- XML Refactoring: Transitioned from manual string concatenation to
structured XML marshaling using specialized Go models to match upstream
API responses exactly.
- Service Enhancements: Implemented robust device discovery via power_on
handling, improved source metadata persistence, and standardized ID
generation logic.
- Parity & Consistency: Fixed data loss and formatting mismatches for
lastplayedat, serialNumber, and nested <source> elements.
- Infrastructure & Testing: Added a comprehensive suite of regression
and parity reproduction tests, centralized common XML constants, and
documented progress.

- Add RFC-compliant wildcard certificates (*.api.bose.io, *.api.bosecm.com) for automatic API coverage
- Include additional Bose production domains (worldwide.bose.com, music.api.bose.com, bose-prod.apigee.net)
- Implement TLS certificate request logging and wildcard domain matching logic
- Add detailed TLS handshake debugging with connection state tracking
- Wrap TLS listener with logging to capture certificate selection and handshake failures
- Update documentation with wildcard certificate coverage and debugging features
- Normalize test data to use consistent local IP addresses
This enables automatic coverage of all current and future Bose API subdomains
while providing comprehensive TLS debugging for DNS redirection troubleshooting.
Enhances device identification by adding MAC address normalization and comprehensive documentation.
- Add `MAC-ADDRESS-MAPPING.md` guide explaining device identification and troubleshooting.
- Implement `normalizeMAC` in `DataStore` to handle various MAC formats (case-insensitive, with/without separators).
- Export `EnrichDeviceInfo` in UPnP discovery to allow better integration and testing.
- Update `TROUBLESHOOTING.md` with a new section on device identification issues.
- Add comprehensive integration and diagnostic tests for MAC mapping, case sensitivity, and UPnP discovery.
- Update documentation structure (`README.md`, `SUMMARY.md`) to include the new mapping guide.
Implements the ability to mirror local requests to the official Bose
Cloud in the background, allowing for real-time comparison and parity
analysis between the emulated service and the original backend.
Core Changes:
- Implement `MirrorMiddleware` for asynchronous and synchronous mirroring.
- Add `Parity Logger` to detect discrepancies in status, headers, and body.
- Implement storage for parity mismatches in `data/parity_mismatches/`.
- Add `Internal Paths` configuration to exclude management traffic from logs.
Web UI & API:
- Add "Parity & Mirroring" tab to the Web UI for discrepancy analysis.
- Integrated "Internal Paths" configuration in Settings.
- Add "mirror" category filter to the Interactions UI.
- Implement endpoints for listing and clearing parity mismatches.
Infrastructure & Tools:
- Extend `setup.Manager` with `HTTPGet` override for reliable testing.
- Add CLI flags `--mirror-enabled`, `--mirror-endpoints`, and `--internal-paths`.
- Update `datastore.Settings` to persist mirroring and internal path configurations.
Tests:
- Add `pkg/service/handlers/mirror_test.go` for middleware verification.
- Update `TestProxySettingsAPI` and `TestRecordMiddleware` for new settings.
- Refactor `TestMigrationAndCA` to use mocked network calls (30x speedup).
This implementation follows the reference from soundcork pull request #158. It adds RADIO_BROWSER to the known providers and includes the service configuration in bmx_services.json. Documentation has also been added to explain how to use the RadioBrowser feature. Credits to @gmuth (https://github.com/gmuth) for the original idea and implementation in soundcork. Reference: https://github.com/deborahgu/soundcork/pull/158
This update adds explicit verification checks after applying changes via XML, Hosts, and ResolvConf migration methods. The service now verifies that configuration files are correctly updated on the device before considering the migration successful, preventing unreliable states.
This update allows the service to correctly patch both /etc/udhcpc.d/50default and /opt/Bose/udhcpc.script (used in SoundTouch 10 firmware) for DNS redirection. It also improves robustness by adding file existence checks in rc.local and ensures clean state by reverting to .original backups during migration.
