Bug 144842 – xmms-pipe does not work with xosd or xmms-crossfade plugins

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Róbert Čerňanský 2006-08-23 04:20:33 UTC]

When xosd (x11-libs/xosd) plugin is enabled in xmms, the xmms-pipe plugin does not work.

When xmms is started, xmms-pipe creates a pipe /tmp/xmmspipe-in_<user>.0 and symlink to it ~/.xmms/inpipe. This works correctly.

After sending a command to pipe it should be executed by xmms. For example:

$ echo play > ~/.xmms/inpipe

should start playing current song. This does not work, xmms does not execute any command sended to pipe. No error is printed.

When I disable xosd plugin (Preferences -> General Plugins -> On Screen Display) and restart xmms, the xmms-pipe works correctly.

Tried these versions, same bug with all of them:
media-sound/xmms: 1.2.10-r14, 1.2.10-r15
media-plugins/xmms-pipe: 0.5.3, 0.5.5 (not in portage)
x11-libs/xosd: 2.2.8-r1, 2.2.14-r1


(In the following scenario is xosd plugin disabled.)
The situation with Crossfade plugin (media-plugins/xmms-crossfade-0.3.8) is similar, except that xmms-pipe stops working after playing is started. So after xmms start, the pipe works. When I start play (no matter how; via pipe or by click on play button), the pipe stops working (does not execute commands anymore). xmms must be restarted to get pipe work again.

I created a patch for xmms-pipe to fix this bug.

While xmms-pipe was waiting in select() function, it was interrupted by a signal and thread was ended. So I enclosed it into do ... while loop to repeat select() if it was interrupted by a signal.

I'll attach new ebuild and patch.

Patch to enclose select() into loop.

Patch belongs to files/ subdir.

Created attachment 95265 [details]
Fixed ebuild that applies the patch.

[Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-10-23 00:57:40 UTC]

xmms and all plugins are now package.masked and will be removed from the tree in one month.

WONTFIX.
