• ✅ Blacklist functionality correctly persists data using JSON file storage with proper file handling at lib/blacklist.py:15-16

Observations

Impact

[CRITICAL] plugin.video.piped/lib/blacklist.py (31): Bare except clause silently suppresses all exceptions including system exits
Bare except: at lib/blacklist.py:31 catches all exceptions including KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit, which can mask critical errors and make the application unresponsive. When the blacklist file is corrupted or unreadable, this silently returns an empty dict without logging, making debugging impossible.

[MAJOR] plugin.video.piped/lib/blacklist.py (50): KeyError on missing channel_id
At lib/blacklist.py:50, accessing blacklist[channel_id]['name'] when prompt=True will raise KeyError if the channel_id doesn't exist in the blacklist. The check if channel_id in blacklist only occurs after this line, so calling blacklist_remove(non_existent_id, prompt=True) will crash.

[MAJOR] plugin.video.piped/lib/sections.py (222): Unhandled regex compilation errors
At lib/sections.py:222, compiling user-provided regex with re.compile(rf"{blacklist_titles_regex_str}", ...) can raise re.error if the user enters invalid regex syntax. This exception is unhandled and will crash the video listing function, preventing any videos from displaying.
