When downloading an album/EP, perform a single album-level search on Soulseek to find a user with the complete album folder before falling back to per-track search. This improves album completion rates and ensures consistent quality across tracks.
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.
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.
Enhanced the music matching engine to use stricter version handling, rebalance title/artist/duration weights, and raise confidence thresholds to reduce false positives. Updated string normalization to better handle separators and special characters. In the web UI, improved album ID sanitization and added a placeholder for missing album images in the wishlist view.
Adds strict checks to ensure Soulseek track versions (live, remix, acoustic, instrumental) are only matched if the Spotify track title contains corresponding version indicators. This prevents mismatched versions from being accepted and applies a reduced penalty for matching non-original versions.
