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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
