Description Dave Cohen 2005-02-24 15:00:46 UTC

Currently, when a stream includes metadata, the server sets the title of that
stream according to the metadata.  This metadata is usually the currently
playing song.  The result is that after the stream is stopped, the info database
keeps the now inaccurate title information.

Solution: don't update the database with this information.  Just keep a runtime
cache of current titles.  Also, provide a callback so interested parties are
notified of song title changes.

patch for current title hash

Here's a quick patch that adds a currentTitles hash in Slim::Music::Info and
has ways to set, query, and register for change notifications.

There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006.  I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
