Changelog

Windows builds: free code signing provided by SignPath.io, certificate by SignPath Foundation (code signing policy).

FYI:
Lokal is 100% local; the library, history, anything in database, or any info that is used for API's such as yt-dlp, LRCLIB, is NOT seen by us.

• Phone Remote in Popup (#372)

• Add library browsing to Phone Remote- #203 (#374)

  Details

  User description

  What changed

  • Add searchable Tracks, Albums, Artists, Playlists and Liked Songs views to /remote.
  • Add album, artist and playlist drill-down with track playback, Play Next and Queue actions.
  • Keep a compact previous/play-pause/next bar pinned to the bottom while browsing.
  • Add token-protected /api/remote/library/* endpoints and scope liked songs/playlists to the active desktop user.
  • Resolve selected track IDs in the desktop app instead of exposing local file paths to the phone.

  Implementation

  • Existing playback controls, lyrics, seek, volume and REMOTE_TOKEN prompt remain in place.
  • Queue, play-next and play-collection actions use the existing player queue APIs, with batched track resolution for SQLite compatibility.

  Validation

  • JavaScript syntax parsing passed for the remote page's inline script, the remote API router and the scanner IPC module.
  • No pull-request CI run is reporting for this commit. Runtime Electron browsing, playback and phone pairing have not yet been tested.
