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.
"Sync This Playlist" buttons in YouTube/Tidal/Deezer/Spotify/Beatport/
ListenBrainz discovery modals were not gated by _isSoulsyncStandalone.
Added check to the hasSpotifyMatches condition that generates them.
The Sync page was hidden entirely for standalone users, blocking
access to playlist browsing, discovery, and downloads. Now the page
is accessible — only the sync-to-server buttons are hidden since
there's no server to push playlists to.
openDownloadMissingModal showed loading overlay but didn't hide it
on error paths (playlist not found, fetch failure). The overlay
persisted across page navigation, blocking the entire UI.
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.
Delay alternate-source fan-out until the primary enhanced-search response arrives, and stagger those follow-up requests so they do not all compete at once. Also parallelize artist, album, and track lookups inside each metadata source request to shorten the time the UI thread spends waiting on remote APIs. This keeps the single-worker web UI more responsive under the app's chatty search flow.
New MusicBrainz tab in Enhanced and Global search — finds tracks and
albums on MusicBrainz's community database with Cover Art Archive
images. Covers obscure tracks that Spotify/Deezer/iTunes miss.
- core/musicbrainz_search.py: search adapter with Track/Artist/Album
dataclasses, Cover Art Archive integration, smart query parsing
- Albums deduplicated (keeps best version with date and art)
- No artist results shown (MusicBrainz has no artist images)
- Album detail with full tracklist for download modal
- Smart word-boundary splitting for queries without separators
- Global search results container widened from 620px to 920px
- UI version bumped to 2.32
All sync-related buttons hidden when active server is SoulSync
Standalone. Covers static buttons (querySelectorAll on status update)
and dynamic modal buttons (_isSoulsyncStandalone flag).
UI version bumped to 2.31 (Docker stays at 2.3).
No media server to sync playlists to — sync page is irrelevant.
M3U generation is still available via settings toggle and download
modal buttons for standalone users who want playlist files.
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.
- Track numbers defaulted to 1 instead of using metadata source values
- Release dates not captured, causing missing year in path templates
- Cover art missing for Deezer (direct image_url not checked)
- Track names in expanded view showed Unknown (wrong JSON field name)
- Read year/date from embedded file tags as fallback
- Add Deezer get_album_metadata/get_album_tracks fallbacks
- Handle Deezer tracks.data response format
Toggle appeared off when running because CSS :checked rules were
scoped to .repair-master-toggle. Added auto-import-toggle-label
selectors. Refresh now re-renders whichever tab is active.
Toggle state was set by browser click, then immediately overwritten by
the status reload callback. Now optimistically sets the toggle and
status text before the API call, reverting only on failure.
Album delete now shows a smart delete dialog with two options:
- Remove from Library (DB only, files untouched)
- Delete Files Too (removes DB records AND deletes audio files from
disk, cleans up empty album folder)
Backend /api/library/album/<id> DELETE now accepts ?delete_files=true
parameter, resolves each track's file path, and removes files before
deleting DB records. Reports files_deleted and files_failed counts.
autoSavePlaylistM3U was called on every 2-second poll cycle once any
track completed, flooding the server with heavyweight M3U generation
requests (fuzzy matching all tracks against the DB). This exhausted
Flask's thread pool, causing the batch status endpoint to hang and
killing the poller — making the modal freeze mid-download.
Now fires once when the batch completes instead of on every poll.
- Include completed batches in poll cycle so late task updates still
render (prevents modal freezing when batch completes before all rows
update)
- Require server to report no active tasks before client-side
completion fires (prevents phase=complete from prematurely ending UI)
- Apply same fix to backoff poller and WebSocket resubscription
Note: modal stalling issue persists — setInterval stops firing after
~12 cycles for unknown reasons. Needs deeper browser-level debugging.
The global download poller was disabled when WebSocket was connected,
but WebSocket connections can silently stop delivering messages without
triggering a disconnect event (room subscription lost, server emit
error, proxy timeout). This left modals frozen while downloads
continued server-side. Removing the socketConnected gate ensures the
2-second HTTP poll always runs as a fallback alongside WebSocket.
When adding tracks to wishlist from a playlist download modal,
process.artist was undefined (only set for album downloads) and
defaulted to {name: 'Unknown Artist'}. This got stored in
source_info.artist_name and was prioritized over the track's own
artist data during wishlist download post-processing.
Now resolves the artist per-track from the track's own artists array,
falling back to the process-level artist only for album downloads
where it's actually set correctly.
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
Clicking the Download Wishlist button while auto-processing was active
only showed a toast telling the user to check the Downloads page. Now
navigates there directly so progress is immediately visible.
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.
Server Playlists tab now displays ALL playlists from the media server,
split into two sections: Synced Playlists (with mirrored/history match,
full opacity, "Synced" badge, "Open Editor" action) and Other Server
Playlists (everything else, dimmed at 70%, "View Tracks" action). Both
sections have header with icon, title, and count. Unsynced cards fade
to full opacity on hover.
Artist Sync button on enhanced library page now does true bidirectional
sync: Phase 1 pulls new albums/tracks from the media server using the
DatabaseUpdateWorker in deep scan mode (preserves enrichment), Phase 2
removes stale DB entries for files no longer on disk. Works for Plex,
Jellyfin, and Navidrome. Toast shows +albums, +tracks, -stale counts.
Repair jobs tab redesigned: 2-column grid layout with glass gradient
cards, accent top line on hover, hover lift effect, job description
text below name, running state with pulsing accent bar. Responsive
to single column under 900px.
Fixed deezer_artist_id → deezer_id column name on artists table lookup.
Watchlist scanner: empty discography (no new releases in lookback) was
treated as API failure, causing "Failed to get artist discography" for
artists like Kendrick Lamar who simply had no recent releases. Now
distinguishes None (API failure → try next source) from [] (success,
no new tracks). Spotify backfill now uses the authenticated client
instance instead of creating a fresh unauthenticated one.
Wishlist nebula: album remove now sends album_name (API updated to
accept album_name as fallback alongside album_id). Track remove
re-renders the nebula after deletion. Toned down processing pulse
animation.
Updated test to verify fallback triggers on API failure (None), not
on empty results.
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).
Eight visual upgrades to the wishlist nebula:
1. Watchlist artist photos used for orb images (cross-referenced via API)
2. Hover tooltip with artist name and track count
3. Pulse animation on orbs when their category is next in auto-processing
4. Album art ring — tiny covers orbit each orb in a slow spinning ring
5. Staggered entry animation — orbs fade in and float up on page load
6. Click artist name to navigate to Artists page with search pre-filled
7. Improved label styling with accent color hover + underline
8. Responsive art ring sizing per orb size class
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.
The active-process check could hang or return stale data, making the
button feel unresponsive. Added 2-second timeout with AbortController,
fast path for already-visible client process, and graceful fallback to
navigateToPage on rehydration failure or timeout.
Full automation page upgrade with group management and drag-and-drop:
Backend: batch_update_group() and bulk_set_enabled() DB methods, new
PUT /api/automations/group and POST /api/automations/bulk-toggle endpoints.
Group headers: rename (inline edit), delete (choice dialog — keep
automations or delete all), bulk toggle (enable/disable all in group).
Actions appear on hover, styled as small icon buttons.
Drag and drop: non-system cards are draggable between group sections.
Drop zones show dashed accent border feedback. Collapsed sections
auto-expand on 500ms drag-hover. System/Hub sections dimmed during drag.
dragenter counter pattern handles child element bubbling.
Delete group dialog: glass card modal with three options — keep
automations (move to My Automations), delete everything, or cancel.
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.
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.
When the DB stored a path the resolver couldn't map to a local file
(common with Navidrome virtual paths or Docker path mismatches), file
deletion was silently skipped — the DB record was removed but the file
stayed on disk with no indication to the user.
Now logs the resolution failure with the stored path, returns a
file_error in the API response, and the frontend shows a warning toast
explaining the file wasn't deleted plus a second toast with the specific
reason (e.g. Navidrome 'Report Real Path' instructions).
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.
The import section appeared twice in the saveSettings object literal —
the second key (staging_path only) silently overwrote the first
(replace_lower_quality). JavaScript uses last-wins for duplicate keys.
Merged into a single import block.
Auth instruction pages and log messages now use the actual configured
callback port instead of hardcoding 8888. Added startup logging that
prints whether SOULSYNC_SPOTIFY/TIDAL_CALLBACK_PORT env vars were
detected, helping diagnose Unraid/Docker env var issues. Also fixes
uses_main_port detection for custom callback ports and moves the
wishlist button handler to global init so it works on all pages.
The `complete` flag from polling responses was never forwarded into the
transformed status object passed to `updateYouTubeDiscoveryModal`, so
the `if (status.complete)` block that swaps the footer from the
'Discovering...' spinner to the Sync / Download Missing buttons never
fired. Fixed for all three affected sources: Tidal, Deezer, and Spotify
Public — both the WebSocket and HTTP polling paths for each.
Explored status was stored only in frontend memory; on reload the badge
disappeared because the API never returned it. Added explored_at column
to mirrored_playlists (auto-migrated), written when build-tree completes,
and read back via SELECT * so the badge survives page refreshes.
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
