Especially with other components (libavcodec, OSX stuff), the thread
list can get quite populated. Setting the thread name helps when
debugging.
Since this is not portable, we check the OS variants in waf configure.
old-configure just gets a special-case for glibc, since doing a full
check here would probably be a waste of effort.
The event monitor is used to get keyboard events when there is no window, but
since it is a global monitor to the current process, we don't want it in a
library setting.
Commit 64b7811c tried to do the "right thing" with respect to whether
keyboard input should be enabled or not. It turns out that X11 does
something stupid by design. All modern toolkits work around this native
X11 behavior, but embedding breaks these workarounds.
The only way to handle this correctly is the XEmbed protocol. It needs
to be supported by the toolkit, and probably also some mpv support. But
Qt has inconsistent support for it. In Qt 4, a X11 specific embedding
widget was needed. Qt 5.0 doesn't support it at all. Qt 5.1 apparently
supports it via QWindow, but if it really does, I couldn't get it to
work.
So add a hack instead. The new --input-x11-keyboard option controls
whether mpv should enable keyboard input on the X11 window or not. In
the command line player, it's enabled by default, but in libmpv it's
disabled.
This hack has the same problem as all previous embedding had: move the
mouse outside of the window, and you don't get keyboard input anymore.
Likewise, mpv will steal all keyboard input from the parent application
as long as the mouse is inside of the mpv window.
Also see issue #1090.
Originally, all options were copied to ensure that input_ctx remins
thread-safe, even if options are changed asynchronously. But this got
a bit inconsistent. Copy them automatically and reduce some weirdness.
Until now, creating the input_ctx was delayed until the command line
and config files were parsed. Separate creation and loading so that
input_ctx is available from start.
This should make it possible to simplify some things. For example,
some complications with Cocoa were apparently only because input_ctx
was available only "later". (Although I'm not sure if this is still
relevant, or if the Cocoa code should even be organized this way.)
Let us set a different rate and delay.
Needed for the following commit where we set rate and delay reported by weston.
But only if the option native-keyrepeat is set.
Use libwaio to read from pipes (stdin or named pipes) on Windows. This
liberates us from nasty issues, such as pipes (as created by most
programs) not being possible to read in a non-blocking or event-driven
way. Although it would be possible to do that in a somewhat sane way
on Vista+, it's still not easy, and on XP it's especially hard. libwaio
handles these things for us.
Move pipe.c to pipe-unix.c, and remove Windows specific things. Also
adjust the input.c code to make this work cleanly.
Refine the ugly hack from the previous commit, and let the "quit"
command and some others abort playback immediately. For
playlist_next/playlist_prev, still use the old hack, because we can't
know if they would stop playback or not.
This mechanism originates from MPlayer's way of dealing with blocking
network, but it's still useful. On opening and closing, mpv waits for
network synchronously, and also some obscure commands and use-cases can
lead to such blocking. In these situations, the stream is asynchronously
forced to stop by "interrupting" it.
The old design interrupting I/O was a bit broken: polling with a
callback, instead of actively interrupting it. Change the direction of
this. There is no callback anymore, and the player calls
mp_cancel_trigger() to force the stream to return.
libavformat (via stream_lavf.c) has the old broken design, and fixing it
would require fixing libavformat, which won't happen so quickly. So we
have to keep that part. But everything above the stream layer is
prepared for a better design, and more sophisticated methods than
mp_cancel_test() could be easily introduced.
There's still one problem: commands are still run in the central
playback loop, which we assume can block on I/O in the worst case.
That's not a problem yet, because we simply mark some commands as being
able to stop playback of the current file ("quit" etc.), so input.c
could abort playback as soon as such a command is queued. But there are
also commands abort playback only conditionally, and the logic for that
is in the playback core and thus "unreachable". For example,
"playlist_next" aborts playback only if there's a next file. We don't
want it to always abort playback.
As a quite ugly hack, abort playback only if at least 2 abort commands
are queued - this pretty much happens only if the core is frozen and
doesn't react to input.
Mismatching units in timeout calculation.
Also, as a near-cosmetic change, explicitly wake up the core on the
right time. Currently this does nothing, because the core is woken up
anyway - but it will matter with the next commit.
Do terminal input with a thread, instead of using the central select()
loop. This also changes some details how SIGTERM is handled.
Part of my crusade against mp_input_add_fd().
Continues commit 348dfd93. Replace other places where input was manually
fetched with common code.
demux_was_interrupted() was a weird function; I'm not entirely sure
about its original purpose, but now we can just replace it with simpler
code as well. One difference is that we always look at the command
queue, rather than just when cache initialization failed. Also, instead
of discarding all but quit/playlist commands (aka abort command), run
all commands. This could possibly lead to unwanted side-effects, like
just ignoring commands that have no effect (consider pressing 'f' for
fullscreen right on start: since the window is not created yet, it would
get discarded). But playlist navigation still works as intended, and
some if not all these problems already existed before that in some
forms, so it should be ok.
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.
"Shift+X" didn't actually map any key, as opposed to "Shift+x". This is
because shift usually changes the case of a character, so a plain
printable character like "X" simply can never be combined with shift.
But this is not very intuitive. Always remove the shift code from
printable characters. Also, for ASCII, actually apply the case mapping
to uppercase characters if combined with shift. Doing this for unicode
in general would be nice, but that would require lookup tables. In
general, we don't know anyway what character a key produces when
combined with shift - it could be anything, and depends on the keyboard
layout.
Abandon the "old" infrastructure for --input-file (mp_input_add_fd(),
select() loop, non-blocking reads). Replace it with something that
starts a reader thread, using blocking input.
This is for the sake of Windows. Windows is a truly insane operating
system, and there's not even a way to read a pipe in a non-blocking
way, or to wait for new input in an interruptible way (like with
poll()). And unfortunately, some want to use pipe to send input to
mpv. There are probably (slightly) better IPC mechanisms available
on Windows, but for the sake of platform uniformity, make this work
again for now.
On Vista+, CancelIoEx() could probably be used. But there's no way on
XP. Also, that function doesn't work on wine, making development
harder. We could forcibly terminate the thread, which might work, but
is unsafe. So what we do is starting a thread, and if we don't want
the pipe input anymore, we just abandon the thread. The thread might
remain blocked forever, but if we exit the process, the kernel will
forcibly kill it. On Unix, just use poll() to handle this.
Unfortunately the code is pretty crappy, but it's ok, because it's late
and I wanted to stop working on this an hour ago.
Tested on wine; might not work on a real Windows.
For --input-test, print messages on terminal by default.
Raise message level for enabling input sections, because the OSC makes
this very extremely annoying.
When a new event was added, merely a flag was set, instead of actually
waking up the core (if needed). This was ok in ancient times when all
event sources were part of the select() loop. But now there are several
cases where other threads can add input, and then you actually need to
wakeup the core in order to make it read the events at all.
Apparently this switch means all mouse input should be strictly
rejected. Some VO backends (such as X11) explicitly disable all mouse
events if this option is set, but others don't. So check them in
input.c, which increases consistency.
Follow up on commit 760548da. Mouse handling is a bit confusing, because
there are at least 3 coordinate systems associated with it, and it
should be cleaned up. But that is hard, so just apply a hack which gets
the currently-annoying issue (VO backends needing access to the VO) out
of the way.
Key bindings are decided on the "down" event, so if the prefix is not
unique, the first/shortest will be used (e.g. when both "a" and "a-b"
are mapped, "a" will always be chosen).
This also breaks combining multiple mouse buttons. But it seems users
expect it to work, and it's indeed a bit strange that it shouldn't work,
as mouse bindings are emitted on the key "up" event, not "down" (if the
shorter binding didn't emit a command yet, why shouldn't it be
combinable).
Deal with this by clearing the key history when a command is actually
emitted, instead of when a command is decided. This means if both
MOUSE_BTN0 and MOUSE_BTN0-MOUSE_BTN1 are mapped, the sequence of holding
down BTN0 and then BTN1 will redecide the current command. On the other
hand, if BTN0 is released before BTN1 is pressed, the command is
emitted, and the key history is deleted. So the BTN1 press will not
trigger BTN0-BTN1.
For normal keys, nothing should change, because commands are emitted on
the "down" event already, so the key history is always cleared.
Might fix#902.
CC: @mpv-player/stable (if this fix is successful)
Something like "char *s = ...; isdigit(s[0]);" triggers undefined
behavior, because char can be signed, and thus s[0] can be a negative
value. The is*() functions require unsigned char _or_ EOF. EOF is a
special value outside of unsigned char range, thus the argument to the
is*() functions can't be a char.
This undefined behavior can actually trigger crashes if the
implementation of these functions e.g. uses lookup tables, which are
then indexed with out-of-range values.
Replace all <ctype.h> uses with our own custom mp_is*() functions added
with misc/ctype.h. As a bonus, these functions are locale-independent.
(Although currently, we _require_ C locale for other reasons.)
Similar to previous commits.
This also renames --doubleclick-time to --input-doubleclick-time, and
--key-fifo-size to --input-key-fifo-size. We could keep the old names,
but these options are very obscure, and renaming them seems better for
consistency.
Binding multiple commands at once where always considered not
repeatable, because the MP_CMD_COMMAND_LIST wasn't considered
repeatable.
Fixes#807 (probably).
This essentially reverts commit cca13efb. The code in the if was
supposed to be run only if the mouse button was down, because in this
case the mouse area is never considered to be left. Since it was run
for every mouse button, mouse_leave wasn't sent.
Fixes#745.
