On some hardware, reading the mixer value from hardware is an
expensive operation, and MPD has to do it for every client. Throttle
access to the hardware, cache the result for one second.
time() is not a monotonic timer, and MPD might get confused by clock
skews. clock_gettime() provides a monotonic clock, but is not
portable to non-POSIX systems (i.e. Windows). This patch uses GLib's
GTimer API, which aims to be portable.
If an input_stream is not seekable, libaudiofile fails to play at all:
Audio File Library: unrecognized audio file format [error 0]
Since we know in advance whether the input_stream is seekable, just
refuse to play on a non-seekable stream.
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.
Create the socket_util.c library, the first function is
sockaddr_to_string(): it converts a sockaddr struct to a string
containing the IP address in a human-readable form.
When checking whether database entries have been deleted, don't check
if an archive file is a directory (G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR), use
G_FILE_TEST_IS_REGULAR for this case instead. To determine if a
"struct directory" is an archive, check for device==DEVICE_INARCHIVE.
This is always false after loading the database, so this patch is not
complete yet.
Remember the modification time of each directory. This is important
for archives (which are virtual directories right now), but may also
be useful for an automatic update mechanism.
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.
Since we introduced a GLib logging domain, the "client" string appears
twice in the log lines:
client: client 0: command returned 0
Removed the second one, now it looks like this:
client: [0] command returned 0
Still not quite good, but better than before.
MPD used to be silent when it could stat() a directory, but could not
opendir() it to read its contents. This caused a lot of support
headache with users who have wrong file permissions. Add another
warning message.
There's no point in declaring num_items as a uint8_t, it doesn't save
any space, due to padding. This allows us to lift the articial "255
items" limitation.
