verbose = 0 is still verbose, lastfm journal is not being updated when offline.

[gottaeat]

i invoke mpdscribble with mpdscribble --conf /etc/mpdscribble.conf --verbose 0, which uses this configuration:

pidfile = /var/run/scribble.pid
daemon_user = mpd
log = /var/lib/mpd/scribble.log
verbose = 0
host = /var/lib/mpd/socket

[last.fm]
url = http://post.audioscrobbler.com/
username =
password =
journal = /var/lib/mpd/lastfm.journal

but even though verbose is set to 0 in both the cmdline and in the config, i see this with every song change:

according to the manpage: "2" logs infor-mational messages (e.g. "new song"); so if i understand that correctly, i shouldn't see what i am seeing above in my log file.

also when i render the system completely offline, i do not see /var/lib/mpd/lastfm.journal being created. i am only seeing errors in the log:

both mpd and mpdscribble are running as user mpd which has read+write access to /var/lib/mpd.

 0 ~: mpdscribble --version | head -1; mpd --version | head -1
mpdscribble version 0.23
Music Player Daemon 0.21.10 (0.21.10)

am i doing something wrong?

[grandchild]

I just noticed something similar today. It seems the verbose config setting is inverse. 0 means to log everything(?), 1 and 2 log a bit less and it seems that 3+ doesn't log anything anymore?

I noticed this because I had auth issues, and the only log level that did show me the actual error ("username or password incorrect") was 0.
