Navidrome Daily: Crash, Playback, and Metadata Fixes
Three unrelated hardening fixes landed: a Jellyfin pagination crash on negative offsets, silent DSD to lossless playback, and missing classical movement numbers. No shared pattern, but each prevents a silent failure for clients or libraries.

No single feature thread today — three separate reliability fixes, each aimed at stopping a different silent failure.
First, API hardening. In pull request 6366, a Jellyfin browsing request with a negative start index caused a slice out-of-range panic, returned as a 500 error, even on an empty library. The start value had no lower bound before reaching the pagination logic, which only guarded the upper end. It also narrowed the…
Second, playback compatibility for high-resolution audio. Pull request 6367 addresses DSD files transcoded to lossless formats like FLAC and WAV. Without probe data, the output rate went out at 352.8 or 705.6 kilohertz, which many players simply can't handle — Amperfy on iOS stayed silent. The rate is now capped at…
Third, classical metadata. Pull request 6357, merged as commit 56cc32a, fixes movement tags. The scanner library reports ID3 and MP4 movement fields under different names that weren't mapped, so only the movement name was stored. Values stored as number-slash-total, like one slash four, parsed as zero. The scanner…
What's next: test negative pagination inputs, verify DSD-to-lossless playback on…
