We found that the stretching - although it usually improves the looks of
the fonts - is incorrect.
On DVD, subtitles can cover the full area of the picture, and they have
the same pixel aspect as the movie itself.
Too bad many commercially released DVDs use bitmap fonts made with the
wrong pixel aspect (i.e. assuming 1:1) - --stretch-dvd-subs will make
these more pretty then.
The previous code used the output video's pixel aspect for stretching
purposes, breaking rendering with e.g. -vf scale in the chain. Now
subtitles are stretched using the input video's pixel aspect only,
matching the intentions of the original subtitle author.
The configure followed 5 different convetions of defines because the next guy
always wanted to introduce a new better way to uniform it[1]. For an
hypothetic feature 'hurr' you could have had:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #undef CONFIG_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #define HAVE_DURR 0
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #define CONFIG_DURR 0
All is now uniform and uses:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1
* #define HAVE_DURR 0
We like definining to 0 as opposed to `undef` bcause it can help spot typos
and is very helpful when doing big reorganizations in the code.

DVD subs (rarely) have subtitle events without end timestamp. The
duration is unknown, and they should be displayed until they're
replaced by the next event.
FFmpeg fails hard to make us aware whether duration is unknown or
actually 0, so we can't distinguish between these two cases. It fails
at this twice: AVPacket.duration is set to 0 if duration is unknown,
and AVSubtitle.end_display_time has the same issue.
Add a hack that considers all bitmap subtitles with duration==0 as
events with uknown length. I'd rather accidentally display a hidden
subtitle (if they exist at all), instead of not displaying random
subtitles at all.
See github issue #325.
First, don't try to seek if the result is 0 (i.e. nothing found, or
subtitle event happens to be exactly on spot).
Second, since we never can make sure that we actually seek to the exact
subtitle PTS (seeking "snaps" to video PTS), offset the seek by 10ms.
Since most subtitle events are longer than 10ms, this should work fine.
This is pretty much a hack for the OSC. It will allow it to rely on a
somewhat predictable style, instead of having to overwrite all user
OSD settings manually with override tags.
This is preliminary. There are still tons of issues, and any aspect
of scripting may change in the future. I decided to merge this
(preliminary) work now because it makes it easier to develop it, not
because it's done. lua.rst is clear enough about it (plus some
sarcasm).
This requires linking to Lua. Lua has no official pkg-config file, but
there are distribution specific .pc files, all with different names.
Adding a non-pkg-config based configure test was considered, but we'd
rather not.
One major complication is that libquvi links against Lua too, and if
the Lua version is different from mpv's, you will get a crash as soon
as libquvi uses Lua. (libquvi by design always runs when a file is
opened.) I would consider this the problem of distros and whoever
builds mpv, but to make things easier for users, we add a terrible
runtime test to the configure script, which probes whether libquvi
will crash. This is disabled when cross-compiling, but in that case
we hope the user knows what he is doing.
This code was made inactive some months ago. At this time it wasn't
entirely clear whether this code was still needed, but now I'm pretty
sure it isn't. Even if it is, it didn't work anymore.
Cherry picked from various commits in lua_experiment by ChrisK2.
The metrics of the OSD symbols change slightly, possibly due to the
font editor that was used, and the metrics were not correct to begin
with. (But the real reason seems unknown.) Remove the rescaling of
the OSD font in ASS_USE_OSD_FONT, because the height more or less fits
now. (This change wasn't in the lua_experiment branch.)
Even if a subtitle was explicitly loaded with -sub, it was still auto-
loaded (if auto-loading applied to that file). Fix this by explicitly
checking whether a file is already loaded.
The check is maximal naive and just compares the filenames as strings.
The change in find_subfiles.c is so that "-sub something.ass" happens to
work (auto-loading prepended a "./" to it, so the naive filename
comparison check didn't work).
External vobsubs usually come as .idx/.sub pairs. Loading the .idx file
implicitly loads the .sub file, whereas loading the .sub file will kind
of work, but miss important information such as subtitle resolution. Or
in other words, if the .idx file exists, adding the .sub file as track
is useless and confusing.
Explicitly remove .sub file from the auto-load suntitle list in these
cases. Standalone .sub files are still loaded.
We also drop that weird logic that excluded .utf8 files from being
loaded if -subcp was in use. I hope the associated use case didn't make
much sense to begin with. If not, we could still implement it properly,
instead of this weird hack.
Use mp_path_exists() to check for existence of a file (which in turn
uses stat()), instead of opening and closing it. The difference is that
if we don't have sufficient permissions to read the subtitle files, we
will loudly complain. Personally, I prefer this behavior.
The way this was added to FFmpeg is less than ideal, because it requires
text parsing in the Matroska demuxer. But in order to use the FFmpeg
webvtt-to-ass converter, we still have to mimic this in some way. We do
this by putting the parsing into sd_lavc_conv.c, before the subtitle
packet is passed to libavcodec. At least this keeps the ugliness out of
unrelated code.
There is some change that FFmpeg will fix their design eventually.
Instead of rewriting the parsing code, we simply borrow it from FFmpeg's
Matroska demuxer.
Not actually useful. This would break whenever a new text subtitle
format would be added, which requires a binary->text transformation.
(mov_text is one such format; disable it.) In general, we would have
to know which packet formats are binary, which we don't, so the only
reasonable way to handle this is a white list.
Broken UTF-8 in this context means we treat it as UTF-8, but we also
interpret broken UTF-8 sequences as Latin1.
Also, run our own UTF-8 check function before the charset detectors.
This prevents from ENCA's UTF-8 check possibly messing up (like
detecting 7-bit clean UTF-8 as ASCII, or other things). It also takes
care of UTF-8 detection if no charset detector (ENCA, libguess) is
compiled in, and it lets us deal better with cut-off UTF-8 sequences.
The fix_overlaps_and_gaps() function in dec_sub.c fixes small gaps or
overlaps between subtitle events. However, sometimes it could happen
that the corrected subtitle events could overlap by 1ms due to bad
rounding, making libass shift subtitles to reduce collisions. (The
second subtitle will be shown above the previous one, even if both
subtitles are visible only for 1ms.)
sd_ass.c rounds the timestamps when converting to integers for unknown
reasons. I think it would work fine without that rounding, but since
I have no clue why it rounds, and since it could be needed to ensure
correct timestamps with ASS subtitles demuxed from Matroska, I'd rather
not touch it. So the solution is to use already rounded timestamps to
calculate the new subtitle duration in fix_overlaps_and_gaps().
See github issue #182.
This reverts commit 689a25003f, with some
adjustments to code that was added after that commit.
I just messed up big time. We don't need this, and in fact the commit
confused straight and premultiplied alpha at one point (just a simple
inverted condition due to an oversight), which is why it looked like
it was working.
In commit 2827295 I wrote:
Also, libva can't decide whether it accepts straight or premultiplied
alpha for OSD sub-pictures [...]
That was just me messing up and being severely confused by my own bugs.
VA API uses premultiplied alpha, which by the way is nice and
thoughtful of the VA API devs.
Well, this was stupid. But in the end, I'm glad that I could actually
reduce codesize by a good amount again.
This is for VAAPI support. VAAPI does not support premultiplied alpha
for OSD. (Normally, we prefer premultiplied, because it has better
behavior on scaling.)
I'm not sure whether blending in the ASS->RGBA part is correct and I
didn't test it extensively.
In general, this warning can hint to actual bugs. We don't enable it
yet, because it would conflict with some unmerged code, and we should
check with clang too (this commit was done by testing with gcc).
I'm not sure what's correct: stretching the DVD subtitles from storage
aspect ratio to video display aspect ratio, or displaying subtitles
using 1:1 PAR. Until now, DVD subtitles (as well as all other bitmap
subtitles) were always stretched to the video. There are good arguments
why this would be the correct behavior: DVDs were made for playback on
TV, which display anamorphic video by adjusting the horizontal refresh
rate, and thus wouldn't even be capable of DVD subtitles with square PAR
(other than resampling the subtitles additionally).
However, I haven't seen a sample yet where subtitles do _not_ look
stretched using this method. Rendering them at 1:1 PAR looks better.
Technically, we render them at display PAR (and not 1:1 PAR). Do this in
a way so that the subtitle area is always inside of the video frame if
display and video aspect ratios mismatch.
For DVB subtitles, the old method looks more correct, so this is special
cased to DVD subtitles.
I might revert this commit if it turns out that it's an disimprovement.
Partial packet reads were needed because the video/audio parsers were
working on top of them. So it could happen that a parser read a part of
a packet, and returned that to the decoder. With libavformat/libavcodec,
packets are already parsed, and everything is much simpler.
Most of the simplifications in ad_spdif could have been done earlier.
Remove some other stuff as well, like the questionable slave mode start
time reporting (could be replaced by proper code, but we don't bother).
Remove the unused skip_audio_frame() functionality as well (it was used
by old demuxers). Some functions become private to demux.c, like
demux_fill_buffer(). Introduce new packet read functions, which have
simpler semantics. Packets returned from them are owned by the caller,
and all packets in the demux.c packet queue are considered unread.
Remove special code that dropped subtitle packets with size 0. This
used to be needed because it caused special cases in the old code.
Delete demux_avi, demux_asf, demux_mpg, demux_ts. libavformat does
better than them (except in rare corner cases), and the demuxers have
a bad influence on the rest of the code. Often they don't output
proper packets, and require additional audio and video parsing. Most
work only in --no-correct-pts mode.
Remove them to facilitate further cleanups.
This means the direct libass usage can be removed from command.c, and no
weird hacks for retrieving the ASS_Track are needed.
Also fix a bug when using this feature with ordered chapters.
