There was already an undocumented mechanism provided by
mp.set_key_bindings and other functions, but this was relatively
verbose, and also weird. It was mainly to make the OSC happy (including
being efficient and supporting weird corner cases), while the new
functions try to be a bit simpler.
This also provides a way to let users rebind script-provided commands.
(This mechanism is less efficient, because it's O(n^2) for n added key
bindings, but it shouldn't matter.)
Return the error Lua-style, instead of raising it as Lua error. This is
better, because raising errors is reserved for more "fatal" conditions.
Pretending they're exceptions and trying to do exception-style error
handling will just lead to pain in this language.
This is partial only, and it still accesses some MPContext internals.
Specifically, chapter and track lists are still read directly, and OSD
access is special-cased too.
The OSC seems to work fine, except using the fast-forward/backward
buttons. These buttons behave differently, because the OSC code had
certain assumptions how often its update code is called.
The Lua interface changes slightly.
Note that this has the odd property that Lua script and video start
at the same time, asynchronously. If this becomes an issue, explicit
synchronization could be added.
Do two things:
1. add locking to struct osd_state
2. make struct osd_state opaque
While 1. is somewhat simple, 2. is quite horrible. Lots of code accesses
lots of osd_state (and osd_object) members. To make sure everything is
accessed synchronously, I prefer making osd_state opaque, even if it
means adding pretty dumb accessors.
All of this is meant to allow running VO in their own threads.
Eventually, VOs will request OSD on their own, which means osd_state
will be accessed from foreign threads.
The values set by this new option can be queried by Lua scripts using
the mp.getopt() function. The function takes a string parameter, and
returns the value of the first key that matches. If no key matches, nil
is returned.
When the Lua code was written, the core didn't have names for log levels
yet (just numbers). The only user visible change is that "verbose"
becomes "v", since this level had different names.
Adds the following Lua function to enable message events:
mp.enable_messages(size, level)
size is the maximum number of messages the ringbuffer consists of. level
is the minimum log level for a message to be added to the ringbuffer,
and uses the same values as the mp.log() function. (Actually not yet,
but this will be fixed in the following commit.)
The messages will be delivered via the mp_event() in the user script,
using "message" as event name. The event argument is a table with the
following fields:
level: log level of the message (string as in mp.log())
prefix: string identifying the module of origin
text: contents of the message
As of currently, the message text will contain newline characters. A
message can consist of several lines. It is also possible that a
message doesn't end with a newline, and a caller can use multiple
messages to "build" a line. Most messages will contain exactly 1 line
ending with a single newline character, though.
If the message buffer overflows (messages are not read quickly enough),
new messages are lost until the queued up messages are read. At the
point of the overflow, a special overflow message is inserted. It will
have prefix set to "overflow", and the message text is set to "".
Care should be taken not to print any messages from the message event
handler. This would lead to an infinite loop (the event handler would be
called again after returning, because a new message is available). This
includes mp.log() and all mp.msg.* functions. Keep in mind that the Lua
print() function is mapped to mp.msg.info().
There's a single mp_msg() in path.c, but all path lookup functions seem
to depend on it, so we get a rat-tail of stuff we have to change. This
is probably a good thing though, because we can have the path lookup
functions also access options, so we could allow overriding the default
config path, or ignore the MPV_HOME environment variable, and such
things.
Also take the chance to consistently add talloc_ctx parameters to the
path lookup functions.
Also, this change causes a big mess on configfiles.c. It's the same
issue: everything suddenly needs a (different) context argument. Make it
less wild by providing a mp_load_auto_profiles() function, which
isolates most of it to configfiles.c.
So you can pass a command as list of strings (each item is an argument),
instead of having to worry about escaping and such.
These functions also take an argument for the default command flags. In
particular, this allows setting saner defaults for commands sent by
program code.
Expose this to Lua as mp.send_commandv command (suggestions for a better
name welcome). The Lua version doesn't allow setting the default command
flags, but it can still use command prefixes. The default flags are
different from input.conf, and disable OSD and property expansion.
Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
