Add optional `int? Id` to ScheduleItemRequest/ReplaceProgramScheduleItem so
a client can round-trip each existing item's server id. When ids are present,
ReplaceProgramScheduleItemsHandler reconciles by id (not array position), so an
item's persisted fill-group/shuffle state (PlayoutScheduleItemFillGroupIndex,
FK OnDelete Cascade) follows the logical item across reorders/inserts instead of
being inherited by whatever previously occupied its new slot (#259, split from
#252/#253). A fully id-less payload keeps the verbatim positional fallback.
Guards (inside PersistItems, after CheckVersion so 412 precedes 422): duplicate
id -> 422; id not in this schedule -> 422 (a stale id under Phase-1 force-write is
a live lost-update signal, not a new item). Index stays array-position derived.
Regenerated v1.json + TS client.

Wire the frozen ETag/If-Match/412 recipe (Block reference implementation)
onto the Template and DecoTemplate aggregates:
- ReplaceTemplateItems / ReplaceDecoTemplateItems commands gain
Option<int> ExpectedVersion; ToCommand() on the request DTOs threads it
through from If-Match.
- Handlers introduce the version check as a standalone Either after
validation (never via Apply), bump Version unconditionally before
saving, and persist through SaveChangesWithConcurrencyGuard so a losing
writer maps to 412 instead of 500. DecoTemplate's post-commit playout
Reset enqueue now only runs after a successful save.
- TemplateViewModel / DecoTemplateViewModel carry Version (header-only,
not echoed in the response body), populated in Mapper.
- TemplateController / DecoTemplateController: GET items emits a strong
ETag of the root's version; PUT parses If-Match (400 on malformed),
threads the expected version into the command, and returns the new
ETag from the refreshed root on success. Both PUT actions now use the
handler's returned item list directly instead of re-querying items.
- SPA: templates.ts / decoTemplates.ts gain getXItemsWithMeta and an
If-Match-aware replaceX; TemplateEditor / DecoTemplateEditor hold the
ETag in a ref, read items-with-meta first on load, and open a
"changed elsewhere" ConfirmDialog on a 412 instead of navigating away.
Tests: new ReplaceTemplateItemsHandlerConcurrencyTests /
ReplaceDecoTemplateItemsHandlerConcurrencyTests mirror the Block
concurrency contract tests (stale/matching/absent If-Match, no-op bump,
racing-save 412, non-vacuous backstop). TemplateControllerTests /
DecoTemplateControllerTests gain ETag/If-Match/412 coverage.
TemplatesScreen.test.tsx / DecoTemplatesScreen.test.tsx gain a 412
conflict-dialog test mirroring BlocksScreen's.

Fans the frozen ETag/If-Match/412 recipe (Block reference, #253) onto the
Playlist aggregate:
- ReplacePlaylistItems command carries ExpectedVersion; the handler runs
CheckVersion as a standalone Either after validation (so a stale write
survives as 412, not flattened to 422 by Apply/Join), bumps Version
unconditionally before saving, and persists via
SaveChangesWithConcurrencyGuard (EF concurrency-token backstop).
- PlaylistViewModel carries Version; the items GET sets a strong ETag and
the PUT parses If-Match, threads it into the command, and returns the
refreshed ETag on success (400 on a malformed If-Match).
- Sibling item-adding handlers (AddItemsToPlaylist, AddMovie/Episode/
Season/ShowToPlaylist) bump Version too, since they mutate the same
editor-visible item list.
- SPA: playlists.ts exposes getPlaylistItemsWithMeta and an
If-Match-aware updatePlaylist; PlaylistEditor holds the ETag in a ref,
round-trips it on save, and opens a "changed elsewhere" ConfirmDialog on
412 (mirrors BlockEditor).
Tests: new ReplacePlaylistItemsHandlerConcurrencyTests (stale/match/
force-write/no-op-bump/racing-save), new PlaylistController tests
(ETag on GET items, 400/412/thread-version/force-write on PUT), and a
vitest 412-conflict-dialog test for PlaylistsScreen. dotnet test:
1304/1304 green. web: npm run typecheck clean, npm run build clean,
vitest 664/664 green.
Ref #253 PR2.
Adds the shared optimistic-concurrency contract so a stale second tab can no longer
silently overwrite a fresher edit. PR1 lands the infra + the Block reference aggregate;
PRs 2–4 fan the same recipe across the other 8 roots (design: #253#issuecomment-8472).
Contract
- `IVersionedAggregate` (`int Version`) on all 9 replace-all roots (ProgramSchedule,
Block, Template, DecoTemplate, Playlist, Collection, Playout, MultiCollection,
RerunCollection), EF-mapped `.IsConcurrencyToken()`; one dual-provider migration
`AddAggregateVersions` (nullable:false, default 0).
- Strong `ETag` of `Version` on the aggregate GET; `If-Match` on the PUT; mismatch →
412 (distinct from the §3a 409 build-lock guard). Successful PUT returns the new ETag.
- `PreconditionFailedError : BaseError` → 412 in `ApiResults.ToErrorResult`;
`ConcurrencyHeaders.ParseIfMatch/SetETag`; malformed If-Match → 400; `*`/absent =
Phase-1 force-write.
Block reference wiring
- Handler: standalone `Either` via `CheckVersion` AFTER validation (never through
`Apply`, which Join()-flattens the subtype to 422), unconditional `Version++`,
`SaveChangesWithConcurrencyGuard` backstop (DbUpdateConcurrencyException → 412).
- `BlockViewModel.Version` (header-only, not echoed in the body); controller sets the
ETag on GET items and on the successful PUT.
- SPA: `client.requestWithMeta` seam; `blocks.getBlockItemsWithMeta` + `replaceBlock`
If-Match/ETag round-trip; `BlockEditor` holds the ETag, sends If-Match, and on 412
opens a blocking "changed elsewhere — reload" dialog.
Tests
- Handler contract tests: stale-If-Match → 412 (no mutation), matching/absent → success
+ bump, no-op save still bumps, and a two-context racing save → 412; proven
non-vacuous (drop `.IsConcurrencyToken()` → the race test fails).
- Controller tests: malformed If-Match → 400, If-Match threaded to the command, ETag on
GET/PUT, 412 passthrough. SPA: requestWithMeta ETag, replaceBlock If-Match, 412 dialog.

Response DTOs (ErsatzTV.Core/Api/MediaSources) and request DTOs
(ErsatzTV/Controllers/Api/Requests) per the #202 design doc §B — the
shared shapes that backend slices S1 (local libraries), S2 (Plex), and
S3 (Jellyfin/Emby) will consume. No controllers or handler changes;
DTOs are unused so far.
Notable: RemoteConnectionResponseModel deliberately never carries the
raw API key (secure connection contract); SaveRemoteConnectionRequest's
To{Jellyfin,Emby}Command(existingApiKey) retains the existing key when
the incoming ApiKey is blank/omitted.
No conventions changed; nothing to update in docs/api-conventions.md.
- POST /api/playlists/{id:int}/items wraps the existing AddItemsToPlaylist
command (mirrors CollectionController.AddItems); controller pre-checks
playlist existence for a real 404, and the handler now rejects adds to
system (generated) playlists, matching the guard already applied to
rename/delete/replace-items so the Blazor path gets the same protection.
- GET /api/search/all-items wraps the existing QuerySearchIndexAllItems
query, returning a new SearchResultAllItemsResponseModel (never expose
the VM directly) so the SPA's shared "add all to collection/playlist"
component can materialize ids before calling the add endpoints, same
two-step flow Blazor's Search.razor already uses.
- Show-detail DTO check: ShowDetailResponseModel already exposes
libraryId, title, and mediaSourceKind (serialized as a string enum via
the global StringEnumConverter) - no changes needed.
Adds controller tests (route table + per-action) for both endpoints and
regenerates the OpenAPI document, endpoint index, and SPA client types.
Backend slice for the ChicoryTV playouts and collections screens.
PlayoutController:
- POST /api/playouts/{id}/erase-items (204; 404 pre-check; 422 unless
Block/Sequential/Scripted) -> ErasePlayoutItems
- POST /api/playouts/{id}/erase-items-and-history (204; 404; 422 unless
Classic/Block/Sequential/Scripted) -> ErasePlayoutHistory
- GET /api/playouts/items/{id}/scheduling-context (200/404) decodes a
playout item's stored context by row id via a new
GetPlayoutItemSchedulingContext query that reuses ProcessSchedulingContext
- PlayoutItemResponseModel gains HasSchedulingContext (no raw JSON in list)
- PlayoutListItemResponseModel gains PlayoutMode (ChannelNumber already present)
CollectionController:
- PUT /api/collections/{id}/custom-order (204; 404 pre-check; 422) with
UpdateCollectionCustomOrderRequest deriving CustomIndex from array order
- GetCollectionItemsHandler orders by CustomIndex (nulls last) then title/id
when the collection's UseCustomPlaybackOrder is set
Tests: controller route + behavior tests, OpenAPI ProblemDetails TestCases,
GetCollectionItems custom-order handler test. Regenerated v1.json, v1.d.ts,
endpoint-index.md.

Hardening from adversarial review of the #153 playlist API:
- PUT /api/playlists/{id}: guard IsSystem in the controller after the
existence pre-check -> 422, so a system (generated) playlist can no
longer be renamed/wiped. ReplacePlaylistItems is never sent for it.
- PUT /api/playlists/groups/{id}: add controller existence pre-check
(404 for missing, mirroring DeleteGroup) plus an IsSystem 422 guard;
RenamePlaylistGroupHandler also gains a system guard (defense-in-depth
for the Blazor path). Missing/system are now distinct outcomes despite
LanguageExtensions.Apply collapsing NotFoundError to a plain BaseError.
- POST /api/playlists/preview: validate each draft item at the controller
boundary (the id required for its collection type must be present) ->
422 before the shared PreviewPlaylistPlayoutHandler runs, preventing a
NRE/500 in the playout builder. Logic lives in ReplacePlaylistRequest so
it stays parallel with ReplacePlaylistItemsHandler's PUT-path check.
Tests: controller cases for system-playlist PUT, system-group PUT,
missing-group 404, and invalid-preview 422 (each asserting the handler is
not invoked); handler tests for RenamePlaylistGroup system/missing/success.

Add write endpoints to PlaylistController for the playlist editor: group
create/rename/delete, playlist create/read/update/delete, item list read,
and draft playout preview. Introduces a RenamePlaylistGroup command/handler
(the one missing Application-layer operation) plus request/response DTOs.
Endpoints (verb / route / route-Name):
- POST /api/playlists/groups CreatePlaylistGroup
- PUT /api/playlists/groups/{id} UpdatePlaylistGroup (rename)
- DELETE /api/playlists/groups/{id} DeletePlaylistGroup
- GET /api/playlists/{id} GetPlaylistById
- GET /api/playlists/{id}/items GetPlaylistItems
- POST /api/playlists CreatePlaylistInGroup
- PUT /api/playlists/{id} UpdatePlaylist (rename + replace items)
- DELETE /api/playlists/{id} DeletePlaylist
- POST /api/playlists/preview PreviewPlaylist
404-vs-422: unknown-id on GET items / PUT / DELETE returns 404 via a
controller-side existence pre-check (mirrors TemplateController.DeleteGroup),
leaving existing shared handlers untouched; validation failures return 422.
RenamePlaylistGroup returns NotFoundError -> 404 for a missing group.
Regenerated wwwroot/openapi/v1.json, docs/endpoint-index.md, and the SPA
client types (web/src/api/generated/v1.d.ts). No SPA screen in this change.

The rerun request mapping's catch-all routed Playlist/RerunFirstRun/RerunRerun/
SearchQuery/Fake* to MediaItemId, so POST/PUT with those persisted a wrong-kind id
and returned 201 instead of 422. Guard both verbs with IsSupportedSelectionType.

Adds MultiCollectionController + RerunCollectionController (list/get/create/update/
delete) over the existing MediatR handlers, with response/request DTOs, controller +
contract tests, regenerated OpenAPI + TS types, and thin SPA api-client modules. SPA
editor screens are a follow-up. Rerun request DTO resolves the chosen entity id into
the minimal VM the handler reads (documented inline).

Add REST endpoints backing the SPA media detail pages and image browser:
- GET /api/movies/{id}, /api/shows/{id}, /api/seasons/{id}, /api/artists/{id}
wrapping the existing detail queries; 404 on None.
- GET /api/media-items/{id}/info wrapping GetMediaItemInfo; UnableToLocateMediaItem
-> 404, other errors -> 422.
- GET /api/images/folders?parentId= and PUT /api/images/folders/{id}/duration
(validates null-or-positive -> 400; existence guard via new ImageFolderExists
query -> 404).
- Extend GetLibraryBrowseItems parentId drill-in to Episode (episodes of a season,
episode-number order) and MusicVideo (an artist's music videos, album/track order),
alongside the existing TelevisionSeason branch.
Response DTOs live in ErsatzTV.Core/Api/* and never expose Application VMs. Artwork
values are rooted for the SPA via a shared ErsatzTV.Core/Api/ApiArtwork helper
(mirrors the #180/#181 browse-handler logic; handles jellyfin/emby proxy prefixes,
http passthrough, empty). Regenerated OpenAPI v1.json + web v1.d.ts. New controllers
registered in ApiControllerSecurityTests.

Adds the REST surface for the #145 troubleshooting leftovers (#158 items 4-5):
- GET /api/playouts/{id}/blocks - blocks a block playout schedules
- GET /api/playouts/{id}/blocks/{blockId}/history - paged block history
- GET /api/playouts/history/{id} - decode a history row by id
- POST /api/troubleshoot/validate-schedule - validate sequential YAML
New MediatR queries GetPlayoutHistoryDetails (Either, 404 unknown row /
422 malformed JSON) and ValidateSequentialSchedule (wraps
ISequentialScheduleValidator, never throws). DecodePlayoutHistoryHandler
and the new by-id handler now share PlayoutHistoryDecoder. Regenerated
openapi/v1.json.

Adds per-playout REST for classic-playout alternate schedules and
block-playout templates, plus the default-deco read-side deferred from S3:
- GET/PUT /api/playouts/{id}/alternate-schedules (Classic only; 422 otherwise)
- GET/PUT /api/playouts/{id}/templates (Block only; 422 otherwise)
- PlayoutResponseModel gains decoId/decoName (GetPlayoutById includes Deco)
PUT assigns Index from array order (top = highest priority, last = catch-all
default), mirroring the Blazor editors. Alternate-schedule PUT requires a
non-empty list and existing ProgramScheduleIds; template PUT requires existing
TemplateIds and any supplied DecoTemplateId. Regenerates the OpenAPI spec.

Adds DecoTemplateController mirroring TemplateController: CRUD for deco
template groups, deco templates (flat list + by-id), item listing, and a
full-replace PUT for a deco template's item list.
Hardening (deviation from a literal port of the existing handlers, matching
the #144 S2 fix for ReplaceTemplateItemsHandler):
- CreateDecoTemplateHandler now validates DecoTemplateGroupId exists before
insert (previously a bad id hit the FK constraint at SaveChanges and
surfaced as a 500; now a 422).
- ReplaceDecoTemplateItemsHandler now rejects invalid items (unknown DecoId,
StartTime >= EndTime unless EndTime is the end-of-day sentinel 00:00:00,
or overlapping ranges) with a 422 instead of silently dropping/persisting
them - the same silent-drop/silent-overlap bug class already fixed for
templates.
Response DTOs serialize the raw item TimeSpans (via .TimeOfDay), so an
end-of-day item still round-trips as StartTime=22:00:00/EndTime=00:00:00
regardless of the ViewModel's day-wrapping DateTime representation.
Adds DecoController (groups + decos CRUD + full-state PUT), playlist and
artist/multi-collection search picker wrappers, a PlaylistController for the
break-content playlist cascade, and PUT /api/playouts/{id}/deco. Fixes the
CreateDecoHandler missing deco-group existence check (FK 500 -> 422), matching
the CreateBlock/CreateTemplate precedent. ReplaceDecoRequest.ToCommand rejects
Merge on the non-mergeable sections (422).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds TemplateController mirroring BlockController: groups CRUD, template
CRUD, item replace (PUT full-replace via ReplaceTemplateItems), and a
copy endpoint. Also wires the missing POST /api/blocks/{id}/copy since
CopyBlock's CQRS shape is directly analogous to CopyTemplate.
Fixes CreateTemplateHandler to validate the target template group exists
before insert (previously an unhandled FK violation -> 500), matching the
CreateBlockHandler fix (1e34e00e) for the same class of bug.
New DTOs in ErsatzTV.Core/Api/Scheduling; TimeSpan start times serialize
the same way as PlayoutResponseModel.DailyRebuildTime.
#144 S2 (#162)

Adds BlockController (block groups + blocks CRUD, items GET, full replace,
non-persisting preview) mirroring ScheduleController, plus four scheduling
search picker endpoints on SearchController (collections, television shows,
television seasons, smart collections). Response DTOs in ErsatzTV.Core/Api/
Scheduling; request DTOs with ToCommand index auto-assignment.
#144 S1 (#162)

- CreatePlayoutRequest now carries a PlayoutScheduleKind discriminator, a
nullable ProgramScheduleId, and a ScheduleFile so POST /api/playouts can
create Classic, Block, Sequential, Scripted, or ExternalJson playouts (not
just Classic). ToCommand() validates per-kind requirements and returns
Either<BaseError, CreatePlayout>, surfacing 422 on mismatched fields via the
existing ToErrorResult() mapping.
- Add PUT /api/playouts/{id} (UpdatePlayoutDetailsRequest): DailyRebuildTime is
always applied (null clears the daily reset, matching the Blazor
SchedulePlayoutReset "Do not automatically reset" semantics); ScheduleFile is
only valid for Sequential/Scripted/ExternalJson playouts (422 otherwise) and
dispatches the matching Update*Playout command.
- Playout existence is checked via GetPlayoutById (real 404) before dispatching
UpdatePlayout, since the command's own "Playout does not exist." validation
produces a plain BaseError (422), not NotFoundError -- an existing quirk in
UpdatePlayoutHandler left as-is (out of scope for this slice).
- Extend ApiErrorResponseMetadataTests + PlayoutControllerTests for the new
Update action and the widened Create action (block/sequential/file-kind
validation paths).
- Regenerate ErsatzTV/wwwroot/openapi/v1.json via update-openapi.sh.
Adds TraktController (GET/POST /api/trakt/lists, GET/PUT/DELETE by id,
POST .../match, GET /api/trakt/status) covering the API gap for SPA
parity issue #142. Add/match/delete dispatch to the same
ChannelWriter<IBackgroundServiceRequest> the classic Blazor "Trakt
Lists" page uses, gated by the existing IEntityLocker (LockTrakt/
IsTraktLocked) singleton; GET /api/trakt/status wraps IsTraktLocked as
the HTTP-observable substitute for the Blazor page's OnTraktChanged
event. URL validation mirrors AddTraktListHandler.ValidateUrl's regexes
(replicated, since that method is private to the handler and returns a
handler-private record) so an obviously-invalid URL gets a synchronous
422 before dispatch.
Adds TraktListResponseModel/PagedTraktListsResponseModel/
TraktStatusResponseModel DTOs, AddTraktListRequest/UpdateTraktListRequest,
controller tests, ApiControllerSecurityTests + OpenApiErrorResponseContractTests
coverage, and regenerates the checked-in OpenAPI document.
Backend plumbing for the SPA transcoding editors (#143 blocker):
- FFmpeg profile response DTO round-trip: add NormalizeAudio, NormalizeVideo,
PadMode, TargetLoudness, NormalizeColors, ResolutionId (keep Resolution name
for compat); DeinterlaceVideo now bool (was bool?). #nullable enable on the DTO.
- New GET /api/ffmpeg/hardware-acceleration-kinds wrapping
GetSupportedHardwareAccelerationKinds (returns enum names as strings).
- Filler preset CRUD: GET-by-id/POST/PUT/DELETE on FillerPresetController with
full request/response DTOs; new FillerPresetFullResponseModel +
GetFillerPresetByIdForApi. CreateFillerPreset now returns the new id
(CreateFillerPresetResult) to match sibling Create commands and enable a
201+Location; updated the one Blazor call site.
- Watermark CRUD: GET-by-id/POST/PUT/DELETE on WatermarkController with full
DTOs (path+contentType, all 15 fields); new WatermarkFullResponseModel +
GetWatermarkByIdForApi.
- Startup: register WatermarkLocation/WatermarkSize as OpenAPI string enums
(they live in ErsatzTV.FFmpeg.State and were documented as ints, mismatching
the Newtonsoft StringEnumConverter runtime serialization).
- Tests: full CRUD controller tests for filler + watermark; contract-test
entries (404/401/422) for the new mutating endpoints; regenerated v1.json.

Adversarial review found the previous multi-flood design non-viable:
PlayoutModeSchedulerFlood never yields to a following Dynamic-start
schedule item, so only the first item ever played, and grouping
media items into a Collection silently dropped the requested order.
Redesign:
- Single-item lineup: one ProgramScheduleItemFlood referencing the
target directly (media item / collection / smart / multi / rerun /
playlist); no generated collection or playlist. Response PlaylistId
is null.
- Multi-item lineup (>= 2): one generated IsSystem Playlist in a
get-or-created IsSystem PlaylistGroup ("Channel Lineups"), one
PlaylistItem per entry in lineup order with PlayAll=true, referenced
by a single Flood schedule item. Rerun collections and playlists are
rejected (422) in multi lineups (PlaylistItem/CollectionKey lack the
fields to enumerate them).
Review fixes:
- Normalize + strict-validate MediaType<->CollectionType pairs once up
front (422 on mismatch / wrong id / not exactly one id).
- Reject MultiCollection with non-Shuffle order (mirrors
PlayoutModeMustBeValid), Mirror playout source, all via 422.
- OnDemand parity: queue TimeShiftOnDemandPlayout post-commit.
- De-collide generated ProgramSchedule and Playlist names against their
unique indexes instead of leaking a UNIQUE-constraint DbUpdateException.
- Generic 422 on save failure + ILogger; AnyAsync existence checks;
Either/Validation unwrap via Match; XML doc on request DTO + endpoint.
- Response model: ChannelId, PlaylistId (nullable), ProgramScheduleId,
PlayoutId (CollectionId removed). Regenerated OpenAPI v1.json + v1.d.ts.

ChannelResponseModel and BulkChannelRequests DTOs lacked file-scoped
#nullable enable, so the OpenAPI generator emitted every string
property as a ["null","string"] union (project Nullable default is
disable), polluting SPA typegen with needless `| null` unions.
ChannelStateResponseModel already complied with this convention
(precedent: PlayoutResponseModel). All properties in both files are
always populated (never null in practice), so no property needed to
become explicitly optional/nullable - just adding #nullable enable
was sufficient to clean up the generated schema.

First slice of the REST API (ersatztv#2). Idiomatic REST over existing MediatR handlers; design in docs/rest-api.md.
Foundation: NotFoundError : BaseError (Core) to split 404 from 422; ApiResults mapping helpers (Either/Option -> 201+Location / 200 / 204 / 404 / 422), additive (existing *ToActionResult untouched); ApiKeyAuthorizationFilter (optional X-Api-Key on mutating actions, gated by Api:WriteKey, no-op when unset) — independent of the IPTV JWT toggle so Jellyfin/Dispatcharr reads are unaffected, applied at controller-class level so every mutating action incl. ResetPlayout is covered fail-safe.
Channels: POST /api/channels (201+Location), PUT/{id} (200/404), DELETE/{id} (204/404), GET/{id} (200/404). Request DTOs -> existing commands; responses reuse ChannelViewModel. Ported page-only validations into handlers (ShowInEpg-when-disabled, external-logo-URL, Group NotEmpty) + FFmpegProfile/Watermark/Filler existence on update for create-parity. Fixed a latent 500: the .Filter(c>0) existence pattern threw TaskCanceledException on not-found; rewritten to AnyAsync.
Tests (NUnit, TZ=UTC): handler success/404/422, ApiResults mapping, API-key filter, controller status/Location/mapping, a controller-security regression net, and a create->read->delete EF integration test on a new in-memory SQLite harness. ErsatzTV.Tests 46/46, Architecture 5/5.
