* fix(jellyfin): stream playlist tracks instead of loading every one PR #5783 left the playlist paths materializing: all three loaded every track of a playlist, whatever the client asked for. A playlist can be the whole library — a smart playlist matching everything — so this is the same OOM class that PR fixed for the other collections. Measured on a 96k-track smart playlist, /Items?ParentId=<playlist>&Limit=10 peaked at 1.3GB to return ten tracks. Playlist tracks now stream from a cursor, like every other collection: - PlaylistTrackRepository gains GetCursor and CountAll, sharing the select builder with loadTracks so cursor rows hydrate identically, plus GetMediaFileIDs for callers that need every id but no track data. - playlists.Tracks(ctx, id) exposes that repo to the HTTP layer with visibility enforced, returning ErrNotFound rather than the repo's nil-and-log-a-warning (which /Items would hit on every album browse, since ParentId is usually not a playlist). - /Playlists/{id}/Items now honors StartIndex/Limit, which it silently ignored before — it always returned the whole playlist. Real Jellyfin pages it. - getPlaylist runs an id-only query: PlaylistInfo carries every track id so it can't be paged, but it no longer hydrates rows it discards. - The route joins the throttled group, as it's now cursor-backed. Measured against a copy of a 96k-track production DB, peak RSS over idle, with byte-for-byte identical responses on every endpoint: /Items?ParentId=<pl>&Limit=10 1275MB -> 1MB 8.8s -> 3.6s (0.27s warm) /Items?ParentId=<pl> unbounded 1353MB -> 8MB 8.7s -> 3.4s /Playlists/<pl>/Items 1217MB -> 7MB 8.8s -> 3.4s /Playlists/<pl> 1178MB -> 33MB 9.1s -> 3.8s TotalRecordCount now costs a count query where the old path got it from len(tracks): 6ms on the largest real playlist in that library (2638 tracks), 288ms on the synthetic all-96k one. The old path paid 1.3GB and 4s+ instead. * fix(jellyfin): bound unbounded /Items searches The other collections stream, so an unbounded one costs about one item of memory. Search can't: the repositories' Search returns a slice, so it materializes every match. PR #5783 left two ways to reach that. A whitespace-only SearchTerm was the first. " " != "", so it took the search path, where doSearch trims it back to empty and hits its "empty query, return everything in natural order" branch — with no LIMIT, since executeTwoPhase only applies one when Max > 0. The whole library, materialized. Trimming at the two parse sites makes the `search != ""` checks mean what they look like they mean: a blank term is not a search, so it takes the unfiltered streaming path, which still returns everything, exactly as real Jellyfin does for an empty term. A real search with no Limit was the second, and needs an actual bound. Search gets a default of 100 when the client sends no Limit — matching the DefaultSearchLimit in Jellyfin's unreleased SqlSearchProvider — plus a ceiling, without which Limit=999999 would still materialize the library. The default alone wouldn't have closed the hole. An explicit Limit under the ceiling is honored unclamped, as upstream does; truncating a search is safe in a way truncating /Items is not, since nothing syncs a library through searchTerm. Note this is upstream's own bug: v10.11's /Search/Hints returns the entire library for a whitespace-only term, which master fixed by switching to ThrowIfNullOrWhiteSpace. * fix(jellyfin): cap the search Limit the client asked for, not the merge window searchPage sees two different things in opts.Max: the client's Limit for a single-type query, and mergeTypes' internal offset+limit window for a multi-type one. Clamping there hit both, so a multi-type search paging past the ceiling fetched only `ceiling` rows of the first type and the merged page skipped into the next one — IncludeItemTypes=Audio,MusicAlbum&SearchTerm=song&StartIndex=2000 &Limit=1 returned an album instead of the 2001st song. The ceiling now applies where the client's Limit is read: queryItems (after the playlist branch, so a playlist parent's page isn't capped by a stray SearchTerm) and getArtists, which reads its own. A limit of 0 stays 0, keeping searchPage's default. What a deep page materializes is then bounded by the client's StartIndex, as it already was for any multi-type query, search or not. Also from review: the playlist-track mock reused the previously stored Options when called without any, so a later no-args call inherited stale paging. * fix(jellyfin): apply the search default to the client's Limit, not per type The default lived in searchPage, which runs per type and after mergeTypes has already picked its branch. So an unbounded multi-type search left q.limit at 0, mergeTypes took its chained branch, and StartIndex was applied to a list each type had already truncated to the default — dropping matches rather than paging them. With 200 matching songs, IncludeItemTypes=Audio,MusicAlbum&SearchTerm=song &StartIndex=150 returned nothing at all, and without StartIndex it returned the default per type instead of in total. clampSearchLimit now applies the default and the ceiling together, to the client's Limit, at the two places it's read (queryItems and getArtists). A search therefore always gives mergeTypes a real window, so it pages the merged result and cuts it once, at the end. * fix(jellyfin): bound the multi-type search window against StartIndex mergeTypes asks each type for offset+limit rows before paginating the merged list, so a search still materialized whatever StartIndex asked for: IncludeItemTypes=Audio,MusicAlbum&SearchTerm=x&StartIndex=500000&Limit=1 pulled ~500001 matches per type. Bounding the window alone isn't enough — below it the merged rows are the client's page, but at it a truncated type is followed by the next one's rows, which is what made a clamped window serve an album where the 2001st song belonged. So the window is capped at maxSearchLimit and the page is clipped to it: pages below the ceiling are served in full and unchanged, a page straddling it is cut at it, and past it the result is empty rather than another type's rows. The total reports what can actually be paged to, so a client stops instead of asking for pages that no longer exist. This is the merge's own limit, not the client's: a single-type search still pages as deep as it likes, since its offset goes to SQL. Non-search multi-type queries keep the unbounded offset+limit window, which predates this and wants the same treatment via CountAll (exact per-type totals let whole types be skipped) rather than a cap. * fix(jellyfin): advertise the pageable search total, not the page window Clipping the multi-type search total to `window` clipped it to StartIndex+Limit on an ordinary page, so a first page of Limit=10 reported TotalRecordCount 10 however many matches there were, and a client paging on the total stopped after one page. The cap belongs at the ceiling — what can be paged to overall — not at the current page. The tests missed it because the only one asserting a total used StartIndex=maxSearchLimit, where the window happens to equal the ceiling. * refactor(jellyfin): fold the search clamp into clampLimit and simplify mergeTypes Cleanup pass over the branch, no behaviour change: - clampSearchLimit was clampLimit (similar.go) with different constants, so the latter takes the default and ceiling as arguments and both call it. Similar's default moves out of three IntOr calls into defaultSimilarLimit. - mergeTypes derived a second `limit` and needed an early return for the empty page, only because paginate reads 0 as "unbounded". Clipping the merged slice to the window instead lets q.limit be passed straight through: window is min(offset+limit, ceiling), so clipping there is the same cut. - playlistTracks returned (result, handled, error) where handled=false always meant error=nil. Splitting the lookup out gives playlistTracksRepo returning (repo, ok), and the nilerr suppression goes with it. - The comment on playlists.Tracks blamed the log warning for its extra Get; the reason is that PlaylistRepository.Tracks discards the error behind a nil. Also drops a stale reference to a renamed variable.
