Before this change, Cocoa state was accessed from both the VO and the
Cocoa main thread. This was probably not a good idea. There was some
locking as well as implicit synchronization using the dispatch
mechanism, but it wasn't watertight.
Change this completely. Now Cocoa things are always accessed from the
main thread only. The old mutex falls away, as well as the
vo_cocoa_set_current_context() function, which implicitly used the lock
to coordinate VO accesses. With the new code, the VO thread generally
has to wait for the main thread, while the main thread never waits for
the VO and rarely accesses it. Fortunately, this is rather straight
forward, and most of this is achieved by making vo_cocoa_control() run
on the main thread. The logic of the code does generally not change.
Some aspects are trickier. Apparently we can't access the
NSOpenGLContext from the VO thread, because this object is not thread-
safe. We use some CGLContextObj functions instead, such as for making
the context current and swapping the buffers.
Instead of requiring a complicated mechanism to share the entire OpenGL
and renderer state between VO and Cocoa thread just to do the redrawing
during live-resize on the Cocoa thread, let the Cocoa thread wait on the
VO thread. This wil allow some major simplifications and cleanups in the
future.
One problem with this is that it can enter a deadlock whenever the VO
tries to sync with the Cocoa thread. To deal with this, the Cocoa thread
waits with a timeout. This can probably be improved later, though in
general this situation can always happen, unless the Cocoa thread waits
in a reentrant way.
Some other details aren't completely clean either. For example,
pending_events should be accessed atomically. This will also be fixed
later.
With --idle --force-window, or when started from the bundle, the cocoa
code dropped the first frame. This resulted in a black frame on start
sometimes.
The reason was that the live resizing/redrawing code was invoked, which
simply set skip_swap_buffer to false, blocking redrawing whatever was
going to be rendered next. Normally this is done so that the following
works:
1. vo_opengl draw a frame, releases GL lock
2. live resizing kicks in, redraw the frame
3. vo_opengl wants to call SwapBuffers, drawing a stale buffer
overwritten by the live resizing code
This is solved by setting skip_swap_buffer in 2., and querying it in 3.
Fix this by resetting the skip_swap_buffer at a known good point: when
vo_opengl starts drawing a new frame.
The start_frame function returns bool, so that it can be merged with
is_active in a following commit.
This approach is similar to what other vo_opengl backends do. It can also be
used in the future to create another cocoa backend that renders offscreen
with IOSurfaces or FBOs.
Split the code to several files. The GUI elements now each have they own files
and private state. The original code was a mess to respect the retarded mplayer
convention of having everything in a single file.
This commit also seems to fix the long running bug of artifacts showing
randomly when going fullscreen using nVidia GPUs.
This removes a bit of ugly code and bookeeping which is never bad. `drawRect`
needs to guard against different window instances since in fullscreen the view
is wrapped in a fullscreen window provided by the toolkit (a instance of
NSFullScreenWindow to be precise).
The event handling was moved to the view so that it can still get all the
events when in the fullscreen window. Ideally these should be moved to
some NSResponder subclass within macosx_application and made available even
when no window is present. I refrained from this because "small steps".
Instead of having separate callbacks for each backend-handled feature
(like MPGLContext.fullscreen, MPGLContext.border, etc.), pass the
VOCTRL responsible for this directly to the backend. This allows
removing a bunch of callbacks, that currently must be set even for
optional/lesser features (like VOCTRL_BORDER).
This requires changes to all VOs using gl_common, as well as all
backends that support gl_common.
Also introduce VOCTRL_CHECK_EVENTS. vo.check_events is now optional.
VO backends can use VOCTRL_CHECK_EVENTS instead to implementing
check_events. This has the advantage that the event handling code in
VOs doesn't have to be duplicated if vo_control() is used.
This commit is a followup on the previous one and uses a solution I like more
since it totally decouples the Cocoa code from mpv's core and tries to emulate
a generic Cocoa application's lifecycle as much as possible without fighting
the framework.
mpv's main is executed in a pthread while the main thread runs the native cocoa
event loop.
All of the thread safety is mainly accomplished with additional logic in
cocoa_common as to not increase complexity on the crossplatform parts of the
code.
create_window is really bad naming, because this function can be called
multiple times, while the name implies that it always creates a new
window. At least the name config_window is not actively misleading.
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.)
Tis drops the silly lib prefixes, and attempts to organize the tree in
a more logical way. Make the top-level directory less cluttered as
well.
Renames the following directories:
libaf -> audio/filter
libao2 -> audio/out
libvo -> video/out
libmpdemux -> demux
Split libmpcodecs:
vf* -> video/filter
vd*, dec_video.* -> video/decode
mp_image*, img_format*, ... -> video/
ad*, dec_audio.* -> audio/decode
libaf/format.* is moved to audio/ - this is similar to how mp_image.*
is located in video/.
Move most top-level .c/.h files to core. (talloc.c/.h is left on top-
level, because it's external.) Park some of the more annoying files
in compat/. Some of these are relicts from the time mplayer used
ffmpeg internals.
sub/ is not split, because it's too much of a mess (subtitle code is
mixed with OSD display and rendering).
Maybe the organization of core is not ideal: it mixes playback core
(like mplayer.c) and utility helpers (like bstr.c/h). Should the need
arise, the playback core will be moved somewhere else, while core
contains all helper and common code.
