Dreu Lavelle contributed to the rivenmedia/riven repository by building and refining backend systems for media indexing, data integration, and API reliability. Over ten months, Dreu delivered features such as ID-based media identification, manual reindexing APIs, and enriched data endpoints, using Python and SQLAlchemy to ensure robust data modeling and validation. The work included upgrading to Python 3.13, improving CI/CD pipelines, and enhancing scraper accuracy with TMDB and TVDB integration. Dreu’s approach emphasized maintainability through dependency management, code refactoring, and detailed logging, resulting in a more stable, observable, and scalable backend that improved deployment safety and data quality.

Oct 1, 2025Month: 2025-10 — Monthly summary for riven project highlighting features delivered, bugs fixed, impact, and technical skills demonstrated. Key features delivered: - Media Item Identification and Scraper Accuracy Enhancements: Implemented ID-based media identification using TMDB IDs for movies and TVDB IDs for shows; improved scraper accuracy by prioritizing correct IDs; default the RTN scraper to the best ranking model to enhance reliability. - API Enhancements and Data Richness: Extended API to expose richer item data and calendar information, including IDs, TVDB IDs, titles, types, and air times. - Release Engineering and Dependencies: Prepared for major release with Python 3.13 upgrade, CI/CD improvements, and follow-on dependency updates to keep the project current and secure; finalized versioning to 1.0.0 and updated critical dependencies (RTN and Parsett). - Documentation and Data Layout Cleanup: Removed outdated ElfHosted docs and simplified season/episode directory naming for consistency. Major bugs fixed: - MediaItem Rating Attribute: Corrected attribute naming from self.rating to rating to ensure data consistency. - Calendar/API stability: Updated calendar endpoint and clarified explicit request flows to avoid indexing guesswork; migrated to stable ID-based scraping workflow (TVDB/TMDB) and defaulted to the best profile for scraping reliability. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Substantial improvements in data accuracy, reliability, and API richness; strengthened release readiness and maintenance posture; reduced data drift and improved developer experience for integrations. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python 3.13 adoption, modernized dependency management, CI/CD enhancements, API design and data modeling with IDs, and robust scraping practices.

May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for riven: Focused on reliability, security, and correctness of media metadata propagation and downstream integrations. Implemented refined anime detection and ensured is_anime attribute propagates to episode objects via Trakt API integration. Restricted elfhosted usage for Comet and Mediafusion with updated URLs to improve reliability. Updated core Python dependencies to address security and compatibility, and enhanced RealDebrid download reliability by increasing timeout to 25 seconds and adding ReadTimeout handling. These changes reduce misclassification, improve data integrity, strengthen deployment stability in elfhosted environments, and bolster security posture with up-to-date packages.
