Add a comment about this to avoid confusing users of this function. The
parameter is essentially unused, but exists so that we don't need to
add extra APIs if the need for it arises.
Instead of defining a separate data structure in the core.
For some odd reason, demux_chapter exported the chapter time in
nano-seconds. Change that to the usual timestamps (rename the field
to make any code relying on this to fail compilation), and also remove
the unused chapter end time.
Note that you can't pass .cue or .edl files to it, at least not yet.
Requested in context of allowing to specify custom chapters. For that
to work well, we probably need to add some sort of chapter metadata
pseudo-demuxer.
Using the --playlist option is no longer recommended.
A while ago, mpv rewrote all playlist parsers and added some minimal
security mechanisms (like not allowing local file access or unsafe
protocols in remote playlists). Further, mpv can load playlists by
passing them as normal file arguments, without the option.
Now, --playlist is needed only in these situations:
1) loading plaintext files
2) disabling additional security mechanisms
(e.g. using a remote playlist to play local files)
NSDisableScreenUpdates came to hunt me in the end and when mpv was paused, it
did wait for a frame that never came (because of interaction with the live
resizing code)!
This was shown only if decoder-framedropping was enabled, and only if at
least 50 frames were dropped by it. Since drop_frame_cnt used to mean
"number of late frames", this code made sense, but this is not the case
anymore: drop_frame_cnt can be even 0, all while video gets hopelessly
behind audio.
One problem with this is that short desync spikes (which usually can
probably dealt with) will also cause this message to be shown. If it
gets triggered too often, the code will need to be adjusted.
This shouldn't use the host's 'ar' when building static libs. It only
worked until now because Linux 'ar' is usually built with PE support.
Couldn't confirm whether it works, because this dumb crap is just
broken when cross-compiling to mingw.
Thanks to STREAM_CTRL_HAS_AVSEEK, we actually know whether CTRL_AVSEEK
is implemented at all, and we can avoid a blocking wait on the cache if
demux_lavf sends CTRL_AVSEEK even if it won't wait. I'm hoping this
can't currently happen, but why hope if we can explicitly prevent it.
It'll make us more robust against future changes in libavformat.
For example, if --force-window is used, and video is switched off during
playback, then you need to redecide the rendering method to get subs
displayed correctly.
Do this by moving the state setup code into a function, and call it on
every frame.
Apparently this can "sometimes" return an error. In my opinion, this
should never return an error: neither the semantics of the function,
nor the ALSA documentation or ALSA sample code seem to indicate that
a failure is to be expected. I'm not perfectly sure about this though
(I blame ALSA being a weird, big, underdocumented API).
Since it causes problems for some users, and since there is really no
reason why we should abort on such an error, turn it into a warning.
Fixes#1231.
If you played e.g. an audio-only file and something bad happened that
interrupted playback, the exit message could say "No files played".
This was awkward, so show a different message in this case.
Also overhaul how the exit status is reported in order to make this
easier. This includes things such as not reporting a playback error
when loading playlists (playlists contain no video or audio, which
was considered an error).
Not sure if I'm happy with this, but for now it seems like a slight
improvement.
Basically, this will mark the demuxer as seekable with rtmp* and mmsh
protocols. These protocols have network-level time seeking, and whether
you can seek on the byte level does not matter.
Until now, seeking was typically only enabled because of the cache, and
a (nonsensical) warning was shown accordingly.
It still could happen that the server doesn't actually support thse
requests (or simply rejects them), so this is somewhat imperfect.
I'm not sure if this could be done in libavformat instead. Probably not,
because libavformat doesn't seem to have any mechanism for trying one
protocol and reverting (or redirecting) to another one if needed.
This commit is sort of a hack too, because it redirects the URL by
pretending the http:// link is a playlist containing the mmsh:// link.
The list of mime types is borrowed from MPlayer (which has completely
different code to handle this).
Apparently this is needed for correct 3D mode subtitles. In general,
it seems you need to duplicate the whole "GUI", so it's done for all
OSD elements.
This doesn't handle the "duplication" of the mouse pointer. Instead,
the mouse can be used for the top/left field only. Also, it's possible
that we should "compress" the OSD in the direction it's duplicated, but
I don't know about that.
Fixes#1124, at least partially.
This is probably what libmpv users want; and it also improves error
reporting (or we'd have to add a way to communicate such mid-playback
failures as events).
This was probably done incorrectly in cases when the currently selected
channel had no data. I'm not sure if this codepath is functional at all,
though. Maybe not.
Untested due to lack of DVB hardware.
Using magic integer values was an attempt to keep the API less verbose.
But it was probably not a good idea.
Reason 1 (restart) is not made explicit, because it is not used anymore
starting with the previous commit. For ABI compatibility, the value is
left as a hole in the enum.
Use the codepath that is normally used for DVD/BD title switching and
DVB channel switching. Removes some extra artifacts from the client API:
now MPV_EVENT_END_FILE will never be called on reloads (and neither is
MPV_EVENT_START_FILE).
This was originally done for DVD/BD/DVB, where the start position could
be something different from 0, and seeking back to 0 would mess it up
completely.
Since we're not quite sure that these streams are unseekable, we can
simplify this somewhat, and also make sure we also start at 0 for normal
files. Helps a little bit with the following edition reloading commit.
The only reason for mpv_wait_event() not being thread-safe is that it
returns a pointer to a mpv_event struct member in the mpv_handle
context, which in turn is done for ABI-safety (user doesn't allocate or
manage the struct), and to avoid the need additional memory management.
Some users were interpreting this incorrectly.
Without --force-window, this is called on every iteration or so, and
calling uninit_video_out() sends the video-reconfig event. Avoid sending
redundant events.
Fixes#1225 (using an alternative patch).
