New lyrics providers using Paxsenix API:
- Spotify: Synced lyrics from Spotify
- Deezer: Synced lyrics from Deezer
- YouTube: Lyrics from YouTube
- Kugou: Lyrics from Kugou (Chinese service)
- Genius: Plain text lyrics from Genius
Implementation:
- Add lyrics client implementations for all providers
- Smart search result scoring based on track name, artist, and duration
- Support for both synced (LRC) and unsynced lyrics formats
- Fallback search with simplified track names and primary artist
UI updates:
- Add provider entries to lyrics priority settings page
- Add display names for new providers in settings
The HIGH-quality lossy format picker can now produce an AAC/M4A 320 kbps output alongside MP3 and Opus. FFmpegService.convertM4aToLossy/convertAudioFormat, the Dart queue pipeline, the Kotlin finalizer, and the library database format helper all route .m4a through a unified aac codec path and tag the resulting file with the M4A metadata writer. The Lossy Format setting gains a new option, and the track metadata convert dialog lists AAC next to the other targets.
Apple Music lyrics gain a 'eLRC word sync' switch (default off). When disabled the pax-to-LRC formatter strips inline word timestamps, producing line-synced LRC that is safer for players that choke on eLRC; enabling it restores the previous word-by-word behaviour. The change propagates through SetLyricsFetchOptions and invalidates the global lyrics cache on toggle.
Broad l10n migration: roughly 400 previously hardcoded English strings across queue, settings, track metadata, repo, audio analysis, setup and extension screens now live in the ARB catalog, with matching plural/placeholder forms. No behaviour change beyond localisation. Existing and new unit tests (lyrics eLRC toggle and Dart settings round-trip) pass.
Introduce AppRemoteConfigService which fetches a platform/version/locale-aware JSON payload from api.zarz.moe/v1/spotiflac-mobile/config and caches it in SharedPreferences. main_shell shows a one-shot announcement dialog (respecting dismissible, CTA, time window and version gates) when no update prompt is pending; dismissed IDs are persisted so each announcement surfaces only once.
Tweaks bundled in: the service health dot loses its blur halo in favour of solid Material 3 tones, and AppInfo gains the remote config endpoint constant. The share listener and SAF migration hook stay synchronous inside the post-frame callback so share-intent URLs never race the network-bound checks.
New unit tests cover the announcement CTA/active-window rules.
Replace the full in-memory List<LocalLibraryItem> in LocalLibraryState
with a lightweight lookup index (ISRCs, matchKeys, filePathById) and
database-backed FutureProvider.family pagination providers.
Database changes:
- Add library schema v7 with normalized lookup columns (track_name_norm,
artist_name_norm, album_name_norm, album_artist_norm, match_key,
album_key) and corresponding indexes
- Backfill normalized columns on migration from v6
- Add getPage, getPageCount, getAlbumPage, getAlbumCount, getLookupIndex,
getCoverPaths, getByFilePath, findFirstByTrackAndArtist DB methods
Provider changes:
- LocalLibraryState no longer holds items list; uses totalCount and
loadedIndexVersion for change tracking
- Deprecate synchronous getByIsrc/findByTrackAndArtist (return null);
add async findExistingAsync, getByIsrcAsync, getById on notifier
- Add localLibraryPageProvider, localLibraryAlbumPageProvider,
localLibraryAllItemsProvider family providers for paginated access
- Add localLibraryCoverProvider and localLibraryFirstCoverProvider
for async cover path resolution from DB
Screen migrations:
- album/artist/playlist screens use findExistingAsync for playback
- library_tracks_folder_screen uses async cover providers and
existsInLibrary for local library indicator
- queue_tab watches localLibraryAllItemsProvider instead of state.items
- library_settings_page uses state.totalCount
- playback_provider uses findExistingAsync
Track metadata screen:
- Replace pushReplacement navigation with in-place state swap using
AnimatedSwitcher for smooth cross-fade transitions on track swipe
- Add metadataLoadGeneration counter to prevent stale async callbacks
- Reset all transient state (lyrics, cover, file check) on track change
All search, metadata, and download providers are now exclusively
supplied by extensions. The built-in provider registry that previously
exposed Deezer/Tidal/Qobuz as hardcoded providers is fully removed.
Removed across Go, Dart, Kotlin, and Swift:
- BuiltInProviderSpec class, registry, and all accessor helpers
- SearchProviderAllJSON, GetBuiltInProvidersJSON, ParseProviderURLJSON,
ParseDeezerURLExport Go exports and their platform channel bindings
- Built-in provider items in search dropdown, service picker, and
provider priority UI lists
- provider_ui_utils.dart helper file
Deezer metadata enrichment (ISRC lookup, extended metadata, cover
upgrade) remains fully functional through direct DeezerClient calls
in the download pipeline — these are not part of the provider
registry and are unaffected.
Mark deezer as a retired built-in metadata provider so stale user
priority lists are cleaned up on next launch.
Introduce a service-owned download worker that offloads the full
download-and-finalize pipeline to DownloadService on Android, keeping
downloads alive independently of the Flutter UI process.
Key changes:
- Extract SAF download logic from MainActivity into SafDownloadHandler

conversion, metadata embedding, ReplayGain, post-processing, and
history persistence

adoption on app restart, and fallback to Dart queue
- Forward embedReplayGain, tidalHighFormat, and postProcessingEnabled
through Go backend DownloadRequest struct
- Add nativeDownloadWorkerEnabled setting with UI toggle
- Make DownloadQueueLookup collections unmodifiable

- Remove ambiguous Auto/Default search provider option, always resolve to concrete provider
- Add tests for shouldAbortCancelledFallback and progress status transitions
Remove Tidal from built-in provider registry (metadata, search, download,
URL parsing) and delete tidal.go. Introduce extension runtime APIs for
lyrics lookup (getLyricsLRC), ISRC existence check (checkISRCExists), and
ISRC index management (addToISRCIndex). Refactor extension download response
construction into normalizeExtensionDownloadResult/overlayExtensionDownloadMetadata
helpers with AlreadyExists support and ISRC indexing. Switch download mirrors
to DoRequestWithUserAgent for ISP blocking detection. Add 50+ new
localization keys and accessibility labels across all supported locales.
Replace hardcoded Tidal/Qobuz switch/case with builtInProviderSpec registry
pattern. Unify searchTidalAll/searchQobuzAll into searchProviderAll,
getDeezerMetadata/getTidalMetadata/getQobuzMetadata into getProviderMetadata,
and parseDeezerUrl/parseQobuzUrl/parseTidalUrl into parseProviderUrl. Remove
extension-specific getAlbum/Playlist/ArtistWithExtension in favor of generic
getProviderMetadata routing. Extract provider UI helpers into
provider_ui_utils.dart. Preserve track_number fallback for zero-value
TrackNumber in album/playlist track lists.
- Add reference-counted cancel entries to prevent premature cleanup when multiple operations share the same itemID
- Propagate cancellation to DownloadTrack, DownloadWithFallback, DownloadWithExtensionsJSON, extension providers, and ISRC search
- Fetch album artist from MusicBrainz when missing during download and re-enrich
- Make ALBUMARTIST tag nullable to avoid writing artistName as album artist
- Add home feed 'Off' option in extension settings
- Skip deezer in download provider priority sanitization
- Add monochrome.tf and samidy.com Tidal API mirrors
- Guarantee resolvedProvider is never null by defaulting to 'tidal'
- Replace stale 'Deezer' default label with 'Tidal' (Deezer moved to extension)

ReplayGain (track + album):
- Scan track loudness via FFmpeg ebur128 filter (-18 LUFS reference)
- Duration-weighted power-mean for album gain computation
- Support for FLAC (native Vorbis), MP3 (ID3v2 TXXX), Opus, M4A
- Album RG auto-finalizes when all album tracks complete
- Retryable gate: blocks finalization while failed/skipped items exist

APEv2 tag support:
- Full APEv2 reader/writer with header+items+footer format
- Merge-based editing with override keys for explicit deletions
- Binary cover art embedding (Cover Art (Front) item)
- Library scanner support for .ape/.wv/.mpc files
- ReplayGain fields in APE read/write/edit pipeline
Bug fixes (26):
- setArtistComments wiping fields on empty string value
- APEv2 rewrite corrupting files with ID3v1 trailer
- APE edit replacing entire tag instead of merging
- ReplayGain lost on manual MP3/Opus/M4A metadata edit
- Editor metadata save losing custom tags (preserveMetadata)
- Album RG accumulator not cleaned on queue mutation
- Album gain using unweighted mean instead of power-mean
- writeAlbumReplayGainTags return value silently ignored
- SAF album RG writing to deleted temp path
- Cancelled tracks polluting album gain computation
- APE ReplayGain not wired end-to-end
- APE field deletion not working in merge
- APE cover edit was a no-op
- Album RG duplicate entries on retry
- APE apeKeysFromFields missing track/disc/lyrics mappings
- Album RG entries purged by removeItem before computation
- FFmpeg converters discarding empty metadata values
- _appendVorbisArtistEntries skipping empty value (null vs empty)
- Album RG write-back fails for SAF lossy files
- Album RG partial finalization on failed tracks
- FLAC ClearEmpty flag destroying tags on partial callers
- clearCompleted not retriggering album RG checks
- ReadFileMetadata MP3/Ogg missing label and copyright

- dart:math log shadowed by logger.dart export
Resolve API (api.zarz.moe):
- Refactor songlink.go: Spotify URLs use resolve API, non-Spotify uses SongLink API
- Add SongLink fallback when resolve API fails for Spotify (two-layer resilience)
- Remove dead code: page parser, XOR-obfuscated keys, legacy helpers
Multi-artist tag fix (#288):
- Add RewriteSplitArtistTags() in Go to rewrite ARTIST/ALBUMARTIST as split Vorbis comments

- Extract deezerTrackArtistDisplay() helper to use Contributors in album/playlist tracks
Code cleanup:
- Remove unused imports, dead code, and redundant comments across Go and Dart

Add singleFilenameFormat setting so singles/EPs can use a different filename template than albums. The format editor is reused with custom title/description. Dart selects the correct format based on track.isSingle before passing to Go, so no backend changes needed. Also fix isSingle getter to include all EPs regardless of totalTracks. Closes#271
- Delete dead metadata client and extract shared types to metadata_types.go
- Remove Yoinkify download fallback from Deezer, use MusicDL only
- Clean up retired settings fields and metadataSource
- Remove dead l10n keys for retired provider
- Add migration to strip retired provider from existing users' lyrics config
- Fix M4A/ALAC scan silently failing on Samsung by adding proper fallback
to scanFromFilename when ReadM4ATags fails (consistent with MP3/FLAC/Ogg)
- Propagate displayNameHint to all format scanners so fd numbers (214, 207)
no longer appear as track names when /proc/self/fd/ paths are used
- Cache /proc/self/fd/ readability in Kotlin to skip failed attempts after
first failure, reducing error log noise and improving scan speed on Samsung
- Fix Qobuz download returning wrong album cover when track exists on
multiple albums by preferring req.CoverURL over API default
- Fix FFmpeg M4A metadata save failing with 'codec not currently supported
in container' by forcing mp4 muxer instead of ipod when cover art present
- Clean up FLAC SAF temp file after metadata write-back (was leaking)
- Update LRC lyrics tag to credit Paxsenix API
- Remove log message truncation, defer to UI preview truncation instead
- Add artist_tag_mode setting (joined / split_vorbis) for FLAC/Opus multi-artist tags
- Split 'Artist A, Artist B' into separate ARTIST= Vorbis comments when split mode is enabled
- Join repeated ARTIST/ALBUMARTIST Vorbis comments when reading metadata
- Propagate artistTagMode through download pipeline, re-enrich, and metadata editor
- Improve library scan progress: separate polling intervals, finalizing state, indeterminate progress
- Add initial progress snapshot on library scan stream connect
- Use req.ArtistName consistently for Qobuz downloads instead of track.Performer.Name
- Add l10n keys for artist tag mode, library files unit, and scan finalizing status
Move hardcoded UI strings across multiple screens and the notification
service into ARB-backed l10n keys so they can be translated via Crowdin.
Adds 62 new keys covering sort labels, dialog copy, metadata error
snackbars, folder-picker errors, home-tab error states, extensions home
feed selector, and all notification titles/bodies. NotificationService
now caches an AppLocalizations instance (injected from MainShell via
didChangeDependencies) and falls back to English literals when no locale
is available.
Third-party extensions (e.g. Spotify PKCE addons) need three things the current app does not fully provide:
Extension button results – The Go runtime returned { success, result: { message, open_auth_url, … } } while Flutter read message / open_auth_url only on the outer map, so OAuth buttons appeared to do nothing. InvokeAction now merges the extension’s return object onto the top-level JSON (arrays/non-objects still use result).
Flutter – extension_detail_page: unwrap nested result for compatibility, merge setting_updates into saved extension settings (for copyable OAuth URLs), and launchUrl when open_auth_url is set.
Mobile OAuth return – spotiflac://callback?code=…&state=<extension_id> was not handled on Android (manifest + MainActivity) or iOS (AppDelegate open URL + cold-start launchOptions). This wires SetExtensionAuthCodeByID + invokeExtensionAction(..., "completeSpotifyLogin") so PKCE extensions can finish login after the browser redirect.
Extension store HTTP – Add Cache-Control: no-cache on registry and extension package downloads to reduce stale CDN/proxy responses.
Testing: Install a metadata extension that uses PKCE; tap Connect; confirm browser opens, return via spotiflac://callback, and tokens complete without pasting the code manually.
extension InvokeAction JSON was nested under result while the Flutter settings UI only read the top level, so OAuth-related buttons never showed messages or opened the browser. This PR flattens that payload, merges optional setting_updates, launches open_auth_url, adds spotiflac://callback handling on Android and iOS, and sends no-cache on store HTTP fetches. Needed for extensions like SpoitiLists (Spotify Web API + PKCE).
Enable strict-casts, strict-inference, and strict-raw-types in
analysis_options.yaml. Add custom_lint with riverpod_lint. Fix all
resulting type warnings with explicit type parameters and safer casts.
Also improves APK update checker to detect device ABIs for correct
variant selection and fixes Deezer artist name parsing edge case.
