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.
On Windows only daemonize_close_stdin() function does
something. Other functions are either empty or generate an
error. Those have been moved to header file and declared
static inline so compiler can remove the call all together.
The functions were not "const" (they examined values pointed
by arguments passed to them, quoting gcc's doc: "Note that
a function that has pointer arguments and examines the data
pointed to must _not_ be declared 'const'.") but rather
"pure" and still not all of them.
Note also, that even some of the functions declared "pure"
are not pure, however, due to reasons stated in source code
the attribute has been kept.
The "group" configuration option is similar to "user" as it
sets user set what group MPD shall run as. With "user"
option, MPD changed GID to the GID of the user, however,
more control could be desired.
Moreover, the patch changes the way of checking whether no
setuid(2)/setgid(2) is required -- previously user names
were compered, now UID and GIDs are compered (ie. the one we
already have (getuid(2)/getgid(2)) with the one we want to
change to).
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.
The glue_*() functions act as a glue between MPD's main() function and
its libraries. They handle disabled features, and pass validated
configuration options.
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.
This mixer plugin may be used instead of the traditional global
software mixer. It integrates with the "volume" filter plugin, and
can control the software volume of an audio output which has no
hardware mixer.
Converted the range checks in volume_level_change() to assertions.
Changed all volume types to "unsigned", expect for those which must be
able to indicate error (-1).
When song->mtime was not initialized properly, it was revealed that
strftime() might crash when gmtime_r() returns NULL due to an invalid
time_t input value.
This patch adds initial filter support for audio outputs. Each audio
output gets a "filter" attribute, which is used by ao_play_chunk().
The PCM conversion is now performed by convert_filter_plugin.
audio_output.convert_state has been removed.
A recent change to the boolean parser introduced a bug: instead of
using the block_param's value with get_bool(), we passed param->value
(which is always NULL in this case).
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.
The "volume" filter plugin will replace the current software volume
code. One "volume" filter may be attached to each output device.
This will allow the user to use hardware mixers for some devices, and
software mixers for other devices at the same time.
Currently, neither the filter API nor the "volume" plugin is
integrated into MPD.
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.
This patch fixes an assertion failure:
Assertion `order < queue->length' failed.
This happens when the state file is saved, when there is no "current"
song: current==-1, and queue_order_to_position(-1) is called.
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.
Instead of returning an artificial three-state integer, return a
"success" value and put the boolean value into a "bool" pointer.
That's a little bit more overhead, but an API which looks more
natural.
When decoding a local file, the decoder thread tries to run all
matching decoders, until one succeeds. Both file_decode() and
stream_decode() can decode a stream, but MPD closes the stream before
calling file_decode(). Problem is: when this decoder fails, and the
next's stream_decode() method is invoked, the input_stream is still
closed. This patch reopens it.
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 client_defer_output() aborts the connection to the client,
client_write_output() called client_write_deferred() anyway. This
caused an assertion failure. Fix it by checking for the "expired"
flag again after client_defer_output() returns.
