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.
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.
- Replace hardcoded provider prefix checks with resolveEffectiveMetadataProvider using replacesBuiltInProviders manifest capability
- Add preparing/downloading/finalizing progress status constants and SetItemPreparing/SetItemDownloading APIs
- Expose setDownloadStatus to extension JS runtime for fine-grained progress control
- Skip lyrics search for instrumental tracks detected by title heuristic
- Pass tidal/qobuz IDs to extension checkAvailability for richer matching
- Add shouldAbortCancelledFallback helper for robust cancellation propagation
- Add resolvePreferredTrackIDForExtension for intelligent track ID selection per extension
- Remove ambiguous Auto/Default search provider option, always resolve to concrete provider
- Add tests for shouldAbortCancelledFallback and progress status transitions
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
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.
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.
- Add responsive scaling across album, artist, playlist, downloaded album, local album, queue, setup, and tutorial screens to prevent overflow on smaller devices
- Add new Storage & Cache management page (Settings > Storage & Cache) with per-category clear and cleanup actions
- Extract normalizedHeaderTopPadding utility for consistent app bar padding
- Improve home search Recent Access behavior: show when focused with empty input, hide stale results during active recent mode
- Add excluded-downloaded-count tracking to local library scan stats
- Add recentEmpty and recentShowAllDownloads l10n keys (EN + ID)
- Add full cache management l10n keys (EN + ID)
- Fix about_page indentation and formatting consistency
- Fix appearance_settings_page formatting
- Fix downloaded_album_screen and local_album_screen formatting and responsive sizing
- Add PopScope with canPop:true to all settings pages for predictive back gesture support
- Change settings navigation to use PageRouteBuilder instead of MaterialPageRoute
- Add album folder structure setting (artist_album vs album_only)
- Fix extension search result parsing to handle both array and object formats
- Update CHANGELOG
Fixes back gesture freeze issue on OnePlus and other Android 13+ devices with gesture navigation
- Add extension manager, manifest, runtime, providers, settings
- Add extension provider and UI pages (extensions, detail, priority)
- Add download service picker widget
- Add metadata provider priority page
- Add source field to Track model for extension tracking
- Add skipBuiltInFallback manifest option to skip built-in providers
- Update download queue to use source extension first
- Add extension upgrade support without data loss
