Re: cmus is not following symlinks when adding files

Jason Woofenden — 2013-04-23T20:17:42

This is a very cool bug!

The cause is that cmus doesn't add the contents of invisible
folders, and it ignores symlinks that point within the folder its
adding (to avoid adding those tracks twice.)

In this use case, we discovered that we need an exception to the
"ignore internal symlinks" rule above, so that symlinks to hidden
folders/files are heeded.

Thank you Markus for reporting and testing, and Gregory for
figuring out the bug and fixing it!


I was curious why I was not experiencing this bug, given that my
music is stored in git-annex too. But now it makes sense: my annex
is not within my music folder.

Yes, it is working fine now. Thanks a lot! :-)

Oh! I think I understand the problem now. Thanks a lot for the test case.

Can you please test if the code at my `symlink-fix` branch
(https://github.com/flyingmutant/cmus/tree/symlink-fix) works?

Re: cmus is not following symlinks when adding files

Markus Rothe — 2013-04-22T17:37:12

You are correct. I also discovered that adding symlinked files works in
some cases. But here is a minimal testcase, which I cannot add by
running ":add ~/tmp/music/"; i.e. no files are added.

    % tree ~/tmp/music -aN
    /home/markus/tmp/music
    |-- .content
    |   `-- 01 - Speak To Me - Breathe In The Air.flac
    `-- Pink Floyd
        `-- 1973 - The Dark Side Of The Moon
            `-- 01 - Speak To Me - Breathe In The Air.flac -> ../../.content/01 - Speak To Me - Breathe In The Air.flac

    3 directories, 2 files

[ .content would be .git in my case ]

Note that I *can* add it using ":add ~/tmp/music/Pink Floyd/".

I can't reproduce the problem you are having — I've created a
directory with a (relative) symlink in it, leading outside the
directory, and cmus handles this scenario for me.

Can you please simplify the test case — try to repeat adding the
music, but e.g. one directory containing one (symlinked) file, and go
from there?

Re: cmus is not following symlinks when adding files

Are `music`, `Pink Floyd` etc. real (non-symlink) directories? And
flac files are symlink with relative paths, right?

I don't think this is a problem here — since adding one file works
fine in this case.

Re: cmus is not following symlinks when adding files

Vladimir Todorov — 2013-04-22T08:21:03

It looks similar to a problem I had once.
I didn't have the required packages before building cmus so I was not able
to add any song to it.
What is the output of the ./configure script?

Re: cmus is not following symlinks when adding files

Markus Rothe — 2013-04-22T08:15:23

Yes, that works.

I just noticed this:

- ":add ~/music" does not add anything.
- ":add ~/music/Pink Floyd/1973 - The Dark Side Of The Moon/01 - Speak
  To Me - Breathe In The Air.flac" *does* add this one file.


I just built from the master branch and have the same problem.

Re: cmus is not following symlinks when adding files

Gregory Petrosyan — 2013-04-22T07:42:19

Cmus should have no problem with symlinks — are you sure your file is
accessible and playable, e.g. you can do

$ mplayer ~/music/Pink\ Floyd/1973\ -\ The\ Dark\ Side\ Of\ The\
Moon/01\ -\ Speak\ To\ Me\ -\ Breathe\ In\ The\ Air.flac

?


Can you please upgrade to the latest version, either `master` branch
from git repository, or the 2.5.0 release? 2.3.4 is really ancient.

cmus is not following symlinks when adding files

Markus Rothe — 2013-04-21T13:46:29

Hello,

I am using git-annex [1] to share my music folder between computers. The
result is that all files are symbolic links; i.e.:

% ls -l ~/music/Pink\ Floyd/1973\ -\ The\ Dark\ Side\ Of\ The\ Moon/01\ -\ Speak\ To\ Me\ -\ Breathe\ In\ The\ Air.flac
lrwxrwxrwx 1 markus markus 208 Apr 21 14:29 /home/markus/music/Pink Floyd/1973 - The Dark Side Of The Moon/01 - Speak To Me - Breathe In The Air.flac -> ../../.git/annex/objects/mW/3K/SHA256E-s18482470--a1f7a187936351006e0926bfd5db9de2fdb695f8f036d78f2ff86f8534319bb5.flac/SHA256E-s18482470--a1f7a187936351006e0926bfd5db9de2fdb695f8f036d78f2ff86f8534319bb5.flac

When adding the ~/music directory in cmus none of the files are added.
Could this please be changed, such that the files are added to the cmus
library.

I am using cmus 2.3.4.

Regards, Markus

Jason Woofenden — 2013-04-19T03:17:22

Casey,

I don't see any error messages in your logs, so I doubt this is
enough info for the developers to go on.

So if nobody writes in soon that they've heard of this problem, I
suggest writing again, to let us know what version of cmus you're
running, and if possible a stacktrace of a crash.

Also, if you're running an older version, you could try compiling
the latest from source. We've been doing mostly bug fixing lately.

Re: Unable to add MP3s

Brandon McCaig — 2013-03-28T14:28:20

Hello,


This sounds to me like you were missing dependencies when you
built cmus and it ended up being built without support for any
output plugins. I would imagine the input plugins situation isn't
much more bright. `cmus --plugins' should list both for you,
which will give you an idea of the capabilities of your build.
Here is mine:


cmus only shows you the files that it can read (at least, by
default..), so when you navigate into that directory cmus doesn't
find any files that it can open (and presumably no folders
either), so the only option available is the parent directory
(..), and cmus cautiously refuses to add it since it was probably
a mistake.


There are others better equipped to help, but I would guess that
you're going to need to install some more dependencies and
rebuild cmus from scratch. I think that it tries its best to
build with whatever environment you have, which may mean
disabling all of the features that you need. :)

Regards,

Re: 7hr track limit?

Lester Hedges — 2013-03-24T20:34:56

Thanks, Justin. I followed your debugging instructions (using sox to
generate a long triangle wave) and can confirm that I see the correct
playback behaviour -- the track plays/seeks beyond 7hrs without jumping
back to the beginning.

The long tracks that I am experiencing problems with are encoded as MPEG
1.0 layer III, at either 96 or 128 kbits/s (found using mpg123). They are
from different sources so I'm not sure how they were originally encoded.
The track times are definitely correct since I can play the full length in
other media players (e.g. VLC works fine). I am also experiencing the same
problem using cmus v2.4.2 on OS X (from MacPorts) so it's not specific to
the Arch x64 build.

Cheers.
