Add a pair of floating quick-scroll buttons on the library tab so long lists become easier to navigate. The buttons sit above the bottom navigation (or the selection toolbar in selection mode), fade in and out based on the active page's scroll metrics, and share their scroll-target keys per filter mode so switching filters does not carry over the previous page's scroll state.
Downloads from providers that stream FLAC inside an fMP4 container (e.g. Amazon Music) were being written to disk with a .flac extension while the payload still carried ISO-BMFF atoms. The container-conversion guard then saw codec=flac and skipped the remux, leaving native FLAC tag writers to fail with 'fLaC head incorrect'.
Force '-f flac' on the decryption command whenever the target extension is .flac so FFmpeg emits a real FLAC stream, and add an 'fLaC' magic-byte probe on both the Dart and Kotlin container-conversion guards so a FLAC-in-MP4 source is remuxed rather than silently passed through as a tag-writer hazard.
The native-worker container conversion used to remux any .m4a download to .flac whenever the user requested a FLAC output, which silently upgraded lossy AAC streams to a FLAC container without adding any information. Guard the remux with an FFmpeg/FFprobe codec probe on both the Dart and Kotlin finalization paths so only genuinely lossless sources (ALAC, WavPack, PCM, etc.) are converted, and expose a requires_container_conversion capability so extensions can force conversion when they know the source is lossless.
When the native worker result advertises a requested non-FLAC output extension (for example '.m4a'), skip the m4a-to-flac container conversion in both the Dart and Kotlin finalizers so the native output container is preserved end-to-end.
- ffmpeg_service: propagate the top-level 'output_extension' hint into the download-result descriptor for both the map-backed and legacy paths; expose a normalized getter for consistent comparisons.
- download_queue_provider: short-circuit the native-worker container-conversion step when the descriptor's requested extension is not '.flac', with a debug log describing the skip.
- NativeDownloadFinalizer: mirror the guard on the Kotlin side so the finalizer does not force a container conversion that would clobber the requested native output.
Prevent premature 'downloading' status before actual byte transfer
starts, and cache async provider values to avoid UI flicker during
queue library reloads.
Progress pipeline:
- StartItemProgress now initializes with 'preparing' status instead
of 'downloading'
- SetItemProgress ignores synthetic pre-download progress updates
while status is still 'preparing' (no byte data yet)
- DownloadService reads backend status field and propagates preparing/
downloading/finalizing to native worker item snapshot
- Dart progress stream maps 'preparing' to DownloadStatus.downloading
with progress 0.0 (indeterminate spinner)
Queue tab:
- Add _queueLibraryCountsCache and _queueLibraryPageDataCache to
retain last successful data during FutureProvider refetches
- Prevents empty-state flash when loadedIndexVersion bumps trigger
provider invalidation
- Caches trimmed to max 24 entries via FIFO eviction
Replace in-memory list merging in the queue tab with fully database-
backed pagination using ATTACH DATABASE to join library and history
tables in a single UNION ALL query.
Queue tab:
- Remove localLibraryAllItemsProvider and _queueHistoryStatsProvider
- Add _queueLibraryPageProvider and _queueLibraryCountsProvider backed
by LibraryDatabase.getQueueTrackPage/getQueueCounts/getQueueAlbumPage
- Implement infinite scroll via _handleLibraryScrollNotification with
_libraryPageLimit growing by 300 per batch
- Album/single/total counts computed via SQL GROUP BY aggregates
History database (v5 -> v8):
- v6: add idx_history_track_artist index
- v7: add history_path_keys table for cross-DB dedup, backfill from
existing rows
- v8: add spotify_id_norm, isrc_norm, match_key normalized columns
with indexes, backfill from existing data
- Add getAlbumTracks, findByTrackAndArtist, getGroupedCounts,
existsTrack, findExistingTrack, existingTrackKeys batch lookup
- deleteBySpotifyId now returns deleted count for accurate totalCount
- All write paths maintain history_path_keys consistency
Library database (v7 -> v8):
- v8: add library_path_keys table for cross-DB dedup
- Add getQueueTrackPage, getQueueCounts, getQueueAlbumPage with
ATTACH DATABASE for cross-DB UNION ALL queries
- Dedup local items against history via path_keys JOIN
- All write/delete paths maintain library_path_keys consistency
Download history provider:
- Load only 100 recent items into state.items at startup
- Store lookupItems as immutable List field instead of recomputing
from maps on every access
- Add async fallback to DB in _putInMemoryHistory for items outside
the 100-item window
- Add downloadHistoryPageProvider, downloadHistoryGroupedCountsProvider,
downloadedAlbumTracksProvider, downloadHistoryBatchExistsProvider
- Add catchError to adoptNativeHistoryItem async block
- Fix removeBySpotifyId to query actual DB count instead of decrement
Screen migrations:
- album/artist/playlist/home screens use async DB lookups instead of
sync in-memory state for track existence and playback resolution
- downloaded_album_screen uses downloadedAlbumTracksProvider
- library_tracks_folder_screen uses downloadHistoryBatchExistsProvider
for skip-downloaded checks and cover resolution
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
Long track names (especially CJK/emoji) could exceed filesystem limits
when used as SAF document display names, causing write failures.
- Add truncateUtf8Bytes in Go, Kotlin (MainActivity + SafDownloadHandler),
and Dart to truncate strings at valid UTF-8 codepoint boundaries
- Limit SAF filenames to 180 UTF-8 bytes (preserving file extension)
- Limit SAF directory segments to 120 UTF-8 bytes
- Fix Go sanitizeFilename to use UTF-8 aware truncation instead of
byte slice which could split multi-byte characters
- Add Go test for multi-byte truncation correctness
- Sanitize SAF relative directory in Dart native worker and regular
download paths via _sanitizeSafRelativeDir
UI and UX improvements across the library and queue screens.
- Add pinch-to-zoom for library grid views with animated extent
transitions via _AnimatedLibrarySliverGrid widget
- Replace fixed grid column count with responsive maxCrossAxisExtent
- Add smooth fade-in for cover images (local files via frameBuilder,
network via CachedCoverImage fadeInDuration/fadeOutDuration params)
- Refactor track metadata swipe navigation from push+pop to
pushReplacement to prevent route stack accumulation
- Convert adjacentHorizontalPageRoute to MaterialPageRoute subclass
to support pushReplacement with proper transition semantics
- Add five new metadata completeness filters: missing track number,
missing disc number, missing artist, incorrect ISRC format, and
missing label
- Expose trackNumber, discNumber, isrc, and label on
UnifiedLibraryItem for filter support
- Tighten metadata completeness definition to include all new fields
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 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

through Go backend DownloadRequest struct
- Add nativeDownloadWorkerEnabled setting with UI toggle
- Make DownloadQueueLookup collections unmodifiable
