- Adjust badge icons: QBZ 17px (was 22px), Qobuz 20px (was 18px)
QBZ fills its viewBox completely while Qobuz has whitespace,
so QBZ needs to be smaller to appear visually equal
- Adjust glyph icons: Playlist 32px (was 28px), Radio 26px (was 24px)
Playlist SVG only fills ~77% of its 20x20 viewBox, needs larger
pixel size to match Lucide Radio which fills its box completely
Backend:
- Add get_artist_tracks command for fetching artist's popular tracks
Frontend:
- Fallback to artist's popular tracks when tracks_appears_on is sparse
- Remove card hover movement, only image moves up on hover
- Add hover overlay with (add to queue) (play) (play next) buttons
- Use playlist.svg icon for playlist cards and glyph
- Radio glyph shown by default, replaced by action buttons on hover
- Fix icon sizes: QBZ (22px) vs Qobuz (18px) for visual balance
- Track playlist.svg asset
- Change from aggressive title normalization to exact title match only
- Keeps different versions (Remaster, Live, etc.) as valid options
- Add debug logging for sparse recommendation data
- This should fix the "only one recommendation" issue for some artists
- Fix $derived to $derived.by for complex logic (was causing CPU spike)
- Remove badge backgrounds from QBZ and Qobuz icons
- Move info icon (i) to top-left corner of radio card
- Add play button to radio card
- Increase badge icon sizes for visibility
- Dedupe recommended tracks by normalized title (filters remasters/editions)
- Use actual QBZ logo SVG instead of text "Q"
- Add playlist icon and "Playlist" label for clarity
- Add diamond-style collage layout for Song Radio card
- Pass currentArtwork for radio collage images
- Clean up unused error-text CSS in LyricsPanel
Layout:
- Top section: Artist curated playlists (from Qobuz) + Song Radio card (QBZ)
- Bottom section: Recommended tracks from artist's discography
Features:
- Artist playlists fetched via get_artist_detail (includes curated playlists)
- Song Radio card with experimental badge and tooltip
- Recommended tracks shuffled from artist's tracks_appears_on
- Single API call per artist (efficient loading)
- Loading state with spinner, empty state handling
- Play buttons with hover effects
Technical:
- Uses existing create_track_radio command for radio generation
- Tracks loadedArtistId to prevent duplicate requests
- Added translations for songRadio, radioExperimental, recommendedTracks
- Track loadedTrackId to avoid re-fetching same track
- Only request when trackId actually changes from loaded one
- Clear state only when track ends (trackId becomes null)
- Remove broken common.loading translation (spinner is enough)
- Create TrackInfoPanel with full track metadata and credits
- Display: duration, quality, ISRC, label, and all performer credits
- Uses same backend as TrackInfoModal (get_track_info command)
- Rename tab from 'Credits' to 'Track Info' (player.trackInfo)
- Update keyboard shortcut from 'C' to 'T' for Track Info tab
- Fix actions.clearQueue -> player.clearQueue translation key
- Add i18n translations for trackInfo in EN/ES
- Delete old placeholder CreditsPanel
- Increase canvas size from 8x8 to 64x64 to reduce visible pixelation
- Add small CSS blur(40px) to smooth the result
- Key: blur(40px) on 64x64 is much cheaper than blur(120px) on full image
- Adjusted brightness slightly darker (0.55x) for better text contrast
Performance problem:
- WebKitWebProcess consuming 97% CPU on one core
- Cause: CSS filter: blur(120px) on large image is extremely expensive
in WebKit/GTK which cannot GPU-accelerate this operation
Solution:
- Replace CSS blur with Canvas-based tiny thumbnail approach
- Draw image to 8x8 canvas, apply color adjustments, scale up via CSS
- Natural pixelation creates blur-like effect with ZERO CPU cost
- Remove backdrop-filter: blur() from header elements (use solid bg)
Also fixed:
- Change Mic icon to Mic2 to match rest of app
- Add missing i18n translations for player.credits and player.suggestions
- Remove track info (artwork, title, artist) from ImmersiveControls bottom bar
- Add track title and artist below album artwork in split view mode
- Change Lyrics Focus icon from MessageSquareText to Mic (microphone)
- Remove unused compact mode from ImmersiveControls
- Simplify props and cleanup CSS
- Rewrite VisualizerPanel for full-screen display with 3 modes:
- Bars: vertical audio bars with rounded corners
- Wave: smooth waveform with mirrored reflection
- Circular: radial bars emanating from center
- Extract colors from album artwork for dynamic coloring
- Add performance optimizations: 32 bars, 20fps throttling
- Pass artwork prop to enable color extraction
- Add mode switcher button to cycle through visualizations
Display modes:
- Coverflow: centered album art with track info
- Split: artwork + panel side by side (current default)
- Lyrics Focus: single line at a time, large centered text
- Queue Focus: full screen queue view
- Visualizer Focus: full screen visualizer
Background:
- Heavy CSS blur (120px) for abstract color blobs
- No recognizable image, just colors
Keyboard shortcuts: 1-5 to switch modes
Inspired by Cider 3's immersive player design.
Replace blur approach with full resolution artwork:
- Artwork scaled 115% to hide edges
- Strong vignette overlay fading to black at edges
- Gradient overlays for text readability (header, controls, lyrics)
- Slight desaturation for better contrast
- Simpler and more visually impactful
- Increase canvas blur size from 64x64 to 256x256 for smoother background
- Fix lyrics horizontal scroll by adding word-wrap and overflow-x: hidden
- Remove queue button from controls (use header tab instead)
- Add queue sync effect when immersive player is open
Addresses visual quality issues with pixelated background and long
German lyrics causing horizontal overflow.
- Create QueuePanel component for immersive mode
- Add queue tab to ImmersiveHeader with ListMusic icon
- Update ImmersivePlayer to render QueuePanel and pass queue data
- Add Q keyboard shortcut to switch to queue tab
- Pass queue tracks from +page.svelte to ImmersivePlayer
Users can now manage their queue without leaving immersive mode.
ToS acceptance was stored in localStorage which gets cleared on app
updates, causing users to re-login frequently. Now stores ToS state
in SQLite (~/.local/share/qbz/legal_settings.db) which survives
updates.
- Add legal_settings.rs with SQLite storage for ToS acceptance
- Update qobuzLegalStore.ts to use Rust invoke commands
- LoginView now loads ToS from Rust before auto-login check
- Migration from localStorage for existing users
Closes#31
Digital outputs like S/PDIF transmit audio as-is without DA/AD conversion,
making them bit-perfect by nature. Now iec958: devices get the BP badge.

- Use CPAL's supported_output_configs() to check rate support for hw: devices
Frontend changes:
- Display sample rates as subtitle in DeviceDropdown (e.g., "44.1, 48, 96, 192 kHz")
- Only shown for bit-perfect devices where detection is available
- Search not sensitive to sample rates field (per user request)
- New DeviceDropdown component with grouped options:
- Defaults (System Default, default ALSA)
- Bit-perfect (Auto-detected) - hw:X,Y devices with BP badge
- Plugin Hardware - plughw:X,Y devices
- Other Outputs - remaining devices
- Only shows for ALSA Direct backend, other backends use regular dropdown
