This is useful when users want to use a runnable plugin in a stateless
way. In some cases (for example systems with high latency or limited
quotas for API calls) the user may want to leverage the actions of a
plugin, but without running monitoring/polling logic nor generating
events.
Too many things were falling apart, and many others of MPlayer's "API
smells" had never been addressed.
The plugin has now largely been rewritten, and some workarounds (like
accessory monitoring processes) have been added to deal with the fact
that events like end-of-file aren't published by the player, and some
polling is required.
The Redis channel may be closed, and in that case we need to handle the
exception instead of throwing it - which causes the upstream Tornado
worker to fail too.
I hadn't paid attention to this plugin in a while and the newest mpv API
has diverged so much that it was entirely incompatible with recent mpv
versions.
To be consistent with all other media plugins, the parameter name should
be `step`, not `delta`.
A back-compatibility layer has however been introduced for plugins
(namely `music.mpd` and `music.spotify`) that already exposed the old
interface.
If a parent object of the `grid` DOM element has `overflow: auto` as
well, then it will intercept the `@scroll` events, so `Results` won't be
able to render an infinite scroll.
We shouldn't rely on `git diff`. Even when the underlying source code
hasn't changed, and the cache is dumped with `sort_keys=True`, some of
the generated snippets of docstrings may change, leading the CI/CD
pipeline to get stuck in a push loop.
We should instead look for changes to the plugins, backends, events and
schemas folders before and after the CI/CD trigger to infer if we need
to regenerate the file.
Reason: The CI/CD automation regenerates the cache file, and commits
the changes if it differs from the previous version.
The only way to ensure semantic equivalence is to sort the keys upon
dump.
The cache is no longer generated at runtime when the application runs -
which may take quite a while, especially on fresh installations.
A `components.json.gz` file is instead generated by the CI/CD process on
every commit to the main branch, and distributed with the package.
The application will read this file when the `inspect` plugin is first
initialized.
This also means that we can no longer cache the `install_cmds`, as they
change depending on the target OS. A new
`application.get_install_commands` action has now been made available to
the UI, so it can get the correct installation commands at runtime.
Instead of loading all the tracks in the DOM (very inefficient and slow
on slow devices and/or with big playlists), we should keep a window of
100 items in the screen and roll it over the playlists as the status
change or the user scrolls.
