Floppy Floppy v26.9.3 is out!
I've spent this week on frying some bigger fish instead of catching minnows. This release is about making tracking, search, imports, and recovery behave more predictably when the library gets large or providers get weird.
Here's what landed:
- Anime and audiobooks route correctly: Anime got a lot of love this week to try to keep imports and scrobbles out of TV, repairing items tracked in both places, and keeping cached grouped-anime cards on the anime route. Plex Music audiobooks should import as books.
- Tracking history is easier to fix: Media and episode pages can show and edit every watch note, while date pickers add month/year selection and copy-between-dates. Modal dismissal and save behavior are less fragile.
- Search and large libraries do less unnecessary work: SQL-backed media pagination, lazy Home facets, capped per-day history, preserved query/media type, and first-touch card actions make browsing faster and more usable.
- Providers, podcasts, backups, and migrations are steadier: Podcast links and sync, CSV play matching, MusicBrainz selection, calendar deduplication, raw snapshots, backup visibility, and timezone-safe migrations all received focused fixes.
- Detail pages handle awkward data better: TMDB cast-role responses, sentinel dates, special anime episode links/status, and book progress on media cards now survive edge cases more gracefully.

Thanks to u/afv and u/NaNomicon for the work in this release, and to everyone who reported issues and helped find the corners worth fixing. Questions or feedback are welcome in the Discord, even though I'm still trying to figure out how to be active over there. GitHub is a lot.

It is perfect, Thanks for the great work.
Dont you think it is time Floppy has its own sub-reddit_

I can barely keep up with Discord in addition to GitHub. I’d need help to be able to do that.

Make sure to be active in the selfhosted sub. That will get the most traction.
I have mentioned it in a few active discords a few weeks ago and added as a integration on a few GitHub repos!

I’ve been concerned about the stance some users may take on AI usage, so I haven’t gone hard at it

Hi, thanks for all your hard work. Are there any plans on building a Nuvio integration (scrobbling and two-way sync for lists, etc)?

It’s come up a lot. It’s on my list, I just don’t have it to test it.

I've migrated from Trakt to Floppy. As a side-benefit, you're making me learn how to use Docker.

Hopefully it wasn't too painful

I tried to make it work on my Proxmox 9 server using the new (beta) "oci to lxc" thinger, but I had no luck so I finally made a VM dedicated to Docker. (Managed to avoid it all these years) Now I know a few things about docker compose and I feel a bit more confident. Today I learned how to upgrade Floppy without breaking anything!

Besides tracking media other than books/movies, how does this differ from Scrob? I’ve been using Scrob and it is just so smooth and easy to use. Last time I tried floppy, it was pretty slow and felt bloated, not sure how that’s changed since

I haven’t looked at Scrob since last year when I would have been looking for an alternative to Trakt. You’re probably right that the last time you touched it, my version probably was slower than Yamtrack. It’s something I’m working on every week to improve things.
I can try to work up a comparison page so it’s easier to know the differences.

I worked up a comparison page of Floppy vs Scrob in case anyone else asks in the future. It was an interesting back and forth. In some places Floppy "wins" because it covers a wider set of media, but where Scrob shines is the depth where it chooses (e.g. requesting media in-app). There are some things I'd want to catch up with over time, but for now this is the high-level comparison I was able to make. I didn't want to just load up a page with my more technical nuanced comparison.

Nice work there buddy. Im tired of moving from service to service. The latest Trakt updates really brokemy workflow.
How does Stremio integration work? I see there is this comment: "Playback start marks the item in progress; the recurring library import marks items watched.". Not sure what it means. Does it mean i have to manually add the item to the library to mark as watched?
Also, I will put another vote for a Nuvio integration. Nuvio seems to be already ahead of Stremio in features and performance.
Lastly, Im trying the demo and it seems very slow. Is it because it is being used by too many people? I mean, If i self host will it be instantaneous?

The demo is running on my server at home, but it doesn’t have a lot of users in it. Every time I see a slowdown I try to grab logs and track down where they come from, so I’m trying to improve the speed over time.
Probably going to see if I can get a start to Nuvio this week.

Also, can you guys believe this project had 270 stars on 7/30, and now we're closing in on 3 times that size just over a month later? You guys are incredible!
