v4.0.6

Full Changelog: v4.0.5...v4.0.6

v4.0.5 — Hi-res & lossless reliability

What's new

Parallel endpoint racing

• All Tidal proxy endpoints are now raced concurrently — first successful response wins
• Failed endpoints blacklisted for 5 min, recovered automatically
• Tidal proxy pool expanded from 4 to 6 endpoints

DASH / BTS manifest support

• Segmented streams now download correctly (previously caused silent failures)
• Up to 4 concurrent segment workers

Qobuz — credential-free proxy mode

• Works out of the box without credentials via community proxies
• qobuzEnabled now defaults to true

Amazon Music — new fallback source

• Opt-in via amazonEnabled: true in settings
• Used as last-resort fallback when Tidal and Qobuz fail

FLACidal v4.0.4

Bug Fixes

• Album and artist search fixed — Searching albums or artists on Tidal no longer returns "No results found". The desktop now routes album/artist search through the proxy (same approach as track search), bypassing the revoked Tidal v1 API credentials.
• Version display fixed — The version shown in Settings → Status now correctly reports v4.0.4.
• Core dependency updated to v0.4.3.

FLACidal v4.0.3

Bug Fixes

• Tidal search relevance improved — Searching for acdc, rhcp, ratm or similar compressed band names now returns the actual artist's songs instead of unrelated tracks. Short all-alpha queries are automatically tried with a normalized variant (e.g. acdc → ac/dc) and results are merged.
• Core dependency updated to v0.4.3.

FLACidal v4.0.2

Bug Fixes

• Tidal search fixed — Album and artist search no longer fails with "Invalid token" (API error 401). Search now routes through the proxy pool instead of the Tidal v1 API whose credentials have been revoked by Tidal.
• Retry-on-401 added to the Tidal client for improved resilience.
• Core dependency updated to v0.4.2.

v4.0.1

Bug Fixes

Fix: search button permanently disabled

The Svelte 5 runes migration (v4.0.0) updated event handlers but left six state variables as plain let bindings. In Svelte 5, non-rune variables are not reactive — searchQuery always read as '', keeping the Search button
permanently disabled (showing the not-allowed cursor) and causing the Enter key to do nothing.

Wrapped searchQuery, searchResults, albumResults, artistResults, isSearching and hasSearched with $state(). Affects all three search tabs (Tracks, Albums, Artists).

Fix: track search has no fallback when primary endpoint is unavailable

The desktop backend only had one proxy endpoint configured (vogel.qqdl.site). If that host is unavailable, track search fails entirely with no retry. Synced with the core configuration by adding the three remaining endpoints
(hifi-one.spotisaver.net, hifi-two.spotisaver.net, triton.squid.wtf).
