Fix short artist names (e.g. "ano") getting buried by wildcard matches. Re-ranks Spotify and iTunes results so exact name matches appear first, without changing what's returned.
Increase Spotify client rate limit and reduce API contention during watchlist scans. Changes:
- core/spotify_client.py: Bumped MIN_API_INTERVAL from 0.2s to 0.35s (~171 calls/min) to stay safely under Spotify's ~180/min limit.
- web_server.py: In start_watchlist_scan and automatic scan flow, pause spotify_enrichment_worker and itunes_enrichment_worker before scanning (tracking with _enrichment_was_running/_itunes_enrichment_was_running) and resume them in finally blocks; added console prints for pause/resume. This prevents enrichment workers from contending for API quota during long scans.
- webui/static/script.js: Improved enrichment status tooltip logic to prioritize explicit currentType and then fall back to completion-based inference with explicit branches for artists, albums, and tracks for clearer progress text.
These changes aim to avoid API rate violations and make scan progress display more predictable.
Add a release_date field to the Track dataclass for both iTunes and Spotify clients (iTunes: parsed from releaseDate, Spotify: from album.release_date). Propagate release_date into enhanced search results in web_server and into the client-side script so album objects include release_date when available. Also broaden playlistId matching in the missing-tracks process to include 'enhanced_search_track_'. Removed SQLite SHM/WAL files from the repo (cleanup of DB temporary files). These changes enable showing and using track release dates across the app.
Add _get_playlist_items_page to call the new playlists/{id}/items endpoint (Feb 2026 API migration) and fall back to spotipy.playlist_items (old /tracks) on 403/404. Update _get_playlist_tracks and web_server.get_playlist_tracks to use the new helper to avoid 403 errors for Development Mode apps while preserving compatibility with Extended Quota Mode.
Add a UI button to disconnect Spotify and fall back to iTunes/Apple Music without restarting. Cache is_spotify_authenticated() with a 60s TTL to reduce redundant API calls (~46 call sites were each
triggering a live sp.current_user() call). Fix status endpoint calling the auth check twice per poll,
and ensure both OAuth callback handlers (port 8008 Flask route and port 8888 dedicated server)
invalidate the status cache so the UI updates immediately after authentication.
Spotify's @rate_limited decorator now retries on 429/5xx with exponential backoff (up to 5 retries) instead of sleeping once and raising. Watchlist scan delays scale dynamically based on lookback setting and artist count to prevent sustained API pressure. A circuit breaker pauses the scan after consecutive rate-limit failures.
Adds iTunes fallback to SpotifyClient for search and metadata when Spotify is not authenticated. Updates album type logic to distinguish EPs, singles, and albums more accurately. Refactors watchlist database methods to support both Spotify and iTunes artist IDs. Improves deduplication and normalization of album names from iTunes. Updates web server and frontend to use new album type logic and support both ID types. Adds artist bubble snapshot example data.
Eliminated unnecessary filtering of playlists by owner or collaboration status, as the Spotify API already returns all accessible playlists. This simplifies the code and ensures all relevant playlists are processed.
Introduces a reload_config method to SpotifyClient and refactors ConfigManager to support reloading configuration from a file. Updates web_server.py to use the new config loading mechanism, ensuring configuration is loaded into the existing singleton instance and SpotifyClient is properly re-initialized after settings changes.
Implements an enhanced search endpoint in the backend that unifies Spotify and local database results, returning categorized artists, albums, and tracks. Updates the frontend with a new dropdown overlay for live search, debounced input, categorized result rendering, and direct integration with the main results area for album/track selection. Adds new CSS for the dropdown and result cards, and updates the Track dataclass to include image URLs for richer UI display.
Redirect URIs for Spotify and Tidal OAuth are now configurable via the web UI and settings. Updated backend clients to use the configured redirect URI if provided, improving flexibility for deployments with custom callback URLs.
Introduces web server routes and UI buttons for initiating Spotify and Tidal OAuth authentication flows, with dedicated callback servers for token exchange. Updates Docker ports for OAuth callbacks and refines PKCE handling for Tidal. Improves user experience by allowing authentication directly from the web UI.
