v0.11.0 - Drop legacy status fields & Has Downloads filter

v0.11.0 - August 9, 2026

What's New: ✨

• The legacy status fields are gone for good — Trailarr removed the internal trailer_exists and stored status database fields, so your download records are now the only source of truth — see the roadmap.

• New Has Downloads filter — custom filters can check whether a media item has at least one downloaded video on disk — see Filters.

• Pick a local address for your Plex server — the server-selection step after Plex sign-in now offers a Custom URL choice and a Test button, so you can point Trailarr at a local address (instead of the external URLs Plex provides) and check that it is reachable before you connect — see Plex Connection.

• Season counts for Plex-only series — series tracked only through a Plex connection now get their season count from the seasons present in your Plex library (Specials excluded), so Season Count filters and views work without a Sonarr connection.

• Your database file shrinks after upgrades — Trailarr now runs a VACUUM after database migrations, so space freed by schema changes is returned to the filesystem — see Backup & Restore.

Custom filters are migrated automatically. Every change is logged at migration time with the filter's name. The exact transformations:

Your old filter	What happens in v0.11.0
Profile filter on Trailer Exists (any value)	Removed — a profile that already owns a download never re-downloads, so the condition is automatic now
Profile filter on Status (any value)	Removed — same reason
View filter Trailer Exists Equals true/false	Becomes Has Downloads Equals true/false
View filter Status Equals downloaded	Becomes Has Downloads Equals true
View filter Status Equals missing	Becomes Has Downloads Equals false
View filter Status Equals monitored	Becomes Monitor Equals true
Any other Status filter (e.g. Equals downloading, Not Equals, Contains)	Removed — it has no equivalent; recreate it with the new fields if needed

Bug Fixes: 🐛

• Dropdown menus open in the correct place again on new Chrome versions — a change in Chrome 151 moved the filter, sort, view, log level, event, and assign-profile dropdown menus to the corner of the screen instead of next to their buttons.

Other Changes: ⚙️

• The API no longer returns trailer_exists or status fields on media objects. Read the downloads list (any entry with file_exists=true) and the monitor flag instead.

• The Monitor Interval setting is removed from Settings > General and from the settings API — it has had no effect since v0.8.0; change each task's interval on the Tasks page instead.

• You cannot downgrade below v0.11.0 after upgrading. To go back, restore the automatic pre-upgrade backup — see Backup & Restore.

• Connection syncs no longer scan media folders for trailer files. The files scan owns trailer detection, so Trailer Detected events now come only from it.

• Screen readers now skip the app's decorative icons, and every icon-only button has an accessible name.

• With WEBUI_DISABLE_AUTH=true, the UI now hides the logout button and pauses live updates after inactivity (with a Resume dialog) instead of bouncing through the login page for a new session. The paused session id is deleted on the server, so requests that replay it get a 401 response.

• Trailarr checks the configured yt-dlp, ffmpeg, and ffprobe paths at startup, falls back to the system PATH when a configured path does not exist, and logs a clear error that names the variable to set when the tool is not found at all — see Self Install.

• When a download or scan fails because a configured binary is missing, the error now names the configured path and the environment variable to fix instead of a bare FileNotFoundError / [WinError 2] message.

• Trailarr logs a warning when a profile's yt-dlp extra options override an option Trailarr sets (for example -f); the profile value stays active — see Yt-dlp Extra Options.
