New "Download Discography" button in artist hero section opens a modal
showing the full catalog — albums, EPs, and singles — with filter
toggles, select/deselect all, and per-album owned/missing indicators.
Modal features:
- Glassmorphic design with artist image blurred background header
- Filter pills for Albums/EPs/Singles with instant grid filtering
- Album cards with cover art, year, track count, and checkbox
- Owned albums dimmed and unchecked by default, missing pre-selected
- Live NDJSON streaming: each album updates in real-time as processed
- "Process Wishlist Now" button after completion
- Albums sorted by track count (Deluxe first) to prevent duplicate
folder contexts from standard/deluxe edition ordering
Backend: NDJSON streaming endpoint POST /api/artist/<id>/download-discography
- Fetches tracks per album via active metadata client
- Adds to wishlist with dedup (no slow fuzzy matching)
- Streams one JSON line per album as it completes
- Works on both Artists search page and Library artist detail page
New "Sync" button in the enhanced view header validates an artist's
library entries against files on disk. Removes stale tracks (missing
files), cleans empty albums, and updates track counts.
- POST /api/library/artist/<id>/sync endpoint
- Checks each track's file_path via _resolve_library_file_path
- Empty album cleanup checks ALL tracks (not just this artist's)
to avoid deleting albums shared with other artists
- Toast shows results: stale removed, albums cleaned, or "All files
verified" if everything checks out
- Auto-refreshes enhanced view when changes are made
Security:
- Toggle in Settings → Advanced: "Require PIN to access SoulSync"
- Full-screen lock overlay on every page load when enabled
- PIN validated server-side against admin profile (bcrypt hash)
- Inline PIN creation if admin has no PIN set, change PIN button if set
- One-time session flag: verify-launch-pin sets it, /profiles/current
consumes it — every page load re-requires PIN
Recovery:
- "Forgot PIN?" on lock screen switches to credential verification
- User pastes any configured API key/token/secret (Spotify, Tidal,
Plex, Jellyfin, Navidrome, ListenBrainz, AcoustID, Last.fm, Genius)
- Server checks against all 9 stored values — any match clears PIN
and disables lock, with toast guiding to Settings to set a new one
Profile switch integration:
- Entering PIN during profile switch also sets launch_pin_verified
flag, preventing double-PIN prompt on the subsequent page reload
Updated version modal and helper What's New with this feature.
Subtle accent border glow breathes every 3s on the ? button until
the user opens the menu for the first time, then stops permanently
via localStorage. Helps new users notice the help system exists.
Helper system phases 2-7:
- Setup Progress: onboarding checklist with progress ring, auto-detection
via /status, /api/settings, /api/library, /api/watchlist, /api/automations
- Quick Actions: accent pill buttons in popovers (service cards get
"Open Settings" and "View Docs" actions)
- Keyboard Shortcuts: full-screen overlay with key cap styling, grouped
by scope (Global, Player, Helper, Forms)
- Search: fuzzy search across 200+ help entries, 11 tours, and shortcuts
with cross-page navigation via _guessPageFromSelector()
- What's New: version-tagged highlights with "Show me" navigation,
red badge on ? button for unseen versions, older version cycling
- Troubleshoot: scans dashboard service cards for disconnected/error
states, shows fix steps with action buttons, "All Clear" when healthy
- Contextual menu: page-aware tour suggestion at top of menu
- Ctrl+K / Cmd+K opens helper search globally
- First-launch welcome tooltip with pulsing ? button
- Redesigned floating button (48px, accent gradient, glass effect)
- Redesigned menu (unified card panel, accent left-stripe on contextual)
Enrichment worker fixes:
- AcoustID: individual recording matches downgraded INFO→DEBUG to reduce
log noise (14 lines for one track → 1 summary line)
- Name normalization: strip " - Suffix" dash format (Spotify) same as
"(Suffix)" parens format across all 8 workers. Fixes false mismatch
on tracks like "Electric Eyes (Studio Brussels Remix)" vs
"Electric Eyes - Studio Brussels Remix" (was 0.54, now matches)
The artist name in album download modals is now a clickable link
that navigates to the Artists page with that artist's discography.
Uses the correct source-specific artist ID from the album data.
Works on enhanced search, artists page, and discover page modals.
Excluded from playlist, wishlist, and default contexts where the
subtitle isn't an artist name.
Clicking the button closes the watchlist modal and navigates to the
Artists page with the artist's discography loaded. Uses the correct
source ID based on the active metadata source (Spotify/Deezer/iTunes).
Search results now show "In Library" badges on albums and tracks
that already exist in the user's library. Badges appear with a
staggered fade-in animation after results render (non-blocking).
- Backend: /api/enhanced-search/library-check endpoint builds
owned album/track sets in 2 queries, O(1) lookups per result
- Frontend: async call after render, 30ms stagger per badge
- Tracks in library get play button rewired for direct playback
from media server instead of searching download sources
- Fixed enhanced search album card text not visible (info div
now absolute-positioned with gradient overlay)
- Download manager panel hidden by default for more search space
Watchlist cards: removed spring-bounce transitions, staggered
animations, and multi-layer hover shadows. Added CSS containment
and will-change for smoother scrolling.
Recent releases: backfill missing album cover art on page load
via metadata source lookup. Persists found covers to database.
New feature: click the floating ? button (bottom-right corner) to
enter help mode. Click any UI element to see a popover explaining
what it is and how to use it. Covers Dashboard + Sidebar + Watchlist.
- Floating button always visible above modals (z-index 999999)
- Click interception via capture phase prevents accidental actions
- Popover with smart positioning (right/left/below fallback)
- Arrow pointing to target element with accent highlight pulse
- "View full documentation" links navigate to the correct docs section
- Escape key dismisses popover or exits help mode
- Works inside modals (watchlist, artist config, global settings)
- 45+ contextual help entries covering sidebar nav, service cards,
stat cards, all 9 tool cards, watchlist modal buttons, artist
config options, content filters, and activity feed
- Separate helper.js file for maintainability
Artists page hero section:
- Large portrait artist photo (400x480px, rounded rectangle)
- Blurred saturated background from artist image
- 2.6em bold name with text shadow
- Real service logo badges (Spotify, MusicBrainz, Deezer, iTunes,
Last.fm, Genius, Tidal, Qobuz) — matching library page
- Genre pills merged from metadata cache + Last.fm tags
- Last.fm bio with read more/show less toggle
- Last.fm listener count + playcount stats (large bold numbers)
- Backend enriches discography response with artist_info from
metadata cache + library (all service IDs, Last.fm data, genres)
Album/Single/EP cards:
- Full-bleed cover art filling entire card with gradient overlay
- Album name + year overlaid at bottom over dark gradient
- Image zoom on hover, accent glow for dynamic-glow cards
- Responsive grid (220px desktop, 170px tablet, 140px mobile)
Similar artist cards:
- Full-bleed image cards matching library artist card style
- Gradient overlay with name at bottom, aspect-ratio 0.8
- Grid-controlled sizing via existing responsive breakpoints
Genre explorer (multi-source):
- Queries all allowed sources (iTunes+Deezer always, Spotify when
authed) via _get_genre_allowed_sources() helper
- Deezer genre support: genre_id mapping from search results,
one-time backfill from stored raw_json, album-to-artist propagation
- Genre deep dive deduplicates artists across sources
- Source dots on artists/tracks in deep dive modal
- Artist clicks route through source-specific client
- Album endpoint falls back across sources when IDs don't match
- Genre explorer cached 24hr in-memory, positioned at top of
Discover page below hero slider
All changes mobile responsive with proper breakpoints.
Genre explorer and deep dive modal now combine data from all available
metadata sources (iTunes + Deezer always, Spotify when authenticated).
Artists are deduplicated by name across sources, preferring entries
with images. Source dots (green/red/purple) indicate data origin.
Deezer genre support:
- Extract genre_id from Deezer album search responses via ID-to-name
mapping table (26 Deezer genre categories)
- Extract full genre names from Deezer get_album responses
- One-time backfill updates existing cached albums from stored raw_json
- Propagate album genres to Deezer artist entities
Cross-source album routing:
- /api/discover/album endpoint uses source-specific client (iTunes or
Deezer) based on the item's source, not just the active fallback
- Spotify path falls back to active fallback when album not found
- Track clicks use album_id directly instead of name-based resolution
- resolve-cache-album adds partial match and live search fallback
Other fixes:
- Genre explorer positioned at top of Discover page (below hero)
- Genre explorer results cached 24hr in-memory for fast reload
- Related genres computed from all albums by matched artists
- Artist clicks open Artists page with discography (not library detail)
- Discovery pool genre queries restored to source-filtered (Browse by
Genre tabs stay source-isolated as designed)
Discovery pool lists (matched and failed) now have a search input
that filters tracks client-side by name, artist, or playlist.
Matched tracks get a "Rematch" button that opens the fix modal in
cache-only mode — deletes the old cache entry and saves the new
match directly to the discovery cache via /api/discovery-pool/rematch.
This works regardless of whether a mirrored playlist track exists.
Failed tracks retain the existing "Fix Match" flow unchanged.
Modal now uses a fixed 600px height from open — results scroll within
a dedicated area instead of growing the modal and pushing inputs up.
This eliminates the layout shift that caused accidental result clicks.
Other fixes:
- Input fields now have labels (Track, Artist)
- Overlay dismiss uses mousedown with stopPropagation to prevent
accidental close when clicking near inputs
- Reduced results from 50 to 20 for faster response
- Clean minimal design matching app style
- Mobile: full-screen modal, stacked inputs with 44px touch targets
- Search bar: stripped heavy purple chrome, minimal dark input style
- Dropdown: inline flow instead of overlay, hides page header when active
- Section labels: flat uppercase text, no bordered glass boxes
- Artist cards: full-bleed photo with gradient overlay and name at bottom
(matches library page style), flexbox wrap layout with fixed dimensions
- Album cards: discover-style dark cards in horizontal scroll on desktop,
wrap to 2-per-row on mobile
- Track rows: clean flat list, subtle hover, smaller cover art
- Source tabs: compact pills with per-source accent colors
- Renamed grid classes (enh-artists-grid, enh-albums-grid, enh-tracks-list)
to avoid collision with generic .artists-grid rule
- Mobile: downloads-main-panel min-width:0 fix for 1190px overflow,
cards use calc(50% - 8px) for 2-per-row fill, touch-friendly targets
- Tidal and Qobuz SVG logos inverted on artist detail hero badges
- New Artist Radio button: clears queue, plays random artist track, enables radio
- Play buttons on Last.fm top tracks (hover reveal, resolves from library)
- Fixed inline JS escaping with data attribute delegation
- Stats page: database storage donut chart with per-table breakdown and total size
- Discover page: 5 new sections mined from metadata cache (zero API calls):
Undiscovered Albums, New In Your Genres, From Your Labels, Deep Cuts, Genre Explorer
- Genre Deep Dive modal: artists (clickable → artist page), popular tracks,
albums with download flow, related genre pills, in-library badges
- All cache queries filtered by active metadata source (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer)
- Stale cache entries (404) gracefully fall back to name+artist resolution
- Album cards show "In Library" badge, artist avatars scaled by prominence
- Stats page: full mobile layout with compact cards, charts, ranked lists
- Artist hero: stacked layout, compact image/name/badges, top tracks below
- Enhanced library: meta header/expanded header stack vertically, track table
collapses action columns into bottom sheet popover on mobile
- Automations: builder sidebar collapses, inputs go full width
- Hydrabase/Issues/Help: responsive stacking and compact layouts
- Fix grid blowout: add min-width:0 to stats grid children and overflow:hidden
Integrates play history data into the discovery algorithm:
- Listening profile: _get_listening_profile() builds user's top artists,
genres, play counts, and listening velocity from the last 30 days
- Artist genre cache: pre-built from local DB for O(1) genre lookups
- Release Radar: +10 genre affinity, +15 artist familiarity, -10 overplay
penalty. Weights rebalanced to 45% recency + 25% popularity + bonuses
- Discovery Weekly: serendipity scoring within tiers — boosts unheard
artists in preferred genres, penalizes overplayed artists
- Recent Albums: adaptive time window (21-60 days) based on listening
velocity — heavy listeners get fresher content, casual listeners more
- New "Because You Listen To" sections: personalized carousels based on
user's top 3 played artists via similar artists + genre fallback
- New endpoint: /api/discover/because-you-listen-to with artist images
- Frontend: BYLT sections with artist photo headers on discover page
- All changes gracefully fall back when no listening data exists
Full stats dashboard that polls Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome for play
history and presents it with Chart.js visualizations:
Backend:
- ListeningStatsWorker polls active server every 30 min
- listening_history DB table with dedup, play_count/last_played on tracks
- get_play_history() and get_track_play_counts() for all 3 servers
- Pre-computed cache for all time ranges (7d/30d/12m/all) rebuilt each sync
- Single cached endpoint serves all stats data instantly
- Stats query methods: top artists/albums/tracks, timeline, genres, health
Frontend:
- New Stats nav page with glassmorphic container matching dashboard style
- Overview cards (plays, time, artists, albums, tracks) with accent hover
- Listening timeline bar chart (Chart.js)
- Genre breakdown doughnut chart with legend
- Top artists visual bubbles with profile pictures + ranked list
- Top albums and tracks ranked lists with album art
- Library health: format breakdown bar, unplayed count, enrichment coverage
- Recently played timeline with relative timestamps
- Time range pills with instant switching via cache
- Sync Now button with spinner, last synced timestamp
- Clickable artist names navigate to library artist detail
- Last.fm global listeners shown alongside personal play counts
- SoulID badges on matched artists
- Empty state when no data synced yet
- Mobile responsive layout
DB migrations: listening_history table, play_count/last_played columns,
all with idempotent CREATE IF NOT EXISTS / PRAGMA checks.
- Add get_artist_top_tracks to Last.fm client (up to 100 tracks)
- Include lastfm_listeners, lastfm_playcount, lastfm_tags, lastfm_bio,
and soul_id in artist detail API response
- New endpoint: /api/artist/<id>/lastfm-top-tracks for lazy loading
- Hero layout: image (160px) | center (name, badges, genres, bio,
listener/play stats, progress bars) | right card (scrollable top
100 tracks from Last.fm)
- Badges 36px with hover lift, bio in subtle card with Read More
toggle, Last.fm tags merged with existing genres
- Numbers formatted: 1234567 → 1.2M
- Graceful degradation: sections hidden when Last.fm data unavailable
SoulID worker generates deterministic soul IDs for all library entities:
- Artists: hash(name + debut_year) — searches iTunes + Deezer APIs,
verifies correct artist by matching discography against local DB
albums via MusicMatchingEngine, pools years from both sources and
picks the earliest. Falls back to hash(name) if no match found.
- Albums: hash(artist + album)
- Tracks: song ID hash(artist + track) + album ID hash(artist + album + track)
Dashboard button with trans2.png logo, rainbow spinner, hover tooltip.
Worker orb with rainbow effect. SoulSync badge on library artist cards.
DB migration adds soul_id columns with indexes to artists/albums/tracks.
Migration version flag auto-resets artist soul IDs when algorithm changes.
Tabs, cards, form rows, buttons, toggles, and inputs all get
tactile hover/focus/active states with lifts, glows, and accent
highlights to clarify which section the user is editing.
Non-admin: 3-tab layout (Music Services | Server | Scrobbling).
Admin: just ListenBrainz, no tabs (unchanged).
Server tab auto-detects active server (Plex/Jellyfin) and shows
library name dropdowns instead of raw ID inputs. Modal has max-height
with scroll, tab bar with accent underline indicator.
Replace fixed primary/secondary hybrid dropdowns with an ordered list
of all 5 download sources. Users enable/disable each source and reorder
with up/down arrows to set download priority. Sources are tried in
order until one returns results.
- New hybrid_order config field (backward compat with legacy primary/secondary)
- Download orchestrator loops ordered list with per-source error handling
- Sortable source list UI with icons, toggle switches, priority numbers
- Source-specific settings shown for all enabled hybrid sources
- Seamless migration from legacy 2-source to N-source format
Replace 3-column glassmorphic card wall with centered single-column
tabbed interface. Horizontal pill tab bar (Connections, Downloads,
Library, Appearance, Advanced) with category switching.
- Kill glassmorphic cards, accent gradient bars, and box shadows
- Clean section headers with subtle dividers
- Horizontal setting rows (label left, control right)
- Custom styled select dropdowns with SVG arrow
- Quality Profile moved into Downloads tab (conditionally visible)
- Help text wraps to new line below controls
- Path inputs and template inputs properly styled
- Mobile responsive (rows stack, tab bar scrolls)
- Zero functional changes — all element IDs and JS logic preserved
Search results now show switchable tabs for alternate metadata sources.
Primary source renders immediately, alternate sources load in parallel
and tabs appear progressively as each completes.
- New /api/enhanced-search/source/<name> endpoint for per-source queries
- Source-aware routing via ?source= param on discography, album tracks,
album detail, and artist image endpoints (prevents numeric ID
misrouting between iTunes and Deezer)
- Source override stored on artistsPageState for consistent navigation
- Tabs styled with source brand colors, show result counts
- All additive — users who ignore tabs see zero behavioral change
Replace category-based tag settings (10 toggles) with per-tag controls
grouped by source service in an accordion UI. Each of the 11 service
groups (Spotify, iTunes, MusicBrainz, Deezer, AudioDB, Tidal, Qobuz,
Last.fm, Genius, General) has a master toggle that disables all child
tags, with individual toggles for fine-grained control. ISRC and
copyright fallback chains are now per-source toggleable. Genre merge
contributions from each source are independently controllable. All
tags default to enabled for backward compatibility.
Post-processing now writes all 18 MusicBrainz tags that Picard writes:
Release Group ID, Album Artist ID, Release Track ID, Release Type,
Status, Country, Original Date, Media, Barcode, Catalog #, ASIN,
Script, Total Discs (plus the 5 already supported). One cached API
call per album via get_release with recordings include.
New "Tags to Embed" settings section with 10 category toggles (all
enabled by default): MusicBrainz IDs, Release Info, Source IDs, ISRC,
BPM, Mood & Style, Copyright & Label, Genre Merging, URLs, Quality.
Each shows inline description of what it includes.
- Fix enrichment progress never updating: remove `continue` that skipped
progress_callback for successful tracks in enrich_chart_tracks
- Split chart/extract into two-step flow: extract raw tracks, then enrich
via polling endpoint with live progress overlay updates
- Move Beatport enrichment cache to persistent metadata cache system
- Fix metadata cache detail modal for Beatport (URL entity_ids with slashes)
- Add per-source Clear dropdown (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer/Beatport) to cache browser
- Remove debug logging from enrichment progress tracking
- "Sync to Server" button appears for Beatport chart/playlist downloads
- Starts media server sync via /api/sync/start with live progress bar
- Progress area renders below all modal buttons with matched/failed counts
- Cancel button to abort sync mid-way, auto-cleanup on completion
- New sync_history DB table tracks last 100 syncs with full cached context
- Records history for all sync types: Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, YouTube,
Beatport, ListenBrainz, Mirrored playlists, and Download Missing flows
- Sync History button on sync page with modal showing entries, source
filter tabs, stats badges, and pagination
- Re-sync button: server syncs expand card inline with live progress bar,
matched/failed counts, and cancel button; download syncs open download modal
- Re-syncs update the original entry (moves to top) instead of creating duplicates
- Delete button (x) on each entry with smooth remove animation
- Fix mirrored playlist source detection (youtube_mirrored_ matched youtube_)
- Fix broken server import thumbnails with URL validation
Pin source info and search inputs at top of modal with independent
results scrolling, increase auto-search delay to 500ms, and add
confirmation dialog before committing a track match.
- Bump confirm dialog z-index to 200000 (both #confirm-modal-overlay and
.confirmation-modal-overlay) so they always appear above all other modals
- Normalize track data in _run_sync_task before storing in original_tracks_map:
album as dict {'name': ...} and artists as [{'name': ...}] — fixes all
source converters (Deezer, YouTube, Tidal, Spotify Public, ListenBrainz,
Beatport) whose fallback paths stored plain strings, causing the wishlist
UI to show "Unknown Album" for every synced track
- Switch user automations to 2-column grid layout (matches system automations)
- Add duplicate button on non-system cards with POST /api/automations/<id>/duplicate
- Add search/filter bar (text search + trigger/action dropdowns) shown at 6+ automations
- Add Inspiration section with 8 starter templates that pre-fill the builder
- Add folder-style automation grouping with group_name DB column, dropdown
popover for assignment, collapsible group sections, and builder group input
