Fork of ad-on-is/lidarr-deemix with some small improvements. Should be considered experimental

• Configurable url for metadata server (currently defaults to api.musicinfo.pro)
• Adds deemix release into musicbrainz release group where possible so both can be visible to Lidarr
• Improved handling and matching of release titles
• Re-implemented live album detection based on track tags
• Artists tagged with mb_only will not have deemix results returned that are not also on musicbrainz. Useful when there's multiple artists with the same name

Lidarr++Deemix

"If Lidarr and Deemix had a child"

💡 How it works

Lidarr usually pulls artist and album infos from their own api api.lidarr.audio, which pulls the data from MusicBrainz.

However, MusicBrainz does not have many artists/albums, especially for some regional niche artist.

This tool helps to enrich Lidarr, by providing a custom proxy, that hooks into the process without modifying Lidarr itself, and injects additional artists/albums from deemix.

To do that, the following steps are performed:

• mitmproxy runs as a proxy
• Lidarr needs to be configured to use that proxy.
• The proxy then redirects all api.lidarr.audio calls to an internally running NodeJS service (127.0.0.1:7171)
• That NodeJS service enriches the missing artists/albums with the ones found in deemix
• Lidarr has now additiona artists/albums, and can do its thing.

💻️ Installation

Caution

If you have installed an older version, please adjust the Proxy settings as described below, otherwise the HTTP-requests will fail

Warning

This image does not come with Lidarr nor with the deemix-gui. It's an addition to your existing setup.

Note

The previous setup required to map additional volumes for certificate validation. Thx to @codefaux, here's now a simpler way for installation.

• Use the provided docker-compose.yml as an example.
  • DEEMIX_ARL=xxx your deezer ARL (get it from your browsers cookies)
  • LIDARR_URL=http://lidarr:8686 The URL of your Lidarr instance (with port), so this library can communicate with it.
  • LIDARR_API_KEY=xxx The Lidarr API Key.
  • LIDARR_METADATA_SERVER=https://api.lidarr.audio URL for metadata server
  • SELF_HOSTED_METADATA=false Removes "/api/v0.4" from path in requests to metadata server. Set to true if self-hosting
  • MERGE_RELEASES=true Adds Deemix metadata into musicbrainz release group if both exist. Allows importing Deemix downloads when the number of tracks differs to the release on musicbrainz
• Go to Lidarr -> Settings -> General
  • Certificate Validation: to Disabled
  • Use Proxy: ✅
  • Proxy Type: HTTP(S)
  • Hostname: container-name/IP of the machine where lidarr-deemix is running
  • Port: 8080 (if using container-name), otherwise the port you exposed the service to
  • Bypass Proxy for local addresses: ✅
