The es/pt/zh base locales still shipped the old Store labels, the
backup-restore hint said 'from the store' in every locale (boutique
in fr, store loanword in ko), and the Go store lookup error said
'not found in store'. All user-visible surfaces now say repo;
translator descriptions in the template updated to match.
1,303 stale entries dropped across 19 locales (largest groups:
Spotify credentials flow, collection playlists, notification
channels, backup strings); generated localizations rebuilt.
Crowdin sources need a resync after this lands.
Add a localized description header and Material 3 styling (rounded
corners, scrollable layout, surface color) to the album folder structure
picker in Files settings.
- Rename downloadProviderMatchesBuiltIn -> downloadProviderReplacesLegacyProvider
- Rename Tidal DASH ffmpeg helpers and lossy format pickers to generic names
- Add utils.decryptCTRSegments crypto API + raw/bytes file read path in extension runtime
- Update l10n strings/descriptions to drop hardcoded service names
- Bump version to 4.5.7+134
The download API only permits one request at a time, so parallel
downloads are removed to avoid wasted/blocked API calls. Downloads
now always run sequentially (one track at a time).
- Drop concurrentDownloads from AppSettings + JSON serialization
- Remove setConcurrentDownloads and the settings UI (1-5 chips + warning)
- Strip optionsConcurrent* l10n keys from all ARBs and regenerate
- Rework queue worker into _processQueueSequential (single active download)
- Update marketing copy and adjust tests
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 audio analysis card used to read from a persistent cache but offered no way to refresh the result when the underlying file had been re-downloaded at a different quality (for example, re-downloading a track as FLAC after capturing it as AAC). Add an explicit rescan control that clears the cached JSON + spectrogram, reruns the FFmpeg probe and analysis pipeline, and swaps in the fresh data while keeping the loading copy distinct from first-run analysis. A retry button is also exposed in the error card so transient failures do not require navigating away.
All audio_analysis strings now have a Re-analyze / Re-analyzing pair in the ARB catalog so every locale can translate them independently.
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.
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
