PROFILE
Richard Newman
Worked on the music-assistant/server repository to deliver automated source selection for multi-source non-PROTOCOL players, enabling seamless integration with Home Assistant and improving automation workflows. Implemented automatic SELECT_SOURCE exposure by aligning model-layer state with capability flags, while preserving existing behavior for PROTOCOL players. Developed Bandcamp integration, surfacing authenticated feeds and wishlists as playable folders in Recommendations to enhance content discovery. Strengthened API resilience by introducing exponential backoff with jitter, updating throttle logic, and capping retries for rate-limited endpoints. Focused on backend development, API integration, and asynchronous programming using Python, with comprehensive unit testing to ensure reliability and prevent regressions.

Jun 1, 2026June 2026 focused on delivering a robust Bandcamp experience and strengthening API resilience in music-assistant/server. Key features delivered Bandcamp integration surfaced in Recommendations with playable folders, enabling direct access to tracks; the authenticated Bandcamp feed is parsed from fan_dash_feed_updates and the wishlist uses cached content. Major reliability improvements were implemented for API rate limits: exponential backoff with jitter, treating Retry-After as a floor, and capping retries. A RateLimited error model was introduced and throttle logic updated, including reducing Bandcamp-specific retries from 10 to 5. Added tests and manual verifications to ensure reliability. Overall, this work improved content discovery and engagement while increasing stability under high-load scenarios.
