libavformat 0.6 does not pass the original URI pointer to the "open"
method, which leads to a crash because MPD was using a dirty hack to
pass a pointer to that method.
This patch switches to av_open_input_stream() with a custom
ByteIOContext class, instead of doing the URI string hack with
av_open_input_file().
Loosely based on a patch from Jasper St. Pierre.
Use the libavformat function av_probe_input_format() to probe the
AVInputFormat, instead of letting av_open_input_file() do it
implicitly. We will switch to av_open_input_stream() very soon, which
does not have the probing code.
Loosely based on a patch from Jasper St. Pierre.
To allow libavformat to detect the format of the input file, append
the suffix of the input file to the URL of the virtual stream. This
specifically enables the "shorten" codec, which is supported by
libavformat/raw.c, detected only by the suffix.
The plugin code tried to force libavcodec to supply stereo samples.
That however has never actually worked. By removing this code, we are
able to play surround files for the first time.
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.
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.
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".
This updates the copyright header to all be the same, which is
pretty much an update of where to mail request for a copy of the GPL
and the years of the MPD project. This also puts all committers under
'The Music Player Project' umbrella. These entries should go
individually in the AUTHORS file, for consistancy.
After much research[1][2][3] this should be the majority of currently
supported file extensions and mime-types for the currently supported
ffmpeg formats. This list maybe incomplete, but it's more complete
than anything else out there that I've been able to find. This list
needs to be updated every now and again as the ffmpeg sources support
more formats.

The "current" variable is used for calculating the seek destination,
and was declared as "int". With very long song files, the 32 bit
integer can overflow. ffmpeg expects an int64_t, which is very
unlikely to overflow. Switch to int64_t.
If avcodec_decode_audio2() returns no output for an AVPacket,
libavcodec may buffer some data, and return a larger chunk of output
later. This patch disables a lot of bogus warnings.
Output the name of the codec as a debug message. During my tests,
ffmpeg never filled this struct member, but it may do so in the past,
and this debug message might become helpful.
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.
The stream_decode() and file_decode() methods returned a boolean,
indicating whether they were able to decode the song. This is
redundant, since we already know that: if decoder_initialized() has
been called (and dc.state==DECODE), the plugin succeeded. Change both
methods to return void.
The function decoder_read() already cares about the decoder command,
and loops until data is available. Reduced mpd_ffmpeg_read() to no
more than the decoder_read() call.
Ogg and ffmpeg detection was disabled when the stream was not
seekable, because the detection was too expensive. Since the curl
input stream can now rewind the stream cheaply, we can re-enable
detection on streams.
Don't pass the "seekable" flag with every decoder_data() invocation.
Since that flag won't change within the file, it is enough to pass it
to decoder_initialized() once per file.
