The Download Discography modal exposed only Albums/EPs/Singles, its EPs toggle did
nothing, and Live/Compilations/Featured were missing — so you couldn't fine-filter
a bulk download the way Artist Detail lets you browse.
Root cause: the modal's endpoint (/api/artist/<id>/discography) used the base
get_artist_discography, which lumps EPs into singles, and the modal only read
{albums, singles} — so the EPs bucket was always empty (dead toggle). It also had
no content-type (Live/Compilation/Featured) classification at all.
- Backend: the endpoint now uses get_artist_detail_discography — the SAME split
Artist Detail uses — and returns a separate `eps` list.
- Frontend: read `eps`; tag each card with data-is-live/compilation/featured via a
new shared _classifyReleaseContent() (also adopted by the Artist Detail cards so
the two can't drift); add Live/Compilations/Featured filter buttons; combined
category+content filtering. The download payload is built from VISIBLE checked
cards, so every toggle now actually changes what downloads.
- Regression test: get_artist_detail_discography splits an EP into the eps bucket.
- .sidebar-header: real frosted-glass blur of content scrolling behind it —
made the background translucent (was an opaque base layer), added
backdrop-filter blur, and raised the header above the nav (z-index) so nav
items actually sit in its backdrop.
- .dl-nav-badge: vertically centered on the right (top:50% + translateY) instead
of pinned to the top-right corner.
- Removed border-top-right-radius from .sidebar and .sidebar-header (square top).
- Hide the "My Accounts" + "My Settings" header buttons for admin profiles —
both are inert for admin (every service is "Managed in Settings", and My
Settings is an empty pointer note); kept for non-admins who get real UI.
Reported by @Lysticity: opening Settings reset the whole config to defaults. The
chain: GET /api/settings 500s (their env: ConfigManager missing redacted_config)
-> loadSettingsData() called response.json() WITHOUT checking response.ok, so the
error body {"error": ...} was treated as settings -> every field populated as
`settings.x?.y || ''` blanked to defaults -> autosave then wrote those defaults
over the real config.
Fix (settings.js): bail BEFORE touching any field when the response isn't ok / is
an error body, set window._settingsLoadFailed, and guard BOTH save paths
(debouncedAutoSaveSettings + saveSettings) on it. The flag clears on the next
successful load. So any load failure (500, lock, network) now leaves the saved
config untouched instead of wiping it.
The redacted_config method exists in all 2.7.x source + on dev (their 500 looks
like a stale/mismatched build), but the UI must not destroy config on ANY failed
load. Regression test pins redacted_config stays a callable method on the class
(its removal is exactly what 500s the endpoint).
The Favorites collection walker (_iter_collection_resource_ids) broke on ANY
non-200 — including a transient 429. So a rate-limit mid-pagination silently
truncated the collection: the log shows `status=429` then `Retrieved 98/100`,
and the mirror saved 98 of a 524-track favorites list. The auto-sync cycle only
"worked" because it dodged the 429. The regular-playlist paginator already
retries 429; the collection walker didn't.
Fix: retry the same cursor page with backoff (5/10/15/20s, 4 attempts) on 429,
mirroring the playlist paginator; 401/403 still bail (+ reconnect flag), other
non-200 still break. Regression tests: 429 mid-walk completes the full chain;
exhausted retries return partial without hanging; 429 doesn't set reconnect.
wolf's report: Spotify shows 'Calma - Remix', Find & Add searches that literal
string, but the library stores the track as just 'Calma' (only the 3:58 duration
marks it the remix). The literal LIKE '%calma - remix%' misses, so it fell to the
OR-fuzzy fallback which floods on the common word 'remix' (20 unrelated '... remix'
hits). Dropping '- Remix' (searching 'Calma') finds it instantly.
Fix: search_tracks (and api_search_tracks) now retry on the BASE title — the part
before Spotify's ' - ' version separator — BEFORE the OR-fuzzy flood. So
'Calma - Remix' resolves to 'Calma' (or 'Calma (Remix)') and the noise fallback is
never reached when the base matches. New core.text.title_match.base_title_before_dash
(splits the first spaced ' - '; leaves bare hyphens like 'Up-Tight' alone).
Tests: pure helper (3) + real-DB integration reproducing the Calma case, the
parenthesized-remix variant, plain-title-unaffected, and no-flood (4). 64
search/match tests green.
The Deezer ARL field round-trips a redaction sentinel for a saved-but-untouched
secret (shown as dots). The save path already guards against the sentinel
overwriting the real token (ConfigManager.set), so the ARL was never actually
lost — but the connection TEST read the field value and sent the sentinel as the
token, so Deezer returned USER_ID=0 ('Invalid ARL token') after navigating away
and back. That false failure made it look like the ARL kept resetting.
Fix:
- ConfigManager.resolve_secret(key, posted): empty/sentinel posted value -> the
stored value; a real string -> a genuine new secret. Reusable for any secret
connection-test (single source of truth).
- /api/deezer-download/test now resolves the effective ARL via resolve_secret, so
an untouched field tests the stored token.
- testDeezerDownloadConnection() strips the sentinel before sending (untouched ->
empty -> backend uses the saved token).
Seam/regression tests for resolve_secret (sentinel/empty/none -> stored, real ->
passthrough, nothing stored -> empty). JS integrity 64 green.
Enrichment matched artists by NAME ONLY (0.85 gate), so for a common name
('Rone' has ~5 artists) it stored whichever the source ranked first — often the
wrong one, which then drove a wrong/sparse library 'Standard' discography while
'Enhanced' (the real owned albums) showed the full set.
Fix — use the decisive signal the library already has (the albums you OWN):
- worker_utils: pick_artist_by_catalog() + catalog_overlap_score() +
owned_album_titles()/release_titles(). When 2+ candidates clear the name gate,
fetch each one's catalog and choose the one overlapping the owned albums; falls
back to the current best-by-name pick when there's nothing to disambiguate or
no overlap (so the common single-candidate path makes no extra API calls).
- Wired into Spotify (covers Spotify-Free, same client), iTunes, Deezer (now
multi-candidate search_artists + get_artist_info store), and MusicBrainz
(match_artist gains owned_titles; release-groups as the catalog).
Re-match path (#868):
- build_reset_query now also clears the stored source-ID column for artist/album
item resets — previously a 're-match' only nulled match_status, so the worker's
existing-id short-circuit re-confirmed the WRONG id and never re-resolved. Tracks
excluded (ids live in tags, not a column).
- MusicBrainz also self-corrects its 90-day name->mbid cache: match_artist bypasses
a cached mbid whose catalog has ZERO overlap with the owned albums, so a re-match
isn't blocked by a stale wrong cache entry.
Tests: shared selector (9), per-worker disambiguation for all 4 sources + MB
backward-compat + MB cache-revalidation (8), reset-clears-id (2). 99 worker/
enrichment tests green.
Four refinements on top of the tiered matcher:
1. Direct source track-ID tier (new top tier): enrichment writes each source's own
track ID into the file tags (spotify_track_id/deezer_track_id/itunes_track_id/...).
If we have the active source's track ID, fetch that exact track by ID via
get_track_details — zero search. Tiers are now: track-ID -> ISRC -> album->track
-> artist+title. _read_file_ids reads ISRC + all per-source IDs in one tag read.
2. Skip already-proposed tracks: a re-run loads existing finding entity_ids for the
job and skips those tracks before any API call (pending stays deduped, dismissed
stays dismissed) — re-runs are cheap.
3. Wrong-version guard: the fuzzy tiers (album-search + track search) reject a
candidate whose length differs from ours by >5s (live/edit/remix with same title).
_load_tracks now selects t.duration; exact tiers (track-ID/ISRC/stored-album-ID)
skip the guard.
4. Tighter album matching: same-title cuts in an album are disambiguated by closest
duration when track_number doesn't decide it.
Findings record matched_via = track_id | isrc | album | search. 30 repair tests pass
(added track-ID tier, duration guard, dedup-skip, and unit coverage).
Replaces the blind fuzzy search with a smart hierarchy that uses the data we
already have, best identity first:
1. ISRC embedded in the file tags (enriched track) -> exact track.
2. Album -> track: use the album's stored source ID (albums.spotify_album_id /
itunes_album_id / deezer_id / musicbrainz_release_id / audiodb_id) when the
ALBUM is enriched (even if the track isn't); else find the album by searching
'artist album', then locate our track in that album's tracklist by normalized
title (track_number breaks ties). Pins the exact album context. (artist->album->track)
3. Plain artist+title search with similarity scoring. (artist->track) — loosest.
_load_tracks now returns dict rows (adds track_number + the album source-id
columns). Findings record matched_via = isrc | album | search. All clients
(spotify/deezer/itunes/discogs) expose search_albums + get_album_tracks with a
uniform {'items': [...]} shape, so the album tier is source-agnostic.
26 repair tests pass (added album-tier + _find_track_in_album coverage).
The job was doing a blind fuzzy search for every low-quality track, ignoring that
enrichment writes each track's ISRC + per-source IDs into the file tags. Now it
reads the file's embedded ISRC and resolves the EXACT track via each source's
'isrc:' search (universal cross-source key), guarded by an ISRC-equality check so
a source that ignores the syntax can't produce a false match — exact track, exact
album context, one call. Falls back to the name/artist fuzzy search only for
un-enriched tracks with no usable ISRC. Findings record matched_via=isrc|search.
4 new seam tests (guard accept/reject, ISRC-preferred-over-fuzzy, fuzzy fallback).
Phase 2 of the redesign. The tool that judged quality by extension and auto-dumped
matches into the wishlist is gone; quality scanning is now the reviewed
quality_upgrade repair job.
Removed:
- Frontend: Tools-page Quality Scanner card, its JS handlers/poller/socket listener,
help tooltip + tour entry (webui index.html, core.js, helper.js, wishlist-tools.js).
- Backend: /api/quality-scanner/{start,status,stop} endpoints, the in-memory state +
executor + 1s socket broadcast, the QualityScannerDeps/run_quality_scanner shim.
- core/discovery/quality_scanner.py: the auto-acting worker + deps class (the shared
match/normalize helpers stay — the new job imports them).
Rewired:
- Automation 'start_quality_scan' action now triggers the quality_upgrade repair job
via repair_worker.run_job_now() (AutomationDeps gains run_repair_job_now, drops the
4 scanner fields). Action block's vestigial scope field removed (scope lives in the
job's settings now). NOTE: the 'quality_scan_completed' trigger no longer fires (the
repair job doesn't emit it).
- Updated all automation test _build_deps helpers + conftest tool-progress harness;
deleted the obsolete worker test. 528 affected tests pass; 6123 collect cleanly.
QUALITY_TIERS / _get_quality_tier_from_extension kept (used elsewhere).
The old Quality Scanner tool judged quality by file EXTENSION only (a 128k and a
320k MP3 looked identical), ignored the bitrate-based quality profile, used min()
of enabled tiers so the default profile flagged the ENTIRE non-lossless library,
and auto-dumped every match into the wishlist with no review.
This new repair job does it properly:
- meets_preferred_quality(): pure, bitrate-AWARE decision honoring every enabled
quality bucket (320 MP3 passes a FLAC+320+256 profile; 128 MP3 doesn't). Floor
is the worst enabled bucket, not the best.
- scans watchlist artists or whole library, finds below-quality tracks, matches a
better version at scan time (reusing the existing tested match helpers), emits a
FINDING showing the match + confidence. Off by default; nothing auto-queued.
- _fix_quality_upgrade apply handler adds the matched track WITH album context to
the wishlist — the user-approved version of what the old tool did silently.
- Transcode/fake-lossless detection intentionally left to the existing Fake
Lossless Detector job.
12 seam tests incl. a regression pinning the default-profile flooding bug. The old
tool is still in place; removing it + rewiring its automation action is the next step.
When the modal opens instantly (before data loads), it was rendered in the
'fresh' phase — showing clickable Start Discovery / Wing It buttons over an empty
table, even though discovery is already auto-starting. Open it in 'discovering'
instead: the footer becomes the non-interactive 'Discovering matches…' info line
and the progress text reads 'Starting discovery…' instead of 'Click Start
Discovery to begin…'. Only Close stays clickable while the table loads.
The prior UX commit removed a redundant frontend pre-fetch, but the modal was
still only opened at the END of openTidalDiscoveryModal — AFTER awaiting
/api/tidal/discovery/start, whose backend handler fetches the whole playlist
synchronously (Tidal sleeps 1s/page, ~10s) before responding. So the modal still
didn't appear for ~10s. Now open the modal first (with a 'Loading playlist from
Tidal…' note), then fire the discovery-start POST and begin polling; return early
so the shared open at the bottom is skipped for this path.
Clicking Discover on a fresh Tidal card awaited /api/tidal/playlist/<id> (which
paginates Tidal with a 1s sleep per page + rate-limit throttle, ~10s for a large
playlist) BEFORE opening the modal — and the backend discovery worker then
re-fetched the same playlist anyway. Now that the modal builds its rows from the
backend discovery results (#867), open it immediately and let discovery populate
it: no blocking pre-fetch, no redundant double-fetch of the playlist.
Two issues in the same path:
1. The shared discovery modal pre-renders one row per track from a
separately-fetched frontend track list, then the poll dropped any backend
result without a pre-rendered row (if (!row) return). When the frontend's
track fetch came back rate-limited/partial (~21) while discovery's own fetch
got all 59, the surplus results vanished. Now the modal CREATES a row for any
result lacking one, so authoritative backend results drive the list (fixes
all sources sharing the modal).
2. get_playlist hydrated a whole relationships page in one _get_tracks_batch
call, but Tidal caps filter[id] at 20/request, silently truncating larger
pages. Chunk to the cap like get_album_tracks already does.
Seam + regression tests (tests/test_tidal_playlist_batch_chunking.py).
Status checks asked is_spotify_authenticated() (official OAuth only) instead of
is_spotify_metadata_available(), so a Spotify-Free primary read as disconnected.
get_primary_source_status had spotify_free awareness but it was dead code:
get_client_for_source('spotify') returns None unless officially authed, so the
free-availability probe never had a client. Fetch the client directly for that
check; add the missing free branch to the dashboard test message. Seam + regression tests.
The reconcile read each completed task's final_file_path to find paths — but not
every import path sets it (the verification worker marks the task completed
without it), so tracks that imported via that path were silently dropped (user
saw 3 of 5 symlinks). Root cause: leaning on a fragile per-task field.
Now reconcile_batch_playlists identifies the organize playlists the batch touched
(its own + any reached via a completed track's source_info provenance) and
rebuilds each from CURRENT library ownership via _rebuild_one_from_db
(check_track_exists over membership). It just asks the library what's owned, so
it's robust to HOW a track imported (modal worker / slskd monitor / verification
worker) and still prunes tracks that left. Takes a db handle; all three callers
pass MusicDatabase().
Reconcile tests rewritten for the DB-rebuild form (organize batch, wishlist
provenance, non-organize skip, plain no-op). 973 downloads/imports/playlist
tests pass.
on_download_completed and check_batch_completion_v2 are duplicate completion
paths. Monitor-detected downloads (Deezer / slskd-monitor / verification-worker
imports) finish the batch via the V2 path, but the materialize reconcile was
only added to on_download_completed — so those batches never built playlist
folders (no '[Playlist Folder] Rebuilt' line at all). Add the same non-fatal
reconcile to the V2 path. Now all three completion points (both lifecycle paths
+ the master.py all-owned path) materialize. 550 tests pass.
The download modal auto-saves an M3U on every render (save_to_disk, no force).
When m3u_export.enabled is off it writes nothing — but only AFTER ~30s of
per-track DB search + fuzzy matching, which it then discards; fired repeatedly
during analysis it jammed the batch (0 tasks, user cancels). Bail out at the top
of generate_playlist_m3u for exactly that case (save_to_disk and not force and
not enabled). Manual 'Export as M3U' sends force=True and content-only requests
send save_to_disk=False — both unaffected.
Pre-existing bug, unrelated to the playlist-folder feature, but it was blocking
the discovery->download flow.
Symmetric to the post-download reconcile (which handles ADDITIONS): when a
playlist's membership is re-synced (the mirror step — scheduled refresh or the
manual mirror endpoint), rebuild its folder from current membership WITH prune
IF it's organize-by-playlist. So a track that just LEFT the playlist has its
symlink cleaned up the instant membership changes, not only on the next download.
Factored a shared _rebuild_one_from_db (used by the manual 'Rebuild' button and
the mirror hook) + rebuild_mirrored_playlist_if_organized. Gated to organized
playlists, non-fatal at both mirror call sites.
Now the invariant 'folder = the playlist's current owned members' holds on every
change: additions caught at download, removals caught at mirror. 2 new tests
(removed track pruned; non-organized skipped). 985 + 277 tests pass.
Replaces the two organize-only triggers with a single reconcile_batch_playlists
called at both batch-completion points. It groups the batch's newly-resolved
tracks by their per-track playlist provenance:
- the batch's OWN organize playlist → full (re)build with prune, and
- a track that completed for a DIFFERENT playlist (e.g. a WISHLIST fulfilling a
track that belongs to an organize playlist) → ADDED to that folder, no prune.
So a late wishlist arrival now lands in its playlist folder immediately, instead
of only on the next sync/manual rebuild — the folder = the playlist's owned
members, kept true on every ownership change regardless of download path. Uses
the paths the batch already captured (no DB re-match, no waiting on the server
scan/sync). Non-fatal.
3 new reconcile tests (organize full-rebuild, wishlist add-without-prune, plain
batch no-op). 983 downloads/imports/playlist tests pass.
- Settings: 'Playlists Folder' path field (Unlock pattern, separate-root help
text), a Symlinks/Copies selector, and a 'Rebuild playlist folders now' button
(standard test-button style). Wired through PATH_INPUT_IDS / load / save, plus
'playlists' added to the settings save allowlist so it persists.
- POST /api/playlists/materialize/rebuild → rebuild_organized_playlists_from_db:
rebuilds every organize-by-playlist folder from CURRENT ownership, re-matching
each track with check_track_exists (name, not IDs) so it self-heals after a
reorganize / membership change. +1 test.
70 materialize tests + JS integrity pass; settings round-trip wiring verified.
