Root cause: display-only cloud library filtering was reused by scan jobs, merged cloud mounts could be skipped, and OpenList listing relied on WebDAV/first-page behavior that could cap huge directories around 100 items. Cloud scans also let new items consume probe budget before existing rows with missing track/artwork metadata.\n\nChanges:\n- split display filtering from scannable cloud filtering so merged cloud mounts still scan\n- add OpenList API pagination with WebDAV fallback\n- prioritize existing cloud media missing metadata before new imports\n- restrict automatic cloud sync to one successful 19:00-21:00 daily window and keep manual scan immediate\n- disable startup cloud full-scan by default, with an explicit opt-in setting\n- improve Emby/cloud playback compatibility and cache/search/test coverage from the continued work
Add an admin toggle playback.direct_only that offloads all decoding to the
client. When enabled:
- Emby PlaybackInfo no longer advertises SupportsTranscoding nor a
TranscodingUrl, forcing Emby/Infuse/Yamby clients to direct play.
- HLS endpoints refuse (ErrTranscodeDisabled) so the host never spawns ffmpeg.
- Web player forces direct play, hides the HLS toggle, and surfaces a hint.
Exposed via /system/info (direct_play_only) and the Settings page.
