Cover art handling is a disgusting hack that causes a mess in all
components. And this will stay this way. This is the Xth time I've
changed cover art handling, and that will probably also continue.
But change the code such that cover art is injected into the demux
packet stream, instead of having an explicit special case it in the
decoder glue code. (This is somewhat more similar to the cover art hack
in libavformat.)
To avoid that the over art picture is decoded again on each seek, we
need some additional "caching" in player/video.c. Decoding it after each
seek would work as well, but since cover art pictures can be pretty
huge, it's probably ok to invest some lines of code into caching it.
One weird thing is that the cover art packet will remain queued after
seeks, but that is probably not an issue.
In exchange, we can drop the dec_video.c code, which is pretty
convenient for one of the following commits. This code duplicates a
bunch of lower-level decode calls and does icky messing with this weird
state stuff, so I'm glad it goes away.
It has only 1 caller, and is too far appart within the file. I think it
used to have multiple callers, but now it just doesn't make any sense to
keep it separate anymore.
This was probably the intention all along. But I honestly have no idea
what this code even does.
Due to what ebml_read_vlen_int() is used for, this is unlikely to have
mattered anyway as it rarely/never reads huge values. Which is probably
why this has worked for over a decade.
TrueHD is a fucked up audio codec with extremely small frame sizes. Some
of these frames start with full headers, which are usually marked as
keyframes, and from which decoding can be started (or at least that's
what you'd expect).
So for such tracks we should probably trust the keyframe flags. Doesn't
really improve seek behavior, though.
Some files have audio tracks with packets that do not have a keyframe
flag set at all. I don't think there's any audio codec which actually
needs keyframe flags, so always assume an audio packet is a keyframe
(which, in Matroska terminology, means it can start decoding from that
packet).
The file in question had these set:
| + Multiplexing application: Lavf57.56.100 at 313
| + Writing application: Lavf57.56.100 at 329
Garbage produced by garbage...
There are other such files produced by mkvmerge, though. It's not
perfectly sure whether these have been produced by FFmpeg as well
(mkvmerge often trusts the information in the source file, even if it's
wrong - so other samples could have been remuxed from FFmpeg).
Fixes#3920.
This is needed to put the decoders into the correct state. In
particular, decoders will not initialize the current segment without
this flag. The intention of not setting the flag for seeks within the
segments were to avoid costly decoder reinits, but it seems this is
better handled explicitly in the decoder wrappers.
Implementation-wise, the values from the demuxer/codec header are merged
with the values from the decoder such that the former are used only
where the latter are unknown (0/auto).
Matroska actually has lots of colorimetry metadata that video tracks can
use, including mastering metadata (HDR signal peak) etc.
This commit adds the EBML definitions and parses the most basic fields.
Note that nothing uses these fields yet, this commit is just adding the
necessary parsing and infrastructure.
This deals with the estimation of buffered packets, which is used mostly
for display, but also things like pausing on low buffer levels.
If a stream is fully EOF (no more packets), we don't want to include it
in the total buffer amount. This also means we should make ds->eof less
flaky and more stable, so don't reset it in ds_get_packets() (this
function reset ds->eof just to retrigger a packet read attempt - we can
have this slightly simpler). This somewhat fixes buffering display when
e.g. issuing a refresh seek after re-enabling audio/video when playing
with subtitles only.
Commit f72a900892 (and others) added support for ordered editions that
recursively refer to other ordered editions. However, this recursion
code incorrectly activated if the source files had ordered chapters
even if the main file only wanted to use them as raw video, resulting
in broken timeline info overall.
Ordered chapters can specify a ChapterSegmentEditionUID value if they
want to use a specific edition from a source file. Otherwise the
source is supposed to be used as a raw video file. The code checked
demuxer->matroska_data.num_ordered_chapters for an opened source file
to see whether it was using a recursive ordered edition, but demux_mkv
could enable a default ordered edition for the file using the normal
playback rules even if the main file had not specified any
ChapterSegmentEditionUID. Thus this incorrectly enabled recursion if a
source file had a default edition using ordered chapters. Check
demuxer->matroska_data.uid.edition instead, and ensure it's never set
if a file is opened without ChapterSegmentEditionUID.
Also fix what seems like a memory leak in demux_mkv.c.

FFmpeg recently got "support" for mov edit lists. This is a terrible
hack that will fail completely at least with some decoders (in
particular wrappers for hardware decoding might be affected). As such it
makes no point to pretend they are supported, even if we assume that the
"intended" functionality works, that there are no implementation bugs
(good luck with all that messy code added to the already huge mov
demuxer), and that it covers enough of the mov edit list feature to be
of value.
So log an error if the FFmpeg code for mov edit lists appears to be
active - AV_PKT_FLAG_DISCARD is used only for "clipping" edit list
segments on non-key frame boundaries.
In the first place, FFmpeg committed this only because Google wanted it
in, and patch review did not even pick up obvious issues. (Just look how
there was no lavc version bump when AV_PKT_FLAG_DISCARD was added.)
We still pass the new packet flag to the decoders (av_common.c change),
which means we "support" FFmpeg's edit list code now. (Until it breaks
due to FFmpeg not caring about all the details.)
When switching a subtitle track, the subtitle wasn't necessarily
updated, especially when playback was paused.
Some awfully subtle and complex interactions here.
First off (and not so subtle), the subtitle decoder will read packets
only on explicit update_subtitles() calls, which, if video is active, is
called only when a new video frame is shown. (A simply video frame
redraw doesn't trigger this.) So call it explicitly. But only if
playback is "initialized", i.e. not when it does initial track selection
and decoder init, during which no packets should be read.
The second issue is that the demuxer thread simply will not read new
packets just because a track was switched, especially if playback is
paused. That's fine, but if a refresh seek is to be done, it really
should do this. So if there's either 1. a refresh seek requested, or 2.
a refresh seek ongoing, then read more packets.
Note that it's entirely possible that we overflow the packet queue with
this in unpredicated weird corner cases, but the queue limit will still
be enforced, so this shouldn't make the situation worse.
This has all been made unnecessary recently. The change not to copy the
global option struct in particular can be made because now nothing
accesses the global options anymore in the demux and stream layers.
Some code that was accidentally added/changed in commit 5e30e7a0 is also
removed, because it was simply committed accidentally, and was never
used.
Don't access MPOpts directly, and always use the new m_config.h
functions for accessing them in a thread-safe way.
The goal is eventually removing the mpv_global.opts field, and the
demuxer/stream-layer specific hack that copies MPOpts to deal with
thread-safety issues.
This moves around a lot of options. For one, we often change the
physical storage location of options to make them more localized,
but these changes are not user-visible (or should not be). For
shared options on the other hand it's better to do messy direct
access, which is worrying as in that somehow renaming an option
or changing its type would break code reading them manually,
without causing a compilation error.
This is for text subtitles. libavformat currently always reads text
subtitles completely on init. This means the underlying stream is
useless and will consume resources for various reasons (network
connection, file handles, cache memory).
Take care of this by closing the underlying stream if we think the
demuxer has read everything. Since libavformat doesn't export whether it
did (or whether it may access the stream again in the future), we rely
on a whitelist. Also, instead of setting the stream to NULL or so, set
it to an empty dummy stream. This way we don't have to litter the code
with NULL checks.
demux_lavf.c needs extra changes, because it tries to do clever things
for the sake of subtitle charset conversion.
The main reason we keep the demuxer etc. open is because we fell for
libavformat being so generic, and we tried to remove corresponding
special-cases in the higher-level player code. Some of this is forced
due to ass/srt mkv/mp4 demuxing being very similar to external text
files. In the future it might be better to do this in a more
straight-forward way, such as reading text subtitles into libass and
then discarding the demuxer entirely, but for aforementioned reasons
this could be more of a mess than the solution introduced by this
commit.
Probably fixes#3456.
Cleaner and makes it easier to change the underlying stream.
mp_property_stream_capture() still directly accesses it directly via
demux_run_on_thread(). This is evil, but still somewhat sane and is not
getting into the way here.
Not sure if I got all field accesses.
It doesn't necessarily have to mean anything bad.
We're still too lazy to provide any more detailed information (e.g.
whether this happened to likely bad interleaving, excessive amount of
packets like with some ASS subs, or that the readahead user option is
limitted by the packet queue size).
Instead of passing through double float timestamps opaquely, pass real
timestamps. Do so by always setting a valid timebase on the
AVCodecContext for audio and video decoding.
Specifically try not to round timestamps to a too coarse timebase, which
could round off small adjustments to timestamps (such as for start time
rebasing or demux_timeline). If the timebase is considered too coarse,
make it finer.
This gets rid of the need to do this specifically for some hardware
decoding wrapper. The old method of passing through double timestamps
was also a bit questionable. While libavcodec is not supposed to
interpret timestamps at all if no timebase is provided, it was
needlessly tricky. Also, it actually does compare them with
AV_NOPTS_VALUE. This change will probably also reduce confusion in the
future.
When an ogg track upodates metadata, we have to perform a complicated
runtime update due to the demux.c architecture. A detail was broken and
an array was allocated with the previous number of streams, which
usually led to invalid memory write accesses at least on the first
update.
See github commit comment on commit b9ba9a89.
If the PEAK tag is invalid, return an error.
Make the error signalling conventions more uniform by strictly returning
a negative value on error, and treating >=0 as success.
The demuxer layer usually doesn't log per-stream information, and even
the replaygain information was logged only if it came from tags.
So log it in af_volume instead.
...and ignore it. The main purpose is for retrieving per-track
replaygain tags. Other than that per-track tags are not used or accessed
by the playback core yet.
The demuxer infrastructure is still not really good with that whole
synchronization thing (at least in part due to being inherited from
mplayer's single-threaded architecture). A convoluted mechanism is
needed to transport the tags from demuxer thread to user thread. Two
factors contribute to the complexity: tags can change during playback,
and tracks (i.e. struct sh_stream) are not duplicated per thread.
In particular, we update the way replaygain tags are retrieved. We first
try to use per-track tags (common in Matroska) and global tags
(effectively formats like mp3). This part fixes#3405.
Play a trick to make the packet pos field monotonically increasing over
segment boundaries if the source demuxers return monotonically
increasing pos values. This allows the demuxer to uniquely identify
packets with the pos field, and can do refresh seeks using that.
Normally, the packet pos field is used as a fallback for determining the
playback position if the demuxer returns no proper duration. But
demux_timeline.c always will, and the packet pos fields usually make no
sense in relation to the returned file size anyway if the timeline
source demuxers originate from separate streams.
Remove the explicit whitelisting of formats for refresh seeks. Instead,
check whether the packet position is somewhat reliable during demuxing.
If there are packets without position, or the packet position is not
monotonically increasing, then do not use them for refresh seeks.
This does not make sure of some requirements, such as deterministic
seeks. If that happens, mpv will mess up a bit on stream switching.
Also, add another method that uses DTS to identify packets, and prefer
it to the packet position method. Even if there's a demuxer which
randomizes packet positions, it hardly can do that with DTS. The DTS
method is not always available either, though. Some formats do not have
a DTS, and others are not always strictly monotonic (possibly due to
libavformat codec parsing and timestamp determination issues).
If the packet read function returns, and EOF was detected, and a seek
was issued in the meantime, then don't use the EOF result. The seek will
be processed later, and reset the EOF state anyway.
The main effect is probably that we don't return EOF to the decoders
(which the playback core resets before issuing the seek), and that we
won't log an EOF message.
Not important, but slightly more correct.
When switching tracks, we normally have the problem that data gets lost
due to readahead buffering. (Which in turn is because we're stubborn and
instruct the demuxers to discard data on unselected streams.) The
demuxer layer has a hack that re-reads discarded buffered data if a
stream is enabled mid-stream, so track switching will seem instant.
A somewhat similar problem is when all tracks of an external files were
disabled - when enabling the first track, we have to seek to the target
position.
Handle these with the same mechanism. Pass the "current time" to the
demuxer's stream switch function, and let the demuxer figure out what to
do. The demuxer will issue a refresh seek (if possible) to update the
new stream, or will issue a "normal" seek if there was no active stream
yet.
One case that changes is when a video/audio stream is enabled on an
external file with only a subtitle stream active, and the demuxer does
not support rrefresh seeks. This is a fuzzy case, because subtitles are
sparse, and the demuxer might have skipped large amounts of data. We
used to seek (and send the subtitle decoder some subtitle packets
twice). This case is sort of obscure and insane, and the fix would be
questionable, so we simply don't care.
Should mostly fix#3392.
This commit adds an --audio-channel=auto-safe mode, and makes it the
default. This mode behaves like "auto" with most AOs, except with
ao_alsa. The intention is to allow multichannel output by default on
sane APIs. ALSA is not sane as in it's so low level that it will e.g.
configure any layout over HDMI, even if the connected A/V receiver does
not support it. The HDMI fuckup is of course not ALSA's fault, but other
audio APIs normally isolate applications from dealing with this and
require the user to globally configure the correct output layout.
This will help with other AOs too. ao_lavc (encoding) is changed to the
new semantics as well, because it used to force stereo (perhaps because
encoding mode is supposed to produce safe files for crap devices?).
Exclusive mode output on Windows might need to be adjusted accordingly,
as it grants the same kind of low level access as ALSA (requires more
research).
In addition to the things mentioned above, the --audio-channels option
is extended to accept a set of channel layouts. This is supposed to be
the correct way to configure mpv ALSA multichannel output. You need to
put a list of channel layouts that your A/V receiver supports.
It used not to work - but now it apparently does. Not sure when that got
fixed in FFmpeg, but there's no longer a reason to keep this hack.
This also gets rid of the check for the read_seek2 field, which is not
part of the public API.
Since the libavformat API is crap, we have to apply tons of heuristics
to check whether seeking will work. (No, checking it at seek time isn't
going to work either, because if a seek fails, the demuxer will be in an
undefined state. Because the libavformat API is crap.)
