soulsync 2.7.7 — dev → main

a fix-heavy patch on top of 2.7.6 — a big sweep of reported issues, the start of listening-driven recommendations, and a metadata-parity fix that stops downloads from needing a manual reorganize afterward.

what's new

downloads now tag + path like reorganize does (#915)

the headline fix. when you add or redownload music, post-processing used to backfill missing album data from spotify only — so an iTunes/deezer-primary user kept a "lean" context and the path dropped the $year while the release date defaulted to YYYY-01-01. you'd then run a reorganize to fix it every time. now post-processing (and redownload) pull the full album from your primary metadata source — the exact same place reorganize/enrich read — so the year, real release date, and album type are right the first time. covers the add/download flow and single-track redownload (iTunes + deezer).

listening-driven recommendations — foundation (#913)

the start of "discover based on what you actually listen to." during the watchlist scan, soulsync now ranks artists you'd love but don't own — seeded from your top-played artists, scored by consensus (who's similar to many of your favorites), play weight, and similarity strength — and builds a candidate track list from them. generated and stored now; the discover row + synced playlist come next.

jellyfin stops indexing half-written tracks

multi-disc tracks landing with "no disc" in jellyfin turned out to be a write race: a cross-filesystem move (downloads volume → library volume) wrote the file to its final path incrementally, and jellyfin's real-time watcher could catch it mid-write and cache incomplete metadata. now the final placement is atomic — copy to a hidden temp sibling, then an atomic rename — so a watcher only ever sees the complete file.

fixes

  • navidrome playlists doubling (#905) — every resync re-added the whole playlist (a 4-song list grew to 12). reconcile read the server's current tracks via a missing attribute, so it always thought the playlist was empty. fixed; also pushes a deduped list.
  • youtube playlists capped at ~100 (#908) — a yt-dlp/youtube regression truncated big playlists (Liked Music came back as 104). worked around to page past it (~200) until the upstream fix lands.
  • album redownload grabbed the wrong edition (#911) — it did a fresh search instead of using the album's matched source id, so a 66-track OST could redownload as a 19-track single. now uses the canonical matched source.
  • iTunes albums over 50 tracks truncated (#918) — the iTunes lookup defaulted to 50 entities; now requests the full album.
  • enhanced view showed multi-disc tracks as missing (#916) — owned disc-2+ tracks (stored as disc 1) no longer flag as "missing"; matched by title like reorganize.
  • reorganize vs "(feat. X)" (#914) — a bare local title now matches an iTunes track titled "Song (feat. Artist)" instead of reporting it not-in-tracklist.
  • "I have this" dropped the year (#917) — it rebuilt a yearless path and copied into a new folder; now reuses the album's existing folder.
  • full refresh imported 0 tracks (#910) — every track insert failed on a missing year column; added it + a migration so older DBs self-heal.
  • youtube discovery "Unknown Artist" (#909) — when youtube hands back only a title, the matched artist now backfills the column instead of leaving "Unknown Artist".
  • empty folder cleaner toggle did nothing (#912) — the "also remove image/sidecar-only folders" option read the wrong config key; now honored.

a brief recap of what came before

2.7.6 went the other way with playlists — exporting them TO listenbrainz — plus youtube liked-music sync, a deep-scan data-loss guard (#904), and dashboard performance work. 2.7.5 was matching & artwork accuracy + M3U import; 2.7.4 re-identify; 2.7.3 the Quality Upgrade Finder; 2.7.2 playlist-folder mirroring; 2.7.1 download verification; 2.7.0 made multi-user real.

tests

additive + fail-safe — new behavior is guarded or scoped, nothing existing rewired. new seam/regression suites across the year-column migration (#910), the navidrome reconcile fix (#905 — reverting the one-char change flips the tests red), feat-matching (#914), the multi-disc not-missing logic (#916), the iTunes full-album limit (#918, proven live against the real API), the "I have this" year recovery (#917), the primary-source backfill (#915), the listening-recs core (#913), and atomic file placement. relevant suites green; ruff check clean repo-wide.

post-merge

  • tag v2.7.7 on main
