Amazon Fun
November 17, 2006 – 4:52 pm
I use amazon for fetching album info and cover art in gmpc. There been problems with fetching cover art for artists like: Arvo Pärt. Cover art is available if you look it up on amazon.com (but you do seem some utf-8 errors. ) I checked the forum for the webservice, and saw that latin was read more
gmpc libmpd version checking runtime
November 13, 2006 – 11:32 pm
I’ve had alot of “bogus” bug reports lately, almost all caused by people having to libmpd installed in different location. It would compile against the right version, but the wrong version would be used runtime. So after fighting with (mostly unnecessary) with autotools, I’ve added a #define LIBMPD_VERSION to libmpd, and a char *libmpd_version = read more
gmpc memory usage 5

I’ve did some small test on the config system used in gmpc. (it’s used for the config file, the metadata cache file and the profile file) The config files takes about 10kbyte of memory, the profiles 1.1 kbyte. But the cover db takes 661kbyte. This isn’t a shocking amount of memory, but on a total read more

To make a more “fair” comparison of gmpc vs. f.e. sonate or pympd. I did another memory profile, and let gmpc locally cache the whole playlist. (Normally gmpc only loads the songs visible). The following profile is done on a gmpc (on a x86_64 bit) with all the plugins loaded (amazon cover fetcher, the wikipedia read more

Another stat, this is pympd, it’s alot slower, so I didn’t take time to skip a few songs, this is just startup and showing the list.. in the beginning it’s pympd not-connected, I needed some time to set the right mpd host+password This is with skipping a few songs:

I know it isn’t 100% fair comparison, bu this is a memory profile of sonate connected to the same server with the same size playlist (another, still active, gtk mpd client (python)) that is 20 times more memory used

I did a quick memory usage check on gmpc today, and this is the result I got: (I’ve disabled ssl in libcurl to save 1/2 a mbyte and fixed a weird 50k errorStr in libmpdclient) This is starting gmpc, connecting to a mpd daemon (with a 14k song playlist) and skipping a few songs. I read more
