- Each of the 6 download clients initializes independently via
_safe_init() — one failing client no longer kills the orchestrator
- All methods guarded against None clients with appropriate fallbacks
- Init failures logged at startup and tracked in _init_failures list
- Copy Debug Info shows "Download Client Failures" section when any
client failed to initialize, or "ALL" if orchestrator itself is dead
The dashboard status poll and hybrid connection check were pinging
slskd every 2 minutes regardless of download source, flooding logs
with connection errors when slskd wasn't running. Now only checks
slskd when the download mode is 'soulseek' or when 'soulseek' is
in the hybrid order. Hybrid mode also only checks sources in the
configured priority order instead of all six.
Fresh installs now default to hybrid download mode (HiFi → YouTube →
Soulseek) instead of Soulseek-only, and Deezer as the metadata
fallback source instead of iTunes. Existing users with saved settings
are unaffected — defaults only apply when config keys don't exist.
- Add debouncedAutoSaveSettings() to moveHybridSource and toggleHybridSource
- Skip unconfigured sources at search time with is_configured() check
- Add get_source_status() to orchestrator, include in settings API response
- Auto-disable unconfigured sources in UI on settings load
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
New download mode alongside Soulseek, YouTube, Tidal, and Qobuz. Uses
community-run REST API instances (no auth required) that serve Tidal CDN
FLAC streams. Features quality fallback chain (hires→lossless→high→low),
automatic instance rotation on failure, and full hybrid mode support.
Also fixes 6 missing streaming source checks for HiFi and Qobuz in the
frontend that were blocking playback with "format not supported" errors.
Adds Tidal as a third download source alongside Soulseek and YouTube. Uses the tidalapi library with device-flow authentication to search and download tracks in configurable quality (Low/High/Lossless/HiRes) with automatic fallback. Integrates into the download orchestrator for all modes (Tidal Only, Hybrid with fallback chain), the transfer monitor, post-processing pipeline, and file finder. Frontend includes download settings with quality selector, device auth flow, and dynamic sidebar/dashboard labels that reflect the active download source. No breaking changes for existing users.
Added a call to self.soulseek._setup_client() in DownloadOrchestrator to ensure the Soulseek client configuration is reloaded when the orchestrator is initialized. This helps keep the client settings in sync with the latest configuration.
Introduces an async method to search for a query and automatically download the best result based on quality preferences and source priority. The method handles empty results, filters by quality, and logs the download process.
Implemented clear_all_completed_downloads in YouTubeClient to remove completed, cancelled, errored, and aborted downloads from memory. Updated DownloadOrchestrator to call this method, ensuring both Soulseek and YouTube completed downloads are cleared.
Introduces a DownloadOrchestrator class to route downloads between Soulseek and YouTube based on user-configurable modes (Soulseek only, YouTube only, Hybrid with fallback). Updates web server and UI to support new download source settings, including hybrid mode options and YouTube confidence threshold. Refactors YouTube client for thread-safe download management and bot detection bypass. Ensures quality filtering is skipped for YouTube results and improves file matching and post-processing logic for YouTube downloads.
