Should we actually get into trouble for unproper handling of
frame-based subtitle formats, this might be the simplest way to
work this around. Also is a bit more intuitive than -subfps, which
might use an unknown, misdetected, or non-sense video FPS.
Still pretty silly, though.
demux_libass.c allows us to make subtitle format detection part of the
normal file loading process. libass has no probe function, but trying to
load the start of a file (the first 4 KB) is good enough. Hope that
libass can even handle random binary input gracefully without printing
stupid log messages, and that the libass parser doesn't accept too many
non-ASS files as input.
This doesn't handle the -subcp option correctly yet. This will be fixed
later.
subreader.c (before this commit renamed to demux_subreader.c) was
special cased to the -sub option. The plan is using the normal demuxer
codepath for all subtitle formats (so we can prefer libavformat demuxers
for most formats).
There are some subtle changes. The probe size is restricted to 32 KB
(instead of unlimitted + giving up after 100 lines of input). For
formats like MicroDVD, the video FPS isn't used anymore, because it's
not available on the subtitle demuxer level. Instead, hardcode it to
23.976 FPS (libavformat seems to do the same). The user can probably
still use -sub-fps to fix the timing. Checking the file extension for
".utf"/".utf8"/".utf-8" is simply removed (seems worthless, was in the
way, and I've never seen this anywhere).
The core didn't use these fields, and use of them was inconsistent
accross AOs. Some didn't use them at all. Some only set them; the values
were completely unused by the core. Some made full use of them.
Remove these fields. In places where they are still needed, make them
private AO state.
Remove the --abs option. It set the buffer size for ao_oss and ao_dsound
(being ignored by all other AOs), and was already marked as obsolete. If
it turns out that it's still needed for ao_oss or ao_dsound, their
default buffer sizes could be adjusted, and if even that doesn't help,
AO suboptions could be added in these cases.
Use the recently introduced screensaver VOCTRLs to control the
screensaver in the X11 backend. This means the behavior when paused
changes: the old code always kept the screensaver disabled, but now the
screensaver is reenabled on pausing.
Rename the --stop-xscreensaver option to --stop-screensaver and make it
more generic. Now it affects all backends that respond to the
screensaver VOCTRLs.
This commit addresses some issues with the users had with the previous
implementation in commit c39efb9. Here's the changes:
* Use Quartz Event Taps to remove Media Key events mpv handles from
the global OS X queue. This prevents conflicts with iTunes. I did this on
the main thread since it is mostly idling. It's the playloop thread that
actually does all the work so there is no danger of blocking the event tap
callback.
* Introduce `--no-media-keys` switch so that users can disable all of mpv's
media key handling at runtime (some prefer iTunes for example).
* Use mpv's bindings so that users can customize what the media keys do via
input.conf. Current bindings are:
MK_PLAY cycle pause
MK_PREV playlist_prev
MK_NEXT playlist_next
An additional benefit of this implementation is that it is completly handled
by the `macosx_events` file instead of `macosx_application` making the
project organization more straightforward.
This branch heavily refactors the subtitle code (both loading and
rendering), and adds support for a few new formats through FFmpeg.
We don't remove any of the old code yet. There are still some subtleties
related to subreader.c to be resolved: code page detection & conversion,
timing post-processing, UTF-16 subtitle support, support for the -subfps
option. Also, SRT reading and loading ASS via libass should be turned
into proper demuxers. (SRT is needed because Libav's is gravely broken,
and we want ASS loading via libass to cover full libass format support.
Both should be demuxers which are probed _before_ libavformat, so that
all subtitles can be loaded through the demuxer infrastructure, and
libavformat subtitles don't need to be treated in a special way.)
After killing the non functional AR support in c8fd9e5 I got much complaints so
this adds AR support back in (and it works). I am using the HIDRemote class by
Felix Schwarz and that part of the code is under the BSD license. I slightly
modified it replacing [NSApplication sharedApplication] with NSApp. The code
of the class is quite complex (probably because it had to deal with all the
edge cases with IOKit) but it works nicely as a black box.
In a later commit I'll remove the deprecation warnings caused by HIDRemote's
usage of Gestalt.
Check out `etc/input.conf` for the default bindings.
Apple Remote functionality is automatically compiled in when cocoa is enabled.
It can be disabled at runtime with the `--no-ar` option.
Most of these are rather questionable, the rest you rarely need to set
manually. You still can set all of them with -lavdopts-o (because
libavcodec has AVOptions for them).
When AAC is streamed over HTTP, using libavformat defaults is
pathetically slow. One solution for that is skipping probing and using
the mimetype to identify that it's AAC instead. This is what we did
before this commit (and ffmpeg does it too, but their logic is too
"inaccessible" for mpv).
This is still pretty fragile though. Make it a bit more robust by
requiring minimal probing. A probescore of 25 is reached after feeding
2 KB to libavformat (instead of > 500 KB for the normal probescore), so
use that. This is done only when streaming AAC from HTTP to reduce the
possibility of weird breakages for other formats.
Also reduce analyzeduration. The default analyzeduration will make
libavformat read lots of data, which makes playback start slow. So we
set analyzeduration to a low value. On the other hand, doing that for
other formats is risky, because there are unspecified effects with
certain "strange" formats (like transport streams). So we do this only
if we're streaming AAC from HTTP as well.
tl;dr libavformat is shit for media players
This can control whether demux_lavf should use the HTTP mime type to
determine the format, instead of probing the data with the libavformat
API. Do this to allow easier debugging in case the mimetype is
incorrect. (This is done only for AAC streams right now.)
Apparently useful for dumping DVD. Could also be used to rip streams
with libquvi and such, but for that there are better tools. Actually
I doubt there aren't better tools to dump DVDs, but whatever, this was
a feature request, so I don't need a good reason.
This helps passing the channel layout correctly from decoder to audio
filter chain. (Because that part "reuses" the demuxer level codec
parameters, which is very disgusting.)
Note that ffmpeg stuff already passed the channel layout via
mp_copy_lav_codec_headers(). So other than easier dealing with the
demuxer/decoder parameters mess, there's no real advantage to doing
this.
Make the --channels option accept a channel map. Since simple numbers
map to standard layouts with the given number of channels, this is
downwards compatible. Likewise for demux_rawaudio.
This adds Mission Control fullscreen functionality to mpv. Since this doesn't
play well with many of mpv's features disable it by default. Users can activate
this feature by using `--native-fs` when starting mpv.
Fixes#34
A "watch later" command is now mapped to Shift+Q. This quits the player
and stores the playback state in a config file in ~/.mpv/watch_later/.
When calling the player with the same file again, playback is resumed
at that time position.
It's also possible to make mpv save playback state always on quit with
the --save-position-on-quit option. Likewise, resuming can be disabled
with the --no-resume-playback option.
This also attempts to save some playback parameters, like fullscreen
state or track selection. This will unconditionally override config
settings and command line options (which is probably not what you would
expect, but in general nobody will really care about this). Some things
are not backed up, because that would cause various problems. Additional
subtitle files, video filters, etc. are not stored because that would be
too hard and fragile. Volume/mute state are not stored because it would
mess up if the system mixer is used, or if the system mixer was
readjusted in the meantime.
Basically, the tradeoff between perfect state restoration and
complexity/fragility makes it not worth to attempt to implement
it perfectly, even if the result is a little bit inconsistent.
Rename the struct MPOpts "start_pause" field to "pause". Store the user-
pause state in that field, so that both runtime pause toggling and the
--pause switch change the same variable. Simplify the initialization of
pause so that using --pause and changing the file while paused is
exactly the same case (changing the file while paused doesn't unpause,
this has been always this way).
Also make it a bit more consistent. Before, starting with --pause would
reset the pause state for every file, instead of following the usual
semantics for option switches (compare with behavior of --fs).
Block X11's native key repeat, and use mpv's key repeat handling in
input.c instead.
No configure check for XKB. Even though it's an extension, it has been
part of most (all?) xlibs since 1996. If XKB appears to be missing,
just refuse enabling x11.
This is a potentially controversial change. mpv will use its own key
repeat rate, instead of X11's. This should be better, because seeking
will have a standardized "speed" (seek events per seconds when keeping
a seek key held down). It will also allow disabling key repears for
certain commands, though this is not done anywhere yet.
The new behavior can be disabled with the --native-keyrepeat option.
This option can be used to selectively reset settings when playing the
next file in the playlist (i.e. restore mplayer and mplayer2 behavior).
Might remove this option again should it turn out that nobody uses it.
Makes sure that seeking to a given time position shows the subtitle at
that position. This can fail if the subtitle packet is not close enough
to the seek target. Always enabled for hr-seeks, and can be manually
enabled for normal seeks with --mkv-subtitle-preroll.
This helps displaying subtitles correctly with ordered chapters. When
switching ordered chapter segments, a seek is performed. If the subtitle
is timed slightly before the start of the segment, it normally won't be
demuxed. This is a problem with all seeks, but in this case normal
playback is affected. Since switching segments always uses hr-seeks,
the code added by this commit is always active in this situation.
If no subtitles are selected or the subtitles come from an external
file, the demuxer should behave exactly as before this commit.
The OSX part of the Apple Remote was unmaintained for a long time and was not
working anymore. I tried to update the cookies to what the current versions of
OS X expect without much luck. I decided to remove it since Apple is not
including the IR receiver anymore in new hardware and it's clear that wifi
based remotes are the way to go.
A third party iOS app should be used in it's place. In the future we could look
into having a dedicated iOS Remote Control app like VLC and XBMC do.
The Linux side (`appleir.c`) was relatively tidy but it looks like LIRC can be
configured to work with any version of Apple Remote [1] and is more maintained.

Drawing the bar with vector drawings (instead with characters from the
OSD font) offers more flexibility and looks better. This also adds
chapter marks to the OSD bar, which are visible as small triangles on
the top and bottom inner border of the bar.
Change the default position of the OSD bar below the center of the
screen. This is less annoying than putting the bar directly into the
center of the view, where it obscures the video. The new position is
not quite on the bottom of the screen to avoid collisions with
subtitles.
The old centered position can be forced with ``--osd-bar-align-y=0``.
Also make it possible to change the OSD bar width/height with the new
--osd-bar-w and --osd-bar-h options.
It's possible that the new OSD bar renders much slower than the old
one. There are two reasons for this: 1. the character based bar
allowed libass to cache each character, while the vector drawing forces
it to redraw every time the bar position changes. 2., the bar position
is updated at a much higher granularity (the bar position is passed
along as float instead of as integer in the range 0-100, so the bar
will be updated on every single video frame).
Move them into per-instance structs. This should get rid of all global
variables in mplayer.c (not counting those referenced by cfg-mplayer.h).
In core/input/ar.c, just remove checking the slave_mode variable. I'm
not sure what this code was supposed to achieve, but slave mode is
broken, slave mode is actually infeasible on OSX (ar.c is completely OSX
specific), and the correct way of doing this would be to disable this
input device per command line switch.
Latest nvidia drivers ignore the application setting, so this switch
makes even less sense than before. It's still possible to control this
with VO specific suboptions.
Separate the video output options from the big MPOpts structure and also only
pass the new mp_vo_opts structure to the vo backend.
Move video_driver_list into mp_vo_opts
The spdif decoder was hardcoded to assume that the spdif output is
capable of accepting high (>1.5Mbps) bitrates. While this is true
for modern HDMI spdif interfaces, the original coax/toslink system
cannot deal with this and will fail to work.
This patch adds an option --dtshd which can be enabled if you use
a DTS-capable receiver behind a HDMI link.
Removes almost every global variabel in vo.h and puts them in a special struct
in MPOpts for video output related options.
Also we completly remove the options/globals pts and refresh rate because
they were unused.
Change the option definition macros so that they cause compiler warnings
if the type of the referenced option struct member doesn't match the
type implied by the macro. The compiler warning printed isn't very
telling, but it's better than silently invoking undefined behavior by
violating the C strict aliasing rules.
Also fix some minor cases that violate the type rules. For the option
"no-aspect" we have to add a new option type to handle it properly.
Some option types are hard to check, so we don't in these cases.
This allowed making the player switch the monitor video mode when
creating the video window. This was a questionable feature, and with
today's LCD screens certainly not useful anymore. Switching to a random
video mode (going by video width/height) doesn't sound too useful
either.
I'm not sure about the win32 implementation, but the X part had several
bugs. Even in mplayer-svn (where x11_common.c hasn't been receiving any
larger changes for a long time), this code is buggy and doesn't do the
right thing anyway. (And what the hell _did_ it do when using multiple
physical monitors?)
If you really want this, write a shell script that calls xrandr before
and after calling mpv.
vo_sdl still can do mode switching, because SDL has native support for
it, and using it is trivial. Add a new sub-option for this.
`--fs-screen` allows to decide what display to go fullscreen into. The
semantics of `--screen` changed and now it is only used to select the windowed
display when starting the application.
This is useful for people using mpv with an external TV. They will start
windowed on their laptop's screen and switch to fullscreen on the TV.
@wm4 worked on the x11 and w32 parts of the code. All is squashed in one
commit for history clarity.
Use codec names instead of FourCCs to identify codecs. Rewrite how
codecs are selected and initialized. Now each decoder exports a list
of decoders (and the codec it supports) via add_decoders(). The order
matters, and the first decoder for a given decoder is preferred over
the other decoders. E.g. all ad_mpg123 decoders are preferred over
ad_lavc, because it comes first in the mpcodecs_ad_drivers array.
Likewise, decoders within ad_lavc that are enumerated first by
libavcodec (using av_codec_next()) are preferred. (This is actually
critical to select h264 software decoding by default instead of vdpau.
libavcodec and ffmpeg/avconv use the same method to select decoders by
default, so we hope this is sane.)
The codec names follow libavcodec's codec names as defined by
AVCodecDescriptor.name (see libavcodec/codec_desc.c). Some decoders
have names different from the canonical codec name. The AVCodecDescriptor
API is relatively new, so we need a compatibility layer for older
libavcodec versions for codec names that are referenced internally,
and which are different from the decoder name. (Add a configure check
for that, because checking versions is getting way too messy.)
demux/codec_tags.c is generated from the former codecs.conf (minus
"special" decoders like vdpau, and excluding the mappings that are the
same as the mappings libavformat's exported RIFF tables). It contains
all the mappings from FourCCs to codec name. This is needed for
demux_mkv, demux_mpg, demux_avi and demux_asf. demux_lavf will set the
codec as determined by libavformat, while the other demuxers have to do
this on their own, using the mp_set_audio/video_codec_from_tag()
functions. Note that the sh_audio/video->format members don't uniquely
identify the codec anymore, and sh->codec takes over this role.
Replace the --ac/--vc/--afm/--vfm with new --vd/--ad options, which
provide cover the functionality of the removed switched.
Note: there's no CODECS_FLAG_FLIP flag anymore. This means some obscure
container/video combinations (e.g. the sample Film_200_zygo_pro.mov)
are played flipped. ffplay/avplay doesn't handle this properly either,
so we don't care and blame ffmeg/libav instead.
Simplify --no-config and make it a normal flag option, and doesn't take
an argument anymore. You can get the same behavior by using --no-config
and then --include to explicitly load a certain config file.
Make --no-config work for input.conf as well. Make it so that
--input:conf=file still works in this case. As a technically unrelated
change, the file argument now works as one would expect, instead of
making it relatively to "~/.mpv/". This makes for simpler code and
easier to understand option semantics. We can also print better error
messages.
Move things that are used by vo_xv only into vo_xv, same for vo_x11.
Rename some functions exported by x11_common, like vo_init to
vo_x11_common. Make functions not used outsode of x11_common.c private
to that file. Eliminate all global variables defined by x11_common
(except error handler and colormap stuff).
There shouldn't be any functional changes, and only code is moved
around. There are some minor simplifications in the X11 init code, as
we completely remove the ability to initialize X11 and X11+VO
separately (see commit b4d9647 "mplayer: do not create X11 state in player frontend"),
and the respective functions are conflated into vo_x11_init() and
vo_x11_uninit().
