This contains about the same code as bitmap_packer.c. eosd_packer.c was
added first, and then not merged for a year - then it was added as
bitmap_packer.c with slightly different and incompatible interface. Now
replacing eosd_packer.c with bitmap_packer.c is finally done. So much
wasted work...
Before this commit, the OSD was drawn using libass, but the resulting
bitmaps were converted to the internal mplayer OSD format. We want to
get rid of the old OSD format, because it's monochrome, and can't even
be rendered directly using modern video output methods (like with
OpenGL/Direct3D/VDPAU).
Change it so that VOs can get the ASS images directly, without
additional conversions. (This also has the consequence that the OSD can
render colors now.) Currently, this is vo_gl3 only. The other VOs still
use the old method. Also, the old OSD format is still used for all VOs
with DVD subtitles (spudec).
Rewrite sub.c. Remove all the awkward flags and bounding boxes and
change detection things. It turns out that much of that isn't needed.
Move code related to converting subtitle images to img_convert.c. (It
has to be noted that all of these conversions were already done before
in some places, and that the new code actually makes less use of them.)
Clean up handling of libquvi (which resolves URLs of streaming sites
into URLs to the actual media playable by mpv). Move the code out of
open.c to quvi.c, and invoke it explicitly from mplayer.c, instead of
trying to resolve every filename passed to open_stream().
This allows easily passing metadata from the quvi context to the
frontend. Expose QUVIPROP_PAGETITLE as "media-title" property, and use
that instead of "filename" for the mplayer window title. (For YouTube,
this is the video title.) It's cleaner too.
Handle a potential reliability issue: check quvi_getprop return values.
Since open.c contains barely anything but the open_stream() stub, move
that to stream.c and delete open.c.
This changes the name of this project to mpv. Most user-visible mentions
of "MPlayer" and "mplayer" are changed to "mpv". The binary name and the
default config file location are changed as well.
The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/
Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI,
which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago.
We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require
one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is.
Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts. These contained outdated
dependencies and likely were more harmful than useful. (Patches which
add working and well-tested packaging are welcome.)
ao_dsound.c depended on the same configure check as vo_directx.c, which
was removed in commit 0e2c48a3ce. This accidentally disabled
inclusion of ao_dsound.
Fix it by adding a new check. Also, move it below ao_portaudio on the
auto-select list, as ao_dsound is considered deprecated.
Unrelated to that, move ao_lavc below ao_null to prevent it from being
auto-selected.
Most of these have very limited actual use, or are even entirely
useless. They only serve to bloat the codebase and to make life harder.
Drowning users in tons of barely useful filters isn't exactly helpful
either. Some of these filters were redundant or marked as obsolete.
The dlopen and lua (to be added soon) video filters provide ways to add
custom filters.
Detailed listing for each filter with reasons (with contributions from
divVerent and lachs0r):
1bpp:
Replaced by "scale".
2xsai:
Pixel art scaling algorithm, useless with lossy video.
blackframe:
Not very useful. Apparently one use is combining it with scripts,
that pass the
bmovl:
Weirdly complex and insane (using FIFO commands), questionable use.
cropdetect:
Only sort-of useful when used with scripts, and then it will be
very fragile.
It's probably better to use the dlopen rectangle filter, or to
implement the common use-case in a better way.
decimate:
Not needed/useful with modern video codecs, is an
encoding-only filter.
denoise3d:
"hqdn3d" is better.
detc:
Some of the worse deteleciners.
dint:
Useless, actually crashes. (On an assert in vf.c that is disabled
by default in mplayer-svn.)
dvbscale:
Not even practical, and the same effect can be achieved through
other means.
eq:
Worse/older version of eq2.
field:
Limited use, available as dlopen filter.
fil:
Quoting the manpage:
This filter is very similar to the il filter but much faster,
the main disadvantage is that it does not always work.
Especially if combined with other filters it may produce
randomly messed up images, so be happy if it works but do not
complain if it does not for your combination of filters.
filmdint:
Kind of redundant with pullup, and slightly worse.
fixpts:
Never useful. (Most if not all filters have been fixed for PTS.)
framestep:
Questionable use. For things like creating thumbnails, ffmpeg or
--sstep should be used.
geq:
Limited use, will be redundant with the "lua" filter.
halfpack:
Useless, probably redundant with "scale".
harddup:
Useless.
hue:
Most VOs support this.
il:
Useless.
ivtc:
Another of the worse deteleciners.
kerndeint:
A bad deinterlacer.
lavc:
For DVB output devices. We removed that support.
lavcdeint:
A bad deinterlacer, was already deprecated.
Still available as --vf=pp=fd.
mcdeint:
A broken deinterlacer that uses lavc internals.
ow:
Very slow, barely any quality benefit over "hqdn3d".
palette:
Done by "scale".
perspective:
Files with incorrect perspective are extremely rare. About the
only real-world use for this is keystone correction, which is
usually done in hardware by the projector or by graphics
drivers/compositors.
pp7:
Another useless postprocessing filter with bad and complicated code.
Use libpostprocess with "pp" instead.
qp:
Useless.
remove-logo:
Redundant with delogo, which is better and more practical.
rgbtest:
Useless.
sab, smartblur, boxblur:
Blur filters, redundant to "unsharp".
softskip:
Does nothing.
spp, fspp, uspp:
Useless postprocessing filters. "spp" needs ffmpeg internals.
"fspp" is the optimized version of the "spp" filter (???), while
"uspp" is the slow version (????).
Use libpostprocess with "pp" instead.
telecine:
Evil and useless. Available as dlopen filter for testing
purposes.
test:
Useless.
tfields:
Useless, probably.
tile:
Questionable use. Available as dlopen filter.
tinterlace:
Evil and useless.
yuvcsp:
Probably useless.
yvu9:
Redundant with "scale".
Also remove the following left-over files: vd_null.c, vqf.h
This is needed by demux_mpg (and possibly by demux_ts) for PCM playback.
The decoder does the mapping from MPEG headers to the actual PCM format,
and also unpacks sample data for 20/24 bit formats.
Someone wanted this. Apparently both libavformat's TS demuxer and
demux_ts are crap, and work/fail in different cases.
This demuxer has been removed in 1fde09db6f. All code added comes
from the revision before that. Some required bits have been added in
the commit before this one (re-adding demux_mpg), in particular the
changes to video.c.
stream_dvb will use this demuxer by default, otherwise demux_lavf is
preferred (as it has been before).
Some TS related command line options are not re-added.
Closed captions might not work.
Apparently this was needed for good DVD playback.
This demuxer has been removed in 1fde09db6f. All code added comes
from the revision before that. Some other bits have been removed in
later commits, and are added back as well.
Usage of memalign() is replaced by av_malloc(). As far as I can tell,
this memory is never free'd or reallocated, so no calls to av_free()
have been added.
The code re-added to video.c is plain horrible, full of code
duplication, full of demuxer/codecs specifics, but apparently needed.
Unrelated to re-adding the demuxer, re-add one codepath for
DEMUXER_TYPE_TV, which was accidentally removed in the same commit
demux_mpg was removed.
The closed captions decoder is not re-added.
This was removed in commit 6a26b4a665. Add it back, because it was
needed by demuxer_rawaudio and for PCM audio with demuxers other than
demux_lavf. (In practice, this broke rawaudio and PCM-in-Matroska only.)
Unlike with raw video, there is no single raw audio "decoder" in
libavcodec. Instead of trying to mess raw audio input into ad_ffmpeg
using a table to map audio formats to the respective libavcodec
decoders, it seems advantageous to simply add back ad_pcm.
mpcommon.c used to be the only file to include version.h. version.h is
generated by the build system, and contains the git revision. Any time
a commit is made (or the tree is rebased etc.), the file is rewritten,
and mpcommon.c rebuilt. To make rebuilding less annoying, the definition
of the version string is the only thing in mpcommon.c.
Since I want to add other things to mpcommon.c, add a new file named
version.c, that takes over mpcommon.c's role as described above.
mpcommon.c doesn't include version.h anymore, and will be used to park
code that doesn't really belong anywhere else.
Split the vo_vdpau code that calculates how to pack all subtitle
bitmaps into a larger surface into a separate file. This will allow
using it in other VOs.
Conflicts:
Makefile
libvo/vo_vdpau.c
Note: this commit does the same as an earlier commit by me
(4010dd0b1a). My commit added the vo_vdpau packer code as
eosd_packer.c, while this commit by uau uses bitmap_packer.c. Since
bitmap_packer.c has a different interface, and because there are more
commits changing OSD rendering coming, I will pick uau's version.
However, vo_gl, vo_gl3 and vo_direct3d are still using eosd_packer.c,
so to make the transition easier, don't delete eosd_packer.c yet.
Change libavcodec subtitle decoding code (used for some bitmap
subtitle types) to use the same decoding framework as sd_ass. The
functionality that was previously in av_sub.c and was directly called
from mplayer.c is now in sd_lavc.c.
Conflicts:
mplayer.c
sub/av_sub.h
sub/sd_lavc.c
Merged from mplayer2. The remaining use of is_av_sub() is replaced by
a check whether a subtitle decoder is active, which should give the
same results.
Probably all of these are supported by libavcodec. Missing things can
be added back.
Also remove qtpalette.h. It was used by demux_mov.c, and should have
been deleted with commit 1fde09db6f.
The main excuse for removing this is that LIVE555 deprecated the API
the mplayer implementation was using. The old API still seems to be
somewhat supported, but must be explicitly enabled at LIVE555
compilation, so mplayer won't always work on any user installation.
The implementation was also very messy, in C++, and FFmpeg support is
available as alternative.
Remove it completely.
libavformat replaces demux_audio completely. I don't know/care what
vivo (demux_viv) is. libavformat has a Real demuxer; it seems it works
slightly better, with a different set of bugs.
Support for internal libdvdread has been removed in commit 41fbcee1f5,
but some bits have been missed in Makefile/configure.
Support for libdvdread as normal library is left unchanged.
While being able to play videos on a framebuffer device would be nice,
I didn't need it, and couldn't even test it (buggy nvidia binary
drivers that disable framebuffers, buggy DirectFB that crashes when
using the X11 backend). It's just dead weight, get rid of it.
vo_directx was very horrible, and by today it's mostly useless. I didn't
remove it, because there was that-guy who told me in amazement how
awesome mplayer was, because it was the only video player fast enough
for fast playback on his system when using vo_directx. Sorry, that-guy.
When the internal mplayer MPEG demuxer was removed (commit 1fde09db),
the default demuxer when using dvdnav was set to libavformat. Now it
turns out that this doesn't work with libavformat. It will terminate
playback right after the audio runs out (instead of looping it like the
video, or whatever it's supposed to do). I'm not sure what exactly the
problem is, but since 1. even mplayer-svn can't handle DVD menus
directly (missing highlights), 2. DVD menus are essentially worthless,
and 3. I don't directly watch DVDs, don't bother with it and remove it.
For basic playback, there's still libdvdread support.
Also, use pkg-config for libdvdread, and drop support for in-tree
libdvdread. Remove support for in-tree libdvdcss as well.
Remove the win32 loader - the win32 emulation layer, as well as the
code for using DirectShow/DMO/VFW codecs. Remove loading of xanim,
QuickTime, and RealMedia codecs.
The win32 emulation layer is based on a very old version of wine.
Apparently, wine code was copied and hacked until it was somehow able
to load a limited collection of binary codecs. It poked around in the
code segment of some known binary codecs to disable unsupported win32
API calls to make them work. Example from module.c:
for (i=0;i<5;i++) RVA(0x19e842)[i]=0x90; // make_new_region ?
for (i=0;i<28;i++) RVA(0x19e86d)[i]=0x90; // call__call_CreateCompatibleDC ?
for (i=0;i<5;i++) RVA(0x19e898)[i]=0x90; // jmp_to_call_loadbitmap ?
for (i=0;i<9;i++) RVA(0x19e8ac)[i]=0x90; // call__calls_OLE_shit ?
for (i=0;i<106;i++) RVA(0x261b10)[i]=0x90; // disable threads
Just to show how utterly insane this code is. You wouldn't want even
your worst enemy to have to maintain this. In fact, it seems nobody
made major changes to this code ever since it was committed.
Most formats can be decoded by libavcodecs these days, and the loader
couldn't be used on 64 bit platforms anyway. The same is (probably)
true for the other binary codecs.
General note about how support for win32 codecs could be added back:
It's not possible to replace the win32 loader code by using wine as
library, because modern wine can not be linked with native Linux
programs for certain reasons. It would be possible to to move DirectShow
video decoding into a separate process linked with wine, like the
CoreAVC-for-Linux patches do. There is also the mplayer-ww fork, which
uses the dshownative library to use DirectShow codecs on Windows.
Since slave mode is not planned to be kept, this VO is useless and I'm
removing it.
This VO was useful for OSX GUIs. Since in cocoa you can't embed views in
windows from other processes, this VO was writing to a sharedbuffer with
mmap. The OSX GUIs would then read from the buffer and render the image
with an external renderer.
If in the future we will want to support GUIs we will need to reasearch the
IOSurface framework. This allows to share kernel managed image data
across processes and integrates well with OpenGL.
This transition to a new VO API started over 4 years ago. It's time to
finally end it, and get rid of the horrible hacks.
Also removes some previously undetected dead code from spudec.c.
The removed VO and AO took MPEG data and decoded it with V4L2. I'm not
exactly sure what's the use of this today, but get rid of it.
As far as feeding video data to V4L2 is concerned, there are other
ways. For example, there is this script, that feeds yuv4mpeg formatted
raw video data to V4L2:
https://raw.github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback/master/examples/yuv4mpeg_to_v4l2.c
The encoding branch by divverent can handle of these via libavformat.
Note: for some reason, libav/ffmpeg have a GIF muxer only, and no
demuxer. The gif configure checks needef for the mplayer internal gif
demuxer can't be removed yet.

Teletext requires special OSD support. Because I can't even test
teletext, I can't restore support for it. Since teletext can be
considered ancient and obscure, and since it doesn't make sense to keep
the remaining teletext code without being able to use it, I'm removing
it.
stream_cue, which provided the cue:// protocol handler, was extremely
hacky and didn't even manage to play some samples I tried.
Remove it, because it's plain unneeded. There is much better support
for .cue files elsewhere:
- libcdio can play pairs of .cue/.bin files:
mplayer cdda:// --cdrom-device=your_cue_file.cue
Note that if the .cue file is not accompanied by a .cue file, but
an encoded file for example, this most likely won't work.
- mplayer can play .cue files directly:
mplayer your_cue_file.cue
This works, even if the .cue file comes with encoded files that are
not .bin . Note that if you play .bin files, mplayer will assume a
specific raw audio format. If the format doesn't match, mplayer will
play noise and destroy your speakers. Note that format mismatches are
extremely common, because the endianness seems to be essentially
random. (libcdio uses a clever algorithm to detect the endian, and
doesn't have this problem.)
To quote the manpage: "This filter is untested, maybe even unusable."
And it seems they were never touched again after it was added many
years ago (except for cosmetic changes). Just get rid of them.
About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the
hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged
back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the
new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very
slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was
scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work.
Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the
old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful
for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch,
while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage,
was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the
documentation in the same commit as the code.
Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to
be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development
branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2
master branch after revision 159102e0cb.
Committers:
* Clément Bœsch <ubitux@gmail.com> (Initial conversion to RST.)
* Uoti Urpala <uau@mplayer2.org> (Many updates.)
* Myself (Minor edits.)
Most text of the manpage has been directly taken from the old manpage,
because this is a conversion, not a complete rewrite.

There is no reason why generated source files shouldn't be part of the
clean target, as opposed to distclean. On the contrary, having them
in distclean only looks dangerous when trying to deal with broken
dependency rules. Move them to clean, except config.h (which would
require configure to be run again).
Also, some recently added generated files were missing from the clean
targets.
This was a horrible little tool to detect the host CPU at build time.
Forgotten in commit 74df1d8e05.
Also remove forgotten codec-cfg entry in .gitignore .
The internal array of default key bindings is removed. Include the
file etc/input.conf at compile time (using the file2header tool), and
parse the default binds from etc/input.conf at startup time.
This lowers maintainance overhead, and makes sure the default bindings
and etc/input.conf don't deviate. Commit f30bf73bf2 already
made sure etc/input.conf matches the default bindings, so this commit
shouldn't change anything user-visible.
