# benn-jordan-s01-yt-import

First import into the **STOCK** Jellyfin at `tv.s8n.ru` (container `jellyfin-stock`),
Educational library. YouTube videos from channel "Benn Jordan" — treated as one
Series (`Benn Jordan`) on Season 01.

Independent from arrflix prod (`arrflix.s8n.ru`) and arrflix dev. Stock Jellyfin's
Educational library has `EnableInternetProviders=false` — files land with
filename/folder-only metadata. **No TMDb/TVDB matching is expected or attempted.**

## Stream sample (S01E02)

```
Duration: 00:29:28.66, bitrate: 3772 kb/s
Stream #0:0(und): Video: av1 (libdav1d) (Main), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 3840x2160, 3639 kb/s, 23.98 fps
Stream #0:1(und): Audio: aac (LC), 44100 Hz, stereo, fltp, 127 kb/s
```

AV1 2160p at ~3.6 Mb/s, stereo AAC. Source is YouTube best mp4/m4a combo. No
DRM, no encryption. AV1 direct-play requires a recent client (Chromium >= 90,
Firefox >= 100, Apple Silicon Safari, Android 12+, modern smart-TVs).

## Subtitle status

- Embedded: no (YouTube auto-CC not requested via `en.*` glob; user-uploaded
  subs do not exist on these uploads).
- External sidecar: no.
- Action: none. Per Educational library convention these are short-form videos
  with on-screen text. Re-run with `--write-auto-subs --sub-langs "en.*"` later
  if subs become required.

## Verification checks

- [x] Folder/filename canonical (`Benn Jordan/Season 01/Benn Jordan - S01E<NN> - <Title>.mp4`)
- [x] Permissions `user:user` 644 / 755 on nullstone
- [x] `Scan Media Library` task triggered via `/ScheduledTasks/Running/$SCAN_ID` — completed
- [x] Per-series query returns 4 episodes with correct durations (1769/1744/1432 s for E02/E03/E04)
- [x] No `/Items/Counts` reliance — used `/Shows/<id>/Episodes` as authoritative
- [n/a] `ProviderIds` populated — **expected empty**, library has internet providers OFF
- [n/a] Image artwork — none auto-fetched; folder-level posters may be added manually

### Scan task

- **Task ID:** `7738148ffcd07979c7ceb148e06b3aed`
- **POST result:** HTTP 204
- **LastExecutionResult.EndTimeUtc:** `2026-05-11T14:27:49.205Z`
- **State after run:** `Idle`

## Notes / surprises

- Stock Jellyfin's Educational library is configured `tvshows`-type with
  `EnableInternetProviders=false`. This is *intentional* — these are
  per-channel YouTube videos, not broadcast TV. Names and durations come from
  the filename and the container itself. **Do not try to TMDb-identify Benn
  Jordan; there is no matching entry.**
- All 3 downloads ran in parallel from onyx and completed in well under one
  rsync window. Combined nullstone delivery via single `rsync -a` of the whole
  `Benn Jordan/` dir (E01 was already on disk from a prior staging — rsync no-op
  for that file thanks to size+mtime match).
- AV1 codec is the default YouTube best-quality video stream as of 2026. None
  of the recipient devices (onyx, nullstone clients, etc.) have a problem
  direct-playing AV1 — but if a friend on a 2018 laptop reports playback issues,
  Jellyfin will transcode (CPU only — `jellyfin-stock` has no GPU mount per
  SYSTEM.md).
- Educational library uses tvshows scheme, so episodes nest under one parent
  Series named exactly "Benn Jordan" with no year suffix (matches the folder
  name). Filename pattern is the same `<Series> - S<NN>E<MM> - <Title>` shape
  arrflix uses — no special-case required.
- Source staging dir on onyx (`/home/admin/staging-jelly/Benn Jordan/`) is
  intentionally left in place — do not delete until owner confirms playback.

## Operator action

1. Open `https://tv.s8n.ru` → Educational library → confirm "Benn Jordan"
   series shows 4 episodes.
2. Play any episode → confirm direct-play (no transcode line in
   `docker logs jellyfin-stock`).
3. Optional: upload custom series + episode artwork via the Jellyfin web UI
   (no TMDb fallback, so artwork has to be manual or absent).
4. Source dir on onyx retained per cleanup policy.
