- Every provider can look an entry up again by its ID (TMDB, TheTVDB,
IGDB, Deezer, MusicBrainz, Wikipedia); search and lookup share parsing
- POST /api/items/{id}/refresh re-applies title, subtitle, year,
description, link, details and artwork. Kept: the "why" note, rank,
theater production/venue/cast and a theater entry's year, the Deezer
preview match. Empty source fields don't erase existing values
- New items.image_custom column (migration 4; existing uploads marked)
records artwork the owner chose; refresh keeps it unless asked
- Refused for custom lists and hand-added entries; entries the source
dropped are reported, and a refresh whose title shares no words with
the current one is rejected as a likely bad ID
- Editor: refresh button per row (asks about the owner's own artwork),
and "Refresh all" with a confirm step, replace-my-art checkbox,
progress with Stop, and a summary of problems

Search
- Albums and songs search Deezer and MusicBrainz at once and merge the
results: duplicates keep the Deezer copy, best word matches first.
Deezer's search misses albums it carries (Death Magnetic) and most game
soundtracks; MusicBrainz finds them
- MusicBrainz secondary types are shown ("Soundtrack", "Live")
- Settings: Deezer + MusicBrainz (default), Deezer only, MusicBrainz only
- Search results show which service they came from
Previews
- Songs and albums get a play button (cards, rows, detail view, editor,
and Deezer search results) for a 30-second Deezer clip; albums play
their most popular track
- Clips are looked up fresh (Deezer URLs expire), cached 10 minutes, and
streamed through Canon with Range support; hidden lists stay private
- Entries from MusicBrainz or added by hand are matched to Deezer on save
so they can preview too
- "Play previews" toggle in Settings → Profile
Tests cover merging and title/artist matching; `-tags live` runs checks
against the real services.
