This does two separate rather intrusive things:
1. Make the hwdec context (which does initialization, provides the
device to the decoder, and other basic state) and frame mapping
(getting textures from a mp_image) separate. This is more
flexible, and you could map multiple images at once. It will
help removing some hwdec special-casing from video.c.
2. Switch all hwdec API use to ra. Of course all code is still
GL specific, but in theory it would be possible to support other
backends. The most important change is that the hwdec interop
returns ra objects, instead of anything GL specific. This removes
the last dependency on GL-specific header files from video.c.
I'm mixing these separate changes because both requires essentially
rewriting all the glue code, so better do them at once. For the same
reason, this change isn't done incrementally.
hwdec_ios.m is untested, since I can't test it. Apart from superficial
mistakes, this also requires dealing with Apple's texture format
fuckups: they force you to use GL_LUMINANCE[_ALPHA] instead of GL_RED
and GL_RG. We also need to report the correct format via ra_tex to
the renderer, which is done by find_la_variant(). It's unknown whether
this works correctly.
hwdec_rpi.c as well as vo_rpi.c are still broken. (I need to pull my
RPI out of a dusty pile of devices and cables, so, later.)
This is really obnoxious. --include parses into the default profile, but
when used on the command line, it did never get applied. So we have to
apply it when the exact conditions for this are met.
Fixes#4673.
Remove this code because it could be argued that it contains GPL-only
code (see commit 642e963c86 for details).
The remaining aspect methods appear to work just as well, are
potentially more compatible to other players, and the code becomes much
simpler.
HOME isn't set by default on Windows. But if the user does set it,
prefer it by default.
Enables stuff like --log-file=~/mpv.log to work, even if HOME isn't set.
This is more confusing than it helps, and forces escaping more stuff.
For example, for string lists we could remove all need for escaling with
-add and -pre.
The user can simply use multiple of those options.
Remove the various redundant m_config_set_option* calls, rename the
remaining one to m_config_set_option_cli(), and merge the
m_config_parse_option() function.
This partially reverts the change from a longer time ago to always build
DXVA2 and D3D11VA together.
To make it simpler, we change the following:
- building with ANGLE headers is now required to build D3D hwaccels
- if DXVA2 is enabled, D3D11VA is still forcibly built
- the CLI vo_opengl ANGLE backend is now under --egl-angle-win32
This is done to reduce the dependency mess slightly.
The changes to path list options is basically getting rid of the need to
pass multiple paths to a single option. Instead, you can use the option
multiple times. The old behavior can be used by using the -set suffix
with the option.
Change some options to path lists. For example --script is now append by
default, and if you use --script-set, you need to use ":"/";" as
separator instead of ",".
--sub-paths/--audio-file-paths is a deprecated alias now, and will break
if the user tries to pass multiple paths to it. I'm assuming that if
these are used, most users will pass only 1 path anyway.
--opengl-shaders has more compatibility handling, since it's probably
rather common that users pass multiple options to it.
Also document all that in the manpage.
I'll probably regret this later, as it somewhat increases the complexity
of the option parser, rather than increasing it.
I noticed that the previous default, bitstream, actually breaks with
some shitty anamorphic DVD rips that signal square pixel aspect in the
bitstream. So I think the "container" method is a better default.
In a bunch of cases, we emulate highly platform specific APIs on a
higher level across all OSes, such as IPC, terminal, subprocess
handling, and more. We have source files for each OS, and they implement
all the same mpv internal API.
Selecting which source file to use on an OS can be tricky, because there
is partially overlapping and emulated APIs (consider Cygwin on Windows).
Add a pick_first_matching_dep() function to make this slightly easier
and more structured.
Also add dummy backends in some cases, to deal with APIs not being
available.
Clarify the Windows dependency identifiers, as these are the most
confusing.
There is no technical need for this, but it's nicer if --list-options
appears to output them sorted (it only actually sorts the actual option
list, while actions are output in the order they are defined).
This means you can use --sub-file-set=a,b,c to set a string list
separated by ',', while --sub-file=filename,with,commas.srt still works
(the original motivation for changing the --sub-file option this way).
You can also use it to append strings to string list options without the
need for escale, e.g.: --opengl-shaders-add-str=unescapesdfilename.glsl
(The normal -add for some reason expects a ',' separated list as
argument.)
These are not "really" separate actions, but on the command line they're
obserable as such. So it would be a good idea to list them too.
Adds about 117 options (holy fuck).
This affects options like --vf or --display-tags. These used a "*"
suffix to match all options starting with a specific name, and handled
the rest in the option parser. Change this to remove the "*" special
case, and require every option parser to declare a list of allowed
suffixes via m_option_type.actions.
The new way is conceptually simpler, because we don't have to account
for the "*" in a bunch of places anymore, and instead everything is
centrally handled in the CLI part of the option parser, where it's
actually needed.
It automatically enables suffixes like -add for a bunch of other
stringlist options.
You could do mpv_set_option(h, "no-fs", ""), which would behave like
"--no-fs" on the command line. At one point, this had to be emulated for
compatibility, and printed a deprecation warning. This was almost a year
ago, so remove it.
This was an annoying option type. And still is. But at least it's on the
same level as m_option_type_print_fn now, and can probably cleaned up
further like it. Both types are for options that are only on the command
line, always have special handling (i.e. do something with them in
parse_commandline.c before passing them to the generic
m_config.c/m_option.c layers), and are m_options only for --list-options
and (oddly) the split_opt_silent() function.
This was especially grating because it causes problems with the
option/property unification, uses as only thing OPT_FLAG_STORE, and
behaves weird with the client API or scripts.
It can be reimplemented in a much simpler way, although it needs
slightly more code. (Simpler because less special cases.)
These files have all in common that they were fully or mostly taken from
mplayer.c. (mplayer.c was a huge file that contains almost all of the
playback core, until it was split into multiple parts.) This was
probably the hardest part to relicense, because so much code was moved
around all the time.
player/audio.c still does not compile. We'll have to redo audio
filtering. Once that is done, we can probably actually provide an
actual LGPL configure switch.
Here is a relatively detailed list of potential issues:
8d190244: author did not reply, parts were made GPL-only in a previous
commit.
7882ea9b: author could not be reached, but the code is gone. wscript
still has --datadir switch, but I don't think this is relevant to
copyright.
f197efd5: unclear origin, but I consider the code gone anyway (replaced
with generic OSD mechanisms).
8337d9c2: author did not reply, but only the option still exists (under
a different name), other code was removed.
d8fd7131: did not reply. Disabled in a previous commit.
05258251: same author as above. Both fields actually seem to have
vanished (even when tracking renames), so no action taken.
d459e644, 268b2c1a: author did not reply, but we reuse only the options
(with different names and slightly or fully different semantics, and
completely different implementations), so I don't think this is relevant
for copyright.
09e742fe, 17c39c4e: same as above.
e8a173de, bff4b3ee: author could not be reached. The commands were
reworked to properties, and the code outside of the TV code were moved
back to the TV code. So I don't think copyright applies to the current
command.c parts (mp_property_tv_color, mp_property_tv_freq,
mp_property_tv_scan). The TV parts remain GPL.
0810e427: could not be reached. Disabled in a previous commit.
43744a2d: unknown author, but this was replaced by dynamic alloc (if the
change is even copyrightable).
116ca0c7: unknown author; reasoning see input.c relicensing commit.
e7e4d1d8: these semantics still exist, but as generic code, and this
code was fully removed.
f1175cd9: the author of the cited patch is unknown, and upon inspection
it turns out that I was only using the idea to pause the player on EOF,
so I claim it's not copyright relevant.
25affdcc: author could not be reached (yet) - but it's only a function
rename, not copyrightable.
5728504c was committed by Arpi (who agreed), but hints that it might be
by a different author. In fact it seems to be mostly this patch:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2001-November/002041.html
The author did not respond, but it all seems to have been removed later.
It's a terrible mess though. Arpi reverted the A-V sync code at first,
but left the RTC code for a while. The following commits remove these
changes 100%: 14b35442, 7181a091, 31482783, 614f8475, df58e822.
cehoyos did explicitly not agree to LGPL, but was involved in the
following changes:
c99d8fc8: applied a patch and didn't modify it, the original author
agreed.
40ac0d31: author could not be reached, but all code is gone anyway. The
"af" command has a similar function, but works completely different and
actually reuses a mechanism older than this patch.
54350436: applied a patch, but didn't modify it, except for adding a
German translation, which was removed later.
a2dda036: same situation as above
240b743e: this was made GPL-only in a previous commit
7b25afd7: same as above (for now)
kirijua could not be reached, but was a regular patch contributor:
c2c997fd: video equalizer code move; probably not copyrightable. Is GPL
due to Nick anyway.
be54f481: technically, this became the audio track property later. But
all what is left is the fact that you pass a track ID to it, so consider
the original coypright non-relevant.
2f376d1b: this was rewritten in b7052b43, but for now we can afford to
be careful, so this was marked as GPL only in a previous commit.
43844d09: remaining parts in main.c were reverted in a previous commit.
anders has mostly disagreed with the LGPL relicensing. Does not want
libaf to become LGPL, but made some concessions. In particular, he
granted us permission to relicense 4943e9c52c and 242aa6ebd4. We also
consider some of his changes remaining in mpv not relevant for copyright
(such as 735de602 - we won't remove the this option completely). We will
completely remove his other contributions, including the entire audio
filter chain. For now, this stuff is marked as GPL only. The remaining
question is how much code in player/audio.c (based on the former
mplayer.c and dec_audio.c) is under his copyright. I made claims about
this in a previous commit.
Nick(ols) Kurshev, svn username "nick" and "nickols_k", could not be
reached. He had a lot of changes in early MPlayer. It seems all of that
was removed, at least in mpv. His main work, like VIDIX or libswscale
work, does not exist in mpv anymore, but the changes to mplayer.c and
other core parts still deserve attention:
a4119f6b, fb927549, ad3529b8, e11b23dc, 5f2178be, 93c371d5: removed in
b43d67e0, d1628d12, 24ed01fe, df58e822.
0a83c6ec, 104c125e, 4e067f62, aec5dcc8, b587a3d6, f3de6e6b: DR, VAA, and
"tune" stuff was fully removed later on or replaced with other
mechanisms.
340183b0: screenshots were redone later (the VOCTRL was even removed,
with an independent implementation using the same VOCTRL a few years
later), so not relevant anymore. Basically only the 's' shortcut remains
(but not its implementation).
92c5c274, bffd4007, 555c6766: for now marked as GPL only in a previous
commit.
Might contain some trace amounts of "michael"'s copyright, who agreed to
LGPL only once the core is relicensed. This will still be respected, but
I don't think it matters at this in this case. (Some code touched by him
was merged into mplayer.c, and then disappeared after heavy
refactoring.)
I tried to be as careful and as complete as possible. It can't be
excluded that amends to this will be made later.
This does not make the player LGPL yet.
Commit d8fd7131 changes this. "tibcu" did not reply. While I'm not sure
whether copyrightable code remains, I'd tend towards saying yes (the
basic idea is still intact after years of refactoring), so make it
GPL-only for now.
Nick and kiriuja could not be reached, and created/changed this in
92c5c274, 6441a5ad, bffd4007, 555c6766, c2c997fd. The video equalizer
stuff was redone fully later, but there are still parts that look too
similar and basically use the same approach. I'm more comfortable with
declaring it GPL only for now.
I plan to redo them later in a way that will remove copyright.
cehoyos, who did not agree to the LGPL relicensing, added this in commit
240b743e. The actual implementation of it is already guarded with
HAVE_GPL. The field_dominance field in the option struct won't be
guarded.
We won't keep GPL-only core code forever, so deprecate it as well. To
apply forced deinterlacing, a libavfilter filter can probably be
removed, or we merge this functionality into the --deinterlace option
(without using copyrighted stuff).
If they are copyrightable, iive's changes (commits listed in cache.c)
would make them LGPL 3+. To avoid that options.c becoming LGPL 3, move
the option declarations to cache.c. struct mp_cache_opts is still in
options.h, but we consider that irrelevant, and options.h will become
LGPL 2.1+ later.
This reverts commit e30fe38a21.
The original author as well as the author from d568eaa2 agreed to LGPL
now. The only one missing is 0842caf6 (Henk could not be reached, and
that will probably stay this way).
When I discussed this with someone else who knows a lot about copyright
(j-b), the conclusion was that the rewrite was actually enough to
remove all past copyright. Only the syntax and the option name remained
the same, but code, code structure, and architecture all changed
radically. So I'm content with dropping the GPL part.
(m_option.c is still formally GPL due to the special agreement with
michael, but once this is fullfilled, we will change the license to
LGPL without further checks.)
In commit eb22569ff0, I claimed that the geometry parsing code was
rewritten. But I'm not sure if it's rewritten enough, or if copyright
claims could still be made. Given that the original code was
self-contained, and could be considered a separate work, it's probably
safer (and more up to the standards applied to this relicensing) to
leave this as GPL code.
The rewrite/code move can be seen with: git diff f2dcdca...ccaed5e
"Almost" because this might contain copyright by michael, who agreed
with LGPL, but only once the core is LGPL. This is preparation for that
to happen.
Apart from that, the usual remarks apply. In particular, dec_video.c
started out quite chaotic with no modularization, but was later
basically gutted, and in general rewritten a bunch of times. Not going
to give a history lesson.
Special attention needs to be given to 3 patches by cehosos, who did not
agree to the relicensing:
240b743ebd: --field-dominance
e32cbbf7dc: reinit VO if aspect ratio changes
306f6243fd: use container aspect if codec aspect unset (?)
The first patch is pretty clearly still in the current code, and needs
to be disabled for LGPL.
The functionality of the second patch is still active, but implemented
completely different, and as part of general frame parameter changes (at
the time of the patch, MPlayer already reinitialized the VO on frame
size and pixel format changes - all this was merged into a single check
for changing image parameters).
The third patch makes me a bit more uncomfortable. It appears the code
was moved to dec_video.c in de68b8f23c, and further changed in
82f0d373, 0a0bb905, and bf13bd0d. You could claim that cehoyos'
copyright still sticks. Fortunately, we implement alternative aspect
detection, which is simpler and probably preferable, and which arguably
contains none of the original code and logic, and thus should be fully
safe.
While I don't know if cehoyos' copyright actually still applies, I'm
more comfortable with making the code GPL-only for now. Also change the
default to use the (in future) plain LGPL code, and deprecate the one
associated with the GPL code, so we can eventually remove the GPL code.
But it's also possible we decide that the copyright doesn't apply, and
undo the deprecation and GPL guards.
I expect that users won't notice anything. If you ask me, the old aspect
method was probably an accidental bug instead of intentional behavior.
Although, the new aspect method was broken too, so I had to fix it.
The option->property bridge can't (and shouldn't) preserve option flags.
This is a problem if the flags are actually used by the option
implementation, beyond calling m_config_mark_co_flags().
This was true so far, but b8193e4071 changed this. Now setting the
--profile option (usually from a config file or as recursive profile)
can have side-effects that depend on the flags contents. Solve this by
avoiding going through the "double bridge" altogether.
This fixes a regression if an auto-profile is active, and the user
specifies an option on the command line that is supposed to override an
item in a profile recursively referenced by the auto-profile. The
command line option will not override it, because the auto-profile is
set later, and during application of the auto-profile, the
M_SETOPT_PRESERVE_CMDLINE flag gets lost.
Having to add something to m_property is not nice, and I'll probbaly
regret later. On the other hand, there is a chance that this helps
towards true option/property unification.
Before this, options with co->data==NULL (i.e. no storage) were not
added to the bridge (except alias options). There are a few options
which might make sense to allow via the bridge ("profile" and
"include"). So allow them.
In command_init(), we merely remove the co->data check, the rest of the
diff is due to switching the if/else branches for convenience.
We also must explicitly error on M_PROPERTY_GET if co->data==NULL. All
other cases check it in some way.
Explicitly exclude options from the property bridge, which would be
added due this, and the result would be pointless.
Certain options, such as --profile, --help, and many others require
special-handling, because they don't fit conceptually into the option
and property model. They don't store data, but perform actions.
This caused the situation that profiles could not be set when using
libmpv in encoding mode (although you should probably not used libmpv in
encoding mode). Using libmpv always ends up in calling
m_config_set_option_raw_direct(), while --profile was handled in
m_config_parse_option().
Solve this by moving the handling of this from m_config_parse_option()
to m_config_set_option_raw_direct(). Actually we just stuff most of this
into m_config_handle_special_options(), which is only called by the
aforementioned function.
Strangely this also means that the --h/--help option declarations need
to be changed, because they used OPT_PRINT, and now the option "parser"
is always invoked before the special code. Thus, make them a string.
Them being OPT_PRINT was apparently always redundant. (The other option
declarations are moved for cosmetic purposes only.)
The most weird change is how co->data==NULL is handled. We now allow
passing down involved options to m_config_set_option_raw_direct(). The
thing is that we don't want them to error if the command line parser is
using them (with special handling done there), while all other code
paths should raise an error. We try using M_SETOPT_FROM_CMDLINE to
distinguish these cases.
Note that normal libmpv users are supposed to use the "apply-profile"
command instead.
This probably contains a bunch of bugs, which you should report.
Implements JS with almost identical API to the Lua support.
Key differences from Lua:
- The global mp, mp.msg and mp.utils are always available.
- Instead of returning x, error, return x and expose mp.last_error().
- Timers are JS standard set/clear Timeout/Interval.
- Supports CommonJS modules/require.
- Added at mp.utils: getenv, read_file, write_file and few more.
- Global print and dump (expand objects) functions.
- mp.options currently not supported.
See DOCS/man/javascript.rst for more details.
All authors of the current code have agreed (as far as this commit
requires).
options.c/options.h will take more effort, because it contains all the
option declarations, and thus is touched extremely often.
m_option.c is technically still GPL, because of commit 2c82d5a1d8
(michael has agreed to LGPL, but only once the core of mpv is LGPL).
The geometry parsing code in m_option.c was originally by someone who
could not be reached. However, it was heavily rewritten anyway, and only
the syntax remains (i.e. not copyright-relevant).
parse_commandline.c contains a change by "adland" (commit 1d0ac71ae8),
who could not be reached - this this specific part is GPL only.
Fortunately, it matters only for DVD (and even then is more like a hack,
but whatever).
There are some other relevant changes, but they have all been reverted,
moved somewhere else, deleted, or replaced.
The history goes back to 2001 or so, but everyone involved with still
existing code has agreed.
One person who could not be reached yet (elevengu) has changes in this,
which as far as I can tell were overwritten anyway at a later point.
List of changes:
1. Rename `signfs` to `scale`, to better match what it actually does
(force --sub-scale to apply to ASS subtitles), and fix the blatantly
wrong documentation (it actually specifically does *not* apply to
signs)
2. Rename `--sub-ass-style-override` to `--sub-ass-override` to help
reduce confusion between it and `--sub-ass-force-style`, as well as
pointing out that it doesn't necessarily actually override styles.
(The new `scale` option, for example, only sets
ASS_OVERRIDE_BIT_FONT_SIZE, but not ASS_OVERRIDE_BIT_STYLE)
3. Mention that `--sub-ass-override` is generally sort of smart about
only overriding dialog, not signs.
