The shout_mp3 encoder had two bugs: when no song was ever played, MPD
segfaulted during cleanup. Second bug: memory leak, each time the
shout device was opened, lame_init() was called again, and
lame_close() is only called once during shutdown.
Fix this by shutting down LAME each time the clear_encoder() method is
called.
Hi -
independently of libmikmod's other problems - there seems
to be a problem in mpd's wrapper: MikMod_Exit() is called
after the first file is decoded, which frees some ressources
within the mikmod library. An attempt to play a second file
leads to a crash. The appended patch fixes this for me.
(I don't know what the "dup" entry is good for - someone
who knows should review that too.)
best regards

[mk: removed 3 more MikMod_Exit() invocations]
When the user configures a music_directory with a trailing slash, it
may break playlist loading, because MPD expects a double slash. Chop
off the trailing slash.
ffmpeg_tag_internal() does not look for a few tags that mpd
supports. Most noteably:
comment -> TAG_ITEM_COMMENT -> Description
genre -> TAG_ITEM_GENRE -> WM/Genre (not WM/GenreID)
year -> TAG_ITEM_DATE -> WM/Year
I *think* that this is the last of the tags that AVFormatContext() in
ffmpeg supports that mpd also uses.
This patch implements the MMS protocol, by using libmms. It is quite
experimental: it does not support seeking yet, and it is currently
using synchronous I/O, which causes MPD to hang while waiting for the
server.
When waiting for free space in the ring buffer, the JACK plugin
sleeped 10ms until there is enough space. This delay was too large
for low-latency setups (<10ms), and created a lot of xruns. Work
around that by reducing the sleep time to 1ms.
A proper solution for this would be to use an event based approach,
and we will do it, just not now.
When the connection failed once, you had to restart MPD, because it
never cleared the jack_data.shutdown flag. Instead, it refused to
play anything "because there is no client thread" (which is wrong at
that point).
Added all important id tags from the MusicBrainz wiki:
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainzTag
This should automatically enable its suport in the vorbis and flac
decoder plugins.
When the random mode is toggled, MPD did not clear the queue. Because
of this, MPD continued with the next (random or non-random) song
according to the previous mode. Clear the queued song to fix that.
The null plugin synchronizes the playback so it will happen in real
time. This patch adds a configuration option which disables this: the
playback will then be as fast as possible. This can be useful to
profile MPD.
When libvorbis knows that a song is seekable, it seeks around like
crazy in the file before starting to decode it. This is very
expensive on remote HTTP resources, and delays MPD for 10 or 20
seconds.
This patch disables seeking on remote songs, because the advantages of
quickly playing a song seem to weigh more than the theoretical ability
of seeking for most MPD users. If users feel this feature is needed,
we will make a configuration option for that.
When a song file is deleted during database update, all pointers to it
must be removed from the playlist. The "for" loop in
deleteASongFromPlaylist() did not deal with multiple copies of the
deleted song properly, and left instances of the (to-be-invalidated)
pointer in. Fix this by reversing the loop.
If http_proxy_{host, port, user, password} are provided in mpd.conf
they are not passed on to libcurl. As a result mpd cannot stream from
behind an http proxy.
The attached patch `http_proxy.patch` makes the relevant calls to
curl_easy_setopt(...) for all proxy configuration parameters, but is
only tested for host and port.
When the decoder of the new song is not fast enough, the player thread
has to wait for it for a moment. However the variable "nextChunk" was
reset to -1 during that, making the next loop iteration assume that
cross-fading has not begun yet. This patch overwrites it with "0"
while waiting.
This patch fixes a minor memory leak: when decoder_tag() attempted to
send a merged tag object (created by tag_add_stream_tags()), and was
interrupted by a decoder command, it did not free the temporary merged
tag object.
