  A bunch of improvements to library enhancement, OneDrive performance, library browsing and more...

  If library enhancement is enabled, we got a lot of feedback that felt that there was too much whitespace and content was pushed too far down. We've improved the layout of the artist page to make better use of the space:

  

  In addition:

  • Library enhancement should only add artist info in the context of the initial folder.
  • Improve the sync log wording to make it clear that enhancement is non-destructive.

  We also improved non-library enhancement sync:

  • Make sure album data is correctly updated when force refresh is used in sync.
  • Ignore Apple resource forks when syncing.
  • Handle when a storage account is removed mid-sync.

  This week's build also makes OneDrive use much faster. We now use path-based lookup of OneDrive resources to reduce time spent traversing large hierarchies. In addition, driven from testing with OneDrive, we've improved error messages for all storage providers in the storage browser, so that we handle JSON and non-JSON encoded messages.

  Before the smaller items, a couple of important fixes for library browsing:

  • Fix "Albums credited to this artist" filter on the artist page.
  • Fix the "Album artists" filter on the artists list.

  Other things!

  • When Subsonic IDs don't exist, return a HTTP 200 with the correct Subsonic error code.
  • When Subsonic IDs aren't specified (and should be) return a relevant Subsonic error code.
  • When there are no matching items for a filter, show a message.
  • Handle albums with "/" in the title.
  • Fix registration confirmation emails to load the HTML template correctly.
  • Allow playback of a track immediately after setting up a storage connection.

  We've been making a lot of changes to how playlists are stored to make them more performant and extensible.

  Playlists

  • Changed database schema to make playlist management and retrieval much faster.
  • Updated Subsonic implementation to make playlist management more efficient.
  • Removed 100 song limit on adding playlist to play queue from the playlist list page.
  • Fix the saving of the play queue into a new playlist.

  Other things

  • When retrieving art for podcasts, use the Astiga User-Agent to avoid occasional artwork download failures.
  • Handle bookmarking when the duration for a podcast episode is zero.
  • Don't traverse into iTunes artwork folders during synchronisation.
  • Fix OneDrive playback for files with hashes in their name.
  • When editing metadata, ensure we also update our record of albums.
  • Only run library enhancement for files that have changed.

  A few bug fixes this week...

  • Allow albums to be added to the play queue which only have `ALBUM ARTIST` fields.
  • On Subsonic calls, don't provide userRating if it's null/not extant.
  • Don't remove old library-enhanced rows.
  • Only switch to library enhancement when the enhancement process is complete.
  • Add timeouts to WebDAV queries to avoid blocking syncs.
  • Make sure starred albums are returned via Subsonic
