Adds the 'Align playlists' action to the out-of-order modal — a dedicated,
order-only write path that does NOT touch the normal sync. Subsonic has no
per-track move, so it overwrites the song list in source order via createPlaylist
+ playlistId (same primitive replace-mode uses; identity/id preserved).
- plan_align_rewrite() (pure, tested): matched server ids in source order; every
one must already be in the playlist (never injects a track); extras either
dropped ('Mirror source') or parked at the end ('Keep extras'); returns None on
stale data so a vanished track can't be written.
- navidrome rewrite_playlist_order() primitive (raw ordered ids).
- /api/server/playlist/<id>/align: validates ids are in the live playlist, then
rewrites. Navidrome-only for now (Plex/Jellyfin reorder = follow-up).
- modal gets two explained options; missing tracks are NOT added (normal sync's
job) and that's stated. Metadata-free by design — it only reshuffles existing
server ids, so there's no sync-parity surface.
Open: confirm createPlaylist+playlistId preserves the playlist comment/image on a
live Navidrome (same risk as replace mode); add a re-apply step if it doesn't.
carlosjfcasero round 2: after 6fa956d6 append stopped recreating the playlist,
but every sync re-appended ALL matched tracks — every track N times. His log
shows it plainly: "added 22 new tracks to 'Disney' (skipped 0 already present)"
on a playlist that already had those 22.
Root cause: the dedupe read `{t.id for t in get_playlist_tracks(...)}` — but
JellyfinTrack only defines `ratingKey`, never `id`, so the existing-ids set was
ALWAYS empty and everything looked new. NavidromeTrack is also ratingKey-only,
so the Navidrome append had the identical bug. Plex (plexapi ratingKey) was
fine. The existing tests were green because they mocked existing tracks as
SimpleNamespace(id=...) — encoding the same wrong assumption as the code.
Fix:
- New pure planner plan_playlist_append(current, desired) in
core/sync/playlist_edit.py (next to the reconcile planner): order-preserving,
drops already-present ids, dedupes within desired, stringifies (Emby numeric
vs string safe).
- Jellyfin/Emby: existing ids fetched from the canonical
/Playlists/{id}/Items endpoint (same as reconcile — works for Jellyfin GUIDs
and Emby numeric ids), ratingKey fallback if that request fails.
- Navidrome: dedupe on ratingKey (the attribute that actually exists).
Tests: planner (skip-present incl. the reporter's unchanged-playlist case,
desired-order, dupes-within-desired, int/str ids, empties) + the append-mode
suite rewritten to pin the REAL shapes (raw Items dicts for Jellyfin,
ratingKey objects for Navidrome) + a new fallback-path test. 524
playlist/sync/jellyfin/navidrome tests pass.
carlosjfcasero: "append" sync mode still recreated the playlist (wiping image +
description) on both the sync-page auto-sync and the Playlist Pipeline. Root
cause: _run_sync_task defaulted sync_mode='replace', and every AUTOMATED caller
omits the mode — auto_sync_playlist (mirrored auto-sync + pipeline), the
iTunes-link sync, and Wing It. So those paths always replaced, ignoring the
user's chosen mode entirely. (Manual sync + the per-source discovery path already
passed a mode, which is why it only bit automated runs.)
Fix: when no mode is passed, _run_sync_task resolves the user's configured global
"Playlist sync mode" (normalize_sync_mode(None, playlist_sync.mode)) — the same
thing _submit_sync_task already does — instead of hardcoding 'replace'. The
global default is still 'replace', so users who never changed it are unaffected;
only those who set Append/Reconcile get the corrected behavior.
Tests: normalize_sync_mode(None,'append')→'append' (and 'replace' unchanged);
auto_sync_playlist must not force a mode (no sync_mode kwarg / no 7th positional)
so the resolution can happen. 896 sync/automation/discovery/playlist tests pass.
start_playlist_sync validated the resolved mode with 'if sync_mode not in
(replace, append): sync_mode = replace' — a pre-existing clamp two lines below
the config read I added, which silently downgraded a configured 'reconcile' to
'replace'. So config=reconcile resolved correctly then got clobbered, and every
sync ran replace regardless of the setting (and incognito didn't help — it's
backend, not cache).
Replace the hand-rolled clamp with a pure normalize_sync_mode(requested,
configured) helper (VALID_SYNC_MODES includes reconcile) so the resolution is
testable and can't silently drop a mode again. Regression tests cover
reconcile-from-config, request-overrides-config, and unknown->replace.
Replace mode (default) deletes + recreates the server playlist every sync,
which wipes its custom image, description, and identity. Add an opt-in
'reconcile' sync mode that edits the existing playlist in place — adds the
tracks now in the source, removes the ones gone — without destroying the
object, so the user's custom art/description survive.
- Pure planner plan_playlist_reconcile(current, desired) -> {add, remove}.
- Per-client reconcile_playlist: Plex addItems/removeItems on the same object;
Navidrome Subsonic updatePlaylist delta (songIdToAdd / descending
songIndexToRemove); Jellyfin add + remove-by-PlaylistItemId on /Playlists/{id}/Items.
- sync_service: reconcile branch with a replace FALLBACK (if a server's in-place
edit is unavailable/fails, sync still succeeds destructively — logged loudly).
- Default stays 'replace' (no behavior change). New Settings > Playlist sync mode
picker (replace/reconcile/append) backed by playlist_sync.mode; per-request
sync_mode still overrides.
- Reconcile skips the post-sync source-image push so a custom poster isn't
re-clobbered (the bug).
Tests: planner (add/remove/dedupe/order/empty) + reconcile-or-replace dispatch
(success / false-fallback / exception-fallback / no-method). Per-server in-place
API calls need dev validation against real Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome.
NOTE: opt-in only; default behavior unchanged.
Three compounding bugs hit tracks whose source metadata is YouTube/streaming-
shaped — title "Artist - Song", artist "Official Artist"/"Artist - Topic"/
"ArtistVEVO" (reported: "Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?" by "Official Arctic
Monkeys"). Server-agnostic — affects Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome, not just the
reporter's Navidrome.
Bug A — the match fails. The confidence scorer and the editor's reconcile both
compared the raw "Artist - Song" title against the library's clean "Song"; the
length-ratio penalty + floor drove it to ~0.18 (NO-MATCH), so the track showed
unmatched while its server copy showed as an orphan "extra". New pure
core/text/source_title.py (clean_source_artist / strip_artist_prefix /
canonical_source_track) strips the channel/video decoration, applied at BOTH
matching seams: services/sync_service._find_track_in_media_server (tries raw
then canonical, keeps the best) and the editor reconcile. Conservative: a title
prefix is stripped only when it equals the artist, so "Self-Titled", "Jay-Z",
and "Marvin Gaye" (by another artist) are untouched, and the canonical form is
an additional best-of candidate so it can only help.
Bug B — manual matches never persisted. get_server_playlist_tracks built the
per-source entry WITHOUT source_track_id, so "Find & add" posted an empty id
and _persist_find_and_add_match returned early. The match reverted to "extra"
on reload and re-adding looped. The editor's 3-pass matcher is now lifted to a
pure, tested core.sync.playlist_reconcile.reconcile_playlist that includes
source_track_id (the frontend at pages-extra.js:1836 already reads + sends it).
Bug C — manual match duplicated + delete wiped all copies. "Find & add" always
inserted, so linking a source to an already-present server track appended a
duplicate (pos 72, 73...); remove filtered out EVERY entry with the target id.
New pure core.sync.playlist_edit (plan_playlist_add: link-don't-duplicate when
the target is already present; remove_one_occurrence: drop a single copy) wired
into the Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome add + remove branches.
Tests (extreme): tests/test_source_title.py (35), tests/test_playlist_reconcile.py
(11 — incl. the reported case, parity for override/exact/fuzzy/extra, and
duplicate-server handling), tests/test_playlist_edit.py (12). 286 matching/sync
tests still pass.
Caveats: the sync_service change and the add/remove/editor endpoints are
read-verified, not executed against a live media server (none in CI). The pure
cores they call are exhaustively unit-tested; output-shape parity of the
reconcile lift is covered. Delete removes the first matching copy (duplicates
are identical, so harmless).
