This was especially grating because it causes problems with the
option/property unification, uses as only thing OPT_FLAG_STORE, and
behaves weird with the client API or scripts.
It can be reimplemented in a much simpler way, although it needs
slightly more code. (Simpler because less special cases.)
If --log-file was used in config files, this could be missing due to the
exact timing when the messages are print, and when the options are
applied. Fix this by always dumping the version again when a log file is
opened.
msg.c is "partial" due to "michael", whose work can be changed to LGPL
only once the core is LGPL. It's explained in the Copyright file. I
prefer to do the relicensing incrementally (due to the overwhelming
workload). Changing the license before that happens would be legally
questionable, but nothing can stop us from essentially marking it as
"will be LGPL".
All authors have agreed to LGPL, with the following exceptions:
9df11ee8bf: the author (probably) didn't agree, but the line that is
added is later fully removed.
35e90f1556: was not asked, but all iconv code was 100% removed from the
mp_msg mechanism (we alwas require UTF-8 now).
4e4f3f806e: the change by michael.
50a86fcc34: the identify variable was move, and completely removed the
latest in commit 48bd03dd91.
1f6c494641: did not agree, but due to a major mp_msg change the added
line became unnecessary and was removed.
da63498bf9: was not reachable, but the MPlayer GUI is gone from mpv
anyway (also commit fc4d6e617d removed these specific additions a long
time ago).
The only definitions from MPlayer code are the CONTROL_* defines (added
in 7a2eec4b as part of libao2 - not part of libao), and MP_NOPTS_VALUE,
which was added in e6338c58. The latter is by "michael", who has agreed
under the condition that the core is LGPL, which has not happened yet,
but considering the macro definition used to be different, has the same
value and similar name to libavformat's AV_NOPTS_VALUE (which existed
first, and as LGPL), and that this almost certainly not copyrightable,
I'm assuming that this is fine.
In a first pass, we check whether libavcodec is present.
Then we try to compile a snippet and check for FFmpeg vs. Libav. (This
could probably also be done by somehow checking the pkgconfig version.
But pkg-config can't deal with that idiotic FFmpeg idea that a micro
version number >= 100 identifies FFmpeg vs. Libav.)
After that we check the project-specific version numbers. This means it
can no longer happen that we accidentally allow older, unsupported
versions of FFmpeg, just because the Libav version numbers are somehow
this way.
Also drop the resampler checks. We hardcode which resampler to each with
each project. A user can no longer force use of libavresample with
FFmpeg.
avcodec_parameters_to_context() overwrites codec_type and codec_id. But
we already set these by passing the selected AVCodec to
avcodec_alloc_context3(). It's entirely possible that at least codec_id
is different when forcing codecs with --ad/--vd. It's probably better
not to cause confusion by overwriting them. It might even trigger
undefined behavior in libavcodec (how it behaves or whether codec_id is
supposed to be strictly set is unknown, though).
This can be useful in other contexts.
Note that we end up setting AVCodecContext.width/height instead of
coded_width/coded_height now. AVCodecParameters can't set coded_width,
but this is probably more correct anyway.
This attempted to pass through double float timestamps in a bit exact
way by reinterpret casting them to int64_t. This usually worked, because
libavcodec (in decoding mode) is mostly not allowed to interpret
timestamps. libavcodec doesn't even know the unit of the timestamps,
unless the API user sets a timebase.
We've stopped doing this, and always set a timebase. Only ad_spdif.c
still used this (indirectly through mp_set_av_packet()), but doesn't
actually need timestamps on the packet. In fact, it's already explicitly
setting the packet timestamp fields to 0 before passing it to FFmpeg
API.
This code is unused, and the passthrough method wasn't terribly elegant
to begin with. Drop this code. Arbitrarily use AV_TIME_BASE_Q as
fallback in situations the passthrough was used.
Remove ad_spdif from the normal codec list, and select it explicitly.
One goal was to decouple this from the normal codec selection, so
they're less entangled and the decoder selection code can be simplified
in the far future. This means spdif codec selection is now done
explicitly via select_spdif_codec(). We can also remove the weird
requirements on "dts" and "dts-hd" for the --audio-spdif option, and it
can just do the right thing.
Now both video and audio codecs consist of a single codec family each,
vd_lavc and ad_lavc.
av_reduce(&num, &den, 1, 14112000, 1000000) can return num=0, den=1.
This means a 1/14112000 timebase (as used by the mp3 demuxer) would
become invalid.
The intention of mp_get_codec_timebase() is to always return a valid
timebase. av_reduce() probably does the logically correct thing - so add
a fallback to the safe default timebase.
Also, increase the av_reduce() parameter to INT_MAX. Let's just pray
this doesn't cause any actual problems. libavformat does the same, but
might be in a different position due to using av_rescale() etc., while
we convert between fractional timestamps and floats.
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.)
Both AVFrame.pts and AVFrame.pkt_pts have existed for a long time. Until
now, decoders always returned the pts via the pkt_pts field, while the
pts field was used for encoding and libavfilter only. Recently, pkt_pts
was deprecated, and pts was switched to always carry the pts.
This means we have to be careful not to accidentally use the wrong
field, depending on the libavcodec version. We have to explicitly check
the version numbers. Of course the version numbers are completely
idiotic, because idiotically the pkg-config and library names are the
same for FFmpeg and Libav, so we have to deal with this explicitly as
well.
We'd like to get log messages on the output as soon as possible in the
output. I also feel like using fflush() is nicer than using setvbuf().
Who knows how the latter behaves on win32.
Seems like a valid use-case. Not sure if I like it calling back into the
config code. Care has to be taken for not letting the config path
resolving code dead-lock (which is why locking details in the msg.c code
are changed).
Fixes#3591.
With the merging of options and properties, the mpv_set_option()
function is close to being useless, and mpv_set_property() can be used
for everything instead. There are certain conflicts remaining, which are
explained in depth in the docs. For now, none of this should affect
existing code using the client API.
Make mpv_set_property() redirect to mpv_set_option() before
initialization.
Remove some options marked as M_OPT_FIXED. The "pause" and "speed"
options cannot be written anymore without the playloop being notified by
it, so the M_OPT_FIXED does nothing. For "vo-mmcss-profile", the problem
was lack of synchronization, which has been added. I'm not sure what the
problem was with "frames" - I think it was only marked as M_OPT_FIXED
because changing it during playback will have no effect. Except for
pause/speed, these changes are needed to make them writable as
properties after mpv_initialize().
Also replace all remaining uses of CONF_GLOBAL with M_OPT_FIXED.
The way option runtime changes are handled is pretty bad in the current
codebase. There's a big option struct (MPOpts), which contains almost
everything, and for which no synchronization mechanism exists. This was
handled by either making some options read-only after initialization,
duplicating the option struct, using sub-options (in the VO), and so on.
Introduce a mechanism that creates a copy of the global options (or
parts of it), and provides a well-defined way to update them in a
thread-safe way.
Most code can remain the same, just that all the component glue code has
to explicitly make use of it first.
There is still lots of room for improvement. For example, the update
mechanism could be better.
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.
We don't support this anymore.
This tries to exit in a controlled way after command line options are
applied in order to honor logging options and, in case of libmpv, not to
kill the host. Not sure if it would be better to just vomit text to
stderr and call abort().
AVFormatContext.codec is deprecated now, and you're supposed to use
AVFormatContext.codecpar instead.
Handle this for all of the normal playback code.
Encoding mode isn't touched.
The old algorithm produced results which were not uniformly distributed,
i.e. some particular shuffles were preferred over others.
The new algorithm is an implementation of the Fisher-Yates shuffle which
is guaranteed to shuffle uniformly given a sufficiently uniform rand()
and ignoring potential floating-point errors.

Completely pointless abominations that FFmpeg refuses to remove. They
are ancient, long deprecated API which we can't use anymore. They
confused users as well.
Pretend that they don't exist. Due to the way --vd works, they can't
even be forced anymore. The older hack which explicitly rejects these
can be dropped as well.
The goal is reducing log messups (which happen surprisingly often) by
buffering partial lines in mp_log. This is still not 100% reliable, but
better.
The extrabuffers for MSGL_STATUS and MSGL_STATS are not needed anymore,
because a separate mp_log instance can be used if problems really occur.
Also, give up, and replace the snprintf acrobatics with bstr.
mp_log.partial has a quite subtle problem wrt. talloc: talloc parents
can not be used, because there's no lock around the internal talloc
structures associated with mp_log. Thus it has to be freed manually,
even if this happens through a talloc destructor.
We want to add a prefix to the ffmpeg log message, so we called mp_msg
multiple times until now. But logging such partial lines is a race
condition, because there's only one internal mp_msg buffer, and no
external mp_msg locks.
Avoid this by building the message on a stack buffer.
I might make a mp_log-local partial line buffer, but even then av_log()
can be called from multiple threads, while targetting the same mp_log.
(Really, ffmpeg's log API needs to be fixed.)
Until now, a rather large stack buffer was used for this, and also a
static buffer in mp_log_root. The latter was added to buffer partial
lines, and the stack buffer was used only for MSGL_STATUS and MSGL_STATS
(I guess because these are the most likely/severe to clash with partial
line buffering).
Make the buffer in mp_log_root dynamically sized, so we don't get cut
off log lines if the text is excessively large. (The OpenGL extension
list dumped by vo_opengl is such an example.)
Since we still have to support partial line buffering (FFmpeg's log
callbacks leave no other choice), keep the stack buffer. But make it
smaller; there's no way all ~6KB are going to be needed in any
situation.
The complex filter support that will be added makes much more complex
use of libavfilter, and I'm not going to bother with adding hacks to
keep libavfilter optional.
