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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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).
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.
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.
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.
