Track delete in the enhanced library now shows three options:
- Remove from Library: DB record only (existing behavior)
- Delete File Too: DB + os.remove() the file from disk
- Delete & Blacklist: DB + file removal + add source to blacklist
New download_blacklist table stores rejected sources (username + filename)
with CRUD methods. Blacklist will be checked by the download pipeline
and the upcoming track redownload modal.
Smart delete modal styled with the same glass/dark theme as other
SoulSync modals, with color-coded destructive options.
Dashboard enrichment chips show 'Yielding' instead of 'Paused' when
workers are auto-paused during downloads. Tooltips show 'Yielding for
downloads' for full context. Distinguishes user-paused from auto-paused.
Also handles edge case where user manually resumes a worker during
downloads — adds to override set so the loop doesn't re-pause it.
Override resets when downloads finish so next download session re-pauses.
Spotify, Last.fm, and Genius enrichment workers are now automatically
paused while any download batch is active. This prevents enrichment
API calls from competing with post-processing metadata lookups for
rate limit headroom, especially during heavy download scenarios
(3 playlist workers + wishlist downloads simultaneously).
Workers resume automatically when all downloads finish. Only workers
that were auto-paused are resumed — manually paused workers stay paused.
Piggybacks on the existing 2-second enrichment status loop with no new
threads or timers.
Genius rate limits are undocumented but users hit 429s at ~40 req/min.
Bumping interval from 1.5s to 2s drops throughput to ~30 req/min which
stays under the threshold. No functional change — just slower enrichment.
The manual match modal for Genius only returned 0 or 1 artist result
because search_artist() searched songs (per_page=5), extracted the
primary artist, and returned the first match or None.
Added search_artists() that returns multiple unique artists extracted
from song results with broader search (per_page=20). The manual match
endpoint now shows up to 8 artist candidates and multiple track results
instead of one-or-nothing. Also shows the Genius URL as extra info.
CAA art can be higher resolution (1200x1200+) but quality is
inconsistent — some releases have cellophane-wrapped photos or
low-quality scans. Spotify/iTunes/Deezer art is lower res (640x640)
but consistently clean and official.
New toggle: Settings → Post-Processing → "Use MusicBrainz Cover Art
Archive for album art" (off by default). Applies to both embedded
art and cover.jpg downloads.
The previous commit only added skip_cache=True to one call site in
web_server.py. The watchlist scanner in core/watchlist_scanner.py has
6 Spotify get_artist_albums calls that also need fresh data to detect
new releases. All now bypass cache. iTunes/Deezer calls are unaffected
(they don't have the skip_cache param, detected via hasattr check).
Five places in web_server.py called spotify_client.sp.search() directly,
bypassing the cached search_tracks()/search_artists() methods. Each
discovery worker (Tidal, YouTube, ListenBrainz, Beatport) was also
doubling API calls — sp.search() for raw data then search_tracks() for
Track objects.
Now all use cached methods only. Raw track data for album art is
retrieved from the metadata cache by track ID after matching. Also fixed
a pre-existing bug where Tidal discovery could pair stale Spotify raw
data with a newer iTunes match.
Bumped is_spotify_authenticated() probe cache TTL from 5 to 15 minutes
to reduce /v1/me calls (~288/day → ~96/day). Manual disconnect still
takes effect immediately via _invalidate_auth_cache().
The cache stores raw_data through _extract_fields which expects a dict
with a 'name' field. Storing a raw list caused silent AttributeError,
and storing a dict without 'name' triggered junk entity rejection
(empty string is in _JUNK_NAMES). Now wraps the albums list in a dict
with a valid name field so it passes validation and persists correctly.
The watchlist auto-scan needs fresh data from Spotify to detect new
releases, so it bypasses the cache added in the previous commit.
All other callers (UI browsing, completion badges, discography views)
continue to benefit from cached results.
get_artist_albums was making fresh API calls on every invocation with
no cache check, despite being one of the most called methods (discography
views, completion badges, watchlist scans). The method already cached
individual albums opportunistically but never checked for a cached result
before hitting the API.
Now follows the same check-then-fetch-then-cache pattern used by
get_album_tracks and get_artist. Cache key includes album_type param
so different queries (album,single vs compilation) are cached separately.
The MusicBrainz release ID found by _embed_source_ids was stored in the
metadata dict but never propagated to album_info. The old code tried to
write album_info['musicbrainz_release_id'] inside _embed_source_ids, but
album_info wasn't in that function's scope — causing a silent NameError.
Fix: copy the MBID from metadata to album_info in _enhance_file_metadata
(where both are in scope) right after _embed_source_ids returns. This
makes _download_cover_art see the MBID and use Cover Art Archive for
cover.jpg instead of falling back to the smaller Spotify/iTunes thumbnail.
YouTube's auto-generated artist channels use the format "Artist - Topic"
as the channel name. This suffix was not being stripped during playlist
parsing, causing metadata discovery to fail (e.g., searching for
"Koven - Topic" instead of "Koven" on iTunes/Deezer).
Fixed in all three places where YouTube artist names are cleaned:
- web_server.py clean_youtube_artist() — playlist parsing
- ui/pages/sync.py clean_youtube_artist() — UI-side parsing
- core/youtube_client.py — search result fallback artist extraction
New "Server Playlists" tab (default on Sync page) lets users compare
mirrored playlists against their media server and fix match issues.
- Dual-column comparison: source tracks (left) vs server tracks (right)
- Smart matching: exact title first, then fuzzy artist+title (≥75%)
- Find & Add: search library to fill missing slots at correct position
- Swap: replace matched tracks with different versions
- Remove: delete tracks from server playlists with confirmation
- Title similarity percentage badge on each match
- Disambiguation modal when multiple mirrored playlists share a name
- Album art on source tracks, server tracks, and search results
- Cross-column click-to-scroll highlighting
- Filter buttons (All/Matched/Missing/Extra) with live counts
- Escape key and backdrop click to close modals
- Mobile responsive (stacked columns under 768px)
- Works with Plex, Jellyfin, and Navidrome
New dashboard section shows recent syncs as scrolling cards with
playlist art, source badge, match percentage bar, and health color.
Click any card to open a detail modal showing every track's match
status, confidence score, album art, and download/wishlist status.
Per-track data is now cached in sync_history.track_results for all
sync paths: server-sync (playlist→media server), download missing
tracks, and wishlist processing. SyncResult carries match_details
from the sync service. Both image URLs and matched track info are
preserved for review.
Features:
- Staggered card entrance animation, delete button on hover
- Filter bar: All/Matched/Unmatched/Downloaded
- Color-coded confidence badges (green/amber/red)
- Unmatched tracks show "→ Wishlist" status
- 32px album art thumbnails per track row
- Auto-refreshes every 30 seconds on dashboard
- Falls back gracefully for old syncs without track_results
Sync operations now store per-track data (name, artist, match status,
confidence, download status) in a new track_results column on
sync_history. Also fixed missing config_manager import in
add_to_wishlist that crashed the duplicate tracks toggle.
Users who keep manual searches in slskd as reminders were losing
them when SoulSync auto-cleaned at 200+ entries. New toggle in
Settings → Downloads → Soulseek: "Auto-clear slskd search history"
(on by default, preserving current behavior). When disabled, both
the hourly cleanup automation and the full cleanup step skip the
search history maintenance.
Large libraries (first import) can take longer than 10 seconds for
getArtists to respond. The short timeout caused the library fetch
to fail with 0 artists returned.
The dashboard status poll and hybrid connection check were pinging
slskd every 2 minutes regardless of download source, flooding logs
with connection errors when slskd wasn't running. Now only checks
slskd when the download mode is 'soulseek' or when 'soulseek' is
in the hybrid order. Hybrid mode also only checks sources in the
configured priority order instead of all six.
Same song from different albums was blocked from entering the
wishlist by a name+artist dedup check. Added toggle in Settings →
Library → File Organization: "Allow duplicate tracks across albums"
(on by default). When enabled, the dedup is skipped — different
album versions of the same song can coexist in the wishlist for
complete discography downloads. The UNIQUE constraint on track ID
still prevents the exact same track from being added twice.
Route used <int:artist_id> which rejected Spotify/iTunes/Deezer
artist IDs. Changed to accept any string — tries as DB integer ID
first (verified against DB), then falls back to checking
spotify_artist_id, itunes_artist_id, deezer_artist_id columns.
Handles numeric iTunes/Deezer IDs correctly by verifying the DB
row exists before assuming it's a DB ID.
ETH address was wrong in the support modal. Also fixed clipboard
copy failing on HTTP (Docker) — navigator.clipboard requires HTTPS.
Added textarea fallback for insecure contexts, and shows the address
in a toast as last resort if both methods fail.
With metadata-only listing, tracks aren't pre-loaded. Now shows
loading overlay while fetching tracks via /api/tidal/playlist/<id>,
then dismisses overlay and opens discovery modal. Overlay is hidden
at every exit point (error, empty, success) to prevent it from
blocking the modal.
_sync_discovery_results_to_mirrored was calling get_current_profile_id()
which requires Flask's g context, but runs in a background thread.
Now captures the profile ID in the Flask endpoint (where context exists)
and passes it through the discovery state to the background worker.
Also added debug logging to trace mirrored playlist matching.
mirror_playlist() was deleting all tracks and re-inserting them,
which wiped the extra_data containing discovery results. Now saves
the {source_track_id: extra_data} map before deleting and restores
it on re-insert for tracks that don't bring their own extra_data.
This prevents discovery loss when playlists auto-refresh on tab load.
Tidal, Deezer, and Beatport discovery workers found metadata matches
but only stored them in memory and the discovery cache — never wrote
them back to the mirrored playlist tracks. This meant playlists had
to be re-discovered every time. Now writes {discovered, provider,
confidence, matched_data} to each mirrored track's extra_data after
discovery completes, matching the pattern YouTube and automation
pipeline discovery already used. Matches tracks by source_track_id
first, falls back to position index. Purely additive — discovery
logic is untouched.
The metadata-only optimization broke two things:
1. Cards showed 0 tracks because tracks were no longer in the listing
2. Auto-mirror skipped all playlists because tracks array was empty
Fix: cards render instantly from metadata, then tracks are fetched
per-playlist in the background via /api/tidal/playlist/<id>. As each
playlist's tracks arrive, the card count updates and the playlist
is auto-mirrored. Also tried multiple V2 attribute names for track
count (numberOfTracks, numberOfItems, etc.) and fixed the card DOM
selector for count updates.
get_user_playlists_metadata_only() was fetching full track lists for
every playlist sequentially (1+ API calls per playlist with 1s sleep
between pagination pages). For 20+ playlists this took 30-60 seconds.
Now returns only metadata (name, ID, track count, image) from a
single V2 API call. Track count comes from the numberOfTracks
attribute. Tracks are fetched on-demand when the user selects a
specific playlist to sync/mirror via the existing get_playlist()
endpoint.
Fresh installs now default to hybrid download mode (HiFi → YouTube →
Soulseek) instead of Soulseek-only, and Deezer as the metadata
fallback source instead of iTunes. Existing users with saved settings
are unaffected — defaults only apply when config keys don't exist.
The tooltip on failed/not_found tracks was offset by 3-6 items because
the backend cleanup step removed owned tracks from the wishlist between
when the frontend rendered the table and when the backend assigned
track indices. Surviving tracks got new enumeration indices (0,1,2...)
that didn't match their original table row positions (0,1,3,4...).
Fix: stamp each track with its position in the frontend's track_ids
array as _original_index, so the track_index always matches the modal
table row regardless of how many tracks were cleaned during processing.
The original #221 fix only covered Genius and AudioDB. All other
workers (Spotify, iTunes, Last.fm, MusicBrainz, Deezer, Tidal,
Qobuz) had the same bug: enrichment overwrites manual match status
to not_found when name search fails. Each worker now checks for an
existing service ID before searching by name and returns early if
one exists, preserving the manual match.
Worker threads were started before paused flag was set, allowing one
loop iteration (and API call) before pause took effect. Now sets
paused=True BEFORE start() so the thread sees it immediately. Fixes
the Spotify rate limit re-trigger on every container restart for users
with paused enrichment. Also increased max-retries rate limit ban
from 1 hour to 4 hours to prevent endless retry cycles.
When spotipy exhausts all retries on 429 errors, the actual
Retry-After value (often 10+ hours) is consumed internally by
spotipy and not passed in the exception. The default ban was
only 1 hour, causing an endless retry cycle. Increased to 4
hours to match the escalation max and give Spotify's ban time
to expire.
YouTube and ListenBrainz discovery toasts had source_label hardcoded
to 'iTunes' when not using Spotify. Now uses discovery_source.upper()
like the other discovery functions, so it correctly shows DEEZER when
Deezer is the active metadata source.
cover.jpg was always using the Spotify/iTunes thumbnail (640x640).
Now tries Cover Art Archive first (1200x1200+) when MusicBrainz
release ID is available. One line stores the MBID on album_info
during _enhance_file_metadata so _download_cover_art can use it.
Falls back to the source thumbnail if CAA has no art. Works for
all metadata sources since MusicBrainz enrichment is source-agnostic.
Status text and indicators now use fixed Material Design colors
instead of accent-dependent values — green for running/idle, amber
for paused, red for stopped, dim white for not configured. Readable
regardless of the user's chosen accent color.
normalize_string() was running unidecode on all text, converting
Japanese kanji to Chinese pinyin gibberish (命の灯火 → "tvanimedei").
Now detects CJK characters (kanji, hiragana, katakana, hangul,
fullwidth forms) and skips unidecode for text containing them —
just lowercases instead. Non-CJK text (Latin accents, Cyrillic)
still goes through unidecode normally.
"Believe" was falsely matching "Believe In Me" because SequenceMatcher
gives high scores when the search string is fully contained in the
match. Added a length ratio penalty: when cleaned titles differ in
length by more than 30%, the similarity score is multiplied by the
ratio (min/max length). This crushes prefix/suffix false positives
while leaving exact matches and cleaned variants (remastered, deluxe)
unaffected.
Playlist auto-sync was dropping tracks that failed iTunes/Apple Music
discovery — they never reached the wishlist or download pipeline. Now
undiscovered tracks continue through using available metadata: first
from the spotify_hint (embed scraper data with real Spotify track ID,
name, artists), then from raw playlist fields if a source track ID
exists. Album cover art from the mirrored playlist is included. Only
tracks with no usable ID or name are skipped.
Always-visible button in Spotify API section that clears the OAuth
token cache, pauses enrichment, and switches to the configured
fallback metadata source. Also fixed the dashboard service card to
show the actual active source name (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer) instead
of always showing "Spotify" with an amber fallback indicator.
New dedicated Explorer page with interactive node graph visualization.
Users select a mirrored playlist, choose Albums or Discographies mode,
and the app builds a branching tree: playlist root → artist nodes →
album nodes → track nodes. Supports all metadata sources (Spotify,
iTunes, Deezer) with source-aware discovery cache integration.
Features:
- Streaming NDJSON builds tree progressively as artist data arrives
- Circular artist nodes with photos, rounded album nodes with art
- SVG bezier connections that draw in on completion, fade on hover
- Click artist to expand albums, double-click album for track listing
- Single-click albums to select, Select All/Deselect for bulk ops
- Wishlist confirmation modal with per-album progress (NDJSON streaming)
- Artist nodes glow when any of their albums are selected
- Playlist picker with source tabs, discovery % gate (50% minimum)
- Zoom (scroll/pinch/buttons), pan (right/middle-drag), fit-to-view
- Metadata cache for discographies and album track listings
- Owned album detection from library database
- Fallback track-name matching when album names are missing
Plain (unsynced) lyrics were being saved with .lrc extension despite
having no timestamps, making them invalid for Plex and other players
that expect LRC format. Synced lyrics now write as .lrc, plain lyrics
write as .txt. Both types still get embedded in audio file tags.
Updated all file move/rename operations to handle .txt sidecars
alongside .lrc.
Enrichment chips now show live activity: 24h call count for all
services and daily budget usage (used/3,000) with gradient progress
bar for Spotify. Tracking is centralized in _get_enrichment_status
using cumulative stat diffs over a rolling deque — no worker files
modified. Added section header, "Configure →" label for unconfigured
services, and full 1h/24h breakdown in tooltips.
Single path template was missing _artists_list and _itunes_artist_id
context keys, so the collab mode first-artist extraction in
_apply_path_template had nothing to work with — $albumartist resolved
to the full multi-artist string. Added both keys matching the exact
pattern used by album and playlist modes, including the iTunes
spotify_album.external_urls fallback. Updated settings UI hints to
show $albumartist as available for single and playlist templates.
When a user manually matched an artist to a service ID then triggered
enrichment, the worker re-searched by name, failed to find a match,
and overwrote the status back to not_found — despite the ID being
valid. Now both Genius and AudioDB workers check for existing service
IDs before searching by name. If an ID exists (from manual match),
the worker uses it for a direct API lookup to enrich metadata while
preserving the matched status. Added AudioDB lookup-by-ID client
methods for artist, album, and track.
Top-level try/except in do_GET ensures an HTTP response is always sent
— previously, unhandled exceptions caused BaseHTTPRequestHandler to
silently close the connection (ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE). All callback
logging now uses the app logger instead of print() so output appears
in app.log rather than only Docker stdout. Added health check at / to
verify the callback server is running, and startup now logs the actual
bind address to help diagnose port conflicts.
Dashboard now displays all enrichment services as live-status chips
below the core service cards. Each chip shows Running, Idle, Paused,
Stopped, or Not Configured state with color-coded left border accents.
Unconfigured services appear dimmed with dashed borders — clicking any
configurable chip navigates to Settings → Connections and scrolls to
the relevant service section.
Also fixes the Spotify card always being labeled "Apple Music" when
using iTunes fallback — card now always says "Spotify" with an amber
"Using iTunes/Deezer" indicator when fallback is active.
