The close button and backdrop click handlers were only attached when
the Tools page was visited (initializeToolHelpButtons). Automation
builder '?' buttons open the same modal but the close handlers were
never set up. Added inline onclick handlers to the modal HTML and a
global Escape key listener so closing works from any page.
New toggle in Settings → Library → Post-Processing: "Apply ReplayGain
tags after download". When enabled, analyzes loudness via ffmpeg's
ebur128 filter and writes track-level ReplayGain gain/peak tags.
Runs after metadata tagging but before lossy copy so both files get
the tags. Off by default — adds a few seconds per track.
Applied to both album and playlist/single download paths.
New core/genre_filter.py with ~180 curated default genres. When strict
mode is enabled in Settings → Library Preferences → Genre Whitelist,
only whitelisted genres pass through during enrichment. Junk tags from
Last.fm (artist names, radio shows, playlist names) are silently dropped.
Applied at all 10 genre write points: Spotify, Last.fm, AudioDB, Deezer,
Discogs, iTunes, Qobuz enrichment workers + post-processing genre merge
+ initial download artist/album creation.
Strict mode is OFF by default — zero behavior change for existing users.
First enable auto-populates the whitelist with defaults. Users can add,
remove, search, and reset genres via the Settings UI.
The disabled path field on the Connections tab was showing stale data
(always ./Transfer) because it read from the DOM before settings loaded.
Removed it entirely — the output path is configured on the Downloads tab.
Standalone section now just shows description + verify button.
All user-facing labels, docs, help text, tooltips, error messages, and debug
info output updated. Backend config keys, variable names, actual path values,
and Docker volume mounts are completely unchanged — zero functional impact.
Users can now override which metadata provider (Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music,
Discogs) is used when scanning a specific watchlist artist for new releases.
The selector appears in the artist config modal and only shows sources the
artist has enrichment IDs for. Default behavior is unchanged — all artists
use the global metadata source unless explicitly overridden.
Three collapsible categories, collapsed by default:
- Paths & Organization (file templates + music library paths)
- Post-Processing (metadata, tags, conversion, lyrics)
- Library Preferences (import, content filter, stats, playlists, M3U)
Section headers have data-stg=library so they only appear on the
Library tab. Bolder headers with accent-colored arrows and subtle
border. Collapse state preserved when switching settings tabs.
Fourth server option on the Connections tab with SoulSync logo and
'Standalone' label. Config panel shows Transfer folder path and
Verify Folder button. Test connection counts audio files in the
Transfer folder. Settings save/load properly detects soulsync toggle.
Race condition: scanner re-scanned folders while post-processing was
still moving files, causing partial matches and ghost failures. Now
tracks in-progress paths and skips them on subsequent scans.
Coverage penalty fix: individual tracks that match at 80%+ confidence
now auto-import even when overall album coverage is low (e.g. 2 of 18
tracks present). Previously low coverage killed the entire import.
Import page: stats bar, filter pills, Scan Now, Approve All, Clear
History (clears imported + failed), live scan progress.
Split Downloads page into main list (left) and batch panel (right).
Each active batch gets a color-coded card with artwork thumbnail,
progress bar, per-track status with download percentages, and
expandable track list. Download rows get matching color indicators.
- Click batch name to open its download/wishlist modal
- Filter icon narrows main list to one batch with clear banner
- Collapsible panel toggle for full-width list view
- Completed batches fade out after 15 seconds
- 7-day batch history with source type color dots
- Artwork fallback shows colored initial when no art available
- Per-track progress: download %, spinner for searching, proc label
- source_page column on sync_history for UI origin tracking
- /api/downloads/all includes batch summaries and per-track progress
- /api/downloads/batch-history endpoint for history queries
- Responsive layout, overflow-x hidden to prevent scroll flicker
Full auto-import pipeline: background worker watches the staging folder,
identifies music using embedded tags → folder name parsing → AcoustID
fingerprinting, matches files to metadata source tracklists, and
processes high-confidence matches through the existing post-processing
pipeline automatically.
Worker: AutoImportWorker with start/stop/pause/resume, configurable
scan interval (default 60s), confidence threshold (default 90%), and
auto-process toggle. Processes one folder per cycle, alphabetical
order. Disc folder detection, stability checking, content hash dedup.
Confidence gate: 90%+ auto-processes silently, 70-90% queued as
pending review with approve/dismiss actions, <70% flagged for manual
identification. Track matching uses weighted algorithm (title 45%,
artist 15%, track number 30%, album tag 10%).
Database: auto_import_history table tracks every scan result with
folder hash, match data JSON, confidence, status, timestamps.
API: 7 endpoints — status, toggle, settings (GET/POST), results
(filtered/paginated), approve, reject.
UI: Auto tab on Import page with enable toggle, confidence slider,
scan interval selector. Live result cards with album art, confidence
bar (green/yellow/red), status badges, match stats. 5-second polling.
Expanded albums: click album tile to reveal track list with per-track
remove buttons. Art shrinks to banner, title/count move to static
position, tracks scroll at 200px max-height. Handles many albums with
flex-wrap and align-items: flex-start.
Expanded singles: visible labels below 44px art circles, remove button
on hover. No longer tooltip-only.
Live processing: polls wishlist stats every 5s, detects auto-processing
and manual download batches. Orbs pulse with accent glow during active
processing. Nebula auto-refreshes when tracks complete (count decreases).
Polling stops on page navigation.
Download flow: single "Download Wishlist" button opens category choice
dialog (Albums/Singles with counts). If processing is already active,
shows toast or reopens existing download modal. Toned down processing
pulse animation (3s cycle, scale 1.03, brightness 1.1).
Bespoke wishlist page design: each artist is a glowing orb sized by
track count (sm/md/lg), with a spinning conic gradient ring colored by
artist name hash. Click to expand — albums appear as satellite rows
with cover art, singles as compact pills. Remove buttons on hover at
every level (album, single track).
Search bar filters orbs in real-time. Download Albums/Singles buttons
trigger the existing category download flow. Orbs sorted by track count
(biggest artists first). Responsive layout with mobile breakpoints.
Sidebar nav badges now update from HTTP polling (every 10s), WebSocket
pushes, and page init — counts stay current regardless of which page
the user is on. Wishlist icon changed from music note to star in both
sidebar and page title to distinguish from Artists page.
Worker orbs now centered across the full header width instead of
right-aligned. Watchlist/Wishlist buttons moved to absolute top-right
corner in their own container, preventing tooltip overflow from pushing
them to a second line. Import button removed from header (accessible
via sidebar).
Responsive: at 900px quick-nav drops to static full-width row, worker
orb tooltips hidden on mobile (status visible via orb color/spinner,
details on Tools page). At 768px everything stacks vertically.
Adaptive card on the Dashboard showing library state with four modes:
- No server: gold accent, directs to Settings
- Disconnected: gold warning with troubleshooting guidance
- Empty library: blue accent with prominent Scan Now button
- Healthy: green accent with stats grid (artists/albums/tracks/DB size),
Refresh button (incremental) and Deep Scan button (full re-check)
Stats displayed as mini cards with individual icons. Animated glow orb,
gradient accent top line, shimmer progress bar during scans. Deep scan
added to /api/database/update endpoint (deep_scan flag) — re-checks
every track, adds new ones, removes stale, preserves enrichment data.
Confirmation dialog explains what deep scan does before starting.
Dashboard Tools & Operations section replaced with a compact link card.
All 10 tool cards moved to a dedicated Tools page in the sidebar, grouped
into three sections: Database & Scanning, Metadata & Cache, Management.
Library Maintenance promoted to hero position at the top of the page with
accent top bar, logo, enable toggle, and tabbed content (Jobs, Findings,
History) — no longer buried in a modal. openRepairModal() now navigates
to the Tools page. Repair modal HTML removed.
Tool initialization extracted from loadDashboardData() into a dedicated
initializeToolsPage() with idempotent event listener wiring. Container
sizing updated to use margin: 20px (matching Dashboard/Stats) instead of
max-width: 1400px for consistent full-width appearance across all pages.
Watchlist and Wishlist are now proper sidebar pages with full design
treatment matching the app's established visual language — glass
containers, gradient headers, accent lines, card hover effects.
Watchlist page: artist grid with sort (name/scan date/date added),
search filter, last scan summary strip, live scan activity, batch
selection, all existing sub-modals (artist config, global settings,
artist detail slideout) preserved and working.
Wishlist page: stats strip (album count, singles count, next cycle),
category cards with mosaic backgrounds, track list with inline search
filter, batch operations, download integration. Auto-processing
detection on header button shows download progress modal when active.
Header buttons rewired to navigate to pages. All refresh points updated
to reinitialize pages instead of reopening modals. Timer/polling cleanup
on page navigation. Artist detail overlay converted to fixed positioning.
New POST /api/v1/request endpoint accepts a search query from external
sources (Discord bots, Home Assistant, curl) and triggers the
search-match-download pipeline asynchronously. Returns a request_id
for status polling via GET /api/v1/request/<id>. Optional notify_url
for callback on completion.
Also adds webhook_received trigger type and search_and_download action
type to the automation engine, so users can build custom flows like
"when webhook received → search & download → notify Discord".
Includes info panel in Settings showing endpoint URL and curl example.
Adds a new Last.fm Radio section to the Discover page that lets users
search a track on Last.fm, generate a similar-tracks playlist, and run
it through the existing discovery/download/sync pipeline. Also generates
playlists automatically from top listening history during watchlist scans
(max once per week).
- core/lastfm_client.py: Add get_similar_tracks() using track.getsimilar
- core/listenbrainz_manager.py: Add save_lastfm_radio_playlist() with
deterministic MBID (MD5 seed), cleanup limit of 5 for lastfm_radio type
- web_server.py: Add /api/lastfm/configured, /api/lastfm/search/tracks,
/api/lastfm/radio/generate, /api/discover/listenbrainz/lastfm-radio;
fix playlist['name'] KeyError in discovery worker that was resetting
phase back to 'fresh' after completion
- core/watchlist_scanner.py: Add _generate_lastfm_radio_playlists() with
weekly throttle, called at end of scan_all_watchlist_artists()
- webui/index.html: Add #lastfm-radio-section above ListenBrainz section,
hidden unless Last.fm API key is configured
- webui/static/script.js: Search/generation/card-load functions; fix
discovery modal labels (Last.fm Radio vs ListenBrainz), description
update on completion, belt-and-suspenders completion handling inside
updateYouTubeDiscoveryModal; fix album/duration display for tracks
without metadata; music note SVG placeholder for missing art
- webui/static/style.css: Styles for search bar, dropdown, result rows
The sidebar player was a poor use of vertical real estate and created the
collapsed-state layout issues. The mini player is now a fixed 360px widget
at bottom-right (above the bell/help buttons), matching the convention of
most streaming apps.
Changes:
- Removed media player from sidebar; sidebar spacer now pushes support/version
section to bottom as before
- New .mini-player-body horizontal layout: album art | track info | controls
- Added prev/next skip buttons (mini-nav-btn) with same skip logic as the
Now Playing modal; updateNpPrevNextButtons() now syncs both sets
- .media-player.idle now display:none (widget hides entirely when no track)
- Progress bar is a flush full-width line at the top of the widget
- Volume slider kept as hidden DOM element for JS compatibility; volume is
set via the Now Playing modal
- Toast container moved up to bottom:174px to stay above the mini player
- expand-hint button updated to four-corner expand icon, opens NP modal
- All volumeSlider and click-exclusion references updated for null-safety
New core/replaygain.py module uses FFmpeg's ebur128 filter (already a
project dependency) to analyze integrated loudness and true peak, then
writes ReplayGain 2.0 tags (-18 LUFS reference) to MP3 (TXXX frames),
FLAC/OGG/Opus (Vorbis comments), and M4A/MP4 (freeform atoms).
Three analysis modes in the enhanced library view:
- Per-track RG button: synchronous single-track analysis (~1-3 s)
- Album "ReplayGain" button: background job writing both track gain
and album gain (mean LUFS across all album tracks) to every file
- Bulk bar "ReplayGain" button: batch track-gain for selected tracks
read_file_tags() in tag_writer.py extended with four new optional keys
(replaygain_track_gain/_peak, replaygain_album_gain/_peak) so existing
RG values surface in the tag-preview diff view. Purely additive — no
existing endpoints or DB schema changed.
M3U entries now resolve actual file paths from the DB instead of
synthesising a fake 'Artist - Title.mp3' string that no media server
could use. Adds optional M3U Entry Base Path setting (Downloads tab)
so servers requiring absolute paths (e.g. /mnt/music) can be supported.
- New POST /api/generate-playlist-m3u endpoint: per-artist batch DB
lookups with fuzzy title matching, prefixes entry_base_path when set
- autoSavePlaylistM3U and exportPlaylistAsM3U now call the new endpoint
- M3U Entry Base Path input added below Music Videos Dir in settings,
follows path-input-group pattern with Unlock button and autosave
Builds a new Your Albums section on the Discover page that aggregates
saved/liked albums from all connected services, mirroring the Your Artists
pattern. Deezer works via both OAuth and ARL.
- tidal_client: add get_favorite_albums() with V2/V1 API fallback
- deezer_client: add get_user_favorite_albums() via OAuth (user/me/albums)
- deezer_download_client: add get_user_favorite_albums() via ARL session
- music_database: add liked_albums_pool table (deduped by artist::album
normalized key), upsert_liked_album, get_liked_albums,
get_liked_albums_last_fetch, clear_liked_albums
- web_server: GET /api/discover/your-albums (ownership-checked, paginated),
GET /api/discover/your-albums/sources, POST /api/discover/your-albums/refresh,
_fetch_liked_albums background worker (Spotify + Tidal + Deezer OAuth/ARL)
- frontend: Your Albums section with source selector cog, album grid reusing
spotify-library-card styles, search/filter/sort/pagination, download missing
button, auto-refresh poll on first load
Also fix: Deezer greyed out in Your Artists sources when using ARL — connection
check now accepts ARL auth (deezer_dl.is_authenticated()) in addition to OAuth,
and _fetch_and_match_liked_artists falls back to ARL client for artist fetching.
Gear button next to View All opens a sources modal letting users pick
which connected services (Spotify, Tidal, Last.fm, Deezer) contribute
artists to the Your Artists carousel. Setting saved via standard
/api/settings endpoint under discover.your_artists_sources.
- GET /api/discover/your-artists/sources returns enabled config + which
services are currently connected
- _fetch_and_match_liked_artists skips sources not in the enabled list
- Disconnected services shown dimmed and non-interactive in modal
- Saving with nothing selected blocked with error toast
- Remove z-index from .sidebar-header (fixes artist map overlap)
- Add padding-bottom to #automations-list-view (search bar overlap fix)
Add an Import nav button after Downloads (new SVG/icon) and remove the duplicate Import button that was located after Stats. This adjusts the sidebar navigation order (Downloads → Import → Library → ...) and removes the redundant element in webui/index.html.
Version bump to 2.3 with rewritten What's New modal covering all
changes since v2.2. Docker publish workflow default updated.
Sidebar improvements:
- Header stays pinned at top while nav and player scroll beneath it
- Media player collapses to compact single-line when no track is
playing, expands to full size when playback starts
Fixes:
- Server playlists endpoint Plex Tag object crash (getattr fix)
- Server playlists tab auto-refreshes after download completion
- Fixed dead code syntax error in archived version notes
New sidebar page showing every download task across the app in a unified
live-updating list. Tracks from Sync, Discover, Artists, Search, and
Wishlist all appear in one place.
Features:
- Filter pills: All / Active / Queued / Completed / Failed
- Section headers grouping by status category
- Track position (3 of 19) for album/playlist batches
- Album art, artist/album metadata, batch context, error messages
- Status dots with accent glow for active, green for complete, red fail
- Clear Completed button removes terminal items from tracker
- Nav badge shows active download count from any page via WebSocket
Fixes artist [object Object] display — handles all format variations
(list of dicts, list of strings, dict, string) for artist and album
fields in the API response.
Wizard now shows automatically on fresh installs. Detection uses a
server-side flag (setup.completed) plus download_source.mode as a
fallback for existing users who configured settings before the wizard
existed. Config.json template defaults no longer fool the check.
Script load order fixed — setup-wizard.js loads before script.js so
openSetupWizard exists when DOMContentLoaded fires. Both finish and
skip paths set the server flag and localStorage, then continue app
initialization via callback.
7-step full-screen wizard: Welcome, Metadata Source, Download Source,
Paths & Media Server, Add Artists, First Download, Done. All settings
save to DB identically to the Settings page. Supports all 6 download
sources with inline config and test buttons. First download goes through
the full matched download pipeline with metadata context.
Fixes:
- Download clients (YouTube/HiFi/Tidal/Qobuz/Deezer) now reload
download_path when settings change instead of caching from init
- watchlist_artists table migrations now include deezer_artist_id and
discogs_artist_id in all 3 table rebuild locations (was being dropped)
- CREATE TABLE for watchlist_artists includes all provider ID columns
- Serverless download sources (YouTube/HiFi/Qobuz) show green status
instead of red disconnected on sidebar and dashboard
- Suppress repeated slskd 401 errors — logs once then silences until
connection recovers
Profile creation was missing Listening Stats, Playlist Explorer, and
Issues from the page access checkboxes. Home page dropdown was missing
Stats, Playlist Explorer, and Help & Docs. Both admin and self-edit
pageLabels dicts updated to match.
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)
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
New toggle in Settings > Appearance disables backdrop blur (220
instances), animations (238), transitions (961), and box shadows
(804) across the entire UI via a single body class. Significantly
reduces GPU/CPU usage on low-end devices. Default off — no change
for existing users. Applied from localStorage on load to prevent
flash.
Sidebar media player now shows the SoulSync logo instead of a broken
image icon when no album art is available or when no track is playing.
Default src, onerror fallback, and clear-player paths all use
/static/trans2.png.
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.
Qobuz added reCAPTCHA to their login endpoint, blocking automated
email/password auth for new users. Token login lets users paste
their X-User-Auth-Token from the browser DevTools after logging in
manually. Added to both Connections and Downloads tabs with
instructions. Existing email/password flow completely unchanged.
Backend validates token via user/get API and saves the session
identically to email/password login.
New "Check All Instances" button in Settings > Downloads > HiFi
shows each configured instance with color-coded status: green for
fully working (can download), orange for search-only (downloads
fail), red for offline/SSL error/timeout. Helps users understand
why HiFi downloads aren't working when community instances go down.
ARL field now appears on both Connections tab (under Deezer OAuth)
and Downloads tab. Both fields are populated from the same config
key and synced bidirectionally via input listeners. Editing either
field instantly updates the other.
New "Deezer" tab on sync page shows authenticated user's playlists,
identical to the Spotify tab pattern — same card layout, details
modal with track list, sync button, and download missing tracks
flow. Existing URL import renamed to "Deezer Link" tab (unchanged).
Backend: get_user_playlists() and get_playlist_tracks() on the
download client fetch via public API with ARL session cookies.
Album release dates batch-fetched for $year template variable.
Three new endpoints: arl-status, arl-playlists, arl-playlist/<id>.
Frontend: cards use Spotify-identical HTML structure with live sync
status, progress indicators, and View Progress/Results buttons.
Downloads reuse openDownloadMissingModal with zero modifications.
Track data cached on first open, instant on subsequent clicks.
Library page: new dropdown filter to show artists matched or unmatched
to any metadata source (Spotify, MusicBrainz, Deezer, Discogs, etc).
Select "No Discogs" to find artists needing manual Discogs matching.
Filter applied as WHERE clause on the source ID columns.
Discogs enrichment: added to valid_services whitelist, _enrichment_locks,
and _run_single_enrichment handler. The Enrich button was returning an
error when Discogs was selected from the dropdown.
Settings > Advanced now shows database size, free pages, and auto-
vacuum mode. Two actions: Compact Database (full VACUUM to reclaim
dead space) and Enable Incremental Vacuum (one-time setup for
automatic page reclamation). Both have confirmation dialogs warning
about lock time on large databases. Info refreshes on Advanced tab
switch and after each operation.
Track original source filename, track ID, and AcoustID verification
result for every download. Helps debug wrong-file downloads from
streaming sources like Tidal. Each column migrated independently
for crash safety. Frontend shows source detail line and color-coded
AcoustID badge per entry. Button renamed to "Download History".
Visual overhaul of the API Configuration section: each service frame
is now a collapsible accordion with brand-colored dots, chevron
indicators, and smooth expand/collapse animations. Includes an
Expand All / Collapse All toggle. No functional changes — all element
IDs, save/load logic, and tab switching preserved.
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).
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.
- 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.
Full-width section with three mode cards: Watchlist (existing), Genres
(placeholder), and Explorer (placeholder). Dark gradient background
with purple/blue ambient glow, animated dot grid overlay, and polished
card hover effects. Replaces the old small hero button.
Responsive: 3-column desktop, 1-column mobile.
Toolbar redesigned: three-section layout (back+brand / centered search
with icon / tool buttons). Brand icon in accent purple. Zoom buttons in
compact pill group. Tool labels visible on desktop, icon-only on mobile.
Added keyboard shortcuts modal (keyboard icon button): lists all 10
shortcuts with styled kbd elements.
Fixes:
- Mouse wheel zoom min matched to button zoom min (0.02)
- Right-click no longer triggers left-click info modal (button filter)
- Removed external "Open on Spotify" link from context menu
- Search results dropdown centered under search bar
- Keyboard: Escape close, +/- zoom, F fit, S search, H toggle similar
- Right-click context menu: Artist Info, View Discography, Watchlist,
Open on Spotify — glass-style with auto-close
- Filter toggle button + H key: hide/show similar artists for clean
watchlist-only overview
- Removed node dragging (caused visual desync with offscreen buffer)
- Better loading progress text
- Cleanup: keyboard handler removed on close, context menu hidden
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)
$discnum was functional but missing from the settings hint text,
template validation whitelist, and docs page. Users would see an
"invalid variable" error when trying to use it.
Also fixes wishlist auto-processing toast spam — was firing every 2s
instead of once per auto-processing run.
Explore button moved to its own row below playlist cards with gradient,
search icon, and "Explore Selected Playlist" label. Impossible to miss.
Mode toggle redesigned as pill segmented control with grid/list icons.
Action bar buttons get inline SVG icons (checkmark, square, heart).
Primary buttons use gradient + glow shadow treatment.
Build hint shows "Select a playlist above, then explore" → updates to
"Ready: [name]" when playlist selected. Discovery poller refreshes
cards every 5s while active. Button re-enables as "Open" after modal
launch so user can reopen closed discovery modal.
- Add _extract_discogs_fields to metadata cache — handles Discogs field
names (title vs name, images array, Artist - Title format)

- Discogs added to API rate monitor gauges (60/min with auth)
- Help text links to discogs.com/settings/developers for token generation
- autoSavePlaylistM3U() returns early for album downloads (detected by
playlistId prefix) — albums are already grouped by media servers,
M3U just creates empty duplicate playlists (Navidrome auto-imports them)
- Fix broken isAlbum detection — data-context was always "playlist",
now uses reliable playlistId prefix matching
- Update toggle label: "playlists and albums" → "playlists"
- Update hint text to explain albums are skipped and why
- Manual Export M3U button still works for both (explicit user action)

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)

where enhanced search already exists.
Features matching enhanced search:
- Clear button when input has text
- Source tabs with live switching
- Source badges, library check, play buttons
- Album click opens download modal directly
- Artist click navigates to detail page
- Tab switching stays open (timestamp guard)
- Mobile responsive
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.
New tool card shows blocked source count. "View Blacklist" opens a
modal listing all blacklisted sources with track name, filename,
username, service icon, and time ago. Each entry has a remove button
to unblock. Empty state explains how to blacklist from Source Info.
Artist Radio and Enhance Quality buttons moved from the page header
into the artist hero section (after badges, before genres). Add to
Watchlist stays in the top-right header where it was.
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.
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
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.
Same song from different albums was blocked from entering the
wishlist by a name+artist dedup check. Added toggle in Settings →
Library → File Organization: "Allow duplicate tracks across albums"
(on by default). When enabled, the dedup is skipped — different
album versions of the same song can coexist in the wishlist for
complete discography downloads. The UNIQUE constraint on track ID
still prevents the exact same track from being added twice.
ETH address was wrong in the support modal. Also fixed clipboard
copy failing on HTTP (Docker) — navigator.clipboard requires HTTPS.
Added textarea fallback for insecure contexts, and shows the address
in a toast as last resort if both methods fail.
Always-visible button in Spotify API section that clears the OAuth
token cache, pauses enrichment, and switches to the configured
fallback metadata source. Also fixed the dashboard service card to
show the actual active source name (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer) instead
of always showing "Spotify" with an amber fallback indicator.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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).
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
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
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.
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
New feature: click the floating ? button (bottom-right corner) to
enter help mode. Click any UI element to see a popover explaining
what it is and how to use it. Covers Dashboard + Sidebar + Watchlist.
- Floating button always visible above modals (z-index 999999)
- Click interception via capture phase prevents accidental actions
- Popover with smart positioning (right/left/below fallback)
- Arrow pointing to target element with accent highlight pulse
- "View full documentation" links navigate to the correct docs section
- Escape key dismisses popover or exits help mode
- Works inside modals (watchlist, artist config, global settings)
- 45+ contextual help entries covering sidebar nav, service cards,
stat cards, all 9 tool cards, watchlist modal buttons, artist
config options, content filters, and activity feed
- Separate helper.js file for maintainability
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.
Each streaming source (Tidal, Qobuz, HiFi, Deezer) now has an "Allow
quality fallback" checkbox in Settings. When disabled, the source only
tries the exact quality selected — if unavailable, it skips and lets
the orchestrator try the next source. Default is ON (current behavior).
- Tidal and Qobuz SVG logos inverted on artist detail hero badges
- New Artist Radio button: clears queue, plays random artist track, enables radio
- Play buttons on Last.fm top tracks (hover reveal, resolves from library)
- Fixed inline JS escaping with data attribute delegation
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
- 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
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.
- 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.
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.
- 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
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.
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
Replace 3-column glassmorphic card wall with centered single-column
tabbed interface. Horizontal pill tab bar (Connections, Downloads,
Library, Appearance, Advanced) with category switching.
- Kill glassmorphic cards, accent gradient bars, and box shadows
- Clean section headers with subtle dividers
- Horizontal setting rows (label left, control right)
- Custom styled select dropdowns with SVG arrow
- Quality Profile moved into Downloads tab (conditionally visible)
- Help text wraps to new line below controls
- Path inputs and template inputs properly styled
- Mobile responsive (rows stack, tab bar scrolls)
- Zero functional changes — all element IDs and JS logic preserved
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
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.
New dropdown in Soulseek settings lets users filter out slow peers at
search time (Any/1/2/3/4/5/10 Mbps). Passes minimumPeerUploadSpeed
to slskd API in bytes/sec.
Also fixes quality scoring tiers which were using wrong units — old
thresholds (5000, 1000, 500) treated bytes/sec values as kbps,
making speed scoring effectively meaningless. Now uses correct
bytes/sec thresholds based on real peer data.
- 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
- 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
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.
- 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
- Dark translucent background with backdrop blur instead of bright colored fills
- Animated flowing gradient border using CSS mask-composite technique
- Color-tinted labels and count badges (amber for watchlist, accent for wishlist)
- Shimmer sweep clipped inside button bounds
- Structured HTML: separate icon, label, badge, and shimmer elements
- Badge pulses when count > 0
- Worker orbs: 7s delay before collapsing back after mouse leaves header
Worker buttons shrink to floating colored orbs with physics-based
movement, spark emissions from active workers, connection lines, and
center gravity. Hovering the header expands orbs back to full buttons
with staggered spring animation. Desktop only, toggleable in Settings
under UI Appearance.
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().
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
Saves successfully loaded playlist URLs to localStorage and displays
them as clickable pills between the input bar and playlist container.
Clicking a pill re-loads that URL; X button removes it. Max 10 per
source, most recent first. Source-colored hover accents match each
tab's brand styling.
Also fixes duplicate playlist bug — YouTube and Spotify Public now
check for already-loaded playlists before making API calls, preventing
broken duplicate cards when the same URL is entered twice.
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
- Add whisoul.png to modal header with subtitle text and gradient background
- Responsive: smaller logo on mobile, hide subtitle
- Share _resolve_file_path in repair_worker for cross-environment path compat
- Use path resolution in orphan and duplicate file deletion
- Guard directory cleanup against removing the transfer folder itself
- Restore correct button label text on fix error recovery
- Add findings dashboard with summary stats and per-job clickable filter chips
- Redesign findings cards with expandable detail panels and per-type renderers
- Redesign history tab with status dots, stat pills, and full timestamps
- Fix dead file cleaner false positives by using suffix-based path resolution
- Fix orphan file detector false positives by matching via path suffixes
- Add help text modal for each repair job card
- Enlarge maintenance modal (1100px wide, 90vh tall)
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.
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.
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.
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.
Introduce interactive discography filters on the artist detail page. Adds filter UI markup (category, content, ownership) in index.html and styles in style.css. Implements filter state, initialization, reset and apply logic in script.js; tags release cards with data attributes (live/compilation/featured) using regex heuristics, updates visibility and per-section owned/missing counts, and re-applies filters when releases are updated. Integrates filter setup into page init and resets filters when loading artist data.
Raise the default Jellyfin API timeout for bulk operations from 30s to 120s to better handle slow servers and large database syncs. Updated core/jellyfin_client.py to set bulk_timeout to 120, webui/index.html to show 120s in the settings input, and webui/static/script.js to use 120 as the fallback when loading settings. Aligns UI and client behavior to reduce timeout errors during heavy syncs.
Add a configurable API timeout for Jellyfin bulk requests and improve fetch retry behavior. UI: adds an "API Timeout (seconds)" field (15–300s, default 30) in webui/index.html and persists it via webui/static/script.js (load/save). Client: jellyfin_client.py now reads api_timeout from config_manager, uses it as the bulk timeout and computes a sensible non-bulk timeout (max(5, bulk_timeout//6)). Fetch loops for tracks and albums were hardened: reducing batch size now resets consecutive failure counters, log messages were clarified, and the stopping/retry thresholds were adjusted to avoid premature aborts at minimum batch sizes.
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 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.
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.
Set m3u_export.enabled default to false and update the UI so the M3U auto-save checkbox is unchecked unless explicitly enabled. Changes: config/settings.py flips the default to false, webui/index.html removes the checked attribute from the checkbox, and webui/static/script.js adjusts the logic to only check the box when settings.m3u_export.enabled === true. This prevents automatic M3U exports for users who don't explicitly opt in.
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.
Prevent accidental misconfiguration of Docker container-internal paths
(Slskd Download Dir, Matched Transfer Dir, Import Staging Dir) by making
them read-only by default.
Repurposes the non-functional Browse button into a per-field Unlock/Lock
toggle. Adds a warning blurb below the Download Settings header so users
understand these are container paths, not host paths.
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.
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 an "Active Downloads" section to the dashboard and wire up client-side plumbing to populate and update it. Adds escapeForInlineJs to safely embed values into inline JS attributes and replaces several inline onclick usages (search/genre/listenbrainz/artist buttons) to prevent quoting issues. Implements updateDashboardDownloads, createDashboardDiscoverBubble, and integrates dashboard updates into artist/search/discover flows (including register/discover download persistence and monitor hooks). Adds dashboard-specific CSS for discover/artist bubbles and minor style fixes (artist image sizing, keyframe formatting) plus a mobile CSS tweak for artist images.
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.
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".
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 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
