Lua scripting implements key bindings by defining an input section with
all the bindings in it. Every add_key_binding() call ran a mpv command
to update this section. This caused a lot of spam at debug log levels.
Reduce the spam and more it efficient by batching updates into a single
mpv command when the script becomes inactive. This is pretty simple,
because there's already the concept of idle handlers.
This requires that the script actually goes to sleep, which might not
happen in various extremely bogus corner cases, such as polling the mpv
message queue with active waiting. Just don't do that.
Demuxers can call demux_close_stream() to close the underlying stream if
it's not needed anymore. (Useful to release "heavy" resources like FDs
and sockets. Plus merely keeping a file open can have visible side
effects such as inability to unmount a filesystem or, on Windows, to do
anything with the file.)
Until now, this set demuxer->stream to a dummy stream, because most code
used to assume that the stream field is non-NULL. But this requirement
disappeared (in some cases, the stream field is already NULL), so stop
doing that. demux_lavf.c, one of the demuxers which calls this function,
still had some of this, though.
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.
mf:// has an obscure feature that lets you pass a list of filenames
separated by newlines. Who knows whether anyone is using that. It opened
these listfiles with fopen(), so the recent stream origin bullshit
doesn't operate on it. Fix this by using the mpv internal stream API
instead. Unfortunately there is no fgets(), so write an ad-hoc one. (An
implementation of line reading via "stream" is still in demux_playlist,
but it's better to keep it quarantined there.)
During the 12th month (checked during script initialization), draw a Santa hat
on top of the idle message's logo.
Slightly refactors and optimizes the drawing process as well: reorder original
logo layers and remove redundant holes in them, use a shared line prefix
to clear the style and set start position.

Now that 00af718a made the lua read_options behavior much more similar
to the js behavior, the main difference was that lua does not re-read
the config file at on_update (but it does re-apply its stored content)
while js did re-read it.
Now the js on_update also does not re-read the config file and instead
applies its stored original content.
This is slightly hacky by adding an undocumented optional 4th argument
to read_options which allows overriding the config file content.
Make sure it gets properly reinitialized when needed. This is especially
useful now that the OSC reacts to runtime option changes, which can
change the layout too.
This may call set_property_number() on the margin properties more often
now, but since redundant option changes are ignored now, this shouldn't
have any too bad effects.
Fuck it, just let's just reinit everything.
On a side note, the changelist parameter provided by read_options()
(here "list") is now unused. But it's not hard to provide and might be
useful for other stuff. So don't remove it from the generic
read_options() code.
As described in the manpage changes. This makes more sense than the
previous approach, where options could "unexpectedly" stick. Although
this is still a somewhat arbitrary policy (ask many people and you'd get
a number of different expectations on what should happen), I think that
it reflects what mpv's builtin stuff does.
All the copying is annoying, but let's just hope nobody is stupid enough
to change these properties per video frame or something equally
ridiculous.
Apparently there are two different options for controlling which
screen an mpv window goes onto: --fs-screen and --screen. The former
explicitly only controls which screen a fullscreened window goes onto,
but does not appear to actually care about this option at runtime for
X11, so pressing f will always fullscreen to the screen mpv is currently
on. This means the option is of questionable usefulness for starters.
Making it worse, if you use --screen=1 --fs, mpv will actually fullscreen
on screen 0, because --fs-screen isn't set. Instead of doing that, fall
back to whatever --screen is set to.
This is a bit different than the lua code: on script-opts change it
simply re-applies the conf-file and script-opts to the options object,
and if this results in any changed value at options then on_update is
called with the changelist as argument.
This allows a value to revert back to the conf-file value if the
matching script-opts key had a different value and then got deleted.
It also guarantees to call back whenever the options object is
modified, which the lua code doesn't do (e.g. if the caller changed
a value and the observer changed it back - it won't detect a change).
With special attention to changing osc-visibility. Untested, although
osc-visibility works (it's pretty much equivalent to the key binding, so
there is not much interesting going on).
Somewhat inspired by code posted by github user CogentRedTester.

The way how this modifies and backups/restores user option values is a
bit of a problem for runtime option changing.
Clean this up a little. Now cycling the visibility updates the user
option value, but always to "valid" values (unlike hidetimeout used to
be used). If the user option value is changed externally (enabled by a
later commit), it'll be cleanly overwritten.
Although they were not undocumented, they were hidden away in the
respective manpage sections. It's a good idea to add them to the main
keyboard bindings overview too. stats.lua also did this.
I decided to factor this into the user's scale option (instead of
somehow using it as default if the user has not specified it), because
it makes the option handling simpler, and won't break things like
per-screen DPI if the user only wants to scale the console font by a
factor.
(X11 does not support different per-screen DPI (or only via hacks), so
this is pretty simple. If other backends are going to implement this,
then they should send VO_EVENT_WIN_STATE if the DPI for the mpv window
changes by moving it to another screen or such.)
Until now, .edl files accepted only "simple" filenames, i.e. no relative
or absolute paths, no URLs. Now that the origin bullshit is a bit
cleaned up and enforced in the EDL code, there's absolutely no reason to
keep this.
The new code behaves somewhat similar to playlists. (Although playlists
are special because they're not truly recursively opened.)
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
This has the advantage that playlists within the archive will work as
expected, because demux_playlist will correctly join the archive base
URL and entry name. Before this change, it could skip before the "|",
resulting in a broken URL.
For some inexplicable reason, the OSC runs the expand-text command a
_lot_. This command is logged at the log file default log level, so the
log file can quickly fill up with these messages. It directly violates
the mpv logging policy: per-frame (or similarly common) log messages
should not be enabled by default for the log file.
stats.lua uses the show-text command for some reason (instead of
creating its own OSD layer).
Explicitly reduce the log level for expand-text and some other commands.
Also reduce the log level for commands triggered by mouse movement.
The previous commit also contributed some to reduce log spam.
Fixes: #4771
Traditionally, the OSC used mpv's "tick" event, which was approximately
sent once per video frame. It didn't try to track any other state, and
just updated everything.
This is sort of a problem in many corner cases and non-corner cases. For
example, it would eat CPU in the paused state (probably to some degree
also the mpv core's fault), or would waste power or even throw errors
("event queue overflows") on high FPS video.
Change this to not using the tick event. Instead, react to a number of
property change events. Rate-limit actual redrawing with a timer; the
next update cannot happen sooner than the hardcoded 30ms OSC frame
duration. This has also the effect that multiple successive updates are
(mostly) coalesced.
This means the OSC won't eat your CPU when the player is fucking paused.
(It'll still update if e.g. the cache is growing, though.) There is some
potential for bugs whenever it uses properties that are not explicitly
observed. (In theory we could easily change this to a reactive concept
to avoid such things, but whatever.)
mpv_event_property (for property observation) actually never sets an
error status. You cannot distinguish between unavailable properties and
properties which returned an error. Not sure if it ever did.
I intend to rewrite this code approximately every 2 months.
Last time, I did this in commit d66eb93e5d (and 065c307e8e and
b2006eeb74). It was intended to remove the roundabout synchronous
thread "ping pong" when observing properties. At first, the original
async. code was replaced with some nice mostly synchronous code. But
then an async. code path had to be added for vo_libmpv, and finally the
sync. code was dropped because it broke in other obscure cases (like the
Objective-C Cocoa backend).
Try again. This time, update properties entirely on the main thread.
Updates get batched out on every playloop iteration. (At first I wanted
it to make it every time the player goes to sleep, but that might starve
API clients if the playloop get saturated.) One nice thing is that
clients only get woken up once all changed events have been sent, which
might reduce overhead.
While this sounds simple, it's not. The main problem is that reading
properties must not block the client API, i.e. no client API locks can
be held while reading the property. Maybe eventually we can avoid this
requirement, but currently it's just a fact. This means we have to
iterate over all clients and then over all properties (of each client),
all while releasing all locks when updating a property. Solve this by
rechecking on each iteration whether the list changed, and if so,
aborting the iteration and redo it "next time".
High risk change, expect bugs such as crashes and missing property
updates.
keyvalue_list_find_key() was called on a "partially" constructed list,
because the terminating NULL was added only later. Didn't I say this
code is cursed?
Fixes: #7273
This is for console.lua (see next commit). The idea is that console.lua
can adjust its offset to the bottom of the window by the height of the
OSC.
If the OSC is not set to permanently visible, export no margins, because
it would look weird to move the console depending on the mouse movement.
Very primitive and dumb, but fulfils its purpose for the next commits.
I chose this specific implementation because it has the lowest footprint
in command.c, without resorting to crazy hacks such as sending messages
between scripts (which would be hard to coordinate especially on
startup).
