DiscVault v26.4.70
DiscVault v26.4.70
This release promotes the complete beta feature train from DiscVault 26.4.54
to 26.4.70. It introduces a redesigned Library and movie detail experience,
optional password and TOTP authentication, secure MovieVault poster
distribution, reversible artwork hiding, and more flexible Member Group and
container management.
Highlights
- Modern responsive Library. The Library is now a sortable table with
responsive desktop and compact layouts, richer metadata columns, persistent
watched and Watchlist filters, and improved director fallbacks.
(#288,
#289,
#290) - iOS-inspired movie details. Movie pages now use a full-bleed mobile hero,
streamlined management controls, redesigned personal-list actions, dated
rewatch logging, searchable colour-coded tags, and responsive cast, crew,
artwork, and video galleries.
(#281,
#282,
#284) - Optional Legacy authentication. Administrators can enable Argon2id
username/password authentication with TOTP, temporary passwords, unified
single-use recovery codes, per-user passkey policy, Owner bootstrap, and
expanded Users & Roles management.
(#297,
#298,
#302) - MovieVault distribution 3 and 4. DiscVault adds strict,
checksum-verified local-index synchronization, exact box-set editions, richer
release metadata, and secure background caching of MovieVault posters.
(#287,
#295,
#301) - Member Groups and owned containers. Group-shared movies now expose their
containing box sets and vaults. Group owners can rename eligible groups,
remove empty groups, and convert owned box sets into vaults or vaults into
box sets without losing container data.
(#305)
Movie details, artwork, and metadata
- Personal Lists now provide dedicated Log rewatch and Watchlist
actions, quick date choices, a native date picker, and a searchable tag
picker. - Cast and crew use responsive portrait cards with age-at-release information,
while media galleries use localized More controls and accessible artwork
actions. - Hidden posters and backdrops can be reviewed, restored, or permanently
deleted. Hidden artwork remains excluded from primary-artwork selection and
metadata refreshes, and its state is retained in backups.
(#304) - Country flags and age classifications now appear consistently in the movie
header. Metadata refreshes update unlocked ratings while preserving manually
locked values.
(#291,
#292) - Audio and subtitle editing fields have been expanded for multi-line values.
(#294) - Metadata comparison and artwork diagnostics are now restricted to Debug
mode. (#283)
MovieVault and privacy
- Distribution 3 introduces atomic full generations, transactional deltas,
strict digest validation, nullable studio/distributor/runtime metadata, and
ordered exact-edition box sets. - Distribution 4 adds secure poster metadata and bounded background caching.
Downloads are validated for media type, size, checksum, and decoded image
dimensions before activation. - Cached MovieVault posters are served only through authenticated local
DiscVault URLs with private cache semantics; MovieVault origins and
credentials are never exposed to clients. - Failed poster replacements retain the previous valid image and report an
explicit degraded, pending, or error state. - Person profiles and filmographies now come exclusively from TMDb. Stored
MovieVault-derived person data is migrated or rebuilt where appropriate.
(#296)
Member Groups and container ownership
- Members can discover the box sets and vaults that contain movies shared with
their Member Groups. - Member Group owners can rename groups and delete a group once no other
members remain. - Containers now have durable ownership across creation, synchronization,
import, background workers, backup, and restore. - Authorized owners can convert a box set into a vault, or a vault into a box
set, from the existing editor while preserving movies, ordering, artwork,
metadata, identifiers, barcode, location, cover, public identity, and
collection references.
Additional improvements
- Accessibility, keyboard focus restoration, compact layouts, and responsive
controls have been improved throughout the Library and movie-detail
interfaces. - New and changed user-facing flows include complete translations across all
29 supported locales. - Backup and restore coverage now includes Legacy authentication, hidden
artwork, and container ownership.
Upgrade notes
- MovieVault distribution 4 remains inactive until the installed
movievault_v2plugin explicitly advertises distribution-4 compatibility. - Enabling Legacy authentication requires the corresponding deployment and
environment configuration; existing passkey authentication remains
supported. - Database migrations run automatically during the normal upgrade process.
