Because it's kind of dumb. (But not sure if it was worth the trouble.)
For stream_file.c, we add new explicit fields. The rest are rather
special uses and can be killed by comparing the stream impl. name.
The changes to DVD/BD/CD/TV are entirely untested.
demux_playlist.c recognizes if the source stream points to a directory,
and adds its directory entries. Until now, only 1 level was added.
During playback, further directory entries could be resolved as
directory paths were "played".
While this worked fine, it lead to frequent user confusion, because
playlist resuming and other things didn't work as expected. So just
recursively scan everything.
I'm unsure whether it's a good fix, but at least it gets rid of the
complaints. (And probably will add others.)
This covers source files which were added in mplayer2 and mpv times
only, and where all code is covered by LGPL relicensing agreements.
There are probably more files to which this applies, but I'm being
conservative here.
A file named ao_sdl.c exists in MPlayer too, but the mpv one is a
complete rewrite, and was added some time after the original ao_sdl.c
was removed. The same applies to vo_sdl.c, for which the SDL2 API is
radically different in addition (MPlayer supports SDL 1.2 only).
common.c contains only code written by me. But common.h is a strange
case: although it originally was named mp_common.h and exists in MPlayer
too, by now it contains only definitions written by uau and me. The
exceptions are the CONTROL_ defines - thus not changing the license of
common.h yet.
codec_tags.c contained once large tables generated from MPlayer's
codecs.conf, but all of these tables were removed.
From demux_playlist.c I'm removing a code fragment from someone who was
not asked; this probably could be done later (see commit 15dccc37).
misc.c is a bit complicated to reason about (it was split off mplayer.c
and thus contains random functions out of this file), but actually all
functions have been added post-MPlayer. Except get_relative_time(),
which was written by uau, but looks similar to 3 different versions of
something similar in each of the Unix/win32/OSX timer source files. I'm
not sure what that means in regards to copyright, so I've just moved it
into another still-GPL source file for now.
screenshot.c once had some minor parts of MPlayer's vf_screenshot.c, but
they're all gone.
That just makes no sense, but seems to be a somewhat common user error.
The detection is not perfect. It's conceivable that EXT-X-... headers
are used in normal m3u playlists. After all, HLS playlists are by
definition a compatible extension to m3u playlists, as stupid as it
sounds.
The user probably doesn't want these. Conveniently, this also skips the
unwanted "." and ".." entries.
(This code is triggered if the input stream is a directory - and it's in
demux_playlist.c because it's convenient.)
That's how mime types are.
(This makes redirection with a specific HLS URL work, because some idiot
thought it'd be a great idea to spell the mime type as
"application/x-mpegURL".)
If a directory is encountered, replace it with its contents in the
internal playlist.
This is messed into demux_playlist.c, because why not. STREAMTYPE_DIR
could be avoided by unconditonally trying opendir() in demux_playlist.c,
but it seems nicer not to do weird things like calling it on real files.
This does not work on Windows, because msvcrt is retarded.
With a recent cleanup, rar support was stuffed into demux_playlist.c
(because "opening" rar files pretty much just lists archive contents and
adds them to a playlist using a special rar:// protocol, which will
actually access the rar file contents).
Since demux_playlist.c is probed _after_ demux_lavf.c (and should/must
be), libavformat was given the chance to detect DTS streams embedded
within the rar file. This is not really what we want, and a regression
what happened before rar listing was moved to demux_playlist.c.
Fix it by moving the rar listing into its own pseudo-demuxer, and let ir
probe before demux_lavf.c.
(Yes, this feature still has users.)
It was possible to make the player play local files by putting rar://
links into remote playlists, and some other potentially unsafe things.
Redo the handling of it. Now the rar-redirector (the thing in
demux_playlist.c) sets disable_safety, which makes the player open any
playlist entries returned. This is fine, because it redirects to the
same file anyway (just with different selection/interpretation of the
contents). On the other hand, rar:// itself is now considered fully
unsafe, which means that it is ignored if found in normal playlists.
Refactors an older hack, which for some reason used a more complicated
way. This generates the playlist representing the contents of the rar
file in demux_playlist.c. The pseudo-demuxer could easily be separate
from the the playlist parsers (and in fact there's almost no shared
code), but I don't think this obscure feature deserves a separate file.
Sample files created with:
rar a -v20000k -m0 files.rar file1.mkv file1.mkv
Includes some logic for not starting the demuxer thread for fully read
subtitles. (Well, the cache will still waste _lots_ of resources, and
the cache always has to be created, because we don't know whether it'll
be needed _before_ opening the file.)
See #1597.
m3u files are normally just text files with a list of filenames. Nothing
actually mandates that there is a header. Until now, we've rejected such
files, because there's absolutely no way to detect them.
If nothing else claims the file, the extension is ".m3u", and if the
contents of the file look like text, then load it as m3u playlist. The
text heuristic is pretty cheap, but at least it should prevent trying
to load binary data as playlist. (Which would "work", but result in a
catastrophic user experience.)
Due to the text heuristic, UTF-16/32 files will be rejected (unless they
have a header), but I don't care.
If EOF is reached after reading a line, the EOF flag is set. This was a
problem for the m3u code, which checked for EOF _after_ reading a line,
which will discard the last line read.
Also fix a typo in an unrelated part of the file.
I'm not sure if this could be done in libavformat instead. Probably not,
because libavformat doesn't seem to have any mechanism for trying one
protocol and reverting (or redirecting) to another one if needed.
This commit is sort of a hack too, because it redirects the URL by
pretending the http:// link is a playlist containing the mmsh:// link.
The list of mime types is borrowed from MPlayer (which has completely
different code to handle this).
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.
Caused failure to detect .pls files, because they were misdetected as
m3u. The problem is that "forcing playlist files" and "forcing a
specific playlist format" are not really treated separate, and in both
cases p->force is set to true. This made m3u detect all files as m3u
if --playlist was used. So correctly check whether the file format is
actually being probed or not.
Because the http playlist URL I had for testing claimed to be m3u by
file extension and mime type, but didn't have the header.
Note that this actually changes behavior only in the case the format is
detected by mime type. Then p->force will be set before calling the
parser, and the header becomes optional.
As of this commit, stream_read_line() can't actually error (except in
the case the passed in buffer is 0, which never happens here). This
commit is preparation for the following commit, which checks harder
whether the read data is actually text. Before this commit, an error
was treated as end-of-file, but the data read so far was considered
valid.
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.
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().)
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.
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.)
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.
