Replaced all occurrences of g_error() with MPD_ERROR() located in a new header
file 'mpd_error.h'. This macro uses g_critical() to print the error message
and then exits gracefully in contrast to g_error() which would internally call
abort() to produce a core dump.
The macro name is distinctive and allows to find all places with dubious error
handling. The long-term goal is to get rid of MPD_ERROR() altogether. To
facilitate the eventual removal of this macro it was added in a new header
file rather than to an existing header file.
This fixes#2995 and #3007.
Added support for a new optional configuration setting for the httpd output
named "bind_to_address". Setting it to a specific IP address (v4 or v6) will
cause the httpd output to bind to that address exclusively. Supporting
multiple addresses in parallel is future work.
This implements the feature requests #2998 and #2646.
According to the mantis bug report 2847, there are several possible
variations of the "album artist" tag:
- "album artist"
- "album_artist"
- "albumartist"
This patch adds support for the latter two.
I've added PIPE_EVENT_SHUTDOWN because calling g_main_loop_quit() do not work when called from another thread.
Main thread was sleeping in g_poll() so I needed some way to wake it up.
By some strange reason call close(event_pipe[0]) in event_pipe_deinit() hangs.
In current implementation that code never reached so that was not a problem :-)
I've added a conditional to leave event_pipe[0] open on Win32.
The ReplayGain filter clamped the gain to max. 100 % even if the
algorithm determined the signal needed a boost. That would result in any
such tracks being played with too low volume, effectively defeating the
purpose of the filter.
Unfortunately, there's no "optimized" implementation here. We can't
use Linux's proprietary system call dup3(), because it would require
us to specify the new descriptor.
If a song with an absolute path points inside the music directory,
print only the relative part. This happens when partial songs from a
playlist file were loaded.
I've already changed the "playlistinfo" command to hide HTTP
passwords, but forgot to do the same for the simpler "playlist"
command. This patch changes queue_print_uris() to use the code from
song_print_uri().
MPD doesn't have child processes anymore, and thus we're not expecting
to receive SIGCHLD very often. Since hard disk access isn't
interrupted by signals anyway, we don't need those excessive checks.
