A CLI one-off search leaves its result set in the daemon until someone forgets it, and an attached TUI made that permanent state expensive: every 100ms tick asked for the search list twice, and each answer deep-cloned every result of every search under the context lock just to sum file counts - stalling the thread that stores incoming results. Worse, any active or selected search pulled its entire result set over the socket again each tick, megabytes of JSON repeating what the window already held. search.list is now backed by search_file_counts, a walk of the cache instead of a copy of it; the TUI syncs once per tick and re-fetches a result set only when the session's file count differs from what it holds. get_search_results_count reads the same summary, so get --pick first against a daemon polls a count instead of the full set, and both session kinds now count files where the local one counted peer responses.
soulseek-rs-lib
A Rust library for implementing the Soulseek peer-to-peer protocol.
Website: https://re-invention.nl/soulseek-rs/
About
This library provides the core functionality for interacting with the Soulseek network. It can be used to build custom Soulseek clients or bots.
Usage
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
soulseek-rs-lib = "8"
Example
Simple Usage
use soulseek_rs::Client;
use std::time::Duration;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Create and connect to Soulseek server
let mut client = Client::new("username", "password");
client.connect()?;
client.login()?;
// Search for files
let results = client.search("Alex Kassian lifestream", Duration::from_secs(10))?;
// Download first available file
if let Some(result) = results.iter().find(|r| !r.files.is_empty()) {
let file = &result.files[0];
let (_download, status) = client.download(
file.name.clone(),
file.username.clone(),
file.size,
"~/Downloads".to_string(),
)?;
// `download` returns as soon as the request is queued: the transfer is
// finished when the channel says so, not when this call returns.
for update in status {
println!("{}: {update:?}", file.name);
}
}
Ok(())
}
Advanced Configuration
use soulseek_rs::{Client, ClientSettings, PeerAddress};
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Create client with custom settings
let settings = ClientSettings {
server_address: PeerAddress::new("server.slsknet.org".to_string(), 2416),
enable_listen: true,
listen_port: 3000,
..ClientSettings::new("username", "password")
};
let mut client = Client::with_settings(settings);
client.connect()?;
client.login()?;
Ok(())
}
Asking about a peer
The server-backed lookups are request/poll pairs: you ask, then read the
answer once it lands. request_user_info clears any previous answer first, so
the loop below observes this request rather than the last one.
use soulseek_rs::Client;
use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::{Duration, Instant};
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let mut client = Client::new("username", "password");
client.connect()?;
client.login()?;
client.request_user_info("someuser")?;
let deadline = Instant::now() + Duration::from_secs(10);
while Instant::now() < deadline {
if let Some(info) = client.user_info("someuser") {
// Presence and stats are separate replies, so each is an Option:
// a reply that never arrived is None, not "offline" or "shares nothing".
println!("{:?} {:?}", info.presence, info.stats);
break;
}
sleep(Duration::from_millis(100));
}
// Room membership is kept current from join and leave events.
println!("{:?}", client.room_members("lobby"));
Ok(())
}
ServerMessage and ClientOperation are #[non_exhaustive]: every protocol
message the client learns to handle adds a variant, so match them with a
wildcard arm.
