Hi, You might wanna check the latest version of http://hg.kaworu.ch/lua-mpd which is able to connect to more than one MPD and handle configurable auto-reconnection and don't freeze since a while. If you see a bug in a program it would have been kind of you to yield at the author (which in this case is me). That's actually why there is an e-mail address in the "200 lines license header". In your refactoring of your "waaaay better version with a waaaay better license" you missed some stuff though. +function toggle_random() + local reply = send("status") + if stats.random == "0" then + send("random 1") + else + send("random 0") + end +end I don't understand your "I hate that 200 lines BSD license" and "let's fork it rather than improving it" guys. Even if I really dislike GPL license I'm helping various project (as awesome for example) if I find a bug or make an improvement. Because Free Software is (or at least should be) about people, not about the code. So be nice. Send patches to the upstream project. That's how it works. Look, even if I rewrote at least 3 times this lib there is still the link to the original project that inspired the lib. You could have done the same. Regards, Alex.
