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).
This was essentially missing from commit 0b52ac8a.
Since L"..." string literals have the type wchar_t[], we can't use them
for UTF-16 strings. Use C11 u"..." string literals instead. These have
the type char16_t[], but we simply assume char16_t is the same
underlying type as WCHAR. In practice, they're both unsigned short.
For this reason use -std=c11 on Windows. Since Windows is a "special"
environment (we require either MinGW or Cygwin), we don't need to worry
too much about compiler compatibility.
Allow setting an arbitrary amount, instead of the fixed 50%.
This is nto striclty backwards compatible. The defaults don't change,
but the --cache/--cache-default options now set the readahead portion.
So in practice, users who configured this until now will see the
double amount of cache being used, _plus_ the 75MB default backbuffer
will be in use.
Currently, this is perfectly equivalent, because back_size is hardcoded
to buffer_size/2. But this fixes the logic for the case the back_size
can be configured freely.
DVD/BD menu support never worked right, and are a pain to maintain. In
particular, DVD menus never actually worked correctly, because
highlights were not rendered correctly. Fixing this requires major
effort, which I'm not interested to spend.
Most importantly, the requirement to switch streams without losing the
DVD/BD state caused major weirdness in the playback core. It was
implemented by somehow syncing the playback state to the DVD/BD
implementation (in stream_dvdnav.c etc.), and then reloading the demuxer
without destroying and recreating the stream. This caused a bunch of
special-cases which I'm looking forward to remove.
For now, don't just remove everything related to menu support and just
disable it. If someone volunteers, it can be restored (i.e. rewritten)
in a reasonable way. If nobody volunteers soon, it goes.
Normally, the cache keeps 50% of the buffer for seeking backwards. Until
now, the cache just used the full buffer size at the beginning of a
file, because the 50% normally reserved for the backbuffer are unused.
This caused a problem: when streaming from http, the player would first
read about 150MB (default cache size), then stop until 75MB of the cache
has been played. (Until the 75MB position, the cache is fully used, so
nothing new can be read. After that, part of the backbuffer starts
getting unreserved, and can be used for readahead.) This long read pause
can cause the server to terminate the connection. Reconnecting may be
possible, but if youtube-dl is used, the media URL may have become
invalid.
Fix this by limiting readahead to 50% even if unnecessary. The only
exception is when the whole file would fit in the cache. In this case,
it won't matter if we can't reconnect, because the cache covers
everything anyway, and hopefully the cache will stay valid.
Likely fixes#2000.
There is not much of a reason to have these wrappers around. Use POSIX
standard functions directly, and use a separate utility function to take
care of the timespec calculations. (Course POSIX for using this weird
format for time values.)
This code does not know whether the stream supports reconnecting until
STREAM_CTRL_RECONNECT is called. So the message should be printed after
it. To avoid that reconnects that succeed on the first try go unnoticed,
print a warning on success.
An approximate measure to make it exit possibly slightly earlier.
Relatively speaking, some time will pass between cancellation and
the cache actually being requested to exit, so it's good if the
cache returns EOF immediately.
The caller can check for cache interruption instead. There's no need to
define special return values and such. It would be rather hard to make
waiting for the condition and stream cancellation atomic too (and
pointless, since the underlying stream will also be "cancelled" and exit
early), so nothing about cancellation being a separate call will change.
This put some effort into distinguishing between two messages to print -
all worthless. Even more so, this kept printing the message, which
doesn't feel overly useful either. (The message will be printed
repeatedly anyway if network recovers for a while and then gets stuck
again.)
All in all, the demuxer cache triggering the buffering state does a
better job here. But don't remove it completely, since knowing that the
network did nothing for a relatively short time is still useful.
If a directory is encountered, replace it with its contents in the
internal playlist.
This is messed into demux_playlist.c, because why not. STREAMTYPE_DIR
could be avoided by unconditonally trying opendir() in demux_playlist.c,
but it seems nicer not to do weird things like calling it on real files.
This does not work on Windows, because msvcrt is retarded.
The libavformat rtmp protocol's "timeout" option has two problems:
1) Unlike all other protocols, it's in seconds and not microseconds
2) It enables "listen" mode, which breaks playback
Make the --network-timeout do nothing in the rtmp case.
Fixes#1704.
I think this is what I alwass missed ever since I found the MPlayer
cache options: a way to enable the cache on local files with the default
settings, whatever they are.
Seems appropriate, and will probably avoid performance surprises with
scary architectures which don't have trivial implementations for atomic
loads. (Consider that demux_mkv calls this very often now, and
libavformat demuxers and streams did this for a while now.)
This causes the cache to be enabled with --cache=auto. It was not done
previously because the small cache size 320k actually led to worse
performance. However, with the current default cache size of 25000kb,
caching notably improves performance.
If we're caching a stream with unknown size, and we reach EOF, then
consider the EOF position the file size. Typically makes sense when
reading from a pipe or a http connection that did not send a size.
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.
It is also used for initialization in channel-list setup.
Should fix compilation on FreeBSD, and is more correct
since it is used unconditionally.
Reverts 6445648 .
Refactors an older hack, which for some reason used a more complicated
way. This generates the playlist representing the contents of the rar
file in demux_playlist.c. The pseudo-demuxer could easily be separate
from the the playlist parsers (and in fact there's almost no shared
code), but I don't think this obscure feature deserves a separate file.
Sample files created with:
rar a -v20000k -m0 files.rar file1.mkv file1.mkv
This message will be printed relatively often once EOF is reached. In
some cases this is rather annoying, for example when playing HLS. (With
HLS, the stream is just a playlist file, while libavformat opens actual
media files without mpv's knowledge, so the cache is completely useless
and hits EOF instantly.)
That it retries reading is apparently a good thing: at least local files
can grow, and even after the player got the EOF, playback _could_ be
resumed by basically polling and detecting that there is more data. So
I'm not changing this behavior yet.
Most things stopped using this field for better support of growing
files. Go through the trouble to repalce the remaining uses, so it can
be removed.
Also move the "streaming" field; saves 4 bytes (wow!).
Fix return types and return values to make them more consistent. Some
reformatting and making code more concise.
In stream_reconnect(), avoid the additional mp_cancel_test() call by
moving the "connection lost" message below the mp_cancel_wait() call,
which effectively leads to the same behavior when the stream was already
canceled. (The goal is not to show the message in this case.)
Merge stream_seek_long() into stream_seek(). It was the only caller.
Always clear the eof flag on seeks.
Reduce access to stream internals in cache.c and stream_lavf.c.
Looks like a bunch of off-by-one errors.
The track number was mistakenly offset by 1 - this shifted all chapters
by one, and make the first chapter start on the second track (so the
"chapter" property returned -1 in the first track since it was before
the first chapter).
Also, the calculation of the sector destination was messed up. This
comes from commit 32d818f0, where I apparently attempted to calculate
the position to one byte before the section, but unfortunately math
doesn't work this way and it was nonsense. Just drop this idea; while it
may help with seeking (probably...), it also returns slightly different
times. The user shall use hr-seeks if accurate seeking is required.
Hopefully fixes#1560.
