From d83eff80a51d7111f3df28dcc65fab9ebdf61632 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Kellermann Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2009 11:43:13 +0100 Subject: oggvorbis: disable seeking on remote songs When libvorbis knows that a song is seekable, it seeks around like crazy in the file before starting to decode it. This is very expensive on remote HTTP resources, and delays MPD for 10 or 20 seconds. This patch disables seeking on remote songs, because the advantages of quickly playing a song seem to weigh more than the theoretical ability of seeking for most MPD users. If users feel this feature is needed, we will make a configuration option for that. --- NEWS | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'NEWS') diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index cdeb78ed4..d30db9ffd 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ MPD 0.14.1 - not yet released - mp4: support the writer/composer tag - id3: strip leading and trailing whitespace from ID3 tags - oggvorbis: fix tremor support + - oggvorbis: disable seeking on remote files * audio outputs: - jack: allocate default port names (fixes a crash) * update: -- cgit v1.2.3
