Introduce deferred album repair scanning and robust tracklist resolution plus UI/presentation tweaks.
- core/repair_worker.py: Add lazy MusicBrainz and AudioDB client accessors, per-batch folder queues, and register_folder/process_batch to defer folder scans until a batch completes. Implement cascading tracklist resolution (_resolve_album_tracklist) using Spotify/iTunes IDs, Spotify track→album lookup, album search, MusicBrainz release lookup, and AudioDB→MusicBrainz fallback. Add helpers to read Spotify track IDs, MusicBrainz album IDs, album/artist tags from files, MB/AudioDB fetchers, placeholder-ID filtering, and rename associated .lrc files when renaming audio files. Cache/locking and background-threaded scanning included. Improves resilience to missing/placeholder IDs and avoids circular imports.
- web_server.py: Register album folders for repair in post-processing and trigger repair_worker.process_batch when batches complete (multiple completion paths) so scans run after downloads finish.
- webui/static/script.js: Reduce unnecessary background work by skipping many fetches when the tab is hidden, and refresh dashboard-specific data on visibility change to ensure UI updates after OAuth or tab switch.
- webui/static/style.css: Replace glassmorphic backdrop-filters with opaque dark gradients for sidebar and main content to improve GPU rendering and visual consistency.
Overall: Adds reliable post-download album repair scanning using multiple metadata sources and reduces unnecessary client polling and heavy CSS effects for better performance and robustness.
Introduce an optional "Blasphemy Mode" that deletes the original FLAC after a verified MP3 copy is created.
- config: add lossy_copy.delete_original (default: false).
- webui/index.html & static script: add checkbox and warning in settings UI and persist the setting.
- web_server.py: make _create_lossy_copy return the MP3 path when it deletes the FLAC (otherwise None); validate the MP3 using mutagen before removing the FLAC; rename associated .lrc files if present; update post-processing to use the final processed path in logs and wishlist checks and to consider .mp3 variants when FLAC may have been removed.
Behavior is off by default and includes safety checks and logging to avoid accidental deletion of originals.
Add full-featured SpotifyWorker and iTunesWorker background workers to enrich artists, albums, and tracks with external metadata using batch cascading searches, fuzzy name matching, ID validation, and DB backfills. Update RepairWorker to re-read the transfer path from the database each scan, resolve host paths when running in Docker, and trigger immediate rescans when the transfer path changes; remove the static config_manager dependency. Also include supporting changes to the database layer and web UI/server (stats, controls, and styles) to integrate the new workers and reflect updated worker status.
Introduce a RepairWorker to scan the transfer folder and automatically detect/repair broken album track numbers (e.g. the "all tracks = 01" bug). The worker uses mutagen to read/write tags, fuzzy-matches titles against an album tracklist (Spotify/iTunes via a SpotifyClient), updates filenames and the tracks DB file_path when renamed, and caches album tracklists. It also adds DB schema support (repair_status, repair_last_checked, and an index).
Integrates the worker into the web server: initializes and starts the worker, and exposes /api/repair/status, /api/repair/pause and /api/repair/resume endpoints. Adds UI elements (button, tooltip), client-side JS to poll and control the worker, CSS for visuals/animations, and a new image asset (whisoul.png).
Introduce an "Active Downloads" section to the dashboard and wire up client-side plumbing to populate and update it. Adds escapeForInlineJs to safely embed values into inline JS attributes and replaces several inline onclick usages (search/genre/listenbrainz/artist buttons) to prevent quoting issues. Implements updateDashboardDownloads, createDashboardDiscoverBubble, and integrates dashboard updates into artist/search/discover flows (including register/discover download persistence and monitor hooks). Adds dashboard-specific CSS for discover/artist bubbles and minor style fixes (artist image sizing, keyframe formatting) plus a mobile CSS tweak for artist images.
Introduce a Hydrabase P2P mirror worker and integrate it into the web UI and server flows. Adds core/hydrabase_worker.py: a background thread with a capped queue (1000), enqueue API, rate limiting, basic stats (sent/dropped/errors), and logic to send JSON requests over a provided WebSocket (responses received and discarded). Integrates the worker into web_server.py (import, startup init, status/pause/resume endpoints, and enqueues queries from multiple search endpoints when dev mode is enabled). Adds UI elements, JavaScript polling/toggle logic, and CSS styling for a Hydrabase status button in webui (index.html, static/script.js, static/style.css) to display and control worker state.
Introduce a developer-only Hydrabase testing UI and backend WebSocket integration. Adds a simple dev-mode toggle (password 'hydratest') and new API endpoints (/api/dev-mode, /api/hydrabase/connect, /api/hydrabase/disconnect, /api/hydrabase/status, /api/hydrabase/send) that use websocket-client to connect/send raw JSON to a Hydrabase instance. Frontend changes include a Hydrabase nav/page, payload editors, response panel, dev-mode UI in Settings, associated JS handlers, CSS styling, and an icon asset. Also add websocket-client to requirements.
Introduce $artistletter and $disc template variables across config, UI, and backend to support artist-first-letter tokens and multi-disc albums. Update web_server.py to include disc_number in template context, prefer user-controlled $disc in templates, and create configurable disc subfolders using a new file_organization.disc_label setting. Update example and active config, web UI to expose the new variable and disc label selector, and script.js to validate, load, and save the new settings and substitutions.
Introduce a configurable "lossy_copy" feature that creates an MP3 copy alongside downloaded FLAC files. Adds default config (example and runtime) and UI controls for enabling the feature and selecting an MP3 bitrate. Implements _create_lossy_copy in web_server.py which checks the FLAC extension, respects the configured bitrate (default 320 kbps), locates ffmpeg (including a local tools/ffmpeg fallback), performs conversion, and attempts to update the QUALITY tag via mutagen. The feature is invoked after post-processing/moving downloads. Logs and graceful failures (missing ffmpeg, timeouts, tag errors) are included.
Introduce a new $quality template variable that is only substituted into filenames to avoid splitting album folders when tracks of mixed qualities are present. Updates include:
- web_server.py: populate template contexts with 'quality' (from context['_audio_quality']), strip $quality from folder components, substitute it only in the filename, and clean up empty brackets/parentheses/dashes when the variable is empty.
- config/config.example.json and config/config.json: document the new variable in the file_organization template variables string.
- webui/index.html and webui/static/script.js: update UI help text and client-side template validation to include $quality.
This prevents folder fragmentation for albums with mixed-quality files while still allowing quality information in filenames.
Add Deezer as a third metadata enrichment source. Enriches tracks with BPM and explicit flags, albums with
record labels, explicit flags, and type classification (album/single/EP), and backfills artwork and genres across
all entities. Includes background worker with priority queue, rate-limited API client, database migration, server
endpoints, and UI button with purple-themed status tooltip.
Integrated TheAudioDB as a metadata enrichment source. A background worker scans the library in priority order (artists → albums → tracks), matching entities via fuzzy name comparison and storing style, mood, and AudioDB IDs. Includes rate limiting, 30-day retry for not-found items, and a UI tooltip showing phase-based scan progress.
Add a UI button to disconnect Spotify and fall back to iTunes/Apple Music without restarting. Cache is_spotify_authenticated() with a 60s TTL to reduce redundant API calls (~46 call sites were each
triggering a live sp.current_user() call). Fix status endpoint calling the auth check twice per poll,
and ensure both OAuth callback handlers (port 8008 Flask route and port 8888 dedicated server)
invalidate the status cache so the UI updates immediately after authentication.
When a download fails in the Download Missing Tracks modal, hovering over the "Failed" status now shows a tooltip explaining why. The backend already tracked error_message on tasks internally but never sent it to the frontend. This surfaces those reasons and enriches them with detailed context — search diagnostics break down what happened per query (no results, filtered out, search error), retry failures include source counts and likely cause, and timeout/stuck messages name the state and duration. The tooltip uses a fixed-position popup to avoid clipping by the modal's scroll container, with scroll and visibility-aware dismissal.
The Soulseek "Test Connection" button could report success while the dashboard status remained "Disconnected" because the status endpoint only checked if slskd was configured (is_configured()), not actually
reachable (check_connection()). Switched to a real connection check with TTL caching (matching the existing
Spotify/media server pattern), update the status cache after successful tests, and refresh the UI immediately on success.
Split the enhanced search dropdown into distinct Albums and Singles & EPs sections using the album_type field. Changed the zero-tracks error from a cryptic red error toast to a clear warning message. Fixed the loading text to show the actual music source name instead of hardcoded "Spotify".
When clicking a partially-complete album on the Library page, the wishlist modal now shows which tracks are owned (dimmed with checkmark) and which are missing (orange border). Ownership data lazy-loads after the modal opens to avoid blocking the UI, using a batch DB query for speed. Also fixes albums like DAMN. showing "14/15" when all available tracks are owned — the frontend now trusts the backend's "completed" status instead of doing raw track count math against potentially inaccurate Spotify metadata.
Replace blocking DB matching in the Library artist detail view with a two-phase render pattern. The page now renders album cards instantly from Spotify/Itunes data , then streams per-release ownership results via SSE that update cards one-by-one.
Added an Import feature that lets users process local audio files through the existing post-processing pipeline (metadata enrichment, cover art, lyrics, library organization). Files are placed in a configurable Staging folder and imported via two modes: Album mode (search/match files to a Spotify tracklist) and Singles mode (select individual files for processing). Includes auto-suggested albums based on staging folder contents and real-time per-track progress tracking.
- Add global discovery_match_cache table to cache successful track matches
(title+artist+provider -> matched result) across all discovery sources
- Cache check before API search in YouTube, ListenBrainz, Tidal, and Beatport
discovery workers; cache write after high-confidence matches
- Re-discovering playlists or overlapping tracks across sources skips API lookups
- Fix Spotify tab sidebar forcing 2-column grid on mobile via inline JS styles
- Add mobile responsive styles for Spotify playlist cards (stack layout vertically)
Add optional post-download audio fingerprint verification using AcoustID.
Downloads are verified against expected track/artist using fuzzy string
matching on AcoustID results. Mismatched files are quarantined and
automatically added to the wishlist for retry.
- AcoustID verification with title/artist fuzzy matching (not MBID comparison)
- Quarantine system with JSON metadata sidecars for failed verifications
- fpcalc binary auto-download for Windows, macOS (universal), and Linux
- MusicBrainz enrichment worker with live status UI and track badges
- Settings page AcoustID section with real-fingerprint connection test
- Source reuse for album downloads to keep tracks from same Soulseek user
- Enhanced search queries for better track matching
- Bug fixes: wishlist tracking, album splitting, regex & handling, log rotation
