Its define (HAVE_FFMPEG_STRICT_ABI) is now utilized in a single
location, where an internal libavformat struct member is utilized.
This struct member is now (after around 10 years) finally removed
from public visibility in FFmpeg's master.
After a review of functionality, the information in bytes_read is
passed onto the demuxer layer, and then utilized for
{cache,hack}_unbuffered_read_bytes. This information is then utilized
for:
1. Calculation of bytes_per_second in demux/demux.c::update_cache,
which fills the information for properties "cache-speed" as well as
"raw-input-rate" (of which stats.lua is the most prominent user).
2. bytes_per_second also affects how often update_cache is called in
addition to the two locations it is called unconditionally in
(read_packet, demux_update).
In other words, the information provided does not appear to control
crucial mpv functionality, but rather its lack would seem to mostly
affect the speed of certain properties updating, or having valid
values. For the former, stream size as well as timed metadata get
updated in update_cache - although the demux layer does throttle
the update of certain things to once per second in that function.
For the latter, "cache-speed" and "raw-input-rate" lose read data
statistics from AVIOContexts opened by the opened FFmpeg AVFormatContext
itself, as opposed to the primary one - which goes through mpv's
stream reading implementation.
By enabling this feature, and disabling this abuse of private API
lets users build mpv by default with the latest master FFmpeg, thus
giving us the breathing room to look into some of the details of
this case, and either decide to:
1. Post a patch to add this information back to FFmpeg proper.
2. Remove or replace this functionality in another manner.
End user impact:
Any IO not handled by mpv itself - but rather by IO contexts newly
opened by the input format - is not visible through the properties
"cache-speed" and "raw-input-rate". Examples of such input formats
are the HLS and DASH readers in FFmpeg.

This brings my scaletempo2 benchmark down from ~22s to ~7s on my machine
(-march=native), and down to ~11s with a generic compile.
Guarded behind an appropriate #ifdef to avoid being ableist against
people who have the clinical need to run obscure platforms.
Closes#8848
Changes:
- code refactored;
- mixer options removed;
- new mpv sound API used;
- add sound devices detect (mpv --audio-device=help will show all available devices);
- only OSSv4 supported now;
Tested on FreeBSD 12.2 amd64.
It's about a year old, and packaged pretty much everywhere that bothers
to package libplacebo at all. Older versions are only a thing on LTS,
which will probably also use older mpv so it works out.
Starting with v2.72.0, libplacebo validates all of its parameters
internally and turns them into function failures. Doing it twice is
awfully redundant, so we can drop the parameter validation.
Also allows us to drop some preprocessor macros.
this drops support for swift <4.1 and with this support for xcode <=9.2.
this was the last setup that is officially working on macOS 10.12.
our old legacy build macOS 10.12 + xcode 9.2 is replaced by macOS 10.13
+ xcode 9.4.1 with swift 4.1. the macOS 10.13 + xcode 10.1 VM is
replaced by the latest macOS 10.14 + xcode 11.3.1 VM. this is the oldest
version officially supported by Apple.
this is in preparations for the following commit.
Should result in: "You manually enabled the feature 'lua', but the
autodetection check failed."
The moved bit of code was probably intended to do that all along, but it
was running too late, so the code that actually checked for Lua didn't
know it was explicitly asked for and quietly disabled it if not found.
Zlib has had a .pc file since 2010, and the default search paths we use
here can break the build on some distros (notably openSUSE Tumbleweed,
which our Travis builds use). Just check pkg-config instead.
remove the hardcoded swift target version and move the version
restriction to configure. this was a bad idea anyway and could lead to
mismatched object files between obj-c and swift. fix travis 10.12 legacy
build.
also update the SDK version parser to handle the new macOS 11 scheme.
Fixes#8281
Based on the implementation of ffmpeg's sixel backend output written
by Hayaki Saito
https://github.com/saitoha/FFmpeg-SIXEL/blob/sixel/libavdevice/sixel.c
Sixel is a protocol to display graphics in a terminal. This commit
adds support to play videos on a sixel enabled terminal using libsixel.
With --vo=sixel, the output will be in sixel format.
The input frame will be scaled to the user specified resolution
(--vo-sixel-width and --vo-sixel-height) using swscaler and then
encoded using libsixel and output to the terminal. This method
requires high cpu and there are high frame drops for 720p and
higher resolution videos and might require using lesser colors and
have drop in quality. Docs have all the supported options listed
to fine tune the output quality.
TODO: A few parameters of libsixel such as the sixel_encode_policy
and the SIXEL_XTERM16 variables are hardcoded, might want to
expose them as command line options. Also the initialization
resolution is not automatic and if the user doesn't specify the
dimensions, it picks 320x240 as the default resolution which is not
optimal. So need to automatically pick the best fit resolution for
the current open terminal window size.
The wl_pointer interface defines button argument as “a button code as
defined in the Linux kernel's linux/input-event-codes.h header file,
e.g. BTN_LEFT.”
We could #define these few buttons ourselves, but there is no system to
test it on, so for now let’s disable Wayland support on them.
This is a call to non-Linux system maintainers, please help test this
backend on your system and report issues you find, or even working
state.
Nobody needs this anymore. If not too many people complain, we'll remove
this completely. Many already consider X11 and OpenGL legacy, so we
don't need TWO X11/OpenGL backends.
On FreeBSD non-POSIX threading functions are in a separate header.

Previously, EGL as provided by a pkg-config was checked for independently
in several places. The effect this had is that --disable-egl would not
actually disable EGL from the build, as this only affected the "egl" option
relied upon by egl-x11. wayland-gl and egl-drm did their own EGL checks.
By making wayland-gl and drm-egl depend on egl instead, we fix this
behaviour and can simplify egl-helpers a bit, as we can now simply
check whether egl or one of the other features providing some non-pc egl
is enabled, instead of checking every single thing that might be pulling
in egl.
Future work could make the "egl" option just be a catchall for any
EGL implementation, so that brcmegl and angle and Android can piggyback
on the egl option as well.
Ancient Linux audio output. Apparently it survived until now, because
some BSDs (but not all) had use of this. But these should work with
ao_sdl or ao_openal too (that's why these AOs exist after all). ao_oss
itself has the problem that it's virtually unmaintainable from my point
of view due to all the subtle (or non-subtle) difference. Look at the
ifdef mess and the multiple code paths (that shouldn't exist) in the
removed source code.
I wonder what this even is. I've never heard of anyone using it, and
can't find a corresponding library that actually builds with it. Good
enough to remove.
It was always marked as "experimental", and had inherent problems that
were never fixed. It was disabled by default, and I don't think anyone
is using it.
Using mpv without libass isn't really supported, since it's not only
used to display ASS subtitles, but all text subtitles, and even OSD.
At least 1 user complained that the player printed a warning if built
without libass. Avoid trying to create the impression that using this
software without libass is in any way supported or desirable, and make
it fully mandatory.
(As far as making dependencies optional goes, I'd rather make ffmpeg
optional, which is an oversized and bloated library, rather than
something tiny like libass.)
Because pthread failures are virtually undebuggable (which sure is
pretty strange, given all these heavy instrumentation tools these days).
Of course it affects only files which include osdep/threads.h.
I'm departing from the usual way to add symbols with config.h and using
"#if", and defining it on the compiler command line + "#ifdef" because I
don't want to include config.h from a header (which would be necessary
in this case) to keep things slightly cleaner. Maybe this is misguided,
but still.
This would have been easier if mpv defined its own wrappers for all
thread functions. But we don't (which to be honest is probably better
than e.g. going crazy like VLC and essentially reimplementing
everything). This seems to be a good compromise. Since it's off by
default and basically a developer tool, the minor undefined behavior
(redefining reserved symbols) isn't much of an issue.
The emulation is pretty bad, and C11 compilers are everywhere now. It's
time to retire the emulation, which was always meant as temporary hack
for transition.
In theory, a user can still use --disable-stdatomic to enable the
emulation code, but that's sort of hidden. Actual support will be
removed after the next release or so.
Apparently this bit-rotted a lot, and now causes more problems that it
helps. In particular picking up broadcom EGL instead of Mesa EGL will
break things. With RPI getting proper Mesa/DRM/V4L support, this problem
should solve itself as well.
This required libsmbclient, which is a heavy dependency, and as a
library, has all kinds of problems. For one, the API requires completely
unacceptable global state (in particular, leaks auth state), and is not
thread-safe (meaning concurrent reads to multiple files block each
other).
There are better replacements: you can use the Linux kernel's builtin
CIFS support, fusesmb, or contribute supoport for libdsm.
Libav seems rather dead: no release for 2 years, no new git commits in
master for almost a year (with one exception ~6 months ago). From what I
can tell, some developers resigned themselves to the horrifying idea to
post patches to ffmpeg-devel instead, while the rest of the developers
went on to greener pastures.
Libav was a better project than FFmpeg. Unfortunately, FFmpeg won,
because it managed to keep the name and website. Libav was pushed more
and more into obscurity: while there was initially a big push for Libav,
FFmpeg just remained "in place" and visible for most people. FFmpeg was
slowly draining all manpower and energy from Libav. A big part of this
was that FFmpeg stole code from Libav (regular merges of the entire
Libav git tree), making it some sort of Frankenstein mirror of Libav,
think decaying zombie with additional legs ("features") nailed to it.
"Stealing" surely is the wrong word; I'm just aping the language that
some of the FFmpeg members used to use. All that is in the past now, I'm
probably the only person left who is annoyed by this, and with this
commit I'm putting this decade long problem finally to an end. I just
thought I'd express my annoyance about this fucking shitshow one last
time.
The most intrusive change in this commit is the resample filter, which
originally used libavresample. Since the FFmpeg developer refused to
enable libavresample by default for drama reasons, and the API was
slightly different, so the filter used some big preprocessor mess to
make it compatible to libswresample. All that falls away now. The
simplification to the build system is also significant.
While we've had a zsh completion script for a while, we haven't had
one for bash. This one is reasonably comprehensive, although there are
improvements one could imagine for certain options.
We whitelist formats (and not all of them). RAR v5 is a separated format
entry for inexplicable reasons. (It's a separate implementation, but who
really wants to support only either of the rar formats?)
I'm not sure if it was libarchive 3.3.3. Their git history is absolutely
chaotic. These people do not know how to use git. I couldn't be bothered
to dig deeper.
In the distant past, the cuviddec backed copy hwaccel could be
configured directly using lavc options. However, since that time,
we gained support for automatic hw ctx creation which ended up
bypassing the lavc options.
Rather than trying to find a way to pass those options again, a
better idea is to make the 'cuda-decode-device' option, used by
the interop hwaccels, work for the copy hwaccels too.
And that's pretty simple: we have to add a create function that
checks the option and passes it on to ffmpeg.
Note that this does require a slight re-jig to the configuration
flags, as we now have a scenario where we want to build with support
for the cuda copy hwaccels but not the interop ones. So we need
a distinct configuration flag for that combination.
Fixes#7295.
In vaapi 1.1.0 (which confusingly is libva release 2.1.0), they
introduced a new surface export API that is more efficient, and
we've been supporting that and the old API ever since (Feb 2018).
If we drop support for the old API, we can do some fairly nice cleanup
of the code.
Note that the pkgconfig entries are explicitly versioned by the API
version and not the library version. I confirmed the upstream pkgconfig
files.
when swift is disabled some headers are not included. one of them is the
options/options.h header that is needed for the vo_sub_opts struct. we
include it to fix the build without swift.
the second problem is the build time check for the macOS 10.12.2
features or more specific the Media Player support. since it is a swift
feature we can not use it when swift is disabled. add a separate
Media Player check that also depends on swift and use that new
preprocessor variable as a build time check instead.
Fixes#7282
With the previous commit, there's no need for 1.5 anymore. And in fact,
it's just too dangerous to rely on 1.5 because of all the EGL craziness.
For example, you might get a 1.5 EGL system library, but a driver might
still give you 1.4 at runtime. If you assume that you can call 1.5
functions, you will probably get random crashes in this case. What a
cursed API. (The same problem exists with EGL 1.3, but fortunately
nothing seems to use that anymore. We can just ignore that problem.)
the old event tap has several problems, like no proper priority support
or having to set accessibility permissions for mpv or the terminal.
it is now replaced by the new MediaPlayer which has proper priority
support and isn't as greedy as previously. this only includes Media Key
support and not any of the other features included in the MediaPlayer
framework, like proper Now Playing data (only set dummy data for now).
this is only available on macOS 10.12.2 and higher.
also removes some unnecessary redefines.
Fixes#6389
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.
eglGetPlatform() is a broken API, since it takes a windowing specific
argument, yet is supposed to work for multiple APIs at the same time. On
Linux, it can take both a X11 "Display" and a "wl_display". Obviously
there is no way to specify what kind of display the argument is (it's
just a void*).
Mesa has _eglNativePlatformDetectNativeDisplay, which does funny stuff
to try to guess the display type, including trying to call mincore() to
determine whether the pointer can be accessed at all. I guess this
recently accidentally broke (as a bug), but on the other hand, maybe
it's time to do this properly.
The fix is using eglGetPlaformDisplay(). This requires EGL 1.5, plus
Mesa needs to support the associated platform extension
(EGL_KHR_platform_x11).
Since I see no reasonable way to do this in a compatible way, just
require that EGL 1.5 is available. The problem is that EGL 1.4 seems to
require you to create a display to query EGL version and extension, and
you have a chicken-and-egg problem. It's very stupid. Maybe you could
jump through some more hoops to get something compatible, but fuck that.
Users on "too old" Mesa will fall back to GLX (which we keep around for
a regrettable company known by the name of Nvidia).
I think Wayland and GBM should do the same. They're sufficiently
bleeding-edge that you can expect them to have EGL 1.5. On the other
hand, the cursed RPI code will have to stay with a eglGetDisplay().
Speculative fix for #7154.
(Rant about EGL follows. Actually I deleted it.)
This stopped doing anything since how many years?
The only actual effect was that af_rubberband was made GPL only. Now it
is available in LGPL builds too.
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.
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.
