Added normalized string comparison for album titles to better handle diacritics, addressing issue #101. Also logs when normalization improves matching accuracy.
Introduced _sanitize_context_values to clean all string values in the context dictionary before applying path templates. This prevents unsafe characters (like '/') in metadata (e.g., artist names) from creating unintended path components during template substitution.
Enhanced normalization by using _matching_engine when available for both search input and database values. Improved album search by considering artist name variations and deduplicating results. Added a fallback mechanism to search all albums by artist to address SQL accent sensitivity issues, increasing robustness in album matching.
Adds a check for the presence of 'load_config' in config_manager. If not found, uses a fallback method to support older settings.py files, improving compatibility with legacy Docker volumes.
Bump version to 1.3 and update the version info modal to highlight the new YouTube download engine, Docker and system reliability fixes, and general improvements. Update the web UI to display v1.3 and apply minor formatting and accessibility improvements throughout index.html.
Updated _find_downloaded_file to resolve download paths for Docker environments, ensuring compatibility with host-mounted directories. Also updated README to clarify YouTube integration and sources.
Enhanced the Tidal authentication page to provide clearer, step-by-step instructions for users accessing the app remotely or via Docker. The new flow helps users update the callback URL as needed, improving the authentication experience in non-localhost environments.
Adds critical fixes to reschedule timers after stuck flag recovery for wishlist and watchlist processes, preventing deadlocks and ensuring continuity. Refines album classification by prioritizing Spotify's album_type over track count heuristics, and ensures album_type is included in API responses. Updates frontend logic to pass and use fresh album/artist context for discover_album modals, improving metadata accuracy and display.
Replaces the timer-based automatic watchlist scanning with a background heartbeat thread for improved reliability and robust retry logic. The new system handles scheduling, conflict detection, and error recovery, while UI countdown updates are decoupled from actual scheduling.
Refines album/single classification in get_wishlist_stats by considering explicit 'album' type for short multi-track releases. Also updates openDownloadModalForRecentAlbum to include total_tracks and album_type in album data for more accurate processing.
Replaces the previous daisy-chained timer logic for automatic wishlist processing with a robust background heartbeat thread. This ensures reliable scheduling, simplifies stopping/starting, and improves error handling. UI countdown updates remain compatible with existing call sites.
Introduces a reload_config method to SpotifyClient and refactors ConfigManager to support reloading configuration from a file. Updates web_server.py to use the new config loading mechanism, ensuring configuration is loaded into the existing singleton instance and SpotifyClient is properly re-initialized after settings changes.
Changed Docker volume mapping from './database' to './data' in README-Docker.md for SQLite files. Updated web_server.py to support config path override via SOULSYNC_CONFIG_PATH environment variable, improving Docker compatibility.
Updated the normalize_title function to remove unicode accents using NFD normalization and filtering non-spacing marks. This enhances title comparison by handling accented characters more robustly.
Introduces an async method to search for a query and automatically download the best result based on quality preferences and source priority. The method handles empty results, filters by quality, and logs the download process.
Implemented clear_all_completed_downloads in YouTubeClient to remove completed, cancelled, errored, and aborted downloads from memory. Updated DownloadOrchestrator to call this method, ensuring both Soulseek and YouTube completed downloads are cleared.
Introduces a new priority 0 query that combines artist, album, and title for improved matching, especially for YouTube and hybrid download modes. This helps better match tracks where the album is significant, such as soundtracks, and only applies when the album is not a generic label like 'single' or 'greatest hits'.
Adjusts matching weights for YouTube sources to rely more on title and duration, adds a shutdown callback to the YouTube client to prevent new downloads during shutdown, and enhances post-processing to reliably resolve actual YouTube file paths. Improves error handling for file removal, ensures no new batch downloads start during shutdown, and refines download monitoring to trigger post-processing on completed YouTube downloads. Also increases YouTube download retries and improves logging for debugging.
Enhanced download status and post-processing logic to properly handle YouTube downloads alongside Soulseek transfers. Improved file organization for simple downloads, moving singles without album info directly to the Transfer root. Added a new generic Spotify search API endpoint. Updated frontend logic to correctly display YouTube download titles and results, and improved filename parsing for YouTube tracks.
Enhances streaming logic to better support YouTube as a download source, including improved filename handling, fuzzy file matching, and search query generation. Updates format checks in the frontend to skip them for YouTube (always MP3). Refactors backend to use a unified download status API for both Soulseek and YouTube, and improves service test messaging based on the active download mode.
Introduces a DownloadOrchestrator class to route downloads between Soulseek and YouTube based on user-configurable modes (Soulseek only, YouTube only, Hybrid with fallback). Updates web server and UI to support new download source settings, including hybrid mode options and YouTube confidence threshold. Refactors YouTube client for thread-safe download management and bot detection bypass. Ensures quality filtering is skipped for YouTube results and improves file matching and post-processing logic for YouTube downloads.
Introduces a help button to the Discover page UI, styled for visibility and accessibility. Adds comprehensive help content explaining all Discover page features, including MusicMap integration, playlist types, seasonal content, and sync/download options.
Introduces a toggle button in the downloads header to show or hide the download manager side panel. The toggle state is persisted in localStorage, and responsive styles are added for better usability on small screens. Updates HTML structure, JavaScript initialization, and CSS for the new toggle functionality and improved mobile experience.
Introduces the $year variable for album, single, and playlist path templates, allowing users to include the release year in file organization. Updates the backend to extract and provide the year, adjusts the web UI to document the new variable, and updates validation logic to recognize $year as valid in templates.
Updated Dockerfile, entrypoint.sh, and Python code to store database files in /app/data instead of /app/database, avoiding conflicts with the Python package. The database path is now configurable via the DATABASE_PATH environment variable, improving flexibility for container deployments.
Wrapped calls to schedule_next_wishlist_processing in try/except blocks to prevent timer thread termination if scheduling fails. This improves robustness and ensures continuity of automatic wishlist processing cycles even in the event of scheduling errors.
Increases Spotify search result limits for artists and albums. Adds dynamic glow effects to artist, album, and track cards in the UI using image-based colors. Significantly upgrades the CSS for enhanced dropdowns, cards, and lists with a premium, vibrant, and responsive design.
Bumps SoulSync version to 1.2, introducing a unified multi-source search system, a major overhaul of the matching engine for improved accuracy, and significant wishlist and quality-of-life improvements. Updates version info and UI elements to reflect the new release and its features.
