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
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
- Allow dead_code on TokenValidationResponse.code (deserialized but not read)
- Remove unused MusicProvider import in commands_v2.rs
- Restore #[allow(non_snake_case)] on v2_plex_cache_get_tracks
- Replace drop(tokens) with let _ = tokens (drop on reference is no-op)
New crate for Last.fm, ListenBrainz, and MusicBrainz integrations.
Designed to work WITHOUT Tauri for TUI/headless clients.
Modules:
- lastfm: Scrobbling and now-playing via Cloudflare Workers proxy
- listenbrainz: Direct API client with user token auth
- musicbrainz: Entity resolution with rate limiting
Features:
- `cache` (default): SQLite persistence for offline support
- ListenBrainz: Credential storage, offline listen queue
- MusicBrainz: Resolved entity cache with TTL
Architecture:
- Pure async Rust, no Tauri dependencies
- Shared error types via IntegrationError enum
- Rate limiting for MusicBrainz (1 req/sec direct, faster via proxy)
