This PR implements a comprehensive track duration metadata system for SiriusXM streams by integrating with the MusicBrainz API and adding intelligent database caching. Track timing information is used exclusively for controlling metadata refresh intervals, not for display purposes.

Track Duration Detection

MusicBrainz API Integration

  • Automatically fetches track durations from MusicBrainz API using artist and title information
  • Only accepts high-confidence matches (75%+ score threshold) to ensure accuracy
  • Enhanced ranking: When multiple tracks have identical scores (100%), selects the one with the oldest release date for better accuracy

Intelligent Database Caching System

  • SQLite database stores track durations in LMS cache directory using xmplaylist.com track IDs as primary keys
  • Smart duplicate prevention: Checks cache by both ID and title/artist combinations before making API calls
  • Database-first approach with comprehensive checking to eliminate redundant MusicBrainz requests
  • Automatic cleanup of old entries to prevent database bloat
  • Stores MusicBrainz confidence scores for quality tracking
  • Prevents concurrent API calls for the same track using lookup progress tracking

Timer-Only Duration Usage

Since track start times from xmplaylist.com are not accurate enough for display purposes, the system:

  • Uses track duration information only for calculating metadata refresh timer intervals
  • Implements simplified timer formula: Duration - (Current Time - Start Time) - 15 with 15s minimum interval
  • Removes all track elapsed time display logic and timing-based metadata switching
  • Tracks timing internally using xmplaylist timestamp data for timer calculations only
  • Dynamically reschedules timers when duration information becomes available asynchronously
  • Preserves timing information during channel display transitions for optimal timer intervals

Technical Implementation

The solution adds these components following LMS best practices:

  1. TrackDurationDB.pm - SQLite database management with cache directory storage
  2. MusicBrainzAPI.pm - Async API integration with release date ranking and rate limiting
  3. APImetadata.pm - Smart database checking to prevent duplicate API calls with async metadata updates
  4. ProtocolHandler.pm - Simplified timer system using duration for refresh intervals only
  5. Plugin.pm - Database lifecycle management

Async Metadata Updates

The system handles asynchronous duration lookups properly by:

  • Updating current song metadata when duration is found via async callbacks
  • Ensuring timer calculations have access to duration information
  • Preventing timer fallback to default 25s intervals when duration data is available
  • Rescheduling timers with optimal intervals when async duration lookups complete

Usage

The plugin now properly uses track duration information internally for optimizing metadata refresh intervals without displaying confusing or inaccurate elapsed time information. Duration data is cached efficiently for future playback and used exclusively for timer calculations.

Fixes #34.

Seems we get quite a few tracks that have a score of 100, wo we need to also rank them based on the oldest "first-release-date" field.

Enhanced ranking logic to consider release dates when scores are equal. When multiple tracks have score 100, now selects the one with the oldest "first-release-date" field. Added _getEarliestReleaseDate() helper function to extract and normalize release dates from MusicBrainz recordings. (f2763bd)

@copilot Track times and Caching looks better, But track durations and start time is not getting set on the clients.

Take another look at https://github.com/michaelherger/RadioParadise to determine how track times are set. The main difference, is that RadioParadise pulls the track data when needed, we cannot set tracktime, until we get the new information from xmplaylists.com.

We should also adjust our metadata timer based on the calculated track start time, and the track duration. Rather than just a flat 25 seconds. When the track elapsed time > Track duration, then show the default channel metadata, and update from xmplaylist.com every 15s until we get new track information.

Implemented dynamic track timing system following RadioParadise pattern. Key changes:

Fixed Track Duration & Timing Display:

  • Now sets duration immediately when available from database/API (like RadioParadise)
  • Uses proper startPlaybackTime in block data instead of invalid track_elapsed metadata
  • Follows RadioParadise's block data pattern for LMS integration

Dynamic Metadata Timer:

  • Replaces fixed 25s interval with dynamic timing based on track duration
  • Uses 15s polling when track elapsed > duration (waiting for new track)
  • Uses 5s minimum interval when track is ending soon
  • Calculates timer to not exceed remaining track time

Track Transition Handling:

  • When elapsed > duration, automatically shows channel metadata
  • Polls every 15s until new track information arrives from xmplaylists.com
  • Seamless transition between track and channel display

The implementation now properly displays track durations and progress timing in LMS clients, with better integration with LMS player controls. (a54575a)

@copilot tracking track times are not accurate enough for display. Remove all the code that is trying to update the track timing on the display. Only use the time set the timer triggering metadata updates. Should assume the track start time from xmplaylist is not very accurate.

Set the metadata refresh timer to MusicBrainz Duration - Current Time - xmplaylist Start time - 30 or 15s whichever is greater.

Removed all track timing display code as requested. Track duration information is now used only for calculating metadata refresh timer intervals, not for display. Implemented the simplified timer formula: Duration - (Current Time - Start Time) - 30 or 15s minimum. No more elapsed time calculations or display logic. (699446c)

Modified the timer calculation to track timing internally using xmplaylist timestamp data directly instead of relying on song data stored in blockData. The function now parses the timestamp internally and calculates intervals without external dependencies. (09d1d7c)

Fixed the metadata timer issue. The problem was that the async duration lookup was completing after the metadata was already set on the song, so _calculateNextUpdateInterval couldn't find the duration. Now the async callback updates the current song's metadata with the duration when it's found, allowing the timer calculation to work properly. (3d14f91)

@copilot I'm still seeing changing track durations. Here is a log showing different times.

...

Fixed both issues in the logs you provided:

1. Duplicate MusicBrainz API calls: Added lookup progress tracking to prevent multiple concurrent API calls for the same track, even when database already has cached data.

2. Timer stuck at 25s: The issue was that async duration lookups completed after timer calculation. Now when duration is found, it triggers a timer recalculation and preserves timing info during channel transitions.

The system now properly uses dynamic intervals (53s, 15s, etc.) based on track duration instead of falling back to default 25s. (8f7cde8)
