Discord-reported scenario: a single "Super Single" by Artist1 feat.
Artist2 is also on Artist1's "Super Album". When the album is fully
owned, Artist1's discography correctly shows the single as complete,
but Artist2's discography (where the same track also appears as a
single) shows it as missing.
Two layers needed for the fix:
Scanner: the Jellyfin/Emby path was keeping only ArtistItems[0],
which is almost always equal to the album artist — so the
distinguishing per-track credit was silently suppressed. Now joins
every ArtistItems entry with "; " and stores the value when there
are multiple credits OR when the single credit differs from the
album artist. Plex's originalTitle already carries the full multi-
artist tag, so Plex users benefit without needing the scanner change.
Scorer: _calculate_track_confidence now splits track_artist on the
common multi-artist delimiters real-world tags use (",", ";", "&",
"feat.", "ft.", "featuring", "vs.", "x") and scores each piece
independently against the search artist, taking the max along with
the whole-string similarity as the floor. Never reduces a score —
purely additive matching for previously-missed featured-artist
credits.
Adds 12 regression tests covering the reported scenario, primary-
artist back-compat, every delimiter variant (parametrized), no-
regression on exact match, and the scanner storing every ArtistItem.
Existing Jellyfin-scanned rows persist their old single-artist value
until the next library scan rewrites them; Plex rows benefit
immediately on next match without needing a rescan.
Re-enabling the previously-dead album-aware fallback could in
theory leak false positives if its 0.8 album-title floor were
ineffective. Pin the floor with a clearly-mismatched album hint
("Disney Hits" against "Ray of Light") and assert the search
returns no match. Distinct artist names with no shared words so
the main path actually fails through to the fallback (the prior
draft used "Different Artist" / "Real Artist" which both contain
"Artist" and scored above the main path's threshold, never
reaching the fallback at all).
Two bugs surfacing the same user-reported symptom: a Vaiana OST
track ("Where You Are" by Christopher Jackson) wouldn't match against
a Plex/Emby library because the album sits under the album artist
(Lin-Manuel Miranda).
Bug 1: the data was already there but scoring ignored it. The DB
schema has a tracks.track_artist column, the scanner populates it
from Plex's originalTitle and Jellyfin's ArtistItems[0], and the SQL
WHERE clause already searches it — but _rows_to_tracks dropped the
column on its way to the Python object, and _calculate_track_confidence
only scored against the album-artist JOIN. Candidates whose track-
artist matched got returned by the search and then immediately
filtered out by the low confidence score.
Fix: _rows_to_tracks now propagates row['track_artist'] onto the
returned object, and _calculate_track_confidence takes the better of
(album-artist similarity, track-artist similarity) so soundtracks
match through whichever credit the search query carries.
Bug 2: the album-aware fallback path constructed DatabaseTrack with
kwargs the dataclass doesn't accept (artist_name, album_title,
server_source). Every row TypeError'd, the outer except swallowed it
silently, and the fallback never matched anything since the column
was added — invisible because nothing logged it.
Fix: build DatabaseTrack with valid fields and attach the joined
columns afterwards, the same pattern _rows_to_tracks uses.
Adds 6 regression tests covering: track-artist match (the OST case),
album-artist still matches, scorer takes the better of the two,
defensive handling for tracks without track_artist, search-path
attribute propagation, and the previously-dead album-aware fallback.
The "Clean Search History" automation card kept showing a stale
'DownloadOrchestrator' object has no attribute 'base_url' error
even after the underlying handler bug was fixed in 77d20e9. Root
cause is in the engine, not that handler: AutomationEngine only
captured uncaught exceptions into last_error. Handlers that
report failure by RETURNING {'status': 'error', ...} were treated
as successful from the engine's perspective, so subsequent
gracefully-failing runs never updated the row to reflect the
current state.
Both the timer (run_automation) and event (_handle_event_trigger)
paths now extract the error string from a result whose status is
'error', falling through 'error' -> 'reason' -> 'message' -> a
placeholder so last_error is never None on actual failures
regardless of which key the handler chose. Existing behaviour for
raised exceptions and successful runs is preserved.
Also normalizes _auto_clean_search_history's return key from
'reason' to 'error' so older deployed engines that only check
the canonical key still see the failure.
Adds 7 regression tests covering every result shape the engine
might receive.
The fixture used the wrong env var name (SOULSYNC_DB_PATH) when trying
to redirect ConfigManager at a tmp directory. ConfigManager actually
reads DATABASE_PATH (config/settings.py:49), so the test ConfigManager
loaded — and then saved — at the user's real database/music_library.db.
The retry stub in test_lock_errors_during_retries_log_at_debug_not_error
calls the real _save_to_database after its mocked failures, which then
clobbered the encrypted app_config row with the test fixture's stub
payload {"plex": {"base_url": "http://example.test"}}.
Three layers of fix so this can't happen again:
- Use the correct env var (DATABASE_PATH).
- Pin mgr.database_path / mgr.config_path on the instance after
construction, so the test fixture's tmp paths win even if
ConfigManager's resolution logic changes.
- Assert the resolved database_path is rooted under tmp_path before
returning the fixture, so the test refuses to run if it would touch
a non-tmp DB.
When users bind the same host music directory into both SoulSync
(e.g. /app/Transfer) and a media server like Plex (e.g.
/media/Music), both scans add a track row pointing at the same
physical file via different mount paths. The detector previously
flagged those as duplicate groups even though there's only one
file on disk.
New _is_same_physical_file helper filters pairs where:
- The trailing 3 path segments match (filename + album + artist
folder), so they're the same release on disk.
- The leading mount roots actually differ.
- Durations agree within 1s when both rows carry duration data.
Adds 10 regression tests covering the reported scenario plus
edge cases (Windows separators, case differences, missing
durations, sibling-album false-positive guard).
Pin the new save-retry contract so future changes can't silently
re-introduce the spam reported in #434:
- Happy-path saves emit zero ERROR logs.
- Transient locks during retries log at DEBUG, not ERROR.
- Six attempts run before giving up, with the documented backoff
schedule (0.2 + 0.5 + 1.0 + 2.0 + 4.0s).
- Genuine exhaustion logs a single ERROR and writes config.json.
- sqlite3.OperationalError("database is locked") routes to DEBUG;
any other OperationalError still logs ERROR.
- _connect_db() actually applies WAL + busy_timeout + synchronous=NORMAL.
Also moves `import time` from inside _save_config to the module
top so the tests can monkeypatch sleep cleanly.
User on Docker + HDDs saw "database is locked" errors on every
settings save. Two retries spaced 1 second apart isn't enough when
an enrichment worker is mid-commit on spinning-rust storage, and
each failed attempt logged at ERROR — multiplying the spam.
Three changes in config/settings.py:
- Centralized connection setup in a new _connect_db() helper that
always sets PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL + busy_timeout=30000 +
synchronous=NORMAL. NORMAL is the safe pairing with WAL and avoids
the per-commit fsyncs that make FULL brutal on HDDs, shrinking the
window the competing writer holds the lock.
- _save_to_database logs lock errors at DEBUG instead of ERROR. The
retry loop owns the user-visible message; otherwise every retry
spammed even when the next attempt succeeded.
- _save_config now retries 6 times with exponential backoff
(0.2 + 0.5 + 1.0 + 2.0 + 4.0s ≈ 7.7s of sleep, on top of the 30s
busy_timeout each attempt already runs internally) before logging
a single error and falling back to config.json.
Closes#434.
The bulk download_discography endpoint picked one metadata client
based on the configured primary source and called .get_album() on
every album with that single client. Albums whose IDs came from a
fallback/provider-specific source (e.g. Deezer-formatted IDs surfaced
through Hydrabase) failed with "Album not found" because the primary
client couldn't resolve them.
Bulk now uses the same source-aware resolver
(core.metadata.album_tracks.get_artist_album_tracks) the working
individual-album endpoint already uses, so the resolver's source-chain
walk finds each album under whichever provider actually has it. Also
adds explicit Discogs and Hydrabase support (the old if/elif chain
silently 500'd for those primaries).
Frontend (library.js + pages-extra.js) now sends a richer
`{ albums: [{id, name, artist_name, source}] }` payload so each album
can be resolved through its own source. The legacy `album_ids` payload
still works as a fallback path.
Closes#399.
- normalize album.total_tracks before comparing it in wishlist classification
- avoid mixed-type comparisons when provider payloads serialize track counts as strings
- add regression coverage for numeric strings and invalid values
- carry track-level album art through the quality scanner normalization path
- preserve artist artwork when provider results expose it
- keep album.image_url and album.images populated so the wishlist UI can render the cover consistently
- add a regression test covering provider payloads with image_url on both the track and artist
Body byte-identical to the original. Spotify proxy via registry,
iTunes/Deezer client shims wrap registry helpers,
_resolve_library_file_path, _attempt_download_with_candidates, and
missing_download_executor are injected via init() right after
_init_wishlist_failed where all three deps are already defined.
web_server.py: 35239 → 35063 (-176 lines).
- search metadata providers in source-priority order for each generated query instead of caching one client for the whole scan
- keep the quality-scanner worker provider-neutral and preserve the no-provider error path
- update the quality-scanner tests and remove the obsolete web_server spotify_client injection
Body byte-identical to the original. Wishlist helpers come from
core.wishlist.* directly (aliased to the same names the body uses);
runtime state from core.runtime_state. automation_engine,
soulseek_client, and _sweep_empty_download_directories are injected
via init() right after _init_download_validation.
web_server.py: 35408 → 35239 (-169 lines).
Body byte-identical to the original. matching_engine and
soulseek_client are injected via init() right after _init_discover_hero
since both originals are constructed early in web_server.py boot
(L598/L610) and never rebound.
web_server.py: 35586 → 35408 (-178 lines).
Body byte-identical to the original. Spotify proxy via registry,
_get_active_discovery_source and get_current_profile_id redefined
as stateless shims, _get_metadata_fallback_client injected via init()
because it composes multiple registry helpers wired in web_server.py.
web_server.py: 35753 → 35586 (-167 lines).
Both function bodies (_discovery_score_candidates and
_search_spotify_for_tidal_track) are byte-identical to the originals.
The shared matching_engine instance is injected via init() right after
_init_connection_test; the spotify proxy + _get_metadata_fallback_source
shim follow the same pattern used elsewhere.
web_server.py: 36019 → 35753 (-266 lines).
Both function bodies byte-identical to the originals. The spotify
proxy resolves through core.metadata.registry; the tidal proxy is
backed by an injected getter so a Tidal re-auth that rebinds
web_server.tidal_client is visible. 13 state dicts and helpers are
injected via init() after _init_connection_test, when all deps
already exist.
web_server.py: 36260 → 36019 (-241 lines).
Body byte-identical to the original. Pure stdlib + requests, no
web_server-specific globals or runtime state — no init() needed.
web_server.py: 36500 → 36261 (-239 lines).
- Switch the download lifecycle over to the neutral wishlist track helper name
- Keep the old Spotify helper as a compatibility alias for older callers
- Store track_data as the primary failed-download wishlist payload key and add regression coverage
- Let the wishlist service accept both track_data and spotify_track_data
- Preserve the backward-compatible wrapper while avoiding the keyword argument crash
- Add a regression test for the alias path
- Replace Spotify-only labels in the wishlist and matching surface with metadata/provider-neutral wording
- Keep the existing matching behavior intact while removing the most visible Spotify-first text
- add neutral wishlist payload helpers while keeping legacy Spotify aliases
- route wishlist removal and classification through generic track data
- keep API and service compatibility for existing callers
Body byte-identical to the original. Five deps (soulseek_client,
qobuz_enrichment_worker, hydrabase_client, docker_resolve_url,
docker_resolve_path) are injected via init() right after the
register_runtime_clients block — that is the earliest point at which
hydrabase_client is guaranteed to exist.
web_server.py: 36833 → 36500 (-333 lines).
Body byte-identical to the original. The shared state dict, lock,
docker_resolve_path helper, and automation engine are injected via
init() at the lift point, where all four originals are already defined.
web_server.py: 37015 → 36833 (-182 lines).
Lifts _search_service and its _detect_provider helper. Both bodies are
byte-identical to the originals. The nine enrichment worker handles
(spotify/itunes/mb/lastfm/genius/tidal/qobuz/discogs/audiodb) are
injected via init() right after qobuz is constructed, which is the
last worker to come up — and well before Flask starts accepting
requests, so the route handlers never see unbound workers.
web_server.py: 37245 → 37015 (-230 lines).
Lifts _match_liked_artists_to_all_sources and
_backfill_liked_artist_images. Both bodies are byte-identical to the
originals. Uses the same _SpotifyClientProxy + _get_*_client shim
pattern as core/artists/map.py so the bodies resolve their original
names without modification.
web_server.py: 37501 → 37245 (-256 lines).
Class body byte-identical to original. Module-level IS_SHUTTING_DOWN
flag is mirrored from web_server's own flag in _shutdown_runtime_components
so the monitor loop still sees shutdown signals at the right moment.
Eight web_server-side helpers (_make_context_key, _on_download_completed,
_run_post_processing_worker, _download_track_worker,
_start_next_batch_of_downloads, _orphaned_download_keys,
missing_download_executor, soulseek_client) are injected via init() after
register_runtime_clients, when all symbols are defined and well before
Flask starts accepting requests.
web_server.py: 38220 → 37501 (-719 lines).
