Also allows it to deal with NULL return values, which currently is not
needed, but may or may not be required at some point in the future (what
if malloc fails).
It's better to keep the logic in one place.
Also drop that a broken config file aborts loading of the player. I
don't see much reason for this, and it inflates the code slightly.
Search $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS for config files.
This also negates the need to have separate user and global variants of
mp_find_config_file()

The main issue was actually that the OSD callback locked the subtitle
decoder, which does not necessarily work, because the OSD code is
already allowed to lock it. The state was already protected by
unsetting the callback (which involes the OSD lock). So, in summary,
this is probably just a cleanup.
Let the VOs draw the OSD on their own, instead of making OSD drawing a
separate VO driver call. Further, let it be the VOs responsibility to
request subtitles with the correct PTS. We also basically allow the VO
to request OSD/subtitles at any time.
OSX changes untested.
Instead of absuing m_option to store the property list, introduce a
separate type for properties. m_option is still used to handle data
types. The property declaration itself now never contains the option
type, and instead it's always queried with M_PROPERTY_GET_TYPE. (This
was already done with some properties, now all properties use it.)
This also fixes that the function signatures did not match the function
type with which these functions were called. They were called as:
int (*)(const m_option_t*, int, void*, void*)
but the actual function signatures were:
int (*)(m_option_t*, int, void*, MPContext *)
Two arguments were mismatched.
This adds one line per property implementation. With additional the
reordering of the parameters, this makes most of the changes in this
commit.
Does anyone actually use this?
For now, update it, because it's the only case left where an option
points to a global variable (and not a struct offset).
While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
Convert all these commands to properties. (Except tv_last_channel, not
sure what to do with this.) Also, internally, don't access stream
details directly, but dispatch commands with stream ctrls.
Many of the new properties are a bit strange, because they're write-
only. Also remove some OSD output these commands produced, because I
couldn't be bothered to port these.
In general, this makes everything much cleaner, and will also make it
easier to e.g. move the demuxer to its own thread.
Don't bother updating input.conf, but changes.rst documents how old
commands map to the new ones.
Mostly untested, due to lack of hardware.
Basically, this allows gapless playback with similar files (including
the ordered chapter case), while still being robust in general.
The implementation is quite simplistic on purpose, in order to avoid
all the weird corner cases that can occur when creating the filter
chain. The consequence is that it might do not-gapless playback in
more cases when needed, but if that bothers you, you still can use
the normal gapless mode.
Just using "--gapless-audio" or "--gapless-audio=yes" selects the old
mode.
Since redundant wakeups are avoided now, it's easy to miss a wakeup when
creating/setting the pipe/callback after the client API was signalled.
If the client API is signalled, need_wakeup is set to true, and
wakeup_client skips writing to the pipe or calling the client API. That
this can happen is not very obvious to the client API, so trigger a
wakeup right on start in order to remove this special case.
Until now, availability of new log messages (through the mechanism
associated with mpv_request_log_messages()) did not wakeup the client
API properly. Commit 3b7402b5 was basically a hack to improve that
somewhat, but it wasn't a solution.
The main problem is that the client API itself is producing messages, so
the message callback would attempt to lock the client API lock,
resulting in a deadlock. Even if the lock was recursive, we'd run into
lock-order issues.
Solve this by using a separate lock for waiting and wakeup. Also, since
it's a natural addition, avoid redundant wakeups. This means the wakeup
callback as well as the wakeup pipe will be triggered only once until
the next mpv_wait_event() call happens.
This might make the wakeup callback be invoked in a reentrant way for
the first time, for example if a mpv_* function prints to a log. Adjust
the docs accordingly. (Note that non-reentrant beheavior was never
guaranteed - basically the wakeup callback is somewhat dangerous and
inconvenient.)
Also remove some traces of unneeded code. ctx->shutdown for one was
never set, and probably a leftover of an abandoned idea.
A bit verbose, but less misleading. In most cases, the API user probably
actually wants mpv_terminate_destroy() instead, so the less-useful
function shouldn't have a simnpler name anyway.
mpv_destroy() should perhaps better be called mpv_detach(), because it
destroys only the handle, not necessarily the player. The player is only
terminated if a quit command is sent.
This function quits automatically, and additionally waits until the
player is completely destroyed. It removes the possibility that the
player core is still uninitializing, while all client handles are
already destroyed. (Although in practice, the difference is usually not
important.)
Now a negative timeout mean an infinite timeout. This is similar to the
poll() system call. Apparently this is more intuitive and less confusing
than specifying a "very high" value as timeout if you want to wait
forever.
For callers that never pass negative timeouts, nothing changes.
Listening on messages currently uses polling (every time
mpv_wait_event() has no new events, the message buffer is polled and a
message event is possibly created). Improve this situation a bit, and
call the user-supplied wakeup callback.
This will increase the frequency with which the wakeup callback is
called, but the client is already supposed to be able to deal with this
situation. Also, as before, calling mpv_wait_event() from the wakeup
callback is forbidden, so the client can't read new messages from the
callback directly.
The wakeup pipe is written either. Since the wakeup pipe is created
lazily, we can't access the pipe handle without creating a race
condition or a deadlock. (This is actually very silly, since in practice
the race condition won't matter, but for now let's keep it clean.)
If an API user calls mpv_wait_event() and mpv_observe_property() before
mpv_initialize(), it could happen that a property was accessed before
initialization, which is not ok.
This was always intended this way, and even documented in client.h. Due
to an oversight it was never actually implemented.
The intention is that mpv embedded in applications and "real mpv" don't
conflict. An API user can undo this by setting the "config" option to
"yes", if using the user's mpv config is desired.
This simply writes the file name as a comment to the top of the watch later
config file.
It can be useful to the user for determining whether a watch later config file
can be manually removed (e.g. in case the corresponding media file has been
deleted) or not.
Until now, an error was reported only if the command couldn't be parsed.
Attempt to do more fine-grained reporting. This is not necessarily
perfect, but it's an improvement.
This code handles buggy AOs (even if all AOs are bug-free, it's good for
robustness). Move handling of it to the AO feed thread. Now this check
doesn't require magic numbers and does exactly what's it supposed to do.
The i_bps members of the sh_audio and dev_video structs are mostly used
for displaying the average audio and video bitrates. Keeping them in
bits-per-second avoids truncating them to bytes-per-second and changing
them back lateron.
When Lua itself prints errors such as:
Error: [string "mp.defaults"]:387: syntax error near 'function'
It's unclear why the location is prefixed with "string ". And for some
reason, it disappears if you prefix the name with '@'. I suppose this is
done for the sake of luaL_loadstring. With the '@' prefix added, the
output is now:
Error: mp.defaults:387: syntax error near 'function'
These are actually already included in osdep/io.h, but I think it's
cleaner to repeat them in the file where they are actually needed.
(osdep/io.h needs to have them for other reasons.)
Commit e2e450f9 started making use of luaL_register(), but OF COURSE
this function disappeared in Lua 5.2, and was replaced with a 5.2-only
alternative, slightly different mechanism.
So just NIH our own function. This is actually slightly more correct,
since it forces the user to call "require" to actually make the module
visible for builtin C-only modules other than "mp". Fix autoload.lua
accordingly.
We need this only because Lua's stdlib is so scarce. Lua doesn't intend
to include a complete stdlib - they confine themselves to standard C,
both for portability reasons and to keep the code minimal. But standard
C does not provide much either.
It would be possible to use Lua POSIX wrapper libraries, but that would
be a messy (and unobvious) dependency. It's better to implement the
missing functions ourselves, as long as they're small in number.
Stop using it in most places, and prefer STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE. The
advantage is that always the correct size will be used. There can be no
doubt anymore whether the end_pos value is outdated (as it happens often
with files that are being downloaded).
Some streams still use end_pos. They don't change size, and it's easier
to emulate STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE using end_pos, instead of adding a
STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE implementation to these streams.
Make sure int64_t is always used for STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE (it was
uint64_t before).
Remove the seek flags mess, and replace them with a seekable flag. Every
stream must set it consistently now, and an assertion in stream.c checks
this. Don't distinguish between streams that can only be forward or
backwards seeked, since we have no such stream types.
stream.start_pos was needed for optical media only, and (apparently) not
for very good reasons. Just get rid of it.
For stream_dvd, we don't need to do anything. Byte seeking was already
removed from it earlier.
For stream_cdda and stream_vcd, emulate the start_pos by offsetting the
stream pos as seen by the rest of mpv.
The bits in discnav.c and loadfile.c were for dealing with the code
seeking back to the start in demux.c. Handle this differently by
assuming the demuxer is always initialized with the stream at start
position, and instead seek back if initializing the demuxer fails.
Remove the --sb option, which worked by modifying stream.start_pos. If
someone really wants this option, it could be added back by creating a
"slice" stream (actually ffmpeg already has such a thing).
Small fixes for the OSC, seektooltip now enabled by default.
Option-parser now moved to separate package, can be used from
other scripts, see DOCS/man/en/lua.rst.
OSC config file location moved to lua-settings/osc.conf
The quit command has an optional argument that is used as exit code.
Extend that to the quit_watch_later command. Actually, unify the
implementations of the two commands.
Requested in #798.
Cover art is treated like video, but is not really video. In one case,
the audio sync code was accidentally still active. Fixes cover art
playback with --ao=null. (This is due to ao_null's latency emulation.
Although it's not very clear whether that is actually correct...)
vo_vdpau currently has a video queue larger than 1 entry, which causes
the video display code to never queue display the video frame. This is
because we consider cover art an endless stream of frames decoded from
the same source packet, and include special logic to actually only
decode and display 1 frame.
Also, make decode_image() also signal EOF in the cover art case.
Some options change from percentages to number of kilobytes; there are
no cache options using percentages anymore.
Raise the default values. The cache is now 25000 kilobytes, although if
your connection is slow enough, the maximum is probably never reached.
(Although all the memory will still be used as seekback-cache.)
Remove the separate --audio-file-cache option, and use the cache default
settings for it.
This is probably a good idea, because it would make it easier for
software embedding mpv to configure the mpv parts, without requiring the
host program to provide explicit mechanisms for this (other than calling
mpv_load_config_file()).
The code paths for setting options by string and by direct "raw" value
were too different, which resulted in some weird code. Make the code
paths closer to each other.
Also, use this to remove the weirdness in the mpv_set_option()
implementation.
Use the time as returned by mp_time_us() for mpthread_cond_timedwait(),
instead of calculating the struct timespec value based on a timeout.
This (probably) makes it easier to wait for a specific deadline.
When the player is paused, and video filters are changed, an exact seek
is executed to refresh the display. Increase the exactness of the seek
in this case; this reuses the code used for frame backstepping.
It might help in cases where seeking is very imprecise, such as with
transport streams.
If a property is notified as changed, and then again (before the change
notification is returned to the client), and the second change is a
sporadic change (i.e. nothing actually changed) and the change
notification was associated with with a data type, it could happen that
a change was "overlooked", because it would detect no change on the
second notification.
This is actually a pretty annoying corner case, due to the annoying way
we do things, so just store both the previously returned _and_ the newly
obtained property value. then we always compare with the user value to
check for a change, excluding any possibility of a missed change.
Note that we don't (can't/shouldn't) care if a value changes, and then
changes back; it's fine if that doesn't generate a notification. This is
due to how property notifications are supposed to be coalesced.
These are now equivalent to combining commands with the "cycle pause" or
"set pause" commands, and thus are not needed anymore. They were also
obscure and undocumented.
mpv supports per-file config files, basically filename+".conf". We use
a static buffer for the new filename, and if that buffer is too small,
we print a warning. This is confusing for e.g. long URLs, so just hide
the warning by default.
Why not dynamically allocate the buffer? Who cares.
This is done after filters, so things like framerate-doubling
deinterlacing is accounted for.
Unfortunately, framedropping can cause inaccuracies (especially after
precise seeks), and we can't really know when that happens. Even though
we know that the decoder might drop a frame if we request it to do so,
we don't know when the dropped frame will start or stop affecting the
video filter chain. Video filters can have frames buffered, and we
can't tell at which point the dropped frame would have been output.
It's not even possible to mark a discontinuity after seek, because
again we don't know if the filter chain still has the discontinuity
within its buffers.
So we have to live with the fact that the output of this property can
be completely broken after seek, unless --no-hr-seek-framedrop is used.
This allows disabling of decoder framedrop during hr-seek.
It's basically another useless option, but it will help exploring
whether this framedropping really makes seeking faster, or whether
disabling it helps with precise seeking (especially frame backstepping).
Until recently, the VO was an unavoidable part of the seeking code path.
This was because vdpau deinterlacing could double the framerate, and hr-
seek and framestepping etc. all had to "see" the additional frames. But
we've removed the frame doubling from the vdpau VO and moved it into a
video filter (vf_vdpaupp), and there's no reason left why the VO should
participate in seeking.
Instead of queuing frames to the VO during seek and skipping them
afterwards, drop the frames early.
This actually might make seeking with vo_vdpau and software decoding
faster, although I haven't measured it.
Now we avoid calling update_video() twice on reconfig (once to check
whether there are still new frames, and again to actually do the
reconfig). Instead, we check whether there's still something going on
before calling update_video() at all, and depending on that
update_video() will be allowed to reconfig or not.
This will simplify some things later.
Make it more suitable for chaining. This means a function formatting a
value to a string using a static buffer can work exactly like
mp_snprintf_append itself.
Also rename it to mp_snprintf_cat, because that's shorter.
Also remove MSGL_SMODE and friends.
Note: The indent in options.rst was added to work around a bug in
ReportLab that causes the PDF manual build to fail.
When loading a video, and a script reacts to MPV_EVENT_VIDEO_RECONFIG,
and the script inserts a video filter, the first frame can be skipped.
This happens simply because the first frame is (usually) still queued in
the video filter chain, and changing the filter chain will drop all
queued frames. So this is just a corner case that just happens in a
weird situation.
But it's still annoying when having such a script, and starting
something where the first frame is very visible, and not starting in
paused mode. (All in all, a corner case.) Do this by immediately queuing
1 filtered frame to the VO immediately after reconfig, instead of
leaving it to the video loop doing it as "incremental" work. Simply
fallthrough to the next case. We must not overwrite "r" in this case,
because that contains the current status.
Note that the first frame will not be filtered using the inserted
filter.
