...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 immediate mode (which is the default) uses a tiny ringbuffer and
doesn't grab timestamps. This leads to quite bad behavior due to the
fact that there's an additional buffer between playloop and TV code (the
demuxer thread, which doesn't exist in MPlayer).
Always grab the timestamps and use a decently-sized buffer. I still have
no clue what I'm doing, and hacked it until it appeared to work. Report
regressions if you experience any.
I can't believe how shitty this (MPlayer-derived) code is. Maybe it
should be fixed or be replaced with using libavdevice, but that doesn't
seem worth the effort.
Anyway, for now reduce the time it's blocking to wait for new frames
from 10ms to 1ms, because 10ms might be a bit too tight: it could
deliver the frame up to 10ms late - now it's only up to 1ms. (And yes,
it does that instead of using condition variables. It also abuses
volatile variables as atomics. It's hilarious.)
Until now, the audio chain could handle both little endian and big
endian formats. This actually doesn't make much sense, since the audio
API and the HW will most likely prefer native formats. Or at the very
least, it should be trivial for audio drivers to do the byte swapping
themselves.
From now on, the audio chain contains native-endian formats only. All
AOs and some filters are adjusted. af_convertsignendian.c is now wrongly
named, but the filter name is adjusted. In some cases, the audio
infrastructure was reused on the demuxer side, but that is relatively
easy to rectify.
This is a quite intrusive and radical change. It's possible that it will
break some things (especially if they're obscure or not Linux), so watch
out for regressions. It's probably still better to do it the bulldozer
way, since slow transition and researching foreign platforms would take
a lot of time and effort.
Well, not sure if this really improves anything, but at least it's less
of a WTF to the playback core than always returning the same timestamp
for every frame.
There's really no need to convert this to float and then back. This is
mostly of cosmetic nature, double precision was probably enough to avoid
rounding.
Not sure how this symbol becomes visible in glibc (probably accidental
or mandatory recursive inclusion via the other standard or Linux-
specific headers), but normally this include file is needed to get the
symbol.
Squashed from the following mplayer-svn commits. The '#' is removed from
the bug ID to prevent github from doing something stupid. Instead of
adding the mplayer configure check for clock_gettime(), the POSIX
identifiers are used for checking presence of the function.

Pretty much nothing changes, but using -tv-scan with suboptions doesn't
work anymore (instead of "-tv-scan x" it's "-tv scan-x" now). Flat
options ("-tv-scan-x") stay compatible.
This call was used limited the buffer size if installed RAM was below 16
MB. This stopped being useful a decade ago. The check could also
overflow on 32 bit systems. Just get rid of it.
I hate tabs.
This replaces all tabs in all source files with spaces. The only
exception is old-makefile. The replacement was made by running the
GNU coreutils "expand" command on every file. Since the replacement was
automatic, it's possible that some formatting was destroyed (but perhaps
only if it was assuming that the end of a tab does not correspond to
aligning the end to multiples of 8 spaces).
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.
The tmsg stuff was for the internal gettext() based translation system,
which nobody ever attempted to use and thus was removed. mp_gtext() and
set_osd_tmsg() were also for this.
mp_dbg was once enabled in debug mode only, but since we have log level
for enabling debug messages, it seems utterly useless.
This used to be needed for teletext support. Teletext commit has been
removed (see commit ebaaa41f), and it appears this code is inactive.
It was just forgotten with the removal. Get rid of it completely.
Untested. (Like all changes to the TV code.)

Significant modifications over the original patch by not overriding
syscalls with macros ("#define open v4l2open") for fallback, but the
other way around ("#define v4l2open open"). As consequence, the calls
have to be replaced throughout the file.
Untested, although the original patch probably was tested.
Apparently this is not portable to FreeBSD. It turns out that we
(probably) don't use any symbols defined by this header directly, so
the includes are not needed.
This member was redundant. sh_audio->sample_format indicates the sample
size already.
The TV code is a bit strange: the redundant sample size was part of the
internal TV interface. Assume it's really redundant and not something
else. The PCM decoder ignores the sample size anyway.
The configure followed 5 different convetions of defines because the next guy
always wanted to introduce a new better way to uniform it[1]. For an
hypothetic feature 'hurr' you could have had:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #undef CONFIG_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #define HAVE_DURR 0
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #define CONFIG_DURR 0
All is now uniform and uses:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1
* #define HAVE_DURR 0
We like definining to 0 as opposed to `undef` bcause it can help spot typos
and is very helpful when doing big reorganizations in the code.

In general, this warning can hint to actual bugs. We don't enable it
yet, because it would conflict with some unmerged code, and we should
check with clang too (this commit was done by testing with gcc).
These were found by the cppcheck and scan-build static analyzers. Most
of these aren't interesting (the 2 previous commits fix some interesting
cases found by these analyzers), and they don't nearly fix all warnings.
(Most of the unfixed warnings are spam, things MPlayer never cared
about, or false positives.)
mplayer's video chain traditionally used FourCCs for pixel formats. For
example, it used IMGFMT_YV12 for 4:2:0 YUV, which was defined to the
string 'YV12' interpreted as unsigned int. Additionally, it used to
encode information into the numeric values of some formats. The RGB
formats had their bit depth and endian encoded into the least
significant byte. Extended planar formats (420P10 etc.) had chroma
shift, endian, and component bit depth encoded. (This has been removed
in recent commits.)
Replace the FourCC mess with a simple enum. Remove all the redundant
formats like YV12/I420/IYUV. Replace some image format names by
something more intuitive, most importantly IMGFMT_YV12 -> IMGFMT_420P.
Add img_fourcc.h, which contains the old IDs for code that actually uses
FourCCs. Change the way demuxers, that output raw video, identify the
video format: they set either MP_FOURCC_RAWVIDEO or MP_FOURCC_IMGFMT to
request the rawvideo decoder, and sh_video->imgfmt specifies the pixel
format. Like the previous hack, this is supposed to avoid the need for
a complete codecs.cfg entry per format, or other lookup tables. (Note
that the RGB raw video FourCCs mostly rely on ffmpeg's mappings for NUT
raw video, but this is still considered better than adding a raw video
decoder - even if trivial, it would be full of annoying lookup tables.)
The TV code has not been tested.
Some corrective changes regarding endian and other image format flags
creep in.
Finish renaming directories and moving files. Adjust all include
statements to make the previous commit compile.
The two commits are separate, because git is bad at tracking renames
and content changes at the same time.
Also take this as an opportunity to remove the separation between
"common" and "mplayer" sources in the Makefile. ("common" used to be
shared between mplayer and mencoder.)
af_format.h declares some symbols which are defined in format.c. The
fact that af_format.c is a completely unrelated file is rather
confusing. Having the header and implementation file use the same base
name is more uniform. (af_format.c is the audio conversion filter, while
af_format.h and format.c are about audio formats and their properties.)
Also fix all source files which include this file.
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.
Do a proper calculation of free RAM to be used as V4L buffers.
The code uses sysinfo to query the available RAM, however it used
ancient form available in some early development 2.3.x kernels.
Newer form reports the size in memory units (usually same as page size),
as result the code would fall back on 2 buffers even on multi GB system.
The commit does: Improve the check in configure to ensure that we
do use sysinfo struct with present mem_unit. Use free RAM instead of
total RAM (to avoid swapping). Tweak memory constants and simplify code.

Note that the code is still questionable after this commit - the
shared data structure has pointers to "struct priv", but different
files use different incompatible definitions for that struct.
DVB teletext support is nearly finished, it will be possible to read
teletext from file, it will not be depending on reception any more.
