Until now, there was only 1 global ASS overlay that could be set by all
scripts. This was often perceived as bug when multiple scripts tried to
set their own ASS overlay.
This was kind of hard to solve because the script could set its own ASS
PlayResX/Y, which makes it impossible to share a single ASS_Renderer for
multiple scripts. The OSC unfortunately makes use of this feature (and
unfortunately can't be fixed because it's a POS), so we're stuck with
this complication.
Implement the worst-case solution and fix this by creating separate ASS
track and renderer objects for each script that wants to set an ASS
overlay.
The z-order is decided by the order the scripts set their text first.
This is essentially random, unless you do it at script init, and you
pass scripts in a specific order. Script initialization is currently
serialized (as a feature), so the first loaded script gets lowest
Z-order.
The Lua script API interestingly remains the same. (And also will remain
undocumented, unsupported, and potentially volatile.)
Instead of passing an explicit cache to the function, the res parameter
is used. Also, instead of replacing its contents, sub bitmaps are now
appended to it (all assuming the format doesn't actually change).
This is preparation for the following commits.
Do not scale OSD mouse input to the ASS OSD script resolution. The
original idea of this mechanism was that the user doesn't have to care
about the actual resolution of anything, and can just use the OSD
resolution consistently. But this made things worse.
Remove the implicit scaling, and always use the screen resolution.
(Except with --vo=xv, where additional scaling is forced upon
everything.)
Drop get_osd_resolution(). There is no replacement. Rename
get_screen_size() and get_screen_margins() to use "osd" instead of
"screen". For anything but --vo=xv these are equivalent, but with
--vo=xv the OSD resolution has additional implicit scaling.
Add code to osc.lua which emulates the old behavior.
Note that none of the changed functions were public API, so implicit
breakage of scripts which used it is just going to happen.
This covers source files which were added in mplayer2 and mpv times
only, and where all code is covered by LGPL relicensing agreements.
There are probably more files to which this applies, but I'm being
conservative here.
A file named ao_sdl.c exists in MPlayer too, but the mpv one is a
complete rewrite, and was added some time after the original ao_sdl.c
was removed. The same applies to vo_sdl.c, for which the SDL2 API is
radically different in addition (MPlayer supports SDL 1.2 only).
common.c contains only code written by me. But common.h is a strange
case: although it originally was named mp_common.h and exists in MPlayer
too, by now it contains only definitions written by uau and me. The
exceptions are the CONTROL_ defines - thus not changing the license of
common.h yet.
codec_tags.c contained once large tables generated from MPlayer's
codecs.conf, but all of these tables were removed.
From demux_playlist.c I'm removing a code fragment from someone who was
not asked; this probably could be done later (see commit 15dccc37).
misc.c is a bit complicated to reason about (it was split off mplayer.c
and thus contains random functions out of this file), but actually all
functions have been added post-MPlayer. Except get_relative_time(),
which was written by uau, but looks similar to 3 different versions of
something similar in each of the Unix/win32/OSX timer source files. I'm
not sure what that means in regards to copyright, so I've just moved it
into another still-GPL source file for now.
screenshot.c once had some minor parts of MPlayer's vf_screenshot.c, but
they're all gone.
Commit 2b07d3eb merged progbar and OSD text renderer into one ASS_Track,
but it confused the styles. Specifically, if both progbar and OSD are
visible, the create_ass_track() call made by the progbar code will reset
the style adjusted by the OSD text code.
Change create_ass_track() not to add any styles. Instead let the caller
manage the styles. They are now referenced by name, and lazily added if
they don't exist yet. This is also much cleaner.
Reduces memory usage and startup times. The implementation is a bit
weird, because both OSD parts have conflicting requirements on the used
ASS styles.
This was used with --no-sub-ass (aka --no-ass). This option (which is
not yet removed) strips all styling from the subtitles, and renders them
as plaintext only. For some reason, it originally seemed convenient to
reuse all the OSD text rendering code (osd_libass.c). While this was
indeed simple, it had a bad influence on the rest of the code. For
example, it had to decide whether to go through the OSD code path, or
the proper subtitle renderer in sd_ass.c.
Kill the OSD subtitle renderer. Reimplement --no-sub-ass and also
"secondary" subtitles in sd_ass.c. fill_plaintext() contains some rather
minor code duplication with osd_libass.c for setting up a dummy
ASS_Event and escaping the stripped text. Since sd_ass.c already has to
handle "normal" text subtitles, and has code for stripping ASS tags,
this remains all relatively simple.
Remove all the unnecessary crap from the rest of the code.
Until now, most OSD objects created the associated ASS_Renderer instance
as soon as possible, even if nothing was going to be rendered. Maybe
this was even intentional.
Change this for the sake of lowering resource usage, and strictly
initialize ASS_Renderer only when it's really needed.
For the OSC, initialization has to be forced, because of the insane
mechanism for translating mouse coordinates to OSD coordinates.
Overwrite the alignment applied by the OSD style. Additionally, remove
the initialization of the Alignment field in create_ass_track(); the
value is always overwritten by mp_ass_set_style() later.
Fixes#1626.
There was some logic to set certain things on init only. Not sure why
this was done (saving some cheap calculations?) - but since the next
call would override these style settings by applying the usual subtitle
style, I don't think this was intended.
Makeshift-solution for working around certain fontconfig issues.
With --use-text-osd=no, libass and fontconfig won't be initialized, and
fontconfig won't block everything with scanning for fonts.
The one in msg.c was mistakenly removed with commit e99a37f6.
I didn't actually test the change in ao_sndio.c (but obviously "ap"
shouldn't be static).
We don't allow this by default, because it would be silly if random
external data (like filenames or file tags) could accidentally trigger
them.
Add a property that magically disables this ASS tag escaping.
Note that malicious input could still disable ASS tag escaping by
itself. This would be annoying but harmless.
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
Do two things:
1. add locking to struct osd_state
2. make struct osd_state opaque
While 1. is somewhat simple, 2. is quite horrible. Lots of code accesses
lots of osd_state (and osd_object) members. To make sure everything is
accessed synchronously, I prefer making osd_state opaque, even if it
means adding pretty dumb accessors.
All of this is meant to allow running VO in their own threads.
Eventually, VOs will request OSD on their own, which means osd_state
will be accessed from foreign threads.
This is relatively hacky, but it's Christmas, so it's ok. This does two
things: 1. allow selecting two subtitle tracks, and 2. include a hack
that renders the second subtitle always as toptitle. See manpage
additions how to use this.
Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
The OSD style settings depend on the PlayRes, simply because all style
values are implicitly scaled by the PlayResY in libass. Also, the OSC
changes the PlayResY in certain situations, so something could go wrong.
But not sure if this actually matters in practice.
This simplifies things, although it is slightly less efficient (probably
uses a bit more memory).
This also happens to fix that the OSC dropped the libass cache on every
frame.
This is pretty much a hack for the OSC. It will allow it to rely on a
somewhat predictable style, instead of having to overwrite all user
OSD settings manually with override tags.
This is preliminary. There are still tons of issues, and any aspect
of scripting may change in the future. I decided to merge this
(preliminary) work now because it makes it easier to develop it, not
because it's done. lua.rst is clear enough about it (plus some
sarcasm).
This requires linking to Lua. Lua has no official pkg-config file, but
there are distribution specific .pc files, all with different names.
Adding a non-pkg-config based configure test was considered, but we'd
rather not.
One major complication is that libquvi links against Lua too, and if
the Lua version is different from mpv's, you will get a crash as soon
as libquvi uses Lua. (libquvi by design always runs when a file is
opened.) I would consider this the problem of distros and whoever
builds mpv, but to make things easier for users, we add a terrible
runtime test to the configure script, which probes whether libquvi
will crash. This is disabled when cross-compiling, but in that case
we hope the user knows what he is doing.
Cherry picked from various commits in lua_experiment by ChrisK2.
The metrics of the OSD symbols change slightly, possibly due to the
font editor that was used, and the metrics were not correct to begin
with. (But the real reason seems unknown.) Remove the rescaling of
the OSD font in ASS_USE_OSD_FONT, because the height more or less fits
now. (This change wasn't in the lua_experiment branch.)
The -no-ass switch used to disable any use of libass for text subtitles.
This is not really the case anymore, because libass is now always
involved when rendering text. The only remaining use of -no-ass is
disabling styling or showing subtitles on the terminal. On the other
hand, the old subtitle rendering path is a big reason why the subtitle
code is still a big mess with an awful number of obscure special cases.
In order to simplify it, remove the old subtitle rendering code, and
always go through sd_ass.c. Basically, we use ASS_Track as central data
structure for storing text subtitles instead of struct sub_data. This
also makes libass mandatory for all text subs, even if they are printed
to the terminal in -no-video mode. (We could add something like sd_text
to avoid this, but it's not worth the trouble.)
struct sub_data and subreader.c are still around, even its ASS/SSA
reader. But struct sub_data is freed right after converting it to
ASS_Track. The internal ASS reader actually can handle some obscure
cases libass can't, like files encoded in UTF-16.
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).
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.)
Before this commit, the --osd-* options (like --osd-font-size etc.)
configured both the OSD and subtitle font. Make them separate, and add
--sub-text-* options (like --sub-text-size etc.). Now --osd-* affects
the OSD font only, and --sub-text-* unstyled text subtitles only.
Make more aspects of the OSD font customizable. This also affects the
font used for unstyled subtitles (such as SRT), or when using the
--no-ass option. This adds back some customizability that was lost with
commit 74e7a1 (osd: use libass for OSD rendering).
Removed options:
--ass-border-color
--ass-color
--font
--subfont
--subfont-text-scale
Added options:
--osd-color
--osd-border
--osd-back-color
--osd-shadow-color
--osd-font
--osd-font-size
--osd-border-size
--osd-margin-x
--osd-margin-y
--osd-shadow-offset
--osd-spacing
--sub-scale
The font size is now specified in pixels as it would be rendered on a
window with a height of 720 pixels. OSD and subtitles are always scaled
with the window height, so specifying or expecting an absolute font
size doesn't make sense.
Such scaled pixel units are used to specify font border etc. as well.
(Note: the font size is directly passed to libass. How the fonts are
actually rasterized is outside of our control, but in theory ASS font
sizes map to "script" pixels and then are scaled to screen size.)
The default settings should be about the same, with slight difference
due to rounding to the new scales.
The OSD and subtitle fonts are not separately configurable. It has
limited use and would double the number of newly added options, which
would be more confusing than helpful. It could be easily added later,
should the need arise.
Other small details that change:
- ASS_Style.Encoding is not set to -1 for subs anymore
(assuming subs use VSFilter direction in -no-ass mode too)
- use a different WrapStyle for OSD
- ASS forced styles are not applied to OSD
Finish renaming directories and moving files. Adjust all include
statements to make the previous commit compile.
The two commits are separate, because git is bad at tracking renames
and content changes at the same time.
Also take this as an opportunity to remove the separation between
"common" and "mplayer" sources in the Makefile. ("common" used to be
shared between mplayer and mencoder.)
