@0-Pierre do not merge develop into this PR. Rebase on develop instead. Could you please rebase and remove all theses merge commits? |
Apologies, I'm not very familiar with the GitHub processes and features. I'll do my best, but the first commit was automatically created during a rebase when I used the "Rebase current branch..." option. |
Description
Jellyseerr fully support music trough Lidarr 🚀 🎵
Metadata
We’re using the Lidarr API (api.lidarr.audio) to improve speed, as MusicBrainz (MB) often suffers from high latency and server overload issues.
Trade-off: The results are slightly less precise compared to the MB Search API.
Overview
The overview section pulls data from Wikipedia, ensuring multilingual support for more flexible and accurate descriptions.
Image Handling
Images are initially loaded from the provided links and cached locally.
The Lidarr API offers additional artist images that aren’t available in the Cover Art Archive (CAA).
If an image is missing, the system automatically falls back to CAA.
Caching
By default, images from CAA and Fanart are cached locally, as these sources tend to load slowly.
Cached images are stored in the /cache folder and can be cleared via the settings page using a dedicated job.
Other images are only cached if specific options are enabled.
Similar Artists / Trending
We use the ListenBrainz API to provide recommendations for similar artists and trending music. Missing images are completed through the Lidarr API, with a fallback to CAA.
Artist Groups
The /group endpoint is dedicated to artist groups (bands). For individual artists (persons), we merge data with the /person endpoint from TMDb to avoid duplicate entries.
Informations Points
There are cases where images aren’t available on either the CAA or the Lidarr API. In such instances, we need to upload them to the MusicBrainz database to ensure they are displayed. This aligns with the core purpose of MusicBrainz, a community-driven platform for sharing metadata.
For this reason, I’ve removed Deezer as a fallback. Encouraging community contributions is more in line with MusicBrainz’s philosophy. Additionally, using Deezer’s fallback wasn’t always reliable, as the matching wasn’t based on precise IDs, though it worked correctly about 95% of the time.
