YTM search used `title` directly, so "recognize - Single" was searched on
YouTube Music instead of "recognize" — causing no YTM results and falling
through to the less reliable YouTube search cascade.

Matches spotdl behaviour; still covers YouTube intros/outros while
reducing false positives from similarly-lengthed wrong songs.

Handles all Spotify trailing suffixes: Single, EP, Remaster, Deluxe Edition,
Bonus Tracks, B-Sides, bare years (2024), Official Music Single, etc.

- "recognize - Single" title → search uses "recognize" (strips "- Single/EP/Album/…")
- Adds Single/EP/Remaster/Deluxe/… to titleKws STOPWORDS so they never become
mandatory title-match filters (no YouTube video title contains "Single")

Western tracks now use artist + title only (matches spotdl behaviour).
Album suffix was causing noise for short English titles like singles
where album name = title + "Single".

Album "recognize - Single" produced query "MINA - recognize recognize Single"
because "recognize" appeared in both title and album name. Now filters album
words already present in the title, plus generic words (Single, EP, Remaster…).

Five separate root causes fixed:
1. buildTitleKeywords (ytdlp.js): For Japanese titles \w strips all
kana/kanji leaving no keywords. Now uses the first whitespace-
delimited segment as a literal regex keyword so --match-filter
title ~= requires the YTM video to contain the Japanese text.
2. Tokenizer wait (ytdlp.js): If kuromoji hasn't finished loading when
a Japanese download starts, romajiForStorage returns the original
Japanese text unchanged — producing Japanese folder/filenames and
skipping sort tags. Now waits up to 30 s for the tokenizer.
3. titleOnlyMatch guard (metadata.js): iTunes titleOnlyMatch (no artist
check) was used as a fallback for all searches. For Japanese
titles/artists this matched wrong US songs with identical titles
(common in anime OSTs). Now titleOnlyMatch is skipped when the
search title or artist contains Japanese characters.
4. squid.js rawArtist: rawArtist was not in squid's signature and
never forwarded to embedMetadata, so Qobuz-downloaded J-Pop tracks
stored the iTunes-resolved English name as artist instead of the
Japanese original. Fixed by accepting and forwarding rawArtist.
5. squid.js romaji paths: Folder and filename used raw artist/title
with no romaji conversion, creating Japanese-named paths
inconsistent with the yt-dlp path. Now uses romajiForStorage same
as ytdlp.js.

When iTunes enrichment returns a jingle/preview as the first result (e.g.
trackTimeMillis=9000), the yt-dlp duration filter becomes impossible
(duration > 30 & duration < 24), all filtered steps fail, and the final
unfiltered fallback downloads whatever YouTube returns first — often a
short clip.
Fix 1: spotify.js — only copy iTunes trackTimeMillis to durationMs when
it is > 30 seconds (genuine song, not a jingle or preview).
Fix 2: ytdlp.js — only enter the duration-filtered search branch when
durationMs > 30 000ms, so a corrupted short value silently falls back to
the unfiltered search path which still finds the correct full song.

albumQuerySuffix and related consts (escRe, JP_CHARS, variantFilter, titleKws,
artistChannelPart) were declared after the ytmQuery/query lines that reference them,
causing ReferenceError on every download. Moves the block to before its first use.

- Skip channel filter when artistFirstWord is non-ASCII (Japanese kanji/kana):
YouTube channels are named in romaji/English, not kanji — the filter was
rejecting all valid results and causing 6+ extra cascade steps
- Add albumQuerySuffix: when title is Japanese (no keyword match) OR has only
one romaji keyword, include the album's first two English words in the search
query so YTM ranks the official OST/album version above fan covers
Fixes: 照井順政 channel filter rejecting all YTM results
Fixes: "Souiunatsu" matching covers with romaji subtitle instead of official OST

- Downloads now store original Japanese in TITLE/ARTIST/ALBUM tags
so Apple Music, iTunes, YTM etc. all see the authentic original text
- Sort tags (TITLESORT/ARTISTSORT/ALBUMSORT) written with romaji for
apps that use them for sorting/display
- iTunes-resolved English artist name used for ARTISTSORT and folder names
when available (more accurate than kuromoji for known artists)
- rawArtist parameter added to downloadTrack so YTM search query uses
the original Japanese channel name (fixes wrong song downloads)
- spotify.js: artistName preserved as original; itunesArtistName stored
separately so the Spotify importer shows Japanese titles
- romaji index now includes titleRomaji/artistRomaji/albumRomaji fields
- Frontend: showRomaji setting (Settings > Bibliothek) — when on, player
bar, now-playing, queue, and song lists all show romaji via index lookup
- refreshDisplayMode() updates all live UI when the toggle is saved
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- ytdlp.js + novasonic-server.js: apply romajiForStorage to album tag
and folder/rename paths (was only applied to artist/title before)
- ui.js: _createNdPlaylist falls back to romaji index for Japanese titles
since Navidrome search3 doesn't index Japanese text properly
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add romajiForStorage() to romaji.js — smart word spacing + Title Case
- ytdlp.js: apply to folder names, filenames, and embedded tags
- novasonic-server.js: apply in edit-metadata endpoint and Spotify resolve
- spotify.js: update track artist/name from iTunes canonical English names

"Arriez & King Dif" was used as-is for the folder; now splits on , ; &
so only the first artist is used: "Arriez".

Naming convention (download + edit-metadata):
Before: {01 - }Title.ext
After: {01 - }Artist1, Artist2 - Title.ext
- ytdlp.js: builds fileBase with artist prefix; findExistingTrack checks
both new and old format so existing files aren't re-downloaded
- metadata.js: findExistingTrack accepts optional safeArtist param
- novasonic-server.js: file rename on title edit now includes artist
(falls back to Navidrome's stored artist if not provided in body)
Song list subtitle: hide album name when album === title (singles where
the album is named after the track appear to duplicate the title)
Player bar: removed .player-title:hover underline/colour effect

Removes LRCLIB lookup, .lrc sidecar file writing, and lyrics/uslt
metadata embedding from all downloads.

- SC tracks: use artworkUrl/album/genre fields (not iTunes artworkUrl100/collectionName/primaryGenreName)
- Playlist handler: same SC field fallbacks for artwork, album, genre, year
- ytdlp.js: convert & to , in album_artist tag so Navidrome albumartist.Split works
- Importer: clear both previews on any URL input change, not just on clear
- edit-metadata: rename album folder on disk when album name changes

- New src/soundcloud.js: resolves SoundCloud URLs via yt-dlp --dump-single-json,
renders track/playlist preview with per-track download buttons
- Backend POST /api/soundcloud/resolve: extracts metadata (title, artist, genre,
artwork, duration) directly from SoundCloud — no iTunes lookup needed
- ytdlp.js: sourceUrl param — if set, downloads directly from URL instead of
ytsearch cascade (used for SoundCloud tracks)
- Spotify importer page renamed to Song Importer, now contains both
Spotify and SoundCloud sections in one view

Each tryYtmSearch() call made a fresh HTTP request, so YouTube could
return different result orderings between steps. The correct video
(right title, wrong channel name) appeared in step 1 but was gone by
step 3 — a worse video with matching keywords slipped through instead.
Now fetch 10 YTM URLs once upfront and filter the same list with
progressively relaxed rules. Also saves 2-4 extra YTM requests per
download.

Using the full artist name with Unicode symbols (e.g. ☆NoAki☆) in ytsearch
caused YouTube to return 0-1 completely irrelevant results, letting wrong songs
fall through to the no-filter fallback. Strip only \p{S} (Unicode symbol chars
like ☆ ★ ♥) but keep ASCII punctuation — so N!GHT stays "N!GHT" (important for
disambiguation) while ☆NoAki☆ becomes "NoAki" (searchable).
YTM URL still uses the original artist name with all chars intact.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Use mainArtist (with special chars) for ytsearch queries so e.g. "N!GHT - Yume"
searches correctly instead of "NGHT - Yume" which YouTube misreads as "night"
and returns ambience videos.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- YTM URL now uses unstripped artist name (e.g. "N!GHT" instead of "NGHT") for
better search ranking on YouTube Music
- Steps 1-2 of cascade now include a soft channel ~= filter using the artist's
first word, preventing wrong-artist songs with matching titles from being
downloaded (e.g. a different "Moonlight" for N!GHT)
- Steps 3+ drop the channel filter so label-hosted tracks still get found
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- ytdlp.js: use \b word boundaries in all variant filter regexes so that
partial matches like "nightcoreals" containing "nightcore" no longer
falsely reject official videos; also fixes sped regression (!~= \bsped\b
instead of the too-narrow "sped up" pattern)
- squid.js: restructure verify payload to mirror challenge response layout
{ parameters, solution: { number, derivedKey }, signature }
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- squid.js: add top-level signature from challenge response to verify payload
(server added signature validation, causing HTTP 400 without it)
- ytdlp.js: switch variant filter from !*= to !~= (?i) so Remix/REMIX/remix
are all rejected, not just lowercase
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- ytdlp.js: watch for [youtube:tab] in yt-dlp output during flat-playlist step;
return [] when channel expansion is detected so cascade falls through to ytsearch
- Revert player.js / main.js / state.js PWA _changingTrack changes (not effective)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
--match-filter 'webpage_url !*= /browse/' was applied to individual videos
AFTER yt-dlp expanded an artist channel into its uploads playlist — by then
each video had a /watch?v= URL, so the filter never fired.
New approach: run yt-dlp --flat-playlist --print webpage_url first to get
the raw search result URLs, filter /browse/ entries in Node.js, then pass
only the actual watch?v= video URLs to yt-dlp for download with --max-downloads 1.
The channel is never expanded; we get the real song from the search results.
