music-tui v0.1.11

Changes

• The MPD config music-tui generates on first run now keeps MPD's database, state, sticker and log files in ~/.local/state/mpd instead of the cache dir. Previously MPD refused to start once a cleaner removed ~/Library/Caches/mpd (or ~/.cache/mpd), and the saved queue and ratings were lost.
• On macOS the generated config adds a CoreAudio (osx) output with these settings:
  • mixer_type "software". MPD's CoreAudio mixer changes the system volume of whichever device was the default when MPD started, so after switching to headphones the volume keys changed the wrong device, and devices without a volume control had no mixer at all.
  • format "44100:16:2". Low-rate mono files, such as voice recordings, pushed Bluetooth headphones into call (HFP) mode.
• A failed volume change now shows MPD can't change the volume: <reason> instead of only being logged. MPD's player error, such as an output that fails to open, shows as an MPD: … notice.
• Troubleshooting docs gained sections on the cache-dir migration, the macOS audio quirks, and the no-mixer case. The visualizer docs note that adding a fifo output turns off MPD's output auto-detection.

Upgrading

Existing MPD configs are never modified.

• If your config was generated by an earlier music-tui, move the files from ~/.cache/mpd or ~/Library/Caches/mpd to ~/.local/state/mpd, update db_file, log_file, state_file and sticker_file, and restart MPD.
• On macOS, add mixer_type "software" and format "44100:16:2" to your osx output.

Both are covered in doc/troubleshooting.md.

music-tui v0.1.10

Changes

• fix: music-tui open skips files MPD can't play (such as a video-only .mp4 next to the audio) instead of failing with "No such song", and the notice counts them
• fix: modes that replace the queue (folder, opening a folder, playlist replace, interrupt) no longer wipe the queue when MPD can play none of the files; open reports an error and the queue stays as it was
• fix: an interrupt preview that can't start no longer leaves a music-tui-preview-* playlist behind
• chore: clippy cleanup for newer toolchains; rustfft is only built on Unix, where the visualizer runs

music-tui v0.1.9

Changes

• perf: much lower CPU while paused or with large queues (status and queue are only resent when they change; the 1 Hz tick is gone)
• fix: a in the library appends instead of switching tabs
• fix: e in the library edits the selected track, not the playing one
• fix: commands pressed while MPD is disconnected are no longer replayed on reconnect; connecting times out and backs off properly
• fix: the visualizer no longer spins while paused or on a regular file
• fix: library scans commit in batches, skip unreadable folders, and no longer lock other instances
• fix: lyrics with a BOM, [offset:] or [mm:ss:xx] stamps display correctly
• fix: --no-play keeps the chosen open mode; mute restores the previous volume
• fix: the editor receives your first keystroke; panics restore the terminal
• fix: hardening of panic paths, file writes and terminal control characters in tags
• docs: README and all pages checked against the code (mode keys are ,r ,t ,y ,c)

Behaviour changes

• The render-mode override is now MUSIC_TUI_RENDER_MODES. GALLERY_TUI_RENDER_MODES no longer affects music-tui.
• The editor is picked from $VISUAL, then $EDITOR (as in git).
• Some theme keys that were documented but ignored now take effect; their defaults match what was shown before.

Full Changelog: v0.1.5...v0.1.6

music-tui v0.1.5

Release 0.1.5

music-tui v0.1.4

Changed

• Kitty covers render through occludable U+1 text placeholders: menus, modals and other overlays now draw on top of protocol images

Fixed

• Lyric up/down now step over whole bilingual timestamp groups, so an original/translation pair shares one cursor stop; plain lyrics became navigable line by line

music-tui v0.1.3

Added

• ? in the queue shuffles the queue
• The visualizer recreates the mpd fifo if it disappears

Fixed

• Concurrent instances no longer corrupt each other: per-PID state.toml temp names, atomic cover cache publication, library.db busy_timeout=5000
• Recursive library scans skip .nomedia directories (Android convention)

music-tui v0.1.2

Fixed

• Queue dedup keeps the playing copy of a duplicated song instead of an arbitrary one
• The insert paths (open, :add, library append) no longer grow duplicates while dedup is on
