Changes in upmpdcli 0.8.0
The main changes in release 0.8 deal with better handling of the OpenHome playlist, in addition to a number of small bug fixes, and efficiency improvements.
-
OpenHome playlist: metadata from tracks directly added to the MPD queue through an MPD client (such as, e.g. MPDroid, gmpc…) is now remembered by upmpdcli and will be displayed in the UPnP control point.
-
OpenHome playlist: the metadata for the playlist is now saved to disk so that it survives restarts (like the MPD playlist does). The previous situation was that the current playing queue was still active after a player restart, but no metadata (titles, artists, etc.) was displayed.
-
Actually advertise on the network when starting up and dying. An oversight in previous versions resulted in the fact that upmpdcli could only be discovered by a search (when the control point started), but, when upmpdcli was started, it would not appear in a running control point device list.
-
Do not advertise support for raw PCM strings (audio/Lxx), as we can’t actually play them. It is better to give accurate information to the control point, so that it can choose an alternate format such as Wav if it is available.
