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.
Turn the music_pipe into a simple music_chunk queue. The music_chunk
allocation code is moved to music_buffer, and is now managed with a
linked list instead of a ring buffer. Two separate music_pipe objects
are used by the decoder for the "current" and the "next" song, which
greatly simplifies the cross-fading code.
Export the "g_playlist" variable, and pass it to all playlist
functions. This way, we can split playlist.c easier into separate
parts. The code which initializes the singleton variable is moved to
playlist_global.c.
When the update thread is started before MPD has forked (for
daemonization), it is killed, because threads do not survive a fork().
This induces an inconsistent state where MPD won't start any update
thread at all, because it thinks the thread is already running.
Reimplemented the legacy mixer configuration: copy the deprecated
configuration values into the audio_output section. Don't configure
the mixers twice (once for the audio_output, and a second time for the
legacy values).
This requires volume_init() to be called before initAudioDriver().
"Stickers" are pieces of information attached to existing MPD objects
(e.g. song files, directories, albums). Clients can create arbitrary
name/value pairs. MPD itself does not assume any special meaning in
them.
There is only one location using PIPE_EVENT_SIGNAL: to synchronize
player_command() with player_command_finished(). Use the "notify"
library instead of the event_pipe here.
Make the event_pipe (formerly main_notify) send/receive a set of
events, with a callback for each one.
The default event PIPE_EVENT_SIGNAL does not have a callback. It
is still there for waking up the main thread, when it is waiting for
the player thread.
We are going to migrate away from the concept of notifying the main
thread. There should be events sent to it instead. This patch starts
a series to implement that.
With the GLib main loop, the client manager can install its own event
in case a client is expired. No need for main.c to call
client_manager_expire() manually.
This is a rather huge patch, which unfortunately cannot be splitted.
Instead of using our custom ioops.h library, convert everything to use
the GLib main loop.
The logging library currently has 3 constructor functions: initLog(),
open_log_files(), setup_log_output(), called in this order. Merged
the first two.
Those two functions are called when MPD starts and exits. It allows
the update library to perform global initialization and
deinitialization. The implementations are currently empty.
When MPD quits in a non-clean way, the state file isn't written, and
on the next start, MPD time warps to the previous clean shutdown.
Save the state file every 5 minutes; this will probably be
configurable at a later time.
Note that we don't set a wakeup timer for that: when there is no MPD
traffic, MPD won't wake up to save the state file. This minor bug is
tolerated, because usually there is no change in MPD's state when the
main thread is idle.
Initialize libc's locale functions. Currently, we are only interested
in LC_CTYPE (character classification), because this is what is used
by GLib's g_get_charset().
No CamelCase in the file name. The output_buffer struct is going to
be renamed to music_pipe. There are so many buffer levels in MPD, and
calling this one "output buffer" is wrong, because it's not the last
buffer before the music reaches the output devices.
"idle" waits until something noteworthy happens on the server,
e.g. song change, playlist modified, database updated. This allows
clients to keep up to date without polling.
This git branch has become a real MPD fork now. Time to change the
package name to the code name "mpd-mk". Set the version number to
"0.14~git" to mark this as a non-released version.
If the user requests database update during startup, call
directory_update_init(). This should be changed to fully asynchronous
update later.
For this to work, main_notify has to be initialized before db_init().
Taming the directory.c monster, part II: move the database management
stuff to database. directory.c should only contain code which works
on directory objects.
The source directory.c mixes several libraries: directory object
management, database management and database update, resulting in a
1000+ line monster. Move the whole database update code to update.c.
A lot of the preparation was needed (and done in previous
months) in making update thread-safe, but here it is.
This was the first thing I made work inside a thread when I
started mpd-uclinux many years ago, and also the last thing I've
done in mainline mpd to work inside a thread, go figure.
Instead of having to register each output plugin, store them
statically in an array. This eliminates the need for the List library
here, and saves some small allocations during startup.
I don't believe "interface" is a good name for something like
"connection by a client to MPD", let's call it "client". This is the
first patch in the series which changes the name, beginning with the
file name.
It should be obvious in which thread or context a function is being
executed at runtime. The code which was left in decode.c is for the
decoder thread itself; give the file a better name.
