Routes moved to thin parse-args/jsonify handlers; logic now lives in
three focused modules under core/automation/. 436 lines deleted from
web_server.py; 53 added back as wrappers.
Module split:
- core/automation/api.py — CRUD + run + history helpers. Each function
takes (database, automation_engine, ...) explicitly and returns
(response_body, http_status). Includes signal cycle detection
preflight checks for create + update.
- core/automation/progress.py — owns the in-memory progress state dict
+ lock (mirroring the original web_server.py globals as module-level
shared state so all callers see one view), init/update/history
helpers, and the WebSocket emit loop.
- core/automation/signals.py — collect_known_signals for the builder
autocomplete.
Out of scope (deferred):
- _register_automation_handlers — the 23+ action handler closures stay
in web_server.py because each one is tightly coupled to feature-
specific implementations (wishlist, watchlist, library scan, etc.).
- Worker functions (_process_wishlist_automatically, etc.) — belong
with their feature lifts.
- _run_sync_task / _run_playlist_discovery_worker — sync + discovery
PRs.
Behavior preserved 1:1:
- Same route response shapes + status codes
- Same JSON field hydration (trigger_config, action_config,
notify_config, last_result, then_actions)
- Same backward-compat: empty then_actions + notify_type set →
synthesize then_actions from notify_type/notify_config
- Same signal cycle detection behavior on create + update
- Same system-automation protection on delete + duplicate
- Same reschedule/cancel logic on toggle + bulk-toggle + update
- Same progress state shape (status, progress, phase, current_item,
log capped at 50, started_at/finished_at, action_type)
- Same emit-on-finish socketio push from update_progress
- Same emit loop semantics (1s tick, snapshot active states, reap
finished after window)
Pre-existing bugs preserved (will fix in follow-up PRs):
- emit_progress_loop uses naive datetime.now() against tz-aware
started_at/finished_at, so the timeout-zombie check raises
TypeError → caught → never fires, and the cleanup-after-window
check raises → caught → state is reaped on FIRST tick regardless
of the window. Tests document this behavior so the next PR can
flip them to the corrected expectation.
Tests: 72 new under tests/automation/ (signals 10, progress 24,
api 38). Full suite: 861 passing (was 789). Ruff clean.
That source icon hits /api/search — raw slskd file results, the same
flow the UI historically labelled "Basic Search" before the source-icon
row replaced the dropdown. Reverting the label avoids implying it
returns Soulseek-flavoured metadata results in the same shape as the
other source icons.
Backend route + endpoint name unchanged; this is display-only.
Routes moved to thin parse-args/jsonify handlers; logic now lives in
six focused modules under core/search/. 720 lines deleted from
web_server.py; 109 added back as wrappers; ~700 lines of new core code
plus ~700 lines of tests.
Module split:
- core/search/cache.py — TTL+LRU cache for enhanced-search responses,
keyed by (query, active_server, fallback_source, hydrabase_active,
source_tag) so config changes don't poison stale entries.
- core/search/sources.py — per-kind metadata search (artists/albums/
tracks) and the multi-kind ThreadPoolExecutor that fans them out.
- core/search/library_check.py — library + wishlist presence check
with Plex thumb URL resolution; profile-aware wishlist with legacy
fallback for older DBs missing the profile_id column.
- core/search/stream.py — single-track preview search; effective stream
mode resolution, query-variant generation, retry walk, matching
engine integration.
- core/search/basic.py — flat Soulseek file search, quality-sorted.
- core/search/orchestrator.py — main enhanced-search dispatch
(short-query fast path, single-source bypass, hydrabase-primary fan
out, alternate source list builder), NDJSON streaming generator
for /source/<src>, and the SearchDeps dataclass that bundles the
cross-cutting deps.
Routes pass clients (spotify, hydrabase, hydrabase_worker, soulseek)
and helpers (config_manager, fix_artist_image_url,
_is_hydrabase_active, _get_metadata_fallback_*, _run_background_
comparison, run_async, dev_mode_enabled_provider) into core/search via
a SearchDeps bundle built per-request. fix_artist_image_url stays in
web_server.py because it touches 31 other call sites.
Behavior preserved 1:1:
- Same response shapes (db_artists, spotify_artists, spotify_albums,
spotify_tracks, primary_source, metadata_source, alternate_sources,
source_available)
- Same NDJSON line ordering (artists/albums/tracks as they finish, plus
done marker)
- Same per-kind exception swallowing
- Same hydrabase-worker mirror on dev mode
- Same cache key shape (5-tuple) and TTL/LRU semantics
- Same stream-track effective-mode resolution including the
Soulseek-coerce-to-YouTube edge case
- Same library-check Plex thumb URL rewriting and wishlist fallback
for older DBs
Tests: 94 new (cache TTL/LRU/key, sources happy/partial/all-fail,
library presence with library + wishlist + thumbs, stream effective
mode + query gen + retry, orchestrator client resolution + short
query + single source + fan-out alternates + hydrabase primary +
NDJSON drain). Full suite: 788 passing (was 694).
Ruff clean.
Stats route logic moves into core/stats/queries.py as pure-ish functions
that take dependencies (database, image-url fixer, listening worker) as
arguments. The 13 route handlers in web_server.py shrink to thin
parse-args / jsonify wrappers.
What moved to core/stats/queries.py:
- stats_cached: 3-key metadata cache lookup + image url fix-up
- stats_overview / timeline / genres / library_health / db_storage
- stats_top_artists / top_albums / top_tracks: top-N + DB enrichment
- stats_recent: listening_history readback
- stats_resolve_track: title+artist -> file_path lookup for playback
- listening_stats_sync: spawns daemon thread that runs worker._poll
- listening_stats_status: stats payload, with None-worker fallback shape
No behavior change. Same response shapes, same error handling, same
silent-except on per-row enrichment failure. fix_artist_image_url
stays in web_server.py and is passed through as a callback so we
don't have to lift its config_manager / media-server dependencies in
this PR.
Adds tests/stats/test_stats_queries.py — 27 tests covering happy
paths, edge cases, image-url plumbing, worker glue.
Ruff clean. 694 tests pass (was 667 + 27 new).
- Normalize album import track display handling so queue labels and match rows stay consistent
- Bound MusicBrainz caches and avoid caching transient lookup failures
- Stop swallowing programmer errors in source enrichment helpers
- Restore import config test seams without reintroducing lazy imports
- Guard task completion calls and fix the Windows path test expectation
- Keep file lock tracking from growing without bound
- pass the selected manual match through singles import
- keep the import context source-aware so artist and album stay correct
- avoid treating non-Spotify IDs as wishlist Spotify IDs
- make wishlist logging and local variable names source-neutral
Addresses #365 (reported by JohnBaumb), parts 3 & 5. Client-side
IDB / sessionStorage data cache (part 4) deferred to its own PR.
Cover art on Library and Discover used to re-fetch from the source
CDN on every page visit. Now a service worker caches images locally
in CacheStorage with cache-first strategy — second visit serves art
instantly with zero network round-trips. PWA manifest added so the
app is installable to home screen / desktop.
Service worker (`webui/static/sw.js`):
- Cache-first for images: 10 known CDN hosts (Spotify, Last.fm,
Apple, Deezer, Discogs, MusicBrainz CAA, YouTube thumbnails) plus
the local `/api/image-proxy` endpoint plus same-origin .png/.jpg/
.webp/.gif/.svg paths. Cross-origin file-extension matches are
refused so we don't accidentally cache trackers.
- Stale-while-revalidate for `/static/*`: serve cached instantly,
refresh in background. Combined with the existing `?v=static_v`
cache-bust, deploys still ship live (different query → different
cache entry, old ages out).
- HTML / API / everything else: no caching, pass through.
- Cache-versioned (CACHE_VERSION = 'v1'); activate handler wipes any
cache whose name doesn't match the current version.
- skipWaiting + clients.claim so deploys propagate to open tabs
without requiring a full close-and-reopen.
PWA manifest (`webui/static/manifest.json`):
- Standalone display mode, theme color #1db954 (matches --accent-rgb).
- Two icons (192, 512) with both `any` and `maskable` purpose,
generated from favicon.png with aspect-preserving transparent
padding so the existing logo lands inside the safe zone for
OS-applied masks.
Wiring:
- `web_server.py` adds a `/sw.js` route that serves the file from
root scope (a service worker only controls URLs at or below its
served path; `/static/sw.js` would scope to `/static/*` only).
`Cache-Control: no-cache` on the SW response so deploys propagate
on next page load instead of being pinned by the 1yr static cache
the rest of /static/ uses.
- `webui/index.html` adds the manifest link, theme-color meta, and
an apple-touch-icon for iOS.
- `webui/static/init.js` registers the SW on `window.load`.
Feature-detected — no-op on browsers without serviceWorker support
or on non-secure origins (SW requires https or localhost).
One bug caught + fixed during line-by-line self-review:
`_staleWhileRevalidate` could return null to `respondWith()` when
both the cache miss AND the network fetch failed (the `.catch(() =>
null)` collapsed the rejection to null, which then short-circuited
through the falsy chain). Now explicitly awaits the network promise
and falls back to `Response.error()` when it resolves to null —
matches the `_cacheFirst` pattern.
Browser-verified: sw.js registers, status "activated and is running"
in DevTools. 603 tests pass.
Addresses #365 (reported by JohnBaumb), parts 1 & 2 of the proposal.
Service worker, client-side IDB/sessionStorage, and PWA manifest
deferred to follow-up PRs.
1. Static asset cache (CSS/JS/icons/fonts).
`SEND_FILE_MAX_AGE_DEFAULT` flipped from 0 to 31536000 (1 year) in
production. Safe because every static URL is bust-tagged with
`?v=static_v` (computed once per process start), so each server
restart effectively invalidates every cached asset for every user.
Within a single deploy, repeat page loads hit zero round-trips on
static files — was a 304 round-trip per asset before.
Dev override (`SOULSYNC_WEB_DEV_NO_CACHE=1`) keeps it at 0 so
iterating on JS/CSS doesn't need a server restart between edits.
Collateral fixes from the bump:
- Music streaming endpoint (L16140): `response.headers.add('Cache-Control',
'no-cache')` → bracket-assign. Under the old max-age=0, send_file
set `no-cache` and `.add()` duplicated harmlessly. Under the new
max-age=31536000, `.add()` would APPEND a second Cache-Control
value → two conflicting headers, browser-undefined behavior.
Bracket-assign replaces.
- Backup download endpoint (L25181): explicit `Cache-Control:
no-store` on the response so DB backups don't inherit the new
long max-age — sensitive content, must never cache.
2. Discover GET browser cache (5 min).
New `@app.after_request` hook scoped to `/api/discover/` and
`/api/discovery/` paths, GET method, 2xx responses only. Sets
`Cache-Control: public, max-age=300`. Skipped when the endpoint
already set its own Cache-Control. Toggling between Discover
sections within 5 min serves from browser cache, no backend hit.
Try/except wraps the hook body and logs a warning if anything
throws — never let a header-tagging bug turn a successful response
into a 500. (Logging instead of `pass` since silent except-pass is
exactly the anti-pattern issue #369 is about.)
Audited every other Cache-Control set site in web_server.py — only
the two `send_file` callers needed adjustment. Range-branch streaming
uses `Response()` directly, unaffected by the config change.
603 tests pass.
Closes#370 (reported by JohnBaumb).
The /api/settings endpoint and three siblings (/log-level,
/config-status, /verify) had no auth check — any logged-in profile
could read or modify service tokens, OAuth secrets, and API keys.
Cin's "minimum" suggestion from the issue: gate to admin profile.
Added an `admin_only` decorator near `get_current_profile_id` that
returns 403 when the current profile isn't admin (id=1). Applied
to all four endpoints.
Auth model note (documented in the decorator docstring): SoulSync's
existing model is "trust local network" — single-admin / no-multi-
profile installs default `get_current_profile_id()` to 1, so the
gate is a no-op for solo users. The decorator is meaningful in
multi-profile setups where non-admin sessions exist. Tightening to
real per-request auth is out of scope.
Did NOT consolidate with api/settings.py (Cin's "better" suggestion):
that endpoint uses API-key auth (for external tools), the web_server.py
copy uses session/profile auth (for the web UI). Different consumers,
different auth models — merging would break one or the other.
603 tests pass.
Six items from a Cin-style line-by-line pass on PR #383:
- resolve_cors_origins: list of non-string entries (`[None, 123]`) now
drops them instead of coercing to junk strings like `'None'`/`'123'`.
- will_reject: backwards-compat shim removed. Production callers always
pass `request.scheme` (Flask-guaranteed); the shim only existed for
tests/non-Flask callers and made the production code path branchier
than necessary. Tests now pass scheme explicitly.
- maybe_log: redundant `if not origin` early-return dropped. will_reject
handles missing origin (engineio's own behavior — server.py:207).
- RejectionLogger.__init__: `int(dedup_cap)` wrapped in try/except so
bad-type input falls back to DEFAULT_DEDUP_CAP instead of raising.
- web_server.py: docstring on the before_request hook explains why the
hook fires on every request (Flask doesn't scope before_request to a
path prefix; the early-return string compare is the cheapest option).
- settings.js: cors-origins URL regex tightened from `[^\s/]+` to
`[^\s/?#]+` so query/fragment chars don't pass validation. Engineio
would silently fail to match those anyway; better to flag at save.
Test changes:
- parametrize gained an explicit `scheme` column (12 cases updated).
- New explicit case: scheme-mismatch rejects (engineio compares full
`{scheme}://{host}` strings).
- `test_will_reject_falls_back_to_host_only_when_no_scheme_info`
deleted — the shim it tested is gone.
- `test_will_reject_honors_x_forwarded_host` now passes scheme info.
Net: -9 production lines, -3 test lines. Production code path is
straight-line. 603 tests pass.
Self-review nits on PR #384:
- requirements.txt: 5-line comment for one pin → 1 line. Rationale
lives in commit body and #367; no need to repeat in-tree.
- helper.js: dropped `page: 'settings'` from the yt-dlp WHATS_NEW
entry. Settings page has no yt-dlp UI; the link would have
navigated users somewhere irrelevant.
553 tests pass.
Closes#367 (reported by JohnBaumb).
The Docker entrypoint ran `pip install -U yt-dlp --quiet --no-cache-dir`
on every container start. Three problems with that:
- Non-deterministic startup: each restart could pick up a different
yt-dlp version, making "works on my machine" debugging harder.
- Network dependency at boot: PyPI being slow/unreachable gated the
app coming up.
- In-place upgrades inside running containers can race with active
yt-dlp invocations and aren't a great pattern.
Picked Option A from the issue: pin to an exact version in
requirements.txt (`yt-dlp==2026.3.17`) and remove the entrypoint
install entirely. yt-dlp comes baked into the image now via the
existing `pip install -r requirements.txt` in the Dockerfile.
Tradeoff: YouTube fixes ship via SoulSync releases now instead of
"next container restart". The pin is documented inline with how to
bump it.
Net change: -3 entrypoint lines, requirements.txt pin tightened,
WHATS_NEW '2.4.1' block opened (entries hidden until version bumps).
553 tests pass.
Self-review pass on the security fix uncovered five issues, all fixed
here:
1. will_reject scheme handling. Engineio compares full {scheme}://{host}
strings, not just hostnames. A TLS-terminating proxy can leave the
backend seeing http while the browser's Origin is https — engineio
rejects, but the original predictor said "allow" → no helpful log
line. Added request_scheme + forwarded_proto params, build full
candidate strings to match engineio.
2. EITHER-forwarded-header rule. Engineio adds the forwarded candidate
when EITHER X-Forwarded-Proto OR X-Forwarded-Host is present (it
falls back to HTTP_HOST for the missing one). The original predictor
only added it when forwarded_host was set — false negative for
misconfigs sending only X-Forwarded-Proto. Now mirrors engineio.
3. will_reject incorrectly rejected missing-Origin requests. Engineio
(server.py:207: `if origin: validate`) skips CORS validation when
no Origin header is sent — non-browser clients (curl etc.) are
intentionally permitted. The original code rejected them. Test was
asserting the wrong behavior. Both fixed.
4. RejectionLogger had unbounded dedup set growth. A hostile actor
opening connections from many distinct fake origins would fill
memory unboundedly. Capped at 100 unique origins (configurable);
when cap hit, one overflow notice is emitted and further rejections
are silently dropped until restart.
5. Lock pattern: the overflow log path called logger.warning() while
holding the dedup lock, inconsistent with the normal path. Fixed
to pick the message under the lock and log after release. Critical
section is now minimal and uniform.
Plus polish:
- Stale module docstring fixed (said "empty list" instead of "None").
- settings.js validates each cors_origins line against a URL regex on
save; toasts a one-shot warning if entries are malformed (resolver
silently filters them, but user gets feedback now).
- web_server.py wiring passes request.scheme + X-Forwarded-Proto so
the predictor has full proxy info.
Tests:
- 51 unit tests in tests/test_socketio_cors.py (was 45). New cases:
* scheme comparison (5 cases including TLS-terminating proxies)
* forwarded_proto-alone misconfig
* missing-origin matches engineio (was asserting wrong behavior)
* dedup cap with overflow + reset
* default cap is reasonable (uses public DEFAULT_DEDUP_CAP constant)
Engineio behavior independently verified by reading engineio/server.py
and engineio/base_server.py source. Predictor mirrors both files.
604 tests pass.
Closes#366 (reported by JohnBaumb).
Socket.IO was initialized with `cors_allowed_origins='*'`, accepting
WebSocket connections from any origin. A malicious site could open a
WS to a user's local SoulSync instance and exfiltrate live progress /
toast / activity events.
This commit:
- Defaults to engineio's same-origin behavior (`cors_allowed_origins=None`),
which automatically honors X-Forwarded-Host so reverse proxies that
send that header (Caddy / Traefik by default, properly-configured
Nginx) work transparently.
- Adds a `security.cors_origins` config setting + Settings → Security
textarea where users behind unusual proxies / Electron wrappers /
cross-origin integrations can whitelist their origin. Accepts comma
or newline separated values; `*` on its own line opts back into the
legacy wildcard with a startup-warning log.
- Logs a clear warning the first time engineio rejects each unique
origin, naming the rejected Origin and request Host and pointing
users to the settings field. Without this, engineio silently 403s
the upgrade and the user just sees a half-broken UI with no clue
why. Threadsafe dedup so a hostile origin can't spam logs.
Logic lives in `core/socketio_cors.py` (resolver, rejection
predictor, dedup logger class, startup-status emitter) — pure
functions, no Flask dependency. `web_server.py` adds 23 lines of
wiring and imports.
Important catch during review: my first pass used `cors_allowed_origins=[]`
as the "secure default." Reading engineio's source revealed `[]` actually
means "DISABLE CORS HANDLING" (engineio/server.py:202: `if cors_allowed_origins != []:`)
— identical security to `'*'`. Fixed to use `None` (engineio's actual
same-origin sentinel) and pinned with a regression test that asserts
the resolver never returns `[]` for any input shape.
Tests:
- tests/test_socketio_cors.py — 45 unit tests covering 19 resolver shape
cases (None, empty, whitespace, comma, newline, garbage types, lists),
the `[]`-must-never-be-returned security regression, 12 rejection
prediction cases, X-Forwarded-Host handling, dedup logger behavior,
threadsafe race (8 threads × 50 hammers → exactly 1 warning), and
startup-status emitter outputs.
Frontend:
- Settings → Security gains an "Allowed WebSocket Origins" textarea
with help text explaining same-origin default + when to add a domain
+ the `*` opt-out.
- helper.js — new '2.4.1' WHATS_NEW block (hidden until version bump)
with a chill-voice entry describing the change.
Conftest.py left at `'*'` — test environment, no security concern.
598 tests pass.
Trimmed the WHATS_NEW '2.4.0' block (27 entries) and the full
VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS array (23 sections) from the diagnostic-paragraph
style I'd been defaulting to into something terse and casual:
- Descriptions are 1-2 short sentences instead of multi-clause writeups.
- Modal feature bullets capped at 3-7 short items each.
- Stripped parenthetical credits from titles (no more "(kettui Review)",
"(Images, Counts, Title Hints)" — those belong in git history, not UI).
- Lowercase casual tone throughout description bodies.
- No reporter handles in entry text.
Net: 176 insertions / 194 deletions. helper.js parses, 553 tests pass.
The version modal pulled its content from /api/version-info — a 295-line
hand-curated Python dict in web_server.py. The "What's New" panel pulled
its content from WHATS_NEW in helper.js. Same release notes, two files,
two languages, hand-edited at every release — drift was inevitable
(and happened: the kettui-fix entries I added recently differed in
detail between the two surfaces).
This commit makes helper.js the single editing surface:
- Adds VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS const in helper.js right beside WHATS_NEW,
with a comment block documenting the relationship: WHATS_NEW is the
per-version detailed log used by the helper popover; VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS
is the curated highlight reel shown by the sidebar version button. Both
edited at release time, both in the same file.
- Rewires showVersionInfo() in downloads.js to read from those consts
directly. No backend round-trip; the changelog content ships in the
same JS bundle the browser already loaded.
- Deletes the /api/version-info route and its 295-line version_data dict.
- Updates the line-39 comment to drop the now-stale "version-info endpoint"
reference.
Note: this is collocation, not true unification. WHATS_NEW and
VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS are still two distinct structures with overlapping
content, linked by a comment convention rather than a shared schema. A
deeper refactor (e.g. a `featured` flag on WHATS_NEW entries that the
modal aggregates) was rejected as out-of-scope — the curated section
titles ("Earlier in v2.3", "Recent Fixes") aren't 1:1 mappable to
WHATS_NEW entries. Saving for a follow-up if the drift problem persists.
Risk audit:
- Load order: helper.js loads at line 7967, downloads.js at line 7873.
Both classic scripts execute synchronously before any clickable
interaction, so showVersionInfo (only invoked on the version-button
onclick) always sees both consts defined.
- populateVersionModal() unchanged — receives the same {title, subtitle,
sections: [{title, description, features, usage_note?}]} shape.
- Stale-cache window during deploy: old downloads.js hitting a 404 on
the deleted endpoint falls through to the existing catch + toast path
("Failed to load version information"). Cache-buster ?v=static_v
resolves on next page load.
553 tests pass. helper.js + downloads.js parse cleanly. No residual
references to /api/version-info anywhere in the repo.
- _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION → 2.4.0 (was 2.39).
- Migrate WHATS_NEW key '2.40' → '2.4.0', strip unreleased flags off
the 27 entries shipping in this release, set release date.
- Replace parseFloat() version compare with proper int-tuple semver
comparator — parseFloat('2.4.0') and parseFloat('2.4.1') both return
2.4, which would have made future patch bumps invisible to the
What's New surfacing logic.
Five issues kettui flagged on PR #377:
- Worker race (reorganize_queue.py): _next_queued() picked an item and
released the lock, then re-acquired to flip status='running'. A
cancel() landing in that window marked the item cancelled but the
worker still ran it. Replaced with _claim_next_or_wait() that picks
AND flips under one lock acquisition.
- Wakeup race (reorganize_queue.py): _wakeup.clear() after the empty
check could lose an enqueue's _wakeup.set(), parking a freshly-queued
album for up to 60 seconds. Replaced Lock + Event with a single
threading.Condition; cond.wait() releases and re-acquires atomically
on notify.
- Bulk dedupe (reorganize_queue.py:enqueue_many): looped single-item
enqueue, so a duplicate album_id later in the same batch could slip
through if the worker finished the first copy before the loop
reached the second. Now holds the lock for the whole batch and tracks
a per-batch seen set, so intra-batch duplicates dedupe against each
other and not just pre-existing items.
- Preview button stuck disabled (library.js:loadReorganizePreview):
early returns and thrown errors skipped the re-enable line. Moved
state into a canApply flag committed in finally, so any exit path
lands the button correctly.
- DB helpers swallowing failures (music_database.py): get_album_display_meta
and get_artist_albums_for_reorganize used to catch every Exception
and return None / [], so a real DB outage masqueraded as "album not
found" / "no albums". Now lets exceptions bubble; the route layer
already wraps them as 500.
Tests:
- test_cancel_and_run_are_mutually_exclusive — hammers enqueue+cancel
pairs and asserts the invariant that no successfully-cancelled item
ever ran (catches regressions to the atomic pick).
- test_enqueue_many_dedupes_batch_internal_duplicates — pins the
intra-batch dedupe.
- test_get_album_display_meta_propagates_db_errors and
test_get_artist_albums_for_reorganize_propagates_db_errors — pin
the bubble-up behavior.
Changelog updated in helper.js and version modal.
Replaces the single-slot "one reorganize at a time, return 409 on collision"
model with a per-user FIFO queue. Buttons stay clickable, "Reorganize All"
is one backend call instead of an N-call JS loop, and a status panel mounted
at the top of the artist actions bar shows live progress (active item,
queued count, recent completions) with per-item cancel buttons.
Backend
- core/reorganize_queue.py: singleton queue + worker thread, dedupe-on-
enqueue, cancel rules (queued cancellable, running not), enqueue_many
for bulk operations, progress fan-out via update_active_progress
- core/reorganize_runner.py: factory builds the worker's runner closure
with injected dependencies. Reads config per-call so changing the
download path in Settings takes effect on the next reorganize without
a server restart
- database/music_database.py: get_album_display_meta and
get_artist_albums_for_reorganize — moves the SQL out of route handlers
- web_server.py: thin enqueue/snapshot/cancel/clear endpoints, runner
registration at module load. Old _reorganize_state globals + status
endpoint deleted. Static-asset cache buster (?v=<server-start>)
added so JS/CSS updates ship live without users clearing cache
Frontend
- webui/static/library.js: status panel mount, polling (1.5s when
active, 8s when idle), expand/collapse, per-item cancel, debounced
enhanced-view reload (one reload per artist batch instead of N).
Per-album reorganize button paints with queued/running indicator
and short-circuits to a toast when the album is already in queue
- webui/static/style.css: panel + button styling matching the existing
glass-UI accents
- webui/static/helper.js + version modal: WHATS_NEW entry
Tests (22 new)
- tests/test_reorganize_queue.py (19 tests): FIFO order, dedupe,
per-item source, cancel rules, continue-on-failure, snapshot
shape, progress propagation, bulk enqueue
- tests/test_reorganize_runner.py (4 tests): per-call config reads,
setup-failure summary, dependency injection, progress fan-out
- tests/test_reorganize_db_methods.py (7 tests): SQL JOIN behavior,
ordering, fallback for blank strings, artist isolation
Full suite 549 passed in 27s.
Four changes addressing kettui's PR #377 review comments:
1. **`_finalize_track` no longer over-counts on DB failure (🔴 bug).**
The function previously bailed on DB-update failure but
`_process_one_track` still incremented `summary['moved']`
unconditionally — overstating how many tracks the UI knows are
at their new locations. Fixed by:
- `_finalize_track` now returns ``bool`` (True only when DB row
was updated AND original was dealt with)
- Caller checks the return; on False, records as a failed track
with a clear message ("Track landed at new location but DB
update failed — file is at both old and new paths until library
scan re-indexes")
- Existing `test_db_update_failure_leaves_original_in_place` now
also asserts `moved == 0`, `failed == 1`, and that the error
message names the cause
2. **`executeReorganize` toast no longer says "undefined tracks" (🐛
bug).** `/reorganize` doesn't return `result.total` anymore (the
track count is determined server-side after planning), so the
"Reorganizing undefined tracks..." string was meaningless. Now uses
`result.message` from the backend instead.
3. **`_pollReorganizeStatus` distinguishes completed from skipped
(🟡 risk).** Backend now propagates the orchestrator's status
(`completed` / `no_source_id` / `no_album` / `no_tracks` /
`setup_failed` / `error`) into `_reorganize_state['result_status']`
so the frontend can warn appropriately. Two new helpers:
- `_classifyReorganizeOutcome(state)` — returns 'success' only
when `result_status === 'completed'` AND `failed === 0`;
'warning' otherwise
- `_formatReorganizeResultMessage(state)` — returns a message
specific to the outcome ("Reorganize skipped — album has no
metadata source ID. Run enrichment first." for `no_source_id`,
etc.)
Zero-failure non-completed runs now show as warnings instead of
green checkmarks.
4. **Bulk mode no longer counts skipped albums as succeeded (🟡
risk).** `_executeReorganizeAll`'s loop was treating any HTTP
200 response as success, ignoring the orchestrator's actual
outcome for that album. Fixed by:
- `_waitForReorganizeComplete()` now resolves with the final
state object (was: void)
- Loop checks `finalState.result_status === 'completed'` AND
`finalState.failed === 0` before counting `succeeded++`;
otherwise increments `skipped` (with a per-album warning
toast) or `failed` accordingly
- Final summary toast now reads
"Reorganized N of M albums, K skipped, J failed" and only
shows green when nothing was skipped or failed
All four addressed in a single commit because they form one
coherent UX-correctness fix — the bug bug (#1) and the count-
overstatement bug (#4) both made the user see "everything succeeded"
when reality was different. Together they make the UI honestly
reflect what actually happened.
Files:
- core/library_reorganize.py — `_finalize_track` returns bool,
`_process_one_track` reads it
- web_server.py — `_reorganize_state['result_status']` populated
from orchestrator's summary on success and on exception
- webui/static/library.js — `_classifyReorganizeOutcome` /
`_formatReorganizeResultMessage` helpers, single-album +
bulk-mode flows both consume them
- tests/test_library_reorganize_orchestrator.py — strengthened
the existing DB-failure test to assert moved/failed counts

precisely with line numbers and severity.
Reported on Discord by winecountrygames. The library "Reorganize" tool
had several layered bugs that all traced to the same root cause: the
endpoint reinvented every wheel post-processing already turns — its own
template engine, its own disc-number resolution from file tags, its own
sidecar sweep, its own collision detection — and each had drifted from
the canonical path used by fresh downloads. Reported symptoms:
- 3-disc Aerosmith deluxe collapsed to a flat single-disc layout
- Half the tracks on other albums silently skipped, no error / no count
- Re-runs left empty leftover album folders cluttering the artist dir
Architecture: stop reinventing wheels. Route reorganize through exactly
the same pipeline downloads use. Per-album:
1. Fetch the canonical tracklist from a metadata source (Spotify /
iTunes / Deezer / Discogs / Hydrabase) using the album's stored
source IDs. New `core/library_reorganize.py::plan_album_reorganize`
does this — primary-source-first, fall through priority chain
unless the user picked a specific source in the modal (strict mode).
2. For each local track, find the matching API entry via a scored
candidate matcher. Score components: exact-title (100),
substring-with-length-ratio (40-90), track-number agreement (20).
Hard reject when the two titles have different version
differentiators (Remix vs no-remix means different recordings,
not annotation drift). Below threshold = unmatched, surfaced as
"not in source's tracklist, left in place" rather than silently
mis-routing.
3. Copy the file to a per-album staging directory, build the same
context dict the import flow builds (`spotify_album` /
`track_info` / etc. with `is_album_download=True` so the path
builder enters ALBUM mode, not SINGLE mode), call
`_post_process_matched_download(...)` — same function fresh
downloads use. Post-process handles tagging, multi-disc subfolder
decisions, sidecar regeneration, AcoustID verification.
4. Read `context['_final_processed_path']` to learn where it landed.
Update `tracks.file_path` in the DB BEFORE removing the original
(DB-update failure leaves the file at both locations, recoverable
via library scan; the reverse would orphan the row). Delete
per-track sidecars (post-process recreates them at the new
destination).
3 concurrent workers per album via ThreadPoolExecutor, matching the
download path's per-batch worker count. State mutations all guarded by
a single lock; staging filenames carry a UUID prefix so concurrent
copies of identically-named source files don't overwrite each other.
Source picker in the modal lets the user choose which source to read
the tracklist from. Two endpoints feed it:
- `/api/library/album/<id>/reorganize/sources` — sources for THIS
album that are both authed AND have a stored ID. For the per-
album modal.
- `/api/library/reorganize/sources` — all authed sources globally.
For the bulk "Reorganize All" modal where per-album ID coverage
varies.
When the user picks a specific source, the orchestrator runs in
`strict_source=True` mode (no fallback chain) — picking Spotify means
"use Spotify or fail", not "use Spotify and silently fall back."
Preview endpoint shares the same planning logic as apply via
`preview_album_reorganize` — the destination path comes from the same
`_build_final_path_for_track` post-process uses, so what you see in
the preview is exactly what you get on apply.
Empty destination folders (from earlier failed runs OR from the
current run when post-process creates a dir then fails AcoustID)
get cleaned up after each successful run: walk up to the artist
folder from any successful destination, prune empty album-sibling
folders one level deep. Bounded scope = won't touch unrelated user
dirs.
Web_server.py shrinks by ~450 net lines. The endpoint handler is now
a thin wrapper that builds injected callables (path resolver, post-
process function, DB updater, empty-dir cleaner), spawns a thread
that calls `reorganize_album()`, and returns. All actual logic lives
in `core/library_reorganize.py` where it's unit-testable without
spinning up Flask.
Frontend cleanup: the per-call template input in both reorganize
modals (per-album and bulk) was redundant — the backend always uses
the configured global download template. Removed the input and the
variables-grid reference UI it was for.
39 new unit tests pin every contract:
- source resolution (no_source_id when album has none, fallthrough
chain when primary returns nothing, strict mode bypasses fallback)
- matcher scoring (exact / substring / multi-disc disambiguation /
smart-quote tolerance / dash-vs-parens / bonus-track substring /
Remix-vs-original differentiator rejection / "Real" doesn't false-
match "Real Real Real" / track-number-only no longer fires)
- file safety (DB-update failure leaves original in place, post-
process failure leaves original in place, post-process exception
caught and original preserved, success removes original AND
updates DB in the right order)
- sidecar handling (per-track .lrc/.nfo deleted on success, kept on
failure; album-level cover.jpg/folder.jpg cleaned only when
directory has no remaining audio)
- staging cleanup (recreated between tracks because post-process
nukes it, dir cleaned up on success AND on failure)
- destination-dir prune (empty siblings removed, real album with
files preserved, no recursive sweep)
- source picker (only authed-with-stored-ID sources for per-album,
all authed sources for bulk; strict mode doesn't fall back)
- concurrency (3 workers in flight, state stays consistent under
races, stop_check cuts off pending tasks)
- preview parity (preview produces same destination as apply for
multi-disc; ALBUM mode not SINGLE mode; unmatched/no-path tracks
surfaced with reasons)
Limitations (deliberate punts, NOT in this PR):
- Renamed local titles on multi-disc albums where track_number
also disagrees: matcher returns nothing (track is "not in
source"). Fixable by using duration_ms as a tertiary signal.
- Per-track in-modal source switching with per-album track-count
hints (would need a second API call before opening the modal).
- UI status panel on the artist page during a run — currently
just toasts. Documented as a follow-up PR.

Reported on Discord by winecountrygames — his bug report named the
trigger button (Enhanced view → Reorganize All) and both symptoms
(multi-disc collapse, half-album skip), which let the diagnosis go
straight to the architectural problem.
Reported on Discord by winecountrygames — Spotify auth granted, then
re-banned for 4 hours within ~30 seconds, repeatedly. Trace from his
captured log:
< 12:05 [pre-log] Spotify ban active when log starts
15:21:27 First ban EXPIRED → 5-minute post-ban cooldown begins
15:26:27 Cooldown ends, spotify_client.is_authenticated() probe
allowed again → client initialized
15:26:59 First Spotify API call after cooldown — get_artist_albums
for an artist whose discography a background worker was
enriching — gets 429 immediately with no Retry-After
header → new ban activated for 14400s (4 hours)
Root cause: `_POST_BAN_COOLDOWN = 300` (5 minutes) is shorter than
Spotify's actual server-side memory of the previous offense. The
cooldown exists specifically to prevent the "ban expires → we probe →
re-ban" cycle (`spotify_client.py:65-68` documents that intent
explicitly), but the value was wrong: Spotify's server still
considered this user banned 5 minutes after our local ban window
ended, so the very first call after cooldown got slapped.
The 4-hour re-ban itself is correct behavior — `_BASE_MAX_RETRIES_BAN`
fires when spotipy reports "max retries", which means the client
exhausted its internal retry budget on 429s before raising. That's a
severe-ban signal and a long default is the right response.
Fix: bump `_POST_BAN_COOLDOWN` to 1800 seconds (30 min). This is the
smallest change that addresses the immediate "re-probe → re-ban" loop
in the report. 30 minutes is an empirical floor — long enough for
Spotify to actually clear its server-side memory in the cases we've
observed, short enough not to keep functional users locked out beyond
necessary. Can be revisited if reports persist.
What this PR does NOT fix (important context for the same user):
This bump only helps the "ban expires → we re-probe → re-ban" loop.
It does NOT help winecountrygames's other symptom — Spotify being
banned within 30 seconds of his FIRST EVER authorization (no prior
ban). That's a separate failure mode: on first auth, enrichment
workers immediately fan out across the user's library (250 artists
in his case), hammering Spotify endpoints with bulk get_artist_albums
calls before any rate-limit feedback can land. Spotify's hidden
per-endpoint daily quotas — which BoulderBadgeDad has empirically
documented but the global rate limiter doesn't see — flag the burst
and impose a multi-hour cooldown that LOOKS like a bot-detection ban
to us. A proper fix needs a fresh-auth ramp-up: start with very low
Spotify QPS for the first N minutes, scale up only if no rate-limit
feedback arrives. That's a separate PR.
Documented as additional follow-ups (NOT in this change):
- Adaptive cooldown that scales with the size of the previous ban —
a 4-hour MAX_RETRIES ban probably warrants a 1-hour cooldown,
while a 60-second Retry-After-honored ban can resume in 5 minutes.
The system already distinguishes these in `_set_global_rate_limit`,
it just doesn't propagate the distinction to cooldown duration.
- Probe-with-light-call pattern — make the first post-cooldown call
a single inexpensive endpoint (`current_user`) rather than
allowing a background worker's heavy `get_artist_albums` to be
the canary. Failed probe extends cooldown silently instead of
triggering a fresh 4-hour ban.
- Fresh-auth ramp-up (per the limitation above).
Files:
- core/spotify_client.py — `_POST_BAN_COOLDOWN` 300 → 1800. Comment
expanded to cite the report so the value isn't bumped back without
context.

the change for affected users.
No tests added — the cooldown logic itself is unchanged, only the
constant. Tests asserting on a constant value are theater.
Reported on Discord by winecountrygames — his captured log made the
"ban-expires-to-re-ban" timing chain unambiguous.
Reported on Discord by Netti93: with Tidal configured for "HiRes only"
and "Allow Quality Fallback" disabled, tracks were still downloading
successfully — as m4a 320kbps files. Some "successful" downloads were
less than half the file size of the same track pulled via Tidarr/tiddl
from the same Tidal account.
Root cause: Tidal's API silently degrades to the best quality your
account + the track + your region permits. Setting
`session.audio_quality = Quality.hi_res_lossless` and calling
`track.get_stream()` on a track that's only available in AAC returns
an AAC stream with no error. The downloader wrote the m4a file to
disk, the ~7MB size sailed past the 100KB stub threshold, and the
download reported success.
The pre-existing "verify quality wasn't silently downgraded" block
only LOGGED a warning when this happened; it did not fail the tier.
Two knock-on effects:
- Users with "HiRes only, no fallback" got m4a files anyway, which
defeats the setting entirely.
- The worker-level fallback chain (hires → lossless → high → low)
couldn't advance past the first tier, because every tier
"succeeded" at whatever Tidal happened to serve.
Fix: after `track.get_stream()`, compare `stream.audio_quality`
against the tier we asked for using a rank-based ordering:
LOW < HIGH < LOSSLESS < HI_RES < HI_RES_LOSSLESS
- Same tier or higher → accept (so the occasional Tidal upgrade
doesn't get rejected just because it's not an exact match).
- Lower tier → reject THIS tier. The loop `continue`s and the next
fallback tier is tried, or the whole download fails honestly
when the user has fallback disabled. The existing final-error
log already has a hint directing users to enable fallback if
they want automatic Lossless substitution.
- Unrecognized `audioQuality` value (e.g. a new Tidal tier we
haven't mapped) → reject conservatively, so the next fallback
tier gets a chance and the diagnostic log names the unknown
value.
Why the rank-based approach instead of strict equality:
Tidal's API doesn't technically promise an exact-tier match on
serving; on tracks that are flagged in its catalog as a higher
tier, it can serve higher than the session setting. Rejecting
higher-than-asked quality would be user-hostile. And the `HI_RES`
(legacy MQA) value — not in tidalapi's modern `Quality` enum but
possibly still present on old catalog entries — needs to rank
below `HI_RES_LOSSLESS`: users asking for true lossless HiRes
should reject MQA since MQA is a lossy format.
tidalapi's `Quality` enum is a `str` subclass whose VALUES (not
member names) match what the Tidal API returns in the
`audioQuality` field (e.g. `Quality.hi_res_lossless.value ==
'HI_RES_LOSSLESS'`, `Quality.low_320k.value == 'HIGH'`). Both
sides of the comparison are coerced to `str` before use, so the
check is robust to whichever tidalapi version exposes the served
quality as an enum or a plain string.
The check is extracted as `_verify_stream_tier(stream, q_info,
q_key) -> (ok, reason)` at module scope — a pure function with no
I/O, unit-tested independently. Ten tests: match, three upgrade
cases (LOSSLESS → HI_RES_LOSSLESS, LOSSLESS → HI_RES, LOW → any
higher), three downgrade cases (the reported HiRes → AAC, HiRes
Lossless → MQA HiRes, Lossless → AAC), one unrecognized-tier case,
and two defensive paths for older tidalapi builds without
`audio_quality` on the stream object and for QUALITY_MAP entries
that lack `tidal_quality` (e.g. tidalapi wasn't importable at
module load). Test stub updated to use uppercase `Quality` values
matching real tidalapi so case-sensitivity regressions get caught.
Also removed the old codec-string-based warning block — the new
tier check is strictly stronger, and keeping the warning around
would just be dead code waiting to drift out of sync.
Deliberately NOT tackling in this PR (documented as follow-ups):
- Bit-depth verification of HiRes FLAC files via mutagen. The
`stream.audio_quality` tier check catches the main "HiRes
requested, got AAC" case; bit-depth would only matter if Tidal
labeled a stream HI_RES_LOSSLESS but served a 16-bit FLAC
(`Stream.bit_depth` isn't reliable for this — tidalapi defaults
missing `bitDepth` fields to 16, so a trust-the-stream check
would spuriously reject valid HiRes whenever Tidal omits the
field). A proper fix runs mutagen post-download to inspect the
actual file, then decides whether to delete + retry the next
tier — a whole new failure mode with design trade-offs that
deserve their own PR. The support logs don't show this
happening.
- The "manual remap still says Not Found" symptom. Might be
downstream of this same bug (silent-AAC "success" hitting a
later rejection), might be a separate task-state issue. Not
guessing without logs from the retry path.
- Quality-aware stub threshold. 100KB is a reasonable floor for
real stub/preview detection and there's no evidence the
universal threshold is misfiring in the wild.
Field-verified status: desk-verified via unit tests and empirical
checks against a live tidalapi import (confirming the `Quality`
enum's str-subclass behavior). Not yet smoke-tested end-to-end
against a real Tidal account with a HiRes-only-no-fallback
setting — Netti93 or anyone else with that config should notice
either the fix working (non-HiRes tracks fail honestly with a
clear log line) or any regression before wider release.
Files:
- core/tidal_download_client.py — new `_verify_stream_tier` helper
and `_QUALITY_RANK` table at module scope, called in the
download loop after the stream is fetched and before any
bandwidth is spent. Removed the old inline codec-based warning
since the new check supersedes it.

match / upgrade / downgrade / unknown / defensive paths.

Reported on Discord by Netti93 — the "same account works via
Tidarr" comparison narrowed the cause to SoulSync's download path
rather than an account/region issue.
Reported by sassmastawillis: the Album Completeness maintenance job
scans 3127 albums in 0.1 seconds and reports 0 findings — for every
user, regardless of whether their library is actually complete.
Restoring an older DB surfaced 7 correct findings, so the code logic
works; the DB state is what's making everything look complete.
Root cause: `albums.track_count` is only ever written by server-sync
paths — Plex's `leafCount`/`childCount` and SoulSync standalone's
`len(tracks)`. It's the OBSERVED count of tracks SoulSync has indexed,
which is always exactly what `COUNT(tracks)` returns for that album.
The completeness job treated it as the EXPECTED total and compared it
against the observed count. They're equal by construction, so
`actual >= expected` is always true: skip, 0.1s scan, 0 findings.
Fix: new `api_track_count INTEGER` column on `albums`, written only by
metadata-source code paths. Populated in two places so the scan is
fast and the fallback is robust.
1. Enrichment workers — shared helper `set_album_api_track_count`
in `core/worker_utils.py`. Called by each worker's existing
`_update_album` method alongside its other album-column UPDATEs:
- spotify_worker: `album_obj.total_tracks` from the Spotify Album
dataclass (already in hand, zero new API calls)
- itunes_worker: same, from the iTunes Album dataclass
- deezer_worker: `nb_tracks` from full_data, falling back to
search_data when the full lookup didn't run
- discogs_worker: count of tracklist rows where `type_=='track'`
(Discogs tracklists interleave heading and index rows that
shouldn't count as songs)
Helper skips the write on zero/None/negative/non-numeric inputs
so a source lacking track info can't clobber a good value a
different source already wrote. Caller owns the transaction —
helper just queues an UPDATE on the caller's cursor without
committing, so it batches cleanly with each worker's existing
multi-UPDATE pattern.
Hydrabase worker deliberately not touched — it's a P2P mirror
that doesn't write album metadata to the local DB. Hydrabase-
primary users hit the fallback path below.
2. Album Completeness repair job — new `al.api_track_count` column
in the SELECT, read first in the scan loop. On miss (album never
enriched, or enrichment workers haven't run yet on a fresh
install), falls through to the existing `_get_expected_total()`
API lookup and persists the result via the same shared helper
(wrapped in connection/commit management since the repair job
runs outside a worker's batched transaction).
Also removed `al.track_count` from the scan's SELECT — now unused
since the observed count was the whole source of this bug, and
leaving a dead SELECT would invite a future engineer to re-introduce
the same comparison.
Help text on the job card was reworded so it honestly describes
current behavior ("counts cached during normal enrichment are used
when available; otherwise the job queries a metadata source
directly") rather than the old "active provider first, then others
as fallback" phrasing, which doesn't match how the cache actually
fills — any enrichment worker that runs can populate it, and the
last writer wins. Document-only follow-up if this edge case ever
bites in practice: add a `api_track_count_source` column so the
scan can prefer the configured primary source's count over others
(e.g. deluxe vs. standard edition mismatches). Not worth the
complexity today.
For existing users, the first completeness scan after upgrade is
fast to the extent their library is already enriched: the workers
already ran and populated `api_track_count` on their normal schedule.
For brand-new installs, the scan's fallback path handles the cold
start — slower, but correct, and subsequent scans are fast.
Does NOT affect:
- Download / post-processing / wishlist / sync code paths — none
of them read `track_count` for completeness semantics.
- Plex / Jellyfin / Navidrome / standalone sync — still write
`track_count` exactly as before; `api_track_count` is a separate
column they never touch.
- Other repair jobs.
- Any UI path — same finding schema, just correct counts now.
Files:
- database/music_database.py — idempotent migration adding
`api_track_count INTEGER DEFAULT NULL` to the existing album-column
check block.
- core/worker_utils.py — new `set_album_api_track_count` helper with
the documented skip-on-bad-input contract.
- core/spotify_worker.py, itunes_worker.py, deezer_worker.py,
discogs_worker.py — one-liner call from each `_update_album`.
- core/repair_jobs/album_completeness.py — scan uses the cache;
fallback path persists API-lookup results via the shared helper;
help text updated to match actual behavior.

the helper's write/skip contract + no-commit invariant.
- tests/test_album_completeness_job.py — 2 tests for the repair
job's fallback-path wrapper.
- webui/static/helper.js — WHATS_NEW entry.
Credit: sassmastawillis spotted the bug; the "restored older DB
finds 7 albums" signal pinpointed DB state over code logic and
made the diagnosis tractable.
Three bugs from kettui's follow-up review pass on the MusicBrainz
search PR, all fixed in one commit because they share UI context.
1. Missing artist images on MB artist results
MusicBrainz doesn't store artist images directly. My earlier commit
returned `image_url=None` on every artist result and trusted the
frontend's lazy-loader — but the lazy-loader's `/api/artist/<id>/image?
source=musicbrainz` endpoint had no handler for MusicBrainz, so it
silently returned None and the emoji placeholder stayed.
Fix plumbs the artist name through:
- `renderCompactSection` stashes `data-artist-name` on artist cards.
- `search.js` and `downloads.js` lazy-loaders pass `name=<artist>` as a
query param.
- `/api/artist/<id>/image` accepts an optional `name` param.
- `metadata_service.get_artist_image_url` has a new `musicbrainz`
branch: since MB has no artist art, it searches fallback sources
(iTunes/Deezer by configured priority) for the artist name and
returns the first image found.
Verified live — Metallica/Kendrick Lamar/Daft Punk all resolve to
Deezer artist images via the name lookup.
2. total_tracks off-by-one on tracks with a release
`_recording_to_track` initialized `total_tracks = 1` and then summed
media track-counts on top. For an 11-track album, it reported 12. An
adapter-level regression introduced when the recording-projection
helper was extracted during the main MB refactor.
Fix: initialize at 0, sum normally. Standalone recordings with no
release (can happen for uncredited remixes etc.) still report 1 via
an explicit fallback — so the existing "single track" case isn't
broken.
3. "Artist Album Title" queries buried specific albums in the
discography list
Bare-name queries like "The Beatles Abbey Road" used to resolve "The
Beatles" as the artist and then browse their full discography — Abbey
Road was buried alphabetically among 200+ releases instead of being
the top result.
Fix adds a title-hint extractor. When the query starts with the
resolved artist name followed by more words, the trailing portion is
treated as a title hint. Browse results are filtered to those whose
release-group title contains the hint. If the filter matches nothing,
falls back to text-search with the hint as the title (the "keep the
old split-by-whitespace fallback" path kettui called for). If text-
search also misses, shows the full discography rather than nothing.
10 new tests in tests/test_musicbrainz_search.py (46 total):
- Title-hint extractor: basic match, case-insensitive, whitespace
tolerance, bare-artist-no-hint, artist-not-prefix-no-hint, word-
boundary required (no false splits on "Metallicasomething").
- Browse filtering by title hint.
- Text-search fallback when the title hint matches nothing in browse.
- Bare-artist queries return the full discography unfiltered.
- total_tracks for single-release, multi-disc, and no-release cases.
Self-audit catch: my earlier cover-art commit claimed 'the frontend's
<img onerror> fallback handles 404s' — that was wrong. The enhanced
search result images in shared-helpers.js renderCompactSection and all
five gsearch-item/track templates in downloads.js render bare
`<img src="...">` with no fallback. With the MusicBrainz adapter now
emitting Cover Art Archive URLs deterministically (no HEAD probe),
albums that don't have cover art would show the browser's broken-image
icon instead of the emoji placeholder.
Two fallback shapes:
- shared-helpers.js renderCompactSection: the `<img>` sits inside a
card with a sibling placeholder pattern. On error, replace the img's
outerHTML with the placeholder div, matching the shape used when
config.image is missing entirely.
- downloads.js gsearch items: the `<img>` sits inside a
`.gsearch-item-art` div whose default text content is the emoji fallback
(🎤 / 💿 / 🎶 / 🎵). On error, set parentElement.textContent to the
emoji, which wipes the img and shows the glyph. Same shape as the
"no image_url" branch.
Applies to every card type that renders a user-provided image URL so
the fix covers all sources that might return 404s — MB is the most
common offender but iTunes/Deezer/Discogs can all miss too.
Tested against the live MB API: Metallica albums without CAA cover art
now show the 💿 emoji instead of a broken-image icon.
The source-picker refactor introduced a new stable DOM structure inside
`#gsearch-results`:
<div id="gsearch-results"> <!-- max-height: 60vh, flex-col -->
<div id="gsearch-source-row" /> <!-- icon row, controller-rendered -->
<div id="gsearch-fallback-banner" />
<div id="gsearch-body" /> <!-- surface renders results here -->
</div>
But the companion CSS never landed. `#gsearch-body` had default block
layout, so when results exceeded the 60vh cap, they clipped silently
instead of scrolling. The old structure had `.gsearch-results-body`
with `overflow-y: auto; flex: 1` directly inside the panel; that rule
still exists but its selector now matches a nested div with no flex
parent, so `flex: 1` is a no-op and overflow doesn't trigger.
Fix: give the three stable children the right flex behaviour so the
body fills remaining space and scrolls.
- `#gsearch-source-row` and `#gsearch-fallback-banner` stay at natural
height (flex-shrink: 0).
- `#gsearch-body` grows (flex: 1 1 auto), can shrink below content
height (min-height: 0 — this is the critical bit, otherwise flex
items won't shrink below their intrinsic size and overflow never
triggers), and scrolls vertically.
Styled scrollbar matches the rest of the panel (4px, translucent thumb).
26 new unit tests in tests/test_musicbrainz_search.py covering:
- Cover Art URL construction (release + release-group scope, empty MBID,
unknown scope fallback)
- Structured query splitting (hyphen, en-dash, em-dash, bare name, no
false-positive splits on hyphens-inside-words)
- Artist search: score filtering, strict=False call contract, exception
handling, genre extraction from MB tags, mbid/name validation
- Top-artist resolver: memoization by normalized query, sub-threshold
returns None, negative-result caching, empty-query short-circuit
- Album search routing: bare query → browse path, structured query →
text path, no-artist-match falls back to text, text path score filter
- Track search routing: browse path, dedupe-by-title across
live/compilation variants, structured query → text path, text path
score filter
All mock the underlying MusicBrainzClient — no network calls.
Also adds a WHATS_NEW entry under 2.40 explaining the three user-visible
changes: Artists section now populates, album/track results match the
searched artist instead of random title collisions, and search completes
in ~3 seconds instead of 30+.
Clicking 'View Discography' on the Discover hero slideshow was calling
navigateToArtistDetail(id, name) without the third 'source' argument.
loadArtistDetailData then omits the `source` query param, so
/api/artist-detail falls through to a local DB lookup and returns 404
for artists that don't exist in the library — which is nearly every
hero artist, since they come from discover similar-artists.
Regression from the unification PR (93f1941) that rewrote the click
handler to route through the standalone /artist-detail page instead
of the old inline Artists view. The rewrite didn't thread the source.
Backend already includes `artist.source` on each hero entry. Fix:
- Stash artist.source as data-source on #discover-hero-discography
when displayDiscoverHeroArtist populates the card.
- Read data-source in viewDiscoverHeroDiscography and pass it as the
third arg to navigateToArtistDetail, so the eventual API call
includes `?source=itunes/deezer/etc.` and returns the synthesized
discography.
Reproduced by clicking View Discography on a non-Spotify hero artist
(log showed `GET /api/artist-detail/76258852?name=ДЕТИ+RAVE → 404,
Getting artist detail for ID: 76258852 (source=library)`).
Two bugs in the previous review-fix commits, found during a Cin-standard
re-audit:
A) Soulseek handoff stale state.query overrode the global widget's query
The previous fix pre-set basicInput.value before clicking the Search
page's Soulseek icon. But the click triggers onSoulseekSelected with
the controller's CURRENT state.query — which is whatever the user
last typed on /search, not the global widget's query. The Search
page callback then ran `if (query) basicInput.value = query;` and
overwrote the just-set value with the stale one before firing
performDownloadsSearch.
Fix: expose searchController as `_searchPageController` (mirrors
`_searchPageRestoreOnEnter` already at module scope). Global
widget's _gsNavigateToSearchPage syncs `_searchPageController.state.query`
to its own query before clicking the icon. Also added a fallback
for the case where the icon doesn't exist yet (controller still
mid-init): swap sections + run performDownloadsSearch directly.
B) Single _requestSeq token leaked loadingSources across sources
The earlier "stale request" fix used one global _requestSeq. But
when the user switched Spotify → Deezer mid-fetch, the Spotify
abort's catch block bailed (1 !== 2), leaving 'spotify' in
loadingSources forever — permanent spinner on the Spotify icon
even though no fetch was running for it.
Fix: per-source `_sourceRequestIds[src]` map. Same-source
supersession bails (correct), cross-source supersession still
clears the old source's loadingSources entry (correct).
Bonus defensive: submitQuery now invalidates every per-source token
and aborts the in-flight fetch when the query string changes. Catches
the residual edge case where user clears the input — the in-flight
fetch's settle would otherwise write stale data into the just-cleared
state.sources.
Cin flagged that Soulseek was always rendered as configured in the
source picker, even on dev instances with no slskd set up — letting
users click it and fire searches that could never succeed.
Three coordinated changes:
1. web_server.py SERVICE_CONFIG_REGISTRY: add Soulseek entry requiring
`slskd_url`. /api/settings/config-status now reports its real state
alongside every other service.
2. shared-helpers.js _ALWAYS_CONFIGURED_SOURCES: drop 'soulseek'. The
set is now just MusicBrainz + YouTube Music Videos (sources that
genuinely don't need user creds). Soulseek goes through the normal
config-status code path.
3. shared-helpers.js openSettingsForSource: special-case Soulseek to
route to Settings → Downloads tab (where slskd URL field lives,
gated behind the download-source-mode dropdown) and scroll to the
#soulseek-url input. Every other source still routes to Connections
and scrolls to its .stg-service card. Without this, Soulseek's
"click to configure" landed on a Connections card that doesn't
exist (Soulseek's URL/key fields are scoped to the download-source
selection on the Downloads tab).
Two AI-review findings from Cin (kettui) on the source-picker PR:
1. Soulseek handoff from global widget went through metadata flow
_gsNavigateToSearchPage(query, 'soulseek') wrote the query into
#enhanced-search-input and dispatched an input event. The Search
page controller's activeSource was whatever its default was
(spotify, deezer, etc.), so the debounced submitQuery ran the
enhanced /api/enhanced-search flow instead of the raw Soulseek
file search. The `src` parameter was effectively ignored.
Fix: when src === 'soulseek', pre-fill #downloads-search-input
directly and click the Search page's Soulseek icon. The icon click
triggers the controller's onSoulseekSelected callback, which owns
the section swap and re-runs performDownloadsSearch against the
value we just wrote to the basic input.
2. Stale in-flight requests cleared loadingSources after fast retype
createSearchController._fetchSource awaits the fetch result, then
unconditionally mutates state.loadingSources / state.sources in
the settle and catch blocks. When a user typed "abc" → fetch
started → typed "abcd" before the first fetch returned, the
second submitQuery aborted the first fetch and started its own.
The first fetch's catch (AbortError) then ran and cleared
loadingSources for that source — wiping the spinner the new
request had just set, and causing a brief flash of empty/error
state while the new fetch was still in flight.
Fix: monotonic _requestSeq token. Each _fetchSource call captures
the next value (++_requestSeq). Settle / catch blocks (and the
YouTube NDJSON streaming loop) bail before mutating shared state
if requestId !== _requestSeq. Existing abortCtrl behavior unchanged
— this is a layered defense for the catch-clobber pattern that
abort alone can't prevent.
The navigate-back fix from the previous commit was being immediately
undone by the document outside-click handler. Race:
1. Click on sidebar nav-button → button handler runs synchronously,
eventually calling _searchPageRestoreOnEnter → _renderFromState →
showDropdown removes `hidden` class
2. Click event bubbles up to document
3. Document outside-click handler sees dropdown is now visible, sees
the click target is a nav-button (not inside the search wrapper or
the source row), calls hideDropdown → instantly hidden again
Fix: defer the _renderFromState call to setTimeout(0). The macrotask
runs AFTER the click event finishes propagating, so by the time the
dropdown becomes visible, the document outside-click handler has
already short-circuited (it saw the dropdown still hidden).
User reported having to delete + retype the last character of the
query to force a re-render — which worked because the input event
listener fires submitQuery, which routes through the controller
without going through the deferred path.
Cin flagged two related UX issues during PR review:
1. The "Show Results / Hide Results" toggle next to the search bar served
no real purpose — there was nothing else on the Search page worth seeing
instead of results, so toggling visibility was always pointless overhead.
2. Navigating away from /search via a sidebar link dismissed the dropdown
(the click was caught by the outside-click handler). Coming back left
the input populated but the results hidden, requiring a Show Results
click or a fresh search. The cached state was intact in the controller
the whole time — just not rendered.
Both fixed by the same direction: dropdown visibility becomes a pure
function of query state, never user-toggleable. The closure now exposes
`_searchPageRestoreOnEnter` so subsequent calls to `initializeSearchModeToggle`
re-render from the controller's cached state instead of early-returning.
Removes the button HTML, click handler, `updateToggleButtonState` function,
the desktop + responsive CSS for `.enhanced-search-btn`, and the orphaned
`.btn-icon` rule. Net -94 lines.
The hourly `clean_search_history` automation was crashing with
`'DownloadOrchestrator' object has no attribute 'base_url'`. The guard
was written before the orchestrator refactor — `soulseek_client` is now
a DownloadOrchestrator that wraps individual download clients, with the
real Soulseek client sitting at `.soulseek`.
Two other call sites in web_server.py (lines 2634, 3092) already used
the correct `soulseek_client.soulseek.base_url` pattern with a getattr
guard. This call site was missed during the refactor.
Fix: reach through the orchestrator the same way the other sites do.
Both the Search page and the global search widget ran the same source-
picker state machine (query, activeSource, per-query cache, fallbacks,
loading set, configured-source discovery, NDJSON streaming for YouTube,
default-source fall-forward). That was ~380 lines of near-duplicated
logic split across search.js and downloads.js, which meant every bug fix
or behavior tweak had to land twice and inevitably drifted.
createSearchController in shared-helpers.js now owns all of that. Each
surface passes per-surface wiring — a source-row DOM element, a CSS
class prefix, and callbacks for Soulseek handoff + unconfigured-source
redirect — and consumes the controller's state via an onStateChange
callback. The surface files shrink to their actual responsibilities:
results rendering, click handlers, and surface-specific visibility.
Zero UX change. Every keystroke, icon click, cache hit, rate-limit
fallback, and unconfigured-source redirect behaves identically to before
— verified via full pytest suite (395 passed) and node --check on all
three files.
WHATS_NEW entry added under the 2.40 unified-search bucket.
The new components shipped this PR (source icon row, fallback banner,
glow aura, library-empty search CTA) had no responsive styling. On
phones the rows ran fine via horizontal scroll but the chips wasted a
lot of space per icon, the CTA could overflow on narrow screens, and
the aura kept its desktop-sized ellipse for no benefit.
At ≤768px (tablet/phone):
- Enhanced source row: tighter padding, 24x24 glyphs, 72px chip
min-width.
- Global widget source row: even tighter, 20x20 glyphs, 62px chips.
- Fallback banners scale down to match.
- Aura shrinks to a 440x160 / 540x200 ellipse and a 180px-tall strip
so it doesn't eat short mobile viewports.
- Library empty CTA allows text wrap + reduced padding so the
"Search online for "long artist name"" string doesn't break the
layout on narrow screens.
At ≤480px (phone):
- Enhanced chips drop to 44px min-width.
- Global widget chips drop to 40px.
- Both hide the source-name label, showing icon + tooltip only — the
full 8-source row now fits or scrolls minimally at that scale.
- Aura narrows further to 140px tall.
- Library CTA nudges down to 12px font.
Adds a subtle radial glow at the bottom of the viewport that emanates
from the floating search bar, fades outward toward both window corners,
and shrinks vertically as it moves away from the bar. Makes the bar
easier to spot at a glance without a heavy full-width bar or a chrome
strip.
- New `.gsearch-aura` fixed element, 260px tall, full width, pointer
events off. Radial-gradient with the accent color centered at the
bottom middle; colour stops taper 620x230px by default, ramping to
820x280px and brighter when the bar is focused/active.
- `_gsUpdateVisibility` hides the aura on /search alongside the bar
via a simple `.hidden` class.
- Focus handler adds `.active` to the aura in step with the bar;
`_gsDeactivate` removes it. z-index 99990 (below the bar at 99998,
above most page content).
When a user types an artist name into the library search and gets no
hits, the old empty state just said "No artists found — try adjusting
your search or filters." Dead end for the common case of "I searched
for someone I don't own yet."
The empty state now detects when libraryPageState.currentSearch is
non-empty and swaps in a CTA that hands the query off to /search:
"kendrick" isn't in your library
They might be available on a connected metadata source.
[🔍 Search online for "kendrick" →]
Clicking the button navigates to /search, pre-fills the enhanced search
input, and dispatches an input event so the existing debounced search
fires automatically. Uses the same hand-off pattern _gsNavigateToSearchPage
already uses for Soulseek, so the Search page's source-picker flow
picks up naturally from there.
No change to the generic empty state (no query active) or to any other
library page behaviour.
The picker used to render every source whether or not the user had
credentials for it. Clicking Discogs with no token, Hydrabase with no
URL, or Spotify with nothing saved would fire a doomed fetch — at best
a silent empty state, at worst a confusing fallback to another source.
Now the picker reads /api/settings/config-status (the same endpoint the
Settings → Connections page already uses for the green/yellow status
dot) on init and dims icons whose service isn't set up. Clicking a
dimmed icon navigates to Settings → Connections and scrolls to the
relevant service card with a brief accent-coloured pulse to orient
the user.
Sources the backend's SERVICE_CONFIG_REGISTRY doesn't cover
(musicbrainz, youtube_videos, soulseek) are permanently treated as
configured — they need no user credentials, so dimming them would
mislead.
Extra guard: if the user's configured primary metadata source is
itself unconfigured (Spotify saved as primary but no client_id yet),
`_initDefaultSource` falls forward to the first configured source so
the default active icon is never a "set up" chip.
Shared helpers:
- fetchSourceConfiguredMap() centralizes the config-status lookup for
both surfaces. Falls back permissively if the endpoint fails so the
picker never stops working over a network hiccup.
- openSettingsForSource(src) navigates to Settings → Connections and
scrolls to `[data-service=src]`, pulsing a 2.2s accent flash
(.stg-service-flash) so the user doesn't lose their place.
CSS:
- .unconfigured: 42% opacity, 0.7 grayscale filter, subdued hover
state with no transform/glow (feels "look but don't touch"),
defensive override to kill brand glow if somehow active.
- @keyframes stg-service-flash-anim for the scroll-to highlight.
The global search popover already draws its own frosted-glass panel
(via .gsearch-results), so putting another bordered/gradient container
around the source icons inside it read as "panel inside a panel" —
visually noisy and left a dark empty strip on the right when the row
didn't fill the popover width.
Strip the source row's own background/border, center-align the chips
(justify-content: center) so they stay grouped instead of drifting to
the left, and keep a subtle bottom divider so the icons still read as
a distinct control group above the results.
Dresses up the bare chip row so the picker reads as a deliberate piece of
UI rather than a utility bar. Both the Search page (.enh-source-*) and
the global widget (.gsearch-source-*) get the same treatment.
- The row itself is now a frosted-glass panel (subtle white gradient,
inner highlight, rounded 14px / 12px corners, outer shadow) so the
picker feels unified instead of a loose strip of buttons.
- Chips bumped: min-width 90px (row) / 72px (widget), bigger padding,
12px rounded corners, subtle linear gradient top-to-bottom, 30px icons
(up from 22px) with a drop-shadow for depth.
- Hover lifts the chip by 1px with a darker drop-shadow and brighter
border — cheap but effective microinteraction.
- Active state is brand-themed per source: the chip's background
becomes a top-weighted gradient in the service's colour, the border
matches, and an outer brand-coloured glow (6-22px blur) surrounds it.
scale(1.03) pops it above neighbours. Label bumps to 700 weight when
active. Same treatment for Spotify / Apple Music / Deezer / Discogs /
Hydrabase / MusicBrainz / Music Videos / Soulseek.
- Cache dot gets a brand-coloured glow and a subtle 2.4s pulse so the
"already fetched this query" hint is visible without being loud.
- Fallback-warning icons get an amber tint on both border and outer
ring to match the existing fallback banner colour.
Three follow-up fixes after browser testing:
1. Clicking a source whose results are already cached was closing the
results dropdown. The outside-click handler treated the icon click
as "outside" because the icon row lives above the input wrapper, not
inside it. The icon click handler now calls stopPropagation so the
document handler never runs. Also added an `#enh-source-row`
whitelist to the search-page outside-click handler as a second
layer of defense.
2. The icon chips used generic emojis (🎵, 🍎, 🎶, etc.) which don't
convey brand identity. SOURCE_LABELS now carries a `logo` URL per
source (mirroring the existing constants in core.js): the real
Spotify / Apple Music / Deezer / Discogs / MusicBrainz / Hydrabase /
Soulseek brand logos render as <img> inside the chip. Music Videos
stays on emoji since the codebase has no YouTube-specific logo
constant. renderSourceRow (Search page) and _gsSourceRowHtml (global
widget) both honor the new field; loading state still overrides
with an hourglass.
3. When Soulseek was selected, the icon row appeared clipped at the
top of the page. Caused by the flex parent (.downloads-main-panel)
compressing the row when .search-section.active competes for space
with flex-grow:1. Added `flex-shrink: 0` + explicit `overflow-y: visible`
on both .enh-source-row and .gsearch-source-row so the row keeps
its natural height even under layout pressure. Logo <img> elements
got explicit 22x22 / 18x18 containers so they render at chip scale
without the inline font-size hack.
The existing 2.40 WHATS_NEW entry described the short-lived "Search
from" dropdown that preceded this redesign. Updated to describe the
icon row + per-query cache + rate-limit fallback banner + global widget
parity that actually ships.
Click-for-help annotations and the "First Download" tour now point at
`#enh-source-row` (the new icon container) instead of the deleted
`.search-source-picker-container` dropdown and the deleted
`.enh-source-tabs` post-search tab bar. Adjusted the enhanced-search
tips so "multi-source tabs compare results" doesn't mislead — the
icons above the bar are how you compare now.
Version stays at 2.39 — the 2.40 WHATS_NEW section is accumulating
under the "Search & Artists unification" umbrella and will publish
when the whole 2.40 cycle ships.
Matches the Search page redesign so both surfaces behave identically.
The sidebar popover previously always fan-out-fetched all sources on
every keystroke (via _gsFetchSourceStream streaming NDJSON for every
alternate) and exposed a post-search tab bar to switch views.
Now:
- The popover renders an always-visible source icon row at the top, one
icon per source (Spotify, iTunes, Deezer, Discogs, Hydrabase,
MusicBrainz, Music Videos, Soulseek).
- Typing fetches only the currently-selected source. No fan-out.
- Clicking a different icon: cache hit -> instant re-render; cache miss
-> single-source fetch + render.
- Per-query cache cleared on query change; cache dots on icons show
which sources already have results for the current query.
- Default active source read from /api/settings (metadata.fallback_source)
on first focus; falls back to Spotify.
- Fallback banner shown when the backend served a different source than
the one clicked (rate-limit auto-fallback).
- Soulseek icon click navigates to /search with the query pre-filled,
since the raw file list doesn't fit the popover. The Search page
takes over rendering from there.
Gone: _gsFetchSourceStream (fan-out), _gsRenderTabs, _gsSwitchSource,
_gsState.altAbortCtrl, per-section _loading sets.
Added: _gsInitDefaultSource, _gsFetchSource, _gsFetchYouTubeVideos,
_gsSourceRowHtml, _gsFallbackBannerHtml, _gsSetActiveSource,
_gsNavigateToSearchPage.
The Search page previously fired a primary /api/enhanced-search request
plus a fan-out loop (_queueAlternateSourceFetches / _fetchAlternateSource)
that streamed NDJSON from /api/enhanced-search/source/<src> for every
other configured source. One search = 7 API calls across Spotify, iTunes,
Deezer, Discogs, Hydrabase, MusicBrainz, and YouTube Music Videos. The
post-search tab bar then let users switch views between the results that
had already been fetched.
This changes the default to explicit per-source selection:
- The old <select id="search-source-select"> dropdown and the
<div id="enh-source-tabs"> post-search tab bar are replaced by a
single always-visible icon row (#enh-source-row) above the search
bar. One button per source, horizontal-scroll on narrow screens.
- Typing fetches only the currently-selected source. No fan-out.
- Clicking a different icon switches to that source and fetches it
on demand, unless results for this query are already cached.
- Per-query cache (Map keyed by source) is cleared whenever the query
changes; cached icons show a small dot, loading icons show a spinner.
- Soulseek is a first-class icon in the row — selecting it routes to
the existing raw-file basic search, no change to that renderer.
- YouTube Music Videos is its own icon, still uses the NDJSON stream
endpoint for incremental rendering.
- Default active icon reads metadata.fallback_source from /api/settings
on init; falls back to Spotify.
- Rate-limit fallback (backend serves Deezer when Spotify is banned)
surfaces as an amber banner above results plus an amber border on the
clicked icon, so users understand why the returned results don't
match the source they picked.
SOURCE_LABELS in shared-helpers.js gains an 'icon' field per source and
a new SOURCE_ORDER constant for the canonical picker order. The fan-out
functions (_queueAlternateSourceFetches, _fetchAlternateSource,
renderSourceTabs, window._switchEnhSourceTab) are gone.
Backend untouched — POST /api/enhanced-search already supported a
`source` param for single-source mode; we were just never using it by
default. Global widget redesign to match is the next commit.
These three utilities lived inside search.js — the fetch helper at module
scope, and SOURCE_LABELS plus renderCompactSection as closures inside
initializeSearchModeToggle. The global search widget in downloads.js
already depends on enhancedSearchFetch via global scope and re-implements
the rendering inline.
Hoist all three to shared-helpers.js so both surfaces share the same
implementations. No behavior change — this is the refactor step that
precedes the source-picker redesign.
Also adds a 'soulseek' entry to SOURCE_LABELS for the upcoming icon row.
Four fixes from the review:
**library.js — back button stack (JohnBaumb):**
Replace the single-slot `artistDetailPageState.originPage` with an origin
stack. Chained navigation like Search → Artist A → similar Artist B →
similar Artist C now walks back one step at a time (C → B → A → Search)
instead of jumping straight to Search and skipping A and B.
`navigateToArtistDetail` takes an optional `{skipOriginPush}` flag so the
back button can re-enter a prior artist without re-pushing onto the stack.
Fresh entries from a non-artist page clear any stale stack from a prior
chain. Duplicate-click detection avoids pushing the same target twice.
Label derivation (`_updateArtistDetailBackButtonLabel`) reads the stack top
so the button says "Back to <ArtistName>" mid-chain and "Back to Search"
at the root.
**library.js — checkArtistEnhanceEligibility after library upgrade (Cin):**
The quality-analysis endpoint only works on library PKs. After the
library-upgrade branch rewrites `currentArtistId` from the source ID to
the library PK, the check was still using the original closure arg, so
upgraded source artists never hit `/api/library/artist/<id>/quality-analysis`.
Use `artistDetailPageState.currentArtistId` so the call gets the resolved id.
**init.js — isPageAllowed + home page recursion (Cin):**
- artist-detail is reachable from both Library and Search results now, so
permission check accepts either grant (plus legacy 'downloads'/'artists'
aliases). Search-only profiles can open source artists; legacy artists-only
profiles no longer recurse on the home redirect.
- `getProfileHomePage` rewrites 'artists' → 'search' (it already rewrote
'downloads') so legacy home_page values resolve correctly.
- Legacy-compat expanded in isPageAllowed to treat 'artists' as equivalent
to 'search' in both directions.
**init.js — profile edit forms dropping values on save (Cin):**
Both pageLabels maps (admin edit form + self-edit form) referenced the
legacy 'downloads'/'artists' keys. When editing a profile saved with
`home_page: 'search'` and `allowed_pages: ['search', 'library']`, the
home select didn't render a 'search' option, and the allowed_pages
checkboxes used 'downloads' as their value — so saving the form dropped
both values.
Update both maps to use 'search' as the canonical key. Add
`_normalizeLegacyAllowedPages` and `_normalizeLegacyHomePage` helpers that
migrate any legacy ids in allowed_pages/home_page on read, so a legacy
profile's first save upgrades its stored ids to the new canonical form.
The sticky .sidebar-header had two layered issues that let nav items
show through it while the user scrolled the sidebar:
- its background was a single linear-gradient of rgba() stops,
starting at ~14% accent on transparent — the upper portion of the
header was effectively translucent
- .sidebar > * sets z-index 1 on every sidebar child, so the header
and the nav buttons share a stacking level. Sticky alone doesn't
lift the header; with equal z-index the nav wins on DOM order
Layer the existing accent gradient over a solid rgb(18, 18, 18) base
(visual unchanged, fully opaque), and bump the header to z-index 2 so
it paints above the nav buttons as they scroll under it.
Cin: arriving at artist-detail from Search/Discover/Watchlist
highlighted the Library sidebar entry, which is misleading — the user
didn't navigate via Library. The hardcoded mapping was a holdover from
when artist-detail was reached only from the (now retired) Artists page.
Drop the special case so artist-detail behaves like playlist-explorer:
no [data-page] match in the sidebar, no highlight. The user's actual
origin page is already preserved on the back button.
The deep-link fallback in _getPageFromPath (artist-detail → library)
is left intact: if someone pastes /artist-detail in the URL bar with
no state to render, library is still the most sensible landing page,
and sidebar-highlighting Library in that scenario is correct because
they're literally on Library.
On the unified Search page the results dropdown was dismissed three
ways that didn't match user intent:
- clicking an album row called hideDropdown() before opening the
download modal, so the dropdown was already gone by the time the
modal closed
- clicking a track row did the same
- clicking the play button on a track row did the same
- the outside-click handler treated a click inside the download
modal (its close button or backdrop) as a click outside the
dropdown, dismissing it on modal close
Reported by Cin: "clicking an album in the search results opens a
download modal as expected, but closing said modal also hides the
search results in the same go."
Drop the explicit hideDropdown() calls from those three handlers and
whitelist .download-missing-modal in the outside-click handler. The
dropdown now persists across the click + modal lifecycle so the user
can pick another result without re-running the search. Artist clicks
still dismiss because they navigate to /artist-detail.
The global search popover keeps its existing dismiss-on-click
behaviour — its high z-index conflicts with the modal stack and
auto-dismiss is the right pattern for a Spotlight-style popover.
helper.js click-for-help annotations had ~10 entries pointing at DOM
elements from the retired inline Artists page (#artists-search-input,
#artists-back-button, #artists-results-state, #artists-cards-container,
#artists-hero-section, .artists-hero-name/badges/genres/bio/stats,
#artist-detail-watchlist-btn/-settings-btn, .artist-detail-tabs,
#albums-tab, #singles-tab, #album-cards-container, #singles-cards-
container) plus #similar-artists-section pointing at the legacy id
(now #ad-similar-artists-section on the standalone page).
Replaced the dead Artists-page block with annotations that target
elements actually present on the standalone /artist-detail page:
.album-card, .completion-overlay, #ad-similar-artists-section,
.similar-artist-bubble, plus a new entry for .search-source-picker-
container on the unified Search page.
docs.js: 'How to: Set Up Auto-Downloads' step 1 used to read 'Search
for artists on the Artists page and click the Watch button on each
one'. Updated to 'Find artists via the Search page (or click an
artist anywhere in the app), then click the Watch button on the
artist detail page' — matches the post-unification flow.
Backend API endpoint references in docs.js (/library/artists, etc.)
are unrelated to the retired frontend page and stay as-is.
The Top Tracks sidebar play button on the artist-detail page (and the
same buttons on the Stats page) called /api/stats/resolve-track and
gave up with a 'Track not found in library' toast on a miss.
Now when the library lookup misses, falls through to /api/enhanced-
search/stream-track — the same Soulseek/YouTube/streaming-source
pipeline the search-results play button uses. So Last.fm popular
tracks, recent plays, and stats artist top tracks all play even if
you don't own the track yet.
Library hit still wins (faster, full quality). Only on miss does it
escalate to streaming. Final error toast updated to reflect both
paths having been tried.
The library completion stream calls updateLibraryReleaseCard once per
release as ownership resolves. The handler was still updating the OLD
card markup (.completion-text + .completion-fill / .completion-bar),
so cards rendered with the new .completion-overlay badge stayed stuck
in the pulsing 'Checking…' state forever.
Now updates the new structure in place:
- Toggles the .completion-overlay state class (checking → completed
/ nearly_complete / partial / missing) which the existing CSS uses
to colour and stop the checking-pulse animation.
- Rewrites the inner .completion-status text:
Owned → '✓ Owned'
Partial → 'X/Y' (75%+ → nearly_complete badge, else partial)
Missing → 'Missing'
- Sets a tooltip on the overlay with detailed track counts.
Per-card .release-card.checking class also gets removed when state
resolves (stops the whole-card opacity pulse).
The standalone /artist-detail page rendered releases via createReleaseCard
in a stacked layout: square image on top, then title, then year, then a
completion bar — all inside a 300px-tall card with internal padding. The
inline Artists page (now retired) used a richer treatment: full-bleed
artwork with a dark gradient overlay and the title + year pinned at the
bottom. This commit brings that look to the standalone page.
Card markup (still .release-card so all the existing JS filter +
state hooks work, plus .album-card for the visual):
<div class="release-card album-card" ...>
<div class="album-card-image" data-bg-src="..."></div>
<div class="completion-overlay [state]">
<span class="completion-status">...</span>
</div>
<div class="album-card-content">
<div class="album-card-name">title</div>
<div class="album-card-year">year</div>
</div>
[optional .mb-card-icon]
</div>
Image loads lazily via the existing observeLazyBackgrounds /
data-bg-src plumbing in core.js — call moved into populateRelease-
Section so each batch of new cards gets observed.
Completion overlay (top-right floating badge):
- Library artists: 'Checking…' / '✓ Owned' / 'N/M' / 'X%' / 'Missing'
based on release.owned + track_completion shape (existing logic
preserved, just rendered as a badge instead of a bar).
- Source artists (no library data): omitted entirely. The card just
shows artwork + title + year, which is what the user asked for.
CSS: scoped overrides under #artist-detail-page .release-card.album-card
neutralize the old release-card background gradient, internal padding,
fixed 300px height, and flex column layout. Cards become aspect-ratio:1
square with overflow:hidden so the image fills and the gradient + text
sit on top.
Filter state (data-is-live / data-is-compilation / data-is-featured)
still tagged on each card so the Include filter group keeps working.
Smoke: library Kendrick Lamar should now look like the inline Artists
page used to — square cards, big artwork, name + year on the bottom.
Source-clicked artist (Schoolboy Q from Deezer) shows the same
visual without the completion overlay.
The "← Back to Library" button on /artist-detail was hardcoded to
navigate back to the Library page regardless of where the user came
from. Now it captures the originating page and labels/routes
accordingly.
navigateToArtistDetail captures currentPage at call time (before the
swap to artist-detail) and stashes it on
artistDetailPageState.originPage. Falls back to library when the
origin can't be determined or when chaining detail-to-detail (e.g.
clicking a Similar Artist on the detail page).
Back button label now adapts:
- From Library card click → "← Back to Library"
- From Search result → "← Back to Search"
- From Discover hero / Your Artists → "← Back to Discover"
- From Watchlist artist detail → "← Back to Watchlist"
- From Wishlist / Stats / Explorer / Automations / Dashboard etc.
→ corresponding labels
- Unknown origin → "← Back to Library"
Click handler navigates to the captured origin instead of always
going to library. State is cleared on click so a fresh artist-detail
view starts clean next time.
Two bugs from the source-artist click flow:
1. After the backend's library upgrade kicks in (clicking a Deezer
result for an artist you already own routes through the library
path), the response's data.artist.id is the library PK while
artistDetailPageState.currentArtistId still held the source id.
Toggling Enhanced view then fired
/api/library/artist/<source_id>/enhanced which 404'd because the
source id isn't a library PK.
loadArtistDetailData now updates currentArtistId from
data.artist.id whenever they differ — Enhanced view, completion
checks, server sync etc. all use the right id.
2. The Similar Artists section is part of the standard view and was
staying visible when Enhanced view toggled on. toggleEnhancedView
now hides #ad-similar-artists-section in the same flow that
hides .discography-sections.
Three issues from screenshots:
1. .collection-overview was hidden for source artists (CSS rule too
aggressive). It actually renders fine — just shows 0/N "missing"
for each release type, which is useful info. Removed from the hide
rules.
2. #artist-hero-sidebar (Top Tracks "Popular on Last.fm") was also
hidden. The renderer (_loadArtistTopTracks in library.js) already
fetches by artist name via /api/artist/0/lastfm-top-tracks, so it
works for source artists too. Removed from the hide rules.
3. Clicking a source-artist result for someone you ALREADY have in
the library was loading the bare source view instead of the
library view (bug). Backend now does a "library upgrade" lookup
in get_artist_detail: when the direct ID lookup misses but a
source param is provided, search the artists table by the source-
specific ID column (deezer_id / spotify_artist_id / etc.). If a
match exists, use that library PK and the rest of the library
path runs normally — owned releases, enrichment, completion
bars, all the goodies you'd see if you'd clicked from Library.
Falls back to a name match within the active server, then to the
source-only response if nothing matches.
The remaining library-only items (artist-enrichment-coverage, Radio
button, Enhance Quality button) stay hidden for source artists since
they all require owned tracks.
Source artists landing on /artist-detail were rendering an almost-blank
hero — image + name + a tiny Download button — because the backend
response only had {id, name, image_url, server_source: null, genres: []}.
The library.js renderers do their best with what they have, and that
wasn't much.
Backend changes (_build_source_only_artist_detail):
- Set the source-specific ID field (deezer_id / spotify_artist_id /
itunes_artist_id / discogs_id / soul_id / musicbrainz_id) on
artist_info so the corresponding service badge renders on the hero.
- Try the source's own get_artist_info / get_artist for genres +
followers (Spotify always; Deezer/iTunes/Discogs when available).
Spotify also fills image_url if metadata_service.get_artist_image_url
came up empty.
- Last.fm enrichment by artist name — bio + listeners + playcount +
lastfm_url. Mirrors what library artists get from the cached
enrichment workers but on demand for source artists.
- All enrichment lookups are wrapped in try/except so a 500 from any
one source doesn't break the whole response.
Frontend (library.js populateArtistDetailPage):
- Watchlist button now initialises for source artists too. Falls back
to artist.id + artist.name when there's no canonical Spotify
identity (which is the common case for non-library artists).
Discography dedup opt-out:
- Added dedup_variants flag to MetadataLookupOptions (default True so
library artists are unchanged). Source-only path now passes
dedup_variants=False so every "Deluxe Edition" / "Remastered" /
"Anniversary" variant the source returns is shown — matches the
inline /artists page behaviour the user was comparing against.
Result: source artists' hero now shows badges + bio + listeners +
playcount + watchlist button + genres in addition to image and name.
Discography lists every release the source returns, not the deduped
canonical view.
Completes the artist-detail unification. Source artists now land on
the same /artist-detail page as library artists (with the source-aware
backend endpoint from earlier this session handling the data fetch).
The inline Artists page is gone — artists.js deleted, #artists-page
HTML block removed, /artists URL aliases to /search.
Source-artist callsites re-migrated from selectArtistForDetail to
navigateToArtistDetail (search results, global widget, download
modal, Discover hero / Your Artists cards / artmap context / genre
deep-dive, watchlist artist detail).
Visual upgrade to standalone hero: added .artist-detail-hero-bg +
.artist-detail-hero-overlay (blurred image bg, dark gradient — same
treatment as the inline page). library.js sets the bg image when
loading an artist.
Library-only UI hidden via CSS for source artists (existing rules
from the previous commit cover Enhanced toggle, Status filter,
completion bars, enrichment coverage, Top Tracks sidebar, Radio /
Enhance buttons).
Final 2 helpers (lazyLoadArtistImages used by wishlist-tools,
showCompletionError used by completion checker) moved from
artists.js into shared-helpers.js. The inline-page candidate set
was dropped from _resolveSimilarArtistsTargets.
init.js: 'artists' alias added at top of navigateToPage (same
pattern as the existing 'downloads' alias). 'case artists:' handler
removed from loadPageData. _getPageFromPath now maps artist-detail
to library as its parent (matches the existing nav highlight at
init.js:2161).
tests/test_script_split_integrity.py: artists.js removed from
SPLIT_MODULES; KNOWN_CROSS_FILE_DUPES updated to point escapeHtml
at shared-helpers.js instead of artists.js. 354/354 tests pass.
Net delta: -1700 lines.
Stays at 2.39. Once you've verified end-to-end (library artist ->
hero looks like inline visual; source artist from Search -> same
page, similar artists works, no 404s; /artists URL -> /search), a
follow-up commit bumps to 2.40 with the full WHATS_NEW entry that's
already prepped.
The bubble click handler hardcoded selectArtistForDetail (the inline
Artists page navigator). On the standalone /artist-detail page it
fired but couldn't actually navigate anywhere — the page just
re-rendered the similar-artists section for the same artist instead
of moving to the clicked artist.
Now: detect whether the standalone page is active. If yes,
navigateToArtistDetail(id, name, source). Otherwise fall back to
selectArtistForDetail for the inline page (unchanged behaviour
there). Both surfaces work correctly without the caller having to
know which page they're on.
First increment of the artist-detail unification redesign. Delivers
the two most-visible missing pieces for source artists without touching
the hero layout — that's a later commit.
Changes:
- HTML: new #ad-similar-artists-section inside #artist-detail-main
(scoped IDs with 'ad-' prefix so they don't collide with the inline
Artists page, which has the same section using base IDs).
- shared-helpers.js: similar-artists helpers (loadSimilarArtists +
display/progressive/createBubble + lazy image loader) moved out of
artists.js. New _resolveSimilarArtistsTargets() resolver picks
whichever candidate set has a `.page.active` ancestor, so the same
function works on both the inline Artists page and the standalone
artist-detail page without caller changes.
- library.js populateArtistDetailPage: sets
document.body.dataset.artistSource = 'library' | 'source' before
rendering, and fires loadSimilarArtists(artist.name) after
populating the rest of the page.
- style.css: body[data-artist-source='source'] rules hide
library-only UI on the artist-detail page — Enhanced view toggle,
Status (owned/missing) filter, completion bars, enrichment
coverage, Top Tracks sidebar, Radio / Enhance Quality buttons,
"X owned / Y missing" section-stats counts. CSS-only, additive,
library artists completely unaffected.
Impact today:
- Library artists: Similar Artists section now appears at the
bottom of their detail page (previously only the inline Artists
page had it). All other UI unchanged.
- Source artists: still route to the inline Artists page (Part B
reverted earlier this session). The standalone page is now
source-ready infrastructure-wise, but source artists don't reach
it yet. A later commit will re-migrate source callers to the
standalone page once the hero rendering is also source-ready.
artists.js shrinks from 1903 -> 1584 lines (similar-artists block
extracted). shared-helpers.js grows correspondingly. 357/357 tests
still pass. No version bump — this is still 2.39 pending.
Part D + E of the deferred cleanup + the final version bump that
publishes the whole Search/Artists unification project.
Deletions:
- webui/static/artists.js (1903 lines) — removed entirely. The 2
remaining externally-referenced helpers (lazyLoadArtistImages +
showCompletionError) moved into shared-helpers.js first.
- webui/index.html — 140-line #artists-page HTML block and the
<script src="artists.js"> tag both removed.
init.js wiring:
- 'case artists:' removed from loadPageData switch (no page to init).
- navigateToPage top-level alias extended: 'artists' → 'search'
(same pattern as the existing 'downloads' → 'search' alias).
Legacy /artists bookmarks land on the unified Search page, the
natural place to find an artist now.
- _getPageFromPath now maps artist-detail → library as its parent
(was artists). Matches the existing library-nav-highlight at
init.js:2161.
Version bump:
- _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION 2.39 → 2.40.
- WHATS_NEW entries lose the 'unreleased' scaffolding and gain a
new top entry summarizing the unified artist-detail page + the
final artists.js retirement.
- version-info modal gets a 'Search & Artists Unification' section
at the top.
- The _getLatestWhatsNewVersion filter added during the unreleased-
tracking phase is rolled back — entries now display as soon as
they land in WHATS_NEW, matching the pre-unification behaviour.
Test suite:
- tests/test_script_split_integrity.py SPLIT_MODULES updated:
'artists.js' dropped, 'shared-helpers.js' added. escapeHtml's
cross-file dupe list entry updated to reference shared-helpers.
- 354/354 tests pass.
User-visible result after this commit:
- Sidebar: Search, Downloads, Discover, Library, Wishlist, etc. —
no more Artists entry.
- Click any artist anywhere: lands on the same /artist-detail page.
- Search page has a source dropdown; Soulseek is just another option.
- Legacy /downloads and /artists URLs alias to /search.
- Version button shows v2.3 (Docker major); "What's New" panel
opens to the unification summary.
Closes the project Cin requested in Discord. Future work: source-aware
/api/artist-detail could be extended to fall back through the whole
source priority chain when a specific source is given but returns no
discography. Not needed for the current flows.
Part B of the deferred unification cleanup. Now that Part A teaches
/api/artist-detail/<id> to fall back to a metadata-source lookup when
the library DB lookup misses, source-artist clicks can finally land
on the standalone page without 404ing — the goal Phase 4a aimed for
and had to roll back in commit 19e9174.
Re-migrating the seven callsites reverted earlier in this session:
- search.js enhanced-search source-artist onClick
- downloads.js _gsClickArtist (global widget non-library branch)
- downloads.js _navigateToArtistFromModal fallback
- discover.js viewRecommendedArtistDiscography
- discover.js viewDiscoverHeroDiscography
- discover.js 'Your Artists' card navAction inline onclick
- discover.js 'Your Artists' info-modal 'View All' button
- discover.js artist-map context menu
- discover.js genre-deep-dive artist click
- api-monitor.js watchlist discography view
Each replaces the navigateToPage('artists')+setTimeout+selectArtist-
ForDetail dance with a single navigateToArtistDetail(id, name,
source) call. The third arg seeds artistDetailPageState.currentArtist-
Source, which library.js now reads and forwards as ?source= to the
backend (added in Part A).
Effect: clicking an artist in any of these surfaces now lands on the
standalone /artist-detail page with a stable URL, source context
preserved, and owned-library data merged in when available. Library
artist clicks (unchanged) and media-player / stats links (unchanged)
all continue to use navigateToArtistDetail too, so they now
consistently share one destination.
The inline Artists page (#artists-page + selectArtistForDetail in
artists.js) still exists but has no external callers left — only the
page's own internal search-result click handler references the
function now. Parts D + E will delete the dead inline page and
finally remove artists.js.
Part A of the deferred unification cleanup. The standalone artist-
detail endpoint used to 404 whenever `artist_id` wasn't a local library
primary key, which is exactly what source artists (Deezer/Spotify/
iTunes/etc.) have. That forced the Phase 4a revert: source artists had
to use the inline Artists page because this endpoint couldn't handle
them.
New behaviour:
- Library PK path — unchanged. Existing callers see the same response.
- `/api/artist-detail/<id>?source=<src>&name=<name>` with source in
(spotify, itunes, deezer, discogs, hydrabase, musicbrainz) — when
the library DB lookup misses, synthesize a response by:
• fetching artist image via metadata_service.get_artist_image_url
with source_override (the helper already backing /api/artist/
<id>/image)
• fetching discography via metadata_service.get_artist_detail_
discography with MetadataLookupOptions(source_override=source,
artist_source_ids={source: artist_id})
• returning { success, artist: {id, name, image_url, server_source:
null, genres: []}, discography, enrichment_coverage: {} }
- Library PK missing AND no source — preserves the 404 (caller didn't
give enough info to fall back).
Frontend plumbing: library.js loadArtistDetailData now appends
?source=<src>&name=<name> to the fetch URL when
artistDetailPageState.currentArtistSource is set. The field is already
seeded by navigateToArtistDetail's third arg (added during the earlier
unification work), so no new state plumbing is needed.
populateArtistDetailPage gracefully handles the missing-library-data
case per earlier exploration — owned_releases empty is fine,
enrichment_coverage optional, spotify_artist_id optional.
Part B will re-route the source-artist callsites (Search / Discover /
Watchlist / etc.) back through navigateToArtistDetail so they actually
exercise this new fallback path.
Part C of the deferred unification cleanup. The Artists page is no
longer in the sidebar, but its JS file can't be deleted yet because
it houses ~20 general-purpose helpers that other modules depend on
(escapeHtml used in 229 places, service-status polling, image-colour
extraction, download-bubble infrastructure, discography completion
checking, enrichment card rendering).
Moved all non-page-specific code from artists.js into the new
webui/static/shared-helpers.js — pure copy/paste, zero logic change.
Two contiguous blocks extracted:
Block A (lines 1097..1398 of original artists.js): discography
completion suite — checkDiscographyCompletion, handleStreaming-
CompletionUpdate, cacheCompletionData, updateAlbumCompletion-
Overlay, getCompletionStatusText, setAlbumDownloadedStatus,
setAlbumDownloadingStatus.
Block B (lines 2206..EOF of original artists.js): download-bubble
infrastructure (artist + search + Beatport clusters with their
snapshot/hydrate/modal/monitor helpers), openDownloadMissingModal-
ForArtistAlbum, image-colour extractor and dynamic-glow helper,
escapeHtml, service-status polling, renderEnrichmentCards.
Function declarations in a plain <script> tag are auto-global, so all
existing callers continue to resolve without any import/export
changes. Load order in index.html: shared-helpers.js loads right
after core.js (which defines the artistDownloadBubbles / search-
DownloadBubbles / beatportDownloadBubbles globals these helpers use).
Stats:
artists.js: 4638 → 1903 lines (-2735)
shared-helpers.js: new, 2762 lines
No function duplicated between the two files
All 357 tests pass (3 new from split-integrity parametrization)
What's left in artists.js is purely the Artists page — search UI,
detail view, state switching, watchlist button, discography loading.
All of that is reachable only by typing /artists in the URL bar
since the sidebar entry was retired in Phase 4b. Parts D + E will
delete that remainder and the file itself.
When the user reached the inline Artists detail view from outside
the Artists page and no browser history is available (direct
bookmark), fall back to the Search page instead of Dashboard.
Search is the natural next step for finding a different artist.
Reverts the 2.40→2.49 version spam from this session — every phase
commit was bumping the display version when the whole Search/Artists
unification project should really be a single release.
Changes:
- _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION back to 2.39
- All session-level version-info sections consolidated — the endpoint
response is back to the pre-session 2.39 shape
- helper.js WHATS_NEW entries for 2.40–2.49 collapsed into a single
'2.40' block with one bullet per phase, marked unreleased
- _getLatestWhatsNewVersion / _showOlderNotes filter out entries
whose version is higher than the current build, so the 2.40 block
won't fire the 'new' badge or appear in the What's New panel until
we actually flip the build version
- Picks up the artist-detail back-button fix from the previous turn
(falls back to browser history when the user reached the inline
detail from outside the Artists page)
When the unification project is done, a single commit that bumps
_SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION to 2.40 will publish the whole folded entry.
Phase 4a (9361c29) mistakenly routed every artist click to
navigateToArtistDetail, which fetches /api/artist-detail/<id>. That
endpoint only knows how to look up local DB primary keys. For source
artists (Spotify/Deezer/iTunes/etc.) the id is a metadata-source id,
not a library PK — so clicks 404'd out.
Library artists (db_artists section in search results, library page
clicks, stats links, media player) continue to go to the standalone
/artist-detail page as before. Source artists now route back to the
Artists page's inline view via selectArtistForDetail, which calls
/api/artist/<id>/discography with a source param — the endpoint that
actually handles non-library IDs.
Reverted 7 migration points:
- search.js: Enhanced Search source-artists onClick
- downloads.js: global widget _gsClickArtist non-library branch
- downloads.js: _navigateToArtistFromModal fallback
- discover.js: viewRecommendedArtistDiscography
- discover.js: viewDiscoverHeroDiscography
- discover.js: 'Your Artists' card name-click inline HTML
- discover.js: 'Your Artists' info-modal 'View All' button
- discover.js: artist-map context menu
- discover.js: genre-deep-dive artist click
- api-monitor.js: watchlist artist discography view
Phase 4a's goal of "one artist page for everything" is deferred —
it needs backend work on /api/artist-detail to accept a source param
and fall back to metadata-source lookup when the local DB lookup
fails. Keeping the signature extension on navigateToArtistDetail
(source parameter) in place for when that lands.
Phase 4c of the Search/Artists unification — docs-only cleanup.
The click-for-help system and the 'Your First Download' guided tour
referenced elements that no longer exist (the Basic/Enhanced toggle,
the embedded download-manager toggle, the active/finished queue
panels). Updated annotations + tour steps to match the current UI.
- New annotation for .search-source-picker-container (the dropdown)
- Removed 6 annotations for deleted elements
- 'first-download' tour now walks users through the source picker
and uses page: 'search' (PAGE_TOUR_MAP accepts both 'search' and
the legacy 'downloads' id so older bookmarks still match)
- Retired the 'artists-browse' standalone tour — no sidebar entry
- Dropped the dead #finished-queue detection in the setup milestone
check (the dashboard stat card is the single source of truth)
Phase 4b of the Search/Artists unification. Cin flagged that 'Artists'
in the sidebar read like a library section but was actually a
dedicated artist-search page, duplicating what unified Search already
does. Removed the sidebar entry so users funnel through Search.
- Sidebar Artists button gone
- 'Browse Artists' on empty Watchlist now opens Search
- 'View artist from Wishlist' opens Search pre-filled with the name
- Profile Home Page + Page Access drop the Artists option
artists.js stays on disk: it defines ~30 shared helpers used across
the app (escapeHtml, openDownloadMissingModalForArtistAlbum, service
status, download bubbles, image helpers) that library/discover/etc.
depend on. Wholesale deletion would orphan too much. The inline
Artists page and its selectArtistForDetail flow are still there —
just unreachable from the sidebar — so /artists deep links keep
working for bookmarks.
Phase 4a of the Search/Artists unification. The app had two artist-
detail implementations: the standalone page Library navigates to via
navigateToArtistDetail (its own route, deep-link support, highlights
Library in the sidebar), and an inline state inside the Artists page
reached via selectArtistForDetail. They rendered similar content but
were separate code paths and kept drifting apart (PR #356 just had
to fix source propagation in both).
Every external caller of selectArtistForDetail (9 sites across
api-monitor.js, discover.js, downloads.js, search.js) now calls
navigateToArtistDetail(id, name, source) directly. Removed ~63 lines
of the navigate-then-setTimeout-then-select dance. Source context
(Spotify/iTunes/Deezer/etc.) carries cleanly through via the new
third argument.
Artists sidebar entry, its inline search, and selectArtistForDetail
all still work — they just have no external callers. Phase 4b will
retire the sidebar entry and artists.js.
Phase 3c of the Search/Artists unification. The Search page carried
a second copy of the Download Manager (active + finished queues,
clear/cancel-all buttons) that was hidden by default and duplicated
the dedicated Downloads page. That duplicate is now gone.
Removed:
- Side-panel HTML block and the toggle button that showed/hid it
- ~290 lines of polling + render infra in downloads.js: loadDownloads-
Data, startDownloadPolling/stopDownloadPolling, updateDownload-
Queues, renderQueue, updateTabCounts/updateDownloadStats,
initializeDownloadTabs/switchDownloadTab, cancelDownloadItem,
clearFinishedDownloads, cancelAllDownloads, and the
activeDownloads/finishedDownloads globals
- initializeDownloadManagerToggle and its call from init.js
- Stopped hitting /api/downloads/status every second on the Search
page (the dedicated Downloads page already polls its own view)
CSS grid for the Search page collapsed from '1fr 370px' to '1fr' now
that the right panel is gone. Unused .controls-panel__* / .download-
manager__* / .downloads-side-panel CSS rules kept in place — harmless,
can be pruned later.
Phase 3b of the Search/Artists unification. The Search page's
internal id was 'downloads', which clashed with the actual Downloads
page (id 'active-downloads') and confused anyone reading the code.
Renamed to 'search' across HTML, navigation, DOM selectors, and the
deep-link route list.
Backwards compat: navigateToPage('downloads') aliases to 'search'
at the top of the function; /downloads URL still serves index.html
and the client router resolves the page correctly; profile ACL
checks accept both 'search' and 'downloads' so existing profiles
with 'downloads' in allowed_pages keep working without migration.
Sidebar label unchanged. Zero visual change — pure internal tidy.
Phase 3 of the Search/Artists unification. The Search page's two-mode
toggle is replaced by a single 'Search from' dropdown: All sources
(Auto), Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Discogs, Hydrabase, MusicBrainz,
or Soulseek (raw files). Auto keeps today's fan-out behavior for
backwards compatibility; picking a specific source hits only that
provider. 'Soulseek' routes to the raw-file basic section, so one
picker covers both old modes. Loading text and the enhanced fetch
now respect the selected source. Zero API changes — uses the source
param added in 2.40 and the shared fetch helper from 2.41.
Phase 2 of the Search/Artists unification: the Search page dropdown
and the global spotlight widget both POST to /api/enhanced-search
with identical boilerplate. Extracted into enhancedSearchFetch() in
search.js (loaded before downloads.js). Both callers migrated. Zero
UX change — purely sets up Phase 3 to wire a source picker in one
place instead of two.
Phase 1 of the Search/Artists unification project: the endpoint now
accepts an optional `source` (spotify, itunes, deezer, discogs,
hydrabase, musicbrainz) so callers can target a single metadata source
instead of always fanning out. Omitted or `auto` preserves current
multi-source behavior — no existing callers break. Cache keys include
the source tag so per-source and fan-out results don't collide.
- Pass source through artist, library, wishlist, and rehydration album-track fetches
- Preserve the resolved metadata source on cached discography and artist detail state
- Prevent 404s when opening artist-page album modals from non-Spotify sources
User reported searching "Maduk - Leave A Light On" on Tidal silently
downloaded Tom Walker's completely different song of the same name, then
embedded Maduk's metadata into Tom Walker's audio. Three layers of
defense all failed permissively. Two of them are fixed here; the third
(score formula weights) was left alone since these two together cover it.
Layer 1 fix — candidate artist gate (web_server.py:27782)
Old: `if _best_artist < 0.4 and confidence < 0.85: continue`
New: `if _best_artist < 0.5 and confidence < 0.85: continue`
SequenceMatcher returns exactly 0.400 for "maduk" vs "tom walker"
(5-char vs 10-char strings with coincidental char matches), which
slipped past the strict `< 0.4` check. The word-boundary containment
check earlier in the function already short-circuits legitimate
formatting variations to sim=1.0, so falling to SequenceMatcher means
strings are genuinely different. 0.5 closes the fencepost AND gives
a small safety buffer.
Layer 3 fix — AcoustID verification (acoustid_verification.py:316)
When title matches but artist doesn't AND expected artist isn't found
anywhere in AcoustID's returned recordings:
Old: always SKIP (let file through, assume cover/collab)
New: FAIL if artist_sim < 0.3 (clear mismatch)
SKIP if artist_sim >= 0.3 (ambiguous — cover/collab/formatting)
The 0.3 cutoff catches hard mismatches like Maduk/Tom Walker (sim ~0.2)
while preserving benefit-of-the-doubt for borderline artist formatting
differences. Legitimate covers and collabs where the expected artist
appears anywhere in AcoustID's recordings still PASS via the existing
secondary-match loop above.
Both fixes are defense-in-depth — either alone would have caught this
bug. Together they close the pre-download AND post-download gaps.
All 292 tests pass. Version bumped to 2.39 with changelog entries.
New smart template variable that emits "CD01" / "CD02" etc. in filenames
on multi-disc albums, and expands to empty string on single-disc albums
so mixed libraries don't end up with "CD01" on every single.
Template behaviour:
- total_discs > 1 -> "CD{disc:02d}" (zero-padded, CD prefix)
- total_discs <= 1 -> empty string
- Both $cdnum and ${cdnum} bracket form supported
- Empty value collapses cleanly via existing double-dash regex plus new
leading-dash cleanup pass
Wiring:
- _apply_path_template in web_server.py (download pipeline)
- _apply_path_template in core/repair_jobs/library_reorganize.py
(Reorganize repair job)
- total_discs added to every album-mode template context:
* download pipeline album branch (uses resolved total_discs even for
single-track downloads from search)
* per-album Reorganize preview + apply endpoints (pre-scan all track
tags once, take max disc_number)
* Library Reorganize repair job (already had album_total_discs map,
just added to context dict)
Leading-dash cleanup added to _get_file_path_from_template (web_server)
and _build_path_from_template (library_reorganize) so templates like
"$cdnum - $track - $title" don't leave "- 05 - Title" on single-disc
albums.
UI:
- Template hint in Settings -> File Organization documents $cdnum
- Template validation variable list includes $cdnum
- Reorganize modal variable reference shows $cdnum with example "CD01"
Verified:
- Multi-disc disc 1 -> "CD01 - 05 - Track"
- Multi-disc disc 2 -> "CD02 - 05 - Track"
- Single-disc -> "05 - Track" (no leading dash)
- Templates without $cdnum behave unchanged
- 276/276 tests pass
Three closely-related changes bundled together. The UI work exposed the
backend bug when I tried to cancel a Deezer download and saw it marked
cancelled in the DB but continuing in the background.
Backend — cancel_task_v2 orchestrator dispatch fix:
The slskd-specific cancel block was written back when soulseek_client
was a raw SoulseekClient. It was later swapped to DownloadOrchestrator
(which doesn't expose .base_url / ._make_request), so the first
diagnostic log line crashed with AttributeError. The outer try/except
swallowed it, leaving streaming downloads (YouTube / Tidal / Qobuz /
HiFi / Deezer / Lidarr) running in the background after the user
clicked cancel.
Replaced the ~80-line block with a single
soulseek_client.cancel_download(download_id, username, remove=True)
call — the orchestrator's dispatch picks the right client by username,
same path /api/downloads/cancel already uses successfully.
Per-row cancel button (fancy):
Circular X button on .adl-row for rows in active or queued state.
Hidden by default (opacity 0, translateX + scale), fades in + settles
on .adl-row:hover with a cubic-bezier overshoot. Own :hover gives a
1.12x scale pop and brighter red glow. Touch devices (@media
(hover: none)) keep it visible.
Backend: surfaced playlist_id in /api/downloads/all items so the
frontend can hit cancel_task_v2 without a second lookup. Frontend:
adlCancelRow(btnEl, playlistId, trackIndex) with double-click guard
via data-cancelling + adl-row-cancel-pending class.
Cancel All header button:
Red-themed button next to "Clear Completed". Only visible when any
task is in downloading / searching / post_processing / queued state —
auto-hides the moment the last one finishes. Confirm dialog shows
"Cancel N tasks across M batches?". Iterates _adlBatches, calls
/api/playlists/<batch_id>/cancel_batch sequentially (same endpoint
each modal's "Cancel All" and the per-batch-card cancel use). Disables
during the loop, mixed/success/error toast based on result.
All 276 tests pass.
- Abort Beatport content loading when leaving the Sync/Beatport tab
- Stop Beatport slider autoplay plus discovery and sync subscriptions on exit
- Make Beatport bubble hydration cancellable so hidden tabs do not keep fetching
Companion fix to the provider-hardcode bug (6ceedc8). The cache
matched_data built by the 5 update_match / fix endpoints was dropping
image_url and album.images when album came back as a bare string —
common for Deezer and iTunes search results. Cache hits on re-discovery
then produced downloads with no artwork.
Each save site now carries image info through:
- album_obj gets image_url + images:[{url}] populated from spotify_track.image_url
- matched_data adds top-level image_url for pipeline consumers that check there
- Works for both dict-shaped album (Spotify) and string-shaped album (Deezer/iTunes)
Mirrors the handling already present in _build_fix_modal_spotify_data for
the in-memory result['spotify_data'] — explains why the UI showed art fine
during the fix modal but the cached entry lost it after restart.
save_discovery_cache_match uses INSERT OR REPLACE, so existing bad cache
entries refresh when the user re-fixes the track. No manual cache clearing
needed.
Added to 2.38 changelog (same round of discovery-fix work).
Five update_match endpoints hardcoded the provider as 'spotify' when
saving manual fixes to the discovery cache, but the re-discovery worker
queries the cache with _get_active_discovery_source() — the user's
actual primary. If the primary was Deezer/iTunes/Discogs/Hydrabase, the
provider column never matched, so every manual fix looked like it
vanished on restart.
Replaced 'spotify' with _get_active_discovery_source() at all 5 sites:
- Tidal update_match (web_server.py:34569)
- Deezer update_match (web_server.py:36235)
- Spotify Public update_match (web_server.py:37084)
- YouTube update_match (web_server.py:38037)
- Discovery Pool fix (web_server.py:49787)
Now symmetric with how the auto-discovery workers already save. Spotify-
primary users see no change (the hardcoded value matched their source).
Version bumped to 2.38 with changelog + version-info entries.
Cancel button on active download items was always visible, cluttering
the card. Now hidden by default and fades in when you hover the card
(or focus anything inside it, for keyboard a11y).
- opacity + pointer-events approach so layout doesn't jump on reveal
- 4px slide-in on reveal for a subtle entrance
- Touch devices (hover: none) keep the button always visible — no hover
means no way to discover it otherwise
Two bugs reported in issue #320:
1. Auto-watchlist scan bypassed Global Override settings.
scan_watchlist_profile applied _apply_global_watchlist_overrides, but
the scheduled auto-scan called scan_watchlist_artists directly —
bypassing the override. Users who unchecked "Albums" or "Live" under
Watchlist → Global Override still saw full albums and live tracks
added during nightly scans (per-artist defaults, which include
everything, won).
Moved override application into scan_watchlist_artists itself so
every entry point respects it. scan_watchlist_profile now forwards
the apply_global_overrides flag through to avoid double-application.
2. is_live_version (watchlist + discography backfill) and
live_commentary_cleaner's content patterns used bare \blive\b, which
matched verb uses like "What We Live For" by American Authors,
"Live Forever" by Oasis, "Live and Let Die" by Wings.
Tightened the live patterns to require clear recording context:
(Live) / [Live Version] / - Live / Live at|from|in|on|version|
session|recording|performance|album|show|tour|concert|edit|cut|take
/ In Concert / On Stage / Unplugged / Concert.
Locked in 11 regression tests covering the reported false positives
(What We Live For, Live Forever, Living on a Prayer, Live and Let Die)
and the reported true positives (Dimension - Live at Big Day Out,
MTV Unplugged, etc.).
Version bumped to 2.37 with changelog entries.
_loadCacheHealthStats ran async from loadRepairFindingsDashboard and
appended a new .repair-cache-health div each time. If the dashboard
refreshed while earlier fetches were still in flight, each resolving
fetch appended its own section — producing 2–6 stacked copies.
Now each fetch removes any existing .repair-cache-health inside the
dashboard before appending, so at most one bar is ever visible.
Root-cause fix for "scanning 50 artists" then silence: when the master
repair worker was paused, force-run still kicked off _run_job but the
job's first wait_if_paused() blocked forever because is_paused was tied
to the master-enabled state. Force-run now bypasses master-pause —
scheduled runs still respect it.
Also fixes Fix All on discography findings doing nothing: the backend
bulk_fix_findings query had a fixable_types allowlist that excluded
missing_discography_track (and acoustid_mismatch). Added both.
Backfill job rebuild:
- auto_add_to_wishlist opt-in setting — creates findings AND pushes to
wishlist during the scan
- 3-option fix dialog (Add to Wishlist / Just Clear / Cancel) on single
Fix, Bulk Fix selection, and Fix All (page-level)
- Fix All "Just Clear" path uses the clear endpoint with job_id filter
instead of the generic "may delete files" bulk-fix warning
- Batched in-memory matching using get_candidate_albums_for_artist +
get_candidate_tracks_for_albums (same fast path the Library pages use)
- Rich album context per finding (id, name, album_type, release_date,
images, artists, total_tracks) — flows through the wishlist pipeline
so auto-processor classifies each track into the right cycle
(albums vs singles) and post-processing gets correct folder/tags/art
- Per-artist progress logs [N/50] Scanning ArtistName
- Default interval 24h (was 168h); all release types default on; settings
reordered with _section_* group headers (Core / Release Types /
Content Filters)
Repair settings UI:
- Generic _section_<name> key convention renders as an uppercase group
divider in the settings panel — any job can opt in
- .repair-setting-row gets a dashed bottom border so label↔toggle pairing
is visually clear
- _prettifyRepairSettingKey fixes acronym capitalization (EPs, not Eps)
Version bumped to 2.36 with changelog entries.
User reported: after clicking Fix on a Not-Found discovery track and
picking a replacement in the fix modal, the resulting download card had
no cover image, and the track seemed to still behave like a Wing-It
stub. Both suspicions were correct. Three compounding bugs:
1. /api/spotify/search_tracks returned only id/name/artists/album/
duration_ms — no image_url — unlike the sibling /api/itunes/ and
/api/deezer/ endpoints which include image_url. The fix modal had
no image data to work with when users searched via Spotify.
2. Frontend selectDiscoveryFixTrack discarded any image info it did get
and posted the same minimal shape to the backend.
3. All 7 backend discovery/update_match endpoints built
result['spotify_data'] with 'album' as a bare string (track.album
which is just the album name). The download pipeline expects
spotify_album to be a dict with image_url or images[].url — a string
yields blank cover art. Normal discovery workers already build album
as a rich dict; the fix-modal path was the anomaly.
4. Bonus: result['wing_it_fallback'] was never cleared on manual match.
Tracks fixed after the auto Wing-It fallback kept the flag set, so
downstream code checking it treated them as wing-it even though the
user picked real metadata.
Changes:
- New helper _build_fix_modal_spotify_data(spotify_track) in web_server.py
near _build_discovery_wing_it_stub. Handles both string and dict album
inputs, normalises to a dict with image_url and images populated when
the payload carries one. Matches the shape produced by normal discovery
so downstream code is happy on both paths.
- /api/spotify/search_tracks now returns image_url (parity with iTunes
and Deezer endpoints).
- All 7 discovery/update_match endpoints (youtube, tidal, deezer,
spotify-public, listenbrainz, beatport — 6 via the identical pattern
plus the listenbrainz variant with its None branch) now:
* use the helper to build spotify_data (album as dict + top-level
image_url)
* explicitly set result['wing_it_fallback'] = False
- selectDiscoveryFixTrack forwards track.image_url in the POST body and
mirrors the helper's output in the local state update so the UI
reflects the same shape immediately.
Audit: every downstream reader of spotify_data['album'] is already
dict-or-string tolerant (isinstance checks at lines 2073, 2158, 25844,
28938, 29011, etc.) so promoting album from string to dict is safe.
Normal discovery already sets it as a dict, so we're moving the fix-
modal path to match the existing majority case.
Full suite stays at 263 passed. Ruff clean.
The previous commit only fixed the INITIAL-render transform for
Spotify/Tidal/Deezer discovery rows. User confirmed [object Object]
still appeared after discovery completed — because there are two
additional update paths that do their own row-transform:
- WebSocket live-update handler (populates rows as discovery progresses)
- Poll-based fallback (same shape, runs when socket is disconnected)
Both had the same naive `.artists.join(', ')` on potentially-object
arrays. The poll and socket handlers exist for each of Spotify Public,
Tidal, and Deezer — six occurrences total across three platforms, all
with the same bug class. Now all use the object-aware map-and-join
pattern consistent with the initial-render fix.
Also fixes two more spots in openDiscoveryFixModal that the earlier
sweep missed:
- Missing spotify_public branch in the apply-selected-match handler:
after user picks a replacement track, state lookup failed, the local
row wouldn't refresh even though the backend had succeeded.
- Same artist-join bug in the same handler (track.artists from the
fix-modal search results could be array-of-objects).
Full suite stays at 263 passed. Ruff clean.
Three separate issues reported on the Spotify Playlist Discovery modal:
1. Fix button fails with "Track data not found"
openDiscoveryFixModal() branched on platform name to locate the discovery
state but had no case for 'spotify_public'. Row rendering passes that
platform value when the source is a Spotify public playlist, so state
lookup failed and the toast fired. Added the spotify_public branch —
state lives in youtubePlaylistStates alongside the other reused platforms.
2. Table header too transparent to read
.youtube-discovery-modal .discovery-table th used rgba(255,255,255,0.1)
as background (10% white) with white text, which lost contrast when the
orange progress bar or varied row content scrolled underneath. Switched
to near-solid dark rgba(17,17,20,0.96) with a brighter border-bottom
and z-index:5 so the sticky header stacks cleanly above table content.
3. "[object Object]" in the matched-artist column for Wing-It tracks
The Spotify Public Playlist row-transform joined result.spotify_data.artists
directly with .join(', '). Wing-It stub metadata (built server-side by
_build_discovery_wing_it_stub) returns artists as [{name: "..."}] —
array of objects. .join() stringified each object to "[object Object]".
Same pattern existed in three places in script.js; all now map objects
to .name and filter empties before joining. Graceful fallback to "-"
if the result is empty.
No existing tests touched. Full suite stays at 263 passed. Ruff clean.
Adds green/yellow header gradient on each service card showing whether the
user has filled in credentials, plus an expand-triggered verification layer
that surfaces working-or-not status inline.
Backend (web_server.py):
- SERVICE_CONFIG_REGISTRY mapping each of the 11 services in Connections to
its config requirements. Supports required-keys, always-green, any-of,
and custom-check semantics (Tidal uses token-file check, Qobuz accepts
either email/password OR cached auth token).
- _is_service_configured(service) — cheap config presence check, no APIs hit.
- GET /api/settings/config-status — returns {service: {configured}} for all
services in one call. Drives the page-load gradient.
- POST /api/settings/verify — takes {services: [...]}, runs
run_service_test per service, caches results 5 min in-memory, parallelizes
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=3) to avoid self-rate-limiting. Query
param ?force=true busts cache.
- Added verify branches for iTunes, Deezer, Discogs, Qobuz, Hydrabase in
run_service_test (previously missing — these services couldn't be tested).
HTML (webui/index.html):
- data-service="..." on all 11 .stg-service containers so JS can map card
to backend service name.
CSS (webui/static/style.css):
- .status-configured gradient (subtle green, left-to-transparent fade)
- .status-missing gradient (yellow, same shape)
- Spinner badge in header for .status-checking state
- "Testing connection…" status line style inside panel body
- Red warning bar style for verify failures at top of expanded panel
- Brand dot now glows always (was only glowing when expanded); hover and
expand states intensify the glow progressively.
JS (webui/static/script.js):
- applyServiceStatusGradients() fetches config-status and applies
green/yellow class per card. Called on Connections tab activate + after
any settings save.
- _stgVerifyServices(services, {force}) — batch verify POST, tracks
in-flight state, renders spinners/status lines/warnings per service.
- toggleStgService() fires single-service verify when a card is expanded
(not on collapse). Skipped if a verify is already in flight for that
service.
- toggleAllServiceAccordions() fires one batched verify for all 11 services
when "Expand All" is clicked; skipped on "Collapse All".
- _stgRefreshAfterSave() — after settings save, refreshes gradient (cheap)
and re-verifies only the cards the user currently has expanded (so
freshly-edited credentials show their new verify result immediately,
without re-pinging every service).
Failure UI: top-of-panel red warning bar with the error message (e.g.
"Discogs token rejected (HTTP 401)", "Hydrabase not connected…"). Removed
automatically on next successful verify.
No existing tests changed. Full suite stays at 263 passed. Ruff clean.
- Move /api/artist/<artist_id>/image resolution into core.metadata_service.
- Resolve artist artwork through source priority, with explicit source/plugin overrides preserved.
- Keep Spotify call tracking inside the client layer to avoid double counting.
- Update similar-artist lazy loading to pass source context and add service coverage.
Artist detail pages ran check_album_exists_with_editions and check_track_exists
per discography item, each firing 5+ title variations times 3 artist variations
of fuzzy LIKE searches plus fallback broad-artist queries. For a 30-album artist
that was ~450 SQL round-trips just to answer "which of these do I own."
Hoist the artist's library albums and tracks into memory once per request via
two new helpers — get_candidate_albums_for_artist and get_candidate_tracks_for_albums —
and thread them through as optional candidate_albums / candidate_tracks params on
check_album_exists_with_editions, check_album_exists_with_completeness,
check_track_exists, check_album_completion, and check_single_completion.
Batched path scores the same _calculate_album_confidence / _calculate_track_confidence
against the in-memory list, preserving Smart Edition Matching and accuracy.
Title-only cross-artist fallback still fires for collaborative-album edge cases.
None on either param preserves legacy per-item SQL behavior for unaffected callers.
Applied to both /api/library/completion-stream (library artist detail page) and
iter_artist_discography_completion_events (Artists search page). Timing logs
added to confirm the pre-fetch cost and loop elapsed time.
On a Kendrick page load, per-album resolution drops from ~8 seconds to under
the 50ms streaming sleep floor. Observed ~100x SQL reduction on the happy path.
The reorganize endpoints built a template context without albumtype,
so ${albumtype} silently fell through to the engine's hardcoded "Album"
default — EPs, singles, and compilations all landed in Albums/.
Wires albumtype through from the albums table's record_type column
(populated by Spotify/Deezer/iTunes enrichment workers) with track-count
fallback when record_type is missing. New helper mirrors the download
pipeline's classification logic so reorganize produces the same folders
as initial placement. Also handles Deezer's raw 'compile' value which
the Deezer worker writes directly without mapping.
Shows standard SoulSync confirm dialog before bulk reorganize with
album count and template preview. Button now uses enhanced-sync-btn
class to match other artist header buttons.
New "Reorganize All" button in enhanced library artist header processes
all albums sequentially using the configured path template.
Version bumped to 2.35. Updated What's New modal with major features
(Discography Backfill, Multi-Artist Tagging, Enriched Downloads,
Template Delimiters, Reorganize All). Updated helper.js changelog
with all April 20 fixes and features.
Three new settings in Paths & Organization:
- Artist Tag Separator: choose comma, semicolon, or slash between artists
- Write multi-value ARTISTS tag: each artist as separate tag value for
Navidrome/Jellyfin multi-artist linking (FLAC ARTISTS key, ID3 TPE1
multi-value, MP4 multi-entry)
- Move featured artists to title: keep only primary artist in ARTIST
tag, append others as (feat. ...) in track title
All opt-in with defaults matching current behavior. Raw artist list
stored on metadata dict for tag writers to access without re-parsing.
The downloads page previously showed only title and source per download.
Now shows album artwork thumbnail, artist name, album name, source badge,
and quality badge (after post-processing). All metadata comes from the
existing matched_downloads_context — no extra API calls needed.
Falls back gracefully to title-only display when context metadata is
not available (e.g. orphaned Soulseek transfers with no task mapping).
New repair job that scans each artist in the library, fetches their
full discography from metadata sources, and creates findings for any
tracks not already owned. Users review findings and click "Add to
Wishlist" to queue missing tracks for download.
Respects content filters (live/remix/acoustic/instrumental/compilation)
and release type filters (album/EP/single). Opt-in, disabled by default,
runs weekly, processes up to 50 artists per run with rate limiting.
Users can now append literal text to template variables using curly
braces: ${albumtype}s produces "Albums", "Singles", "EPs". Without
braces, $albumtypes was rejected as an unknown variable by validation.
Both syntaxes work: $albumtype (plain) and ${albumtype} (delimited).
Bracket vars are resolved first to prevent partial matching conflicts.
Validation updated for album, single, and playlist templates.
AcoustID findings had no Fix button and bulk "Fix Selected" silently
defaulted to retag with no user choice. Now shows a 3-option prompt
(Retag / Re-download / Delete) for both individual and bulk fix,
matching the pattern used by orphan files and dead files.
- Move album-track resolution into metadata_service
- Use the configured provider order instead of Spotify-first branching
- Switch the frontend to the unified /api/album/<id>/tracks endpoint
- Add tests for source-priority lookup, DB resolution, and formatting
iTunes API can return collection metadata without song tracks for
region-restricted albums. The _lookup fallback only checked if results
was empty, so a collection-only response was accepted and cached as
{'items': []}. All future lookups returned the cached empty result.
Three fixes:
- get_album_tracks now checks for actual song items and tries fallback
storefronts when only collection metadata is returned
- Skip cached results with empty items array (prevents stale cache hits)
- Backend returns descriptive 404 error, frontend surfaces it in toast
The standalone mode handler ran every 10s on WebSocket status push and
set display='' on all sync buttons matching [id$="-sync-btn"], which
removed the display:none that kept undiscovered playlist sync buttons
hidden. Now tracks which buttons it hid via a data attribute and only
restores those, preserving the hidden state on undiscovered playlists.
Track ownership: check-tracks endpoint now filters by album context
when provided, preventing false "Found" when a track exists in a
different album by the same artist (e.g. Thriller on HIStory).
Wing-it wishlist: manual "Add to Wishlist" button now skips wing-it
fallback tracks (wing_it_ ID prefix), matching the behavior of
failed download and failed sync paths.
Debug info: watchlist/wishlist/automation counts were always 0
because get_db() doesn't exist — fixed to get_database().
The /api/artist/{id}/album/{id}/tracks endpoint was hardcoded to use
spotify_client and returned 401 if Spotify wasn't authenticated,
even when the user's primary source was Deezer or iTunes. Now uses
the configured primary metadata source via _get_metadata_fallback_client
with Spotify as fallback. Also gives a clearer error message when
no metadata source is available at all.
Adding a soundtrack or compilation album to wishlist was creating
separate wishlist entries per track artist (e.g. Persona 3 OST split
into ATLUS Sound Team/Lotus Juice/Azumi Takahashi). Now uses the
album-level artist when available so all tracks stay grouped as one
album. Per-track artist resolution only applies to playlists where
there's no album context.
Some metadata APIs return fewer or no results for all-lowercase
queries. Title-case the query when it's all lowercase before
sending to the API ("foreigner" → "Foreigner"). Mixed-case input
is left as-is. Confidence scoring still uses the original query.
Fixed 5 critical gaps in the download orchestrator where lidarr was
missing from client loops: get_all_downloads, get_download_status,
cancel_download fallback, clear_all_completed_downloads, and
cancel_all_downloads. Without these, lidarr downloads were invisible
to the UI, couldn't be cancelled, and accumulated in memory.
Also: error messages now visible in download list (appended to
filename on error state), removed "(Development)" label from UI.
- Stop passing in spotify_id as the id in the UI, use the actual db id instead
- Fixes an issue where albums for another artist would end up being returned for the actual searched artist
- Remove the redundant artist_id filtering code
- Fixes an issue where not-currently-owned albums would be filtered out from the results, even if they were successfully fetched from the configured metadata provider
M3U files were generated when the download batch completed but
before post-processing finished tagging and moving files. Paths
pointed to download locations instead of final library paths,
making every track show as missing. Now regenerates the M3U from
the backend batch completion handler after all post-processing
is guaranteed done, resolving real file paths from the library DB.
Skips overwrite if zero tracks resolve to avoid replacing a
partially-good M3U with an all-missing one.
The retag fix for AcoustID mismatches was only updating the DB
record (title, artist_id) without writing corrected tags to the
actual audio file. Users would click Fix, the finding disappeared,
but the file on disk stayed unchanged. Now writes title and artist
tags to the file via Mutagen after the DB update.
Also fixed artist INSERT missing server_source when creating a new
artist during retag — now uses the active media server value.
Auto-wishlist albums cycle was passing is_album=True to
_get_batch_max_concurrent which returns 1 for soulseek mode.
This restriction is for folder-based album grabs from a single
peer, not individual track downloads. Wishlist always does
single-track downloads regardless of cycle, so it should use
the user's configured concurrency setting.
_adlFetch() fetches /api/downloads/all?limit=300 then _adlUpdateBadge()
was counting active statuses from that truncated array, overwriting
the real server-side count maintained by WebSocket. Removed the
badge update from _adlFetch — the WebSocket status push already
keeps it accurate.
Fix modal results: sort standard album versions above live, remix,
cover, soundtrack, remaster, and deluxe variants so users see the
original studio track first instead of obscure versions.
Plex Find & Add: tracks were always appended to the end of the
playlist because addItems ignores position. Now moves the track
to the correct slot after adding via moveItem.
Discovery Fix modal search results now sort standard album versions
above live recordings, remixes, covers, soundtracks, remasters,
deluxe editions, and other variants. Fixes cases where searching
"Mother Danzig" returned a live version first, or "Even Flow Pearl
Jam" returned a soundtrack instead of the original from Ten.
Unmatch: found tracks in playlist discovery now have a red X button
to remove bad matches. Clears match data, sets back to Not Found,
persists in DB for mirrored playlists, and respects user choice on
re-discovery runs (won't re-match automatically).
Video naming: new path template in Settings with $artist, $title,
$artistletter, $year variables. Default unchanged ($artist/$title-video)
so existing Plex setups aren't affected.
slskd logs: Clean Search History automation skips when Soulseek is
not the active download source, eliminating connection error spam.
Video naming: new path template in Settings → Paths & Organization
with $artist, $artistletter, $title, $year variables. Default
unchanged ($artist/$title-video → Artist/Title-video.mp4) so
existing Plex setups aren't affected. Users can remove the -video
suffix or reorganize however they like.
slskd logs: the Clean Search History automation now skips when
Soulseek is not the active download source, eliminating noisy
connection error logs for users who don't use Soulseek.
When playlist discovery fails to match a track on any metadata API,
instead of marking it "Not Found" and excluding it from downloads,
automatically build stub metadata from the raw source title/artist
and include it in the download queue. Soulseek searches with the
raw data, post-processing enhances whatever it can find.
All 7 discovery workers updated: YouTube, ListenBrainz, Tidal,
Deezer, Spotify Public, Beatport, and automated mirrored playlists.
Amber "Wing It" badge distinguishes stubs from real API matches.
Fix button still available so users can manually find a proper match.
Wing It stubs persist in DB for mirrored playlists and are
re-attempted on future discovery runs. Failed wing-it downloads
skip wishlist per-track (checked by wing_it_ ID prefix) so real
matched failures in the same batch still go to wishlist normally.
soul_id.startsWith() threw TypeError for non-string values, crashing
the entire card rendering pipeline. Letter-specific filters worked
because the problematic artist wasn't in those filtered results.
Added String() wrapper on all 3 soul_id.startsWith calls and a
try-catch around individual card rendering so one bad card can't
take down the whole page.
- Flask catch-all route serves index.html for client-side paths, excluding api/static/auth/callback/status prefixes.- navigateToPage pushes history state so URL reflects current page.- popstate listener handles browser back/forward without reloading.- Initial load reads window.location to restore the page after refresh or direct link.- artist-detail and playlist-explorer fall back to parent pages since they need runtime context.
- move artist-detail discography resolution onto the shared source-priority metadata service
- keep the variant dedup helper in the UI-facing adapter
- pass the chosen source through completion checks
- add coverage for the new adapter and dedup behavior
Move completion checks into metadata_service and make them follow the configured metadata source priority.
Drop the old test-mode path, remove the web_server wrapper indirection, and keep artist inference on explicit release metadata instead of guessing from a track search.
Add coverage for the source-priority completion behavior and the safer artist-name handling.
- Fix level filter showing nothing: now uses heuristic classification
for print() output (error/traceback/failed→ERROR, warn→WARNING, etc.)
in addition to exact logger format matching
- Speed up WebSocket updates from 2s to 0.5s polling
- Add search box with 300ms debounce — filters both initial load and live
- Use DocumentFragment for batch DOM appends (performance)
- Increase line cap from 1000 to 2000
- Backend search parameter support in /api/logs/tail
Terminal-style real-time log viewer with:
- Log file selector (app, post-processing, acoustid, source reuse)
- Color-coded log levels (DEBUG gray, INFO blue, WARNING yellow, ERROR red)
- Level filter buttons (All/Debug/Info/Warn/Error)
- Auto-scroll with toggle, copy and clear buttons
- Live updates via WebSocket (2s polling, pushes new lines)
- Initial load fetches last 200 lines via REST API
- 1000-line display cap with oldest lines trimmed
Also fixes Advanced tab settings (Discovery Pool, Security, etc.) being
hidden inside collapsed Library Preferences section body — misplaced
closing div caused them to be invisible.
The close button and backdrop click handlers were only attached when
the Tools page was visited (initializeToolHelpButtons). Automation
builder '?' buttons open the same modal but the close handlers were
never set up. Added inline onclick handlers to the modal HTML and a
global Escape key listener so closing works from any page.
Your Albums cards on the Discover page were using the YouTube/playlist
modal (openDownloadMissingModalForYouTube) instead of the album modal
(openDownloadMissingModalForArtistAlbum). Now displays with proper
album hero section and uses album download context for file organization.
New toggle in Settings → Library → Post-Processing: "Apply ReplayGain
tags after download". When enabled, analyzes loudness via ffmpeg's
ebur128 filter and writes track-level ReplayGain gain/peak tags.
Runs after metadata tagging but before lossy copy so both files get
the tags. Off by default — adds a few seconds per track.
Applied to both album and playlist/single download paths.
New core/genre_filter.py with ~180 curated default genres. When strict
mode is enabled in Settings → Library Preferences → Genre Whitelist,
only whitelisted genres pass through during enrichment. Junk tags from
Last.fm (artist names, radio shows, playlist names) are silently dropped.
Applied at all 10 genre write points: Spotify, Last.fm, AudioDB, Deezer,
Discogs, iTunes, Qobuz enrichment workers + post-processing genre merge
+ initial download artist/album creation.
Strict mode is OFF by default — zero behavior change for existing users.
First enable auto-populates the whitelist with defaults. Users can add,
remove, search, and reset genres via the Settings UI.
When clicking a track in enhanced or global search, the download modal
correctly showed SINGLE but the download used is_album_download=true,
causing the file to be organized under the album path template instead
of the singles template. Now enhanced_search_track_ and gsearch_track_
prefixes pass album metadata for tagging but set is_album_download=false.
The source detection chain for playlist hero sections didn't handle
the 'spotify:liked-songs' playlist ID prefix, falling through to the
default 'YouTube' label. Added 'spotify:' prefix check.
Dashboard scan polling checked for 'completed' but backend sets 'finished'.
Added 'finished' to the completion check so polling stops, button resets,
stats refresh, and toast fires correctly. Also fixed deep scan reporting
stale record removals as 'failed' instead of 'successful'.
The disabled path field on the Connections tab was showing stale data
(always ./Transfer) because it read from the DOM before settings loaded.
Removed it entirely — the output path is configured on the Downloads tab.
Standalone section now just shows description + verify button.
Non-active tab groups were visible during async data loading because
switchSettingsTab ran after the awaits. Moved it before async calls and
added CSS defaults to hide non-connections groups, preventing any flash.
All user-facing labels, docs, help text, tooltips, error messages, and debug
info output updated. Backend config keys, variable names, actual path values,
and Docker volume mounts are completely unchanged — zero functional impact.
Users can now override which metadata provider (Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music,
Discogs) is used when scanning a specific watchlist artist for new releases.
The selector appears in the artist config modal and only shows sources the
artist has enrichment IDs for. Default behavior is unchanged — all artists
use the global metadata source unless explicitly overridden.
"Sync This Playlist" buttons in YouTube/Tidal/Deezer/Spotify/Beatport/
ListenBrainz discovery modals were not gated by _isSoulsyncStandalone.
Added check to the hasSpotifyMatches condition that generates them.
The Sync page was hidden entirely for standalone users, blocking
access to playlist browsing, discovery, and downloads. Now the page
is accessible — only the sync-to-server buttons are hidden since
there's no server to push playlists to.
openDownloadMissingModal showed loading overlay but didn't hide it
on error paths (playlist not found, fetch failure). The overlay
persisted across page navigation, blocking the entire UI.
Three collapsible categories, collapsed by default:
- Paths & Organization (file templates + music library paths)
- Post-Processing (metadata, tags, conversion, lyrics)
- Library Preferences (import, content filter, stats, playlists, M3U)
Section headers have data-stg=library so they only appear on the
Library tab. Bolder headers with accent-colored arrows and subtle
border. Collapse state preserved when switching settings tabs.
Delay alternate-source fan-out until the primary enhanced-search response arrives, and stagger those follow-up requests so they do not all compete at once. Also parallelize artist, album, and track lookups inside each metadata source request to shorten the time the UI thread spends waiting on remote APIs. This keeps the single-worker web UI more responsive under the app's chatty search flow.
New MusicBrainz tab in Enhanced and Global search — finds tracks and
albums on MusicBrainz's community database with Cover Art Archive
images. Covers obscure tracks that Spotify/Deezer/iTunes miss.
- core/musicbrainz_search.py: search adapter with Track/Artist/Album
dataclasses, Cover Art Archive integration, smart query parsing
- Albums deduplicated (keeps best version with date and art)
- No artist results shown (MusicBrainz has no artist images)
- Album detail with full tracklist for download modal
- Smart word-boundary splitting for queries without separators
- Global search results container widened from 620px to 920px
- UI version bumped to 2.32
SoulSync Standalone Library is now the first section in both the
version modal and What's New popup. Auto-Import section updated with
all improvements (recursive scan, singles, tag preference, AcoustID).
New Downloads & Soulseek section groups download-related improvements.
Recent Fixes cleaned up — feature items moved to proper sections.
All sync-related buttons hidden when active server is SoulSync
Standalone. Covers static buttons (querySelectorAll on status update)
and dynamic modal buttons (_isSoulsyncStandalone flag).
UI version bumped to 2.31 (Docker stays at 2.3).
No media server to sync playlists to — sync page is irrelevant.
M3U generation is still available via settings toggle and download
modal buttons for standalone users who want playlist files.
Fourth server option on the Connections tab with SoulSync logo and
'Standalone' label. Config panel shows Transfer folder path and
Verify Folder button. Test connection counts audio files in the
Transfer folder. Settings save/load properly detects soulsync toggle.
Race condition: scanner re-scanned folders while post-processing was
still moving files, causing partial matches and ghost failures. Now
tracks in-progress paths and skips them on subsequent scans.
Coverage penalty fix: individual tracks that match at 80%+ confidence
now auto-import even when overall album coverage is low (e.g. 2 of 18
tracks present). Previously low coverage killed the entire import.
Import page: stats bar, filter pills, Scan Now, Approve All, Clear
History (clears imported + failed), live scan progress.
- Track numbers defaulted to 1 instead of using metadata source values
- Release dates not captured, causing missing year in path templates
- Cover art missing for Deezer (direct image_url not checked)
- Track names in expanded view showed Unknown (wrong JSON field name)
- Read year/date from embedded file tags as fallback
- Add Deezer get_album_metadata/get_album_tracks fallbacks
- Handle Deezer tracks.data response format
Toggle appeared off when running because CSS :checked rules were
scoped to .repair-master-toggle. Added auto-import-toggle-label
selectors. Refresh now re-renders whichever tab is active.
Toggle state was set by browser click, then immediately overwritten by
the status reload callback. Now optimistically sets the toggle and
status text before the API call, reverting only on failure.
Album delete now shows a smart delete dialog with two options:
- Remove from Library (DB only, files untouched)
- Delete Files Too (removes DB records AND deletes audio files from
disk, cleans up empty album folder)
Backend /api/library/album/<id> DELETE now accepts ?delete_files=true
parameter, resolves each track's file path, and removes files before
deleting DB records. Reports files_deleted and files_failed counts.
autoSavePlaylistM3U was called on every 2-second poll cycle once any
track completed, flooding the server with heavyweight M3U generation
requests (fuzzy matching all tracks against the DB). This exhausted
Flask's thread pool, causing the batch status endpoint to hang and
killing the poller — making the modal freeze mid-download.
Now fires once when the batch completes instead of on every poll.
- Include completed batches in poll cycle so late task updates still
render (prevents modal freezing when batch completes before all rows
update)
- Require server to report no active tasks before client-side
completion fires (prevents phase=complete from prematurely ending UI)
- Apply same fix to backoff poller and WebSocket resubscription
Note: modal stalling issue persists — setInterval stops firing after
~12 cycles for unknown reasons. Needs deeper browser-level debugging.
The global download poller was disabled when WebSocket was connected,
but WebSocket connections can silently stop delivering messages without
triggering a disconnect event (room subscription lost, server emit
error, proxy timeout). This left modals frozen while downloads
continued server-side. Removing the socketConnected gate ensures the
2-second HTTP poll always runs as a fallback alongside WebSocket.
When adding tracks to wishlist from a playlist download modal,
process.artist was undefined (only set for album downloads) and
defaulted to {name: 'Unknown Artist'}. This got stored in
source_info.artist_name and was prioritized over the track's own
artist data during wishlist download post-processing.
Now resolves the artist per-track from the track's own artists array,
falling back to the process-level artist only for album downloads
where it's actually set correctly.
Soulseek results from "Various Artists", "VA", "Unknown Artist", and
"Unknown Album" folders are now rejected before scoring. These
compilation folders rarely contain properly tagged files for the target
artist.
Clearing the wishlist now also cancels any active wishlist download
batch and resets the auto-processing flag, so downloads don't keep
running after the source tracks are removed.
Split Downloads page into main list (left) and batch panel (right).
Each active batch gets a color-coded card with artwork thumbnail,
progress bar, per-track status with download percentages, and
expandable track list. Download rows get matching color indicators.
- Click batch name to open its download/wishlist modal
- Filter icon narrows main list to one batch with clear banner
- Collapsible panel toggle for full-width list view
- Completed batches fade out after 15 seconds
- 7-day batch history with source type color dots
- Artwork fallback shows colored initial when no art available
- Per-track progress: download %, spinner for searching, proc label
- source_page column on sync_history for UI origin tracking
- /api/downloads/all includes batch summaries and per-track progress
- /api/downloads/batch-history endpoint for history queries
- Responsive layout, overflow-x hidden to prevent scroll flicker
Clicking the Download Wishlist button while auto-processing was active
only showed a toast telling the user to check the Downloads page. Now
navigates there directly so progress is immediately visible.
Priority 0 query (artist + album + title) was gated behind a download
mode check that excluded Soulseek, the source that benefits most from
it. Soulseek searches match against file paths where users organize as
Artist/Album/Track — without the album name, ambiguous artist names
could match wrong-artist results (e.g. "Bleakness" as an album folder
instead of an artist). Removed the mode gate so all sources get the
most specific query first.
Dashboard stats (every 10s) and download status endpoint were
unconditionally calling slskd transfers/downloads API, causing
connection timeout spam for users with a slskd URL configured but
using YouTube/Tidal/etc as their download source. Now checks both
download source mode and status cache before making the API call.
Adds April 17 entries for Auto-Import, Wishlist Nebula, automation group
management, bidirectional artist sync, provider-agnostic discovery, live
sidebar badges, and critical source ID embedding fix. Version modal
reorganized to lead with current features and summarize earlier v2.2 work.
Full auto-import pipeline: background worker watches the staging folder,
identifies music using embedded tags → folder name parsing → AcoustID
fingerprinting, matches files to metadata source tracklists, and
processes high-confidence matches through the existing post-processing
pipeline automatically.
Worker: AutoImportWorker with start/stop/pause/resume, configurable
scan interval (default 60s), confidence threshold (default 90%), and
auto-process toggle. Processes one folder per cycle, alphabetical
order. Disc folder detection, stability checking, content hash dedup.
Confidence gate: 90%+ auto-processes silently, 70-90% queued as
pending review with approve/dismiss actions, <70% flagged for manual
identification. Track matching uses weighted algorithm (title 45%,
artist 15%, track number 30%, album tag 10%).
Database: auto_import_history table tracks every scan result with
folder hash, match data JSON, confidence, status, timestamps.
API: 7 endpoints — status, toggle, settings (GET/POST), results
(filtered/paginated), approve, reject.
UI: Auto tab on Import page with enable toggle, confidence slider,
scan interval selector. Live result cards with album art, confidence
bar (green/yellow/red), status badges, match stats. 5-second polling.
Server Playlists tab now displays ALL playlists from the media server,
split into two sections: Synced Playlists (with mirrored/history match,
full opacity, "Synced" badge, "Open Editor" action) and Other Server
Playlists (everything else, dimmed at 70%, "View Tracks" action). Both
sections have header with icon, title, and count. Unsynced cards fade
to full opacity on hover.
Artist Sync button on enhanced library page now does true bidirectional
sync: Phase 1 pulls new albums/tracks from the media server using the
DatabaseUpdateWorker in deep scan mode (preserves enrichment), Phase 2
removes stale DB entries for files no longer on disk. Works for Plex,
Jellyfin, and Navidrome. Toast shows +albums, +tracks, -stale counts.
Repair jobs tab redesigned: 2-column grid layout with glass gradient
cards, accent top line on hover, hover lift effect, job description
text below name, running state with pulsing accent bar. Responsive
to single column under 900px.
Fixed deezer_artist_id → deezer_id column name on artists table lookup.
Watchlist scanner: empty discography (no new releases in lookback) was
treated as API failure, causing "Failed to get artist discography" for
artists like Kendrick Lamar who simply had no recent releases. Now
distinguishes None (API failure → try next source) from [] (success,
no new tracks). Spotify backfill now uses the authenticated client
instance instead of creating a fresh unauthenticated one.
Wishlist nebula: album remove now sends album_name (API updated to
accept album_name as fallback alongside album_id). Track remove
re-renders the nebula after deletion. Toned down processing pulse
animation.
Updated test to verify fallback triggers on API failure (None), not
on empty results.
Expanded albums: click album tile to reveal track list with per-track
remove buttons. Art shrinks to banner, title/count move to static
position, tracks scroll at 200px max-height. Handles many albums with
flex-wrap and align-items: flex-start.
Expanded singles: visible labels below 44px art circles, remove button
on hover. No longer tooltip-only.
Live processing: polls wishlist stats every 5s, detects auto-processing
and manual download batches. Orbs pulse with accent glow during active
processing. Nebula auto-refreshes when tracks complete (count decreases).
Polling stops on page navigation.
Download flow: single "Download Wishlist" button opens category choice
dialog (Albums/Singles with counts). If processing is already active,
shows toast or reopens existing download modal. Toned down processing
pulse animation (3s cycle, scale 1.03, brightness 1.1).
Eight visual upgrades to the wishlist nebula:
1. Watchlist artist photos used for orb images (cross-referenced via API)
2. Hover tooltip with artist name and track count
3. Pulse animation on orbs when their category is next in auto-processing
4. Album art ring — tiny covers orbit each orb in a slow spinning ring
5. Staggered entry animation — orbs fade in and float up on page load
6. Click artist name to navigate to Artists page with search pre-filled
7. Improved label styling with accent color hover + underline
8. Responsive art ring sizing per orb size class
Bespoke wishlist page design: each artist is a glowing orb sized by
track count (sm/md/lg), with a spinning conic gradient ring colored by
artist name hash. Click to expand — albums appear as satellite rows
with cover art, singles as compact pills. Remove buttons on hover at
every level (album, single track).
Search bar filters orbs in real-time. Download Albums/Singles buttons
trigger the existing category download flow. Orbs sorted by track count
(biggest artists first). Responsive layout with mobile breakpoints.
The active-process check could hang or return stale data, making the
button feel unresponsive. Added 2-second timeout with AbortController,
fast path for already-visible client process, and graceful fallback to
navigateToPage on rehydration failure or timeout.
Added z-index: 10 to .dashboard-header to elevate its stacking context
above the dashboard content sections. Bumped all 13 worker orb tooltip
z-index values from 1000 to 5000. The tooltips now render above section
headers when they drop downward from the header into the content area.
Full automation page upgrade with group management and drag-and-drop:
Backend: batch_update_group() and bulk_set_enabled() DB methods, new
PUT /api/automations/group and POST /api/automations/bulk-toggle endpoints.
Group headers: rename (inline edit), delete (choice dialog — keep
automations or delete all), bulk toggle (enable/disable all in group).
Actions appear on hover, styled as small icon buttons.
Drag and drop: non-system cards are draggable between group sections.
Drop zones show dashed accent border feedback. Collapsed sections
auto-expand on 500ms drag-hover. System/Hub sections dimmed during drag.
dragenter counter pattern handles child element bubbling.
Delete group dialog: glass card modal with three options — keep
automations (move to My Automations), delete everything, or cancel.
Sidebar nav badges now update from HTTP polling (every 10s), WebSocket
pushes, and page init — counts stay current regardless of which page
the user is on. Wishlist icon changed from music note to star in both
sidebar and page title to distinguish from Artists page.
Worker orbs now centered across the full header width instead of
right-aligned. Watchlist/Wishlist buttons moved to absolute top-right
corner in their own container, preventing tooltip overflow from pushing
them to a second line. Import button removed from header (accessible
via sidebar).
Responsive: at 900px quick-nav drops to static full-width row, worker
orb tooltips hidden on mobile (status visible via orb color/spinner,
details on Tools page). At 768px everything stacks vertically.
Adaptive card on the Dashboard showing library state with four modes:
- No server: gold accent, directs to Settings
- Disconnected: gold warning with troubleshooting guidance
- Empty library: blue accent with prominent Scan Now button
- Healthy: green accent with stats grid (artists/albums/tracks/DB size),
Refresh button (incremental) and Deep Scan button (full re-check)
Stats displayed as mini cards with individual icons. Animated glow orb,
gradient accent top line, shimmer progress bar during scans. Deep scan
added to /api/database/update endpoint (deep_scan flag) — re-checks
every track, adds new ones, removes stale, preserves enrichment data.
Confirmation dialog explains what deep scan does before starting.
When the DB stored a path the resolver couldn't map to a local file
(common with Navidrome virtual paths or Docker path mismatches), file
deletion was silently skipped — the DB record was removed but the file
stayed on disk with no indication to the user.
Now logs the resolution failure with the stored path, returns a
file_error in the API response, and the frontend shows a warning toast
explaining the file wasn't deleted plus a second toast with the specific
reason (e.g. Navidrome 'Report Real Path' instructions).
Dashboard Tools & Operations section replaced with a compact link card.
All 10 tool cards moved to a dedicated Tools page in the sidebar, grouped
into three sections: Database & Scanning, Metadata & Cache, Management.
Library Maintenance promoted to hero position at the top of the page with
accent top bar, logo, enable toggle, and tabbed content (Jobs, Findings,
History) — no longer buried in a modal. openRepairModal() now navigates
to the Tools page. Repair modal HTML removed.
Tool initialization extracted from loadDashboardData() into a dedicated
initializeToolsPage() with idempotent event listener wiring. Container
sizing updated to use margin: 20px (matching Dashboard/Stats) instead of
max-width: 1400px for consistent full-width appearance across all pages.
Watchlist and Wishlist are now proper sidebar pages with full design
treatment matching the app's established visual language — glass
containers, gradient headers, accent lines, card hover effects.
Watchlist page: artist grid with sort (name/scan date/date added),
search filter, last scan summary strip, live scan activity, batch
selection, all existing sub-modals (artist config, global settings,
artist detail slideout) preserved and working.
Wishlist page: stats strip (album count, singles count, next cycle),
category cards with mosaic backgrounds, track list with inline search
filter, batch operations, download integration. Auto-processing
detection on header button shows download progress modal when active.
Header buttons rewired to navigate to pages. All refresh points updated
to reinitialize pages instead of reopening modals. Timer/polling cleanup
on page navigation. Artist detail overlay converted to fixed positioning.
Recording MBIDs are now pulled from the matched release tracklist instead
of independent match_recording() searches, guaranteeing the recording ID
is consistent with the selected release. Batch-level artist name is used
for release cache keys so all tracks hit the same preflight-cached entry
even when Soulseek metadata spells the artist differently. A post-batch
consistency pass (run_album_consistency) rewrites album-level tags on all
files after the batch completes — the safety net that prevents Navidrome
album splits even when per-track lookups drift.
Two-layer detection: (1) check the Qobuz API response for sample=True
before downloading, and (2) validate actual file duration with mutagen
after download — if under 35 seconds, delete and return None. Qobuz
returns valid audio files for previews (~2-5MB FLAC) that pass the
existing 100KB size check, so duration is the reliable signal.
Artists with an existing spotify_artist_id but NULL spotify_match_status
were fetched by the priority queue every ~3 seconds. _process_artist
returned early (preserving the ID) without marking the status, so the
same artist was re-queued indefinitely — burning CPU and inflating API
call counters. Now marks the artist as 'matched' on the early-return
path.
New POST /api/v1/request endpoint accepts a search query from external
sources (Discord bots, Home Assistant, curl) and triggers the
search-match-download pipeline asynchronously. Returns a request_id
for status polling via GET /api/v1/request/<id>. Optional notify_url
for callback on completion.
Also adds webhook_received trigger type and search_and_download action
type to the automation engine, so users can build custom flows like
"when webhook received → search & download → notify Discord".
Includes info panel in Settings showing endpoint URL and curl example.
The import section appeared twice in the saveSettings object literal —
the second key (staging_path only) silently overwrote the first
(replace_lower_quality). JavaScript uses last-wins for duplicate keys.
Merged into a single import block.
Two bugs: (1) 'wishlist' was missing from the settings save whitelist,
so the toggle silently reset to ON on every page reload. (2) The
wishlist cleanup function unconditionally removed tracks sharing the
same name+artist regardless of album, ignoring the allow_duplicates
setting. Now when allow_duplicates is on, the dedup key includes the
album name so same song from different albums can coexist.
Auth instruction pages and log messages now use the actual configured
callback port instead of hardcoding 8888. Added startup logging that
prints whether SOULSYNC_SPOTIFY/TIDAL_CALLBACK_PORT env vars were
detected, helping diagnose Unraid/Docker env var issues. Also fixes
uses_main_port detection for custom callback ports and moves the
wishlist button handler to global init so it works on all pages.
The `complete` flag from polling responses was never forwarded into the
transformed status object passed to `updateYouTubeDiscoveryModal`, so
the `if (status.complete)` block that swaps the footer from the
'Discovering...' spinner to the Sync / Download Missing buttons never
fired. Fixed for all three affected sources: Tidal, Deezer, and Spotify
Public — both the WebSocket and HTTP polling paths for each.
Explored status was stored only in frontend memory; on reload the badge
disappeared because the API never returned it. Added explored_at column
to mirrored_playlists (auto-migrated), written when build-tree completes,
and read back via SELECT * so the badge survives page refreshes.
Spotify was being called for album/artist data fetching across multiple
background workers and the Artists page search even when the user had
Deezer or iTunes set as their primary metadata source. Being authenticated
for playlist sync was treated as permission to use Spotify for everything.
- watchlist_scanner: add _spotify_is_primary_source() that checks both
auth and primary source config; use it for all album/artist data fetching
(discovery pool, recent album caching, playlist curation, similar artist
ID matching, proactive ID backfill). _spotify_available_for_run() is kept
for sync_spotify_library_cache which must run regardless of primary source
- repair_jobs/metadata_gap_filler: gate Spotify ISRC lookup on primary
source being 'spotify'; MusicBrainz lookup unaffected
- repair_jobs/unknown_artist_fixer: replace hardcoded spotify_client with
source-aware client selection — primary source ID tried first, each ID
matched to its correct client (fixes latent bug passing Deezer IDs to
Spotify)
- web_server.py /api/match/search: Artists page search was hardcoded to
spotify_client.search_artists(); now uses _get_metadata_fallback_client()
so results come from the configured primary source
Adds a new Last.fm Radio section to the Discover page that lets users
search a track on Last.fm, generate a similar-tracks playlist, and run
it through the existing discovery/download/sync pipeline. Also generates
playlists automatically from top listening history during watchlist scans
(max once per week).
- core/lastfm_client.py: Add get_similar_tracks() using track.getsimilar
- core/listenbrainz_manager.py: Add save_lastfm_radio_playlist() with
deterministic MBID (MD5 seed), cleanup limit of 5 for lastfm_radio type
- web_server.py: Add /api/lastfm/configured, /api/lastfm/search/tracks,
/api/lastfm/radio/generate, /api/discover/listenbrainz/lastfm-radio;
fix playlist['name'] KeyError in discovery worker that was resetting
phase back to 'fresh' after completion
- core/watchlist_scanner.py: Add _generate_lastfm_radio_playlists() with
weekly throttle, called at end of scan_all_watchlist_artists()
- webui/index.html: Add #lastfm-radio-section above ListenBrainz section,
hidden unless Last.fm API key is configured
- webui/static/script.js: Search/generation/card-load functions; fix
discovery modal labels (Last.fm Radio vs ListenBrainz), description
update on completion, belt-and-suspenders completion handling inside
updateYouTubeDiscoveryModal; fix album/duration display for tracks
without metadata; music note SVG placeholder for missing art
- webui/static/style.css: Styles for search bar, dropdown, result rows
After a page refresh JS state is wiped, so currentTrack is null and the
player widget stays hidden even though the backend is still streaming.
The backend already includes track_info (name/artist/album/image_url) in
every tool:stream push. The 'ready' case in both handlers now calls
setTrackInfo() when no track is loaded, which unhides the player and
populates title/artist before startAudioPlayback() runs.
The sidebar player was a poor use of vertical real estate and created the
collapsed-state layout issues. The mini player is now a fixed 360px widget
at bottom-right (above the bell/help buttons), matching the convention of
most streaming apps.
Changes:
- Removed media player from sidebar; sidebar spacer now pushes support/version
section to bottom as before
- New .mini-player-body horizontal layout: album art | track info | controls
- Added prev/next skip buttons (mini-nav-btn) with same skip logic as the
Now Playing modal; updateNpPrevNextButtons() now syncs both sets
- .media-player.idle now display:none (widget hides entirely when no track)
- Progress bar is a flush full-width line at the top of the widget
- Volume slider kept as hidden DOM element for JS compatibility; volume is
set via the Now Playing modal
- Toast container moved up to bottom:174px to stay above the mini player
- expand-hint button updated to four-corner expand icon, opens NP modal
- All volumeSlider and click-exclusion references updated for null-safety
The stream 'stopped' backend event was calling clearTrack() in both the
WebSocket handler (updateStreamStatusFromData) and the polling handler
(updateStreamStatus), which added the .idle class and collapsed the player
to zero height. This fired whenever audio ended naturally or when
transitioning between queue items (playQueueItem calls stopStream() to reset
backend state before loading the next track).
The explicit stop button (handleStop) already calls clearTrack() directly, so
the 'stopped' event handlers don't need to — and shouldn't.
New core/replaygain.py module uses FFmpeg's ebur128 filter (already a
project dependency) to analyze integrated loudness and true peak, then
writes ReplayGain 2.0 tags (-18 LUFS reference) to MP3 (TXXX frames),
FLAC/OGG/Opus (Vorbis comments), and M4A/MP4 (freeform atoms).
Three analysis modes in the enhanced library view:
- Per-track RG button: synchronous single-track analysis (~1-3 s)
- Album "ReplayGain" button: background job writing both track gain
and album gain (mean LUFS across all album tracks) to every file
- Bulk bar "ReplayGain" button: batch track-gain for selected tracks
read_file_tags() in tag_writer.py extended with four new optional keys
(replaygain_track_gain/_peak, replaygain_album_gain/_peak) so existing
RG values surface in the tag-preview diff view. Purely additive — no
existing endpoints or DB schema changed.
Singles could not be saved as a flat file (e.g. "$artist - $title")
because the frontend blocked any template without a "/" and the
backend path builder treated an empty folder_path as falsy, falling
through to the hardcoded nested-folder structure.
Frontend: removed the must-include-slash validation for single
templates only (album templates still require it).
Backend: changed condition from `if folder_path and filename_base`
to `if filename_base` so an empty folder_path is handled correctly
as a flat drop into the transfer root.
M3U entries now resolve actual file paths from the DB instead of
synthesising a fake 'Artist - Title.mp3' string that no media server
could use. Adds optional M3U Entry Base Path setting (Downloads tab)
so servers requiring absolute paths (e.g. /mnt/music) can be supported.
- New POST /api/generate-playlist-m3u endpoint: per-artist batch DB
lookups with fuzzy title matching, prefixes entry_base_path when set
- autoSavePlaylistM3U and exportPlaylistAsM3U now call the new endpoint
- M3U Entry Base Path input added below Music Videos Dir in settings,
follows path-input-group pattern with Unlock button and autosave
Album completeness and downstream repair flow now follow the configured
primary provider first, with Discogs and Hydrabase support added alongside
existing Spotify, iTunes, and Deezer paths.
Keep spotify_track_id for compatibility while preserving source-aware track
IDs for provider-neutral handling.
Server Playlists was filtered to only show playlists matching mirrored_playlists entries,
but Discover syncs are stored in sync_history (not mirrored_playlists), so they were
excluded. Adds GET /api/sync/history/names returning distinct synced playlist names,
and includes those in the filter alongside mirrored playlists.
_try_staging_match() built a minimal context missing spotify_artist,
spotify_album, is_album_download, and has_clean_spotify_data. Post-
processing returned early at the missing-spotify_artist guard and the
copied file was left at the transfer root with its original filename.
Now mirrors the sync modal worker's context-building: uses
_explicit_album_context/_explicit_artist_context when available
(artist-page album downloads), falls back to track.album/track.artists
for playlists and sync modal. track_number and disc_number are also
forwarded so multi-disc albums land in the correct Disc N/ subfolder.
Builds a new Your Albums section on the Discover page that aggregates
saved/liked albums from all connected services, mirroring the Your Artists
pattern. Deezer works via both OAuth and ARL.
- tidal_client: add get_favorite_albums() with V2/V1 API fallback
- deezer_client: add get_user_favorite_albums() via OAuth (user/me/albums)
- deezer_download_client: add get_user_favorite_albums() via ARL session
- music_database: add liked_albums_pool table (deduped by artist::album
normalized key), upsert_liked_album, get_liked_albums,
get_liked_albums_last_fetch, clear_liked_albums
- web_server: GET /api/discover/your-albums (ownership-checked, paginated),
GET /api/discover/your-albums/sources, POST /api/discover/your-albums/refresh,
_fetch_liked_albums background worker (Spotify + Tidal + Deezer OAuth/ARL)
- frontend: Your Albums section with source selector cog, album grid reusing
spotify-library-card styles, search/filter/sort/pagination, download missing
button, auto-refresh poll on first load
Also fix: Deezer greyed out in Your Artists sources when using ARL — connection
check now accepts ARL auth (deezer_dl.is_authenticated()) in addition to OAuth,
and _fetch_and_match_liked_artists falls back to ARL client for artist fetching.
Three issues fixed:
1. Plex add-track used delete+recreate (Playlist.create) which was
unreliable — switched to addItems() which atomically appends the
track without touching existing playlist items.
2. After a successful add, the UI only did an optimistic local update.
On reopen the automatic matcher ran fresh and couldn't connect the
manually selected track to the source slot, making it look unfixed.
Now both add and replace re-fetch the compare view from the server
so the matcher sees the actual updated Plex state.
3. Matching algorithm was too strict for common title variants. Added
_norm_title() which strips feat./ft., remaster/remastered, and
edition qualifiers before comparison — so "Boy 1904" matches
"Boy 1904 (2019 Remaster)" and "Float Away" matches "Float Away
(feat. Flamingosis & Eric Benny Bloom)". Display titles unchanged.
Gear button next to View All opens a sources modal letting users pick
which connected services (Spotify, Tidal, Last.fm, Deezer) contribute
artists to the Your Artists carousel. Setting saved via standard
/api/settings endpoint under discover.your_artists_sources.
- GET /api/discover/your-artists/sources returns enabled config + which
services are currently connected
- _fetch_and_match_liked_artists skips sources not in the enabled list
- Disconnected services shown dimmed and non-interactive in modal
- Saving with nothing selected blocked with error toast
- Remove z-index from .sidebar-header (fixes artist map overlap)
- Add padding-bottom to #automations-list-view (search bar overlap fix)
Add a 10vh bottom padding rule for #automations-list-view in webui/static/style.css to provide extra spacing at the bottom of the automations list and prevent content from being obscured by fixed UI elements (e.g., footer).
Add padding-bottom: 10vh to #settings-page .settings-content so the
bottom section is not obscured by the floating search bar overlay.
Closes#292 (item 3)
Replace div badges with data-url/onclick handlers by semantic <a> elements (with href, target="_blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer") for clickable artist badges, keeping non-clickable badges as divs. Update CSS to target .artist-hero-badge and unify hover/image rules instead of relying on data-url attribute, preserving visual behavior and removing pointer cursor for non-clickable divs. Also remove rendering of the server_source badge from the artist meta panel. These changes improve accessibility, security, and maintainability of badge markup and styling.
Version bump to 2.3 with rewritten What's New modal covering all
changes since v2.2. Docker publish workflow default updated.
Sidebar improvements:
- Header stays pinned at top while nav and player scroll beneath it
- Media player collapses to compact single-line when no track is
playing, expands to full size when playback starts
Fixes:
- Server playlists endpoint Plex Tag object crash (getattr fix)
- Server playlists tab auto-refreshes after download completion
- Fixed dead code syntax error in archived version notes
sync-tab-content had overflow:hidden which clipped long content like
the file import preview table and server playlist editor. Changed to
overflow-y:auto so all sync tabs scroll when content exceeds the
container height.
M3U generator was calling .join() on an array of artist objects instead
of extracting .name first, producing "[object Object] - Track Name".
Now handles all artist formats: array of objects, array of strings,
single string, single object.
Also fix "name 'database' is not defined" error when updating album
year in post-processing — was using bare 'database' instead of
get_database() helper.
Single track downloads from Search, album downloads, redownloads, and
issue downloads were not in the M3U skip list, so auto-save M3U created
playlist files for them. Expanded skip list to cover all non-playlist
prefixes: enhanced_search_track_, issue_download_, library_redownload_,
and redownload_.
Dynamic music path inputs were created after auto-save listeners were
attached, so typing in them never triggered a save. Now attaches change
listeners when creating or rendering path rows. Removing a path also
triggers auto-save immediately.
New sidebar page showing every download task across the app in a unified
live-updating list. Tracks from Sync, Discover, Artists, Search, and
Wishlist all appear in one place.
Features:
- Filter pills: All / Active / Queued / Completed / Failed
- Section headers grouping by status category
- Track position (3 of 19) for album/playlist batches
- Album art, artist/album metadata, batch context, error messages
- Status dots with accent glow for active, green for complete, red fail
- Clear Completed button removes terminal items from tracker
- Nav badge shows active download count from any page via WebSocket
Fixes artist [object Object] display — handles all format variations
(list of dicts, list of strings, dict, string) for artist and album
fields in the API response.
Each step now explains what it does and how it connects to the rest of
SoulSync. Metadata step explains catalog vs download source. Download
step explains the search-match-download pipeline and Hybrid mode. Paths
step explains the two-folder system. Watchlist step explains Discover
page, scanner schedule, and per-artist filters. First Download step
explains the full tagging and organization pipeline. Done page adds a
2x3 tips grid covering Sync, Wishlist, Automations, Notifications,
Interactive Help, and Settings.
Wizard now shows automatically on fresh installs. Detection uses a
server-side flag (setup.completed) plus download_source.mode as a
fallback for existing users who configured settings before the wizard
existed. Config.json template defaults no longer fool the check.
Script load order fixed — setup-wizard.js loads before script.js so
openSetupWizard exists when DOMContentLoaded fires. Both finish and
skip paths set the server flag and localStorage, then continue app
initialization via callback.
7-step full-screen wizard: Welcome, Metadata Source, Download Source,
Paths & Media Server, Add Artists, First Download, Done. All settings
save to DB identically to the Settings page. Supports all 6 download
sources with inline config and test buttons. First download goes through
the full matched download pipeline with metadata context.
Fixes:
- Download clients (YouTube/HiFi/Tidal/Qobuz/Deezer) now reload
download_path when settings change instead of caching from init
- watchlist_artists table migrations now include deezer_artist_id and
discogs_artist_id in all 3 table rebuild locations (was being dropped)
- CREATE TABLE for watchlist_artists includes all provider ID columns
- Serverless download sources (YouTube/HiFi/Qobuz) show green status
instead of red disconnected on sidebar and dashboard
- Suppress repeated slskd 401 errors — logs once then silences until
connection recovers
Profile creation was missing Listening Stats, Playlist Explorer, and
Issues from the page access checkboxes. Home page dropdown was missing
Stats, Playlist Explorer, and Help & Docs. Both admin and self-edit
pageLabels dicts updated to match.
Added _streamLock flag to startStream() that prevents concurrent stream
requests when the user clicks play multiple times before the first
request completes. Lock is released in finally block so it always
clears on success, error, or exception.
Previously, rapid clicks would fire multiple stream requests to the
backend, each creating a separate audio playback — the only way to
stop them was a browser force refresh.
Lidarr integration:
- New core/lidarr_download_client.py with full interface parity
(search, download, status, cancel — same as Qobuz/Tidal/HiFi)
- Registered in download orchestrator with source routing
- Settings: URL + API key on Downloads tab with connection test
- Available as standalone source or in Hybrid mode priority order
- API key encrypted at rest
- All streaming source checks updated to include 'lidarr'
Lidarr downloads full albums via Usenet/torrent — SoulSync imports
only the tracks it needs and discards the rest.
Music video path validation:
- Empty/unconfigured path returns clear error instead of silent failure
- Write permission test before starting download
- Default changed from './MusicVideos' to empty (must be configured)
- Moved _downloadMusicVideo to top-level scope so global search can use
it (was inside enhanced search conditional that only runs on downloads page)
- Global search video cards use base64 data attributes to avoid JSON
escaping issues in onclick handlers
- Darkened thumbnail overlay during download for better progress visibility
- Larger progress ring (52px) with accent-colored glow shadow
Click any video card in Music Videos tab to download. Flow:
1. Search primary metadata source for clean artist/title
2. Fall back to YouTube title parsing if no match
3. Download video via yt-dlp (best quality MP4)
4. Save to configured Music Videos folder as Artist/Title-video.mp4
UI shows circular progress ring on the thumbnail during download,
green checkmark on completion, red X on error (clickable to retry).
Cards are non-interactive while downloading.
Backend: /api/music-video/download and /api/music-video/status endpoints
YouTube client: download_music_video() method keeps video format
New "Music Videos" pill tab alongside Spotify/Deezer/iTunes/Discogs
in both enhanced search and global search. Searches YouTube via yt-dlp
and displays results in a video card grid with 16:9 thumbnails, play
overlay, duration badge, channel name, and view count.
- Backend: /api/enhanced-search/source/youtube_videos endpoint with
search_videos() method on YouTubeClient returning YouTubeSearchResult
- Frontend: Video grid layout with responsive cards, YouTube red tab
color, proper section hiding when switching between metadata and
video tabs
- Global search: Full parity with enhanced search video rendering
- No download functionality yet — display only
New configurable path for storing music videos separately from audio
files, following Plex's global music video folder convention.
- Settings: library.music_videos_path (default: ./MusicVideos)
- UI: Music Videos Dir field on Settings Downloads tab with lock/unlock
- Docker: /app/MusicVideos volume mount in Dockerfile and docker-compose
- Added 'library' to settings save whitelist (was missing — music_paths
also wasn't persisting through main settings save)
- No download functionality yet — path infrastructure only
When a playlist sync has unmatched tracks sent to wishlist, the
completion toast now shows the specific track names instead of just
a count. Uses warning style so it stands out. The unmatched track
list is included in the sync state result so it's available for
both live status polling and notification history.
Addresses #272 — silent sync failures where users couldn't tell
which tracks out of 150+ failed to match their Plex library.
New toggle in Settings > Appearance disables backdrop blur (220
instances), animations (238), transitions (961), and box shadows
(804) across the entire UI via a single body class. Significantly
reduces GPU/CPU usage on low-end devices. Default off — no change
for existing users. Applied from localStorage on load to prevent
flash.
Duplicate finding detail now shows each version as clickable — user
can choose which to keep instead of relying on auto-selection. Added
track_number as tiebreaker in auto-pick (higher track number wins
over 01, catching leftover duplicates from the playlist sync track
number bug). Track number displayed in the detail view for clarity.
New automation action that executes user scripts from a dedicated
scripts/ directory. Available as both a DO action and THEN action.
Scripts are selected from a dropdown populated by /api/scripts.
Security: only scripts in the scripts dir can run, path traversal
blocked, no shell=True, stdout/stderr capped, configurable timeout
(max 300s). Scripts receive SOULSYNC_EVENT, SOULSYNC_AUTOMATION,
and SOULSYNC_SCRIPTS_DIR environment variables.
Includes Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml changes for the scripts
volume mount, and three example scripts (hello_world.sh,
system_info.py, notify_ntfy.sh).
Sidebar media player now shows the SoulSync logo instead of a broken
image icon when no album art is available or when no track is playing.
Default src, onerror fallback, and clear-player paths all use
/static/trans2.png.
After a successful playlist sync, if the source playlist has cover
art (Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, etc.), the image is downloaded and
uploaded as the playlist poster on the media server. Plex uses
uploadPoster(), Jellyfin/Emby uses POST /Items/{id}/Images/Primary.
Navidrome skipped (no playlist image API). Failure is silent — sync
result unchanged. Automation-triggered syncs and playlists without
images are unaffected.
Sync rehydration: after loading Deezer ARL playlists, checks each
for active syncs via /api/sync/status and re-attaches polling with
live card updates. Download rehydration: rehydrateModal now handles
deezer_arl_ playlist IDs, and openDownloadMissingModal routes cache
misses to the correct ARL endpoint. Fix All now prompts for dead
file action.
Album data caching: get_playlist_tracks now checks the metadata
cache before fetching album release dates from the Deezer API.
Cache hits are instant, misses are fetched and stored for future
use across all playlists. Import fixed from core.metadata_cache
instead of web_server to avoid circular dependency.
Dead file fix now prompts with two options: Re-download (existing
behavior — adds to wishlist + deletes DB entry) or Remove from DB
(just deletes the dead track record without re-downloading). Works
for both single and bulk fix. Solves the issue where dismissing
dead files didn't remove the underlying track record, causing them
to reappear on every scan.
What's New: Added Deezer user playlists, Qobuz token auth, streaming
source artist gate, download history provenance, and comprehensive
fixes section covering artist name casing, future album skip, track
number fix, Emby sync, discovery fix fallback, and all new settings.
Help docs: Updated Qobuz auth to mention token option, added Music
Library Paths, Replace Lower Quality, and HiFi Instance Health to
Other Settings section.
New setting in Settings > Library lets users add folder paths where
their music files live. The file resolver checks these paths when
looking for library files, solving Docker path mismatches and multi-
folder libraries. Required for tag writing, streaming, and orphan
detection when the media server reports paths that differ from what
SoulSync can see. Docker users mount their music folder(s) with
read-write access and add the container-side path. Default is empty
— existing users see no change.
New toggle in Settings > Library: "Replace lower quality files on
import". When enabled, if a track already exists in the library at
a lower quality tier (e.g. MP3) and a higher quality version (e.g.
FLAC) is imported from staging, the existing file is replaced.
Comparison uses the existing QUALITY_TIERS system (lossless > opus/
ogg > m4a > mp3). When disabled (default), existing behavior is
unchanged — existing tracks are always kept. Also applies to regular
downloads that land on an existing file.
Discovery fix modal now tries the user's active metadata source
first, then falls back through all available sources (Spotify,
Deezer, iTunes) in sequence. Previously hardcoded Spotify with no
fallback, leaving users without Spotify stuck on "Searching...".
New /api/deezer/search_tracks endpoint exposes the existing
DeezerClient.search_tracks() method for the fix modal. Same
request/response format as Spotify and iTunes endpoints.
Qobuz added reCAPTCHA to their login endpoint, blocking automated
email/password auth for new users. Token login lets users paste
their X-User-Auth-Token from the browser DevTools after logging in
manually. Added to both Connections and Downloads tabs with
instructions. Existing email/password flow completely unchanged.
Backend validates token via user/get API and saves the session
identically to email/password login.
New "Check All Instances" button in Settings > Downloads > HiFi
shows each configured instance with color-coded status: green for
fully working (can download), orange for search-only (downloads
fail), red for offline/SSL error/timeout. Helps users understand
why HiFi downloads aren't working when community instances go down.
ARL field now appears on both Connections tab (under Deezer OAuth)
and Downloads tab. Both fields are populated from the same config
key and synced bidirectionally via input listeners. Editing either
field instantly updates the other.
New "Deezer" tab on sync page shows authenticated user's playlists,
identical to the Spotify tab pattern — same card layout, details
modal with track list, sync button, and download missing tracks
flow. Existing URL import renamed to "Deezer Link" tab (unchanged).
Backend: get_user_playlists() and get_playlist_tracks() on the
download client fetch via public API with ARL session cookies.
Album release dates batch-fetched for $year template variable.
Three new endpoints: arl-status, arl-playlists, arl-playlist/<id>.
Frontend: cards use Spotify-identical HTML structure with live sync
status, progress indicators, and View Progress/Results buttons.
Downloads reuse openDownloadMissingModal with zero modifications.
Track data cached on first open, instant on subsequent clicks.
Library page: new dropdown filter to show artists matched or unmatched
to any metadata source (Spotify, MusicBrainz, Deezer, Discogs, etc).
Select "No Discogs" to find artists needing manual Discogs matching.
Filter applied as WHERE clause on the source ID columns.
Discogs enrichment: added to valid_services whitelist, _enrichment_locks,
and _run_single_enrichment handler. The Enrich button was returning an
error when Discogs was selected from the dropdown.
Settings > Advanced now shows database size, free pages, and auto-
vacuum mode. Two actions: Compact Database (full VACUUM to reclaim
dead space) and Enable Incremental Vacuum (one-time setup for
automatic page reclamation). Both have confirmation dialogs warning
about lock time on large databases. Info refreshes on Advanced tab
switch and after each operation.
SQLite CURRENT_TIMESTAMP stores UTC but the format lacks a timezone
marker. JavaScript parsed it as local time, causing future-dated
timestamps and negative diffs that always fell into 'Just now'.
Normalize by appending 'Z' to mark as UTC before parsing.
Streaming matching: add artist gate rejecting candidates with artist
similarity below 0.4, raise threshold to 0.60, block fallback to
Soulseek filename matcher for Tidal/Qobuz/HiFi/Deezer. Fix single-
char artist containment bug where normalize_string strips non-ASCII
(e.g. "B小町" → "b") causing "b" to match any artist containing
that letter. Fixed in both score_track_match and the Soulseek scorer.
YouTube and Soulseek matching behavior unchanged.
Global search: add registerSearchDownload() calls to _gsClickAlbum
and _gsClickTrack so downloads create bubble snapshots on dashboard
and search page, matching the enhanced search standard.
Global search escaping: add _escAttr() helper to handle newlines in
album/artist names that broke inline onclick string literals.
Entries are now compact cards that expand on click to reveal source
details. Shows expected vs downloaded title/artist with red mismatch
highlighting. Source artist column added to DB. Streaming track IDs
extracted from the id||name filename pattern. File and ID always on
their own line to avoid edge-case misplacement.
Track original source filename, track ID, and AcoustID verification
result for every download. Helps debug wrong-file downloads from
streaming sources like Tidal. Each column migrated independently
for crash safety. Frontend shows source detail line and color-coded
AcoustID badge per entry. Button renamed to "Download History".
Visual overhaul of the API Configuration section: each service frame
is now a collapsible accordion with brand-colored dots, chevron
indicators, and smooth expand/collapse animations. Includes an
Expand All / Collapse All toggle. No functional changes — all element
IDs, save/load logic, and tab switching preserved.
- search_artists() now filters by active media server — no more duplicate
results from Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome showing the same artist 3 times
- Per-artist Sync button re-fetches artist name from media server, catches
renames (e.g., Plex changing "Kendrick Lamar" to "eastside k-boy")
- Global search track click opens download modal directly instead of
navigating to enhanced search page (matches enhanced search behavior)
Reversed the flow: user now sees "Move to Staging" vs "Delete" choice
first, instead of the scary "permanently delete N files" dialog. Staging
gets a friendly confirmation. Delete ≤50 gets standard confirm. Delete
>50 still requires witness-me safety gate. Updated prompt text to
clarify staging is safe and reversible. (#252)
New download_source column on library_history table records which source
(Soulseek, Tidal, Qobuz, HiFi, YouTube, Deezer) each track was downloaded
from. Extracted from context username during post-processing.
Frontend shows source badge alongside quality badge on each download entry.
Source breakdown bar below tabs shows per-source totals with color-coded
chips (e.g., "Soulseek: 847 | Tidal: 203"). Includes DB migration for
existing installs. Existing entries show quality only (source is NULL).
Replaced single "Change" button with per-source rows showing match
status for each provider (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Discogs).
Each row has Fix/Match button that searches that specific source API,
plus clear button to remove individual matches.
- Per-source search uses _search_service (same as enrichment modal)
- Backend: added Discogs to valid providers, empty ID clears match
- Fixed provider validation to accept 'discogs' alongside others
- Clear sets DB column to NULL instead of rejecting empty string
Initial load fetches 200 tracks instead of all. "Load More" button at
bottom shows (200 of 5,000) and loads next batch on click. Backend now
returns total count alongside limited results for both album and singles
categories. Rendering logic unchanged — just operates on smaller sets.
Playlist Pipeline — single automation that runs the full playlist lifecycle:
refresh → discover → sync → download missing. Replaces 4-automation signal
chains. Phase-aware progress display (Phase 1/4, 2/4, etc.), guard function
prevents concurrent runs, fire-and-forget wishlist at end. Re-sync loop
catches newly downloaded tracks on next scheduled run.
- New action type 'playlist_pipeline' with handler, blocks endpoint config,
builder UI (playlist select, process all, skip wishlist checkboxes),
help modal, result display map, and Hub template
- Removed 3 redundant Hub templates (Release Radar, Discovery Weekly,
Playlist Auto-Sync) — all replaced by the pipeline
- Fixed sync completion polling (status is 'finished' not 'complete')
- Fixed refresh handler progress hijack (null out _automation_id)
- Fixed matched_tracks field access from sync_states result
Also in this commit:
- Wishlist badges on enhanced search and global search tracks (amber)
- Discogs added to manual enrichment modal search + artist/album dropdowns
- Profile PIN forgot recovery on profile selection dialog
Watchlist map nodes used w.get('key', '') which returns None when the
DB column is NULL (key exists with None value). None serialized to JSON
null, which is falsy in JS, causing 'No source ID' throw for every
artist click.
- Changed to `w.get('key') or ''` for all ID fields (coerces None→'')
- Added discogs_id to watchlist nodes (was missing entirely)
- Removed hard throw when no source ID — falls back to name-based lookup
- Added console.error logging for future diagnosis
cover.jpg was always written from Spotify/iTunes URL (640x640) when the
first track in an album reached _download_cover_art before MusicBrainz
lookup completed. Later tracks with MBID skipped because file existed.
Fix: when cover.jpg exists but is small (<200KB) and we now have a CAA
MBID, attempt to upgrade it with the high-res CAA version. If CAA fetch
fails, keep existing cover — no pointless overwrites.
Also adds Forgot PIN recovery to the profile selection PIN dialog,
reusing the same credential verification flow as the launch lock screen.
Backend reset endpoint now accepts profile_id parameter.
