When all plugins have failed, MPD used to fall back to the "mad"
decoder plugin, to handle those radio streams without a Content-Type
response header. This however leads to unexpected results (garbage
being played) when the stream isn't really mp3. Since we care little
about "bad" streams, we shouldn't have hacks which have bad side
effects.
Let's get rid of this hack now! Only try to "mad" plugin if there was
no match at all (Content-Type, path suffix) and no other plugin has
been tried.
To allow libavformat to detect the format of the input file, append
the suffix of the input file to the URL of the virtual stream. This
specifically enables the "shorten" codec, which is supported by
libavformat/raw.c, detected only by the suffix.
The patch "input/file: don't fall back to parent directory" introduced
a regression: when trying to play a CUE track, decoder_run_song()
tries to open the file as a stream first, but this fails, because the
path is virtual.
This patch fixes decoder_run_song() (instead of reverting the previous
patch) to accept input_stream_open() failures if the song is a local
file. It passes the responsibility to handle non-existing files to
the decoder's file_decode() method.
This replaces the rewinding buffer code from the CURL input plugin.
It is more generic, and allows rewinding even when the server sends
Icy-Metadata (which would have been too difficult to implement within
the CURL plugin).
This is a rather complex patch for the stable branch (v0.15.x), but it
fixes a serious problem: the "vorbis" decoder plugin was unable to
play streams with Icy-Metadata, because it couldn't rewind the stream
after detecting the codec (Vorbis vs. FLAC).
When collecting tag values for the result set, add all of a song's tag
values of the searched type. This affects the "list" command.
Previously, "list" only considered the first tag value of a song.
Don't clear the music pipe when seeking has failed - check the
"seeking" flag instead of "command==SEEK". Clear the "seeking" flag
in decoder_seek_error().
Use the plugin instead of the glue code in normalize.c. This is used
wrapped inside a "autoconv" filter, to enable normalization for all
input file formats.
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.
