It did that because there was no other way. It used a lock-free ring
buffer, which does not support this. Use a "manual" ring buffer with
explicit locks instead, and drop messages from the start.
(We could have continued to use mp_ring, but it was already too late,
and although mp_ring is fine, using it for types other than bytes looked
awkward, and writing a ring buffer yet again seemed nicer. At least it's
not C++, where mp_ring would have been a template, and everything would
have looked like shit soup no matter what.)
In the referenced commit, I forgot about this part, and a client which
tried to use this was actually not woken up when needed.
(Also why the hell does the subject line of that commit say "removed"?)
Fixes: 8c2d73f112
As preparation for making repl.lua part of the core (maybe), add some
mechanisms which are supposed to improve its behavior.
Add a silent mode. Calling mpv_request_log_messages() with the log level
name prefixed with "silent:" will disable logging from the API user's
perspective. But it will keep the log buffer, and record new messages,
without returning them to the user. If logging is enabled again by
requesting the same log level without "silent:" prefix, the buffered log
messages are returned to the user at once. This is not documented,
because it's far too messy and special as that I'd want anyone to rely
on this behavior, but it will be perfectly fine for an internal script.
Another thing is that we record early startup messages. The goal is to
make the repl.lua script show option and config parsing file errors.
This works only with the special "terminal-default" log level.
In addition, reduce the "terminal-default" capacity to only 100 log
messages. If this is going to be enabled by default, it shouldn't use
too much resources.
Options marked with this flag were changed to strictly read-only after
initialization (mpv_initialize() in the client API, after option parsing
and config file loading with the CLI player).
This used to be necessary, because there was a single option struct that
could be accessed by multiple threads. For example, --config-dir sets
MPOpts.force_configdir, which was read whenever anything accessed the
mpv config dir (which could be on different threads, e.g. font
initialization tries to lookup fonts.conf from an arbitrary thread).
This isn't needed anymore, because threads now access these in a thread
safe way. In the case of --config-dir, the path is actually just copied
on init.
This M_OPT_FIXED mechanism is thus not strictly needed anymore. It still
prevents writing to some options that cannot take effect at runtime, but
even that can be dropped. In general, all mpv options can be changed any
time at runtime, even if they never take effect, and there's no need to
make an exception for a very low number of options. So just get rid of
it.
This is something relatively frequently needed, and there must be half a
dozen ad-hoc implementations in mpv. The next commit uses this, the
suspected duplicate implementations are hiding.
To be used in the next commit.
According to compiler explorer, __builtin_clz is very widely available,
and it barely makes sense to provide a fallback. clang also eats this
(and identifies at least as GCC 4). Actually, there's doubt that a fast
log2 implementation is needed at all (I guess UTF-8 parsing needs it,
but something UTF-8-specific would probably make it faster than using
log2). So the fallback is just something naive.
Before this commit, the status line used terminal control codes only if
stderr was a terminal. I'm not sure why this was done, and git blame
tracks it back to a huge commit by me, which changed all of the terminal
handling.
A user complained, so just stop treating this specially for no reason.
Fixes: #6617
mpv warned if the FFmpeg runtime library version was not exactly the
same as the build version. This seemed to cause frequent conflicts. At
this point, most mpv code probably adheres to the FFmpeg ABI rules, and
FFmpeg stopped breaking ABI "accidentally". Another source of problems
were mixed FFmpeg/Libav installations, something which nobody does
anymore. It's not "our" job to check and enforce ABI compatibility
either. So I guess this behavior can be removed.
OK, still check for incompatible libraries (according to FFmpeg
versioning rules), i.e. different major versions, or if the build
version is newer than the runtime version. For now.
The comment about ABI problems is still true. In particular, the
bytes_read field mentioned in the removed comment is still accessed, and
is still an ABI violation. Have fun.
Although this was sort of elegant, it just seems to complicate things
slightly. Originally, the API meant that you cache mp_recorder_sink
yourself (which would avoid the mess of passing an index around), but
that too seems slightly roundabout.
In a later change, I want to change the set of streams passed to
mp_recorder_create(), and then I'd have to keep track of the index for
each stream, which would suck. With this commit, I can just pass the
unambiguous sh_stream to it, and it will be guaranteed to match the
correct stream.
The disadvantages are barely worth discussing. It's a new linear search
per packet, but usually only 2 to 4 streams are active at a time. Also,
in theory a user could want to write 2 streams using the same sh_stream
(same metadata, just writing different packets or so), but in practice
this is never done.
This is the muxer used by all 3 stream recording features (why are there
so many?). It tried hard to avoid writing broken files. In particular,
it buffered packets until it new there was a keyframe packet (which, in
mpv's/FFmpeg's definition, mean seek points from which decoding can
resume), or final EOF. The danger that was probably considered here was
that due to video frame reordering, not muxing some trailing, missing
packets of a keyframe range could lead to broken decoding or skipped
frames, so better discard packets belonging to an incomplete range.
Sounds like a good idea so far.
Unfortunately, this will drop an entire keyframe range even if the
current packet run is complete and mp_recorder_mark_discontinuity() is
called, simply because recorder.c can not know that the next packet
would have been a keyframe.
It seems better to mux all packets to avoid losing valid data, even if
it means that sometimes packets/frames will be missing from the file. It
benefits especially the dump-cache command, which will call the function
to signal a discontinuity after every range. Before this commit, it
discarded the last packets, even if they were perfectly fine.
(An alternative solution for dump-cache would have been a second
discontinuity marker function, that communicates that the current packet
range is complete. But this commit's solution is simpler and overall
more robust, at the danger of producing more semi-broken files.)
This may make some of the complex buffering/waiting logic in recorder.c
pointless.
Untested (in this final form).
These macros explicitly honor MP_NOPTS_VALUE, instead of implicitly
relying on the fact that this value is the lowest allowed value.
In addition, this changes one case to use MP_NOPTS_VALUE instead of
INFINITY, also a cosmetic change.
I think I repeated this inline in some places (or maybe not), and some
experimental but discarded code used it. Add it anyway, maybe it'll be
useful. Or it'll give someone a chance to get a contribution into mpv by
removing an unused macro.
This commit rips out the entire mpv vulkan implementation in favor of
exposing lightweight wrappers on top of libplacebo instead, which
provides much of the same except in a more up-to-date and polished form.
This (finally) unifies the code base between mpv and libplacebo, which
is something I've been hoping to do for a long time.
Note: The ra_pl wrappers are abstract enough from the actual libplacebo
device type that we can in theory re-use them for other devices like
d3d11 or even opengl in the future, so I moved them to a separate
directory for the time being. However, the rest of the code is still
vulkan-specific, so I've kept the "vulkan" naming and file paths, rather
than introducing a new `--gpu-api` type. (Which would have been ended up
with significantly more code duplicaiton)
Plus, the code and functionality is similar enough that for most users
this should just be a straight-up drop-in replacement.
Note: This commit excludes some changes; specifically, the updates to
context_win and hwdec_cuda are deferred to separate commits for
authorship reasons.
--record-file is nice, but only sometimes. If you watch some sort of
livestream which you want to record, it's actually much nicer not to
record what you're currently "seeing", but anything you're receiving.
Since this function is called with packets on the stack, trying to free
them makes no sense. Instead, it should unref (which is what
`av_interleaved_write_frame` does anyway, rather than freeing).
Also, the calling code tried unreffing the packet a second time, even
after it was "freed" by the callee in the failure case - and after
ownership was taken over by `av_interleaved_write_frame` in the
successful case. Both of these cases were wrong.
This was always a legacy thing. Remove it by applying an orgy of
mp_get_config_group() calls, and sometimes m_config_cache_alloc() or
mp_read_option_raw().
win32 changes untested.
The path functions need to access the option that forces non-default
config directories. Just add it as a field to mpv_global - it seems
justified. The accessed options were always enforced as immutable after
init, so there's not much of a change.
Them being separate is just dumb. Replace them with a single
demux_free() function, and free its stream by default. Not freeing the
stream is only needed in 1 special case (demux_disc.c), use a special
flag to not free the stream in this case.
Don't allow it to freeze everything when loading a playlist from network
(although you definitely shouldn't do that, but whatever).
This also affects the really obscure --ordered-chapters-files option.
The --playlist option on the other hand has no choice but to freeze the
shit, because there's no concept of aborting the player during command
line parsing.
Until recently, ao_lavc and vo_lavc started encoding whenever the core
happened to send them data. Since audio and video are not initialized at
the same time, and the muxer was not necessarily opened when the first
encoder started to produce data, the resulting packets were put into a
queue. As soon as the muxer was opened, the queue was flushed.
Change this to make the core wait with sending data until all encoders
are initialized. This has the advantage that we don't need to queue up
the packets.
While I'm not sure whether it really works, at least it writes the pass1
log correctly now.
How 2-pass stat output is supposed to interact with the new decode API
is rather fishy. ffmpeg.c does the same, and before this change, the
log was not written on EOF (when at least libvpx actually outputs its
stats).
It was documented for --screenshot-template, but apparently never
implemented.
This value is not explicitly rounded, other than for printf() %f default
formatting (which rounds to 6 digits).
This means that a time of 4.5678 is displayed as "00:00:04.568" when the
format string is "%H:%M:%S.%T". Likewise, 59.99999 will be displayed as
"00:01:00.000". Before this change, the sub-ms times were just
truncated.
Requested by TheAMM.
AVFilterContext instances support some additional AVOptions over the
actual filter. This includes useful options like "threads". We didn't
support setting those for the "direct" wrapper (--vf=yadif:threads=1
failed). Change this. It requires setting options on the AVFilterContext
directly, except the code for positional parameters still needs to
access the actual filter's AVOptions.
The main change is that we wait with opening the muxer ("writing
headers") until we have data from all streams. This fixes race
conditions at init due to broken assumptions in the old code.
This also changes a lot of other stuff. I found and fixed a few API
violations (often things for which better mechanisms were invented, and
the old ones are not valid anymore). I try to get away from the public
mutex and shared fields in encode_lavc_context. For now it's still
needed for some timestamp-related fields, but most are gone. It also
removes some bad code duplication between audio and video paths.
Removes a good hunk of weird code.
This loses qscale "emulation", some logging, and the fact that duplicate
keys for values starting with +/- were added with AV_DICT_APPEND. I
don't assign those any importance, even if they are user-visible
changes.
The new M_OPT_ flag is just so that nothing weird happens for other
key-value options, which do not interpret a "help" key specially.
This makes ICY title changes show up at approximately the correct time,
even if the demuxer buffer is huge. (It'll still be wrong if the stream
byte cache contains a meaningful amount of data.)
It should have the same effect for mid-stream metadata changes in e.g.
OGG (untested).
This is still somewhat fishy, but in parts due to ICY being fishy, and
FFmpeg's metadata change API being somewhat fishy. For example, what
happens if you seek? With FFmpeg AVFMT_EVENT_FLAG_METADATA_UPDATED and
AVSTREAM_EVENT_FLAG_METADATA_UPDATED we hope that FFmpeg will correctly
restore the correct metadata when the first packet is returned.
If you seke with ICY, we're out of luck, and some audio will be
associated with the wrong tag until we get a new title through ICY
metadata update at an essentially random point (it's mostly inherent to
ICY). Then the tags will switch back and forth, and this behavior will
stick with the data stored in the demuxer cache. Fortunately, this can
happen only if the HTTP stream is actually seekable, which it usually is
not for ICY things. Seeking doesn't even make sense with ICY, since you
can't know the exact metadata location. Basically ICY metsdata sucks.
Some complexity is due to a microoptimization: I didn't want additional
atomic accesses for each packet if no timed metadata is used. (It
probably doesn't matter at all.)
This includes codec/muxer/demuxer iteration (different iteration
function, registration functions deprecated), and the renaming of
AVFormatContext.filename to url (plus making it a malloced string).
Libav doesn't have the new API yet, so it will break. I hope they will
add the new APIs too.
MPlayer used this to distinguish multiple decoder wrappers (such as
libavcodec vs. binary codec loader vs. builtin decoders). It lost
meaning in mpv as non-libavcodec things were dropped. Now it doesn't
serve any purpose anymore.
Parsing was removed quite a while ago, and the recent filter change
removed any use of the internal family field. Get rid of it.
Use the decoder wrapper that was introduced for video. This removes all
code duplication the old audio decoder wrapper had with the video code.
(The audio wrapper was copy pasted from the video one over a decade ago,
and has been kept in sync ever since by the power of copy&paste. Since
the original copy&paste was possibly done by someone who did not answer
to the LGPL relicensing, this should also remove all doubts about
whether any of this code is left, since we now completely remove any
code that could possibly have been based on it.)
There is some complication with spdif handling, and a minor behavior
change (it will restrict the list of codecs to spdif if spdif is to be
used), but there should not be any difference in practice.
