Cantata doesn't start with internet radio URL in playlist

Which version of MPD are you using? I'm on kubuntu 12.04, but I cant get MPD to 
list m3u files :-( Cant fix the problem until I can reproduce it.

My MPD is 0.16.0

I'm using 0.17git and cantata cannot load any URL.
why don't you try Linn Classical-http://89.16.185.174:8004/stream?
ncmpc works fine but cantata cannot start URL playlist.

To make it clear, load URL(s) at ncmpc and it plays well.
Execute cantata and it just escapes.
Run Ncmpc to delete the URLs and Cantata works fine.

I can load that stream, and start and re-start cantata. But, I cannot list/load 
m3u files - as my MPD version does not support this.

Guess I'll need to update my MPD version.

I /think/ this is an issue of e accessing a pointer before its set. Please 
update to r2116 - this /should/ resolve the issue. Please let me know if it 
does.

Thanks for your support.
Much better! it loads URL m3u and plays internet radio well.
However play queue seems to be unstable though.
If a URL is selected and next URLs doesn't show up properly.
Play queues are fine with other mpd clients and reloaded Cantata.
Please review the streaming m3u play queue and it's hard to explain.

Hopefully now fixed with r1219

The reason for the error is that Cantata use the 'plchangesposid' command to 
ask MPD for just the items that have changed. Previously, cantata assumed that 
if there were 10 items, and row 5 changed, that MPD would send all rows from 5 
onwards. It seems, as because just the info changed (MPD found the song name 
from the stream), that MPD on;y sent the 1 row. Cantata then thought there was 
only one item in the play queue, and the others 'disappeared'. There was 
originally some code to handle 'plchangesposid' behaving like this, but it 
seemed to interfere with the 'dynamic' mode - so was commented out. I've now 
re-added this code, and changed it slightly, and all /seems/ to be well again.

Please confirm if things are ok for you now.

I don't understand the reason 100%, anyway it's resolved.
Wonderful job again!
