Findings from a pass over the plugin, smallest first:
Redemptions now run one at a time behind a gate. The status checks and the status
write that follows them were not atomic, so two requests arriving together with
the same one-use token could both mint a guest session. The spent-link check also
moved above the tagging step, so hammering an already-used link no longer re-tags
a whole series on every hit.
The configured maximum expiry is actually respected. Both the API and the picker
did Math.max(configured, 720), so setting the ceiling to anything under 30 days
was silently ignored. The picker now also hides the quick-pick durations that sit
above the ceiling.
The share URL, which carries the raw token, is dropped from the record when the
link is revoked or expires. Records are never deleted, so dead tokens were
accumulating in the store forever. Live links keep it so the dashboard can still
copy them, and the README claim that no token is ever written to disk is corrected
to say what the code actually does.
The HMAC key file is created 0600 instead of inheriting the default mask.
Sharing a series or season now tags the entire tree (series, seasons,
episodes) so the guest can browse and play everything inside it, and
strips it all again at cleanup. Redeeming re-tags the tree, so episodes
added after the link was created show up on the next redemption. The
guest lockdown in the web client now asks the server whether a page's
item is visible to the guest instead of hard-coding the single shared
id, so guests can navigate inside the shared tree but nowhere else.
Libraries and collections are still rejected.
Bumps the version to 1.0.1.0.
The old flow encrypted the guest password on disk next to its own key,
then sent it to the guest in the bootstrap HTML anyway. Now redemption
mints the session with ISessionManager.AuthenticateDirect and the page
only ever carries the session token. The guest account still gets a
random password nobody knows, so blank login stays impossible, but no
password is stored or sent anywhere anymore. Cleanup now defaults to
every 30 minutes instead of daily at 4am so expired guests die fast.
The sign-in bootstrap sent the auth request body as a JS object, so it
was coerced to [object Object] and AuthenticateByName returned 400. Send
JSON.stringify(...) instead.
Guest credentials were written to localStorage as a flat object under
made-up keys. jellyfin-web reads jellyfin_credentials as
{Servers:[{Id,AccessToken,UserId,...}]}, so the guest was treated as
logged out. Write that shape, pulling server Id/name from
System/Info/Public, and redirect with the 10.11 hash route
(#/details?id=...&serverId=...) instead of the legacy #!/ form that
rendered a blank page.
Creating a link now rejects folders and libraries (only movies and
episodes are shareable) so a guest cannot land on an empty tag-filtered
library. Item ids from the menu action are validated as GUIDs client
side, rejected creates are logged server side, malformed redeem tokens
return 404 instead of 500, and the admin table shows the item name and a
copyable link instead of the raw item id.
Includes fix for redemption failing with DbUpdateConcurrencyException:
change the guest password before applying the user policy, since
UpdatePolicyAsync bumps the user's EF concurrency token and a stale
instance then breaks ChangePassword.
