BoulderBadgeDad 6f451a34e1 playlist export: hide Spotify until on-demand write-auth; release notes → Deezer-now
Follow-up to the auth hotfix (633aa82b). The Spotify playlist-write scope was reverted out of the
global OAuth scope (it was force-invalidating every user's token on upgrade), so "Sync to Spotify"
can't get write access yet — clicking it would dead-end on a misleading "reconnect Spotify". So:

- removed the "Sync to Spotify" button from the export modal (Deezer stays); the backend write
  client + endpoint are left in place, dormant, for when on-demand write-auth lands
- modal copy is now Deezer-only ("Match missing tracks (Deezer)", "stored Deezer ID")
- release notes (pr_description, helper.js WHATS_NEW + version modal, RELEASE_2.8.1_discord.md)
  reworded from "Spotify & Deezer" to "Deezer", with a "Spotify export coming in a follow-up" note

64 script-integrity tests green; discord file back under the 2000-char limit (1952); no stale
Sync-to-Spotify mentions remain. Deezer export (live-verified) is unaffected.

soulsync 2.8.1 — devmain

a feature + reliability release. the headline is export a mirrored playlist back to Deezer — same one-click flow as the listenbrainz export, now pointed at your Deezer account (Spotify export is coming in a follow-up). plus a rename-only mode for Library Reorganize, broader lossless handling, a pile of download fixes, and the reduce-visual-effects pass refined so it stops freezing functional motion.


what's new

🎧 Export playlists to Deezer (#945)

the mirrored-playlist export modal now has Sync to Deezer next to the listenbrainz / jspf options. it builds a Deezer playlist in your account from the tracks soulsync already has the Deezer IDs for:

  • resolves each track from what's already on hand first — the discovery cache, then your library's stored IDs — so for an already-discovered playlist it's instant and uses zero API calls
  • re-exporting updates the same playlist in place instead of spawning duplicates
  • an optional "match missing tracks" toggle does a confident live search for the stragglers — and only adds a match it's sure about (a wrong-artist or karaoke version is left out, never guessed)
  • the Deezer button greys out + points you to Settings when Deezer isn't connected
  • Spotify export is wired up but waiting on an on-demand write-permission flow, so it's hidden for now

🏷️ Library Reorganize — Rename only (#875)

a lighter reorganize action: it just renames your files to your current naming scheme — no re-tagging, no quality/AcoustID re-check, no copy-to-staging. much faster on a NAS, won't fail on post-processing reasons, and only touches files whose path actually changes (which also fixes the "2 of 14 previewed but everything got modified" album-splitting). pick it from the new Action dropdown in the reorganize modal.

💿 Lossless handling

  • lossy-copy now works for all lossless formats, not just FLAC (#941)
  • DSD (.dsf / .dff) is recognized as lossless and no longer false-flagged as "truncated" (#939)

🐛 Download + search fixes

  • a download with an unbalanced bracket in its name no longer false-fails as "file not found"
  • a file we couldn't quarantine is left in place for retry instead of deleted
  • the Identify search for single imports defaults to "artist - title" (with the dash)
  • "file not found" failures now say what actually happened instead of an opaque error
  • pasted Qobuz/Tidal links inject the exact track into manual search instead of hoping text-search surfaces it (#932)
  • the Wing It pool "Fix Match" search works again (it was returning "no results" for everything)

Visual effects + scan reliability

  • Reduce visual effects no longer freezes functional motion (spinners, progress) — it only kills the expensive GPU stuff (blur, shadows, glow)
  • worker orbs default OFF on Firefox for new users, and run at ~30fps under reduce-effects
  • jellyfin library scans page the bulk fetch so the no-progress watchdog can't false-stall a big library

🔧 Under the hood

  • settings page cleanup (#943 — thanks @nick2000713)
  • spotify oauth credential normalization + redirect-uri handling (#942 — thanks HellRa1SeR)
  • security: npm audit fixes for vite / undici / @babel (#944 — thanks HellRa1SeR)
