The playlist import picker now also accepts .m3u/.m3u8; EXTINF entries
feed the same Deezer enrichment pipeline as CSV. Collection screens
(wishlist, loved, playlists) gain an export action that resolves each
track to its local file, writes SAF entries relative to the download
tree root so external players and DAP copies resolve them, skips
tracks without a file, and shares the .m3u8 via the system sheet.
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
Audio Analysis Enhancements:
- Display codec name and container format
- Show decoded sample format (s16, s32, fltp, etc.)
- Add LUFS integrated loudness measurement (broadcast standard)
- Add true peak measurement (dBTP)
- Detect and count clipping samples per channel
- Estimate spectral cutoff frequency (helps detect fake upscales)
- Show per-channel statistics (Peak, RMS, DR, Clip count)
UI Improvements:
- MetricChip now handles long text with ellipsis
- Constrained max width for better layout
Cache version bumped to 4 to force rescan with new metrics.
- Replace inline format detection with convertibleAudioSourceFormat()
- Replace inline conversion rules with canConvertAudioFormat()
- Add unit tests for Dolby format detection and conversion rules
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.
The SAF and local post-download branches used to rush an ffmpeg 'M4A to FLAC' remux whenever the output extension was .flac, which silently upscaled AAC or EAC3 streams into a lossless container. Each branch now mirrors the native worker by probing the primary audio codec before converting: lossless sources (and true FLAC-in-MP4 files) stay in their native container with the right extension, while genuine ALAC/WAV payloads still get remuxed.
Add an outputExt field to DownloadRequestPayload so the Go backend always knows the user-requested container, and use it together with _shouldRequestContainerConversion to pick the right behaviour for shouldPreserveNativeM4a and the Kotlin finalizer. Decryption descriptors no longer force M4A preservation on their own; the codec probe already makes that call correctly.
Replace full-queue snapshot writes on every progress tick with a
lightweight delta mode that only includes the active item.
- Progress tick (1s loop) now writes item_delta with only the
active item instead of serializing the entire queue
- Full compact_items snapshots are reserved for important events:
start, pause/resume/cancel, item boundaries, finish, and
service stop/destroy
- Compact items omit large static fields (item_json, track_name,
artist_name) that Dart already has from queue restore
- Snapshot always carries item_ids for adoption correlation
- Dart-side _applyAndroidNativeWorkerSnapshot handles item_delta
as a single-item fallback when items array is absent
- Dart-side _tryAdoptAndroidNativeWorkerSnapshot reads item_ids
as fallback when items is not present
- Add deferred SAF publish: native worker writes to cache, runs
all finalization locally, then publishes once to SAF at the end
- Forward defer_saf_publish through DownloadRequestPayload
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
- Add NativeDownloadFinalizer for Kotlin-side decryption, format
conversion, metadata embedding, ReplayGain, post-processing, and
history persistence
- Extend DownloadService with native queue management (start, pause,
resume, cancel) using coroutine-based worker with AtomicFile snapshots
- Add Dart-side orchestration: snapshot polling, run-id correlation,
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
- Add 16 Go supplement test files covering extension runtime, providers,
health checks, lyrics, metadata, HTTP utils, library scan, and more
- Add Dart model/utils test suite (test/models_and_utils_test.dart)
- Update settings.g.dart with deduplicateDownloads serialization
