Pladio Update 1.0.251122.2151

This release delivers significant improvements to Apple Music library integration, and upgraded radio station database quality with higher-resolution station artwork and support for 4 new radio stations (see details below).

Apple Music Library Enhancements

  • Completely redesigned library detection: Rebuilt the library containment check system using Apple's catalog API with relationship querying, providing significantly more reliable detection of whether songs are in your Apple Music library

  • Improved authorisation handling: Added explicit Music authorisation checks before accessing library data, ensuring proper permissions are granted and reducing authorisation-related errors

  • Real-time CarPlay synchronisation: Fixed Add-to-Library button state updates in CarPlay by implementing immediate notification broadcasting when songs are added or removed from your library

Radio Station Database Improvements

  • Upgraded favicon quality: Migrated from 400x400 to 512x512 pixel resolution for radio station logos, ensuring crisp, high-quality station branding across all device displays including Retina screens

  • New QA radiopack bundle: Updated default testing database to World_20251012_QA_512x512_20251122-2128 (378 MB), containing worldwide stations with embedded high-resolution favicons for comprehensive quality assurance

  • New radio stations:

    • FLASHBACK FM (Switzerland)

    • Radio Top (Switzerland)

    • Schwarzwaldradio (Germany)

    • Vintage Radio (Switzerland)

Technical Improvements

This release addresses core reliability issues in Apple Music library integration that could cause the "Add to Library" feature to show incorrect states or fail to detect existing library songs. The new catalog-based approach using relationship queries provides more accurate and consistent results across different iOS versions and Music app configurations. Enhanced logging and error handling make it easier to diagnose permission issues and platform-specific limitations.
