Meson 0.47.1 suffers from a bug which breaks linking the MPD
executable because the `-lpthread` flag is not propagated from our
`thread.a`.
See https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/3895Closes#403
Thanks to C++14, we can declare and fill variables inside `constexpr`
functions. This means me can stop make assumptions on the `struct`
layouts without losing `constexpr`.
Closes#393
Bugs in libroar which broke the MPD build have been annoying me for
quite some time, and the newest bug has now hit my main build machine:
https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/377
Problem is the usage of the typedef `_IO_off64_t` in libroar's
`vio_stdio.h`:
int roar_vio_to_stdio_lseek (void *__cookie, _IO_off64_t *__pos, int __w);
This `_IO_off64_t` is an internal implementation detail of glibc and
was removed in version 2.28. Nobody must ever use it. Why the ****
did the RoarAudio developers use it? Not using internal typedefs
isn't exactly rocket science.
This annoys me enough to finally remove the plugin. Anyway, I've
never heard of anybody using RoarAudio, so my best guess is that
nobody will notice.
The compile-time calculation for `factor` overflows because `1<<31`
cannot be represented by `int`. By casting to `uintmax_t` first, we
can avoid this overflow.
Closes#380
Grouping in the "list" command was completely broken from the start,
unlike "count group". I have no idea what I have been thinking when I
wrote commit ae178c77bd, but it didn't
make any sense.
This commit is a rewrite of the feature.
For clients to be able to detect this feature, this commit also
increments the protocol version.
So long, autotools! This is my last MPD related project to migrate
away from it. It has its strengths, but also very obvious weaknesses
and weirdnesses. Today, many of its quirks are not needed anymore,
and are cumbersome and slow. Now welcome our new Meson overlords!
Previously, there was the setting `buffered_before_play` which
specified a percentage of the audio buffer, defaulting to `10%`. That
was working well enough for quite some time, until high-quality audio
formats became common.
At 44.1 kHz, 16 bit stereo, MPD collected 2.3 seconds worth of data in
the buffer before starting playback. With the same default settings
and 192 kHz, 24 bit stereo, that was only 0.27 seconds.
Making this depend on the byte size only leads to high latency at low
quality, and too little data at high quality. The natural choice
would be to use a duration instead of a byte size, which should give
the same good experience with all audio formats.
Since the `buffered_before_play` configuration setting was not
understood well by users and caused more harm than good, this commit
deprecates it. It has now no effect.
- add Settings: Activity to start / stop MPD Service (Main).
- Main is a service that run in foreground with a notification. See
Service.startForeground documentation for more details.
- Main.Client is used to control the service: start or stop it and also receive
callbacks when service encounters an error, is killed, is started or is
stopped.
- Main.start to start the service without any fallback.
When using a database that was not created with a WebDAV music_directory
(i.e., if using a remote database, on which updates happen locally) and
using the Curl storage plugin, MPD would previously send GET requests that
had unescaped spaces in them. This change uses Curl's URL-encode API to
solve this.
With a "+" or "-" prefix, the "metadata_to_use" setting can manipulate
the existing default. This way, one can enable `TAG_COMMENT` without
having to list all the other tags.
