Two changes to the Soulseek quality filter:
1. Sort candidates by effective bitrate first, peer quality second.
Previously a 16-bit FLAC from a fast peer could beat a 24-bit FLAC
from a slower peer. Now highest audio quality always wins within the
same format tier, with peer speed as tiebreaker.
2. Enforce the FLAC bit depth UI preference (Any/16-bit/24-bit) that
was previously cosmetic-only. Uses effective bitrate threshold of
1450 kbps to distinguish 16-bit (<1411 kbps theoretical) from 24-bit
(>2116 kbps theoretical). Respects the bit_depth_fallback toggle —
when enabled, gracefully accepts any FLAC if preferred depth is
unavailable. When disabled, strictly rejects non-matching depth.
Default bit_depth="any" — zero behavior change for existing users.
Users who intentionally don't use Soulseek were getting spammed with
ERROR-level logs every second. These are expected when Soulseek isn't
configured as a source and don't need user attention.
New dropdown in Soulseek settings lets users filter out slow peers at
search time (Any/1/2/3/4/5/10 Mbps). Passes minimumPeerUploadSpeed
to slskd API in bytes/sec.
Also fixes quality scoring tiers which were using wrong units — old
thresholds (5000, 1000, 500) treated bytes/sec values as kbps,
making speed scoring effectively meaningless. Now uses correct
bytes/sec thresholds based on real peer data.
- Single-worker mode for album batches (sequential downloads enable clean source reuse)
- Browse API integration to list files in a source's directory
- Failed source tracking per-batch to avoid retrying broken sources
- Graduated quality scoring for upload speed, queue length, and free slots
- Track number fallback fix (uses Spotify track number instead of hardcoded 1)
- Duplicate completion guard to prevent double-decrement of active worker count
- Dedicated logging for source reuse and post-processing diagnostics
Adjusts matching weights for YouTube sources to rely more on title and duration, adds a shutdown callback to the YouTube client to prevent new downloads during shutdown, and enhances post-processing to reliably resolve actual YouTube file paths. Improves error handling for file removal, ensures no new batch downloads start during shutdown, and refines download monitoring to trigger post-processing on completed YouTube downloads. Also increases YouTube download retries and improves logging for debugging.
Updated the duration field in TrackResult to store duration in milliseconds instead of seconds, matching Spotify's expected format. This ensures consistency when integrating with services that use millisecond-based durations.
Introduces 'search_timeout' and 'search_timeout_buffer' options to Soulseek settings in the config, backend, and web UI. The backend now uses these values to control search duration and polling, allowing users to fine-tune how long searches run and how long to wait for late results.
Added helper functions to resolve Windows paths for Docker containers and to extract filenames in a cross-platform manner. Updated usage throughout web_server.py and soulseek_client.py to ensure correct path mapping and filename handling. Modified docker-compose.yml to use named volumes and mount the E: drive for better Docker compatibility.
Updated Soulseek client, web server, and docker-compose.yml to better handle service URLs when running inside Docker containers. Localhost URLs are now resolved to host.docker.internal, and Docker-specific volume mounts and extra_hosts are configured for improved interoperability between container and host services.
Introduces a global activity feed system with API endpoints for recent activities and toasts, and integrates activity tracking for key backend events (downloads, syncs, database updates, etc.). Updates the dashboard frontend to periodically fetch and display activity feed items and show toasts for recent actions. Improves error logging and reduces noise for expected 404s in Soulseek client. Adds related CSS for activity feed separators.
