When the modal opens instantly (before data loads), it was rendered in the
'fresh' phase — showing clickable Start Discovery / Wing It buttons over an empty
table, even though discovery is already auto-starting. Open it in 'discovering'
instead: the footer becomes the non-interactive 'Discovering matches…' info line
and the progress text reads 'Starting discovery…' instead of 'Click Start
Discovery to begin…'. Only Close stays clickable while the table loads.
The prior UX commit removed a redundant frontend pre-fetch, but the modal was
still only opened at the END of openTidalDiscoveryModal — AFTER awaiting
/api/tidal/discovery/start, whose backend handler fetches the whole playlist
synchronously (Tidal sleeps 1s/page, ~10s) before responding. So the modal still
didn't appear for ~10s. Now open the modal first (with a 'Loading playlist from
Tidal…' note), then fire the discovery-start POST and begin polling; return early
so the shared open at the bottom is skipped for this path.
Clicking Discover on a fresh Tidal card awaited /api/tidal/playlist/<id> (which
paginates Tidal with a 1s sleep per page + rate-limit throttle, ~10s for a large
playlist) BEFORE opening the modal — and the backend discovery worker then
re-fetched the same playlist anyway. Now that the modal builds its rows from the
backend discovery results (#867), open it immediately and let discovery populate
it: no blocking pre-fetch, no redundant double-fetch of the playlist.
Two issues in the same path:
1. The shared discovery modal pre-renders one row per track from a
separately-fetched frontend track list, then the poll dropped any backend
result without a pre-rendered row (if (!row) return). When the frontend's
track fetch came back rate-limited/partial (~21) while discovery's own fetch
got all 59, the surplus results vanished. Now the modal CREATES a row for any
result lacking one, so authoritative backend results drive the list (fixes
all sources sharing the modal).
2. get_playlist hydrated a whole relationships page in one _get_tracks_batch
call, but Tidal caps filter[id] at 20/request, silently truncating larger
pages. Chunk to the cap like get_album_tracks already does.
Seam + regression tests (tests/test_tidal_playlist_batch_chunking.py).
#814 — the collapsed Batches rail (44px) hid .adl-batch-active and
.adl-batch-history-section but NOT the JS-rendered .adl-batch-summary line
("N batches · M downloading · …"), so it overflowed as clipped text. Added it
to the collapsed hide rule.
#815 — "Retry Failed" only toasted "Retrying N…" at the start and a generic
"Discovery complete!" at the end, with no sense of how many of the retried
tracks actually progressed. retryFailedMirroredDiscovery now stamps a baseline
(matches-before + retry count) on the state, and a shared completion toast
reports "Retry complete: X of N newly found[, Y still not found]" instead of
the generic message. Normal (non-retry) discovery still shows "Discovery
complete!".
JS syntax clean, 70 script-split/style tests pass.
SoulSync standalone matches library tracks without Plex fetchItem,
reports missing counts correctly, and skips server playlist writes.
Automation re-syncs when the mirror grows; after sync finishes, starts
organize download (organize-by-playlist) or wishlist processing.
UI: Spotify URL playlist-folder controls, organize toggle layout in the
discovery modal, reload organize preference when reopening Download Missing.

Persist organize_by_playlist on mirrored playlists and run playlist-folder
downloads from the auto-sync pipeline instead of the global wishlist phase.
Register SoulSync library rows after playlist-folder post-processing, route
failed organize batches to the wishlist correctly, and skip sync-time
unmatched wishlist only when organize download handles retries.
Invalidate stale playlist track caches on refresh (Spotify and Deezer ARL),

The Tools-page Database Updater dropdown only offered Incremental and
Full Refresh, even though the backend (/api/database/update with
deep_scan) and the dashboard Deep Scan button already supported a deep
scan. Wire the missing option into the Tools UI:
- Add a "Deep Scan" option to the #db-refresh-type dropdown.
- handleDbUpdateButtonClick now sends { deep_scan: true } for that
option (deep scan takes precedence server-side) and confirms first,
since deep scan removes stale entries — mirroring the dashboard flow.
Frontend-only; the progress/status handler already drives the bar from
the backend phase ("Deep scan: ...") and the help/docs copy already
described all three modes.
Last of the three unified-tab phases. Surfaces the user's
persisted personalized playlists (decade mixes, hidden gems,
popular picks, daily mixes, discovery shuffle, etc.) on the
Sync page so they participate in the mirrored-playlist +
Auto-Sync pipeline like every other source.
Different shape from the LB / Last.fm tabs:
- Tracks already carry Spotify / iTunes / Deezer IDs (matched
at generation time from the discovery pool), so there is NO
MB-style "needs discovery" hop. The mirror is created with
fully-populated ``matched_data`` JSON inline, downstream
consumers (sync, wishlist) see canonical extra_data
immediately.
- Click on a card runs the kind's generator
(``POST /api/personalized/playlist/<kind>/<variant>/refresh``)
+ grabs the fresh track snapshot + mirrors under a synthetic
id of the form ``ssd_<kind>_<variant>`` (e.g. ``ssd_decade_1980s``,
``ssd_hidden_gems``). Re-clicks UPSERT the same row, so the
Auto-Sync schedule survives every refresh.
- Sub-tabs / archive concept don't apply here — each personalized
playlist is already a singleton per (profile, kind, variant);
the manager handles its own rotation.
New file: ``webui/static/sync-soulsync-discovery.js`` (~210 lines).
``initializeSyncPage`` learns a new tab branch. CSS adds
``soulsync-discovery-icon`` (star SVG, teal ``#14b8a6``) +
``.soulsync-discovery-playlist-card`` joins the unified card
selector group with a matching teal accent.
WHATS_NEW entry added under 2.6.3.
236 tests still green; no Python paths touched.
ListenBrainz publishes "Weekly Jams for X" / "Weekly Exploration
for X" with a fresh MBID every week, and "Top Discoveries of YYYY
for X" / "Top Missed Recordings of YYYY for X" with a fresh MBID
every year. Auto-mirroring those per-period yielded one mirrored-
playlist row per week/year — useless for Auto-Sync schedules
because the underlying LB playlist never updates, only a brand new
playlist replaces it. The user accumulates 100+ dead Weekly Jams
rows per year if they discover regularly.
This commit collapses each family into a single ROLLING mirror
keyed by a synthetic ``source_playlist_id`` (e.g.
``lb_weekly_jams_Nezreka``). Each new period UPSERTs into the same
row, so the user gets one stable Auto-Sync schedule per series
that automatically picks up the latest period's tracks on every
refresh. Non-series LB playlists (user-created, collaborative,
Last.fm radios for a specific seed) continue to mirror under
their per-playlist MBID as before. Per-period LB playlists are
still visible + usable on the LB Sync tab — only the mirror layer
collapses.
- ``core/playlists/lb_series.py`` (new) — series-detect helper
with regex patterns + canonical-name + LIKE-pattern template
for each known LB family. Exposes
``detect_series(title)``, ``is_series_synthetic_id(id)``, and
``list_series_synthetic_ids()`` so both the JS auto-mirror hook
and the LB adapter can speak the same language.
- ``GET /api/listenbrainz/series-detect?title=...`` — thin HTTP
shim around ``detect_series`` so the auto-mirror JS doesn't
duplicate the regex.
- ``ListenBrainzPlaylistSource.get_playlist`` now recognizes
synthetic series ids — it queries the LB cache for the newest
cache row whose title matches the series' LIKE pattern and
resolves to that row's MBID before fetching tracks. The mirror's
meta keeps the synthetic id so refreshes always re-resolve to
the latest period.
- ``_mirrorListenBrainzAfterDiscovery`` (sync-services.js) calls
the new detect endpoint when discovery completes — if a match
comes back it swaps the per-period MBID for the synthetic id +
the canonical name. Existing Last.fm radio routing logic stays
intact (Last.fm radios aren't a series).
- ``ListenBrainzManager._cleanup_per_period_series_mirrors`` —
one-shot consolidation sweeper runs in ``_cleanup_old_playlists``
+ deletes any legacy per-period mirror rows so the consolidated
rolling mirror is the only one left. Idempotent — only matches
per-period titles ("Weekly Jams for ..., week of ...") and never
the canonical rolling-mirror titles ("ListenBrainz Weekly
Jams").
- 11 new tests pin the detector + synthetic-id helpers; 236 total
across adapter + automation + lb-series suites green.
Two-part fix for Last.fm Radio playlists showing up in the
ListenBrainz group of the Auto-Sync manager + Mirrored tab
instead of their own Last.fm group:
1. **Mirror-creation hook** (sync-services.js): the
``_mirrorListenBrainzAfterDiscovery`` helper hardcoded
``source='listenbrainz'`` on every auto-mirror call, even for
Last.fm Radio playlists (which share the same MB-track shape +
discovery worker but should land under ``source='lastfm'``).
``save_lastfm_radio_playlist`` always prefixes the playlist name
with "Last.fm Radio: <seed>", so the helper now keys on that
prefix to pick the right mirror source + owner fallback. Going
forward, new Last.fm radios mirror correctly the moment
discovery completes.
2. **Backfill** (listenbrainz_manager.py): legacy mirror rows
created before the fix above are stuck under
``source='listenbrainz'``. Added
``_retag_misrouted_lastfm_radio_mirrors`` to ``_cleanup_old_playlists``
so the next LB refresh re-tags any row whose name starts with
"Last.fm Radio:" but is still on ``source='listenbrainz'``.
Idempotent — UPDATE only matches misrouted rows.
Sibling to the ListenBrainz Sync tab from Phase 1c.1. Last.fm Radio
playlists already live in the same ``listenbrainz_playlists`` table
as LB ones (``playlist_type='lastfm_radio'``) and run through the
same MB-track discovery worker, so this tab is intentionally thin
— list + render + delegate. Card click hands straight off to the
LB Sync-tab click handler since the downstream modal + state
machine are identical.
- ``webui/index.html``: new ``<button data-tab="lastfm-sync">``
+ tab content container between the LB tab and the existing
Import / Mirrored tabs. Plus a ``<script>`` tag for the new
module.
- ``webui/static/sync-lastfm.js`` (new): ``loadLastfmSyncPlaylists``
hits the existing ``/api/discover/listenbrainz/lastfm-radio``
endpoint, ``renderLastfmSyncPlaylists`` mirrors the LB card
shape with a ``📻`` icon + a ``.lastfm-playlist-card`` brand
class, click handler forwards to
``handleListenBrainzSyncCardClick``.
- ``webui/static/sync-listenbrainz.js``: the shared 500ms refresh
loop now iterates LB + Last.fm cards in one pass and treats
either tab as "active" for liveness. No second loop needed.
- ``webui/static/sync-services.js``: new tab-activation branch in
``initializeSyncPage`` mirrors the LB pattern.
- ``webui/static/style.css``: ``.lastfm-icon`` SVG (Last.fm "as"
logo, red), and ``.lastfm-playlist-card`` joins the unified
card selector group with the Last.fm-red accent
(``rgba(213, 16, 7, ...)``).
- ``web_server.py``: the lastfm-radio endpoint now includes
``track_count`` in its JSPF payload (same fix as the LB
endpoints last commit).
- WHATS_NEW entry added under 2.6.3.
Mirrors created from Last.fm radios participate in the same auto-
trim Phase 1c.1's cascade-delete hook does — when the LB manager
rotates a stale ``lastfm_radio`` row out of its 5-most-recent
window, the matching ``source='lastfm'`` mirror row is removed
along with it. Library files stay on disk.
225 tests across adapter + automation suites still green; this
commit adds no Python paths to test.
Two follow-ups to the LB Sync tab work:
1. **Track counts all showed 0.** The
``/api/discover/listenbrainz/*`` endpoints assemble a JSPF-shaped
payload but drop the cached ``track_count`` field from the
underlying ``listenbrainz_playlists`` row — the JSON the frontend
sees only carries ``title`` / ``creator`` / ``annotation`` / an
empty ``track`` array. The Discover-page renderer worked around
it by hard-coding a fallback of 50; the Sync-page renderer had
no such fallback, so every card displayed "0 tracks". Backend
now includes ``track_count`` directly in each playlist payload
(it's already in the cached row) so any frontend can render an
accurate count without resorting to a default. JS still falls
back to ``annotation.track_count`` and then ``track.length`` for
older callers.
2. **LB playlists never landed in Mirrored Playlists.** The
existing ``/api/listenbrainz/sync/start/<mbid>`` endpoint runs
the converted Spotify tracks through ``_run_sync_task`` — i.e.
it pushes them to the user's media server (Plex / Jellyfin /
Navidrome / SoulSync) as a server-side playlist. It does NOT
call ``database.mirror_playlist``. So no ``mirrored_playlists``
row gets created and the playlist can't be picked up by the
Auto-Sync scheduler, can't show up under the Mirrored tab,
doesn't participate in pipeline automations — the whole point
of the Sync-tab unification.
Tidal works because Tidal mirrors on tab load with raw tracks
then enriches via discovery. LB tracks only have provider IDs
*after* discovery, so the equivalent moment for LB is "discovery
complete". Added ``_mirrorListenBrainzAfterDiscovery(mbid)``
that pulls the matched ``spotify_data`` out of
``discovery_results`` and posts to ``/api/mirror-playlist`` via
the existing ``mirrorPlaylist`` helper. Hooked into both the
WebSocket and HTTP-poll completion handlers of
``startListenBrainzDiscoveryPolling``. UPSERT-keyed on (source,
source_playlist_id, profile_id), so re-running discovery is a
safe no-op refresh.
Result: any LB playlist the user discovers (from either the
Discover page or the new Sync tab) now lands in
``mirrored_playlists`` with ``source='listenbrainz'`` + matched
tracks carrying canonical ``extra_data`` JSON, ready for the
Auto-Sync refresh + sync pipeline wired up in Phase 1a + 1b.
Two interacting bugs that left LB Sync-tab cards rendering with a
solid orange gradient background instead of the dark glass style
every other Sync-page card uses:
1. **Duplicate element id** ``listenbrainz-tab-content``: the new
Sync-tab content div reused the same id the Discover page's
pre-existing LB section already owned. Two elements with the
same id is invalid HTML, and ``getElementById`` in the refresh
loop was hitting the Sync version first while ``initialize
SyncPage``'s ``${tabId}-tab-content`` lookup could race against
it. Renamed the Sync-page tab id + ``data-tab`` attribute to
``listenbrainz-sync`` (matches the existing ``${tabId}-tab-
content`` convention so the lookup becomes
``listenbrainz-sync-tab-content``). Discover-page LB tab
keeps its original id untouched.
2. **Dead ``.listenbrainz-playlist-card`` rule** at style.css
L36155 painting a solid ``linear-gradient(#eb743b → #d26230)``
over the card. That class was orphaned — no JS or HTML
instantiated it before Phase 1c.1 — but it sat at higher
source order than my unified ``.youtube-playlist-card,
.tidal-playlist-card, ...`` rule, so the bare-class selector
won the cascade and overwrote the dark glass background.
Also removed the matching dead ``.listenbrainz-icon { font-
size: 48px }`` rule and its local ``@keyframes pulse`` copy
(the keyframes are defined in four other live blocks).
3. **Missing LB selectors in unified inner-element rules**:
``.listenbrainz-playlist-card`` was only added to the OUTER
card selector group in the first pass — the inner
``.playlist-card-icon`` / ``.playlist-card-content`` /
``.playlist-card-name`` / ``.playlist-card-info`` /
``.playlist-card-action-btn`` (+ ::before, :hover, :disabled)
selector groups were left out, so the inner elements lost all
their styling. Bulk-added LB to every group so the card
inherits the full glass shell the other sources get, with a
brand-orange ``rgba(235, 116, 59, ...)`` accent matching the
Tidal / Deezer / Spotify-public pattern.
The initial LB Sync tab (a7053a60 + df31d42b) rendered cards once
and never updated them as the discovery / sync flow progressed —
phase text stayed "Ready to discover", action button kept saying
"Discover", no progress counts. Tidal's cards by contrast update
phase + button + progress live throughout the entire flow because
Tidal's polling code calls ``updateTidalCardPhase`` /
``updateTidalCardProgress`` at every state transition.
Rather than patch the existing LB polling in sync-services.js with
parallel update hooks at every transition (4–6 injection points
across discovery + sync paths), this commit takes the lighter
route: a single 500ms refresh loop that reads the canonical
``listenbrainzPlaylistStates`` dict the polling code already
owns and updates the on-screen cards from it. The loop only ticks
while the LB tab is the active Sync tab — auto-stops the moment
the user switches away.
- ``_refreshOneLbSyncCard(card)`` — updates phase text + color
(via the shared ``getPhaseText`` / ``getPhaseColor`` helpers),
action button label (via ``getActionButtonText``), and the
per-card progress text in the same shape Tidal uses:
``♪ <total> / ✓ <matched> / ✗ <failed> / <percent>%``. Switches
to the sync-progress payload during syncing / sync_complete.
- ``_startLbSyncCardRefreshLoop`` — idempotent; kicked on tab
activation (in ``initializeSyncPage``) and right after the initial
``renderListenBrainzSyncPlaylists`` render if the tab is already
visible.
- Added the ``.playlist-card-progress`` slot to the LB card
template; hidden initially when phase=fresh, populated by the
refresh loop once discovery/sync begins.
First user-facing slice of the Discover-to-Sync unification. Adds a
ListenBrainz tab on the Sync page alongside Tidal / Qobuz /
Spotify Public / Beatport / etc. so users can mirror + auto-sync
ListenBrainz playlists from the same surface as every other source,
without detouring through the Discover page.
The Discover-page LB flow already owns all the heavy lifting
(state machine, discovery polling, sync → mirror creation). This
commit adds the Sync-page entry point only — list cached LB
playlists, render cards, pre-fetch tracks on click, hand off to
``openDownloadModalForListenBrainzPlaylist``. Zero backend changes.
- ``webui/index.html``: new ``<button data-tab="listenbrainz">`` +
tab content container with "For You / My Playlists /
Collaborative" sub-tabs and a refresh button.
- ``webui/static/sync-listenbrainz.js`` (new): ``loadListenBrainz
SyncPlaylists`` fetches all three LB cache categories in parallel,
``renderListenBrainzSyncPlaylists`` renders cards in the standard
``.youtube-playlist-card`` shell with the existing phase-state
helpers (so card colors / button text stay consistent with Tidal
/ Qobuz / etc.). Click handler populates the
``listenbrainzTracksCache`` from
``/api/discover/listenbrainz/playlist/<mbid>`` if not already
primed, then defers to the shared modal opener.
- ``webui/static/sync-services.js``: one new branch in
``initializeSyncPage`` to lazy-load the tab on first activation.
- ``webui/static/style.css``: ``.listenbrainz-icon`` SVG (orange
play-button in circle for inactive, white for active),
``.listenbrainz-sub-tab-btn`` styling for the sub-tabs,
``.refresh-button.listenbrainz`` accent.
- ``webui/static/helper.js``: WHATS_NEW entry under 2.6.3.
Auth-not-connected case is surfaced as a friendly placeholder
pointing the user at Settings → Connections instead of an empty
list.
New iTunes Link tab between Deezer Link and YouTube. Accepts album,
track, and playlist URLs from music.apple.com / iTunes. Pulls the
tracklist, runs it through the same discovery -> sync -> download
pipeline as the other link tabs.
Apple Music playlists go through amp-api with a Bearer JWT scraped
from the SPA. The legacy meta-tag and inline `"token":"..."` paths
are gone in the current music.apple.com SPA, so the extractor now
walks the page's `<script src>` list (prioritising index/chunk/main
bundles), fetches up to 8 JS bundles, regex-matches JWT-shaped
strings, and base64-decodes each payload to confirm it carries
Apple media-api claims (`root_https_origin`, or `iss + iat + exp`)
before trusting it. Filters out analytics / error-reporter JWTs that
also ship in the bundle.
Tokens are cached at module scope for 6h behind a threading.Lock so
the three-worker discovery executor doesn't thunder-herd Apple on
cold start, and amp-api calls go through a single helper that on
401 invalidates the cache, refetches the page, force-refreshes the
token, and retries the request once. The playlist fetcher memoises
the page HTML for the cache-miss path so we don't refetch it for
every paginated `/tracks` page.
spotify_public discovery worker accepts the new platform shape so
iTunes Link reuses the same matching code path as Deezer Link and
Spotify-public. UI bits live in the sync-services.js iTunes Link
tab, with platform plumbing through wishlist-tools.js for the
multi-source state map.
Three follow-ups to the Qobuz playlist sync commit:
* webui/static/sync-services.js openYouTubeDiscoveryModal — the
syncing-phase "start polling on modal open" switch was missing the
isQobuz branch (the discovery-modal-close handler hit it but this
earlier hook didn't). Resuming a sync after a page refresh would have
fallen through to startYouTubeSyncPolling.
* webui/static/sync-services.js closeYouTubeDiscoveryModal — the
per-service phase reset block had Tidal, Deezer, Spotify Public,
Beatport branches but no Qobuz. After a Qobuz sync_complete or
download_complete, closing the modal wouldn't reset the card phase
back to 'discovered' or push the phase update to /api/qobuz/update_phase.
* web_server.py _emit_discovery_progress_loop — platform_states didn't
include 'qobuz', so WebSocket discovery progress broadcasts were
silently skipping Qobuz playlists. HTTP-poll fallback covers it but
this puts Qobuz on equal footing with the other services.
Qobuz joins Tidal and Deezer as a first-class playlist sync source.
New Qobuz tab on the Sync page lists user playlists + a virtual
Favorite Tracks entry, and clicks route through the same discovery →
sync → download pipeline the other services already use.
Backend:
* core/qobuz_client.py — new get_user_playlists, get_playlist,
get_user_favorite_tracks, get_user_favorite_tracks_count. Returns
normalized dicts (matches Deezer client shape, not Tidal's
dataclasses) so the discovery worker can iterate directly without
duck-typing. Virtual `qobuz-favorites` ID dispatches to favorites
fetcher inside get_playlist — same trick Tidal uses with
COLLECTION_PLAYLIST_ID. Both list endpoints paginate against
Qobuz's 500-cap limit.
* core/discovery/qobuz.py — new worker module. Mirrors
core/discovery/deezer.py: pause enrichment, iterate tracks,
hit discovery cache, fall back to _search_spotify_for_tidal_track,
build wing-it stub on miss, sync results to mirrored playlist.
* web_server.py — adds /api/qobuz/playlists, /playlist/<id>,
/discovery/start/<id>, /discovery/status/<id>, /discovery/update_match,
/playlists/states, /state/<id>, /reset/<id>, /delete/<id>,
/update_phase/<id>, /sync/start/<id>, /sync/status/<id>,
/sync/cancel/<id>. One-for-one with the Tidal + Deezer endpoint
sets. Qobuz discovery executor registered for clean shutdown.
Frontend:
* webui/static/sync-services.js — full handler set (loadQobuzPlaylists,
createQobuzCard, openQobuzDiscoveryModal, startQobuzDiscoveryPolling,
startQobuzPlaylistSync, startQobuzSyncPolling, cancelQobuzSync,
startQobuzDownloadMissing, rehydrateQobuzDownloadModal, etc.).
Reuses the shared YouTube discovery modal via fake `qobuz_<id>`
urlHash and is_qobuz_playlist flag. Shared switch statements in
getModalActionButtons / generateTableRowsFromState / Wing It helpers
in downloads.js gain new isQobuz branches alongside the existing
per-service ones.
* webui/index.html — new Qobuz tab button + content div, slotted
between Deezer and Deezer Link.
* webui/static/style.css — new .qobuz-icon for the tab icon.
* webui/static/core.js — qobuzPlaylists / qobuzPlaylistStates /
qobuzPlaylistsLoaded globals.
Followed the existing per-service pattern verbatim rather than
refactoring the duplicated transformers across Tidal / Deezer /
Spotify-public / YouTube / Mirrored — that refactor is its own follow-up
PR per the "don't break Tidal/Deezer" scope discipline. Adding the 6th
copy of a proven pattern is lower risk than collapsing 5 working
services behind a new abstraction.
Tests:
* tests/test_qobuz_playlists.py — 12 tests covering pagination,
normalization, favorites virtual-ID routing, artist-name fallback
chain (performer → album.artist → 'Unknown Artist'), and
unauthenticated short-circuits.
Three related improvements to the now-playing media player and the
"add to wishlist" / "download missing" modals.
1. Play buttons across track-list modals
Every track row in the download-missing modals (Spotify, Tidal,
YouTube, services, artist album, wishlist download-missing) and
the add-to-wishlist modal now carries a play button. Click runs
playTrackFromLibraryOrStream:
- If the track has a local file_path → playLibraryTrack
- Else POST /api/stats/resolve-track to find it in the library
by title + artist → playLibraryTrack
- Else fall back to _gsPlayTrack streaming
Backend ownership response gains track_id / title / file_path so
the wishlist modal's owned tracks can hand the right metadata
to the player without an extra round trip.
The add-to-wishlist modal previously showed the play button only
on owned tracks; now the button is unconditional so the streaming
fallback can take over for unowned ones (matches the standard
pattern from the rest of the app).
2. Clean media-player display titles
YouTube / Tidal / Qobuz / torrent / usenet plugins encode their
source-side identifier into the filename field as
<source_id>||<display> so download() can recover it later. The
media player's track-title renderer never knew about this
convention and showed strings like
"wvgFsXoGFnQ||Sometimes I Cry When I'm Alone" verbatim in the
now-playing UI. extractTrackTitle and setTrackInfo now strip the
<id>|| prefix defensively so any path into the player gets a
clean display.
Local library playback also fetches canonical metadata from
/api/stats/resolve-track when track.id is present so title /
artist / album / album art come straight from the SoulSync DB
instead of whatever the caller passed in. Falls back silently
to caller values on any error so playback never blocks on the
metadata fetch.
3. Lyrics panel + View Artist close
New collapsed lyrics panel between the playback controls and
queue panel. POST /api/lyrics/fetch (new backend endpoint)
prefers the local .lrc / .txt sidecar files SoulSync writes
during post-processing so downloaded tracks resolve lyrics with
zero network hits; falls back to LRClib exact-match (when album
+ duration are available) then to LRClib search.
Synced LRC results are parsed (handles multi-stamp lines for
repeated choruses), and the active line highlights + smooth-
scrolls into the middle of the viewport on every audio
timeupdate. Plain-text results render without highlighting.
Per-track cache prevents re-fetching when the user revisits the
same track. Lyrics fetch is fire-and-forget — failure shows
"No lyrics found" without ever blocking playback.
View Artist on the expanded player now calls
closeNowPlayingModal before navigating; the modal was previously
sitting open over the artist page, hiding it. Handler is bound
once and is a no-op when no artist_id is attached.
CSS additions are additive (new .modal-track-play-btn and
.np-lyrics-* rules); no existing styles touched. Backend endpoint
returns 200-with-success-false on any miss so callers can render
"no lyrics" without treating it as an error.
WHATS_NEW updated under 2.5.9 with two entries (lyrics + View
Artist close).
Power-user escape hatch on the Discovery Fix Track Match modal — when
fuzzy auto-search ranks the wrong recording among many same-title
versions (10 remasters, live cuts, alt sessions), paste the MusicBrainz
recording URL or bare UUID into the new field and resolve straight to
that record.
Layout:
- Shape adapter `get_recording_flat(mbid)` lives in
`core/musicbrainz_search.py` next to existing `get_track_details`.
Returns the flat Fix-popup track shape (artists as `string[]`,
album as string, single `image_url`) — distinct from the
Spotify-shaped nested dict `get_track_details` returns.
- New route `GET /api/musicbrainz/recording/<mbid>` is a thin wrapper:
validates MBID format with an anchored UUID regex, calls the adapter,
returns 400 / 404 / 200 with no inline shape massaging.
- Frontend `parseMusicBrainzMbid()` lives in `shared-helpers.js` —
pure URL/UUID parser, reusable from other surfaces (failed-MB cache,
manual match) without duplication.
- Fix modal HTML gets one new input row + button; existing search row
and result render pipeline are untouched. New `lookupDiscoveryFixByMbid()`
fetches the endpoint and feeds the single result through the existing
`renderDiscoveryFixResults` -> confirm-dialog -> match pipeline, so MB-
paste matches go through the exact same selection flow as auto-search
results.
- Enter-key bound on the MBID input via a separate handler ref so its
lifecycle matches the search-input handlers without conflating the
two submit targets.
7 unit tests cover the adapter: happy path, empty/None MBID, MB returns
None, recording-without-release (empty album), multi-artist credits,
includes-list contract, and client-error swallow.
Out of scope: the Fix popup's fuzzy cascade is still hardcoded to
spotify/deezer/itunes regardless of which primary source the user has
configured. Adding MB to that cascade (when MB is the active primary)
is a separate concern.
Discord report (CJFC, 2026-04-26): syncing a Spotify playlist to the
server overwrote anything manually added to the server-side playlist.
The fix adds a per-sync mode picker next to the Sync button on the
playlist details modal — Replace (default, current delete-recreate
behavior) or Append only (preserves existing tracks, only adds new
ones). Useful when the source platform caps playlist size and the
user is manually building beyond it on the server.
Implementation:
* New `append_to_playlist(name, tracks)` method on Plex / Jellyfin /
Navidrome clients. Each uses the server's NATIVE append API:
- Plex: `existing_playlist.addItems(new_tracks)`
- Jellyfin: `POST /Playlists/<id>/Items?Ids=...&UserId=...`
- Navidrome: Subsonic `updatePlaylist?songIdToAdd=...`
Falls back to `create_playlist` when the playlist doesn't exist
yet (first sync). No delete-recreate, no backup playlist created
(preserves playlist creation date + metadata + non-soulsync-managed
tracks).
* Dedup-by-server-native-id (ratingKey for Plex, GUID for Jellyfin,
song-id for Navidrome) — never re-adds a track already on the
playlist. Server-native identity, not fuzzy title+artist match,
so it can't false-collide.
* `sync_service.sync_playlist` accepts `sync_mode='replace'|'append'`
kwarg. Single if/else branch dispatches to `append_to_playlist` or
`update_playlist`. Threaded through `core/discovery/sync.run_sync_task`
and the `/api/sync/start` HTTP handler. Validation on the API rejects
unknown mode strings (defaults to 'replace').
* Frontend: per-playlist `<select id="sync-mode-${id}">` rendered next
to the Sync button in both modal renderers (sync-spotify.js for
Spotify playlists, sync-services.js for Deezer ARL playlists).
`startPlaylistSync` reads the select at click time; missing select
(other callers like discover.js) defaults to 'replace' so backward
compat preserved without per-call-site updates.
* SoulSync standalone has no playlist methods at all and the modal
hides the Sync button entirely on it via `_isSoulsyncStandalone` —
dispatch never reaches that path, no defensive fallback needed.
15 new tests pin per-server append behavior:
- missing playlist → create_playlist delegation
- dedup filtering (existing IDs skipped, only new tracks added)
- empty new-track set short-circuits without API call
- failure paths return False without raising
- contract listing (KNOWN_PER_SERVER_METHODS includes
'append_to_playlist'; Plex / Jellyfin / Navidrome all implement)
Plus tests/discovery/test_discovery_sync.py fake `sync_playlist`
fixture got `sync_mode='replace'` default to match the new signature
(was breaking after the kwarg add; now passing).
WHATS_NEW entry under new '2.6.0' block (hidden by
`_getLatestWhatsNewVersion` until next release bump).
Closes CJFC discord request.
