The only thing this option did was changing the behavior of af_volume.
The option decided what sample format af_volume would use, but only if
the sample format was not already float. If the option was set, it would
default to float, otherwise to S16.
Remove use of the option and all associated code, and make af_volume
always use float (unless a af_volume specific sub-option is set).
Silence maximum value tracking. This message is printed when the filter
is destroyed, and it's slightly annoying. Was enabled due to enabling
float by default.
Switch the internal channel order to libavcodec's. If the channel number
mismatches at some point, use libavresample for up- or downmixing.
Remove the old af_pan automatic downmixing.
The libavcodec channel order should be equivalent to WAVEFORMATEX order,
at least nowadays. reorder_ch.h assumes that WAVEFORMATEX and libavcodec
might be different, but all defined channels have the same mappings.
Remove the downmixing with af_pan as well as the channel conversion with
af_channels from af.c, and prefer af_lavrresample for this. The
automatic downmixing behavior should be the same as before (if the
--channels option is set to 2, which is the default, the audio output
is forced to 2 channels, and libavresample does all downmixing).
Note that mpv still can't do channel layouts. It will pick the default
channel layout according to the channel count. This will be fixed later
by passing down the channel layout as well.
af_hrtf depends on the order of the input channels, so reorder to ALSA
(for which this code was written). This is better than changing the
filter code, which is more risky.
ao_pulse can accept waveext order directly, so set that as channel
mapping.
If format negotiation fails, and additional filters are inserted to fix
this, don't try to reinitialize the filter immediately. Instead, correct
the audio format, and let the caller retry.
Add a retry counter to af_reinit() to ensure that misbehaving filters
can't put the format negotiation into an endless loop.
Refactor to remove the duplicated format filter insertion code. Allow
other format converting filters to be inserted on format mismatches.
af_info.test_conversion checks whether conversion between two formats
would work with the given filter; do this to avoid having to insert
multiple conversion filters at once and such things. (Although this
isn't ideal: what if we want to avoid af_format for some conversions?
What if we want to split af_format in endian-swapping filters etc.?)
Prefer af_lavrresample for conversions that it supports natively,
otherwise let af_format handle the full conversion.
Make sure automatically inserted filters are removed on full reinit
(they are re-added later if they are really needed). Automatically
inserted filters were never explicitly removed, instead, it was
expected that redundant conversion filters detach themselves. This
didn't work if there were several chained format conversion filters,
e.g. s16le->floatle->s16le, which could result from repeated filter
insertion and removal. (format filters detach only if input format and
output format are the same.)
Further, the dummy filter (which exists only because af.c can't handle
an empty filter chain for some reason) could introduce bad conversions
due to how the format negotiation works. Change the code so that the
dummy filter never takes part on format negotiation. (It would be better
to fix format negotiation, but that would be much more complicated and
would involving fixing all filters.)
Simplify af_reinit() and remove the start audio filter parameter. This
means format negotiation and filter initialization is run more often,
but should be harmless.
The change in af_scaletempo actually fixes a memory leak. af->data
contained a pointer to an allocated buffer, which was overwritten
during format negotiation. Set the format explicitly instead.
Remove `af_resample` and `af_lavcresample`. The former is a mess while the
latter uses an API that was long deprecated in libavcodec and is now removed.
`af_lavrresample` rougly has the same features and structure of
`af_lavcresample`.
libswresample fallback by wm4.
The previous name of this filter was misleading, because it doesn’t actually
normalize volume levels. What it does is closer to performing low-quality
dynamic range compression, hence it is now called af_drc.
This function sucks and apparently is not very portable (at least on
mingw, the configure check fails). Also remove the emulation of that
function from osdep/strsep*, and remove the configure check.
Tis drops the silly lib prefixes, and attempts to organize the tree in
a more logical way. Make the top-level directory less cluttered as
well.
Renames the following directories:
libaf -> audio/filter
libao2 -> audio/out
libvo -> video/out
libmpdemux -> demux
Split libmpcodecs:
vf* -> video/filter
vd*, dec_video.* -> video/decode
mp_image*, img_format*, ... -> video/
ad*, dec_audio.* -> audio/decode
libaf/format.* is moved to audio/ - this is similar to how mp_image.*
is located in video/.
Move most top-level .c/.h files to core. (talloc.c/.h is left on top-
level, because it's external.) Park some of the more annoying files
in compat/. Some of these are relicts from the time mplayer used
ffmpeg internals.
sub/ is not split, because it's too much of a mess (subtitle code is
mixed with OSD display and rendering).
Maybe the organization of core is not ideal: it mixes playback core
(like mplayer.c) and utility helpers (like bstr.c/h). Should the need
arise, the playback core will be moved somewhere else, while core
contains all helper and common code.
