4502522a7a implemented cache directories
but only on linux which meant other OSes continued to save this stuff in
their config directory. Since we turned on cache by default, people are
getting cache files in there which is understandably causing some
confusion. Let's go ahead and implement a separate cache directory for
windows since there seems to be some established conventions for this
already. For people using the portable_path, the cache is saved in a
subdirectory within the portable_path since the idea is for that to be
completely self contained.
Apparently mpv supports loading config files from the same directory as
the mpv.exe. This is a fallback of some sort. It used the old_home
mechanism.
I want to add a warning if old_home exists, but that would always show
the warning on win32. Obviously we don't want that.
Add a separate exe_dir entry to deal with that.
Untested, but probably works.
Mistakenly reverted as part of the default configuration directory
location switch-back in aa18a8e1cd.
Separation of the mpv executable directory from old_path is a
good change now that we warn about the old_config directory also
existing.

We always want to use __declspec(selectany) to declare GUIDs, but
manually including <initguid.h> in every file that used GUIDs was
error-prone. Since all <initguid.h> does is define INITGUID and include
<guiddef.h>, we can remove all references to <initguid.h> and just
compile with -DINITGUID to get the same effect.
Also, this partially reverts 622bcb0 by re-adding libuuid.a to the
build, since apparently some GUIDs (such as GUID_NULL) are not declared
in the source file, even when INITGUID is set.
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.
CSIDLs have been deprecated in Windows Vista and are not recommended for
use in new code. They have been replaced with Known Folder IDs, which
are pretty much the same thing, except they use GUIDs.
Revert "win32: more wchar_t -> WCHAR replacements"
Revert "win32: replace wchar_t with WCHAR"
Doing a "partial" port of this makes no sense anymore from my
perspective. Revert the changes, as they're confusing without
context, maintenance, and progress. These changes were a bit
premature anyway, and might actually cause other issues
(locale neutrality etc. as it was pointed out).
WCHAR is more portable. While at least MinGW, Cygwin, and MSVC actually
use 16 bit wchar_t, Midipix will have 32 bit wchar_t. In that context,
using WCHAR instead is more portable.
This affects only non-MinGW parts, so not all uses of wchar_t need to
be changed. For example, terminal-win.c won't be used on Midipix at
all. (Most of io.c won't either, so the search & replace here is more
than necessary, but also not harmful.)
(Midipix is not useable yet, so this is just preparation.)
See manpage additions.
The main reason for adding this is that we can't guess whether the user
wants his config in his Windows profile or not. The user basically has
to tell mpv what should be done, and the "portable_config" directory
does this implicitly.
Fixes#2042 (approximately).
win32 has a special function for this.
I'm not sure about OSX - it seems ~/Desktop can be hardcoded, and the
OSX GUI actually localizes the _displayed_ path in its UI.
For Unix, there is not much to be done, or is there.
Somewhat less ifdeffery, higher flexibility. Now there are 3 separate
config file resolvers for 3 platforms (unix, win, osx), and they can
still interact with each other somewhat. For example, OSX for now uses
most of Unix, but adds the OSX bundle path.
This can be extended to resolve very specific platform paths, such as
location of the desktop.
Most of the Unix specific code moves to path-unix.c.
The behavior should be the same - if not, it is likely a bug.
Assume mpv.exe is located in $mpv_exe_dir, then config files were
preferably loaded from "$mpv_exe_dir/mpv". This was mostly traditional,
and inherited from MPlayer times.
Reverse the config path priority order, and prefer $CSIDL_APPDATA/mpv as
main config path. This also fixes behavior when writing watch_later
configs, and mpv is installed in a not-writable path.
It's possible that this will cause regressions for some users, if the
change in preference suddenly prefers stale config files (which may
happen to longer around in the appdata config dir) over the user's
proper config.
Also explicitly document the behavior.
Until now, the config functions added various allocations to the user-
provided talloc context. Make it so that they're all under the returned
allocation instead. This allows avoiding having to create an extra
temporary context for some callers, and also avoids adding random memory
leaks by accidentally passing a NULL context.
mp_find_all_config_files() has to be changed not to return a pointer
into the middle array for this to work. Make it add paths in order
(instead of reverse), and then reverse the array entries after that.
Also remove the declarations for the win-specific private functions.
Remove STRNULL(); it's barely needed anymore and the functions are
not called with NULL filenames anymore.
Search $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS for config files.
This also negates the need to have separate user and global variants of
mp_find_config_file()
Closes#864, #109.

Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
Remove the ifdef hell from mp_find_user_config_file(). Move the win32
specific code (for MinGW and Cygwin) to path-win.c. The behavior should
be about the same, but I can't be sure due to lack of testing and
because the old path.c code was hard to follow. (I expect those who care
about windows will fix things, should issues pop up - sorry.)
One difference is that the new code will always force MPV_HOME. It looks
like the old code preferred the mpv config dir in the exe dir if it
exists.
Also, make sure MP_PATH_MAX has enough space, even if the equivalent
wchar_t string is not 0-terminated with PATH_MAX (because apparently the
winapi doesn't require this). (Actually, maybe we should just kill all
uses of PATH_MAX/MP_PATH_MAX.)
