Soulseek results from "Various Artists", "VA", "Unknown Artist", and
"Unknown Album" folders are now rejected before scoring. These
compilation folders rarely contain properly tagged files for the target
artist.
Clearing the wishlist now also cancels any active wishlist download
batch and resets the auto-processing flag, so downloads don't keep
running after the source tracks are removed.
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
Priority 0 query (artist + album + title) was gated behind a download
mode check that excluded Soulseek, the source that benefits most from
it. Soulseek searches match against file paths where users organize as
Artist/Album/Track — without the album name, ambiguous artist names
could match wrong-artist results (e.g. "Bleakness" as an album folder
instead of an artist). Removed the mode gate so all sources get the
most specific query first.
Dashboard stats (every 10s) and download status endpoint were
unconditionally calling slskd transfers/downloads API, causing
connection timeout spam for users with a slskd URL configured but
using YouTube/Tidal/etc as their download source. Now checks both
download source mode and status cache before making the API call.
Adds April 17 entries for Auto-Import, Wishlist Nebula, automation group
management, bidirectional artist sync, provider-agnostic discovery, live
sidebar badges, and critical source ID embedding fix. Version modal
reorganized to lead with current features and summarize earlier v2.2 work.
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.
Recording MBIDs are now pulled from the matched release tracklist instead
of independent match_recording() searches, guaranteeing the recording ID
is consistent with the selected release. Batch-level artist name is used
for release cache keys so all tracks hit the same preflight-cached entry
even when Soulseek metadata spells the artist differently. A post-batch
consistency pass (run_album_consistency) rewrites album-level tags on all
files after the batch completes — the safety net that prevents Navidrome
album splits even when per-track lookups drift.
Two-layer detection: (1) check the Qobuz API response for sample=True
before downloading, and (2) validate actual file duration with mutagen
after download — if under 35 seconds, delete and return None. Qobuz
returns valid audio files for previews (~2-5MB FLAC) that pass the
existing 100KB size check, so duration is the reliable signal.
Artists with an existing spotify_artist_id but NULL spotify_match_status
were fetched by the priority queue every ~3 seconds. _process_artist
returned early (preserving the ID) without marking the status, so the
same artist was re-queued indefinitely — burning CPU and inflating API
call counters. Now marks the artist as 'matched' on the early-return
path.
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.
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.
Two bugs: (1) 'wishlist' was missing from the settings save whitelist,
so the toggle silently reset to ON on every page reload. (2) The
wishlist cleanup function unconditionally removed tracks sharing the
same name+artist regardless of album, ignoring the allow_duplicates
setting. Now when allow_duplicates is on, the dedup key includes the
album name so same song from different albums can coexist.
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.
Spotify was being called for album/artist data fetching across multiple
background workers and the Artists page search even when the user had
Deezer or iTunes set as their primary metadata source. Being authenticated
for playlist sync was treated as permission to use Spotify for everything.
- watchlist_scanner: add _spotify_is_primary_source() that checks both
auth and primary source config; use it for all album/artist data fetching
(discovery pool, recent album caching, playlist curation, similar artist
ID matching, proactive ID backfill). _spotify_available_for_run() is kept
for sync_spotify_library_cache which must run regardless of primary source
- repair_jobs/metadata_gap_filler: gate Spotify ISRC lookup on primary
source being 'spotify'; MusicBrainz lookup unaffected
- repair_jobs/unknown_artist_fixer: replace hardcoded spotify_client with
source-aware client selection — primary source ID tried first, each ID
matched to its correct client (fixes latent bug passing Deezer IDs to
Spotify)
- web_server.py /api/match/search: Artists page search was hardcoded to
spotify_client.search_artists(); now uses _get_metadata_fallback_client()
so results come from the configured primary source
_try_staging_match() built a minimal context missing spotify_artist,
spotify_album, is_album_download, and has_clean_spotify_data. Post-
processing returned early at the missing-spotify_artist guard and the
copied file was left at the transfer root with its original filename.
Now mirrors the sync modal worker's context-building: uses
_explicit_album_context/_explicit_artist_context when available
(artist-page album downloads), falls back to track.album/track.artists
for playlists and sync modal. track_number and disc_number are also
forwarded so multi-disc albums land in the correct Disc N/ subfolder.
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.
- 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.
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)
Addresses all three points from community rate-limiting report:
1. Watchlist scans fetched ALL albums then filtered — 262 albums = 27
API calls per artist. Now determines upfront if full discography is
needed: subsequent scans and time-bounded lookbacks use max_pages=1
(1 API call). Only "full discography" global setting fetches all.
2. MIN_API_INTERVAL (350ms) now configurable via spotify.min_api_interval
setting. Users who get rate-limited frequently can increase the delay.
Floor at 100ms to prevent abuse.
3. Retry-After header extraction improved: added diagnostic logging when
headers exist but lack Retry-After key, plus regex fallback to parse
the value from the error message string.
Feed collab mode album-level artists instead of per-track artists so
$albumartist and the album_artist tag are consistent across all tracks
in an album. Fixes media servers (Navidrome/Jellyfin/Plex) showing one
album split under multiple artist names (e.g. KPOP Demon Hunters).
- _build_final_path_for_track: resolve $albumartist from explicit batch
context or spotify_album.artists, pass album-level _artists_list to
collab mode instead of per-track artists
- _extract_spotify_metadata: same album-level artists for album_artist
tag collab resolution
- Wishlist path: pre-compute per-album artist map so all tracks from
the same album get the same artist context
- Download worker: propagate album artists array in spotify_album_context
- New 'webhook' then-action: sends HTTP POST with JSON payload to any
user-configured URL (Gotify, Home Assistant, Slack, n8n, etc.)
- Config: URL, optional custom headers (Key: Value per line with
variable substitution), optional custom message
- Payload includes all event variables as JSON fields
- 15s timeout, errors on 400+ status codes
- Follows exact same pattern as Discord/Pushbullet/Telegram handlers
- Frontend: config fields, config reader, icon, help docs
- Updated changelogs with webhook, M3U fix, orchestrator hardening
- New discovery_artist_blacklist table with NOCASE name matching
- Filter blacklisted artists from all 6 discovery pool queries, hero
endpoint, and recent releases via SQL subquery and Python set check
- Name-based filtering means one block covers all sources (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer)
- Hover any discovery track row → ✕ button to quick-block that artist
- 🚫 button on Discover hero opens management modal with search-to-add
(powered by enhanced search) and list of blocked artists with unblock
- CRUD API: GET/POST/DELETE /api/discover/artist-blacklist
- Updated changelogs
- Add MusicBrainz to Cache Browser: stats pill, source filter, dedicated
browse endpoint, cards with matched/failed status indicators
- Add Clear MusicBrainz and Clear Failed MB Only to cache clear dropdown
- Move MusicBrainz into Cache Health "By Source" bar chart alongside
Spotify/iTunes/Deezer instead of isolated metric row
- Rename ambiguous "Failed Lookups" to "Failed MB Lookups" in summary cards
- Add browse-musicbrainz and clear-musicbrainz API endpoints
- Add musicbrainz_total/musicbrainz_failed to cache stats response
- Add Global Search Bar and MusicBrainz cache to changelogs
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 "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
normalize_string() was running unidecode on all text, converting
Japanese kanji to Chinese pinyin gibberish (命の灯火 → "tvanimedei").
Now detects CJK characters (kanji, hiragana, katakana, hangul,
fullwidth forms) and skips unidecode for text containing them —
just lowercases instead. Non-CJK text (Latin accents, Cyrillic)
still goes through unidecode normally.
"Believe" was falsely matching "Believe In Me" because SequenceMatcher
gives high scores when the search string is fully contained in the
match. Added a length ratio penalty: when cleaned titles differ in
length by more than 30%, the similarity score is multiplied by the
ratio (min/max length). This crushes prefix/suffix false positives
while leaving exact matches and cleaned variants (remastered, deluxe)
unaffected.
Playlist auto-sync was dropping tracks that failed iTunes/Apple Music
discovery — they never reached the wishlist or download pipeline. Now
undiscovered tracks continue through using available metadata: first
from the spotify_hint (embed scraper data with real Spotify track ID,
name, artists), then from raw playlist fields if a source track ID
exists. Album cover art from the mirrored playlist is included. Only
tracks with no usable ID or name are skipped.
New dedicated Explorer page with interactive node graph visualization.
Users select a mirrored playlist, choose Albums or Discographies mode,
and the app builds a branching tree: playlist root → artist nodes →
album nodes → track nodes. Supports all metadata sources (Spotify,
iTunes, Deezer) with source-aware discovery cache integration.
Features:
- Streaming NDJSON builds tree progressively as artist data arrives
- Circular artist nodes with photos, rounded album nodes with art
- SVG bezier connections that draw in on completion, fade on hover
- Click artist to expand albums, double-click album for track listing
- Single-click albums to select, Select All/Deselect for bulk ops
- Wishlist confirmation modal with per-album progress (NDJSON streaming)
- Artist nodes glow when any of their albums are selected
- Playlist picker with source tabs, discovery % gate (50% minimum)
- Zoom (scroll/pinch/buttons), pan (right/middle-drag), fit-to-view
- Metadata cache for discographies and album track listings
- Owned album detection from library database
- Fallback track-name matching when album names are missing
Plain (unsynced) lyrics were being saved with .lrc extension despite
having no timestamps, making them invalid for Plex and other players
that expect LRC format. Synced lyrics now write as .lrc, plain lyrics
write as .txt. Both types still get embedded in audio file tags.
Updated all file move/rename operations to handle .txt sidecars
alongside .lrc.
Enrichment chips now show live activity: 24h call count for all
services and daily budget usage (used/3,000) with gradient progress
bar for Spotify. Tracking is centralized in _get_enrichment_status
using cumulative stat diffs over a rolling deque — no worker files
modified. Added section header, "Configure →" label for unconfigured
services, and full 1h/24h breakdown in tooltips.
Single path template was missing _artists_list and _itunes_artist_id
context keys, so the collab mode first-artist extraction in
_apply_path_template had nothing to work with — $albumartist resolved
to the full multi-artist string. Added both keys matching the exact
pattern used by album and playlist modes, including the iTunes
spotify_album.external_urls fallback. Updated settings UI hints to
show $albumartist as available for single and playlist templates.
When a user manually matched an artist to a service ID then triggered
enrichment, the worker re-searched by name, failed to find a match,
and overwrote the status back to not_found — despite the ID being
valid. Now both Genius and AudioDB workers check for existing service
IDs before searching by name. If an ID exists (from manual match),
the worker uses it for a direct API lookup to enrich metadata while
preserving the matched status. Added AudioDB lookup-by-ID client
methods for artist, album, and track.
Top-level try/except in do_GET ensures an HTTP response is always sent
— previously, unhandled exceptions caused BaseHTTPRequestHandler to
silently close the connection (ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE). All callback
logging now uses the app logger instead of print() so output appears
in app.log rather than only Docker stdout. Added health check at / to
verify the callback server is running, and startup now logs the actual
bind address to help diagnose port conflicts.
Dashboard now displays all enrichment services as live-status chips
below the core service cards. Each chip shows Running, Idle, Paused,
Stopped, or Not Configured state with color-coded left border accents.
Unconfigured services appear dimmed with dashed borders — clicking any
configurable chip navigates to Settings → Connections and scrolls to
the relevant service section.
Also fixes the Spotify card always being labeled "Apple Music" when
using iTunes fallback — card now always says "Spotify" with an amber
"Using iTunes/Deezer" indicator when fallback is active.
Qobuz login was only available on the Downloads tab when Qobuz was
selected as download source. But Qobuz credentials are also needed
for the enrichment worker which runs independently. Users saw
"Connect Qobuz in Settings" on the dashboard but couldn't find it.
Adds a Qobuz section to Settings → Connections (same pattern as
Tidal's existing Connections section). checkQobuzAuthStatus() now
syncs both the Connections and Downloads tab sections. Login from
either tab updates both. No backend changes — same API endpoints.
The tooltip only checked paused/authenticated/idle/running states.
When Spotify was rate limited or daily budget exhausted, the worker
thread was still alive (sleeping in guards) so it showed "Running"
with no current item and stale 0% progress.
Now checks rate_limited and daily_budget.exhausted before running:
- Rate limited: "Rate Limited — Waiting Xm for rate limit to clear"
- Budget exhausted: "Daily Limit Reached — Resets in Xh Xm"
- No current item: "Waiting for next item..." instead of blank
Also adds rate_limit info object to get_stats() response for the
countdown display.
Cache maintenance:
- Input validation rejects junk entities (Unknown Artist, empty names)
from being cached, with exemptions for synthetic entries (_features,
_tracks suffixes)
- CacheEvictorJob expanded to 4 phases: TTL eviction, junk cleanup,
orphaned search cleanup, MusicBrainz failed lookup cleanup
- MusicBrainz null results now expire after 30 days (was 90) so failed
lookups get retried sooner
Cache health UI:
- Polished modal accessible from Dashboard "Cache Health" button and
repair dashboard health bar
- Shows health status banner (healthy/fair/poor), stat cards, source
breakdown with colored progress bars, type pills, and metrics table
- Repair dashboard shows compact bar with health dot indicator
downloadSelectedCategory() was passing only the category name to the
download function, which fetched ALL tracks in that category. Now
collects checked track IDs from checkboxes BEFORE closing the modal
(DOM is destroyed on close), then filters the fetched tracks to only
the selected ones.
If nothing is checked, downloads the full category (same as before).
Other callers of openDownloadMissingWishlistModal are unaffected —
the new selectedTrackIds parameter defaults to null.
The auth_tidal() endpoint was overriding the user's configured
redirect_uri with one built from request.host. In Docker, request.host
is the container hostname (e.g. "soulsync-webui"), not the external
URL the user configured in settings.
Now checks config_manager for the user's configured redirect_uri first.
Only falls back to request.host dynamic detection if no redirect URI
is configured.
