Stream source:
- New setting in Settings → Downloads: "Stream / Preview Source"
- Options: YouTube (instant, default) or Active Download Source
- YouTube streams require no auth and are instant
- If active source is Soulseek, automatically falls back to YouTube
- Uses direct client search (bypasses orchestrator's download mode)
- Config key: download_source.stream_source
Docker:
- entrypoint.sh now runs pip install -U yt-dlp on every container
start, so Docker users always have the latest yt-dlp without
rebuilding the image
Security:
- Toggle in Settings → Advanced: "Require PIN to access SoulSync"
- Full-screen lock overlay on every page load when enabled
- PIN validated server-side against admin profile (bcrypt hash)
- Inline PIN creation if admin has no PIN set, change PIN button if set
- One-time session flag: verify-launch-pin sets it, /profiles/current
consumes it — every page load re-requires PIN
Recovery:
- "Forgot PIN?" on lock screen switches to credential verification
- User pastes any configured API key/token/secret (Spotify, Tidal,
Plex, Jellyfin, Navidrome, ListenBrainz, AcoustID, Last.fm, Genius)
- Server checks against all 9 stored values — any match clears PIN
and disables lock, with toast guiding to Settings to set a new one
Profile switch integration:
- Entering PIN during profile switch also sets launch_pin_verified
flag, preventing double-PIN prompt on the subsequent page reload
Updated version modal and helper What's New with this feature.
Search results now show "In Library" badges on albums and tracks
that already exist in the user's library. Badges appear with a
staggered fade-in animation after results render (non-blocking).
- Backend: /api/enhanced-search/library-check endpoint builds
owned album/track sets in 2 queries, O(1) lookups per result
- Frontend: async call after render, 30ms stagger per badge
- Tracks in library get play button rewired for direct playback
from media server instead of searching download sources
- Fixed enhanced search album card text not visible (info div
now absolute-positioned with gradient overlay)
- Download manager panel hidden by default for more search space
New feature: click the floating ? button (bottom-right corner) to
enter help mode. Click any UI element to see a popover explaining
what it is and how to use it. Covers Dashboard + Sidebar + Watchlist.
- Floating button always visible above modals (z-index 999999)
- Click interception via capture phase prevents accidental actions
- Popover with smart positioning (right/left/below fallback)
- Arrow pointing to target element with accent highlight pulse
- "View full documentation" links navigate to the correct docs section
- Escape key dismisses popover or exits help mode
- Works inside modals (watchlist, artist config, global settings)
- 45+ contextual help entries covering sidebar nav, service cards,
stat cards, all 9 tool cards, watchlist modal buttons, artist
config options, content filters, and activity feed
- Separate helper.js file for maintainability
Artists page hero section:
- Large portrait artist photo (400x480px, rounded rectangle)
- Blurred saturated background from artist image
- 2.6em bold name with text shadow
- Real service logo badges (Spotify, MusicBrainz, Deezer, iTunes,
Last.fm, Genius, Tidal, Qobuz) — matching library page
- Genre pills merged from metadata cache + Last.fm tags
- Last.fm bio with read more/show less toggle
- Last.fm listener count + playcount stats (large bold numbers)
- Backend enriches discography response with artist_info from
metadata cache + library (all service IDs, Last.fm data, genres)
Album/Single/EP cards:
- Full-bleed cover art filling entire card with gradient overlay
- Album name + year overlaid at bottom over dark gradient
- Image zoom on hover, accent glow for dynamic-glow cards
- Responsive grid (220px desktop, 170px tablet, 140px mobile)
Similar artist cards:
- Full-bleed image cards matching library artist card style
- Gradient overlay with name at bottom, aspect-ratio 0.8
- Grid-controlled sizing via existing responsive breakpoints
Genre explorer (multi-source):
- Queries all allowed sources (iTunes+Deezer always, Spotify when
authed) via _get_genre_allowed_sources() helper
- Deezer genre support: genre_id mapping from search results,
one-time backfill from stored raw_json, album-to-artist propagation
- Genre deep dive deduplicates artists across sources
- Source dots on artists/tracks in deep dive modal
- Artist clicks route through source-specific client
- Album endpoint falls back across sources when IDs don't match
- Genre explorer cached 24hr in-memory, positioned at top of
Discover page below hero slider
All changes mobile responsive with proper breakpoints.
Each streaming source (Tidal, Qobuz, HiFi, Deezer) now has an "Allow
quality fallback" checkbox in Settings. When disabled, the source only
tries the exact quality selected — if unavailable, it skips and lets
the orchestrator try the next source. Default is ON (current behavior).
- Tidal and Qobuz SVG logos inverted on artist detail hero badges
- New Artist Radio button: clears queue, plays random artist track, enables radio
- Play buttons on Last.fm top tracks (hover reveal, resolves from library)
- Fixed inline JS escaping with data attribute delegation
Major version bump with 40+ commits of features and fixes:
- Deezer as 6th download source (ARL auth, FLAC/MP3, Blowfish decrypt)
- Cache-powered discovery: 5 sections + Genre Deep Dive modal
- Listening Stats page with charts and play buttons
- Picard-style MB release preflight for consistent album tagging
- Album Tag Consistency repair job
- Unified glass UI across dashboard, sync, and modals
- Mobile responsive overhaul for all pages
- Enrichment fixes: retry loops, rate limits, worker pause during scans
- AcoustID skip for trusted API sources
- Stats page: database storage donut chart with per-table breakdown and total size
- Discover page: 5 new sections mined from metadata cache (zero API calls):
Undiscovered Albums, New In Your Genres, From Your Labels, Deep Cuts, Genre Explorer
- Genre Deep Dive modal: artists (clickable → artist page), popular tracks,
albums with download flow, related genre pills, in-library badges
- All cache queries filtered by active metadata source (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer)
- Stale cache entries (404) gracefully fall back to name+artist resolution
- Album cards show "In Library" badge, artist avatars scaled by prominence
Full stats dashboard that polls Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome for play
history and presents it with Chart.js visualizations:
Backend:
- ListeningStatsWorker polls active server every 30 min
- listening_history DB table with dedup, play_count/last_played on tracks
- get_play_history() and get_track_play_counts() for all 3 servers
- Pre-computed cache for all time ranges (7d/30d/12m/all) rebuilt each sync
- Single cached endpoint serves all stats data instantly
- Stats query methods: top artists/albums/tracks, timeline, genres, health
Frontend:
- New Stats nav page with glassmorphic container matching dashboard style
- Overview cards (plays, time, artists, albums, tracks) with accent hover
- Listening timeline bar chart (Chart.js)
- Genre breakdown doughnut chart with legend
- Top artists visual bubbles with profile pictures + ranked list
- Top albums and tracks ranked lists with album art
- Library health: format breakdown bar, unplayed count, enrichment coverage
- Recently played timeline with relative timestamps
- Time range pills with instant switching via cache
- Sync Now button with spinner, last synced timestamp
- Clickable artist names navigate to library artist detail
- Last.fm global listeners shown alongside personal play counts
- SoulID badges on matched artists
- Empty state when no data synced yet
- Mobile responsive layout
DB migrations: listening_history table, play_count/last_played columns,
all with idempotent CREATE IF NOT EXISTS / PRAGMA checks.
- Add get_artist_top_tracks to Last.fm client (up to 100 tracks)
- Include lastfm_listeners, lastfm_playcount, lastfm_tags, lastfm_bio,
and soul_id in artist detail API response
- New endpoint: /api/artist/<id>/lastfm-top-tracks for lazy loading
- Hero layout: image (160px) | center (name, badges, genres, bio,
listener/play stats, progress bars) | right card (scrollable top
100 tracks from Last.fm)
- Badges 36px with hover lift, bio in subtle card with Read More
toggle, Last.fm tags merged with existing genres
- Numbers formatted: 1234567 → 1.2M
- Graceful degradation: sections hidden when Last.fm data unavailable
Lossy copy now supports MP3, Opus, and AAC (M4A) codecs with a
configurable dropdown in settings. Each codec uses the appropriate
ffmpeg encoder (libmp3lame/libopus/aac) and Mutagen tag writer
(ID3/Vorbis/MP4). Quality tag, filename substitution, and Blasphemy
Mode file cleanup all work per-codec. Backward compatible — existing
configs default to MP3.
SoulID worker generates deterministic soul IDs for all library entities:
- Artists: hash(name + debut_year) — searches iTunes + Deezer APIs,
verifies correct artist by matching discography against local DB
albums via MusicMatchingEngine, pools years from both sources and
picks the earliest. Falls back to hash(name) if no match found.
- Albums: hash(artist + album)
- Tracks: song ID hash(artist + track) + album ID hash(artist + album + track)
Dashboard button with trans2.png logo, rainbow spinner, hover tooltip.
Worker orb with rainbow effect. SoulSync badge on library artist cards.
DB migration adds soul_id columns with indexes to artists/albums/tracks.
Migration version flag auto-resets artist soul IDs when algorithm changes.
- Remove redundant enable checkbox — fallback dropdown is the enable
- Hydrabase option only appears in dropdown when connected
- Connect/disconnect dynamically adds/removes dropdown option
- _is_hydrabase_active checks fallback_source == hydrabase (not config toggle)
- Fallback client returns hydrabase_client when selected, iTunes if disconnected
- Auto-reconnect respects fallback selection for dev_mode handling
- hydrabase added to settings save service list for persistence
- Status shows green Connected on page load when auto-connected
Add Hydrabase section to Settings → Connections with enable toggle,
WebSocket URL, API key, auto-connect, and connect/disconnect button.
_is_hydrabase_active() now checks hydrabase.enabled config in addition
to dev_mode — either path activates it. Default disabled, zero change
for existing users. Dev admin page stays behind dev mode password.
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
Replace 3-column glassmorphic card wall with centered single-column
tabbed interface. Horizontal pill tab bar (Connections, Downloads,
Library, Appearance, Advanced) with category switching.
- Kill glassmorphic cards, accent gradient bars, and box shadows
- Clean section headers with subtle dividers
- Horizontal setting rows (label left, control right)
- Custom styled select dropdowns with SVG arrow
- Quality Profile moved into Downloads tab (conditionally visible)
- Help text wraps to new line below controls
- Path inputs and template inputs properly styled
- Mobile responsive (rows stack, tab bar scrolls)
- Zero functional changes — all element IDs and JS logic preserved
Search results now show switchable tabs for alternate metadata sources.
Primary source renders immediately, alternate sources load in parallel
and tabs appear progressively as each completes.
- New /api/enhanced-search/source/<name> endpoint for per-source queries
- Source-aware routing via ?source= param on discography, album tracks,
album detail, and artist image endpoints (prevents numeric ID
misrouting between iTunes and Deezer)
- Source override stored on artistsPageState for consistent navigation
- Tabs styled with source brand colors, show result counts
- All additive — users who ignore tabs see zero behavioral change
- Add max_peer_queue setting to skip peers with long queues (soft filter
with fallback to unfiltered if all results removed)
- Add download_timeout setting replacing hardcoded 10-minute limit
- Include quality_score (peer health: upload speed, free slots, queue
length) in result ranking — was calculated but never used in sort key
- New UI controls in Soulseek settings section
Replace category-based tag settings (10 toggles) with per-tag controls
grouped by source service in an accordion UI. Each of the 11 service
groups (Spotify, iTunes, MusicBrainz, Deezer, AudioDB, Tidal, Qobuz,
Last.fm, Genius, General) has a master toggle that disables all child
tags, with individual toggles for fine-grained control. ISRC and
copyright fallback chains are now per-source toggleable. Genre merge
contributions from each source are independently controllable. All
tags default to enabled for backward compatibility.
Post-processing now writes all 18 MusicBrainz tags that Picard writes:
Release Group ID, Album Artist ID, Release Track ID, Release Type,
Status, Country, Original Date, Media, Barcode, Catalog #, ASIN,
Script, Total Discs (plus the 5 already supported). One cached API
call per album via get_release with recordings include.
New "Tags to Embed" settings section with 10 category toggles (all
enabled by default): MusicBrainz IDs, Release Info, Source IDs, ISRC,
BPM, Mood & Style, Copyright & Label, Genre Merging, URLs, Quality.
Each shows inline description of what it includes.
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.
- Fix enrichment progress never updating: remove `continue` that skipped
progress_callback for successful tracks in enrich_chart_tracks
- Split chart/extract into two-step flow: extract raw tracks, then enrich
via polling endpoint with live progress overlay updates
- Move Beatport enrichment cache to persistent metadata cache system
- Fix metadata cache detail modal for Beatport (URL entity_ids with slashes)
- Add per-source Clear dropdown (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer/Beatport) to cache browser
- Remove debug logging from enrichment progress tracking
- Persistent download bubble cards on Beatport page and dashboard,
matching the existing artist/search bubble UX with click-to-reopen,
green checkmark on completion, and snapshot persistence
- In-memory enrichment cache (2h TTL, thread-safe) skips re-scraping
when the same chart is clicked twice
- Batch enrichment replaces one-by-one HTTP requests with a single
POST, using WebSocket progress events for overlay updates
- Fix _beatportModalOpening guard blocking modal open after fast
cached enrichment by resetting the flag in openBeatportChartAsDownloadModal
- Hide Browse/My Playlists tabs — Browse is now the only Beatport view
- New sync_history DB table tracks last 100 syncs with full cached context
- Records history for all sync types: Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, YouTube,
Beatport, ListenBrainz, Mirrored playlists, and Download Missing flows
- Sync History button on sync page with modal showing entries, source
filter tabs, stats badges, and pagination
- Re-sync button: server syncs expand card inline with live progress bar,
matched/failed counts, and cancel button; download syncs open download modal
- Re-syncs update the original entry (moves to top) instead of creating duplicates
- Delete button (x) on each entry with smooth remove animation
- Fix mirrored playlist source detection (youtube_mirrored_ matched youtube_)
- Fix broken server import thumbnails with URL validation
New toggle under Post-Download Conversion: automatically converts 24-bit
or high sample rate FLAC files to 16-bit/44.1kHz after download, replacing
the original. Uses ffmpeg with temp file + verify + atomic swap for safety.
Runs before lossy copy so MP3s are made from the downsampled version.
Also prevents bit depth strict mode from rejecting files that will be
downsampled anyway.
- Switch user automations to 2-column grid layout (matches system automations)
- Add duplicate button on non-system cards with POST /api/automations/<id>/duplicate
- Add search/filter bar (text search + trigger/action dropdowns) shown at 6+ automations
- Add Inspiration section with 8 starter templates that pre-fill the builder
- Add folder-style automation grouping with group_name DB column, dropdown
popover for assignment, collapsible group sections, and builder group input
- Dark translucent background with backdrop blur instead of bright colored fills
- Animated flowing gradient border using CSS mask-composite technique
- Color-tinted labels and count badges (amber for watchlist, accent for wishlist)
- Shimmer sweep clipped inside button bounds
- Structured HTML: separate icon, label, badge, and shimmer elements
- Badge pulses when count > 0
- Worker orbs: 7s delay before collapsing back after mouse leaves header
Worker buttons shrink to floating colored orbs with physics-based
movement, spark emissions from active workers, connection lines, and
center gravity. Hovering the header expands orbs back to full buttons
with staggered spring animation. Desktop only, toggleable in Settings
under UI Appearance.
Per-job and per-status filtering — respects active toolbar filters so
users can clear e.g. only track number findings or only dismissed items.
Confirmation uses the app's styled modal instead of browser confirm().
Users can now choose between iTunes/Apple Music and Deezer as their free
metadata source in Settings. Spotify always takes priority when authenticated;
the fallback handles all lookups when it's not.
Core changes:
- DeezerClient: full metadata interface (search, albums, artists, tracks)
matching iTunesClient's API surface with identical dataclass return types
- SpotifyClient: configurable _fallback property switches between iTunes/Deezer
based on live config reads (no restart needed)
- MetadataService, web_server, watchlist_scanner, api/search, repair_worker,
seasonal_discovery, personalized_playlists: all direct iTunesClient imports
replaced with fallback-aware helpers
Database:
- deezer_artist_id on watchlist_artists and similar_artists tables
- deezer_track_id/album_id/artist_id on discovery_pool and discovery_cache
- Full CRUD for Deezer IDs: add, read, update, backfill, metadata enrichment
- Watchlist duplicate detection by artist name prevents re-adding across sources
- SimilarArtist dataclass and all query/insert methods handle Deezer columns
Bug fixes found during review:
- Similar artist backfill was writing Deezer IDs into iTunes columns
- Discover hero was storing resolved Deezer IDs in wrong column
- Status cache not invalidating on settings save (source name lag)
- Watchlist add allowing duplicates when switching metadata sources
Saves successfully loaded playlist URLs to localStorage and displays
them as clickable pills between the input bar and playlist container.
Clicking a pill re-loads that URL; X button removes it. Max 10 per
source, most recent first. Source-colored hover accents match each
tab's brand styling.
Also fixes duplicate playlist bug — YouTube and Spotify Public now
check for already-loaded playlists before making API calls, preventing
broken duplicate cards when the same URL is entered twice.
New library_history table logs every completed download and every new
track imported from Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome. A "History" button next
to "Recent Activity" on the dashboard opens a modal with Downloads and
Server Imports tabs, album art thumbnails, quality/source badges, and
pagination.
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.
Scrapes Spotify's embed endpoint to extract track data from any public
playlist or album URL. Full discovery flow with Deezer parity: parse →
card → discovery modal → live progress → sync → download missing.
- New scraper: core/spotify_public_scraper.py (embed endpoint parsing)
- 12 API endpoints mirroring Deezer's discovery/sync/download flow
- WebSocket live discovery updates via spotify_public_discovery_states
- Green-branded tab, cards, and input styling (#1DB954)
- Album vs playlist detection with distinct card icons (💿/🎵)
- Download persistence: card click reopens download modal after close
- Card phase reset on cancel/completion (closeDownloadMissingModal)
- Backend download linking for spotify_public_ and deezer_ prefixes
- Completion handlers (V2 + no-missing-tracks) for both platforms
- Source URLs stored on mirrored playlists for future auto-refresh
Southern hemisphere users now see correct seasons (e.g. March = Autumn,
December = Summer). Holidays (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's) stay
calendar-fixed regardless of hemisphere.
- Hemisphere dropdown in Discovery Pool Settings
- GET/POST /api/discovery/hemisphere endpoints
- Season detection offsets months by 6 for southern hemisphere
- Stored in metadata table, defaults to northern
- Add whisoul.png to modal header with subtitle text and gradient background
- Responsive: smaller logo on mobile, hide subtitle
- Share _resolve_file_path in repair_worker for cross-environment path compat
- Use path resolution in orphan and duplicate file deletion
- Guard directory cleanup against removing the transfer folder itself
- Restore correct button label text on fix error recovery
- Add findings dashboard with summary stats and per-job clickable filter chips
- Redesign findings cards with expandable detail panels and per-type renderers
- Redesign history tab with status dots, stat pills, and full timestamps
- Fix dead file cleaner false positives by using suffix-based path resolution
- Fix orphan file detector false positives by matching via path suffixes
- Add help text modal for each repair job card
- Enlarge maintenance modal (1100px wide, 90vh tall)
Automatically mirrors every parsed playlist (Spotify, Tidal, YouTube, Beatport) to a local database so they're always accessible — even if a service subscription lapses or the browser closes.
- New "Mirrored" tab on the Sync page with source-branded cards showing discovery/download status
- Auto-mirrors on successful parse (upsert — re-parsing updates the existing mirror, no duplicates)
- Click any mirrored playlist to browse its full track list, then run it through the discovery pipeline
- Cards dynamically reflect live state: Discovering → Discovered → Downloading → Downloaded
- Download modal rehydrates after page refresh — click a "Downloading..." card to resume viewing progress
- All phase transitions (start, complete, cancel, error, modal close) keep card and backend state in sync
- Profile-scoped via profile_id, consistent with other features
Allow multiple users to share a single SoulSync instance with isolated personal data. Each profile gets its own watchlist, wishlist, discovery pool, similar artists, and bubble snapshots — while sharing the same music library, database, and service credentials.
- Netflix-style profile picker on startup when multiple profiles exist
- Optional PIN protection per profile; admin PIN required when >1 profiles
- Admin-only profile management (create, edit, rename, delete)
- Profile avatar images via URL with colored-initial fallback
- Zero-downtime SQLite migration — all existing data maps to auto-created
admin profile
- Single-user installs see no changes — profile system is invisible until
a second profile is created
- WebSocket count emitters scoped to profile rooms (watchlist/wishlist)
- Background scanners (watchlist, wishlist, discovery) iterate all profiles
Migrates 38 HTTP polling loops to WebSocket push events across 6 phases: service status, dashboard stats, enrichment workers, tool progress, sync/discovery progress, and scan status. All original HTTP polling is preserved as automatic fallback — if WebSocket is unavailable or disconnects, the app seamlessly reverts to its previous behavior. Includes 162 tests verifying event delivery, data shape, and HTTP parity. Also fixes a copy-paste bug in Beatport sync error cleanup.
Adds a full public REST API at /api/v1/ with 32 endpoints covering library, search, downloads, wishlist, watchlist, playlists, system status, and settings. Includes API key authentication (Bearer token), per-endpoint rate limiting, and consistent JSON response format. API keys can be generated and managed from the Settings page. No changes to existing functionality — the API delegates to the same backend services the web UI uses.
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.
SoulSync was importing from all Navidrome libraries regardless of user access restrictions. Added a "Music Library" dropdown in Navidrome settings that lets users scope imports to a specific music folder. Uses the Subsonic musicFolderId parameter on artist, album, and search API calls. Selecting "All Libraries" reverts to the previous behavior.
Add a POST /api/quarantine/clear endpoint to delete all files and folders inside the ss_quarantine directory (uses docker_resolve_path and reports removed item count). Implement _sweep_empty_download_directories() to walk the downloads folder bottom-up and remove empty directories (preserves root download dir, skips hidden entries, robust against locked/non-empty dirs). Wire the sweeper into existing cleanup flows: clear_finished_downloads(), the periodic _simple_monitor_task(), and the failed-tracks post-cleanup path so leftover empty folders are removed. Also add a Clear Quarantine button in the web UI and a clearQuarantine() client function to call the new API and show feedback.
Introduce interactive discography filters on the artist detail page. Adds filter UI markup (category, content, ownership) in index.html and styles in style.css. Implements filter state, initialization, reset and apply logic in script.js; tags release cards with data attributes (live/compilation/featured) using regex heuristics, updates visibility and per-section owned/missing counts, and re-applies filters when releases are updated. Integrates filter setup into page init and resets filters when loading artist data.
Raise the default Jellyfin API timeout for bulk operations from 30s to 120s to better handle slow servers and large database syncs. Updated core/jellyfin_client.py to set bulk_timeout to 120, webui/index.html to show 120s in the settings input, and webui/static/script.js to use 120 as the fallback when loading settings. Aligns UI and client behavior to reduce timeout errors during heavy syncs.
Add a configurable API timeout for Jellyfin bulk requests and improve fetch retry behavior. UI: adds an "API Timeout (seconds)" field (15–300s, default 30) in webui/index.html and persists it via webui/static/script.js (load/save). Client: jellyfin_client.py now reads api_timeout from config_manager, uses it as the bulk timeout and computes a sensible non-bulk timeout (max(5, bulk_timeout//6)). Fetch loops for tracks and albums were hardened: reducing batch size now resets consecutive failure counters, log messages were clarified, and the stopping/retry thresholds were adjusted to avoid premature aborts at minimum batch sizes.
Introduce a global watchlist override feature and UI to control release/content filters across all watchlist artists. Backend: add /api/watchlist/global-config (GET/POST) for reading/updating global settings, validation to require at least one release type when override is enabled, and _apply_watchlist_global_overrides() to apply settings to WatchlistArtist objects. Scanners (manual and automatic) now call _apply_watchlist_global_overrides() and perform additional checks (_should_include_release, _should_include_track) to skip releases/tracks according to config. Frontend: add a Global Watchlist Settings modal, controls (release types, content filters, include-all shortcut), save/validation logic, banners/notices when global override is active, and integration into the watchlist modal and per-artist config. Styles: add supporting CSS for the modal and banners. Small cleanup/whitespace adjustments included.
Add Hydrabase support as an optional/dev metadata source and comparison tool.
- Add core/hydrabase_client.py: synchronous Hydrabase WebSocket client that normalizes results to Track/Artist/Album types and exposes raw access.
- Update config/settings.py: add hydrabase settings (url, api_key, auto_connect) and getter.
- Update web_server.py: integrate HydrabaseClient, initialize client alongside the existing HydrabaseWorker, add auto-reconnect using saved config, persist credentials on connect/disconnect, add endpoints for status and stored comparisons, background comparison runner (Hydrabase vs Spotify vs iTunes), and adapt multiple search endpoints to optionally use Hydrabase as the primary metadata source with fallbacks.
- Update web UI (webui/index.html, webui/static/script.js, webui/static/style.css): add network stats and source comparison UI, pre-fill saved credentials, show peer count, load/display comparisons, update disconnect behavior to disable dev mode, and add Hydrabase badge styling.
Behavioral notes: when dev mode + Hydrabase are active, searches can be served from Hydrabase and comparisons to Spotify/iTunes are run in background; when Hydrabase fails the code falls back to Spotify/iTunes. Saved Hydrabase credentials are persisted for auto-reconnect; disconnect disables dev mode and auto_connect.
Files touched: config/settings.py, core/hydrabase_client.py, web_server.py, webui/index.html, webui/static/script.js, webui/static/style.css.
Introduce a new Retag tool to track and re-tag previously downloaded albums/singles. Changes include:
- Database: add migration hook and create retag_groups and retag_tracks tables, indexes, and many helper methods (add/find/update/delete groups & tracks, stats, trimming).
- Backend (web_server): capture completed album/single downloads into the retag tables, implement retag execution logic (_execute_retag) to fetch album metadata, match tracks, update tags, move files, download cover art, and update DB. Add thread-safe globals, executor, and REST endpoints for stats, listing groups, group tracks, album search, execute, status, and delete.
- Frontend (webui): add Retag Tool card, modals, search UI, JS to list groups/tracks, search albums, start retag operations, poll status, and update UI; include help content. Add CSS for modals and components.
The migration is invoked during DB init to ensure existing installations create the new tables. The tool caps stored groups (default 100) and avoids duplicate track entries.
Set m3u_export.enabled default to false and update the UI so the M3U auto-save checkbox is unchecked unless explicitly enabled. Changes: config/settings.py flips the default to false, webui/index.html removes the checked attribute from the checkbox, and webui/static/script.js adjusts the logic to only check the box when settings.m3u_export.enabled === true. This prevents automatic M3U exports for users who don't explicitly opt in.
Introduce M3U export feature with UI control and server-side saving. Adds a new m3u_export config option (enabled flag) and a checkbox in the settings UI. The web endpoint /api/save-playlist-m3u now checks the m3u_export setting (unless force=true), builds the target folder using a new _compute_m3u_folder() helper (leveraging existing template logic with sensible fallbacks), sanitizes filenames, and writes .m3u files into the computed folder. Frontend JS loads/saves the new setting, supplies album/artist metadata when auto-saving, and both autoSave and manual export now POST M3U data to the server (manual export uses force=true). Also changed browser download filename extension to .m3u and added minor logging/response behavior.
Prevent accidental misconfiguration of Docker container-internal paths
(Slskd Download Dir, Matched Transfer Dir, Import Staging Dir) by making
them read-only by default.
Repurposes the non-functional Browse button into a per-field Unlock/Lock
toggle. Adds a warning blurb below the Download Settings header so users
understand these are container paths, not host paths.
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.
