Commit 0e0b87b6f3 fixed that dropped packets did not trigger further
work correctly. But it also made trivial --lavfi-complex freeze. The
reason is that the meaning if DATA_AGAIN was overloaded: the decoders
meant that they should be called again, while lavfi.c meant that other
outputs needed to be checked again. Rename the latter meaning to
DATA_STARVE, which means that the current input will deliver no more
data, until "other" work has been done (like reading other outputs, or
feeding input).
The decoders never return DATA_STARVE, because they don't get input from
the player core (instead, they get it from the demuxer directly, which
is why they still can return DATA_WAIT).
Also document the DATA_* semantics in the enum.
Fixes#4746.
Move multiple GL-specific things from the renderer to other places like
vo_opengl.c, vo_opengl_cb.c, and ra_gl.c.
The vp_w/vp_h parameters to gl_video_resize() make no sense anymore, and
are implicitly part of struct fbodst.
Checking the main framebuffer depth is moved to vo_opengl.c. For
vo_opengl_cb.c it always assumes 8. The API user now has to override
this manually. The previous heuristic didn't make much sense anyway.
The only remaining dependency on GL is the hwdec stuff, which is harder
to change.
Seems like I really like this C99 idiom. No reason not to generalize it
do snprintf(). Introduce mp_tprintf(), which basically this idiom to
snprintf(). This macro looks like it returns a string that was allocated
with alloca() on the caller site, except it's portable C99/C11. (And
unlike alloca(), the result is valid only within block scope.)
Use it in 2 places in the vo_opengl code. But it has the potential to
make a whole bunch of weird looking code look slightly nicer.
This API isn't deprecated (yet?), but it's still inferior and harder to
use than avcodec_free_context().
Leave the call only in 1 case in af_lavcac3enc.c, where we apparently
seriously close and reopen the encoder for whatever reason.
This affects options like --vf or --display-tags. These used a "*"
suffix to match all options starting with a specific name, and handled
the rest in the option parser. Change this to remove the "*" special
case, and require every option parser to declare a list of allowed
suffixes via m_option_type.actions.
The new way is conceptually simpler, because we don't have to account
for the "*" in a bunch of places anymore, and instead everything is
centrally handled in the CLI part of the option parser, where it's
actually needed.
It automatically enables suffixes like -add for a bunch of other
stringlist options.
This was especially grating because it causes problems with the
option/property unification, uses as only thing OPT_FLAG_STORE, and
behaves weird with the client API or scripts.
It can be reimplemented in a much simpler way, although it needs
slightly more code. (Simpler because less special cases.)
If --log-file was used in config files, this could be missing due to the
exact timing when the messages are print, and when the options are
applied. Fix this by always dumping the version again when a log file is
opened.
msg.c is "partial" due to "michael", whose work can be changed to LGPL
only once the core is LGPL. It's explained in the Copyright file. I
prefer to do the relicensing incrementally (due to the overwhelming
workload). Changing the license before that happens would be legally
questionable, but nothing can stop us from essentially marking it as
"will be LGPL".
All authors have agreed to LGPL, with the following exceptions:
9df11ee8bf: the author (probably) didn't agree, but the line that is
added is later fully removed.
35e90f1556: was not asked, but all iconv code was 100% removed from the
mp_msg mechanism (we alwas require UTF-8 now).
4e4f3f806e: the change by michael.
50a86fcc34: the identify variable was move, and completely removed the
latest in commit 48bd03dd91.
1f6c494641: did not agree, but due to a major mp_msg change the added
line became unnecessary and was removed.
da63498bf9: was not reachable, but the MPlayer GUI is gone from mpv
anyway (also commit fc4d6e617d removed these specific additions a long
time ago).
The only definitions from MPlayer code are the CONTROL_* defines (added
in 7a2eec4b as part of libao2 - not part of libao), and MP_NOPTS_VALUE,
which was added in e6338c58. The latter is by "michael", who has agreed
under the condition that the core is LGPL, which has not happened yet,
but considering the macro definition used to be different, has the same
value and similar name to libavformat's AV_NOPTS_VALUE (which existed
first, and as LGPL), and that this almost certainly not copyrightable,
I'm assuming that this is fine.
In a first pass, we check whether libavcodec is present.
Then we try to compile a snippet and check for FFmpeg vs. Libav. (This
could probably also be done by somehow checking the pkgconfig version.
But pkg-config can't deal with that idiotic FFmpeg idea that a micro
version number >= 100 identifies FFmpeg vs. Libav.)
After that we check the project-specific version numbers. This means it
can no longer happen that we accidentally allow older, unsupported
versions of FFmpeg, just because the Libav version numbers are somehow
this way.
Also drop the resampler checks. We hardcode which resampler to each with
each project. A user can no longer force use of libavresample with
FFmpeg.
avcodec_parameters_to_context() overwrites codec_type and codec_id. But
we already set these by passing the selected AVCodec to
avcodec_alloc_context3(). It's entirely possible that at least codec_id
is different when forcing codecs with --ad/--vd. It's probably better
not to cause confusion by overwriting them. It might even trigger
undefined behavior in libavcodec (how it behaves or whether codec_id is
supposed to be strictly set is unknown, though).
This can be useful in other contexts.
Note that we end up setting AVCodecContext.width/height instead of
coded_width/coded_height now. AVCodecParameters can't set coded_width,
but this is probably more correct anyway.
This attempted to pass through double float timestamps in a bit exact
way by reinterpret casting them to int64_t. This usually worked, because
libavcodec (in decoding mode) is mostly not allowed to interpret
timestamps. libavcodec doesn't even know the unit of the timestamps,
unless the API user sets a timebase.
We've stopped doing this, and always set a timebase. Only ad_spdif.c
still used this (indirectly through mp_set_av_packet()), but doesn't
actually need timestamps on the packet. In fact, it's already explicitly
setting the packet timestamp fields to 0 before passing it to FFmpeg
API.
This code is unused, and the passthrough method wasn't terribly elegant
to begin with. Drop this code. Arbitrarily use AV_TIME_BASE_Q as
fallback in situations the passthrough was used.
Remove ad_spdif from the normal codec list, and select it explicitly.
One goal was to decouple this from the normal codec selection, so
they're less entangled and the decoder selection code can be simplified
in the far future. This means spdif codec selection is now done
explicitly via select_spdif_codec(). We can also remove the weird
requirements on "dts" and "dts-hd" for the --audio-spdif option, and it
can just do the right thing.
Now both video and audio codecs consist of a single codec family each,
vd_lavc and ad_lavc.
av_reduce(&num, &den, 1, 14112000, 1000000) can return num=0, den=1.
This means a 1/14112000 timebase (as used by the mp3 demuxer) would
become invalid.
The intention of mp_get_codec_timebase() is to always return a valid
timebase. av_reduce() probably does the logically correct thing - so add
a fallback to the safe default timebase.
Also, increase the av_reduce() parameter to INT_MAX. Let's just pray
this doesn't cause any actual problems. libavformat does the same, but
might be in a different position due to using av_rescale() etc., while
we convert between fractional timestamps and floats.
FFmpeg recently got "support" for mov edit lists. This is a terrible
hack that will fail completely at least with some decoders (in
particular wrappers for hardware decoding might be affected). As such it
makes no point to pretend they are supported, even if we assume that the
"intended" functionality works, that there are no implementation bugs
(good luck with all that messy code added to the already huge mov
demuxer), and that it covers enough of the mov edit list feature to be
of value.
So log an error if the FFmpeg code for mov edit lists appears to be
active - AV_PKT_FLAG_DISCARD is used only for "clipping" edit list
segments on non-key frame boundaries.
In the first place, FFmpeg committed this only because Google wanted it
in, and patch review did not even pick up obvious issues. (Just look how
there was no lavc version bump when AV_PKT_FLAG_DISCARD was added.)
We still pass the new packet flag to the decoders (av_common.c change),
which means we "support" FFmpeg's edit list code now. (Until it breaks
due to FFmpeg not caring about all the details.)
Both AVFrame.pts and AVFrame.pkt_pts have existed for a long time. Until
now, decoders always returned the pts via the pkt_pts field, while the
pts field was used for encoding and libavfilter only. Recently, pkt_pts
was deprecated, and pts was switched to always carry the pts.
This means we have to be careful not to accidentally use the wrong
field, depending on the libavcodec version. We have to explicitly check
the version numbers. Of course the version numbers are completely
idiotic, because idiotically the pkg-config and library names are the
same for FFmpeg and Libav, so we have to deal with this explicitly as
well.
We'd like to get log messages on the output as soon as possible in the
output. I also feel like using fflush() is nicer than using setvbuf().
Who knows how the latter behaves on win32.
Seems like a valid use-case. Not sure if I like it calling back into the
config code. Care has to be taken for not letting the config path
resolving code dead-lock (which is why locking details in the msg.c code
are changed).
Fixes#3591.
With the merging of options and properties, the mpv_set_option()
function is close to being useless, and mpv_set_property() can be used
for everything instead. There are certain conflicts remaining, which are
explained in depth in the docs. For now, none of this should affect
existing code using the client API.
Make mpv_set_property() redirect to mpv_set_option() before
initialization.
Remove some options marked as M_OPT_FIXED. The "pause" and "speed"
options cannot be written anymore without the playloop being notified by
it, so the M_OPT_FIXED does nothing. For "vo-mmcss-profile", the problem
was lack of synchronization, which has been added. I'm not sure what the
problem was with "frames" - I think it was only marked as M_OPT_FIXED
because changing it during playback will have no effect. Except for
pause/speed, these changes are needed to make them writable as
properties after mpv_initialize().
Also replace all remaining uses of CONF_GLOBAL with M_OPT_FIXED.
The way option runtime changes are handled is pretty bad in the current
codebase. There's a big option struct (MPOpts), which contains almost
everything, and for which no synchronization mechanism exists. This was
handled by either making some options read-only after initialization,
duplicating the option struct, using sub-options (in the VO), and so on.
Introduce a mechanism that creates a copy of the global options (or
parts of it), and provides a well-defined way to update them in a
thread-safe way.
Most code can remain the same, just that all the component glue code has
to explicitly make use of it first.
There is still lots of room for improvement. For example, the update
mechanism could be better.
Instead of passing through double float timestamps opaquely, pass real
timestamps. Do so by always setting a valid timebase on the
AVCodecContext for audio and video decoding.
Specifically try not to round timestamps to a too coarse timebase, which
could round off small adjustments to timestamps (such as for start time
rebasing or demux_timeline). If the timebase is considered too coarse,
make it finer.
This gets rid of the need to do this specifically for some hardware
decoding wrapper. The old method of passing through double timestamps
was also a bit questionable. While libavcodec is not supposed to
interpret timestamps at all if no timebase is provided, it was
needlessly tricky. Also, it actually does compare them with
AV_NOPTS_VALUE. This change will probably also reduce confusion in the
future.
We don't support this anymore.
This tries to exit in a controlled way after command line options are
applied in order to honor logging options and, in case of libmpv, not to
kill the host. Not sure if it would be better to just vomit text to
stderr and call abort().
AVFormatContext.codec is deprecated now, and you're supposed to use
AVFormatContext.codecpar instead.
Handle this for all of the normal playback code.
Encoding mode isn't touched.
The old algorithm produced results which were not uniformly distributed,
i.e. some particular shuffles were preferred over others.
The new algorithm is an implementation of the Fisher-Yates shuffle which
is guaranteed to shuffle uniformly given a sufficiently uniform rand()
and ignoring potential floating-point errors.
Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>
Completely pointless abominations that FFmpeg refuses to remove. They
are ancient, long deprecated API which we can't use anymore. They
confused users as well.
Pretend that they don't exist. Due to the way --vd works, they can't
even be forced anymore. The older hack which explicitly rejects these
can be dropped as well.
The goal is reducing log messups (which happen surprisingly often) by
buffering partial lines in mp_log. This is still not 100% reliable, but
better.
The extrabuffers for MSGL_STATUS and MSGL_STATS are not needed anymore,
because a separate mp_log instance can be used if problems really occur.
Also, give up, and replace the snprintf acrobatics with bstr.
mp_log.partial has a quite subtle problem wrt. talloc: talloc parents
can not be used, because there's no lock around the internal talloc
structures associated with mp_log. Thus it has to be freed manually,
even if this happens through a talloc destructor.
We want to add a prefix to the ffmpeg log message, so we called mp_msg
multiple times until now. But logging such partial lines is a race
condition, because there's only one internal mp_msg buffer, and no
external mp_msg locks.
Avoid this by building the message on a stack buffer.
I might make a mp_log-local partial line buffer, but even then av_log()
can be called from multiple threads, while targetting the same mp_log.
(Really, ffmpeg's log API needs to be fixed.)
Until now, a rather large stack buffer was used for this, and also a
static buffer in mp_log_root. The latter was added to buffer partial
lines, and the stack buffer was used only for MSGL_STATUS and MSGL_STATS
(I guess because these are the most likely/severe to clash with partial
line buffering).
Make the buffer in mp_log_root dynamically sized, so we don't get cut
off log lines if the text is excessively large. (The OpenGL extension
list dumped by vo_opengl is such an example.)
Since we still have to support partial line buffering (FFmpeg's log
callbacks leave no other choice), keep the stack buffer. But make it
smaller; there's no way all ~6KB are going to be needed in any
situation.
The complex filter support that will be added makes much more complex
use of libavfilter, and I'm not going to bother with adding hacks to
keep libavfilter optional.
Will be helpful for the coming filter support. I planned on merging
audio/video decoding, but this will have to wait a bit longer, so only
remove the duplicate status codes.
This covers source files which were added in mplayer2 and mpv times
only, and where all code is covered by LGPL relicensing agreements.
There are probably more files to which this applies, but I'm being
conservative here.
A file named ao_sdl.c exists in MPlayer too, but the mpv one is a
complete rewrite, and was added some time after the original ao_sdl.c
was removed. The same applies to vo_sdl.c, for which the SDL2 API is
radically different in addition (MPlayer supports SDL 1.2 only).
common.c contains only code written by me. But common.h is a strange
case: although it originally was named mp_common.h and exists in MPlayer
too, by now it contains only definitions written by uau and me. The
exceptions are the CONTROL_ defines - thus not changing the license of
common.h yet.
codec_tags.c contained once large tables generated from MPlayer's
codecs.conf, but all of these tables were removed.
From demux_playlist.c I'm removing a code fragment from someone who was
not asked; this probably could be done later (see commit 15dccc37).
misc.c is a bit complicated to reason about (it was split off mplayer.c
and thus contains random functions out of this file), but actually all
functions have been added post-MPlayer. Except get_relative_time(),
which was written by uau, but looks similar to 3 different versions of
something similar in each of the Unix/win32/OSX timer source files. I'm
not sure what that means in regards to copyright, so I've just moved it
into another still-GPL source file for now.
screenshot.c once had some minor parts of MPlayer's vf_screenshot.c, but
they're all gone.
Makes the next commit simpler. It's probably a bad idea to add more
fields to the global state, but on the other hand the client API state
is pretty much per-instance anyway. It also will help with things like
the proposed libmpv custom stream API.
mp_parse_escape() is used by the JSON parser in json.c, and JSON allows
escaping "/" (solidus).
Although it makes no sense, apparently Javascript traditionally allowed
that as escape sequence for working around issues with embedding
Javascript in HTML. (Or something like this must have been the history
of this issue.) Since it's valid in Javascript, it had to be valid in
JSON as well, and JSON explicitly specifies it as valid escape.
Fixes#2694.
If you do "mpv /bla/", and then branch out into sub-directories using
playlist navigation, and then used quit and watch later, then playing
the same directory did not resume from the previous point. This was
because resuming is based on the path hash, so a path prefix can't be
detected when resuming the parent directory.
Solve this by writing each path prefix when playing directories is
involved. (This includes all parent paths, so interestingly, "mpv /"
would also resume in the above example.)
Something like this was requested multiple times, and I want it too.
This fixes initial decoding of some samples. See #1341.
According to Libav devs, this should be considered a libavcodec bug, but
as it's hard to fix, here we go.
As the removed comment says, not copying this field may cause problems
on older libav* releases. See also commit 5f7de399.
Remove this, as newer FFmpeg releases are available. As of this commit,
use of mpv with FFmpeg 2.5.x and below, or Libav 11 and below is not
recommended, and may lead to random video decoding issues. (Although the
failure cases are apparently somewhat obscure.)
That just makes no sense, but seems to be a somewhat common user error.
The detection is not perfect. It's conceivable that EXT-X-... headers
are used in normal m3u playlists. After all, HLS playlists are by
definition a compatible extension to m3u playlists, as stupid as it
sounds.
Client API users can enable log output with mpv_request_log_messages().
But you can enable only a single log level. This is normally enough, but
the --msg-level option (which controls the terminal log level) provides
more flexibility. Due to internal complexity, it would be hard to
provide the same flexibility for each client API handle. But there's a
simple way to achieve basically the same thing: add an option that sends
log messages to the API handle, which would also be printed to the
terminal as by --msg-level.
The only change is that we don't disable this logic if the terminal is
disabled. Instead we check for this before the message is output, which
in theory can lower performance if messages are being spammed. It could
be handled with some more effort, but the gain would be negligible.
This happens with av_log(NULL, ...) calls. Drop the "?: " fallback
prefix, because it was confusing.
(Of course FFmpeg should not do this at all, but it's a very long way to
making the FFmpeg log callback sane.)
This is slightly "dangerous", because it could overwrite a log callback
another library has set, after we've set our own callback. But it's
probably still slightly better than leaving our own callback, which will
run the fallback code if no mpv instance is set. (Multiple mpv instances
sharing the same global state will safely avoid overwriting each other's
log callback.)
Note that we can't do much better, because the global state in FFmpeg is
obviously insane.
This provides a new method for enabling spdif passthrough. The old
method via --ad (--ad=spdif:ac3 etc.) is deprecated. The deprecated
method will probably stop working at some point.
This also supports PCM fallback. One caveat is that it will lose at
least 1 audio packet in doing so. (I don't care enough to prevent this.)
(This is named after the old S/PDIF connector, because it uses the same
underlying technology as far as the higher level protoco is concerned.
Also, the user should be renamed that passthrough is backwards.)
Right now, the default behavior is to pick the numerically lowest screen
ID that overlaps the window in any way - but this means that mpv will
decide to pick an ICC profile in a pretty arbitrary way even if the
window only overlaps another screen by a single pixel.
The new behavior is to query it based on the center of the window
instead.
This was traditionally needed to silence terminal output from errors
during command line parsing preparsing. Preparsing is done so that
options controlling the terminal and config files are parsed and applied
first, with a second command line parsing pass applying all other
options, _and_ printing error messages for the preparsed ones.
But the hack silencing log output during the preparse pass is actually
not needed anymore, since the terminal is enabled only after preparsing
is finished. update_logging() in main.c does this.
So as long as update_logging() is called before
m_config_preparse_command_line(), this will work.
This duplicates the logic which FFmpeg's libavcodec uses. The effects
are unknown, though it's somewhat clear that a single thread doesn't
necessarily saturate a single CPU.
(Eventually we should just let FFmpeg auto-init the thread count, but
for now I prefer it this way, so e.g. verbose mode will print the
thread count.)
It was possible to make the player play local files by putting rar://
links into remote playlists, and some other potentially unsafe things.
Redo the handling of it. Now the rar-redirector (the thing in
demux_playlist.c) sets disable_safety, which makes the player open any
playlist entries returned. This is fine, because it redirects to the
same file anyway (just with different selection/interpretation of the
contents). On the other hand, rar:// itself is now considered fully
unsafe, which means that it is ignored if found in normal playlists.
The code in main.c calls exit() explicitly, but the code is actually
easier to follow by simply exiting from main() instead. The exit() call
in av_log.c happens only on severely broken builds, so replace it with
abort().
(Shuts up rpmlint warnings.)
Make it accept "," as separator, instead of only ":". Do this by using
the key-value-list parser. Before this, the option was stored as a
string, with the option parser verifying that the option value as
correct. Now it's stored pre-parsed, although the log levels still
require separate verification and parsing-on-use to some degree (which
is why the msg-level option type doesn't go away).
Because the internal type changes, the client API "native" type also
changes. This could be prevented with some more effort, but I don't
think it's worth it - if MPV_FORMAT_STRING is used, it still works the
same, just with a different separator on read accesses.
FFmpeg and Libav have the stupid practice of replacing and deprecating
API symbols on the same day. So with FFmpeg git, this is useless and
will print a compile time warning, while it's required with all stable
releases, and might lead to decoding errors with xvid/avi (apparently).
Add a comment before someone writes a patch and I have to explain it all
over again.
This allows getting the log at all with --no-terminal and without having
to retrieve log messages manually with the client API. The log level is
hardcoded to -v. A higher log level would lead to too much log output
(huge file sizes and latency issues due to waiting on the disk), and
isn't too useful in general anyway. For debugging, the terminal can be
used instead.
And remove all uses of the VFCAP_CSP_SUPPORTED* constants. This is
supposed to reduce conversions if many filters are used (with many
incompatible pixel formats), and also for preferring the VO's natively
supported pixel formats (as opposed to conversion).
This is worthless by now. Not only do the main VOs not use software
conversion, but also the way vf_lavfi and libavfilter work mostly break
the way the old MPlayer mechanism worked. Other important filters like
vf_vapoursynth do not support "proper" format negotation either.
Part of this was already removed with the vf_scale cleanup from today.
While I'm touching every single VO, also fix the query_format argument
(it's not a FourCC anymore).
bstr is a bounded string type, consisting of a pointer and a length
value. If the length is 0, the pointer can be NULL. This is somewhat
logical due to how this abstraction works, but it can leak when
converting to C strings.
talloc_strndup() returns NULL instead of "" in this case, which broke
some other code. Use bstrto0() instead, which is the "proper" function
to convert bstr to char*.
Fixes#1462.
Remove the "all" special-behavior, and instead interpret trailing "*"
characters. --display-tags=all is replaced by --display-tags=* as a
special-case of the new behavior.
See #1404.
Note that the most straight-forward value for matchlen in the normal
case would be INT_MAX, because it should be using the entire string.
I used keylen+1 instead, because glibc seems to handle this case
incorrectly:
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%.*s", INT_MAX, "hello");
The result is empty, instead of just containing the string argument.
This might be a glibc bug; it works with other libcs (even MinGW-w64).
Our own code was introduced when FFmpeg didn't provide this API (or
maybe didn't even have a way to determine the CPU count). But now,
av_cpu_count() is available for all FFmpeg/Libav versions we support,
and there's no reason to have our own code.
libavutil's code seems to be slightly more sophisticated than our's, and
it's possible that the detected CPU count is different on some platforms
after this change.
Do so by using mp_subprocess(). Although this uses completely different
code on Unix too, you shouldn't notice a difference. A less ncie thing
is that this reserves an entire thread while the command is running
(which wastes some memory for stack, at least). But this is probably
still the simplest way, and the fork() trick is apparently not
implementable with posix_subprocess().
This attempts to increase user-friendliness by excluding useless tags.
It should be especially helpful with mp4 files, because the FFmpeg mp4
demuxer adds tons of completely useless information to the metadata.
Fixes#1403.
...because everything is terrible.
strerror() is not documented as having to be thread-safe by POSIX and
C11. (Which is pretty much bullshit, because both mandate threads and
some form of thread-local storage - so there's no excuse why
implementation couldn't implement this in a thread-safe way. Especially
with C11 this is ridiculous, because there is no way to use threads and
convert error numbers to strings at the same time!)
Since we heavily use threads now, we should avoid unsafe functions like
strerror().
strerror_r() is in POSIX, but GNU/glibc deliberately fucks it up and
gives the function different semantics than the POSIX one. It's a bit of
work to convince this piece of shit to expose the POSIX standard
function, and not the messed up GNU one.
strerror_l() is also in POSIX, but only since the 2008 standard, and
thus is not widespread.
The solution is using avlibc (libavutil, by its official name), which
handles the unportable details for us, mostly. We avoid some pain.
The one in msg.c was mistakenly removed with commit e99a37f6.
I didn't actually test the change in ao_sndio.c (but obviously "ap"
shouldn't be static).
Maybe using strings for log levels was a mistake (too broad and too
impractical), so I'm adding numeric log level at least for the receiver
side. This makes it easier to map mpv log levels to other logging
systems.
I'm still too stingy to add a function to set the log level by a numeric
value, though.
The numeric values are not directly mapped to the internal mpv values,
because then almost every file in mpv would have to include the client
API header.
Coalesce this into API version 1.6, since 1.6 was bumped just yesterday.
The API could return partial lines, meaning the message could stop
in the middle of a line, and the next message would have the rest of
it (or just the next part of it). This was a pain for the user, so do
the nasty task of buffering the lines ourselves.
Now only complete lines are sent. To make things even easier for the
API user, don't put multiple lines into a single event, but split them.
The terminal output code needed something similar (inserting a prefix
header on start of each line). To avoid code duplication, this commit
refactors the terminal output so that lines are split in a single
place.
The status line is a bit special; for example it uses special control
codes by design and is not terminated with a newline character in order
to update it on the terminal without scrolling. It's not helpful for
client API users either, and would require special-casing them
(emulating aspects of a terminal?). Also, the status line code is
explicitly disabled on osd.c unless the --terminal option is enabled,
so there was no good way to even enable the status line for the API.
Just pretend that the status line does not exist as far as the client
API is concerned. It won't be sent as MPV_EVENT_LOG_MESSAGE.
So client API users don't have to worry about this specifically.
Also document the overflow case. (Not sure if we really need to do
this; maybe it'd be better not to, since this just adds more noise

This mechanism originates from MPlayer's way of dealing with blocking
network, but it's still useful. On opening and closing, mpv waits for
network synchronously, and also some obscure commands and use-cases can
lead to such blocking. In these situations, the stream is asynchronously
forced to stop by "interrupting" it.
The old design interrupting I/O was a bit broken: polling with a
callback, instead of actively interrupting it. Change the direction of
this. There is no callback anymore, and the player calls
mp_cancel_trigger() to force the stream to return.
libavformat (via stream_lavf.c) has the old broken design, and fixing it
would require fixing libavformat, which won't happen so quickly. So we
have to keep that part. But everything above the stream layer is
prepared for a better design, and more sophisticated methods than
mp_cancel_test() could be easily introduced.
There's still one problem: commands are still run in the central
playback loop, which we assume can block on I/O in the worst case.
That's not a problem yet, because we simply mark some commands as being
able to stop playback of the current file ("quit" etc.), so input.c
could abort playback as soon as such a command is queued. But there are
also commands abort playback only conditionally, and the logic for that
is in the playback core and thus "unreachable". For example,
"playlist_next" aborts playback only if there's a next file. We don't
want it to always abort playback.
As a quite ugly hack, abort playback only if at least 2 abort commands
are queued - this pretty much happens only if the core is frozen and
doesn't react to input.
The purpose is making accessing the current playlist entry saner when
commands are executed during initialization, termination, or after
playlist navigation commands.
For example, the "playlist_remove current" command will invalidate
playlist->current - but some things still access the playlist entry even
on uninit. Until now, checking stop_play implicitly took care of it, so
it worked, but it was still messy.
Introduce the mpctx->playing field, which points to the current playlist
entry, even if the entry was removed and/or the playlist's current entry
was moved (e.g. due to playlist navigation).
Because that might be a bad idea.
Note that remote playlists still can use any protocol marked with
is_safe and is_network, because the case of http-hosted playlists
containing URLs using other streaming protocols is not unusual.
Loading a playlist with --playlist from a sub-directory added the
playlist's base path twice: one time in the playlist demuxer, and then
again in playlist_parse_file(). The latter function is used only for
--playlist, so it worked when loading the playlist directly.
(This is probably a mess-up when the MPlayer playlist parsers were
replaced with newer code.)

Until now, you had to use --load-unsafe-playlists or --playlist to get
playlists loaded. Change this and always load playlists by default.
This still attempts to reject unsafe URLs. For example, trying to invoke
libavdevice pseudo-demuxer is explicitly prevented. Local paths and any
http links (and some more) are always allowed.
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
This is a simplification, because it lets us use the AVPacket
functions, instead of handling the details manually.
It also allows the libavcodec rawvideo decoder to use reference
counting, so it doesn't have to memcpy() the full image data. The change
in av_common.c enables this.
This change is somewhat risky, because we rely on the following AVPacket
implementation details and assumptions:
- av_packet_ref() doesn't access the input padding, and just copies the
data. By the API, AVPacket is always padded, and we violate this. The
lavc implementation would have to go out of its way to make this a
real problem, though.
- We hope that the way we make the AVPacket refcountable in av_common.c
is actually supported API-usage. It's hard to tell whether it is.
Of course we still use our own "old" demux_packet struct, just so that
libav* API usage is somewhat isolated.
We already redirect all terminal output through our own wrappers (for
the sake of UTF-8), so we might as well use it to handle ANSI escape
codes.
This also changes behavior on UNIX: we don't retrieve some escape codes
per terminfo anymore, and just hardcode them. Every terminal should
understand them.
The advantage is that we can pretend to have a real terminal in the
normal player code, and Windows atrocities are locked away in glue
code.
Use OPT_KEYVALUELIST() for all places where AVOptions are directly set
from mpv command line options. This allows escaping values, better
diagnostics (also no more "pal"), and somehow reduces code size.
Remove the old crappy option parser (av_opts.c).
Almost nothing was left of it.
The only thing this commit actually removes is support for reading
input commands from stdin. But you can emulate this via:
--input-file=/dev/stdin --input-terminal=no
However, this won't work on Windows. Just use a named pipe.
Currently entries are added after the current playlist element. This is kinda
confusing, more so given that "loadfile append" appends at the end of the
playlist.
Not all compilers on all platforms have atomics available (even if they
could, technically speaking).
We don't use atomics that much, only the following things rely on it:
1. the audio pull code, and all audio outputs using it
2. updating global msg levels
3. reading log messages through the client API
Just disable 1. and 3. if atomics are not available. For 2., using fake-
atomics isn't too bad; at worst, message levels won't properly update
under certain situations (but most likely, it will work just fine).
This means if atomics are not available, the client API function
mpv_request_log_messages() will do nothing.
CC: @mpv-player/stable
(Again.)
This time, we simply make it event-based, as it should be. This is done
for both demuxer metadata and stream metadata.
For some ogg-over-icy streams, 2 updates are reported on stream start.
This is because libavformat reports an update right on start, while
including the same info in the "static" metadata. I don't know if that's
a bug or a feature.
Unfortunately, there's a recursive function call in ao_lavc.c (play
function), leading to a deadlock. The locking is getting a bit messy, so
just make the lock recursive.
This fixes#844.
While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
Listening on messages currently uses polling (every time
mpv_wait_event() has no new events, the message buffer is polled and a
message event is possibly created). Improve this situation a bit, and
call the user-supplied wakeup callback.
This will increase the frequency with which the wakeup callback is
called, but the client is already supposed to be able to deal with this
situation. Also, as before, calling mpv_wait_event() from the wakeup
callback is forbidden, so the client can't read new messages from the
callback directly.
The wakeup pipe is written either. Since the wakeup pipe is created
lazily, we can't access the pipe handle without creating a race
condition or a deadlock. (This is actually very silly, since in practice
the race condition won't matter, but for now let's keep it clean.)
A playlist_move command that moves an entry onto itself (both arguments
have the same index) should do nothing, but it did something broken. The
underlying reason is that it checks the prev pointer of the entry which
is temporarily removed for moving.
In my opinion, we shouldn't use atomics at all, but ok.
This switches the mpv code to use C11 stdatomic.h, and for compilers
that don't support stdatomic.h yet, we emulate the subset used by mpv
using the builtins commonly provided by gcc and clang.
This supersedes an earlier similar attempt by Kovensky. That attempt
unfortunately relied on a big copypasted freebsd header (which also
depended on much more highly compiler-specific functionality, defined
reserved symbols, etc.), so it had to be NIH'ed.
Some issues:
- C11 says default initialization of atomics "produces a valid state",
but it's not sure whether the stored value is really 0. But we rely on
this.
- I'm pretty sure our use of the __atomic... builtins is/was incorrect.
We don't use atomic load/store intrinsics, and access stuff directly.
- Our wrapper actually does stricter typechecking than the stdatomic.h
implementation by gcc 4.9. We make the atomic types incompatible with
normal types by wrapping them into structs. (The FreeBSD wrapper does
the same.)
- I couldn't test on MinGW.
When writing a video to foo.mp3, the user's intention is clearly to drop
the video stream, and similarly, when writing to foo-%d.png, the
intention is clearly to drop the audio stream. Now, explicit
specification of --no-audio or --no-video is no longer necessary in
these cases.
Use the exact floating point value, instead of a broken integer
constant. The expression calculating the constant probably relied on
undefined behavior, because it left-shifts a negative value.
This also changes the type of the constant to double, which is perfectly
fine, and maybe better than an integer constant.
Make it more suitable for chaining. This means a function formatting a
value to a string using a static buffer can work exactly like
mp_snprintf_append itself.
Also rename it to mp_snprintf_cat, because that's shorter.
Also remove MSGL_SMODE and friends.
Note: The indent in options.rst was added to work around a bug in
ReportLab that causes the PDF manual build to fail.
This used global variables for the asynchronous interrupt callback.
Pick the simple and dumb solution and stuff the callback into
mpv_global. Do this because interrupt checking should also work in the
connect phase, and currently stream creation equates connecting.
Ideally, this would be passed to the stream on creation instead, or
connecting would be separated from creation. But since I don't know yet
which is better, and since moving stream/demuxer into their own thread
is something that will happen later, go with the mpv_global solution.
Not needed anymore. I'm not opposed to having asm, but inline asm is too
much of a pain, and it was planned long ago to eventually get rid fo all
inline asm uses.
For the note, the inline asm use that was removed with the previous
commits was almost worthless. It was confined to video filters, and most
video filtering is now done with libavfilter. Some mpv filters (like
vf_pullup) actually redirect to libavfilter if possible.
If asm is added in the future, it should happen in the form of external
files.
This collects statistics and other things. The option dumps raw data
into a file. A script to visualize this data is included too.
Litter some of the player code with calls that generate these
statistics.
In general, this will be helpful to debug timing dependent issues, such
as A/V sync problems. Normally, one could argue that this is the task of
a real profiler, but then we'd have a hard time to include extra
information like audio/video PTS differences. We could also just
hardcode all statistics collection and processing in the player code,
but then we'd end up with something like mplayer's status line, which
was cluttered and required a centralized approach (i.e. getting the data
to the status line; so it was all in mplayer.c). Some players can
visualize such statistics on OSD, but that sounds even more complicated.
So the approach added with this commit sounds sensible.
The stats-conv.py script is rather primitive at the moment and its
output is semi-ugly. It uses matplotlib, so it could probably be
extended to do a lot, so it's not a dead-end.
This re-allows the previous behaviour of being able to reencode with
metadata removed, which is useful when encoding "inconsistently" tagged
data for a device/player that shows file names when tags are not
present.
These playlist parsers are all what's left from the old mplayer playlist
parsing code. All of it is old code that does little error checking; the
type of C string parsing code that gives you nightmare.
Some playlist parsers have been rewritten and are located in
demux_playlist.c. The removed formats were not reimplemented. ASX and
SMIL use XML, and since we don't want to depend on a full blown XML
parser, this is not so easy. Possibly these formats could be supported
by writing a very primitive XML-like lexer, which would lead to success
with most real world files, but I haven't attempted that. As for NSC, I
couldn't find any URL that worked with MPlayer, and in general this
formats seems to be more than dead.
Move playlist_parse_file() to playlist.c. It's pretty small now, and
basically just opens a stream and a demuxer. No use keeping
playlist_parser.c just for this.
Since the AO will run in a thread, and there's lots of shared state with
encoding, we have to add locking.
One case this doesn't handle correctly are the encode_lavc_available()
calls in ao_lavc.c and vo_lavc.c. They don't do much (and usually only
to protect against doing --ao=lavc with normal playback), and changing
it would be a bit messy. So just leave them.
This field will be moved out of the ao struct. The encoding code was
basically using an invalid way of accessing this field.
Since the AO will be moved into its own thread too and will do its own
buffering, the AO and the playback core might not even agree which
sample a PTS timestamp belongs to. Add some extrapolation code to handle
this case.
Will be helpful to track down strange wait times and such issues, as
well when you have develop something timing related. (Then you may print
timestamps in your debug output, and the --msgtime timestamps will help
giving context.)
Print a warning if a library has mismatched compile time and link time
versions.
Refuse to work if the compile time and link time versions are a mix of
ffmpeg and libav. We print an error message and call exit(). Since we'd
randomly crash anyway, I think this is ok.
This doesn't catch the case if you e.g. use a ffmpeg libavcodec and a
libav libavformat, which would of course just crash as quickly, but I
think this checks enough already.
On Windows, no ANSI control sequences are available, so we can't easily
clear lines, move the cursor, etc. It's yet to be decided how this
should be handled (emulate ANSI escapes in osdep/terminal-win.c, or
provide abstracted terminal API functions to unify the Linux and Windows
code).
For now, this fixes the regression that was introduced earlier by the
status line rewrite. It doesn't fix all aspects of status line and
terminal OSD handling, as can be clearly seen by the unconditional use
of terminal_erase_to_end_of_line further down the changed code.
Fixes github issue #499 (sort of).
This avoids stray newlines when:
1. Some (non-status line) text was output
2. Then an empty status line is output
According to the logic, 2. should print an empty line to show the blank
status line. Don't do that, and instead output nothing in this case.
This caused problems with mpv_identify.sh, and also looked ugly when
using --quiet.
This was broken yesterday: the playlist demuxer will always fall back to
plaintext playlist files, which will cause the ASX playlist parser and
some others never to be called.
Until now, mp_msg output always went to the terminal. There was no way
to grab the stream of output messages. But this will be needed by
various future changes: Lua scripts, slave mode, client library...
This commit allows registering a ring buffer. A callback would be more
straight-forward, but since msg.c sits at the bottom of the lock
hierarchy (it's used by virtually everything), this would probably be a
nightmare. A ring buffer will be simpler and more predictable in the
long run.
We allocate new memory for each ringbuffer entry, which is probably a
bit expensive. We could try to be clever and somehow pack the data
directly into the buffer, but I felt like this wouldn't be worth the
complexity. You'd have to copy the data a bunch of times anyway. I'm
hoping that we can get away with using the ringbuffer mechanism for
low frequency important messages only (and not e.g. for high volume
debug messages), so the cost doesn't matter that much.
A ringbuffer has a simple, single log level. I considered allowing
--msglevel style per-prefix configuration for each ringbuffer, but
that would have been pretty complicated to implement, and wouldn't
have been that useful either.
This makes
mp_msg(x, y, "a\nb\n")
behave the same as
mp_msg(x, y, "a\n")
mp_msg(x, y, "b\n")
which is probably what one would expect. Before this commit, the "b"
line didn't have a prefix when using ths single mp_msg call.
The terminal OSD code includes the handling of the terminal status line,
showing player OSD messages on the terminal, and showing subtitles on
terminal (the latter two only if there is no video window, or if
terminal OSD is forced).
This didn't handle some corner cases correctly. For example, showing an
OSD message on the terminal always cleared the previous line, even if
the line was an important message (or even just the command prompt, if
most other messages were silenced).
Attempt to handle this correctly by keeping track of how many lines the
terminal OSD currently consists of. Since there could be race conditions
with other messages being printed, implement this in msg.c. Now msg.c
expects that MSGL_STATUS messages rewrite the status line, so the caller
is forced to use a single mp_msg() call to set the status line.
Instead of littering print_status() all over the place, update the
status only once per playloop iteration in update_osd_msg(). In audio-
only mode, the status line might now be a little bit off, but it's
perhaps ok.
Print the status line only if it has changed, or if another message was
printed. This might help with extremely slow terminals, although in
audio+video mode, it'll still be updated very often (A-V sync display
changes on every frame).
Instead of hardcoding the terminal sequences, use
terminfo/termcap to get the sequences. Remove the --term-osd-esc option,
which allowed to override the hardcoded escapes - it's useless now.
The fallback for terminals with no escape sequences for moving the
cursor and clearing a line is removed. This somewhat breaks status line
display on these terminals, including the MS Windows console: instead of
querying the terminal size and clearing the line manually by padding the
output with spaces, the line is simply not cleared. I don't expect this
to be a problem on UNIX, and on MS Windows we could emulate escape
sequences. Note that terminal OSD (other than the status line) was
broken anyway on these terminals.
In osd.c, the function get_term_width() is not used anymore, so remove
it. To remind us that the MS Windows console apparently adds a line
break when writint the last column, adjust screen_width in terminal-
win.c accordingly.
This code is shared between input.conf parser and option parser. Until
now, the performance didn't really matter. But I want to use this code
for JSON parsing too, and since JSON will have to be parsed a lot, it
should probably try to avoid realloc'ing too much.
This commit moves parsing of C-style escaped strings into a common
function, and allows using it in a way realloc can be completely
avoided, if the already allocated buffer is large enough.
I find this annoying. It's the reason common/version.c exists at all.
options.c did this for the user agent, which contains the version
number. Because not including version.h means you can't build the user
agent and use it in mp_default_opts anymore, do something rather awkward
in main.c to initialize the default user agent.
The TV code pretends to be part of stream/, but it's actually demuxer
code too. The audio_in code is shared between the TV code and
stream_radio.c, so stream_radio.c needs a small hack until stream.c is
converted.
This is pretty nasty, because FFmpeg/Libav is yet another library with a
global message callback. We do something with mutexes trying to get it
done, but of course we can't actually solve this problem. If more than
one library in a process use FFmpeg/Libav, only one of them will get log
messages.
Always pass around mp_log contexts in the option parser code. This of
course affects all users of this API as well.
In stream.c, pass a mp_null_log, because we can't do it properly yet.
This will be fixed later.
The mp_select_decoders() function doesn't have a log context (and I
don't want to give it one), so get rid of the mp_msg error message by
enhancing the semantics such that the syntax error is replaced by a new
feature. Now doing "--ad=something" will enable all decoders in the
"something" module, same as "--ad=something:*". Pretty useless, but gets
rid of the annoyance.
I don't know under which circumstances this can error (other than a
broken format string). It seems it won't return an error code on I/O
errors, so maybe broken format strings are the only case. Either way,
don't continue if an error is returned.
We have certain race conditions coming from doing multiple fprintf()
calls (setting up colors etc.). I'm not sure whether it would be worth
changing to code such that we do only one fprintf() call (and assume
this synchronizes access), but considering it would be hard to do
(Windows compatibility, ...), and that stdio uses per FILE locks anyway,
this is simpler and probably not less efficient. Also, there's no
problem handling the weird statusline special case this way.
Note that mp_msg_* calls which are silent won't acquire the lock, and
acquiring the lock happens on actual output only (which is slow and
serialized anyway).
Basically, reimplement --msglevel. Instead of making the new msg code
use the legacy code, make the legacy code use the reimplemented
functionality.
The handling of the deprecated --identify switch changes. It temporarily
stops working; this will be fixed in later commits.
The actual sub-options syntax (like --msglevel-vo=...) goes away, but I
bet nobody knew about this or used this anyway.
Instead of making msg.c an ifdef hell for unix vs. windows code, move
the code to separate functions defined in terminal-unix.c/terminal-
win.c.
Drop the code that selects random colors for --msgmodule prefixes.
This comes with a real change in behavior: now the signal handler is set
only when the terminal input code is active (e.g. not with
--no-consolecontrols), but this should be ok.
In my opinion, config.h inclusions should be kept to a minimum. MPlayer
code really liked including config.h everywhere, though, even in often
used header files. Try to reduce this.
