Surfaces metadata_enhancement.single_to_album as a checkbox in the Post-Processing
> Core Features section, next to the cover-art settings (it's about getting the
right album cover). Default OFF, wired like the replaygain toggle (load '=== true',
save raw .checked) since the generic data-config binding defaults a missing key to
ON. Registered the default in settings.py DEFAULT_CONFIG + config.example.json.
Answers "does import respect quality?": yes — the pipeline already runs the
quality gate (check_quality_target) BEFORE AcoustID and quarantines files that
don't meet the profile (unless fallback/downsample is on). This adds an explicit
user switch over that behaviour.
- New config import.quality_filter_enabled (default True). When False,
check_quality_target returns None early so EVERY file imports regardless of
quality; the file is still probed and the library Quality Upgrade Scanner
still flags below-profile tracks. Default preserves current behaviour.
- Settings → Library: the Import Settings group is now a collapsible tile
(same pattern as Post-Processing) and gains the "Only import tracks that meet
your quality profile" toggle at the top, alongside replace-lower-quality and
folder-artist-override.
- settings.js populate/collect the new key; config schema default added.
- Tests: key-aware config stub (a blanket-False mock would wrongly disable the
filter) + a new test pinning toggle-OFF = accept below-target file.

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.
- settings: playlists.materialize_path (separate root, mapped apart from the
music library so the media server never double-scans it) + materialize_mode
(symlink|copy).
- core/playlists/materialize.py: pure filesystem engine that (re)builds a
playlist folder of relative symlinks (or copies) into the real library —
idempotent, prunes stale entries, disambiguates filename collisions, never
escapes the root, and auto-falls-back to copy when the FS can't symlink.
No DB, no app state; ops injectable. 13 unit tests.
Isolated + additive — nothing live calls this yet (stitcher/trigger/routing
come next).
Found during the #832 audit: GET /api/settings returned dict(config_data) — and
config_data is DECRYPTED in memory — so every API key, OAuth secret, Plex/
Jellyfin token, and service password went to the browser in cleartext. Fernet
"encrypted at rest" protects a leaked DB file; it does nothing once the API
hands the plaintext to the client (devtools, HAR captures, an XSS, a screen
share, or a non-PIN'd LAN viewer).
Fix (centralized in ConfigManager):
- redacted_config() deep-copies config and replaces every _SENSITIVE_PATHS value
that's actually set with REDACTED_SENTINEL; unset secrets stay empty so the UI
still shows "not configured". Dict-valued secrets (tidal/qobuz OAuth sessions)
collapse to the sentinel too. GET /api/settings now serves this copy.
- set() ignores a write of REDACTED_SENTINEL to a sensitive path, so the masked
placeholder round-tripped by an unchanged settings form can never overwrite
the real secret. A real value still saves; an empty value still clears.
Frontend: secret inputs are type=password, so the sentinel renders as dots
(looks like a saved secret). _wireRedactedSecrets() clears the mask on focus so
editing types fresh rather than onto the sentinel, and re-masks on blur if left
untouched — so an unchanged secret round-trips the sentinel (kept), an edited
one saves the new value, and a deliberately emptied one clears.
Tests: every sensitive path masks; unset stays empty; dict secrets mask; live
config not mutated; sentinel round-trip keeps the real secret; real value
overwrites; empty clears; sentinel on a non-secret path writes normally.
9 new tests; 518 config-touching tests pass (1 pre-existing soundcloud mock
failure, unrelated — fails identically on a clean tree).
noldevin's first torrent was stuck "downloading metadata" — a dead magnet
with no peers. The poll loop would ride the full album deadline (6h default)
on it, holding the worker the whole time, with no built-in escape.
New stall handling, off the existing poll loop:
- core/download_plugins/torrent_stall.py — pure StallTracker (clock injected,
no I/O): forward byte progress resets a stall clock; once a torrent spends
the stall timeout in a working state (queued/downloading/stalled/error)
with zero progress, it's stalled. seeding/completed/paused never count.
Covers the metadata-stuck case (0 bytes, 0 progress) and a dead mid-download
swarm with one rule.
- _handle_stalled: 'abandon' (default) removes the torrent + its partial data
(a metadata stub is junk) and fails the download so the next source can try;
'pause' parks it in the client for the user. Adapter errors are swallowed —
the download still fails cleanly.
- two settings (download_source.torrent_stall_timeout_seconds = 600,
torrent_stall_action = 'abandon'); timeout 0 disables, restoring the old
ride-the-deadline behavior. Config-key driven, matching the existing
album_bundle_* tuning knobs (no UI form, same as those).
Tests: 18 on the tracker + settings (timeout trip, progress reset, idle-state
exemption, pause→resume clock restart, disable, parse tolerance) + 3 on the
plugin action path (abandon removes w/ delete_files, pause pauses, adapter
error survived). 158 torrent-family tests pass.
CI failed all 7 requeue tests that passed locally. Root cause is a real
shipping bug, not test flake: config/settings.py's default template set
retry_next_candidate_on_mismatch: False ("Default off — opt-in") while the
monitor reads it with inline default True and the PR documents it as ON.
Outcome split the userbase: a FRESH install (or CI's clean runner) gets the
template key = retry engine silently OFF; an existing config.json lacks the
key = inline True wins = engine ON. Same code, opposite behavior, decided by
install age.
- template aligned to True (the documented + approved default; existing
installs already behave this way via the inline default)
- the requeue tests now pin the toggle ON via the wiring helper instead of
reading the runner's ambient config — CI's fresh defaults vs a dev's
lived-in config.json must never decide whether they pass. _patch_config
composes (it wraps the pinned get and falls through).
64 retry-engine tests pass; fresh-default simulation confirms the toggle
resolves True.
All retry features introduced by this branch are now strictly opt-in.
With every setting at its default, behaviour is identical to before the
branch — tracks that fail AcoustID/integrity are quarantined and left
for manual review, same as before.
Users who want the new retry pipeline enable it in
Settings → Downloads → Retry Logic.

Adds an opt-in exhaustive mode to the quarantine-retry path. Default
behaviour is unchanged: a single global cap (MAX_QUARANTINE_RETRIES=5).
When post_processing.retry_exhaustive is on, each source gets its OWN
retry budget sized as query_count x retries_per_query. Soulseek peers
collapse to one 'soulseek' bucket; streaming plugins keep their name.
The worker now records query_count on the task; the budget scales with
the track's real query count. Loop protection is threefold: per-source
cap, used_sources exhaustion (the natural terminator), and an absolute
ceiling (MAX_TOTAL_QUARANTINE_RETRIES=100).
New settings (config + WebUI): retry_next_candidate_on_mismatch (master),
retry_exhaustive, retries_per_query (default 5).
Tests: 6 new cases covering per-source budgeting, source separation,
Soulseek-peer bucketing, query_count default, and the absolute ceiling.

Replace mode (default) deletes + recreates the server playlist every sync,
which wipes its custom image, description, and identity. Add an opt-in
'reconcile' sync mode that edits the existing playlist in place — adds the
tracks now in the source, removes the ones gone — without destroying the
object, so the user's custom art/description survive.
- Pure planner plan_playlist_reconcile(current, desired) -> {add, remove}.
- Per-client reconcile_playlist: Plex addItems/removeItems on the same object;
Navidrome Subsonic updatePlaylist delta (songIdToAdd / descending
songIndexToRemove); Jellyfin add + remove-by-PlaylistItemId on /Playlists/{id}/Items.
- sync_service: reconcile branch with a replace FALLBACK (if a server's in-place
edit is unavailable/fails, sync still succeeds destructively — logged loudly).
- Default stays 'replace' (no behavior change). New Settings > Playlist sync mode
picker (replace/reconcile/append) backed by playlist_sync.mode; per-request
sync_mode still overrides.
- Reconcile skips the post-sync source-image push so a custom poster isn't
re-clobbered (the bug).
Tests: planner (add/remove/dedupe/order/empty) + reconcile-or-replace dispatch
(success / false-fallback / exception-fallback / no-method). Per-server in-place
API calls need dev validation against real Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome.
NOTE: opt-in only; default behavior unchanged.
Follow-up to the preferred-art feature. Real test runs showed a source could
win on priority while handing back a small cover: Cover Art Archive is
volunteer-uploaded with no size floor, so CAA-first gave a 599x531 (Taylor
Swift) and a 600x600 (Kendrick GNX) -- front-1200 only caps the max, so a
~600px upload stays ~600px -- and Deezer/iTunes lower in the order never got a
turn.
Fix:
- Minimum-resolution guard: artwork._min_size_art_validator builds the
resolver's validate hook -- it fetches each candidate, caches the bytes (so
the winner isn't fetched twice), and accepts art only when its shortest side
>= metadata_enhancement.min_art_size (default 1000px; 0 disables). Art that's
too small is a miss, so the resolver falls through to the next source instead
of winning on priority. Unmeasurable images are accepted (don't over-reject;
fallback is still today's art). Wired into both embed_album_art_metadata and
download_cover_art.
- iTunes art upgraded to /3000x3000bb/ (was the 600px default) so it
contributes high-res when it wins.
- select_preferred_art_url gains a validate passthrough to the resolver.
- config default metadata_enhancement.min_art_size: 1000.
Effect: with an order like caa > deezer > spotify > itunes, a ~600px CAA upload
is now skipped and Deezer's ~1900px wins -- consistent big art. (Spotify art
often maxes ~640px, so it's skipped at the 1000 floor in favor of bigger
sources; lower min_art_size to ~640 to allow it.)
Tests: tests/metadata/test_art_min_size.py (6 -- incl. the real 599x531 and
600x600 cases, shortest-side logic, unmeasurable-accept, no-bytes-reject,
0-disables) + iTunes max-res upgrade test. Full metadata suite green (617).
Lets users pick which providers' cover art to use and in what priority,
generalizing the single prefer_caa_art toggle into an ordered, mix-and-match
list (Sokhi's request). Fully opt-in: default album_art_order is [], so every
existing install is byte-for-byte unchanged until the user enables sources.
How it works:
- Per album, walk the user's ordered sources top-to-bottom; the first source
that actually has THIS album's cover wins. A miss falls through to the next;
if all miss, the download's own art is kept (today's default). The worst case
is always exactly the cover you'd get today -- never wrong art, never an
error into the download.
- Connection-gated: a source is only tried when the user is connected to it
(free sources CAA/Deezer/iTunes/AudioDB always; Spotify only when
authenticated). Tidal/Qobuz/HiFi deferred (cover-URL construction + no clean
core accessor -- not shipping unverified extraction).
- Album-match validated: a source's art is used only when the album it returns
matches the requested artist+album (significant-token subset, tolerant of
Deluxe/Remastered/articles/feat./multi-artist). A loose top search hit for a
different record is treated as a miss -> guarantees no wrong-album art.
- The list supersedes the legacy prefer_caa_art toggle: when album_art_order is
non-empty it is the sole authority (add 'caa' to the list to use Cover Art
Archive), and prefer_caa_art is neutralized for both the embedded-tag art and
cover.jpg paths. With an empty list, prefer_caa_art behaves exactly as before.
Implementation:
- core/metadata/art_sources.py: pure resolver -- effective_art_order (config +
legacy back-compat) and resolve_cover_art (ordered walk + fallback,
exception-safe per source). No network/config/DB; fully unit-testable.
- core/metadata/art_lookup.py: availability gating, per-source lookups against
existing clients (Deezer/iTunes/AudioDB/Spotify search + CAA via MBID),
album-match validation, per-album caching, and select_preferred_art_url --
the single gate the pipeline calls (no-op unless an explicit list is set).
- core/metadata/artwork.py: wired into embed_album_art_metadata and
download_cover_art, gated so no configured list == current behavior.
- web_server.py: GET /api/metadata/art-sources (connected sources only).
- config/settings.py: default album_art_order: [].
- webui (index.html + settings.js): reorderable list in Core Features reusing
the hybrid-source-list pattern + real service logos (with emoji fallback);
load/save wired through the existing metadata_enhancement settings flow.
loadArtSourceOrder populates the saved order synchronously (filtered to known
sources, not availability) so a save before the availability fetch resolves,
or a temporarily-disconnected source, can never wipe the saved order.
Tests: 40 unit/seam tests (resolver ordering/fallback/back-compat, availability,
per-source extraction, album-match validation incl. wrong-album/wrong-artist
rejection, caching, exception-safety, the off-by-default gate). Full metadata
suite still green (610 passed) -- the gated integration changes nothing when no
list is configured.
Note: the settings UI (DOM-heavy, not unit-testable in the JS harness) and the
live per-source art-fetch quality are validated by manual testing.
Wraps up the code-review refactor pass.
- config/settings.py: ``download_source`` defaults gain
``album_bundle_poll_interval_seconds`` (default 2s) and
``album_bundle_timeout_seconds`` (default 6h, was a hard-coded
``6 * 60 * 60`` magic constant in torrent.py). The plugin reads
these via ``album_bundle.get_poll_interval`` /
``get_poll_timeout`` with safe fallback to the defaults when the
config value is missing / non-numeric. ``mode`` doc-comment
extended to list ``torrent`` and ``usenet``.
- core/downloads/validation.py: comment block above the album-name
fallback rewritten to document when the fallback actually runs
now — single-track hybrid downloads only, because the album-
bundle gate handles single-source mode and the hybrid chain
filter strips torrent / usenet from album batches. Code path
unchanged; just clarifies the contract for the next reader.
- webui/static/helper.js: WHATS_NEW entry summarising the refactor
pass (helper extraction, dispatch lift, staging deps injection,
atomic copy, configurable timeout, test additions).
The /loop of: extract → inject → test was sweep enough to drop the
gate code's coupling to 2-3 modules and put 49 unit tests behind
the new boundaries. Code-review feedback addressed:
1. album_bundle.py extracted ✓
2. Dispatch lifted out of master.py ✓
3. staging.py decoupled from runtime_state ✓
4. Validation fallback scope documented ✓
5. Poll timeout config-driven ✓
6. ``amazon`` provenance owned in a prior commit ✓
7. End-to-end-shaped tests added (test_album_bundle_dispatch.py)
8. Auto-Import race closed via atomic copy ✓
Third commit in the torrent + usenet rollout. SoulSync now also
speaks the two big usenet downloaders through a sibling adapter
contract that mirrors the torrent adapter set. All three layers are
now stood up — Prowlarr finds releases, the torrent adapter and the
usenet adapter each know how to ship work to the underlying client.
A later commit wires Prowlarr search results through the adapters
and through the archive-extract-match pipeline.
- core/usenet_clients/base.py: UsenetClientAdapter Protocol +
UsenetStatus dataclass. Uniform state set covers usenet-specific
phases (queued / downloading / extracting / verifying / repairing /
completed / failed / paused).
- core/usenet_clients/__init__.py: adapter_for_type factory +
get_active_adapter that reads usenet_client.type each call.
- core/usenet_clients/sabnzbd.py: REST adapter. ?apikey=... auth,
mode=addurl and mode=addfile (multipart) for add_nzb. Reads both
the active queue and the recent history so completed / failed
jobs surface in get_all. Parses SAB's HH:MM:SS ``timeleft`` into
seconds.
- core/usenet_clients/nzbget.py: JSON-RPC adapter. HTTP Basic auth,
``append`` method for add_nzb (auto-detects URL vs base64 NZB),
``editqueue`` with GroupPause/GroupResume/GroupDelete/GroupFinalDelete
for state changes. Reads NZBGet's 64-bit split size fields
(FileSizeHi + FileSizeLo) preferentially over the legacy
FileSizeMB aggregate.
- core/connection_test.py: 'usenet_client' branch picks the right
adapter, runs check_connection, surfaces per-client error
messages (different credentials needed).
- config/settings.py: usenet_client.{type, url, api_key, username,
password, category} defaults + both api_key and password marked
encrypted-at-rest.
- web_server.py: 'usenet_client' added to the /api/settings POST
allow-list.
- webui/index.html: new Usenet Client panel on the Indexers &
Downloaders tab. Type picker swaps the credential fields between
API-key (SABnzbd) and username+password (NZBGet).
- webui/static/settings.js: load/save wiring, updateUsenetClientUI
for the credential field swap, testUsenetClientConnection.
- webui/static/helper.js: WHATS_NEW + VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS entry.
Second commit in the torrent + usenet rollout. SoulSync now speaks
three different BitTorrent client APIs through one uniform adapter
contract — picks the active client by config and dispatches the same
verbs to whichever backend the user uses. Each adapter handles its
own auth quirk (qBit cookie + CSRF Referer, Transmission session-id
renegotiation, Deluge JSON-RPC session) and maps native state
strings onto a shared 7-value set so the rest of the app stays
client-agnostic.
- core/torrent_clients/base.py: TorrentClientAdapter Protocol +
TorrentStatus dataclass. Eight verbs: is_configured, check_connection,
add_torrent (URL/magnet), add_torrent_file (raw bytes), get_status,
get_all, remove, pause, resume.
- core/torrent_clients/__init__.py: adapter_for_type factory +
get_active_adapter that reads torrent_client.type each call so
settings changes take effect without restart.
- core/torrent_clients/qbittorrent.py: WebUI v2 adapter. Cookie auth
via /api/v2/auth/login, transparent 403 re-login, Referer header
to satisfy qBit's CSRF guard. add_torrent returns the just-added
hash via /torrents/info sort=added_on (qBit's add endpoint doesn't
echo the hash).
- core/torrent_clients/transmission.py: RPC adapter. Auto-resolves
bare host URLs to /transmission/rpc, handles the 409 + new
X-Transmission-Session-Id renegotiation transparently, accepts
HTTP basic auth. add_torrent_file base64-encodes payload per spec.
- core/torrent_clients/deluge.py: Deluge 2.x JSON-RPC adapter.
Password-only auth, distinguishes magnet vs HTTP URL at the RPC
method layer, applies category via Label plugin (best-effort —
label plugin is optional).
- core/connection_test.py: 'torrent_client' branch picks the right
adapter, runs check_connection, surfaces a per-client error
message.
- config/settings.py: torrent_client.{type, url, username, password,
category, save_path} defaults + torrent_client.password in the
encrypted-at-rest secrets list.
- web_server.py: 'torrent_client' added to the /api/settings POST
allow-list so saved config persists.
- webui/index.html: new Torrent Client panel on the Indexers &
Downloaders tab — client-type dropdown, URL, username, password,
category, optional save path, Test Connection.
- webui/static/settings.js: load/save wiring + testTorrentClientConnection.
- webui/static/helper.js: WHATS_NEW + VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS entry.
First commit toward torrent and usenet download sources. Prowlarr is
the indexer manager component of the *arr stack — it exposes Usenet
and torrent indexers behind a single Newznab-style API so SoulSync
doesn't have to integrate each indexer individually. This commit
wires up Prowlarr as a search-only source; the torrent and usenet
download client adapters land in the next commits and plug into
this search surface.
- core/prowlarr_client.py: sync-backed async client. is_configured,
check_connection, get_indexers, search by Newznab category. Music
category constants (3000 all / 3010 MP3 / 3040 lossless / etc.).
- core/connection_test.py: 'prowlarr' branch hits /api/v1/system/status
for the Test Connection button.
- web_server.py: GET /api/prowlarr/indexers returns the live indexer
list (id, name, protocol, enabled, privacy). Settings POST allow-list
now accepts 'prowlarr' so saved config persists.
- config/settings.py: prowlarr.{url, api_key, indexer_ids} defaults
plus prowlarr.api_key in the encrypted-at-rest secrets list.
- webui/index.html: new "Indexers & Downloaders" tab on Settings with
the Prowlarr panel (URL, API key, Test, Refresh Indexer List,
optional indexer-ID allowlist).
- webui/static/settings.js: load/save wiring, testProwlarrConnection,
loadProwlarrIndexers (HTML-escapes user-supplied indexer names).
- webui/static/helper.js: WHATS_NEW 2.6.0 unreleased block plus a
curated VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS entry.
Add a disk-backed image cache with hashed browser URLs, SQLite metadata, size/type validation, stale fallback, and per-image fetch locking. Route normalized artwork through /api/image-cache while keeping /api/image-proxy as a compatibility shim, and align browser max-age with the image cache TTL. Add focused tests for cache behavior and image URL normalization.
- new soulseek.search_min_delay_seconds knob forces a gap between
consecutive searches; smooths the burst pattern that trips ISP
anti-abuse (Reddit report: Bell Canada cuts the WAN after rapid
peer-connection spikes) even when the existing 35/220 sliding-window
cap isn't hit
- throttle math lifted to a pure compute_search_wait_seconds helper so
the gate logic is testable independent of asyncio.sleep + the
singleton client
- new field on settings → connections → soulseek; default 0 = disabled
so existing users see no change
15 helper-boundary tests pin defaults / no-throttle, sliding-window
cap (legacy), min-delay (the new burst-smoother), max-of-both gates,
and defensive paths.
Plug the previously-built SoundcloudClient (PR #478, the build-and-verify
phase) into every place a download source needs to appear. Follows the
same wiring contract as Tidal/Qobuz/HiFi/Deezer/Lidarr — orchestrator
routing, hybrid-mode picker, search dispatch, queue/cancel/clear,
provenance + library history, sidebar source label, settings UI all
work plug-and-play.
Backend wiring:
- `core/download_orchestrator.py` — import SoundcloudClient, _safe_init
it at startup, add to _client() lookup, get_source_status(),
check_connection's sources_to_check default, search source_names map,
search_and_download_best _streaming_sources tuple, download
source_map + source_names, and every iteration loop in
reload_settings download-path-update / get_all_downloads /
get_download_status / cancel_download (route + iterate) /
clear_all_completed_downloads / cancel_all_downloads.
- `core/downloads/monitor.py` — added SoundCloud to the per-client
loop that fetches active downloads outside the orchestrator (uses
getattr fallback for older soulseek_client snapshots).
- `core/downloads/task_worker.py` — added SoundCloud (and Lidarr,
which was missing too — bonus fix) to source_clients dict for hybrid
fallback dispatch.
- `core/downloads/validation.py` — added 'soundcloud' to
_streaming_sources so SoundCloud results go through the matching
engine validation path instead of the Soulseek quality-filter path.
- `core/imports/side_effects.py` — three call sites: source_map for
download_source label written to library_history, streaming-source
guard for the `||`-encoded stream_id parsing, and source_service
map for provenance recording. All three now include 'soundcloud'.
- `web_server.py` — five streaming-source detection tuples updated.
New `/api/soundcloud/status` endpoint returns
{available, configured, reachable} mirroring the Deezer/HiFi
status-endpoint pattern; reachability runs a real cheap yt-dlp
search so the settings Test Connection button gives a meaningful
pass/fail signal.
- `config/settings.py` — added empty `soundcloud_download` defaults
block so future tier-2 OAuth (SoundCloud Go+ session) doesn't have
to migrate existing configs.
Frontend:
- `webui/index.html` — new `<option value="soundcloud">` in the
download-source-mode dropdown, SoundCloud added to both hidden
legacy hybrid-source selects, new settings container with info
text + Test Connection button.
- `webui/static/settings.js` — HYBRID_SOURCES entry (with the
SoundCloud cloud SVG icon), _hybridSourceEnabled default,
updateDownloadSourceUI container display, allSources for legacy
hybrid picker, testSoundcloudConnection function (hits the new
status endpoint, color-codes the result), saveSettings
soundcloud_download empty block.
- `webui/static/shared-helpers.js` — sidebar source-name map
includes SoundCloud + Lidarr (Lidarr was also missing, bonus fix).
- `webui/static/helper.js` — WHATS_NEW entry under '2.4.2' dev cycle
describing the user-visible change in the chill terse voice.
Tests:
- `tests/test_download_orchestrator_soundcloud.py` — 14 integration
tests verifying the wiring: client constructed at startup, _client
lookup resolves 'soundcloud', get_source_status includes it,
download dispatcher routes username='soundcloud' to the SoundCloud
client (and unknown usernames still fall back to Soulseek), hybrid
search iterates SoundCloud when in order and skips it cleanly when
unconfigured, get_all_downloads / get_download_status / cancel /
clear walk SoundCloud, soundcloud-only mode dispatches only to
SoundCloud, _streaming_sources tuple in validation includes
'soundcloud'.
- `tests/downloads/test_download_orchestrator.py` — added
`soundcloud` to the test fixture's _build_orchestrator helper so
the new orchestrator attribute doesn't AttributeError in pre-
existing tests that bypass __init__.
Verified:
- Full suite green (1728 passed, 2 deselected for soundcloud_live)
- Ruff clean
- Live SoundCloud-only mode search returns 25 SoundCloud tracks for
"kendrick lamar luther" in <2s, returning properly-shaped
TrackResult objects with username='soundcloud' and dispatch-key
filename ready for the download path.
Out of scope (intentional deferrals):
- SoundCloud Go+ OAuth tier (256 kbps AAC) — anonymous-only for now.
Adding auth later is a settings-page extension, no orchestrator
changes needed.
- Album/playlist support — SoundCloud has playlists but they don't
map to the album model the rest of SoulSync expects. Singles only.
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.
New 'soulsync' media server option manages the library directly from
the filesystem, bypassing Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome entirely.
Two paths populate the library:
1. Downloads/imports write artist/album/track to DB immediately at
post-processing completion, with pre-populated enrichment IDs
(Spotify, Deezer, MusicBrainz) so workers skip re-discovery
2. soulsync_client.py scans Transfer folder for incremental/deep scan
via DatabaseUpdateWorker (same interface as server clients)
New files:
- core/soulsync_client.py: filesystem scanner implementing the same
interface as Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome clients. Recursive folder scan,
Mutagen tag reading, artist/album/track grouping, hash-based stable
IDs, incremental scan by modification time.
Modified:
- web_server.py: _record_soulsync_library_entry() at post-processing
completion, client init, scan endpoint integration, status endpoint,
web_scan_manager media_clients dict, test-connection cache updates
- config/settings.py: accept 'soulsync' in set_active_media_server,
get_active_media_server_config, is_configured, validate_config
- core/web_scan_manager.py: add soulsync to server_client_map
Dedup: checks existing artist/album by name across ALL server sources
before inserting to avoid duplicates. Enrichment IDs only written when
the column is empty (won't overwrite existing data).
M3U entries now resolve actual file paths from the DB instead of
synthesising a fake 'Artist - Title.mp3' string that no media server
could use. Adds optional M3U Entry Base Path setting (Downloads tab)
so servers requiring absolute paths (e.g. /mnt/music) can be supported.
- New POST /api/generate-playlist-m3u endpoint: per-artist batch DB
lookups with fuzzy title matching, prefixes entry_base_path when set
- autoSavePlaylistM3U and exportPlaylistAsM3U now call the new endpoint
- M3U Entry Base Path input added below Music Videos Dir in settings,
follows path-input-group pattern with Unlock button and autosave
Stripped 4,200+ emoji characters from print(), logger calls across
39 Python files. Logs are now clean text — easier to grep, more
professional, no encoding issues on terminals without Unicode support.
Seasonal config icons preserved for UI display.
Lidarr integration:
- New core/lidarr_download_client.py with full interface parity
(search, download, status, cancel — same as Qobuz/Tidal/HiFi)
- Registered in download orchestrator with source routing
- Settings: URL + API key on Downloads tab with connection test
- Available as standalone source or in Hybrid mode priority order
- API key encrypted at rest
- All streaming source checks updated to include 'lidarr'
Lidarr downloads full albums via Usenet/torrent — SoulSync imports
only the tracks it needs and discards the rest.
Music video path validation:
- Empty/unconfigured path returns clear error instead of silent failure
- Write permission test before starting download
- Default changed from './MusicVideos' to empty (must be configured)
New configurable path for storing music videos separately from audio
files, following Plex's global music video folder convention.
- Settings: library.music_videos_path (default: ./MusicVideos)
- UI: Music Videos Dir field on Settings Downloads tab with lock/unlock
- Docker: /app/MusicVideos volume mount in Dockerfile and docker-compose
- Added 'library' to settings save whitelist (was missing — music_paths
also wasn't persisting through main settings save)
- No download functionality yet — path infrastructure only
New automation action that executes user scripts from a dedicated
scripts/ directory. Available as both a DO action and THEN action.
Scripts are selected from a dropdown populated by /api/scripts.
Security: only scripts in the scripts dir can run, path traversal
blocked, no shell=True, stdout/stderr capped, configurable timeout
(max 300s). Scripts receive SOULSYNC_EVENT, SOULSYNC_AUTOMATION,
and SOULSYNC_SCRIPTS_DIR environment variables.
Includes Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml changes for the scripts
volume mount, and three example scripts (hello_world.sh,
system_info.py, notify_ntfy.sh).
New setting in Settings > Library lets users add folder paths where
their music files live. The file resolver checks these paths when
looking for library files, solving Docker path mismatches and multi-
folder libraries. Required for tag writing, streaming, and orphan
detection when the media server reports paths that differ from what
SoulSync can see. Docker users mount their music folder(s) with
read-write access and add the container-side path. Default is empty
— existing users see no change.
New toggle in Settings > Library: "Replace lower quality files on
import". When enabled, if a track already exists in the library at
a lower quality tier (e.g. MP3) and a higher quality version (e.g.
FLAC) is imported from staging, the existing file is replaced.
Comparison uses the existing QUALITY_TIERS system (lossless > opus/
ogg > m4a > mp3). When disabled (default), existing behavior is
unchanged — existing tracks are always kept. Also applies to regular
downloads that land on an existing file.
YOUR ARTISTS (major feature):
- Aggregates liked/followed artists from Spotify, Tidal, Last.fm, Deezer
- Matches to ALL metadata sources (Spotify, iTunes, Deezer, Discogs)

- Token stored encrypted, auto-included in API calls
- get_user_favorite_artists() for liked artists pool
SERVICE CLIENTS:
- Spotify: added user-follow-read scope + get_followed_artists()
- Tidal: get_favorite_artists() with V2/V1 fallback
- Last.fm: get_authenticated_username() + get_user_top_artists()
FAILED MB LOOKUPS MANAGER:
- Manage button on Cache Health modal
- Browse/filter/search all failed MusicBrainz lookups
- Search MusicBrainz directly and manually match entries
- Optimized cache health queries (11 → 4 consolidated)
- Dashboard cache stats now poll every 15s
EXPLORER IMPROVEMENTS:
- Discover button on undiscovered playlist cards
- Status badges: explored/wishlisted/downloaded/ready
- Auto-refresh during discovery via polling
- Redesigned controls: prominent Explore button, icons
BUG FIXES:
- Fix album artist splitting on collab albums (collab mode fed
album-level artists instead of per-track)
- Fix cover.jpg not moving during library reorganize (post-pass sweep)
- Fix cover.jpg missing when album detection takes fallback path
- Fix wishlist auto-processing toast spam (was firing every 2s)
- Fix media player collapsing on short viewports
- Fix watchlist rate limiting (~90% fewer API calls)
- Configurable spotify.min_api_interval setting
- Better Retry-After header extraction
- Encrypt Last.fm and Discogs credentials at rest
- Add $discnum template variable (unpadded disc number)
Stream source:
- New setting in Settings → Downloads: "Stream / Preview Source"
- Options: YouTube (instant, default) or Active Download Source
- YouTube streams require no auth and are instant
- If active source is Soulseek, automatically falls back to YouTube
- Uses direct client search (bypasses orchestrator's download mode)
- Config key: download_source.stream_source
Docker:
- entrypoint.sh now runs pip install -U yt-dlp on every container
start, so Docker users always have the latest yt-dlp without
rebuilding the image
Settings DB connections had no timeout (default 5s), causing lock failures when
enrichment workers hold concurrent write locks. Added 30s timeout, WAL journal
mode for better concurrency, retry-once before falling back to config.json.
Full stats dashboard that polls Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome for play
history and presents it with Chart.js visualizations:
Backend:
- ListeningStatsWorker polls active server every 30 min
- listening_history DB table with dedup, play_count/last_played on tracks
- get_play_history() and get_track_play_counts() for all 3 servers
- Pre-computed cache for all time ranges (7d/30d/12m/all) rebuilt each sync
- Single cached endpoint serves all stats data instantly
- Stats query methods: top artists/albums/tracks, timeline, genres, health
Frontend:
- New Stats nav page with glassmorphic container matching dashboard style
- Overview cards (plays, time, artists, albums, tracks) with accent hover
- Listening timeline bar chart (Chart.js)
- Genre breakdown doughnut chart with legend
- Top artists visual bubbles with profile pictures + ranked list
- Top albums and tracks ranked lists with album art
- Library health: format breakdown bar, unplayed count, enrichment coverage
- Recently played timeline with relative timestamps
- Time range pills with instant switching via cache
- Sync Now button with spinner, last synced timestamp
- Clickable artist names navigate to library artist detail
- Last.fm global listeners shown alongside personal play counts
- SoulID badges on matched artists
- Empty state when no data synced yet
- Mobile responsive layout
DB migrations: listening_history table, play_count/last_played columns,
all with idempotent CREATE IF NOT EXISTS / PRAGMA checks.
Lossy copy now supports MP3, Opus, and AAC (M4A) codecs with a
configurable dropdown in settings. Each codec uses the appropriate
ffmpeg encoder (libmp3lame/libopus/aac) and Mutagen tag writer
(ID3/Vorbis/MP4). Quality tag, filename substitution, and Blasphemy
Mode file cleanup all work per-codec. Backward compatible — existing
configs default to MP3.
Post-processing: Extract 7 inline source lookup blocks into standalone
_pp_lookup_* functions called in configurable order via
metadata_enhancement.post_process_order config. Default order matches
original hardcoded sequence — zero behavioral change.
Hydrabase: Fix connected Hydrabase incorrectly becoming primary source.
_is_hydrabase_active() now only returns True in dev_mode (legacy).
Auto-connect no longer forces dev_mode. Hydrabase as fallback works
through normal _get_metadata_fallback_client path like iTunes/Deezer.
Settings button min-width fix.
Add Hydrabase section to Settings → Connections with enable toggle,
WebSocket URL, API key, auto-connect, and connect/disconnect button.
_is_hydrabase_active() now checks hydrabase.enabled config in addition
to dev_mode — either path activates it. Default disabled, zero change
for existing users. Dev admin page stays behind dev mode password.
Replace fixed primary/secondary hybrid dropdowns with an ordered list
of all 5 download sources. Users enable/disable each source and reorder
with up/down arrows to set download priority. Sources are tried in
order until one returns results.
- New hybrid_order config field (backward compat with legacy primary/secondary)
- Download orchestrator loops ordered list with per-source error handling
- Sortable source list UI with icons, toggle switches, priority numbers
- Source-specific settings shown for all enabled hybrid sources
- Seamless migration from legacy 2-source to N-source format
- Add max_peer_queue setting to skip peers with long queues (soft filter
with fallback to unfiltered if all results removed)
- Add download_timeout setting replacing hardcoded 10-minute limit
- Include quality_score (peer health: upload speed, free slots, queue
length) in result ranking — was calculated but never used in sort key
- New UI controls in Soulseek settings section
