Also add centre tick marks and "L"/"R" (left/right) labels to them.
The idea is to eventually include extra controls like an equalizer, recording
apps, hiding/ignoring apps, routing apps, etc.
Also, remove the left margin from the App Volumes menu items. Even macOS isn't
consistent about including that margin, as far as I can tell.
BGM_Device::StartIO blocks on
BGMAudioDeviceManager::waitForOutputDeviceToStart, which could be blocked by
HAL requests that the HAL wouldn't return until BGM_Device::StartIO returned.
Also:
- Replace BGMPlayThrough's move constructor with a SetDevices function for
simplicity.
- Pause/abort debug builds if an error is logged.
In BGMApp, messages logged with the DebugMsg macro now go to syslog
instead of stdout.
People running standalone BGMApp debug builds (i.e. not in Xcode) should
be able the find the debug logs more easily. Xcode still shows the debug
logs normally when running BGMApp in Xcode.
Also, debug symbols (the .dSYM directory) are now included in the
Background Music.app bundle. (In both debug and release builds.)
CrashReporter is able to find these and use them to symbolicate BGMApp
crash logs.
The names of the data source(s) for a device are generally the names
intended to be shown to the user, since the OS X volume menu, System
Preferences, etc. use them.
A menu item is now added for each data source of each output device,
rather than one per device.
Also adds some macros/functions for casting values to __nonnull.
Resolves#59.
And other reliability improvements. Mostly in BGMPlayThrough and the
classes that use it. Trying to catch C++ exceptions as early as possible
in the Objective-C++ code and, if necessary, convert them to NSErrors.
More errors are logged in release builds now, which will hopefully help
with debugging issues the developers can't reproduce themselves.
- Destroy the Scripting Bridge application object for a music player
when that music player isn't running.
- Move the UI code for the auto-pause menu item into its own class.
- Add a User Defaults class to BGMApp.
- Enable some more warnings for the BGMApp project.
Slight micro-opt that will short circuit the `BufferIsAudible` loop if we've already found something audible.
Was looking through your IO layout and noticed this.
It seems that BGMDriver was failing to compile on case-sensitive file
systems because BGM_Types.h included "AudioServerPlugin.h" instead of
"AudioServerPlugIn.h". (Lowercase "i".)
I tried building with the project and Xcode on a case-sensitive disk
image and it would fail without this patch. So I figure it should at
least build now. I haven't had time to test Background Music on a system
running on a case-insensitive file system yet, so I added a TODO about
it in TODO.md.
Also, some unrelated tidying up.
BGM_Device::StartIO was holding the state mutex longer than it needed
to, which meant HasProperty, GetProperty, etc. couldn't return. If
BGMPlayThrough was notified about IO starting after StartIO locked the
mutex, BGMPlayThrough would get stuck trying to get one of BGMDevice's
properties.
Fixes#46.
The "install" action for BGMXPCHelper now checks the owner/permissions
of the installation directory. It also installs BGMXPCHelper's
launchd.plist and "bootstraps" it.
The BGMApp project now builds an XPC service bundle called BGMXPCHelper,
which vends a Mach service that BGMApp and BGMDriver can use to
communicate. This will hopefully be useful for some of the tasks HAL
notifications aren't suited to.
In this commit, BGMDriver uses the XPC helper when starting IO, to wait
until BGMApp is ready for playthrough. BGMApp can only start playthrough
when the output hardware is ready for IO. BGMDriver can now tell the HAL
when we're ready for IO, which means we don't have to keep the output
hardware running all the time (or drop frames or increase latency).
The end result is that playthrough doesn't waste CPU time while idle any
more. This also means that now playthrough won't prevent the system from
sleeping when idle.
