Problem

Related issue: N/A
Validation tasks: none

Marker provider plugins learn which episode to look up only from the series IDs and the host's season and episode numbers. TheIntroDB's API v4 reads those numbers in the numbering of the ID a request names: TVDB's order for a TVDB ID, TMDB's numbering for a TMDB ID. A plugin cannot tell which provider's numbering an episode follows, so where TMDB and TVDB number a series differently, lookups and contributions can address the wrong episode.

Silo cannot answer that from the episode's IDs alone. Episode rows merge metadata providers' episodes by number, so a row in a default library carries both a TMDB and a TVDB episode ID while following the numbering of whichever provider leads the library's episode chain (TVDB by default).

Approach

FetchMarkersRequest and SubmitMarkerRequest gain three fields:

  • episode_external_ids (7 and 10): the IDs of the provider episode records the host matched at those numbers.
  • episode_title (8 and 11): in the library's metadata language.
  • episode_numbering (9 and 12): the external ID key, tvdb or tmdb, of the provider whose numbering the episode follows. It is empty when the host cannot tell.

docs/compatibility.md lists episode_numbering as an open vocabulary: a plugin treats a value it does not recognize like an empty one.

The change is additive. Hosts that predate it leave the fields empty, and older plugins ignore them. Silo-Server/silo-server#2651 fills the fields and Silo-Server/silo-plugin-markers-theintrodb#11 uses them. Both pin this branch by pseudo-version until it is tagged; this needs a minor release (v0.28.0) after merge.

Validation

  • go test ./..., go vet ./..., and the four example builds pass.
  • buf generate changes only marker_provider.pb.go.
  • gofmt -l . lists pkg/pluginsdk/runtime/scan_source_test.go, which predates this change.
  • Contract tests pin the field numbers, decode a payload from an older host with empty episode fields, and round-trip the new fields.
  • In a sandbox server built with both downstream pull requests, the plugin received all three fields.
    • It addressed TheIntroDB by TVDB when the library listed TVDB first, and by TMDB after TMDB was moved ahead.

Evidence

Evidence: none, no user-visible change

Risks

Additive protobuf change. The server and plugin pull requests must move from the pseudo-version to the release tag before they merge.

  • Involvement: Fully AI-generated, directed by a maintainer; human verification happens in review
  • Adversarial review:
    • Separate Claude Code review agents (claude-opus-5-5) checked the SDK, server, and plugin diffs against TheIntroDB's v4 OpenAPI spec, its official npm client, and Silo's metadata merge. One of them also checked against live API requests.
    • They found that a default library leads its episode chain with TVDB, so the episode IDs alone could not show which numbering a row follows.
    • That finding added episode_numbering, and the field comments now say IDs are matched by number.

…r providers

FetchMarkersRequest and SubmitMarkerRequest gain episode_external_ids and
episode_title. A marker provider such as TheIntroDB v4 reads season and
episode numbers in the numbering of the ID it receives, so it needs to know
which providers matched the host's episode at those numbers. Older hosts
leave the fields empty and older plugins ignore them.

📝 Walkthrough

Marker fetch and submit requests now include episode external IDs, an episode title, and a numbering source. Compatibility guidance describes accepted numbering values. Tests verify field numbers and protobuf serialization behavior.

Changes: Marker request episode identity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Request fields and serialization
proto/silo/plugin/v1/marker_provider.proto, pkg/pluginproto/silo/plugin/v1/marker_provider_test.go, docs/compatibility.md
Adds episode external IDs, title, and numbering source to fetch and submit requests. Comments describe episode identity and numbering. Tests check field numbers, decoding without episode identity, and submit request round trips. Compatibility guidance describes numbering values.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: rhainland

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3b155

The new numbering-source field is defined and documented, but the companion server does not send it and the plugin does not read it. For episodes with both TVDB and TMDB IDs that follow TVDB numbering, markers can still be fetched or submitted for the wrong episode. Align the server and plugin with this field, or settle the contract, before releasing.

FetchMarkersRequest and SubmitMarkerRequest gain episode_numbering: the
external ID key ("tvdb" or "tmdb") of the provider whose numbering the
episode follows. Hosts match each metadata provider's episodes by number
alone, so an episode row usually carries both TMDB and TVDB IDs and a
plugin cannot tell from the IDs which numbering applies. The field is an
open vocabulary; an unknown value reads as empty.

Populate and consume episode_numbering in the related changes.

The related server sets episode IDs and titles but leaves EpisodeNumbering empty in both marker requests. The related TheIntroDB plugin selects a provider without reading this field. If an episode has both TVDB and TMDB IDs but follows TVDB numbering, the plugin can still address the wrong episode. Update the host and plugin together so the numbering source determines which provider ID the plugin uses. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
