Description:
Since update to 0.9.4-4 (and it's also the case for 0.9.4-5) I'm encountering two issues with the MPD module of waybar: * the option format-disconnected seems to be ignored: I used to have an empty string and a special style; the special style is not displayed, and when I added a few chars to the string I could note that the string itself is ignored; * the display seems fine when the server is running; however, if I kill the server, instead of going back to idle mode it keeps on showing whatever was printed right before the server was shut down. |

This is likely to me backporting a patch [1] from the upstream repository to fix an MPD-related crash [2].
Aubergine, are you able to build the latest mater branch and see if this issue still affects you? It'd be good to know if the backport or upstream itself is the culprit.
[1] https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/pull/887/files
[2] https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/issues/775
I built and ran the current master (f91dc7f); the issue doesn't seem to be present.
Instead of removing the patch that fixes an upstream acknowledged crash I would leave this in. Asking upstream to cut a new release is of course also a good idea.
@Aubergine:
Have you tried contacting upstream about this issue?
How are you starting mpd and would you mind sharing your waybar config that exhibits this behavior?
Anyway, I opened up a new report asking for a release:
https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/issues/948
I start mpd manually when I need it, in a terminal from which I then usually run a client.
Are you still interested in my config files?
