The TV code pretends to be part of stream/, but it's actually demuxer
code too. The audio_in code is shared between the TV code and
stream_radio.c, so stream_radio.c needs a small hack until stream.c is
converted.
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.
The tmsg stuff was for the internal gettext() based translation system,
which nobody ever attempted to use and thus was removed. mp_gtext() and
set_osd_tmsg() were also for this.
mp_dbg was once enabled in debug mode only, but since we have log level
for enabling debug messages, it seems utterly useless.
This readds a more or less completely new dvdnav implementation, though
it's based on the code from before commit 41fbcee. Note that this is
rather basic, and might be broken or not quite usable in many cases.
Most importantly, navigation highlights are not correctly implemented.
This would require changes in the FFmpeg dvdsub decoder (to apply a
different internal CLUT), so supporting it is not really possible right
now. And in fact, I don't think I ever want to support it, because it's
a very small gain for a lot of work. Instead, mpv will display fake
highlights, which are an approximate bounding box around the real
highlights.
Some things like mouse input or switching audio/subtitles stream using
the dvdnav VM are not supported.
Might be quite fragile on transitions: if dvdnav initiates a transition,
and doesn't give us enough mpeg data to initialize video playback, the
player will just quit.
This is added only because some users seem to want it. I don't intend to
make mpv a good DVD player, so the very basic minimum will have to do.
How about you just convert your DVD to proper video files?
These packets have to be explicitly dropped, because usually libavcodec
uses 0-sized packets to flush delayed frames, meaning just passing
through these packets would have bad consequences.
Normally, libavformat doesn't output 0-sized packets anyway. But I don't
want to take any chances, so don't delete it, and just move it out of
the way to demux.c.
Having the DTS directly can be useful for restoring PTS values.
The avi file format doesn't actually store PTS values, just DTS. An
older hack explicitly exported the DTS as PTS (ignoring the [I assume]
genpts generated non-sense PTS), which is not necessary anymore due to
this change.
This used to be needed to access the generic stream header from the
specific headers, which in turn was needed because the decoders had
access only to the specific headers. This is not the case anymore, so
this can finally be removed again.
Also move the "format" field from the specific headers to sh_stream.
This is similar to the sh_audio commit.
This is mostly cosmetic in nature, except that it also adds automatical
freeing of the decoder driver's state struct (which was in
sh_video->context, now in dec_video->priv).
Also remove all the stheader.h fields that are not needed anymore.
demuxer->filepos contains the byte offset of the last read packet. This
is so that the player can estimate the current playback position, if no
proper timestamps are available. Simplify it to use demux_packet->pos in
the generic demuxer code, instead of bothering every demuxer
implementation about it.
(Note that this is still a bit incorrect: it relfects the position of
the last packet read by the demuxer, not that returned to the user. But
that was already broken, and is not that trivial to fix.)
Slightly simplifies memory management. This might make adding a demuxer
cache wrapper easier at a later point, because you can just copy the
complete stream header, without worrying that the wrapper will free the
individual stream header fields.
Most libavcodec decoders output non-interleaved audio. Add direct
support for this, and remove the hack that repacked non-interleaved
audio back to packed audio.
Remove the minlen argument from the decoder callback. Instead of
forcing every decoder to have its own decode loop to fill the buffer
until minlen is reached, leave this to the caller. So if a decoder
doesn't return enough data, it's simply called again. (In future, I
even want to change it so that decoders don't read packets directly,
but instead the caller has to pass packets to the decoders. This fits
well with this change, because now the decoder callback typically
decodes at most one packet.)
ad_mpg123.c receives some heavy refactoring. The main problem is that
it wanted to handle format changes when there was no data in the decode
output buffer yet. This sounds reasonable, but actually it would write
data into a buffer prepared for old data, since the caller doesn't know
about the format change yet. (I.e. the best place for a format change
would be _after_ writing the last sample to the output buffer.) It's
possible that this code was not perfectly sane before this commit,
and perhaps lost one frame of data after a format change, but I didn't
confirm this. Trying to fix this, I ended up rewriting the decoding
and also the probing.
This member was redundant. sh_audio->sample_format indicates the sample
size already.
The TV code is a bit strange: the redundant sample size was part of the
internal TV interface. Assume it's really redundant and not something
else. The PCM decoder ignores the sample size anyway.
The configure followed 5 different convetions of defines because the next guy
always wanted to introduce a new better way to uniform it[1]. For an
hypothetic feature 'hurr' you could have had:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #undef CONFIG_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #define HAVE_DURR 0
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #define CONFIG_DURR 0
All is now uniform and uses:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1
* #define HAVE_DURR 0
We like definining to 0 as opposed to `undef` bcause it can help spot typos
and is very helpful when doing big reorganizations in the code.

Instead of having each demuxer do it (only demux_mkv actually did...),
let generic code determine whether the file is seekable. This requires
adding exceptions to demuxers where the stream is not seekable, but the
demuxer is.
Sort-of try to improve handling of unseekable files in the player. Exit
early if the file is determined to be unseekable, instead of resetting
all decoders and then performing a pointless seek.
Add an exception to allow seeking if the file is not seekable, but the
stream cache is enabled. Print a warning in this case, because seeking
outside the cache (which we can't prevent since the demuxer is not aware
of this problem) still messes everything up.
Pointless, using stream->start_pos/end_pos instead.
demux_mf was the only place where this was used specially, but we can
rely on timestamps instead for this case.
Change talloc destructor so that they can never signal failure, and
don't return a status code. This makes our talloc copy even more
incompatible to upstream talloc, but on the other hand this is
preparation for getting rid of talloc entirely.
(The talloc replacement in the next commit won't allow the talloc_free
equivalent to fail, and the destructor return value would be useless.
But I don't want to change any mpv code either; the idea is that the
talloc replacement commit can be reverted for some time in order to
test whether the talloc replacement introduced a regression.)
Retrieve per-chapter metadata, but don't do much with it. We just make
the metadata of the _current_ chapter available as chapter-metadata
property. Returning the full chapter list with metadata would be no
problem, except that the property interface isn't really good with
structured data, so it's not available for now.
Not sure if it's worth it, but it was requested via github issue #201.
Apparently, it is popular to store large files in uncompressed rar
archives. Extracting files is not practical, and some media players
suport playing directly from uncompressed rar (at least VLC and some
DirectShow components).
Storing or accessing files this way is completely idiotic, but it is
a common practice, and the ones subjected to this practice can't do
much to change this (at least that's what I assume/hope). Also, it's
a feature request, so we say yes.
This code is mostly taken from VLC (commit f6e7240 from their git tree).
We also copy the way this is done: opening a rar file by itself yields
a playlist, which contains URLs to the actual entries in the rar file.
Compressed entries are simply skipped.
Modeled after the old playlist_parser.c, but actually new code, and it
works a bit differently.
Demuxers (and sometimes streams) are the component that should be used
to open files and to determine the file format. This was already done
for subtitles, but playlists still use a separate code path.
Otherwise, this would just try to demux a good chunk of the file, even
though the operation can't succeed anyway.
This caused some pretty strange issues, where perfectly valid use cases
would print a "Too many packets in the demuxer packet queue..." message.
This also affects --audiofile. The previous behavior wasn't really
useful. There are even separate switches for that: --audio-demuxer and
--sub-demuxer.
Get rid of the strange and messy reliance on DEMUXER_TYPE_ constants.
Instead of having two open functions for the demuxer callbacks (which
somehow are both optional, but you can also decide to implement both...),
just have one function. This function takes a parameter that tells the
demuxer how strictly it should check for the file headers. This is a
nice simplification and allows more flexibility.
Remove the file extension code. This literally did nothing (anymore).
Change demux_lavf so that we check our other builtin demuxers first
before libavformat tries to guess by file extension.
This removes the dependency on DEMUXER_TYPE_* and the file_format
parameter from the stream open functions.
Remove some of the playlist handling code. It looks like this was
needed only for loading linked mov files with demux_mov (which was
removed long ago).
Delete a minor bit of dead network-related code from stream.c as well.
Before this commit, we tried to play along with libavformat and tried
to pretend that attached pictures are video streams with a single
frame, and that the frame magically appeared at the seek position when
seeking. The playback core would then switch to a mode where the video
has ended, and the "remaining" audio is played.
This didn't work very well:
- we needed a hack in demux.c, because we tried to read more packets in
order to find the "next" video frame (libavformat doesn't tell us if
a stream has ended)
- switching the video stream didn't work, because we can't tell
libavformat to send the packet again
- seeking and resuming after was hacky (for some reason libavformat sets
the returned packet's PTS to that of the previously returned audio
packet in generic code not related to attached pictures, and this
happened to work)
- if the user did something stupid and e.g. inserted a deinterlacer by
default, a picture was never displayed, only an inactive VO window)
- same when using a command that reconfigured the VO (like switching
aspect or video filters)
- hr-seek didn't work
For this reason, handle attached pictures as separate case with a
separate video decoding function, which doesn't read packets. Also,
do not synchronize audio to video start in this case.
The code touched by this commit makes sure that DVD subtitle tracks
known by libdvdread but not known by demux_lavf can be selected and
displayed properly. These subtitle tracks have the first packet
some time late in the packet stream, so that libavformat won't
immediately recognize them, and will add the track as soon as the
first packet is seen during normal demuxing.
demux_mpg used to handle this elegantly: you just set the MPEG ID of
the stream you wanted. demux_lavf couldn't do this, so it was emulated
with a DEMUXER_CTRL. This commit changes it so that new streams are
selected by default (if autoselect is enabled), and the playloop
simply can take appropriate action before the lower layer throws away
the first packet.
This also changes the demux_lavf behavior that subtitle packets are
always demuxed, even if not needed. (They were immediately thrown away,
so there was no advantage to this.)
Further, this adds the ability to demux.c to deal with demuxing more
than one stream of a kind at once. (Though currently it's not useful.)
Generally remove all accesses to demux_stream from all the code, except
inside of demux.c. Make it completely private to demux.c.
This simplifies the code because it removes an extra concept. In demux.c
it is reduced to a simple packet queue. There were other uses of
demux_stream, but they were removed or are removed with this commit.
Remove the extra "ds" argument to demux fill_buffer callback. It was
used by demux_avi and the TV pseudo-demuxer only.
Remove usage of d_video->last_pts from the no-correct-pts code. This
field contains the last PTS retrieved after a packet that is not NOPTS.
We can easily get this value manually because we read the packets
ourselves. Reuse sh_video->last_pts to store the packet PTS values. It
was used only by the correct-pts code before, and like d_video->last_pts,
it is reset on seek. The behavior should be exactly the same.
Currently, all demuxer fill_buffer functions have a demux_stream
parameter. We want to remove that, but the TV code still depends on
it. Add a hack to remove that dependency.
The problem with the TV code is that reading video and audio frames
blocks, so in order to avoid a deadlock, you should read either of
them only if the decoder actually requests new data.
Partial packet reads were needed because the video/audio parsers were
working on top of them. So it could happen that a parser read a part of
a packet, and returned that to the decoder. With libavformat/libavcodec,
packets are already parsed, and everything is much simpler.
Most of the simplifications in ad_spdif could have been done earlier.
Remove some other stuff as well, like the questionable slave mode start
time reporting (could be replaced by proper code, but we don't bother).
Remove the unused skip_audio_frame() functionality as well (it was used
by old demuxers). Some functions become private to demux.c, like
demux_fill_buffer(). Introduce new packet read functions, which have
simpler semantics. Packets returned from them are owned by the caller,
and all packets in the demux.c packet queue are considered unread.
Remove special code that dropped subtitle packets with size 0. This
used to be needed because it caused special cases in the old code.
