The bounded-cache writeback wrapper (crate::io::Writer) was added in
0.17.10 and wired into Disc::sweep in 0.17.11, but the other two
paths in the crate that write large amounts of data sequentially —
Disc::patch and the MKV/M2TS mux — were still operating on raw
std::fs::File. That meant the dirty-page burst pathology the wrapper
exists to prevent could still bite on slow / network-attached staging
during recovery and mux phases.
This release plugs those gaps:
- Disc::patch (disc/mod.rs:1981) now wraps the reopened ISO in
Writer before any seek / write. sync_all on Writer cleanly drains
the in-flight chunk before the existing fsync.
- mux/resolve.rs MKV and M2TS branches wrap the output File in
Writer underneath BufWriter. UHD MKV mux routinely produces 70+ GB
of sequential output; the page cache no longer absorbs that as a
single hot blast on slow targets.
Mapfile, log, settings, history, and stream-pipeline byte buffers
remain unchanged: those are either small one-shot writes (where
the wrapper has zero benefit and adds a stream_position syscall) or
already use bounded persistence (mapfile time-batched in 0.17.12).
The principle: any path that writes substantial sequential data to
a single file uses Writer; trivial writes don't.
Audit pass against the CLAUDE.md "no English text in library code" rule.
Found 9 call sites that violated the contract by stuffing English into
io::Error::new(kind, "…") or by abusing Error::DeviceNotFound { path }
as a free-form description field. Each is now a typed Error variant.
New variants and codes: ScsiInterfaceUnavailable (E1004), DeviceLocked
(E1005), IoKitPluginFailed (E1006), UnsupportedPlatform (E2003),
PlatformNotImplemented (E2004), MapfileInvalid (E6011), DiscUrlNotDirect
(E9009).
labels::apply() previously pushed Commentary/Descriptive/Score/IME and
" (Secondary)" English literals into AudioStream.label, leaking into
MKV titles + autorip UI. AudioStream now exposes structured `purpose:
LabelPurpose`, SubtitleStream `qualifier: LabelQualifier`. Callers
translate to localized text. label keeps codec-formatting only.
API hygiene: 11 mux/* modules dropped from `pub` to `pub(crate)` —
their *types* are still re-exported from lib.rs, but the modules were
leaking low-level EBML/TS/network primitives. Stream trait gets a real
rustdoc explaining read-vs-write split. lib.rs grouped re-exports into
documented sections. ScanOptions::with_keydb() removed (one-method-per-
action rule); use struct literal.
Dead-code sweep: removed lookahead.rs (orphan, never declared as mod),
tsreader.rs (TsDemuxReader unused), ebml::{write_int,read_vint,SEEK_*},
ts::{scan_first/last_pts,scan_duration,SCAN_HEAD/TAIL_SIZE,take/set_
remainder}, MkvMuxer codec_private_slots/filled fields and
fill_codec_private method (deferred-codecPrivate path never used since
the v0.10 PES rewrite). cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean.
Tests: new error::tests for variant codes + Display "no English" guard +
io::ErrorKind mapping. 233 lib tests, all green (was 230).
Breaking: ScanOptions::with_keydb removed; mux/* modules pub(crate);
AudioStream and SubtitleStream gained required fields; UnsupportedDrive
{ product_revision: "Renesas not yet implemented" } no longer produced
(use PlatformNotImplemented).
A stream is a stream. DiscStream::new() takes reader + title + keys +
batch + format — same pattern as every other stream constructor.
Deleted: open_drive(), open_iso(), from_reader() — these were helper
functions that chained multiple operations. Library provides primitives,
callers decide the sequence.
Removed disc:// case from input() — callers use Drive::open() +
Disc::scan() + DiscStream::new() directly for disc sources.
Architecture:
- One stream per format, bidirectional PES (read/write on same type)
- IsoStream merged into DiscStream (one type, any SectorReader)
- Disc::copy() for disc→ISO raw sector dump
- IOStream trait deleted, all byte-level Read/Write removed
- ContentReader/OpenDisc/open_title/open_input/open_output deleted
- CountingStream wrapper for progress tracking
Error codes:
- All io::Error English strings replaced with Error enum variants
- From<Error> for io::Error conversion
- Unused variants removed, new stream/mux variants added
Deleted: mkvout.rs, pesout.rs, isowriter.rs, mkv-muxer-plan.md
Updated: all docs, README stream table, CHANGELOG
238 tests, 0 clippy warnings.
Design fix: codec_privates are now a field on DiscTitle, not a separate
parameter passed through the pipeline. This eliminates the root cause of
the network codec_private bug (forgot to pass the separate param).
API changes:
- output() takes (url, &DiscTitle) — no separate codec_privates param
- MkvOutputStream::create, M2tsOutputStream::create, NetworkOutputStream::connect
all read codec_privates from title.codec_privates
- M2tsMeta::from_title() takes only &DiscTitle — reads privates from title
- Deleted from_title_with_privates (was the wrong-name duplicate)
- Merged read_header + read_header_from_stream into one read_header(impl Read)
- Deleted finish(self) from TsMuxer, keep only finish(&mut self)
Rule: ONE public method per action. No _with_X, _from_Y, _ref variants.
Bug 1: M2TS roundtrip dropped frames — TsMuxer converts length-prefixed
NALs to Annex B, prepends VPS/SPS/PPS from HEVCDecoderConfigurationRecord.
Bug 2: MKV remux lost codec_private — MkvStream.codec_private() now returns
data from EBML header.
FMKV header carries codec_private (base64) per video stream for lossless
M2TS roundtrip.
- Remove IOStream, Read, Write impls from NetworkStream
- PES write sends FMKV header before first frame (protocol fix)
- PES finish sends TCP shutdown for clean EOF
- Update tests to use PES roundtrip instead of byte-level

- StdioStream: Stream impl with PES serialize/deserialize
- MkvStream: Stream read returns PesFrame from EBML blocks
- M2tsStream: Stream read via TsDemuxReader
- PesFrame: serialize/deserialize for wire format
- TsDemuxReader: shared BD-TS demux helper
- All inputs and outputs support PES
- Unified Stream trait: read() and write() on one type
- PesFrame serialize/deserialize for wire format
- TsDemuxReader: shared BD-TS demux for any Read source
- MkvStream: PES read from MKV (EBML → PesFrame)
- M2tsStream: PES read via TsDemuxReader
- Network/Stdio output: PES serialization directly (no BD-TS wrap)
- Network/Stdio input: deferred (needs PES deserialization protocol)
- TsMuxer for M2TS output from PES frames
- input() and output() functions return Box<dyn Stream>
Stream trait: read() returns PesFrame, write() accepts PesFrame.
A stream is a stream — you read from it or write to it.
No separate Input/Output traits.
API: libfreemkv::input(url) and libfreemkv::output(url, title, codecs)
Returns Box<dyn Stream>.
- TsMuxer: PES frames → BD-TS packets (new, reverse of TsDemuxer)
- M2tsOutputStream: PES → TsMuxer → file
- NetworkOutputStream: PES → TsMuxer → TCP
- StdioOutputStream: PES frames → stdout
- NullOutputStream: discard
- MkvOutputStream: PES → MKV mux
- All outputs via open_pes_output()
- All inputs via open_pes_input() (ISO, disc)
- No byte-level fallback — everything is PES
- Rename DriveSession → Drive across entire codebase
- find_drives() returns Vec<Drive>, find_drive() returns Option<Drive>
- resolve_device() now pub(crate) — internal only
- StreamUrl is now a typed enum (Disc, Mkv, M2ts, Iso, Network, Stdio, Null)
with scheme() and path_str() accessors, replacing struct of Strings
- Add lock_tray() / unlock_tray() for safe disc access during rips
- Improve reset() with eject cycle that clears LibreDrive stuck state

- Strict scheme:// URL format with validation
- Labels module refactored to SectorReader
- 7 stream types total
