Make it easier to add new parameters later, get rid of redundant code, clean
up, align between httpd_xxx modules and introduce new bugs. Yes, the refactor
got a bit out of hand.
For people who want to avoid the web login, or want to get around pairing
problems. This is also added because commit #e59a1a1 means that all
Remotes are now subject to auth, not just those with a user-agent name that
starts with "Remote".
Setting the response headers "Cache-Control" and "Last-Modified" results
in clients being able to cache the response. For a subsequent request
for the same file, the browser sets the request header
"If-Modified-Since" with the value from "Last-Modified" from the last
response. The server (httpd.c) checks if the file has been modified and
if not returns HTTP 304 Not Modified.
the admin password
Changes the default for the admin password to be unset, by default only
allowing access to the WEB_ROOT files if accessed from localhost.
rescaling, meaning we can do without parallel ffmpeg interfaces.
This also moves artwork rescaling from libswscale to libavfilter, which
seems to fix a problem with PNG rescaling.
- Added custom checks for libraries and pkgconfig modules that test library
presence with additional checks for use of headers and functions with
given options. Also support correct additional feature library checks
using provided flags.
- Added custom enable/disable feature macros to simplify their use.
- Use custom CFLAGS and LIBS variables for Makefiles to simplify maintenance.
- Update many feature checks from platform to function.
- Streamline many function checks.
- Correctly check gnutls, gcrypt and gpg-error libraries.
- Fix chromecast and spotify config and compile on FreeBSD
- Added inotify, signalfd and kqueue, and byte swap checks.
- Many clarifications of error messages.
- Correct json-c checks to properly use supplied CFLAGS.
- Correct many quoting inconsistencies
- Use __DATE__ in place of BUILDDATE
- Use full path for gperf and antlr3
- Remove unnecessary CFLAGS
- Added tests for pthread_setname_np parameters
- Added tests for clock_gettime and timer_settime
- Added tests for time.h
- Test if pthread, dl and rt libs are required/available.
- Updated checks for libunistring
Add a new general config setting allow_origin that is included as
Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in http responses. This allows to make http
request against forked-daapd from browsers with enabled CORS
(https://www.w3.org/TR/cors/) via JavaScript XMLHttpRequest.
Per default the setting is not defined and no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header
is included in the response.
Also includes the skeleton for perhaps supporting video in the future. Adds more fine-grained
ffmpeg/libav compability checks. Dependency on libavresample/libswresample exchanged with
dependency on libavfilter, which seems more versatile.
- Try to not return items which a client can't play
- Remove inotify subscription to IN_MODIFY and IN_CREATE
- Fix crash on unknown codec type in transcode.c
- Probably added some new bugs...
It is now clear that multi-library support will not happen, so remove whatever
provisions were in the code for that.
It comes with a small change to the configuration file, too.
With this, DB schema version went to 9.
lseek() returns an off_t and not an int, using an int to store and
test the return value means we'll error out when the position in the file
gets past INT_MAX.
eventfd has less overhead than a pipe, works as a counter and uses a
single fd. Use it on Linux if available (that should be pretty much
always given the glibc and kernel requirements).
512k might be a bit too much, as it can take time to read 512k from the
filesystem (and we're using a blocking read) or from the decoder. Going
down to 64k will make this more manageable and improve the response time
when streaming to multiple clients at the same time.
evbuffer_read() is really meant to read from sockets and not regular
files. It also looks like evbuffer_read() was causing issues with large
files, locking up a little below 2 GB for an unknown reason (couldn't
reproduce).
Try to be a bit more strict about integer types, use off_t or int64_t for
file size and file offsets.
Replace safe_ato*() by safe_atoi32() and safe_atoi64(), fix integer types
at call sites to match.
Hinting the OS about our behaviour shouldn't make a big difference in
performance but it will help the OS manage its disk cache and can reduce
memory pressure on small systems.
When streaming AAC/MP4 files that aren't stream-optimized (metadata at the
end of the file), clients will seek through the file to grab the metadata
prior to playing the file, causing the play count to increase by 2 or 3.
To counter that, do not increase play count if not streaming at least half
of the file.
Honor end offset provided in the Range header and do not stream more than
what the client asked for.
