Changed from auto-fill (which created a single row of 4) to fixed
2-column grid. Column is now a flex container so the grid stretches
to fill the section height alongside the track list.
Artist detail page:
- Checks exploreCache for pre-loaded artist image (from search)
- Checks libraryStore for albums by this artist (by name match)
and shows them as discography instantly before API calls
- Skips fetchArtistImage if cache already provided one
Album detail page:
- Checks exploreCache for cached album metadata (title, artist,
year) from search results and pre-populates the header
- API calls still run to get full data (releases, tracks)
Three fixes:
1. SearchLocal no longer applies minBlendedScore filter — index hits
use scalePopularity scores that aren't comparable to blended
MB+LB scores. This prevents artists from appearing in local
results then disappearing when the full pipeline replaces them
with score-filtered results.
2. Top section columns now render independently — tracks show as
soon as they load, top releases show their own loading state or
appear when ready. Previously the entire section was blocked
until both finished loading.
3. Top releases column shows a loading spinner while its data is
still fetching, rather than being invisible.
Replaced the date-sorted release group approach with a dedicated
TopReleaseGroupsForArtist LB API call that returns releases ranked
by total listen count (popularity). Added LBTopReleaseGroup type
and Wails bindings.
Restyled the top-releases cards to match the library album view:
square cover art on top with title and type below, centered text,
auto-filling the available width with even spacing.
Replace full album cards (square art + text below) with compact
horizontal cards: 44px art thumbnail on left, title + year on right.
Cards fit ~56px tall each, so a 2×2 grid of 4 releases aligns with
the height of 5 track rows in the left column.
Replace full-width top tracks with a split layout: top tracks on the
left (5 default), top releases grid on the right (2×2 = 4 default).
A 'Show more' toggle below both columns expands to 10 tracks and 8
releases. Top releases are sorted newest-first from the existing
discography data.
The full discography section remains below for browsing by type.
After similar artists load, fetch images for each via GetArtistImageURL
in parallel. Images pop in as they resolve — letter avatars remain as
fallback for artists without images. Each image is cached on disk after
first resolution, so subsequent views are instant.
Add CheckLibraryMBIDs call after artist data loads. Checks all
release group MBIDs from the discography against the local library.
Matching albums show a green 'In Library' badge in the album meta
section alongside the year.
Fires after Promise.allSettled completes (same timing as artist
image fetch). Non-blocking — badge appears on re-render when the
check completes.
Add ArtistImageProvider that resolves artist MBIDs to photo URLs:
1. MB url-rels 'image' type → extract Commons filename → thumb URL
2. MB url-rels 'wikidata' type → Wikidata P18 property → thumb URL
3. No image → falls back to initial-letter avatar
Wikimedia Commons thumb URLs constructed via MD5 hash bucketing
(standard Commons URL scheme). Results cached in explore_cache
with 30-day TTL — subsequent lookups are instant.
Frontend: search results and artist detail page show artist photos
in the circular avatar when available. Images load async and
replace the initial-letter fallback on arrival. Artist detail page
fires the image fetch alongside the other 4 parallel data loads.
Architecture supports adding more sources (fanart.tv, etc.) by
extending the resolve() method's source chain.
Extract primary English alias from MusicBrainz artist data when the
canonical name uses non-Latin script (CJK, Cyrillic, etc.). Display
it as the primary name in search results and artist detail header,
with the native script name as a subtitle beneath.
Example: 山下達郎 now shows 'Tatsuro Yamashita' prominently with
'山下達郎' as a subtitle. Artists with Latin names are unchanged.
Use MusicBrainz secondaryTypes to distinguish studio albums from
compilations, soundtracks, live albums, remixes, etc. Albums with
no non-studio secondary types show under 'Albums'; everything else
under 'Other Albums'. EPs and Singles remain their own sections.
Section order: Albums → EP → Single → Other Albums → ...rest.
