Songify v1.8.12

Features

  • Spotify idle fetch backoff - When playback stays paused/idle, Songify slows Spotify polling to save API quota: after 10 idle pulls the interval becomes 10× the settings rate (capped at 60s); after another 10 idle pulls it raises to the 60s cap if still below. Restores automatically when playback resumes, the track changes, or Spotify-related Twitch commands/rewards run (song request, skip, play, song info, etc.).
  • Idle polling status chip - When backoff is active, the main window shows e.g. Polling 20s (idle) / Polling 1 min (idle) in the bottom center of the window; click to restore the normal settings rate.
  • Settings UI overhaul - Settings are grouped into clearer sections (General, Limits, Filters, Bits, Backup, Cloud, Advanced, Auth Ports) with scrollable layouts. User-level pickers now show a summary of selected levels when closed.
  • Spotify toast toggle - New Show Spotify toasts setting (System → Behavior) to enable or disable Windows toast notifications for Spotify errors.
  • Pear auto-connect from status icon - Click the Pear status indicator to toggle auto-connect; tooltips show backoff/retry state more clearly.
  • OAuth callback branding - Spotify login success/error page now uses embedded Songify and Spotify logos instead of remote images.

Improvements

  • Smarter Spotify error notifications - Operational Spotify API failures only notify after several consecutive non-429 errors (default: 5). Rate-limit (429) toasts still appear immediately. Global/category throttling and persistent banner occurrence counts further reduce spam.
  • Spotify error banner copy - Clearer rate-limit wording (“until around” a specific time) and a more visible persistent banner layout.
  • Spotify playlists - Playlist loading now pages through the full library; playlist dropdowns use a max height so long lists stay usable.
  • Twitch command responses - Command handling now consistently sends or announces the response after processing.
  • Pear diagnostics - JSON parse failures log a payload preview centered around the error (path, line, position) for easier troubleshooting.
  • Twitch request ingress - Request input is normalized earlier in the hosted service / Twitch handler flow.

Removals

  • Restrict song requests to a Spotify playlist - The playlist-only SR restriction option and related UI have been removed. General playlist selection and “only add to playlist” behavior are unchanged.

Fixes

  • Spotify track URLs - Track ID extraction from Twitch messages is stricter (valid 22-character IDs only), reducing bad matches from partial/odd URLs (#214).
  • Duplicate song requests - Requests for the song that is already playing are blocked.
  • Twitch startup / Spotify devices - Hardened Twitch auto-connect init order; improved Spotify device fallback/recovery and avoided unnecessary device-list API calls when a device id is already stored (#210, #211).
  • Pear auto-connect - Auto-connect stays active with one-shot failure alerts, exponential backoff retries, and forced re-check on explicit status-icon clicks.
  • Paused track refresh - Reduced repeated track updates caused by inconsistent paused/isPlaying state.
