Also some other cosmetic changes. And reformat the two remaining doxygen
comments.
Removing MSGLEN in x11_errorhandler() is technically not just a cosmetic
change, but the result is the same anyway.
The string is deallocated by the callee after initialization, so
fallback at runtime passes a deallocated string to libavcodec, which
results in random crashes. Regression introduced by commit 4d016a9.
Being able to insert newline characters ("\n") is useful for
--osd-status-msg, and possibly also for anything that prints to the
terminal. Espcially --term-osd-esc looks relatively useless without
being able to specify escapes.
Maybe parsing escapes should happen during command line / config parsing
instead (for all options).
This was supposed to be fixed in f897138, but there's another corner
case. Basically, set_osd_function() reset the OSD time, which is not
nice at all and breaks the logic of letting OSD elements disappear when
they're not wanted anymore. Fix this by adding a separate timer for
this.
Additionally, make sure the OSD bar is _really_ always updated when
visible. Also, redraw the OSD only if the OSD bar actually changes to
prevent redrawing too often (every vo_osd_changed() will flag that the
OSD should be redrawn, even if nothing changes).
Increase robustness against out of bound chapter numbers. Normally
these functions expect that the callers sanitize the chapter number.
This went wrong at least in add_seek_osd_messages() (which displayed
a chapter "-1" when chapters were not available). Make these functions
a bit friendler and add some reasonable checks and fallbacks, which
fixes the mentioned chapter seeking case as well.
Fixes#29. When a user used dead input keys (like the accent key), `mpv`
crashed because the code tried to access the 0 element of a characters array
(which was empty).
While I was closing this bug, I refactored some related conditionals to
make the code more readable.
Seeking before the start of a .flac file (such as seeking backwards when
the file just started) generates a bunch of decoding errors and audible
artifacts. Also, the audio output doesn't match the reported playback
position. The errors printed to the terminal are:
[flac @ 0x8aca1c0]invalid sync code
[flac @ 0x8aca1c0]invalid frame header
[flac @ 0x8aca1c0]decode_frame() failed
This is most likely a problem with the libavformat API. When seeking
with av_seek_frame() fails, the demuxer can be left in an inconsistent
state. ffplay has the same issue [1].
Older versions of mpv somehow handled this fine. Bisection shows that
commit b3fb7c2 caused this regression by removing code that retried
failed seeks with an inverted AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWARD flag. This code was
removed because it made it harder to stop playback of a file by seeking
past the end of the file (expecting this is rather natural when skipping
through multiple files by seeking, and the internal mplayer demuxers
also did this).
As a workaround, re-add the original code, but only for the backwards
seeking case.
Also note that the original intention of the code removed in b3fb7c2 was
not dealing with this case, but something else. It also had to do with
working around weird libavformat situations, though. It's not perfectly
clear what exactly. See commit 1ad332f.
[1] https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/ticket/2282
Printed "error parsing option profile-desc=..." when using that inside
of profile sections. This happened because we now check the presence of
an option before setting it, and profile-desc is not an option, but
special cased in the config parser.
This affects the "show_progress" command, by defualt on the 'P' key.
If there are complaints, I'll probably remove it again. (It looks
relatively annoying, but it also valueable information... sort of.)
Until now, setting a property that is not available (e.g. deinterlacing
if not using vdpau and no deinterlacing filter is inserted) silently
failed (except for a messager on the terminal). Instead show on the OSD
that the property is unavailable.
Seeks can be performed with OSD bar invisible (e.g. "osd-msg seek ..."
command), and then an already visible bar won't be updated. But the bar
will stick around until the OSD text is hidden. This is confusing, so
change it that the bar is updated. (Making the bar disappear on such
seeks would require much more changes, so we're lazy and go with this
commit.)
Commit 4a40eed "options: change handling of "no-" options" generally
improved the handling of automatically added negation options
(recognizing "--no-opt", even though only "--opt" is declared in the
option list).
Unfortunately, one corner case was missed, which broke the option
"--input=no-default-bindings" (other suboptions, e.g. VO suboptions,
were not affected, and this is the only option where this mattered).
Instead of increasing the complexity further, use a completely different
approach: add the "--no-" options at runtime, and make them behave like
real options. This approach could be considered slightly less elegant,
because the code now has to worry about some option implementation
details rather than leaving it to the parser, but all in all the new
code is simpler and there are less weird corner cases to worry about.
Apparently this cuases trouble for legacy demuxers. demux_mpg stopped
doing PCM audio. (The problem was probably that it read a bunch of
video packets on detection, and then the sparse video hack prevented
audio packets from being read, because it looked like there were no
more audio packets. With sparse video, this normally helps not reading
too many audio packets.)
Since the legacy demuxers do not need this hack, enable it for
demux_lavf and demux_mkv only.
Some additional hacks that were needed to handle legacy demuxers can be
removed, making the code simpler.
Also see commit 4a40eed.
There should be no functional changes, except that way how avoiding
spamming the terminal with the overflow warning is handled changes a
bit.
The removed check for ds->eof looks suspicious, but it should be
redundant now.
The seek bar appeared to be "stuck" to the start of the current chapter.
This is a regression from 630a2b1. This commit assumed that hrseek_pts
would always contain the hrseek target time (when hrseek_active==true).
But this is not always the case: when playing timeline stuff (e.g.
ordered chapters), hrseek framedropping is abused to handle an obscure
corner case, and then hrseek_pts contains something completely unrelated
to the current playback time. See the added comment in mplayer.c and
commit c1232c9.
Fix this by trying something else to get a correct time "during"
hr-seeks. mpctx->restart_playback looks ideal, because it's set while
audio is being synced / audio buffers being filled, so we know that the
audio time is probably bogus while it is set. Let's hope this is
correct.
Do this to reduce conflicts with <linux/input.h>, which contains some
conflicting defines.
This changes the meaning of MP_KEY_DOWN:
KEY_DOWN is renamed to MP_KEY_DOWN (cursor down key)
MP_KEY_DOWN is renamed to MP_KEY_STATE_DOWN (modifier for key down state)
int64_t was accidentally used with "%lld" format specifiers, which is
incorrect (even though long long int is always 64 bits, the type behind
int64_t can be different, e.g. it can be long int on 64 bit platforms).
Commit 4d016a9 changed how demuxers report the codec of each stream.
Some of that was missed in video.c, which is important for legacy
demuxers (demux_mpg was broken by this, which is needed for DVD
playback).
Not sure about the ASF/AVI related change, but this is also a legacy
demuxers only codepath.
The previous name of this filter was misleading, because it doesn’t actually
normalize volume levels. What it does is closer to performing low-quality
dynamic range compression, hence it is now called af_drc.
Commit 4d016a9 added some configure tests using statement_check.
They wrongly used $_ld_tmp, which causes random failure, depending on
whether the previous test using $_ld_tmp was successful. This happened
because I blindly copied the statement_checks from somewhere else.
Fix them.
Instead of putting codec header data into WAVEFORMATEX and
BITMAPINFOHEADER, pass it directly via AVCodecContext. To do this, we
add mp_copy_lav_codec_headers(), which copies the codec header data
from one AVCodecContext to another (originally, the plan was to use
avcodec_copy_context() for this, but it looks like this would turn
decoder initialization into an even worse mess).
Get rid of the silly CodecID <-> codec_tag mapping. This was originally
needed for codecs.conf: codec tags were used to identify codecs, but
libavformat didn't always return useful codec tags (different file
formats can have different, overlapping tag numbers). Since we don't
go through WAVEFORMATEX etc. and pass all header data directly via
AVCodecContext, we can be absolutely sure that the codec tag mapping is
not needed anymore.
Note that this also destroys the "standard" MPlayer method of exporting
codec header data. WAVEFORMATEX and BITMAPINFOHEADER made sure that
other non-libavcodec decoders could be initialized. However, all these
decoders have been removed, so this is just cruft full of old hacks that
are not needed anymore. There's still ad_spdif and ad_mpg123, bu neither
of these need codec header data. Should we ever add non-libavcodec
decoders, better data structures without the past hacks could be added
to export the headers.
Rearrange some code to make it easier readable. Remove some dead code,
and stop printing AVI headers in demux_lavf. (These are not actual AVI
headers, just for internal use.)
There should be no functional changes, other than reducing output in
verbose mode.
Also move the lang field into the general stream header. (SH_COMMON is
an old hack to "share" code between audio/video/sub headers.)
There should be no functional changes, other than not printing stream
info in verbose mode or with slave mode. (The frontend already prints
stream info, and this is just a leftover when individual demuxers did
this, and slave mode remains broken.)
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.
Doesn't have much of a purpose for normal playback. You can get
milliseconds display with --osd-fractions. It's also possible to build
a custom status line with --status-msg.
This gives more space on the status line and, in my opinion, is a bit
less annoying.
OPT_MAKE_FLAGS() used to emit two options (one with "no" prefixed),
but that has been long removed by special casing flag options in the
option parser. OPT_FLAG_ON() used to imply that there's no "no-"
prefixed option, but this hasn't been the case for a while either.
(Conceptually, it has been replaced by OPT_FLAG_STORE().)
Remove OPT_FLAG_OFF, which was unused.
There were two option syntax variations:
"old": -opt value
"new": --opt=value
"-opt=value" was invalid, and "--opt value" meant "--opt=" followed by
a separate option "value" (i.e. interpreted as filename). There isn't
really any reason to do this. The "old" syntax used to be ambiguous
(you had to call the option parser to know whether the following
argument is an option value or a new option), but that has been removed.
Further, using "=" in the option string is always unambiguous.
Since the distinction between the two option variants is confusing,
just remove the difference and allow "--opt value" and "-opt=value".
To make this easier, do some other cleanups as well (e.g. avoid having
to do a manual lookup of the option just to check for M_OPT_PRE_PARSE,
which somehow ended up with finally getting rid of the m_config.mode
member).
Error reporting is still a mess, and we opt for reporting too many
rather than too few errors to the user.
There shouldn't be many user-visible changes. The --framedrop and
--term-osd options now always require parameters.
The --mute option is intentionally made ambiguous: it works like a flag
option, but a value can be passed to it explicitly ("--mute=auto"). If
the interpretation of the option is ambiguous (like "--mute auto"), the
second string is interpreted as separate option or filename. (Normal
flag options are actually ambiguous in this way too.)
Now setting a value with "=" is not required anymore in config files.
This should work analogous to command line arguments. Putting an entry
"opt=value" into the config file is like "--opt=value" on the command
line, and "opt" is like "--opt=" and "--opt".
Normally, all flag options can be negated by prepending a "no-", for
example "--no-opt" becomes "--opt=no". Some flag options can't actually
be negated, so add a CONF_TYPE_STORE option type to disallow the "no-"
fallback.
Do the same for choice options. Remove the explicit "no-" prefixed
options, add "no" as choice.
Move the handling of automatic "no-" options from parser-mpcmd.c to
m_config.c, and use it in m_config_set_option/m_config_parse_option.
This makes these options available in the config file. It also
simplifies sub-option parsing, because it doesn't need to handle "no-"
anymore.
mpv -ao help and mpv -vo help shouldn't show the encoding outputs (named
"lavc" on both cases). Also make it impossible to select these manually
when not encoding.
Basically, move vo_opengl above the other VOs (except vo_vdpau). This
changes preferences on Windows and Linux.
Move vo_opengl_old further down and make it the last fallback (before
vo_x11).
vo_caca is crap (no pun intended), and should never be autoprobed.
On Linux, ao_portaudio has weird freezing issues (possibly specific to
the ALSA backend, though). Also ao_dsound is more likely to get multi-
channel audio output right, and ao_portaudio probably mangles these.
