When skipping tracks quickly, the previous PCM handle may not be
fully released by the kernel before the new track tries to open
the same ALSA device (snd_pcm_open fails with EBUSY).
Previous behavior: single retry after 200ms PipeWire suspend, then
immediate failure. This didn't cover our own PCM race condition.
New behavior: 4 retries with progressive backoff (50/100/200/400ms)
for both hw and plughw paths. PipeWire suspend still attempted once
upfront. Total worst-case wait: 750ms (vs 200ms before), but the
early retries at 50-100ms cover the common fast-skip case.

Remove dead alsa dependency from src-tauri/Cargo.toml (code lives in
qbz-audio since V2 migration) and bump qbz-audio to alsa 0.10.
Eliminates duplicate alsa versions in Cargo.lock.
Breaking changes in 0.10 (Format/ChmapPosition reorder) do not affect
QBZ — we use catch-all matches and never rely on PartialOrd.
Closes#260

Off by default. When disabled, if the requested quality is unavailable
the download/stream fails instead of silently downgrading. Persisted
to audio_settings DB. Applied to offline cache downloads.

- Upgrade rust_cast 0.18.1 → 0.21 (switches from openssl to rustls,
removing the openssl-sys dependency that blocked x86_64 cross-compile)
- Split mupdf sys-lib features to Linux-only (on macOS there are no GTK
symbol conflicts, and system libs don't support x86_64 cross-compile
from Apple Silicon)
- Update release-macos workflow to build both aarch64 and x86_64 DMGs
using a matrix strategy
Three fixes:
- resolve_artist now prefers exact name matches over highest score,
fixing "The Warning" resolving to "Fates Warning" (score=100 but
wrong name vs score=97 exact match)
- resolve_area_country now returns ISO country code alongside name,
fixing flag display (was showing US flag for German artists)
- country_code updated in location metadata for correct flag rendering
cc
Add resolve_area_country() that walks the MB area hierarchy up to
the country level (e.g., Frankfurt -> Hessen -> Germany).
Use it in v2_musicbrainz_get_artist_metadata to get the real birth
country instead of MB's "country" field (which is where the artist
is active, not where they were born).
Hans Zimmer now shows "Frankfurt am Main, Germany" and clicking
the location shows German composers, not American ones.
cc
Show a subtle buffer progress bar in the seekbar when streaming
tracks (before they are fully cached). The bar disappears once
the track is fully buffered.
Backend: expose buffer_progress from BufferedMediaSource through
SharedState -> PlaybackEvent -> playerStore.
Frontend: render .seekbar-buffer bar behind the playback fill.
cc
- Imports reorganized: use lofty::prelude::*, lofty::tag::*, lofty::picture::*
- Picture::new_unchecked -> Picture::unchecked().pic_type().mime_type().build()
- set_year/remove_year -> set_date/remove_date with Timestamp
- ItemKey::Unknown("ISRC") -> ItemKey::Isrc
- save_to_path(path) -> save_to_path(path, WriteOptions::default())
- get_string/remove_key now take ItemKey by value
- Bump qbz-library crate lofty dep to 0.23

When backend_type is None (auto-detect), default to SystemDefault on
non-Linux platforms so macOS gets CoreAudio device probing and sample
rate switching instead of falling through to the legacy CPAL path.
On macOS, enumerate_devices() now populates supported_sample_rates,
max_sample_rate, device_bus, and is_hardware via CoreAudio probing.
create_output_stream() switches the device sample rate to match the
track before opening the CPAL stream.
Add coreaudio_direct module using coreaudio-rs safe wrappers for:
- Device capability probing (supported sample rates, transport type)
- Automatic sample rate switching per-track
- Device lookup by name for CoreAudio↔CPAL bridging
Uses a fork branch of coreaudio-rs that adds get_available_sample_rates
and get_device_transport_type helpers (PR RustAudio/coreaudio-rs#149).
Qobuz changed their protocol to sometimes send QueueVersionRef
without major/minor populated. Our decoder treated these as
required fields, causing all cloud_type=6 messages to fail with
"missing required numeric field 'queue_version.major'".
Default to 0 when absent — matches the dev panel behavior.
cc
Add #[cfg(target_os = "linux")] to pipewire_backend and pulse_backend
modules. Add CpalDefaultBackend for non-Linux platforms using CPAL
default host (CoreAudio on macOS). Gate reset_pipewire_clock() calls.
v2_query_dac_capabilities was returning hardcoded sample rates
(44.1-192kHz including 176.4kHz) instead of querying the actual
hardware. This caused incorrect configuration for DACs that don't
support all rates (e.g. DacMagic Plus doesn't support 176.4kHz).
Now queries /proc/asound/cardN/stream0 via PipeWire sink mapping
or ALSA device ID to get the real discrete rates from the USB
descriptor. Falls back to defaults only if detection fails.
cc
Discovered undocumented Qobuz API endpoints from bundle analysis:
- POST /playlist/subscribe { playlist_id }
- POST /playlist/unsubscribe { playlist_id }
This is the native "follow playlist" feature that syncs across all
Qobuz clients, separate from QBZ's existing "Copy to Library" (local
copy) and "Favorite" (local flag) features.
Added:
- subscribe_playlist/unsubscribe_playlist in both qbz-qobuz and legacy client
- v2_qobuz_subscribe_playlist / v2_qobuz_unsubscribe_playlist commands
- Bookmark toggle button in PlaylistDetailView (next to Copy button)
- i18n keys in all 5 locales
cc
USB hubs/docks (e.g. Razer USB4 Dock) may need longer than 300ms for
sample rate switching. When PipeWire hasn't finished reconfiguring,
96K/192K tracks play at wrong speed (half/quarter) and sound distorted.
Changes:
- Increase initial clock.force-rate delay from 300ms to 500ms
- After stream creation, query pw-metadata clock.rate to verify the
actual graph rate matches what was requested
- If mismatch detected, retry with additional 500ms delay and re-force
- Log warnings when rate can't be verified so users can report
cc
SrvrCtrlQueueTracksReordered and SrvrCtrlQueueTracksRemoved were not
triggering AskForQueueState, so the local queue never reflected
reorder/remove actions performed via QConnect. Same pattern as the
existing shuffle resync.
cc
is_disc_folder() was matching any folder name containing "Disc N" or
"CDN" anywhere in the name. This caused albums like "100 Popular
Classics, Disc 1" or "Now 75 - CD1" under Various Artists to be treated
as disc subfolders, collapsing all tracks into a single album group.
Now is_disc_folder() only returns true when the folder name consists
exclusively of disc-related tokens (disc/cd/disk, digits, and modifiers
like "bonus"). Album names with extra words are correctly left as-is.
Users must re-scan their library for the fix to take effect.
When download fails after retry at the same quality (e.g. HiRes),
automatically try the next lower quality (e.g. Lossless). This handles
CDN edges that consistently serve broken responses for specific tracks
at certain quality levels. Applied to all three download paths: standard
download, streaming probe fallback, and prefetch. Also fixes prefetch
retry using wrong quality variable.
Add Drop impl to PlaybackEngine so the ALSA Direct writer thread is
properly stopped when the engine is dropped (e.g. streaming timeout).
Previously, a failed streaming attempt would orphan the writer thread,
keeping the ALSA device locked and blocking all subsequent playback.
Also force HTTP/1.1 for audio downloads and add detailed error chain
logging to diagnose persistent "error decoding response body" failures
for specific tracks.
Refactor ALSA Direct engine from thread-per-source to a single
long-lived writer thread with a source queue. When one source ends,
the writer thread immediately picks up the next from the queue with
zero gap. Remove the ALSA Direct gapless rejection gate since the
engine now natively supports source queueing.
When PipeWire drops the stream during pause, the graph reverts to the
DAC's default rate (e.g. 44100Hz). The pre-stream force-rate metadata
can be ignored when no streams are active. Re-applying after the stream
is connected forces PipeWire to reconfigure the graph at the correct
sample rate.
Also fix unused import warning for MusicBrainzSharedState in commands_v2
by using the import instead of the full path in factory_reset.
- Add filename-based track number inference as fallback when tags lack track_number
- Detect degenerate track numbering (all tracks same number) and use index fallback
- Flatten single-track-per-disc box sets into sequential numbering
- Replace fragile SELECT * with explicit column list in track queries
ListenBrainz similar-artists returned mainstream crossover artists (SOAD,
Led Zeppelin for Metallica) instead of genre-accurate results. Now uses
MusicBrainz tag search to find artists sharing the seed's primary genre tag
(e.g. "thrash metal" returns Megadeth, Slayer, Kreator, etc).
- Add search_artists_by_tag to MusicBrainz client
- Deterministic shuffle using seed MBID hash for variety across artists
- Secondary tag fallback when primary yields fewer than 5 results
- Rename label to "You May Also Like", limit results to 6
- Add Last.fm get_similar_artists method (unused, for future use)
- Add tags field to ArtistFullResponse model
- Tighten local history exclusion to play_count > 2
insert_qobuz_cached_track_direct was hardcoding track_number to 0,
causing all imported tracks to show wrong numbers. Now accepts
track_number and disc_number params, and both callers (backfill
downloads and offline cache sync) extract metadata from the audio
file via MetadataExtractor before inserting.
Also fix LocalLibraryView to use || instead of ?? for track_number
fallback, so 0 correctly falls back to index-based numbering.
Closes#147
