Add [[bin]] section to Cargo.toml so cargo produces target/release/qbz
directly. Update all packaging references (workflows, PKGBUILD, Flatpak
manifest, AUR desktop file) to use the new binary name. This fixes DEB
and RPM packages installing the binary as /usr/bin/qbz-nix instead of
/usr/bin/qbz.
Extract casting functionality (Chromecast, AirPlay, DLNA) to standalone
qbz-cast crate. This crate is Tauri-agnostic and can be used by TUI/CLI
clients.
- Move device connection, discovery, threading, and media server to crate
- Keep only Tauri commands in src-tauri/src/cast/
- Thin re-exports in src-tauri for backwards compatibility
- Remove duplicate dependencies from src-tauri Cargo.toml
Create qbz-library crate with:
- LibraryScanner: directory scanning for audio files
- MetadataExtractor: audio metadata extraction via lofty
- LibraryDatabase: SQLite persistence with WAL mode
- CueParser: CUE sheet parsing for single-file albums
- Thumbnails: artwork extraction and thumbnail generation
- Tag sidecar: album metadata override files
src-tauri re-exports from qbz-library for backwards compatibility.
Enables TUI/headless clients to manage local libraries without Tauri.
Create qbz-cache crate with:
- AudioCache: L1 in-memory LRU cache (~300MB)
- PlaybackCache: L2 disk-based cache (~500MB)
- LRU eviction with spillover from L1 to L2
src-tauri now re-exports from qbz-cache for backwards compatibility.
This enables TUI/headless clients to use caching without Tauri.
Wire qbz-integrations to src-tauri Cargo.toml. The crate provides
Tauri-independent implementations of Last.fm, ListenBrainz, and
MusicBrainz integrations.
Next step: Create V2 commands that use the new crate, then gradually
deprecate the existing in-tree implementations.
Add dependencies on extracted crates and create TauriAdapter.
Changes:
- Add qbz-models, qbz-audio, qbz-player, qbz-qobuz, qbz-core as deps
- Add async-trait dependency for FrontendAdapter impl
- Create tauri_adapter.rs implementing FrontendAdapter
- TauriAdapter emits CoreEvents to frontend via Tauri event system
This is the first step of integration. The old modules still exist
but the new crates are now available for gradual migration.
Changes since 1.1.13:
- Fix MPRIS dbus name to use appid (Flathub compliance)
- Fix SQLite WAL mode for all connections (UI lag fix)
- Add volume +/- step buttons in player bar
- Add playlist search in sidebar with folder auto-expand
- New playlist collage layout (3+1 grid)
Developer settings: SQLite-backed store for force_dmabuf toggle.
Logging: TeeWriter captures env_logger output to ring buffer;
log_startup() captures pre-logger startup messages.
Upload: multipart POST to 0x0.st for log sharing.
CLI: --reset-dmabuf flag resets force_dmabuf and exits for recovery.
Replace static ReplayGain-only normalization with real-time loudness
analysis that works with any audio source including Qobuz streams.
New components:
- DynamicAmplify: Source wrapper that reads gain from shared atomic
with 50ms linear ramp to prevent clicks on gain changes
- AnalyzerTap: Source wrapper that batches samples and sends them
to the analyzer thread via bounded channel (never blocks audio)
- LoudnessAnalyzer: Background thread computing EBU R128 integrated
LUFS, first measurement at ~10s, refinement every ~5s
- LoudnessCache: SQLite persistence for computed LUFS values so
replayed tracks get instant gain application
Pipeline when normalization ON:
Decode -> Diagnostic -> AnalyzerTap -> DynamicAmplify -> Visualizer
Pipeline when normalization OFF (bit-perfect, unchanged):
Decode -> Diagnostic -> Visualizer
Re-enable normalization toggle in NowPlayingBar UI.
Security improvements based on code review:
1. Credential Encryption (Critical)
- Replace XOR obfuscation with AES-256-GCM encryption
- Derive key from machine ID (tied to specific machine)
- Add migration support for legacy XOR format
- Automatic re-encryption on first load of legacy credentials
2. HTTPS Default (Medium)
- Change default `secure` setting to `true` for new installs
- Existing users keep their current setting
3. Configurable CORS Origins (High)
- Replace hardcoded domain whitelist with SQLite-backed storage
- Default origins: vicrodh.github.io, control.qbz.lol
- Add commands: get/add/remove origins, restore defaults
- Origins can be customized for third-party clients
- Server restarts automatically when origins change
New dependencies:
- aes-gcm: AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption
- sha2: SHA-256 for key derivation
Add /api/events endpoint using Server-Sent Events (SSE) as a more
efficient alternative to WebSocket for pushing playback state updates
to PWA clients. SSE provides automatic reconnection and is simpler
to implement on the client side.
- Add tokio-stream dependency with sync feature for BroadcastStream
- Implement sse_handler with 15s keep-alive ping
- Keep /api/ws for backwards compatibility
When comparing "X" vs "The X" variants, now fetches actual albums
and counts only studio albums (main discography) instead of total
album count. This filters out:
- Tributes (albums by other artists)
- Compilations (greatest hits, best of)
- Unofficial releases (bootlegs, broadcasts)
- Live albums
- EPs and singles
Uses the same categorization logic as the frontend (qobuzAdapters.ts).
This provides cleaner matching, e.g., "The Beatles" with 200+ studio
albums vs "Beatles" tribute compilation with 2 albums.
- Update version to 1.1.6-rc for release candidate testing
- Add Linux ARM64/aarch64 build workflow
- Uses ubuntu-24.04-arm GitHub runner (free for public repos)
- Builds .deb, .rpm, .AppImage, and AUR tarball for ARM64
- Workflow isolated with continue-on-error to not block x86_64 builds
Previous implementation had a critical bug in the shuffle algorithm
that used the same seed value for all iterations, resulting in
weak/predictable shuffling.
Changes:
- Add rand crate dependency for proper PRNG
- Fix Fisher-Yates to use unique random value per iteration
- Use StdRng with timestamp-based seed for reproducible randomness
- Each shuffle iteration now gets a new random number from the RNG
This fixes shuffle working inconsistently across different contexts
(albums, playlists, continuous play).
cc
- Add alsa 0.9 as Linux-only dependency
- Will replace CPAL-based ALSA backend with direct alsa-rs implementation
- Required to properly access hw:X,Y devices for bit-perfect playback
Backend changes:
- Add audio_diagnostics module to read actual hardware sample rate from /proc/asound
- New command get_hardware_audio_status() parses hw_params for real-time monitoring
- Add glob dependency for file pattern matching
Frontend (AudioOutputBadges):
- Implement 3-state DAC badge system:
- Green: DAC passthrough working correctly (rates match)
- Yellow: DAC passthrough ON but resampling detected (warning)
- Gray: DAC passthrough OFF (intentionally disabled)
- Dynamic tooltips showing actual hardware sample rate
- Compare file sample rate vs hardware sample rate
- Increase tooltip z-index to 9999 to prevent occlusion issues
- Add pointer-events: none to tooltip to prevent interaction issues
Frontend (SettingsView):
- Replace hardcoded "192 kHz" with dynamic hardware sample rate
- Load and display actual hardware audio status
- Show format details (e.g., S32_LE) when available
- Display "No active playback" when no audio is playing
- Add muted styling for inactive state
Frontend (QualityBadge):
- Add native tooltip showing tier and format
- Add cursor: help to indicate interactivity
i18n:
- Add "noActivePlayback" translations (EN/ES)
This allows users to verify bit-perfect playback is working and detect
resampling issues that would compromise audio quality.
L1 (Memory): 300MB for ~3-4 Hi-Res tracks, instant access
L2 (Disk): 500MB playback cache at ~/.cache/qbz/playback/
Flow:
- When track evicted from memory, saved to disk cache
- When loading: check memory → disk → download cache → network
- Tracks promoted back to memory when accessed from disk
This reduces re-downloads when navigating back to recently played
tracks in mixed playlists.
Linux workflow:
- Remove xdg-portal feature from tauri-plugin-dialog to fix ashpd/zbus version incompatibility
- The ashpd 0.11.0 crate has breaking changes with zbus 5.x
Flatpak workflow:
- Use build-options.append-path instead of shell export to properly set PATH for SDK extensions
- This ensures npm/rust binaries are available in all build commands
- MiniPlayer now resizes the main window instead of creating a separate floating window
- Cider-inspired UI with large album art, track info, full playback controls
- Progress bar with current/remaining time display
- Shuffle, repeat, volume controls integrated
- Pin/restore buttons to control always-on-top and return to main view
- Fixed tray icon to use transparent PNG from static/icons
