sentriz/gonic v0.21.0

gonic v0.21.0

on GitHub

Highlights

• Transcoding works out of the box. stream now honors format and maxBitRate without needing a per-user profile, so clients like Symfonium can pick a bitrate per-network with zero server-side setup. Admins can also configure per-format defaults from a new admin UI section. For legacy clients like Sonus, use the existing but now renamed "per-client overrides" section
• Seeking works in transcoded streams. Cached transcodes are served with proper HTTP Range support, so scrubbing through an opus transcode now behaves like scrubbing through a normal file. For cache misses (first time streaming) timeOffset and estimateContentLength are now supported
• Track play counts are returned on individual tracks (#459), so scrobble counts sync correctly across devices
• Richer artist metadata: track contributors, performer roles, and per-relationship credit names are scanned and exposed. displayArtist now uses ARTIST_CREDIT
  • See Richer artist metadata demo below
  • Recommended taggers for full support beets or wrtag
• More scanned tags: ISRCs, record labels, and per-track year tags are now picked up and returned to clients that support them
• Portable m3u playlists use relative paths, so they survive moves between machines or library roots (#537, #529)
• Bounded cover art cache with configurable size and eviction interval, useful on smaller disks (#687)
• Security: playlist ownership is now enforced - one user can no longer fetch or delete another user's playlists

Upgrade notes

• A full ("slow") scan is recommended after upgrading to v0.21.0 to pick up the newly scanned fields (contributors, ISRCs, record labels, per-track years, ARTIST_CREDIT)
