Make concat streams use the "worst" origin of its parts, which may or
may not be what makes sense. stream_memory has no natural way to do
this, so just add a vague comment.
mpv has a very weak and very annoying policy that determines whether a
playlist should be used or not. For example, if you play a remote
playlist, you usually don't want it to be able to read local filesystem
entries. (Although for a media player the impact is small I guess.)
It's weak and annoying as in that it does not prevent certain cases
which could be interpreted as bad in some cases, such as allowing
playlists on the local filesystem to reference remote URLs. It probably
barely makes sense, but we just want to exclude some other "definitely
not a good idea" things, all while playlists generally just work, so
whatever.
The policy is:
- from the command line anything is played
- local playlists can reference anything except "unsafe" streams
("unsafe" means special stream inputs like libavfilter graphs)
- remote playlists can reference only remote URLs
- things like "memory://" and archives are "transparent" to this
This commit does... something. It replaces the weird stream flags with a
slightly clearer "origin" value, which is now consequently passed down
and used everywhere. It fixes some deviations from the described policy.
I wanted to force archives to reference only content within them, but
this would probably have been more complicated (or required different
abstractions), and I'm too lazy to figure it out, so archives are now
"transparent" (playlists within archives behave the same outside).
There may be a lot of bugs in this.
This is unfortunately a very noisy commit because:
- every stream open call now needs to pass the origin
- so does every demuxer open call (=> params param. gets mandatory)
- most stream were changed to provide the "origin" value
- the origin value needed to be passed along in a lot of places
- I was too lazy to split the commit
Fixes: #7274
It was set, but its value was never used. The stream cache used to use
it, but it was removed. It controlled how much data it tried to read
from the underlying stream at once.
The user can now control the buffer size with --stream-buffer-size,
which achieves a similar effect, because the stream will in the common
case read half of the buffer size at once. In fact, the new default size
is 128KB, i.e. 64KB read size, which is as much as stream_file and
stream_cb requested by default. stream_memory requested more, but it
doesn't matter anyway. Only stream_smb set a larger size with 128KB.
Add yet another variant of the stream open function. This time, make it
so that it's possible to add new open parameters in an extendable way,
which should put an end to having to change this every other year.
Effectively get rid of the overly special stream_create_instance()
function and use the new one instead, which requires changes in
stream_concat.c and stream_memory.c. The function is still in private in
stream.c, but I preferred to make the mentioned users go through the new
function for orthogonality. The error handling (mostly logging) was
adjusted accordingly.
This should not have any functional changes. (To preempt any excuses, I
didn't actually test stream_concat and stream_memory.)
