This gets rid of the need for a second (or more) parameters; instead it
can be all in one parameter. The (now) redundant parameter is still
parsed for compatibility, though.
The way the flags make each other conflict is a bit tricky: they have
overlapping bits, and the option parser disallows setting already set
bits.
MPlayer requires numeric values for input command parameters. mplayer2
also did. mpv changed these to choices using symbolic strings a long
time ago, but left numeric choices for compatibility.
Add MP_KEY_MOUSE_ENTER to the ignored input if the user has disabled
mouse input. Remove one instance of code duplication, and add a
MP_KEY_IS_MOUSE_MOVE macro to summarize events that are caused by moving
the mouse.
Makes all keys documented in XF86keysym.h mappable. This requires the
user to deal with numeric keycodes; no names are queried or exported.
This is an easy way to avoid adding all the hundreds of XF86 keys to
our X11 lookup table and mpv's keycode/name list.
Happens to fix#1581 due to an unfortunate interaction with the way the
VO does not react to commands for a while if a video frame is queued.
Slightly improves other situations as well, if the client spams mpv with
commands during playback.
These commands are counterparts of sub_add/sub_remove/sub_reload which
work for external audio file.

(minor simplification)
New command `mouse <x> <y> [<button> [single|double]]` is introduced.
This will update mouse position with given coordinate (`<x>`, `<y>`),
and additionally, send single-click or double-click event if `<button>`
is given.
Closing the video window sends CLOSE_WIN, which is normally mapped to
the "quit" command. The client API normally disables all key bindings,
and closing the window does nothing. It's simply left to the application
to handle this. This is fine - an embedded window can not be destroyed
by user interaction.
But sometimes, the window might be destroyed anyway, for example because
the containing window is destroyed. If this happens, CLOSE_WIN should
better not be ignored. We can't expect client API users to handle this
specially (by providing their own input.conf), so provide some fallback
for this pseudo key binding. The "quit" command might be too intrusive
(not every client necessarily handles "unexpected" MPV_EVENT_SHUTDOWN),
but I think it's still reasonable.
Using the IPC with a program, it's not often obvious that a newline must
be sent to terminate a command. Print a warning if the connection is
closed while there is still uninterpreted data in the buffer.
Print the OS reported error if reading/writing the socket fails. Print
an erro if JSON parsing fails.
I considered silencing write errors if the write end is closed (EPIPE),
because a client might send a bunch of commands, and then close the
socket without wanting to read the reply. But then, mpv disconnects
without reading further commands that might still be buffered, so it's
probably a good idea to always print the error.
Before this commit, this was defined to trigger undefined behavior. This
was nice because it required less code; but on the other hand, Lua as
well as IPC support had to check these things manually. Do it directly
in the API to avoid code duplication, and to make the API more robust.
(The total code size still grows, though...)
Since all of the failure cases were originally meant to ruin things
forever, there is no way to return error codes. So just print the
errors.
If the user has LEFT/RIGHT/etc. bound in his input.conf, then these were
overriding the menu keys in dvdnav mode.
This hack works because the dvdnav crap happens to be the only user of
MP_INPUT_ON_TOP. If it finds a default key binding in the dvdnav menu
section, it will use that, instead of continuing search and possibly
finding the user key bindings meant for normal playback.
...because everything is terrible.
strerror() is not documented as having to be thread-safe by POSIX and
C11. (Which is pretty much bullshit, because both mandate threads and
some form of thread-local storage - so there's no excuse why
implementation couldn't implement this in a thread-safe way. Especially
with C11 this is ridiculous, because there is no way to use threads and
convert error numbers to strings at the same time!)
Since we heavily use threads now, we should avoid unsafe functions like
strerror().
strerror_r() is in POSIX, but GNU/glibc deliberately fucks it up and
gives the function different semantics than the POSIX one. It's a bit of
work to convince this piece of shit to expose the POSIX standard
function, and not the messed up GNU one.
strerror_l() is also in POSIX, but only since the 2008 standard, and
thus is not widespread.
The solution is using avlibc (libavutil, by its official name), which
handles the unportable details for us, mostly. We avoid some pain.
Simpler, and leaves the decision to repeat or not fully to the script
(instead of requiring the user to care about it when remapping a script
binding).
Otherwise, mouse button bindings added by mp.add_key_binding() would be
ignored.
It's possible that this "breaks" some older scripts using undocumented
Lua script functions, but it should be safe otherwise.
Fixes#1283.
The fact that it's a generic command prefix that is parsed even when
using the client API is a bit unclean (because this flag makes sense
for actual key-bindings only), but it's less code this way.
This command was actually requested on IRC ages ago, but I forgot about
it.
The main purpose is that the decoding state can be reset without issuing
a seek, in particular in situations where you can't seek.
This restarts decoding from the middle of the packet stream; since it
discards the packet buffer intentionally, and the decoder will typically
not output "incomplete" frames until it has recovered, it can skip a
large amount of data.
It doesn't clear the byte stream cache - I'm not sure if it should.
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 ipc_thread can exit any time, and will free the mp_ipc_ctx when
doing this, leaving a dangling pointer. This was somewhat handled in the
original commit by setting mpctx->ipc_ctx to NULL when the thread
exited, but that was still a race condition.
Handle it by freeing most things after joining the ipc_thread. This
means some resources will not be freed until player exit, but that
should be ok (it's an exceptional error situation).
Also, actually close the pipe FDs in mp_init_ipc() on another error
path.
A vague idea to get something similar what libquvi did.
Undocumented because it might change a lot, or even be removed. To give
an idea what it does, a Lua script could do the following:
-- type ID priority
mp.commandv("hook_add", "on_load", 0, 0)
mp.register_script_message("hook_run", function(param, param2)
-- param is "0", the user-chosen ID from the hook_add command
-- param2 is the magic value that has to be passed to finish
-- the hook
mp.resume_all()
-- do something, maybe set options that are reset on end:
mp.set_property("file-local-options/name", "value")
-- or change the URL that's being opened:
local url = mp.get_property("stream-open-filename")
mp.set_property("stream-open-filename", url .. ".png")
-- let the player (or the next script) continue
mp.commandv("hook_ack", param2)
end)
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.
This means they get special handling for asynchronously aborting
playback, even if the player is "stuck".
Also document "stop". It seems somewhat useful for client API users
(although that will be implemented properly only in the following
commits.)
Not sure why this was originally added as autorepeated. It makes no
sense, because switching between choices should never autorepeat. (For
the normal "add"/"cycle" commands, autorepeat is usually enabled, but
command.c tries to disable it specifically for choice properties.)
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().
To handle legacy commands, string replacement is used; the modified
string is returned by parse_cmd_str(), but it also frees all temporary
memory, which includes the replaced string.
Closes#1075.
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.
