Major version bump with 40+ commits of features and fixes:
- Deezer as 6th download source (ARL auth, FLAC/MP3, Blowfish decrypt)
- Cache-powered discovery: 5 sections + Genre Deep Dive modal
- Listening Stats page with charts and play buttons
- Picard-style MB release preflight for consistent album tagging
- Album Tag Consistency repair job
- Unified glass UI across dashboard, sync, and modals
- Mobile responsive overhaul for all pages
- Enrichment fixes: retry loops, rate limits, worker pause during scans
- AcoustID skip for trusted API sources
Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, and HiFi download by exact track ID from official
APIs — files are guaranteed correct. AcoustID fingerprinting only runs
for Soulseek (P2P) and YouTube (extracted audio) where mislabeling is
possible. Users with AcoustID disabled see no change.
- Added deezer_dl to 7 hardcoded streaming source username tuples in web_server
- Streaming sources now bypass Soulseek filename-matching engine in get_valid_candidates
(API search results are already properly matched, no need for P2P filename scoring)
- Fixes download progress tracking, completion detection, and candidate filtering for Deezer
The enhanced view reorganize modal had a hardcoded default path template
instead of loading the user's saved template from settings. Now fetches
the saved album_path template from /api/settings on modal open.
Before album tracks start post-processing, pre-populate the MusicBrainz
release cache with ONE verified release. All tracks then hit the cache
during per-track processing and get the same release MBID — no second pass,
no file lock contention, tags correct on first write.
Handles edition name mismatches (Spotify says 'Super Deluxe', MB says
just the base name) by stripping qualifiers and searching again.
Validates track count to pick the right edition. Three download paths
covered: download missing modal, enhanced album, and matched album.
New maintenance job scans albums for tracks with mismatched album names, album
artist names, or MusicBrainz release IDs. These inconsistencies cause Navidrome
and other media servers to split one album into multiple entries. The fix
normalizes outlier tracks to the majority value by rewriting file tags.
All 11 background workers (9 enrichment + repair + SoulID) pause when a DB
scan starts and resume when it finishes. Tracks which workers were running
so manually-paused workers stay paused after scan. Covers incremental,
full refresh, deep scan, automation-triggered, and startup scans.
Embed scraper was pre-marking spotify_public tracks as discovered with
playlist-level images instead of per-track album art. Discover step then
skipped them entirely. Now stores spotify_hint (track ID) without marking
discovered, so Discover runs proper API lookups for real album art.
Settings DB connections had no timeout (default 5s), causing lock failures when
enrichment workers hold concurrent write locks. Added 30s timeout, WAL journal
mode for better concurrency, retry-once before falling back to config.json.
Event-triggered automations now receive playlist_id from the triggering event
when the action config doesn't have one set. Fixes silent 'No playlist specified'
failures in Discover/Sync chains. Added debug logging to trace event matching.
- All 9 enrichment workers: stop auto-retrying 'error' status items (was infinite loop)
Only 'not_found' items retry after configured days; errors require manual full refresh
- Cover art dedup: check both 'pending' AND 'resolved' findings to prevent recreation
- Cover art scanner: top-level Spotify rate limit check skips Spotify entirely when
banned, falls back to iTunes/Deezer only, logs once instead of spamming 429s
- Stats page: database storage donut chart with per-table breakdown and total size
- Discover page: 5 new sections mined from metadata cache (zero API calls):
Undiscovered Albums, New In Your Genres, From Your Labels, Deep Cuts, Genre Explorer
- Genre Deep Dive modal: artists (clickable → artist page), popular tracks,
albums with download flow, related genre pills, in-library badges
- All cache queries filtered by active metadata source (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer)
- Stale cache entries (404) gracefully fall back to name+artist resolution
- Album cards show "In Library" badge, artist avatars scaled by prominence
- Stats page: full mobile layout with compact cards, charts, ranked lists
- Artist hero: stacked layout, compact image/name/badges, top tracks below
- Enhanced library: meta header/expanded header stack vertically, track table
collapses action columns into bottom sheet popover on mobile
- Automations: builder sidebar collapses, inputs go full width
- Hydrabase/Issues/Help: responsive stacking and compact layouts
- Fix grid blowout: add min-width:0 to stats grid children and overflow:hidden
Integrates play history data into the discovery algorithm:
- Listening profile: _get_listening_profile() builds user's top artists,
genres, play counts, and listening velocity from the last 30 days
- Artist genre cache: pre-built from local DB for O(1) genre lookups
- Release Radar: +10 genre affinity, +15 artist familiarity, -10 overplay
penalty. Weights rebalanced to 45% recency + 25% popularity + bonuses
- Discovery Weekly: serendipity scoring within tiers — boosts unheard
artists in preferred genres, penalizes overplayed artists
- Recent Albums: adaptive time window (21-60 days) based on listening
velocity — heavy listeners get fresher content, casual listeners more
- New "Because You Listen To" sections: personalized carousels based on
user's top 3 played artists via similar artists + genre fallback
- New endpoint: /api/discover/because-you-listen-to with artist images
- Frontend: BYLT sections with artist photo headers on discover page
- All changes gracefully fall back when no listening data exists
Full stats dashboard that polls Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome for play
history and presents it with Chart.js visualizations:
Backend:
- ListeningStatsWorker polls active server every 30 min
- listening_history DB table with dedup, play_count/last_played on tracks
- get_play_history() and get_track_play_counts() for all 3 servers
- Pre-computed cache for all time ranges (7d/30d/12m/all) rebuilt each sync
- Single cached endpoint serves all stats data instantly
- Stats query methods: top artists/albums/tracks, timeline, genres, health
Frontend:
- New Stats nav page with glassmorphic container matching dashboard style
- Overview cards (plays, time, artists, albums, tracks) with accent hover
- Listening timeline bar chart (Chart.js)
- Genre breakdown doughnut chart with legend
- Top artists visual bubbles with profile pictures + ranked list
- Top albums and tracks ranked lists with album art
- Library health: format breakdown bar, unplayed count, enrichment coverage
- Recently played timeline with relative timestamps
- Time range pills with instant switching via cache
- Sync Now button with spinner, last synced timestamp
- Clickable artist names navigate to library artist detail
- Last.fm global listeners shown alongside personal play counts
- SoulID badges on matched artists
- Empty state when no data synced yet
- Mobile responsive layout
DB migrations: listening_history table, play_count/last_played columns,
all with idempotent CREATE IF NOT EXISTS / PRAGMA checks.
Opus ffmpeg command now uses -map 0:a to extract only the audio stream,
matching the user's working command and preventing picture stream
interference with the encoder. After conversion, cover art is embedded
from the source FLAC using Mutagen: Opus gets METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE
(base64-encoded per OGG spec), AAC gets MP4Cover. Applied to both
the post-download lossy copy and the repair job fix handler.
The lossy converter fix handler now reads codec and bitrate fresh
from the Settings page when converting, not from what was stored
in the finding details at scan time. Users can change their codec
preference after scanning and Fix All will use the new setting.
The lossy converter fix handler now reads delete_original from its
own job settings (repair.jobs.lossy_converter.settings.delete_original)
instead of the global lossy_copy.delete_original. Defaults to false.
Separate from the per-download Blasphemy Mode toggle in Settings.
New library maintenance job that scans for FLAC files missing a lossy
copy (MP3/Opus/AAC) and creates findings. Fix action converts via
ffmpeg using the configured codec/bitrate from Settings. Supports
Blasphemy Mode (delete original + update DB path). Finding details
store codec/bitrate from scan time for consistency. Disabled by
default, manual-run only, no auto-schedule.
- Add get_artist_top_tracks to Last.fm client (up to 100 tracks)
- Include lastfm_listeners, lastfm_playcount, lastfm_tags, lastfm_bio,
and soul_id in artist detail API response
- New endpoint: /api/artist/<id>/lastfm-top-tracks for lazy loading
- Hero layout: image (160px) | center (name, badges, genres, bio,
listener/play stats, progress bars) | right card (scrollable top
100 tracks from Last.fm)
- Badges 36px with hover lift, bio in subtle card with Read More
toggle, Last.fm tags merged with existing genres
- Numbers formatted: 1234567 → 1.2M
- Graceful degradation: sections hidden when Last.fm data unavailable
Lossy copy now supports MP3, Opus, and AAC (M4A) codecs with a
configurable dropdown in settings. Each codec uses the appropriate
ffmpeg encoder (libmp3lame/libopus/aac) and Mutagen tag writer
(ID3/Vorbis/MP4). Quality tag, filename substitution, and Blasphemy
Mode file cleanup all work per-codec. Backward compatible — existing
configs default to MP3.
get_current_profile_id() uses Flask's g object which doesn't exist
in background threads. Now profile_id is captured at request time
and passed as a parameter to _run_sync_task. All 8 call sites
updated. Automation path defaults to profile_id=1.
Orphan detector: add normalized tag matching that strips parentheticals
and brackets (feat. X, [FLAC 16bit], etc.) and tries first-artist-only
for comma-separated artists. Prevents false orphan flags for tracks
like "The Mountain (feat. Dennis Hopper...)" that exist in DB as
"The Mountain". All lookups remain O(1) set operations.
Orphan fix: replace auto-delete with user choice prompt. Single Fix
and Fix All both show modal asking "Move to Staging" or "Delete".
Move to Staging relocates file to import staging folder for proper
re-import with metadata matching. Fix action flows through API
endpoint → repair_worker.fix_finding → _fix_orphan_file handler.
Staging path uses docker_resolve_path for container compatibility.
When searching for "Playing the Angel (Deluxe)", MusicBrainz would
match the standard release because its higher popularity score
outweighed the lower title similarity. Now match_release extracts
version qualifiers (Deluxe, Remastered, etc.) from both the query
and each result, applying a +10 bonus for exact qualifier match,
+5 for partial, and -5 penalty when the query has a qualifier but
the result doesn't. This ensures deluxe downloads get the deluxe
MBID, preventing Navidrome from splitting albums.
SoulID worker generates deterministic soul IDs for all library entities:
- Artists: hash(name + debut_year) — searches iTunes + Deezer APIs,
verifies correct artist by matching discography against local DB
albums via MusicMatchingEngine, pools years from both sources and
picks the earliest. Falls back to hash(name) if no match found.
- Albums: hash(artist + album)
- Tracks: song ID hash(artist + track) + album ID hash(artist + album + track)
Dashboard button with trans2.png logo, rainbow spinner, hover tooltip.
Worker orb with rainbow effect. SoulSync badge on library artist cards.
DB migration adds soul_id columns with indexes to artists/albums/tracks.
Migration version flag auto-resets artist soul IDs when algorithm changes.
1. Fix filename parser pattern order — "01 - Title" now matched
before "Artist - Title", preventing track numbers being treated
as artist names (e.g., "08" no longer becomes the artist)
2. Tag priority over filename parsing — shared _read_staging_file_metadata()
helper reads title, artist, albumartist, album, track_number, disc_number
from Mutagen tags. Only falls back to filename parsing when BOTH title
AND artist tags are empty. Applied to all 3 staging scan sites.
3. Improved match scoring — rebalanced from title(0.5)+tracknum(0.5) to
title(0.45)+artist(0.15)+tracknum(0.30)+album_bonus(0.10). Files
whose album tag matches the selected album get boosted.
4. Auto-group detection — new /api/import/staging/groups endpoint groups
staging files by album+artist tags. Frontend shows "Auto-Detected
Albums" section with one-click search. Match endpoint accepts
optional file_paths filter to scope matching to a specific group.
