--x11-netwm=yes now forces NetWM fullscreen, while --x11-netwm=auto
(detect whether NetWM fullsctreen support is available) is the old
behavior and still the default.
See #888.
Another fallout resulting from the changes whether or not to wait for
mapping the window. In this case, it obviously makes no sense to wait
for mapping, because the root window is always mapped. Mapping will
never happen, and it would wait forever.
Fixes#1139.

At least on kwin, we decide to proceed without waiting for the window
being mapped (due to the frame exts hack, see commit 8c002b79). But that
leaves us with a window size of 0x0, which causes VdpOutputSurfaceCreate
to fail. This prints some warnings, although vo_vdpau recovers later and
this has no other bad consequences.
Do the following things to deal with this:
- set the "known" window size to the suggested window size before the
window is even created
- allow calling XGetGeometry on the window even if the window is not
mapped yet (this should work just fine)
- make the output surface minimum size 1x1
Strictly speaking, only one of these would be required to make the
warning disappear, but they're all valid changes and increase robustness
and correctness. At no point we use a window size of 0x0 as magic value
for "unset" or unknown size, so keeping it unset has no purpose anyway.

Commit 64b7811c tried to do the "right thing" with respect to whether
keyboard input should be enabled or not. It turns out that X11 does
something stupid by design. All modern toolkits work around this native
X11 behavior, but embedding breaks these workarounds.
The only way to handle this correctly is the XEmbed protocol. It needs
to be supported by the toolkit, and probably also some mpv support. But
Qt has inconsistent support for it. In Qt 4, a X11 specific embedding
widget was needed. Qt 5.0 doesn't support it at all. Qt 5.1 apparently
supports it via QWindow, but if it really does, I couldn't get it to
work.
So add a hack instead. The new --input-x11-keyboard option controls
whether mpv should enable keyboard input on the X11 window or not. In
the command line player, it's enabled by default, but in libmpv it's
disabled.
This hack has the same problem as all previous embedding had: move the
mouse outside of the window, and you don't get keyboard input anymore.
Likewise, mpv will steal all keyboard input from the parent application
as long as the mouse is inside of the mpv window.
Also see issue #1090.
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.
When embedding a X window, it's hard to control whether it receives
mouse/keyboard input or not. It seems the X protocol itself makes this
hard (basically due to the outdated design mismatching with modern
toolkits), and we have to take care of these things explicitly.
Simply do this by manually querying and using the parent window event
flags.
This restores some MPlayer behavior (it doesn't add back exactly the
same code, but it's very similar).
This probably has some potential to interfere with libmpv embedding, so
bump the client API minor.
CC: @mpv-player/stable (if applied, client-api-changes.rst has to be
adjusted to include the 0.5.2 release)
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
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.
This is always included in the Xorg development headers. Strictly
speaking it's not necessarily available with other X implementations,
but these are hopefully all dead.
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.
This mostly uses the same idea as with vo_vdpau.c, but much simplified.
On X11, it tries to get the display framerate with XF86VM, and limits
the frequency of new video frames against it. Note that this is an old
extension, and is confirmed not to work correctly with multi-monitor
setups. But we're using it because it was already around (it is also
used by vo_vdpau).
This attempts to predict the next vsync event by using the time of the
last frame and the display FPS. Even if that goes completely wrong,
the results are still relatively good.
On other systems, or if the X11 code doesn't return a display FPS, a
framerate of 1000 is assumed. This is infinite for all practical
purposes, and means that only frames which are definitely too late are
dropped. This probably has worse results, but is still useful.
"--framedrop=yes" is basically replaced with "--framedrop=decoder". The
old framedropping mode is kept around, and should perhaps be improved.
Dropping on the decoder level is still useful if decoding itself is too
slow.
Xlib is not thread-safe. Or actually it is, but it's an incomprehensible
hack that was added later, and which needs to be acitvated manually
(this makes no sense). And it appears that the vdpau accesses X from the
decoder thread if GLX interop is used (and not in any other situations -
this doesn't make too much sense either).
So, just call the magic function that enables Xlib thread-safety.
Cast away the "extra" bits (since apparently Window/XID is always
32 bit unsigned). This is not striclty needed, because you're not
supposed to pass garbage to --wid, just because the upper bits are
possibly not interpreted. But if you do so, this change increases
consistency in behavior and removes a strange behavior that was
thought to be a bug.
Also see github issue #906.
Apparently clearing on every map can cause problems with vdpau when
switching virtual desktops and such. This was observed with at least
XMonad and nvidia-340.17. It's not observed on some other setups without
XMonad.
It's not clear why this happens. Normally, the window background is not
saved, so clearing should have no additional affect. It's a complete
mystery. Possible, the use of legacy X drawing commands (used to clear
the window) interferes with vdpau operation in non-trivial ways.
Work this around by clearing on initial map only. This probably only
hides the underlying issue, but good enough.
Closes#897.

While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
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.
Setting this property was added 12 years ago, and the code was always
incorrect. The underlying data type is "long", not "pid_t". It's well
possible that the data types are different, and the pointer to the pid
variable is directly passed to XChangeProperty, possibly invoking
undefined behavior.
It's funny, because in theory using pid_t for PIDs sounds more correct.
_WIN_LAYER is apparently an old GNOME thing (also explains why there is
a function vo_x11_get_gnome_layer() involved in this code). Prefer the
NetWM hints over this. This just moves the NetWM case if-body over the
_WIN_LAYER one.
You can't use identifiers starting with "_" and an uppercase letter in
application programs. They are reserved by the C standard.
Unrelated change: drop unused/misleading vo_wm_NETWM define.
I can only assume the old code was wrong. EWMH does not document
anything with _WIN_LAYER. Instead, you have to toggle the state using a
client message. We also remove these weird non-sense fallbacks, like
using _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW - what the hell?
This works around an issue in OpenBox: OpenBox apparently sizes the
normal window incorrectly if aspect ratio hints are set, and the window
size is off by 1 pixel. Then, when going fullscreen and leaving
fullscreen again, mpv sets the hints based on OpenBox' broken window
size, and as result, OpenBox sizes the window incorrectly and is off by
1 pixel again - so it's 2 pixels off in total. The error gets more
visible, the more often you toggle fullscreen mode.
Work this around by not setting the window hints if we don't need to.
Actually we only need to do this when the video is resized during
fullscreen, which happens rarely. Under normal circumstances, leaving
fullscreen mode requires that the WM restores the old state.
As such, this commit is not only a workaround, but actually a cleanup.
Note that we do need to set the hints when leaving fullscreen if the
window has resized: even though we set the hints in
vo_x11_highlevel_resize (called by vo_x11_config_vo_window), this
doesn't seem to have an effect (at least on IceWM), so we have to do it
after that.
Side note: ot seems commit 625ad57a strangely triggered the OpenBox
issue according to user reports; I'm not sure why.
Before this commit, this was somehow polled (i.e. not the right way).
Also, selects the correct window when doing --wid=0 (which is another
weird special-case).
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.
XGetWindowProperty is a really bad API, almost as if the NSA designed
it. The wrapper takes care of verifying the return values and handle
corner cases.
The window "gravity" influences how placement interacts with WM added
borders (i.e. from decorations). This is probably what the code removed
in commit c14721c8 was about.
In theory, we'd probably want to set the gravity depending on the
relative placement requested by the user (so that it's possible to line
up the top/left video pixel with the monitor corner, as well as the
bottom/right pixel - but that would be too complicated, and who cares
after all?).
I'm also not sure whether CenterGravity really uses the top/left corner
as reference point (instead of making coordinates relative to the window
center), but empirically it's correct.
Try to get the "new" code path (using NetWM/EWMH) free of hacks done for
the sake of old WMs or the no-WM case.
Implement --fs-screen using _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS.
Keeps the window centered on resize. Seems nicer. (Although it's worse
if 1. the default placement of the WM puts it into a monitor corner,
and 2. you switch to a larger video.)
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.
