- _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION → 2.4.0 (was 2.39).
- Migrate WHATS_NEW key '2.40' → '2.4.0', strip unreleased flags off
the 27 entries shipping in this release, set release date.
- Replace parseFloat() version compare with proper int-tuple semver
comparator — parseFloat('2.4.0') and parseFloat('2.4.1') both return
2.4, which would have made future patch bumps invisible to the
What's New surfacing logic.
Five issues kettui flagged on PR #377:
- Worker race (reorganize_queue.py): _next_queued() picked an item and
released the lock, then re-acquired to flip status='running'. A
cancel() landing in that window marked the item cancelled but the
worker still ran it. Replaced with _claim_next_or_wait() that picks
AND flips under one lock acquisition.
- Wakeup race (reorganize_queue.py): _wakeup.clear() after the empty
check could lose an enqueue's _wakeup.set(), parking a freshly-queued
album for up to 60 seconds. Replaced Lock + Event with a single
threading.Condition; cond.wait() releases and re-acquires atomically
on notify.
- Bulk dedupe (reorganize_queue.py:enqueue_many): looped single-item
enqueue, so a duplicate album_id later in the same batch could slip
through if the worker finished the first copy before the loop
reached the second. Now holds the lock for the whole batch and tracks
a per-batch seen set, so intra-batch duplicates dedupe against each
other and not just pre-existing items.
- Preview button stuck disabled (library.js:loadReorganizePreview):
early returns and thrown errors skipped the re-enable line. Moved
state into a canApply flag committed in finally, so any exit path
lands the button correctly.
- DB helpers swallowing failures (music_database.py): get_album_display_meta
and get_artist_albums_for_reorganize used to catch every Exception
and return None / [], so a real DB outage masqueraded as "album not
found" / "no albums". Now lets exceptions bubble; the route layer
already wraps them as 500.
Tests:
- test_cancel_and_run_are_mutually_exclusive — hammers enqueue+cancel
pairs and asserts the invariant that no successfully-cancelled item
ever ran (catches regressions to the atomic pick).
- test_enqueue_many_dedupes_batch_internal_duplicates — pins the
intra-batch dedupe.
- test_get_album_display_meta_propagates_db_errors and
test_get_artist_albums_for_reorganize_propagates_db_errors — pin
the bubble-up behavior.
Changelog updated in helper.js and version modal.
Replaces the single-slot "one reorganize at a time, return 409 on collision"
model with a per-user FIFO queue. Buttons stay clickable, "Reorganize All"
is one backend call instead of an N-call JS loop, and a status panel mounted
at the top of the artist actions bar shows live progress (active item,
queued count, recent completions) with per-item cancel buttons.
Backend
- core/reorganize_queue.py: singleton queue + worker thread, dedupe-on-
enqueue, cancel rules (queued cancellable, running not), enqueue_many
for bulk operations, progress fan-out via update_active_progress
- core/reorganize_runner.py: factory builds the worker's runner closure
with injected dependencies. Reads config per-call so changing the
download path in Settings takes effect on the next reorganize without
a server restart
- database/music_database.py: get_album_display_meta and
get_artist_albums_for_reorganize — moves the SQL out of route handlers
- web_server.py: thin enqueue/snapshot/cancel/clear endpoints, runner
registration at module load. Old _reorganize_state globals + status
endpoint deleted. Static-asset cache buster (?v=<server-start>)
added so JS/CSS updates ship live without users clearing cache
Frontend
- webui/static/library.js: status panel mount, polling (1.5s when
active, 8s when idle), expand/collapse, per-item cancel, debounced
enhanced-view reload (one reload per artist batch instead of N).
Per-album reorganize button paints with queued/running indicator
and short-circuits to a toast when the album is already in queue
- webui/static/style.css: panel + button styling matching the existing
glass-UI accents
- webui/static/helper.js + version modal: WHATS_NEW entry
Tests (22 new)
- tests/test_reorganize_queue.py (19 tests): FIFO order, dedupe,
per-item source, cancel rules, continue-on-failure, snapshot
shape, progress propagation, bulk enqueue
- tests/test_reorganize_runner.py (4 tests): per-call config reads,
setup-failure summary, dependency injection, progress fan-out
- tests/test_reorganize_db_methods.py (7 tests): SQL JOIN behavior,
ordering, fallback for blank strings, artist isolation
Full suite 549 passed in 27s.
Reported on Discord by winecountrygames. The library "Reorganize" tool
had several layered bugs that all traced to the same root cause: the
endpoint reinvented every wheel post-processing already turns — its own
template engine, its own disc-number resolution from file tags, its own
sidecar sweep, its own collision detection — and each had drifted from
the canonical path used by fresh downloads. Reported symptoms:
- 3-disc Aerosmith deluxe collapsed to a flat single-disc layout
- Half the tracks on other albums silently skipped, no error / no count
- Re-runs left empty leftover album folders cluttering the artist dir
Architecture: stop reinventing wheels. Route reorganize through exactly
the same pipeline downloads use. Per-album:
1. Fetch the canonical tracklist from a metadata source (Spotify /
iTunes / Deezer / Discogs / Hydrabase) using the album's stored
source IDs. New `core/library_reorganize.py::plan_album_reorganize`
does this — primary-source-first, fall through priority chain
unless the user picked a specific source in the modal (strict mode).
2. For each local track, find the matching API entry via a scored
candidate matcher. Score components: exact-title (100),
substring-with-length-ratio (40-90), track-number agreement (20).
Hard reject when the two titles have different version
differentiators (Remix vs no-remix means different recordings,
not annotation drift). Below threshold = unmatched, surfaced as
"not in source's tracklist, left in place" rather than silently
mis-routing.
3. Copy the file to a per-album staging directory, build the same
context dict the import flow builds (`spotify_album` /
`track_info` / etc. with `is_album_download=True` so the path
builder enters ALBUM mode, not SINGLE mode), call
`_post_process_matched_download(...)` — same function fresh
downloads use. Post-process handles tagging, multi-disc subfolder
decisions, sidecar regeneration, AcoustID verification.
4. Read `context['_final_processed_path']` to learn where it landed.
Update `tracks.file_path` in the DB BEFORE removing the original
(DB-update failure leaves the file at both locations, recoverable
via library scan; the reverse would orphan the row). Delete
per-track sidecars (post-process recreates them at the new
destination).
3 concurrent workers per album via ThreadPoolExecutor, matching the
download path's per-batch worker count. State mutations all guarded by
a single lock; staging filenames carry a UUID prefix so concurrent
copies of identically-named source files don't overwrite each other.
Source picker in the modal lets the user choose which source to read
the tracklist from. Two endpoints feed it:
- `/api/library/album/<id>/reorganize/sources` — sources for THIS
album that are both authed AND have a stored ID. For the per-
album modal.
- `/api/library/reorganize/sources` — all authed sources globally.
For the bulk "Reorganize All" modal where per-album ID coverage
varies.
When the user picks a specific source, the orchestrator runs in
`strict_source=True` mode (no fallback chain) — picking Spotify means
"use Spotify or fail", not "use Spotify and silently fall back."
Preview endpoint shares the same planning logic as apply via
`preview_album_reorganize` — the destination path comes from the same
`_build_final_path_for_track` post-process uses, so what you see in
the preview is exactly what you get on apply.
Empty destination folders (from earlier failed runs OR from the
current run when post-process creates a dir then fails AcoustID)
get cleaned up after each successful run: walk up to the artist
folder from any successful destination, prune empty album-sibling
folders one level deep. Bounded scope = won't touch unrelated user
dirs.
Web_server.py shrinks by ~450 net lines. The endpoint handler is now
a thin wrapper that builds injected callables (path resolver, post-
process function, DB updater, empty-dir cleaner), spawns a thread
that calls `reorganize_album()`, and returns. All actual logic lives
in `core/library_reorganize.py` where it's unit-testable without
spinning up Flask.
Frontend cleanup: the per-call template input in both reorganize
modals (per-album and bulk) was redundant — the backend always uses
the configured global download template. Removed the input and the
variables-grid reference UI it was for.
39 new unit tests pin every contract:
- source resolution (no_source_id when album has none, fallthrough
chain when primary returns nothing, strict mode bypasses fallback)
- matcher scoring (exact / substring / multi-disc disambiguation /
smart-quote tolerance / dash-vs-parens / bonus-track substring /
Remix-vs-original differentiator rejection / "Real" doesn't false-
match "Real Real Real" / track-number-only no longer fires)
- file safety (DB-update failure leaves original in place, post-
process failure leaves original in place, post-process exception
caught and original preserved, success removes original AND
updates DB in the right order)
- sidecar handling (per-track .lrc/.nfo deleted on success, kept on
failure; album-level cover.jpg/folder.jpg cleaned only when
directory has no remaining audio)
- staging cleanup (recreated between tracks because post-process
nukes it, dir cleaned up on success AND on failure)
- destination-dir prune (empty siblings removed, real album with
files preserved, no recursive sweep)
- source picker (only authed-with-stored-ID sources for per-album,
all authed sources for bulk; strict mode doesn't fall back)
- concurrency (3 workers in flight, state stays consistent under
races, stop_check cuts off pending tasks)
- preview parity (preview produces same destination as apply for
multi-disc; ALBUM mode not SINGLE mode; unmatched/no-path tracks
surfaced with reasons)
Limitations (deliberate punts, NOT in this PR):
- Renamed local titles on multi-disc albums where track_number
also disagrees: matcher returns nothing (track is "not in
source"). Fixable by using duration_ms as a tertiary signal.
- Per-track in-modal source switching with per-album track-count
hints (would need a second API call before opening the modal).
- UI status panel on the artist page during a run — currently
just toasts. Documented as a follow-up PR.

Reported on Discord by winecountrygames — his bug report named the
trigger button (Enhanced view → Reorganize All) and both symptoms
(multi-disc collapse, half-album skip), which let the diagnosis go
straight to the architectural problem.
Reported on Discord by winecountrygames — Spotify auth granted, then
re-banned for 4 hours within ~30 seconds, repeatedly. Trace from his
captured log:
< 12:05 [pre-log] Spotify ban active when log starts
15:21:27 First ban EXPIRED → 5-minute post-ban cooldown begins
15:26:27 Cooldown ends, spotify_client.is_authenticated() probe
allowed again → client initialized
15:26:59 First Spotify API call after cooldown — get_artist_albums
for an artist whose discography a background worker was
enriching — gets 429 immediately with no Retry-After
header → new ban activated for 14400s (4 hours)
Root cause: `_POST_BAN_COOLDOWN = 300` (5 minutes) is shorter than
Spotify's actual server-side memory of the previous offense. The
cooldown exists specifically to prevent the "ban expires → we probe →
re-ban" cycle (`spotify_client.py:65-68` documents that intent
explicitly), but the value was wrong: Spotify's server still
considered this user banned 5 minutes after our local ban window
ended, so the very first call after cooldown got slapped.
The 4-hour re-ban itself is correct behavior — `_BASE_MAX_RETRIES_BAN`
fires when spotipy reports "max retries", which means the client
exhausted its internal retry budget on 429s before raising. That's a
severe-ban signal and a long default is the right response.
Fix: bump `_POST_BAN_COOLDOWN` to 1800 seconds (30 min). This is the
smallest change that addresses the immediate "re-probe → re-ban" loop
in the report. 30 minutes is an empirical floor — long enough for
Spotify to actually clear its server-side memory in the cases we've
observed, short enough not to keep functional users locked out beyond
necessary. Can be revisited if reports persist.
What this PR does NOT fix (important context for the same user):
This bump only helps the "ban expires → we re-probe → re-ban" loop.
It does NOT help winecountrygames's other symptom — Spotify being
banned within 30 seconds of his FIRST EVER authorization (no prior
ban). That's a separate failure mode: on first auth, enrichment
workers immediately fan out across the user's library (250 artists
in his case), hammering Spotify endpoints with bulk get_artist_albums
calls before any rate-limit feedback can land. Spotify's hidden
per-endpoint daily quotas — which BoulderBadgeDad has empirically
documented but the global rate limiter doesn't see — flag the burst
and impose a multi-hour cooldown that LOOKS like a bot-detection ban
to us. A proper fix needs a fresh-auth ramp-up: start with very low
Spotify QPS for the first N minutes, scale up only if no rate-limit
feedback arrives. That's a separate PR.
Documented as additional follow-ups (NOT in this change):
- Adaptive cooldown that scales with the size of the previous ban —
a 4-hour MAX_RETRIES ban probably warrants a 1-hour cooldown,
while a 60-second Retry-After-honored ban can resume in 5 minutes.
The system already distinguishes these in `_set_global_rate_limit`,
it just doesn't propagate the distinction to cooldown duration.
- Probe-with-light-call pattern — make the first post-cooldown call
a single inexpensive endpoint (`current_user`) rather than
allowing a background worker's heavy `get_artist_albums` to be
the canary. Failed probe extends cooldown silently instead of
triggering a fresh 4-hour ban.
- Fresh-auth ramp-up (per the limitation above).
Files:
- core/spotify_client.py — `_POST_BAN_COOLDOWN` 300 → 1800. Comment
expanded to cite the report so the value isn't bumped back without
context.
- webui/static/helper.js — WHATS_NEW entry under 2.40 explaining
the change for affected users.
No tests added — the cooldown logic itself is unchanged, only the
constant. Tests asserting on a constant value are theater.
Reported on Discord by winecountrygames — his captured log made the
"ban-expires-to-re-ban" timing chain unambiguous.
Reported on Discord by Netti93: with Tidal configured for "HiRes only"
and "Allow Quality Fallback" disabled, tracks were still downloading
successfully — as m4a 320kbps files. Some "successful" downloads were
less than half the file size of the same track pulled via Tidarr/tiddl
from the same Tidal account.
Root cause: Tidal's API silently degrades to the best quality your
account + the track + your region permits. Setting
`session.audio_quality = Quality.hi_res_lossless` and calling
`track.get_stream()` on a track that's only available in AAC returns
an AAC stream with no error. The downloader wrote the m4a file to
disk, the ~7MB size sailed past the 100KB stub threshold, and the
download reported success.
The pre-existing "verify quality wasn't silently downgraded" block
only LOGGED a warning when this happened; it did not fail the tier.
Two knock-on effects:
- Users with "HiRes only, no fallback" got m4a files anyway, which
defeats the setting entirely.
- The worker-level fallback chain (hires → lossless → high → low)
couldn't advance past the first tier, because every tier
"succeeded" at whatever Tidal happened to serve.
Fix: after `track.get_stream()`, compare `stream.audio_quality`
against the tier we asked for using a rank-based ordering:
LOW < HIGH < LOSSLESS < HI_RES < HI_RES_LOSSLESS
- Same tier or higher → accept (so the occasional Tidal upgrade
doesn't get rejected just because it's not an exact match).
- Lower tier → reject THIS tier. The loop `continue`s and the next
fallback tier is tried, or the whole download fails honestly
when the user has fallback disabled. The existing final-error
log already has a hint directing users to enable fallback if
they want automatic Lossless substitution.
- Unrecognized `audioQuality` value (e.g. a new Tidal tier we
haven't mapped) → reject conservatively, so the next fallback
tier gets a chance and the diagnostic log names the unknown
value.
Why the rank-based approach instead of strict equality:
Tidal's API doesn't technically promise an exact-tier match on
serving; on tracks that are flagged in its catalog as a higher
tier, it can serve higher than the session setting. Rejecting
higher-than-asked quality would be user-hostile. And the `HI_RES`
(legacy MQA) value — not in tidalapi's modern `Quality` enum but
possibly still present on old catalog entries — needs to rank
below `HI_RES_LOSSLESS`: users asking for true lossless HiRes
should reject MQA since MQA is a lossy format.
tidalapi's `Quality` enum is a `str` subclass whose VALUES (not
member names) match what the Tidal API returns in the
`audioQuality` field (e.g. `Quality.hi_res_lossless.value ==
'HI_RES_LOSSLESS'`, `Quality.low_320k.value == 'HIGH'`). Both
sides of the comparison are coerced to `str` before use, so the
check is robust to whichever tidalapi version exposes the served
quality as an enum or a plain string.
The check is extracted as `_verify_stream_tier(stream, q_info,
q_key) -> (ok, reason)` at module scope — a pure function with no
I/O, unit-tested independently. Ten tests: match, three upgrade
cases (LOSSLESS → HI_RES_LOSSLESS, LOSSLESS → HI_RES, LOW → any
higher), three downgrade cases (the reported HiRes → AAC, HiRes
Lossless → MQA HiRes, Lossless → AAC), one unrecognized-tier case,
and two defensive paths for older tidalapi builds without
`audio_quality` on the stream object and for QUALITY_MAP entries
that lack `tidal_quality` (e.g. tidalapi wasn't importable at
module load). Test stub updated to use uppercase `Quality` values
matching real tidalapi so case-sensitivity regressions get caught.
Also removed the old codec-string-based warning block — the new
tier check is strictly stronger, and keeping the warning around
would just be dead code waiting to drift out of sync.
Deliberately NOT tackling in this PR (documented as follow-ups):
- Bit-depth verification of HiRes FLAC files via mutagen. The
`stream.audio_quality` tier check catches the main "HiRes
requested, got AAC" case; bit-depth would only matter if Tidal
labeled a stream HI_RES_LOSSLESS but served a 16-bit FLAC
(`Stream.bit_depth` isn't reliable for this — tidalapi defaults
missing `bitDepth` fields to 16, so a trust-the-stream check
would spuriously reject valid HiRes whenever Tidal omits the
field). A proper fix runs mutagen post-download to inspect the
actual file, then decides whether to delete + retry the next
tier — a whole new failure mode with design trade-offs that
deserve their own PR. The support logs don't show this
happening.
- The "manual remap still says Not Found" symptom. Might be
downstream of this same bug (silent-AAC "success" hitting a
later rejection), might be a separate task-state issue. Not
guessing without logs from the retry path.
- Quality-aware stub threshold. 100KB is a reasonable floor for
real stub/preview detection and there's no evidence the
universal threshold is misfiring in the wild.
Field-verified status: desk-verified via unit tests and empirical
checks against a live tidalapi import (confirming the `Quality`
enum's str-subclass behavior). Not yet smoke-tested end-to-end
against a real Tidal account with a HiRes-only-no-fallback
setting — Netti93 or anyone else with that config should notice
either the fix working (non-HiRes tracks fail honestly with a
clear log line) or any regression before wider release.
Files:
- core/tidal_download_client.py — new `_verify_stream_tier` helper
and `_QUALITY_RANK` table at module scope, called in the
download loop after the stream is fetched and before any
bandwidth is spent. Removed the old inline codec-based warning
since the new check supersedes it.
- tests/test_tidal_stream_tier_verification.py — ten tests covering
match / upgrade / downgrade / unknown / defensive paths.
- tests/test_tidal_search_shortening.py — fake `Quality` values
brought in line with tidalapi's real values so both files share
a consistent stub regardless of pytest collection order.
- webui/static/helper.js — WHATS_NEW entry under 2.40 describing
the rank-based tier comparison.
Reported on Discord by Netti93 — the "same account works via
Tidarr" comparison narrowed the cause to SoulSync's download path
rather than an account/region issue.
Reported by sassmastawillis: the Album Completeness maintenance job
scans 3127 albums in 0.1 seconds and reports 0 findings — for every
user, regardless of whether their library is actually complete.
Restoring an older DB surfaced 7 correct findings, so the code logic
works; the DB state is what's making everything look complete.
Root cause: `albums.track_count` is only ever written by server-sync
paths — Plex's `leafCount`/`childCount` and SoulSync standalone's
`len(tracks)`. It's the OBSERVED count of tracks SoulSync has indexed,
which is always exactly what `COUNT(tracks)` returns for that album.
The completeness job treated it as the EXPECTED total and compared it
against the observed count. They're equal by construction, so
`actual >= expected` is always true: skip, 0.1s scan, 0 findings.
Fix: new `api_track_count INTEGER` column on `albums`, written only by
metadata-source code paths. Populated in two places so the scan is
fast and the fallback is robust.
1. Enrichment workers — shared helper `set_album_api_track_count`
in `core/worker_utils.py`. Called by each worker's existing
`_update_album` method alongside its other album-column UPDATEs:
- spotify_worker: `album_obj.total_tracks` from the Spotify Album
dataclass (already in hand, zero new API calls)
- itunes_worker: same, from the iTunes Album dataclass
- deezer_worker: `nb_tracks` from full_data, falling back to
search_data when the full lookup didn't run
- discogs_worker: count of tracklist rows where `type_=='track'`
(Discogs tracklists interleave heading and index rows that
shouldn't count as songs)
Helper skips the write on zero/None/negative/non-numeric inputs
so a source lacking track info can't clobber a good value a
different source already wrote. Caller owns the transaction —
helper just queues an UPDATE on the caller's cursor without
committing, so it batches cleanly with each worker's existing
multi-UPDATE pattern.
Hydrabase worker deliberately not touched — it's a P2P mirror
that doesn't write album metadata to the local DB. Hydrabase-
primary users hit the fallback path below.
2. Album Completeness repair job — new `al.api_track_count` column
in the SELECT, read first in the scan loop. On miss (album never
enriched, or enrichment workers haven't run yet on a fresh
install), falls through to the existing `_get_expected_total()`
API lookup and persists the result via the same shared helper
(wrapped in connection/commit management since the repair job
runs outside a worker's batched transaction).
Also removed `al.track_count` from the scan's SELECT — now unused
since the observed count was the whole source of this bug, and
leaving a dead SELECT would invite a future engineer to re-introduce
the same comparison.
Help text on the job card was reworded so it honestly describes
current behavior ("counts cached during normal enrichment are used
when available; otherwise the job queries a metadata source
directly") rather than the old "active provider first, then others
as fallback" phrasing, which doesn't match how the cache actually
fills — any enrichment worker that runs can populate it, and the
last writer wins. Document-only follow-up if this edge case ever
bites in practice: add a `api_track_count_source` column so the
scan can prefer the configured primary source's count over others
(e.g. deluxe vs. standard edition mismatches). Not worth the
complexity today.
For existing users, the first completeness scan after upgrade is
fast to the extent their library is already enriched: the workers
already ran and populated `api_track_count` on their normal schedule.
For brand-new installs, the scan's fallback path handles the cold
start — slower, but correct, and subsequent scans are fast.
Does NOT affect:
- Download / post-processing / wishlist / sync code paths — none
of them read `track_count` for completeness semantics.
- Plex / Jellyfin / Navidrome / standalone sync — still write
`track_count` exactly as before; `api_track_count` is a separate
column they never touch.
- Other repair jobs.
- Any UI path — same finding schema, just correct counts now.
Files:
- database/music_database.py — idempotent migration adding
`api_track_count INTEGER DEFAULT NULL` to the existing album-column
check block.
- core/worker_utils.py — new `set_album_api_track_count` helper with
the documented skip-on-bad-input contract.
- core/spotify_worker.py, itunes_worker.py, deezer_worker.py,
discogs_worker.py — one-liner call from each `_update_album`.
- core/repair_jobs/album_completeness.py — scan uses the cache;
fallback path persists API-lookup results via the shared helper;
help text updated to match actual behavior.

the helper's write/skip contract + no-commit invariant.
- tests/test_album_completeness_job.py — 2 tests for the repair
job's fallback-path wrapper.
- webui/static/helper.js — WHATS_NEW entry.
Credit: sassmastawillis spotted the bug; the "restored older DB
finds 7 albums" signal pinpointed DB state over code logic and
made the diagnosis tractable.
Three bugs from kettui's follow-up review pass on the MusicBrainz
search PR, all fixed in one commit because they share UI context.
1. Missing artist images on MB artist results
MusicBrainz doesn't store artist images directly. My earlier commit
returned `image_url=None` on every artist result and trusted the
frontend's lazy-loader — but the lazy-loader's `/api/artist/<id>/image?
source=musicbrainz` endpoint had no handler for MusicBrainz, so it
silently returned None and the emoji placeholder stayed.
Fix plumbs the artist name through:
- `renderCompactSection` stashes `data-artist-name` on artist cards.
- `search.js` and `downloads.js` lazy-loaders pass `name=<artist>` as a
query param.
- `/api/artist/<id>/image` accepts an optional `name` param.
- `metadata_service.get_artist_image_url` has a new `musicbrainz`
branch: since MB has no artist art, it searches fallback sources
(iTunes/Deezer by configured priority) for the artist name and
returns the first image found.
Verified live — Metallica/Kendrick Lamar/Daft Punk all resolve to
Deezer artist images via the name lookup.
2. total_tracks off-by-one on tracks with a release
`_recording_to_track` initialized `total_tracks = 1` and then summed
media track-counts on top. For an 11-track album, it reported 12. An
adapter-level regression introduced when the recording-projection
helper was extracted during the main MB refactor.
Fix: initialize at 0, sum normally. Standalone recordings with no
release (can happen for uncredited remixes etc.) still report 1 via
an explicit fallback — so the existing "single track" case isn't
broken.
3. "Artist Album Title" queries buried specific albums in the
discography list
Bare-name queries like "The Beatles Abbey Road" used to resolve "The
Beatles" as the artist and then browse their full discography — Abbey
Road was buried alphabetically among 200+ releases instead of being
the top result.
Fix adds a title-hint extractor. When the query starts with the
resolved artist name followed by more words, the trailing portion is
treated as a title hint. Browse results are filtered to those whose
release-group title contains the hint. If the filter matches nothing,
falls back to text-search with the hint as the title (the "keep the
old split-by-whitespace fallback" path kettui called for). If text-
search also misses, shows the full discography rather than nothing.
10 new tests in tests/test_musicbrainz_search.py (46 total):
- Title-hint extractor: basic match, case-insensitive, whitespace
tolerance, bare-artist-no-hint, artist-not-prefix-no-hint, word-
boundary required (no false splits on "Metallicasomething").
- Browse filtering by title hint.
- Text-search fallback when the title hint matches nothing in browse.
- Bare-artist queries return the full discography unfiltered.
- total_tracks for single-release, multi-disc, and no-release cases.
26 new unit tests in tests/test_musicbrainz_search.py covering:
- Cover Art URL construction (release + release-group scope, empty MBID,
unknown scope fallback)
- Structured query splitting (hyphen, en-dash, em-dash, bare name, no
false-positive splits on hyphens-inside-words)
- Artist search: score filtering, strict=False call contract, exception
handling, genre extraction from MB tags, mbid/name validation
- Top-artist resolver: memoization by normalized query, sub-threshold
returns None, negative-result caching, empty-query short-circuit
- Album search routing: bare query → browse path, structured query →
text path, no-artist-match falls back to text, text path score filter
- Track search routing: browse path, dedupe-by-title across
live/compilation variants, structured query → text path, text path
score filter
All mock the underlying MusicBrainzClient — no network calls.
Also adds a WHATS_NEW entry under 2.40 explaining the three user-visible
changes: Artists section now populates, album/track results match the
searched artist instead of random title collisions, and search completes
in ~3 seconds instead of 30+.
Clicking 'View Discography' on the Discover hero slideshow was calling
navigateToArtistDetail(id, name) without the third 'source' argument.
loadArtistDetailData then omits the `source` query param, so
/api/artist-detail falls through to a local DB lookup and returns 404
for artists that don't exist in the library — which is nearly every
hero artist, since they come from discover similar-artists.
Regression from the unification PR (93f1941) that rewrote the click
handler to route through the standalone /artist-detail page instead
of the old inline Artists view. The rewrite didn't thread the source.
Backend already includes `artist.source` on each hero entry. Fix:
- Stash artist.source as data-source on #discover-hero-discography
when displayDiscoverHeroArtist populates the card.
- Read data-source in viewDiscoverHeroDiscography and pass it as the
third arg to navigateToArtistDetail, so the eventual API call
includes `?source=itunes/deezer/etc.` and returns the synthesized
discography.
Reproduced by clicking View Discography on a non-Spotify hero artist
(log showed `GET /api/artist-detail/76258852?name=ДЕТИ+RAVE → 404,
Getting artist detail for ID: 76258852 (source=library)`).
Cin flagged that Soulseek was always rendered as configured in the
source picker, even on dev instances with no slskd set up — letting
users click it and fire searches that could never succeed.
Three coordinated changes:
1. web_server.py SERVICE_CONFIG_REGISTRY: add Soulseek entry requiring
`slskd_url`. /api/settings/config-status now reports its real state
alongside every other service.
2. shared-helpers.js _ALWAYS_CONFIGURED_SOURCES: drop 'soulseek'. The
set is now just MusicBrainz + YouTube Music Videos (sources that
genuinely don't need user creds). Soulseek goes through the normal
config-status code path.
3. shared-helpers.js openSettingsForSource: special-case Soulseek to
route to Settings → Downloads tab (where slskd URL field lives,
gated behind the download-source-mode dropdown) and scroll to the
#soulseek-url input. Every other source still routes to Connections
and scrolls to its .stg-service card. Without this, Soulseek's
"click to configure" landed on a Connections card that doesn't
exist (Soulseek's URL/key fields are scoped to the download-source
selection on the Downloads tab).
Two AI-review findings from Cin (kettui) on the source-picker PR:
1. Soulseek handoff from global widget went through metadata flow
_gsNavigateToSearchPage(query, 'soulseek') wrote the query into
#enhanced-search-input and dispatched an input event. The Search
page controller's activeSource was whatever its default was
(spotify, deezer, etc.), so the debounced submitQuery ran the
enhanced /api/enhanced-search flow instead of the raw Soulseek
file search. The `src` parameter was effectively ignored.
Fix: when src === 'soulseek', pre-fill #downloads-search-input
directly and click the Search page's Soulseek icon. The icon click
triggers the controller's onSoulseekSelected callback, which owns
the section swap and re-runs performDownloadsSearch against the
value we just wrote to the basic input.
2. Stale in-flight requests cleared loadingSources after fast retype
createSearchController._fetchSource awaits the fetch result, then
unconditionally mutates state.loadingSources / state.sources in
the settle and catch blocks. When a user typed "abc" → fetch
started → typed "abcd" before the first fetch returned, the
second submitQuery aborted the first fetch and started its own.
The first fetch's catch (AbortError) then ran and cleared
loadingSources for that source — wiping the spinner the new
request had just set, and causing a brief flash of empty/error
state while the new fetch was still in flight.
Fix: monotonic _requestSeq token. Each _fetchSource call captures
the next value (++_requestSeq). Settle / catch blocks (and the
YouTube NDJSON streaming loop) bail before mutating shared state
if requestId !== _requestSeq. Existing abortCtrl behavior unchanged
— this is a layered defense for the catch-clobber pattern that
abort alone can't prevent.
Cin flagged two related UX issues during PR review:
1. The "Show Results / Hide Results" toggle next to the search bar served
no real purpose — there was nothing else on the Search page worth seeing
instead of results, so toggling visibility was always pointless overhead.
2. Navigating away from /search via a sidebar link dismissed the dropdown
(the click was caught by the outside-click handler). Coming back left
the input populated but the results hidden, requiring a Show Results
click or a fresh search. The cached state was intact in the controller
the whole time — just not rendered.
Both fixed by the same direction: dropdown visibility becomes a pure
function of query state, never user-toggleable. The closure now exposes
`_searchPageRestoreOnEnter` so subsequent calls to `initializeSearchModeToggle`
re-render from the controller's cached state instead of early-returning.
Removes the button HTML, click handler, `updateToggleButtonState` function,
the desktop + responsive CSS for `.enhanced-search-btn`, and the orphaned
`.btn-icon` rule. Net -94 lines.
The hourly `clean_search_history` automation was crashing with
`'DownloadOrchestrator' object has no attribute 'base_url'`. The guard
was written before the orchestrator refactor — `soulseek_client` is now
a DownloadOrchestrator that wraps individual download clients, with the
real Soulseek client sitting at `.soulseek`.
Two other call sites in web_server.py (lines 2634, 3092) already used
the correct `soulseek_client.soulseek.base_url` pattern with a getattr
guard. This call site was missed during the refactor.
Fix: reach through the orchestrator the same way the other sites do.
Both the Search page and the global search widget ran the same source-
picker state machine (query, activeSource, per-query cache, fallbacks,
loading set, configured-source discovery, NDJSON streaming for YouTube,
default-source fall-forward). That was ~380 lines of near-duplicated
logic split across search.js and downloads.js, which meant every bug fix
or behavior tweak had to land twice and inevitably drifted.
createSearchController in shared-helpers.js now owns all of that. Each
surface passes per-surface wiring — a source-row DOM element, a CSS
class prefix, and callbacks for Soulseek handoff + unconfigured-source
redirect — and consumes the controller's state via an onStateChange
callback. The surface files shrink to their actual responsibilities:
results rendering, click handlers, and surface-specific visibility.
Zero UX change. Every keystroke, icon click, cache hit, rate-limit
fallback, and unconfigured-source redirect behaves identically to before
— verified via full pytest suite (395 passed) and node --check on all
three files.
WHATS_NEW entry added under the 2.40 unified-search bucket.
The existing 2.40 WHATS_NEW entry described the short-lived "Search
from" dropdown that preceded this redesign. Updated to describe the
icon row + per-query cache + rate-limit fallback banner + global widget
parity that actually ships.
Click-for-help annotations and the "First Download" tour now point at
`#enh-source-row` (the new icon container) instead of the deleted
`.search-source-picker-container` dropdown and the deleted
`.enh-source-tabs` post-search tab bar. Adjusted the enhanced-search
tips so "multi-source tabs compare results" doesn't mislead — the
icons above the bar are how you compare now.
Version stays at 2.39 — the 2.40 WHATS_NEW section is accumulating
under the "Search & Artists unification" umbrella and will publish
when the whole 2.40 cycle ships.
helper.js click-for-help annotations had ~10 entries pointing at DOM
elements from the retired inline Artists page (#artists-search-input,
#artists-back-button, #artists-results-state, #artists-cards-container,
#artists-hero-section, .artists-hero-name/badges/genres/bio/stats,
#artist-detail-watchlist-btn/-settings-btn, .artist-detail-tabs,
#albums-tab, #singles-tab, #album-cards-container, #singles-cards-
container) plus #similar-artists-section pointing at the legacy id
(now #ad-similar-artists-section on the standalone page).
Replaced the dead Artists-page block with annotations that target
elements actually present on the standalone /artist-detail page:
.album-card, .completion-overlay, #ad-similar-artists-section,
.similar-artist-bubble, plus a new entry for .search-source-picker-
container on the unified Search page.
docs.js: 'How to: Set Up Auto-Downloads' step 1 used to read 'Search
for artists on the Artists page and click the Watch button on each
one'. Updated to 'Find artists via the Search page (or click an
artist anywhere in the app), then click the Watch button on the
artist detail page' — matches the post-unification flow.
Backend API endpoint references in docs.js (/library/artists, etc.)
are unrelated to the retired frontend page and stay as-is.
Part D + E of the deferred cleanup + the final version bump that
publishes the whole Search/Artists unification project.
Deletions:
- webui/static/artists.js (1903 lines) — removed entirely. The 2
remaining externally-referenced helpers (lazyLoadArtistImages +
showCompletionError) moved into shared-helpers.js first.
- webui/index.html — 140-line #artists-page HTML block and the
<script src="artists.js"> tag both removed.
init.js wiring:
- 'case artists:' removed from loadPageData switch (no page to init).
- navigateToPage top-level alias extended: 'artists' → 'search'
(same pattern as the existing 'downloads' → 'search' alias).
Legacy /artists bookmarks land on the unified Search page, the
natural place to find an artist now.
- _getPageFromPath now maps artist-detail → library as its parent
(was artists). Matches the existing library-nav-highlight at
init.js:2161.
Version bump:
- _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION 2.39 → 2.40.
- WHATS_NEW entries lose the 'unreleased' scaffolding and gain a
new top entry summarizing the unified artist-detail page + the
final artists.js retirement.
- version-info modal gets a 'Search & Artists Unification' section
at the top.
- The _getLatestWhatsNewVersion filter added during the unreleased-
tracking phase is rolled back — entries now display as soon as
they land in WHATS_NEW, matching the pre-unification behaviour.
Test suite:
- tests/test_script_split_integrity.py SPLIT_MODULES updated:
'artists.js' dropped, 'shared-helpers.js' added. escapeHtml's
cross-file dupe list entry updated to reference shared-helpers.
- 354/354 tests pass.
User-visible result after this commit:
- Sidebar: Search, Downloads, Discover, Library, Wishlist, etc. —
no more Artists entry.
- Click any artist anywhere: lands on the same /artist-detail page.
- Search page has a source dropdown; Soulseek is just another option.
- Legacy /downloads and /artists URLs alias to /search.
- Version button shows v2.3 (Docker major); "What's New" panel
opens to the unification summary.
Closes the project Cin requested in Discord. Future work: source-aware
/api/artist-detail could be extended to fall back through the whole
source priority chain when a specific source is given but returns no
discography. Not needed for the current flows.
When the user reached the inline Artists detail view from outside
the Artists page and no browser history is available (direct
bookmark), fall back to the Search page instead of Dashboard.
Search is the natural next step for finding a different artist.
Reverts the 2.40→2.49 version spam from this session — every phase
commit was bumping the display version when the whole Search/Artists
unification project should really be a single release.
Changes:
- _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION back to 2.39
- All session-level version-info sections consolidated — the endpoint
response is back to the pre-session 2.39 shape
- helper.js WHATS_NEW entries for 2.40–2.49 collapsed into a single
'2.40' block with one bullet per phase, marked unreleased
- _getLatestWhatsNewVersion / _showOlderNotes filter out entries
whose version is higher than the current build, so the 2.40 block
won't fire the 'new' badge or appear in the What's New panel until
we actually flip the build version
- Picks up the artist-detail back-button fix from the previous turn
(falls back to browser history when the user reached the inline
detail from outside the Artists page)
When the unification project is done, a single commit that bumps
_SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION to 2.40 will publish the whole folded entry.
Phase 4a (9361c29) mistakenly routed every artist click to
navigateToArtistDetail, which fetches /api/artist-detail/<id>. That
endpoint only knows how to look up local DB primary keys. For source
artists (Spotify/Deezer/iTunes/etc.) the id is a metadata-source id,
not a library PK — so clicks 404'd out.
Library artists (db_artists section in search results, library page
clicks, stats links, media player) continue to go to the standalone
/artist-detail page as before. Source artists now route back to the
Artists page's inline view via selectArtistForDetail, which calls
/api/artist/<id>/discography with a source param — the endpoint that
actually handles non-library IDs.
Reverted 7 migration points:
- search.js: Enhanced Search source-artists onClick
- downloads.js: global widget _gsClickArtist non-library branch
- downloads.js: _navigateToArtistFromModal fallback
- discover.js: viewRecommendedArtistDiscography
- discover.js: viewDiscoverHeroDiscography
- discover.js: 'Your Artists' card name-click inline HTML
- discover.js: 'Your Artists' info-modal 'View All' button
- discover.js: artist-map context menu
- discover.js: genre-deep-dive artist click
- api-monitor.js: watchlist artist discography view
Phase 4a's goal of "one artist page for everything" is deferred —
it needs backend work on /api/artist-detail to accept a source param
and fall back to metadata-source lookup when the local DB lookup
fails. Keeping the signature extension on navigateToArtistDetail
(source parameter) in place for when that lands.
Phase 4c of the Search/Artists unification — docs-only cleanup.
The click-for-help system and the 'Your First Download' guided tour
referenced elements that no longer exist (the Basic/Enhanced toggle,
the embedded download-manager toggle, the active/finished queue
panels). Updated annotations + tour steps to match the current UI.
- New annotation for .search-source-picker-container (the dropdown)
- Removed 6 annotations for deleted elements
- 'first-download' tour now walks users through the source picker
and uses page: 'search' (PAGE_TOUR_MAP accepts both 'search' and
the legacy 'downloads' id so older bookmarks still match)
- Retired the 'artists-browse' standalone tour — no sidebar entry
- Dropped the dead #finished-queue detection in the setup milestone
check (the dashboard stat card is the single source of truth)
Phase 4b of the Search/Artists unification. Cin flagged that 'Artists'
in the sidebar read like a library section but was actually a
dedicated artist-search page, duplicating what unified Search already
does. Removed the sidebar entry so users funnel through Search.
- Sidebar Artists button gone
- 'Browse Artists' on empty Watchlist now opens Search
- 'View artist from Wishlist' opens Search pre-filled with the name
- Profile Home Page + Page Access drop the Artists option
artists.js stays on disk: it defines ~30 shared helpers used across
the app (escapeHtml, openDownloadMissingModalForArtistAlbum, service
status, download bubbles, image helpers) that library/discover/etc.
depend on. Wholesale deletion would orphan too much. The inline
Artists page and its selectArtistForDetail flow are still there —
just unreachable from the sidebar — so /artists deep links keep
working for bookmarks.
Phase 4a of the Search/Artists unification. The app had two artist-
detail implementations: the standalone page Library navigates to via
navigateToArtistDetail (its own route, deep-link support, highlights
Library in the sidebar), and an inline state inside the Artists page
reached via selectArtistForDetail. They rendered similar content but
were separate code paths and kept drifting apart (PR #356 just had
to fix source propagation in both).
Every external caller of selectArtistForDetail (9 sites across
api-monitor.js, discover.js, downloads.js, search.js) now calls
navigateToArtistDetail(id, name, source) directly. Removed ~63 lines
of the navigate-then-setTimeout-then-select dance. Source context
(Spotify/iTunes/Deezer/etc.) carries cleanly through via the new
third argument.
Artists sidebar entry, its inline search, and selectArtistForDetail
all still work — they just have no external callers. Phase 4b will
retire the sidebar entry and artists.js.
Phase 3c of the Search/Artists unification. The Search page carried
a second copy of the Download Manager (active + finished queues,
clear/cancel-all buttons) that was hidden by default and duplicated
the dedicated Downloads page. That duplicate is now gone.
Removed:
- Side-panel HTML block and the toggle button that showed/hid it
- ~290 lines of polling + render infra in downloads.js: loadDownloads-
Data, startDownloadPolling/stopDownloadPolling, updateDownload-
Queues, renderQueue, updateTabCounts/updateDownloadStats,
initializeDownloadTabs/switchDownloadTab, cancelDownloadItem,
clearFinishedDownloads, cancelAllDownloads, and the
activeDownloads/finishedDownloads globals
- initializeDownloadManagerToggle and its call from init.js
- Stopped hitting /api/downloads/status every second on the Search
page (the dedicated Downloads page already polls its own view)
CSS grid for the Search page collapsed from '1fr 370px' to '1fr' now
that the right panel is gone. Unused .controls-panel__* / .download-
manager__* / .downloads-side-panel CSS rules kept in place — harmless,
can be pruned later.
Phase 3b of the Search/Artists unification. The Search page's
internal id was 'downloads', which clashed with the actual Downloads
page (id 'active-downloads') and confused anyone reading the code.
Renamed to 'search' across HTML, navigation, DOM selectors, and the
deep-link route list.
Backwards compat: navigateToPage('downloads') aliases to 'search'
at the top of the function; /downloads URL still serves index.html
and the client router resolves the page correctly; profile ACL
checks accept both 'search' and 'downloads' so existing profiles
with 'downloads' in allowed_pages keep working without migration.
Sidebar label unchanged. Zero visual change — pure internal tidy.
Phase 3 of the Search/Artists unification. The Search page's two-mode
toggle is replaced by a single 'Search from' dropdown: All sources
(Auto), Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Discogs, Hydrabase, MusicBrainz,
or Soulseek (raw files). Auto keeps today's fan-out behavior for
backwards compatibility; picking a specific source hits only that
provider. 'Soulseek' routes to the raw-file basic section, so one
picker covers both old modes. Loading text and the enhanced fetch
now respect the selected source. Zero API changes — uses the source
param added in 2.40 and the shared fetch helper from 2.41.
Phase 2 of the Search/Artists unification: the Search page dropdown
and the global spotlight widget both POST to /api/enhanced-search
with identical boilerplate. Extracted into enhancedSearchFetch() in
search.js (loaded before downloads.js). Both callers migrated. Zero
UX change — purely sets up Phase 3 to wire a source picker in one
place instead of two.
Phase 1 of the Search/Artists unification project: the endpoint now
accepts an optional `source` (spotify, itunes, deezer, discogs,
hydrabase, musicbrainz) so callers can target a single metadata source
instead of always fanning out. Omitted or `auto` preserves current
multi-source behavior — no existing callers break. Cache keys include
the source tag so per-source and fan-out results don't collide.
User reported searching "Maduk - Leave A Light On" on Tidal silently
downloaded Tom Walker's completely different song of the same name, then
embedded Maduk's metadata into Tom Walker's audio. Three layers of
defense all failed permissively. Two of them are fixed here; the third
(score formula weights) was left alone since these two together cover it.
Layer 1 fix — candidate artist gate (web_server.py:27782)
Old: `if _best_artist < 0.4 and confidence < 0.85: continue`
New: `if _best_artist < 0.5 and confidence < 0.85: continue`
SequenceMatcher returns exactly 0.400 for "maduk" vs "tom walker"
(5-char vs 10-char strings with coincidental char matches), which
slipped past the strict `< 0.4` check. The word-boundary containment
check earlier in the function already short-circuits legitimate
formatting variations to sim=1.0, so falling to SequenceMatcher means
strings are genuinely different. 0.5 closes the fencepost AND gives
a small safety buffer.
Layer 3 fix — AcoustID verification (acoustid_verification.py:316)
When title matches but artist doesn't AND expected artist isn't found
anywhere in AcoustID's returned recordings:
Old: always SKIP (let file through, assume cover/collab)
New: FAIL if artist_sim < 0.3 (clear mismatch)
SKIP if artist_sim >= 0.3 (ambiguous — cover/collab/formatting)
The 0.3 cutoff catches hard mismatches like Maduk/Tom Walker (sim ~0.2)
while preserving benefit-of-the-doubt for borderline artist formatting
differences. Legitimate covers and collabs where the expected artist
appears anywhere in AcoustID's recordings still PASS via the existing
secondary-match loop above.
Both fixes are defense-in-depth — either alone would have caught this
bug. Together they close the pre-download AND post-download gaps.
All 292 tests pass. Version bumped to 2.39 with changelog entries.
Companion fix to the provider-hardcode bug (6ceedc8). The cache
matched_data built by the 5 update_match / fix endpoints was dropping
image_url and album.images when album came back as a bare string —
common for Deezer and iTunes search results. Cache hits on re-discovery
then produced downloads with no artwork.
Each save site now carries image info through:
- album_obj gets image_url + images:[{url}] populated from spotify_track.image_url
- matched_data adds top-level image_url for pipeline consumers that check there
- Works for both dict-shaped album (Spotify) and string-shaped album (Deezer/iTunes)
Mirrors the handling already present in _build_fix_modal_spotify_data for
the in-memory result['spotify_data'] — explains why the UI showed art fine
during the fix modal but the cached entry lost it after restart.
save_discovery_cache_match uses INSERT OR REPLACE, so existing bad cache
entries refresh when the user re-fixes the track. No manual cache clearing
needed.
Added to 2.38 changelog (same round of discovery-fix work).
Five update_match endpoints hardcoded the provider as 'spotify' when
saving manual fixes to the discovery cache, but the re-discovery worker
queries the cache with _get_active_discovery_source() — the user's
actual primary. If the primary was Deezer/iTunes/Discogs/Hydrabase, the
provider column never matched, so every manual fix looked like it
vanished on restart.
Replaced 'spotify' with _get_active_discovery_source() at all 5 sites:
- Tidal update_match (web_server.py:34569)
- Deezer update_match (web_server.py:36235)
- Spotify Public update_match (web_server.py:37084)
- YouTube update_match (web_server.py:38037)
- Discovery Pool fix (web_server.py:49787)
Now symmetric with how the auto-discovery workers already save. Spotify-
primary users see no change (the hardcoded value matched their source).
Version bumped to 2.38 with changelog + version-info entries.
Two bugs reported in issue #320:
1. Auto-watchlist scan bypassed Global Override settings.
scan_watchlist_profile applied _apply_global_watchlist_overrides, but
the scheduled auto-scan called scan_watchlist_artists directly —
bypassing the override. Users who unchecked "Albums" or "Live" under
Watchlist → Global Override still saw full albums and live tracks
added during nightly scans (per-artist defaults, which include
everything, won).
Moved override application into scan_watchlist_artists itself so
every entry point respects it. scan_watchlist_profile now forwards
the apply_global_overrides flag through to avoid double-application.
2. is_live_version (watchlist + discography backfill) and
live_commentary_cleaner's content patterns used bare \blive\b, which
matched verb uses like "What We Live For" by American Authors,
"Live Forever" by Oasis, "Live and Let Die" by Wings.
Tightened the live patterns to require clear recording context:
(Live) / [Live Version] / - Live / Live at|from|in|on|version|
session|recording|performance|album|show|tour|concert|edit|cut|take
/ In Concert / On Stage / Unplugged / Concert.
Locked in 11 regression tests covering the reported false positives
(What We Live For, Live Forever, Living on a Prayer, Live and Let Die)
and the reported true positives (Dimension - Live at Big Day Out,
MTV Unplugged, etc.).
Version bumped to 2.37 with changelog entries.
_loadCacheHealthStats ran async from loadRepairFindingsDashboard and
appended a new .repair-cache-health div each time. If the dashboard
refreshed while earlier fetches were still in flight, each resolving
fetch appended its own section — producing 2–6 stacked copies.
Now each fetch removes any existing .repair-cache-health inside the
dashboard before appending, so at most one bar is ever visible.
Root-cause fix for "scanning 50 artists" then silence: when the master
repair worker was paused, force-run still kicked off _run_job but the
job's first wait_if_paused() blocked forever because is_paused was tied
to the master-enabled state. Force-run now bypasses master-pause —
scheduled runs still respect it.
Also fixes Fix All on discography findings doing nothing: the backend
bulk_fix_findings query had a fixable_types allowlist that excluded
missing_discography_track (and acoustid_mismatch). Added both.
Backfill job rebuild:
- auto_add_to_wishlist opt-in setting — creates findings AND pushes to
wishlist during the scan
- 3-option fix dialog (Add to Wishlist / Just Clear / Cancel) on single
Fix, Bulk Fix selection, and Fix All (page-level)
- Fix All "Just Clear" path uses the clear endpoint with job_id filter
instead of the generic "may delete files" bulk-fix warning
- Batched in-memory matching using get_candidate_albums_for_artist +
get_candidate_tracks_for_albums (same fast path the Library pages use)
- Rich album context per finding (id, name, album_type, release_date,
images, artists, total_tracks) — flows through the wishlist pipeline
so auto-processor classifies each track into the right cycle
(albums vs singles) and post-processing gets correct folder/tags/art
- Per-artist progress logs [N/50] Scanning ArtistName
- Default interval 24h (was 168h); all release types default on; settings
reordered with _section_* group headers (Core / Release Types /
Content Filters)
Repair settings UI:
- Generic _section_<name> key convention renders as an uppercase group
divider in the settings panel — any job can opt in
- .repair-setting-row gets a dashed bottom border so label↔toggle pairing
is visually clear
- _prettifyRepairSettingKey fixes acronym capitalization (EPs, not Eps)
Version bumped to 2.36 with changelog entries.
Artist detail pages ran check_album_exists_with_editions and check_track_exists
per discography item, each firing 5+ title variations times 3 artist variations
of fuzzy LIKE searches plus fallback broad-artist queries. For a 30-album artist
that was ~450 SQL round-trips just to answer "which of these do I own."
Hoist the artist's library albums and tracks into memory once per request via
two new helpers — get_candidate_albums_for_artist and get_candidate_tracks_for_albums —
and thread them through as optional candidate_albums / candidate_tracks params on
check_album_exists_with_editions, check_album_exists_with_completeness,
check_track_exists, check_album_completion, and check_single_completion.
Batched path scores the same _calculate_album_confidence / _calculate_track_confidence
against the in-memory list, preserving Smart Edition Matching and accuracy.
Title-only cross-artist fallback still fires for collaborative-album edge cases.
None on either param preserves legacy per-item SQL behavior for unaffected callers.
Applied to both /api/library/completion-stream (library artist detail page) and
iter_artist_discography_completion_events (Artists search page). Timing logs
added to confirm the pre-fetch cost and loop elapsed time.
On a Kendrick page load, per-album resolution drops from ~8 seconds to under
the 50ms streaming sleep floor. Observed ~100x SQL reduction on the happy path.
The reorganize endpoints built a template context without albumtype,
so ${albumtype} silently fell through to the engine's hardcoded "Album"
default — EPs, singles, and compilations all landed in Albums/.
Wires albumtype through from the albums table's record_type column
(populated by Spotify/Deezer/iTunes enrichment workers) with track-count
fallback when record_type is missing. New helper mirrors the download
pipeline's classification logic so reorganize produces the same folders
as initial placement. Also handles Deezer's raw 'compile' value which
the Deezer worker writes directly without mapping.
New "Reorganize All" button in enhanced library artist header processes
all albums sequentially using the configured path template.
Version bumped to 2.35. Updated What's New modal with major features
(Discography Backfill, Multi-Artist Tagging, Enriched Downloads,
Template Delimiters, Reorganize All). Updated helper.js changelog
with all April 20 fixes and features.
Track ownership: check-tracks endpoint now filters by album context
when provided, preventing false "Found" when a track exists in a
different album by the same artist (e.g. Thriller on HIStory).
Wing-it wishlist: manual "Add to Wishlist" button now skips wing-it
fallback tracks (wing_it_ ID prefix), matching the behavior of
failed download and failed sync paths.
Debug info: watchlist/wishlist/automation counts were always 0
because get_db() doesn't exist — fixed to get_database().
The /api/artist/{id}/album/{id}/tracks endpoint was hardcoded to use
spotify_client and returned 401 if Spotify wasn't authenticated,
even when the user's primary source was Deezer or iTunes. Now uses
the configured primary metadata source via _get_metadata_fallback_client
with Spotify as fallback. Also gives a clearer error message when
no metadata source is available at all.
Adding a soundtrack or compilation album to wishlist was creating
separate wishlist entries per track artist (e.g. Persona 3 OST split
into ATLUS Sound Team/Lotus Juice/Azumi Takahashi). Now uses the
album-level artist when available so all tracks stay grouped as one
album. Per-track artist resolution only applies to playlists where
there's no album context.
Some metadata APIs return fewer or no results for all-lowercase
queries. Title-case the query when it's all lowercase before
sending to the API ("foreigner" → "Foreigner"). Mixed-case input
is left as-is. Confidence scoring still uses the original query.
Fixed 5 critical gaps in the download orchestrator where lidarr was
missing from client loops: get_all_downloads, get_download_status,
cancel_download fallback, clear_all_completed_downloads, and
cancel_all_downloads. Without these, lidarr downloads were invisible
to the UI, couldn't be cancelled, and accumulated in memory.
Also: error messages now visible in download list (appended to
filename on error state), removed "(Development)" label from UI.
M3U files were generated when the download batch completed but
before post-processing finished tagging and moving files. Paths
pointed to download locations instead of final library paths,
making every track show as missing. Now regenerates the M3U from
the backend batch completion handler after all post-processing
is guaranteed done, resolving real file paths from the library DB.
Skips overwrite if zero tracks resolve to avoid replacing a
partially-good M3U with an all-missing one.
The retag fix for AcoustID mismatches was only updating the DB
record (title, artist_id) without writing corrected tags to the
actual audio file. Users would click Fix, the finding disappeared,
but the file on disk stayed unchanged. Now writes title and artist
tags to the file via Mutagen after the DB update.
Also fixed artist INSERT missing server_source when creating a new
artist during retag — now uses the active media server value.
Auto-wishlist albums cycle was passing is_album=True to
_get_batch_max_concurrent which returns 1 for soulseek mode.
This restriction is for folder-based album grabs from a single
peer, not individual track downloads. Wishlist always does
single-track downloads regardless of cycle, so it should use
the user's configured concurrency setting.
