Revision history for App::DrivePlayer.
0.2.9 2026-04-30
- Fix: player IPC no longer drops mpv events when a recv()
slices an event mid-line. _drain_events and
_send_command_sync now share _pending_buf so partial
events get reassembled across reads. Symptom: roughly
every 15-20 tracks playback would stick on a finished
track because end-file was lost and on_track_end never
fired.
- Settings: saving with changed Google credentials now
tears down rest_api / drive / player and rebuilds them
against the new config, so a refreshed token takes
effect without restarting the app.
- Errors: HTTP 4xx / OAuth-grant failures from Google now
pop the Settings dialog automatically after the error
is dismissed, routing the user straight to the
credentials. Re-entry from errors fired inside the
Settings dialog itself (e.g. Find-or-Create) is
suppressed.
- Tracklist: Artist, Album and Genre cells are now click
targets that switch the sidebar to that group; the
existing cursor-changed signal repopulates the
tracklist. A hand cursor on hover indicates the cell
is clickable.
- Edit metadata: when an artist / album / genre value
changes and other tracks share the previous value, a
single confirmation dialog offers to apply the rename
across all matching tracks -- so one mojibake fix can
clean up the lingering sidebar entry instead of leaving
it stuck behind unrenamed siblings.
- Edit metadata: small grey help label under the Fetch
button states that Fetch only fills blank fields, and
that clearing a populated field lets Fetch replace it.
- Config: write 'class: OAuth2Client' on the
google_restapi blob (in addition to under auth) and
require Google::RestApi >= 2.2.3.
- Docs: README Files section converted from a GFM pipe
table to a bulleted list so it renders correctly on
MetaCPAN (Text::Markdown doesn't support tables).
0.2.8 2026-04-23
- Fix: Scanner now decodes UTF-8 at the Drive API boundary,
preventing double-encoded mojibake (e.g. "Nazan Ãncel"
instead of "Nazan Öncel") from landing in SQLite. New
tools/fix_mojibake.pl repairs existing corrupted rows.
- Edit dialog: context menu "Edit Metadata…" and "Fetch
Metadata…" consolidated into a single "Edit…" with a Fetch
button inside the dialog. Fetch fills only blank fields
(whitespace-only counts as blank); to refresh a populated
field, clear it first.
- Edit dialog: entries force LTR layout with an invisible
LRM prefix, so RTL content (Arabic, Hebrew) no longer
flips the dialog to right-justified after a fill. Text
strippers remove the marker on read so nothing leaks into
the DB or queries.
- Display: tracklist, sidebar, and now-playing label strip
leading track-number prefixes from titles, leading YYYY-
from albums, and underscores across title/artist/album.
Stored values stay raw — DB lookups and sheet sync are
unaffected.
- Sheet sync: single-track metadata saves now update just
the one row on the relevant worksheet (two Sheets API
calls total — values.get on the drive_id column, then
values.update on the matching row) instead of rewriting
every tab.
- Save: metadata edits refresh the single tracklist row in
place, preserving sidebar selection and scroll position
(was a full _load_library that bumped the user back to
the "All Tracks" view).
0.2.7 2026-04-22
- Settings dialog: move the Google Sheet Sync section so it
follows the Google API Credentials section (related Google
settings grouped together).
- Settings dialog: add mouseover tooltips on every label and
input (OAuth Client ID / Secret / Token File, Spreadsheet
ID, fpcalc row, AcoustID API Key) explaining what each
value is and where it comes from.
- Settings dialog: add clickable help links in the section
notes pointing at Google Cloud Console (Credentials + Drive
API library), google_restapi_oauth_token_creator,
sheets.google.com, and the AcoustID application
registration page.
- Settings dialog: cap note width at 60 chars so long hints
wrap cleanly instead of forcing the dialog wider.
0.2.6 2026-04-20
- Fix: track auto-advance now handles mpv 'end-file' with
reason=error (transient network/stream failures), and no
longer spuriously advances on reason=stop (which fires for
user-initiated stop and for loadfile-replace pre-emption).
- Fix: re-playing a track already visible in the list no
longer re-centres the tracklist viewport. _highlight_path
checks get_visible_range first and only scrolls when the
target row is off-screen.
- A-Z sidebar strip now follows the selected category:
operates on Artists / Albums / Genres depending on the
current sidebar selection, and is disabled (insensitive)
while All Tracks or a Folders entry is selected.
- New "YYYY-AlbumName" folder/filename convention: when an
album (inferred from the folder path) or a filename starts
with a 19xx/20xx year followed by '-', the prefix is
stripped from the album/title and the year is written to
the track's year metadata. Re-scan to populate existing
tracks.
- Tracklist gains a Year column between Genre and Duration.
0.2.5 2026-04-18
- Unified sheet sync: Library -> Sync now does a single
bidirectional reconcile after the Drive scan. Rules: both
sides have a value -> DB wins; one side blank -> filled from
the other; drive_id only in DB -> added to sheet; drive_id
only on sheet -> Drive is queried and the track is either
added to the DB (exists) or removed from the sheet (gone).
Drive API errors during the existence check preserve the row
on both sides -- sync never destroys data on an API error.
- Removed the separate File -> Sync from Sheet / Sync to Sheet
menu items. Auto-push after metadata edits/fetches is kept
as a targeted merge-push, since running a full two-way sync
after every field edit would be wasteful.
- Fix: clicking a track in the list no longer auto-scrolls the
viewport between the two clicks of a double-click, which
could cause a different track to end up under the cursor and
be played instead of the one clicked. The tracklist now
handles left-clicks manually so GTK's set_cursor auto-scroll
never fires on click.
0.2.4 2026-04-17
- Sheet push is now a merge instead of a full replace: local
non-blank values overwrite the sheet, local blanks preserve
existing sheet values, and drive_ids only present on the sheet
are kept intact. Prevents a device with partially-populated
metadata from wiping data pushed from another device.
- No longer auto-fetches metadata on startup. If another device
has already populated metadata and synced it to the sheet, a
new device doesn't need to refetch. Use Library → Fetch All
Metadata to trigger a fetch manually.
- Dropped the Composer field entirely (sheet, edit-metadata
dialog, metadata-fetch pipeline, and DB schema). The only
source was embedded FLAC tags, which in practice populated
almost no tracks, so it was carrying no value. Existing
databases have the column dropped on first run (SQLite >= 3.35).
0.2.3 2026-04-17
- Edit Metadata dialog now auto-syncs to the Google Sheet after save,
so manual edits (e.g. fixing a genre) propagate to other devices
without waiting for the next Library → Sync.
0.2.2 2026-04-16
- Fix duration_ms and genre not propagating to new devices on sheet
pull: duration_ms was overwritten by Drive scans (moved to metadata
fields) and was absent from skeleton-track creation.
0.2.1 2026-04-16
- Fix window height: replace alpha-strip button VBox with TreeView so
the sidebar ScrolledWindow can properly constrain minimum height,
allowing the main window to be resized smaller.
- Alpha strip width increased to 32px to avoid scrollbar overlap.
0.2.0 2026-04-15
- GUI refactored into Moo roles (MetadataFetch, SheetSync, FolderBrowse).
- Background metadata fetch via fork+pipe; UI remains responsive.
- Live track-row updates in the list view as metadata arrives.
- Retry Incomplete Metadata: re-fetches only tracks missing key fields.
- FLAC embedded tag reading via Audio::FLAC::Header (optional).
- MusicBrainz genre support (curated genres preferred over folksonomy tags).
- Genre lookup now falls back through release → release-group levels.
- Title cleaning now strips leading track numbers from underscore filenames.
- Duration captured from mpv playback and persisted to DB and sheet.
- Config supports google_restapi key introduced in Google::RestApi 2.2.1.
- Track lookup fixed after column sort (was using stale position index).
- Column widths set to sensible defaults on initial load.
- Log4perl appenders set to UTF-8 to suppress wide-character warnings.
- Library → Refresh menu item added.
- Stop button hidden when playback is idle.
- Folder-scoped metadata fetch via sidebar right-click.
0.1.0 2026-04-12
- Initial release.
- GTK3 music player for Google Drive with SQLite local library.
- Google Sheets sync for cross-device metadata portability.
- AcoustID / iTunes / MusicBrainz metadata fetching.
- Incremental folder sync with large-deletion confirmation.
