v1.2.0

v1.2.0 CHANGELOG

Features

• Added Lidarr as a downloader (by @avedor, @LumePart)

  • Request complete albums for your playlist tracks via Lidarr
  • All required settings to connect Lidarr with Explo can be seen in the wiki or in the wizard

• Added Helm chart support for Kubernetes (by @kgrubb)

• Added an option to bypass authentication by not specifying UI credentials (by @0xv1n)

Security

• Fixed a potential path traversal vulnerability caused by path templating (GHSA-46w2-ccf7-8gfg)
  • Sanitized path components to prevent . and .. path operators from escaping the configured library directory

Enhancements

• Generalized track matching across supported systems with weighted ranking

  • Improved matching consistency across all supported music clients
  • Ranks all returned results by track title and selects the best match if it exceeds the configured threshold
  • Matching score can be modified via TRACK_MATCH_SCORE (default is 60, which is similar to how previous matching worked)

• Improved metadata handling for downloaded tracks

  • More accurate metadata appending for FLAC and MP3 files

• Monitoring now skips tracks that have not finished downloading within 120 minutes (2 hours)

  • Configurable per downloader in minutes via LIDARR_MONITOR_MAX_DURATION or SLSKD_MONITOR_MAX_DURATION

• Download service ranking in UI

  • When two or more downloaders are selected, the wizard automatically ranks them
  • Current order: Lidarr → Slskd → YouTube

• Renamed MONITOR_DURATION, OVERWRITE_METADATA, KEEP_PERMISSIONS, and MIGRATE_DOWNLOADS with the SLSKD_ prefix

  • Added a warning to rename them in .env

• Added filter list support for tracks returned by ytmusicapi

• Changed yt-dlp updates to run daily and on container restart instead of at the start of every job

Fixes

• #222 Fixed playlist schedules being re-added to cron after container restart

• #215 Fixed "Save each run as new playlist" UI toggle not working

• Updated the "No custom playlists" message to include Spotify (by @jojovavasasa)

• Fixed custom playlist cover paths being overwritten on subsequent runs

• Fixed cover art being embedded as a plain video stream (by @kgrubb)

Misc

• Added a deprecation warning for RENAME_TRACK
  • RENAME_TRACK will be removed in a future version and has been replaced by path templating
• Added a CONTRIBUTING.md

New Contributors

• @kgrubb made their first contribution in #200
• @jojovavasasa made their first contribution in #224
