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
Stripped 4,200+ emoji characters from print(), logger calls across
39 Python files. Logs are now clean text — easier to grep, more
professional, no encoding issues on terminals without Unicode support.
Seasonal config icons preserved for UI display.
Tag preview and writer now use track_artist (per-track artist) for the
Artist tag when available, falling back to artist_name (album artist)
when NULL. Album Artist tag always uses artist_name.
Fixes#277 — DJ mix albums no longer overwrite per-track artists
(Technique, Gouryella) with the album artist (Tiësto).
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)
Clients are for the most part being initialized per-request, which leads to a lot of redundant client initialization, as well as noise on the logs, since each client initialization emits a row on the logs, eg. 'Deezer client initialized'
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
The discovery worker skipped already-discovered tracks even when their
matched_data was incomplete (missing track_number, release_date, album
ID). These stale discoveries from before the enrichment fix would
persist forever, causing the automation pipeline to keep producing
tracks with no year, no track numbers, and no cover art.
Now treats discovered tracks as undiscovered if they're missing
track_number AND have no release_date or album ID, so the enriched
discovery pipeline fills in the gaps on the next run.
Adds two new sections to the version modal covering the Unknown Artist
fix, centralized metadata source selection, Deezer cache fix, sync
completion feedback, Fix Unknown Artists maintenance job, and the
matching engine artist gate improvements.
All metadata source decisions now flow through get_primary_source() and
get_primary_client() in core/metadata_service.py. Previously 6 different
files reimplemented this logic with inconsistent defaults ('itunes' vs
'deezer') and auth checks, causing bugs when any one was missed.
Changes:
- metadata_service.py: Added canonical get_primary_source/get_primary_client
- web_server.py: _get_metadata_fallback_source() and _get_active_discovery_source()
are now thin wrappers delegating to metadata_service
- seasonal_discovery.py: _get_source() delegates to metadata_service
- personalized_playlists.py: _get_active_source() delegates to metadata_service
- spotify_client.py: Fixed _fallback_source default from 'itunes' to 'deezer'
- watchlist_scanner.py: _get_fallback_metadata_client() delegates to metadata_service
Future changes to source selection only need to update one file.
Seasonal discovery, personalized playlists, and playlist explorer all
defaulted to Spotify when authenticated, ignoring the user's configured
primary source. Now they read from config first.
Spotify's related_artists API (no Deezer/iTunes equivalent) is preserved
as a fallback for all users in personalized playlists. Artist discography
endpoint intentionally unchanged — ID-based lookups need the source that
owns the ID.
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.
Discovery workers now respect the user's configured primary metadata
source instead of always using Spotify when authenticated. This
completes the intent of commit 3c211ea.
The core fix addresses data loss in the discovery→sync→wishlist→download
pipeline: the Track dataclass strips album metadata to a plain string,
losing album ID, track_number, release_date, and images. Discovery
workers now enrich results via get_track_details() to recover this data.
Deezer's get_track_details() cache validation was incorrectly trusting
search-result cache (which lacks track_position), returning track_number=0.
Also fixes wishlist download processing where albums without IDs couldn't
map to artists, and the fallback read 'artist' (singular) instead of
'artists' (plural), always producing "Unknown Artist".
Includes a one-time migration to purge stale discovery cache entries.
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).
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.
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.
When downloading individual tracks from a playlist sync, the album
detection fallback hardcoded track_number to 1 instead of using the
value already available in the download context from the playlist
metadata. Now checks original_search.track_number and track_info
.track_number before falling back to 1. Full album downloads and
Spotify API lookup paths are completely unchanged.
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.
Discogs was missing from valid_services, _enrichment_locks, and
_run_single_enrichment handler. The Enrich button on the enhanced
library page returned "service must be one of" error when Discogs
was selected. Added handler using _process_item pattern matching
other batch-style workers, with guard against track-level enrichment.
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.
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".
FLAC → Opus/AAC conversion only tried to read embedded art from the
source FLAC. If art was only in cover.jpg (not embedded), the lossy
copy got no art. Now falls back to cover.jpg in the same directory.
Previously skipped for Tidal/Qobuz/HiFi/Deezer as "trusted API sources"
but streaming APIs can return wrong versions (live, remix, cover).
AcoustID now runs for every download source when enabled.
Added user-follow-read scope to all 5 SpotifyOAuth instances in
web_server.py (was only in spotify_client.py). Fixed OAuth callbacks
using is_authenticated() instead of is_spotify_authenticated() — the
former returns True with iTunes/Deezer fallback, masking auth failures.
Credit: kettui (PR #253) identified both issues.
When using templates like "albums/$albumartist/$album/$track - $title",
post-processing created Transfer/ArtistName/ before computing the
template path, leaving an empty folder. _build_final_path_for_track
handles all directory creation based on the template — the premature
makedirs was redundant and incorrect.
- 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)
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
Manual scan path was only backfilling the active provider (e.g., only
Spotify IDs if Spotify was active). Now matches the auto-scan behavior:
backfills iTunes, Deezer, Spotify (if auth'd), and Discogs (if token)
for all watchlist artists before scanning begins.
Removed cross-guards that blocked wishlist downloads while watchlist scans
ran (and vice versa). Downloads use bandwidth, scans use API calls —
different resources. The per-call rate limiter handles any API contention.
- Automation engine: each handler now has self-only guard (no cross-block)
- _process_wishlist_automatically: removed watchlist scanning check
- Pipeline Phase 4: removed watchlist scanning check
- Manual watchlist scan endpoint: removed wishlist processing check
Users with large watchlists (6+ hour scans) will now see downloads
starting immediately instead of waiting for the scan to finish.
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.
Removed as_dict=True from all three OAuth callback sites. Spotipy will
return token string directly in future versions — our code only checks
truthiness so both dict and string work.
API Call Tracker:
- Save/load 24h minute-bucketed history + events to database/api_call_history.json
- Persists across server restarts via atexit + signal handler hooks
- New record_event() for rate limit bans (called from _set_global_rate_limit)
- New get_debug_summary() for Copy Debug Info — 24h totals, peak cpm with
timestamp, per-endpoint breakdown, and last 20 rate limit events
- Fixed race condition: events iteration now inside lock during save
Spotify Rate Limit Mitigation:
- Enrichment worker: max_pages=5 on get_artist_albums (was unlimited — artist
with 217 albums caused 22 paginated API calls, now capped at 5)
- Enrichment worker: inter_item_sleep raised from 0.5s to 1.5s
Spotify Re-Auth Fix:
- Both OAuth callbacks (port 8008 + 8888) now clear rate limit ban AND
post-ban cooldown after successful re-auth — Spotify usable immediately
instead of stuck on Deezer fallback for 5 minutes
- Auth cache invalidated on both global client and enrichment worker client
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
Tidal, Qobuz, HiFi, and Deezer results were blindly taking the first
API result with minimal validation. Now all streaming sources use
score_track_match() — same 60% title / 30% artist / 10% duration
weighting as Soulseek, plus version detection penalties.
- web_server.py get_valid_candidates(): replaced loose title-sim check
with matching engine scoring, version penalty for live/remix/acoustic
- download_orchestrator.py: optional expected_track param enables
scoring in search_and_download_best (backward compatible)
- sync_service.py: passes spotify_track for validation
- Fixed wrong class name (MusicMatchingEngine not MatchingEngine)
cover.jpg was always written from Spotify/iTunes URL (640x640) when the
first track in an album reached _download_cover_art before MusicBrainz
lookup completed. Later tracks with MBID skipped because file existed.
Fix: when cover.jpg exists but is small (<200KB) and we now have a CAA
MBID, attempt to upgrade it with the high-res CAA version. If CAA fetch
fails, keep existing cover — no pointless overwrites.
Also adds Forgot PIN recovery to the profile selection PIN dialog,
reusing the same credential verification flow as the launch lock screen.
Backend reset endpoint now accepts profile_id parameter.
Runs at scan start after ID backfill — zero API calls, all DB lookups:
1. Metadata cache artist image (any source)
2. Deezer direct URL from stored deezer_artist_id
3. Deezer ID from metadata cache by name (even if not on watchlist row)
4. Album art fallback (iTunes artists have no artist images)
Also fixes update path for artists with no external IDs — falls back
to direct row ID update instead of silently matching zero rows.
- Image proxy endpoint (/api/image-proxy) for canvas CORS — allowlisted CDNs,
browser-like UA for Deezer, 24h cache headers. Direct CORS first, proxy fallback.
- Server-side 5-min cache on all artist map endpoints with auto-invalidation
on watchlist add/remove, scan complete, and new MusicMap discoveries.
- Explorer fetches similar artists from MusicMap on-the-fly when none stored,
saves to DB for instant future visits. Validates artist names against
Spotify/iTunes API before loading map — rejects gibberish with 404.
- Genre map per-genre cap removed (was 300 backend, 400 frontend).
- Center node in Explorer uses type 'center' not 'watchlist' — no longer
misidentified as a watchlist artist.
- Error overlay auto-dismisses after 2.5s and returns to Discover page.
- Helper What's New restructured with dated sections (April 4/3/2/1, March),
trimmed from ~80 to ~38 entries, date headers styled as purple dividers.
- Version modal updated with Artist Map section and recent fixes.
get_top_similar_artists now accepts require_source parameter to filter
by source ID in SQL. Previously fetched 200 artists then post-filtered,
but cycling logic (last_featured ASC) rotated artists without IDs to
the front, causing all 200 to be filtered out.
Both /api/discover/hero and /api/discover/similar-artists now pass
require_source=active_source so only artists with valid IDs are returned.
- Metadata cache backfill: batch-lookup all node names across all sources
to fill missing IDs, images, and genres
- Source-aware navigation: View Discography passes correct source to
artist page so non-active-source artists load correctly
- Constellation hover effect: 800ms delay, fade in/out animation, dim
overlay with glowing connection lines to related artists
- Click ripple animation on node selection
- Related artists list in info modal with clickable navigation
- Rich tooltip with artist photo, name, genres on hover
- Removed node dragging (caused visual desync with offscreen buffer)
- Performance: cached constellation lookups, lighter cache query
(no raw_json), canvas.width for proper DPR overlay coverage
Visual canvas map on Discover page showing watchlist artists as large
anchor bubbles surrounded by their similar artists, sized by relevance.
Layout: golden angle spiral for watchlist nodes with push-apart guarantee,
spiral packing with spatial grid collision detection for similar artists.
Offscreen buffer rendering for smooth pan/zoom (single drawImage blit).
Features:
- 320px watchlist bubbles, similar sized 25-55% by rank/occurrence
- Search bar with instant filter + animated zoom-to-node
- Tooltip with artist photo, name, genre tags on hover
- Touch support: single finger pan, pinch zoom, tap to click
- Zoom +/- buttons and fit-to-screen with smooth 250ms animation
- Click opens artist info modal (same as Your Artists)
- Loading overlay with image count progress
- Async image loading via createImageBitmap (non-blocking)
YOUR ARTISTS (major feature):
- Aggregates liked/followed artists from Spotify, Tidal, Last.fm, Deezer
- Matches to ALL metadata sources (Spotify, iTunes, Deezer, Discogs)
- DB-first matching: library → watchlist → cache → API search (capped)
- Image backfill from Spotify API for artists missing artwork
- Carousel on Discover page with 20 random matched artists
- View All modal with search, source filters, sort, pagination
- Artist info modal: hero image, matched source badges, genres, bio,
listeners/plays from Last.fm, watchlist toggle, view discography
- Auto-refresh with loading state on first load, polls until ready
- Deduplication by normalized name across all services
DEEZER OAUTH:
- Full OAuth flow: /auth/deezer + /deezer/callback
- Settings UI on Connections tab (App ID, Secret, Redirect URI)
- Token stored encrypted, auto-included in API calls
- get_user_favorite_artists() for liked artists pool
SERVICE CLIENTS:
- Spotify: added user-follow-read scope + get_followed_artists()
- Tidal: get_favorite_artists() with V2/V1 fallback
- Last.fm: get_authenticated_username() + get_user_top_artists()
FAILED MB LOOKUPS MANAGER:
- Manage button on Cache Health modal
- Browse/filter/search all failed MusicBrainz lookups
- Search MusicBrainz directly and manually match entries
- Optimized cache health queries (11 → 4 consolidated)
- Dashboard cache stats now poll every 15s
EXPLORER IMPROVEMENTS:
- Discover button on undiscovered playlist cards
- Status badges: explored/wishlisted/downloaded/ready
- Auto-refresh during discovery via polling
- Redesigned controls: prominent Explore button, icons
BUG FIXES:
- Fix album artist splitting on collab albums (collab mode fed
album-level artists instead of per-track)
- Fix cover.jpg not moving during library reorganize (post-pass sweep)
- Fix cover.jpg missing when album detection takes fallback path
- Fix wishlist auto-processing toast spam (was firing every 2s)
- Fix media player collapsing on short viewports
- Fix watchlist rate limiting (~90% fewer API calls)
- Configurable spotify.min_api_interval setting
- Better Retry-After header extraction
- Encrypt Last.fm and Discogs credentials at rest
- Add $discnum template variable (unpadded disc number)
$disc gives zero-padded "01", $discnum gives raw "1". Useful for
Plex-style naming like "102 - Track.flac" (disc 1 track 02).
Added to both _get_file_path_from_template and _get_file_path_from_template_raw
at all 6 replacement sites. $discnum always replaced before $disc to
prevent partial matching. No existing behavior changed.
1. Discover button on undiscovered playlist cards — triggers discovery
directly from Explorer instead of redirecting to Sync page. Button
changes to "Open" to reopen modal after closing.
2. Status badges on playlist cards: checkmark (in library), heart
(wishlisted), star (fully discovered), percentage (needs discovery).
Meta line shows "N in library · M wishlisted" counts.
3. Auto-refresh: polls every 5s during active discovery to update cards.
WebSocket listener for discovery:progress events. Cards refresh when
discovery completes.
4. Explored tracking: playlists get green checkmark badge after tree is
built (session-only, resets on reload).
Backend: new get_mirrored_playlist_status_counts with fail-safe design —
core discovery counts use simple reliable queries, library/wishlist
counts are best-effort extras that won't break discovery detection.
Card layout redesigned: badges inline with playlist name, discover
button below meta text, no more absolute positioning overlaps.
New feature: Failed MusicBrainz Lookups management modal accessible
from Cache Health. Browse all failed lookups with type filter tabs,
search bar, pagination. Click any entry to search MusicBrainz and
manually match — saves MBID at 100% confidence. Clear individual
entries or bulk clear all.
Backend: 4 new endpoints — failed-mb-lookups list, mb-entry delete,
musicbrainz/search (artist/release/recording), mb-match save.
Performance: Cache health stats consolidated from 11 queries to 4
using CASE expressions. Added partial index on musicbrainz_cache for
failed lookups. Dashboard cache stats now poll every 15s instead of
single fire-and-forget fetch. Failed MB type counts cached on frontend,
only re-fetched after mutations.
Also includes: library reorganize now moves cover.jpg via post-pass
sidecar sweep, and changelog updates.
When _detect_album_info_web couldn't find a good Spotify match, the
fallback dict lacked album_image_url — so _download_cover_art silently
skipped the download even though the URL was available in the context's
spotify_album object.
Now _download_cover_art accepts optional context parameter and falls
back to spotify_album.image_url or spotify_album.images[0].url when
album_info lacks the URL. All 4 call sites updated to pass context.
Feed collab mode album-level artists instead of per-track artists so
$albumartist and the album_artist tag are consistent across all tracks
in an album. Fixes media servers (Navidrome/Jellyfin/Plex) showing one
album split under multiple artist names (e.g. KPOP Demon Hunters).
- _build_final_path_for_track: resolve $albumartist from explicit batch
context or spotify_album.artists, pass album-level _artists_list to
collab mode instead of per-track artists
- _extract_spotify_metadata: same album-level artists for album_artist
tag collab resolution
- Wishlist path: pre-compute per-album artist map so all tracks from
the same album get the same artist context
- Download worker: propagate album artists array in spotify_album_context
- Test connection now shows "Discogs connection successful!" when
Discogs is the active fallback (was showing "iTunes")
- Spotify disconnect message shows correct fallback name
- Watchlist artist list: discogs_artist_id in API response
- Watchlist source badges: Discogs badge on artist cards
- Watchlist config modal: discogs_artist_id in SQL query, WHERE clause,
response, and linked provider section with badge
- CSS for watchlist-source-discogs and watchlist-provider-badge.discogs
- Add discogs_id to library artists SQL SELECT (was missing)
- Add discogs_id to artist detail discography SQL SELECT and service
IDs loop — fixes hero badges not showing Discogs
- DISCOGS_LOGO_URL constant, badge in library cards, hero, enhanced view
- Match status chip and manual match support for Discogs
- Fetch real track count from source during completion check when
total_tracks is 0 (Discogs masters) — one API call per album, runs
during existing per-album ownership check phase
- Reclassify album cards to single/EP when track count reveals 1-3/4-6
tracks — updates type label and data attribute in place
- Add collectors edition to album title variation patterns for matching
"Damn" against "DAMN. COLLECTORS EDITION." in library
- Hide 0/0 fraction when expected_tracks is 0, show proper count when
fetched
- get_album and get_album_tracks now try /masters/{id} first, fall back
to /releases/{id} — artist discography returns master IDs which are
in a different namespace than release IDs
- Fixes wrong album showing in download modal (master ID 3664443 for
GNX was hitting /releases/3664443 which is a different album)
- Add Discogs source override to all 6 artist/album/track endpoints
- Add discogs_id to _resolve_db_album_id lookup
- SpotifyClient: add _discogs lazy-load property, route _fallback to
DiscogsClient when configured (requires token, falls back to iTunes)
- web_server: _get_metadata_fallback_client returns DiscogsClient when
selected and token present
- Enhanced search: Discogs added as source tab with NDJSON streaming,
only available when token configured
- Alternate sources list includes Discogs when token is set
- Frontend: source labels, tab styling, fetch list all include Discogs
- Consistent with iTunes/Deezer pattern — same interfaces, same routing
- New core/discogs_worker.py — background worker enriching artists and
albums with Discogs metadata following AudioDBWorker pattern exactly
- Artist enrichment: discogs_id, bio, members, URLs, image backfill,
genre backfill, summary backfill from bio
- Album enrichment: discogs_id, genres, styles (400+ taxonomy), label,
catalog number, country, community rating, image backfill
- DB migration: discogs columns on artists (id, match_status, bio,
members, urls) and albums (id, match_status, genres, styles, label,
catno, country, rating, rating_count)
- Worker initialization with pause/resume persistence
- Status/pause/resume API endpoints
- Integrated into enrichment status system, rate monitor, auto-pause
during downloads/scans, WebSocket status emission
- New Discogs section on Settings → Connections with personal token input
- Discogs added as fallback metadata source option alongside iTunes/Deezer
- Token saved to discogs.token config key
- Discogs added to API rate monitor gauges (60/min with auth)
- Help text links to discogs.com/settings/developers for token generation
- Add bit_depth, sample_rate, bitrate columns to track_downloads table
- Read audio info from file via Mutagen when recording provenance
- Source Info popover shows "Audio: 24-bit · 96.0kHz · 2304kbps"
- These values are captured from the original file before transcoding,
so users can see the original specs even after Blasphemy Mode converts
FLAC to lossy format
- Update provenance file_path when Blasphemy Mode deletes the original
FLAC and replaces it with a lossy copy — provenance now points to
the transcoded file instead of the deleted original
- New update_provenance_file_path() database method
- Non-blocking: wrapped in try/except, never interrupts transcode flow
- Downsample (hi-res → CD quality) is unaffected — replaces in-place
with same filename, provenance stays valid
- When Spotify is authenticated, spotify_public playlists now use the
full API instead of the embed scraper — auto-discovers with album art,
consistent with regular spotify playlists
- When using scraper fallback, no longer sets extra_data on tracks —
lets preservation code keep existing discovery data instead of
overwriting discovered=true with discovered=false on every refresh
- Consistent with Tidal/YouTube/Deezer which never set extra_data
- Fixes Discover Weekly showing "not discovered" after overnight refresh
- New 'webhook' then-action: sends HTTP POST with JSON payload to any
user-configured URL (Gotify, Home Assistant, Slack, n8n, etc.)
- Config: URL, optional custom headers (Key: Value per line with
variable substitution), optional custom message
- Payload includes all event variables as JSON fields
- 15s timeout, errors on 400+ status codes
- Follows exact same pattern as Discord/Pushbullet/Telegram handlers
- Frontend: config fields, config reader, icon, help docs
- Updated changelogs with webhook, M3U fix, orchestrator hardening
- Each of the 6 download clients initializes independently via
_safe_init() — one failing client no longer kills the orchestrator
- All methods guarded against None clients with appropriate fallbacks
- Init failures logged at startup and tracked in _init_failures list
- Copy Debug Info shows "Download Client Failures" section when any
client failed to initialize, or "ALL" if orchestrator itself is dead
- Merge enrichment worker status into rate monitor WebSocket payload
- Hide old enrichment pills — rate monitor cards now show: service name,
worker status badge, arc gauge, calls/min, 1h/24h counts, budget bar
- Debounce idle detection with 5s grace period — prevents status
flickering between Running and Idle on every worker cycle
- Responsive grid layout with richer card design
- Add _get_tidal_download_client() helper that checks for None
soulseek_client before accessing .tidal attribute
- All 3 Tidal download auth endpoints use the helper
- Clear error messages: "Download orchestrator not initialized" or
"Tidal download client not available" instead of cryptic
"'NoneType' object has no attribute 'tidal'"
- Backend: include api_rates (per-service calls/min + Spotify endpoints)
and spotify_rate_limit (active, remaining, trigger endpoint) in debug-info
- Frontend: format API rates table with service name, cpm, limit, percentage,
and Spotify endpoint breakdown. Show bold warning block when rate limited
with trigger endpoint, remaining time, and retry-after value
- New core/api_call_tracker.py — centralized tracker with rolling 60s
timestamps (speedometer) and 24h minute-bucketed history (charts)
- Instrument all 9 service client rate_limited decorators to record
actual API calls with per-endpoint tracking for Spotify
- 1-second WebSocket push loop for real-time gauge updates
- Modern radial arc gauges with service brand colors, glowing active
arc, endpoint dot, 0/max scale labels, smooth CSS transitions
- Click any gauge to open detail modal with 24h call history chart
(Canvas 2D, HiDPI, gradient fill, grid lines, danger zone band)
- Spotify modal shows per-endpoint history lines with color legend
and live per-endpoint breakdown bars
- Rate limited state indicator — blinking red badge with countdown
timer appears on gauge card when Spotify ban is active
- REST endpoint GET /api/rate-monitor/history/<service> for chart data
- Responsive grid layout (5 cols desktop, 3 tablet, 2 phone)
- New "Concurrent Downloads" dropdown on Settings page (1-10, default 3)
- Saved to download_source.max_concurrent config key
- All 6 batch creation sites use configured value instead of hardcoded 3
- Soulseek-only album downloads still use 1 worker (source reuse per user)
- Hybrid/YouTube/Tidal/Qobuz/Deezer albums use full configured concurrency
- Source endpoint now streams artists/albums/tracks as separate NDJSON
lines as each search type completes — iTunes users see artists in ~3s
instead of waiting 9+ seconds for all 3 rate-limited calls to finish
- Enhanced search _fetchAlternateSource reads stream with ReadableStream
reader, merges each chunk into source data, re-renders tabs immediately
- Global search uses same streaming pattern via _gsFetchSourceStream
- No data loss: streamed data merges incrementally, primary response
preserves already-received alternate source data
- Remove direct request_scan() calls from album and singles import —
emit batch_complete through automation engine instead, matching the
same chain as download batches (scan → DB update)
- Show current track name in import queue status display instead of
just processed/total count
- Change <int:track_id> to <track_id> on 5 library track endpoints —
Jellyfin uses GUID strings, int converter rejected them with 404 (#237)
- Add PUT /api/library/clear-match endpoint — sets service ID to NULL
and match status to not_found, allowing users to undo wrong matches (#236)
- Add "Clear Match" button in the manual match modal for all services
- Add bottom padding to .page to prevent floating buttons (bell, help)
from overlapping track action buttons at page bottom (#237)
- New discovery_artist_blacklist table with NOCASE name matching
- Filter blacklisted artists from all 6 discovery pool queries, hero
endpoint, and recent releases via SQL subquery and Python set check
- Name-based filtering means one block covers all sources (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer)
- Hover any discovery track row → ✕ button to quick-block that artist
- 🚫 button on Discover hero opens management modal with search-to-add
(powered by enhanced search) and list of blocked artists with unblock
- CRUD API: GET/POST/DELETE /api/discover/artist-blacklist
- Updated changelogs
- Add MusicBrainz to Cache Browser: stats pill, source filter, dedicated
browse endpoint, cards with matched/failed status indicators
- Add Clear MusicBrainz and Clear Failed MB Only to cache clear dropdown
- Move MusicBrainz into Cache Health "By Source" bar chart alongside
Spotify/iTunes/Deezer instead of isolated metric row
- Rename ambiguous "Failed Lookups" to "Failed MB Lookups" in summary cards
- Add browse-musicbrainz and clear-musicbrainz API endpoints
- Add musicbrainz_total/musicbrainz_failed to cache stats response
- Add Global Search Bar and MusicBrainz cache to changelogs
- Strip cloned inline onclick on global search play button swap to prevent
simultaneous stream search + library play
- Include album thumb_url in library-check response and resolve relative
Plex paths to full URLs with base URL + token
- Pass album art through to playLibraryTrack from both global and enhanced
search library check handlers
- Add Plex music library locations as candidate dirs in _resolve_library_file_path
- Remove debug console.log from _gsDeactivate
Wing It bypasses Spotify/iTunes/Deezer matching and uses raw track
names directly. User chooses Download or Sync from a choice dialog.
Download: opens Download Missing modal with force-download-all
pre-checked. wing_it flag skips wishlist for failed tracks.
Sync: new POST /api/wing-it/sync endpoint runs _run_sync_task with
raw track dicts. Live inline sync status display on the LB card
using the same progress elements as normal sync. Unmatched tracks
skip wishlist via _skip_wishlist flag on sync_service.
Button in three places:
- Next to "Start Discovery" in all discovery modals (fresh phase)
- Next to "Download Missing"/"Sync" after discovery (discovered phase)
- Next to "Download" on ListenBrainz cards (Discover page)
Fixed force-download toggle ID, sync progress field names
(total_tracks/matched_tracks not total/matched). All changes
purely additive — normal flows unaffected.
Complete replacement of the old bottom-center stacking toast system:
Compact Toasts: Single toast at a time, bottom-right above buttons.
Pill shape with type-colored left border stripe, icon, message, and
optional "Learn more" link. Slides in, fades out after 3.5s. Click
to dismiss. New toasts replace the current one smoothly.
Notification Bell: 44px circle button next to the helper (?), with
red badge counter for unread notifications. Click opens panel.
Notification Panel: Glass popover above bell button showing history
of last 50 notifications. Each entry has type icon, message, relative
timestamp, and optional help link. Unread dot indicator. Clear All
button. Marks all as read when panel opens.
Same showToast(message, type, helpSection) signature — all 842
callers unchanged. Deduplication preserved. Updated version modal
and helper What's New.
The download orchestrator's hybrid search stops at the first source
that returns ANY results, even if all those results fail quality
filtering. This meant Soulseek returning 100 low-quality results
would prevent HiFi/Tidal/YouTube from ever being tried.
Added hybrid fallback in the download worker: when all queries exhaust
with no valid candidates and hybrid mode is active, remaining sources
in the hybrid order are searched directly, bypassing the orchestrator's
stop-at-first-hit logic. Each fallback source gets the first 2 queries
with full quality filtering and candidate validation.
Fixed guard condition from convoluted diagnostic string parsing to a
simple mode check. Uses getattr for safe attribute access.
_extract_track_number_from_filename now requires a separator after
digits (dash, dot, bracket) to prevent parsing artist names like
"50 Cent" as track number 50. Also handles disc-track format "1-03".
This is a last-resort fallback only — standard downloads get track
numbers from Spotify/iTunes/Deezer metadata. Only affects files with
no metadata where the filename starts with digits.
Pipeline parity: redownload/start now fetches full track details from
the selected metadata source (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer) for real
track_number, disc_number, and album context. Sets explicit album
context flags so post-processing uses the standard album download path.
Stuck batch fix: active_count was 0, decremented to -1 on completion,
so batch never detected as complete. Now initializes active_count=1
and queue_index=1 since we submit the worker directly.
Button timing: Download Selected handler wired up immediately before
streaming starts, reads from window._redownloadCandidates which
updates live as results arrive. No longer blocked by slow Soulseek.
Track number: _extract_track_number_from_filename requires separator
after digits so "50 Cent" is not parsed as track 50.
Progress: real download stats from /api/downloads/status. Handles
streaming sources showing "Processing..." when no transfer found.
Three bugs that would crash when clicking Download Selected:
1. Passed raw dict to _attempt_download_with_candidates which accesses
track.artists/track.album as attributes — now constructs Track object
2. TrackResult missing confidence attr — sort would crash — now set
from candidate data
3. Redownload hook (old file delete + DB update) was inside tasks_lock
blocking all task state changes — moved outside lock with proper
None initialization
Step 2 of the redownload modal now streams results as each download
source responds instead of waiting for all sources to finish. Tidal/
YouTube/Qobuz columns appear instantly while Soulseek searches.
Backend: search-sources endpoint uses ThreadPoolExecutor + NDJSON
streaming — one JSON line per source as it completes.
Frontend: reads the NDJSON stream, appends columns with fade-in
animation as each source responds. Download button enables as soon
as any results arrive.
Each source gets its own column with results grouped and sorted by
confidence. Visual confidence bars, format badges, and source-specific
metadata (Soulseek username/slots). Best overall match auto-selected.
Major redesign:
- All metadata sources shown as side-by-side columns (not tabs)
- Frosted glass modal background with blur(40px) saturate(1.4)
- Album cover art in header from DB thumb_url (resolved for Plex)
- 1100px width, all elements scaled up, white text on accent buttons
Bug fixes:
- Deezer: use global singleton client, title-only fallback search,
strip version suffixes from query
- Track.__init__: added missing popularity=0 parameter
- Overlay: dedicated .redownload-overlay class avoids CSS conflicts
New track_downloads table records every download with full source data:
service type (soulseek/youtube/tidal/etc), username, remote filename,
file size, and audio quality. Recorded at all 3 post-processing
completion points.
Source Info button (ℹ) on each track in the enhanced library view shows
a popover with download provenance: service, username, original filename,
size, quality, download date. Includes "Blacklist This Source" button
that stores the real username+filename (not guessed local filenames).
Removed broken "Delete & Blacklist" option from Smart Delete since it
had no access to real source data. Blacklisting now done exclusively
from the Source Info popover where actual provenance data exists.
Added blacklist CRUD API endpoints (GET/POST/DELETE /api/library/blacklist).
Three-step redownload flow in the enhanced library view:
1. Metadata Source — searches Spotify/iTunes/Deezer simultaneously,
shows results with match scores, flags current match
2. Download Source — searches all active download sources (Soulseek,
YouTube, Tidal, etc.), shows candidates with format/bitrate/size/
confidence, flags blacklisted sources
3. Download — starts download, polls for progress, deletes old file
on success, updates DB path
Also integrates the download blacklist into the download pipeline —
_attempt_download_with_candidates now skips blacklisted sources
automatically during all downloads (wishlist, playlist sync, etc.).
New redownload button (↻) on each track row in enhanced library view.
Post-processing hook deletes old file and updates DB track path after
successful redownload.
Track delete in the enhanced library now shows three options:
- Remove from Library: DB record only (existing behavior)
- Delete File Too: DB + os.remove() the file from disk
- Delete & Blacklist: DB + file removal + add source to blacklist
New download_blacklist table stores rejected sources (username + filename)
with CRUD methods. Blacklist will be checked by the download pipeline
and the upcoming track redownload modal.
Smart delete modal styled with the same glass/dark theme as other
SoulSync modals, with color-coded destructive options.
Dashboard enrichment chips show 'Yielding' instead of 'Paused' when
workers are auto-paused during downloads. Tooltips show 'Yielding for
downloads' for full context. Distinguishes user-paused from auto-paused.
Also handles edge case where user manually resumes a worker during
downloads — adds to override set so the loop doesn't re-pause it.
Override resets when downloads finish so next download session re-pauses.
Spotify, Last.fm, and Genius enrichment workers are now automatically
paused while any download batch is active. This prevents enrichment
API calls from competing with post-processing metadata lookups for
rate limit headroom, especially during heavy download scenarios
(3 playlist workers + wishlist downloads simultaneously).
Workers resume automatically when all downloads finish. Only workers
that were auto-paused are resumed — manually paused workers stay paused.
Piggybacks on the existing 2-second enrichment status loop with no new
threads or timers.
The manual match modal for Genius only returned 0 or 1 artist result
because search_artist() searched songs (per_page=5), extracted the
primary artist, and returned the first match or None.
Added search_artists() that returns multiple unique artists extracted
from song results with broader search (per_page=20). The manual match
endpoint now shows up to 8 artist candidates and multiple track results
instead of one-or-nothing. Also shows the Genius URL as extra info.
CAA art can be higher resolution (1200x1200+) but quality is
inconsistent — some releases have cellophane-wrapped photos or
low-quality scans. Spotify/iTunes/Deezer art is lower res (640x640)
but consistently clean and official.
New toggle: Settings → Post-Processing → "Use MusicBrainz Cover Art
Archive for album art" (off by default). Applies to both embedded
art and cover.jpg downloads.
Five places in web_server.py called spotify_client.sp.search() directly,
bypassing the cached search_tracks()/search_artists() methods. Each
discovery worker (Tidal, YouTube, ListenBrainz, Beatport) was also
doubling API calls — sp.search() for raw data then search_tracks() for
Track objects.
Now all use cached methods only. Raw track data for album art is
retrieved from the metadata cache by track ID after matching. Also fixed
a pre-existing bug where Tidal discovery could pair stale Spotify raw
data with a newer iTunes match.
Bumped is_spotify_authenticated() probe cache TTL from 5 to 15 minutes
to reduce /v1/me calls (~288/day → ~96/day). Manual disconnect still
takes effect immediately via _invalidate_auth_cache().
The watchlist auto-scan needs fresh data from Spotify to detect new
releases, so it bypasses the cache added in the previous commit.
All other callers (UI browsing, completion badges, discography views)
continue to benefit from cached results.
The MusicBrainz release ID found by _embed_source_ids was stored in the
metadata dict but never propagated to album_info. The old code tried to
write album_info['musicbrainz_release_id'] inside _embed_source_ids, but
album_info wasn't in that function's scope — causing a silent NameError.
Fix: copy the MBID from metadata to album_info in _enhance_file_metadata
(where both are in scope) right after _embed_source_ids returns. This
makes _download_cover_art see the MBID and use Cover Art Archive for
cover.jpg instead of falling back to the smaller Spotify/iTunes thumbnail.
YouTube's auto-generated artist channels use the format "Artist - Topic"
as the channel name. This suffix was not being stripped during playlist
parsing, causing metadata discovery to fail (e.g., searching for
"Koven - Topic" instead of "Koven" on iTunes/Deezer).
Fixed in all three places where YouTube artist names are cleaned:
- web_server.py clean_youtube_artist() — playlist parsing
- ui/pages/sync.py clean_youtube_artist() — UI-side parsing
- core/youtube_client.py — search result fallback artist extraction
New "Server Playlists" tab (default on Sync page) lets users compare
mirrored playlists against their media server and fix match issues.
- Dual-column comparison: source tracks (left) vs server tracks (right)
- Smart matching: exact title first, then fuzzy artist+title (≥75%)
- Find & Add: search library to fill missing slots at correct position
- Swap: replace matched tracks with different versions
- Remove: delete tracks from server playlists with confirmation
- Title similarity percentage badge on each match
- Disambiguation modal when multiple mirrored playlists share a name
- Album art on source tracks, server tracks, and search results
- Cross-column click-to-scroll highlighting
- Filter buttons (All/Matched/Missing/Extra) with live counts
- Escape key and backdrop click to close modals
- Mobile responsive (stacked columns under 768px)
- Works with Plex, Jellyfin, and Navidrome
New dashboard section shows recent syncs as scrolling cards with
playlist art, source badge, match percentage bar, and health color.
Click any card to open a detail modal showing every track's match
status, confidence score, album art, and download/wishlist status.
Per-track data is now cached in sync_history.track_results for all
sync paths: server-sync (playlist→media server), download missing
tracks, and wishlist processing. SyncResult carries match_details
from the sync service. Both image URLs and matched track info are
preserved for review.
Features:
- Staggered card entrance animation, delete button on hover
- Filter bar: All/Matched/Unmatched/Downloaded
- Color-coded confidence badges (green/amber/red)
- Unmatched tracks show "→ Wishlist" status
- 32px album art thumbnails per track row
- Auto-refreshes every 30 seconds on dashboard
- Falls back gracefully for old syncs without track_results
Sync operations now store per-track data (name, artist, match status,
confidence, download status) in a new track_results column on
sync_history. Also fixed missing config_manager import in
add_to_wishlist that crashed the duplicate tracks toggle.
Users who keep manual searches in slskd as reminders were losing
them when SoulSync auto-cleaned at 200+ entries. New toggle in
Settings → Downloads → Soulseek: "Auto-clear slskd search history"
(on by default, preserving current behavior). When disabled, both
the hourly cleanup automation and the full cleanup step skip the
search history maintenance.
The dashboard status poll and hybrid connection check were pinging
slskd every 2 minutes regardless of download source, flooding logs
with connection errors when slskd wasn't running. Now only checks
slskd when the download mode is 'soulseek' or when 'soulseek' is
in the hybrid order. Hybrid mode also only checks sources in the
configured priority order instead of all six.
Route used <int:artist_id> which rejected Spotify/iTunes/Deezer
artist IDs. Changed to accept any string — tries as DB integer ID
first (verified against DB), then falls back to checking
spotify_artist_id, itunes_artist_id, deezer_artist_id columns.
Handles numeric iTunes/Deezer IDs correctly by verifying the DB
row exists before assuming it's a DB ID.
_sync_discovery_results_to_mirrored was calling get_current_profile_id()
which requires Flask's g context, but runs in a background thread.
Now captures the profile ID in the Flask endpoint (where context exists)
and passes it through the discovery state to the background worker.
Also added debug logging to trace mirrored playlist matching.
Tidal, Deezer, and Beatport discovery workers found metadata matches
but only stored them in memory and the discovery cache — never wrote
them back to the mirrored playlist tracks. This meant playlists had
to be re-discovered every time. Now writes {discovered, provider,
confidence, matched_data} to each mirrored track's extra_data after
discovery completes, matching the pattern YouTube and automation
pipeline discovery already used. Matches tracks by source_track_id
first, falls back to position index. Purely additive — discovery
logic is untouched.
get_user_playlists_metadata_only() was fetching full track lists for
every playlist sequentially (1+ API calls per playlist with 1s sleep
between pagination pages). For 20+ playlists this took 30-60 seconds.
Now returns only metadata (name, ID, track count, image) from a
single V2 API call. Track count comes from the numberOfTracks
attribute. Tracks are fetched on-demand when the user selects a
specific playlist to sync/mirror via the existing get_playlist()
endpoint.
Fresh installs now default to hybrid download mode (HiFi → YouTube →
Soulseek) instead of Soulseek-only, and Deezer as the metadata
fallback source instead of iTunes. Existing users with saved settings
are unaffected — defaults only apply when config keys don't exist.
The tooltip on failed/not_found tracks was offset by 3-6 items because
the backend cleanup step removed owned tracks from the wishlist between
when the frontend rendered the table and when the backend assigned
track indices. Surviving tracks got new enumeration indices (0,1,2...)
that didn't match their original table row positions (0,1,3,4...).
Fix: stamp each track with its position in the frontend's track_ids
array as _original_index, so the track_index always matches the modal
table row regardless of how many tracks were cleaned during processing.
Worker threads were started before paused flag was set, allowing one
loop iteration (and API call) before pause took effect. Now sets
paused=True BEFORE start() so the thread sees it immediately. Fixes
the Spotify rate limit re-trigger on every container restart for users
with paused enrichment. Also increased max-retries rate limit ban
from 1 hour to 4 hours to prevent endless retry cycles.
YouTube and ListenBrainz discovery toasts had source_label hardcoded
to 'iTunes' when not using Spotify. Now uses discovery_source.upper()
like the other discovery functions, so it correctly shows DEEZER when
Deezer is the active metadata source.
cover.jpg was always using the Spotify/iTunes thumbnail (640x640).
Now tries Cover Art Archive first (1200x1200+) when MusicBrainz
release ID is available. One line stores the MBID on album_info
during _enhance_file_metadata so _download_cover_art can use it.
Falls back to the source thumbnail if CAA has no art. Works for
all metadata sources since MusicBrainz enrichment is source-agnostic.
normalize_string() was running unidecode on all text, converting
Japanese kanji to Chinese pinyin gibberish (命の灯火 → "tvanimedei").
Now detects CJK characters (kanji, hiragana, katakana, hangul,
fullwidth forms) and skips unidecode for text containing them —
just lowercases instead. Non-CJK text (Latin accents, Cyrillic)
still goes through unidecode normally.
"Believe" was falsely matching "Believe In Me" because SequenceMatcher
gives high scores when the search string is fully contained in the
match. Added a length ratio penalty: when cleaned titles differ in
length by more than 30%, the similarity score is multiplied by the
ratio (min/max length). This crushes prefix/suffix false positives
while leaving exact matches and cleaned variants (remastered, deluxe)
unaffected.
Playlist auto-sync was dropping tracks that failed iTunes/Apple Music
discovery — they never reached the wishlist or download pipeline. Now
undiscovered tracks continue through using available metadata: first
from the spotify_hint (embed scraper data with real Spotify track ID,
name, artists), then from raw playlist fields if a source track ID
exists. Album cover art from the mirrored playlist is included. Only
tracks with no usable ID or name are skipped.
New dedicated Explorer page with interactive node graph visualization.
Users select a mirrored playlist, choose Albums or Discographies mode,
and the app builds a branching tree: playlist root → artist nodes →
album nodes → track nodes. Supports all metadata sources (Spotify,
iTunes, Deezer) with source-aware discovery cache integration.
Features:
- Streaming NDJSON builds tree progressively as artist data arrives
- Circular artist nodes with photos, rounded album nodes with art
- SVG bezier connections that draw in on completion, fade on hover
- Click artist to expand albums, double-click album for track listing
- Single-click albums to select, Select All/Deselect for bulk ops
- Wishlist confirmation modal with per-album progress (NDJSON streaming)
- Artist nodes glow when any of their albums are selected
- Playlist picker with source tabs, discovery % gate (50% minimum)
- Zoom (scroll/pinch/buttons), pan (right/middle-drag), fit-to-view
- Metadata cache for discographies and album track listings
- Owned album detection from library database
- Fallback track-name matching when album names are missing
Plain (unsynced) lyrics were being saved with .lrc extension despite
having no timestamps, making them invalid for Plex and other players
that expect LRC format. Synced lyrics now write as .lrc, plain lyrics
write as .txt. Both types still get embedded in audio file tags.
Updated all file move/rename operations to handle .txt sidecars
alongside .lrc.
Enrichment chips now show live activity: 24h call count for all
services and daily budget usage (used/3,000) with gradient progress
bar for Spotify. Tracking is centralized in _get_enrichment_status
using cumulative stat diffs over a rolling deque — no worker files
modified. Added section header, "Configure →" label for unconfigured
services, and full 1h/24h breakdown in tooltips.
Single path template was missing _artists_list and _itunes_artist_id
context keys, so the collab mode first-artist extraction in
_apply_path_template had nothing to work with — $albumartist resolved
to the full multi-artist string. Added both keys matching the exact
pattern used by album and playlist modes, including the iTunes
spotify_album.external_urls fallback. Updated settings UI hints to
show $albumartist as available for single and playlist templates.
When a user manually matched an artist to a service ID then triggered
enrichment, the worker re-searched by name, failed to find a match,
and overwrote the status back to not_found — despite the ID being
valid. Now both Genius and AudioDB workers check for existing service
IDs before searching by name. If an ID exists (from manual match),
the worker uses it for a direct API lookup to enrich metadata while
preserving the matched status. Added AudioDB lookup-by-ID client
methods for artist, album, and track.
Top-level try/except in do_GET ensures an HTTP response is always sent
— previously, unhandled exceptions caused BaseHTTPRequestHandler to
silently close the connection (ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE). All callback
logging now uses the app logger instead of print() so output appears
in app.log rather than only Docker stdout. Added health check at / to
verify the callback server is running, and startup now logs the actual
bind address to help diagnose port conflicts.
Dashboard now displays all enrichment services as live-status chips
below the core service cards. Each chip shows Running, Idle, Paused,
Stopped, or Not Configured state with color-coded left border accents.
Unconfigured services appear dimmed with dashed borders — clicking any
configurable chip navigates to Settings → Connections and scrolls to
the relevant service section.
Also fixes the Spotify card always being labeled "Apple Music" when
using iTunes fallback — card now always says "Spotify" with an amber
"Using iTunes/Deezer" indicator when fallback is active.
Qobuz login was only available on the Downloads tab when Qobuz was
selected as download source. But Qobuz credentials are also needed
for the enrichment worker which runs independently. Users saw
"Connect Qobuz in Settings" on the dashboard but couldn't find it.
Adds a Qobuz section to Settings → Connections (same pattern as
Tidal's existing Connections section). checkQobuzAuthStatus() now
syncs both the Connections and Downloads tab sections. Login from
either tab updates both. No backend changes — same API endpoints.
The tooltip only checked paused/authenticated/idle/running states.
When Spotify was rate limited or daily budget exhausted, the worker
thread was still alive (sleeping in guards) so it showed "Running"
with no current item and stale 0% progress.
Now checks rate_limited and daily_budget.exhausted before running:
- Rate limited: "Rate Limited — Waiting Xm for rate limit to clear"
- Budget exhausted: "Daily Limit Reached — Resets in Xh Xm"
- No current item: "Waiting for next item..." instead of blank
Also adds rate_limit info object to get_stats() response for the
countdown display.
Cache maintenance:
- Input validation rejects junk entities (Unknown Artist, empty names)
from being cached, with exemptions for synthetic entries (_features,
_tracks suffixes)
- CacheEvictorJob expanded to 4 phases: TTL eviction, junk cleanup,
orphaned search cleanup, MusicBrainz failed lookup cleanup
- MusicBrainz null results now expire after 30 days (was 90) so failed
lookups get retried sooner
Cache health UI:
- Polished modal accessible from Dashboard "Cache Health" button and
repair dashboard health bar
- Shows health status banner (healthy/fair/poor), stat cards, source
breakdown with colored progress bars, type pills, and metrics table
- Repair dashboard shows compact bar with health dot indicator
downloadSelectedCategory() was passing only the category name to the
download function, which fetched ALL tracks in that category. Now
collects checked track IDs from checkboxes BEFORE closing the modal
(DOM is destroyed on close), then filters the fetched tracks to only
the selected ones.
If nothing is checked, downloads the full category (same as before).
Other callers of openDownloadMissingWishlistModal are unaffected —
the new selectedTrackIds parameter defaults to null.
The auth_tidal() endpoint was overriding the user's configured
redirect_uri with one built from request.host. In Docker, request.host
is the container hostname (e.g. "soulsync-webui"), not the external
URL the user configured in settings.
Now checks config_manager for the user's configured redirect_uri first.
Only falls back to request.host dynamic detection if no redirect URI
is configured.
Album art embedding now tries Cover Art Archive first (using the
MusicBrainz release ID from source ID embedding) before falling back
to Spotify/iTunes/Deezer URLs. CAA provides original-quality artwork,
often 1200x1200 or higher vs Spotify's 640x640 max.
Reordered _embed_source_ids to run before _embed_album_art_metadata
so the MusicBrainz release ID is available for the CAA lookup. Also
fixed hardcoded 640x640 FLAC picture dimensions — now detects actual
size from image bytes. Falls back to existing behavior if CAA fails
or no release ID exists.
When the fingerprint score is >=0.95 but title/artist don't match
(e.g. English expected vs Japanese returned), SKIP instead of FAIL.
A 95%+ fingerprint means the audio IS the correct recording — the
metadata mismatch is just a language/script difference, not a wrong
file. Prevents Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and other non-Latin tracks
from being falsely quarantined.
Happy path unchanged — matching title/artist still returns PASS at
the earlier check before this code is reached.
Previously, tags.clear() only cleared in memory — if any later step
threw (metadata extraction, API calls, album art download), the file
was moved with its original Soulseek source tags intact. This caused
album fragmentation in media servers when some tracks had MusicBrainz
IDs and others didn't.
Now the cleared tags are saved to disk immediately after wiping. If
enhancement succeeds, the file is saved again with full metadata
(identical to before). If it fails, the file has clean empty tags
instead of inconsistent junk — media servers group by folder structure
which is always correct.
Replaces the fire-and-forget button with a premium modal that shows
exactly which artists will be added before confirming. Features:
- Glassmorphic modal with stat cards, two-column artist grid, search
filter, collapsible ineligible section, and loading spinner
- Source-aware filtering: only shows artists with the active source's
ID (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer) as eligible
- Frontend and backend both paginate at 400 to avoid SQLite variable
limit (SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER=999) that silently broke queries
above ~500 artists
- Backend source detection aligned with frontend — uses only the
active source's ID, falls back to configured metadata source
The bulk watchlist add had no Deezer ID support — artists with only a
deezer_id were silently skipped (artist_id stayed None). Also fixed the
source detection to use the actual ID field picked instead of a numeric
heuristic that could assign Deezer IDs to the wrong service column.
Fallback chain is now: active source first, then Spotify → iTunes → Deezer.
fix_finding() was using a potentially stale transfer_folder that was
only refreshed during scheduled job runs, not on manual fix attempts.
Now re-reads the transfer path from config before each fix, matching
the same logic used by _run_next_job().
Also surfaces fix failure reasons to the user — bulk fix now logs each
failure with finding ID and error, and the frontend toast shows the
actual error message instead of just "X failed".
When Spotify falls back to iTunes/Deezer (auth failure, rate limit, API
error), the manual match modals were storing numeric fallback IDs in
spotify_*_id columns, breaking Spotify links and metadata fetching.
Fix detects the actual provider by inspecting result IDs (alphanumeric =
Spotify, numeric = fallback) rather than checking auth status, which can
be misleading during rate limit bans. The frontend now passes the real
provider to the storage endpoint so IDs land in the correct column.
The background enrichment worker now caps itself at 3,000 processed items
per calendar day. Counter resets at midnight automatically. When exhausted,
the worker sleeps and checks every 5 minutes for a new day.
This is scoped entirely to the enrichment worker — user-initiated Spotify
API calls (searches, playlist ops, album lookups, etc.) are completely
unaffected. Budget status is exposed in the worker's get_stats() response
for the dashboard widget.
OggOpus (Mutagen) is a separate class from OggVorbis but uses the
same VorbisComment tag API. All isinstance checks for (FLAC, OggVorbis)
missed OggOpus, so tags were cleared but never rewritten — resulting
in empty metadata and "Unknown Artist" on the media server.
Added _is_ogg_opus() helper and applied to all 15 format checks in
web_server.py and 2 in core/tag_writer.py. No change to FLAC/OGG/
MP3/M4A handling (short-circuit evaluation skips the new check).
New "Download Discography" button in artist hero section opens a modal
showing the full catalog — albums, EPs, and singles — with filter
toggles, select/deselect all, and per-album owned/missing indicators.
Modal features:
- Glassmorphic design with artist image blurred background header
- Filter pills for Albums/EPs/Singles with instant grid filtering
- Album cards with cover art, year, track count, and checkbox
- Owned albums dimmed and unchecked by default, missing pre-selected
- Live NDJSON streaming: each album updates in real-time as processed
- "Process Wishlist Now" button after completion
- Albums sorted by track count (Deluxe first) to prevent duplicate
folder contexts from standard/deluxe edition ordering
Backend: NDJSON streaming endpoint POST /api/artist/<id>/download-discography
- Fetches tracks per album via active metadata client
- Adds to wishlist with dedup (no slow fuzzy matching)
- Streams one JSON line per album as it completes
- Works on both Artists search page and Library artist detail page
Added 7 new sections to version modal: Stream Source, YouTube Fix,
Completion Badges, Collab Album Handling, Per-Artist Sync, Stability
fixes. Updated helper What's New with 5 new entries.
New "Sync" button in the enhanced view header validates an artist's
library entries against files on disk. Removes stale tracks (missing
files), cleans empty albums, and updates track counts.
- POST /api/library/artist/<id>/sync endpoint
- Checks each track's file_path via _resolve_library_file_path
- Empty album cleanup checks ALL tracks (not just this artist's)
to avoid deleting albums shared with other artists
- Toast shows results: stale removed, albums cleaned, or "All files
verified" if everything checks out
- Auto-refreshes enhanced view when changes are made
The DELETE /api/library/album/<id> route used <int:album_id> which
rejected non-integer IDs (e.g., Navidrome string IDs). Flask returned
its default 404 HTML page, causing "unexpected token <" JSON parse
error on the frontend. Changed to <album_id> to match all other
album routes which already accept any ID type.
New setting in Settings → Library → File Organization: "Collaborative
Album Artist" — choose between first listed artist (default) or all
artists combined for $albumartist in folder paths and album_artist tag.
Per-source resolution:
- Spotify: artists array has separate objects — picks first directly
- Deezer: API already returns first artist only — no change needed
- iTunes: combined string ("Larry June, Curren$y & The Alchemist") —
resolves via artistId API lookup to get primary name ("Larry June").
Safe for "Tyler, the Creator" and "Simon & Garfunkel" because their
IDs resolve to the same combined name (no change).
Applied to both folder path ($albumartist template) and album_artist
metadata tag for consistency. Track artist tag always keeps all artists.
iTunes lookup only fires when source is iTunes (numeric ID + not Deezer).
Allows external apps to trigger wishlist processing without needing
to look up automation IDs. Returns 409 if already running. Uses the
same _process_wishlist_automatically function as the automation engine.
When artist-specific track search fails, falls back to album-aware
matching: finds the album by title (any artist), then checks if the
track exists on it. Fixes daily re-downloads of collaborative albums
filed under a different artist (e.g., "Spiral Staircases" tagged
under "The Alchemist" but scanned from "Larry June's" watchlist).
- check_track_exists: new album parameter, album-aware fallback with
0.8 album title threshold + 0.7 track title threshold
- Watchlist scanner: passes album_data.get('name') to track checks
- Download modal: passes batch_album_context to fallback track search
- Wishlist callers (4 spots): extract and pass track album name
- Backwards compatible: album=None default, no change for callers
without album context (singles, playlists)
The download context builder always called spotify_client.get_track_details()
first for track_number/disc_number, which fails or returns wrong data when
using Deezer/iTunes as metadata source. All tracks got track_number: 0,
defaulting to 01, and disc_number: 1.
Fix: check track_info (from frontend album data) first, then the track
object, then API call as last resort. The album tracks response already
has correct track_position and disk_number from Deezer — no API call needed.
Root cause: search_albums cached album data without release_date or
track_position. get_album_metadata accepted this incomplete cache hit
(only checked for title), never called the full API. Result: year
empty, all tracks numbered 01.
Fix: get_album_metadata now requires release_date in cache to use it.
Search results without release_date trigger a fresh /album/{id} API
call which returns complete data. Also improved track_number fallback
in download context builder when Spotify isn't configured.
Completion accuracy:
- Exact match only: "Complete" requires owned_tracks >= expected_tracks,
no more 90% rounding that hid missing tracks
- Deduplicate track counting: DISTINCT (title, track_number) prevents
duplicate album entries from inflating owned count (e.g., 3 "GNX"
entries with 12+1+2 rows counted as 12 unique tracks, not 15)
- MAX(track_count) instead of SUM for stored count — uses largest
album entry rather than summing duplicates
- file_path IS NOT NULL filter ensures only real files are counted
- Frontend uses real numbers instead of overriding missing=0 when
backend says "completed"
Multi-artist albums:
- Title-only fallback search when artist-specific search fails
- Finds "Anger Management" filed under "The Alchemist" when checking
from Rico Nasty's page
- Same confidence scoring prevents false matches
New "Scan Lookback" dropdown in the watchlist artist config modal.
Each artist can override the global lookback period (7d to entire
discography). Default is "Use Global Setting" (NULL in DB).
- Database: lookback_days INTEGER DEFAULT NULL on watchlist_artists,
auto-migrated on startup
- Scanner: checks per-artist lookback_days first, falls back to
global discovery_lookback_period if NULL
- Backend: GET/POST /api/watchlist/artist/<id>/config includes
lookback_days. Changing lookback clears last_scan_timestamp to
force a rescan with the new window
- Frontend: dropdown with 8 options in artist config modal
- Fully backwards compatible — existing artists unchanged
Background monitor checks connection every 30s. If auto_connect is
enabled and socket is dead, reconnects using saved credentials.
Exponential backoff (30s→60s→120s→max 300s) on repeated failures.
Log suppression after 3 consecutive failures to prevent spam.
Fixes: Hydrabase server restart required manual reconnect from UI.
Now recovers automatically within 30s of server becoming available.
Stream source:
- New setting in Settings → Downloads: "Stream / Preview Source"
- Options: YouTube (instant, default) or Active Download Source
- YouTube streams require no auth and are instant
- If active source is Soulseek, automatically falls back to YouTube
- Uses direct client search (bypasses orchestrator's download mode)
- Config key: download_source.stream_source
Docker:
- entrypoint.sh now runs pip install -U yt-dlp on every container
start, so Docker users always have the latest yt-dlp without
rebuilding the image
When slskd is unreachable, the download status emitter was making two
blocking API calls every 2 seconds (0.75s cache TTL), each timing out
after 5-10s. With 9 enrichment workers + WebSocket emitters competing
for threads, this created enough thread pressure to trigger Werkzeug's
"write() before start_response" race condition and crash the process.
Fix: check _status_cache (refreshed every 2 min by /status endpoint)
before calling slskd. If soulseek is known disconnected, skip both
transfers/downloads calls and return empty data. Normal behavior
resumes within 2 minutes of slskd recovering.
Bug: pausing workers via UI only called .pause() in memory — never
saved to config. On process restart (crash, OOM, Docker healthcheck),
all workers came back active, silently discarding user's changes.
Fix:
- All 18 pause/resume endpoints (9 workers × 2) now write to
config_manager: e.g. config_manager.set('spotify_enrichment_paused', True)
- All 9 worker startup blocks check config and immediately pause
if the saved state says paused
- Status endpoint already reads the same config keys (line 4217),
so dashboard display is consistent
Workers: MusicBrainz, AudioDB, Deezer, Spotify, iTunes, Last.fm,
Genius, Tidal, Qobuz
Security:
- Toggle in Settings → Advanced: "Require PIN to access SoulSync"
- Full-screen lock overlay on every page load when enabled
- PIN validated server-side against admin profile (bcrypt hash)
- Inline PIN creation if admin has no PIN set, change PIN button if set
- One-time session flag: verify-launch-pin sets it, /profiles/current
consumes it — every page load re-requires PIN
Recovery:
- "Forgot PIN?" on lock screen switches to credential verification
- User pastes any configured API key/token/secret (Spotify, Tidal,
Plex, Jellyfin, Navidrome, ListenBrainz, AcoustID, Last.fm, Genius)
- Server checks against all 9 stored values — any match clears PIN
and disables lock, with toast guiding to Settings to set a new one
Profile switch integration:
- Entering PIN during profile switch also sets launch_pin_verified
flag, preventing double-PIN prompt on the subsequent page reload
Updated version modal and helper What's New with this feature.
- Added 6 new sections to /api/version-info: Interactive Help System,
Rich Artist Profiles, Enhanced Library Manager, In Library Badges,
FLAC Bit Depth, Enrichment Worker Improvements
- Consolidated helper WHATS_NEW under v2.1 (no version bump) with
12 entries covering all recent features with Show me navigation
- Removed stale v2.2 key from WHATS_NEW that referenced unbumped version
Search results now show "In Library" badges on albums and tracks
that already exist in the user's library. Badges appear with a
staggered fade-in animation after results render (non-blocking).
- Backend: /api/enhanced-search/library-check endpoint builds
owned album/track sets in 2 queries, O(1) lookups per result
- Frontend: async call after render, 30ms stagger per badge
- Tracks in library get play button rewired for direct playback
from media server instead of searching download sources
- Fixed enhanced search album card text not visible (info div
now absolute-positioned with gradient overlay)
- Download manager panel hidden by default for more search space
Watchlist cards: removed spring-bounce transitions, staggered
animations, and multi-layer hover shadows. Added CSS containment
and will-change for smoother scrolling.
Recent releases: backfill missing album cover art on page load
via metadata source lookup. Persists found covers to database.
Two bugs preventing Deezer artist images in the watchlist:
1. web_server.py: The image fetch called get_artist() which doesn't
exist on DeezerClient. Replaced with direct Deezer API call for
picture_xl — simple and reliable.
2. music_database.py: update_watchlist_artist_image() only matched
spotify_artist_id and itunes_artist_id in the WHERE clause.
Deezer artists use deezer_artist_id, so the UPDATE matched zero
rows and the image was never saved. Added deezer_artist_id to
the WHERE clause.
The watchlist add code called fallback.get_artist() which doesn't
exist on the Deezer client (only get_artist_info). The AttributeError
was silently caught, leaving image_url as None. Now uses
get_artist_info() and falls back to a direct Deezer API call for
picture_xl when the Spotify-compatible format doesn't have images.
Artists page hero section:
- Large portrait artist photo (400x480px, rounded rectangle)
- Blurred saturated background from artist image
- 2.6em bold name with text shadow
- Real service logo badges (Spotify, MusicBrainz, Deezer, iTunes,
Last.fm, Genius, Tidal, Qobuz) — matching library page
- Genre pills merged from metadata cache + Last.fm tags
- Last.fm bio with read more/show less toggle
- Last.fm listener count + playcount stats (large bold numbers)
- Backend enriches discography response with artist_info from
metadata cache + library (all service IDs, Last.fm data, genres)
Album/Single/EP cards:
- Full-bleed cover art filling entire card with gradient overlay
- Album name + year overlaid at bottom over dark gradient
- Image zoom on hover, accent glow for dynamic-glow cards
- Responsive grid (220px desktop, 170px tablet, 140px mobile)
Similar artist cards:
- Full-bleed image cards matching library artist card style
- Gradient overlay with name at bottom, aspect-ratio 0.8
- Grid-controlled sizing via existing responsive breakpoints
Genre explorer (multi-source):
- Queries all allowed sources (iTunes+Deezer always, Spotify when
authed) via _get_genre_allowed_sources() helper
- Deezer genre support: genre_id mapping from search results,
one-time backfill from stored raw_json, album-to-artist propagation
- Genre deep dive deduplicates artists across sources
- Source dots on artists/tracks in deep dive modal
- Artist clicks route through source-specific client
- Album endpoint falls back across sources when IDs don't match
- Genre explorer cached 24hr in-memory, positioned at top of
Discover page below hero slider
All changes mobile responsive with proper breakpoints.
Genre explorer and deep dive modal now combine data from all available
metadata sources (iTunes + Deezer always, Spotify when authenticated).
Artists are deduplicated by name across sources, preferring entries
with images. Source dots (green/red/purple) indicate data origin.
Deezer genre support:
- Extract genre_id from Deezer album search responses via ID-to-name
mapping table (26 Deezer genre categories)
- Extract full genre names from Deezer get_album responses
- One-time backfill updates existing cached albums from stored raw_json
- Propagate album genres to Deezer artist entities
Cross-source album routing:
- /api/discover/album endpoint uses source-specific client (iTunes or
Deezer) based on the item's source, not just the active fallback
- Spotify path falls back to active fallback when album not found
- Track clicks use album_id directly instead of name-based resolution
- resolve-cache-album adds partial match and live search fallback
Other fixes:
- Genre explorer positioned at top of Discover page (below hero)
- Genre explorer results cached 24hr in-memory for fast reload
- Related genres computed from all albums by matched artists
- Artist clicks open Artists page with discography (not library detail)
- Discovery pool genre queries restored to source-filtered (Browse by
Genre tabs stay source-isolated as designed)
Discovery pool lists (matched and failed) now have a search input
that filters tracks client-side by name, artist, or playlist.
Matched tracks get a "Rematch" button that opens the fix modal in
cache-only mode — deletes the old cache entry and saves the new
match directly to the discovery cache via /api/discovery-pool/rematch.
This works regardless of whether a mirrored playlist track exists.
Failed tracks retain the existing "Fix Match" flow unchanged.
The album-aware search (_detect_album_info_album_context) was forcing
is_album=True for every track found in any release, including singles.
This routed singles through the album_path template instead of
single_path, ignoring the user's $albumtype folder structure.
Now applies the same classification logic as _detect_album_info_web:
checks album_type, total_tracks, and name comparisons to correctly
distinguish albums from singles/EPs. Works for all metadata sources
(Spotify, iTunes, Deezer) since all album objects have album_type.
Streaming sources (Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, HiFi, YouTube) were blindly
trusted with confidence 1.0 — all search results passed through without
any matching. When searching common track titles like "Die for You",
the most popular version (The Weeknd) could be downloaded instead of
the intended artist (Grabbitz/Valorant).
Now verifies each streaming result's artist and title against the
expected track before accepting it. Artist must substring-match or
have >=0.6 similarity; title needs >=0.5 similarity. Results sorted
by title confidence. If nothing passes, falls through to the standard
matching engine instead of silently downloading the wrong track.
Enhanced album reorganize now moves LRC, cover.jpg, folder.jpg and other
sidecar files alongside audio files. Added debug log to library reorganize
repair job showing which template is loaded from config vs default.
When fetching tracks from a followed playlist returns 403 (owner made it
private or API scope insufficient), fall back to the public embed scraper
which doesn't need API auth. Tracks still load with basic metadata.
Major version bump with 40+ commits of features and fixes:
- Deezer as 6th download source (ARL auth, FLAC/MP3, Blowfish decrypt)
- Cache-powered discovery: 5 sections + Genre Deep Dive modal
- Listening Stats page with charts and play buttons
- Picard-style MB release preflight for consistent album tagging
- Album Tag Consistency repair job
- Unified glass UI across dashboard, sync, and modals
- Mobile responsive overhaul for all pages
- Enrichment fixes: retry loops, rate limits, worker pause during scans
- AcoustID skip for trusted API sources
Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, and HiFi download by exact track ID from official
APIs — files are guaranteed correct. AcoustID fingerprinting only runs
for Soulseek (P2P) and YouTube (extracted audio) where mislabeling is
possible. Users with AcoustID disabled see no change.
- Added deezer_dl to 7 hardcoded streaming source username tuples in web_server
- Streaming sources now bypass Soulseek filename-matching engine in get_valid_candidates
(API search results are already properly matched, no need for P2P filename scoring)
- Fixes download progress tracking, completion detection, and candidate filtering for Deezer
Before album tracks start post-processing, pre-populate the MusicBrainz
release cache with ONE verified release. All tracks then hit the cache
during per-track processing and get the same release MBID — no second pass,
no file lock contention, tags correct on first write.
Handles edition name mismatches (Spotify says 'Super Deluxe', MB says
just the base name) by stripping qualifiers and searching again.
Validates track count to pick the right edition. Three download paths
covered: download missing modal, enhanced album, and matched album.
All 11 background workers (9 enrichment + repair + SoulID) pause when a DB
scan starts and resume when it finishes. Tracks which workers were running
so manually-paused workers stay paused after scan. Covers incremental,
full refresh, deep scan, automation-triggered, and startup scans.
Embed scraper was pre-marking spotify_public tracks as discovered with
playlist-level images instead of per-track album art. Discover step then
skipped them entirely. Now stores spotify_hint (track ID) without marking
discovered, so Discover runs proper API lookups for real album art.
Event-triggered automations now receive playlist_id from the triggering event
when the action config doesn't have one set. Fixes silent 'No playlist specified'
failures in Discover/Sync chains. Added debug logging to trace event matching.
- Stats page: database storage donut chart with per-table breakdown and total size
- Discover page: 5 new sections mined from metadata cache (zero API calls):
Undiscovered Albums, New In Your Genres, From Your Labels, Deep Cuts, Genre Explorer
- Genre Deep Dive modal: artists (clickable → artist page), popular tracks,
albums with download flow, related genre pills, in-library badges
- All cache queries filtered by active metadata source (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer)
- Stale cache entries (404) gracefully fall back to name+artist resolution
- Album cards show "In Library" badge, artist avatars scaled by prominence
Integrates play history data into the discovery algorithm:
- Listening profile: _get_listening_profile() builds user's top artists,
genres, play counts, and listening velocity from the last 30 days
- Artist genre cache: pre-built from local DB for O(1) genre lookups
- Release Radar: +10 genre affinity, +15 artist familiarity, -10 overplay
penalty. Weights rebalanced to 45% recency + 25% popularity + bonuses
- Discovery Weekly: serendipity scoring within tiers — boosts unheard
artists in preferred genres, penalizes overplayed artists
- Recent Albums: adaptive time window (21-60 days) based on listening
velocity — heavy listeners get fresher content, casual listeners more
- New "Because You Listen To" sections: personalized carousels based on
user's top 3 played artists via similar artists + genre fallback
- New endpoint: /api/discover/because-you-listen-to with artist images
- Frontend: BYLT sections with artist photo headers on discover page
- All changes gracefully fall back when no listening data exists
Full stats dashboard that polls Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome for play
history and presents it with Chart.js visualizations:
Backend:
- ListeningStatsWorker polls active server every 30 min
- listening_history DB table with dedup, play_count/last_played on tracks
- get_play_history() and get_track_play_counts() for all 3 servers
- Pre-computed cache for all time ranges (7d/30d/12m/all) rebuilt each sync
- Single cached endpoint serves all stats data instantly
- Stats query methods: top artists/albums/tracks, timeline, genres, health
Frontend:
- New Stats nav page with glassmorphic container matching dashboard style
- Overview cards (plays, time, artists, albums, tracks) with accent hover
- Listening timeline bar chart (Chart.js)
- Genre breakdown doughnut chart with legend
- Top artists visual bubbles with profile pictures + ranked list
- Top albums and tracks ranked lists with album art
- Library health: format breakdown bar, unplayed count, enrichment coverage
- Recently played timeline with relative timestamps
- Time range pills with instant switching via cache
- Sync Now button with spinner, last synced timestamp
- Clickable artist names navigate to library artist detail
- Last.fm global listeners shown alongside personal play counts
- SoulID badges on matched artists
- Empty state when no data synced yet
- Mobile responsive layout
DB migrations: listening_history table, play_count/last_played columns,
all with idempotent CREATE IF NOT EXISTS / PRAGMA checks.
Opus ffmpeg command now uses -map 0:a to extract only the audio stream,
matching the user's working command and preventing picture stream
interference with the encoder. After conversion, cover art is embedded
from the source FLAC using Mutagen: Opus gets METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE
(base64-encoded per OGG spec), AAC gets MP4Cover. Applied to both
the post-download lossy copy and the repair job fix handler.
- Add get_artist_top_tracks to Last.fm client (up to 100 tracks)
- Include lastfm_listeners, lastfm_playcount, lastfm_tags, lastfm_bio,
and soul_id in artist detail API response
- New endpoint: /api/artist/<id>/lastfm-top-tracks for lazy loading
- Hero layout: image (160px) | center (name, badges, genres, bio,
listener/play stats, progress bars) | right card (scrollable top
100 tracks from Last.fm)
- Badges 36px with hover lift, bio in subtle card with Read More
toggle, Last.fm tags merged with existing genres
- Numbers formatted: 1234567 → 1.2M
- Graceful degradation: sections hidden when Last.fm data unavailable
Lossy copy now supports MP3, Opus, and AAC (M4A) codecs with a
configurable dropdown in settings. Each codec uses the appropriate
ffmpeg encoder (libmp3lame/libopus/aac) and Mutagen tag writer
(ID3/Vorbis/MP4). Quality tag, filename substitution, and Blasphemy
Mode file cleanup all work per-codec. Backward compatible — existing
configs default to MP3.
get_current_profile_id() uses Flask's g object which doesn't exist
in background threads. Now profile_id is captured at request time
and passed as a parameter to _run_sync_task. All 8 call sites
updated. Automation path defaults to profile_id=1.
Orphan detector: add normalized tag matching that strips parentheticals
and brackets (feat. X, [FLAC 16bit], etc.) and tries first-artist-only
for comma-separated artists. Prevents false orphan flags for tracks
like "The Mountain (feat. Dennis Hopper...)" that exist in DB as
"The Mountain". All lookups remain O(1) set operations.
Orphan fix: replace auto-delete with user choice prompt. Single Fix
and Fix All both show modal asking "Move to Staging" or "Delete".
Move to Staging relocates file to import staging folder for proper
re-import with metadata matching. Fix action flows through API
endpoint → repair_worker.fix_finding → _fix_orphan_file handler.
Staging path uses docker_resolve_path for container compatibility.
SoulID worker generates deterministic soul IDs for all library entities:
- Artists: hash(name + debut_year) — searches iTunes + Deezer APIs,
verifies correct artist by matching discography against local DB
albums via MusicMatchingEngine, pools years from both sources and
picks the earliest. Falls back to hash(name) if no match found.
- Albums: hash(artist + album)
- Tracks: song ID hash(artist + track) + album ID hash(artist + album + track)
Dashboard button with trans2.png logo, rainbow spinner, hover tooltip.
Worker orb with rainbow effect. SoulSync badge on library artist cards.
DB migration adds soul_id columns with indexes to artists/albums/tracks.
Migration version flag auto-resets artist soul IDs when algorithm changes.
1. Fix filename parser pattern order — "01 - Title" now matched
before "Artist - Title", preventing track numbers being treated
as artist names (e.g., "08" no longer becomes the artist)
2. Tag priority over filename parsing — shared _read_staging_file_metadata()
helper reads title, artist, albumartist, album, track_number, disc_number
from Mutagen tags. Only falls back to filename parsing when BOTH title
AND artist tags are empty. Applied to all 3 staging scan sites.
3. Improved match scoring — rebalanced from title(0.5)+tracknum(0.5) to
title(0.45)+artist(0.15)+tracknum(0.30)+album_bonus(0.10). Files
whose album tag matches the selected album get boosted.
4. Auto-group detection — new /api/import/staging/groups endpoint groups
staging files by album+artist tags. Frontend shows "Auto-Detected
Albums" section with one-click search. Match endpoint accepts
optional file_paths filter to scope matching to a specific group.
- Use correct server request types: 'tracks', 'albums', 'artists',
'artist.albums', 'album.tracks' (were singular, caused timeouts)
- Normalize artists to strings (server may send dicts)
- Use native plugin IDs (iTunes/Spotify) instead of soul_id for
album/artist/track IDs so downstream endpoints can resolve them
- Carry soul_id and plugin_id in external_urls for routing
- Pass plugin param from frontend to server for correct client routing
(iTunes vs Deezer vs Spotify) with isdigit() fallback
- Route source=hydrabase to iTunes client for artist images
- Include external_urls in enhanced search API response
- Reduce WebSocket timeout from 15s to 8s
- Remove stale hydrabase.enabled check, use is_connected() directly
- Add hydrabase to frontend alternate source fetch list
- Normalize Hydrabase artists to strings (server may send dicts),
fixing silent crashes that prevented albums/tracks from appearing
Post-processing now extracts release year from MusicBrainz, Deezer,
Tidal, Qobuz, and Spotify context (first source wins). Writes
ORIGINALDATE and DATE tags to file, and backfills the album year
in the DB if currently missing. Fixes Library Reorganize showing
blank years for Tidal-only downloads.
Also raises Library Reorganize API year lookup cap from 50 to 200.
- Add debouncedAutoSaveSettings() to moveHybridSource and toggleHybridSource
- Skip unconfigured sources at search time with is_configured() check
- Add get_source_status() to orchestrator, include in settings API response
- Auto-disable unconfigured sources in UI on settings load
Album pre-flight now tries 3 query variations instead of one:
full artist+album, cleaned artist+album (no feat./parentheticals),
and album-only. Stops at first success. Fixes cases where a banned
keyword in the artist name caused zero results, falling back to
slower track-by-track search unnecessarily.
Post-processing: Extract 7 inline source lookup blocks into standalone
_pp_lookup_* functions called in configurable order via
metadata_enhancement.post_process_order config. Default order matches
original hardcoded sequence — zero behavioral change.
Hydrabase: Fix connected Hydrabase incorrectly becoming primary source.
_is_hydrabase_active() now only returns True in dev_mode (legacy).
Auto-connect no longer forces dev_mode. Hydrabase as fallback works
through normal _get_metadata_fallback_client path like iTunes/Deezer.
Settings button min-width fix.
- Remove redundant enable checkbox — fallback dropdown is the enable
- Hydrabase option only appears in dropdown when connected
- Connect/disconnect dynamically adds/removes dropdown option
- _is_hydrabase_active checks fallback_source == hydrabase (not config toggle)
- Fallback client returns hydrabase_client when selected, iTunes if disconnected
- Auto-reconnect respects fallback selection for dev_mode handling
- hydrabase added to settings save service list for persistence
- Status shows green Connected on page load when auto-connected
Hydrabase appears as a switchable source tab alongside Spotify/iTunes/
Deezer when connected and enabled. Added to alternate_sources list and
enhanced-search/source endpoint. Tab only shows when Hydrabase is
available — zero change when disconnected.
Add Hydrabase section to Settings → Connections with enable toggle,
WebSocket URL, API key, auto-connect, and connect/disconnect button.
_is_hydrabase_active() now checks hydrabase.enabled config in addition
to dev_mode — either path activates it. Default disabled, zero change
for existing users. Dev admin page stays behind dev mode password.
Adds Tidal per-profile OAuth with token storage on profile row.
Auth initiation stores profile_id in PKCE state, callback detects
it and stores encrypted tokens per-profile instead of globally.
Personal settings modal now shows Spotify, Tidal, Server Library,
and ListenBrainz sections for non-admin profiles. Admin sees only
ListenBrainz (unchanged). Server library selection wired into
playlist sync via _apply_profile_library.
Full per-profile support: Spotify (credentials + OAuth + playlists),
Tidal (OAuth + token storage), server library (Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome),
ListenBrainz (existing). All backwards compatible — upgrading users
see zero change.
PlaylistSyncService now accepts profile_id and applies per-profile
library selection before syncing. _apply_profile_library sets Plex
library name or Jellyfin user/library on the client based on the
profile's saved preferences. All existing _get_active_media_client
calls automatically pick up the active profile via instance state.
Admin and profiles without custom library settings: zero change.
get_spotify_client_for_profile() returns the right SpotifyClient for
the active profile. Admin and profiles without custom creds get the
global client (zero behavioral change). Profiles with custom creds
get a dedicated cached instance with separate OAuth token storage.
Playlist listing endpoint now uses per-profile client so non-admin
users with their own Spotify credentials see their own playlists.
DB migration adds 11 columns to profiles table for per-profile Spotify
credentials, Tidal tokens, and media server library selection. All
encrypted, all default NULL (fall back to global config).
API endpoints follow existing ListenBrainz per-profile pattern:
- GET/POST/DELETE /api/profiles/me/spotify
- GET/POST /api/profiles/me/server-library
Foundation only — no frontend UI or client initialization changes yet.
Workers would endlessly match the same track because UPDATE WHERE id =
NULL matches 0 rows in SQL. Added AND id IS NOT NULL to all enrichment
queries (individual, batch EXISTS, and batch fetch) across all 9
workers. Also added process-level guard for belt-and-suspenders safety.
Fix Deezer get_track → get_track_details method name mismatch.
Stamp _original_index on tracks before submitting to download processor
so task indices match frontend modal row order. Sanitization and
filtering could reorder tracks, causing the backend to assign indices
that didn't match the displayed rows. Visual-only fix — actual
downloads were always correct.
All 6 playlist sync endpoints now accept download_complete phase so
users can re-sync after downloading. Added Rediscover button to
discovered and download_complete states (YouTube + Beatport). Added
full button set (Sync, Download Missing, Rediscover) for
download_complete which previously showed no buttons at all.
- Only emit batch_complete automation event when successful_downloads > 0
- Remove int() cast on album_id in _fix_incomplete_album — Plex/Jellyfin
use hash/text IDs that SQLite stores as-is in INTEGER columns
- Use string comparison for album_id equality check
Replace fixed primary/secondary hybrid dropdowns with an ordered list
of all 5 download sources. Users enable/disable each source and reorder
with up/down arrows to set download priority. Sources are tried in
order until one returns results.
- New hybrid_order config field (backward compat with legacy primary/secondary)
- Download orchestrator loops ordered list with per-source error handling
- Sortable source list UI with icons, toggle switches, priority numbers
- Source-specific settings shown for all enabled hybrid sources
- Seamless migration from legacy 2-source to N-source format
Before searching Soulseek/YouTube, checks the staging folder for a
matching file using tag-based or filename-based fuzzy matching. On match,
copies the file to the transfer folder and runs normal post-processing
(tagging, AcoustID, path organization). Staging scan is cached per batch
to avoid re-walking for every track.
Search results now show switchable tabs for alternate metadata sources.
Primary source renders immediately, alternate sources load in parallel
and tabs appear progressively as each completes.
- New /api/enhanced-search/source/<name> endpoint for per-source queries
- Source-aware routing via ?source= param on discography, album tracks,
album detail, and artist image endpoints (prevents numeric ID
misrouting between iTunes and Deezer)
- Source override stored on artistsPageState for consistent navigation
- Tabs styled with source brand colors, show result counts
- All additive — users who ignore tabs see zero behavioral change
- Add max_peer_queue setting to skip peers with long queues (soft filter
with fallback to unfiltered if all results removed)
- Add download_timeout setting replacing hardcoded 10-minute limit
- Include quality_score (peer health: upload speed, free slots, queue
length) in result ranking — was calculated but never used in sort key
- New UI controls in Soulseek settings section
- Frontend was concatenating Track and Artist inputs into a single
query string, causing Spotify to return mixed results matching
either word in any field. Now sends track and artist as separate
params; backend builds field-filtered query (track:X artist:Y).
- Result limit was silently capped at 10 in spotify_client.search_tracks
via min(limit, 10). Raised to respect requested limit up to
Spotify's API max of 50.
- iTunes fallback endpoint updated with same field-specific params.
- Legacy ?query= param still supported for backward compatibility.
Fixes#194
- Duplicate `spotify` key in saveSettings() object literal caused
second definition (embed_tags/tags) to silently overwrite the first
(client_id/client_secret/redirect_uri), destroying credentials on
every save. Merged into single key.
- authenticateSpotify() and authenticateTidal() now await saveSettings()
before opening auth window, ensuring credentials are persisted.
- Tidal auth now dynamically sets redirect_uri from request host for
LAN/Docker users and stores it in tidal_oauth_state so the callback
token exchange uses the same URI.
Fixes#191
Preflight: hash track IDs before syncing and compare against last sync.
Skip only if exact same tracks were already synced and all matched.
Replaces the old count-based smart-skip which could miss track swaps.
Sync history: update existing entry for same playlist_id instead of
creating duplicates. Re-syncing the same playlist now refreshes the
existing row with new timestamps and stats.
Metadata sources (Deezer/iTunes/Spotify) return separate entries for
Explicit/Clean/Remastered variants of the same album. Normalize titles
by stripping variant suffixes and group by name+year, keeping the
version with the most tracks or preferring explicit.
Playlist refresh was storing matched_data.album as a bare string with
no images dict. When unmatched tracks were added to the wishlist, they
showed as 'Unknown Album' with no cover art. Now all three playlist
import paths (authenticated API, public scraper, spotify_public) store
album as a proper dict with name and images array, matching the format
used by the discovery worker.
Track count heuristics were overriding the album_type field from
Spotify/iTunes/Deezer, forcing any release with <=3 tracks into
singles and 4-6 tracks into EPs regardless of actual album type.
Now trusts the source's album_type directly.
Replace category-based tag settings (10 toggles) with per-tag controls
grouped by source service in an accordion UI. Each of the 11 service
groups (Spotify, iTunes, MusicBrainz, Deezer, AudioDB, Tidal, Qobuz,
Last.fm, Genius, General) has a master toggle that disables all child
tags, with individual toggles for fine-grained control. ISRC and
copyright fallback chains are now per-source toggleable. Genre merge
contributions from each source are independently controllable. All
tags default to enabled for backward compatibility.
Post-processing now writes all 18 MusicBrainz tags that Picard writes:
Release Group ID, Album Artist ID, Release Track ID, Release Type,
Status, Country, Original Date, Media, Barcode, Catalog #, ASIN,
Script, Total Discs (plus the 5 already supported). One cached API
call per album via get_release with recordings include.
New "Tags to Embed" settings section with 10 category toggles (all
enabled by default): MusicBrainz IDs, Release Info, Source IDs, ISRC,
BPM, Mood & Style, Copyright & Label, Genre Merging, URLs, Quality.
Each shows inline description of what it includes.
Multiple code paths built wishlist album data as a bare string instead
of a dict with images/album_type/total_tracks, causing wishlist entries
to lose album name and artwork. Fixed in: Beatport fallback conversion,
sync normalization, _ensure_spotify_track_format, and wishlist service
track reconstruction. Now uses track name as album fallback and always
includes required album dict keys.
- Fix enrichment progress never updating: remove `continue` that skipped
progress_callback for successful tracks in enrich_chart_tracks
- Split chart/extract into two-step flow: extract raw tracks, then enrich
via polling endpoint with live progress overlay updates
- Move Beatport enrichment cache to persistent metadata cache system
- Fix metadata cache detail modal for Beatport (URL entity_ids with slashes)
- Add per-source Clear dropdown (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer/Beatport) to cache browser
- Remove debug logging from enrichment progress tracking
When the maintenance worker flags an incomplete album, users can now
click "Auto-Fill" to automatically locate missing tracks in the library,
move/copy them into the album folder, and apply full metadata enhancement
(MusicBrainz, Deezer, cover art, etc.). Singles are moved; tracks from
multi-track albums are copied. Quality gate prevents filling FLAC albums
with lossy files. Tracks not found in library are added to wishlist with
album context for auto-download.
- Persistent download bubble cards on Beatport page and dashboard,
matching the existing artist/search bubble UX with click-to-reopen,
green checkmark on completion, and snapshot persistence
- In-memory enrichment cache (2h TTL, thread-safe) skips re-scraping
when the same chart is clicked twice
- Batch enrichment replaces one-by-one HTTP requests with a single
POST, using WebSocket progress events for overlay updates
- Fix _beatportModalOpening guard blocking modal open after fast
cached enrichment by resetting the flag in openBeatportChartAsDownloadModal
- Hide Browse/My Playlists tabs — Browse is now the only Beatport view
- New sync_history DB table tracks last 100 syncs with full cached context
- Records history for all sync types: Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, YouTube,
Beatport, ListenBrainz, Mirrored playlists, and Download Missing flows
- Sync History button on sync page with modal showing entries, source
filter tabs, stats badges, and pagination
- Re-sync button: server syncs expand card inline with live progress bar,
matched/failed counts, and cancel button; download syncs open download modal
- Re-syncs update the original entry (moves to top) instead of creating duplicates
- Delete button (x) on each entry with smooth remove animation
- Fix mirrored playlist source detection (youtube_mirrored_ matched youtube_)
- Fix broken server import thumbnails with URL validation
Clicking any Beatport item now opens the download modal directly instead of
going through the discovery flow (scrape → chart card → discovery modal →
Spotify/iTunes matching → download).
Releases (albums/EPs) open as album downloads with full context.
Charts/playlists (Top 100, Featured Charts, DJ Charts, Top 10) open as
playlist downloads with per-track enrichment — each track's individual
Beatport page is visited to get release name, duration, artwork, BPM, key,
genre, and label.
Key changes:
- Add get_release_metadata() and enrich_chart_tracks() to scraper
- Add /api/beatport/release-metadata and /api/beatport/enrich-tracks endpoints
- Rewrite all Beatport click handlers to open download modal directly
- Per-track enrichment with live progress overlay (one-by-one fetching)
- Split combined artist strings so folder paths use primary artist only
- Prevent Beatport IDs from being written to Spotify tag fields
- Add beatport_release_ prefix detection for album download mode
- Support enrich=false query param for frontend-driven enrichment
Replace all hardcoded styled-components class selectors (with build hashes
that break on every Beatport deploy) with partial class name matches using
[class*="prefix"] pattern. Applies to new releases endpoint and hero
release scraper.
Add album_type and total_tracks fields to Track dataclass, populate from
Spotify/iTunes/Deezer API responses, and apply a small tiebreaker bonus
(+0.02 for albums, +0.01 for EPs) in all matching loops so album versions
win when confidence scores are otherwise equal.
All discovery workers (playlist, Tidal, Deezer, Spotify Public, YouTube,
ListenBrainz, Beatport) built album_data dicts without release_date when
using fallback metadata sources. The Track dataclass had release_date
available but it was never extracted into album_data, causing $year to
resolve as empty in file path templates.
New toggle under Post-Download Conversion: automatically converts 24-bit
or high sample rate FLAC files to 16-bit/44.1kHz after download, replacing
the original. Uses ffmpeg with temp file + verify + atomic swap for safety.
Runs before lossy copy so MP3s are made from the downsampled version.
Also prevents bit depth strict mode from rejecting files that will be
downsampled anyway.
The fallback download path (playlists, discovery, sync) built spotify_album_context
from track_info.album which can be a plain string (no release_date) for discovery
playlists or missing metadata. Now backfills release_date, album_type, total_tracks,
and album name from the existing get_track_details API call — zero extra API calls.
Also adds total_discs passthrough for fallback path parity.
Mirrored playlist discovery results are cached per-track in extra_data with
the provider that discovered them. When the user switches metadata source
(e.g. Spotify → Deezer), prepare-discovery was serving stale data from the
old provider — wrong IDs, empty albums, no cover art. Now it compares the
cached provider against the current active source and invalidates mismatched
entries, forcing a clean re-discovery with the correct provider.
Root cause: discovery searches return (Track, raw_data, confidence) but
raw_data can be None (Strategy 4 extended search) or have mismatched index.
When raw_data is None, album_obj becomes {} — an empty dict that passes
normalization unchanged, so album name is never populated.
Fix: after extracting album_obj from raw_data, fall back to track_obj.album
(always populated from the SpotifyTrack dataclass) when album_obj has no
name. Applied to all 3 discovery paths (Deezer, Tidal, Spotify Public).
Also handle both string and dict album formats in wishlist UI rendering.
The normalization loop was modifying dict objects shared with the
SpotifyTrack construction loop. SpotifyTrack.artists expects List[str]
but normalization converted to [{'name': ...}] dicts. Use dict(t) copy
so original tracks_json is untouched.
- Bump confirm dialog z-index to 200000 (both #confirm-modal-overlay and
.confirmation-modal-overlay) so they always appear above all other modals
- Normalize track data in _run_sync_task before storing in original_tracks_map:
album as dict {'name': ...} and artists as [{'name': ...}] — fixes all
source converters (Deezer, YouTube, Tidal, Spotify Public, ListenBrainz,
Beatport) whose fallback paths stored plain strings, causing the wishlist
UI to show "Unknown Album" for every synced track
- Switch user automations to 2-column grid layout (matches system automations)
- Add duplicate button on non-system cards with POST /api/automations/<id>/duplicate
- Add search/filter bar (text search + trigger/action dropdowns) shown at 6+ automations
- Add Inspiration section with 8 starter templates that pre-fill the builder
- Add folder-style automation grouping with group_name DB column, dropdown
popover for assignment, collapsible group sections, and builder group input
Sync now compares current discovered track count against last sync's
matched count. Skips when all discovered tracks are already on the server.
Re-syncs when wishlist may have downloaded missing tracks since last sync.
Saves matched/discovered/total counts to sync status after each run.
Enables putting sync on a schedule without wasting resources — it skips
instantly when nothing changed and only runs when there's something new.
- Set album_name from embed entity for album-type Spotify public scrapes
- Log warning and show skip status when Tidal not authenticated during refresh
- Only emit discovery_completed event when new tracks were actually discovered,
preventing unnecessary sync triggers when retrying the same failed matches
- Exclude file and beatport playlists from refresh (no external API)
- Hide Spotify library playlists from refresh dropdown when not authenticated
- Add spotify_public refresh handler using public embed scraper via stored URL
- Fix YouTube refresh to use stored description URL instead of hash-based source_id
- API returns source and spotify auth status for frontend filtering
YouTube URL hash used Python's hash() which is randomized per process restart,
causing pill re-clicks to create duplicates instead of upserts. Replaced with
deterministic hashlib.md5 of canonical URL. Includes auto-migration to deduplicate
existing entries and update their source_playlist_id.
Also adds mirrored playlist refresh support for Spotify (public embed scraper
fallback when not authenticated) and Deezer playlists.
- Query/update watchlist artists by deezer_artist_id in config endpoint
- Return deezer_artist_id in config response and recent albums response
- Add Deezer provider badge (purple) to linked provider section
- Detect Deezer vs iTunes for provider linking using fallback source setting
- Show "X fans" instead of "Pop: 0" for Deezer artist search results
- Include followers count in match/search artist response
- Add deezer_artist_id matching to library enrichment and recent releases queries
- personalized_playlists._get_active_source() now returns 'deezer' when
configured instead of always falling back to 'itunes'
- Add deezer_track_id to _build_track_dict() for discovery pool tracks
- Include album_deezer_id and artist_deezer_id in get_discovery_recent_albums()
response — fixes "No deezer album ID available" error when clicking cards
- Skip Spotify library section entirely when Spotify is not authenticated
Per-job and per-status filtering — respects active toolbar filters so
users can clear e.g. only track number findings or only dismissed items.
Confirmation uses the app's styled modal instead of browser confirm().
Shows which metadata sources each artist is matched to with small
colored badges on the card. Also adds deezer_artist_id to the
watchlist API response and fixes the data-artist-id fallback chain
to include Deezer-only artists.
Users can now choose between iTunes/Apple Music and Deezer as their free
metadata source in Settings. Spotify always takes priority when authenticated;
the fallback handles all lookups when it's not.
Core changes:
- DeezerClient: full metadata interface (search, albums, artists, tracks)
matching iTunesClient's API surface with identical dataclass return types
- SpotifyClient: configurable _fallback property switches between iTunes/Deezer
based on live config reads (no restart needed)
- MetadataService, web_server, watchlist_scanner, api/search, repair_worker,
seasonal_discovery, personalized_playlists: all direct iTunesClient imports
replaced with fallback-aware helpers
Database:
- deezer_artist_id on watchlist_artists and similar_artists tables
- deezer_track_id/album_id/artist_id on discovery_pool and discovery_cache
- Full CRUD for Deezer IDs: add, read, update, backfill, metadata enrichment
- Watchlist duplicate detection by artist name prevents re-adding across sources
- SimilarArtist dataclass and all query/insert methods handle Deezer columns
Bug fixes found during review:
- Similar artist backfill was writing Deezer IDs into iTunes columns
- Discover hero was storing resolved Deezer IDs in wrong column
- Status cache not invalidating on settings save (source name lag)
- Watchlist add allowing duplicates when switching metadata sources
Two issues fixed:
1. Download Missing modal fallback path hardcoded release_date: '' and
discarded album metadata that discovery had already found on track_info.
Now extracts release_date, image_url, album_type, and total_tracks from
the enriched track data, fixing empty $year for all non-album-page
downloads (playlist syncs, wishlist, Tidal/streaming sources).
2. _sanitize_context_values turned empty strings into '_' via
_sanitize_filename, so template cleanup regex couldn't match empty
brackets like (). Now skips sanitization for empty strings so the
existing () [] {} cleanup works correctly.
New library_history table logs every completed download and every new
track imported from Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome. A "History" button next
to "Recent Activity" on the dashboard opens a modal with Downloads and
Server Imports tabs, album art thumbnails, quality/source badges, and
pagination.
New download mode alongside Soulseek, YouTube, Tidal, and Qobuz. Uses
community-run REST API instances (no auth required) that serve Tidal CDN
FLAC streams. Features quality fallback chain (hires→lossless→high→low),
automatic instance rotation on failure, and full hybrid mode support.
Also fixes 6 missing streaming source checks for HiFi and Qobuz in the
frontend that were blocking playback with "format not supported" errors.
Scrapes Spotify's embed endpoint to extract track data from any public
playlist or album URL. Full discovery flow with Deezer parity: parse →
card → discovery modal → live progress → sync → download missing.
- New scraper: core/spotify_public_scraper.py (embed endpoint parsing)
- 12 API endpoints mirroring Deezer's discovery/sync/download flow
- WebSocket live discovery updates via spotify_public_discovery_states
- Green-branded tab, cards, and input styling (#1DB954)
- Album vs playlist detection with distinct card icons (💿/🎵)
- Download persistence: card click reopens download modal after close
- Card phase reset on cancel/completion (closeDownloadMissingModal)
- Backend download linking for spotify_public_ and deezer_ prefixes
- Completion handlers (V2 + no-missing-tracks) for both platforms
- Source URLs stored on mirrored playlists for future auto-refresh
Southern hemisphere users now see correct seasons (e.g. March = Autumn,
December = Summer). Holidays (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's) stay
calendar-fixed regardless of hemisphere.
- Hemisphere dropdown in Discovery Pool Settings
- GET/POST /api/discovery/hemisphere endpoints
- Season detection offsets months by 6 for southern hemisphere
- Stored in metadata table, defaults to northern
- All 9 repair jobs now emit report_progress() for real-time card updates
(phase, log lines, per-item activity) via WebSocket repair:progress events
- Enrich finding details with album/artist thumb URLs across all repair jobs
(dead_file, duplicate, metadata_gap, album_completeness, missing_cover_art,
acoustid_scanner, track_number_repair, fake_lossless, orphan_file)
- Track number repair: return match_score from fuzzy matching, add suffix-based
DB lookup for album/artist art (handles cross-environment path mismatches)
- Fix Plex/Jellyfin relative thumb URLs in findings endpoint via fix_artist_image_url
- Labeled media cards in finding detail panels (album title + artist name under images)
- Dashboard tooltip shows current job name + per-job progress instead of stale stats
Automatically mirrors every parsed playlist (Spotify, Tidal, YouTube, Beatport) to a local database so they're always accessible — even if a service subscription lapses or the browser closes.
- New "Mirrored" tab on the Sync page with source-branded cards showing discovery/download status
- Auto-mirrors on successful parse (upsert — re-parsing updates the existing mirror, no duplicates)
- Click any mirrored playlist to browse its full track list, then run it through the discovery pipeline
- Cards dynamically reflect live state: Discovering → Discovered → Downloading → Downloaded
- Download modal rehydrates after page refresh — click a "Downloading..." card to resume viewing progress
- All phase transitions (start, complete, cancel, error, modal close) keep card and backend state in sync
- Profile-scoped via profile_id, consistent with other features
Allow multiple users to share a single SoulSync instance with isolated personal data. Each profile gets its own watchlist, wishlist, discovery pool, similar artists, and bubble snapshots — while sharing the same music library, database, and service credentials.
- Netflix-style profile picker on startup when multiple profiles exist
- Optional PIN protection per profile; admin PIN required when >1 profiles
- Admin-only profile management (create, edit, rename, delete)
- Profile avatar images via URL with colored-initial fallback
- Zero-downtime SQLite migration — all existing data maps to auto-created
admin profile
- Single-user installs see no changes — profile system is invisible until
a second profile is created
- WebSocket count emitters scoped to profile rooms (watchlist/wishlist)
- Background scanners (watchlist, wishlist, discovery) iterate all profiles
Migrates 38 HTTP polling loops to WebSocket push events across 6 phases: service status, dashboard stats, enrichment workers, tool progress, sync/discovery progress, and scan status. All original HTTP polling is preserved as automatic fallback — if WebSocket is unavailable or disconnects, the app seamlessly reverts to its previous behavior. Includes 162 tests verifying event delivery, data shape, and HTTP parity. Also fixes a copy-paste bug in Beatport sync error cleanup.
Incremental database updates now detect when artists or albums have been removed from your media server (Plex, Jellyfin, or Navidrome) and automatically clean them up from SoulSync's database. Previously, deleted content would persist as ghost entries until you ran a full refresh. Removal counts are reported in the scan results. Includes safety checks to prevent accidental mass deletion if the server is unreachable or returns incomplete data.
Adds a full public REST API at /api/v1/ with 32 endpoints covering library, search, downloads, wishlist, watchlist, playlists, system status, and settings. Includes API key authentication (Bearer token), per-endpoint rate limiting, and consistent JSON response format. API keys can be generated and managed from the Settings page. No changes to existing functionality — the API delegates to the same backend services the web UI uses.
Adds Tidal as a third download source alongside Soulseek and YouTube. Uses the tidalapi library with device-flow authentication to search and download tracks in configurable quality (Low/High/Lossless/HiRes) with automatic fallback. Integrates into the download orchestrator for all modes (Tidal Only, Hybrid with fallback chain), the transfer monitor, post-processing pipeline, and file finder. Frontend includes download settings with quality selector, device auth flow, and dynamic sidebar/dashboard labels that reflect the active download source. No breaking changes for existing users.
Filled all missing Hydrabase fallthrough gates across 6 endpoints (artist album tracks, iTunes album, discover album, Spotify track, both similar artists), added track_number/disc_number to Track dataclass, fixed get_album_tracks to send soul_id instead of text query, mapped soul_id field from Hydrabase responses across all search methods, updated 7 frontend call sites to pass album name/artist params, and fixed M3U export defaulting to enabled when users never turned it on.
Fix short artist names (e.g. "ano") getting buried by wildcard matches. Re-ranks Spotify and iTunes results so exact name matches appear first, without changing what's returned.
SoulSync was importing from all Navidrome libraries regardless of user access restrictions. Added a "Music Library" dropdown in Navidrome settings that lets users scope imports to a specific music folder. Uses the Subsonic musicFolderId parameter on artist, album, and search API calls. Selecting "All Libraries" reverts to the previous behavior.
Sync status was being saved to storage/sync_status.json on disk, which fails in Docker with permission denied errors. Moved to the existing database preference system so it works in all environments.
Introduce batch removal support for wishlist tracks. Adds a new POST endpoint /api/wishlist/remove-batch that validates input, removes multiple tracks via the wishlist service, logs the result and returns a removed count. Updates the frontend (webui/static/script.js) to provide per-track and per-album checkboxes, a Select All button, a batch action bar with selection count and a Remove Selected action (with confirmation), and logic to refresh the view and wishlist count after removal. Styles (webui/static/style.css) are extended to support unified watchlist/wishlist batch bars, checkbox styling, and a Select All button. Preserves existing single-item removal behavior.
Increase the minimum confidence cutoff to 0.9 in multiple discovery/search routines to reduce false positives. Affected functions: _search_spotify_for_tidal_track, _run_youtube_discovery_worker, _run_listenbrainz_discovery_worker, and _run_beatport_discovery_worker. This tightens matching criteria (previously 0.6/0.7/0.75) to favor higher-confidence matches, potentially reducing incorrect matches at the cost of fewer total matches.
Add server endpoint to trigger a manual download for a user-selected candidate from the candidates modal (/api/downloads/task/<id>/download-candidate). The endpoint validates input, resets task and batch state (status, error, used_sources, active_count, permanently_failed_tracks), reconstructs Track/TrackResult objects and dispatches a background download attempt via missing_download_executor. Update the frontend candidates modal to show a download button per candidate, wire it to POST the candidate to the new API, and add CSS for table layout and download button styling. Enables restarting failed/not_found tasks by choosing a specific source without blocking the UI.
Expose cached search results for failed downloads and add a UI to review them. Implements a new GET /api/downloads/task/<task_id>/candidates endpoint that serializes any cached_candidates and track_info for a task and returns an error message and candidate count. The download worker now collects top raw search results (all_raw_results) and stores them in download_tasks[task_id]['cached_candidates'] when no match is found so users can inspect what Soulseek returned. The batch status payload includes has_candidates to mark "not_found" tasks as reviewable. On the frontend, new script functions (_ensureCandidatesClickListener, showCandidatesModal, _renderCandidatesModal, closeCandidatesModal) fetch and render a modal table of candidates; existing status rendering is updated to attach click handlers and error tooltips. Styles for the modal and a clickable .has-candidates state are added to style.css.
Add a POST /api/quarantine/clear endpoint to delete all files and folders inside the ss_quarantine directory (uses docker_resolve_path and reports removed item count). Implement _sweep_empty_download_directories() to walk the downloads folder bottom-up and remove empty directories (preserves root download dir, skips hidden entries, robust against locked/non-empty dirs). Wire the sweeper into existing cleanup flows: clear_finished_downloads(), the periodic _simple_monitor_task(), and the failed-tracks post-cleanup path so leftover empty folders are removed. Also add a Clear Quarantine button in the web UI and a clearQuarantine() client function to call the new API and show feedback.
Add limit=50 to spotify_client.get_artist_albums so up to 50 albums/singles/compilations are returned per request, reducing the need for extra pagination and ensuring more complete discography results from a single call.
Store album artists in the Spotify track data structure (handles both dict and object album forms) so downstream processing has access to album-level artist metadata. Also update missing-track processing to fall back to source_info['watchlist_artist_name'] when artist_name is absent, ensuring artist context is preserved for legacy/watchlist-sourced entries.
In web_server.py, increase the minimum artist similarity from 0.4 to 0.5 in both cache validation and candidate scoring. Add a title similarity floor (min_title_similarity = 0.5) to _discovery_score_candidates: compute cleaned/core titles, allow a core-title exact match to bypass the floor, otherwise require title similarity >= 0.5. Only candidates that pass both artist and title floors proceed to full weighted scoring. This reduces false positives where a strong artist match could previously mask a poor title match.
Introduce a generic score_track_match(...) in core/matching_engine.py and make calculate_match_confidence(...) delegate to it. The new scorer is source-agnostic, consolidates artist/title/duration logic (core-title fast path, cleaned similarity, weighted 60/30/10 scoring) and improves artist matching.
In web_server.py add cache-validation (_validate_discovery_cache_artist) and a reusable _discovery_score_candidates(...) helper that calls the new scorer. Propagate per-match confidence through discovery flows (Tidal, YouTube, ListenBrainz, Beatport), increase Spotify/iTunes search limits, add an extended high-limit search strategy, tighten per-source thresholds, and save match confidence to the discovery cache. Overall this centralizes and standardizes matching logic and improves accuracy/validation for cached discovery results.
Add album.artists to the album data when adding wishlist tracks and change the missing-tracks processing to prefer album-level artists for constructing artist context. The code now uses spotify_data.get('album') or {} and picks artist_ctx from album.artists first, falls back to source_info.artist_name (with safe JSON parsing if source_info is a string), then to track-level artists, and finally to a generic Unknown Artist. This ensures tracks from compilations or albums where the album artist differs from track artists are grouped consistently.
Expand track title normalization and refine album grouping logic.
- core/acoustid_verification.py: Broadened the parenthetical-suffix regex to strip year-based remasters and additional variants (e.g. "2025 Remaster", "single edit", "album edit") while still removing common extras like (Live), (Deluxe), (Radio Edit), and featuring tags.
- web_server.py: Restrict the smart album grouping to only run for singles/auto-detected albums; explicit album downloads now preserve the original Spotify album name to avoid mangling names (e.g. reworked/remastered vs deluxe). Added explicit logging for both smart grouping and skipped grouping paths. The verification post-processing worker now checks an is_album_download flag in context and skips re-grouping when true, with fallback logging on errors.
These changes prevent unintended renaming of explicit album downloads and improve normalization of common title suffixes.
- matching_engine.py: Add 'single edit' and 'album edit' tokens and clarify radio edit comment so edit/cut variants are recognized as different cuts rather than being silently normalized away.
- database/music_database.py: Fix SQL param ordering by appending server_source to params; add a pre-step to strip "(with ...)" / "[with ...]" only when used inside brackets (so titles like "Stay With Me" are preserved); stop removing edit/version tokens in the generic cleanup and document that radio/single/album edits are treated as distinct by the similarity scorer to avoid incorrect matches.
- web_server.py: Increase DB match confidence threshold from 0.70 to 0.80 and update the runtime check accordingly.
These changes prevent edit/cut variants from being conflated with original recordings, improve title normalization for "with" featuring syntax in brackets, and fix a params ordering bug and a too-low match threshold.
Introduce a global watchlist override feature and UI to control release/content filters across all watchlist artists. Backend: add /api/watchlist/global-config (GET/POST) for reading/updating global settings, validation to require at least one release type when override is enabled, and _apply_watchlist_global_overrides() to apply settings to WatchlistArtist objects. Scanners (manual and automatic) now call _apply_watchlist_global_overrides() and perform additional checks (_should_include_release, _should_include_track) to skip releases/tracks according to config. Frontend: add a Global Watchlist Settings modal, controls (release types, content filters, include-all shortcut), save/validation logic, banners/notices when global override is active, and integration into the watchlist modal and per-artist config. Styles: add supporting CSS for the modal and banners. Small cleanup/whitespace adjustments included.
Add support for cycling hero/featured similar artists by introducing a last_featured timestamp and using it to prefer least-recently-featured artists. Changes include:
- DB migration: add _add_similar_artists_last_featured_column and call it during migrations to add a last_featured TIMESTAMP column (non-fatal on error).
- Query changes: get_top_similar_artists now excludes watchlist artists via a LEFT JOIN and wa.id IS NULL and orders results by last_featured (nulls first), then by last_featured asc, occurrence_count desc, and similarity_rank asc. The query aliasing was also added for clarity.
- New helper: mark_artists_featured updates similar_artists.last_featured = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP for shown artists.
- Web server: increase fetch limit to 50, remove random shuffle and instead take the top 10 (already ordered by cycling logic), and call mark_artists_featured to rotate featured artists.
These changes aim to provide deterministic, least-recently-shown cycling of hero artists while keeping watchlist artists out of recommendations.
Improve Hydrabase response handling and add discography/album track helpers. core/hydrabase_client.py: extract peer counts from stats.connectedPeers, handle new "response" key and stats-only or unexpected response shapes (return empty instead of wrapping), and add search_discography() and get_album_tracks() to map Hydrabase results into Album/Track objects. web_server.py: avoid redundant Hydrabase round-trips by passing precomputed hydrabase_counts into the background comparison worker; prefer Hydrabase for artist discography and album track import when active (with Spotify fallback); and route album-context searches to Hydrabase when configured. These changes reduce duplicate network calls and improve robustness against varied Hydrabase payloads.
Introduce an in-memory, locked cache (_mb_release_cache and _mb_release_cache_lock) for MusicBrainz release lookups to ensure concurrent post-processing threads use a consistent release MBID and avoid splitting albums in players. Use the track artist (first artist in multi-artist fields) for artist MBID matching. Remove usage of AudioDB's per-track strMusicBrainzAlbumID as a fallback for MUSICBRAINZ_RELEASE_ID and add a comment explaining why (AudioDB links tracks to original albums which can differ per track and split albums). Includes safeguards around match_release calls and stores empty results in the cache to avoid repeated failed lookups.
Prefer an album's stored track count when owned_tracks meets or exceeds it (avoids marking a complete standard edition as incomplete when an external source reports a larger deluxe count). Add more robust edition-detection regexes and generic catch-alls (parenthesized/bracketed text containing "edition") in music_database.py and web_server.py, and include silver/gold/platinum edition variants. Also tidy related regex handling and comments to improve matching for varied edition naming (e.g. "MMXI Special Edition").
Add robust checks and stabilization before treating transfers as finished. The patch verifies bytesTransferred vs expected size in multiple places (monitor, API polling, YouTube handling, and batch status building) to avoid acting on premature "Completed/Succeeded" states. It adds per-poll file-claiming to prevent two contexts from grabbing the same file, introduces file-stability loops and retries when locating/moving files, replaces a blind 1s wait with repeated size checks, and fsyncs destination files after copy. Also introduces an _incomplete_warned flag to reduce log spam and ensures post-processing is triggered reliably once files are truly stable.
Add Hydrabase support as an optional/dev metadata source and comparison tool.
- Add core/hydrabase_client.py: synchronous Hydrabase WebSocket client that normalizes results to Track/Artist/Album types and exposes raw access.
- Update config/settings.py: add hydrabase settings (url, api_key, auto_connect) and getter.
- Update web_server.py: integrate HydrabaseClient, initialize client alongside the existing HydrabaseWorker, add auto-reconnect using saved config, persist credentials on connect/disconnect, add endpoints for status and stored comparisons, background comparison runner (Hydrabase vs Spotify vs iTunes), and adapt multiple search endpoints to optionally use Hydrabase as the primary metadata source with fallbacks.
- Update web UI (webui/index.html, webui/static/script.js, webui/static/style.css): add network stats and source comparison UI, pre-fill saved credentials, show peer count, load/display comparisons, update disconnect behavior to disable dev mode, and add Hydrabase badge styling.
Behavioral notes: when dev mode + Hydrabase are active, searches can be served from Hydrabase and comparisons to Spotify/iTunes are run in background; when Hydrabase fails the code falls back to Spotify/iTunes. Saved Hydrabase credentials are persisted for auto-reconnect; disconnect disables dev mode and auto_connect.
Files touched: config/settings.py, core/hydrabase_client.py, web_server.py, webui/index.html, webui/static/script.js, webui/static/style.css.
Increase Spotify client rate limit and reduce API contention during watchlist scans. Changes:
- core/spotify_client.py: Bumped MIN_API_INTERVAL from 0.2s to 0.35s (~171 calls/min) to stay safely under Spotify's ~180/min limit.
- web_server.py: In start_watchlist_scan and automatic scan flow, pause spotify_enrichment_worker and itunes_enrichment_worker before scanning (tracking with _enrichment_was_running/_itunes_enrichment_was_running) and resume them in finally blocks; added console prints for pause/resume. This prevents enrichment workers from contending for API quota during long scans.
- webui/static/script.js: Improved enrichment status tooltip logic to prioritize explicit currentType and then fall back to completion-based inference with explicit branches for artists, albums, and tracks for clearer progress text.
These changes aim to avoid API rate violations and make scan progress display more predictable.
Introduce a new Retag tool to track and re-tag previously downloaded albums/singles. Changes include:
- Database: add migration hook and create retag_groups and retag_tracks tables, indexes, and many helper methods (add/find/update/delete groups & tracks, stats, trimming).
- Backend (web_server): capture completed album/single downloads into the retag tables, implement retag execution logic (_execute_retag) to fetch album metadata, match tracks, update tags, move files, download cover art, and update DB. Add thread-safe globals, executor, and REST endpoints for stats, listing groups, group tracks, album search, execute, status, and delete.
- Frontend (webui): add Retag Tool card, modals, search UI, JS to list groups/tracks, search albums, start retag operations, poll status, and update UI; include help content. Add CSS for modals and components.
The migration is invoked during DB init to ensure existing installations create the new tables. The tool caps stored groups (default 100) and avoids duplicate track entries.
When clearing the wishlist or changing the discovery lookback period, reset watchlist_artists.last_scan_timestamp to NULL so subsequent scans can re-discover older releases that were previously filtered by an earlier scan timestamp. clear_wishlist now deletes wishlist_tracks, updates last_scan_timestamp for all watchlist artists, and logs the number of tracks cleared and artists reset. set_discovery_lookback_period also resets last_scan_timestamp and reports how many artists were reset. Minor whitespace cleanups in watchlist_scanner and web_server included.
Add a release_date field to the Track dataclass for both iTunes and Spotify clients (iTunes: parsed from releaseDate, Spotify: from album.release_date). Propagate release_date into enhanced search results in web_server and into the client-side script so album objects include release_date when available. Also broaden playlistId matching in the missing-tracks process to include 'enhanced_search_track_'. Removed SQLite SHM/WAL files from the repo (cleanup of DB temporary files). These changes enable showing and using track release dates across the app.
Add per-track selection checkboxes, select-all control and a selection count to download modals (missing/YouTube/Tidal/artist-album). Implement JS helpers (toggleAllTrackSelections, updateTrackSelectionCount) to manage checkbox state, row dimming, button disabling, and to filter/stamp selected tracks with _original_index before sending to the backend. Update start/add-to-wishlist flows to use only selectedTracks and disable controls once analysis starts. Backend _run_full_missing_tracks_process now reads _original_index to preserve original table indices in analysis results. CSS updates (mobile.css and style.css) add styling for checkbox columns, responsive hiding logic for headers/columns, selection visuals (.track-deselected), and small layout/width tweaks.
Introduce M3U export feature with UI control and server-side saving. Adds a new m3u_export config option (enabled flag) and a checkbox in the settings UI. The web endpoint /api/save-playlist-m3u now checks the m3u_export setting (unless force=true), builds the target folder using a new _compute_m3u_folder() helper (leveraging existing template logic with sensible fallbacks), sanitizes filenames, and writes .m3u files into the computed folder. Frontend JS loads/saves the new setting, supplies album/artist metadata when auto-saving, and both autoSave and manual export now POST M3U data to the server (manual export uses force=true). Also changed browser download filename extension to .m3u and added minor logging/response behavior.
Introduce deferred album repair scanning and robust tracklist resolution plus UI/presentation tweaks.
- core/repair_worker.py: Add lazy MusicBrainz and AudioDB client accessors, per-batch folder queues, and register_folder/process_batch to defer folder scans until a batch completes. Implement cascading tracklist resolution (_resolve_album_tracklist) using Spotify/iTunes IDs, Spotify track→album lookup, album search, MusicBrainz release lookup, and AudioDB→MusicBrainz fallback. Add helpers to read Spotify track IDs, MusicBrainz album IDs, album/artist tags from files, MB/AudioDB fetchers, placeholder-ID filtering, and rename associated .lrc files when renaming audio files. Cache/locking and background-threaded scanning included. Improves resilience to missing/placeholder IDs and avoids circular imports.
- web_server.py: Register album folders for repair in post-processing and trigger repair_worker.process_batch when batches complete (multiple completion paths) so scans run after downloads finish.
- webui/static/script.js: Reduce unnecessary background work by skipping many fetches when the tab is hidden, and refresh dashboard-specific data on visibility change to ensure UI updates after OAuth or tab switch.
- webui/static/style.css: Replace glassmorphic backdrop-filters with opaque dark gradients for sidebar and main content to improve GPU rendering and visual consistency.
Overall: Adds reliable post-download album repair scanning using multiple metadata sources and reduces unnecessary client polling and heavy CSS effects for better performance and robustness.
Introduce an optional "Blasphemy Mode" that deletes the original FLAC after a verified MP3 copy is created.
- config: add lossy_copy.delete_original (default: false).
- webui/index.html & static script: add checkbox and warning in settings UI and persist the setting.
- web_server.py: make _create_lossy_copy return the MP3 path when it deletes the FLAC (otherwise None); validate the MP3 using mutagen before removing the FLAC; rename associated .lrc files if present; update post-processing to use the final processed path in logs and wishlist checks and to consider .mp3 variants when FLAC may have been removed.
Behavior is off by default and includes safety checks and logging to avoid accidental deletion of originals.
Add full-featured SpotifyWorker and iTunesWorker background workers to enrich artists, albums, and tracks with external metadata using batch cascading searches, fuzzy name matching, ID validation, and DB backfills. Update RepairWorker to re-read the transfer path from the database each scan, resolve host paths when running in Docker, and trigger immediate rescans when the transfer path changes; remove the static config_manager dependency. Also include supporting changes to the database layer and web UI/server (stats, controls, and styles) to integrate the new workers and reflect updated worker status.
Add _get_playlist_items_page to call the new playlists/{id}/items endpoint (Feb 2026 API migration) and fall back to spotipy.playlist_items (old /tracks) on 403/404. Update _get_playlist_tracks and web_server.get_playlist_tracks to use the new helper to avoid 403 errors for Development Mode apps while preserving compatibility with Extended Quota Mode.
Tighten fuzzy matching in post-processing when no exact context is found: acquire matched_context_lock for thread-safe access and limit candidate keys to those starting with the current username prefix ("{task_username}::") while still matching the file basename. This prevents cross-album/username metadata contamination during mass downloads (e.g., multiple albums with identical track basenames) and reduces erroneous fuzzy matches.
Use MusicBrainz IDs returned by AudioDB as fallbacks when MB lookup is missing. The patch maps strMusicBrainzID/strMusicBrainzAlbumID/strMusicBrainzArtistID to MUSICBRAINZ_RECORDING_ID, MUSICBRAINZ_RELEASE_ID, and MUSICBRAINZ_ARTIST_ID respectively (only if those tags are not already present), sets recording_mbid and artist_mbid where applicable, and adds informational prints for debugging.
Request recording 'releases' from MusicBrainz and, when available, capture the first release MBID into id_tags['MUSICBRAINZ_RELEASE_ID']. Persist this release (album) MBID across tag formats by adding TXXX ('MusicBrainz Album Id'), a generic tag 'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID', and an iTunes MP4 freeform key. This allows tracks to be associated with their MusicBrainz release/album.
Stop recomputing expected file paths during verification and instead use the exact path computed/moved during post-processing (context['_final_processed_path']). If that context value is missing, assume success to avoid false failures and mark the task completed.
Also store the computed final path into context in _post_process_matched_download so verification uses the exact same path. Add logic to handle cases where the source vanished but a variant (quality-tagged) file exists in the destination — treat that as success, set the final path, download art and generate LRC.
In the post-processing worker: skip verification when the task is already completed or marked as stream_processed, check for stream_processed status while searching, increase file search retries from 3 to 5 with longer sleeps, and re-check stream_processed before marking a task failed. Improve log messages and error text to reduce false negatives caused by independent recomputation or concurrent stream processing.
Add a recovery step during wishlist processing that scans in-memory download_tasks (under tasks_lock) for tasks marked 'failed' or 'not_found' but not present in permanently_failed_tracks, and appends normalized track entries (including retry_count, failure_reason, spotify_track, and cached candidates). This prevents tasks that were force-marked failed by stuck-detection logic from being silently skipped in wishlist sync. Also fix post-processing context lookup by rebuilding the context key with _make_context_key(task_username, task_filename) so it matches how context keys are stored.
Introduce a RepairWorker to scan the transfer folder and automatically detect/repair broken album track numbers (e.g. the "all tracks = 01" bug). The worker uses mutagen to read/write tags, fuzzy-matches titles against an album tracklist (Spotify/iTunes via a SpotifyClient), updates filenames and the tracks DB file_path when renamed, and caches album tracklists. It also adds DB schema support (repair_status, repair_last_checked, and an index).
Integrates the worker into the web server: initializes and starts the worker, and exposes /api/repair/status, /api/repair/pause and /api/repair/resume endpoints. Adds UI elements (button, tooltip), client-side JS to poll and control the worker, CSS for visuals/animations, and a new image asset (whisoul.png).
Introduce a Hydrabase P2P mirror worker and integrate it into the web UI and server flows. Adds core/hydrabase_worker.py: a background thread with a capped queue (1000), enqueue API, rate limiting, basic stats (sent/dropped/errors), and logic to send JSON requests over a provided WebSocket (responses received and discarded). Integrates the worker into web_server.py (import, startup init, status/pause/resume endpoints, and enqueues queries from multiple search endpoints when dev mode is enabled). Adds UI elements, JavaScript polling/toggle logic, and CSS styling for a Hydrabase status button in webui (index.html, static/script.js, static/style.css) to display and control worker state.
Introduce a developer-only Hydrabase testing UI and backend WebSocket integration. Adds a simple dev-mode toggle (password 'hydratest') and new API endpoints (/api/dev-mode, /api/hydrabase/connect, /api/hydrabase/disconnect, /api/hydrabase/status, /api/hydrabase/send) that use websocket-client to connect/send raw JSON to a Hydrabase instance. Frontend changes include a Hydrabase nav/page, payload editors, response panel, dev-mode UI in Settings, associated JS handlers, CSS styling, and an icon asset. Also add websocket-client to requirements.
Introduce $artistletter and $disc template variables across config, UI, and backend to support artist-first-letter tokens and multi-disc albums. Update web_server.py to include disc_number in template context, prefer user-controlled $disc in templates, and create configurable disc subfolders using a new file_organization.disc_label setting. Update example and active config, web UI to expose the new variable and disc label selector, and script.js to validate, load, and save the new settings and substitutions.
Introduce a configurable "lossy_copy" feature that creates an MP3 copy alongside downloaded FLAC files. Adds default config (example and runtime) and UI controls for enabling the feature and selecting an MP3 bitrate. Implements _create_lossy_copy in web_server.py which checks the FLAC extension, respects the configured bitrate (default 320 kbps), locates ffmpeg (including a local tools/ffmpeg fallback), performs conversion, and attempts to update the QUALITY tag via mutagen. The feature is invoked after post-processing/moving downloads. Logs and graceful failures (missing ffmpeg, timeouts, tag errors) are included.
Introduce a new $quality template variable that is only substituted into filenames to avoid splitting album folders when tracks of mixed qualities are present. Updates include:
- web_server.py: populate template contexts with 'quality' (from context['_audio_quality']), strip $quality from folder components, substitute it only in the filename, and clean up empty brackets/parentheses/dashes when the variable is empty.
- config/config.example.json and config/config.json: document the new variable in the file_organization template variables string.
- webui/index.html and webui/static/script.js: update UI help text and client-side template validation to include $quality.
This prevents folder fragmentation for albums with mixed-quality files while still allowing quality information in filenames.
Add Deezer as a third metadata enrichment source. Enriches tracks with BPM and explicit flags, albums with
record labels, explicit flags, and type classification (album/single/EP), and backfills artwork and genres across
all entities. Includes background worker with priority queue, rate-limited API client, database migration, server
endpoints, and UI button with purple-themed status tooltip.
Integrated TheAudioDB as a metadata enrichment source. A background worker scans the library in priority order (artists → albums → tracks), matching entities via fuzzy name comparison and storing style, mood, and AudioDB IDs. Includes rate limiting, 30-day retry for not-found items, and a UI tooltip showing phase-based scan progress.
Add a UI button to disconnect Spotify and fall back to iTunes/Apple Music without restarting. Cache is_spotify_authenticated() with a 60s TTL to reduce redundant API calls (~46 call sites were each
triggering a live sp.current_user() call). Fix status endpoint calling the auth check twice per poll,
and ensure both OAuth callback handlers (port 8008 Flask route and port 8888 dedicated server)
invalidate the status cache so the UI updates immediately after authentication.
Spotify's @rate_limited decorator now retries on 429/5xx with exponential backoff (up to 5 retries) instead of sleeping once and raising. Watchlist scan delays scale dynamically based on lookback setting and artist count to prevent sustained API pressure. A circuit breaker pauses the scan after consecutive rate-limit failures.
When a download fails in the Download Missing Tracks modal, hovering over the "Failed" status now shows a tooltip explaining why. The backend already tracked error_message on tasks internally but never sent it to the frontend. This surfaces those reasons and enriches them with detailed context — search diagnostics break down what happened per query (no results, filtered out, search error), retry failures include source counts and likely cause, and timeout/stuck messages name the state and duration. The tooltip uses a fixed-position popup to avoid clipping by the modal's scroll container, with scroll and visibility-aware dismissal.
The Soulseek "Test Connection" button could report success while the dashboard status remained "Disconnected" because the status endpoint only checked if slskd was configured (is_configured()), not actually
reachable (check_connection()). Switched to a real connection check with TTL caching (matching the existing
Spotify/media server pattern), update the status cache after successful tests, and refresh the UI immediately on success.
Multi-disc albums (e.g., deluxe editions, double albums) now automatically organize
tracks into Disc 1/, Disc 2/ subfolders within the album folder. Detection uses the
disc_number field from Spotify's API — when an album has total_discs > 1, subfolders
are created. Single-disc albums are completely unaffected.
- Plumb disc_number through all download paths (enhanced, non-enhanced, download
missing modal, wishlist)
- Compute total_discs from album tracklist and store on album context
- Modify path builder to insert Disc N/ subfolder for multi-disc albums
- Preserve disc_number when tracks fail and get re-added to wishlist
- Preserve disc_number when adding tracks to wishlist from library page
- Add visual disc separators in Soulseek search result track lists
Split the enhanced search dropdown into distinct Albums and Singles & EPs sections using the album_type field. Changed the zero-tracks error from a cryptic red error toast to a clear warning message. Fixed the loading text to show the actual music source name instead of hardcoded "Spotify".
Automatically clear completed downloads from slskd after batch completion, matching the cleanup behavior already present in the frontend. Adds a 5-minute periodic sweep as a safety net when no batches are actively running.
When clicking a partially-complete album on the Library page, the wishlist modal now shows which tracks are owned (dimmed with checkmark) and which are missing (orange border). Ownership data lazy-loads after the modal opens to avoid blocking the UI, using a batch DB query for speed. Also fixes albums like DAMN. showing "14/15" when all available tracks are owned — the frontend now trusts the backend's "completed" status instead of doing raw track count math against potentially inaccurate Spotify metadata.
Replace blocking DB matching in the Library artist detail view with a two-phase render pattern. The page now renders album cards instantly from Spotify/Itunes data , then streams per-release ownership results via SSE that update cards one-by-one.
Update version to 1.6 in sidebar and API. Add changelog for local import, enhanced tagging, mobile layout, and performance improvements. Fix track popularity field access for upcoming Spotify API changes (February 2026).
Added an Import feature that lets users process local audio files through the existing post-processing pipeline (metadata enrichment, cover art, lyrics, library organization). Files are placed in a configurable Staging folder and imported via two modes: Album mode (search/match files to a Spotify tracklist) and Singles mode (select individual files for processing). Includes auto-suggested albums based on staging folder contents and real-time per-track progress tracking.
- Add global discovery_match_cache table to cache successful track matches
(title+artist+provider -> matched result) across all discovery sources
- Cache check before API search in YouTube, ListenBrainz, Tidal, and Beatport
discovery workers; cache write after high-confidence matches
- Re-discovering playlists or overlapping tracks across sources skips API lookups
- Fix Spotify tab sidebar forcing 2-column grid on mobile via inline JS styles
- Add mobile responsive styles for Spotify playlist cards (stack layout vertically)
Enrich downloaded audio files with external identifiers and improved genre metadata in a single post-processing write. During metadata enhancement, the app now looks up the MusicBrainz recording and artist MBIDs, retrieves the ISRC and MusicBrainz genres from a follow-up detail lookup, merges them with Spotify's artist-level genres (deduplicated, capped at 5), and embeds everything alongside the Spotify/iTunes track, artist, and album IDs. All MusicBrainz API calls are serialized through the existing global rate limiter, making concurrent download workers safe without needing to pause the background worker. Includes a database migration adding Spotify/iTunes ID columns to the library tables.
Add optional post-download audio fingerprint verification using AcoustID.
Downloads are verified against expected track/artist using fuzzy string
matching on AcoustID results. Mismatched files are quarantined and
automatically added to the wishlist for retry.
- AcoustID verification with title/artist fuzzy matching (not MBID comparison)
- Quarantine system with JSON metadata sidecars for failed verifications
- fpcalc binary auto-download for Windows, macOS (universal), and Linux
- MusicBrainz enrichment worker with live status UI and track badges
- Settings page AcoustID section with real-fingerprint connection test
- Source reuse for album downloads to keep tracks from same Soulseek user
- Enhanced search queries for better track matching
- Bug fixes: wishlist tracking, album splitting, regex & handling, log rotation
MusicBrainz library enrichment with real-time
status monitoring and manual control.
Features:
- Status icon button in dashboard header with glassmorphic design
- Animated loading spinner during active enrichment
- Hover tooltip showing:
- Worker status (Running/Paused/Idle)
- Currently processing item
- Artist matching progress with percentage
- Click-to-toggle pause/resume functionality
- Auto-polling every 2 seconds for live updates
Backend Changes:
- Added GET /api/musicbrainz/status endpoint
- Added POST /api/musicbrainz/pause endpoint
- Added POST /api/musicbrainz/resume endpoint
- Worker tracks current_item for UI display
- get_stats() returns enhanced status data
Frontend Changes:
- New MusicBrainz button component with tooltip
- Premium CSS styling with animations
- JavaScript polling and state management
- Positioned tooltip below button with centered arrow
Files Modified:
- web_server.py: API endpoints and worker initialization
- core/musicbrainz_worker.py: current_item tracking
- webui/index.html: Button and tooltip structure
- webui/static/style.css: Complete styling (240 lines)
- webui/static/script.js: Polling and interaction logic (115 lines)
- Files downloaded from different soulseek sources carried conflicting MusicBrainz Release IDs and disc number tags that were never overwritten during metadata enhancement, causing Navidrome/Plex to split a single album into multiple entries even when folder structure and album name were identical
- disc_number is now written to file metadata (sourced from Spotify/iTunes API), overwriting stale tags from soulseek sources
- MusicBrainz IDs are now stripped during metadata enhancement so media servers group by album name + artist instead of mismatched release IDs
- The verification worker now applies _resolve_album_group() for album name consistency with the stream processor path
- Fixed source reuse retry logic: used_sources is no longer reset between retries, so a source that errors during transfer is skipped on retry and the system falls through to a normal search instead of retrying the same failing source 3 times
Added per-context-key threading lock in _post_process_matched_download to serialize access when both the Stream Processor and Verification Worker attempt to process the same downloaded file. Previously, both threads would race to move the source file via shutil.move, causing FileNotFoundError for the loser. The lock ensures the first thread completes the move before the second enters, where existing protection checks detect the file was already transferred and return early.
- Single-worker mode for album batches (sequential downloads enable clean source reuse)
- Browse API integration to list files in a source's directory
- Failed source tracking per-batch to avoid retrying broken sources
- Graduated quality scoring for upload speed, queue length, and free slots
- Track number fallback fix (uses Spotify track number instead of hardcoded 1)
- Duplicate completion guard to prevent double-decrement of active worker count
- Dedicated logging for source reuse and post-processing diagnostics
When downloading an album/EP, perform a single album-level search on Soulseek to find a user with the complete album folder before falling back to per-track search. This improves album completion rates and ensures consistent quality across tracks.
Add a /callback Flask route (port 8008) that handles Spotify OAuth token exchange, mirroring the existing HTTPServer handler on port 8888. This allows users behind a reverse proxy to point their Spotify redirect_uri at the main app.
Root cause: When album downloads completed, the frontend immediately closed
the modal and called /api/playlists/cleanup_batch, which deleted the batch
from memory. The wishlist processing thread (submitted to executor) would
then try to access the batch and fail silently because it was already deleted.
This explains why:
- Wishlist auto-processing worked (different timing/3-second delay)
- Manual "Add to Wishlist" button worked (different code path, before downloads)
- Album modal failed tracks didn't get added (race condition)
The fix prevents batch cleanup until wishlist processing completes:
Backend (web_server.py):
1. Mark wishlist_processing_started=True when submitting processing job
2. Mark wishlist_processing_complete=True when processing finishes
3. Block cleanup endpoint if processing in progress (return 202)
Frontend (script.js):
4. Handle 202 response and retry cleanup after 2-second delay
This eliminates the race condition while maintaining async processing and
ensuring all failed/cancelled tracks are properly added to the wishlist.
Issue: Tracks marked as failed or cancelled in the download missing tracks modal
were not being automatically added to the wishlist on completion, despite manual
"Add to Wishlist" button working correctly. Modal completed silently without
mentioning wishlist.
Root cause: Line 549 in web_server.py was calling _on_download_completed() with
wrong parameters - missing batch_id. This caused the completion handler to look
up wrong batch, return early, and never process failed tracks to wishlist.
The bug affected downloads that complete via monitor detection (YouTube, Soulseek)
since the monitor loop calls this function when it detects completed transfers.
Fix: Added missing batch_id parameter to _on_download_completed() call on line 549.
Changed:
_on_download_completed(task_id, success=True)
To:
_on_download_completed(batch_id, task_id, success=True)
Tested: Automatic wishlist addition now works correctly for failed/cancelled tracks.
Frontend: treat discover_album_ playlists as Album Downloads to ensure proper folder structure for Recent Releases.
Backend: inject explicit album context into Wishlist download tasks to force Artist/Album/ grouping instead of flat file handling.
Library page was using album data from discography listing while Artists page used track.album from API. With iTunes, these could have different track counts, causing different album_type classifications.
- Updated handleAddToWishlist to use track.album data like Artists page does
- Added album_type copying to owned releases in merge_discography_data
- Display "Apple Music" instead of "Spotify" in UI when iTunes is active source
- Enhanced connection test messages to indicate Spotify config/auth status
- Fixed similar artists requiring Spotify re-scan when Spotify becomes available
- Fixed hero slider buttons failing for iTunes-only artists
- Updated activity feed items to show correct source name dynamically
When Spotify is enabled after populating similar artists with only iTunes IDs, the freshness check now detects missing Spotify IDs and triggers a refetch. This fixes the Discover page not showing data when switching from iTunes-only mode.
- Add similar artists fetching to web UI scan loop
- Add database migration for UNIQUE constraint on similar_artists table - Add source-agnostic /api/discover/album endpoint for iTunes support
- Fix NOT NULL constraint on discovery_recent_albums blocking iTunes albums
- Add fallback to watchlist artists when no similar artists exist
- Add /api/discover/refresh and /api/discover/diagnose endpoints
- Add retry logic with exponential backoff for iTunes API calls
- Ensure cache_discovery_recent_albums runs even when pool population skips
- Fix platform detection to include is_listenbrainz_playlist check when generating fix buttons
- Update openDiscoveryFixModal to check both listenbrainzPlaylistStates and youtubePlaylistStates
- Update searchDiscoveryFix to detect discovery_source and use appropriate search API
- Add /api/itunes/search_tracks endpoint for manual track search when using iTunes source
- Update selectDiscoveryFixTrack state lookup to include ListenBrainz
Fix button now works correctly for all platforms (YouTube, ListenBrainz, Tidal, Beatport) with both Spotify
and iTunes discovery sources.
- Update _search_spotify_for_tidal_track to accept use_spotify and itunes_client parameters for dual-source
support
- Update _run_tidal_discovery_worker to check is_spotify_authenticated() and fall back to iTunes when Spotify
unavailable
- Update _run_beatport_discovery_worker with same iTunes fallback pattern
- Add discovery_source field to state and results for frontend awareness
- Activity messages now indicate which provider (SPOTIFY/ITUNES) completed discovery
All four discovery modals (YouTube, ListenBrainz, Tidal, Beatport) now support the dual-source architecture:
Spotify preferred, iTunes fallback.
Implement dual-source architecture where iTunes serves as always-available
primary source and Spotify as preferred source when authenticated.
- Make watchlist scans provider-aware (manual and auto paths)
- Update discovery pool population to process both sources
- Update recent albums caching for both sources
- Create source-specific curated playlists (Fresh Tape, Archives)
- Add on-the-fly iTunes ID resolution for similar artists
- Add iTunes ID check to similar artists freshness validation
- Fix sqlite3.Row compatibility in personalized playlists
- Fix iTunes ISO 8601 date format parsing
- Update API endpoints to serve source-appropriate data
This ensures the app remains fully functional if Spotify becomes
unavailable (rate limits, auth issues, bans) by seamlessly falling
back to iTunes data that has been building in parallel.
Implements lazy loading of artist images in search results, artist pages, and similar artist bubbles to improve performance and user experience. Updates the iTunes client to prefer explicit album versions and deduplicate albums accordingly. Adds a new API endpoint to fetch artist images, and updates frontend logic to asynchronously fetch and display images where missing.
Adds iTunes fallback to SpotifyClient for search and metadata when Spotify is not authenticated. Updates album type logic to distinguish EPs, singles, and albums more accurately. Refactors watchlist database methods to support both Spotify and iTunes artist IDs. Improves deduplication and normalization of album names from iTunes.

Introduces iTunes artist ID support to WatchlistArtist and database schema, enabling proactive backfilling of missing provider IDs (Spotify/iTunes) for watchlist artists. Updates WatchlistScanner to use MetadataService for provider-agnostic scanning and ID matching, and modifies web_server to support scans with either provider. Includes new database migration and update methods for iTunes and Spotify artist IDs.
Changed stuck flag detection for wishlist and watchlist auto-processing from 2 hours to 15 minutes for faster recovery. Updated log messages and related logic to reflect the new timeout and display stuck duration in minutes. Also updated wishlist stats to use the improved stuck detection function.
Added backend support for reporting current auto-processing state and cycle in the wishlist stats API. Updated frontend to detect and handle auto-processing start, close modals, and notify users, as well as improved countdown timer updates and conflict handling when starting manual processing.
Refactored wishlist and watchlist auto-processing scheduling to use atomic timer updates and retry logic, preventing stuck timers and improving reliability. Removed excessive debug logging and improved error handling throughout related functions. Added checks to prevent concurrent wishlist processing and ensured timer state is managed consistently.
Added logic to remove duplicate tracks based on their Spotify track ID during both the sanitization and category filtering steps in get_wishlist_tracks(). This ensures the frontend receives a deduplicated list and improves data consistency. A warning is printed if duplicates are found and removed during sanitization.
Enhanced wishlist and watchlist processing to deduplicate tracks during both sanitization and filtering, preventing duplicate downloads and processing. Added explicit resets of next run timer variables to ensure accurate scheduling after each cycle. Updated countdown timer display in the UI to show '0s' when timer reaches zero instead of hiding it.
Introduces new filters for live versions, remixes, acoustic versions, and compilation albums to the watchlist artist configuration. Updates the database schema, backend API, and web UI to support these options, allowing users to customize which content types are included for each artist in their watchlist.
Standardizes the use of extract_filename() for context keys to ensure consistent lookup and storage across download and post-processing flows. Increases fuzzy match thresholds in file search to reduce false positives. Adds per-file threading locks to prevent concurrent metadata writes, improving thread safety during metadata enhancement.
Introduced _sanitize_context_values to clean all string values in the context dictionary before applying path templates. This prevents unsafe characters (like '/') in metadata (e.g., artist names) from creating unintended path components during template substitution.
Adds a check for the presence of 'load_config' in config_manager. If not found, uses a fallback method to support older settings.py files, improving compatibility with legacy Docker volumes.
Bump version to 1.3 and update the version info modal to highlight the new YouTube download engine, Docker and system reliability fixes, and general improvements. Update the web UI to display v1.3 and apply minor formatting and accessibility improvements throughout index.html.
Updated _find_downloaded_file to resolve download paths for Docker environments, ensuring compatibility with host-mounted directories. Also updated README to clarify YouTube integration and sources.
Enhanced the Tidal authentication page to provide clearer, step-by-step instructions for users accessing the app remotely or via Docker. The new flow helps users update the callback URL as needed, improving the authentication experience in non-localhost environments.
Adds critical fixes to reschedule timers after stuck flag recovery for wishlist and watchlist processes, preventing deadlocks and ensuring continuity. Refines album classification by prioritizing Spotify's album_type over track count heuristics, and ensures album_type is included in API responses. Updates frontend logic to pass and use fresh album/artist context for discover_album modals, improving metadata accuracy and display.
Replaces the timer-based automatic watchlist scanning with a background heartbeat thread for improved reliability and robust retry logic. The new system handles scheduling, conflict detection, and error recovery, while UI countdown updates are decoupled from actual scheduling.
Refines album/single classification in get_wishlist_stats by considering explicit 'album' type for short multi-track releases. Also updates openDownloadModalForRecentAlbum to include total_tracks and album_type in album data for more accurate processing.
Replaces the previous daisy-chained timer logic for automatic wishlist processing with a robust background heartbeat thread. This ensures reliable scheduling, simplifies stopping/starting, and improves error handling. UI countdown updates remain compatible with existing call sites.
Introduces a reload_config method to SpotifyClient and refactors ConfigManager to support reloading configuration from a file. Updates web_server.py to use the new config loading mechanism, ensuring configuration is loaded into the existing singleton instance and SpotifyClient is properly re-initialized after settings changes.
Changed Docker volume mapping from './database' to './data' in README-Docker.md for SQLite files. Updated web_server.py to support config path override via SOULSYNC_CONFIG_PATH environment variable, improving Docker compatibility.
Updated the normalize_title function to remove unicode accents using NFD normalization and filtering non-spacing marks. This enhances title comparison by handling accented characters more robustly.
Adjusts matching weights for YouTube sources to rely more on title and duration, adds a shutdown callback to the YouTube client to prevent new downloads during shutdown, and enhances post-processing to reliably resolve actual YouTube file paths. Improves error handling for file removal, ensures no new batch downloads start during shutdown, and refines download monitoring to trigger post-processing on completed YouTube downloads. Also increases YouTube download retries and improves logging for debugging.
Enhanced download status and post-processing logic to properly handle YouTube downloads alongside Soulseek transfers. Improved file organization for simple downloads, moving singles without album info directly to the Transfer root. Added a new generic Spotify search API endpoint. Updated frontend logic to correctly display YouTube download titles and results, and improved filename parsing for YouTube tracks.
Enhances streaming logic to better support YouTube as a download source, including improved filename handling, fuzzy file matching, and search query generation. Updates format checks in the frontend to skip them for YouTube (always MP3). Refactors backend to use a unified download status API for both Soulseek and YouTube, and improves service test messaging based on the active download mode.
Introduces a DownloadOrchestrator class to route downloads between Soulseek and YouTube based on user-configurable modes (Soulseek only, YouTube only, Hybrid with fallback). Updates web server and UI to support new download source settings, including hybrid mode options and YouTube confidence threshold. Refactors YouTube client for thread-safe download management and bot detection bypass. Ensures quality filtering is skipped for YouTube results and improves file matching and post-processing logic for YouTube downloads.
Introduces the $year variable for album, single, and playlist path templates, allowing users to include the release year in file organization. Updates the backend to extract and provide the year, adjusts the web UI to document the new variable, and updates validation logic to recognize $year as valid in templates.
Wrapped calls to schedule_next_wishlist_processing in try/except blocks to prevent timer thread termination if scheduling fails. This improves robustness and ensures continuity of automatic wishlist processing cycles even in the event of scheduling errors.
Increases Spotify search result limits for artists and albums. Adds dynamic glow effects to artist, album, and track cards in the UI using image-based colors. Significantly upgrades the CSS for enhanced dropdowns, cards, and lists with a premium, vibrant, and responsive design.

Introduces a backend API endpoint and frontend logic to allow users to stream individual tracks directly from enhanced search results. Updates the UI to include a play button for each track, adjusts the search mode toggle to default to enhanced search, and refines related styles for improved user experience.
Implements a persistent search bubble system for tracking album and track downloads in enhanced search. Adds backend API endpoints for saving and hydrating search bubble snapshots, frontend state management for search download bubbles, UI for displaying and managing active/completed downloads, and associated styles for search bubble cards. This enables users to resume and manage search downloads across page refreshes.
Increased the number of tracks returned by enhanced search from 10 to 20. Updated CSS for enhanced search sections and artist cards to improve visual appearance, spacing, and responsiveness, including larger artist images, new backgrounds, and better layout for various screen sizes.
Implements an enhanced search endpoint in the backend that unifies Spotify and local database results, returning categorized artists, albums, and tracks. Updates the frontend with a new dropdown overlay for live search, debounced input, categorized result rendering, and direct integration with the main results area for album/track selection. Adds new CSS for the dropdown and result cards, and updates the Track dataclass to include image URLs for richer UI display.
Introduces a search mode toggle in the downloads UI, allowing users to switch between basic and enhanced search modes. Adds new HTML structure, JavaScript logic, and CSS styles for the enhanced search interface (currently placeholder functionality). In the backend, implements a retry system for file discovery after download completion to handle race conditions, with cleanup of stale retry attempts to prevent memory leaks.
Introduces an optional 'limit' query parameter to the /api/wishlist/tracks endpoint for improved performance when fetching tracks. Updates the frontend to use this parameter, limiting requests to 50 tracks per category when fetching album and single covers.
Eliminates hardcoded source prefixes (e.g., [Tidal], [YouTube], [Beatport], [ListenBrainz]) from playlist names in both backend and frontend code. Source detection is now handled via virtualPlaylistId prefixes, improving consistency and simplifying playlist name handling throughout the application.
Adds robust track-to-track matching for album and single downloads, enabling enhanced metadata enrichment using Spotify data. Updates both backend and frontend to support matching Soulseek tracks to Spotify tracks, sending full Spotify track objects for improved organization and post-processing. Simplifies context handling for simple downloads and removes legacy flags, ensuring more accurate and consistent metadata for matched downloads.
Adds detection for remote access during Spotify authentication and provides step-by-step instructions for users connecting remotely, including guidance on modifying the callback URL. Enhances user experience with styled HTML and a copy-to-clipboard button for the host IP.
Introduces a template-based file organization system for downloads, allowing users to define custom folder and filename structures for albums, singles, and playlists. Updates the backend, config example, web UI, and client-side validation to support template editing, resetting, and error checking. Improves consistency in file placement and metadata handling across all download modes.
Enhanced handling of artist data to support both string and object formats across the database, sync service, and web server. The sync process now preserves full album and artist objects for tracks, enabling wishlist additions with album cover art. The frontend and API were updated to use the full artist objects, and the UI now formats artist names correctly.
Introduces API endpoints and UI elements to view and change the application's log level from the web interface. Log level changes are applied immediately and persisted in the database. Updates backend logic, logging utilities, and frontend scripts to support this feature.
Introduces backend API endpoints to remove individual tracks or all tracks from an album in the wishlist. Updates the frontend to display delete buttons for tracks and albums, with confirmation modals before removal, and styles these new UI elements for clarity and usability.
Introduces backend and frontend functionality to list and select Jellyfin music libraries. Adds API endpoints, updates the client logic, and provides a UI selector for users to choose their preferred Jellyfin music library.
Implements automatic cleanup of completed, errored, or cancelled batches after 5 minutes to prevent stale state. Adds stuck task detection for 'searching' and 'post_processing' states, forcing failure or completion if tasks exceed time thresholds. Updates batch completion logic to track completion timestamps and handle orphaned tasks more robustly. Also improves wishlist auto-processing timer management.
Adds support for sending specific track IDs from the frontend to the backend when starting wishlist missing downloads. This ensures only the tracks currently visible to the user are processed, preventing race conditions if the wishlist changes between modal open and analysis start. Category filtering remains for backward compatibility.
When an artist is added to the watchlist, their image is now fetched from Spotify and cached in the database immediately if available. This improves user experience by ensuring artist images are present without requiring a separate fetch.
Added logic to both automatic and manual wishlist processing to check for and remove tracks that already exist in the library before initiating downloads. This prevents unnecessary bandwidth usage and keeps the wishlist up to date.
Improves handling of concurrent wishlist and watchlist operations by moving scheduling outside the lock and using flags to avoid deadlocks. This change ensures that scheduling the next wishlist processing does not occur while holding the lock, reducing risk of deadlock and improving code clarity.
