When there is no Content-Type response header, try the "mad" decoder
plugin. It uesd to be named "mp3", and we forgot to change the
fallback name in decoder_thread.c.
When a received chunk of data has only icy-metadata, there was no
usable data left for input_curl_read() to return, and thus it returned
0 bytes. "0" however is a special value for "end of file" or
"error". This patch makes input_curl_read() read more data from the
socket, until the read request can be fulfilled (or until there's
really EOF).
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".
When the ID3 tag in an AAC file is larger than the current buffer, the
function decoder_buffer_consume() aborts. By using the new function
decoder_buffer_skip() instead, we can safely skip the ID3 tag.
using ov_test_callback with function CALLBACKS_STREAMONLY will cause
scanning to stop after the comment field. ov_open (and ov_test)
default to CALLBACKS_DEFAULT which scans the file structure causing a
huge slowdown. The speed improvement is huge: It scanned my files
around 10x faster This procedure has been recommended by monthy (main
vorbis developer) and was said to be safe for scanning files.
MPD checks if every flac (possibly other types as well) file contains
cuesheet on every update, which produces unneeded I/O. My music
collection is on NFS share, so it's quite noticeable. IMHO, it
shouldn't re-read unchanged files, so I wrote simple patch to fix it.
Explicitly make the output thread leave the ao_pause() loop. This
patch is a workaround, and the "pause" flag is not managed in a
thread-safe way, but that's good enough for now.
The function flac_cue_track() first calls FLAC__metadata_object_new(),
then overwrites this pointer with FLAC__metadata_get_cuesheet(). This
allocate two FLAC__StreamMetadata objects, but the first pointer is
lost, and never freed.
When libid3tag is disabled, the libmad decoder plugin is unable to
identify ID3 frames. If the file starts with an (unidentified) ID3
frame, it assumes that the file is not a valid MP3 song. This patch
solves this by adding minimal stubs for the ID3 functions.
The function tag_ape_load() retrieves a 32 bit unsigned integer from
the input file, and passes it to g_malloc(). This is dangerous, and
may be used for a denial of service attack on MPD.
The expression "tagLen - size > 0" may result in an integer underflow
and a buffer overflow, when "size" is larger than "tagLen". "size" is
read from the input file, and must not be trusted. This patch changes
the expression to "tagLen > size", which is a lot safer.
When the filesystem_charset is changed in mpd.conf, MPD should discard
the old database. In this error branch, MPD did not fill the GError
object properly, and logged a warning message instead, which caused a
segmentation fault.
