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
Empty the builtInProviderRegistry now that all built-in providers are
retired. Introduce isRetiredBuiltInDownloadProvider and
isRetiredBuiltInMetadataProvider to classify deezer/qobuz/tidal/spotify
as retired, replacing ad-hoc string checks. Add Dart-side metadata
provider priority reconciliation that replaces retired providers with
extensions declaring replacesBuiltInProviders. Remove getQobuzMetadata
from native bridges and platform_bridge.dart. Update crowdin.yml with
additional locale mappings.
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
- Bump app version to 4.3.0 (build 125)
- Extract createOrReuseDocumentFile() to handle SAF auto-rename races
between findFile() and createFile(), preferring the exact-named sibling
and discarding duplicate documents
- Bind cancel context to all extension HTTP calls (fetch, httpGet, httpPost,
httpRequest, fileDownload, authExchangeCodeWithPKCE) so in-flight requests
are aborted when user cancels a download
- Make initDownloadCancel idempotent: return existing context if entry already
exists and preserve pre-cancelled state
- Force SAF output filename to match actual file extension when extension
returns a different format than requested (e.g. FLAC requested but M4A produced)
- Map ALAC/AAC quality to .m4a instead of falling through to default .flac
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
- Wire method channel handler in Android (MainActivity.kt) and iOS (AppDelegate.swift)
- Add PlatformBridge.rewriteSplitArtistTags() in Dart
- Call native FLAC rewriter after FFmpeg embed when split_vorbis mode is active
- Extract deezerTrackArtistDisplay() helper to use Contributors in album/playlist tracks
Code cleanup:
- Remove unused imports, dead code, and redundant comments across Go and Dart
- Fix build: remove stale getQobuzDebugKey() reference in deezer_download.go
- 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
- Introduce coverCacheKey parameter through Go backend and Kotlin bridge for stable SAF cover caching
- Add MetadataFromFilename flag to skip filename-only metadata and retry via temp-file copy
- Add Qobuz album-search fallback between API search and store scraping
- Extract buildReEnrichFFmpegMetadata to skip empty metadata fields
- Add metadata completeness filter (complete, missing year/genre/album artist)
- Add sort modes: artist, album, release date, genre (asc/desc)
- Prune stale library cover cache files after full scan
- Skip empty values and zero track/disc numbers in FFmpeg metadata
- Add new l10n keys for metadata filter and sort options
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.
- 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 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
- Generate stable SHA-1 based IDs for SAF-scanned library items to prevent null ID crashes on the Dart side
- Suppress false queue-complete notification when user pauses instead of finishing the queue, and break out of parallel loop immediately when paused with no active downloads
- Use SQLite as the single source of truth for library scan results to fix a race condition where auto-scan could fire before provider state finished loading, dropping unchanged rows
- 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 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
