Fixes a memory leak: the "archive" input plugin opens the archive, but
never closes it. This patch moves the responsibility for doing that
to archive_plugin.open_stream(). This is an slight internal API
change, but it is the simplest and least intrusive fix for the memory
leak.
This fixes an inconsistency in the stored playlist subsystem: when
obtaining the list of playlists (listplaylist, listplaylistinfo), the
file names in the playlist directory are converted to UTF-8 (according
to filesystem_charset), but when saving or loading playlists, the
filesystem_charset setting was ignored.
The plugin code tried to force libavcodec to supply stereo samples.
That however has never actually worked. By removing this code, we are
able to play surround files for the first time.
Allow RIFF/AIFF ID3 tags up to 4 MB (old limit was 256 kB). This
might still be too small for some users, and when somebody complains,
we might do something more clever (like streaming the data into
libid3tag?).
On some platforms, libavcodec wants the output buffer aligned to 16
bytes (because it uses SSE/Altivec internally). It will segfault when
you don't obey this rule.
MPD has been supporting 32 bit samples since version 0.15. This patch
changes one check, and removes the 32->24 conversion code.
Note that WavPack floating point samples have 32 bits, and MPD doesn't
have a special check for floating point - therefore, this WavPack
plugin still returns 24 bit integer samples as before (until we have
float support in the MPD core).
If flac_container_decode() gets a seek destination which is out of
range, it ignores the SEEK command (never finishes it). This leads to
MPD lockup, because the player thread waits for completion.
Drop the required GLib version from 2.16 to 2.12, because many current
systems still don't have GLib 2.16. This requires several new
compatibility functions in glib_compat.h.
ALSA passes full period buffers to the hardware. If an application
doesn't finish writing a period, libasound will nonetheless send the
partial buffer (with undefined trailing data). This causes noise at
the end of playback. This patch attempts to track the current
position within the period buffer, and generates silence at the end,
before calling snd_pcm_drain().
When there's no queued song, and the current one has finished playing,
first make sure that the hardware outputs have really finished playing
the last chunk: call the drain() method in all audio outputs. Without
this patch, MPD stopped playback shortly before the ALSA sound card
had finished playing.
Added the "fd_util" library, which attempts to use the new thread-safe
Linux system calls pipe2(), accept4() and the options O_CLOEXEC,
SOCK_CLOEXEC. Without these, it falls back to FD_CLOEXEC, which is
not thread safe.
This is particularly important for the "pipe" output plugin (and
others, such as JACK/PulseAudio), because we were heavily leaking file
descriptors to child processes.
Same as the previous patch: create up to 16 configured source ports.
The plugin tries to do its best at guessing the right combination for
the given input file, the number of source and destination ports.
Implement the methods enable() and disable(). Bind the HTTP port in
the enable() method, but reject all incoming connections until the
output is opened.
After playback has stopped, the ring buffers may still contain
samples. These will be played when playback is started the next
time. We should clear the buffers each time.
jack_client_new() is deprecated. This requires libjack 0.100
(released nearly 5 years ago). We havn't been testing older libjack
versions anyway.
As a side effect, there is the new option "autostart".
Store a list of supported tag items in the database. When loading a
database which does not have a matching list, we must rescan in order
to get the missing information.
Use a single GString buffer object in all functions loading the
database. Enlarge it automatically for long lines. This eliminates
the maximum line length for tag values. There is still an upper limit
of 512 kB to prevent denial of service, but that's reasonable I guess.
The line buffer had a fixed size of 5 kB, and was allocated on the
stack. This was too small for some users. As a hotfix, we're
increasing the buffer size to 32 kB now, allocated on the heap. In
MPD 0.16, we'll switch to dynamic allocation.
Convert the metadata with the libavformat function av_metadata_conv().
This ensures that canonical tag names are provided by libavformat, and
we can remove the "artist" vs "author" workaround.
When you disable the "follow_outside_symlinks" or the
"follow_inside_symlinks" setting, the next update should remove the
now-ignored files from the database.
This is a complete rewrite of the PulseAudio output plugin. It uses
the asynchronous API, which gives us more control over everything.
Additionally, it connects to the PulseAudio server on startup, and
keeps this connection up while MPD runs. During pause, instead of
closing the stream, it enables "cork".
Don't initialize "vc" and "cs" with FLAC__metadata_object_new(); that
value is overwritten by FLAC__metadata_get_tags() and
FLAC__metadata_get_cuesheet().
When the player thread unpauses, it sends CANCEL to the output thread,
after having checked that the output is still open. Problem is when
the output thread closes the device before it can process the CANCEL
command - race condition. This patch adds another "open" check inside
the output thread.
This has been replaced by the last.fm playlist plugin. The input
plugin has never worked well, and was just a playground to experiment
with the last.fm radio protocol.
When the connection is lost while buffering, the CURL input plugin may
enter an endless loop, because it does not check the EOF condition.
This patch makes fill_buffer() return success only if there's at least
one buffer, which is enough of a check.x
Accidently, MPD has been using several GLib 2.16 functions for a
while, and nobody noticed yet. To simplify the code base, let's bump
the minimum GLib version for MPD to 2.16. That version is old enough,
and it's reasonable to expect users to have it.
On 32 bit systems with large file support enabled (i.e. "sizeof(off_t)
> sizeof(size_t)") gcc emits a warning because a size_t cast to off_t
can never become negative.
When there is no Content-Type response header, try the "mad" decoder
plugin. It uesd to be named "mp3", and we forgot to change the
fallback name in decoder_thread.c.
When a received chunk of data has only icy-metadata, there was no
usable data left for input_curl_read() to return, and thus it returned
0 bytes. "0" however is a special value for "end of file" or
"error". This patch makes input_curl_read() read more data from the
socket, until the read request can be fulfilled (or until there's
really EOF).
No more CD player emulation. The current behaviour of "previous" is
difficult for a client to predict, because it does not definitely know
the current position within the song. If a client wants to restart
the current song, it can always send "playid".
If nothing has changed since the last save, don't save the state
file. Saving will spin up the hard drive, which is undesirable on
hosts where MPD is idling in background.
Usually, we read our "artist" tag from ffmpeg's "author" tag. In some
cases however (e.g. APE), this tag is named "artist". This patch
implements a fallback: if no "author" is found, MPD tries to use
"artist".
When the ID3 tag in an AAC file is larger than the current buffer, the
function decoder_buffer_consume() aborts. By using the new function
decoder_buffer_skip() instead, we can safely skip the ID3 tag.
This patch implements a light-weight inotify library, and watches all
directories below the music directory. It updates all directories
where files changed after a delay of 5 seconds.
using ov_test_callback with function CALLBACKS_STREAMONLY will cause
scanning to stop after the comment field. ov_open (and ov_test)
default to CALLBACKS_DEFAULT which scans the file structure causing a
huge slowdown. The speed improvement is huge: It scanned my files
around 10x faster This procedure has been recommended by monthy (main
vorbis developer) and was said to be safe for scanning files.
The recorder plugin writes audio played by MPD to a file. This may be
useful for recording radio streams.
This implementation is incomplete, because support for tags is
missing, and MPD should be able to record each track to a different
file.
MPD checks if every flac (possibly other types as well) file contains
cuesheet on every update, which produces unneeded I/O. My music
collection is on NFS share, so it's quite noticeable. IMHO, it
shouldn't re-read unchanged files, so I wrote simple patch to fix it.
Explicitly make the output thread leave the ao_pause() loop. This
patch is a workaround, and the "pause" flag is not managed in a
thread-safe way, but that's good enough for now.
The function flac_cue_track() first calls FLAC__metadata_object_new(),
then overwrites this pointer with FLAC__metadata_get_cuesheet(). This
allocate two FLAC__StreamMetadata objects, but the first pointer is
lost, and never freed.
Added a patch to flush out the last.fm input plugin slightly. It
basically turns it into a wrapper for the appropriate plugin. Most
notably metadata is now extracted.
Instead of hard-coding the path "/etc/mpd.conf", use the configured
$(sysconfdir) path. This can be set with:
./configure --sysconfdir=/etc
Note that this changes the default path to "/usr/local/etc/mpd.conf",
given the default prefix "/usr/local". This is actually more correct
than the old default.
When libid3tag is disabled, the libmad decoder plugin is unable to
identify ID3 frames. If the file starts with an (unidentified) ID3
frame, it assumes that the file is not a valid MP3 song. This patch
solves this by adding minimal stubs for the ID3 functions.
The function tag_ape_load() retrieves a 32 bit unsigned integer from
the input file, and passes it to g_malloc(). This is dangerous, and
may be used for a denial of service attack on MPD.
The expression "tagLen - size > 0" may result in an integer underflow
and a buffer overflow, when "size" is larger than "tagLen". "size" is
read from the input file, and must not be trusted. This patch changes
the expression to "tagLen > size", which is a lot safer.
Since version 0.14, MPD has been logging to standard error instead of
standard output. The option name should reflect that. The old option
continues to work, we will remove it in a future MPD release.
This encoder plugin is a replacement for the LAME encoder plugin for
those who prefer a "free" (non-patent encumbered) encoder library.
Most of the plugin source code is copied from the LAME encoder plugin,
since the LAME and TwoLAME APIs are nearly the same.
According to the ID3 2.4 documentation, "TOPE" is "Original
artist/performer", not "performer". Removed "TOPE" support. Instead,
map TPE3 ("Conductor/performer refinement") and TPE4 ("Interpreted,
remixed, or otherwise modified by") to "performer".
The tag_id3.c library supports both the documented "TSO2" tag, and the
inofficial TXXX/ALBUMARTISTSORT.
The Vorbis/FLAC decoder automatically supports the new tag, without
further change.
Do all the software volume stuff inside each output thread, not in the
player thread. This allows one software mixer per output device, and
also allows the user to configure the mixer type (hardware or
software) for each audio output.
This moves the global "mixer_type" setting into the "audio_output"
section, deprecating the "mixer_enabled" flag.
Some clients have visual feedback for "database update is running".
Using the "database" idle event is unreliable, because it is only
emitted when the database was actually modified. This patch adds the
"update" event, which is emitted when the update is started, and again
when the update is finished, disregarding whether it has been
modified.
When the filesystem_charset is changed in mpd.conf, MPD should discard
the old database. In this error branch, MPD did not fill the GError
object properly, and logged a warning message instead, which caused a
segmentation fault.
When MPD was paused, and the client sent the "stop" command (or
"clear"), a glitch caused MPD to continue playback for a split second.
This was because audio_output_all_cancel() calls
audio_output_all_update(), which reopens all output devices, and
re-ignites the playback loop.
At the moment mpd doesn't store or restore the current track to/from
its state file when the daemon is stopped/started while in 'stopped'
state. I believe the preferred behaviour would be to store and
restore the current track even when the daemon is in stopped state
when shutting down.
I made a small patch to adapt this behaviour. If you believe this is
not the preferred behaviour, maybe this should be realized as a
configuration option. I'm not sure how to do this, but made a small
comment, where one would have to put the option.
Several users had problems with binding MPD to "localhost". The cause
was duplicate /etc/hosts entries: the resolver library returns
127.0.0.1 twice, and of course, MPD attempts to bind to "both" of
them. This patch makes failures non-fatal, given that at least one
address was bound successfully. This is a workaround; users should
rather fix their /etc/hosts file.
When all audio outputs have been closed due to failures, pause the
playback instead of stopping it. This way, the user may resume
at the current position after the problem has been dealt with.
The "lastfm" input plugin is far from complete, because MPD does not
support nesting playlists yet. The "fluidsynth" decoder plugin
suffers from shortcomings in the libfluidsynth library:
http://www.mail-archive.com/fluid-dev@nongnu.org/msg01099.html
Even if libsamplerate support is enabled, compile the fallback
resampler. When the user specifies the option
"samplerate_converter=internal", it is chosen in favor of
libsamplerate. This may help users with a weak FPU who don't want to
compile a custom MPD from source, because the fallback resampler does
not use floating point operations.
After a seek, wait until enough new chunks are decoded before starting
playback. If this takes too long, send silence chunks to the audio
outputs meanwhile.
This is similar to the MPD 0.14 patch "wait 10 seconds before
reopening a failed device", which only covered open() failures. This
patch adds the same feature for play().
The default values for buffer_time and period_time were both capped by
the hardware limits on practically all chips. The result was a
period_time which was half as big as the buffer_time. On some chips,
this led to lots of underruns when using a high sample rate (192 kHz),
because MPD had very little time to send new samples to ALSA.
A period time which is one fourth of the buffer time turned out to be
much better. If no period_time is configured, see how much
buffer_time the hardware accepts, and try to configure one fourth of
it as period_time, instead of hard-coding the default period_time
value.
This is yet another attempt to provide a solution which is valid for
all sound chips. Using the SND_PCM_NONBLOCK flag also seemed to solve
the underruns, but put a lot more CPU load to MPD.
The lastfm input plugin enables MPD to play lastfm:// URLs. This
plugin is not complete yet: it plays only the first song in the
last.fm playlist, and the playlist parser isn't even implemented
properly.
This is the first patch in a series to enable 32 bit audio samples in
MPD. 32 bit samples are more tricky than 24 bit samples, because the
integer may overflow when you operate on a sample.
The generic sockaddr struct is too small for some addresses. For
accept(), we have to allocate a sockaddr_storage struct on the stack,
which is large enough for all addresses.
Added the uri_remove_auth() library function which strips username
and password from a HTTP URI, and use it in song_print_url(). This
allows you to add HTTP URIs to the playlist including secret username
and password, without disclosing it to all MPD clients.
If mpd.conf specifies a user, and MPD is invoked by exactly this user,
ignore the "user" setting. Don't bother to look up its groups and
don't attempt to change uid, it won't work anyway.
Use delete_directory() for removing sub directories instead of
dirvec_clear(). This ensures that all memory occupied by
subdirectories of deleted directories is freed.
When a directory is deleted, MPD deleted only the directory from the
database; it did not bother to walk the full tree to free all memory
and to remove deleted songs from the playlist. Replace a
dirvec_delete() with delete_directory().
There are a few problems left in this plugin:
- fluidsynth decodes in real time, while MPD prefers to buffer as
quickly as possible; as a workaround, this plugin uses a timer
object to synchronize with real-time playback
- I don't know yet how fluidsynth tells me when the song has ended
- the "soundfont" configuration setting is not yet documented, and it
will likely change soon (in favor of a per-decoder configuration
block)
Don't define HAVE_FFMPEG if the ffmpeg libraries were found via
pkg-config, but ffmpeg support was disabled because
avcodec_decode_audio2() is not available.
Always assume the buffer is empty before calling the encoder. Always
flush the buffer immediately after there has been added something.
This reduces the risk of buffer overruns, because there will never be
a "rest" in the current buffer.
