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.
Somehow the new parser ends up much smaller. Much of it is because we
don't parse some additional information. We just skip it, instead of
parsing it and then throwing it away.
More importantly, we use the physical order of entries, instead of
trying to sort them by entry number. Each "File" entry is followed by a
number that is supposed to be the entry number, and "File1" is first.
(Should it turn out that this is really needed, an additional field
should be added to playlist_entry, and then qsort().)
Make TOOLS/matroska.pl output structs with fields sorted by name in
ebml_types.h to make the order of fields deterministic. Fix warnings in
demux_mkv.c caused by the first struct fields switching between scalar
and struct types due to non-deterministic ebml_types.h field order.
Since it's deterministic now, this shouldn't change anymore.
The warnings produced by the compilers are bogus, but we want to silence
them anyway, since this could make developers overlook legitimate
warnings.
What commits 7b52ba8, 6dd97cc, 4aae1ff were supposed to fix. An earlier
attempt sorted fields in the generated C source file, not the header
file. Hopefully this is the last commit concerning this issue...
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.

Instead of having each demuxer do it (only demux_mkv actually did...),
let generic code determine whether the file is seekable. This requires
adding exceptions to demuxers where the stream is not seekable, but the
demuxer is.
Sort-of try to improve handling of unseekable files in the player. Exit
early if the file is determined to be unseekable, instead of resetting
all decoders and then performing a pointless seek.
Add an exception to allow seeking if the file is not seekable, but the
stream cache is enabled. Print a warning in this case, because seeking
outside the cache (which we can't prevent since the demuxer is not aware
of this problem) still messes everything up.
Pointless, using stream->start_pos/end_pos instead.
demux_mf was the only place where this was used specially, but we can
rely on timestamps instead for this case.
There are some Microsoft Windows symbols which are traditionally used by
the mplayer core, because it used to be convenient (avi was the big
format, using binary windows decoders made sense...). So these symbols
have the exact same definition as the Windows one, and if mplayer is
compiled on Windows, the symbols from windows.h are used.
This broke recently just because some files were shuffled around, and
the symbols defined in ms_hdr.h collided with windows.h ones. Since we
don't have windows binary decoders anymore, there's not the slightest
reason our symbols should have the same names. Rename them to reduce the
risk for collision, and to fix the recent regression.
Drop WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE, because it's mostly unused. ao_dsound defines
its own version if the windows headers don't define it, and ao_wasapi is
not available on systems where this symbol is missing.
Also reindent ms_hdr.h.
Now that matroska.pl generates struct fields in deterministic order,
this should be the last time I change this.
(gcc and clang shouldn't warn about this line of code, but since they
do, we want to workaround and silence the warning anyway.)
Unfortunately, we can't avoid this warning 100%, because ebml_info is
written by a Perl script. I think the script writes the struct fields in
random order (thanks Perl), so there's no way to know whether the first
struct field is a scalar or a struct.
At least {0} is always valid here, even if it shows a warning. (The
compilers are wrong, see e.g. [1].)

This one really did bite me hard (see previous commit), so enable it by
default.
Fix some cases of shadowing throughout the codebase. None of these
change behavior, and all of these were correct code, and just tripped up
the warning.
gcc and clang happen to allow {} to default-initialize a struct, but
strictly speaking, C99 requires at least {0}. In one case, we use {{0}},
but that's only because gcc as well as clang are too damn stupid not
to warn about {0}, which is a perfectly valid construct in this case.
(Sure is funny, don't warn about the non-standard case, but warn about
another standard conform case.)
Leaving these braces away just because the syntax allows them is really
obnoxious. It removes the visual cues which help understanding the code
at the first look.
For the record,
if (cond)
something();
is ok, as long as there's no else branch, and the if body is one
physical line. But everything else should have braces.
This was probably not a real problem. But it's not entirely clear
whether this could actually happen or not, so it's better to be
defensive. The code is now also somewhat easier to understand.
This adds support for ChapterSegmentEditionUID (pull request #258),
and also fixes issue #278 (pull request #292).
In fact, this is a straight merge of pr/292, which also contains pr/258.
Note that you still need --vd-lavc-o='strict=-2' to enable the decoder.
Also, there's no guarantee that all required features for HEVC demuxing
are actually implemented, nor that the current muxing schema is the
final one.
Change talloc destructor so that they can never signal failure, and
don't return a status code. This makes our talloc copy even more
incompatible to upstream talloc, but on the other hand this is
preparation for getting rid of talloc entirely.
(The talloc replacement in the next commit won't allow the talloc_free
equivalent to fail, and the destructor return value would be useless.
But I don't want to change any mpv code either; the idea is that the
talloc replacement commit can be reverted for some time in order to
test whether the talloc replacement introduced a regression.)
To support edition references in matroska chapters, editions need to be
remembered for each chapter and source. To facilitate easier management
of these now-paired uids, a single structure is used.
There is uninitialized memory access if the actual size isn't passed
along. In the worst case, this can cause a source to be loaded against
the uninitialized memory, causing a false count of found versus required
sources, preventing the "Failed to find ordered chapter part" message.
By default, libavformat uses UDP for rtsp playback. This doesn't work
very well. Apparently the reason is that the buffer sizes libavformat
chooses for UDP are way too small, and switching to TCP gets rid of this
issue entirely (thanks go to Reimar Döffinger for figuring this out).
In theory, you can set buffer sizes as libavformat options, but that
doesn't seem to help.
Add an option to select the rtsp transport, and make TCP the default.
Also remove an outdated comment from stream.c.
In insane files with a very huge number of subtitle events, and if the
--demuxer-mkv-subtitle-preroll option is given, seeking can still
overflow the packet queue. Normally, the subtitle_preroll variable
specifies the maximum number of packets that can be added. But once this
number is reached, the normal seeking behavior is enabled, which will
add all subtitle packets with the right timestamps to the packet queue.
At this point the next video keyframe can still be quite far away, with
enough subtitle packets on the way to overflow the packet queue.
Fix this by always setting an upper limit of subtitle packets read
during seeking. This should provide additional robustness even if the
preroll option is not used.
This means that even with normal seeking, at most 500 subtitle packets
are demuxed. Packets after that are discarded.
One slightly questionable aspect of this commit is that subtitle_preroll
is never reset in audio-only mode, but that is probably ok.
The quicktime html scripting guide suggests to wrap urls not
necesarly associated with quicktime in a .mov file.
(so that when <embed>ing videos quicktime would be forced.)
These mov files may contain several "Text Hacks".
One of these is RTSPtext.
The suggested/allowed format (as regex) is like:
RTSPtext[ \r]RTSP://url
See also p.51 of:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QTScripting_HTML/QTScripting_HTML.pdf
In reality there are also files like (e.g. zdfmediathek.de):
RTSPtext\nrtsp://url\n\n
Lets handle these files as a playlist with one element.
The --deinterlace option does on playback start what the "deinterlace"
property normally does at runtime. You could do this before by using the
--vf option or by messing with the vo_vdpau default options, but this
new option is supposed to be a "foolproof" way.
The main motivation for adding this is so that the deinterlace property
can be restored when using the video resume functionality
(quit_watch_later command).
Implementation-wise, this is a bit messy. The video chain is rebuilt in
mpcodecs_reconfig_vo(), where we don't have access to MPContext, so the
usual mechanism for enabling deinterlacing can't be used. Further,
mpcodecs_reconfig_vo() is called by the video decoder, which doesn't
have access to MPContext either. Moving this call to mplayer.c isn't
currently possible either (see below). So we just do this before frames
are filtered, which potentially means setting the deinterlacing every
frame. Fortunately, setting deinterlacing is stable and idempotent, so
this is hopefully not a problem. We also add a counter that is
incremented on each reconfig to reduce the amount of additional work per
frame to nearly zero.
The reason we can't move mpcodecs_reconfig_vo() to mplayer.c is because
of hardware decoding: we need to check whether the video chain works
before we decide that we can use hardware decoding. Changing it so that
this can be decided in advance without building a filter chain sounds
like a good idea and should be done, but we aren't there yet.
Retrieve per-chapter metadata, but don't do much with it. We just make
the metadata of the _current_ chapter available as chapter-metadata
property. Returning the full chapter list with metadata would be no
problem, except that the property interface isn't really good with
structured data, so it's not available for now.
Not sure if it's worth it, but it was requested via github issue #201.
Consider the cluster used for prerolling contains an insane amount of
subtitle packets. Then the demuxer packet queue would be full of
subtitle packets, and demux.c would refuse to read any further packets -
including video and audio packets, resulting in EOF. Since everything
involving Matroska and subtitles is 100% insane, this can actually
happen.
Fix this by putting a limit on the number of subtitle packets read by
preroll, and throw away any further packets if the limit is exceeded. If
this happens, the preroll mechanism will stop working, but the player's
operation is unaffected otherwise.
The really funny thing about this commit is that this code is added on
top of another work around. Basically, subtitle seeking in libavformat
is completely broken. To make it useful, we have to add yet another
workaround.
The basic problem is that libavformat's subtitle seeking code always
uses the stream time base, instead of AV_TIME_BASE if stream index -1 is
passed to the avformat_seek_file() function.
Fixes github issue #216. Hopefully this will be fixed in ffmpeg too at
some point.
Port it from playlist_parser.c to demux_playlist.c. Also, change the m3u
parser to drop whitespace from the trailing part of the line (will make
it work properly with windows line endings).
(I hoped that this would make MMS URIs with http instead of mmsh
prefixes work, but it doesn't. Instead, it leads to a playlist loop. So
solving this issue would require a change in ffmpeg, probably.)
Apparently, it is popular to store large files in uncompressed rar
archives. Extracting files is not practical, and some media players
suport playing directly from uncompressed rar (at least VLC and some
DirectShow components).
Storing or accessing files this way is completely idiotic, but it is
a common practice, and the ones subjected to this practice can't do
much to change this (at least that's what I assume/hope). Also, it's
a feature request, so we say yes.
This code is mostly taken from VLC (commit f6e7240 from their git tree).
We also copy the way this is done: opening a rar file by itself yields
a playlist, which contains URLs to the actual entries in the rar file.
Compressed entries are simply skipped.
Modeled after the old playlist_parser.c, but actually new code, and it
works a bit differently.
Demuxers (and sometimes streams) are the component that should be used
to open files and to determine the file format. This was already done
for subtitles, but playlists still use a separate code path.
The way this was added to FFmpeg is less than ideal, because it requires
text parsing in the Matroska demuxer. But in order to use the FFmpeg
webvtt-to-ass converter, we still have to mimic this in some way. We do
this by putting the parsing into sd_lavc_conv.c, before the subtitle
packet is passed to libavcodec. At least this keeps the ugliness out of
unrelated code.
There is some change that FFmpeg will fix their design eventually.
Instead of rewriting the parsing code, we simply borrow it from FFmpeg's
Matroska demuxer.
Otherwise, this would just try to demux a good chunk of the file, even
though the operation can't succeed anyway.
This caused some pretty strange issues, where perfectly valid use cases
would print a "Too many packets in the demuxer packet queue..." message.
The rawaudio demuxer read one frame per packet, basically a few bytes,
which caused insane overhead. (I found this when I couldn't play raw
audio without dropouts when using -v, which printed a line per packet
read.)
Fix this and read 1 second of audio per packet. This is a regression
since cfa5712 (merging of demux_rawaudio and demux_rawvideo).
Originally, the objective of this commit was changing --edition to be
1-based, but this was cancelled. I'm still leaving the change to
demux_mkv.c though, which is now only of cosmetic nature.
This is completely useless, and in this particular case, it broke the
fallback for MLP2 subtitles (stored as .txt files) to demux_subreader.
(Yes, libavformat should be fixed to handle this, but for now this will
_always_ break playback of subtitle files stored in .txt.)
You can still force this demuxer, but by default we will just pretend
that the "tty" demuxer does not exist.
Perhaps not very useful, but reserved for situations when a user reports
awful latency and experimentation/debugging might be required to find
out why or to fix it (happens often).
avio_alloc_context() is documented to require an av_malloc'ed buffer. It
appears libavformat can even reallocate the buffer while it is probing,
so passing a static buffer can in theory lead to crashes.
I couldn't reproduce such a crash, but apparently it happened to
mplayer-svn. This commit follows the mplayer fix in svn commit r36397.
