Using -demuxer mpegts -correct-pts triggered the assertion in
ds_get_packet2(). This is not surprising, because the correct-pts code
was changed to accept _complete_ packets, while all the old demuxers
(including the mpegts demuxer) require you to use "partial" packet
reads, together with the video_read_frame(). (That function actually
parses video frames, so fragments of the original "packets" can be fed
to the decoder.)
However, it returns out demux_ts packet's are mostly useable. demux_ts
still adds an offset (i.e. ds->buffer_pos != 0) to the packets when
calling internal parser functions, such as in parse_es.c. While this is
unclean design due to mplayer's old video demuxing/decoding path, it can
be easily be made work by modifying the packet as returned by
ds_get_packet2(). We also have to change the packet freeing code, as
demux_packet->buffer doesn't have to point to the start of the memory
allocation anymore.
MPlayer handles this "correctly" because it doesn't have a function that
reads a complete packet.
Nobody uses this, and this is an absolute waste of time. Even the user
who reported this turned out to have produced a sample manually.
Sample produced with:
wget http://diracvideo.org/download/test-streams/raw/vts/vts.LD-8Mb.drc
mkvmerge -o dirac.mkv vts.LD-8Mb.drc
mkvmerge writes a sort of broken aspect ratio. libavformat interprets it
as 1:1 PAR, while demux_mkv thinks this is a 1:1 DAR. Maybe libavformat
is more correct here.
This helps passing the channel layout correctly from decoder to audio
filter chain. (Because that part "reuses" the demuxer level codec
parameters, which is very disgusting.)
Note that ffmpeg stuff already passed the channel layout via
mp_copy_lav_codec_headers(). So other than easier dealing with the
demuxer/decoder parameters mess, there's no real advantage to doing
this.
Make the --channels option accept a channel map. Since simple numbers
map to standard layouts with the given number of channels, this is
downwards compatible. Likewise for demux_rawaudio.
Allow the stream layer to report chapter times. Extend stream_dvd to do
this. I'm not 100% sure whether the re-used code is bug-free (because it
was used for slave-mode and/or debugging only).
MAke the frontend do time-based seeks when switching DVD chapters. I'm
not sure if there's a real reason STREAM_CTRL_SEEK_TO_CHAPTER exists
(maybe/hopefully not), but we will see.
Note that querying chapter times in demuxer_chapter_time() with the new
STREAM_CTRL_GET_CHAPTER_TIME could be excessively slow, especially with
the cache enabled. The frontend likes to query chapter times very often.
Additionally, stream_dvd uses some sort of quadratic algorithm to list
times for all chapters. For this reason, we try to query all chapters on
start (after the demuxer is opened), and add the chapters to the demuxer
chapter list. demuxer_chapter_time() will get the time from that list,
instead of asking the stream layer over and over again.
This assumes stream_dvd knows the list of chapters at the start, and
also that the list of chapters never changes during playback. This
seems to be true, and the only exception, switching DVD titles, is not
supported at runtime (and doesn't need to be supported).
The frontend doesn't use this.
Also use double for returning the chapter times. Everything uses double
for times, and there's no reason to use float here.
These were found by the cppcheck and scan-build static analyzers. Most
of these aren't interesting (the 2 previous commits fix some interesting
cases found by these analyzers), and they don't nearly fix all warnings.
(Most of the unfixed warnings are spam, things MPlayer never cared
about, or false positives.)
Also, mark demuxer as not capable if DVD playback is done. The problem
with DVD is that playback time (stream_pts) is not reported frame-exact,
and the time is a "guess" at best.
With the commit "demux_lavf: fix DEMUXER_CTRL_RESYNC", DVD playback
seems to work nicely with demux_lavf, and maybe works even better than
with demux_mpg.
The old demuxer can be forced with: --demuxer=mpegps
If no regressions surface, demux_mpg.c will be deleted later.
This used the libavformat current position, instead of the mp stream
(which reflects current DVD/Bluray read position). This was broken,
because libavformat won't update its position by calling the user's
stream callbacks, negating the whole point of DEMUXER_CTRL_RESYNC.
Now DVD playback with libavformat seems to work relatively well.
demux_mpg did the same, and doing this in demux_lavf fixes DVD playback
when using this demuxer.
Additionally this might make bluray work better in the future (but for
now, bluray playback doesn't change as it doesn't report stream PTS yet).
DVD playback uses a demuxer that signals to the frontend that timestamp
resets are possible. This made the frontend calculate the OSD playback
position based on the byte position and the total size of the stream.
This actually broke DVD playback position display. Since DVD reports a
a linear playback position, we don't have to rely on the demuxer
reported position, so disable this functionality in case of DVD
playback. This reverts the OSD behavior with DVD to the old behavior.
The stream ID handling as it was changed in commit 654c34f was still
a little bit insane, and caused a regression with the cover art hack
(the stream set in demux->video->sh was incorrect for demux_lavf).
Simplify by always using stream_index for demux_stream->id, and getting
rid of that tid thing. It turns out that the id for subtitles isn't
special either (maybe demux_ts.c was the only thing left that required
this).
This check was always false:
if (num == EBML_UINT_INVALID)
Fix it by using the proper type for the num variable.
This case actually doesn't really matter, and this is just for hiding
the warning and for being 100% correct.
When trying to seek before the start of the file, which usually happens
when using the arrow keys to seek to the start of the file, external
libavformat demuxed subtitles will be invisible. This is because seeking
in the external subtitle file fails, so the subtitle demuxer is left in
a random state.
This is actually similar to the normal seeking path, which has some
fallback code to handle this situation. Add such code to the subtitle
seeking path too.
(Normally, all demuxer support av_seek_frame(), except subtitles, which
support avformat_seek_file() only. The latter was meant to be the "new"
seeking API, but this never really took off, and using it normally seems
to cause worse seeking behavior. Or maybe we just use it incorrectly,
nobody really knows.)
Get rid of the 1-char subtitle type field. Use sh_stream->codec instead
just like audio and video do. Use codec names as defined by libavcodec
for simplicity, even if they're somewhat verbose and annoying.
Note that ffmpeg might switch to "ass" as codec name for ASS, so we
don't bother with the current silly "ssa" name.
MP_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE and FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE are both
16. The doxygen for FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE says only the first 23
bits must to be 0, but this is probably a lie.
This removes the stream handling mess by using a single list for all
stream types.
One consequence is that new streams are always set to AVDISCARD_ALL,
which could be an issue if packets are read before initializing other
streams. However, this doesn't seem to an issue for various reasons,
so we don't do anything about it.
The new code strictly assumes that libavformat never removes or
reorders streams once added to AVFormatContext->streams. Undefined
behavior will result if it does.
mkv_track_t now references sh_stream directly, instead of using an ID.
Also remove all accesses to demux_stream (demuxer->video etc.).
Remove some slave-mode things on the way, like "ID_SID_..." messages.
Some preparations to simplify demux_mkv and demux_lavf.
struct demux_stream manages state for each stream type that is being
demuxed (audio/video/sub). demux_stream is rather annoying, especially
the id and sh members, which are often used by the demuxers to determine
current stream and so on. Demuxers don't really have to access this,
except for testing whether a stream is selected and to add packets.
Add a new_sh_stream(), which allows creating streams without having the
caller specify any kind of stream ID. Demuxers should just use sh_stream
pointers, instead of multiple kinds of IDs and indexes.
Since demux_mkv queries the demuxer state when reading packets, track
switching is completely passive. Cycling etc. is done by the frontend.
As result, all track switching code can be removed.
Matroska files can contain multiple segments, which are literally
further Matroska files appended to the main file. They can be referenced
by segment linking.
While this is an extraordinarily useless and dumb feature, we support it
for the hell of it.
This is implemented by adding a further demuxer parameter for skipping
segments. When scanning for linked segments, each file is opened
multiple times, until there are no further segments found. Each segment
will have a separate demuxer instance (with a separate file handle
etc.).
It appears the Matroska spec. has an even worse feature for segments:
live streaming can completely reconfigure the stream by starting a new
segment. We won't add support for it, because there are 0 people on this
earth who think Matroska life streaming is a good idea. (As opposed to
serving Matroska/WebM files via HTTP.)
Matroska segment linking allows abusing Matroska files as playlists
without any actual video/audio/sub data, making files without any
clusters still useful for the frontend.
