Plug the previously-built SoundcloudClient (PR #478, the build-and-verify
phase) into every place a download source needs to appear. Follows the
same wiring contract as Tidal/Qobuz/HiFi/Deezer/Lidarr — orchestrator
routing, hybrid-mode picker, search dispatch, queue/cancel/clear,
provenance + library history, sidebar source label, settings UI all
work plug-and-play.
Backend wiring:
- `core/download_orchestrator.py` — import SoundcloudClient, _safe_init
it at startup, add to _client() lookup, get_source_status(),
check_connection's sources_to_check default, search source_names map,
search_and_download_best _streaming_sources tuple, download
source_map + source_names, and every iteration loop in
reload_settings download-path-update / get_all_downloads /
get_download_status / cancel_download (route + iterate) /
clear_all_completed_downloads / cancel_all_downloads.
- `core/downloads/monitor.py` — added SoundCloud to the per-client
loop that fetches active downloads outside the orchestrator (uses
getattr fallback for older soulseek_client snapshots).
- `core/downloads/task_worker.py` — added SoundCloud (and Lidarr,
which was missing too — bonus fix) to source_clients dict for hybrid
fallback dispatch.
- `core/downloads/validation.py` — added 'soundcloud' to
_streaming_sources so SoundCloud results go through the matching
engine validation path instead of the Soulseek quality-filter path.
- `core/imports/side_effects.py` — three call sites: source_map for
download_source label written to library_history, streaming-source
guard for the `||`-encoded stream_id parsing, and source_service
map for provenance recording. All three now include 'soundcloud'.
- `web_server.py` — five streaming-source detection tuples updated.
New `/api/soundcloud/status` endpoint returns
{available, configured, reachable} mirroring the Deezer/HiFi
status-endpoint pattern; reachability runs a real cheap yt-dlp
search so the settings Test Connection button gives a meaningful
pass/fail signal.
- `config/settings.py` — added empty `soundcloud_download` defaults
block so future tier-2 OAuth (SoundCloud Go+ session) doesn't have
to migrate existing configs.
Frontend:
- `webui/index.html` — new `<option value="soundcloud">` in the
download-source-mode dropdown, SoundCloud added to both hidden
legacy hybrid-source selects, new settings container with info
text + Test Connection button.
- `webui/static/settings.js` — HYBRID_SOURCES entry (with the
SoundCloud cloud SVG icon), _hybridSourceEnabled default,
updateDownloadSourceUI container display, allSources for legacy
hybrid picker, testSoundcloudConnection function (hits the new
status endpoint, color-codes the result), saveSettings
soundcloud_download empty block.
- `webui/static/shared-helpers.js` — sidebar source-name map
includes SoundCloud + Lidarr (Lidarr was also missing, bonus fix).
- `webui/static/helper.js` — WHATS_NEW entry under '2.4.2' dev cycle
describing the user-visible change in the chill terse voice.
Tests:
- `tests/test_download_orchestrator_soundcloud.py` — 14 integration
tests verifying the wiring: client constructed at startup, _client
lookup resolves 'soundcloud', get_source_status includes it,
download dispatcher routes username='soundcloud' to the SoundCloud
client (and unknown usernames still fall back to Soulseek), hybrid
search iterates SoundCloud when in order and skips it cleanly when
unconfigured, get_all_downloads / get_download_status / cancel /
clear walk SoundCloud, soundcloud-only mode dispatches only to
SoundCloud, _streaming_sources tuple in validation includes
'soundcloud'.
- `tests/downloads/test_download_orchestrator.py` — added
`soundcloud` to the test fixture's _build_orchestrator helper so
the new orchestrator attribute doesn't AttributeError in pre-
existing tests that bypass __init__.
Verified:
- Full suite green (1728 passed, 2 deselected for soundcloud_live)
- Ruff clean
- Live SoundCloud-only mode search returns 25 SoundCloud tracks for
"kendrick lamar luther" in <2s, returning properly-shaped
TrackResult objects with username='soundcloud' and dispatch-key
filename ready for the download path.
Out of scope (intentional deferrals):
- SoundCloud Go+ OAuth tier (256 kbps AAC) — anonymous-only for now.
Adding auth later is a settings-page extension, no orchestrator
changes needed.
- Album/playlist support — SoundCloud has playlists but they don't
map to the album model the rest of SoulSync expects. Singles only.
