# Library Cluster Feature - Executive Summary
|
|
|
|
## 📌 Quick Overview
|
|
|
|
The **Library Cluster** feature enables users to logically group multiple libraries that contain similar content, providing better organization and unified access to media spread across different mount points.
|
|
|
|
## 🎯 Why This Feature?
|
|
|
|
### Current Pain Points
|
|
1. Users with 10+ libraries struggle to navigate
|
|
2. Related content scattered across different mount points
|
|
3. No way to view similar libraries together
|
|
4. Difficult to organize by content category
|
|
|
|
### Solution
|
|
Group related libraries into **clusters** (e.g., "Movies", "Anime", "TV Shows") and access them as a unified collection.
|
|
|

## 🎨 User Experience
|
|
|
|
### Creating a Cluster (30 seconds)
|
|
1. Go to Settings
|
|
2. Click "Create Cluster"
|
|
3. Enter name (e.g., "Anime")
|
|
4. Choose color and icon
|
|
5. Assign libraries
|
|
6. Done!
|
|
|
|
### Using a Cluster (3 clicks)
|
|

|
|
2. View unified media grid
|
|
3. Play/browse as normal
|
|
|
|
### Example Use Case
|
|
**User has**:
|
|
- `/mnt/nas1/anime` (500 videos)
|
|
- `/mnt/nas2/anime` (300 videos)
|
|
- `/mnt/external/anime-movies` (200 videos)
|
|
|
|
**Creates cluster**: "Anime Collection"
|
|
- **Result**: View all 1000 anime videos in one unified grid
|
|
|
|
## 🔑 Key Design Decisions
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Many-to-Many Relationship
|
|
- **Decision**: Libraries can belong to multiple clusters
|
|
- **Rationale**: Maximum flexibility for users
|
|
- **Example**: A library can be in both "Movies" and "4K Content" clusters
|
|
|
|
### ✅ No File System Changes
|
|
- **Decision**: Clusters are database-only
|
|
- **Rationale**: Safe, fast, reversible
|
|
- **Benefit**: No risk to actual media files
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Color & Icon Customization
|
|
- **Decision**: Users choose visual identity
|
|
- **Rationale**: Better UX, easier navigation
|
|
- **Implementation**: Predefined palettes for consistency
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Reuse Existing Components
|
|
- **Decision**: Use existing virtualized grids
|
|
- **Rationale**: Faster development, consistent UX
|
|
- **Benefit**: Proven performance
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Pagination by Default
|
|
- **Decision**: All cluster queries paginated
|
|
- **Rationale**: Performance with large datasets
|
|
- **Implementation**: Limit/offset with 50 items default
|
|
|
|
## ❓ FAQs
|
|
|
|
### Q: Will this affect my existing libraries?
|
|
**A**: No, clusters are purely organizational. Your libraries remain unchanged.
|
|
|
|
### Q: Can a library be in multiple clusters?
|
|
**A**: Yes! Libraries can belong to as many clusters as you want.
|
|
|
|
### Q: What happens when I delete a cluster?
|
|
**A**: Only the cluster and its mappings are deleted. Libraries and media are untouched.
|
|
|
|
### Q: How many libraries can be in a cluster?
|
|
**A**: No hard limit, but performance is optimized for 1-20 libraries per cluster.
|
|
|
|
### Q: Can I rename a cluster?
|
|
**A**: Yes, clusters are fully editable (name, description, color, icon).
|
|
|
|
### Q: Will scanning still work?
|
|
**A**: Yes, scanning works exactly as before. Clusters don't affect scanning.
|
|
|
|
### Q: Can I filter cluster content by library?
|
|
**A**: Yes, the cluster view shows which library each item comes from.
|
|
|
|
### Q: What about performance with large clusters?
|
|
**A**: Optimized with database indexes, pagination, and virtual scrolling. Tested with 10,000+ items.

|
3. Frontend deployed with cluster features (opt-in)
|
|
4. Users gradually adopt at their pace
|
|
|
|
### Rollback Plan
|
|
- New tables can be dropped without affecting existing features
|
|
- No data loss if rollback needed
|
|
- Feature can be disabled via feature flag
