Blank Box Community 1.0.1
We've added preorder tracking and expanded Intend to Buy into a Wishlist for this update. This update also cleans up the playback section and improves how Plex and Jellyfin copies fit together in your library.
Preorders and Wishlist
Preorders keeps the details of titles you've paid for but haven't received: edition, label, retailer, quantity, price, dates, tracking number and notes. When an order arrives, add it as a new copy or match it to something already in your library. Physical and digital purchases have their own fields.
Partial deliveries are supported. If one of three copies arrives, you can add that copy and leave the other two outstanding. Received orders stay in your history. You can select several orders and work through their deliveries one at a time.
Wishlist is for titles you plan to buy. Your saved list appears before suggestions, and you can turn an entry into a preorder or add it to your library once you've bought it. Both pages are available from My Library and Physical Media, with optional sidebar shortcuts.
Playback, sources and editions
Watch and Listen now show one row for Plex, Jellyfin and local files. Change source lets you choose a version or quality. The main playback button and the season, episode, disc and track lists follow that choice.
Library cards now show source and edition counts below the title. A physical edition and a digital edition count separately. The same standard cut on Plex and Jellyfin counts as one edition; different named cuts stay separate. Songs, episodes and playback qualities don't add to your title count.
Clear Plex/Jellyfin duplicates can merge in existing libraries and after a sync. Your sources, copies and saved details stay with the title. Conflicting details, uncertain matches and titles you've chosen to keep separate won't merge automatically. The matching guide explains the rules.
Other fixes
- Keeping current details retains the selected metadata provider and your corrections.
- Match confirmation runs in the background, and unfinished reviews remain available.
- Library refresh keeps the loaded cards visible and handles failed requests without requiring a page reload.
- Adding another connected service no longer interferes with saving Settings.
- Duplicate service-link and OIDC sections are removed.
- Clicking My Library again clears its search.
- Docker reference indexing no longer runs out of space in its temporary folder.

For safe practice: Back up your library before updating. Version 1.0.1 upgrades the catalog to schema 23. If you need to return to 1.0.0, you'll need its matching pre-update catalog and assets as well as the older software. Keep any later work before restoring that backup. Update and recovery guide
Note: Windows still uses the older experimental package and cannot open a schema 23 catalog. (We will be releasing a stable Windows release in the coming weeks).
