noldevin: a magnet stuck "downloading metadata" ran 11h despite a 15-min stall
timeout, got cleared from SoulSync but left active in qbit, then re-grabbed as a
duplicate. Two bugs:
1. Stall never fired on metaDL. StallTracker reset its clock on any `downloaded`
byte increase, but a metaDL torrent's byte counter still ticks up from DHT/peer
protocol overhead while making no real progress — so the clock reset forever.
Fix: the byte counter only counts once metadata is in (size>0). During the
metadata phase (size==0) the only thing that counts as progress is *obtaining*
metadata, so a magnet that can't even do that within the timeout is correctly
flagged stalled. size=None preserves the old byte-only behavior (back-compat).
2. Orphaned in qbit. The monitor's stall exit removed the torrent, but the `error`
exit and the 6h deadline exit only marked the download failed — leaving the
torrent active in qbit, untracked here, so SoulSync re-grabbed the same dead
torrent (qbit logs the duplicate-add). Fix: both terminal exits now run
_cleanup_torrent (shared with the stall path), which removes+deletes (abandon)
or pauses per the stall action — nothing is left orphaned.
Tests (10 new): metaDL byte-noise no longer resets the clock (stalls at timeout);
obtaining metadata resets it; real byte-progress still tracked after metadata;
_cleanup_torrent removes+delete_files on abandon / pauses on pause / no-ops on
empty hash or no adapter / swallows a client error. 151 torrent tests green.
noldevin's first torrent was stuck "downloading metadata" — a dead magnet
with no peers. The poll loop would ride the full album deadline (6h default)
on it, holding the worker the whole time, with no built-in escape.
New stall handling, off the existing poll loop:
- core/download_plugins/torrent_stall.py — pure StallTracker (clock injected,
no I/O): forward byte progress resets a stall clock; once a torrent spends
the stall timeout in a working state (queued/downloading/stalled/error)
with zero progress, it's stalled. seeding/completed/paused never count.
Covers the metadata-stuck case (0 bytes, 0 progress) and a dead mid-download
swarm with one rule.
- _handle_stalled: 'abandon' (default) removes the torrent + its partial data
(a metadata stub is junk) and fails the download so the next source can try;
'pause' parks it in the client for the user. Adapter errors are swallowed —
the download still fails cleanly.
- two settings (download_source.torrent_stall_timeout_seconds = 600,
torrent_stall_action = 'abandon'); timeout 0 disables, restoring the old
ride-the-deadline behavior. Config-key driven, matching the existing
album_bundle_* tuning knobs (no UI form, same as those).
Tests: 18 on the tracker + settings (timeout trip, progress reset, idle-state
exemption, pause→resume clock restart, disable, parse tolerance) + 3 on the
plugin action path (abandon removes w/ delete_files, pause pauses, adapter
error survived). 158 torrent-family tests pass.
The album-bundle path COPIES slskd's completed files into private staging (then
on to the library) but never removed slskd's originals, so they piled up in the
download folder. (copy, not move, is correct for the torrent/usenet bundle paths
— those clients keep seeding — so the shared copier can't just always delete.)
Add an opt-in remove_source to copy_audio_files_atomically that deletes each
source ONLY after it copies successfully (never on a failed stage), and set it
for the Soulseek path only. Torrent/usenet keep their originals.
Tests: keeps source by default / removes when requested / keeps on failed copy.
A torrent-first (or usenet-first) hybrid download would freeze at
"Torrent searching for release 0%" and never move to the next source when
Prowlarr returned no results for the album. Reported by Cezar:
[Album Bundle] torrent flow failed for '...': No torrent results found
Cause: the album-bundle dispatch only returns to the per-track flow (which,
in hybrid mode, tries the next configured source) when the plugin's failure
outcome carries fallback=True; otherwise it marks the batch failed and stops.
Both plugins set fallback=True on their 'results found but none matched the
album' branch, but the adjacent 'no results at all' branch set only an error
and no fallback flag -- so zero results hard-failed while wrong results fell
back. Backwards, and soulseek's plugin already defaults fallback=True for
exactly this reason.
Fix: set fallback=True on the no-results branch in torrent.py and usenet.py.
The dispatch's fallback handling (return False -> per-track flow) was already
correct and is unchanged.
The only consumer of download_album_to_staging is the dispatch, which reads
the result via .get('fallback'), so the change is additive and locally
contained.
Tests: new test_torrent_album_to_staging_no_results_flags_fallback and
test_usenet_album_to_staging_no_results_flags_fallback assert the plugins now
emit fallback=True on an empty search; the existing torrent no-results test is
extended with the same assertion. Existing dispatch tests already pin
fallback=True -> per-track flow. Full downloads/plugins/adapters sweep: 690
passed.
Compared my #730 fix against contributor PR #731 (same independent design).
Grafted their good idea — a confidence bonus when the album's full core phrase
appears intact in the release title (rescues long multi-word names whose token
coverage gets diluted) — and kept my accent-folding, which #731 lacks (their
normalize drops accented chars: Bjork -> 'bj rk').
IMPORTANT: implemented the phrase bonus WORD-BOUNDARY anchored, not as a raw
substring. My first cut used 'phrase in norm_title' (matching #731) and it
immediately reintroduced the substring bug #730 exists to fix — 'heroes'
matched 'superheroes' and the wrong album scored 0.9/passed. PR #731 has this
latent flaw. The regex anchors the phrase to word boundaries so the bonus
fires for real matches only.
Verified: substring trap (Superheroes/Scary Monsters) rejected; edition
suffixes + intact-phrase albums kept. +1 phrase-bonus test (incl. the
word-boundary guard). 126 plugin tests pass; ruff clean.

Review caught that artist_name was added to pick_best_album_release's signature
and threaded through both call sites but never actually used — dead, misleading
code. Removed it from the helper + both callers. Artist-aware gating would be a
deliberate future feature (titles carry the artist inconsistently, so a hard
artist gate would risk the same false-negative class I just fixed); the album
relevance gate already resolves the reported wrong-release bug. No behavior
change. 127 plugin tests pass; compile + ruff clean.
Self-review found a false-negative in the title-relevance gate I just added:
it scored 'fraction of the ALBUM-NAME's words present in the title', so a
stored album name with an edition/remaster suffix the torrent lacks
('Currents (Deluxe)', 'Heroes (2017 Remaster)') scored BELOW the 0.6 floor and
the correct release was wrongly refused -> fell back to per-track. The very
first issue example ('Heroes 2017 Remaster') would have regressed.
Fix: strip edition/format/year NOISE words (deluxe, remaster, edition, flac,
years, bitrates, ...) before scoring, via _significant_words(), with a fallback
to the raw words so an album literally named '1989' or 'Deluxe' isn't emptied
to match-everything. Verified both directions: edition suffixes now KEPT, while
the wrong-album rejection (Scary Monsters for a Heroes request, Superheroes)
still scores 0.
Tests: +2 regression tests (edition-suffix kept; noise/number-only album name).
125 album-bundle/dispatch/plugin tests pass; compile + ruff clean.
Reporter (IamGroot60): requesting an album via a Prowlarr-backed source
(Usenet/Torrent) could download a DIFFERENT album — e.g. asking for Bowie's
'Heroes' downloaded 'Scary Monsters' because the picker ranked purely by
seeders/grabs -> quality -> size with NO title check, and the wrong album had
~16x the grabs. (Confirmed the old picker chose the wrong release on exactly
this scenario.)
Fix (the reporter's proposal):
- album_title_relevance(candidate_title, album_name): word-coverage match,
accent-folded (Bjork != bj rk) and WORD-BOUNDARY (Heroes != Superheroes), so
a wrong album that shares no title words scores 0.
- pick_best_album_release gains album_name/artist_name params and a relevance
gate (floor 0.6) applied BEFORE the seeders/quality/size ranking. When
album_name is given and NOTHING clears the floor, returns None.
- torrent.py + usenet.py call sites pass album_name/artist_name and set
result['fallback'] = True on None, so the dispatcher (source-agnostic
fallback routing) hands off to the per-track flow instead of grabbing a
wrong album. Matches what Soulseek already did via its preflight scorer.
No album_name -> no gating (old behavior preserved for callers without a
title). Tests: 9 new in test_album_bundle.py (relevance math incl. the
substring trap + accent fold, the exact Bowie refuse-and-fallback scenario,
None-when-no-match, and no-gate-without-name). 125 album-bundle/dispatch/plugin
tests pass; compile + ruff clean.
Follow-up to the poll fix, covering the two things that blocked a
successful end-to-end album import once the poll itself stopped
freezing:
1. Staging dir permissions
The album-bundle private staging path defaults to
'storage/album_bundle_staging' -> /app/storage, but /app/storage was
never created or chowned by the image (unlike /app/Staging,
/app/Transfer, etc.), and /app is root-owned. The copy failed with
"[Errno 13] Permission denied: 'storage'" under the non-root soulsync
UID. Added /app/storage to the Dockerfile build-time mkdir+chown and
the entrypoint PUID/PGID chown, exactly like the sibling runtime dirs.
2. Client->local path resolution
Usenet/torrent clients report save paths from inside THEIR OWN
container (e.g. SAB '/data/downloads/music/<album>'); SoulSync often
mounts the same files at a different point ('/app/downloads/<album>').
Feeding the client path straight to the audio walker yields
"No audio files found" though the files are physically present.
New resolve_reported_save_path():
a. use the reported path as-is if readable (mirrored mounts),
b. apply explicit download_source.usenet_path_mappings
({from,to}, Sonarr/Radarr-style) for non-shared layouts,
c. basename fallback under SoulSync's own download roots —
zero-config for the standard shared-volume arr setup.
Wired into both call sites in usenet.py AND torrent.py
(download_album_to_staging + _finalize_download), logging any
translation and including the resolved path in the no-audio error.
Tests: resolver verbatim / explicit-mapping / basename-fallback /
priority / not-found / empty / mapping-miss-then-basename. ruff +
compileall + pytest green (645 in the download suites).

The earlier #721 fix tolerated a ~10s "completed but no save_path"
window, but the real production stall sits upstream of that: SABnzbd
removes a finished download from the queue and runs par2 verify /
repair / unpack *in History*, exposing the live stage in the slot
`status` ('Verifying' / 'Repairing' / 'Extracting' / 'Moving' / ...)
with `storage` empty until the final move. `_parse_history_slot` mapped
EVERY non-'Failed' status to 'completed', so a still-extracting 1.7 GB
FLAC album looked "completed with no save_path" the instant download hit
100%. The poll burned its completed-no-path budget mid-PP and bailed,
freezing the UI on the last download emit (the stuck-at-99%/100%
signature). SAB then finished fine — which is why the job shows
Completed in History but SoulSync never staged it.
Root fix
- `_parse_history_slot` routes `status` through `_map_state`, so PP
stages stay NON-terminal: the poll keeps waiting (as 'downloading')
for as long as post-processing takes and only a real 'Completed'
flips to terminal success. `save_path` is trusted only on true
completion (mid-PP path fields may point at the incomplete dir).
Supporting / defensive
- `UsenetStatus.incomplete_path`: surfaced separately from save_path
(SAB `incomplete_path`) and used by the poll loops as a LAST RESORT
after the completed-no-path window, to recover the case where
`storage` never lands but the files are physically on disk.
- `poll_album_download`: dedicated, configurable completed-no-path
window (~120s via `download_source.album_bundle_completed_no_path_seconds`)
decoupled from the ~10s transient-miss window; incomplete_path
fallback; a 30s heartbeat log so the previously-silent poll loop is
diagnosable.
- `usenet.py` `_download_thread`: per-track parity — it was erroring
immediately on the first completed-no-path read.
- `album_bundle_dispatch.py` / `status.py` / `monitor.py`: use the
project `get_logger` so download-flow logs land in app.log under the
`soulsync.*` namespace (they were console-only before, which hid the
`[Album Bundle] flow failed` line during triage).
Tests
- PP-history state mapping; end-to-end Hunky Dory PP regression
(download -> Verifying/Extracting in History past both budgets ->
Completed+storage -> success); completed-no-path window +
incomplete_path fallback; per-track thread parity. ruff + compileall +
pytest all green (the only local failures are environmental: missing
tzdata + local tools/ffmpeg.exe, neither present on CI).

Follow-up to the 2.6.3 queue→history handoff fix (#706). User
@IamGroot60 reported in #721 that on 2.6.3 the bundle still gets
stuck mid-flight: SoulSync UI sits on "Usenet downloading release
61%" forever, SAB History shows the job as Completed 2+ minutes
ago, files are physically present in the slskd downloads folder
but never copied into ``storage/album_bundle_staging/<batch>/``.
Root cause: a second-stage gap in the SAB pipeline. SAB flips a
job's ``status`` to ``Completed`` in History as soon as par2 +
unrar finish, but its post-processing pipeline writes the final
``storage`` field a few seconds LATER (the move-to-final step).
``poll_album_download`` saw the first ``Completed`` read with
``save_path=None`` and bailed:
if status.state in complete_states:
return last_save_path # ← None at this point
``download_album_to_staging`` got ``save_path=None``, set
``result['error']`` and returned. The bundle was marked failed but
the LAST progress emit before the failure was ``downloading
progress=0.61``, so the UI froze on "61%" — the terminal ``failed``
emit never registered on the user's screen because the renderer
holds the last-known progress.
Fix
- ``poll_album_download`` now tracks a separate transient counter
for "complete state seen, save_path not yet set." Up to
``transient_miss_threshold`` (default 5) consecutive reads in
that state are tolerated before the poll bails. SAB writes the
``storage`` field within 2-10 seconds of the History flip in
practice — the default 5 × 2s = 10s window covers it.
- When save_path eventually lands, return it normally.
- When the threshold is exhausted with save_path still empty,
emit terminal ``failed`` with an explicit message pointing at
the missing save_path field — no more 6-hour silent spin.
- Earlier ``downloading`` reads with a non-empty ``save_path``
(qBit / Transmission set this from the start of the download)
remain "sticky" — if the eventual ``completed`` read has empty
save_path, the cached one applies. So torrent flows aren't
affected by the retry path.
SAB adapter (``_parse_history_slot``)
- Widened the save_path field fallback chain:
storage → path → download_path → dirname → incomplete_path
Covers SAB version differences (older builds populated ``path``)
and forks that expose ``download_path`` or ``dirname``.
``incomplete_path`` is the last resort — SAB's in-progress dir
before the final move — so the bundle plugin at least has a
path to scan when nothing else lands.
- Whitespace-only values are skipped.
- Loud debug log when none of the known fields land — users on
SAB versions / forks with novel field names need to see this in
logs so we can grow ``_HISTORY_SAVE_PATH_KEYS``.
Tests
- ``test_album_bundle.py`` (3 new):
- tolerates_completed_with_late_save_path_arrival — the #721
scenario; first Completed read has no save_path, third has
it; poll returns the path normally
- gives_up_when_completed_with_no_save_path_persists — past
the threshold the poll fails loudly instead of silent-spinning
- uses_save_path_from_earlier_downloading_emit_if_completed_lacks_one
— sticky save_path keeps torrent flows working
- ``test_usenet_client_adapters.py`` (6 new):
- falls back to ``path`` when ``storage`` empty
- falls back to ``download_path``
- prefers ``storage`` when multiple fields present
- returns ``None`` when all fields empty (the #721 gap window)
- ignores whitespace-only values
- uses ``incomplete_path`` as last resort
132 album-bundle + usenet tests pass.
Branch is on dev parented at 2.6.3 — user @IamGroot60 offered
to test on dev, so this is a candidate cherry-pick for either
a 2.6.4 hotfix or merge straight into dev for the next release.
Follow-up to f13d3395. Five gaps called out on self-review:
1. Per-track inline transient tolerance was duplicated between
usenet.py and torrent.py (~12 lines each, identical) and wasn't
directly tested. Extracted into ``TransientMissCounter`` in
``album_bundle.py`` — small class with ``record_miss()`` returning
True at threshold and ``reset()`` for successful reads. Both
per-track flows AND the lifted ``poll_album_download`` now use
the same counter, so the rule is in one place.
2. Threshold is now config-driven via
``download_source.album_bundle_transient_miss_threshold``
(default 5). Same defensive pattern as ``get_poll_interval`` /
``get_poll_timeout`` — non-positive / non-numeric falls back to
the default. Users with very slow servers (huge multi-disc box
sets, slow disks) can extend the tolerance window without
touching code.
3. SAB state map verified against the canonical Status enum in
``sabnzbd/constants.py`` (sabnzbd/constants.py:~95-118). Dropped
six entries I'd guessed at and couldn't verify in source
(``trying``, ``prop_paused``, ``prop_failed``, ``unpacking``,
``pp``, ``postprocessing``). Kept the verified ``deleted`` (lower-
cased from SAB's ``Deleted``) and added the one real state I'd
missed: ``Propagating`` (SAB's pre-download delay state — maps to
``queued`` since we're waiting on the NZB to be available, not
actively downloading).
4. SAB integration test exercising the queue→history gap end-to-end
through the real adapter HTTP layer. Mocks SAB's queue + history
endpoints with the exact response shapes SAB emits, runs three
gap polls (both endpoints empty), then a recovery poll where the
slot appears in history as Completed. Confirms the TransientMissCounter
absorbs the gap and ``poll_album_download`` returns the save_path
without emitting terminal failure. This was the path I had only
tested at the helper layer before — now pinned end-to-end through
the adapter.
5. SAB state mapping has new tests: every Status value from SAB's
canonical enum must map to a known adapter state (not the 'error'
default fallback), Propagating routes to queued, Deleted routes
to failed. Future SAB state additions that we miss will surface
as 'error' default → transient-miss tolerance → terminal failure
with a clear log line, but the explicit assertion list here means
we'll catch the omission in CI before users do.
Test count after: 537 download-suite tests pass; 21 new
(``TransientMissCounter`` ×4, ``get_transient_miss_threshold`` ×3,
SAB state-coverage ×3, SAB direct ``nzo_ids`` lookup ×5, SAB
queue→history integration ×1, plus the existing helper-layer
coverage from the parent commit). Ruff clean.
User reported usenet album downloads getting stuck on "downloading
release" while SABnzbd reported the job as complete. Container restart
did not help; reproducible on every usenet album download.
Three independent issues all causing the same symptom — the download
modal freezes mid-flow with no error surfaced to the user:
1. SAB queue → history transition window
SAB removes a slot from its queue BEFORE adding it to the history,
and on a busy server (par2 verify, unrar, multi-file move) that
window can span several poll iterations. The poll treated a single
None status as terminal failure ("disappeared from client") and
gave up. Now the poll tolerates up to ~10s of consecutive misses
(5 polls at the default 2s interval) before declaring the job gone.
2. SAB queue states like `Pp` were unmapped
`_SAB_QUEUE_STATE_MAP` didn't cover SAB's `Pp` (post-processing
summary), `Unpacking`, `Trying`, `Deleted`, or the `Prop_paused`
/ `Prop_failed` variants. Unmapped states fell through to the
default-'error' fallback, and the poll loop only treated explicit
'failed' / 'completed' as terminal — 'error' was neither, so the
loop spun until the 6-hour timeout. Map now covers every Status
value from SAB's `sabnzbd/api.py`, and the poll treats the default-
'error' fallback as a transient miss (warn-logged, retry within
the same tolerance window) so a brand-new unmapped state can't
infinite-loop the way `Pp` did here.
3. No terminal failure emit
The poll only logged on failure / timeout / disappeared — never
called the progress callback with 'failed', so the download modal
stayed at the last 'downloading' emit forever. Plumb a 'failed'
emit through every failure exit path so the UI flips out of the
downloading state when the poll gives up.
Plus:
4. SAB direct nzo_ids lookup instead of paging all-history
`_get_status_sync` was fetching the latest 50 history entries on
every poll and iterating to find the target nzo_id. On busy
servers (many recent downloads), the target job could roll past
the 50-entry window and look like a "disappeared" job. Replaced
with a targeted `mode=queue&nzo_ids=<id>` → `mode=history&nzo_ids=<id>`
chain. Falls back to the bulk path for SAB versions that pre-date
the nzo_ids filter — the transient-miss tolerance covers any
short-lived gap there too.
Implementation:
Lifted the album-bundle poll loop out of `usenet.py` and `torrent.py`
into `core/download_plugins/album_bundle.py:poll_album_download` —
near-duplicate implementations are now a single function with deps
injected so it's testable in isolation (kettui's extract-don't-AST-parse
standard; can't unit-test a `time.sleep` loop inside a plugin method).
The lifted helper takes:
- `get_status` callable bound to job_id, so the same loop works for
usenet UsenetStatus and torrent TorrentStatus shapes
- `complete_states` set so torrent's `{'seeding', 'completed'}` and
usenet's `{'completed'}` both Just Work
- `failed_states` set so torrent's `{'error'}` is terminal while
usenet's default-'error' fallback is transient
- `transient_miss_threshold` (default 5 ≈ 10s at 2s poll)
- `sleep` / `monotonic` injectables for deterministic tests
Per-track flows in both plugins gained the same transient-miss
tolerance inline — they don't use the emit pattern (update an
`active_downloads[id]` row dict via lock instead), so reusing the
helper would have required threading a no-op emit through. Inline
fix is small enough.
Tests:
- 11 new tests in `tests/test_album_bundle.py:poll_album_download`
cover the happy path, transient-miss tolerance with recovery,
hard-failure threshold, explicit-failed surface, timeout-emit,
default-'error' transient treatment, shutdown clean exit,
torrent's `seeding`-counts-as-complete, save_path captured across
iterations, and adapter-exception treated as transient miss.
- 521 download-suite tests pass (33 in test_album_bundle, others
pin existing torrent + usenet contracts).
- Ruff clean.
Closes#706.
Adds torrent/usenet as release-oriented download sources with album-bundle staging, live progress reporting, and post-processing that selects the requested audio file from completed releases instead of blindly importing the first file.
Keeps album-bundle behavior gated to single-source torrent/usenet album downloads, excludes release sources from hybrid album per-track searches, and allows hybrid non-album tracks to use release results safely.
Improves staged-release matching for featured/bonus track filenames while preserving version mismatches, records torrent/usenet provenance in library history, and updates service/status UI labels.
Covers the flow with focused lifecycle, status, staging, validation, task worker, post-processing, and import side-effect tests.
Route torrent and Usenet album bundles through private per-batch staging so Auto-Import cannot race public staging or duplicate imports.
Expose album-bundle progress in batch status and render it on the Downloads page while the external client is still downloading.
Tighten release handoff safety by rejecting archive path traversal, ignoring torrent candidates without a usable URL, and skipping Soulseek source reuse for torrent/Usenet batches.
Tests: .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/downloads/test_downloads_status.py tests/test_album_bundle_dispatch.py tests/downloads/test_downloads_staging.py tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py
Per code review: the album-bundle helpers (release picker + staging
collision suffix) were defined as private symbols in torrent.py and
imported by usenet.py through ``from core.download_plugins.torrent
import _pick_best_album_release, _unique_staging_path``. Sibling
plugins shouldn't reach into each other's private surface — leaky
module boundary, and the underscore prefix says don't import.
Also addressed two latent issues at the same time:
- The Auto-Import sweep race: my plugin copied audio files into
staging via plain ``shutil.copy2``, which exposes a partial file
at the audio extension for the duration of the copy. The Auto-
Import worker filters by audio extension when scanning Staging
(AUDIO_EXTENSIONS in core/auto_import_worker.py), so a mid-flight
scan could pick up a truncated file. Fix: copy to a
``.tmp.<random>`` sidecar first, then atomically rename via
``Path.replace`` (which is ``os.replace`` — atomic on the same
filesystem). Auto-Import sees the file either at its final name
or not at all.
- The 6-hour poll timeout was a hard-coded magic constant. Users
with slow private trackers or large box sets would silently time
out after 6h. Both the timeout and the poll interval are now
read from config (``download_source.album_bundle_timeout_seconds``
/ ``..._poll_interval_seconds``) with safe fallback to the
existing defaults when unset / non-numeric.
- core/download_plugins/album_bundle.py: new module owns the
shared surface — ``pick_best_album_release`` (with quality_guess
passed in as a parameter to avoid the circular import that would
result from this module trying to know about torrent.py's title
parser), ``unique_staging_path``, ``atomic_copy_to_staging``,
``copy_audio_files_atomically``, ``get_poll_interval``,
``get_poll_timeout``. Module-level size constants and quality
weights live here too. Usenet's grabs-as-popularity-proxy is
built into the picker so both plugins get the right behavior
without divergent local logic.
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: drops the local helpers + the
hard-coded poll constants, imports from album_bundle. Per-track
download flow still uses module-level ``_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS``
/ ``_POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS`` aliases (read from config once at
import time, same as before from a per-track perspective).
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: drops the imports of the
torrent.py private helpers; everything goes through album_bundle
now. Stops the cross-plugin private-import leak that started
this whole refactor.
- tests/test_album_bundle.py: 23 new tests covering the picker
heuristic (empty input, singleton drop, FLAC preference, grabs
fallback for usenet, size-floor / ceiling boundaries), the
collision-suffix logic, the atomic-copy invariant (concurrent
scanner thread asserts it never observes a partial audio file
during five sequential copies), the failure-skip behavior of the
batch copier, and the config-driven poll cadence including
garbage-input fallback.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: existing picker tests
updated to call the new module-level helpers instead of the
former torrent.py privates.
Fixes the core architectural mismatch between indexer-based sources
and the per-track search-and-pick contract every other download
plugin satisfies. Prowlarr returns release-level torrents and NZBs;
searching for "Luther (with SZA)" against the GNX album torrent
scores near-zero on track-title similarity. Per-track candidate
validation rejects every result, every track in the batch flips
to not_found. The album-name fallback added in an earlier commit
papers over it for some cases but doesn't fix the fundamental
behavior: the user wanted the whole album.
New album-bundle flow does what the user actually wanted:
1. Gate fires inside core/downloads/master.py BEFORE the per-track
analysis loop, strictly when the batch has an album context AND
download_source.mode is 'torrent' or 'usenet' (single-source —
hybrid stays per-track to preserve fallback to Soulseek / etc.).
2. Plugin's new download_album_to_staging method searches Prowlarr
ONCE for the album as a whole ('<artist> <album>'), filters to
the right protocol, runs results through _pick_best_album_release.
3. Picker prefers seeded FLAC over low-seeded MP3, drops single-
track torrents that snuck in via the 40 MB size floor (single
tracks are typically ~10 MB), falls back to most-seeded when
every candidate is below the floor.
4. Picked release goes to the active adapter (qBit / Transmission /
Deluge for torrent; SAB / NZBGet for usenet). Polls until
complete with progress mirrored into the batch state so the
Downloads page can show meaningful status.
5. On completion the existing archive_pipeline walks the save dir
(extracting archives if any), every audio file gets copied into
the staging folder via _unique_staging_path so concurrent batches
don't collide.
6. Gate exits, master worker continues into the normal per-track
flow. Each track task hits try_staging_match early in the worker
and finds its file by fuzzy title match — no Prowlarr search
ever fires per-track, no candidate rejection, files flow through
the existing post-processing pipeline (tags, AcoustID, library
import).
Gate is strictly opt-in. Three orthogonal conditions must all hold:
batch_is_album, mode in ('torrent', 'usenet'), and the plugin must
expose download_album_to_staging. Any other source / hybrid mode /
non-album batch flows through the master worker unchanged. The
existing per-track torrent path still works for basic-search
single-track grabs.
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: download_album_to_staging plus
_pick_best_album_release and _unique_staging_path helpers (shared
with the usenet plugin). _poll_album_download mirrors the existing
poll loop with progress callback emission.
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: parallel implementation reusing
the picker + staging helpers. Different state set ('failed' vs
'error') from the usenet adapter contract.
- core/downloads/master.py: ~90-line gate right after batch context
loading. Mirrors plugin lifecycle into batch state under
``album_bundle_*`` keys so the Downloads page can render progress
while the torrent/usenet job runs (per-track tasks don't exist
yet during this phase). Failed bundle download fails the batch
with a meaningful error; missing plugin / context falls back to
the per-track flow with a warning.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: 5 new tests pinning the
album picker preferences (FLAC over MP3 with comparable size +
better seeders, size floor drops singles, fallback when all
small), staging-path collision suffix, and the not-configured
short-circuit.
Real-world test surfaced the bug — torrent results displayed
'by download?apikey=c15d6f69...&link=...' as the uploader / artist
in the basic search UI. The cause is TrackResult.__post_init__:
when artist is None it runs parse_filename_metadata on the bare
filename, and our filename starts with the indexer's download URL
(needed so download() can recover the URL later). The auto-parser
treats the URL as 'artist' and ships it to the UI.
Fix:
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: new _parse_release_title()
splits 'Artist - Title' / 'Artist - Album' out of the release
title and strips trailing [FLAC] / (2016) tags. Falls back to
('', cleaned_title) when no dash is found, and explicitly
rejects URL-looking strings as an extra defence. The projection
pre-fills both artist and title on TrackResult, so __post_init__
skips the auto-parse entirely. When the release title has no
dash, artist defaults to the indexer name so the UI shows
'by Indexer' instead of a URL.
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: imports the new helper and
applies the same fix.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: 5 tests for the new
helper (dash split, trailing-tag stripping, no-dash fallback,
multiple-dash preservation, URL-prefix rejection). Existing
projection tests updated to assert artist + title come through
parsed correctly, plus a new test pinning the indexer-name
fallback for titles without a dash so the URL-leak regression
can't return.
The payoff for the previous five commits. Two new download
sources slot into the existing DownloadSourcePlugin contract,
backed by Prowlarr (search) + the torrent or usenet client
adapter (transfer) + archive_pipeline (post-extract walk). They
appear in the Download Source dropdown next to Soulseek / Tidal /
Lidarr / etc. and also participate in hybrid mode.
Pipeline (both plugins, mirror shape):
1. search(query) → ProwlarrClient.search filtered to the right
protocol, projected into TrackResult / AlbumResult shapes the
existing search UI already speaks. Filename field encodes the
indexer's download URL (or magnet URI for torrents) so
download() can recover it later.
2. download() → decodes URL, hands it to the active adapter
(qBittorrent / Transmission / Deluge for torrent; SABnzbd /
NZBGet for usenet), spawns a background poll thread that
tracks progress + reports the adapter-reported save_path.
3. On 'seeding' / 'completed' → archive_pipeline walks the save
directory, extracts any archives the downloader didn't
already unpack, picks the first audio file as the canonical
file_path. Matches the Lidarr client's single-track-pick
contract — picking which specific track to import happens in
post-processing.
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: TorrentDownloadPlugin +
module-level helpers (_decode_filename, _guess_quality_from_title,
_parse_indexer_id_filter, _adapter_state_to_display, _row_to_status).
Uses get_active_torrent_adapter() so a settings change to the
client type takes effect without restart.
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: UsenetDownloadPlugin —
parallel shape, reuses the torrent module's helpers. Different
enough states (no seeding, no magnet) to warrant its own class
but cheap to keep in lockstep.
- core/download_plugins/registry.py: register 'torrent' and
'usenet' plugins. Per the registry docstring this is the only
wiring point needed — the orchestrator picks them up
automatically via the iteration helpers.
- webui/index.html: 'Torrent Only (via Prowlarr)' + 'Usenet Only
(via Prowlarr)' added to the Download Source dropdown. New
redirect card (#prowlarr-source-redirect) explains that the
actual config lives on the Indexers & Downloaders tab —
shown whenever torrent or usenet is in the active source set.
- webui/static/settings.js: HYBRID_SOURCES gets two new entries
so hybrid mode can pick them up. updateDownloadSourceUI now
toggles the redirect card based on active sources.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: 23 tests covering pure
helpers (filename encode/decode round-trip incl. magnet URIs,
quality guesser, state mapping), search projection logic
(protocol filter, drops without URLs, magnet-preferred-over-URL,
filename encoding, neutralised soulseek-specific score fields),
is_configured (both prowlarr + adapter required), finalize
(picks first audio file, errors on empty dir / missing save_path),
clear/get_all lifecycle, DownloadSourcePlugin protocol
conformance, and registry membership.
Follows the exact same standard as Tidal, Qobuz, HiFi, and Deezer.
registry.py — import + register AmazonDownloadClient as 'amazon'.
amazon_download_client.py — read amazon_download.quality / allow_fallback
from config on init; pass quality as preferred_codec to AmazonClient;
_download_sync codec waterfall respects allow_fallback flag.
download_orchestrator.py — reload_settings() updates preferred_codec +
allow_fallback on the live client after a settings save. 'amazon' added
to _streaming_sources so search_and_download_best routes it correctly.
api_call_tracker.py — 'amazon' registered in RATE_LIMITS (120/min),
SERVICE_LABELS, and SERVICE_ORDER so API call monitoring shows Amazon.
web_server.py — 'amazon_download' added to the settings service loop.
'amazon' added to serverless_sources (no slskd probe needed). Streaming
file-finder extended to handle amazon username + ||asin||title encoding
(extension-less fuzzy match, same as Tidal/Qobuz/HiFi). New endpoint:
GET /api/amazon/test-connection → checks T2Tunes proxy status.
webui/index.html — amazon-download-settings-container: quality dropdown
(flac/opus/eac3), allow-fallback checkbox, test-connection button.
webui/static/settings.js — 'Amazon Music' added to HYBRID_SOURCES,
_hybridSourceEnabled, allSources mode list, loadSettings(), saveSettings()
payload, updateDownloadSourceUI() show/hide + auto-test. New
testAmazonConnection() function.
Four stale doc/comment references caught by Copilot's pass:
- core/download_plugins/base.py: TYPE_CHECKING comment said the
shared dataclasses lived in core.soulseek_client. They were moved
to core.download_plugins.types in this PR. Comment updated.
- core/qobuz_client.py: reload_credentials docstring still referenced
soulseek_client.client('qobuz') after the global rename to
download_orchestrator. Updated to download_orchestrator.client(...).
- webui/static/helper.js: the older WHATS_NEW entries for the plugin
contract + engine refactor still claimed backward-compat
self.<source> attributes were preserved. Followup commits in the
same PR removed them. Each entry now flags the followup explicitly
and points at the "Drop Backward-Compat Per-Source Attrs" entry
above it so the changelog is internally consistent.
- docs/download-engine-refactor-plan.md: Compatibility commitments
section listed orchestrator.<source> attribute preservation as a
guarantee. Cin's review pass removed those attrs (and renamed the
global handle from soulseek_client to download_orchestrator) — both
are breaking changes for in-tree callers (which were migrated) and
in-flight branches (which will need to update). Section rewritten
to document the actual outcome.
Two architectural cleanups on top of the download engine refactor.
(1) Shared dataclasses move to neutral plugin package.
TrackResult, AlbumResult, DownloadStatus, SearchResult lived in
core/soulseek_client.py for historical reasons — every other plugin
imported them from the soulseek module just to satisfy the contract,
coupling 8 clients to a sibling source for type imports only. Moved
them to the new core/download_plugins/types.py module and updated all
14 import sites across the deezer/hifi/lidarr/qobuz/soundcloud/tidal/
youtube clients, the engine, matching engine, redownload helper, and
tests. Clean break, no backward-compat re-export.
(2) web_server.py boots the orchestrator via the singleton factory.
After construction it now calls set_download_orchestrator(...) so
get_download_orchestrator() returns the same instance the global
handle points at instead of lazily building a separate orchestrator.
Matches the get_metadata_engine() pattern.
Cin's review feedback: the plugin contract was discoverable only
from the registry, not from the client files themselves. Reading
`youtube_client.py` cold gave no signal that the class participates
in the DownloadSourcePlugin contract.
Every download client class now inherits DownloadSourcePlugin
explicitly:
- SoulseekClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- YouTubeClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- TidalDownloadClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- QobuzClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- HiFiClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- DeezerDownloadClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- SoundcloudClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- LidarrDownloadClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
Adjustments:
- core/download_plugins/base.py — moved TrackResult/AlbumResult/
DownloadStatus imports under TYPE_CHECKING since they're only
used in type annotations. Without this, clients inheriting the
contract create a circular import.
- core/download_plugins/__init__.py — drops DownloadPluginRegistry
re-export. Importing the package no longer triggers the registry's
eager client imports (which would also be circular for clients
that import from the package). Callers that need the registry
import it directly: `from core.download_plugins.registry import
DownloadPluginRegistry`.
Suite still green (335 download tests).
`core/download_plugins/` defines the canonical interface every
download source must satisfy and the registry that holds them.
Single source of truth replacing the orchestrator's hardcoded
`[self.soulseek, self.youtube, ...]` lists scattered across 6+
dispatch sites.
Pure additive — no consumers wired through the registry yet.
