The Complete Chronology runs all of it as one list, 1963 to now, from the
same files, with the spin-offs and extras placed where their stories fall.
Every special, minisode and prequel sits inside its season where its story
belongs, so the story runs straight through. One released years later still
sits beside the episode it goes with, and shows its real release date. Each
episode has a still and a hand-written summary, and nearly all have English
subtitles, the disc's own wherever the disc has them.
The 3 that do not play are missing for good: two New Who minisodes, and the
Classic Who sketch A Fix with Sontarans, which the BBC has never repeated or
released.
The thirteen Series 2 Tardisodes survive only as fan copies. They play from an AI
upscale of those, and each is titled with "(Upscaled)" to say so.
The addon lists every episode, the three missing ones included, with nothing
to play for those. The website shows the completion figure for each series.
How it is built
The files live in a Backblaze B2 bucket behind Cloudflare, at
cdn.nubblyn.com. The addon is a Vercel serverless function plus a static
landing page. Everything the addon hands to a client comes from that
bucket: posters, backgrounds, logos, stills and subtitles. Nothing is fetched
from a third party at request time.
The catalogue itself is the ledger in ledger/, one TSV per series, shown at
https://whoniverse.nubblyn.com/ledger. Video ids are the addon's own
(whoniverse_new_who:1:1), so other addons do not answer for its episodes and
watch history stays with this catalogue.
docs/architecture.md describes every part, the
repository layout, what builds what and each script.
Running it locally
npm install
npm start
Then open http://127.0.0.1:7000/ for the landing page and
http://127.0.0.1:7000/manifest.json for the addon.
