mplayer: turn playtree into a list, and change per-file option handling Summary: - There is no playtree anymore. It's reduced to a simple list. - Options are now always global. You can still have per-file options, but these are optional and require special syntax. - The slave command pt_step has been removed, and playlist_next and playlist_prev added. (See etc/input.conf changes.) This is a user visible incompatible change, and will break slave-mode applications. - The pt_clear slave command is renamed to playlist_clear. - Playtree entries could have multiple files. This is not the case anymore, and playlist entries have always exactly one entry. Whenever something adds more than one file (like ASX playlists or dvd:// or dvdnav:// on the command line), all files are added as separate playlist entries. Note that some of the changes are quite deep and violent. Expect regressions. The playlist parsing code in particular is of low quality. I didn't try to improve it, and merely spent to least effort necessary to keep it somehow working. (Especially ASX playlist handling.) The playtree code was complicated and bloated. It was also barely used. Most users don't even know that mplayer manages the playlist as tree, or how to use it. The most obscure features was probably specifying a tree on command line (with '{' and '}' to create/close tree nodes). It filled the player code with complexity and confused users with weird slave commands like pt_up. Replace the playtree with a simple flat playlist. Playlist parsers that actually return trees are changed to append all files to the playlist pre-order. It used to be the responsibility of the playtree code to change per-file config options. Now this is done by the player core, and the playlist code is free of such details. Options are not per-file by default anymore. This was a very obscure and complicated feature that confused even experienced users. Consider the following command line: mplayer file1.mkv file2.mkv --no-audio file3.mkv This will disable the audio for file2.mkv only, because options are per-file by default. To make the option affect all files, you're supposed to put it before the first file. This is bad, because normally you don't need per-file options. They are very rarely needed, and the only reasonable use cases I can imagine are use of the encode backend (mplayer encode branch), or for debugging. The normal use case is made harder, and the feature is perceived as bug. Even worse, correct usage is hard to explain for users. Make all options global by default. The position of an option isn't significant anymore (except for options that compensate each other, consider --shuffle --no-shuffle). One other important change is that no options are reset anymore if a new file is started. If you change settings with slave mode commands, they will not be changed by playing a new file. (Exceptions include settings that are too file specific, like audio/subtitle stream selection.) There is still some need for per-file options. Debugging and encoding are use cases that profit from per-file options. Per-file profiles (as well as per-protocol and per-VO/AO options) need the implementation related mechanisms to backup and restore options when the playback file changes. Simplify the save-slot stuff, which is possible because there is no hierarchical play tree anymore. Now there's a simple backup field. Add a way to specify per-file options on command line. Example: mplayer f1.mkv -o0 --{ -o1 f2.mkv -o2 f3.mkv --} f4.mkv -o3 will have the following options per file set: f1.mkv, f4.mkv: -o0 -o3 f2.mkv, f3.mkv: -o0 -o3 -o1 -o2 The options --{ and --} start and end per-file options. All files inside the { } will be affected by the options equally (similar to how global options and multiple files are handled). When playback of a file starts, the per-file options are set according to the command line. When playback ends, the per-file options are restored to the values when playback started.

Relicense some non-MPlayer source files to LGPL 2.1 or later 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.

mplayer: turn playtree into a list, and change per-file option handling Summary: - There is no playtree anymore. It's reduced to a simple list. - Options are now always global. You can still have per-file options, but these are optional and require special syntax. - The slave command pt_step has been removed, and playlist_next and playlist_prev added. (See etc/input.conf changes.) This is a user visible incompatible change, and will break slave-mode applications. - The pt_clear slave command is renamed to playlist_clear. - Playtree entries could have multiple files. This is not the case anymore, and playlist entries have always exactly one entry. Whenever something adds more than one file (like ASX playlists or dvd:// or dvdnav:// on the command line), all files are added as separate playlist entries. Note that some of the changes are quite deep and violent. Expect regressions. The playlist parsing code in particular is of low quality. I didn't try to improve it, and merely spent to least effort necessary to keep it somehow working. (Especially ASX playlist handling.) The playtree code was complicated and bloated. It was also barely used. Most users don't even know that mplayer manages the playlist as tree, or how to use it. The most obscure features was probably specifying a tree on command line (with '{' and '}' to create/close tree nodes). It filled the player code with complexity and confused users with weird slave commands like pt_up. Replace the playtree with a simple flat playlist. Playlist parsers that actually return trees are changed to append all files to the playlist pre-order. It used to be the responsibility of the playtree code to change per-file config options. Now this is done by the player core, and the playlist code is free of such details. Options are not per-file by default anymore. This was a very obscure and complicated feature that confused even experienced users. Consider the following command line: mplayer file1.mkv file2.mkv --no-audio file3.mkv This will disable the audio for file2.mkv only, because options are per-file by default. To make the option affect all files, you're supposed to put it before the first file. This is bad, because normally you don't need per-file options. They are very rarely needed, and the only reasonable use cases I can imagine are use of the encode backend (mplayer encode branch), or for debugging.

stream, demux: redo origin policy thing mpv has a very weak and very annoying policy that determines whether a playlist should be used or not. For example, if you play a remote playlist, you usually don't want it to be able to read local filesystem entries. (Although for a media player the impact is small I guess.) It's weak and annoying as in that it does not prevent certain cases which could be interpreted as bad in some cases, such as allowing playlists on the local filesystem to reference remote URLs. It probably barely makes sense, but we just want to exclude some other "definitely not a good idea" things, all while playlists generally just work, so whatever. The policy is: - from the command line anything is played - local playlists can reference anything except "unsafe" streams ("unsafe" means special stream inputs like libavfilter graphs) - remote playlists can reference only remote URLs - things like "memory://" and archives are "transparent" to this This commit does... something. It replaces the weird stream flags with a slightly clearer "origin" value, which is now consequently passed down and used everywhere. It fixes some deviations from the described policy. I wanted to force archives to reference only content within them, but this would probably have been more complicated (or required different abstractions), and I'm too lazy to figure it out, so archives are now "transparent" (playlists within archives behave the same outside). There may be a lot of bugs in this. This is unfortunately a very noisy commit because: - every stream open call now needs to pass the origin - so does every demuxer open call (=> params param. gets mandatory) - most stream were changed to provide the "origin" value - the origin value needed to be passed along in a lot of places - I was too lazy to split the commit Fixes: #7274

One other important change is that no options are reset anymore if a new file is started. If you change settings with slave mode commands, they will not be changed by playing a new file. (Exceptions include settings that are too file specific, like audio/subtitle stream selection.) There is still some need for per-file options. Debugging and encoding are use cases that profit from per-file options. Per-file profiles (as well as per-protocol and per-VO/AO options) need the implementation related mechanisms to backup and restore options when the playback file changes. Simplify the save-slot stuff, which is possible because there is no hierarchical play tree anymore. Now there's a simple backup field. Add a way to specify per-file options on command line. Example: mplayer f1.mkv -o0 --{ -o1 f2.mkv -o2 f3.mkv --} f4.mkv -o3 will have the following options per file set: f1.mkv, f4.mkv: -o0 -o3 f2.mkv, f3.mkv: -o0 -o3 -o1 -o2 The options --{ and --} start and end per-file options. All files inside the { } will be affected by the options equally (similar to how global options and multiple files are handled). When playback of a file starts, the per-file options are set according to the command line. When playback ends, the per-file options are restored to the values when playback started.

mplayer: turn playtree into a list, and change per-file option handling Summary: - There is no playtree anymore. It's reduced to a simple list. - Options are now always global. You can still have per-file options, but these are optional and require special syntax. - The slave command pt_step has been removed, and playlist_next and playlist_prev added. (See etc/input.conf changes.) This is a user visible incompatible change, and will break slave-mode applications. - The pt_clear slave command is renamed to playlist_clear. - Playtree entries could have multiple files. This is not the case anymore, and playlist entries have always exactly one entry. Whenever something adds more than one file (like ASX playlists or dvd:// or dvdnav:// on the command line), all files are added as separate playlist entries. Note that some of the changes are quite deep and violent. Expect regressions. The playlist parsing code in particular is of low quality. I didn't try to improve it, and merely spent to least effort necessary to keep it somehow working. (Especially ASX playlist handling.) The playtree code was complicated and bloated. It was also barely used. Most users don't even know that mplayer manages the playlist as tree, or how to use it. The most obscure features was probably specifying a tree on command line (with '{' and '}' to create/close tree nodes). It filled the player code with complexity and confused users with weird slave commands like pt_up. Replace the playtree with a simple flat playlist. Playlist parsers that actually return trees are changed to append all files to the playlist pre-order. It used to be the responsibility of the playtree code to change per-file config options. Now this is done by the player core, and the playlist code is free of such details. Options are not per-file by default anymore. This was a very obscure and complicated feature that confused even experienced users. Consider the following command line: mplayer file1.mkv file2.mkv --no-audio file3.mkv This will disable the audio for file2.mkv only, because options are per-file by default. To make the option affect all files, you're supposed to put it before the first file. This is bad, because normally you don't need per-file options. They are very rarely needed, and the only reasonable use cases I can imagine are use of the encode backend (mplayer encode branch), or for debugging.
