A torrent-first (or usenet-first) hybrid download would freeze at
"Torrent searching for release 0%" and never move to the next source when
Prowlarr returned no results for the album. Reported by Cezar:
[Album Bundle] torrent flow failed for '...': No torrent results found
Cause: the album-bundle dispatch only returns to the per-track flow (which,
in hybrid mode, tries the next configured source) when the plugin's failure
outcome carries fallback=True; otherwise it marks the batch failed and stops.
Both plugins set fallback=True on their 'results found but none matched the
album' branch, but the adjacent 'no results at all' branch set only an error
and no fallback flag -- so zero results hard-failed while wrong results fell
back. Backwards, and soulseek's plugin already defaults fallback=True for
exactly this reason.
Fix: set fallback=True on the no-results branch in torrent.py and usenet.py.
The dispatch's fallback handling (return False -> per-track flow) was already
correct and is unchanged.
The only consumer of download_album_to_staging is the dispatch, which reads
the result via .get('fallback'), so the change is additive and locally
contained.
Tests: new test_torrent_album_to_staging_no_results_flags_fallback and
test_usenet_album_to_staging_no_results_flags_fallback assert the plugins now
emit fallback=True on an empty search; the existing torrent no-results test is
extended with the same assertion. Existing dispatch tests already pin
fallback=True -> per-track flow. Full downloads/plugins/adapters sweep: 690
passed.
Review caught that artist_name was added to pick_best_album_release's signature
and threaded through both call sites but never actually used — dead, misleading
code. Removed it from the helper + both callers. Artist-aware gating would be a
deliberate future feature (titles carry the artist inconsistently, so a hard
artist gate would risk the same false-negative class I just fixed); the album
relevance gate already resolves the reported wrong-release bug. No behavior
change. 127 plugin tests pass; compile + ruff clean.
Reporter (IamGroot60): requesting an album via a Prowlarr-backed source
(Usenet/Torrent) could download a DIFFERENT album — e.g. asking for Bowie's
'Heroes' downloaded 'Scary Monsters' because the picker ranked purely by
seeders/grabs -> quality -> size with NO title check, and the wrong album had
~16x the grabs. (Confirmed the old picker chose the wrong release on exactly
this scenario.)
Fix (the reporter's proposal):
- album_title_relevance(candidate_title, album_name): word-coverage match,
accent-folded (Bjork != bj rk) and WORD-BOUNDARY (Heroes != Superheroes), so
a wrong album that shares no title words scores 0.
- pick_best_album_release gains album_name/artist_name params and a relevance
gate (floor 0.6) applied BEFORE the seeders/quality/size ranking. When
album_name is given and NOTHING clears the floor, returns None.
- torrent.py + usenet.py call sites pass album_name/artist_name and set
result['fallback'] = True on None, so the dispatcher (source-agnostic
fallback routing) hands off to the per-track flow instead of grabbing a
wrong album. Matches what Soulseek already did via its preflight scorer.
No album_name -> no gating (old behavior preserved for callers without a
title). Tests: 9 new in test_album_bundle.py (relevance math incl. the
substring trap + accent fold, the exact Bowie refuse-and-fallback scenario,
None-when-no-match, and no-gate-without-name). 125 album-bundle/dispatch/plugin
tests pass; compile + ruff clean.
Follow-up to the poll fix, covering the two things that blocked a
successful end-to-end album import once the poll itself stopped
freezing:
1. Staging dir permissions
The album-bundle private staging path defaults to
'storage/album_bundle_staging' -> /app/storage, but /app/storage was
never created or chowned by the image (unlike /app/Staging,
/app/Transfer, etc.), and /app is root-owned. The copy failed with
"[Errno 13] Permission denied: 'storage'" under the non-root soulsync
UID. Added /app/storage to the Dockerfile build-time mkdir+chown and
the entrypoint PUID/PGID chown, exactly like the sibling runtime dirs.
2. Client->local path resolution
Usenet/torrent clients report save paths from inside THEIR OWN
container (e.g. SAB '/data/downloads/music/<album>'); SoulSync often
mounts the same files at a different point ('/app/downloads/<album>').
Feeding the client path straight to the audio walker yields
"No audio files found" though the files are physically present.
New resolve_reported_save_path():
a. use the reported path as-is if readable (mirrored mounts),
b. apply explicit download_source.usenet_path_mappings
({from,to}, Sonarr/Radarr-style) for non-shared layouts,
c. basename fallback under SoulSync's own download roots —
zero-config for the standard shared-volume arr setup.
Wired into both call sites in usenet.py AND torrent.py
(download_album_to_staging + _finalize_download), logging any
translation and including the resolved path in the no-audio error.
Tests: resolver verbatim / explicit-mapping / basename-fallback /
priority / not-found / empty / mapping-miss-then-basename. ruff +
compileall + pytest green (645 in the download suites).

The earlier #721 fix tolerated a ~10s "completed but no save_path"
window, but the real production stall sits upstream of that: SABnzbd
removes a finished download from the queue and runs par2 verify /
repair / unpack *in History*, exposing the live stage in the slot
`status` ('Verifying' / 'Repairing' / 'Extracting' / 'Moving' / ...)
with `storage` empty until the final move. `_parse_history_slot` mapped
EVERY non-'Failed' status to 'completed', so a still-extracting 1.7 GB
FLAC album looked "completed with no save_path" the instant download hit
100%. The poll burned its completed-no-path budget mid-PP and bailed,
freezing the UI on the last download emit (the stuck-at-99%/100%
signature). SAB then finished fine — which is why the job shows
Completed in History but SoulSync never staged it.
Root fix
- `_parse_history_slot` routes `status` through `_map_state`, so PP
stages stay NON-terminal: the poll keeps waiting (as 'downloading')
for as long as post-processing takes and only a real 'Completed'
flips to terminal success. `save_path` is trusted only on true
completion (mid-PP path fields may point at the incomplete dir).
Supporting / defensive
- `UsenetStatus.incomplete_path`: surfaced separately from save_path
(SAB `incomplete_path`) and used by the poll loops as a LAST RESORT
after the completed-no-path window, to recover the case where
`storage` never lands but the files are physically on disk.
- `poll_album_download`: dedicated, configurable completed-no-path
window (~120s via `download_source.album_bundle_completed_no_path_seconds`)
decoupled from the ~10s transient-miss window; incomplete_path
fallback; a 30s heartbeat log so the previously-silent poll loop is
diagnosable.
- `usenet.py` `_download_thread`: per-track parity — it was erroring
immediately on the first completed-no-path read.
- `album_bundle_dispatch.py` / `status.py` / `monitor.py`: use the
project `get_logger` so download-flow logs land in app.log under the
`soulsync.*` namespace (they were console-only before, which hid the
`[Album Bundle] flow failed` line during triage).
Tests
- PP-history state mapping; end-to-end Hunky Dory PP regression
(download -> Verifying/Extracting in History past both budgets ->
Completed+storage -> success); completed-no-path window +
incomplete_path fallback; per-track thread parity. ruff + compileall +
pytest all green (the only local failures are environmental: missing
tzdata + local tools/ffmpeg.exe, neither present on CI).

Follow-up to f13d3395. Five gaps called out on self-review:
1. Per-track inline transient tolerance was duplicated between
usenet.py and torrent.py (~12 lines each, identical) and wasn't
directly tested. Extracted into ``TransientMissCounter`` in
``album_bundle.py`` — small class with ``record_miss()`` returning
True at threshold and ``reset()`` for successful reads. Both
per-track flows AND the lifted ``poll_album_download`` now use
the same counter, so the rule is in one place.
2. Threshold is now config-driven via
``download_source.album_bundle_transient_miss_threshold``
(default 5). Same defensive pattern as ``get_poll_interval`` /
``get_poll_timeout`` — non-positive / non-numeric falls back to
the default. Users with very slow servers (huge multi-disc box
sets, slow disks) can extend the tolerance window without
touching code.
3. SAB state map verified against the canonical Status enum in
``sabnzbd/constants.py`` (sabnzbd/constants.py:~95-118). Dropped
six entries I'd guessed at and couldn't verify in source
(``trying``, ``prop_paused``, ``prop_failed``, ``unpacking``,
``pp``, ``postprocessing``). Kept the verified ``deleted`` (lower-
cased from SAB's ``Deleted``) and added the one real state I'd
missed: ``Propagating`` (SAB's pre-download delay state — maps to
``queued`` since we're waiting on the NZB to be available, not
actively downloading).
4. SAB integration test exercising the queue→history gap end-to-end
through the real adapter HTTP layer. Mocks SAB's queue + history
endpoints with the exact response shapes SAB emits, runs three
gap polls (both endpoints empty), then a recovery poll where the
slot appears in history as Completed. Confirms the TransientMissCounter
absorbs the gap and ``poll_album_download`` returns the save_path
without emitting terminal failure. This was the path I had only
tested at the helper layer before — now pinned end-to-end through
the adapter.
5. SAB state mapping has new tests: every Status value from SAB's
canonical enum must map to a known adapter state (not the 'error'
default fallback), Propagating routes to queued, Deleted routes
to failed. Future SAB state additions that we miss will surface
as 'error' default → transient-miss tolerance → terminal failure
with a clear log line, but the explicit assertion list here means
we'll catch the omission in CI before users do.
Test count after: 537 download-suite tests pass; 21 new
(``TransientMissCounter`` ×4, ``get_transient_miss_threshold`` ×3,
SAB state-coverage ×3, SAB direct ``nzo_ids`` lookup ×5, SAB
queue→history integration ×1, plus the existing helper-layer
coverage from the parent commit). Ruff clean.
User reported usenet album downloads getting stuck on "downloading
release" while SABnzbd reported the job as complete. Container restart
did not help; reproducible on every usenet album download.
Three independent issues all causing the same symptom — the download
modal freezes mid-flow with no error surfaced to the user:
1. SAB queue → history transition window
SAB removes a slot from its queue BEFORE adding it to the history,
and on a busy server (par2 verify, unrar, multi-file move) that
window can span several poll iterations. The poll treated a single
None status as terminal failure ("disappeared from client") and
gave up. Now the poll tolerates up to ~10s of consecutive misses
(5 polls at the default 2s interval) before declaring the job gone.
2. SAB queue states like `Pp` were unmapped
`_SAB_QUEUE_STATE_MAP` didn't cover SAB's `Pp` (post-processing
summary), `Unpacking`, `Trying`, `Deleted`, or the `Prop_paused`
/ `Prop_failed` variants. Unmapped states fell through to the
default-'error' fallback, and the poll loop only treated explicit
'failed' / 'completed' as terminal — 'error' was neither, so the
loop spun until the 6-hour timeout. Map now covers every Status
value from SAB's `sabnzbd/api.py`, and the poll treats the default-
'error' fallback as a transient miss (warn-logged, retry within
the same tolerance window) so a brand-new unmapped state can't
infinite-loop the way `Pp` did here.
3. No terminal failure emit
The poll only logged on failure / timeout / disappeared — never
called the progress callback with 'failed', so the download modal
stayed at the last 'downloading' emit forever. Plumb a 'failed'
emit through every failure exit path so the UI flips out of the
downloading state when the poll gives up.
Plus:
4. SAB direct nzo_ids lookup instead of paging all-history
`_get_status_sync` was fetching the latest 50 history entries on
every poll and iterating to find the target nzo_id. On busy
servers (many recent downloads), the target job could roll past
the 50-entry window and look like a "disappeared" job. Replaced
with a targeted `mode=queue&nzo_ids=<id>` → `mode=history&nzo_ids=<id>`
chain. Falls back to the bulk path for SAB versions that pre-date
the nzo_ids filter — the transient-miss tolerance covers any
short-lived gap there too.
Implementation:
Lifted the album-bundle poll loop out of `usenet.py` and `torrent.py`
into `core/download_plugins/album_bundle.py:poll_album_download` —
near-duplicate implementations are now a single function with deps
injected so it's testable in isolation (kettui's extract-don't-AST-parse
standard; can't unit-test a `time.sleep` loop inside a plugin method).
The lifted helper takes:
- `get_status` callable bound to job_id, so the same loop works for
usenet UsenetStatus and torrent TorrentStatus shapes
- `complete_states` set so torrent's `{'seeding', 'completed'}` and
usenet's `{'completed'}` both Just Work
- `failed_states` set so torrent's `{'error'}` is terminal while
usenet's default-'error' fallback is transient
- `transient_miss_threshold` (default 5 ≈ 10s at 2s poll)
- `sleep` / `monotonic` injectables for deterministic tests
Per-track flows in both plugins gained the same transient-miss
tolerance inline — they don't use the emit pattern (update an
`active_downloads[id]` row dict via lock instead), so reusing the
helper would have required threading a no-op emit through. Inline
fix is small enough.
Tests:
- 11 new tests in `tests/test_album_bundle.py:poll_album_download`
cover the happy path, transient-miss tolerance with recovery,
hard-failure threshold, explicit-failed surface, timeout-emit,
default-'error' transient treatment, shutdown clean exit,
torrent's `seeding`-counts-as-complete, save_path captured across
iterations, and adapter-exception treated as transient miss.
- 521 download-suite tests pass (33 in test_album_bundle, others
pin existing torrent + usenet contracts).
- Ruff clean.
Closes#706.
Adds torrent/usenet as release-oriented download sources with album-bundle staging, live progress reporting, and post-processing that selects the requested audio file from completed releases instead of blindly importing the first file.
Keeps album-bundle behavior gated to single-source torrent/usenet album downloads, excludes release sources from hybrid album per-track searches, and allows hybrid non-album tracks to use release results safely.
Improves staged-release matching for featured/bonus track filenames while preserving version mismatches, records torrent/usenet provenance in library history, and updates service/status UI labels.
Covers the flow with focused lifecycle, status, staging, validation, task worker, post-processing, and import side-effect tests.
Per code review: the album-bundle helpers (release picker + staging
collision suffix) were defined as private symbols in torrent.py and
imported by usenet.py through ``from core.download_plugins.torrent
import _pick_best_album_release, _unique_staging_path``. Sibling
plugins shouldn't reach into each other's private surface — leaky
module boundary, and the underscore prefix says don't import.
Also addressed two latent issues at the same time:
- The Auto-Import sweep race: my plugin copied audio files into
staging via plain ``shutil.copy2``, which exposes a partial file
at the audio extension for the duration of the copy. The Auto-
Import worker filters by audio extension when scanning Staging
(AUDIO_EXTENSIONS in core/auto_import_worker.py), so a mid-flight
scan could pick up a truncated file. Fix: copy to a
``.tmp.<random>`` sidecar first, then atomically rename via
``Path.replace`` (which is ``os.replace`` — atomic on the same
filesystem). Auto-Import sees the file either at its final name
or not at all.
- The 6-hour poll timeout was a hard-coded magic constant. Users
with slow private trackers or large box sets would silently time
out after 6h. Both the timeout and the poll interval are now
read from config (``download_source.album_bundle_timeout_seconds``
/ ``..._poll_interval_seconds``) with safe fallback to the
existing defaults when unset / non-numeric.
- core/download_plugins/album_bundle.py: new module owns the
shared surface — ``pick_best_album_release`` (with quality_guess
passed in as a parameter to avoid the circular import that would
result from this module trying to know about torrent.py's title
parser), ``unique_staging_path``, ``atomic_copy_to_staging``,
``copy_audio_files_atomically``, ``get_poll_interval``,
``get_poll_timeout``. Module-level size constants and quality
weights live here too. Usenet's grabs-as-popularity-proxy is
built into the picker so both plugins get the right behavior
without divergent local logic.
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: drops the local helpers + the
hard-coded poll constants, imports from album_bundle. Per-track
download flow still uses module-level ``_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS``
/ ``_POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS`` aliases (read from config once at
import time, same as before from a per-track perspective).
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: drops the imports of the
torrent.py private helpers; everything goes through album_bundle
now. Stops the cross-plugin private-import leak that started
this whole refactor.
- tests/test_album_bundle.py: 23 new tests covering the picker
heuristic (empty input, singleton drop, FLAC preference, grabs
fallback for usenet, size-floor / ceiling boundaries), the
collision-suffix logic, the atomic-copy invariant (concurrent
scanner thread asserts it never observes a partial audio file
during five sequential copies), the failure-skip behavior of the
batch copier, and the config-driven poll cadence including
garbage-input fallback.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: existing picker tests
updated to call the new module-level helpers instead of the
former torrent.py privates.
Fixes the core architectural mismatch between indexer-based sources
and the per-track search-and-pick contract every other download
plugin satisfies. Prowlarr returns release-level torrents and NZBs;
searching for "Luther (with SZA)" against the GNX album torrent
scores near-zero on track-title similarity. Per-track candidate
validation rejects every result, every track in the batch flips
to not_found. The album-name fallback added in an earlier commit
papers over it for some cases but doesn't fix the fundamental
behavior: the user wanted the whole album.
New album-bundle flow does what the user actually wanted:
1. Gate fires inside core/downloads/master.py BEFORE the per-track
analysis loop, strictly when the batch has an album context AND
download_source.mode is 'torrent' or 'usenet' (single-source —
hybrid stays per-track to preserve fallback to Soulseek / etc.).
2. Plugin's new download_album_to_staging method searches Prowlarr
ONCE for the album as a whole ('<artist> <album>'), filters to
the right protocol, runs results through _pick_best_album_release.
3. Picker prefers seeded FLAC over low-seeded MP3, drops single-
track torrents that snuck in via the 40 MB size floor (single
tracks are typically ~10 MB), falls back to most-seeded when
every candidate is below the floor.
4. Picked release goes to the active adapter (qBit / Transmission /
Deluge for torrent; SAB / NZBGet for usenet). Polls until
complete with progress mirrored into the batch state so the
Downloads page can show meaningful status.
5. On completion the existing archive_pipeline walks the save dir
(extracting archives if any), every audio file gets copied into
the staging folder via _unique_staging_path so concurrent batches
don't collide.
6. Gate exits, master worker continues into the normal per-track
flow. Each track task hits try_staging_match early in the worker
and finds its file by fuzzy title match — no Prowlarr search
ever fires per-track, no candidate rejection, files flow through
the existing post-processing pipeline (tags, AcoustID, library
import).
Gate is strictly opt-in. Three orthogonal conditions must all hold:
batch_is_album, mode in ('torrent', 'usenet'), and the plugin must
expose download_album_to_staging. Any other source / hybrid mode /
non-album batch flows through the master worker unchanged. The
existing per-track torrent path still works for basic-search
single-track grabs.
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: download_album_to_staging plus
_pick_best_album_release and _unique_staging_path helpers (shared
with the usenet plugin). _poll_album_download mirrors the existing
poll loop with progress callback emission.
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: parallel implementation reusing
the picker + staging helpers. Different state set ('failed' vs
'error') from the usenet adapter contract.
- core/downloads/master.py: ~90-line gate right after batch context
loading. Mirrors plugin lifecycle into batch state under
``album_bundle_*`` keys so the Downloads page can render progress
while the torrent/usenet job runs (per-track tasks don't exist
yet during this phase). Failed bundle download fails the batch
with a meaningful error; missing plugin / context falls back to
the per-track flow with a warning.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: 5 new tests pinning the
album picker preferences (FLAC over MP3 with comparable size +
better seeders, size floor drops singles, fallback when all
small), staging-path collision suffix, and the not-configured
short-circuit.
Real-world test surfaced the bug — torrent results displayed
'by download?apikey=c15d6f69...&link=...' as the uploader / artist
in the basic search UI. The cause is TrackResult.__post_init__:
when artist is None it runs parse_filename_metadata on the bare
filename, and our filename starts with the indexer's download URL
(needed so download() can recover the URL later). The auto-parser
treats the URL as 'artist' and ships it to the UI.
Fix:
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: new _parse_release_title()
splits 'Artist - Title' / 'Artist - Album' out of the release
title and strips trailing [FLAC] / (2016) tags. Falls back to
('', cleaned_title) when no dash is found, and explicitly
rejects URL-looking strings as an extra defence. The projection
pre-fills both artist and title on TrackResult, so __post_init__
skips the auto-parse entirely. When the release title has no
dash, artist defaults to the indexer name so the UI shows
'by Indexer' instead of a URL.
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: imports the new helper and
applies the same fix.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: 5 tests for the new
helper (dash split, trailing-tag stripping, no-dash fallback,
multiple-dash preservation, URL-prefix rejection). Existing
projection tests updated to assert artist + title come through
parsed correctly, plus a new test pinning the indexer-name
fallback for titles without a dash so the URL-leak regression
can't return.
The payoff for the previous five commits. Two new download
sources slot into the existing DownloadSourcePlugin contract,
backed by Prowlarr (search) + the torrent or usenet client
adapter (transfer) + archive_pipeline (post-extract walk). They
appear in the Download Source dropdown next to Soulseek / Tidal /
Lidarr / etc. and also participate in hybrid mode.
Pipeline (both plugins, mirror shape):
1. search(query) → ProwlarrClient.search filtered to the right
protocol, projected into TrackResult / AlbumResult shapes the
existing search UI already speaks. Filename field encodes the
indexer's download URL (or magnet URI for torrents) so
download() can recover it later.
2. download() → decodes URL, hands it to the active adapter
(qBittorrent / Transmission / Deluge for torrent; SABnzbd /
NZBGet for usenet), spawns a background poll thread that
tracks progress + reports the adapter-reported save_path.
3. On 'seeding' / 'completed' → archive_pipeline walks the save
directory, extracts any archives the downloader didn't
already unpack, picks the first audio file as the canonical
file_path. Matches the Lidarr client's single-track-pick
contract — picking which specific track to import happens in
post-processing.
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: TorrentDownloadPlugin +
module-level helpers (_decode_filename, _guess_quality_from_title,
_parse_indexer_id_filter, _adapter_state_to_display, _row_to_status).
Uses get_active_torrent_adapter() so a settings change to the
client type takes effect without restart.
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: UsenetDownloadPlugin —
parallel shape, reuses the torrent module's helpers. Different
enough states (no seeding, no magnet) to warrant its own class
but cheap to keep in lockstep.
- core/download_plugins/registry.py: register 'torrent' and
'usenet' plugins. Per the registry docstring this is the only
wiring point needed — the orchestrator picks them up
automatically via the iteration helpers.
- webui/index.html: 'Torrent Only (via Prowlarr)' + 'Usenet Only
(via Prowlarr)' added to the Download Source dropdown. New
redirect card (#prowlarr-source-redirect) explains that the
actual config lives on the Indexers & Downloaders tab —
shown whenever torrent or usenet is in the active source set.
- webui/static/settings.js: HYBRID_SOURCES gets two new entries
so hybrid mode can pick them up. updateDownloadSourceUI now
toggles the redirect card based on active sources.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: 23 tests covering pure
helpers (filename encode/decode round-trip incl. magnet URIs,
quality guesser, state mapping), search projection logic
(protocol filter, drops without URLs, magnet-preferred-over-URL,
filename encoding, neutralised soulseek-specific score fields),
is_configured (both prowlarr + adapter required), finalize
(picks first audio file, errors on empty dir / missing save_path),
clear/get_all lifecycle, DownloadSourcePlugin protocol
conformance, and registry membership.
