Umm... DSF/DFF? What are these?

Does the song duration/progress appear for other MPD clients?

Those are ripped SACD files.
You can download free samples at http://www.2l.no/hires/index.html
ncmpc works fine as attached with MPD 0.18git.

So, do other file types work ok? ie do the durations/progress appear for MP3 
files with MPD 0.18git?

Which version of ncmpc is this? Is it a release version?

Other files are fine as well and I'm using ncmpc 0.17 which is included in 
Ubuntu 12.04.

My guess is that Cantata thinks these files are streams, and therefore disables 
the progressbar.

Can you edit mpd/mpdconnection.cpp and change (about line 41) from:

---------------8<------------------

// #define DBUG qWarning() << "MPDConnection" << QThread::currentThreadId()
#define DBUG qDebug()

---------------8<------------------

to:

---------------8<------------------

#define DBUG qWarning() << "MPDConnection" << QThread::currentThreadId()
// #define DBUG qDebug()

---------------8<------------------

And the recompile Cantata. When you restart Cantata, it will logs *lots* of 
debug. Please play the DFF, file, the in the Cantata debug you should see 
something like:

---------------8<------------------

MPDConnection 2905250624 0xa089248 sendCommand: "currentsong" true true 
MPDConnection 2905250624 0xa089248 Waiting for read data.

---------------8<------------------

Where the file/song details should be that of you DFF file. Can you send me 
this section? (e.g. the parts after 'sendCommand: "currentsong" true true')

Ah, so there are no song details - no artist, album, and no 'Time'? This is 
what is probably causing the issue.

Seeing as I cant access git from here, could you email me you're pre-compiled 
(32-bit) mpd?

No artist, album but time I think since I can see the time at ncmpc.
Please find the attached file for my humble mpd.
Thanks for your support as always!

Thanks for the MPD build.

Strange, but this works for me - using the folders list I can add 
2L-056_stereo_01_01.dff to my play queue, the song plays, and the 
duration/position IS updated.

However, the MPD seems a bit 'flakey' - after a while all communication seems 
to fail. And even using just 'mpc' hangs.

This is a pre-release, development version of MPD. And as I stated above, it 
seems to work for me. In tour output MPD was not sending cantata a 'Time', 
therefore cantata cannot no the duration, etc - so cant display this.

I see however song duration for DSF as already added to the official 0.7.1 
release.

I tried again and it works fine. It's indeed 'invalid'.
