Plexamp Classic v0.5.0
Artist-first search tree
Searching now opens an expandable tree instead of flat result tiles:
▾ Nirvana
▾ Albums (4)
▸ Singles & EPs (3)
▸ Live Albums (3)
▸ Compilations (6)
- Expanding an artist loads its real Plex discography — core albums plus Plex-native release groups (Singles & EPs, Live Albums, Compilations, etc. when the server provides them). Releases are de-duplicated across groups.
- Global album/track title matches (e.g. a Tom Waits song named “Nirvana”) stay in a clearly separate Other matching releases/tracks branch, so they no longer masquerade as the artist’s discography.
- Full keyboard tree navigation: ↑/↓ select, → expand, ← collapse or go to parent, Enter play/open. Album leaves queue the full album through the existing Plex playback path.
- Non-empty groups only: empty categories and Similar Artists are never shown.
Verification
- 12/12 automated tests pass; live Plex E2E confirmed grouped discography and album playback reaching
PLAYINGin the player. - Universal Intel + Apple silicon DMG built and audited; no Plex credentials, account state,
.env, or non-redistributable preset pack in the package.
