Bring Auto-Sync automation and run-history cards closer to the Automations page pattern with status dots, flow chips, compact metadata, and denser run preview details.
Normalize sparse playlist pipeline history rows before rendering and add a visible fallback for empty entries so the Run History tab cannot collapse into unreadable divider lines.
Render playlist pipeline history as visible run cards with fallback summaries, preview chips, metadata, Details controls, and an explicit empty result message for sparse payloads.
Give placed playlist cards a dedicated content wrapper, full-width action row, wider board columns, and defensive wrapping so titles, timing badges, and Run now controls stay inside card bounds.
Compact the inactive pipeline monitor, widen schedule columns, increase board gutters, and rework scheduled playlist cards so Run now and remove actions no longer crowd playlist text.
Persist per-playlist pipeline run snapshots from the shared playlist pipeline, expose a history API, and upgrade the Auto-Sync modal with live pipeline monitoring, Run now controls, and a runs-style history tab.
Update the dashboard Quick Actions tile to use the shared accent color variables for lane glow, icon chips, borders, hover states, and keyboard focus while keeping the three-destination launcher responsive.
Replace the old Tools CTA with a unified three-lane dashboard launcher for Tools, Auto-Sync, and Automations, using restrained glass/accent styling and responsive stacked behavior.
Cin review: stats-automations.js had ~600 lines of new Auto-Sync code
piled into an already-large shared file. Moved into its own module:
- New webui/static/auto-sync.js holds:
- Schedule board state (`AUTO_SYNC_BUCKETS`, `_autoSyncScheduleState`,
`_autoSyncActiveTab`, `mirroredPipelinePollers`)
- All `autoSync*` functions (trigger conversion, render panels,
drag/drop, save/unschedule, schedule modal lifecycle)
- Mirrored-playlist pipeline helpers (`runMirroredPlaylistPipeline`,
`pollMirroredPipelineStatus`, `applyMirroredPipelineState`,
`parseMirroredPipelineResponse`, `editMirroredSourceRef`,
`getMirroredSourceRef`)
- index.html loads auto-sync.js immediately after stats-automations.js
so the older `renderMirroredCard` path can keep reaching these
globals through the window namespace.
- stats-automations.js drops 567 lines and gains a one-line breadcrumb
pointing at the new file.
No behavior changes — every function moved verbatim. Globals stay in
the same window namespace, so the still-resident `renderMirroredCard`
keeps calling `runMirroredPlaylistPipeline` / `editMirroredSourceRef`
/ `mirroredPipelinePollers` exactly as before.
Both files pass `node --check`. Full Python suite still green.
The Auto-Sync schedule board was detecting its own automations by
checking `group_name === 'Playlist Auto-Sync' || name.startsWith('Auto-Sync:')`.
That's fragile — renaming the row from the Automations page silently
hands ownership back to the read-only Automation Pipelines tab and the
board stops managing it.
This commit replaces the string convention with an explicit
`automations.owned_by` TEXT column:
- Migration `_add_automation_owned_by_column` adds the column and
backfills `'auto_sync'` for existing rows that match the legacy
`group_name`/`name`-prefix pattern, so users running the migration
don't lose their schedules.
- `database.create_automation` and `database.update_automation` accept
`owned_by` (the latter via its `allowed` kwarg set).
- `core/automation/api.py` forwards `owned_by` on both POST and PUT.
Missing field is left as None, preserving today's behavior for every
caller that doesn't opt in.
- The Auto-Sync schedule board posts `owned_by: 'auto_sync'` and the
detection helper now prefers that signal, falling back to the legacy
name/group convention so any hand-rolled rows still show up.
Tests: three new cases in `tests/automation/test_automation_api.py`
covering create-with-owned-by, create-without (defaults to None), and
update set/clear. The fake DB grew the matching kwarg.
Syncing a playlist where most tracks weren't in the library was burning
~30 SQL queries per missed track. `services/sync_service.py` walked
each Spotify track through `check_track_exists` with no
`candidate_tracks`, hitting the legacy title-variation × artist-variation
grid in `database/music_database.py:6041-6069` for every miss. The
`sync_match_cache` only covered matches, so misses re-paid the full
lookup cost every sync. A 30-track playlist with a 30% match rate
(Discover Weekly was 9/30 in the test run) was taking ~4m14s, almost
entirely in the matching phase.
`check_track_exists` already accepts a `candidate_tracks` kwarg that
skips the SQL widening and scores against an in-memory list (the
batched path at `music_database.py:6031`, originally added for artist
discography iteration). The sync service just wasn't using it.
This commit wires that path in via a lazy per-artist pool:
- `sync_playlist` creates an empty `candidate_pool` dict and passes it
to each `_find_track_in_media_server` call.
- `_get_or_fetch_artist_candidates` runs SQL for an artist only on the
first track that needs them — playlists where every track is already
in `sync_match_cache` pay zero pool cost (no upfront delay).
- Subsequent misses for the same artist hit the memoized list and skip
the per-variation SQL grid.
- Artists with no library tracks still get a cached empty list, which
triggers the batched path's instant short-circuit instead of falling
into the SQL widening.
- Any pool fetch failure returns None so the caller falls through to
the original per-track SQL loop, so the worst case is the old
behavior, never a regression.
On a 30-track / 25-unique-artist playlist with a cold cache the SQL
fan-out drops from ~900 queries to ~25; with a warm cache it drops to
zero (no pool fetches at all). Applies to every entry point that goes
through `sync_playlist`: manual sync, auto-sync schedules, the
`playlist_pipeline` automation action, and the Sync All button.
The Playlist Auto-Sync schedule board was showing "next in 8h" on every
card regardless of the configured interval. Root cause: backend stores
next_run as a naive UTC string ("2026-05-25 05:00:00") and the new
auto-sync renderer was parsing it with plain `new Date(...)`, which
treats unmarked timestamps as local time. On Pacific time that offsets
the displayed countdown by ~8 hours. Auto-Sync now routes through the
existing `_autoParseUTC` helper that the rest of the Automations page
already uses, so countdowns line up with the wall clock.
A separate correctness fix in the automation update API: when a PUT
changes `trigger_type` or `trigger_config`, the stored `next_run` is
now blanked before the engine reschedules. Previously the scheduler's
restart-survival path would preserve a stale future timestamp from the
prior interval, so dragging a playlist from the 8h column to the 1h
column kept firing at the old 8h mark. Boot-time restart behavior is
unchanged — only user-driven schedule changes reset the clock.
Modal restyle: the Auto-Sync manager's hardcoded sky-blue palette is
replaced with `var(--accent-rgb)` everywhere so the modal honors the
user's chosen accent color. Tinted glow on the modal border, tabbed
header active state, scheduled-playlist chips, scrollbars, and a new
drag-over highlight on columns all follow the accent theme. The
column drag-over state is wired through new ondragleave handling so
the highlight clears reliably when leaving a column.
Constrain Auto-Sync columns inside the modal with per-column vertical scrolling, add responsive layouts for narrower and shorter viewports, and separate schedule interval labels from next-run timing.
Also prevents unsupported mirrored sources from being scheduled into the playlist pipeline while still showing them as unavailable in the sidebar.
Upgrade the Auto-Sync modal into a tabbed manager with a richer schedule board and a separate read-only Automation Pipelines tab for existing playlist_pipeline automations.
Add a Sync-page Auto-Sync manager with source-grouped mirrored playlists, interval columns, and drag/drop scheduling backed by playlist_pipeline automations.
Schedules created by the board are editable there, while existing custom pipeline automations are shown as locked automation-managed entries.
Rename the manual pipeline button to Auto-Sync and make non-JSON endpoint failures show an actionable restart message instead of a raw JSON parse error.
Expose playlist-native run and status endpoints that reuse the shared mirrored playlist pipeline engine while routing progress into playlist UI state.
Add a Run Pipeline action to mirrored playlist cards and modals with live status polling, and make the shared pipeline lock atomic for manual and scheduled callers.
Return normalized source_ref metadata from mirrored playlist APIs so the UI no longer has to infer editable refresh links from description fields. Accept Spotify embed URLs during source-ref repair and add coverage for source-ref health reporting.
Centralize mirrored playlist source reference normalization so edited links and IDs are stored consistently. Preserve URL-backed refresh refs, surface missing-source refresh failures, count background sync failures in pipeline summaries, and retry guarded automation skips after a short delay instead of losing a scheduled run. Add focused coverage for source refs, mirrored playlist source updates, refresh failures, and guarded retry behavior.
- stop the legacy shell bootstrap from collapsing /import/auto and /import/singles back to the import root on reload\n- update the shell route smoke test to expect the canonical /import/album redirect for the bare import page
Refactor and enhance the player radio feature: add npSetRadioMode, npQueueHasNext, and npEnsureCurrentTrackInQueue helpers to centralize radio-state changes and conditional radio fetch logic; replace direct npRadioMode toggles with npSetRadioMode in the expanded player and artist-radio flow (now awaits playLibraryTrack and triggers fetchIfNeeded). Add accessibility (aria-pressed) and label/pulse elements to the radio button, and update CSS for improved visuals and active-state animation. Also adjust toasts/messages and ensure the current library track is seeded into the queue when needed.
Move the artist watchlist and discography actions into the main artist hero action row so they sit with Artist Radio and Enhance Quality. Apply a shared compact pill treatment for the hero actions while preserving the existing button IDs and click behavior.
Include a capped recent tail of database-backed download history in the unified Downloads page so completed Deezer and other streaming downloads remain visible after runtime tasks are cleaned up or the container restarts. Use persistent download history for the dashboard finished count, keep live tasks authoritative for active rows, avoid showing the local clear-completed action for persisted history rows, and cover history hydration/deduping/capping in status tests.
Expand matched MusicBrainz release groups into concrete releases for specific album searches so import users can choose the correct edition by track count, format, country, and disambiguation. Preserve distinct MusicBrainz release IDs instead of deduping same-title variants, carry release metadata through import matching, and surface those details on album result cards. Add coverage for variant preservation and release-group expansion.
MINOR bump: Qobuz playlist sync is the headline feature (#677), plus
the Import album search fallback-source surfacing fix (#681).
* web_server.py — _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION → 2.6.0
* webui/static/helper.js — split the 2.5.9 'Unreleased — dev cycle'
entries into a new 2.6.0 block with a real release-date marker;
bumped the _getLatestWhatsNewVersion fallback default; rolled the
'2.5.9 Release Stability Pass' modal section down to a generic
'Earlier in v2.5' aggregator now that 2.6.0 is the current release
* .github/workflows/docker-publish.yml — bumped manual version_tag
default to 2.6.0 so the next workflow_dispatch defaults right
Three follow-ups to the Qobuz playlist sync commit:
* webui/static/sync-services.js openYouTubeDiscoveryModal — the
syncing-phase "start polling on modal open" switch was missing the
isQobuz branch (the discovery-modal-close handler hit it but this
earlier hook didn't). Resuming a sync after a page refresh would have
fallen through to startYouTubeSyncPolling.
* webui/static/sync-services.js closeYouTubeDiscoveryModal — the
per-service phase reset block had Tidal, Deezer, Spotify Public,
Beatport branches but no Qobuz. After a Qobuz sync_complete or
download_complete, closing the modal wouldn't reset the card phase
back to 'discovered' or push the phase update to /api/qobuz/update_phase.
* web_server.py _emit_discovery_progress_loop — platform_states didn't
include 'qobuz', so WebSocket discovery progress broadcasts were
silently skipping Qobuz playlists. HTTP-poll fallback covers it but
this puts Qobuz on equal footing with the other services.
Qobuz joins Tidal and Deezer as a first-class playlist sync source.
New Qobuz tab on the Sync page lists user playlists + a virtual
Favorite Tracks entry, and clicks route through the same discovery →
sync → download pipeline the other services already use.
Backend:
* core/qobuz_client.py — new get_user_playlists, get_playlist,
get_user_favorite_tracks, get_user_favorite_tracks_count. Returns
normalized dicts (matches Deezer client shape, not Tidal's
dataclasses) so the discovery worker can iterate directly without
duck-typing. Virtual `qobuz-favorites` ID dispatches to favorites
fetcher inside get_playlist — same trick Tidal uses with
COLLECTION_PLAYLIST_ID. Both list endpoints paginate against
Qobuz's 500-cap limit.
* core/discovery/qobuz.py — new worker module. Mirrors
core/discovery/deezer.py: pause enrichment, iterate tracks,
hit discovery cache, fall back to _search_spotify_for_tidal_track,
build wing-it stub on miss, sync results to mirrored playlist.
* web_server.py — adds /api/qobuz/playlists, /playlist/<id>,
/discovery/start/<id>, /discovery/status/<id>, /discovery/update_match,
/playlists/states, /state/<id>, /reset/<id>, /delete/<id>,
/update_phase/<id>, /sync/start/<id>, /sync/status/<id>,
/sync/cancel/<id>. One-for-one with the Tidal + Deezer endpoint
sets. Qobuz discovery executor registered for clean shutdown.
Frontend:
* webui/static/sync-services.js — full handler set (loadQobuzPlaylists,
createQobuzCard, openQobuzDiscoveryModal, startQobuzDiscoveryPolling,
startQobuzPlaylistSync, startQobuzSyncPolling, cancelQobuzSync,
startQobuzDownloadMissing, rehydrateQobuzDownloadModal, etc.).
Reuses the shared YouTube discovery modal via fake `qobuz_<id>`
urlHash and is_qobuz_playlist flag. Shared switch statements in
getModalActionButtons / generateTableRowsFromState / Wing It helpers
in downloads.js gain new isQobuz branches alongside the existing
per-service ones.
* webui/index.html — new Qobuz tab button + content div, slotted
between Deezer and Deezer Link.
* webui/static/style.css — new .qobuz-icon for the tab icon.
* webui/static/core.js — qobuzPlaylists / qobuzPlaylistStates /
qobuzPlaylistsLoaded globals.
Followed the existing per-service pattern verbatim rather than
refactoring the duplicated transformers across Tidal / Deezer /
Spotify-public / YouTube / Mirrored — that refactor is its own follow-up
PR per the "don't break Tidal/Deezer" scope discipline. Adding the 6th
copy of a proven pattern is lower risk than collapsing 5 working
services behind a new abstraction.
Tests:
* tests/test_qobuz_playlists.py — 12 tests covering pagination,
normalization, favorites virtual-ID routing, artist-name fallback
chain (performer → album.artist → 'Unknown Artist'), and
unauthenticated short-circuits.
Import album search silently fell through to the next source in
METADATA_SOURCE_PRIORITY when the configured primary returned zero
matches — intentional behavior shared with the auto-import worker
(see core/auto_import_worker.py:1316). With MusicBrainz selected and
a query MB couldn't resolve, users saw Deezer cards with no indication
their primary was bypassed.
Backend now echoes `primary_source` on /api/import/search/albums,
/api/import/search/tracks, and /api/import/staging/suggestions.
Frontend renders a per-card 'via {source}' badge when the served
source differs from the primary, plus a banner above the grid when
every card came from a fallback source. Fallback semantics unchanged.
Also collapses an inline duplicate of _renderSuggestionCard inside
importPageSearchAlbum into a single shared renderer.
Regression test pins the contract: response carries primary_source +
per-album source when the chain falls back.
Add dynamic level badges to the hybrid source order settings. The first enabled source shows Album-level only when it supports album-bundle downloads; every other source shows Track-level to make fallback behavior visible.
Update the helper copy and badge styling so users can understand why putting Soulseek, Torrent, or Usenet first changes album-download behavior.
- render the standalone notice directly in the React stats header
- keep the legacy standalone sweep from hiding the stats control incorrectly
- update the stats route test and header layout to match the new behavior
- move stats route legacy handoffs onto explicit SoulSyncWebShellBridge methods\n- stop relying on ad hoc window globals from React code for artist navigation and playback\n- update shell bridge tests and route test doubles to enforce the expanded bridge contract
- delete the old stats page HTML, JS, and CSS now that the React route owns the experience
- preserve helper/tour selectors by exposing the legacy stats ids from the React page
- move shared track playback fallback into library code
- convert the sidebar nav to real links with URL-driven state
- intercept left-clicks so internal navigation stays in-app while preserving native browser link behavior
- keep artist-detail transitions param-aware and update route tests
Three related improvements to the now-playing media player and the
"add to wishlist" / "download missing" modals.
1. Play buttons across track-list modals
Every track row in the download-missing modals (Spotify, Tidal,
YouTube, services, artist album, wishlist download-missing) and
the add-to-wishlist modal now carries a play button. Click runs
playTrackFromLibraryOrStream:
- If the track has a local file_path → playLibraryTrack
- Else POST /api/stats/resolve-track to find it in the library
by title + artist → playLibraryTrack
- Else fall back to _gsPlayTrack streaming
Backend ownership response gains track_id / title / file_path so
the wishlist modal's owned tracks can hand the right metadata
to the player without an extra round trip.
The add-to-wishlist modal previously showed the play button only
on owned tracks; now the button is unconditional so the streaming
fallback can take over for unowned ones (matches the standard
pattern from the rest of the app).
2. Clean media-player display titles
YouTube / Tidal / Qobuz / torrent / usenet plugins encode their
source-side identifier into the filename field as
<source_id>||<display> so download() can recover it later. The
media player's track-title renderer never knew about this
convention and showed strings like
"wvgFsXoGFnQ||Sometimes I Cry When I'm Alone" verbatim in the
now-playing UI. extractTrackTitle and setTrackInfo now strip the
<id>|| prefix defensively so any path into the player gets a
clean display.
Local library playback also fetches canonical metadata from
/api/stats/resolve-track when track.id is present so title /
artist / album / album art come straight from the SoulSync DB
instead of whatever the caller passed in. Falls back silently
to caller values on any error so playback never blocks on the
metadata fetch.
3. Lyrics panel + View Artist close
New collapsed lyrics panel between the playback controls and
queue panel. POST /api/lyrics/fetch (new backend endpoint)
prefers the local .lrc / .txt sidecar files SoulSync writes
during post-processing so downloaded tracks resolve lyrics with
zero network hits; falls back to LRClib exact-match (when album
+ duration are available) then to LRClib search.
Synced LRC results are parsed (handles multi-stamp lines for
repeated choruses), and the active line highlights + smooth-
scrolls into the middle of the viewport on every audio
timeupdate. Plain-text results render without highlighting.
Per-track cache prevents re-fetching when the user revisits the
same track. Lyrics fetch is fire-and-forget — failure shows
"No lyrics found" without ever blocking playback.
View Artist on the expanded player now calls
closeNowPlayingModal before navigating; the modal was previously
sitting open over the artist page, hiding it. Handler is bound
once and is a no-op when no artist_id is attached.
CSS additions are additive (new .modal-track-play-btn and
.np-lyrics-* rules); no existing styles touched. Backend endpoint
returns 200-with-success-false on any miss so callers can render
"no lyrics" without treating it as an error.
WHATS_NEW updated under 2.5.9 with two entries (lyrics + View
Artist close).
Reset profile PIN dialog controls each time it opens so stale profile-specific event listeners cannot submit an admin PIN against a previously selected profile.
Keep failed PIN attempts retryable and restrict launch-lock verification to the admin profile PIN only, so non-admin profile PINs cannot mark the admin lock as verified.
Update Import Music album and queue artwork fallbacks to use the shipped /static/placeholder-album.png asset instead of the nonexistent /static/placeholder.png path.
Replace the remaining static UI fallback to the missing placeholder path and add a regression test that fails if static JS references it again.
Update project version and release notes for 2.5.9. Changes: update .github/workflows/docker-publish.yml default/version_tag prompt to 2.5.9, bump _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION in web_server.py to 2.5.9, and replace the WHATS_NEW entry in webui/static/helper.js with detailed 2.5.9 release notes and a new VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS entry. Also update the helper.js fallback for latest whats-new version to 2.5.9.
Reported bug: filling Jamiroquai's "Light Years" single pulled in
Gut's "Light Years" album tracks (different artist, completely
different genre — track titles like "Wound Fuck" and "Eat My Cum"
made the contamination obvious). The Album Completeness auto-fill
was the only file-copying path with a loose 0.50 SequenceMatcher
artist gate, which let unrelated candidates through whenever the
title matched well.
Two-stage defense now sits on the only album-fill code path
(_fix_incomplete_album in core/repair_worker.py):
- Stage 1 — _album_fill_target_artist_allows_track. Pre-search
gate: before doing any library lookup for a missing track,
refuse to operate if the missing track's source artist(s)
don't match the target album's artist. Compilation albums
(album_artist in {'various artists', 'various', 'soundtrack'})
bypass the gate so legitimate VA releases still work. Empty
source-artist metadata also bypasses for backward compat with
older missing-track records that don't carry per-track artist.
- Stage 2 — _album_fill_artist_names_match. Replaces the old
0.50 SequenceMatcher with an alias-aware 0.82 threshold that
uses core.matching.artist_aliases when available (handles
diacritic variants like Beyoncé/Beyonce and known stage names)
with a normalized-similarity fallback if the aliases module
isn't importable. Skipped candidates are logged at debug so a
later support ticket can show what was rejected and why.
Tests in tests/test_repair_worker_album_fill.py reproduce the
exact reported scenario: target album "Light Years" by Gut +
missing track from a Jamiroquai source → skipped with a logged
warning, no copy attempted, wishlist not poisoned. Second test
covers Stage 2 directly with a wrong-artist library candidate.
Existing test_perform_album_fill_copy_branch still passes.
Note: this fix prevents NEW cross-artist contamination via
Album Completeness. It does not clean up the data anomaly that
made Gut's library entry appear to have a "Light Years" album
in the first place — that's a separate data-quality issue worth
investigating if it recurs.
Clarifies album-bundle progress text in the download modal and active downloads panel so release-first downloads read as downloading a release, then matching tracks after staging.
Adds waiting-state copy and tooltips for rows blocked on release staging, plus source-specific library history badge styling for Torrent, Usenet, Staging, and Auto-Import.
Adds torrent/usenet as release-oriented download sources with album-bundle staging, live progress reporting, and post-processing that selects the requested audio file from completed releases instead of blindly importing the first file.
Keeps album-bundle behavior gated to single-source torrent/usenet album downloads, excludes release sources from hybrid album per-track searches, and allows hybrid non-album tracks to use release results safely.
Improves staged-release matching for featured/bonus track filenames while preserving version mismatches, records torrent/usenet provenance in library history, and updates service/status UI labels.
Covers the flow with focused lifecycle, status, staging, validation, task worker, post-processing, and import side-effect tests.
Route torrent and Usenet album bundles through private per-batch staging so Auto-Import cannot race public staging or duplicate imports.
Expose album-bundle progress in batch status and render it on the Downloads page while the external client is still downloading.
Tighten release handoff safety by rejecting archive path traversal, ignoring torrent candidates without a usable URL, and skipping Soulseek source reuse for torrent/Usenet batches.
Tests: .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/downloads/test_downloads_status.py tests/test_album_bundle_dispatch.py tests/downloads/test_downloads_staging.py tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py
Wraps up the code-review refactor pass.
- config/settings.py: ``download_source`` defaults gain
``album_bundle_poll_interval_seconds`` (default 2s) and
``album_bundle_timeout_seconds`` (default 6h, was a hard-coded
``6 * 60 * 60`` magic constant in torrent.py). The plugin reads
these via ``album_bundle.get_poll_interval`` /
``get_poll_timeout`` with safe fallback to the defaults when the
config value is missing / non-numeric. ``mode`` doc-comment
extended to list ``torrent`` and ``usenet``.
- core/downloads/validation.py: comment block above the album-name
fallback rewritten to document when the fallback actually runs
now — single-track hybrid downloads only, because the album-
bundle gate handles single-source mode and the hybrid chain
filter strips torrent / usenet from album batches. Code path
unchanged; just clarifies the contract for the next reader.
- webui/static/helper.js: WHATS_NEW entry summarising the refactor
pass (helper extraction, dispatch lift, staging deps injection,
atomic copy, configurable timeout, test additions).
The /loop of: extract → inject → test was sweep enough to drop the
gate code's coupling to 2-3 modules and put 49 unit tests behind
the new boundaries. Code-review feedback addressed:
1. album_bundle.py extracted ✓
2. Dispatch lifted out of master.py ✓
3. staging.py decoupled from runtime_state ✓
4. Validation fallback scope documented ✓
5. Poll timeout config-driven ✓
6. ``amazon`` provenance owned in a prior commit ✓
7. End-to-end-shaped tests added (test_album_bundle_dispatch.py)
8. Auto-Import race closed via atomic copy ✓
When a user picks Hybrid mode AND downloads an album, the per-track
search loop fires once per track. Torrent / usenet are release-level
sources — Prowlarr returns album torrents, none of which score
meaningfully against an individual track title. Without filtering,
every track triggered a redundant Prowlarr search, qBit rejected
duplicate hashes after the first, and the run only worked at all
because Auto-Import swept Staging behind the scenes. Confusing
logs, wasted searches, brittle timing.
Fix: thread an optional ``exclude_sources`` parameter through
``DownloadOrchestrator.search``. When the per-track worker detects
that the active batch is an album AND mode is hybrid, it passes
``['torrent', 'usenet']`` so the hybrid chain skips them and falls
through to per-track-compatible sources (Soulseek / streaming).
Gate is narrow on purpose:
- Hybrid + album → skip torrent / usenet (THIS fix)
- Single-source torrent / usenet + album → album-bundle flow on
the master worker (already shipped)
- Hybrid + single-track batch (basic search / wishlist / playlist
of singles) → torrent / usenet still tried, validation.py's
album-name fallback gives them a shot
Excluded list logged at INFO when applied so the behavior is
visible in logs ("Hybrid search: excluding ['torrent', 'usenet']
for this query"). Default ``exclude_sources=None`` keeps every
non-task-worker caller (basic search, stream search, search-and-
download-best, automation handlers) on the original code path.
The download history modal was tagging every torrent / usenet
album-bundle download as 'Soulseek FLAC 24bit' because:
- core/imports/side_effects.py's source_service dict didn't have
entries for 'staging', 'torrent', or 'usenet' usernames. The
staging matcher in core/downloads/staging.py sets
download_tasks[task_id]['username'] = 'staging', which fell
through to the dict's default and got recorded as 'soulseek'
in the track download provenance row. Same fate for any
amazon or other source that wasn't whitelisted.
- The album-bundle flow specifically wants to be labeled as
'torrent' or 'usenet' (where the bytes actually came from),
not 'staging' (the intermediate). The plugin already stashes
the source on the batch state as ``album_bundle_source`` for
the Downloads-page status card; provenance recording can
read the same field.
Fixes:
- core/downloads/staging.py: when marking a task post_processing
after a staging match, check the batch's album_bundle_source
override and use that for username instead of 'staging' when
set. Falls back to 'staging' when no override exists
(manual file-drop case).
- core/imports/side_effects.py: source_service map gets entries
for 'staging', 'torrent', 'usenet', and the previously-missing
'amazon' (which was also falling through to 'soulseek').
- webui/static/library.js: the redownload modal's serviceLabels
/ serviceIcons dicts extended to cover lidarr, amazon,
soundcloud, auto_import, staging, torrent, usenet so badges
render the correct name instead of either the raw source_service
string or no badge at all.
- webui/static/wishlist-tools.js: history-source-chip color
palette extended for the new source labels (Torrent sky-blue,
Usenet violet, Staging / Auto-Import neutral grey).
Note: existing tracks in the DB still carry the wrong 'soulseek'
label — only NEW downloads after this fix get the right label.
A future migration could rewrite historical rows but it's
cosmetic and the underlying audio + metadata are correct.
Fixes the core architectural mismatch between indexer-based sources
and the per-track search-and-pick contract every other download
plugin satisfies. Prowlarr returns release-level torrents and NZBs;
searching for "Luther (with SZA)" against the GNX album torrent
scores near-zero on track-title similarity. Per-track candidate
validation rejects every result, every track in the batch flips
to not_found. The album-name fallback added in an earlier commit
papers over it for some cases but doesn't fix the fundamental
behavior: the user wanted the whole album.
New album-bundle flow does what the user actually wanted:
1. Gate fires inside core/downloads/master.py BEFORE the per-track
analysis loop, strictly when the batch has an album context AND
download_source.mode is 'torrent' or 'usenet' (single-source —
hybrid stays per-track to preserve fallback to Soulseek / etc.).
2. Plugin's new download_album_to_staging method searches Prowlarr
ONCE for the album as a whole ('<artist> <album>'), filters to
the right protocol, runs results through _pick_best_album_release.
3. Picker prefers seeded FLAC over low-seeded MP3, drops single-
track torrents that snuck in via the 40 MB size floor (single
tracks are typically ~10 MB), falls back to most-seeded when
every candidate is below the floor.
4. Picked release goes to the active adapter (qBit / Transmission /
Deluge for torrent; SAB / NZBGet for usenet). Polls until
complete with progress mirrored into the batch state so the
Downloads page can show meaningful status.
5. On completion the existing archive_pipeline walks the save dir
(extracting archives if any), every audio file gets copied into
the staging folder via _unique_staging_path so concurrent batches
don't collide.
6. Gate exits, master worker continues into the normal per-track
flow. Each track task hits try_staging_match early in the worker
and finds its file by fuzzy title match — no Prowlarr search
ever fires per-track, no candidate rejection, files flow through
the existing post-processing pipeline (tags, AcoustID, library
import).
Gate is strictly opt-in. Three orthogonal conditions must all hold:
batch_is_album, mode in ('torrent', 'usenet'), and the plugin must
expose download_album_to_staging. Any other source / hybrid mode /
non-album batch flows through the master worker unchanged. The
existing per-track torrent path still works for basic-search
single-track grabs.
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: download_album_to_staging plus
_pick_best_album_release and _unique_staging_path helpers (shared
with the usenet plugin). _poll_album_download mirrors the existing
poll loop with progress callback emission.
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: parallel implementation reusing
the picker + staging helpers. Different state set ('failed' vs
'error') from the usenet adapter contract.
- core/downloads/master.py: ~90-line gate right after batch context
loading. Mirrors plugin lifecycle into batch state under
``album_bundle_*`` keys so the Downloads page can render progress
while the torrent/usenet job runs (per-track tasks don't exist
yet during this phase). Failed bundle download fails the batch
with a meaningful error; missing plugin / context falls back to
the per-track flow with a warning.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: 5 new tests pinning the
album picker preferences (FLAC over MP3 with comparable size +
better seeders, size floor drops singles, fallback when all
small), staging-path collision suffix, and the not-configured
short-circuit.
Refines the filesystem-access guidance after realising the
simplest setup is to skip the per-protocol folder split entirely
— point Soulseek + qBit + SAB / NZBGet at the same download
folder and SoulSync reads one place.
- webui/index.html: warning card tone shifted from 'this is a
caveat' to 'here's the easiest fix' — leads with the single-
folder recommendation, demotes the per-protocol mount option
to a fallback. Icon swapped from ⚠️ to 💡 to match the
shifted framing.
- docker-compose.yml: comment block restructured. EASIEST SETUP
now leads (reuse the existing ./downloads mount, point every
client there). SEPARATE FOLDERS demoted to a second option
with the same commented placeholders for users who want them.
