Problem

When trying to play artist songs or casual songs (like "2015 hits") via voice play, it would play default result and not what i asked for or simply plays a song that has a title containing the artist name.

Cause

  • My previous implementation didn't handle correctly the voice search selected song when no song was selected (null).
  • The candidate scoring simply did an harmonic mean, but the low title coverage should be more important.

Solution

  • Handle the selected song so if there is none, it will fallback to searchResults.map.
  • Adjust candidate score to be lower if the query coverage is high and the the title coverage is low.

Testing

Tested on Android Auto Desktop Head Unit (DHU).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Android Auto voice-search playback when no single song is selected; matching search results can now play as a playlist instead of stopping.
    • Prevented radio playback from starting without a valid song selection.
    • Improved voice-search matching by reducing misleading matches where a query closely matches the artist but poorly matches the song title.
    • Queue titles now more accurately reflect the selected song or search query.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Voice search matching now penalizes weak title matches. Android Auto playback now falls back to all search results when no song is selected and avoids entering the radio queue path in that case.

Changes

Voice search playback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Adjust fuzzy match scoring
app/src/main/kotlin/com/metrolist/music/playback/VoiceSearchMatcher.kt
Fuzzy matches receive a 15% penalty when query coverage exceeds 90% and title coverage is at most 50%.
Handle queue construction without a selected song
app/src/main/kotlin/com/metrolist/music/playback/MediaLibrarySessionCallback.kt
The radio queue requires a selected song. The fallback queue uses the selected song or all search results, and uses the search query as its title when no song is selected.

Voice search now penalizes weak title matches and queues search results when no song is selected. The behavior is implemented, but targeted regression coverage is still needed for the score boundaries and null-selection playback fallback.

Add regression coverage for the new score penalty.

When queryCoverage > 0.9 and titleCoverage <= 0.5, verify the 0.85 multiplier. Add boundary cases for queryCoverage == 0.9 and titleCoverage == 0.5.

Add regression coverage for the null-selection queue path.

When VoiceSearchMatcher.findBest returns null with non-empty searchResults, verify that YouTubeQueue.radio is not used, all results are returned, and ListQueue uses searchQuery as its title.
