When Spotify is enabled after populating similar artists with only iTunes IDs, the freshness check now detects missing Spotify IDs and triggers a refetch. This fixes the Discover page not showing data when switching from iTunes-only mode.
- Add similar artists fetching to web UI scan loop
- Add database migration for UNIQUE constraint on similar_artists table - Add source-agnostic /api/discover/album endpoint for iTunes support
- Fix NOT NULL constraint on discovery_recent_albums blocking iTunes albums
- Add fallback to watchlist artists when no similar artists exist
- Add /api/discover/refresh and /api/discover/diagnose endpoints
- Add retry logic with exponential backoff for iTunes API calls
- Ensure cache_discovery_recent_albums runs even when pool population skips
Implement dual-source architecture where iTunes serves as always-available
primary source and Spotify as preferred source when authenticated.
- Make watchlist scans provider-aware (manual and auto paths)
- Update discovery pool population to process both sources
- Update recent albums caching for both sources
- Create source-specific curated playlists (Fresh Tape, Archives)
- Add on-the-fly iTunes ID resolution for similar artists
- Add iTunes ID check to similar artists freshness validation
- Fix sqlite3.Row compatibility in personalized playlists
- Fix iTunes ISO 8601 date format parsing
- Update API endpoints to serve source-appropriate data
This ensures the app remains fully functional if Spotify becomes
unavailable (rate limits, auth issues, bans) by seamlessly falling
back to iTunes data that has been building in parallel.
Refactored artist scanning logic to use the active metadata provider (Spotify or iTunes) for fetching artist data, discography, and album tracks. Introduced helper methods to select the correct client and artist ID based on the provider, and updated image and similar artist handling accordingly. This enables watchlist scanning to work with iTunes when Spotify is not authenticated, improving flexibility and provider support.
Introduces iTunes artist ID support to WatchlistArtist and database schema, enabling proactive backfilling of missing provider IDs (Spotify/iTunes) for watchlist artists. Updates WatchlistScanner to use MetadataService for provider-agnostic scanning and ID matching, and modifies web_server to support scans with either provider. Includes new database migration and update methods for iTunes and Spotify artist IDs.
Introduces new filters for live versions, remixes, acoustic versions, and compilation albums to the watchlist artist configuration. Updates the database schema, backend API, and web UI to support these options, allowing users to customize which content types are included for each artist in their watchlist.
Watchlist will allow the user to select artist to 'watch' and the app will automatically add new releases by those artists to the wishlist for automatic download.
