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.
Switch similar-artist backfill to the shared provider-priority flow instead of assuming iTunes as the fallback.
Reuse the generic metadata search helpers, keep a compatibility alias for the old helper name, and update the scanner tests to cover the new path.
Add a regression test that verifies backfill walks each available fallback provider and persists the resolved IDs per source.
Shift similar-artist lookup to the shared metadata provider priority flow.
Use generic provider clients for search and metadata extraction instead of
branching on Spotify/iTunes-specific paths.
Add a regression test that verifies MusicMap matching queries the provider
priority list and preserves canonical metadata from the best match.
Make discovery pool population and curated playlists follow the configured metadata source order. Keep Spotify strict where fallback would corrupt source-specific IDs, and trim fan-out with smaller similar-artist samples and page caps. Leave the remaining incremental path for follow-up.
Reduce request volume in the discovery helpers while keeping the source-priority model intact.
- make cache_discovery_recent_albums source-priority aware
- cap Spotify artist-album pagination in the discovery and incremental paths
- reduce the similar-artist sample size for the cache-refresh helper
- keep Spotify strict where fallback would contaminate source-specific IDs
- add regression coverage for source order, strict Spotify lookups, and pagination caps
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.
The artists table uses 'deezer_id' but the enhanced library artist
lookup was querying 'deezer_artist_id' (the watchlist_artists column
name). Fixed to use the correct column name.
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.
Replaced track-count-only release selection with deterministic scoring
across 6 factors: track count match (40pts), release status (10pts),
country preference with US/worldwide bias (10pts), format preference
favoring Digital/CD over Vinyl/Cassette (10pts), barcode presence (3pts),
and date completeness (2pts). Same inputs always produce the same release.
Also fixed critical bug: _embed_source_ids was missing the context
parameter, silently skipping ALL source ID tag embedding since the
MusicBrainz consistency commit. Now passes context from the caller.
The MusicBrainz consistency change referenced 'context' inside
_embed_source_ids(), but that variable was never passed to the function.
Every download since that commit silently skipped ALL source ID tags
(Spotify, MusicBrainz, Deezer, AudioDB, Tidal, Qobuz, Last.fm, Genius)
with the error 'name context is not defined' caught as non-fatal.
Fix: pass context from _enhance_file_metadata to _embed_source_ids,
with None default for backward compatibility.
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.
Make discovery pool population respect provider priority while keeping Spotify strict, and reduce unnecessary request volume in the hot discovery paths.
- keep discovery fan-out source-priority aware
- preserve cache use where freshness is not required
- cap Spotify artist-album pagination in discovery and cache refresh paths
- keep incremental release checks to a single page, since they only need the newest releases
- add regression coverage for provider order, strict Spotify handling, and pagination caps
Rewrote the AcoustID scanner job to scan all library tracks (via DB file
paths resolved to disk) instead of only the Transfer folder. Checkpoints
by track ID for robust resume across restarts. Defaults changed to
enabled, 24h interval, batch size 200.
Added _fix_acoustid_mismatch handler with three actions:
- retag: update DB title/artist to match actual audio content
- redownload: add expected track to wishlist and delete wrong file
- delete: remove wrong file and DB record
This catches cases like a file tagged as "Dinosaur Bones" that is
actually "Helicopters" — the scanner fingerprints the audio, detects
the mismatch, and the user can fix it from Library Maintenance findings.
Soulseek source files often carry the uploader's MusicBrainz IDs from
different releases. When post-processing skipped tag clearing (missing
spotify_album context in wishlist batches, or enhancement exceptions),
these conflicting IDs persisted and caused Navidrome to split one album
into multiple entries.
Added _wipe_source_tags() — a lightweight emergency tag wipe that clears
all tags without writing new ones. Called in every failure/skip path:
stream processor exception, playlist mode exception, verification worker
missing context, and verification worker exception. Idempotent and
wrapped in try/except so it never interferes with the existing flow.
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.
Resolve Spotify artist matching through the exact Spotify client only, so watchlist ID backfill cannot drift to fallback-provider results. Remove the remaining preemptive provider availability check from the backfill loop.
Allow cached Spotify search results to return even when Spotify is rate-limited or temporarily unavailable, and remove redundant rate-limit gating after auth checks.
Drop the old active-provider artist lookup helpers from watchlist_scanner now that the web scan flow resolves sources through the shared metadata priority.
Keep the Spotify-specific feature toggles in place for discovery and sync paths that still use them.
Move the web watchlist scan core onto the shared metadata source priority so primary provider settings are respected during artist, album, and image resolution.
Add coverage for primary-source-first discography lookup and fallback to later providers when the primary source has no albums.
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.
Keep the weekly Last.fm radio generation step in the web watchlist scan post-processing chain so the higher-level scan behavior stays intact after moving the scan loop into the shared scanner core.
Bring placeholder tracklist skipping back into the shared watchlist scan path, and centralize the DB-only artist image backfill helper so both web scan entrypoints reuse the same logic.
Drop the legacy watchlist scan entrypoints that are no longer used by the web scan flow, and keep the live refresh path pointed at the shared scanner helper.
Move the shared watchlist scan loop into core/watchlist_scanner.py so web_server.py only handles triggers, locks, progress, and post-scan orchestration.
Manual and scheduled watchlist scans now share the same scanner-side core, while the web entrypoints keep profile selection and automation progress updates.
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.
