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.
Each step now explains what it does and how it connects to the rest of
SoulSync. Metadata step explains catalog vs download source. Download
step explains the search-match-download pipeline and Hybrid mode. Paths
step explains the two-folder system. Watchlist step explains Discover
page, scanner schedule, and per-artist filters. First Download step
explains the full tagging and organization pipeline. Done page adds a
2x3 tips grid covering Sync, Wishlist, Automations, Notifications,
Interactive Help, and Settings.
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
Profile creation was missing Listening Stats, Playlist Explorer, and
Issues from the page access checkboxes. Home page dropdown was missing
Stats, Playlist Explorer, and Help & Docs. Both admin and self-edit
pageLabels dicts updated to match.
Added _streamLock flag to startStream() that prevents concurrent stream
requests when the user clicks play multiple times before the first
request completes. Lock is released in finally block so it always
clears on success, error, or exception.
Previously, rapid clicks would fire multiple stream requests to the
backend, each creating a separate audio playback — the only way to
stop them was a browser force refresh.
Lidarr integration:
- New core/lidarr_download_client.py with full interface parity
(search, download, status, cancel — same as Qobuz/Tidal/HiFi)
- Registered in download orchestrator with source routing
- Settings: URL + API key on Downloads tab with connection test
- Available as standalone source or in Hybrid mode priority order
- API key encrypted at rest
- All streaming source checks updated to include 'lidarr'
Lidarr downloads full albums via Usenet/torrent — SoulSync imports
only the tracks it needs and discards the rest.
Music video path validation:
- Empty/unconfigured path returns clear error instead of silent failure
- Write permission test before starting download
- Default changed from './MusicVideos' to empty (must be configured)
- Moved _downloadMusicVideo to top-level scope so global search can use
it (was inside enhanced search conditional that only runs on downloads page)
- Global search video cards use base64 data attributes to avoid JSON
escaping issues in onclick handlers
- Darkened thumbnail overlay during download for better progress visibility
- Larger progress ring (52px) with accent-colored glow shadow
Click any video card in Music Videos tab to download. Flow:
1. Search primary metadata source for clean artist/title
2. Fall back to YouTube title parsing if no match
3. Download video via yt-dlp (best quality MP4)
4. Save to configured Music Videos folder as Artist/Title-video.mp4
UI shows circular progress ring on the thumbnail during download,
green checkmark on completion, red X on error (clickable to retry).
Cards are non-interactive while downloading.
Backend: /api/music-video/download and /api/music-video/status endpoints
YouTube client: download_music_video() method keeps video format
New "Music Videos" pill tab alongside Spotify/Deezer/iTunes/Discogs
in both enhanced search and global search. Searches YouTube via yt-dlp
and displays results in a video card grid with 16:9 thumbnails, play
overlay, duration badge, channel name, and view count.
- Backend: /api/enhanced-search/source/youtube_videos endpoint with
search_videos() method on YouTubeClient returning YouTubeSearchResult
- Frontend: Video grid layout with responsive cards, YouTube red tab
color, proper section hiding when switching between metadata and
video tabs
- Global search: Full parity with enhanced search video rendering
- No download functionality yet — display only
New configurable path for storing music videos separately from audio
files, following Plex's global music video folder convention.
- Settings: library.music_videos_path (default: ./MusicVideos)
- UI: Music Videos Dir field on Settings Downloads tab with lock/unlock
- Docker: /app/MusicVideos volume mount in Dockerfile and docker-compose
- Added 'library' to settings save whitelist (was missing — music_paths
also wasn't persisting through main settings save)
- No download functionality yet — path infrastructure only
When a playlist sync has unmatched tracks sent to wishlist, the
completion toast now shows the specific track names instead of just
a count. Uses warning style so it stands out. The unmatched track
list is included in the sync state result so it's available for
both live status polling and notification history.
Addresses #272 — silent sync failures where users couldn't tell
which tracks out of 150+ failed to match their Plex library.
New toggle in Settings > Appearance disables backdrop blur (220
instances), animations (238), transitions (961), and box shadows
(804) across the entire UI via a single body class. Significantly
reduces GPU/CPU usage on low-end devices. Default off — no change
for existing users. Applied from localStorage on load to prevent
flash.
Duplicate finding detail now shows each version as clickable — user
can choose which to keep instead of relying on auto-selection. Added
track_number as tiebreaker in auto-pick (higher track number wins
over 01, catching leftover duplicates from the playlist sync track
number bug). Track number displayed in the detail view for clarity.
New automation action that executes user scripts from a dedicated
scripts/ directory. Available as both a DO action and THEN action.
Scripts are selected from a dropdown populated by /api/scripts.
Security: only scripts in the scripts dir can run, path traversal
blocked, no shell=True, stdout/stderr capped, configurable timeout
(max 300s). Scripts receive SOULSYNC_EVENT, SOULSYNC_AUTOMATION,
and SOULSYNC_SCRIPTS_DIR environment variables.
Includes Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml changes for the scripts
volume mount, and three example scripts (hello_world.sh,
system_info.py, notify_ntfy.sh).
Sidebar media player now shows the SoulSync logo instead of a broken
image icon when no album art is available or when no track is playing.
Default src, onerror fallback, and clear-player paths all use
/static/trans2.png.
After a successful playlist sync, if the source playlist has cover
art (Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, etc.), the image is downloaded and
uploaded as the playlist poster on the media server. Plex uses
uploadPoster(), Jellyfin/Emby uses POST /Items/{id}/Images/Primary.
Navidrome skipped (no playlist image API). Failure is silent — sync
result unchanged. Automation-triggered syncs and playlists without
images are unaffected.
Sync rehydration: after loading Deezer ARL playlists, checks each
for active syncs via /api/sync/status and re-attaches polling with
live card updates. Download rehydration: rehydrateModal now handles
deezer_arl_ playlist IDs, and openDownloadMissingModal routes cache
misses to the correct ARL endpoint. Fix All now prompts for dead
file action.
Album data caching: get_playlist_tracks now checks the metadata
cache before fetching album release dates from the Deezer API.
Cache hits are instant, misses are fetched and stored for future
use across all playlists. Import fixed from core.metadata_cache
instead of web_server to avoid circular dependency.
Dead file fix now prompts with two options: Re-download (existing
behavior — adds to wishlist + deletes DB entry) or Remove from DB
(just deletes the dead track record without re-downloading). Works
for both single and bulk fix. Solves the issue where dismissing
dead files didn't remove the underlying track record, causing them
to reappear on every scan.
What's New: Added Deezer user playlists, Qobuz token auth, streaming
source artist gate, download history provenance, and comprehensive
fixes section covering artist name casing, future album skip, track
number fix, Emby sync, discovery fix fallback, and all new settings.
Help docs: Updated Qobuz auth to mention token option, added Music
Library Paths, Replace Lower Quality, and HiFi Instance Health to
Other Settings section.
New setting in Settings > Library lets users add folder paths where
their music files live. The file resolver checks these paths when
looking for library files, solving Docker path mismatches and multi-
folder libraries. Required for tag writing, streaming, and orphan
detection when the media server reports paths that differ from what
SoulSync can see. Docker users mount their music folder(s) with
read-write access and add the container-side path. Default is empty
— existing users see no change.
New toggle in Settings > Library: "Replace lower quality files on
import". When enabled, if a track already exists in the library at
a lower quality tier (e.g. MP3) and a higher quality version (e.g.
FLAC) is imported from staging, the existing file is replaced.
Comparison uses the existing QUALITY_TIERS system (lossless > opus/
ogg > m4a > mp3). When disabled (default), existing behavior is
unchanged — existing tracks are always kept. Also applies to regular
downloads that land on an existing file.
Discovery fix modal now tries the user's active metadata source
first, then falls back through all available sources (Spotify,
Deezer, iTunes) in sequence. Previously hardcoded Spotify with no
fallback, leaving users without Spotify stuck on "Searching...".
New /api/deezer/search_tracks endpoint exposes the existing
DeezerClient.search_tracks() method for the fix modal. Same
request/response format as Spotify and iTunes endpoints.
Qobuz added reCAPTCHA to their login endpoint, blocking automated
email/password auth for new users. Token login lets users paste
their X-User-Auth-Token from the browser DevTools after logging in
manually. Added to both Connections and Downloads tabs with
instructions. Existing email/password flow completely unchanged.
Backend validates token via user/get API and saves the session
identically to email/password login.
New "Check All Instances" button in Settings > Downloads > HiFi
shows each configured instance with color-coded status: green for
fully working (can download), orange for search-only (downloads
fail), red for offline/SSL error/timeout. Helps users understand
why HiFi downloads aren't working when community instances go down.
ARL field now appears on both Connections tab (under Deezer OAuth)
and Downloads tab. Both fields are populated from the same config
key and synced bidirectionally via input listeners. Editing either
field instantly updates the other.
New "Deezer" tab on sync page shows authenticated user's playlists,
identical to the Spotify tab pattern — same card layout, details
modal with track list, sync button, and download missing tracks
flow. Existing URL import renamed to "Deezer Link" tab (unchanged).
Backend: get_user_playlists() and get_playlist_tracks() on the
download client fetch via public API with ARL session cookies.
Album release dates batch-fetched for $year template variable.
Three new endpoints: arl-status, arl-playlists, arl-playlist/<id>.
Frontend: cards use Spotify-identical HTML structure with live sync
status, progress indicators, and View Progress/Results buttons.
Downloads reuse openDownloadMissingModal with zero modifications.
Track data cached on first open, instant on subsequent clicks.
Library page: new dropdown filter to show artists matched or unmatched
to any metadata source (Spotify, MusicBrainz, Deezer, Discogs, etc).
Select "No Discogs" to find artists needing manual Discogs matching.
Filter applied as WHERE clause on the source ID columns.
Discogs enrichment: added to valid_services whitelist, _enrichment_locks,
and _run_single_enrichment handler. The Enrich button was returning an
error when Discogs was selected from the dropdown.
Settings > Advanced now shows database size, free pages, and auto-
vacuum mode. Two actions: Compact Database (full VACUUM to reclaim
dead space) and Enable Incremental Vacuum (one-time setup for
automatic page reclamation). Both have confirmation dialogs warning
about lock time on large databases. Info refreshes on Advanced tab
switch and after each operation.
SQLite CURRENT_TIMESTAMP stores UTC but the format lacks a timezone
marker. JavaScript parsed it as local time, causing future-dated
timestamps and negative diffs that always fell into 'Just now'.
Normalize by appending 'Z' to mark as UTC before parsing.
Streaming matching: add artist gate rejecting candidates with artist
similarity below 0.4, raise threshold to 0.60, block fallback to
Soulseek filename matcher for Tidal/Qobuz/HiFi/Deezer. Fix single-
char artist containment bug where normalize_string strips non-ASCII
(e.g. "B小町" → "b") causing "b" to match any artist containing
that letter. Fixed in both score_track_match and the Soulseek scorer.
YouTube and Soulseek matching behavior unchanged.
Global search: add registerSearchDownload() calls to _gsClickAlbum
and _gsClickTrack so downloads create bubble snapshots on dashboard
and search page, matching the enhanced search standard.
Global search escaping: add _escAttr() helper to handle newlines in
album/artist names that broke inline onclick string literals.
Entries are now compact cards that expand on click to reveal source
details. Shows expected vs downloaded title/artist with red mismatch
highlighting. Source artist column added to DB. Streaming track IDs
extracted from the id||name filename pattern. File and ID always on
their own line to avoid edge-case misplacement.
Track original source filename, track ID, and AcoustID verification
result for every download. Helps debug wrong-file downloads from
streaming sources like Tidal. Each column migrated independently
for crash safety. Frontend shows source detail line and color-coded
AcoustID badge per entry. Button renamed to "Download History".
Visual overhaul of the API Configuration section: each service frame
is now a collapsible accordion with brand-colored dots, chevron
indicators, and smooth expand/collapse animations. Includes an
Expand All / Collapse All toggle. No functional changes — all element
IDs, save/load logic, and tab switching preserved.
- search_artists() now filters by active media server — no more duplicate
results from Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome showing the same artist 3 times
- Per-artist Sync button re-fetches artist name from media server, catches
renames (e.g., Plex changing "Kendrick Lamar" to "eastside k-boy")
- Global search track click opens download modal directly instead of
navigating to enhanced search page (matches enhanced search behavior)
Reversed the flow: user now sees "Move to Staging" vs "Delete" choice
first, instead of the scary "permanently delete N files" dialog. Staging
gets a friendly confirmation. Delete ≤50 gets standard confirm. Delete
>50 still requires witness-me safety gate. Updated prompt text to
clarify staging is safe and reversible. (#252)
New download_source column on library_history table records which source
(Soulseek, Tidal, Qobuz, HiFi, YouTube, Deezer) each track was downloaded
from. Extracted from context username during post-processing.
Frontend shows source badge alongside quality badge on each download entry.
Source breakdown bar below tabs shows per-source totals with color-coded
chips (e.g., "Soulseek: 847 | Tidal: 203"). Includes DB migration for
existing installs. Existing entries show quality only (source is NULL).
Replaced single "Change" button with per-source rows showing match
status for each provider (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Discogs).
Each row has Fix/Match button that searches that specific source API,
plus clear button to remove individual matches.
- Per-source search uses _search_service (same as enrichment modal)
- Backend: added Discogs to valid providers, empty ID clears match
- Fixed provider validation to accept 'discogs' alongside others
- Clear sets DB column to NULL instead of rejecting empty string
Initial load fetches 200 tracks instead of all. "Load More" button at
bottom shows (200 of 5,000) and loads next batch on click. Backend now
returns total count alongside limited results for both album and singles
categories. Rendering logic unchanged — just operates on smaller sets.
Playlist Pipeline — single automation that runs the full playlist lifecycle:
refresh → discover → sync → download missing. Replaces 4-automation signal
chains. Phase-aware progress display (Phase 1/4, 2/4, etc.), guard function
prevents concurrent runs, fire-and-forget wishlist at end. Re-sync loop
catches newly downloaded tracks on next scheduled run.
- New action type 'playlist_pipeline' with handler, blocks endpoint config,
builder UI (playlist select, process all, skip wishlist checkboxes),
help modal, result display map, and Hub template
- Removed 3 redundant Hub templates (Release Radar, Discovery Weekly,
Playlist Auto-Sync) — all replaced by the pipeline
- Fixed sync completion polling (status is 'finished' not 'complete')
- Fixed refresh handler progress hijack (null out _automation_id)
- Fixed matched_tracks field access from sync_states result
Also in this commit:
- Wishlist badges on enhanced search and global search tracks (amber)
- Discogs added to manual enrichment modal search + artist/album dropdowns
- Profile PIN forgot recovery on profile selection dialog
Watchlist map nodes used w.get('key', '') which returns None when the
DB column is NULL (key exists with None value). None serialized to JSON
null, which is falsy in JS, causing 'No source ID' throw for every
artist click.
- Changed to `w.get('key') or ''` for all ID fields (coerces None→'')
- Added discogs_id to watchlist nodes (was missing entirely)
- Removed hard throw when no source ID — falls back to name-based lookup
- Added console.error logging for future diagnosis
