QbittorrentWidgetSource built a brand-new QbittorrentClient on every fetch,
logging in each time. With three qBittorrent widgets polling every 5-30s and
qBittorrent verifying passwords with slow PBKDF2 hashing, the concurrent login
load saturates its web thread pool and the reverse proxy returns 504 gateway
timeouts on /api/v2/auth/login. The client was already designed for reuse
(login once, SID cookie reuse, 403 re-login) — the source just wasn't using it.
Cache one QbittorrentClient per service (lru_cache keyed by service id, URL,
credentials, timeout) so the SID cookie persists across fetches and login
happens once. Mirrors dependencies._jellyfin_client_for. A credentials/URL
change produces a new cache key, so stale clients aren't reused after
reconfiguration.
Also surface 502/503/504 from the login as a clear "reverse proxy returned
HTTP <code> ... qBittorrent may be down/starting/overloaded" RuntimeError
instead of a bare HTTPError, so future gateway issues read as infrastructure,
not auth.
Tests: autouse fixture clears the client cache between tests; new gateway-error
login test. 385/385 backend tests pass; ruff clean.
Jellyfin: get_user_id() returned the configured user_id verbatim, so a
username like "admin" hit /Users/admin/Views and got HTTP 400 ("The value
'admin' is not valid."). The index worker already had username->Id
resolution, but the live API paths (dashboard counts, media query) did not.
Route all user-scoped paths through the new JellyfinClient.resolve_user_id()
(exact Id match -> Name match -> first user), cached per service/credentials
in get_user_id() so repeated requests don't re-list users. The worker is
simplified to call the same method.
qBittorrent: _login() raised "qBittorrent login failed: " (empty) on a 200
with an empty body, which happens when base_url doesn't reach the qBittorrent
login handler (wrong URL/path or a reverse proxy misroute) — not a credentials
issue. Now accepts the SID cookie as a success signal (reverse proxies that
mangle the body), returns a clear "invalid username or password" for "Fails.",
and surfaces a diagnostic error (HTTP status + body + base_url/proxy hint) for
any other/empty body.
Tests: new tests/test_jellyfin_client.py (5) + 3 qBittorrent login tests.
Full backend suite (384) passes; ruff clean.
Every HTTP client passed an integer timeout to requests, applying the same
value to BOTH connect and read phases. A slow Jellyfin /Items page or qBit
/sync/maindata blew through the 10s read budget → ReadTimeoutError. Split
into a (connect=5s, read=60s default) tuple via shared http_timeout() helper.
The media index build worker uses a 180s read floor. Existing services with
low timeout_seconds benefit from bumping to 60+.
