Very primitive and dumb, but fulfils its purpose for the next commits.
I chose this specific implementation because it has the lowest footprint
in command.c, without resorting to crazy hacks such as sending messages
between scripts (which would be hard to coordinate especially on
startup).
I don't even know anymore whether this was intended or not. Certain use
cases for the "-o" options might require this. These options are for
passing general FFmpeg options. These are translated to av_opt_set()
calls, which may or may not accumulate the option values on multiple
calls with the same option name (how should I know?).
Anyway, it seems crazy to allow non-unique keys, so make them unique.
The ad-hoc nature of the option code makes this wonderfully complicated
(when I wrote that this code is cursed, I meant it). In combination with
lazy testing, it probably means there are lots of bugs here.
Whenever I deal with this, I have to look at the code to make sense of
this. And beyond that, there are some strange inconsistencies. (I think
this code is cursed. It always was, and maybe always will be.)
Although the manpage claimed that using multiple items for -add etc. is
deprecated, string list options didn't warn against it. So add the
warning, and add something in the changelog (even though nobody will
ever read this).
The manpage mentioned --vf-append, but this didn't even exist. So add
it, I guess. We encourage using -append for the other option types, so
for consistency, it should work on filter options. (And I already
tricked me into believing it existed when I mentioned it in the
manpage.)
Make the "operations" table separate for all option types, and mention
the option type on every single of the top-level list options.
This is similar to the "edition" change.
I considered making this go through deprecation, but didn't have a good
idea how to do that. Maybe it's fine, because this is pretty obscure.
But it might break some API users/scripts (it certainly broke
stats.lua), and all I have to say is sorry for that.
See manpage/changelog changes.
The purpose of this change is to removes another case of inconsistent
property behavior. At first I wanted to make this go through deprecation
before making a technically incompatible change, but then I considered
this feature too obscure as that anyone would care.
the Apple Remote has long been deprecated and abandoned by Apple.
current macs don't come with support for it anymore. support might be
re-added with the next commit.
Seems like this was silently changed to enabled by default on the change
to libplacebo, without adjusting the manpage. Fix the documented
default.
Also add a comment about Nvidia; see referenced issue.
Fixes: #7245
Merged from mpv-repl git repo commit 5ea2bf64f9c239f0326b02. Some
changes were made on top of it:
- Tabs were converted to 4 spaces indentation (plus some manual
indentation fixes in some places).
- All user-visible mentions of "repl" were renamed to "console".
- The README was converted to a manpage (with heavy changes, some
additions taken from stats.rst; rossy converted the key bindings
table to RST).
- The method to change the default key binding was changed.
- Change minor detail about "font" default value setting (not a
functional change).
- Integrate into the player as builtin script, including an option to
prevent loading it.

To aid in discoverability, and to address the most common case
directly, I'm adding an 'auto' mode for the window controls. In
this case, we will show the controls if there is no window border
and hide them if there are borders. This also respects the option
being toggled at runtime.
To ensure that it works in the wayland case, I've also made sure
that the wayland code explicitly forces the option to false if
decoration support is missing.
Based on feedback, I've split the config in two, with one option
for whether controls are active, and one for alignment. These are
new enough that we can get away with ignoring compatibility.
The demuxer_id (exported in as "src-id" property) is supposed to be the
native stream ID, as it exists in the file, or -1 if that does not exist
(actually any negative value), or if it is unknown.
Until now, an ID was made up if it was missing. That seems like strange
non-sense, and I can't find the reason why it was done. But it was
probably for convenience by the EDL stuff or so.
Stop doing this. Fortunately, the src-id property was documented as
being unavailable if the ID is not known. Even the code for this was
present, it was just inactive until now. Extend input.rst with some
explanations.
Also fixing 3 other places where negative demuxer_id was ignored or
avoided.
Pretty annoying affair. The vo_gpu code could of course not trigger
rendering from filters yet, so it needed to be extended. Also, this uses
some icky stuff made for vf_sub (and this was the reason I marked vf_sub
as deprecated), so everything is terrible.
It seems logical to account for the window controls if `boxvideo`
is in use (which has the effect of reducing the size of the video
so that the osc is not covering the video).
Probably pretty useless in this form (see: the wall of warnings), but
someone wanted this.
I think this should be useful to perform some automated tests, maybe.
Fixes: #7194
Today, if window decorations are not present, either because they were
disabled, or because the platform doesn't support them
(eg: gnome-shell on wayland), there are no window controls, meaning it
is not possible to minimize/maximize/close a window without knowing
keyboard shortcuts.
While you can imagine various ways of offering client side decorations,
it is attractive to consider using OSC because that is functionality
that we already have.
The main work here is defining a separate input area from the main
OSC box with its own buttons, etc.
While we could probably handle auto-detection based on whether
decorations are present or not, it's manually controlled for now.
The window control logic is mostly disconnected from the OSC itself,
except in the case of the `topbar` layout, where there has to be
coordination so that the controls don't get drawn on top of each other.
I had to do fine-positioning of the buttons based on the font on
my system, so don't be surprised if it looks wrong elsewhere.
You could also argue that window controls should be unscaled, even
if the main OSC box is scaled, but I've not tried to do this.
The behavior is slightly different in a messy way. The change is in line
with the option-to-property bridge removal mentioned some commits ago
and thus is deemed necessary.
These properties actually were removed/replaced, so there is no conflict
with the options of the same name anymore. For example, there is no
"audio-file" property anymore, but you still can set "audio-files" (and
--audio-file simply maps to --audio-files-append).
add_key_binding() makes the name argument optional (in weird Lua
fashion), which did not work if there were additional arguments. So
there is no way to avoid specifying a name while passing a rp argument.
Fix this, declare this way of skipping the argument as deprecated, and
allow passing name=nil as the preferred way to skip the name argument.
This is supposed to turn input.conf comments into inline documentation.
Whether this will be useful depends on whether there'll be a script
using this field.
This changes a small aspect of input.conf parsing fundamentally: this
attempts to strip comments/whitespace from the command string, which
will later be used to generate the command when a key binding is
executed. This should not have any negative effects, but there could be
unknown bugs. (For some reason, every command is parsed when input.conf
is parsed, but it still only stores the string for the command. I guess
that saves some minor amount of memory.)
Read-only information about all bindings. Somewhat hoping someone can
make a nice GUI-like overlay thing for it, which provides information
about mapped keys.
Particularly for "any_unicode" mappings, so they don't have to
special-case keys like '#' and ' ', which are normally mapped to
symbolic names for input.conf reasons. (Though admittedly, this is a
pretty minor thing, since API users could map these manually.)
The key is never nil if it's invoked through the normal input path. The
key name could be "" if mp_cmd.key_name==NULL. This should not happen,
but there's no strong guarantee in input.c that it cannot happen, so
whatever.
The intended target for this is the mpv.repl script, which manually
added every single ASCII key as a separate key binding. This provides a
simpler mechanism, that will catch any kind of text input.
Due to its special nature, explicitly do not give a guarantee for
compatibility; thus the warning in input.rst.
I often watch sporting events. On many occasions I get files with the
same filename for each session. For example, for F1 I might have the
following directory structure:
F1/
FP1.mkv
FP2.mkv
FP3.mkv
Qualification.mkv
Race.mkv
Since usually one simply watches one race after the other, I usually
just rsync the new event's files over the old ones, so, for example,
Race.mkv will be replaced from the file for the last event with the file
from the new event.
One problem with this is that I like to use --resume-playback for other
kinds of media, so I have it on by default. That works great for, say, a
movie, but doesn't work so well with this scheme, because you can
trivially forget to pass --no-resume-playback on the command line and
end up 2 hours in, watching spoilers as the race results scroll down the
screen :-)
This patch adds a new option, --resume-playback-check-mtime, which
validates that the file's mtime hasn't changed since the watch_later
configuration was saved. It does this by setting the watch_later
configuration to have the same mtime as the file after it is saved.
Switching back and forth between checking mtime and not checking mtime
works fine, as we only choose whether to compare based on it, but we
update the watch_later configuration mtime regardless of its value.
These were a bad idea and are obscure. Scripting key mapping support
still uses them, but this is not relevant to scripting authors, because
the mpv provided helper code (defaults.lua) takes care of this. In
addition, the OSC uses a legacy form of this.
Hopefully, this input section stuff can be removed, and replaced by a
simpler mechanism.
Give an overview over the various methods. I feel like I've written text
like this over and over again (compatibility.rst and
interface-changes.rst for example duplicate the list of mpv API
abstractions), but such is life in hell.
Use this in particular to strongly suggest not to parse terminal output.
This suggestion got lost or de-emphasized at some point (maybe when
removing MPlayer and "slave mode" references). Some of this text is
still there, but it can be considered "fine print" at best, that nobody
will see. Now we have it in a more prominent place. This is especially
important since MPlayer-style use of mpv still seems to be prevalent,
see for example #7153.
I have no idea why this still exists, since we have --input-ipc-server.
I think there was something about Windows, but the latter option is
implemented even on Windows.
It sometimes happens that HLS streams freeze because the HTTP server is
not responding for a fragment (or something similar, the exact
circumstances are unknown). The --timeout option didn't affect this,
because it's never set on HLS recursive connections (these download the
fragments, while the main connection likely nothing and just wastes a
TCP socket).
Apply an elaborate hack on top of an existing elaborate hack to somehow
get these options set. Of course this could still break easily, but hey,
it's ffmpeg, it can't not try to fuck you over. I'm so fucking sick of
ffmpeg's API bullshit, especially wrt. HLS.
Of course the change is sort of pointless. For HLS, GET requests should
just aggressively retried (because they're not "streamed", they're just
actual files on a CDN), while normal HTTP connections should probably
not be made this fragile (they could be streamed, i.e. they are backed
by some sort of real time encoder, and block if there is no data yet).
The 1 minute default timeout is too high to save playback if this
happens with HLS.
Vaguely related to #5793.
Until now, we've made FFmpeg use the default network timeout - which is
apparently infinite. I don't know if this was changed at some point,
although it seems likely, as I was sure there was a more useful default.
For most use cases, a smaller timeout is more useful (for example
recording something in the background), so force a timeout of 1 minute.
See: #5793
Until now, each .c file in test/ was built as separate, self-contained
binary. Each binary could be run to execute the tests it contained.
Change this and make them part of the normal mpv binary. Now the tests
have to be invoked via the --unittest option. Do this for two reasons:
- Tests now run within a "properly" initialized mpv instance, so all
services are available.
- Possibly simplifying the situation for future build systems.
The first point is the main motivation. The mpv code is entangled with
mp_log and the option system. It feels like a bad idea to duplicate some
of the initialization of this just so you can call code using them.
I'm also getting rid of cmocka. There wouldn't be any problem to keep it
(it's a perfectly sane set of helpers), but NIH calls. I would have had
to aggregate all tests into a CMUnitTest list, and I don't see how I'd
get different types of entry points easily. Probably easily solvable,
but since we made only pretty basic use of this library, NIH-ing this is
actually easier (I needed a list of tests with custom metadata anyway,
so all what was left was reimplement the assert_* helpers).
Unit tests now don't output anything, and if they fail, they'll simply
crash and leave a message that typically requires inspecting the test
code to figure out what went wrong (and probably editing the test code
to get more information). I even merged the various test functions into
single ones. Sucks, but here you go.
chmap_sel.c is merged into chmap.c, because I didn't see the point of
this being separate. json.c drops the print_message() to go along with
the new silent-by-default idea, also there's a memory leak fix unrelated
to the rest of this commit.
The new code is enabled with --enable-tests (--enable-test goes away).
Due to waf's option parser, --enable-test still works, because it's a
unique prefix to --enable-tests.
The use of glXGetCurrentDisplay() restricted this to the GLX backend.
But actually it works under EGL as well. Removing the GLX-specific call
and using the general mpv-internal method to get the X "Display" makes
it work in mpv.
I didn't know this. Nvidia didn't list this as extension in the EGL
context when I still used their GPUs.
Note that this might in theory break use of vdpau in some libmpv clients
using the render API. But only if MPV_RENDER_PARAM_X11_DISPLAY is not
used, and they relied on mpv using glXGetCurrentDisplay(). EGL does not
provide such an API, and hwdec_vaapi.c also uses what hwdec_vdpau.c uses
now. Considering that vaapi is preferable these days, it's not bad at
all if these clients get "broken". They can be easily fixed by passing
the display to mpv correctly.
(Only half of the buffer is actually used in a useful way, see manpage
or commit which added the option.)
Might have some advantages with broken network filesystem drivers.
See: #6802
In some corner cases (see #6802), it can be beneficial to use a larger
stream buffer size. Use this as argument to rewrite everything for no
reason.
Turn stream.c itself into a ring buffer, with configurable size. The
latter would have been easily achievable with minimal changes, and the
ring buffer is the hard part. There is no reason to have a ring buffer
at all, except possibly if ffmpeg don't fix their awful mp4 demuxer, and
some subtle issues with demux_mkv.c wanting to seek back by small
offsets (the latter was handled with small stream_peek() calls, which
are unneeded now).
In addition, this turns small forward seeks into reads (where data is
simply skipped). Before this commit, only stream_skip() did this (which
also mean that stream_skip() simply calls stream_seek() now).
Replace all stream_peek() calls with something else (usually
stream_read_peek()). The function was a problem, because it returned a
pointer to the internal buffer, which is now a ring buffer with
wrapping. The new function just copies the data into a buffer, and in
some cases requires callers to dynamically allocate memory. (The most
common case, demux_lavf.c, required a separate buffer allocation anyway
due to FFmpeg "idiosyncrasies".) This is the bulk of the demuxer_*
changes.
I'm not happy with this. There still isn't a good reason why there
should be a ring buffer, that is complex, and most of the time just
wastes half of the available memory. Maybe another rewrite soon.
It also contains bugs; you're an alpha tester now.
tv:// and pvr:// are gone, DVD almost. The former didn't really have any
uses left, except webcams. Provide a replacement example for that.
We don't need a separate section for DVD. If you use DVD, you're on your
own. There's still enough documentation left to puzzle things together
even if you don't read the source code.
