Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] [OT?] MPRIS and MPD
Seems kind of odd to talk about integrating with shiny new Ubuntu/Unity, given the whole pulseaudio deal. Unless something has changed and I didn't notice, Ubuntu uses pulseaudio, which runs per-user, so you can't really get mpd to work right with log in/out without jumping through some hoops.

Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] webclient phpMp
I do agree that there are way too many web clients out there with no clear choices at all, and providing a single one is a great goal. Most of the differences you suggest between clients I think should eventually be simply multiple configurations of a single client - single sites can have mobile/normal versions, simple and power interface, etc. Collecting together into a single repo and ultimately merging is probably a reasonable approach - as long as it's clear that's the intent, not simply to manage many different clients in one place.

As for the multiple clients thing... it doesn't make much sense to me to have multiple projects in a single repository. If there's something to be gained from each of these clients, the right approach would be to add the features from all the rest to phpMp (if they're mutually exclusive, allow configuration).

realize they could come after commands, and broke this when I added short
options. It's fixed now! I tested my patch with all combinations of [no
command, command with arguments, command without arguments] and [no options,
options before, options after, options before and after]. I'm pretty sure I
didn't miss anything this time. It's not the totally ideal way to do this -
it still rearranges argv, just in the correct way for mpc [options] command
[options] arguments - but it's consistent with what we have so far. More
importantly, it fixes the regression.
I notice that the usage statement (printed or in man page) doesn't say
[options] like most commands do - with 20/20 hindsight, maybe specifying
there could've saved some trouble. I went ahead and made a small patch for
this too.
Finally, I while I was messing with usage statements, I modified the help
printing behavior - if the command is invalid, just print an error, usage
statement, and reminder about 'mpc help' and man page. I suspect the vast
majority of invalid commands are typos, and none of us want our screens
filled whenever we mistype.
Unfortunately, I'm behind a firewall and can't push right now - I'm
attaching patches, and as soon as I have some free (as in freedom) internet,
I'll push to my repo (git://git.musicpd.org/jefromi/mpc.git).

Subject: [PATCH 1/5] options.c: allow for options before and after the command
The original patch (b3f6766) adding short option support and some new
options broke support for options after the command. This patch fixes
that. At the same time, it also fixes treatment of argument '-' (invalid
option) and '--' (treat everything following as non-option).

Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] [PATCH] ncmpc: Adjustable seek time
I'm the one who set the scrolling keys. I agree that they are not ideal, but I was having a lot of trouble finding any pairs available with a mnemonic. (I didn't want one to use control and the other use shift.) I would have preferred to set them the same as Vim (ctrl-d/u) but one was already taken in the defaults: ctrl-u means music database update. My own keys are remapped to be as Vimlike as possible; for example N is rfind-next for me, as you suggest. Personally, I would be in favor of rearranging some of the defaults, but I assumed they'd been around long enough that we wouldn't want to change them. It's worth noting, when thinking about changing default keys, that due to the way the settings are stored, other users may not notice the change for a while, then get caught off guard. For example, if you have added an extra key for a command, ncmpc saves all of the keys for that command to the file. The default is now hard-coded in the keys file. The user will not notice a change until they for one reason or another start fresh. One possibility I'd thought of before would be to start distributing sample keys files with ncmpc. If we remap keys to parallel Vim as closely as possible, then we could include a keys.classic file. If we keep the old keys for compatibility, we could include keys.vimlike.

And N/B don't seem to have any connection to scrolling, as far as I can see, so changing them should be fine. O/I seems to be available in that case. It's a good idea if ncmpc shares hot keys with common applications like vi. Many existing hot keys were already borrowed. Can you please make sure what these are, and send a patch?

Max, It looks like there are some samples available from the tunes section of the website - http://hivelytracker.com/tunes/ Tony, I'm guessing the source code you used came from here: http://www.petergordon.org.uk/files/replayer_linux.tgz This is linked from the download section of the website, where it says the port is by Christopher O'Neill, but the readme says (and hosting suggests) it's by Peter Gordon (p...@petergordon.org.uk). There's also a forum you could post in to ask. It really does look like none of these people ever bothered to think about applying a license to their code, but given the number of ports and informality of the website it seems like they might be amenable to a GPL so it could go into MPD... good luck.

Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] [PATCH] Implement ArtistSort tag
A simple use would be turning The Rolling Stones into Rolling Stones, The for the purposes of sorting but not display. Some of this can be done automatically, of course, but not all - there will always be special cases or other languages it doesn't know about. An example for AlbumArtist(Sort) would be the Blues Brothers soundtrack, where it's reasonable to access the entire album by browsing through artist The Blues Brothers (sorted as Blues Brothers, The), but there are tracks with artists like The Blues Brothers and Ray Charles.

That's why I removed it from ncmpc in favor of GLib's option parser. mpc should not use GLib, but why not use getopt() / getopt_long()? New options have been added, as well as the short form of existing ones. The options are now: -v/--verbose, -q/--quiet, -h/--host, -p/--port, -f/--format Is -h a good shortcut for --host?

Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] Database backend
I agree that it's sometimes awkward that the update is modification time based - for example, if you add replaygain tags to your whole library you don't really want it all to end up with the same modification date. Perhaps it's worth looking into adding a feature there, since something a lot simpler than implementing SQLite would be possible. For now, I've never actually done this but I expect you could edit the database by hand, since it's stored as text. In particular, you could delete references to songs you want to update, or reset their mtime to something old and let mpd handle the rest. And of course, for move/delete cases the update path mechanism should be sufficient, with enough care in picking the path so that it doesn't have to scan all 100GB.

Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] Remember the current track even when state is stopped
Well, this is perhaps my fault for using web-based email, but in gmail the
tabs in the patch all seem to have turned to spaces. It may be best to
attach patches to avoid this? Also the patch date looks like it was maybe
referring to 0.15beta2, but playlist_state.c hasn't been touched so the
patch still applies.
Anyway, this seems to work (state restore while playing, paused, and stopped
all work), and it's available on my repo:

Hi!
At the moment mpd doesn't store or restore the current track to/from its
state file when the daemon is stopped/started while in 'stopped' state.
I believe the preferred behaviour would be to store and restore the
current track even when the daemon is in stopped state when shutting
down.
I made a small patch to adapt this behaviour. If you believe this is not
the preferred behaviour, maybe this should be realized as a
configuration option. I'm not sure how to do this, but made a small
comment, where one would have to put the option.
I would be glad, if this patch would be merged into the development
tree.
Since I'm not on the list, please cc me in your replies.

Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] mpd features - 'play library' and 'play queue'
I'm totally with Max on this one - the general form of the feature sounds excellent. The one thing I only just thought of is that a subsequent request we may get is the ability to mess with the upcoming random queue (not playlist). This can sort of be done by shuffling the playlist instead of using random mode, but besides the obvious differences between shuffled and random, that means that if you add songs to the playlist, they'll always go to the end, instead of being a possible random selection sooner - and reshuffling will destroy whatever you've set up in the queue. I'm largely thinking of this because of a feature I remember from iTunes. I expect that there are a decent number of people out there who like me haven't used Linux their whole life (or are using mpd on OSX) and have used iTunes before. iTunes had a party shuffle feature that would show you the next n songs it's planning to play (and m previous - a sort of delayed consume). You could then add to, remove from, or rearrange that list. Basically you had access to the random queue. I'm not trying to make a feature request here, just pointing out something to keep in mind whenever this feature is implemented. I know there would be a lot of difficulties in giving clients access to the queue of a playlist.

A while ago, a queue patch was merged into subversion, but was removed when the former MPD lead developer found the code too ugly. It sure was awful, and I'm grateful it was already gone when I took over. Now if we generalize the playlist code, we can expose that generic solution to the clients, instead of providing one single very special feature like the queue. The idea of queueing/nesting playlists is interesting, I hadn't thought of that, but restricting a queue to this format means the use case of playing library on shuffle, but now I want to add a song to a queue to be played next is not satisfied (unless I'm missing something), without remove all other songs from current sub-playlist, add song I want to next sub-playlist, add library again to sub-playlist after next which just feels awkward. Create sub-playlist with queued songs (consume mode enabled), insert it before the shuffled playlist, move current song before queued songs. Agree, this is a complex operation, but it's only as complex as the user's wish. That is what I meant, if the queue is implemented just as a special playlist, then old unmaintained clients will continue to work, and support the queue, the client doesn't need to know it is special (nested playlists may break old clients as well, but users aren't forced to nest playlists anyway). With nested/chained playlists, you could serve only the current/first sub-playlist to clients calling old-style playlist manipulation commands. Only clients which speak new-style commands would see the big picture. Max -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

Think about some analogy with Apache accesslog and errorlog. Logging can be optionnal this way, and why not loggin format configurable (data, IP, song) like in Apache. Hmm, I'm not comfortable with that idea, because this is a very specific feature request which can be solved with a client. Might be more difficult for you because you're running multiple MPD instances, but you can use the same init script for starting one mpdscribble per MPD instance. Any other opinions on the mailing list? My very late two cents. If I'm way off about something, just correct me - these are just thoughts. I'm not really sure whether it's best for this feature to end up in a client or in MPD. Good to keep MPD slim, but also good to not have to make sure a client is running to get your statistics. (I realize there's a wiki page that states that MPD is not a statistics server.) In any case, it seems like the most basic thing we'd be looking for out of this is play counts, and maybe a last played and skip count sort of thing. Note that none of these require full logging anyway - just some incrementing and such. They also wouldn't require a huge amount of code to implement, so it's not entirely unreasonable to think about putting them into MPD. Either way, assume that we're going to get some statistics generated. But how are they stored and accessed? This seems like a great use for the sticker database to me. There are already suggestions in the documentation to store ratings; why not these basic statistics? This makes them easily available to multiple clients (important! don't want to add mpdscribble-client communication), and also makes them easier to backup/transfer. If we go the client route, I don't see a huge problem with requiring one instance of mpdscribble per instance of mpd, though of course it's less convenient. In any case, avoiding the logging method seems good - it's overkill, and only available locally. Besides, the idle commands give a great way to get just the information you need. (Incidentally, I've been wondering about suppressing status commands from clients in the logfile - I'd like to run in verbose all the time just in case a bug crops up, but the vast majority of the content is just ncmpc asking for status. I know I can kludge it locally, and also that idle commands will decrease command volume, but that's not trivial.) As long as we're talking about improving the sticker database functionality, and clients are beginning to use it, I think there's one thing that needs to be considered: how do you preserve stickers when moving/renaming files? I know we don't want mpd to actually manage the files, but maybe there should be some way to let it know about a rename? Or do clients have to do a sticker list for the original then several sticker sets for the new? The world would of course be a better place if tagging were standardized and this information could just go along with the file, but we've got to make do somehow.

Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] mpdscribble
I think the idea was to send the audioscrobbler data to multiple servers,
not to connect to multiple instances of mpd - this got confused by the use
of the word host in the sample config. I think the idea would be more
something like this (using similar format to mpdconf):
scrobbleserver {
server = jamendo.com
user = ...
password = ...
}
scrobbleserver {
...
}
...other mpdscribble options...
Obviously the format of the config can be changed. Is this the
functionality you had in mind?

only switch providers, I cannot use more than one.
So you have multiple MPD installations, and you want to scrobble all
of them?
Looking at the source it seems this would not be too difficult to
implement. I may be able to figure it out (though I'm not familiar with
glib), but thought I would ask the list first to see if someone has a
better idea about this.
Sure this is possible, but it will make the code more complex and less
readable. I'm not sure if this is a good idea. Why not run a
separate mpdscribble on each MPD server?

[Musicpd-dev-team] ncmpc, mpd
mpd: documentation patches, available from: git pull git://git.musicpd.org/jefromi/mpd.git master doc: Fixed moveid description doc: updated ranged playlist commands new move range command, available from: git pull git://git.musicpd.org/jefromi/mpd.git master queue/playlist/command: move range I have tested this thoroughly but it is my first time working on this code, and it's a dangerous place to make an off-by-one mistake, so I figure some caution is in order. Some updates: git pull git://git.musicpd.org/jefromi/ncmpc.git master command: Changed key for screen swap to ` NEWS: list commands added since release 0.13 conf: screen-list fix, removed unused option man: configuration section updated conf: Allow descriptive search modes and something to go along with mpd move range git pull git://git.musicpd.org/jefromi/ncmpc.git w-range Implemented move command with range This one is not totally finished - it works, but doesn't check if the ranged move is available.

Darn, I thought I was careful there. I get warnings from libraries when compiling mpd so I've not been using --enable-werror, and trying to check to make sure there were no warnings. Incidentally, with ncmpc on an Ubuntu 8.10 system with ncurses 5.6+20071124-1ubuntu2 I get warnings colors.c:281: warning: the address of ‘attrs’ will never be NULL colors.c:281: warning: the address of ‘pair’ will never be NULL but not on my work computer (CentOS 5.0). Not complaining, just noting that unfortunately --enable-werror is a great idea that doesn't always serve me very well. I'm going to review the ncmpc patches tomorrow. Remind me just in case I forget... I'll be gone by then, but I'll remind you next week!

I've written and tested the queue_move_range function which will be behind it, but haven't dealt with the command parsing side yet. I figure it should (like shuffle_range) use the same command, e.g. move start:end to. Perfect! While testing moving ranges, I ran into the move relative to current song feature. The comments in the source say, for a command move from to: /* * (to 0) = move to offset from current song * (-playlist.length == to) = move to position BEFORE current song */ However, these conditions seem to move to one past where they should. That is, (to == -1) moves to two after the current song, and (-playlist.length == to) moves to one after the current song. From what I can tell, the behavior for (to0) hasn't changed since originally added, so I was wondering if anyone's actually used this feature. I don't want to break clients by fixing it, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work as documented.

Might be interesting for tiny embedded systems. For now, I'd say just extend the current integrated option parser. We might later add a compile-time option for using getopt_long() instead if available, for those users who think saving a few bytes is useful. Ok, I'll throw the getopt_long code on a branch on my public repository and work on builtin for now. From ncmpc's recent visual selection addition, I noticed that moving a large block of songs is quite slow because it has to send a command for every song in the block. Romain's implementation wasn't well optimized. To move a whole block one up or down, it's enough to move just one single song: e.g. to move 4:8 to 3, simply send move 3 7. This is what I was initially going to do, but the command actually sends swapid instead of move. I meant to ask about this, but got distracted as I started working on the mpd side. So is it reasonable to just have ncmpc use moveid, or should it still use swapid if not moving a range? I'll get the move range command properly implemented eventually too - not totally trivial because of error checking (it'd be the first command which has an argument which could either be a range or an integer, I think). Busy week, though, then going out of town (camping, no computers!) for a week so don't get your hopes up too much!

[Musicpd-dev-team] ncmpc updates
Ready for pull: git pull git://git.musicpd.org/jefromi/ncmpc.git master Commit summaries: - Improved lyrics plugin handling: - try plugins in order of filename (previously by inode or whatever g_dir_read_name reads by) - prefix names with 01, 02, 03 to make the sorting obvious - correctly check if lyricswiki lyrics were found - Center the cursor on a second Ctrl-L - Switch save lyrics to CMD_SAVE_PLAYLIST (default S, more intuitive). Hopefully changing keys for a screen that's still default disabled is ok. - Turn off visual selection in keydef screen (no use currently) - Added option to control how long status messages are displayed (I get fidgety waiting three seconds) I've also been thinking of having a look at mpc's options someday - maybe adding -q to mean fully quiet (e.g. mpc ls | mpc add produces a ton of output), implementing the --host and --port options... SInce mpc's option-handling isn't really set up well for short options yet this will require some changes. I could start from scratch with glib's fancy option functions, or since mpc doesn't have a heavy dependence on glib, I could bring over code from ncmpc (with credit of course) - would one of these be preferred over the other?
