Similar as the previous commits.
Most of the code is actually copied from the stream_dvdnav.c code, but
I'd rather prefer to duplicate it, than to entangle them. The latter
would probably result in terrible things in a few years.
Same hack as with stream_dvd.c.
VIDEO_TS.IFO files are now opened via stream_dvdnav.c. Directories
containing a VIDEO_TS.IFO or VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO file are also
opened with it.
This was once central, but now it's almost unused. Only vf_divtc still
uses it for extremely weird and incomprehensible reasons. The use in
stream.c is trivial. Replace these, and remove mpbswap.h.
This mechanism originates from MPlayer's way of dealing with blocking
network, but it's still useful. On opening and closing, mpv waits for
network synchronously, and also some obscure commands and use-cases can
lead to such blocking. In these situations, the stream is asynchronously
forced to stop by "interrupting" it.
The old design interrupting I/O was a bit broken: polling with a
callback, instead of actively interrupting it. Change the direction of
this. There is no callback anymore, and the player calls
mp_cancel_trigger() to force the stream to return.
libavformat (via stream_lavf.c) has the old broken design, and fixing it
would require fixing libavformat, which won't happen so quickly. So we
have to keep that part. But everything above the stream layer is
prepared for a better design, and more sophisticated methods than
mp_cancel_test() could be easily introduced.
There's still one problem: commands are still run in the central
playback loop, which we assume can block on I/O in the worst case.
That's not a problem yet, because we simply mark some commands as being
able to stop playback of the current file ("quit" etc.), so input.c
could abort playback as soon as such a command is queued. But there are
also commands abort playback only conditionally, and the logic for that
is in the playback core and thus "unreachable". For example,
"playlist_next" aborts playback only if there's a next file. We don't
want it to always abort playback.
As a quite ugly hack, abort playback only if at least 2 abort commands
are queued - this pretty much happens only if the core is frozen and
doesn't react to input.
Because that might be a bad idea.
Note that remote playlists still can use any protocol marked with
is_safe and is_network, because the case of http-hosted playlists
containing URLs using other streaming protocols is not unusual.
Until now, you had to use --load-unsafe-playlists or --playlist to get
playlists loaded. Change this and always load playlists by default.
This still attempts to reject unsafe URLs. For example, trying to invoke
libavdevice pseudo-demuxer is explicitly prevented. Local paths and any
http links (and some more) are always allowed.
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
Don't reconnect to the cache (since the cached stream already handles
reconnection). This is necessary, because since commit 0b428e44 the
"streaming" field (which also controls whether attempting to reconnect
makes sense at all) is inherited to the cache stream wrapper.
Also, let the stream reset its own position on reconnect. This removes
some assumptions and messy handling from the reconnect function.
Make sure the cache is dropped on reconnect. This takes care of
readjusting the stream position if necessary. (Also drop the cache on
DVB channel switching commands.)
Add the --cache-secs option, which literally overrides the value of
--demuxer-readahead-secs if the stream cache is active. The default
value is very high (10 seconds), which means it can act as network
cache.
Remove the old behavior of trying to pause once the byte cache runs
low. Instead, do something similar wit the demuxer cache. The nice
thing is that we can guess how many seconds of video it has cached,
and we can make better decisions. But for now, apply a relatively
naive heuristic: if the cache is below 0.5 secs, pause, and wait
until at least 2 secs are available.
Note that due to timestamp reordering, the estimated cached duration
of video might be inaccurate, depending on the file format. If the
file format has DTS, it's easy, otherwise the duration will seemingly
jump back and forth.
DVD and Bluray (and to some extent cdda) require awful hacks all over
the codebase to make them work. The main reason is that they act like
container, but are entirely implemented on the stream layer. The raw
mpeg data resulting from these streams must be "extended" with the
container-like metadata transported via STREAM_CTRLs. The result were
hacks all over demux.c and some higher-level parts.
Add a "disc" pseudo-demuxer, and move all these hacks and special-cases
to it.
For remarks, pretty much see the manpage additions. Could help with
network streams that require too much seeking (maybe), or might be
extended to help with the use case of watching and downloading a file
at the same time.
In general, it might be a useless feature and could be removed again.
While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
Usually, each stream driver declares the size and option list of its
private data. This was pretty natural for when most streams still used
global variables to setup their defaults. They did by pointing
priv_defaults to the (mutable) struct containing the option values. But
falls short when storing the option values in MPOpts. So provide a
somewhat inelegant but simple way to let the stream implementation setup
the priv struct at initialization time.
This is done with the get_defaults callback. It should return a copy of
the struct used in MPOpts. (A copy, because if MPOpts is changed, string
fields might be deallocated, and if that field is not described by
stream_info.options, it won't be copied on init.)
If a single person complains, I will readd it. But I don't expect that
this will happen.
The main reason for removing this is that it's some of the most unclean
code remaining, it's unmaintained, and I've never ever heard of someone
using it.
So, basically this worked only with streams that were not local files,
because stream_dvd.c "intercepts" local files to check whether they
point to DVD images. This means if a stream is not writeable, we have to
try the next stream implementation.
Unbreaks 2-pass encoding.
For some reason, we support writeable streams. (Only encoding uses that,
and the use of it looks messy enough that I want to replace it with FILE
or avio today.)
It's a chaos: most streams do not actually check the mode parameter like
they should. Simplify it, and let streams signal availability of write
mode by setting a flag in the stream info struct.
Stop using it in most places, and prefer STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE. The
advantage is that always the correct size will be used. There can be no
doubt anymore whether the end_pos value is outdated (as it happens often
with files that are being downloaded).
Some streams still use end_pos. They don't change size, and it's easier
to emulate STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE using end_pos, instead of adding a
STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE implementation to these streams.
Make sure int64_t is always used for STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE (it was
uint64_t before).
Remove the seek flags mess, and replace them with a seekable flag. Every
stream must set it consistently now, and an assertion in stream.c checks
this. Don't distinguish between streams that can only be forward or
backwards seeked, since we have no such stream types.
stream.start_pos was needed for optical media only, and (apparently) not
for very good reasons. Just get rid of it.
For stream_dvd, we don't need to do anything. Byte seeking was already
removed from it earlier.
For stream_cdda and stream_vcd, emulate the start_pos by offsetting the
stream pos as seen by the rest of mpv.
The bits in discnav.c and loadfile.c were for dealing with the code
seeking back to the start in demux.c. Handle this differently by
assuming the demuxer is always initialized with the stream at start
position, and instead seek back if initializing the demuxer fails.
Remove the --sb option, which worked by modifying stream.start_pos. If
someone really wants this option, it could be added back by creating a
"slice" stream (actually ffmpeg already has such a thing).
Some options change from percentages to number of kilobytes; there are
no cache options using percentages anymore.
Raise the default values. The cache is now 25000 kilobytes, although if
your connection is slow enough, the maximum is probably never reached.
(Although all the memory will still be used as seekback-cache.)
Remove the separate --audio-file-cache option, and use the cache default
settings for it.
This used global variables for the asynchronous interrupt callback.
Pick the simple and dumb solution and stuff the callback into
mpv_global. Do this because interrupt checking should also work in the
connect phase, and currently stream creation equates connecting.
Ideally, this would be passed to the stream on creation instead, or
connecting would be separated from creation. But since I don't know yet
which is better, and since moving stream/demuxer into their own thread
is something that will happen later, go with the mpv_global solution.
This is the only function which actually used the time argument of
stream_check_interrupt(). Considering that the whole player freezes
anyway, this is not worth the complication.
Also generally reduce the maximum wait time due to timeout. Introduce
exponential backoff, which makes the first reconnect retries faster, but
still waits up to 500ms in the later retries.
This commit introduces new stream protocols: bdnav(and others).
bdnav stream shares lots of codes with original bluray stream, so
it's not separated in different source file.
Major difference from bluray is that bdnav does not support longest
title because there is no way to query that information.
bdnav://menu and bdnav://first correspond to top menu title and
first play title respectively, though they often point same title.
Also, binary position based seeking has been removed, because it
didn't have no point.
This is probably ok. Probing could hit this case very often, since it'll
mean running this function on potentially binary data, but on the other
hand, probing usually uses a memory stream (to limit the amount of data
read), and memory streams have s->log silenced (details see
open_memory_stream()).
This simplifies the implementation and should make it more robust. For
example, we return an error if a line is longer than the provided buffer
(instead of splitting the line).
The code is much shorter, because now finding the new line and reading
characters is done in one go.
Streams like CDDA have special requirements in what quantities data can
be read: you can only read a sector at once, not more and not less. The
stream_peek() function didn't respect that and set less (used internal
buffer size of 2048 bytes, instead of CD sector size of 2352 bytes), so
no data was read and EOF was accidentally set, making playback with
cdda:// fail.
This is a regression since commit 9a723f, but that commit merely exposed
the issue (the redundant seek would clear the EOF flag).
Always pass around mp_log contexts in the option parser code. This of
course affects all users of this API as well.
In stream.c, pass a mp_null_log, because we can't do it properly yet.
This will be fixed later.
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.
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.
On dvdnav, caching kind of works but not really. (Not our fault, at
least not fully. It's due to libdvdnav being slightly misdesigned; see
previous commit for some explanations.)
The TV code is implemented in the demuxer, and the stream implementation
is just a wrapper, so caching makes no sense here.
There was already something similar in the code that did the actual
seek, but I think seeking to the same position could still trigger an
actual seek due to weid interaction with the buffer.
This readds a more or less completely new dvdnav implementation, though
it's based on the code from before commit 41fbcee. Note that this is
rather basic, and might be broken or not quite usable in many cases.
Most importantly, navigation highlights are not correctly implemented.
This would require changes in the FFmpeg dvdsub decoder (to apply a
different internal CLUT), so supporting it is not really possible right
now. And in fact, I don't think I ever want to support it, because it's
a very small gain for a lot of work. Instead, mpv will display fake
highlights, which are an approximate bounding box around the real
highlights.
Some things like mouse input or switching audio/subtitles stream using
the dvdnav VM are not supported.
Might be quite fragile on transitions: if dvdnav initiates a transition,
and doesn't give us enough mpeg data to initialize video playback, the
player will just quit.
This is added only because some users seem to want it. I don't intend to
make mpv a good DVD player, so the very basic minimum will have to do.
How about you just convert your DVD to proper video files?
pthreads should be available anywhere. Even if not, for environment
without threads a pthread wrapper could be provided that can't actually
start threads, thus disabling features that require threads.
Make pthreads mandatory in order to simplify build dependencies and to
reduce ifdeffery. (Admittedly, there wasn't much complexity, but maybe
we will use pthreads more in the future, and then it'd become a real
bother.)
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.
