v7.8.3 Clearer temporary download restrictions

Prevents repeated requests for a temporarily rate-limited file and explains when to retry.

Downloads

  • Respects file-transfer retry notices and prevents simultaneous duplicate requests for the same file.
  • Shows a wait message instead of an immediate retry button during a file cooldown. Other files can remain available.

v7.8.2 More reliable downloads and source coverage

Reuses validated download metadata during temporary API restrictions and makes source monitoring more complete.

Downloads

  • Reuses catalogue and size metadata for download links while retaining file type, size and image-dimension checks.
  • Coordinates catalogue and encyclopedia API requests and respects longer retry notices without discarding cached content.

Services

  • Uses validated cached currency rates for conversions.
  • Coordinates football refreshes and retains cached fixtures during temporary restrictions.

Portal status

  • Registers configured feeds, the football fallback and supported encyclopedia languages.
  • Separates file-transfer results from catalogue API checks and keeps genuinely unknown integrations visible.

v7.8.1 Fallback-aware homepage availability

Keeps the homepage availability indicator working when a compatible fallback has recently delivered the affected feature.

Portal status

  • Preserves individual source failures on the detailed status page while using operation-specific fallback recovery for the homepage indicator.
  • Keeps status dots beside wrapped indicator text and explains when an automatic request is blocked.
  • Avoids incorrectly flagging a normal player page as restricted merely because an inline script mentions challenge handling.
  • Keeps blocked, inconclusive and endpoint-only checks out of overall service health; their limitations remain visible in the detailed source cards.

v7.8.0 Clearer automatic source checks

Separates recent request results, on-demand operations and player endpoint checks so idle sources are easier to understand.

Portal status

  • Adds bounded automatic sample checks for weather city lookup, forecasts and football data, using the existing maintenance budget.
  • Distinguishes optional sources that are not configured from invalid settings and failed requests.
  • Shows player endpoint responses separately from playback, without presenting page availability as proof that a video plays.
  • Keeps historical request failures visible and expires old positive evidence without consuming extra YouTube quota.

v7.7.9 Accurate integration coverage notices

Prevents old untimestamped HTTP counters from appearing as a current gap in source monitoring.

Portal status

  • Shows the incomplete-coverage notice only when an unregistered integration has recent, valid check evidence.
  • Keeps warnings for genuinely recent unknown sources without changing provider health or deleting historical counters.
