I got some weird effects with 20060317 in Linux.
I was able to convert my configuration with this one and also
file scan went ok (I made it from scratch). I can browse and play
music fine with my Roku Soundbridge but after the server was up
for about couple of hours, it got stuck. Server sockets were still
open but inresponsive.If I sent kill to mt-daapd process, one of the threads didn’t die
(of course kill -9 did the trick). However when I started a new
mt-daapd process, it made the initial scan ok, but then immediately
went to catatonic state. Maybe something was wrong in the database.I nuked the database and started it with mt-daapd -s and commended
the scan from the web interface. Now it seems to work again. I’ll
report again if it later gets stuck again.–tri
Right, stuck again.
This is how it manifests itself with me.
% mt-daapd -s
– Initiate scan from the web interface.
– Use the server with Roku while it’s scanning
– Everything seems to work and more and more songs appear
– Scan completes
– Try to browse artists from Roku
– Browse timeouts, streaming that is going on continues ok.
– Otherwise mt-daapd is inresponsive (web interface and
new streaming is dead).I’ll try again by doing the initial database scan in foreground
(i.e. without -s).–tri
Nope, running the scan in foreground doesn’t help.
Once the scan is done and service started trying to
browse artists with Roku Soundbridge causes service
thread to get stuck.After this pressing “reload” in web browser showing
the status page, always allocates new thread session
(i.e. new line appears to list of threads in the
status page with each “reload” and old ones stay in
the list).So something is wrong. I’ll try once more with
iTunes.–tri
Well, I wasn’t able to browse with iTunes either.
With iTunes (6.0.2) I got “shared library not accessible
for unknown reason (-3250)”. But after this mt-daapd doesn’t
get stuck and web interface keeps working.Maybe the difference is that iTunes shuts down the connection
bluntly but Roku tries to shut it down nicely and keeps
hanging. This is however just a wind guess.Anyways, something is wrong.
The weird thing is that Roku works nicely while the initial
is going on if the server is started with -s and scan started
via web interface.–tri
Yeah, this is from folding the browse/query stuff into the playlist parser. The interface that the soundbridge uses is completely different from the one iTunes uses. I jettisoned a bunch of query parsing code and tried to use the playlist parser to parse the soundbridge queries. Clearly it didn’t fit well, but once it actually works, it will be a net plus — both types of queries will have the same parse tree, and can be merged easily.
Where I hope to go with this is to set a “base playlist” based on logon or password or connection ip address. Then you could use a smart playlist as your base library. So you could have your kids connect with a password and have their base playlist be ‘content_rating != “explicit”‘, and have smart playlists (and even static playlists) generated with respect to that as a base.
That’s why I want to merge the parsers. Clearly it’s not quite there yet, though.

Actually I got all new problem with 20060307 too that in the light of
your comment is totally unrelated.When I went to sleep, I left two soundbridges streaming the playlist
(different one for both) and the web browser to poll the status display.
After a while (an hour or so) syslog bluntly tells:Mar 19 05:16:59 rinne mt-daapd[8971]: Could not spawn thread: Resource temporarily unavailable
Mar 19 05:16:59 rinne mt-daapd[8971]: Fatal error… Aborting
Mar 19 05:16:59 rinne mt-daapd[8967]: Rendezvous socket closed (daap server crashed?) Aborting.

a run at “-d10 -D parse” would help.
I only got this:
633.rinne:src> root ./mt-daapd -f -c /etc/mt-daapd.conf.new -d10 -D parse
Adding module parse to debug list (0x00002000)
Debug mask is 0x80002000– In this phase I connected with Roku and got “Failed to load browse data”
– After this it was stuck and I pressed Control-C and got:
Segmentation fault
Exit 139 (SIGSEGV)Anyways, I think you got something in this fixed already because of
your comment in the Roku thread.–tri
