The MusicBrainz consistency change referenced 'context' inside
_embed_source_ids(), but that variable was never passed to the function.
Every download since that commit silently skipped ALL source ID tags
(Spotify, MusicBrainz, Deezer, AudioDB, Tidal, Qobuz, Last.fm, Genius)
with the error 'name context is not defined' caught as non-fatal.
Fix: pass context from _enhance_file_metadata to _embed_source_ids,
with None default for backward compatibility.
Adaptive card on the Dashboard showing library state with four modes:
- No server: gold accent, directs to Settings
- Disconnected: gold warning with troubleshooting guidance
- Empty library: blue accent with prominent Scan Now button
- Healthy: green accent with stats grid (artists/albums/tracks/DB size),
Refresh button (incremental) and Deep Scan button (full re-check)
Stats displayed as mini cards with individual icons. Animated glow orb,
gradient accent top line, shimmer progress bar during scans. Deep scan
added to /api/database/update endpoint (deep_scan flag) — re-checks
every track, adds new ones, removes stale, preserves enrichment data.
Confirmation dialog explains what deep scan does before starting.
Soulseek source files often carry the uploader's MusicBrainz IDs from
different releases. When post-processing skipped tag clearing (missing
spotify_album context in wishlist batches, or enhancement exceptions),
these conflicting IDs persisted and caused Navidrome to split one album
into multiple entries.
Added _wipe_source_tags() — a lightweight emergency tag wipe that clears
all tags without writing new ones. Called in every failure/skip path:
stream processor exception, playlist mode exception, verification worker
missing context, and verification worker exception. Idempotent and
wrapped in try/except so it never interferes with the existing flow.
When the DB stored a path the resolver couldn't map to a local file
(common with Navidrome virtual paths or Docker path mismatches), file
deletion was silently skipped — the DB record was removed but the file
stayed on disk with no indication to the user.
Now logs the resolution failure with the stored path, returns a
file_error in the API response, and the frontend shows a warning toast
explaining the file wasn't deleted plus a second toast with the specific
reason (e.g. Navidrome 'Report Real Path' instructions).
Keep the weekly Last.fm radio generation step in the web watchlist scan post-processing chain so the higher-level scan behavior stays intact after moving the scan loop into the shared scanner core.
Bring placeholder tracklist skipping back into the shared watchlist scan path, and centralize the DB-only artist image backfill helper so both web scan entrypoints reuse the same logic.
Drop the legacy watchlist scan entrypoints that are no longer used by the web scan flow, and keep the live refresh path pointed at the shared scanner helper.
Move the shared watchlist scan loop into core/watchlist_scanner.py so web_server.py only handles triggers, locks, progress, and post-scan orchestration.
Manual and scheduled watchlist scans now share the same scanner-side core, while the web entrypoints keep profile selection and automation progress updates.
Recording MBIDs are now pulled from the matched release tracklist instead
of independent match_recording() searches, guaranteeing the recording ID
is consistent with the selected release. Batch-level artist name is used
for release cache keys so all tracks hit the same preflight-cached entry
even when Soulseek metadata spells the artist differently. A post-batch
consistency pass (run_album_consistency) rewrites album-level tags on all
files after the batch completes — the safety net that prevents Navidrome
album splits even when per-track lookups drift.
New POST /api/v1/request endpoint accepts a search query from external
sources (Discord bots, Home Assistant, curl) and triggers the
search-match-download pipeline asynchronously. Returns a request_id
for status polling via GET /api/v1/request/<id>. Optional notify_url
for callback on completion.
Also adds webhook_received trigger type and search_and_download action
type to the automation engine, so users can build custom flows like
"when webhook received → search & download → notify Discord".
Includes info panel in Settings showing endpoint URL and curl example.
Two bugs: (1) 'wishlist' was missing from the settings save whitelist,
so the toggle silently reset to ON on every page reload. (2) The
wishlist cleanup function unconditionally removed tracks sharing the
same name+artist regardless of album, ignoring the allow_duplicates
setting. Now when allow_duplicates is on, the dedup key includes the
album name so same song from different albums can coexist.
Prints all SOULSYNC_* environment variables before OAuth servers start,
helping diagnose reported Unraid issue where callback port env var is
present in the container but not seen by the Python process.
Auth instruction pages and log messages now use the actual configured
callback port instead of hardcoding 8888. Added startup logging that
prints whether SOULSYNC_SPOTIFY/TIDAL_CALLBACK_PORT env vars were
detected, helping diagnose Unraid/Docker env var issues. Also fixes
uses_main_port detection for custom callback ports and moves the
wishlist button handler to global init so it works on all pages.
Explored status was stored only in frontend memory; on reload the badge
disappeared because the API never returned it. Added explored_at column
to mirrored_playlists (auto-migrated), written when build-tree completes,
and read back via SELECT * so the badge survives page refreshes.
- Pass playlist image_url to _run_sync_task from all source-specific sync
start handlers (Deezer, Tidal, Spotify public, YouTube, automation mirror)
— previously only the /api/sync/start endpoint passed it
- Fix plex_client.set_playlist_image: use uploadPoster(url=) instead of
uploadPoster(data=) which is not a valid PlexAPI argument
- deezer_client: use picture_xl > picture_big > picture_medium fallback
for better cover art resolution
- tidal_client: extract image_url in get_playlist() from JSON:API
relationships (was only extracted in metadata-only listing)
- parse_youtube_playlist: capture playlist thumbnail from yt-dlp result
- Add visible logging for image upload attempts and outcomes
Spotify was being called for album/artist data fetching across multiple
background workers and the Artists page search even when the user had
Deezer or iTunes set as their primary metadata source. Being authenticated
for playlist sync was treated as permission to use Spotify for everything.
- watchlist_scanner: add _spotify_is_primary_source() that checks both
auth and primary source config; use it for all album/artist data fetching
(discovery pool, recent album caching, playlist curation, similar artist
ID matching, proactive ID backfill). _spotify_available_for_run() is kept
for sync_spotify_library_cache which must run regardless of primary source
- repair_jobs/metadata_gap_filler: gate Spotify ISRC lookup on primary
source being 'spotify'; MusicBrainz lookup unaffected
- repair_jobs/unknown_artist_fixer: replace hardcoded spotify_client with
source-aware client selection — primary source ID tried first, each ID
matched to its correct client (fixes latent bug passing Deezer IDs to
Spotify)
- web_server.py /api/match/search: Artists page search was hardcoded to
spotify_client.search_artists(); now uses _get_metadata_fallback_client()
so results come from the configured primary source
Adds a new Last.fm Radio section to the Discover page that lets users
search a track on Last.fm, generate a similar-tracks playlist, and run
it through the existing discovery/download/sync pipeline. Also generates
playlists automatically from top listening history during watchlist scans
(max once per week).
- core/lastfm_client.py: Add get_similar_tracks() using track.getsimilar
- core/listenbrainz_manager.py: Add save_lastfm_radio_playlist() with
deterministic MBID (MD5 seed), cleanup limit of 5 for lastfm_radio type
- web_server.py: Add /api/lastfm/configured, /api/lastfm/search/tracks,
/api/lastfm/radio/generate, /api/discover/listenbrainz/lastfm-radio;
fix playlist['name'] KeyError in discovery worker that was resetting
phase back to 'fresh' after completion
- core/watchlist_scanner.py: Add _generate_lastfm_radio_playlists() with
weekly throttle, called at end of scan_all_watchlist_artists()
- webui/index.html: Add #lastfm-radio-section above ListenBrainz section,
hidden unless Last.fm API key is configured
- webui/static/script.js: Search/generation/card-load functions; fix
discovery modal labels (Last.fm Radio vs ListenBrainz), description
update on completion, belt-and-suspenders completion handling inside
updateYouTubeDiscoveryModal; fix album/duration display for tracks
without metadata; music note SVG placeholder for missing art
- webui/static/style.css: Styles for search bar, dropdown, result rows
New core/replaygain.py module uses FFmpeg's ebur128 filter (already a
project dependency) to analyze integrated loudness and true peak, then
writes ReplayGain 2.0 tags (-18 LUFS reference) to MP3 (TXXX frames),
FLAC/OGG/Opus (Vorbis comments), and M4A/MP4 (freeform atoms).
Three analysis modes in the enhanced library view:
- Per-track RG button: synchronous single-track analysis (~1-3 s)
- Album "ReplayGain" button: background job writing both track gain
and album gain (mean LUFS across all album tracks) to every file
- Bulk bar "ReplayGain" button: batch track-gain for selected tracks
read_file_tags() in tag_writer.py extended with four new optional keys
(replaygain_track_gain/_peak, replaygain_album_gain/_peak) so existing
RG values surface in the tag-preview diff view. Purely additive — no
existing endpoints or DB schema changed.
Singles could not be saved as a flat file (e.g. "$artist - $title")
because the frontend blocked any template without a "/" and the
backend path builder treated an empty folder_path as falsy, falling
through to the hardcoded nested-folder structure.
Frontend: removed the must-include-slash validation for single
templates only (album templates still require it).
Backend: changed condition from `if folder_path and filename_base`
to `if filename_base` so an empty folder_path is handled correctly
as a flat drop into the transfer root.
Hardcoded ports 8888/8889 conflict when SoulSync runs behind Gluetun or
other containers that claim those ports. Introduce SOULSYNC_SPOTIFY_CALLBACK_PORT
and SOULSYNC_TIDAL_CALLBACK_PORT env vars (defaulting to 8888/8889) so
users can remap without rebuilding the image.
docker-compose.yml exposes the vars with comments explaining how to keep
the port mappings in sync with the redirect URI in Settings → Connections.
Track per-quality-tier failure reasons across all failure paths (stream
error, empty manifest, download exception, stub file, MP4 extraction
failure) and include them in the exhausted-tiers log message so failures
are diagnosable from logs.
When HiRes is configured with no fallback and all tiers are exhausted,
log an actionable hint directing the user to enable Quality Fallback.
Surface Tidal-specific error messages in the UI task on retry
exhaustion: distinguishes HiRes-unavailable (with actionable guidance)
from general Tidal auth/quality failures, rather than showing the
generic Soulseek error string.
track_downloads stores local Windows paths but tracks table stores
server-side paths (Plex/Jellyfin). Both the track_id lookup (NULL
due to failed auto-link at insert time) and exact file_path fallback
were failing.
Added filename-suffix LIKE matching as a final fallback in
get_track_source_info, plus a back-link so the track_id gets written
back for fast future lookups. Also improved the auto-link in
record_track_download to use the same suffix matching when exact path
fails.
M3U entries now resolve actual file paths from the DB instead of
synthesising a fake 'Artist - Title.mp3' string that no media server
could use. Adds optional M3U Entry Base Path setting (Downloads tab)
so servers requiring absolute paths (e.g. /mnt/music) can be supported.
- New POST /api/generate-playlist-m3u endpoint: per-artist batch DB
lookups with fuzzy title matching, prefixes entry_base_path when set
- autoSavePlaylistM3U and exportPlaylistAsM3U now call the new endpoint
- M3U Entry Base Path input added below Music Videos Dir in settings,
follows path-input-group pattern with Unlock button and autosave
Server Playlists was filtered to only show playlists matching mirrored_playlists entries,
but Discover syncs are stored in sync_history (not mirrored_playlists), so they were
excluded. Adds GET /api/sync/history/names returning distinct synced playlist names,
and includes those in the filter alongside mirrored playlists.
_try_staging_match() built a minimal context missing spotify_artist,
spotify_album, is_album_download, and has_clean_spotify_data. Post-
processing returned early at the missing-spotify_artist guard and the
copied file was left at the transfer root with its original filename.
Now mirrors the sync modal worker's context-building: uses
_explicit_album_context/_explicit_artist_context when available
(artist-page album downloads), falls back to track.album/track.artists
for playlists and sync modal. track_number and disc_number are also
forwarded so multi-disc albums land in the correct Disc N/ subfolder.
import_album_process never computed total_discs, so spotify_album.total_discs
always defaulted to 1 in _build_final_path_for_track. Now pre-computes
total_discs from the matched tracks before the per-track loop.
Builds a new Your Albums section on the Discover page that aggregates
saved/liked albums from all connected services, mirroring the Your Artists
pattern. Deezer works via both OAuth and ARL.
- tidal_client: add get_favorite_albums() with V2/V1 API fallback
- deezer_client: add get_user_favorite_albums() via OAuth (user/me/albums)
- deezer_download_client: add get_user_favorite_albums() via ARL session
- music_database: add liked_albums_pool table (deduped by artist::album
normalized key), upsert_liked_album, get_liked_albums,
get_liked_albums_last_fetch, clear_liked_albums
- web_server: GET /api/discover/your-albums (ownership-checked, paginated),
GET /api/discover/your-albums/sources, POST /api/discover/your-albums/refresh,
_fetch_liked_albums background worker (Spotify + Tidal + Deezer OAuth/ARL)
- frontend: Your Albums section with source selector cog, album grid reusing
spotify-library-card styles, search/filter/sort/pagination, download missing
button, auto-refresh poll on first load
Also fix: Deezer greyed out in Your Artists sources when using ARL — connection
check now accepts ARL auth (deezer_dl.is_authenticated()) in addition to OAuth,
and _fetch_and_match_liked_artists falls back to ARL client for artist fetching.
Add get_user_favorite_artists(limit=200) to DeezerDownloadClient to fetch a user's favorite artists via the public API using an ARL-authenticated session (paginated, error-handled, returns deezer_id, name, image_url).
Update web_server to treat Deezer as connected if either OAuth or ARL is authenticated, and to fetch favorite artists from OAuth client when available or from soulseek_client.deezer_dl (ARL) otherwise. Fetched artists are upserted into the database and appropriate log/console messages and counters are updated.
Three issues fixed:
1. Plex add-track used delete+recreate (Playlist.create) which was
unreliable — switched to addItems() which atomically appends the
track without touching existing playlist items.
2. After a successful add, the UI only did an optimistic local update.
On reopen the automatic matcher ran fresh and couldn't connect the
manually selected track to the source slot, making it look unfixed.
Now both add and replace re-fetch the compare view from the server
so the matcher sees the actual updated Plex state.
3. Matching algorithm was too strict for common title variants. Added
_norm_title() which strips feat./ft., remaster/remastered, and
edition qualifiers before comparison — so "Boy 1904" matches
"Boy 1904 (2019 Remaster)" and "Float Away" matches "Float Away
(feat. Flamingosis & Eric Benny Bloom)". Display titles unchanged.
Spotify album art: replace the 4-char size segment after '0000ab67616d'
with '82c1' to request the original uploaded master (up to 2000px+).
Applied via _upgrade_spotify_image_url() in Track, Artist, and Album
dataclass constructors and as a catch-all in _download_cover_art.
Scoped to the ab67616d album art prefix only — artist images use a
different prefix (ab676161) where the trick does not apply.
iTunes/Apple Music: replace '100x100bb' with '3000x3000bb' in all
artworkUrl100 replacements across Track, Artist, Album, and the
get_album images arrays. Also applied as a catch-all in _download_cover_art.
Deezer already uses cover_xl at its maximum — no changes needed there.
The status cache's source field was being set by _get_metadata_fallback_source(),
which internally calls is_spotify_authenticated() a second time via module import.
Any inconsistency between that path and the direct auth check already performed
would return 'deezer', poisoning the cache — and since the WebSocket takes over
from the HTTP poll, it never corrected itself.
Now reads config directly and reuses the single auth probe result.
Gear button next to View All opens a sources modal letting users pick
which connected services (Spotify, Tidal, Last.fm, Deezer) contribute
artists to the Your Artists carousel. Setting saved via standard
/api/settings endpoint under discover.your_artists_sources.
- GET /api/discover/your-artists/sources returns enabled config + which
services are currently connected
- _fetch_and_match_liked_artists skips sources not in the enabled list
- Disconnected services shown dimmed and non-interactive in modal
- Saving with nothing selected blocked with error toast
- Remove z-index from .sidebar-header (fixes artist map overlap)
- Add padding-bottom to #automations-list-view (search bar overlap fix)
The fallback test (used when no audio files exist in the library) sends
a dummy fingerprint to the AcoustID API. The API correctly rejects the
dummy fingerprint but this is not error code 4 (invalid key), so the
test was returning False instead of True. Any non-code-4 error from the
fallback means the API key was accepted — only code 4 means a bad key.
Instrument web_server.py to record Spotify API usage by calling core.api_call_tracker.api_call_tracker.record_call before various Spotify SDK calls. Added local imports and record_call invocations around artist, playlist, playlist_tracks_page, current_user_saved_tracks, artists_batch, track and related endpoints across functions such as get_artist_image, get_playlist_tracks, watchlist_artist_config, enrich_similar_artists, get_your_artist_info, get_artist_map_explore, import_album_process and import_singles_process. This enables per-endpoint monitoring and helps with rate-limit tracking while keeping the import local to avoid top-level dependency issues.
Deezer and iTunes defaulted to 50 albums max, silently truncating large
discographies. Deezer now paginates (100 per page) up to 200. iTunes
raised to 200 (single call). All callers in web_server.py updated to
use the new defaults instead of hardcoding limit=50.
Also adds diagnostic logging for allow_duplicates album comparison
to help debug inconsistent singles behavior.
Version bump to 2.3 with rewritten What's New modal covering all
changes since v2.2. Docker publish workflow default updated.
Sidebar improvements:
- Header stays pinned at top while nav and player scroll beneath it
- Media player collapses to compact single-line when no track is
playing, expands to full size when playback starts
Fixes:
- Server playlists endpoint Plex Tag object crash (getattr fix)
- Server playlists tab auto-refreshes after download completion
- Fixed dead code syntax error in archived version notes
M3U generator was calling .join() on an array of artist objects instead
of extracting .name first, producing "[object Object] - Track Name".
Now handles all artist formats: array of objects, array of strings,
single string, single object.
Also fix "name 'database' is not defined" error when updating album
year in post-processing — was using bare 'database' instead of
get_database() helper.
Plex API can return Tag objects mixed with playlists — these lack the
playlistType attribute, causing AttributeError. Use getattr with safe
default instead of direct attribute access.
Add 3-tier Unknown Artist guard in post-processing: checks track_info
artists, original search result, then re-fetches from metadata API
before building folder paths or embedding tags. Prevents files from
landing in Unknown Artist folders when the download context has
incomplete artist data.
- Stop active DB update work before tearing down executor pools.
- Short-circuit scan completion callbacks during shutdown so in-flight timer ticks don’t queue follow-up work.
- Prevent the download monitor from draining deferred/completed tasks after shutdown starts.
- Make listening stats startup stop-aware so it exits cleanly if teardown begins during warmup.
- If a metadata update is already running, it can now observe should_stop and exit cleanly instead of continuing after SIGTERM.
- Add interruptible stop events to background workers so shutdown
wakes out of long sleeps instead of waiting on fixed delays.
- Stop scan managers, repair worker, executors, and cleanup helpers
deterministically so process exit does not leave background threads
alive.
- Add startup warnings for stale SQLite WAL/SHM sidecars so unclean
shutdowns are easier to spot before init/migration errors cascade.
- Prevent forced kills from leaving SQLite sidecars behind, which
made rollbacks to older branches fail with malformed database
errors.
There's a lot side-effects happening at import-time (eg. client initialization etc.), some of which include meaningful logging as well (eg. migration-related logging in MusicDatabase client).
If we delay the logging initialization to the __main__ block, we'll lose out on these early logs
New sidebar page showing every download task across the app in a unified
live-updating list. Tracks from Sync, Discover, Artists, Search, and
Wishlist all appear in one place.
Features:
- Filter pills: All / Active / Queued / Completed / Failed
- Section headers grouping by status category
- Track position (3 of 19) for album/playlist batches
- Album art, artist/album metadata, batch context, error messages
- Status dots with accent glow for active, green for complete, red fail
- Clear Completed button removes terminal items from tracker
- Nav badge shows active download count from any page via WebSocket
Fixes artist [object Object] display — handles all format variations
(list of dicts, list of strings, dict, string) for artist and album
fields in the API response.
Serverless check (YouTube/HiFi/Qobuz) now runs before the slskd
connection test. Prevents 4-minute timeout hangs when Hybrid mode
includes both Soulseek and serverless sources but slskd isn't running.
Also reports green if any serverless source is in the hybrid order,
not just the first.
Wizard now shows automatically on fresh installs. Detection uses a
server-side flag (setup.completed) plus download_source.mode as a
fallback for existing users who configured settings before the wizard
existed. Config.json template defaults no longer fool the check.
Script load order fixed — setup-wizard.js loads before script.js so
openSetupWizard exists when DOMContentLoaded fires. Both finish and
skip paths set the server flag and localStorage, then continue app
initialization via callback.
7-step full-screen wizard: Welcome, Metadata Source, Download Source,
Paths & Media Server, Add Artists, First Download, Done. All settings
save to DB identically to the Settings page. Supports all 6 download
sources with inline config and test buttons. First download goes through
the full matched download pipeline with metadata context.
Fixes:
- Download clients (YouTube/HiFi/Tidal/Qobuz/Deezer) now reload
download_path when settings change instead of caching from init
- watchlist_artists table migrations now include deezer_artist_id and
discogs_artist_id in all 3 table rebuild locations (was being dropped)
- CREATE TABLE for watchlist_artists includes all provider ID columns
- Serverless download sources (YouTube/HiFi/Qobuz) show green status
instead of red disconnected on sidebar and dashboard
- Suppress repeated slskd 401 errors — logs once then silences until
connection recovers
