Pass active download item ID through extension download pipeline so
fileDownload can report bytes received/total via ItemProgressWriter.
Add bytesTotal field to DownloadItem model and show X/Y MB progress
in queue tab when total size is known.
Load saved registry URL before first state update to prevent brief
flash of the setup screen when the store tab initializes.
Add Ogg/Opus fallback in readFileMetadata when FLAC parsing fails,
handling files saved with .flac extension that contain opus data.
- Defer extension VM initialization until first use with lockReadyVM() pattern to eliminate TOCTOU races and reduce startup overhead
- Add validateExtensionLoad() to catch JS errors at install time without keeping VM alive
- Teardown VM on extension disable to free resources; re-init lazily on re-enable
- Replace full orphan cleanup with incremental cursor-based pagination across launches
- Batch DB writes (upsertBatch, replaceAll) with transactions for atomicity
- Parse JSON natively on Kotlin side to avoid double-serialization over MethodChannel
- Add identity-based memoization caches for unified items and path match keys in queue tab
- Use ValueListenableBuilder for targeted embedded cover refreshes instead of full setState
- Extract shared widgets (_buildAlbumGridItemCore, _buildFilterButton, _navigateWithUnfocus)
- Use libraryCollectionsProvider selector and MediaQuery.paddingOf for fewer rebuilds
- Simplify supporter chip tiers and localize remaining hardcoded strings
- Add homeFeedProvider field to AppSettings with picker UI in extensions page
- Update explore_provider to respect user's home feed provider preference
- Add normalizeCoverReference() and normalizeRemoteHttpUrl() to filter
invalid cover URLs (no scheme, no host, protocol-relative)
- Apply cover URL normalization across all screens and providers to
prevent 'no host specified in URI' errors from Qobuz
- Propagate CoverURL from QobuzDownloadResult through Go backend so
cover art is available even when request metadata is incomplete
- Add SearchAll() for Tidal and Qobuz in Go backend (tracks, artists, albums)
- Add searchTidalAll/searchQobuzAll platform routing for Android and iOS
- Add Tidal/Qobuz options to search provider dropdown in home tab
- Show (Recommended) label and auto-select service in download picker
Requested by @okinaau in issue #242 — brings back the ability to
download tracks in lossy format for users on low storage devices.
HIGH quality fetches the AAC M4A stream directly from the Tidal server
(no lossless download + re-encode), then converts to MP3 or Opus via
FFmpeg based on the tidalHighFormat setting (mp3_320, opus_256, or
opus_128).
- go_backend/tidal.go: restore outputExt .m4a, filename logic,
duplicate-check guard, HIGH M4A lyrics/LRC handling, and
bitDepth=0/sampleRate=44100 for HIGH quality result
- settings.dart + settings.g.dart: re-add tidalHighFormat field
(default mp3_320) with JSON serialization
- settings_provider.dart: re-add setTidalHighFormat(), remove
migration that force-migrated HIGH to LOSSLESS
- download_queue_provider.dart: restore HIGH conversion logic for
both SAF and non-SAF paths using FFmpegService.convertM4aToLossy
- download_settings_page.dart: restore Lossy 320kbps quality tile,
format sub-picker tile, _getTidalHighFormatLabel helper, and
_showTidalHighFormatPicker bottom sheet
- l10n: add 10 keys (downloadLossy320, downloadLossyFormat,
downloadLossy320Format, downloadLossy320FormatDesc, downloadLossyMp3,
downloadLossyMp3Subtitle, downloadLossyOpus256/Subtitle,
downloadLossyOpus128/Subtitle) to ARB and all 13 generated files
ReadFileMetadata now fills all tag fields (title, artist, album, ISRC,
lyrics, genre, label, copyright, composer, comment, track/disc number)
for M4A files using the new ReadM4ATags helper, matching the existing
behavior for FLAC, MP3, and Ogg.
scanM4AFile reads tags via ReadM4ATags instead of falling back to the
filename, and applies applyDefaultLibraryMetadata for missing fields
(consistent with FLAC/MP3 scan path).
Remove the '&& ext != ".m4a"' guard in cover cache so M4A cover art
is extracted and cached during library scans.
Add ReadM4ATags() that parses all standard iTunes atoms (title, artist,
album, album artist, date, genre, composer, comment, copyright, lyrics,
track/disc number) and freeform '----' atoms (ISRC, label, lyrics).
Fix two pre-existing bugs in the M4A atom traversal:
- findM4AIlstAtom: now tries moov>udta>meta>ilst first, then falls back
to moov>meta>ilst so files from Tidal/Qobuz/Apple Music are handled
- readM4AFreeformValue: 'name' atom payload is raw UTF-8 after 4-byte
flags, not a nested 'data' atom; fix reads it directly so ISRC/label
freeform tags are no longer silently dropped
Refactor extractLyricsFromM4A and extractCoverFromM4A to reuse the new
helpers (findM4AIlstAtom, readM4ADataAtomPayload) instead of duplicating
the atom traversal logic. Add extractAnyCoverArtWithHint M4A case that
previously returned a hardcoded 'not yet supported' error.
Tests for sanitizeSensitiveLogText, validateExtensionAuthURL,
validateDomain, and buildStoreExtensionDestPath are no longer
maintained alongside the main source and have been removed.
Use Unicode NFD decomposition to strip combining marks so variants like
"Özkent" and "Ozkent" are treated as equivalent. Apply the new helper
in both tidal.go and qobuz.go artistsMatch functions.
- Add dedicated long-timeout download client (24h) for extension file downloads,
preventing timeouts on large lossless audio files
- Skip unnecessary SongLink Deezer prelookup when an extension download provider
handles the track, reducing latency and avoiding spurious API failures
- Prefer native track ID over Spotify ID when a source/provider is set, ensuring
extension providers receive their own IDs correctly
- Update Qobuz MusicDL API endpoint and switch payload URL to open.qobuz.com
- Extract buildQobuzMusicDLPayload helper and add test coverage
SongLink can return incorrect track IDs (e.g. a different track from the
same album). Qobuz already had verification via qobuzTrackMatchesRequest.
This adds equivalent verification for Tidal and Deezer using a shared
trackMatchesRequest() helper in title_match_utils.go that checks artist,
title, and duration. Mismatched SongLink/ISRC results are now rejected
so the wrong audio is never embedded with Spotify metadata.
Add extractCoverFromM4A() that reads the covr atom from the MP4
box tree (moov/udta/meta/ilst/covr/data). Wire it into
ExtractCoverToFile so ALAC-to-FLAC conversion preserves cover art.
- Add _convertToAlac() and _convertToFlac() in ffmpeg_service with
single-pass FFmpeg encoding, metadata tags, and cover art embedding
- Wire lossless formats (ALAC, FLAC) into single-track convert sheet
with dynamic format list based on source format, hidden bitrate for
lossless targets, and lossless hint text
- Add lossless conversion to batch convert UI in downloaded_album,
local_album, and queue_tab screens with lossy-source filtering
- Fix M4A quality probe in Go backend: increase audio sample entry
buffer from 24 to 32 bytes, read sample rate from correct offset
(bytes 28-29) and bit depth from samplesize field (bytes 22-23)
- Add l10n keys for lossless confirm dialogs and hints (en, id)
- Identifier-first resolution (ISRC/Deezer/Spotify) before falling back to text search
- Score-based match selection via _metadataMatchScore instead of provider order
- Pass sourceTrackId from TrackMetadataScreen into _EditMetadataSheet
- Refactor buildDeezerExtendedMetadataResult and buildDeezerISRCSearchResult as testable helpers
- Add unit tests for buildDeezerExtendedMetadataResult and buildDeezerISRCSearchResult
- Propagate copyright through Deezer enrichment chain (exports, extension_providers)
- Add YouTubeQualityOpus320 constant and opus_320 parser case in Go backend
- Expand opus supported bitrates to [128, 256, 320] across Go, Dart settings, and UI
- Update default YouTube Opus option from 256 to 320kbps
- Remove Tidal HIGH (lossy 320kbps) quality from Go backend, settings model,
settings provider, download queue provider (both SAF and non-SAF paths),
settings UI (quality option, format picker, helper methods), and l10n keys
- Add settings migration v6: auto-migrate users with audioQuality=HIGH to LOSSLESS
- Update and add Go test cases for opus_320 and adjusted max bitrate
- Regenerate l10n files, remove 10 unused downloadLossy* l10n keys
- Add metadata provider search (Deezer/Tidal/Qobuz) in download pipeline for extension tracks with missing album/date/ISRC, using the same mechanism as ReEnrichFile
- Always pass enriched metadata (album, release_date, ISRC, cover_url, track/disc number) back in DownloadResponse so Flutter can embed them
- Add Deezer ISRC lookup for genre/label during download enrichment
- Extend _buildTrackForMetadataEmbedding to use ISRC, cover_url, album_artist from backend response
- Add Releases section support in artist page (Go + Flutter)
- Fix Track ID parsing to prefer non-empty native ID over empty spotify_id
- Paginate popular tracks (5 per page with swipe + dot indicators)
- Fix metadata screen: duration getter checks _editedMetadata, read album/duration from file tags
- Make metadata screen ID labels and Open-in buttons source-aware (Amazon/Tidal/Qobuz/Deezer/Spotify)
- Copy enrichment fields (AlbumName, DurationMS, CoverURL, AlbumArtist, ID) back to download request
- Update README badge, add network_requests.txt to gitignore
- Reduce polling interval from 800ms to 1200ms across download progress, library scan, and Android native stream
- Add dirty-flag caching to Go GetMultiProgress() to skip redundant JSON marshaling
- Replace eager provider initialization with staggered Timer-based warmup (400/900/1600ms)
- Add snapshot-based incremental library scan to avoid large MethodChannel payloads
- Move history stats and grouped album filtering to Riverpod providers for better cache invalidation
- Cap home tab history preview to 48 items with deep equality wrapper to reduce rebuilds
- Throttle foreground service notification updates to 2% progress buckets
- Migrate PageView to PageView.builder with AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin
- Add comparison table to README
Add set/get/clear store registry URL method channel handlers on Android,
iOS, and Go backend so users can configure a custom extension repository.
Store tab now shows a setup screen when no registry URL is configured,
with a cleaner layout (removed redundant description and helper text)
and visible TextField borders for dark theme.
Minor comment and formatting cleanups across several files.
- Add displayVersion getter using kDebugMode: debug shows 'Internal', release shows actual version
- Defer Spotify URL resolution in Deezer downloader until fallback is actually needed
- Unify download timeouts to 24h constant (connection-level timeouts still protect hung connections)
- Fix context shadowing in track metadata options menu and delete dialog
- Use addPostFrameCallback + mounted guards for safer sheet/dialog navigation
- Add fast-path SAF metadata reading via /proc/self/fd with displayNameHint support, falling back to temp copy
- Replace repeated findFile() CUE audio sibling lookups with cached case-insensitive directory listing
- Cache parsed CUE sheets to avoid redundant parsing during library scans
- Optimize incremental scan CUE modTime lookup from O(N*M) to O(N+M)
- Defer local library provider loading until localLibraryEnabled setting is true
- Replace O(n) track+artist history lookup with O(1) map-based lookup
- Delay startup maintenance tasks by 2s to reduce launch-time contention
Parse .cue files in library scanner (Go + SAF) to display individual
tracks instead of one large audio file. Add FFmpeg-based CUE splitting
to extract tracks into separate FLAC files with embedded metadata and
cover art.
- Go: CUE parser, two-pass scan (CUE first, skip referenced audio),
virtual paths (cue#trackNN) for DB UNIQUE constraint, audioDir
override for SAF temp-file scenarios
- Android: SAF scanner recognizes .cue in both full and incremental
scan, copies .cue+audio to temp for Go parsing, unchanged-CUE audio
sibling dedup, parseCueSheet handler resolves SAF audio siblings
- Dart: FFmpegService.splitCueToTracks, CUE split UI in track metadata
screen, persistent output dir for SAF splits with write-back
- CUE virtual path normalization across fileExists/fileStat/deleteFile/
openFile; play/share/open blocked for virtual tracks with guidance to
split first; delete only removes DB entry, not shared .cue file
- iOS: parseCueSheet handler
- Localization: 12 new CUE-related strings
Requested by @Seerafimm
Closes#201
Version rolled back from v4.x to v3.7.0. After extensive work on v4's
internal streaming engine, smart queue, DASH pipeline, and media controls,
we realized v3 was already feature-complete. Adding more big features
only made maintenance increasingly difficult and the developer's life
miserable. Stripped back to what works: external player only, cleaner
codebase, sustainable long-term.
- Remove just_audio, audio_service, audio_session and entire internal
playback engine (smart queue, notification, shuffle/repeat, prefetch)
- Remove PlaybackItem model, MiniPlayerBar widget, notification drawables
- Remove playerMode setting (external-only now)
- Migrate MainActivity from AudioServiceFragmentActivity to
FlutterFragmentActivity
- Migrate Qobuz to MusicDL API
- Update changelog with v3.7.0 rollback explanation
- Extract normalizeOptionalString() to lib/utils/string_utils.dart from download_queue_provider and track_metadata_screen
- Extract PrioritySettingsScaffold widget from lyrics and metadata priority pages, reducing ~280 lines of duplication
- Extract _ensureDefaultDocumentsOutputDir/_ensureDefaultAndroidMusicOutputDir in download queue provider
- Extract collectLibraryAudioFiles() and applyDefaultLibraryMetadata() in Go library_scan.go
- Extract plainTextLyricsLines() in Go lyrics.go, used by Apple Music, Musixmatch, and QQ Music clients
