Making OSD/subtitle bitmaps refcounted was planend a longer time ago,
e.g. the sub_bitmaps.packed field (which refcounts the subtitle bitmap
data) was added in 2016. But nothing benefited much from it, because
struct sub_bitmaps was usually stack allocated, and there was this weird
callback stuff through osd_draw().
Make it possible to get actually refcounted subtitle bitmaps on the OSD
API level. For this, we just copy all subtitle data other than the
bitmaps with sub_bitmaps_copy(). At first, I had planned some fancy
refcount shit, but when that was a big mess and hard to debug and just
boiled to emulating malloc(), I made it a full allocation+copy. This
affects mostly the parts array. With crazy ASS subtitles, this parts
array can get pretty big (thousands of elements or more), in which case
the extra alloc/copy could become performance relevant. But then again
this is just pure bullshit, and I see no need to care. In practice, this
extra work most likely gets drowned out by libass murdering a single
core (while mpv is waiting for it) anyway. So fuck it.
I just wanted this so draw_bmp.c requires only a single call to render
everything. VOs also can benefit from this, because the weird callback
shit isn't necessary anymore (simpler code), but I haven't done anything
about it yet. In general I'd hope this will work towards simplifying the
OSD layer, which is prerequisite for making actual further improvements.
I haven't tested some cases such as the "overlay-add" command. Maybe it
crashes now? Who knows, who cares.
In addition, it might be worthwhile to reduce the code duplication
between all the things that output subtitle bitmaps (with repacking,
image allocation, etc.), but that's orthogonal.
UB sanitizer complains that aval<<24 (if >=128) cannot be represented as
int. Indeed, we would shift a bit into the sign of an int, which is
probably UB or implementation defined (I can't even remember, but the
stupidity of it burns). So technically, ubsan might be right.
Change aval to uint32_t, which I don't think has a chance of getting
promoted to int. Change the other *val to uint32_t too for cosmetic
symmetry.
So we have to obscure the intention of the code (*val can take only 8
bits) out of language stupidity. How nice. (What a shitty language.)
A mkv sample file was provided to me, which contained a moving PGS
subtitle track, with the same track rendered into the video as
reference. The subtitle track appeared to stutter (while the video one
was smooth). It turns out this was a timestamp rounding issue in mpv.
The subtitle timestamps in the file match the video ones exactly.
They're the same within the mpv demuxer too. Unfortunately, the
conversion from and to libavcodec timestamps is lossy, because mpv uses
a non-integer timebase, while libavcodec supports integers only. See
mp_pts_to_av() and mp_pts_from_av(). The recovered timestamp is almost
the same, but is off by a very minor part. As a result, the timestamps
won't compare equal, and if that happens, display of the subtitle frame
is skipped. Subtitle timestamps don't go through this conversion
because... libavcodec is special? The libavcodec subtitle API is
special.
Fix this by giving it a microsecond of slack. This is basically as if we
used an internal microseconds integer timebase, but only for the purpose
of image subtitle display.
The same could happen to sd_ass, except in practice it doesn't. ASS
subtitles (well, .ass files) inherently use a timebase incompatible to
video, so to ensure frame exactness, ASS timestamps are usually set to
slightly before the video frame's.
Discussion of better solutions:
One could rewrite mpv not to use float timestamps. You'd probably pick
some integer timebase instead (like microseconds), which would avoid the
libavcodec interop issue. At the very least this would be a lot of work.
It would be interesting to know whether the rounding in ther mpv<->lavc
timestamp conversion could be fixed to round-trip in this case. The
conversion tries to avoid problems by using the source timebase (e.g.
milliseconds with mkv). But in general some rounding is unavoidable,
because something between decoder and lowest demuxer layer could
transform the timestamps.
One could extend libavcodec to attach arbitrary information to avpacket
and return it in the resulting avframe. To some degree, such a mechanism
already exists (side data). But there are certain problems that make
this unfeasible and broken.
One could pass through exact mpv float timestamps by reinterpret-casting
them to int64_t, the FFmpeg timestamp type. Actually mpv used to do
this. But there were problems, such as FFmpeg (or things used by FFmpeg)
wanting to interpret the timestamps. Awful shit that make mpv change to
the current approach.
There's probably more but I'm getting bored. With some luck I wasted
precious seconds of your life with my nonsense.
Add an infrastructure for collecting performance-related data, use it in
some places. Add rendering of them to stats.lua.
There were two main goals: minimal impact on the normal code and normal
playback. So all these stats_* function calls either happen only during
initialization, or return immediately if no stats collection is going
on. That's why it does this lazily adding of stats entries etc. (a first
iteration made each stats entry an API thing, instead of just a single
stats_ctx, but I thought that was getting too intrusive in the "normal"
code, even if everything gets worse inside of stats.c).
You could get most of this information from various profilers (including
the extremely primitive --dump-stats thing in mpv), but this makes it
easier to see the most important information at once (at least in
theory), partially because we know best about the context of various
things.
Not very happy with this. It's all pretty primitive and dumb. At this
point I just wanted to get over with it, without necessarily having to
revisit it later, but with having my stupid statistics.
Somehow the code feels terrible. There are a lot of meh decisions in
there that could be better or worse (but mostly could be better), and it
just sucks but it's also trivial and uninteresting and does the job. I
guess I hate programming. It's so tedious and the result is always shit.
Anyway, enjoy.
Using mpv without libass isn't really supported, since it's not only
used to display ASS subtitles, but all text subtitles, and even OSD.
At least 1 user complained that the player printed a warning if built
without libass. Avoid trying to create the impression that using this
software without libass is in any way supported or desirable, and make
it fully mandatory.
(As far as making dependencies optional goes, I'd rather make ffmpeg
optional, which is an oversized and bloated library, rather than
something tiny like libass.)
Change all OPT_* macros such that they don't define the entire m_option
initializer, and instead expand only to a part of it, which sets certain
fields. This requires changing almost every option declaration, because
they all use these macros. A declaration now always starts with
{"name", ...
followed by designated initializers only (possibly wrapped in macros).
The OPT_* macros now initialize the .offset and .type fields only,
sometimes also .priv and others.
I think this change makes the option macros less tricky. The old code
had to stuff everything into macro arguments (and attempted to allow
setting arbitrary fields by letting the user pass designated
initializers in the vararg parts). Some of this was made messy due to
C99 and C11 not allowing 0-sized varargs with ',' removal. It's also
possible that this change is pointless, other than cosmetic preferences.
Not too happy about some things. For example, the OPT_CHOICE()
indentation I applied looks a bit ugly.
Much of this change was done with regex search&replace, but some places
required manual editing. In particular, code in "obscure" areas (which I
didn't include in compilation) might be broken now.
In wayland_common.c the author of some option declarations confused the
flags parameter with the default value (though the default value was
also properly set below). I fixed this with this change.
This is more or less a minimal hack to make _some_ text measurement
functionality available to scripts. Since libass does not support such a
thing, this simply uses the bounding box of the rendered text.
This is far from ideal. Problems include:
- using a bitmap bounding box
- additional memory waste and/or flushing caches
- dependency on window size
- odd small deviations with different window sizes (run osd-test.lua and
resize the window after each timer update; the bounding boxes aren't
adjusted in an overly useful way)
- inability to query the size _after_ actual rendering
But I guess it's a start. Since I'm aware that it's crap, add a threat
to the manpage that this may be changed/removed again. For now, I'm
interested whether anyone will have use for it in its current form, as
it's an often requested feature.
Setting demux_set_stream_wakeup_cb() will make all sh_stream (i.e.
track) specific wakeups go to this callback. But the callback takes care
of only the sub_preload() case (where it tries to pre-load subtitles
from already parsed and memory-present subtitles in a blocking way).
The old code assumed that the normal demuxer wakeup callback is called.
This was disregarded when the newer code was added. (And actually, the
original plan was to make _all_ per-sh_stream wakeups go to specialized
callbacks to avoid wasted work. dec_sub really should set the callback
always, and propagate wakeups to the playloop code. But it's too far
into the night to write coherent code.)
I couldn't actually observe any manifestation of this bug. Normally, the
playloop wakes up for other reasons (such as driving audio and video
decoding), so the lost wakeups rarely matter.
A negative subtitle delay means that subtitles from the future should be
shown earlier. With muxed subtitles, subtitle packets are demuxed along
with audio and video packets. But since they are demuxed "lazily",
nothing guarantees that subtitle packets from the future are available
in time.
Typically, the user-observed effect is that subtitles do not appear at
all (or too late) with large negative --sub-delay values, but that using
--cache might fix this.
Make this behave better. Automatically extend read-ahead to as much as
needed by the subtitles. It seems it's the easiest to pass the subtitle
render timestamp to the demuxer in order to guarantee that everything is
read. This timestamp based approach might be fragile, so disable it if
no negative sub-delay is used.
As far as the player frontend part is concerned, this makes use of the
code path for external subtitles, which are not lazily demuxed, and may
already trigger waiting.
Fixes: #7484
Libav seems rather dead: no release for 2 years, no new git commits in
master for almost a year (with one exception ~6 months ago). From what I
can tell, some developers resigned themselves to the horrifying idea to
post patches to ffmpeg-devel instead, while the rest of the developers
went on to greener pastures.
Libav was a better project than FFmpeg. Unfortunately, FFmpeg won,
because it managed to keep the name and website. Libav was pushed more
and more into obscurity: while there was initially a big push for Libav,
FFmpeg just remained "in place" and visible for most people. FFmpeg was
slowly draining all manpower and energy from Libav. A big part of this
was that FFmpeg stole code from Libav (regular merges of the entire
Libav git tree), making it some sort of Frankenstein mirror of Libav,
think decaying zombie with additional legs ("features") nailed to it.
"Stealing" surely is the wrong word; I'm just aping the language that
some of the FFmpeg members used to use. All that is in the past now, I'm
probably the only person left who is annoyed by this, and with this
commit I'm putting this decade long problem finally to an end. I just
thought I'd express my annoyance about this fucking shitshow one last
time.
The most intrusive change in this commit is the resample filter, which
originally used libavresample. Since the FFmpeg developer refused to
enable libavresample by default for drama reasons, and the API was
slightly different, so the filter used some big preprocessor mess to
make it compatible to libswresample. All that falls away now. The
simplification to the build system is also significant.
Works as ad-filter. I had some more plans, for example replacing
matching text with different text, but for now it's dropping matches
only. There's a big warning in the manpage that I might change
semantics. For example, I might turn it into a primitive sed.
In a sane world, you'd probably write a simple script that processes
downloaded subtitles before giving them to mpv, and avoid all this
complexity. But we don't live in a sane world, and the sooner you learn
this, the happier you will be. (But I also want to run this on muxed
subtitles.)
This is pretty straightforward. We use POSIX regexes, which are readily
available without additional pain or dependencies. This also means it's
(apparently) not available on win32 (MinGW). The regex list is because I
hate big monolithic regexes, and this makes it slightly better.
Very superficially tested.
Until now, filter_sdh was simply a function that was called by sd_ass
directly (if enabled).
I want to add another filter, so it's time to turn this into a somewhat
more general subtitle filtering infrastructure.
I pondered whether to reuse the audio/video filtering stuff - but better
not. Also, since subtitles are horrible and tend to refuse proper
abstraction, it's still messed into sd_ass, instead of working on the
dec_sub.c level. Actually mpv used to have subtitle "filters" and even
made subtitle converters part of it, but it was fairly horrible, so
don't do that again.
In addition, make runtime changes possible. Since this was supposed to
be a quick hack, I just decided to put all subtitle filter options into
a separate option group (=> simpler change notification), to manually
push the change through the playloop (like it was sort of before for OSD
options), and to recreate the sub filter chain completely in every
change. Should be good enough.
One strangeness is that due to prefetching and such, most subtitle
packets (or those some time ahead) are actually done filtering when we
change, so the user still needs to manually seek to actually refresh
everything. And since subtitle data is usually cached in ASS_Track (for
other terrible but user-friendly reasons), we also must clear the
subtitle data, but of course only on seek, since otherwise all subtitles
would just disappear. What a fucking mess, but such is life. We could
trigger a "refresh seek" to make this more automatic, but I don't feel
like it currently.
This is slightly inefficient (lots of allocations and copying), but I
decided that it doesn't matter. Could matter slightly for crazy ASS
subtitles that render with thousands of events.
Not very well tested. Still seems to work, but I didn't have many test
cases.
This is for easier use with the "delay_open" feature added in the
previous commit. The "null" codec is reported if the codec is unknown
(because the stream was not opened yet at time the tracks were added).
The rest of the timeline mechanism will set the correct codec at
runtime. But this means every time a delay-loaded track is selected, it
wants to initialize a decoder for the "null" codec.
Accept a "null" decoder. But since FFmpeg has no such codec, and out of
my own laziness, just let it fall back to "common" codecs that need no
other initialization data.
The change, in an earlier commit, in format for ass to handle results
in a different number of fields to skip. Correct that so SDH filtering
works.
Should fix issue #7188
check_obj_resize() in sub/osd.c calls mp_client_broadcast_event(), which
calls notify_property_events(). This is pretty unexpected, because
check_obj_resize() may be called from the VO thread. While that's sort
of awful, it seems to be OK locking-wise. But it breaks an assumption in
notify_property_events() that the core doesn't need to be woken up,
which could possibly lead to a missed/delayed property update (although
rather unlikely).
Fix this by explicitly waking up the core when it's called from the OSD
code.
Lua scripting has an undocumented mp.set_osd_ass() function, which is
used by osc.lua and console.lua. Apparently, 3rd party scripts also use
this. It's probably time to make this a public API.
The Lua implementation just bypassed the libmpv API. To make it usable
by any type of client, turn it into a command, "osd-overlay".
There's already a "overlay-add". Ignore it (although the manpage admits
guiltiness). I don't really want to deal with that old command. Its main
problem is that it uses global IDs, while I'd like to avoid that scripts
mess with each others overlays (whether that is accidentally or
intentionally). Maybe "overlay-add" can eventually be merged into
"osd-overlay", but I'm too lazy to do that now.
Scripting now uses the commands. There is a helper to manage OSD
overlays. The helper is very "thin"; I only want to force script authors
to use the ID allocation, which may help with putting multiple scripts
into a single .lua file without causing conflicts (basically, avoiding
singletons within a script's environment). The old set_osd_ass() is
emulated with the new API.
The JS scripting wrapper also provides a set_osd_ass() function, which
calls internal mpv API. Comment that part (to keep it compiling), but
I'm leaving it to @avih to finish the change.
I was recently informed that unicode has official symbols for
window controls, and I put together a change to use them, which
worked, as long as a suitable font was installed. However, it's
not that hard to get a normal system that lacks an appropriate
font, and libass wants to print warnings if the symbols aren't
in the default font, which will almost always be true.
So, I gave up and added the symbols to the custom osd font that
we already have. This ensures they are always available, and
that they are aligned consistently on all platforms.
I took the symbols from the `symbola` font, as this has a suitable
licence and the symbols look nice enough.
Symbola Licence:
Fonts are free for any use; they may be opened, edited,
modified, regenerated, packaged and redistributed.
Finally, as we now have access to an un-maximize symbol, I added
logic to use it when the window is maximized.
Do what we do best in multimedia: add conflicting hacks on top of other
hacks, that fix a single sample, and may break other ones.
In this case, it only happens if the file is most likely already broken
(subtitle bounding boxes go outside of the subtitle "canvas"), so it's
OK. The file still looks broken (and, in fact, the file is completely
fucking broken), but you can see the subtitles.
But in summary, this is not actually something I should have bothered
about.
I noticed that MPlayer shows the subtitles "correctly", but this is only
because they have a hack that extends subtitles with small resolution to
a larger hardcoded resolution. This hack was removed from mpv, because
it broke some completely legitimate files. As another really funny fact,
MPlayer's default video output (vdpau) appears to display this file
correctly, but only because it handles narrow aspect ratios (that extend
the height instead of the width) incorrectly. It extends the height, but
leaves the video with 1:1 aspect ratio at the top. It seems to repeat
the last video line. (-vo xv and -vo gl show it correctly, i.e.
stretched like mpv, by the way.) For some reason, the sample file at
hand is extended with black, so the subtitles are rendered into a black
area below the video, which is almost reasonable. So, MPlayer may
display this file "correctly", but in fact it only happens to do so
because of 1 hack that breaks legitimate files, and 1 bug. What the
fuck.
Fixes: #7218 (sort of)
Sometimes the atlas can get so large that it exceeds the maximum allowed
size for an mp_image. Since the atlas will never shrink naturally, this
breaks subtitles entirely until mpv is restarted. Reset the packer so
that subtitles can rendered properly once the atlas fits again.
This is a partial workaround for #6286.
libass had an API to configure this since 2013. mpv always used
ASS_FONTPROVIDER_AUTODETECT, because usually there's little reason to
use anything else. The intention of the now added option is to allow
users to disable use of system fonts.
I didn't consider it worth the trouble to add the coretext and
directwrite enum items from ASS_DefaultFontProvider. The "auto" choice
will have the same effect if they're available. Also, the part of the
code which defines the option does not necessarily have libass available
(it's still optional!), so defining all enum items as choices is icky. I
still added fontconfig, since that may be nice to emulate a nostalgic
2010 feeling of mpv freezing on fontconfig.
The option for OSD is even less useful. (But you get it for free, and
why pass up a chance to add yet another useless option?)
This is not quite what was requested in #6947, but as close as it gets.
First we shift the values up to the actual amount of bits in draw_ass,
so that they will be drawn correctly when using formats with more than
8 bpc. (draw_rgba is already correct w.r.t. RGB formats with 9 or more
bpc)
Then, in scale_sb_rgba, by setting the amount of bits per channel used
for planar RGB formats (formats are always planar at this point in
draw_bmp) to be the same as the source from 9 to 16 bpc (in effect all
the various GBRP formats) we manage to fit the special case that does
not require any conversion in chroma_up and chroma_down when handling
these formats (as long as the source itself is a planar format),
instead writing directly to the combined dst/src buffer. This in turn
works around a bug (incorrect colors) in libswscale when scaling
between GBRP formats with 9 or more bpc. Additionally this should be
more efficient, since we skip up- and down-conversion and temporary
buffers.
During initial testing with US closed captions, ARIB captions,
timed text in MP4 or the specific external SRT files I tested with
there were no hints that this flag would be needed for seeking to
work.
Unfortunately, that result seems to have been incorrect.
Fixes#6970
Simple enough to do. May have mixed results. Typically, bitmap subtitles
will have a tight bounding box around the rendered text. But if for
example there is text on the top and bottom, it may be a single big
bitmap with a large transparent area between top and bottom. In
particular, DVD subtitles are really just a single screen-sized
RLE-encoded bitmap, though libavcodec will crop off transparent areas.
Like with sd_ass, you can't move subtitles _down_ if they are already in
their origin position. This could probably be improved, but I don't want
to deal with that right now.
See manpage additions. This is a huge hack. You can bet there are shit
tons of bugs. It's literally forcing square pegs into round holes.
Hopefully, the manpage wall of text makes it clear enough that the whole
shit can easily crash and burn. (Although it shouldn't literally crash.
That would be a bug. It possibly _could_ start a fire by entering some
sort of endless loop, not a literal one, just something where it tries
to do work without making progress.)
(Some obvious bugs I simply ignored for this initial version, but
there's a number of potential bugs I can't even imagine. Normal playback
should remain completely unaffected, though.)
How this works is also described in the manpage. Basically, we demux in
reverse, then we decode in reverse, then we render in reverse.
The decoding part is the simplest: just reorder the decoder output. This
weirdly integrates with the timeline/ordered chapter code, which also
has special requirements on feeding the packets to the decoder in a
non-straightforward way (it doesn't conflict, although a bugmessmass
breaks correct slicing of segments, so EDL/ordered chapter playback is
broken in backward direction).
Backward demuxing is pretty involved. In theory, it could be much
easier: simply iterating the usual demuxer output backward. But this
just doesn't fit into our code, so there's a cthulhu nightmare of shit.
To be specific, each stream (audio, video) is reversed separately. At
least this means we can do backward playback within cached content (for
example, you could play backwards in a live stream; on that note, it
disables prefetching, which would lead to losing new live video, but
this could be avoided).
The fuckmess also meant that I didn't bother trying to support
subtitles. Subtitles are a problem because they're "sparse" streams.
They need to be "passively" demuxed: you don't try to read a subtitle
packet, you demux audio and video, and then look whether there was a
subtitle packet. This means to get subtitles for a time range, you need
to know that you demuxed video and audio over this range, which becomes
pretty messy when you demux audio and video backwards separately.
Backward display is the most weird (and potentially buggy) part. To
avoid that we need to touch a LOT of timing code, we negate all
timestamps. The basic idea is that due to the navigation, all
comparisons and subtractions of timestamps keep working, and you don't
need to touch every single of them to "reverse" them.
E.g.:
bool before = pts_a < pts_b;
would need to be:
bool before = forward
? pts_a < pts_b
: pts_a > pts_b;
or:
bool before = pts_a * dir < pts_b * dir;
or if you, as it's implemented now, just do this after decoding:
pts_a *= dir;
pts_b *= dir;
and then in the normal timing/renderer code:
bool before = pts_a < pts_b;
Consequently, we don't need many changes in the latter code. But some
assumptions inhererently true for forward playback may have been broken
anyway. What is mainly needed is fixing places where values are passed
between positive and negative "domains". For example, seeking and
timestamp user display always uses positive timestamps. The main mess is
that it's not obvious which domain a given variable should or does use.
Well, in my tests with a single file, it suddenly started to work when I
did this. I'm honestly surprised that it did, and that I didn't have to
change a single line in the timing code past decoder (just something
minor to make external/cached text subtitles display). I committed it
immediately while avoiding thinking about it. But there really likely
are subtle problems of all sorts.
As far as I'm aware, gstreamer also supports backward playback. When I
looked at this years ago, I couldn't find a way to actually try this,
and I didn't revisit it now. Back then I also read talk slides from the
person who implemented it, and I'm not sure if and which ideas I might
have taken from it. It's possible that the timestamp reversal is
inspired by it, but I didn't check. (I think it claimed that it could
avoid large changes by changing a sign?)
VapourSynth has some sort of reverse function, which provides a backward
view on a video. The function itself is trivial to implement, as
VapourSynth aims to provide random access to video by frame numbers (so
you just request decreasing frame numbers). From what I remember, it
wasn't exactly fluid, but it worked. It's implemented by creating an
index, and seeking to the target on demand, and a bunch of caching. mpv
could use it, but it would either require using VapourSynth as demuxer
and decoder for everything, or replacing the current file every time
something is supposed to be played backwards.
FFmpeg's libavfilter has reversal filters for audio and video. These
require buffering the entire media data of the file, and don't really
fit into mpv's architecture. It could be used by playing a libavfilter
graph that also demuxes, but that's like VapourSynth but worse.
There are 3 packet reading functions in the demux API, which all
function completely differently. One of them, demux_read_packet(), has
only 1 caller, which is in dec_sub.c. Change this caller to use
demux_read_packet_async() instead. Since it really wants to do a
blocking call, setup some proper waiting. This uses mp_dispatch_queue,
because even though it's overkill, it needs the least code.
In practice, waiting actually never happens. This code is only called on
code paths where everything is already read into memory (libavformat's
subtitle demuxers simply behave this way). It's still a bit of a
"coincidence", so implement it properly anyway.
If suubtitle decoder init fails, we still need to unset the demuxer
wakeup callback. Add a sub_destroy() call to the failure path. This also
happens to fix a missed pthread_mutex_destroy() call (in practice this
was a nop, or a memory leak on BSDs).
UB-sanitizer complains that we shift bits into the sign (when a is
used). Change it to unsigned, which in theory is more correct and
silences the warning.
Doesn't matter in practice, both the "bug" and the fix have 0 impact.
It would always autodetect it based on the passed style block,
but as we are defining it - we might as well define it always.
(As far as I can see all decoders in libavcodec utilize 4+ style
blocks)
Manual changes done:
* Merged the interface-changes under the already master'd changes.
* Moved the hwdec-related option changes to video/decode/vd_lavc.c.
Only printable ASCII characters were considered to be valid texts. Make
it possible that UTF-8 contents are also considered valid.
This does not make the SDH subtitle filter support non-English
languages. This just prevents the filter from blindly marking lines that
have only UTF-8 characters as empty.
Fixes#6502
libavcodec normally drops subtitle lines that fail a check for invalid
UTF-8 (their check is slightly broken too, by the way). This was always
annoying and inconvenient, but now there is a mechanism to prevent
it from doing this. Requires newst libavcodec.
Remove them from the big MPOpts struct and move them to their sub
structs. In the places where their fields are used, create a private
copy of the structs, instead of accessing the semi-deprecated global
option struct instance (mpv_global.opts) directly.
This actually makes accessing these options finally thread-safe. They
weren't even if they should have for years. (Including some potential
for undefined behavior when e.g. the OSD font was changed at runtime.)
This is mostly transparent. All options get moved around, but most users
of the options just need to access a different struct (changing sd.opts
to a different type changes a lot of uses, for example).
One thing which has to be considered and could cause potential
regressions is that the new option copies must be explicitly updated.
sub_update_opts() takes care of this for example.
Another thing is that writing to the option structs manually won't work,
because the changes won't be propagated to other copies. Apparently the
only affected case is the implementation of the sub-step command, which
tries to change sub_delay. Handle this one explicitly (osd_changed()
doesn't need to be called anymore, because changing the option triggers
UPDATE_OSD, and updates the OSD as a consequence). The way the option
value is propagated is rather hacky, but for now this will do.
It was split at least across osd.c and sd_ass.c/sd_lavc.c. sd_lavc.c
actually ignored most of the more obscure subtitle timing things.
There's no reason for this - just move it all to dec_sub.c (mostly from
sd_ass.c, because it has some of the most complex stuff).
Now timestamps are transformed as they enter or leave dec_sub.c.
There appear to have been some subtle mismatches about how subtitle
timestamps were transformed, e.g. sd_functions.accepts_packet didn't
apply the subtitle speed to the timestamp. This patch should fix them,
although it's not clear if they caused actual misbehavior.
The semantics of SD_CTRL_SUB_STEP are slightly changed, which is the
reason for the changes in command.c and sd_lavc.c.
I've decided that MP_TRACE means “noisy spam per frame”, whereas
MP_DBG just means “more verbose debugging messages than MSGL_V”.
Basically, MSGL_DBG shouldn't create spam per frame like it currently
does, and MSGL_V should make sense to the end-user and provide mostly
additional informational output.
MP_DBG is basically what I want to make the new default for --log-file,
so the cut-off point for MP_DBG is if we probably want to know if for
debugging purposes but the user most likely doesn't care about on the
terminal.
Also, the debug callbacks for libass and ffmpeg got bumped in their
verbosity levels slightly, because being external components they're a
bit less relevant to mpv debugging, and a bit too over-eager in what
they consider to be relevant information.
I exclusively used the "try it on my machine and remove messages from
MSGL_* until it does what I want it to" approach of refactoring, so
YMMV.
The OpenType Font File specification recommends that "Collection fonts
that use CFF or CFF2 outlines should have an .OTC extension." mpv
should accept .otc as a fallback extension for font detection should
the mimetype detection fail.
IETF RFC8081 added the "font" top-level media type,
including font/ttf, font/otf, font/sfnt, and also
font/collection. These font formats are all supported
by mpv/libass but they are not accepted as valid
Matroska mime types. mpv can load them via file extension
and they work as expected, so files using the new types
should not trigger a warning from mpv.
The current invocation of bstr_cut is as good as no cutting at all.
Almost the entire header is reread in every iteration of the loop.
I don't know how many styles libavcodec tends to generate, but if
(now or in the future) it generates many, then this loop is slow
for no good reason. If anything, the code would be more clear and
have the same performance if it didn't call bstr_cut at all.
The intention here (and the sensible thing regardless) seems to be
to skip the part of the string that bstr_find has already looked
through and found nothing. This commit additionally skips the whole
substring, because overlapping matches are impossible.
