Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tangerine
Tangerine does a very good job of serving files over daap, and is
significantly more reliable than the more common mt-daapd. However, one
visible difference between the two is the number of files offered - on
my music collection Tangerine offers about 500 files more than mt-daapd.
This is caused by Tangerine's policy of serving ALL files it can - so if
your music folder contains any album art, then those album art files are
offered up as invalid music files.
My attached patch allows a user to configure an extra config line in
their ~/.tangerine, specifying which file extensions are permitted. The
default behaviour is to serve all files - the new behaviour requires
specific enabling in the config file.
The attached images show a small music collection being served as
standard, and being served by a patched Tangerine with the following
stanza added to ~/.tangerine:
filetypes = .ogg,.mp3
Multiply the effect by a few hundred albums, and the effect is striking.
