JakeBreath 01b9a6181a Probe real encoder output, order codecs by it, and add a quality slider
Your machine's H.264/HEVC encoders report support and then emit no video
samples at all, which no configure-time check can see. The optimizer now
test-encodes three frames per codec (cached for 30 days), shows the result
as diagnostics in the modal (AVC x / VP9 (hardware) / ...), feeds the
working codecs to the worker so Auto tries them first, and tells you to
switch to WebM when a container has no usable encoder.

Video quality is now a 10-100 slider with a predicted bitrate and size
for this clip (mirroring Mediabunny's mapping), which makes the trade-off
visible instead of guessing from presets.

J621

Self-hosted media library and e621 archive manager, rebuilt as a React SPA + Django REST API.

Structure

backend/    Django 6 + DRF API (SQLite in dev, MariaDB in production)
frontend/   Vite + React + TypeScript SPA

Development

Backend

cd backend
source venv/bin/activate
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py scan_files            # index the watched folder
python manage.py runserver

Copy .env.example to .env and set WATCHED_FOLDER before scanning.

Frontend

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev                            # http://localhost:5173, proxies /api to :8000

Production

Not wired up yet — planned: Nginx serving the SPA build, /media and /library media directly, and proxying /api to Waitress/Django. See frontend/ design docs for the UI specification.
