Delay torrent and usenet album-bundle dispatch until missing-track analysis confirms there is work to do, matching the Soulseek album flow and avoiding release downloads for already-owned albums.
Clear private album-bundle staging state when a release-level source intentionally falls back to per-track mode so workers can use the normal staging/search path instead of an empty private bundle directory.
Verified by user: focused downloads master tests passed, 2 passed.
Stop appending persistent download history once the unified downloads payload reaches the requested limit. This keeps the Downloads tab history tail bounded even if the history provider returns more rows than requested, while preserving existing live-task total behavior.
Keep album-bundle staging from replacing known per-track album numbers with the filename parser's default when staged files do not expose a real track number. Carry staging tag numbers through the cache, fall back to task metadata for private release staging, and cap hybrid album batches to one worker when Soulseek is first in the source order.
- pass release metadata through album search normalization
- surface release format, country, label, and disambiguation in React import cards
- add coverage for search normalization and import route rendering
Include a capped recent tail of database-backed download history in the unified Downloads page so completed Deezer and other streaming downloads remain visible after runtime tasks are cleaned up or the container restarts. Use persistent download history for the dashboard finished count, keep live tasks authoritative for active rows, avoid showing the local clear-completed action for persisted history rows, and cover history hydration/deduping/capping in status tests.
Expand matched MusicBrainz release groups into concrete releases for specific album searches so import users can choose the correct edition by track count, format, country, and disambiguation. Preserve distinct MusicBrainz release IDs instead of deduping same-title variants, carry release metadata through import matching, and surface those details on album result cards. Add coverage for variant preservation and release-group expansion.
Fix manual YouTube searches for video IDs that begin with a dash by escaping leading '-' before building yt-dlp ytsearch expressions. This preserves normal search terms and already escaped user input while preventing yt-dlp from treating the ID as search syntax.
Add regression coverage for both YouTube download search and video search paths. Fixes#684.
Remove the implicit 500-track cap from Qobuz Favorite Tracks so the Sync page discovers the same number of tracks shown on the playlist card. Keep an explicit limit parameter for callers that want a capped fetch.
Add tests covering the default full-pagination behavior and explicit limit handling.
Qobuz joins Tidal and Deezer as a first-class playlist sync source.
New Qobuz tab on the Sync page lists user playlists + a virtual
Favorite Tracks entry, and clicks route through the same discovery →
sync → download pipeline the other services already use.
Backend:
* core/qobuz_client.py — new get_user_playlists, get_playlist,
get_user_favorite_tracks, get_user_favorite_tracks_count. Returns
normalized dicts (matches Deezer client shape, not Tidal's
dataclasses) so the discovery worker can iterate directly without
duck-typing. Virtual `qobuz-favorites` ID dispatches to favorites
fetcher inside get_playlist — same trick Tidal uses with
COLLECTION_PLAYLIST_ID. Both list endpoints paginate against
Qobuz's 500-cap limit.
* core/discovery/qobuz.py — new worker module. Mirrors
core/discovery/deezer.py: pause enrichment, iterate tracks,
hit discovery cache, fall back to _search_spotify_for_tidal_track,
build wing-it stub on miss, sync results to mirrored playlist.
* web_server.py — adds /api/qobuz/playlists, /playlist/<id>,
/discovery/start/<id>, /discovery/status/<id>, /discovery/update_match,
/playlists/states, /state/<id>, /reset/<id>, /delete/<id>,
/update_phase/<id>, /sync/start/<id>, /sync/status/<id>,
/sync/cancel/<id>. One-for-one with the Tidal + Deezer endpoint
sets. Qobuz discovery executor registered for clean shutdown.
Frontend:
* webui/static/sync-services.js — full handler set (loadQobuzPlaylists,
createQobuzCard, openQobuzDiscoveryModal, startQobuzDiscoveryPolling,
startQobuzPlaylistSync, startQobuzSyncPolling, cancelQobuzSync,
startQobuzDownloadMissing, rehydrateQobuzDownloadModal, etc.).
Reuses the shared YouTube discovery modal via fake `qobuz_<id>`
urlHash and is_qobuz_playlist flag. Shared switch statements in
getModalActionButtons / generateTableRowsFromState / Wing It helpers
in downloads.js gain new isQobuz branches alongside the existing
per-service ones.
* webui/index.html — new Qobuz tab button + content div, slotted
between Deezer and Deezer Link.
* webui/static/style.css — new .qobuz-icon for the tab icon.
* webui/static/core.js — qobuzPlaylists / qobuzPlaylistStates /
qobuzPlaylistsLoaded globals.
Followed the existing per-service pattern verbatim rather than
refactoring the duplicated transformers across Tidal / Deezer /
Spotify-public / YouTube / Mirrored — that refactor is its own follow-up
PR per the "don't break Tidal/Deezer" scope discipline. Adding the 6th
copy of a proven pattern is lower risk than collapsing 5 working
services behind a new abstraction.
Tests:
* tests/test_qobuz_playlists.py — 12 tests covering pagination,
normalization, favorites virtual-ID routing, artist-name fallback
chain (performer → album.artist → 'Unknown Artist'), and
unauthenticated short-circuits.
Import album search silently fell through to the next source in
METADATA_SOURCE_PRIORITY when the configured primary returned zero
matches — intentional behavior shared with the auto-import worker
(see core/auto_import_worker.py:1316). With MusicBrainz selected and
a query MB couldn't resolve, users saw Deezer cards with no indication
their primary was bypassed.
Backend now echoes `primary_source` on /api/import/search/albums,
/api/import/search/tracks, and /api/import/staging/suggestions.
Frontend renders a per-card 'via {source}' badge when the served
source differs from the primary, plus a banner above the grid when
every card came from a fallback source. Fallback semantics unchanged.
Also collapses an inline duplicate of _renderSuggestionCard inside
importPageSearchAlbum into a single shared renderer.
Regression test pins the contract: response carries primary_source +
per-album source when the chain falls back.
Route primary Soulseek album downloads through the album-bundle staging flow, reusing preflight-selected folders when available. In hybrid mode, only the first configured source can claim whole-album bundle behavior so later Soulseek fallback keeps the existing per-track/source-reuse path.
Allow Soulseek album bundles to stage completed tracks when some same-source transfers fail or time out, and keep partial bundles from blocking per-track fallback. Add coverage for dispatcher gating, master flow ordering, task-worker staged-miss behavior, and Soulseek bundle polling.
Teach the orphan file detector to match tracked files by both track artist and album artist. This prevents Picard-style albumartist/album (year)/track layouts from being reported as orphans when the DB track artist differs from the album artist.
Also check file albumartist tags during fallback matching and add a regression test for the reported Picard folder layout.
Refresh registry-backed download plugins when settings are saved so cached Prowlarr clients pick up new indexer credentials immediately. This preserves active download state by reloading existing plugin instances instead of rebuilding the registry.
Add regression coverage for orchestrator reload fanout and the Usenet plugin's cached ProwlarrClient refresh path.
Add a debug log in the exception handler that occurs while inferring legacy HiFi track manifest extensions. Previously exceptions were silently ignored; this change records the error message via logger.debug to aid debugging without changing behavior.
Add fallback support for public hifi-api instances that expose playback through /track/ instead of /trackManifests/. The capability checker now accepts either manifest shape, and downloads can use direct URLs decoded from the legacy base64 manifest.
Tests cover legacy instance capability detection and download-manifest fallback while preserving the newer trackManifests path.
Probe public HiFi instances with the same trackManifests endpoint used by real downloads instead of the legacy /track endpoint. This prevents compatible instances from being falsely labeled search-only in Settings.
Centralize HiFi instance capability checks in HiFiClient and reuse manifest URI parsing with the download path.
Tests cover manifest-based capability detection, no legacy /track probe, and limited instances without a manifest URI.
Keep full refresh moving when post-clear VACUUM hits a transient disk I/O error, and retry clear_server_data once when the clear step itself sees the same transient SQLite failure.
Retry metadata cache maintenance writes once on transient disk I/O errors so first-attempt cache jobs do not fail when an immediate retry would succeed.
Tests cover best-effort VACUUM, clear retry behavior, and cache maintenance retry behavior.
Ensure upgraded databases have the tracks.file_size and albums.api_track_count columns after all legacy migrations run. Add defensive repair paths for Jellyfin track imports and album track-count caching so stale schemas self-heal instead of dropping full-refresh track imports.
Tests cover legacy schema repair and api_track_count self-repair.
Reported bug: filling Jamiroquai's "Light Years" single pulled in
Gut's "Light Years" album tracks (different artist, completely
different genre — track titles like "Wound Fuck" and "Eat My Cum"
made the contamination obvious). The Album Completeness auto-fill
was the only file-copying path with a loose 0.50 SequenceMatcher
artist gate, which let unrelated candidates through whenever the
title matched well.
Two-stage defense now sits on the only album-fill code path
(_fix_incomplete_album in core/repair_worker.py):
- Stage 1 — _album_fill_target_artist_allows_track. Pre-search
gate: before doing any library lookup for a missing track,
refuse to operate if the missing track's source artist(s)
don't match the target album's artist. Compilation albums
(album_artist in {'various artists', 'various', 'soundtrack'})
bypass the gate so legitimate VA releases still work. Empty
source-artist metadata also bypasses for backward compat with
older missing-track records that don't carry per-track artist.
- Stage 2 — _album_fill_artist_names_match. Replaces the old
0.50 SequenceMatcher with an alias-aware 0.82 threshold that
uses core.matching.artist_aliases when available (handles
diacritic variants like Beyoncé/Beyonce and known stage names)
with a normalized-similarity fallback if the aliases module
isn't importable. Skipped candidates are logged at debug so a
later support ticket can show what was rejected and why.
Tests in tests/test_repair_worker_album_fill.py reproduce the
exact reported scenario: target album "Light Years" by Gut +
missing track from a Jamiroquai source → skipped with a logged
warning, no copy attempted, wishlist not poisoned. Second test
covers Stage 2 directly with a wrong-artist library candidate.
Existing test_perform_album_fill_copy_branch still passes.
Note: this fix prevents NEW cross-artist contamination via
Album Completeness. It does not clean up the data anomaly that
made Gut's library entry appear to have a "Light Years" album
in the first place — that's a separate data-quality issue worth
investigating if it recurs.
Adds torrent/usenet as release-oriented download sources with album-bundle staging, live progress reporting, and post-processing that selects the requested audio file from completed releases instead of blindly importing the first file.
Keeps album-bundle behavior gated to single-source torrent/usenet album downloads, excludes release sources from hybrid album per-track searches, and allows hybrid non-album tracks to use release results safely.
Improves staged-release matching for featured/bonus track filenames while preserving version mismatches, records torrent/usenet provenance in library history, and updates service/status UI labels.
Covers the flow with focused lifecycle, status, staging, validation, task worker, post-processing, and import side-effect tests.
Route torrent and Usenet album bundles through private per-batch staging so Auto-Import cannot race public staging or duplicate imports.
Expose album-bundle progress in batch status and render it on the Downloads page while the external client is still downloading.
Tighten release handoff safety by rejecting archive path traversal, ignoring torrent candidates without a usable URL, and skipping Soulseek source reuse for torrent/Usenet batches.
Tests: .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/downloads/test_downloads_status.py tests/test_album_bundle_dispatch.py tests/downloads/test_downloads_staging.py tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py
Wraps up the code-review refactor pass.
- config/settings.py: ``download_source`` defaults gain
``album_bundle_poll_interval_seconds`` (default 2s) and
``album_bundle_timeout_seconds`` (default 6h, was a hard-coded
``6 * 60 * 60`` magic constant in torrent.py). The plugin reads
these via ``album_bundle.get_poll_interval`` /
``get_poll_timeout`` with safe fallback to the defaults when the
config value is missing / non-numeric. ``mode`` doc-comment
extended to list ``torrent`` and ``usenet``.
- core/downloads/validation.py: comment block above the album-name
fallback rewritten to document when the fallback actually runs
now — single-track hybrid downloads only, because the album-
bundle gate handles single-source mode and the hybrid chain
filter strips torrent / usenet from album batches. Code path
unchanged; just clarifies the contract for the next reader.
- webui/static/helper.js: WHATS_NEW entry summarising the refactor
pass (helper extraction, dispatch lift, staging deps injection,
atomic copy, configurable timeout, test additions).
The /loop of: extract → inject → test was sweep enough to drop the
gate code's coupling to 2-3 modules and put 49 unit tests behind
the new boundaries. Code-review feedback addressed:
1. album_bundle.py extracted ✓
2. Dispatch lifted out of master.py ✓
3. staging.py decoupled from runtime_state ✓
4. Validation fallback scope documented ✓
5. Poll timeout config-driven ✓
6. ``amazon`` provenance owned in a prior commit ✓
7. End-to-end-shaped tests added (test_album_bundle_dispatch.py)
8. Auto-Import race closed via atomic copy ✓
Per code review: the album-bundle provenance override added in an
earlier commit reached into ``core.runtime_state.download_batches``
directly from inside the staging matcher. Sibling modules
shouldn't import each other's globals — the existing StagingDeps
pattern is the canonical way to inject everything else this helper
needs.
- core/downloads/staging.py: new optional ``get_batch_field``
callable on ``StagingDeps`` (defaults to None for backward compat
with any caller that doesn't know about it yet). The inline
``from core.runtime_state import download_batches`` is gone; the
helper now calls ``deps.get_batch_field(batch_id,
'album_bundle_source')`` and falls back to 'staging' when None
is returned. Accessor exceptions are swallowed with a debug log
so a deleted batch mid-process can't break the staging match.
- web_server.py: ``_build_staging_deps`` injects a small
``_staging_get_batch_field`` helper that wraps the tasks_lock +
download_batches dict access. Centralises the lock semantics in
one place — the staging module no longer needs to know about
the lock or the dict.
- tests/test_staging_album_provenance.py: 5 new tests covering the
full matrix — torrent override applied, usenet override applied,
no override falls back to 'staging', missing accessor (default
None) falls back to 'staging', accessor raising falls back to
'staging'. Each test seeds + cleans a synthetic task in
runtime_state so the test doesn't bleed state across the suite.
Per code review: ~90 lines of inline gate logic in
``run_full_missing_tracks_process`` was inflating an already-580-
line worker function and was non-testable in isolation. Lifted to
``core/downloads/album_bundle_dispatch.py`` with two entry points:
- ``is_eligible(mode, is_album, album_name, artist_name)`` — pure
predicate, no side effects, easy to assert against. Splits the
gate decision from the resolution + run step so tests can pin
the gate semantics without standing up a plugin.
- ``try_dispatch(...)`` — full flow. Returns True iff the master
worker should stop (gate fired + failed); False = engaged-and-
succeeded OR didn't engage, both fall through to per-track.
State access is now decoupled from ``runtime_state``:
- New ``BatchStateAccess`` Protocol with two methods
(``update_fields``, ``mark_failed``).
- Concrete impl ``_BatchStateAccessImpl`` lives in master.py and
wraps the tasks_lock + dict ops the original inline code did.
- Injected via parameter so the dispatch module never imports
``download_batches`` / ``tasks_lock`` directly.
Same goes for the plugin resolver and config getter — both
injected, so the dispatcher works against any orchestrator /
config implementation (including the in-test fakes).
Behavior unchanged. The master worker call site is now 11 lines
of boilerplate instead of 90 lines of inline conditional. Plugin
contract (``download_album_to_staging`` return dict shape)
unchanged.
- core/downloads/album_bundle_dispatch.py: new module owning the
gate + execution. ~150 lines including docstrings and the
Protocol definition.
- core/downloads/master.py: gate call site shrunk to a single
``if _album_bundle_dispatch.try_dispatch(...): return``. New
``_BatchStateAccessImpl`` class implements the Protocol against
the existing ``download_batches`` dict + ``tasks_lock`` so the
dispatcher gets injected access instead of importing them.
- tests/test_album_bundle_dispatch.py: 16 new tests covering the
pure predicate (album-required, mode allowlist, name validation,
case insensitivity), the resolver-failure fall-through
(plugin missing, plugin lacks method, resolver raises), the
success path returning False so per-track flows, the failure
path returning True with state.mark_failed called, plugin-raise
treated as a normal failure, whitespace stripping on names,
and progress-callback mirroring lifecycle events into batch
state.
Per code review: the album-bundle helpers (release picker + staging
collision suffix) were defined as private symbols in torrent.py and
imported by usenet.py through ``from core.download_plugins.torrent
import _pick_best_album_release, _unique_staging_path``. Sibling
plugins shouldn't reach into each other's private surface — leaky
module boundary, and the underscore prefix says don't import.
Also addressed two latent issues at the same time:
- The Auto-Import sweep race: my plugin copied audio files into
staging via plain ``shutil.copy2``, which exposes a partial file
at the audio extension for the duration of the copy. The Auto-
Import worker filters by audio extension when scanning Staging
(AUDIO_EXTENSIONS in core/auto_import_worker.py), so a mid-flight
scan could pick up a truncated file. Fix: copy to a
``.tmp.<random>`` sidecar first, then atomically rename via
``Path.replace`` (which is ``os.replace`` — atomic on the same
filesystem). Auto-Import sees the file either at its final name
or not at all.
- The 6-hour poll timeout was a hard-coded magic constant. Users
with slow private trackers or large box sets would silently time
out after 6h. Both the timeout and the poll interval are now
read from config (``download_source.album_bundle_timeout_seconds``
/ ``..._poll_interval_seconds``) with safe fallback to the
existing defaults when unset / non-numeric.
- core/download_plugins/album_bundle.py: new module owns the
shared surface — ``pick_best_album_release`` (with quality_guess
passed in as a parameter to avoid the circular import that would
result from this module trying to know about torrent.py's title
parser), ``unique_staging_path``, ``atomic_copy_to_staging``,
``copy_audio_files_atomically``, ``get_poll_interval``,
``get_poll_timeout``. Module-level size constants and quality
weights live here too. Usenet's grabs-as-popularity-proxy is
built into the picker so both plugins get the right behavior
without divergent local logic.
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: drops the local helpers + the
hard-coded poll constants, imports from album_bundle. Per-track
download flow still uses module-level ``_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS``
/ ``_POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS`` aliases (read from config once at
import time, same as before from a per-track perspective).
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: drops the imports of the
torrent.py private helpers; everything goes through album_bundle
now. Stops the cross-plugin private-import leak that started
this whole refactor.
- tests/test_album_bundle.py: 23 new tests covering the picker
heuristic (empty input, singleton drop, FLAC preference, grabs
fallback for usenet, size-floor / ceiling boundaries), the
collision-suffix logic, the atomic-copy invariant (concurrent
scanner thread asserts it never observes a partial audio file
during five sequential copies), the failure-skip behavior of the
batch copier, and the config-driven poll cadence including
garbage-input fallback.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: existing picker tests
updated to call the new module-level helpers instead of the
former torrent.py privates.
When a user picks Hybrid mode AND downloads an album, the per-track
search loop fires once per track. Torrent / usenet are release-level
sources — Prowlarr returns album torrents, none of which score
meaningfully against an individual track title. Without filtering,
every track triggered a redundant Prowlarr search, qBit rejected
duplicate hashes after the first, and the run only worked at all
because Auto-Import swept Staging behind the scenes. Confusing
logs, wasted searches, brittle timing.
Fix: thread an optional ``exclude_sources`` parameter through
``DownloadOrchestrator.search``. When the per-track worker detects
that the active batch is an album AND mode is hybrid, it passes
``['torrent', 'usenet']`` so the hybrid chain skips them and falls
through to per-track-compatible sources (Soulseek / streaming).
Gate is narrow on purpose:
- Hybrid + album → skip torrent / usenet (THIS fix)
- Single-source torrent / usenet + album → album-bundle flow on
the master worker (already shipped)
- Hybrid + single-track batch (basic search / wishlist / playlist
of singles) → torrent / usenet still tried, validation.py's
album-name fallback gives them a shot
Excluded list logged at INFO when applied so the behavior is
visible in logs ("Hybrid search: excluding ['torrent', 'usenet']
for this query"). Default ``exclude_sources=None`` keeps every
non-task-worker caller (basic search, stream search, search-and-
download-best, automation handlers) on the original code path.
The download history modal was tagging every torrent / usenet
album-bundle download as 'Soulseek FLAC 24bit' because:
- core/imports/side_effects.py's source_service dict didn't have
entries for 'staging', 'torrent', or 'usenet' usernames. The
staging matcher in core/downloads/staging.py sets
download_tasks[task_id]['username'] = 'staging', which fell
through to the dict's default and got recorded as 'soulseek'
in the track download provenance row. Same fate for any
amazon or other source that wasn't whitelisted.
- The album-bundle flow specifically wants to be labeled as
'torrent' or 'usenet' (where the bytes actually came from),
not 'staging' (the intermediate). The plugin already stashes
the source on the batch state as ``album_bundle_source`` for
the Downloads-page status card; provenance recording can
read the same field.
Fixes:
- core/downloads/staging.py: when marking a task post_processing
after a staging match, check the batch's album_bundle_source
override and use that for username instead of 'staging' when
set. Falls back to 'staging' when no override exists
(manual file-drop case).
- core/imports/side_effects.py: source_service map gets entries
for 'staging', 'torrent', 'usenet', and the previously-missing
'amazon' (which was also falling through to 'soulseek').
- webui/static/library.js: the redownload modal's serviceLabels
/ serviceIcons dicts extended to cover lidarr, amazon,
soundcloud, auto_import, staging, torrent, usenet so badges
render the correct name instead of either the raw source_service
string or no badge at all.
- webui/static/wishlist-tools.js: history-source-chip color
palette extended for the new source labels (Torrent sky-blue,
Usenet violet, Staging / Auto-Import neutral grey).
Note: existing tracks in the DB still carry the wrong 'soulseek'
label — only NEW downloads after this fix get the right label.
A future migration could rewrite historical rows but it's
cosmetic and the underlying audio + metadata are correct.
Fixes the core architectural mismatch between indexer-based sources
and the per-track search-and-pick contract every other download
plugin satisfies. Prowlarr returns release-level torrents and NZBs;
searching for "Luther (with SZA)" against the GNX album torrent
scores near-zero on track-title similarity. Per-track candidate
validation rejects every result, every track in the batch flips
to not_found. The album-name fallback added in an earlier commit
papers over it for some cases but doesn't fix the fundamental
behavior: the user wanted the whole album.
New album-bundle flow does what the user actually wanted:
1. Gate fires inside core/downloads/master.py BEFORE the per-track
analysis loop, strictly when the batch has an album context AND
download_source.mode is 'torrent' or 'usenet' (single-source —
hybrid stays per-track to preserve fallback to Soulseek / etc.).
2. Plugin's new download_album_to_staging method searches Prowlarr
ONCE for the album as a whole ('<artist> <album>'), filters to
the right protocol, runs results through _pick_best_album_release.
3. Picker prefers seeded FLAC over low-seeded MP3, drops single-
track torrents that snuck in via the 40 MB size floor (single
tracks are typically ~10 MB), falls back to most-seeded when
every candidate is below the floor.
4. Picked release goes to the active adapter (qBit / Transmission /
Deluge for torrent; SAB / NZBGet for usenet). Polls until
complete with progress mirrored into the batch state so the
Downloads page can show meaningful status.
5. On completion the existing archive_pipeline walks the save dir
(extracting archives if any), every audio file gets copied into
the staging folder via _unique_staging_path so concurrent batches
don't collide.
6. Gate exits, master worker continues into the normal per-track
flow. Each track task hits try_staging_match early in the worker
and finds its file by fuzzy title match — no Prowlarr search
ever fires per-track, no candidate rejection, files flow through
the existing post-processing pipeline (tags, AcoustID, library
import).
Gate is strictly opt-in. Three orthogonal conditions must all hold:
batch_is_album, mode in ('torrent', 'usenet'), and the plugin must
expose download_album_to_staging. Any other source / hybrid mode /
non-album batch flows through the master worker unchanged. The
existing per-track torrent path still works for basic-search
single-track grabs.
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: download_album_to_staging plus
_pick_best_album_release and _unique_staging_path helpers (shared
with the usenet plugin). _poll_album_download mirrors the existing
poll loop with progress callback emission.
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: parallel implementation reusing
the picker + staging helpers. Different state set ('failed' vs
'error') from the usenet adapter contract.
- core/downloads/master.py: ~90-line gate right after batch context
loading. Mirrors plugin lifecycle into batch state under
``album_bundle_*`` keys so the Downloads page can render progress
while the torrent/usenet job runs (per-track tasks don't exist
yet during this phase). Failed bundle download fails the batch
with a meaningful error; missing plugin / context falls back to
the per-track flow with a warning.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: 5 new tests pinning the
album picker preferences (FLAC over MP3 with comparable size +
better seeders, size floor drops singles, fallback when all
small), staging-path collision suffix, and the not-configured
short-circuit.
Live-test bug: Spotify-flow downloads with Torrent Only as the
active source produced 'download_failed' for every track. Searches
hit Prowlarr fine but no candidate ever got picked. Root cause was
in core/downloads/validation.py's get_valid_candidates:
- The streaming-source allowlist for the structured-metadata path
didn't include 'torrent' / 'usenet', so torrent results fell into
the Soulseek matching branch.
- Soulseek matching parses ``candidate.filename`` as a slskd-style
``Artist/Album/Track.flac`` path. Torrent / usenet filenames are
encoded as ``<download_url>||<display_name>`` so the orchestrator
can recover the URL — splitting that string on slashes produced
garbage path segments that never matched the expected artist,
every candidate failed the artist-folder gate, returned [], track
status flipped to 'not_found'.
Fixes:
- _streaming_sources now includes 'torrent' and 'usenet'. They take
the structured-metadata scoring path that reads r.title / r.artist
directly (the projection layer pre-fills both correctly).
- Artist gate skipped for torrent/usenet, same as YouTube. Album-
level releases legitimately don't expose per-track artist — the
projection falls back to the indexer name as the 'artist' field,
which would otherwise fail the gate against every Spotify artist.
- New album-name fallback scoring: for torrent/usenet only, the
candidate title is ALSO scored against the wanted track's
spotify_track.album field, and the max of (track-title score,
album-title score) wins. This makes a candidate titled
"GNX (2024) [FLAC]" match every track on the GNX album rather
than scoring near zero against a specific track title like
"Luther (with SZA)". match_type 'album_release' for visibility.
All 9 existing validation tests still pass.
Live testing surfaced: every download attempt failed with
'Torrent client refused the URL', but qBit was actually accepting
the add request fine. The bug was in our hash-lookup strategy.
qBittorrent's /api/v2/torrents/add returns 200 'Ok.' regardless
of whether the URL was actually valid / accepted / registered.
The previous code then queried /torrents/info?category=soulsync
to find the just-added torrent — but qBit hadn't categorised
the new torrent yet on the first poll, AND a fresh install has
no 'soulsync' category configured, so the lookup returned empty
and the adapter reported failure for every working download.
New strategy:
- Snapshot every torrent hash qBit currently tracks BEFORE
posting to /add.
- POST /add, accept its (uninformative) 200 OK.
- Poll the all-torrents list for up to 5 seconds, looking for a
hash that wasn't present in the before-snapshot. First new
hash wins.
The diff strategy works the same for /add with urls= (HTTP URL /
magnet) and /add with files= (raw .torrent upload), so both
paths now share the same _all_hashes + _poll_for_new_hash
helpers. Adds a warning log when qBit returns an unexpected
body and an error log when no new hash appears (so future
investigation has breadcrumbs).
Real-world test surfaced the bug — torrent results displayed
'by download?apikey=c15d6f69...&link=...' as the uploader / artist
in the basic search UI. The cause is TrackResult.__post_init__:
when artist is None it runs parse_filename_metadata on the bare
filename, and our filename starts with the indexer's download URL
(needed so download() can recover the URL later). The auto-parser
treats the URL as 'artist' and ships it to the UI.
Fix:
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: new _parse_release_title()
splits 'Artist - Title' / 'Artist - Album' out of the release
title and strips trailing [FLAC] / (2016) tags. Falls back to
('', cleaned_title) when no dash is found, and explicitly
rejects URL-looking strings as an extra defence. The projection
pre-fills both artist and title on TrackResult, so __post_init__
skips the auto-parse entirely. When the release title has no
dash, artist defaults to the indexer name so the UI shows
'by Indexer' instead of a URL.
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: imports the new helper and
applies the same fix.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: 5 tests for the new
helper (dash split, trailing-tag stripping, no-dash fallback,
multiple-dash preservation, URL-prefix rejection). Existing
projection tests updated to assert artist + title come through
parsed correctly, plus a new test pinning the indexer-name
fallback for titles without a dash so the URL-leak regression
can't return.
The payoff for the previous five commits. Two new download
sources slot into the existing DownloadSourcePlugin contract,
backed by Prowlarr (search) + the torrent or usenet client
adapter (transfer) + archive_pipeline (post-extract walk). They
appear in the Download Source dropdown next to Soulseek / Tidal /
Lidarr / etc. and also participate in hybrid mode.
Pipeline (both plugins, mirror shape):
1. search(query) → ProwlarrClient.search filtered to the right
protocol, projected into TrackResult / AlbumResult shapes the
existing search UI already speaks. Filename field encodes the
indexer's download URL (or magnet URI for torrents) so
download() can recover it later.
2. download() → decodes URL, hands it to the active adapter
(qBittorrent / Transmission / Deluge for torrent; SABnzbd /
NZBGet for usenet), spawns a background poll thread that
tracks progress + reports the adapter-reported save_path.
3. On 'seeding' / 'completed' → archive_pipeline walks the save
directory, extracts any archives the downloader didn't
already unpack, picks the first audio file as the canonical
file_path. Matches the Lidarr client's single-track-pick
contract — picking which specific track to import happens in
post-processing.
- core/download_plugins/torrent.py: TorrentDownloadPlugin +
module-level helpers (_decode_filename, _guess_quality_from_title,
_parse_indexer_id_filter, _adapter_state_to_display, _row_to_status).
Uses get_active_torrent_adapter() so a settings change to the
client type takes effect without restart.
- core/download_plugins/usenet.py: UsenetDownloadPlugin —
parallel shape, reuses the torrent module's helpers. Different
enough states (no seeding, no magnet) to warrant its own class
but cheap to keep in lockstep.
- core/download_plugins/registry.py: register 'torrent' and
'usenet' plugins. Per the registry docstring this is the only
wiring point needed — the orchestrator picks them up
automatically via the iteration helpers.
- webui/index.html: 'Torrent Only (via Prowlarr)' + 'Usenet Only
(via Prowlarr)' added to the Download Source dropdown. New
redirect card (#prowlarr-source-redirect) explains that the
actual config lives on the Indexers & Downloaders tab —
shown whenever torrent or usenet is in the active source set.
- webui/static/settings.js: HYBRID_SOURCES gets two new entries
so hybrid mode can pick them up. updateDownloadSourceUI now
toggles the redirect card based on active sources.
- tests/test_torrent_usenet_plugins.py: 23 tests covering pure
helpers (filename encode/decode round-trip incl. magnet URIs,
quality guesser, state mapping), search projection logic
(protocol filter, drops without URLs, magnet-preferred-over-URL,
filename encoding, neutralised soulseek-specific score fields),
is_configured (both prowlarr + adapter required), finalize
(picks first audio file, errors on empty dir / missing save_path),
clear/get_all lifecycle, DownloadSourcePlugin protocol
conformance, and registry membership.
Shared helper the upcoming torrent and usenet download plugins
both compose against. Narrow surface — no matching, no tagging,
no library import. Just walks audio files and extracts archives
when needed.
Why a separate module: usenet downloaders (SABnzbd, NZBGet)
already auto-extract by default, and Lidarr's import pipeline
extracts before SoulSync sees the files. The only client that
sometimes leaves an archive behind is a torrent client when the
album was packed as a .rar — most music torrents ship loose but
not all. Centralising the walk + extract logic means both new
plugins can do the same thing, and a future direct-archive source
(zip download from a private site, etc.) plugs in for free.
- core/archive_pipeline.py:
- AUDIO_EXTENSIONS / ARCHIVE_EXTENSIONS constants (audio set
matches core/imports/file_ops.py quality_tiers).
- is_archive(path) handles compound extensions (.tar.gz etc).
- walk_audio_files(directory) — recursive, case-insensitive.
- find_archives_in_dir(directory) — top-level only (don't
surprise-extract sample / proof folders inside a torrent).
- extract_archive(archive_path, extract_to=None) — handles
.zip, .tar variants, .rar (optional rarfile dep), .7z
(optional py7zr dep). Optional deps warn-and-skip if absent.
- extract_all_in_dir + collect_audio_after_extraction — the
one-shot helpers the download plugins call after a download
completes.
- Path-traversal protection: every archive member's resolved
path must stay inside the destination — first violator aborts
the extract without writing anything. Applies to zip, tar,
and rar.
- tests/test_archive_pipeline.py: 21 tests covering the walker
(nested dirs, case-insensitive, ignores non-audio), archive
detection (compound extensions, missing files), zip extraction
+ path-traversal rejection, tar.gz + tar path-traversal,
multi-archive directory, mixed-loose-and-archived collection.
- core/torrent_clients/transmission.py: rename unused loop var
`attempt` to `_attempt` in the session-id renegotiation loop
(B007 — loop var not used in body).
- core/image_cache.py: log the cleanup exception instead of
swallowing it silently (S110 — bare try/except/pass). debug
level since a failed tmp unlink is non-fatal; the outer
``raise`` still propagates the original error.
Full ruff sweep clean.
Third commit in the torrent + usenet rollout. SoulSync now also
speaks the two big usenet downloaders through a sibling adapter
contract that mirrors the torrent adapter set. All three layers are
now stood up — Prowlarr finds releases, the torrent adapter and the
usenet adapter each know how to ship work to the underlying client.
A later commit wires Prowlarr search results through the adapters
and through the archive-extract-match pipeline.
- core/usenet_clients/base.py: UsenetClientAdapter Protocol +
UsenetStatus dataclass. Uniform state set covers usenet-specific
phases (queued / downloading / extracting / verifying / repairing /
completed / failed / paused).
- core/usenet_clients/__init__.py: adapter_for_type factory +
get_active_adapter that reads usenet_client.type each call.
- core/usenet_clients/sabnzbd.py: REST adapter. ?apikey=... auth,
mode=addurl and mode=addfile (multipart) for add_nzb. Reads both
the active queue and the recent history so completed / failed
jobs surface in get_all. Parses SAB's HH:MM:SS ``timeleft`` into
seconds.
- core/usenet_clients/nzbget.py: JSON-RPC adapter. HTTP Basic auth,
``append`` method for add_nzb (auto-detects URL vs base64 NZB),
``editqueue`` with GroupPause/GroupResume/GroupDelete/GroupFinalDelete
for state changes. Reads NZBGet's 64-bit split size fields
(FileSizeHi + FileSizeLo) preferentially over the legacy
FileSizeMB aggregate.
- core/connection_test.py: 'usenet_client' branch picks the right
adapter, runs check_connection, surfaces per-client error
messages (different credentials needed).
- config/settings.py: usenet_client.{type, url, api_key, username,
password, category} defaults + both api_key and password marked
encrypted-at-rest.
- web_server.py: 'usenet_client' added to the /api/settings POST
allow-list.
- webui/index.html: new Usenet Client panel on the Indexers &
Downloaders tab. Type picker swaps the credential fields between
API-key (SABnzbd) and username+password (NZBGet).
- webui/static/settings.js: load/save wiring, updateUsenetClientUI
for the credential field swap, testUsenetClientConnection.
- webui/static/helper.js: WHATS_NEW + VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS entry.
Second commit in the torrent + usenet rollout. SoulSync now speaks
three different BitTorrent client APIs through one uniform adapter
contract — picks the active client by config and dispatches the same
verbs to whichever backend the user uses. Each adapter handles its
own auth quirk (qBit cookie + CSRF Referer, Transmission session-id
renegotiation, Deluge JSON-RPC session) and maps native state
strings onto a shared 7-value set so the rest of the app stays
client-agnostic.
- core/torrent_clients/base.py: TorrentClientAdapter Protocol +
TorrentStatus dataclass. Eight verbs: is_configured, check_connection,
add_torrent (URL/magnet), add_torrent_file (raw bytes), get_status,
get_all, remove, pause, resume.
- core/torrent_clients/__init__.py: adapter_for_type factory +
get_active_adapter that reads torrent_client.type each call so
settings changes take effect without restart.
- core/torrent_clients/qbittorrent.py: WebUI v2 adapter. Cookie auth
via /api/v2/auth/login, transparent 403 re-login, Referer header
to satisfy qBit's CSRF guard. add_torrent returns the just-added
hash via /torrents/info sort=added_on (qBit's add endpoint doesn't
echo the hash).
- core/torrent_clients/transmission.py: RPC adapter. Auto-resolves
bare host URLs to /transmission/rpc, handles the 409 + new
X-Transmission-Session-Id renegotiation transparently, accepts
HTTP basic auth. add_torrent_file base64-encodes payload per spec.
- core/torrent_clients/deluge.py: Deluge 2.x JSON-RPC adapter.
Password-only auth, distinguishes magnet vs HTTP URL at the RPC
method layer, applies category via Label plugin (best-effort —
label plugin is optional).
- core/connection_test.py: 'torrent_client' branch picks the right
adapter, runs check_connection, surfaces a per-client error
message.
- config/settings.py: torrent_client.{type, url, username, password,
category, save_path} defaults + torrent_client.password in the
encrypted-at-rest secrets list.
- web_server.py: 'torrent_client' added to the /api/settings POST
allow-list so saved config persists.
- webui/index.html: new Torrent Client panel on the Indexers &
Downloaders tab — client-type dropdown, URL, username, password,
category, optional save path, Test Connection.
- webui/static/settings.js: load/save wiring + testTorrentClientConnection.
- webui/static/helper.js: WHATS_NEW + VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS entry.
First commit toward torrent and usenet download sources. Prowlarr is
the indexer manager component of the *arr stack — it exposes Usenet
and torrent indexers behind a single Newznab-style API so SoulSync
doesn't have to integrate each indexer individually. This commit
wires up Prowlarr as a search-only source; the torrent and usenet
download client adapters land in the next commits and plug into
this search surface.
- core/prowlarr_client.py: sync-backed async client. is_configured,
check_connection, get_indexers, search by Newznab category. Music
category constants (3000 all / 3010 MP3 / 3040 lossless / etc.).
- core/connection_test.py: 'prowlarr' branch hits /api/v1/system/status
for the Test Connection button.
- web_server.py: GET /api/prowlarr/indexers returns the live indexer
list (id, name, protocol, enabled, privacy). Settings POST allow-list
now accepts 'prowlarr' so saved config persists.
- config/settings.py: prowlarr.{url, api_key, indexer_ids} defaults
plus prowlarr.api_key in the encrypted-at-rest secrets list.
- webui/index.html: new "Indexers & Downloaders" tab on Settings with
the Prowlarr panel (URL, API key, Test, Refresh Indexer List,
optional indexer-ID allowlist).
- webui/static/settings.js: load/save wiring, testProwlarrConnection,
loadProwlarrIndexers (HTML-escapes user-supplied indexer names).
- webui/static/helper.js: WHATS_NEW 2.6.0 unreleased block plus a
curated VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS entry.
Detect JSON decode-like exceptions from Tidal's token endpoint and return a safer, more actionable error message. Adds a _looks_like_json_decode_error helper and special-cases that error in check_device_auth to log the non-JSON response and advise disabling VPN/proxy/network filtering and restarting SoulSync. A test was added to ensure the user-facing message does not leak the raw exception text while still returning an error status. Other errors continue to fall back to the existing behavior.
Add duration tolerance logic and pre-download rejection for structured sources (tidal, qobuz, hifi, deezer_dl, amazon) when candidate duration deviates beyond allowed tolerance. Introduces helper functions _duration_tolerance_seconds and _duration_mismatch_exceeds_integrity_tolerance and uses resolve_duration_tolerance from core.imports.file_integrity. Log and skip candidates that would fail post-processing integrity checks to avoid wasted downloads. Update tests to include matching engine stub and new cases covering rejection and acceptance based on duration tolerance; also adjust imports and test fixtures.
Add a disk-backed image cache with hashed browser URLs, SQLite metadata, size/type validation, stale fallback, and per-image fetch locking. Route normalized artwork through /api/image-cache while keeping /api/image-proxy as a compatibility shim, and align browser max-age with the image cache TTL. Add focused tests for cache behavior and image URL normalization.
Do not mark a monitored transfer as successful as soon as slskd reports completion. The monitor now only submits the post-processing worker; that worker reports the real success or failure after finding, verifying, and importing the file. If post-processing cannot be scheduled, mark the task failed and release the batch slot. Add a regression test for the premature success path.
Diagnostic-only change for issue Technodude reported: Tidal sync-playlist
downloads getting mass-cancelled mid-flight with no clear cause in the
logs. App.log shows ~91 second gaps between Tidal download start and
cancel — matches the monitor's 90s queue-timeout exactly — but none of
the monitor's WARNING log lines fire, so the trigger is ambiguous
between five `_should_retry_task` paths, three web_server cancel paths,
and the API endpoints.
Added a single `[CancelTrigger:<label>]` INFO log line immediately
before every `download_orchestrator.cancel_download(...)` call so the
next log dump pins down which path is firing.
Labels (grep-able, prefix tells the file, suffix tells the trigger):
monitor.not_in_live_transfers_90s
monitor.errored_state_retry
monitor.queued_state_timeout
monitor.stuck_at_0pct_timeout
monitor.unknown_state_no_progress_timeout
candidates.worker_cancelled_during_download
web.orphan_cleanup
web.cancel_download_task
web.atomic_cancel_v2
api.manual_cancel_single
api.public_cancel
The monitor's `deferred_ops` tuple grew from 3 elements to 4 (added
trigger label as last element). The dispatch loop unpacks both legacy
and new shapes so the change is backward-compatible for any in-flight
ops mid-deploy.
Zero behavior change. 367 download tests still green. WHATS_NEW left
untouched — diagnostic only, not user-facing.
After ship: ask Technodude to re-run the same sync playlist scenario,
attach the new app.log, grep `[CancelTrigger:` lines for the trigger
context, then write the actual fix.
The "Fix Unknown Artists" repair job crashed on every run with:
ImportError: cannot import name '_build_path_from_template' from
'core.repair_jobs.library_reorganize'
Commit ca5c9316 ("Rewrite Library Reorganize job to delegate to per-
album planner") moved the private path-builder + quality-string
helpers out of `core.repair_jobs.library_reorganize` and into the
import pipeline. `unknown_artist_fixer.py:163` still imported them
from the old module — its scan() defers the imports to avoid pulling
web_server's Flask boot into the test harness, so the broken target
only surfaces at runtime when the user actually runs the job. The
tool was completely unrunnable.
Re-wired the deferred imports:
core.repair_jobs.library_reorganize._build_path_from_template
-> core.imports.paths.get_file_path_from_template_raw
core.repair_jobs.library_reorganize._get_audio_quality
-> core.imports.file_ops.get_audio_quality_string
Both replacements have identical signatures + return shapes (verified
by inspecting library_reorganize's pre-refactor implementations vs
the import-pipeline equivalents):
get_file_path_from_template_raw(template: str, context: dict)
-> tuple[folder: str, filename_base: str]
get_audio_quality_string(file_path: str) -> str
No call-site changes needed beyond the import target.
2 new regression tests in `tests/test_unknown_artist_fixer.py`:
test_deferred_path_imports_resolve — runs the same import
statements scan() runs, so the NEXT refactor that moves these
helpers fails CI rather than reaching the user.
test_deferred_path_helper_shape_matches_fixer_usage — pins the
`(folder, filename_base)` 2-tuple contract the fixer's unpack
relies on. Catches return-shape drift even when the import
target stays valid.
Audited every consumer of `core.repair_jobs.library_reorganize` —
only one stale import (this file). The test suite covers the only
production caller.
5 fixer tests pass (3 existing + 2 new regression guards).
When a file failed AcoustID verification and got quarantined, the next
auto-wishlist cycle would search for the same track, the deterministic
quality picker would re-select the same (uploader, filename) source,
re-download it, and re-quarantine it. Users woke up to hundreds of
duplicate .quarantined entries from a single bad upload — same source
URL repeatedly, byte-for-byte identical files.
Root cause: `SoulseekClient.filter_results_by_quality_preference` ranks
candidates by quality + bitrate density only. Quarantine history wasn't
consulted, so a high-bitrate FLAC upload with a wrong-track AcoustID
fingerprint kept winning the picker against every other candidate.
Fix shape:
- New helper `core/imports/quarantine.py::get_quarantined_source_keys`
reads every quarantine sidecar's `context.original_search_result`
and returns the set of `(username, filename)` tuples for O(1)
membership checks. Sidecars missing the context field (legacy thin
sidecars written pre-Feb 2026, or orphaned files) and corrupt JSON
are skipped silently — defensive against transient FS / encoding
issues.
- `SoulseekClient._drop_quarantined_sources` runs the membership
filter against incoming TrackResults, drops matches, logs a single
INFO line with the skip count. Called first inside
`filter_results_by_quality_preference` so all four callers
(search-and-download, master worker, validation, orchestrator)
benefit transparently.
- Approving or deleting a quarantine entry removes its sidecar, so
the dedup key disappears from the set on the next search — gives
the user a way to opt back in to a previously-quarantined source
without restarting the app.
7 helper tests cover: missing dir, empty dir, well-formed sidecars
collected as tuples, legacy sidecars skipped, empty source fields
skipped (so empty-string keys can't accidentally drop unrelated
results), corrupt JSON tolerated, duplicate quarantines collapse.
5 integration tests pin: clean candidates pass, known-bad candidates
drop, missing quarantine dir returns input unchanged, filesystem
errors swallowed (defensive), full `filter_results_by_quality_preference`
runs the dedup BEFORE the quality picker — so a high-quality
quarantined source can't win on bitrate.
692 existing download + import tests still green. Cosmetic surface
of the fix is invisible — same UX as today when no quarantine entries
exist; loop only kicks in once a sidecar has been written.
Out of scope: bulk-select / multi-delete UI for the quarantine tab —
S-Bryce mentioned this as a separate pain point in the issue, but
it's its own UX work, not a one-commit drive-by.
S-Bryce reported that for some artists (Vocaloid producers, JP indie
acts, niche Western indie) the artist detail page was missing whole
release-groups visible on musicbrainz.org. Downloaded tracks from
those release-groups appeared in artist track counts but were not
bound to any visible album / single card — orphan "ghost" tracks the
user couldn't browse to.
Two duplicated bugs fed each other:
1. `core/musicbrainz_search.py` browsed MB release-groups with
`release_types=['album', 'ep', 'single']`. MB's primary-type
vocabulary is {Album, Single, EP, Broadcast, Other} — music
videos, one-off web releases, and broadcast singles use Other.
Pre-fix the filter dropped them at the API layer.
2. Three sites duplicated the same "raw primary-type → internal
album_type" mapping with slightly different vocabularies and all
silently defaulted unknown values (including 'Other') to 'album':
core/musicbrainz_search.py `_map_release_type`
core/metadata/types.py inline `{single:single, ep:ep}.get(...)`
core/metadata/cache.py Deezer-specific record_type guard
Letting Other through the filter without a real mapper would have
placed music videos in the Albums view alongside LPs — visually
misleading.
Fix shape:
- New `core/metadata/release_type.py` — single canonical mapper
consumed by every provider's raw→Album projection. Knows the full
MB vocabulary including 'other' and 'broadcast'; routes both into
the singles bucket since they're functionally single-track
releases. Compilation secondary-type override preserved (MB's
canonical Greatest-Hits pattern is `primary=Album,
secondary=[Compilation]`).
- `core/musicbrainz_search.py` `_map_release_type` becomes a thin
alias for the new helper so the six internal call sites stay
intact. API filter gains 'other'.
- `core/metadata/types.py` Album projection drops its inline mini-
mapper and calls the canonical helper. Now also handles the
compilation secondary-type override it was previously missing.
- The Deezer-specific cache.py guard stays as-is — Deezer's
record_type vocabulary is closed (album|single|ep), not affected
by this issue.
Verified end-to-end against MB for S-Bryce's artist (`46196b9c-affa-
4616-b53b-e967c8bd70e0`, inabakumori): pre-fix returned 22 release-
groups; post-fix returns 27, with the 5 extra all landing in the
Singles section with album_type='single' as intended.
23 new unit tests pin the mapper contract (case-insensitive primary
types, compilation secondary override, Other/Broadcast → single,
unknown → album default preserved, defensive empty/None inputs).
2 new tests in test_musicbrainz_search pin the API filter inclusion
of 'other' and the round-trip into the Singles bucket. All 516
existing metadata tests still green — refactor leaves historical
behaviour for {album, ep, single, compilation} unchanged.
When slskd_url is configured but the host is unreachable (slskd not
running, wrong port, host.docker.internal not resolving), the frontend's
/api/downloads/status polling fanned out to every download plugin
including Soulseek. soulseek_client._make_request hit a DNS / connect
failure on each poll and logged it at ERROR. Result: one
"Cannot connect to host host.docker.internal:5030" log line every
~2-3 seconds for the entire duration of any download — visible spam
even when the user wasn't using Soulseek at all.
Caught aiohttp.ClientConnectorError explicitly in both _make_request
and _make_direct_request. First failure emits one WARNING with
actionable context (start slskd, or clear soulseek.slskd_url if you
don't use Soulseek). Subsequent failures demote to DEBUG. The
_last_unreachable_logged flag resets on any successful (200/201/204)
response so a later outage warns again — suppression is per-outage,
not per-process-lifetime. Same shape as the existing _last_401_logged
suppression for auth failures.
The architectural gap (status polling fans out to soulseek even when
the user has soulseek disabled in their active download sources) is
intentionally left for a follow-up. The plugin-iteration code lives
in core/download_engine/engine.py and core/download_orchestrator.py;
threading a "skip-when-not-active" gate through every caller is a
bigger refactor than this user-facing log cleanup warrants. The
WARNING-once message tells the user what to do in the meantime.
5 new pinning tests cover the suppression contract: connection error
returns None (not raises), first failure WARNs + sets flag, repeats
stay quiet, successful response resets the flag, _make_direct_request
follows the same pattern, and non-connection exceptions still log at
ERROR so real bugs aren't hidden behind the new suppression.
The Fix Track Match modal's auto-search was hardcoded to query only
Spotify -> Deezer -> iTunes, ignoring MusicBrainz entirely — even for
users with MB set as their primary metadata source. MB-niche recordings
(canonical entries with diacritics, fringe / non-mainstream tracks that
the commercial catalogues don't carry) had no chance.
Wiring:
- New `MusicBrainzSearchClient.search_tracks_with_artist(track, artist,
limit)` for surfaces that already have title + artist split. Uses MB's
bare-query mode (strict=False) — diacritic-folded, alias/sortname
indexed — same recall rationale as the earlier MBID-paste endpoint.
- New route `GET /api/musicbrainz/search_tracks` mirrors the existing
/api/{spotify,itunes,deezer}/search_tracks endpoints exactly: accepts
`track`+`artist` (or legacy `query`) + `limit`, returns
`{tracks: [{id, name, artists, album, duration_ms, image_url, source}]}`.
Applies the same `core.metadata.relevance.rerank_tracks` pass Deezer /
iTunes use, which is critical because MB's free-text scoring weighs
title-text matches heavily and would otherwise rank cover / tribute
recordings above the canonical version.
- `_search_tracks_text` gains a `min_score` parameter. The cascade path
passes 20 (vs the enhanced-search-tab default of 80) so MB recordings
whose title doesn't literally contain the artist name still enter the
candidate pool — without that, "Army of Me" + "Bjork" only surfaces
the HIRS Collective cover (score 100) and drops Björk's canonical
recording (score 28). The rerank pass then surfaces Björk by artist
match. Verified against real MB API: pre-fix returned only the cover;
post-fix top 5 are all Björk.
- Fix popup `allSources` array (wishlist-tools.js) gets MB appended.
The existing `activeIdx` reorder logic moves MB to the front when
it's the active primary; otherwise MB sits last (1 req/sec rate
limit makes it the slowest source).
7 new unit tests on the adapter: bare-query mode is used, missing
artist falls back to None (drops AND-clause), empty inputs short-circuit,
low-score candidates are kept for rerank to handle, default strict +
default min_score behaviour preserved for the existing search-tab path,
client errors are swallowed so the cascade falls through to the next
source.
Discogs intentionally absent — Discogs has no track-level search API
(see core/discogs_client.py:575 — returns []). Adding a Flask endpoint
that always returns empty would be a permanent no-op.
Power-user escape hatch on the Discovery Fix Track Match modal — when
fuzzy auto-search ranks the wrong recording among many same-title
versions (10 remasters, live cuts, alt sessions), paste the MusicBrainz
recording URL or bare UUID into the new field and resolve straight to
that record.
Layout:
- Shape adapter `get_recording_flat(mbid)` lives in
`core/musicbrainz_search.py` next to existing `get_track_details`.
Returns the flat Fix-popup track shape (artists as `string[]`,
album as string, single `image_url`) — distinct from the
Spotify-shaped nested dict `get_track_details` returns.
- New route `GET /api/musicbrainz/recording/<mbid>` is a thin wrapper:
validates MBID format with an anchored UUID regex, calls the adapter,
returns 400 / 404 / 200 with no inline shape massaging.
- Frontend `parseMusicBrainzMbid()` lives in `shared-helpers.js` —
pure URL/UUID parser, reusable from other surfaces (failed-MB cache,
manual match) without duplication.
- Fix modal HTML gets one new input row + button; existing search row
and result render pipeline are untouched. New `lookupDiscoveryFixByMbid()`
fetches the endpoint and feeds the single result through the existing
`renderDiscoveryFixResults` -> confirm-dialog -> match pipeline, so MB-
paste matches go through the exact same selection flow as auto-search
results.
- Enter-key bound on the MBID input via a separate handler ref so its
lifecycle matches the search-input handlers without conflating the
two submit targets.
7 unit tests cover the adapter: happy path, empty/None MBID, MB returns
None, recording-without-release (empty album), multi-artist credits,
includes-list contract, and client-error swallow.
Out of scope: the Fix popup's fuzzy cascade is still hardcoded to
spotify/deezer/itunes regardless of which primary source the user has
configured. Adding MB to that cascade (when MB is the active primary)
is a separate concern.
Two bugs surfacing on the Fix popup and enhanced-search MB tab:
1. Strict Lucene phrase queries (`recording:"X" AND artist:"Y"`) killed
recall on user-facing manual search — diacritics ("Bjork" vs canonical
"Björk"), bracketed suffixes like "(Live)", and any AND-clause
mismatch returned zero results. Added `strict: bool = True` param to
`search_release` / `search_recording`; when False, sends a bare query
joining title + artist so MB hits alias/sortname indexes with
diacritic folding. `/api/musicbrainz/search` (Fix popup) and
`core/library/service_search.py` (service tabs) now pass strict=False.
Enrichment workers stay on strict mode — precision matters there
because they auto-accept the top hit above a confidence threshold.
2. Every MB album click was silently 404-ing — `_render_release_as_album`
passed `cover-art-archive` as an MB `inc` param, but it's not a valid
include for the /release resource (MB rejects with 400). The CAA flags
come back on every release response by default, so dropping the bad
include preserves the image-scope picker logic intact.
