After an update, installs became unusable: the Amazon enrichment worker runs by
default, the default public T2Tunes proxy (t2tunes.site) was returning
503 'Amazon Music API is not initialized', and the worker treated every album
as an individual error -- logging an ERROR per item, churning network + DB
continuously across the whole library, and marking every row 'error' (a state
the retry tiers never re-attempt, so even after the proxy recovered nothing
re-enriched). The reporter couldn't reach the UI to turn it off.
Two-part fix:
1. Source-outage circuit breaker (core/amazon_outage.py, pure + tested):
- is_source_outage(exc) distinguishes a whole-source outage (HTTP 5xx,
'not initialized', connection failure, non-JSON error page) from a real
per-item miss (404, transient 400, etc.).
- On an outage the worker now leaves the item UNTOUCHED (so it's retried once
the proxy recovers instead of being permanently burned to 'error'), logs
ONCE per streak, and backs off with next_poll_delay_seconds() -- escalating
30s -> 60s -> ... capped at 30 min -- instead of grinding every 2s. It
auto-resumes the normal cadence the moment the source answers (success OR a
non-outage error both clear the streak).
- AmazonClientError now carries status_code so detection doesn't rely on
message parsing.
2. Opt-in by default (web_server.py): amazon_enrichment_paused now defaults to
True. Because enrichment depends on an external public proxy that can be
down, it stays paused unless the user explicitly enables it -- a proxy outage
can no longer take down installs that never opted in. (Behaviour change:
anyone on the old auto-on default is now paused; re-enable in Settings.)
Together: on update the worker is paused -> no flood -> UI accessible; opted-in
users are protected from future outages by the breaker.
Tests: tests/test_amazon_outage.py (12) pin the classifier across every error
surface (incl. the exact 503 'not initialized' case) and the back-off schedule
(monotonic, capped). 157 Amazon tests pass; lint clean.
Note: could not reproduce the exact 'UI fully unreachable' mechanism remotely
(WAL + 8 gthreads shouldn't hard-lock); the fix removes the flood/churn that is
the practical cause and defaults the feature off.
t2tunes uses HTTP 400 for transient Amazon-side failures instead of 5xx.
The first API call in a fresh session hit this every time, so album and
artist searches always failed while the track search (called 0.5 s later)
got through.
- _get_json: retry up to 3 times (1 s, 2 s backoff) on t2tunes-specific
400 "Failed to search" responses
- All search_raw calls switched from types="track,album" to types="track"
— t2tunes album-type queries are currently broken server-side; albums
and artists are now derived from track result metadata instead
- search_albums: drop is_album filter, extract album fields from track hits
- get_album_tracks: fall back to stream index (1-based) when t2tunes tags
omit trackNumber, preventing every track landing as track 01
Three ruff S110 violations replaced with logger.debug calls:
- amazon_client.py:527 duration backfill ASIN search
- amazon_client.py:679 album metadata fetch in _fetch_album_metas
- amazon_worker.py:401 artist image backfill from albums
- Artist cards, hero section, and enhanced view now show Amazon Music badges
when amazon_id is populated (AMAZON_LOGO_URL constant, orange #FF9900 brand)
- Enhanced view artist and album match status rows include amazon_match_status
chip with click-to-rematch via openManualMatchModal
- getServiceUrl: added amazon (album/track ASIN → music.amazon.com) and fixed
missing discogs entries; serviceLabels adds tidal/qobuz/amazon
- Enhanced view enhanced-artist-id-badges includes amazon_id entry
- DB SELECTs for library artists list and artist detail now return amazon_id;
both response dicts include the field
- watchlist_artists migration adds amazon_artist_id column
- Watchlist config GET: amazon_artist_id in SELECT/WHERE/response (index 18)
- Watchlist artists list response includes amazon_artist_id
- link-provider endpoint: amazon added to valid_providers and col_map
- _populateLinkedProviderSection: amazonId param + Amazon Music source row
- Watchlist card source badges render Amazon pill (watchlist-source-amazon CSS)
- _openSourceSearch labels map includes amazon
- service_search: amazon_worker injected via init(); _search_service amazon branch
uses search_artists/albums/tracks, same {id,name,image,extra} return shape
- _SERVICE_ID_COLUMNS: amazon → amazon_id for artist/album/track
- _init_service_search call passes amazon_worker_obj
- amazon_client._fetch_album_metas: 5-minute TTL cache per ASIN — cached hits
skip _rate_limit() and HTTP call entirely; fixes ~10s artist detail load
- registry.py: removed amazon from METADATA_SOURCE_PRIORITY and
METADATA_SOURCE_LABELS — T2Tunes has no discography API, cannot serve as a
primary metadata source; Amazon remains a download source + ASIN enricher
- Settings metadata source dropdown and help text updated accordingly
The cap caused albums beyond position 10 to load without art on the
artist detail discography. T2Tunes search_raw naturally returns ~20
results per query, so album_candidates is already bounded — no explicit
cap needed.
Two bugs in the library artist detail page when Amazon is the source:
1. No album art: get_artist_albums returned Album dataclasses with
image_url=None — it collected ASINs but never called _fetch_album_metas.
Now fetches metas for up to 10 albums (same cap as search_albums),
populating image_url, release_date, and total_tracks on each Album.
2. No singles: Album.from_search_hit hardcodes album_type="album" and
T2Tunes exposes no release type in search results. Added inference:
total_tracks==1 → album_type="single", which routes them to the
singles bucket in the discography categorizer.
Also passes album_name through _strip_edition and artist through
_primary_artist in get_artist_albums (parity with search_albums).
3. amazon_id missing from artist_source_ids in get_artist_detail:
the discography lookup never received the stored Amazon slug so
it always fell back to name search. Added 'amazon': artist_info.
get('amazon_id') to the dict alongside spotify/deezer/itunes/etc.
Library upgrade: find_library_artist_for_source returned None immediately for
Amazon because SOURCE_ID_FIELD has no 'amazon' entry (no DB column for Amazon
artist IDs). The name-based fallback was unreachable. Fix: only skip the column
query when column is None, not the whole function — name lookup now runs for
any source when artist_name + active_server are provided.
Artist images: add AmazonClient._get_artist_image_from_albums so the standard
_get_artist_image_from_source path in metadata/artist_image.py can call it as
a fallback (same hook iTunes/Deezer/Discogs expose). Searches by unslugified
artist name, matches primary artist, fetches album cover from album_metadata.
Test: updated test_source_only_set_matches_mapping_keys → _contains_all_mapped_
sources to assert subset (not equality) — SOURCE_ONLY_ARTIST_SOURCES intentionally
includes sources without a DB column that rely on name-only lookup.
T2Tunes albumList entries may not include a release_date field, leaving the
$year path template empty. get_album() now falls back to the first track's
release_date (populated from the FLAC date tag via get_album_tracks) when
album metadata has none. Also try camelCase releaseDate key at all albumList
read sites (Album.from_metadata, get_album, _fetch_album_metas consumers).
1 new test: release_date backfilled from stream date tag when absent from
album metadata. date tag "2024-11-22" added to MEDIA_RESPONSE_FLAC fixture.
media_from_asin returns no duration data. get_album_tracks now does one
search_raw call using the album name + primary artist from stream tags,
filters hits by albumAsin == requested asin, and builds a duration_map
(track asin → duration_ms). Search failures are swallowed — duration_ms
falls back to 0 so the existing behaviour is preserved on error.
2 new tests: duration populated when search returns matching hit; duration
stays 0 when search endpoint returns an error.
release_date: T2Tunes album metadata may use camelCase releaseDate — try both
keys at all read sites (get_album, get_track_details, Album.from_metadata,
_fetch_album_metas consumers). Final fallback: s.date from stream tags, which
T2Tunes always populates from embedded FLAC/MP4 date tag. Wire s.date into
get_album_tracks items and get_track_details album.release_date so the $year
path template resolves correctly.
disc_number crash: .get('disc_number', 1) returns None when key is present but
value is None (Amazon stream info has Optional[int] for disc_number). Switch all
max() call sites and disc_num assignments to `or 1` guard:
- master.py: run_full_missing_tracks_process max() and disc_num read
- candidates.py: track_info and detailed_track disc_number reads
- web_server.py: enhanced and standard album download max() calls
AcoustID verification was quarantining every Amazon track because T2Tunes
embeds [Explicit] and [feat. X] in stream tag titles/artists, but AcoustID
returns bare titles — triggering version-mismatch rejection on every track.
- get_track_details: apply _strip_edition to name/album, _primary_artist to
artist; wire s.track_number / s.disc_number instead of hardcoded None
- get_album_tracks: apply _strip_edition to name, _primary_artist to artist
Also fix TypeError crash in album download paths when disc_number is None
(present in dict but explicitly None, so .get('disc_number', 1) returns None):
- master.py run_full_missing_tracks_process: or 1 guard on both max() and disc_num
- candidates.py track_info extraction: or 1 guard on both disc_number reads
- web_server.py enhanced + standard album download max() calls: or 1 guard
- All search_raw calls switched from single-type to types="track,album" — T2Tunes only
returns results when both types are requested together
- _fetch_album_metas: parallel fetch (up to 5 workers) of album cover art via
album_metadata(asin) — T2Tunes search results carry no image URLs
- search_tracks: populates image_url, release_date, total_tracks from album meta
- search_artists: strips feat. credits via _primary_artist() so "Artist feat. X" and
"Artist ft. Y" collapse to one "Artist" entry; uses album cover as artist image
stand-in (same approach as iTunes — T2Tunes has no artist images)
- search_albums: name-based dedup (display_name + artist key) instead of ASIN-based;
populates image_url, release_date, total_tracks from album meta (cap 10 ASIN fetches)
- _strip_edition(): strips [Explicit]/(Explicit) from track/album names — explicit is
the default version; Clean/Edited/Censored labels kept as-is so they stay distinct
- get_album(): applies _strip_edition to name and _primary_artist to artist so
MusicBrainz preflight matching doesn't fail on "[Explicit]" album names
- get_album_tracks(): populates track_number and disc_number from T2TunesStreamInfo
instead of hardcoding None — fixes track ordering in multi-track album downloads
- get_artist() / get_artist_albums(): _unslugify() converts slug artist IDs back to
search names; _primary_artist() in comparison handles feat-annotated results
- SOURCE_ONLY_ARTIST_SOURCES: added "amazon" so artist detail page doesn't 404
- build_source_only_artist_detail: added amazon_client param + dispatch branch
- web_server.py: resolve amazon_client in _build_source_only_artist_detail wrapper;
add source_override=="amazon" branch in get_spotify_album_tracks endpoint
- 77 tests covering all above paths; all pass
Wires AmazonClient into the metadata source registry following the
exact same pattern as DeezerClient. No existing source paths touched.
- Add get_album_metadata / get_artist_info / get_artist_albums_list
aliases to AmazonClient (mirrors DeezerClient interface aliases)
- Register amazon in METADATA_SOURCE_PRIORITY and METADATA_SOURCE_LABELS
- Add _get_amazon_factory() + get_amazon_client() to registry.py
- Add amazon branch to get_client_for_source(); thread amazon_client_factory
kwarg through get_primary_client() and get_primary_source_status()
- Re-export get_amazon_client from the core.metadata_service shim
- Add Amazon Music option to Settings metadata source dropdown
- 3530 tests pass
core/amazon_client.py — T2Tunes-backed metadata client following the
DeezerClient/iTunesClient contract. Exposes search_tracks, search_artists,
search_albums, get_track_details, get_album, get_album_tracks, get_artist,
get_artist_albums, get_track_features. T2TunesStreamInfo dataclass captures
the hex decryption key returned by the proxy (CENC/AES-128). Handles the
"stremeable" API typo. 0.5 s rate-limit guard + api_call_tracker.
core/amazon_download_client.py — DownloadSourcePlugin backed by the above
client. Codec waterfall: FLAC → Opus → EAC3. Downloads the encrypted MP4
container, decrypts with ffmpeg -decryption_key, yields the native audio
file (.flac / .opus / .eac3). Not yet wired into the app source registry —
validated in isolation only; see tests/tools/.
tools/t2tunes_probe.py + tools/t2tunes_media_plan.py — standalone CLI tools
used for live API exploration during development.
tests/tools/test_amazon_client.py — 72 unit tests (all mocked).
tests/tools/test_amazon_download_client.py — 52 unit tests (all mocked).
124 tests pass.
