# optimize_library.py - Complete Feature Restore

## Overview

Restored all degraded functionality from original `optimise_media_v2.py` and added new features:
- Intelligent VMAF targeting (94 → 93 → estimate for 12% savings)
- Comprehensive logging system (separate logs for tv/movies vs content)
- Before/after metadata tracking
- Hardware encoding with 1 HW worker + CPU workers
- Plex refresh on completion
- Resume capability and graceful shutdown
- Lock file coordination for multi-machine setups

---

## Key Features

### 1. Intelligent VMAF Target Search

**Flow:**
```
Try VMAF 94
  ↓ Success? → Check savings ≥ 12%
  ↓ Yes                    ↓ No
  Encode at 94          Try VMAF 93
                           ↓
                         Savings ≥ 12%?
                           ↓ Yes          ↓ No
                       Encode at 93  Find 15% (test 92, 90)
```

**Benefits:**
- Targets high quality first (VMAF 94)
- Falls back to VMAF 93 if needed
- Estimates VMAF for 15%+ savings if both fail
- Logs recommendations for manual review

### 2. Comprehensive Logging System

**Log Files (in log_dir):**
- `tv_movies.jsonl` - Successful encodes from /tv and /movies
- `content.jsonl` - Successful encodes from /content
- `failed_encodes.jsonl` - Encoding errors
- `failed_searches.jsonl` - Files that couldn't hit any VMAF target
- `low_savings_skips.jsonl` - Files with <12% savings + 15% estimates

**Log Entry Structure:**
```json
{
  "file": "/path/to/file.mkv",
  "status": "success",
  "vmaf": 94.0,
  "crf": 37.0,
  "before": {
    "codec": "h264",
    "width": 1280,
    "height": 720,
    "bitrate": 1010,
    "size": 158176376,
    "duration": 1252.298
  },
  "after": {
    "codec": "av1",
    "width": 1280,
    "height": 720,
    "bitrate": 775,
    "size": 121418115,
    "duration": 1252.296
  },
  "duration": 1299.28,
  "savings": 23.24,
  "timestamp": "2025-12-31T13:56:55.894288"
}
```

### 3. Before/After Metadata

**Tracked metrics:**
- Codec (h264, hevc, av1, etc.)
- Resolution (width × height)
- Bitrate (calculated from size × 8 / duration - more reliable than ffprobe)
- File size (bytes)
- Duration (seconds)
- Savings percentage

**Why calculate bitrate from file size?**
- FFmpeg's bitrate field often returns 0 for VBR files
- File size + duration = accurate, reliable metric

### 4. Hardware Encoding with 1 HW Worker

**Configuration:**
```bash
# Enable hardware encoding with 1 HW worker + rest CPU
python3 optimize_library.py /media --hwaccel auto --use-hardware-worker --workers 4
```

**Behavior:**
- First file processed: Uses hardware encoding (faster, GPU-accelerated)
- Remaining files: Use CPU encoding (slower, more accurate)
- Hardware methods auto-detected:
  - Windows: d3d11va
  - macOS: videotoolbox
  - Linux/WSL: vaapi

**Why 1 HW worker?**
- GPU memory is limited - multiple simultaneous encodes may OOM
- CPU encoding yields higher quality at same CRF
- Best of both worlds: 1 fast GPU encode, rest high-quality CPU encodes

**To disable hardware:**
```bash
python3 optimize_library.py /media --hwaccel none
# or just omit --hwaccel flag
```

### 5. Separate Logging by Directory

**Automatic detection:**
- Scanning `/mnt/Media/tv` or `/mnt/Media/movies` → Logs to `tv_movies.jsonl`
- Scanning `/mnt/Media/content` → Logs to `content.jsonl`

**Exclusion:**
- When scanning `/tv` or `/movies`, the `/content` subdirectory is automatically excluded

**Example:**
```bash
# TV/Movies - logged together
python3 optimize_library.py /mnt/Media/movies
# Creates: tv_movies.jsonl

# Content - logged separately
python3 optimize_library.py /mnt/Media/content
# Creates: content.jsonl
```

### 6. Plex Refresh on Completion

**Configuration:**
```bash
python3 optimize_library.py /media \
  --plex-url http://localhost:32400 \
  --plex-token YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
```

**Behavior:**
- After all files processed (or shutdown), triggers Plex library refresh
- Only refreshes if at least 1 file was successfully encoded
- Uses Plex API: `GET /library/sections/1/refresh`

**To get Plex token:**
1. Sign in to Plex Web
2. Go to Settings → Network
3. Look for "List of IP addresses and ports that have authorized devices"
4. Copy token (long alphanumeric string)

### 7. Resume Capability

**Automatic skip:**
- Files already processed in current run are skipped
- Uses lock files for multi-machine coordination
- Press Ctrl+C for graceful shutdown

**Lock file mechanism:**
```
/log_dir/.lock/{video_filename}
```

- Before processing: Check if lock exists → Skip if yes
- Start processing: Create lock
- Finish processing: Remove lock

**Multi-machine safe:**
- Machine A: No lock → Create lock → Encode → Remove lock
- Machine B: Lock exists → Skip file
- Result: Different machines process different files automatically

### 8. Graceful Shutdown

**Behavior:**
- Press Ctrl+C → Current tasks finish, new tasks stop
- Output: "⚠️  Shutdown requested. Finishing current tasks..."
- No partial encodes left hanging

## Usage Examples

### Basic Usage (CPU only)
```bash
python3 optimize_library.py /mnt/Media/movies
```

### Hardware Encoding (1 HW + 3 CPU workers)
```bash
python3 optimize_library.py /mnt/Media/movies \
  --hwaccel auto \
  --use-hardware-worker \
  --workers 4
```

### With Plex Refresh
```bash
python3 optimize_library.py /mnt/Media/tv \
  --plex-url http://localhost:32400 \
  --plex-token YOUR_TOKEN \
  --workers 2
```

### Custom Settings
```bash
python3 optimize_library.py /mnt/Media/movies \
  --vmaf 95 \
  --preset 7 \
  --workers 3 \
  --log-dir /custom/logs \
  --hwaccel vaapi
```

## Monitoring and Diagnostics

### Check logs in real-time
```bash
# Watch successful encodes
tail -f /opt/Optmiser/logs/tv_movies.jsonl | jq '.'

# Check files logged for review (low savings)
tail -f /opt/Optmiser/logs/low_savings_skips.jsonl | jq '.'
```

### View statistics
```bash
# Count successful encodes
jq -r '.status' /opt/Optmiser/logs/tv_movies.jsonl | sort | uniq -c

# Average savings
jq -r '.savings' /opt/Optmiser/logs/tv_movies.jsonl | jq -s 'add/length'

# Files by VMAF target
jq -r '.vmaf' /opt/Optmiser/logs/tv_movies.jsonl | sort | uniq -c
```

### Check lock files (multi-machine coordination)
```bash
ls -la /opt/Optmiser/.lock/
```

---

## Troubleshooting

### Hardware encoding not working
```bash
# Check if hwaccel is detected
python3 optimize_library.py /media --hwaccel auto --help

# Verify ffmpeg supports hardware acceleration
ffmpeg -hwaccels

# Try specific hardware method
python3 optimize_library.py /media --hwaccel vaapi
```

### Plex refresh not working
```bash
# Test curl manually
curl -X GET http://localhost:32400/library/sections/1/refresh \
  -H "X-Plex-Token: YOUR_TOKEN"

# Check Plex token is valid
curl -X GET http://localhost:32400/library/sections \
  -H "X-Plex-Token: YOUR_TOKEN"
```

### Files being skipped (locked)
```bash
# Check for stale lock files
ls -la /opt/Optmiser/.lock/

# Remove stale locks (if no process is running)
rm /opt/Optmiser/.lock/*.lock
```
