API Documentation

The Polaris server API is documented via Swagger. Please note that this Swagger page does not point to a live Polaris server so the Try it out buttons are not expected to work. Every installation of Polaris also distributes this documentation, with the ability to use the Try it out buttons. To access it, simply open http://localhost:5050/swagger/ in your browser on the machine running Polaris.

Feel free to open Github issues or Pull Requests if clarifications are needed.

  • Scan speed in 0.12.4 terribly slow

    Scan speed in 0.12.4 terribly slow

    Since upgrading, scans have become unbearably slow to the point that the app is unusable on my system when not much else is happening.

    Debian sid on linux kernel 5.7.6 running polaris 0.12.4 in docker, scans have 4 threads capping out at about 20MB/s. Watching the logs shows no obvious errors or anything, but I can see very obvious hitching in the scan where all logging stops for a solid 20-30 seconds. The entire library is frozen up during a scan, and at these speeds, scans are taking longer than 30 minutes to finish.

    Rolled back to 0.12.3, one thread is floating between 140-180MB/s with no issues using the app during the scan. I intended to look into this to see what I can do, but I really haven't had the time to put into this.

    I'll try to investigate a bit in the next few days and report back.

  • Add opus format support

    Add opus format support

    Rust already has binding for libopus https://docs.rs/opus/0.2.1/opus/
    I don't know if this would help anyhow, but opus support for polaris would be very nice :)

  • add support for opus files

    add support for opus files

    This adds support for opus files.

    It seems to work fine on my limited set of test files. One thing I noticed is that sometimes a tag is written in uppercase "TITLE" (when set with kid3) and sometimes in lowercase "title" (when converted from mp3 with ffmpeg). To be case insensitive I used to_uppercase().

    Another thing I noticed is that the duration is not displayed. However it seems like it is not supposed to be part of the header but should rather be determined from the last ogg page of the stream.

  • Linux system-wide install guidance

    Linux system-wide install guidance

    I tried to do a system-wide install on Linux and it's a bit of a mess. I ended up with this:

    /var/lib/polaris
    /var/lib/polaris/.local
    /var/lib/polaris/.local/share
    /var/lib/polaris/.local/share/polaris
    /var/lib/polaris/.local/share/polaris/polaris.log

    /var/lib/polaris/.local/share/polaris/db.sqlite
    

    The .local/share part shouldn't be there, the log file should be under /var/log, and the PID file should be under /var/run.

    This one isn't great, but it would be nice to include a systemd unit in the package. This can be used as a starting point.

    Index optimizations

    Savings were:

    • Moving all database insertions away from the thread doing directory traversal
    • Avoiding bail!() macro on critical path
    • Parallelizing the work to detect DB entries that should be removed

    Net result is about 50% faster on warm cache, running on i7-8086k CPU and HDS722020ALA330 drive on Windows.

  • Builds take too long

    Builds take too long

    Polaris takes quite some time to build. It's not terrible, but I feel we could do better.

    Some low-hanging fruit is:

    • [x] using profile overrides to build proc macros in debug mode
    • [ ] avoiding some of the dependency duplication (e.g. right now we're building two versions of syn, each taking around 37 seconds to build
    • [ ] removing some of the less important proc macro dependencies (function_name) comes to mind
    • [ ] making the TLS support optional (for people that use a reverse proxy)
    • [ ] making the Last.fm support optional
    • [ ] maybe something related to the testing code?

    I haven't checked, but it might be some sort of CSRF protection. I couldn't find a log out link, so I had to clear my cookies to be able to log in again.

    Update: it was Rocket's encrypted cookies.


    After #41, this no longer happens, but it would be nice if:

    • the web UI could detect that it's not authenticating properly and prompt the user to log in again
    • there was a way to log out

  • Multi value fields

    Multi value fields

    This is a POC to store multiple values per field. Starting with artists and album artists. If this was to be merged, we should probably do the same for lyricists and composers. It also paves the way for semantic browsing, as we now have a table of artists (and possibly composers and lyricists). And something similar can be done for albums.

    One thing to be cautious about is that ids of songs, and artists will have to be stable, we could also make the join table work on paths and artists names. But to be honest I prefer using numeric ids.

    Let me know what you think.

    Feature request: ability to Love a track on last.fm, and see if current playing track is loved.

    Leaving this here in case someone wants to do a PR.

    Last.fm does not only track what you've listened to, it may also track what songs you mark as loved. Traditionally, marking a track as loved is done either through the last.fm web portal, or by using the official last.fm scrobbler. My request is to add the REST endpoints and webui button to (un)mark the current playing song as loved.

    • https://www.last.fm/api/show/user.getLovedTracks
    • https://www.last.fm/api/show/track.love
    • https://www.last.fm/api/show/track.unlove

    In both the last.fm web portal and their scrobbler, they use an outlined heart to indicate unloved, and a filled heart to indicate loved.

  • add simplified browse functionality for single collection

    add simplified browse functionality for single collection

    Greetings,

    Thanks for Polaris!

    I've got a single collection of hundreds of directories. There is an extra (unnecessary) click of going from "All Music" -> "Collection Root" -> [hundreds of directories]

    Both "All Music" and "Collection Root" are single directories/containers. It would be great for Polaris to notice that there is only one collection configured and then skip the "All Music" container. That is, when you click the Browse link in the upper left hand corner you go directly to the hundreds of directories.

    Thanks for considering this feature request!
