There's no real reason why audio_init_filter() should exist. Just use
af_init or af_reinit directly. (We lose a useless message; the same
information is printed in a quite close place with more details.)
Requires less code, and the way the filter chain is marked as having
failed to initialize allows just switching off audio instead of
crashing if trying to insert a volume filter in mixer.c fails, and
recreating the old filter chain fails too.
In my opinion, config.h inclusions should be kept to a minimum. MPlayer
code really liked including config.h everywhere, though, even in often
used header files. Try to reduce this.
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 new signature is actually closer to how it actually works, and
someone who is not familiar to the API and how it works might make fewer
fatal mistakes with the new signature than the old one. Pretty weird.
Do this to sneak in a flags parameter, which will later be used to flush
remaining data of at least vf_lavfi.
There are some use cases for this. For example, you can use it to set
defaults of automatically inserted filters (like af_lavrresample). It's
also useful if you have a non-trivial VO configuration, and want to use
--vo to quickly change between the drivers without repeating the whole
configuration in the --vo argument.
The AF control commands used an elaborate and unnecessary organization
for the command constants. Get rid of all that and convert the
definitions to a simple enum. Also remove the control commands that
were not really needed, because they were not used outside of the
filters that implemented them.
And by "cleanup", I mean "remove". Actually, only remove the parts that
are redundant and doxygen noise. Move useful parts to the comment above
the function's implementation in the C source file.
Before this commit, the af_instance->mul/delay values were in bytes.
Using bytes is confusing for non-interleaved audio, so switch mul to
samples, and delay to seconds. For delay, seconds are more intuitive
than bytes or samples, because it's used for the latency calculation.
We also might want to replace the delay mechanism with real PTS
tracking inside the filter chain some time in the future, and PTS
will also require time-adjustments to be done in seconds.
For most filters, we just remove the redundant mul=1 initialization.
(Setting this used to be required, but not anymore.)
Allocate af_instance->data in generic code before filter initialization.
Every filter needs af->data (since it contains the output
configuration), so there's no reason why every filter should allocate
and free it.
Remove RESIZE_LOCAL_BUFFER(), and replace it with mp_audio_realloc_min().
Interestingly, most code becomes simpler, because the new function takes
the size in samples, and not in bytes. There are larger change in
af_scaletempo.c and af_lavcac3enc.c, because these had copied and
modified versions of the RESIZE_LOCAL_BUFFER macro/function.
Defining names like min, max etc. in an often used header is not really
a good idea.
Somewhat similar to MPlayer svn commit 36491, but don't use libavutil,
because that typically causes us sorrow.
Drop the author and comment fields. They were completely unused - not
even printed in verbose mode, just dead weight.
Also use designated initializers and drop redundant flags.
Make the VF/VO/AO option parser available to audio filters. No audio
filter uses this yet, but it's still a quite intrusive change.
In particular, the commands for manipulating filters at runtime
completely change. We delete the old code, and use the same
infrastructure as for video filters. (This forces complete
reinitialization of the filter chain, which hopefully isn't a problem
for any use cases. The old code forced reinitialization too, but it
could potentially allow a filter to cache things; e.g. consider loaded
ladspa plugins and such.)
mp_audio has some redundant fields. Setters like mp_audio_set_format()
initialize these properly.
Also move the mp_audio struct to a the file audio.c.
We can remove a mysterious line of code from af.c:
in.format |= af_bits2fmt(in.bps * 8);
I'm not sure if this was ever actually needed, or if it was some kind of
"make it work" quick-fix that works against the way things were supposed
to work. All filters etc. now set the format correctly, so if there ever
was a need for this code, it's definitely gone.
Add dummy input and output filters to remove special cases in the format
negotiation code (af_fix_format_conversion() etc.). The output of the
filter chain is now negotiated in exactly the same way as normal
filters.
Negotiate setting the sample rate in the same way as other audio
parameters. As a side effect, the resampler is inserted at the start of
the filter chain instead of the end, but that shouldn't matter much,
especially since conversion and channel mixing are conflated into the
same filter (due to libavresample's API).
Anything this option did has been removed in the preceding 3 commits.
Note that even though these options sounded like a good idea (like
setting accuracy vs. speed tradeoffs), they were not really properly
implemented.
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.
Finish renaming directories and moving files. Adjust all include
statements to make the previous commit compile.
The two commits are separate, because git is bad at tracking renames
and content changes at the same time.
Also take this as an opportunity to remove the separation between
"common" and "mplayer" sources in the Makefile. ("common" used to be
shared between mplayer and mencoder.)
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.
