transcode_needed() was getting called needlessly in http_daapd.c,
because 1) once it is determined that a given codec needs transcoding
for a given client there is no reason to call and check again, 2)
transcoding is irrelevant for remotes. Also some cleaning up of
user_agent_filter().
- introduced new section in config file for sqlite pragma settings,
added config for artwork cache
- added setting of pragma synchronous, cache size and journal mode to
daap cache
- 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...
revision-number in their update request.
Details: Banshee (v1.6.1) and Amarok client players send an
update request but do not send the revision-number parameter.
iTunes version 10 (and perhaps earlier) does send this parameter.
See: https://github.com/jasonmc/forked-daapd/issues/78
Fix: function daap_reply_update() now warns when revision-number
is not submitted by the client, but does not reply with an error.
In that case the server assumes a revision-number which insures
an update is sent back to the client.
Testing:
I verified that the following clients were able to connect succesfully
and retrieve a library listing:
* iTunes 10.5.2
* iTunes 10.4.2
* iTunes 9.7.1
* Rhythmbox 0.12.8
* Banshee 1.6.1
I can't test with Amarok since I don't have this client.
Details:
iTunes v10.5 clients changed how they responded to DAAP
protocol, and started disconnecting when the forked-daapd server
sent an empty "refresh" reply ("mupd" protocol). This problem is
also coupled with session-timeout ("mstm" and "msal"); when these
server capabilities were enabled, iTunes 10.x clients did not poll
for updates and eventually disconnected.
I investigated DAAP network packets using Wireshark. I found that
a true iTunes server sends a set of server capabilities in a specific
order, and order matters to the client. When the correct order is used,
the client correctly polls for updates and does not disconnect.
This change:
1. Send server capabilities in different order (daap_reply_server_info).
2. Disables 5-minute update refresh.
3. Disables 30-minute inactivity time-out.
Testing:
This server version successfully stayed connected to the
following clients:
* iTunes 10.5.2
* iTunes 10.4.2
* iTunes 9.7.1
* Rhythmbox 0.12.8
The clients stayed connected for at least several hours,
sometimes days, with activity or no activity.
Craig Markwardt <craig.markwardt@gmail.com> found out that the 30-minute
timeout in iTunes was caused by the lack of reply to update requests.
We now send out replies every 5 minutes, avoiding the timeout and
disconnection.
Thanks to Craig for digging into this, producing code to demonstrate the fix
and trying out a few more ideas for update support beyond this fix.
Handling of the sort tags was left into httpd_daap.c where the code runs
after the song is added to the songlist - effectively adding the sort tags
to the *next* song, leading to incorrect sort tags on the current song.
