Adds Tidal as a third download source alongside Soulseek and YouTube. Uses the tidalapi library with device-flow authentication to search and download tracks in configurable quality (Low/High/Lossless/HiRes) with automatic fallback. Integrates into the download orchestrator for all modes (Tidal Only, Hybrid with fallback chain), the transfer monitor, post-processing pipeline, and file finder. Frontend includes download settings with quality selector, device auth flow, and dynamic sidebar/dashboard labels that reflect the active download source. No breaking changes for existing users.
Filled all missing Hydrabase fallthrough gates across 6 endpoints (artist album tracks, iTunes album, discover album, Spotify track, both similar artists), added track_number/disc_number to Track dataclass, fixed get_album_tracks to send soul_id instead of text query, mapped soul_id field from Hydrabase responses across all search methods, updated 7 frontend call sites to pass album name/artist params, and fixed M3U export defaulting to enabled when users never turned it on.
Fix short artist names (e.g. "ano") getting buried by wildcard matches. Re-ranks Spotify and iTunes results so exact name matches appear first, without changing what's returned.
SoulSync was importing from all Navidrome libraries regardless of user access restrictions. Added a "Music Library" dropdown in Navidrome settings that lets users scope imports to a specific music folder. Uses the Subsonic musicFolderId parameter on artist, album, and search API calls. Selecting "All Libraries" reverts to the previous behavior.
AcoustID sometimes returns featuring info in square brackets like [W/ Barnes Blvd.] instead of parentheses. The normalizer only stripped parenthetical featuring tags, so these tracks failed verification and got quarantined despite being correct. Now strips [W/ ...], [with ...], [feat. ...], and [ft. ...] bracket patterns too.
Sync status was being saved to storage/sync_status.json on disk, which fails in Docker with permission denied errors. Moved to the existing database preference system so it works in all environments.
Introduce batch removal support for wishlist tracks. Adds a new POST endpoint /api/wishlist/remove-batch that validates input, removes multiple tracks via the wishlist service, logs the result and returns a removed count. Updates the frontend (webui/static/script.js) to provide per-track and per-album checkboxes, a Select All button, a batch action bar with selection count and a Remove Selected action (with confirmation), and logic to refresh the view and wishlist count after removal. Styles (webui/static/style.css) are extended to support unified watchlist/wishlist batch bars, checkbox styling, and a Select All button. Preserves existing single-item removal behavior.
Increase the minimum confidence cutoff to 0.9 in multiple discovery/search routines to reduce false positives. Affected functions: _search_spotify_for_tidal_track, _run_youtube_discovery_worker, _run_listenbrainz_discovery_worker, and _run_beatport_discovery_worker. This tightens matching criteria (previously 0.6/0.7/0.75) to favor higher-confidence matches, potentially reducing incorrect matches at the cost of fewer total matches.
Add server endpoint to trigger a manual download for a user-selected candidate from the candidates modal (/api/downloads/task/<id>/download-candidate). The endpoint validates input, resets task and batch state (status, error, used_sources, active_count, permanently_failed_tracks), reconstructs Track/TrackResult objects and dispatches a background download attempt via missing_download_executor. Update the frontend candidates modal to show a download button per candidate, wire it to POST the candidate to the new API, and add CSS for table layout and download button styling. Enables restarting failed/not_found tasks by choosing a specific source without blocking the UI.
Expose cached search results for failed downloads and add a UI to review them. Implements a new GET /api/downloads/task/<task_id>/candidates endpoint that serializes any cached_candidates and track_info for a task and returns an error message and candidate count. The download worker now collects top raw search results (all_raw_results) and stores them in download_tasks[task_id]['cached_candidates'] when no match is found so users can inspect what Soulseek returned. The batch status payload includes has_candidates to mark "not_found" tasks as reviewable. On the frontend, new script functions (_ensureCandidatesClickListener, showCandidatesModal, _renderCandidatesModal, closeCandidatesModal) fetch and render a modal table of candidates; existing status rendering is updated to attach click handlers and error tooltips. Styles for the modal and a clickable .has-candidates state are added to style.css.
Add a POST /api/quarantine/clear endpoint to delete all files and folders inside the ss_quarantine directory (uses docker_resolve_path and reports removed item count). Implement _sweep_empty_download_directories() to walk the downloads folder bottom-up and remove empty directories (preserves root download dir, skips hidden entries, robust against locked/non-empty dirs). Wire the sweeper into existing cleanup flows: clear_finished_downloads(), the periodic _simple_monitor_task(), and the failed-tracks post-cleanup path so leftover empty folders are removed. Also add a Clear Quarantine button in the web UI and a clearQuarantine() client function to call the new API and show feedback.
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.
Add limit=50 to spotify_client.get_artist_albums so up to 50 albums/singles/compilations are returned per request, reducing the need for extra pagination and ensuring more complete discography results from a single call.
Store album artists in the Spotify track data structure (handles both dict and object album forms) so downstream processing has access to album-level artist metadata. Also update missing-track processing to fall back to source_info['watchlist_artist_name'] when artist_name is absent, ensuring artist context is preserved for legacy/watchlist-sourced entries.
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.
In web_server.py, increase the minimum artist similarity from 0.4 to 0.5 in both cache validation and candidate scoring. Add a title similarity floor (min_title_similarity = 0.5) to _discovery_score_candidates: compute cleaned/core titles, allow a core-title exact match to bypass the floor, otherwise require title similarity >= 0.5. Only candidates that pass both artist and title floors proceed to full weighted scoring. This reduces false positives where a strong artist match could previously mask a poor title match.
Introduce a generic score_track_match(...) in core/matching_engine.py and make calculate_match_confidence(...) delegate to it. The new scorer is source-agnostic, consolidates artist/title/duration logic (core-title fast path, cleaned similarity, weighted 60/30/10 scoring) and improves artist matching.
In web_server.py add cache-validation (_validate_discovery_cache_artist) and a reusable _discovery_score_candidates(...) helper that calls the new scorer. Propagate per-match confidence through discovery flows (Tidal, YouTube, ListenBrainz, Beatport), increase Spotify/iTunes search limits, add an extended high-limit search strategy, tighten per-source thresholds, and save match confidence to the discovery cache. Overall this centralizes and standardizes matching logic and improves accuracy/validation for cached discovery results.
Add album.artists to the album data when adding wishlist tracks and change the missing-tracks processing to prefer album-level artists for constructing artist context. The code now uses spotify_data.get('album') or {} and picks artist_ctx from album.artists first, falls back to source_info.artist_name (with safe JSON parsing if source_info is a string), then to track-level artists, and finally to a generic Unknown Artist. This ensures tracks from compilations or albums where the album artist differs from track artists are grouped consistently.
Ensure Jellyfin music libraries are loaded after users by chaining loadJellyfinUsers() with .then(loadJellyfinMusicLibraries()) at three call sites (settings load, server toggle, and connection test) to avoid race conditions. Also add database write-ahead log and shared-memory files (database/music_library.db-wal and database/music_library.db-shm).
Expand track title normalization and refine album grouping logic.
- core/acoustid_verification.py: Broadened the parenthetical-suffix regex to strip year-based remasters and additional variants (e.g. "2025 Remaster", "single edit", "album edit") while still removing common extras like (Live), (Deluxe), (Radio Edit), and featuring tags.
- web_server.py: Restrict the smart album grouping to only run for singles/auto-detected albums; explicit album downloads now preserve the original Spotify album name to avoid mangling names (e.g. reworked/remastered vs deluxe). Added explicit logging for both smart grouping and skipped grouping paths. The verification post-processing worker now checks an is_album_download flag in context and skips re-grouping when true, with fallback logging on errors.
These changes prevent unintended renaming of explicit album downloads and improve normalization of common title suffixes.
- matching_engine.py: Add 'single edit' and 'album edit' tokens and clarify radio edit comment so edit/cut variants are recognized as different cuts rather than being silently normalized away.
- database/music_database.py: Fix SQL param ordering by appending server_source to params; add a pre-step to strip "(with ...)" / "[with ...]" only when used inside brackets (so titles like "Stay With Me" are preserved); stop removing edit/version tokens in the generic cleanup and document that radio/single/album edits are treated as distinct by the similarity scorer to avoid incorrect matches.
- web_server.py: Increase DB match confidence threshold from 0.70 to 0.80 and update the runtime check accordingly.
These changes prevent edit/cut variants from being conflated with original recordings, improve title normalization for "with" featuring syntax in brackets, and fix a params ordering bug and a too-low match threshold.
Introduce a global watchlist override feature and UI to control release/content filters across all watchlist artists. Backend: add /api/watchlist/global-config (GET/POST) for reading/updating global settings, validation to require at least one release type when override is enabled, and _apply_watchlist_global_overrides() to apply settings to WatchlistArtist objects. Scanners (manual and automatic) now call _apply_watchlist_global_overrides() and perform additional checks (_should_include_release, _should_include_track) to skip releases/tracks according to config. Frontend: add a Global Watchlist Settings modal, controls (release types, content filters, include-all shortcut), save/validation logic, banners/notices when global override is active, and integration into the watchlist modal and per-artist config. Styles: add supporting CSS for the modal and banners. Small cleanup/whitespace adjustments included.
Use UUID nonces to correlate requests/responses and robustly handle interleaved stats/heartbeat messages from the Hydrabase server. Adds _extract_stats and _extract_results helpers, records last_peer_count and timestamp, and loops on recv() with timeouts to drain non-result messages until the matching response (or a results message without a nonce) arrives. Mirrors the same nonce/send-and-drain logic in HydrabaseWorker, adds necessary imports (time, uuid), and improves logging and timeout handling to avoid returning stale or misattributed data.
Add support for cycling hero/featured similar artists by introducing a last_featured timestamp and using it to prefer least-recently-featured artists. Changes include:
- DB migration: add _add_similar_artists_last_featured_column and call it during migrations to add a last_featured TIMESTAMP column (non-fatal on error).
- Query changes: get_top_similar_artists now excludes watchlist artists via a LEFT JOIN and wa.id IS NULL and orders results by last_featured (nulls first), then by last_featured asc, occurrence_count desc, and similarity_rank asc. The query aliasing was also added for clarity.
- New helper: mark_artists_featured updates similar_artists.last_featured = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP for shown artists.
- Web server: increase fetch limit to 50, remove random shuffle and instead take the top 10 (already ordered by cycling logic), and call mark_artists_featured to rotate featured artists.
These changes aim to provide deterministic, least-recently-shown cycling of hero artists while keeping watchlist artists out of recommendations.
