I haven't looked at the code yet, but some nitpicks. At the first glance it looks okay for LLM code.
How about not deduplicating, as this is a important information. Maybe something opens multiple streams of the same file, which can be a performance issue. Maybe it's just me, but I would love to monitor the download (from Usenet) and upload speed (over DAV to clients). |
Shows which files are currently being streamed in real time via WebSocket. Each entry displays the file name, a progress bar, downloaded/total size, and percentage. Multiple HTTP requests for the same file (range requests, seeking) are deduplicated using the DavItem ID with reference counting.

I think showing the upload/download speeds would be fun, but that info is not available right now and I don't think it should be added in this initial PR. We could add it in the future maybe? I removed the deduplication, as that makes total sense. |
WebDAV clients like Emby use range requests, closing and reopening connections as they buffer. Each new request registered as a fresh stream, resetting progress to 0%. The total file size was also misleading since only a range is being served, not the full file. Replaced the progress bar with bytes transferred and speed (bytes/sec), which is always meaningful regardless of how the client fetches data.

I have switched it to show the speed + downloaded. The progress bar/% does not make sense as it will start at % with every range Emby/Plex streams/buffers.

"Active Streams" felt right, but maybe it's wrong? It will disappear once it's fully downloaded, so it may be a bit confusing as the client (emby etc) may still be playing, but it's not showing in nzbdav.
I don't use Plex, so i cannot test if it works via that route. I assume it's very similar though?
