Worked on the music-assistant/server repository to deliver enhanced search functionality for SoundCloud, focusing on improving the accuracy and reliability of search results. Addressed duration discrepancies by normalizing duration data and implemented URL encoding to ensure robust handling of search queries, particularly in the face of third-party library quirks. Streamlined the backend by removing unused search types, which simplified the codebase and improved maintainability. Utilized Python for backend development, integrating with the SoundCloud API and applying data parsing techniques to resolve edge cases. The work reduced missed search results and improved user experience by making SoundCloud track discovery more consistent and efficient.
