v0.61.1
Added 4
- Add EnableWebPEncoding config option to opt-in to WebP encoding for resized artwork

- Add sampleRate, codec, and missing fields for smart playlist criteria
- Add missing viper defaults for MPVPath, ArtistImageFolder, and Plugins.LogLevel so they can be overridden via environment variables and config files
Changed 2
- Lower DevArtworkMaxRequests default from max(4, NumCPU) to max(2, NumCPU/2) to reduce load on low-power hardware
- Update go-sqlite3 to v1.14.38 and go-toml to v2.3.0
Fixed 4
- Address WebP performance regression on low-power hardware by preserving original image format when WebP encoding is disabled
- Preserve animation for square thumbnails with animated images
- Strip OpenSubsonic extensions from playlists for legacy clients to improve compatibility
- Return proper artwork ID format in getInternetRadioStations
Removed 1
- Remove DevJpegCoverArt config option, replaced by EnableWebPEncoding
This patch release addresses a WebP performance regression on low-power hardware introduced in v0.61.0, adds a new EnableWebPEncoding config option and a configurable UI cover art size, and includes several Subsonic API and translation fixes.
Configuration Changes
| Status | Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| New | EnableWebPEncoding | Opt-in to WebP encoding for resized artwork. When false (default), Navidrome uses JPEG/PNG (preserving the original source format), avoiding the WebP WASM encoder overhead that caused slow image processing on low-power hardware in v0.61.0. Set to true to re-enable WebP output. Replaces the internal DevJpegCoverArt flag. (#5286) | false |
| New | UICoverArtSize | Size (in pixels, 200–1200) of cover art requested by the web UI. It was increased from 300px to 600px in 0.61.0; now configurable and defaulting to 300px to reduce image encoding load on low-power hardware. Users on capable hardware can raise it for sharper thumbnails. (#5286) | 300 |
| Changed | DevArtworkMaxRequests | Default lowered from max(4, NumCPU) to max(2, NumCPU/2) to reduce load on low-power hardware. (#5286). (Note: this is an internal configuration and can be removed in future releases) | max(2, NumCPU/2) |
| Removed | DevJpegCoverArt | Replaced by the user-facing EnableWebPEncoding option. (#5286) | — |
