Use MusicBrainz IDs returned by AudioDB as fallbacks when MB lookup is missing. The patch maps strMusicBrainzID/strMusicBrainzAlbumID/strMusicBrainzArtistID to MUSICBRAINZ_RECORDING_ID, MUSICBRAINZ_RELEASE_ID, and MUSICBRAINZ_ARTIST_ID respectively (only if those tags are not already present), sets recording_mbid and artist_mbid where applicable, and adds informational prints for debugging.
Request recording 'releases' from MusicBrainz and, when available, capture the first release MBID into id_tags['MUSICBRAINZ_RELEASE_ID']. Persist this release (album) MBID across tag formats by adding TXXX ('MusicBrainz Album Id'), a generic tag 'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID', and an iTunes MP4 freeform key. This allows tracks to be associated with their MusicBrainz release/album.
Stop recomputing expected file paths during verification and instead use the exact path computed/moved during post-processing (context['_final_processed_path']). If that context value is missing, assume success to avoid false failures and mark the task completed.
Also store the computed final path into context in _post_process_matched_download so verification uses the exact same path. Add logic to handle cases where the source vanished but a variant (quality-tagged) file exists in the destination — treat that as success, set the final path, download art and generate LRC.
In the post-processing worker: skip verification when the task is already completed or marked as stream_processed, check for stream_processed status while searching, increase file search retries from 3 to 5 with longer sleeps, and re-check stream_processed before marking a task failed. Improve log messages and error text to reduce false negatives caused by independent recomputation or concurrent stream processing.
Add a recovery step during wishlist processing that scans in-memory download_tasks (under tasks_lock) for tasks marked 'failed' or 'not_found' but not present in permanently_failed_tracks, and appends normalized track entries (including retry_count, failure_reason, spotify_track, and cached candidates). This prevents tasks that were force-marked failed by stuck-detection logic from being silently skipped in wishlist sync. Also fix post-processing context lookup by rebuilding the context key with _make_context_key(task_username, task_filename) so it matches how context keys are stored.
Introduce a RepairWorker to scan the transfer folder and automatically detect/repair broken album track numbers (e.g. the "all tracks = 01" bug). The worker uses mutagen to read/write tags, fuzzy-matches titles against an album tracklist (Spotify/iTunes via a SpotifyClient), updates filenames and the tracks DB file_path when renamed, and caches album tracklists. It also adds DB schema support (repair_status, repair_last_checked, and an index).
Integrates the worker into the web server: initializes and starts the worker, and exposes /api/repair/status, /api/repair/pause and /api/repair/resume endpoints. Adds UI elements (button, tooltip), client-side JS to poll and control the worker, CSS for visuals/animations, and a new image asset (whisoul.png).
Add a new docs/api-response-shapes.md describing expected Spotify/iTunes dataclass and raw-dict response shapes and client behavior. Also update core/wishlist_service.py to include 'track_number' (default 1) and 'disc_number' (default 1) in each formatted track dict so consumers receive track ordering metadata.
Introduce an "Active Downloads" section to the dashboard and wire up client-side plumbing to populate and update it. Adds escapeForInlineJs to safely embed values into inline JS attributes and replaces several inline onclick usages (search/genre/listenbrainz/artist buttons) to prevent quoting issues. Implements updateDashboardDownloads, createDashboardDiscoverBubble, and integrates dashboard updates into artist/search/discover flows (including register/discover download persistence and monitor hooks). Adds dashboard-specific CSS for discover/artist bubbles and minor style fixes (artist image sizing, keyframe formatting) plus a mobile CSS tweak for artist images.
Introduce a Hydrabase P2P mirror worker and integrate it into the web UI and server flows. Adds core/hydrabase_worker.py: a background thread with a capped queue (1000), enqueue API, rate limiting, basic stats (sent/dropped/errors), and logic to send JSON requests over a provided WebSocket (responses received and discarded). Integrates the worker into web_server.py (import, startup init, status/pause/resume endpoints, and enqueues queries from multiple search endpoints when dev mode is enabled). Adds UI elements, JavaScript polling/toggle logic, and CSS styling for a Hydrabase status button in webui (index.html, static/script.js, static/style.css) to display and control worker state.
Introduce a developer-only Hydrabase testing UI and backend WebSocket integration. Adds a simple dev-mode toggle (password 'hydratest') and new API endpoints (/api/dev-mode, /api/hydrabase/connect, /api/hydrabase/disconnect, /api/hydrabase/status, /api/hydrabase/send) that use websocket-client to connect/send raw JSON to a Hydrabase instance. Frontend changes include a Hydrabase nav/page, payload editors, response panel, dev-mode UI in Settings, associated JS handlers, CSS styling, and an icon asset. Also add websocket-client to requirements.
Introduce $artistletter and $disc template variables across config, UI, and backend to support artist-first-letter tokens and multi-disc albums. Update web_server.py to include disc_number in template context, prefer user-controlled $disc in templates, and create configurable disc subfolders using a new file_organization.disc_label setting. Update example and active config, web UI to expose the new variable and disc label selector, and script.js to validate, load, and save the new settings and substitutions.
Introduce a configurable "lossy_copy" feature that creates an MP3 copy alongside downloaded FLAC files. Adds default config (example and runtime) and UI controls for enabling the feature and selecting an MP3 bitrate. Implements _create_lossy_copy in web_server.py which checks the FLAC extension, respects the configured bitrate (default 320 kbps), locates ffmpeg (including a local tools/ffmpeg fallback), performs conversion, and attempts to update the QUALITY tag via mutagen. The feature is invoked after post-processing/moving downloads. Logs and graceful failures (missing ffmpeg, timeouts, tag errors) are included.
Introduce a new $quality template variable that is only substituted into filenames to avoid splitting album folders when tracks of mixed qualities are present. Updates include:
- web_server.py: populate template contexts with 'quality' (from context['_audio_quality']), strip $quality from folder components, substitute it only in the filename, and clean up empty brackets/parentheses/dashes when the variable is empty.
- config/config.example.json and config/config.json: document the new variable in the file_organization template variables string.
- webui/index.html and webui/static/script.js: update UI help text and client-side template validation to include $quality.
This prevents folder fragmentation for albums with mixed-quality files while still allowing quality information in filenames.
