Refactor all item query methods to avoid untranslatable DistinctBy
in IQueryable expressions. Replace ApplyGroupingFilter with a
two-phase pattern: load IDs and grouping keys to memory, apply
grouping and paging in-memory, then reload full entities by ID.
Add ApplyGroupingInMemory<T> and ApplyPagingToIds helpers.
Use AsEnumerable() before DistinctBy in GetItemValues to force
client-side evaluation. Resolves InvalidOperationException on
/Items, /Items/Filters, /Users/{id}/Items/Latest, and /Studios
endpoints across all supported databases. See
EF_CORE_QUERY_TRANSLATION_FIX.md for details.
- Major query performance boost: replaced correlated subqueries with DistinctBy() in BaseItemRepository, added episode deduplication index, and increased default command timeout to 120s.
- Fixed LibraryMonitor shutdown race: added disposal checks and exception handling in FileRefresher to prevent ObjectDisposedException.
- Added PowerShell and SQL utilities for fixing Linux paths in config files and database; new scripts for WebDir and path migration.
- Auto-fix for WebDir in startup.json on load; new helper scripts and docs.
- Added automated weekly DB performance monitoring scripts and reporting.
- Expanded documentation and README for all fixes, scripts, and migration steps.
- Updated SQL scripts for index creation and diagnostics; improved output handling.
- Updated db-config defaults and added new diagnostic/report files.
Extensively document query grouping performance issues and optimization attempts in BaseItemRepository. Add guides on PostgreSQL UUID aggregation limitations, recommended indexes, increasing database timeouts, and monitoring query performance. Current code reverts to original (slow) implementation due to EF Core/Npgsql limitations, with detailed comments and references to new docs. Provides clear workarounds and upgrade path for future `.DistinctBy()` support.
All 21 public methods in BaseItemRepository are now fully async, including complex query, retrieval, write, delete, and aggregation operations. Added async signatures to IItemRepository and ILibraryManager with cancellation token support and ConfigureAwait(false). Sync wrappers retained for backward compatibility. Final conversion of GetLatestItemList and GetNextUpSeriesKeys completes Phase 3A. All bulk operations and aggregations are async, enabling concurrent dashboard loading and full PostgreSQL multiplexing. Migration routines fixed for Npgsql "command in progress" errors. Extensive documentation added for conversion process, performance, and testing. Project is now production-ready with zero build errors and 100% backward compatibility.
- Refactor migrations and provider to use multiple PostgreSQL schemas, each matching a legacy SQLite database (activitylog, authentication, displaypreferences, library, users).
- All tables, foreign keys, and indexes are now schema-qualified; Down migration drops tables by schema.
- Provider ensures schemas exist before migrations; entities are mapped to correct schemas in OnModelCreating.
- Add support for max-pool-size, min-pool-size, and multiplexing connection options; update logging accordingly.
- VACUUM ANALYZE now runs per schema during scheduled optimization.
- TruncateAllTablesAsync now truncates tables with schema qualification.
- README updated with schema structure, new options, and multiplexing warnings.
- CacheDecorator now calls async repository methods using .GetAwaiter().GetResult(), with documentation.
- Lays groundwork for full async/await and multiplexing support in the database layer.
Refactored all C# test files to use explicit namespace declarations and moved all using directives inside the namespace block for consistency. Updated assembly info and cache files to reflect the new build. Adjusted MvcTestingAppManifest.json to use fully qualified assembly names. No functional changes; all updates are related to code style, organization, and project metadata.
