[Phpmpreloaded-team] function _validateFile

[Detrick M. <de...@me...>]

Hello,

I'm working on a project using mpd and have been using mpd.class.php
v1.2 up until today. Today I switched to your newer version 1.3 and
the output is a bit ... weird. I essentially have an icecast server
that re-streams an internet stream within my house, and mpd catches
that re-stream and plays it.

First, let's look at the output I get from mpd when I telnet to it
directly and ask it for playlistinfo:

When mpd is pointed to my icecast server:
=======================
Trying 192.168.100.200...
Connected to audiopi1.merzhaus.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
OK MPD 0.16.0
playlistinfo
file: http://192.168.100.42:8000/indiepop.mp3
Title: Guitar - Sweet Subtropics
Name: Indie Pop Rocks
Pos: 0
Id: 0
OK
=======================

When mpd is pointed directly to the original source:
=======================
Connected to audiopi1.merzhaus.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
OK MPD 0.16.0
playlistinfo
file: http://uwstream2.somafm.com:8090
Title: Guitar - Sweet Subtropics
Name: SomaFM presents: Indie Pop Rocks! [SomaFM]
Pos: 0
Id: 3
OK
=======================

In the first output we see I'm connected to a streaming server
(icecast). The title being played currently is "Guitar - Sweet
Subtropics." The name is "Indie Pop Rocks." Now, the title actually
consists of the artist (Guitar) and the track title (Sweet
Subtropics), because this is the way the streaming server is
presenting the data. The name field is called "Indie Pop Rocks" which
is the "Stream Name" field from the Icecast server. The output when
connected directly to the original stream is pretty similar; the title
is still a combination of the artist and track title, and the name is
still a stream name, unrelated to the artist, album, or track.

It seems that function _validateFile is the thing that's prepending
"stream://" and the concatenating the title and name fields onto the
end, and cramming them back into the Title key and returning it.

So why mess with Title? mpd has provided data for Title. If there's a
desire to have some values concatenated (e.g. title, name, artist)
into a single field, create a new one. Presently, it's making it
difficult for me to pull
$mpd->playlist[$mpd->current_track_id]['title']. Well, I can pull the
value just fine, but I can't get at the value that mpd provides. And I
can't figure out why the class is altering the data the way it is.
