🚨 Critical Lidarr Reliability Fixes

Lidarr 503 Service Unavailable Resolution

• FIXED: Lidarr timeout issues with artist/album lookup operations - implemented differentiated timeouts
• FIXED: Lidarr 503 Service Unavailable errors causing workflow failures - added specific 503 error handling
• FIXED: Insufficient retry delays for server overload scenarios - implemented exponential backoff strategy
• FIXED: Workflow blocking on persistent server issues - added graceful degradation with operation skipping

🔧 Enhanced Lidarr Service Layer

Timeout Optimization

• NEW: Differentiated timeout system - 300s for lookup operations, 120s for commands, 30s for status
• NEW: Operation-specific timeout mapping with automatic selection based on endpoint
• NEW: Debug logging shows timeout values used for each operation
• IMPROVED: Base timeout (60s) maintained for backward compatibility while extending heavy operations

503 Error Handling & Recovery

• NEW: Specific 503 Service Unavailable error detection and handling
• NEW: Exponential backoff for 503 errors (15s → 60s → 180s) to allow server recovery time
• NEW: Health-based operation skipping - automatically skip operations after 3+ recent 503 errors
• NEW: Server recovery detection - automatic reset of error counters when operations succeed
• NEW: Enhanced error messages with timing information and attempt context

📊 Advanced Performance Monitoring

Lidarr-Specific Metrics

• NEW: server_unavailable_503 counter for tracking server overload events
• NEW: health_status indicator (healthy/degraded) based on recent 503 error count
• NEW: Per-operation timing with warnings for slow operations (>30s)
• NEW: Comprehensive performance stats in service info with recovery indicators
• IMPROVED: Request attempt logging with timeout values for enhanced debugging

🛡️ Resilience & Reliability

Graceful Degradation

• NEW: Automatic operation skipping when server health is degraded (3+ 503 errors)
• NEW: Workflow continuity - continues processing other artists when individual lookups fail
• NEW: Smart retry strategy with increased delays for lookup operations vs standard operations
• NEW: Server recovery awareness - resumes normal operations when server becomes healthy

Enhanced Debugging & Diagnostics

• NEW: Detailed timing information for all Lidarr operations
• NEW: Operation attempt tracking with timeout context
• NEW: Slow operation warnings with specific timing thresholds
• NEW: 503 error pattern detection and logging for server health analysis

📈 Performance Improvements

🔧 Configuration Updates

Enhanced Documentation

• UPDATED: config.example.py with performance notes for Lidarr timeout behavior
• NEW: Automatic timeout differentiation documentation
• NEW: Performance tuning guidelines for slow Lidarr instances
• NEW: Troubleshooting guide for 503 error scenarios

🧪 Testing Results

• ✅ VERIFIED: Performance monitoring and health status tracking operational
• ✅ VERIFIED: Server recovery detection and counter reset functioning
• ✅ VERIFIED: Zero breaking changes - existing configurations preserved

📁 Files Modified

• services/lidarr.py - Major enhancements: timeout differentiation, 503 handling, performance monitoring
• config.example.py - Added performance notes and timeout behavior documentation

🎯 Issue Resolution

Original Problem

Failed to add artist Nirvana: [lidarr] Lidarr timeout for GET artist/lookup
Failed to add artist Green Day: [lidarr] Lidarr timeout for GET artist/lookup
[DEBUG] Lidarr ← 503 (took 100.40s)

Resolution Applied

[DEBUG] Using timeout 300s for endpoint artist/lookup
[DEBUG] Lidarr ← 503 (took 100.40s)
WARNING: Lidarr 503 Service Unavailable: GET artist/lookup (attempt 1/3)
INFO: Server overloaded, waiting 15s for server recovery...

🔄 Backward Compatibility

• ✅ All existing Headphones configurations continue to work unchanged
• ✅ Existing Lidarr configurations benefit from enhanced reliability without changes
• ✅ Base timeout configuration (60s) preserved for non-lookup operations
• ✅ Cache files and workflow logic remain fully compatible

[2.0.1] - 2025-06-25

🔧 Critical Fixes & Performance Improvements

Application-Level Issues Resolved

• FIXED: Service registration could fail silently - enhanced error handling in factory
• FIXED: Interface inconsistency with album_exists() method - added to abstract base class
• FIXED: Duplicate HTTP connection logging causing log noise - reduced urllib3/requests verbosity

• NEW: Pagination support for large Last.fm datasets (10 pages max, 200 tracks/page)
• NEW: Automatic garbage collection at sync completion

⚙️ Enhanced Configuration System

Comprehensive Validation

• NEW: Numeric parameter range validation (RECENT_MONTHS: 1-12, MIN_PLAYS: 1-1000, etc.)
• NEW: Rate limiting parameter validation (REQUEST_LIMIT: 0-10, MBZ_DELAY: 0.5-10)
• NEW: Startup configuration validation with detailed error reporting
