MediaChips v1.6.0

Added

• CLIP semantic search — describe a scene to find media; query auto-translate for UI languages; play hits at the matching grid tile
• Find scene — visual search from a described moment; open hits near the matching timeline tile
• Similar media wall — explore CLIP neighbors with health tips and an explore loop
• Post-add smart wizard — path tags, grids, faces, CLIP index, chapters, neighbor-tag suggestions, organize, and TPDB scrape steps
• Library health score — safe fix queue and snoozeable alerts
• Clip Studio — select, export, and reveal clips; reels and multi-select for markers and playlists
• NL → playlist mix — build a mix from filters / CLIP from the filter bar and global search
• Blind Person auto-tags — optional Person N tags for unlabeled face clusters (off by default)
• Auto chapters — scene + silence detection with readable titles (heuristics / Local AI / CLIP-aware)
• Any-tag player marks — favorite, bookmark/chapter, or any library tag; no separate Marks in player flag
• Stash / Jellyfin bidirectional sync — pull metadata and push ratings/tags for already matched media
• Person timeline appearances — seek and play appearances on performer tag pages
• Media merge — keep one item and remap linked metadata; duplicates review in Database settings
• More like this — visual-hash neighbors on the media list
• Text / audio — in-app text preview and search; audio covers from ID3
• Zip galleries — import images from zip archives; path tags from folder/zip paths
• Chip recipes — installable meta/chip presets for common library setups
• Local AI assist — filter goals and explicit assist in global search

Changed

• Playback — prefer direct play before live transcode; safer hover preview remux/live fallback for layout-broken MP4s
• Face match default — new databases use Suggest only (not auto-apply)
• Smart wizard — Enhance now as the safe one-click default; CLIP / neighbor tags suggest for review instead of auto-applying
• Path tag parser — enabled by default for new/first-assigned tag categories (opt out in field settings)
• Meta manager — Capabilities tab renamed to Built-in fields; clearer category menus
• Edit dialog — compact tag color control and clearer value restore buttons
• Settings — compact vertical nav on mobile; remove obsolete app cache-clear UI
• API recovery — reconnect after local API disconnects without a full app restart
• Browser layout — sole library layout; mobile-friendly control deck; denser edit dialogs
• Huge galleries — virtual masonry for large image sets; infinite card grids stay non-virtual with throttled loads and less CLS
• Performance — Slim SQL projections, Sharp for hashes/faces, API in a separate Electron Node child, larger image data window with safer thumbs; faster auto chapters

Fixed

• Packaged app launch — rewrite Electron ../api|app|shared requires onto .backend-build so the asar finds modules after the packaging change (fixes missing ../api/types/errors on startup); spawn the API child with a real directory cwd (asar path is a file → ENOTDIR); ship Drizzle SQL migrations in the asar for new databases
• Hover preview — wrong scrub-frame flash, sticky unavailable cache (TTL), leave fade / scroll guard
• WebM duration — probe packet PTS when container metadata is missing (live chunks / playability)
• Find scene / mix playlists — semantic seeks land on the matching tile instead of EOF or stolen resume
• FFmpeg thumbs — single-image thumbnail generation edge cases
• Semantic index UX — partial CLIP index no longer looks “ready”; locale strings for new features
• Duplicates merge — confirm before single-group merge, especially when deleting loser files
• Locale switching — image viewer chrome and related UI polish
• Feedback bugs — starter meta, shift-select, tag counts, relaunch, page settings, splash
