It depends on how often the xrun messages are written to the MPD log.

Each time the monitor wakes up it reads the messages in the log that were written since the last time it woke up.  If a message is an xrun message a counter is incremented and checked against the threshold to determine whether to restart MPD. The monitor then goes to sleep. 

So basically if threshold number of xrun messages occur in < sleep_interval then MPD restart will occur in max 1 x sleep_interval secs. When I was looking at the MPD log to get a sense of how long to took to see 3 xrun messages during a stalled stream it looked like 6 seconds would be a reasonable default sleep_interval.

I get it. most excellent work, and much better than my dirty script to do the job Smile

One other thing occurred to me over night.  My script has to cope with different messages in the mpd log when Camilla is running.  The playing silence to avoid xrun" messages are there, but frequently swamped by "Thread out of data" messages coming from Camilla.  As a result I match for:
Code:
$LASTLOG = *"xrun"* || $LASTLOG = *"Thread out of data"*

where $LASTLOG is set the last line of the mpd log.
You mention that your monitor reads all the messages since it last ran, so I expect this isn't an issue here, just that there may be (a lot) more messages to read when Camilla is in play.

Right, when Camilla is on and a stream fail case occurs MPD xrun messages are interspersed among tons of cdsp messages.

The algorithm for reading the log is basically a PHP implementation of the tail -f command. I used the tailLog() function in moodeutl as the basis for the mpdmon.php daemon.

I'll prolly upload a ~pre1 image to Test Team today. Give it a try when u get the chance.

Burning it right now. I'll report back if I spot issues. Must say, the xrun condition is much rarer these days, dunno why it got better.

Here's latest draft release notes.

What's new:

Option to remove CamillaDSP configs and IR files before restoring from backup. This enables the  scenario where user wants to replace all the sample configs and IR's with their own set of configs / IR files.

Sure the Tag/Album fix is working?
I see somehow erratic behavior: there is a scroll + highlight in the albums' pane, but not in the artists'.

I cannot remember exactly what I do, I think I just re-open moOde in the browser, and go to the library. Now, say I am on album 7 of artist X, now the library scrolls to the 7th album within the entire list of albums, as no artist is selected... same behavior I see with the local UI on the 7'' display (ah, yes, maybe when I enter some configuration page, then I go back to play-mode...).

I don't believe this might be related to the fact that I haven't flashed any new image since a while, although it might be... ;-)
#19
This -> "there is a scroll + highlight in the albums' pane, but not in the artists'" is the way the code currently works.

IIRC there was a reason the artist could not also be identified and scroll-to but my memory is not so good on this.

Probably for scenarios of multiple-artist albums? Maybe only AlbumArtist should be kept into consideration in these situations?
Note, that if I scroll the library and select something just to, say, look into the audio parameters of a track; then revert to NowPlaying, and then click on the artist I'll be taken to the library, and such artist would be highlighted; not the album this time, though - so the now-playing context can actually know what artist and album is currently playing. The technical details for the limitations, if any, I don't (yet) know, obviously... ;-)

Not a big issue, obviously, but also the eye wants its candy :-)
