Warming the resize cache re-read the two rows and the file the
acquisition had just written, so every acquired image cost two extra
queries and a second full read of a file whose bytes were still in
memory. processItem now hands back what it persisted and precache warms
from that, under the same cache key the serving path computes.
Resolving the admin user also moves behind the empty-queue check: it is
needed only to resolve private playlists, so an idle server no longer
runs a user lookup on every poll.
Local sources swallowed their open errors, so a stale NFS/SMB mount was
indistinguishable from "this entity has no artwork": the chain returned
no reader, processItem took the absent branch, and the upsert replaced a
good content hash with the empty string. Clients then saw a placeholder
until the 1h request recheck or the 24h stale-absent sweep, and the
orphaned bytes became eligible for the next prune.
A candidate the resolver knows about — a file in the folder listing, a
track's own audio file — failing to open is not evidence of absence, so
it now forces a retry the same way an external agent error does.
The deleted artwork.go carried blank imports for image/gif and
x/image/webp. WebP came back via resize.go's gen2brain/webp, which
self-registers, but GIF did not: core/artwork claims GIF support in
mimeForFormat and extForMime while relying on an unrelated server
package to have imported the decoder.
The guard lives in the e2e suite because that test binary has no other
image/gif importer; a spec in core/artwork would pass regardless, since
animation_test.go imports the package non-blank.
With CoverArtPriority="external,cover.jpg", a transient external failure
followed by a folder hit dropped the external error: the worker recorded
found and deleted the queue row, so the configured higher-priority external
art was never retried. Carry extError onto the fallback resolution and add
an outcomeFoundStale that persists+serves the art but reschedules via
MarkFailed, giving the external source another chance. When external later
answers definitively-not-found, the hit is not stale and the row is deleted.
A user-editable ExternalImageURL can point at an arbitrarily large endpoint;
a fast server could make the worker buffer hundreds of MB inside the 5s HTTP
timeout. Bound the read to a fixed 20MB cap (no config knob) via io.LimitReader
and fail the item if it is exceeded.
Correct the inverted workerDeps.extGate comment, trim over-budget doc comments, and add conf.Server.ArtistImageFolder to the resolution fingerprint so an image-folder change re-resolves artist artwork.
Resolves one queue item end to end: hash/dedup, decode + 128px thumbnail
blurhash, place bytes (store vs source file), and persist found/absent/
failed state for the worker (Task 4) to act on.
