- Display "Apple Music" instead of "Spotify" in UI when iTunes is active source
- Enhanced connection test messages to indicate Spotify config/auth status
- Fixed similar artists requiring Spotify re-scan when Spotify becomes available
- Fixed hero slider buttons failing for iTunes-only artists
- Updated activity feed items to show correct source name dynamically
When Spotify is enabled after populating similar artists with only iTunes IDs, the freshness check now detects missing Spotify IDs and triggers a refetch. This fixes the Discover page not showing data when switching from iTunes-only mode.
- Add similar artists fetching to web UI scan loop
- Add database migration for UNIQUE constraint on similar_artists table - Add source-agnostic /api/discover/album endpoint for iTunes support
- Fix NOT NULL constraint on discovery_recent_albums blocking iTunes albums
- Add fallback to watchlist artists when no similar artists exist
- Add /api/discover/refresh and /api/discover/diagnose endpoints
- Add retry logic with exponential backoff for iTunes API calls
- Ensure cache_discovery_recent_albums runs even when pool population skips
- Fix platform detection to include is_listenbrainz_playlist check when generating fix buttons
- Update openDiscoveryFixModal to check both listenbrainzPlaylistStates and youtubePlaylistStates
- Update searchDiscoveryFix to detect discovery_source and use appropriate search API
- Add /api/itunes/search_tracks endpoint for manual track search when using iTunes source
- Update selectDiscoveryFixTrack state lookup to include ListenBrainz
Fix button now works correctly for all platforms (YouTube, ListenBrainz, Tidal, Beatport) with both Spotify
and iTunes discovery sources.
- Update _search_spotify_for_tidal_track to accept use_spotify and itunes_client parameters for dual-source
support
- Update _run_tidal_discovery_worker to check is_spotify_authenticated() and fall back to iTunes when Spotify
unavailable
- Update _run_beatport_discovery_worker with same iTunes fallback pattern
- Add discovery_source field to state and results for frontend awareness
- Activity messages now indicate which provider (SPOTIFY/ITUNES) completed discovery
All four discovery modals (YouTube, ListenBrainz, Tidal, Beatport) now support the dual-source architecture:
Spotify preferred, iTunes fallback.
Implement dual-source architecture where iTunes serves as always-available
primary source and Spotify as preferred source when authenticated.
- Make watchlist scans provider-aware (manual and auto paths)
- Update discovery pool population to process both sources
- Update recent albums caching for both sources
- Create source-specific curated playlists (Fresh Tape, Archives)
- Add on-the-fly iTunes ID resolution for similar artists
- Add iTunes ID check to similar artists freshness validation
- Fix sqlite3.Row compatibility in personalized playlists
- Fix iTunes ISO 8601 date format parsing
- Update API endpoints to serve source-appropriate data
This ensures the app remains fully functional if Spotify becomes
unavailable (rate limits, auth issues, bans) by seamlessly falling
back to iTunes data that has been building in parallel.
Implements lazy loading of artist images in search results, artist pages, and similar artist bubbles to improve performance and user experience. Updates the iTunes client to prefer explicit album versions and deduplicate albums accordingly. Adds a new API endpoint to fetch artist images, and updates frontend logic to asynchronously fetch and display images where missing.
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.
Introduces iTunes artist ID support to WatchlistArtist and database schema, enabling proactive backfilling of missing provider IDs (Spotify/iTunes) for watchlist artists. Updates WatchlistScanner to use MetadataService for provider-agnostic scanning and ID matching, and modifies web_server to support scans with either provider. Includes new database migration and update methods for iTunes and Spotify artist IDs.
Changed stuck flag detection for wishlist and watchlist auto-processing from 2 hours to 15 minutes for faster recovery. Updated log messages and related logic to reflect the new timeout and display stuck duration in minutes. Also updated wishlist stats to use the improved stuck detection function.
Added backend support for reporting current auto-processing state and cycle in the wishlist stats API. Updated frontend to detect and handle auto-processing start, close modals, and notify users, as well as improved countdown timer updates and conflict handling when starting manual processing.
Refactored wishlist and watchlist auto-processing scheduling to use atomic timer updates and retry logic, preventing stuck timers and improving reliability. Removed excessive debug logging and improved error handling throughout related functions. Added checks to prevent concurrent wishlist processing and ensured timer state is managed consistently.
Added logic to remove duplicate tracks based on their Spotify track ID during both the sanitization and category filtering steps in get_wishlist_tracks(). This ensures the frontend receives a deduplicated list and improves data consistency. A warning is printed if duplicates are found and removed during sanitization.
Enhanced wishlist and watchlist processing to deduplicate tracks during both sanitization and filtering, preventing duplicate downloads and processing. Added explicit resets of next run timer variables to ensure accurate scheduling after each cycle. Updated countdown timer display in the UI to show '0s' when timer reaches zero instead of hiding it.
Introduces new filters for live versions, remixes, acoustic versions, and compilation albums to the watchlist artist configuration. Updates the database schema, backend API, and web UI to support these options, allowing users to customize which content types are included for each artist in their watchlist.
Standardizes the use of extract_filename() for context keys to ensure consistent lookup and storage across download and post-processing flows. Increases fuzzy match thresholds in file search to reduce false positives. Adds per-file threading locks to prevent concurrent metadata writes, improving thread safety during metadata enhancement.
Introduced _sanitize_context_values to clean all string values in the context dictionary before applying path templates. This prevents unsafe characters (like '/') in metadata (e.g., artist names) from creating unintended path components during template substitution.
Adds a check for the presence of 'load_config' in config_manager. If not found, uses a fallback method to support older settings.py files, improving compatibility with legacy Docker volumes.
Bump version to 1.3 and update the version info modal to highlight the new YouTube download engine, Docker and system reliability fixes, and general improvements. Update the web UI to display v1.3 and apply minor formatting and accessibility improvements throughout index.html.
Updated _find_downloaded_file to resolve download paths for Docker environments, ensuring compatibility with host-mounted directories. Also updated README to clarify YouTube integration and sources.
Enhanced the Tidal authentication page to provide clearer, step-by-step instructions for users accessing the app remotely or via Docker. The new flow helps users update the callback URL as needed, improving the authentication experience in non-localhost environments.
Adds critical fixes to reschedule timers after stuck flag recovery for wishlist and watchlist processes, preventing deadlocks and ensuring continuity. Refines album classification by prioritizing Spotify's album_type over track count heuristics, and ensures album_type is included in API responses. Updates frontend logic to pass and use fresh album/artist context for discover_album modals, improving metadata accuracy and display.
Replaces the timer-based automatic watchlist scanning with a background heartbeat thread for improved reliability and robust retry logic. The new system handles scheduling, conflict detection, and error recovery, while UI countdown updates are decoupled from actual scheduling.
Refines album/single classification in get_wishlist_stats by considering explicit 'album' type for short multi-track releases. Also updates openDownloadModalForRecentAlbum to include total_tracks and album_type in album data for more accurate processing.
Replaces the previous daisy-chained timer logic for automatic wishlist processing with a robust background heartbeat thread. This ensures reliable scheduling, simplifies stopping/starting, and improves error handling. UI countdown updates remain compatible with existing call sites.
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.
Changed Docker volume mapping from './database' to './data' in README-Docker.md for SQLite files. Updated web_server.py to support config path override via SOULSYNC_CONFIG_PATH environment variable, improving Docker compatibility.
Updated the normalize_title function to remove unicode accents using NFD normalization and filtering non-spacing marks. This enhances title comparison by handling accented characters more robustly.
Adjusts matching weights for YouTube sources to rely more on title and duration, adds a shutdown callback to the YouTube client to prevent new downloads during shutdown, and enhances post-processing to reliably resolve actual YouTube file paths. Improves error handling for file removal, ensures no new batch downloads start during shutdown, and refines download monitoring to trigger post-processing on completed YouTube downloads. Also increases YouTube download retries and improves logging for debugging.
Enhanced download status and post-processing logic to properly handle YouTube downloads alongside Soulseek transfers. Improved file organization for simple downloads, moving singles without album info directly to the Transfer root. Added a new generic Spotify search API endpoint. Updated frontend logic to correctly display YouTube download titles and results, and improved filename parsing for YouTube tracks.
Enhances streaming logic to better support YouTube as a download source, including improved filename handling, fuzzy file matching, and search query generation. Updates format checks in the frontend to skip them for YouTube (always MP3). Refactors backend to use a unified download status API for both Soulseek and YouTube, and improves service test messaging based on the active download mode.
Introduces a DownloadOrchestrator class to route downloads between Soulseek and YouTube based on user-configurable modes (Soulseek only, YouTube only, Hybrid with fallback). Updates web server and UI to support new download source settings, including hybrid mode options and YouTube confidence threshold. Refactors YouTube client for thread-safe download management and bot detection bypass. Ensures quality filtering is skipped for YouTube results and improves file matching and post-processing logic for YouTube downloads.
Introduces the $year variable for album, single, and playlist path templates, allowing users to include the release year in file organization. Updates the backend to extract and provide the year, adjusts the web UI to document the new variable, and updates validation logic to recognize $year as valid in templates.
Wrapped calls to schedule_next_wishlist_processing in try/except blocks to prevent timer thread termination if scheduling fails. This improves robustness and ensures continuity of automatic wishlist processing cycles even in the event of scheduling errors.
Increases Spotify search result limits for artists and albums. Adds dynamic glow effects to artist, album, and track cards in the UI using image-based colors. Significantly upgrades the CSS for enhanced dropdowns, cards, and lists with a premium, vibrant, and responsive design.
Bumps SoulSync version to 1.2, introducing a unified multi-source search system, a major overhaul of the matching engine for improved accuracy, and significant wishlist and quality-of-life improvements. Updates version info and UI elements to reflect the new release and its features.
