Ty Clifford 8a39bc02fa - Added Upkeeping → Correct catalogue order. 
It now recalculates video sort_order from created_at newest-first, so 
videos with corrected/original publish dates appear first in the 
homepage and public catalogue. I also updated 
catalogue/admin/latest-video ordering to use publish date as a 
tie-breaker after stored sort order.

Changelog

All notable changes to this media player project.

2026-06-25

Added

  • Redesigned media sources so videos can use local uploaded files or remote URLs stored in the database.
  • Added provider embed playback in the main player for supported external services, including YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Twitch, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, X/Twitter, SoundCloud, Spotify, Google Drive, Wistia, Streamable, and Loom.
  • Added an admin upload flow that supports either direct uploads or external provider/page URLs.
  • Added metadata fetching for external URLs to populate title, description, duration, thumbnails, publish dates, and readable provider view counts where available.
  • Added automatic thumbnail grabbing for external URLs, plus first-frame thumbnail generation for local videos when ffmpeg is available.
  • Added a YouTube channel importer that scrapes channel videos, previews imports, skips duplicates, and stores imported videos as embedded YouTube sources.
  • Added YouTube timestamp correction so imported and existing YouTube videos can use their original publish dates.
  • Added an Upkeeping section to the admin dashboard for batch maintenance actions.
  • Added per-video local view counts, external provider view counts, total public view counts, and configurable public statistics display.
  • Added upkeep actions to correct external view counts in batches.
  • Added an upkeep action to correct catalogue order from video publish dates so newer dated videos appear first.
  • Added public search for published videos.
  • Added configurable URL rewriting, defaulting to /v/<slug>, /all, and /search/<query>.
  • Added a configurable homepage live section with a Videos/Live toggle and default Stream.Place embed support.
  • Added ?land=live homepage support so the live embed can be displayed first from a shareable landing URL.
  • Added social sharing metadata so video pages expose title, description, and thumbnail image data for link previews.

Changed

  • External provider totals are stored separately from local site plays, then combined for public totals.
  • Public display settings now control per-video counts, total counts, and page statistics.
  • Admin video creation and editing now attempt to fill blank metadata from external media information.
  • The main player now chooses between local media playback, direct remote media playback, and provider embeds based on stored source data.
  • Catalogue ordering now uses publish date as a tie-breaker after stored sort order.
  • README documentation now reflects the current remote URL, provider embed, live section, view count, and pretty URL behavior.

Fixed

  • Improved YouTube channel importing when initial scraping returned no videos.
  • Fixed thumbnail URLs so pagination and non-homepage catalogue pages load poster images correctly.
  • Fixed uploaded and imported YouTube timestamps by reading original provider dates where available.

Removed

  • Removed Imgur-specific embed, thumbnail, metadata, and view-count support.
  • Removed the Imgur wrapper endpoint that previously attempted to proxy official Imgur embed snippets.
