The configuration options "follow_outside_symlinks" and
"follow_inside_symlinks" let the user control whether MPD should
follow symbolic links in the music directory.
[mk: converted variables to "bool"; moved configuration to
update_global_init()]
Those two functions are called when MPD starts and exits. It allows
the update library to perform global initialization and
deinitialization. The implementations are currently empty.
In contrast to, getBoolConfigParam(), config_get_bool() properly
returns a "bool" value. In case of "unset", it returns the default
value provided by the caller.
I have found something that looks like a bug in MPD:
- When a song is finished, the next one is played and the 'player'
event is emitted.
- When the client sends the status command just after this event, the
songid is the new one but the 'elapsed' time is not reseted to 0.
This is problem because I have implemented the solution using a timer
on client side to compute the elapsed time but with this bug the
elapsed time continues to be incremented on a new song.
assert_static() will help us to find false asserts in compile time. Of
course it only works in case of expressions which can be evaluated
compile time. It cannot be used in global scope.
When MPD quits in a non-clean way, the state file isn't written, and
on the next start, MPD time warps to the previous clean shutdown.
Save the state file every 5 minutes; this will probably be
configurable at a later time.
Note that we don't set a wakeup timer for that: when there is no MPD
traffic, MPD won't wake up to save the state file. This minor bug is
tolerated, because usually there is no change in MPD's state when the
main thread is idle.
If the caller attempts to seek only a few bytes forward, chances are
good that the offset is already in the buffer. In this case, simply
fast-forward the buffer.
If someone calls seek() with an invalid (negative) offset, the curl
implementation of that method returned false, but left this invalid
offset in input_stream.offset. Move the calculation to a temporary
variable.
While waiting for the input stream to become ready, ignore all
commands except STOP. This fixes seeking errors with (remote) songs
which the decoder has already finished.
