Natalie 4a2ceb9781 feat(offline): inline star-to-keep and trash-to-cull on cache rows
Surface the existing pin (keep-from-cull) and per-file delete actions as
visible inline buttons on each offline cache row instead of context-menu-only:
a star toggles protection from auto-cull (and restore-if-missing), a trash
culls that file early. Aligns wording/icons to the star metaphor.

TVAnarchy

Native macOS app (SwiftUI) for the home media stack on plum, plus an iOS companion. Unifies what was previously CLI/MCP-only: pick a playback device (plum's VLC/QuickTime or the HDMI TV on black) and drive transport, browse a cached library, search and manage downloads, enrich metadata, and manage the device registry — all from one app.

Hybrid architecture: the control plane is native Swift (HTTP to VLC's Lua interface; mpv JSON-IPC over SSH to black — zero new runtime deps); the data-heavy plane reuses the vendored helper projects (mcp/, recommender/, search/) as subprocesses. See docs/ for the full picture and docs/roadmap.md for built-vs-designed status.

Build & dev loop

The easiest way is the ./run wrapper (see its usage and comments for all targets):

./run          # (or ./run dev) — stamp + xcodegen + Debug build + install + relaunch
./run test
./run clean
./run governor fleet status
./run mcp
./run bridge
./run typecheck
./run test:all
./run deploy
...

For manual / Xcode:

brew install xcodegen        # if not already present
xcodegen generate            # project.yml -> TVAnarchy.xcodeproj
xcodebuild -scheme TVAnarchy -destination 'platform=macOS' build
# or open TVAnarchy.xcodeproj in Xcode and Run

See docs/operations.md for full build/install/deploy flows, release cuts, and per-platform update.

TVAnarchy.xcodeproj is generated and git-ignored — project.yml is the source of truth.

Pillars (v2)

Watch · Download · Net — product organization and full repo correlation: v2/README.md.

Layout

  • Sources/TVAnarchyCore/ — framework: models, PlayerTarget protocol + impls, library/metadata/torrents/VPN subsystems, device registry.
  • Sources/TVAnarchy/ — SwiftUI macOS app (App, RootView, feature views: Home/Player/Library/Search/Downloads/Metadata/Adult/Devices/Logs/Settings).
  • Sources/TVAnarchyiOS/ — iOS companion (VLCKit player, library, downloads, remote control over an HTTP bridge).
  • Tests/TVAnarchyCoreTests/, Tests/TVAnarchyiOSUITests/ — unit + UI tests.
  • governor/, mcp/, recommender/, search/ — helper subsystems (own READMEs).
  • fleet/ — designed-only mesh layer; tools/ — release/update/stamping scripts; docs/ — cross-cutting documentation.

Playback devices

  • Plum VLC — HTTP to http://127.0.0.1:8080/requests/… (password from ~/.config/portable-net-tv/config.json or $VLC_HTTP_PASSWORD).
  • Black (mpv) — mpv JSON-IPC over SSH, endpoints LAN 10.0.0.11 → WG overlay 10.9.0.4 fallback (the LAN address flaps). Launch/library/stats are delegated to per-device command templates wrapping /usr/local/bin/black-tv (the legacy blacktv kind auto-migrates to this).
  • QuickTime — local, zero-install, AppleScript-driven.

Devices live in ~/.config/tv-anarchy/devices.json and are editable in the Devices tab.
