Prioritized Map Database, Low-Voltage Warning

What's Changed

Map Database

• The map database has been moved it it's own Postgresql cluster. This will enhance the responsiveness of your WROLPi. The map database has been given a very low process priority so it would not compete with other more important processes.

File Downloads

• File downloader has been changed to use aria2c. This will enhance the speed of downloads and simplifies code.

Navigation Bar

• Low-voltage, over-current, low memory, busy disk warnings are now displayed in the interface. This gives you a heads up of potential causes of sluggishness, or potential damage to your WROLPi.

Help

• Updated Help with changes to the Channel pages, and Map database.

Version Bumps

• Bump path-to-regexp and express in /app by @dependabot in #287
• Bump nanoid from 3.3.4 to 3.3.8 in /app by @dependabot in #289

Warnings

This update will take longer than normal (even several hours) as your map is migrated.

Video Download Options, Random Tag Colors, Trace Logging

What's Changed

Video Downloads

• Video Downloads have more options and much more control. New options for playlist/channel include:
  • Video Resolutions: An ordered list which allows the user to choose which resolution the videos should be downloaded as, uses the first match.
  • Download Order: Controls the order in which videos are downloaded, you can download newest, or most viewed
  • Video Count Limit: Used to limit the amount of videos downloaded per playlist/channel. Pair this with Download Order to "download the top 100 videos" of a Channel, for example.
  • Minimum Duration: Used to skip shorts.
  • Maximum Duration: Used to skip hours-long videos.
  • Channel Tag: Used to Tag a Channel, if this download will create a new Channel with no tag.

Video Settings

• Videos > Settings: Maintainer can now select defaults for metadata files that are downloaded in tandem with a video.

Navigation

• Search button on the navigation bar now matches the rest of the color of the navigation bar.
• Displays a pending circle when maps are being imported.

Maps

• Map tiles are "primed" after import. This works by fetching the first several layers of the map to speed up the first-time use.

Tags

• Tags has new Random button which will suggest a random, but unique color.

System

• Introduced a Trace log level to show even more details when debugging.
• Config files are initialized on first startup, if no configs exist. Useful for starting a new WROLPi.

Channel Tags, Tags Directory

What's Changed

Channels

• Channels can have one tag. Channels are moved into a Tag directory for easy browsing using the files directly. For example, videos/WROLPi may be tagged with RPi and moved to videos/RPi/WROLPi
• Channels can be moved to any custom directory.
• Channels can have multiple Downloads, managed on each Channel's page.

Configs

• Configs can be manually saved and imported. Configs will not be overwritten if they failed to import. This prevents potential data loss.
• Configs are saved using background threads to speed up user UI and ensure data is written completely.

Status/Settings

• Top processes are displayed on Status Page.
• Hotspot will not overwrite wlan device if it is already in use. This is to allow the WROLPi to not drop a connection to the Wi-Fi it uses for the internet.
• Navbar color can be changed in Settings.
• Special download directories can be configured (archive/videos/zims/maps). Videos are typically downloaded to videos/%(channel_tag)s/%(channel_name)s, but this can be changed to any directory the maintainer needs.

Tags

• A new "tags" directory will automatically be managed by WROLPi. This allows you to browse your tagged files even without the WROLPi UI.

Other

• Directory search has been reworked to allow easier creation of new directories.
• Video comments are sorted by timestamp under each parent comment.
• Increased help.sh script tests to help the maintainer narrow down issues.
• New MOTD encourages maintainer to finish WROLPi setup, also points to help script and docs.
• Updated yt-dlp version.
