Package: mpd Version: 0.12.1-1 Severity: minor mpc/mpd is working quite nicely for me. However, frequently, it does not, and it also provides no information as to what the actual problem is.
Sometimes, the following happens when I try to use mpc to stream remote ogg files: lapse:~> mpc playlist #1) http://server/artists/artist/album/some_song.ogg lapse:~> mpc play volume: 74% repeat: off random: off lapse:~> GET -esd http://server/artists/artist/album/some_song.ogg 200 OK [...] Content-Length: 8958847 Content-Type: application/ogg So the content is available but for some reason, mpd won't play it. At other times, I get this: lapse:~> mpc play http://server/artists/artist/album/some_song.ogg [playing] #1/1 0:00 (100%) volume: 74% repeat: off random: off but then it just stays there, so calling 'mpc status' a few seconds later still shows it as playing back at 0:00. If I strace the mpd process, I get this a few hundred times per second, indefinitely: select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 10000}) = 0 (Timeout) read(3, 0x808479b, 105020) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) And at other times, I get this (<***> denotes a 7 second pause): poll(<***>[{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 5000) = 0 gettimeofday({1169115977, 977009}, NULL) = 0 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLOUT, revents=POLLOUT}], 1, 0) = 1 send(3, "\235\213\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\5fooba\7rfoobar\3foo\0061"..., 46, 0) = 46 poll(<***>... and mpc will simply fail to connect: lapse:~> mpc MPD_HOST and/or MPD_PORT environment variables are not set error: timeout in attempting to get a response from "localhost" on port 6600 A restart of mpd usually fixes all of the above problems, but not always. It would be great to have those problems fixed, but at the least, mpd/mpc should let the user know what the problem is, not requiring the user to go via strace (which doesn't really give more information). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (750, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (250, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mpc depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries mpc recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
