2009-01-19sticker: new library for storing dynamic information about songsMax Kellermann1-0/+4
"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.
2009-01-18mapper: make the music_directory optionalMax Kellermann1-3/+4
Without a music_directory, MPD is an excellent streaming client.

2009-01-14allow ~/.mpd/mpd.conf as alternate config fileJérôme Quelin1-2/+2
mpd uses some additional files to work, such as pid_file, state_file, db_file, etc. when running mpd as non-root user, it is often that those files end in ~/.mpd in that case, we end up with 2 entries in a user's home, .mpdconf and .mpd - which clutters homedirs. this patch allows ~/.mpd/mpd.conf as an alternative to ~/.mpdconf, allowing for a cleaner homedir
2009-01-01mixer: renamed mix_* options to mixer_*Max Kellermann1-4/+4
There is no reason to use the shortcut "mix" instead of "mixer".

2008-12-28log: support syslog()Max Kellermann1-0/+1
Allow logging to syslog if log_file is configured to "syslog".
2008-12-28log: deprecated "error_file" optionMax Kellermann1-3/+0
Removed the "error_file" option. There is only one log file now. If a user wants to see only the errors, he should configure a log_level.

2008-12-20doc: clarify "user" setting (starting as root / unprivileged)Max Kellermann1-1/+4
The "user" option does not work if MPD is started by an unprivileged user.
2008-12-16man: document Unix domain socket configuration in the manualMax Kellermann1-0/+3
Additionally, add an example in mpdconf.example.
2008-12-08update: default to follow all symlinksAvuton Olrich1-1/+1
MPD 0.13 and older followed all symbolic links. Although this can be a security problem (as it has always been), 0.14 should offer the same default behaviour as 0.13.
2008-11-28update: added options which control symlink behaviourRaphaël Rigo1-0/+11
The configuration options "follow_outside_symlinks" and "follow_inside_symlinks" let the user control whether MPD should follow symbolic links in the music directory. [mk: converted variables to "bool"; moved configuration to update_global_init()]
2008-10-15pulse: clarify the meaning of multiple server namesMax Kellermann1-0/+2
The manual page suggests that you can specify multiple servers, but it did not clarify what that means.
2008-10-14alsa: optionally disable resampling and othersMax Kellermann1-0/+13
Added mpd.conf options for disabling automatic resamling, sample format and channel conversion. This way, users may choose to override ALSA's automatic resampling, and use libsamplerate instead.
2008-10-14shout: fix manual page typoMax Kellermann1-0/+1
A ".TP" was missing, and broke the manual page's layout.
2008-10-12shout: make the protocol configurableAaron McEwan1-1/+5
Added configuration parameter "protocol" which lets the user choose from 3 shout protocols. This adds support for real shoutcast servers.
2008-09-12shout: introduce pluggable encoder APIEric Wollesen1-2/+8
I've perhaps gone a bit overboard, but here's the current rundown: Both Ogg and MP3 use the "shout" audio output plugin. The shout audio output plugin itself has two new plugins, one for the Ogg encoder, and another for the MP3 (LAME) encoder. Configuration for an Ogg stream doesn't change. For an MP3 stream, configuration is the same as Ogg, with two exceptions. First, you must specify the optional "encoding" parameter, which should be set to "mp3". See mpd.conf(5) for more details. Second, the "quality" parameter is reversed for LAME, such that 1 is high quality for LAME, whereas 10 is high quality for Ogg. I've decomposed the code so that all libshout related operations are done in audioOutput_shout.c, all Ogg specific functions are in audioOutput_shout_ogg.c, and of course then all LAME specific functions are handled in audioOutput_shout_mp3.c. To develop encoder plugins for the shout audio output plugin, I basically just mimicked the plugin system used for audio outputs. This might be overkill, but hopefully if anyone ever wants to support some other sort of stream, like maybe AAC, FLAC, or WMA (hey it could happen), they will hopefully be all set. The Ogg encoder is slightly less optimal under this configuration. It used to send shout data directly out of its ogg_page structures. Now, in the interest of encapsulation, it copies the data from its ogg_page structures into a buffer provided by the shout audio output plugin (see audioOutput_shout_ogg.c, line 77.) I suspect the performance impact is negligible. As for metadata, I'm pretty sure they'll both work. I wrote up a test scaffold that would create a fake tag, and tell the plugin to send it out to the stream every few seconds. It seemed to work fine. Of course, if something does break, I'll be glad to fix it. Lastly, I've renamed lots of things into snake_case, in keeping with normalperson's wishes in that regard. [mk: moved the MP3 patch after this one. Splitted this patch into several parts; the others were already applied before this one. Fixed a bunch GCC warnings and wrong whitespace modifications. Made it compile with mpd-mk by adapting to its prototypes]
