Wikipedia on artist, album, song and genre pages

Artist, album and genre pages show the opening of their Wikipedia article in an About section, and the player has an About this song panel.

  • Read more opens the whole article inside Leyr, with its Creative Commons attribution.
  • Articles come in your language when Wikipedia has one, otherwise in English. Pages with no article simply leave the section out.

Uploaded pictures can be used as album covers

A picture you upload in the artwork picker now applies as the album cover instead of being refused.

  • If applying the cover fails, the picture stays selected and the picker says why.

The status page gets its own wordmark

status.leyr.stream now has the dotted LEYR STATUS wordmark and a dotted LEYR ending in a pulse, like the Cloud, Artists and Control pages.

  • The dots take the colour of Leyr's overall status: green when everything is running, gold or red when something isn't, grey while the page is checking.

Maintenance stands out on the status page

Planned maintenance now shows in blue on the Leyr status page, so it is easy to tell apart from an outage.

  • Maintenance periods in each service's history bar are filled blue instead of outlined.
  • Scheduled maintenance notices carry a blue edge and heading, and the status mark turns blue while work is under way.

Search is ready to type on phones

Tapping Search on a phone now puts the cursor in the search box, so you can start typing straight away.

  • Tapping Search again keeps what you already typed.

Instance status in Leyr Control

Leyr Control has an Instance status tab showing whether this Leyr is ready, how each part checked out and what needs attention.

  • Checks older than half an hour count as unknown, so the page never claims everything is fine on stale data.
  • On Leyr Cloud, download connectors that the Cloud does not run are left out.
  • Like the rest of Control, it asks you to step up first, even from a direct link.

Your music, your data

The Leyr website explains who runs your server and who controls access to your library.

  • Self-hosted Leyr: Your Music, Your Server, Your Data. Leyr Cloud: Your Music, Our Server, Your Data.
  • Cloud plan cards now show 100 GB, 250 GB, 1 TB and 1 TB at the existing base prices, with monthly add-on charges and examples.
  • The install guide explains self-hosted feature parity and the release status of Control, community membership and invitations.
  • The website screenshots follow the album selected in the example player.

A status page for Leyr

See whether Leyr, Leyr Cloud and the Leyr websites are working, and how they have done over the past day, week, month or year.

  • Each part of Leyr has its own row: the app, Cloud, Control, the website and demo, the install guide, the artist programme and this changelog.
  • Leyr is checked every minute from several networks. Tap a bar to see what happened in that hour or day.
  • The page says plainly when there is no data yet instead of showing an all-clear.
  • It covers Leyr's own websites and Leyr Cloud. A server you run yourself is not shown.

Bring playlists from other music apps

Import XSPF playlists with a match preview, or export playlist metadata for another app to resolve.

  • Find XSPF alongside M3U and M3U8 in Playlists → Import, and in each playlist’s export menu. XSPF preserves titles, artists, albums, durations, order and duplicate entries without private stream links.
  • Ambiguous track matches stay unmatched for you to review. Non-Latin artist and track names remain distinct during matching.
  • The Bring your library section explains shared music folders and Subsonic players. Automatic syncing of personal data between servers is still planned.

Control showcase reaches its public home

The Control product page now loads at control.leyr.stream from home and public networks.

  • The showcase uses the published website endpoint. Live administration stays restricted to allowed networks and authenticated accounts.

A closer look at Leyr Control

Explore the tool built into Leyr for accounts, access and server settings.

  • A product page introduces Control with a clearly labelled interactive example.
  • Self-hosted setup and planned Cloud access are explained separately. The live administration interface remains protected.

A new Leyr Control page, and marks for Artists and Control

control.leyr.stream is rebuilt to show what Control does and how it keeps your server safe, and Leyr Artists and Leyr Control get their own marks.

  • The Control page has a clickable preview of people, requests, health and the audit log, with example data.
  • It explains the two-factor step-up, the home-network limit, the audit log and the host commands for when you are locked out.
  • artists.leyr.stream and control.leyr.stream now show their own mark, and their dotted LEYR wordmark ends in a microphone or a cog.

Cloud libraries require an approved account

Access to a Cloud library now requires an approved account on that instance.

  • Share links and listening rooms require sign-in. Cloud disables anonymous public access, room guests and unauthenticated sharing integrations.
  • Revoked accounts cannot keep using download tokens or library credentials. Share previews no longer expose private track metadata.
  • The hosting operator can still access server data. This is account access control, not end-to-end encryption. Self-hosted sharing stays available.

Clearer artwork search and rescan errors

Artwork searches distinguish unavailable sources from empty results and keep existing choices when Refresh fails.

  • Switching between album and track artwork clears errors from the previous search.
  • Library actions stay on the address you opened. Connection and server errors explain what happened without silently repeating a scan.
ImprovedLeyr

Artists page shows two ways to get started

The artists page now opens with Your Music, Your Community, Your Sales and offers Leyr Cloud or a free self-hosted install.

  • A new Get started section compares Leyr Cloud hosting with running Leyr on your own hardware.
  • Both paths link back to the artist application, which is still how artists apply.

  • The review queue requires operator access and keeps a history of decisions.
  • Artists can read a preparation checklist for music, shops and communities.
  • Email delivery is not enabled. Queued messages have not been sent.

Manage your Leyr account

Sign in with a local account and manage your profile and account security in Leyr.

  • Open Account to change your profile or password, set up an authenticator, save recovery codes and sign out sessions.
  • Control holders can invite people, issue password-reset links and manage account access after a separate security check.
  • Your instance controls whether new accounts need approval or an invitation.

Artist applications are open

Artists can now apply for Leyr Servers and tell us about their music and the community they want to bring with them.

  • The artist page explains the planned path from applying to setting up your server.
  • Direct sales, subscriptions and community integrations are still coming. Applying does not connect accounts or import fans.
