glXCreateContextAttribsARB() by design can throw some X11 errors. We
ignore these, but we generally still print error messages to the
terminal. This was confusing/annoying users, so silence it. The stupid
part is that the Xlib error handler is global, so we have to be slightly
careful here.
This gets rid of an old hack, VOFLAG_HIDDEN. Although handling of it has
been sane for a while, it used to cause much pain, and is still
unintuitive and weird even today.
The main reason for this hack is that OpenGL selects a X11 Visual for
you, and you're supposed to use this Visual when creating the X window
for the OpenGL context. Which means the X window can't be created early
in the common X11 init code, but the OpenGL code needs to do something
before that. API-wise you need separate functions for X11 init and X11
window creation. The VOFLAG_HIDDEN hack conflated window creation and
the entrypoint for resizing on video resolution change into one
function, vo_x11_config_vo_window(). This required all platform backends
to handle this flag, even if they didn't need this mechanism.
Wayland still uses this for minor reasons (alpha support?), so the
wayland backend must be changed before the flag can be entirely removed.
If the drag and drop action is anything other than
XdndActionCopy, append the dropped files rather than
replacing the existing playlist. With most file managers,
this will mean at least pressing shift while dropping.
Less code, and avoids a black flash on start.
In theory it could happen that we map the window, and then don't have a
frame to draw - but mapping the window is done in the exact moment we
have a new frame to display.
It sometimes happens on exit, and it's probably a bad idea. If the
process hangs on exit (possibly due to stupid hardcoded timeouts it's
doing), mpv will also hang now, unfortunately.
We already use 2 screensaver APIs when attempting to disable the
screensaver: XResetScreenSaver() (from xlib) and XScreenSaverSuspend
(from the X11 Screen Saver extension). None of these actually work.
On modern desktop Linux, we are expected to make dbus calls using some
freedesktop-defined protocol (and possibly we'd have to fallback to a
Gnome specific one). At least xscreensaver doesn't respect the "old"
APIs either.
Solve this by running the xdg-screensaver script. It's a terrible, ugly
piece of shit (just read the script if you disagree), but at least it
appears to work everywhere. It's also simpler than involving various
dbus client libraries.
I hope this can replace the --heartbeat-cmd option, and maybe we could
remove our own DPMS/XSS code too.
This queries the _ICC_PROFILE property on the root window. It also tries
to reload the ICC when it changes, or if the mpv window changes the
monitor. (If multiple monitors are covered, mpv will randomly select one
of them.)
The official spec is a dead link on freedesktop.org, so don't blame me
for any bugs.
Note that this assumes that Xinerama screen numbers match the way mpv
enumerates the xrandr monitors. Although there is some chance that this
matches, it most likely doesn't, and we actually have to do complicated
things to map the screen numbers. If it turns out that this is required,
I will fix it as soon as someone with a suitable setup for testing the
fix reports it.
XRRGetOutputInfo contains a "name" element which corresponds to to the
display names given to the user by the "xrandr" command line
utility. Copy it into the xrandr_display struct for each display.
On VOCTRL_GET_DISPLAY_NAMES, send a copy of the names
of the displays spanned by the mpv window on.
Some window managers can prevent mapping of a window as a feature. i3
can put new windows on a certain workspace (with "assign"), so if mpv is
started on a different workspace, the window will never be mapped.
mpv currently waits until the window is mapped (blocking almost all of
the player), in order to avoid race conditions regarding the window
size. We don't want to remove this, but on the other hand we also don't
want to block the player forever in these situations.
So what we need is a way to know when the window manager is "done" with
processing the map request. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a
standard way for this. So, instead we could do some arbitrary
communication with the WM, that may act as "barrier" after map request
and the "immediate" mapping of the window. If the window is not mapped
after this barrier, it means the window manager decided to delay the
mapping indefinitely. Use the _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS message as such
a barrier. WMs supporting this message must set the _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS
property on the mpv window, and we receive a PropertyNotify event. If
that happens, we always continue and cancel waiting for the MapNotify
event.
I don't know if this is sane or if there's a better mechanism. Also,
this works only for WMs which support this message, which are not many.
But at least it appears to work on i3. It may reintroduce flickering on
fullscreen with other WMs, though.
If the Xrandr configuration changes, re-read it. So if you change
display modes or screen configuration, it will update the framedrop
refresh rate accordingly.
This passes the rootwin to XRRSelectInput(), which may or may not be
allowed. But it works, and the documentation (which is worse than used
toilet paper, great job Xorg) doesn't forbid it, or in fact say anything
about what the window parameter is even used for.
Drop use of the ancient XF86VM, and use the slightly less ancient Xrandr
extension to retrieve the refresh rate. Xrandr has the advantage that it
supports multiple monitors (at least the modern version of it).
For now, we don't attempt any dynamic reconfiguration. We don't request
and listen to Xrandr events, and we don't notify the VO code of changes
in the refresh rate. (The later works by assuming that X coordinates map
directly to Xrandr coordinates, which probably is wrong with compositing
window manager, at least if these use complicated transformations. But I
know of no API to handle this.)
It would be nice to drop use of the Xinerama extension too, but
unfortunately, at least one EWMH feature uses Xinerama screen numbers,
and I don't know how that maps to Xrandr outputs.
It seems we can't really get rid of this. There are no other hints to
remove decorations that work across all reasonable WMs, so we're stuck
with the ugly motif stuff.
But at least we can make the code for it less ugly.
Enabling DPMS even though you disabled it globally is pretty unfriendly,
so don't do it. Instead, we only disable DPMS if it was enabled, and
only enable it if we disabled it ourselves.
The other way should never happen (disabling DPMS permanently), unless
mpv crashes during playback.
Reduces some code-duplication.
Just call DPMSEnable/DPMSDisable, instead of DPMSForceLevel when
reenabling DPMS. "Force" sounds evil, and messing with DPMS is already
pretty evil. I'm not even sure that we should.
It was added with 3813c685 in 2004. I'm not really sure why this gravity
stuff would be needed; apparently it has to do with misplacements with
broken WMs and had to be changed on fullscreen. Just get rid of it; it
works perfectly fine without on modern WMs.
The thread discussing this is here:
http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2004-July/027674.html
We don't check whether the WM supports _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE_MOVE, but
if it doesn't, nothing bad happens. There might be a race condition
when pressing a button, and then moving the mouse and releasing the
button at the same time; then the WM might get the message to initiate
moving the window after the mouse button has been released, in which
case the result will probably be annoying. This could possibly be fixed
by sending _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE_CANCEL on button release, but on the
other hand, we probably won't receive a button release event in this
situation, so ignore this problem.
The dragging is initiated only when moving the mouse pointer after a
click in order to reduce annoying behavior when the user is e.g.
doubleclicking.
Closes#608.
Drag and drop is pretty complicated (just note how the number of Atoms
in use almost doubles), so I'm not sure whether this works everywhere.
This has been written by looking at the specification [1] or what looks
like the specification, and some external example code [2]. (The latter
one has no code license, but we didn't copy any code.)
We completely ignore the "requirement" of the spec. that the filename
"must" include username and hostname, e.g. "file://user@host/path/file".
In theory, this is required because X is network transparent, but at
this point the so called network transparency is a complete joke, and
Konqueror for one didn't include hostnames in "file://" URIs.
Tested with konqueror as drop source.

In my opinion, config.h inclusions should be kept to a minimum. MPlayer
code really liked including config.h everywhere, though, even in often
used header files. Try to reduce this.
Trying to toggle the border during fullscreen (with "cycle border")
would leave the window stuck without border, and it couldn't be
restored. This was because vo_x11_decoration() always excepted to be
called when toggling the state, and thus confusing the contents of the
olddecor variable. Add got_motif_hints to hopefully prevent this.
Also, when changing the border, don't take fs in account. May break on
older/broken WMs, but all in all is in fact more robust and simpler,
because you do not need to update the border state manually when
returning from fullscreen.
vo_x11 had a clever trick to implement a video equalizer: it requested a
DirectColor visual. This is a X11 mechanism which allows you to specify
a lookup table for each color channel. Effectively, this is a safe
override for the graphic card's gamma ramp. If X thinks the window
deserves priority over other windows in the system, X would temporarily
switch the gamma ramp so that DirectColor visuals can be displayed as
the application intends. (I'm not sure what the exact policy is, but in
practice, this meant the equalizer worked when the mouse button was
inside the window.)
But all in all, this is just lots of useless code for a feature that is
rarely ever useful. Remove it and use the libswscale equalizer instead.
(This comes without a cost, since vo_x11 already uses libswscale.)
One worry was that using DirectColor could have made it work better in
8-bit paletted mode. But this is not the case: there's no difference,
and in both cases, the video looks equally bad.
The png file added to etc/ are taken from the link mentioned in commit
303096b, except that they have been converted to 16 bit, sRGB (with
color profile info dropped, if there was one), and transparent pixels
reset for better compression.
The file x11_icon.bin is generated by gen-x11-icon.sh. I'm adding it to
the git repo directly, because the script requires ImageMagick, and we
don't want to make building even more complicated.
The way how this is done is basically a compromise between effort
required in x11_common.c and in gen-x11-icon.sh. Ideally, x11_icon.bin
would be directly in the format as required by _NET_WM_ICON, but trying
to write the binary width/height values from shell would probably be a
nightmare, so here we go.
The zlib code in x11_common.c is lifted from demux_mkv.c, with some
modifications (like accepting a gzip header, because I don't know how to
make gzip write raw compressed data).
There was a MPOpts fullscreen field, a mp_vo_opts.fs field, and
VOFLAG_FULLSCREEN. Remove all these and introduce a
mp_vo_opts.fullscreen flag instead.
When VOs receive VOCTRL_FULLSCREEN, they are supposed to set the
current fullscreen mode to the state in mp_vo_opts.fullscreen. They
also should do this implicitly on config().
VOs which are capable of doing so can update the mp_vo_opts.fullscreen
if the actual fullscreen mode changes (e.g. if the user uses the
window manager controls). If fullscreen mode switching fails, they
can also set mp_vo_opts.fullscreen to the actual state.
Note that the X11 backend does almost none of this, and it has a
private fs flag to store the fullscreen flag, instead of getting it
from the WM. (Possibly because it has to deal with broken WMs.)
The fullscreen option has to be checked on config() to deal with
the -fs option, especially with something like:
mpv --fs file1.mkv --{ --no-fs file2.mkv --}
(It should start in fullscreen mode, but go to windowed mode when
playing file2.mkv.)

GetTimer() is generally replaced with mp_time_us(). Both calls return
microseconds, but the latter uses int64_t, us defined to never wrap,
and never returns 0 or negative values.
GetTimerMS() has no direct replacement. Instead the other functions are
used.
For some code, switch to mp_time_sec(), which returns the time as double
float value in seconds. The returned time is offset to program start
time, so there is enough precision left to deliver microsecond
resolution for at least 100 years. Unless it's casted to a float
(or the CPU reduces precision), which is why we still use mp_time_us()
out of paranoia in places where precision is clearly needed.
Always switch to the correct time. The whole point of the new timer
calls is that they don't wrap, and storing microseconds in unsigned int
variables would negate this.
In some cases, remove wrap-around handling for time values.
Instead of having separate callbacks for each backend-handled feature
(like MPGLContext.fullscreen, MPGLContext.border, etc.), pass the
VOCTRL responsible for this directly to the backend. This allows
removing a bunch of callbacks, that currently must be set even for
optional/lesser features (like VOCTRL_BORDER).
This requires changes to all VOs using gl_common, as well as all
backends that support gl_common.
Also introduce VOCTRL_CHECK_EVENTS. vo.check_events is now optional.
VO backends can use VOCTRL_CHECK_EVENTS instead to implementing
check_events. This has the advantage that the event handling code in
VOs doesn't have to be duplicated if vo_control() is used.
Block X11's native key repeat, and use mpv's key repeat handling in
input.c instead.
No configure check for XKB. Even though it's an extension, it has been
part of most (all?) xlibs since 1996. If XKB appears to be missing,
just refuse enabling x11.
This is a potentially controversial change. mpv will use its own key
repeat rate, instead of X11's. This should be better, because seeking
will have a standardized "speed" (seek events per seconds when keeping
a seek key held down). It will also allow disabling key repears for
certain commands, though this is not done anywhere yet.
The new behavior can be disabled with the --native-keyrepeat option.
The vo_x11_clearwindow_part() function assumed that the video is always
centered. Replace it with a new vo_x11_clear_background() function
instead, which essentially does the same as the old function. It takes
the video rectangle instead of just the video size, and doesn't have to
make the assumption that the video rectangle is centered.
Also make vo_x11 use it (seems advantageous).
vo_opengl creates an invisible window with VOFLAG_HIDDEN in order to
test whether the OpenGL context is useable. The visible window is
created at a later point. This has been broken forever (in vo_gl,
now called vo_opengl_old, it could be avoided by disabling auto-
detection explicitly using the "yuv" sub-option). Avoiding
VOFLAG_HIDDEN only mitigates the issue, and a related bug can still
happen with some window managers (see below).
As a hack, code was added to vo_gl to destroy the (hidden) window so
that all state was destroyed. Later, more hacks were added to deal with
some caveats that came with recreating the window, such as probing for
the context up to 4 times.
Attempt to fix the problem properly. There were two problems: first,
the window was not resized to video size before mapping. This was the
main cause for the placement issue, e.g. mapping the window as 320x200,
and then resizing it. Second, mpv tried to force the window position
with XSetWMNormalHints and PPosition with values it just read with
XGetGeometry. This messes up the window manager's default placement.
It seems to be a race condition, and behavior is different across
various WMs too: with IceWM, the window manager's placement is usually
preferred, and with Fluxbox, mpv's position is preferred. mpv's default
position is centering the window on the screen, which is much nicer for
video in general than typical WM default placement, so it's possible
that this bug was perceived as a feature. (Users who want this have to
use --geometry="50%:50%", doing this by default is probably not safe
with all WMs.)
Since the old code was hard to follow and full of issues, it's easier
to redo it. Move general window creation stuff out of the
vo_x11_config_vo_window function, and move the resize logic into it.
This has been tested on IcwWM, Fluxbox, awesome, Unity/Compiz.
Store the window state (position and size) in vo_x11_state, instead of
in vo->dx/dy/dwidth/dheight. The VO variables are overwritten by vo.c on
every vo_config() call, which is extremely not helpful.
Now vo->dx/dy are mostly unused (except for passing the position forced
by the --geometry option), and vo->dwidth/dheight are set for the VO,
and otherwise read for resize detection only.
In the long term, the way vo_config() handles the --geometry option
should be changed, and vo->dx/dy should be removed.
Remove some useless stuff: VO_EVENT_MOVE and VO_EVENT_KEYPRESS were
generated, but unused. Wayland changes by Alexander Preisinger.
This allowed making the player switch the monitor video mode when
creating the video window. This was a questionable feature, and with
today's LCD screens certainly not useful anymore. Switching to a random
video mode (going by video width/height) doesn't sound too useful
either.
I'm not sure about the win32 implementation, but the X part had several
bugs. Even in mplayer-svn (where x11_common.c hasn't been receiving any
larger changes for a long time), this code is buggy and doesn't do the
right thing anyway. (And what the hell _did_ it do when using multiple
physical monitors?)
If you really want this, write a shell script that calls xrandr before
and after calling mpv.
vo_sdl still can do mode switching, because SDL has native support for
it, and using it is trivial. Add a new sub-option for this.
create_window is really bad naming, because this function can be called
multiple times, while the name implies that it always creates a new
window. At least the name config_window is not actively misleading.
`--fs-screen` allows to decide what display to go fullscreen into. The
semantics of `--screen` changed and now it is only used to select the windowed
display when starting the application.
This is useful for people using mpv with an external TV. They will start
windowed on their laptop's screen and switch to fullscreen on the TV.
@wm4 worked on the x11 and w32 parts of the code. All is squashed in one
commit for history clarity.
