6.0.0

🚀 MediaFusion 6.0.0 Released

A complete Rust rewrite bringing major performance, reliability, and feature improvements.

🌟 Major Highlights

• Full Rust rewrite — The entire backend is now a native Rust/Axum application replacing the legacy Python/FastAPI server for dramatically improved performance and stability.
• Embedded React frontend — The React SPA is now compiled directly into the server binary; no separate Node.js build or frontend server required.
• PostgreSQL-native types — All 14 Postgres enums now use native Rust enum types with compile-time SQL validation via sqlx macros, eliminating runtime type mismatches.
• Admin genre management — New admin-managed genre system with per-type hide/show toggles, replacing the hardcoded adult genre filter with a flexible seeded database.
• NSFW content filtering — ONNX-based NSFW classifier for poster scanning, stream keyword blocking with word-boundary matching, and admin review dashboard.
• Keyword blocklist system — Admin-managed keyword filter and whitelist with runtime reload, version-tagged cache invalidation, and a precomputed is_keyword_blocked column for fast queries.
• M3U/IPTV import — Full M3U and Xtream playlist import with live channel classification, catalog linking, placeholder poster generation, and m3u_url re-sync support.
• Database Manager — Complete admin database UI with row counts, filters, bulk edit/delete, orphan cleanup, maintenance (VACUUM/ANALYZE), export (CSV/JSON/SQL), and import.
• Task Manager & Scheduler — Admin-controlled IMDb import settings, cron job management with live status, and scheduler panel for cron control.
• Torrin debrid provider — New Torrin file-based debrid service added alongside existing Real-Debrid, TorBox, Seedr, and others.
• Usenet playback support — Usenet stream playback with nzb_guid support and provider-aware playback URLs.
• DMM hashlist ingestion — Full DMM hashlist worker with strict metadata matching and local IMDB FTS search.
• Real-time SSE updates — Server-Sent Events for live task and scheduler updates, replacing frontend polling.
• My Streams revamp — Contributors now have direct controls over their streams with deep links and provider-aware stream ID pinning.
• Episode link clearing — Per-file episode metadata clearing for torrent files, with clear variant syntax in the frontend.
• Browser-based scraper bypass — Cloudflare challenge solving via browserless v2 JS evaluation for sport-video.org.ua and ext_to.
• Contribution bot (Telegram) — Full Telegram contribution bot with multi-step wizard, webhook dispatcher, and per-user channel support.
• Metadata search & relinking — New metadata match search API, stream relink UI, and file-level episode annotation dialogs.
• MediaFlow proxy routing — All debrid/usenet API calls now optionally route through MediaFlow proxy with IP forwarding.
• Egress watchdog — TCP keepalive and egress watchdog for k8s/gost tunnel staleness prevention with configurable fail thresholds.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• 🔧 Fixed MDBList catalog config sync and stale cache keys
• 🔧 Fixed series stream_media_link gap causing total_streams = 0 and hidden series in catalogs
• 🔧 Fixed all metadata suggestion fields (poster, genres, cast, crew, catalogs) applying correctly on approval
• 🔧 Fixed media deletion cascade to clean up dependent streams and invalidate caches
• 🔧 Fixed adult genre blocking by propagating adult flag from genre link via new trigger
• 🔧 Fixed TVDB JWT auth flow — no longer logs users out on upstream 401
• 🔧 Fixed keyword-blocked recompute running unconditionally on every restart
• 🔧 Fixed advisory-lock leak in migrations that blocked restarts
• 🔧 Fixed AIOStreams header-based config being ignored on public stream routes
• 🔧 Fixed M3U analyze/import response contract mismatch causing false errors
• 🔧 Fixed web UI logout triggered by non-auth 401 responses from content endpoints
• 🔧 Fixed placeholder poster generation when upstream poster URL fetch fails
• 🔧 Fixed scheduler never enqueueing cron jobs when last_enqueued_at is NULL
• 🔧 Fixed stream validation rejecting valid torrents, usenet, and telegram streams
• 🔧 Fixed HDR multi-select format handling in the stream edit UI
• 🔧 Fixed DMM hashlist test keyword mapped to wrong field
• 🔧 Fixed RealDebrid filename block patterns breaking legitimate content
• 🔧 Fixed IMDb import COPY transaction lacking proper rollback handling
• 🔧 Fixed series episode metadata not persisting for user-created series
• 🔧 Fixed catalog search cache key missing search parameter
• 🔧 Fixed TorBox DIFF_ISSUE race condition causing silent failures
• 🔧 Fixed seedr cache check using wrong endpoint and form encoding

⚡ Performance

• 🚀 jemalloc allocator — Replaced glibc malloc with tikv-jemallocator to eliminate RSS memory growth
• 🚀 Database optimizations — HOT-update fixes, lower(title,type) functional index, partial FK indexes, and fillfactor=85 for stream/media tables
• 🚀 Catalog genre query — Replaced expensive 3-table JOIN with EXISTS subquery over small genre table
• 🚀 Live search cooldown — Stream cache lock now persists 5 minutes instead of clearing on every successful response (25× faster warm queries: ~2000ms → ~75ms)
• 🚀 Rate limiter cache — Replaced unbounded HashMap with moka cache (1024 entries, 1-hour TTL) to prevent memory growth
• 🚀 Connection pool hardening — Configurable pool settings with after_connect hooks for statement_timeout and idle transaction cleanup
• 🚀 Keyword filtering — Precomputed is_keyword_blocked boolean column with partial index replaces O(N_rows × N_keywords) per-query scans
