- 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
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.
- 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
Add FFmpegService.embedMetadataToM4a() for writing tags and cover art
into M4A files via FFmpeg. Fix two bugs in the same function:
- Remove '-disposition:v:0 attached_pic' which is only valid for
Matroska/WebM containers and causes FFmpeg to error on MP4/M4A
- Apply same fix to _convertToAlac which had the identical issue
Add M4A handling (isM4A branch) to all four embed call-sites:
track_metadata_screen (lyrics embed, re-enrich, edit metadata sheet,
format conversion), queue_tab, local_album_screen, and
downloaded_album_screen.
Add 'LYRICS'/'UNSYNCEDLYRICS' to _mapMetadataForTagEmbed so existing
lyrics survive a re-enrich cycle on M4A/MP3/Opus files.
Preserve existing lyrics before overwriting tags in the edit metadata
sheet (best-effort readFileMetadata before FFmpeg pass).
Extract mergePlatformMetadataForTagEmbed() into lyrics_metadata_helper
to deduplicate the identical metadata-mapping loops that existed in
queue_tab, local_album_screen, downloaded_album_screen, and
track_metadata_screen.
Wire ensureLyricsMetadataForConversion into the format conversion path
in track_metadata_screen so lyrics are carried through conversions.
Add ISRC and LABEL/ORGANIZATION mappings to _convertToM4aTags.
Exclude same-format and lossy-to-lossless targets from the batch
convert sheet so users cannot pick pointless conversions like
FLAC→FLAC. Also clean up redundant inline comments.
- Use -map_metadata 0 instead of -map_metadata -1 so FFmpeg copies and
auto-remaps source tags (M4A/ID3 → Vorbis comments) as a base
- Add _normalizeToVorbisComments() to filter technical fields (BIT_DEPTH,
SAMPLE_RATE, DURATION) and normalize key variations to standard Vorbis
comment names before applying overrides
- Switch cover art embedding from METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE base64 (unreliable
on Android due to command-line length limits) to -i cover -map 1:v
-disposition attached_pic (same proven approach as embedMetadata and
_convertToAlac)
- Drop zero-value track/disc numbers from override map to prevent
clobbering source metadata with '0' from Go readFileMetadata
- Add _convertToAlac() and _convertToFlac() in ffmpeg_service with
single-pass FFmpeg encoding, metadata tags, and cover art embedding
- Wire lossless formats (ALAC, FLAC) into single-track convert sheet
with dynamic format list based on source format, hidden bitrate for
lossless targets, and lossless hint text
- Add lossless conversion to batch convert UI in downloaded_album,
local_album, and queue_tab screens with lossy-source filtering
- Fix M4A quality probe in Go backend: increase audio sample entry
buffer from 24 to 32 bytes, read sample rate from correct offset
(bytes 28-29) and bit depth from samplesize field (bytes 22-23)
- Add l10n keys for lossless confirm dialogs and hints (en, id)
Add LocalTrackRedownloadService with confidence-scored metadata matching
(ISRC, title, artist, album, duration, track/disc number, year) to find
reliable online matches for locally-stored tracks.
Wire up 'Queue FLAC' selection action in both local_album_screen and
queue_tab (library tab). Shows progress snackbar during resolution,
skips ambiguous or low-confidence matches, and reports results.
Add Indonesian (id) translations for all queueFlac l10n keys.
- 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.
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

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,

only made maintenance increasingly difficult and the developer's life
miserable. Stripped back to what works: external player only, cleaner
codebase, sustainable long-term.
