URL-driven routing (PR #644) no longer passes the display name as a query
param to the artist-detail endpoint. The source-only detail builder fell back
to artist_id when artist_name was empty, surfacing the raw MBID as the page
title for MusicBrainz artists.
Two fixes in build_source_only_artist_detail:
- Drop the artist_id fallback in resolved_name so an MBID can never become
the display name
- Add a musicbrainz elif branch (matching the Spotify/Deezer/iTunes pattern)
that calls MusicBrainzSearchClient.get_artist() to resolve the real name
and genres from the MBID when no name is provided
Artist detail pages previously always pushed /artist-detail to the URL,
so refreshing the page or sharing a link would drop users on a broken
empty page with no artist loaded.
URL format is now /artist-detail/:source/:id (e.g.
/artist-detail/spotify/4tZwfgrHOc3mvqsCAfo4LT or
/artist-detail/library/42). The source segment lets the backend
synthesize a response from the right metadata client without a DB hit.
Changes:
Client routing (legacy shell + TanStack bridge)
- buildArtistDetailPath / _getDeepLinkArtistDetail added to init.js;
parse both new :source/:id and legacy bare :id formats so old
bookmarks still work
- navigateToPage passes artistId + artistSource through to the router
bridge, which builds the dynamic href instead of hardcoding route.path
- resolveShellPageFromPath / resolveLegacyShellPageFromPath use a prefix
match so /artist-detail/* resolves to artist-detail page-id
- globals.d.ts typed for artistId / artistSource options
- activateLegacyPath and syncActivePageFromLocation (popstate) both
restore artist from URL using skipRouteChange:true to avoid a
re-navigation loop back to /artist-detail
- loadInitialData restores artist from URL on page load (router not yet
mounted at DOMContentLoaded so legacy path runs unconditionally)
- Same-artist guard in navigateToArtistDetail prevents double-fetch
when the router fires activateLegacyPath after the initial navigation
Server
- artist_source_detail.build_source_only_artist_detail now resolves
artist name from the source API when none is supplied, so deep-link
restores with an empty name string still render correctly
Tests
- test_spa_deep_linking: /artist-detail/42 and /artist-detail/spotify/ID
both serve index.html
- bridge.test.ts: source-aware URL building and library fallback
- route-manifest.test.ts: prefix path resolution
- artist_source_detail: name resolved from source when input is empty
- All search_raw calls switched from single-type to types="track,album" — T2Tunes only
returns results when both types are requested together
- _fetch_album_metas: parallel fetch (up to 5 workers) of album cover art via
album_metadata(asin) — T2Tunes search results carry no image URLs
- search_tracks: populates image_url, release_date, total_tracks from album meta
- search_artists: strips feat. credits via _primary_artist() so "Artist feat. X" and
"Artist ft. Y" collapse to one "Artist" entry; uses album cover as artist image
stand-in (same approach as iTunes — T2Tunes has no artist images)
- search_albums: name-based dedup (display_name + artist key) instead of ASIN-based;
populates image_url, release_date, total_tracks from album meta (cap 10 ASIN fetches)
- _strip_edition(): strips [Explicit]/(Explicit) from track/album names — explicit is
the default version; Clean/Edited/Censored labels kept as-is so they stay distinct
- get_album(): applies _strip_edition to name and _primary_artist to artist so
MusicBrainz preflight matching doesn't fail on "[Explicit]" album names
- get_album_tracks(): populates track_number and disc_number from T2TunesStreamInfo
instead of hardcoding None — fixes track ordering in multi-track album downloads
- get_artist() / get_artist_albums(): _unslugify() converts slug artist IDs back to
search names; _primary_artist() in comparison handles feat-annotated results
- SOURCE_ONLY_ARTIST_SOURCES: added "amazon" so artist detail page doesn't 404
- build_source_only_artist_detail: added amazon_client param + dispatch branch
- web_server.py: resolve amazon_client in _build_source_only_artist_detail wrapper;
add source_override=="amazon" branch in get_spotify_album_tracks endpoint
- 77 tests covering all above paths; all pass
Discord report: prolific artists (Bach, Beatles complete box,
deep dance/electronic catalogues) only showed ~50 entries in the
"Download Discography" modal.
`MetadataLookupOptions(limit=50, max_pages=0)` was hardcoded at
three call sites. Spotify's `max_pages=0` already paginates
through everything (per-page is clamped to 10 internally), so
Spotify-primary users were unaffected. But Deezer / iTunes /
Discogs / Hydrabase all honor the outer `limit` as a hard cap,
so non-Spotify users were silently clipped.
Bump `limit` to 200 at all three call sites — matches iTunes's
and Discogs's own internal caps and covers near-everyone's full
catalogue. Spotify behavior unchanged.
- web_server.py:9221 — discography endpoint (modal)
- web_server.py:8700 — artist-detail discography view
- core/artist_source_detail.py:129 — source-specific artist detail
- split metadata lookup logic into core/metadata/*
- keep core/metadata_service.py as the legacy barrel
- update tests and artist-detail code to patch concrete modules
JohnBaumb's review: "If we're going to refactor the web_server.py soon,
might as well start moving stuff away from web_server.py in our PRs.
_build_source_only_artist_detail, make it a module, it's perfect."
This continues the pattern the prior commit started with the source-ID
lookup helpers: move the pure data-building logic to a side-effect-free
core module, leave a thin wrapper in web_server.py that bridges the
Flask response and the module-global clients.
**core/artist_source_detail.py** — pure function that takes the artist id,
name, and source plus dependency-injected per-source clients (spotify,
deezer, itunes, discogs) and a Last.fm API key. Returns
(payload_dict, http_status) so it isn't coupled to Flask.
**web_server.py wrapper** — builds the client bag from the module globals
(checks Spotify auth, constructs the Discogs client from the configured
token, reads the Last.fm API key) and wraps the core return in jsonify.
147 lines of logic go away from web_server.py; the 24-line wrapper is
purely glue.
**tests/test_artist_source_detail.py** — 21 focused tests covering the
response envelope, the source-specific ID-field stamping for all six
supported sources, the dedup_variants=False contract (the behaviour
that originally motivated the split of MetadataLookupOptions), per-source
genre/follower extraction with safe handling of missing or throwing
clients, and the Last.fm enrichment branch including the no-key and
error-path cases. Runtime 0.26s.
