ffmpeg marks audio tracks which are not meant to be played standalone
as DEPENDENT. these are typically used in DVB broadcasts for audio
descriptions, and are meant to be mixed into the main audio track during
playback.
There was a "generic" function to run a hook and to wait for its
completion, yet there were two duplicated functions doing the same
anyway. Replace them with a single function.
They differed in how stop_play was handled, but it was broken anyway.
stop_play is set when playback is stopped due to quitting or changing
the playlist entry - but we still can't stop hook processing, because
that would mean asynchronously doing something else while the user hook
code is still busy and might still have the expectation that running the
hook stops everything else. So not waiting until the hook ends properly
is against the whole hook idea. That this was done inconsistently is
even worse. (Though it could be argued that when quitting the player,
everything should just be stopped violently. But I still think that's
up to the hook handler.)
process_hooks() does not return anything, since hook processing doesn't
really have a result (it's all about blocking and letting some other
code synchronously do something). Just let the caller check whether
loading was aborted in the meantime.
Also change the potentially misleading name of mp_hook_run().
As it turns out, there are multiple libmpv users who saw a need to
use the hook API. The API is kind of shitty and was never meant to be
actually public (it was mostly a hack for the ytdl script).
Introduce a proper API and deprecate the old one. The old one will
probably continue to work for a few releases, but will be removed
eventually.
There are some slight changes to the old API, but if a user followed
the manual properly, it won't break.
Mostly untested. Appears to work with ytdl_hook.
Move all of this stuff to a common function. This makes the error
messages less specific, but I don't think anyone will miss it.
The OSD flag handling is annoying, but it's nothing that should be
changed with this commit.
I think this will help with reducing code duplication (see following
commit). The error messages loses the multiplication factor, but the
error message will be replaced by a generic one in the following commit
anyway.
There is some sort-of awkwardness here, because option access needs to
happen in a synchronized manner, and the framedrop flag is not in the VO
option struct. Remove the mp_read_option_raw() call and the awkward
change notification via VO_EVENT_WIN_STATE from command.c, and pass it
through as new vo_frame flag.
Removes the awkward notification through VO_EVENT_WIN_STATE.
Unfortunately, some awkwardness remains in mp_property_display_fps(),
because the property has conflicting semantics with the option.
Before this commit, auto_loaded and lang were only set for the first
track in auto-loaded external files. Likewise, for the title and
lang arguments to the sub-add and audio-add commands.
Fixes#5432
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.
Move dec_video.c to filters/f_decoder_wrapper.c. It essentially becomes
a source filter. vd.h mostly disappears, because mp_filter takes care of
the dataflow, but its remains are in struct mp_decoder_fns.
One goal is to simplify dataflow by letting the filter framework handle
it (or more accurately, using its conventions). One result is that the
decode calls disappear from video.c, because we simply connect the
decoder wrapper and the filter chain with mp_pin_connect().
Another goal is to eventually remove the code duplication between the
audio and video paths for this. This commit prepares for this by trying
to make f_decoder_wrapper.c extensible, so it can be used for audio as
well later.
Decoder framedropping changes a bit. It doesn't seem to be worse than
before, and it's an obscure feature, so I'm content with its new state.
Some special code that was apparently meant to avoid dropping too many
frames in a row is removed, though.
I'm not sure how the source code tree should be organized. For one,
video/decode/vd_lavc.c is the only file in its directory, which is a bit
annoying.
Get rid of the old vf.c code. Replace it with a generic filtering
framework, which can potentially handle more than just --vf. At least
reimplementing --af with this code is planned.
This changes some --vf semantics (including runtime behavior and the
"vf" command). The most important ones are listed in interface-changes.
vf_convert.c is renamed to f_swscale.c. It is now an internal filter
that can not be inserted by the user manually.
f_lavfi.c is a refactor of player/lavfi.c. The latter will be removed
once --lavfi-complex is reimplemented on top of f_lavfi.c. (which is
conceptually easy, but a big mess due to the data flow changes).
The existing filters are all changed heavily. The data flow of the new
filter framework is different. Especially EOF handling changes - EOF is
now a "frame" rather than a state, and must be passed through exactly
once.
Another major thing is that all filters must support dynamic format
changes. The filter reconfig() function goes away. (This sounds complex,
but since all filters need to handle EOF draining anyway, they can use
the same code, and it removes the mess with reconfig() having to predict
the output format, which completely breaks with libavfilter anyway.)
In addition, there is no automatic format negotiation or conversion.
libavfilter's primitive and insufficient API simply doesn't allow us to
do this in a reasonable way. Instead, filters can use f_autoconvert as
sub-filter, and tell it which formats they support. This filter will in
turn add actual conversion filters, such as f_swscale, to perform
necessary format changes.
vf_vapoursynth.c uses the same basic principle of operation as before,
but with worryingly different details in data flow. Still appears to
work.
The hardware deint filters (vf_vavpp.c, vf_d3d11vpp.c, vf_vdpaupp.c) are
heavily changed. Fortunately, they all used refqueue.c, which is for
sharing the data flow logic (especially for managing future/past
surfaces and such). It turns out it can be used to factor out most of
the data flow. Some of these filters accepted software input. Instead of
having ad-hoc upload code in each filter, surface upload is now
delegated to f_autoconvert, which can use f_hwupload to perform this.
Exporting VO capabilities is still a big mess (mp_stream_info stuff).
The D3D11 code drops the redundant image formats, and all code uses the
hw_subfmt (sw_format in FFmpeg) instead. Although that too seems to be a
big mess for now.
f_async_queue is unused.
Restores behaviour prior to aef2ed5dc1.
That change was apparently unpopular. However, given the amount of
complaining over how hard it is to change the defaults by rebinding every
key, I think the extra option introduced by this commit is justified.
Technically not all behaviour is restored, because now --no-osd-bar will
not instead display the msg text on seek. I think that feature was a
little weird and is now easy enough to remedy with the --osd-on-seek
option.
This reverts commit 9812e276aa.
This was apparently unpopular. I still think the pause OSD should be the
same as seek even if it's not visible by default, but it seems that
whether to display a given property change is currently conflated with
what to display.
The reverted behaviour can be restored by adding something like the
following to input.conf:
SPACE cycle pause; show_progress
Requested. See manpage additions.
The main reason why this goes through the trouble to keep the
action/operation parameter separate is so that we don't expose some
option parser implementation details to the command (although that is a
relatively weak reason), and also to make it more different from the
"set" command, which can't support this type of option as it goes
through the property layer.
Fixes#5435.
And use it for 2 demuxer options. It could be used for more options
later. (Though the --cache options can not use this, because they use KB
as base unit.)
When overlay-add etc. is run, make sure the playlop is rerun so that it
considers actually redrawing the screen.
(I considered making the OSD code generally wakeup the player, but that
will probably lead to redundant wakeups, so I didn't bother.)
Fixes#5431.
Replace the static array with dynamic memory allocation. This also
requires some code to honor mp_cmd.nargs more strictly. Generally
allocates more stuff.
Fixes#5375 (although we could also just raise the static limit).
Previously, toggling pause would generate no osd response, and changing
that wasn't even configurable. This was surprising to users who
generally expect to see *where* pause / unpause is taking place (#3028).
The previous default was osd-bar (unless the user specified
--no-osd-bar, in which case case it was osd-msg). Aside from requiring
some twisted logic to implement, this surprised users since osd-msg3
wasn't displayed when seeking with the keyboard (#3028), so the time
seeked to was never displayed.
Export them as explicitly undocumented debugging fields for the
"demuxer-cache-state" property.
Should be somewhat helpful to debug "wtf is the demuxer" doing
situations better, especially when seeking. It also becomes visible how
long the demuxer is blocked on an "old" seek when you keep seeking while
the first seek hasn't finished.
Remove them from the big MPOpts struct and move them to their sub
structs. In the places where their fields are used, create a private
copy of the structs, instead of accessing the semi-deprecated global
option struct instance (mpv_global.opts) directly.
This actually makes accessing these options finally thread-safe. They
weren't even if they should have for years. (Including some potential
for undefined behavior when e.g. the OSD font was changed at runtime.)
This is mostly transparent. All options get moved around, but most users
of the options just need to access a different struct (changing sd.opts
to a different type changes a lot of uses, for example).
One thing which has to be considered and could cause potential
regressions is that the new option copies must be explicitly updated.
sub_update_opts() takes care of this for example.
Another thing is that writing to the option structs manually won't work,
because the changes won't be propagated to other copies. Apparently the
only affected case is the implementation of the sub-step command, which
tries to change sub_delay. Handle this one explicitly (osd_changed()
doesn't need to be called anymore, because changing the option triggers
UPDATE_OSD, and updates the OSD as a consequence). The way the option
value is propagated is rather hacky, but for now this will do.
It was split at least across osd.c and sd_ass.c/sd_lavc.c. sd_lavc.c
actually ignored most of the more obscure subtitle timing things.
There's no reason for this - just move it all to dec_sub.c (mostly from
sd_ass.c, because it has some of the most complex stuff).
Now timestamps are transformed as they enter or leave dec_sub.c.
There appear to have been some subtle mismatches about how subtitle
timestamps were transformed, e.g. sd_functions.accepts_packet didn't
apply the subtitle speed to the timestamp. This patch should fix them,
although it's not clear if they caused actual misbehavior.
The semantics of SD_CTRL_SUB_STEP are slightly changed, which is the
reason for the changes in command.c and sd_lavc.c.
Was only available with --demuxer-lavf-format=help and the demuxer
needed to be used for it to actually print the list.
This can be used in the future to check if 'dash' support was compiled
with FFmpeg so ytdl_hook can use it instead. For now, dashdec is too
rudimentary to be used right away.
A release has been made, so drop options deprecated for that release.
Also drop some options which have been deprecated a much longer time
before.
Also fix a typo in client-api-changes.rst.
This will help with things like livestreams.
As a minor detail, subtitles are excluded, because they sometimes have
"unused" events after video and audio ends. To avoid this annoying
corner case, just ignore them.
Some old crap which nobody needs and which probably nobody uses.
This relies on a GCC extension: using "## __VA_ARGS__" to remove the
comma from the argument list if the va args are empty. It's supported
by clang, and there's some chance newer standards will introduce a
proper way to do this. (Even if it breaks somewhere, it will be a
problem only for 1 release, since I want to drop the deprecated
properties immediately.)
I've decided that MP_TRACE means “noisy spam per frame”, whereas
MP_DBG just means “more verbose debugging messages than MSGL_V”.
Basically, MSGL_DBG shouldn't create spam per frame like it currently
does, and MSGL_V should make sense to the end-user and provide mostly
additional informational output.
MP_DBG is basically what I want to make the new default for --log-file,
so the cut-off point for MP_DBG is if we probably want to know if for
debugging purposes but the user most likely doesn't care about on the
terminal.
Also, the debug callbacks for libass and ffmpeg got bumped in their
verbosity levels slightly, because being external components they're a
bit less relevant to mpv debugging, and a bit too over-eager in what
they consider to be relevant information.
I exclusively used the "try it on my machine and remove messages from
MSGL_* until it does what I want it to" approach of refactoring, so
YMMV.
Change it from explicit metadata about every hwaccel method to trying to
get it from libavcodec. As shown by add_all_hwdec_methods(), this is a
quite bumpy road, and a bit worse than expected.
This will probably cause a bunch of regressions. In particular I didn't
check all the strange decoder wrappers, which all cause some sort of
special cases each. You're volunteering for beta testing by using this
commit.
One interesting thing is that we completely get rid of mp_hwdec_ctx in
vd_lavc.c, and that HWDEC_* mostly goes away (some filters still use it,
and the VO hwdec interops still have a lot of code to set it up, so it's
not going away completely for now).
Make the VO<->decoder interface capable of supporting multiple hwdec
APIs at once. The main gain is that this simplifies autoprobing a lot.
Before this change, it could happen that the VO loaded the "wrong" hwdec
API, and the decoder was stuck with the choice (breaking hw decoding).
With the change applied, the VO simply loads all available APIs, so
autoprobing trickery is left entirely to the decoder.
In the past, we were quite careful about not accidentally loading the
wrong interop drivers. This was in part to make sure autoprobing works,
but also because libva had this obnoxious bug of dumping garbage to
stderr when using the API. libva was fixed, so this is not a problem
anymore.
The --opengl-hwdec-interop option is changed in various ways (again...),
and renamed to --gpu-hwdec-interop. It does not have much use anymore,
other than debugging. It's notable that the order in the hwdec interop
array ra_hwdec_drivers[] still matters if multiple drivers support the
same image formats, so the option can explicitly force one, if that
should ever be necessary, or more likely, for debugging. One example are
the ra_hwdec_d3d11egl and ra_hwdec_d3d11eglrgb drivers, which both
support d3d11 input.
vo_gpu now always loads the interop lazily by default, but when it does,
it loads them all. vo_opengl_cb now always loads them when the GL
context handle is initialized. I don't expect that this causes any
problems.
It's now possible to do things like changing between vdpau and nvdec
decoding at runtime.
This is also preparation for cleaning up vd_lavc.c hwdec autoprobing.
It's another reason why hwdec_devices_request_all() does not take a
hwdec type anymore.
These couldn't be relicensed, and won't survive the LGPL transition. The
other existing filters are mostly LGPL (except libaf glue code).
This remove the deprecated pan option. I guess it could be restored by
inserting a libavfilter filter (if there's one), but for now let it be
gone.
This temporarily breaks volume control (and things related to it, like
replaygain).
There has been no new developments or agreements, but I was uncertain
about the copyright status of them. Thus this part of code was marked as
being potentially GPL, and was not built in LGPL mode. Now I've taken a
close look again, and decided that these can be relicensed using the
existing relicensing agreements.
OSD level 3 was introduced in commit 8d190244, with the author being
unreachable. As I decided in commit 6ddd95fd, OSD level 3 itself can
be kept, but the "osd" command had to go, and the "rendering" of OSD
level 3 (the HAVE_GPL code in osd.c) was uncertain. But the code for
this was rewritten: instead of duplicating the time/percent formatting
code, it was changed to use common code, and some weird extra logic was
removed. The code inside of the "if" is exactly the same as the code
that formats the OSD status line (covered by LGPL relicensing).
The current commands for adding/removing sub/audio tracks more or less
originated from commit 2f376d1b39, with the author being unreachable.
But the original code was very different, mostly due to MPlayer's
incredibly messy handling of subtitles in general. Nothing of this
remains in the current code. Even the command declarations were
rewritten. The commands (as seen from the user side) are rather similar
in naming and semantics, but we don't consider this copyrightable. So it
doesn't look like anything copyrightable is left.
The add/cycle commands were more or less based on step_property,
introduced in commit 7a71da01d6, with the patch author disagreeing with
the LGPL relicensing. But all code original to the patch has been
replaced in later mpv changes, and the original code was mostly copied
from MP_CMD_SET_PROPERTY anyway. The underlying property interface was
completely changed, the error handling was redone, and all of this is
very similar to the changes that were done on SET_PROPERTY. The command
declarations are completely different in the first place, because the
semantic change from step to add/cycle. The commit also seems to have
been co-authored by reimar to some degree. He also had the idea to
change the original patch from making the command modify a specific
property to making it generic.
(The error message line, especially with its %g formatting, might
contain some level of originality, so change that just to be sure.
This commit Copies and adapts the error message for SET_PROPERTY.)
Although I'm a bit on the fence with all the above things, it really
doesn't look like there's anything substantial that would cause issues.
I thus claim that there is no problem with changing the license to LGPL
for the above things. It's probably still slightly below the standard
that was usually applied in the code relicensing in mpv, but probably
still far above to the usual in open source relicensing (and above
commercial standards as well, if you look what certain tech giants do).
Always display the duration as "unknown" if the duration is known. Also
fix that at least demux_lavf reported unknown duration as 0 (fix by
setting the default to unknown in demux.c).
Remove the dumb _u formatter function, and use a different approach to
avoiding displaying "unknown" as playback time on playback start (set
last_seek_pts for that).
Even though only 1 seek range is supported at the time.
Other than preparation for possibly future features, the main gain is
actually that we finally separate the reporting for the buffering, and
the seek ranges. These can be subtly different, so it's good to have a
clear separation.
This commit also fixes that the ts_reader wasn't rebased to the start
time, which could make the player show "???" for buffered cache amount
in some .ts files and others (especially at the end, when ts_reader
could become higher than ts_max). It also fixes writing the cache-end
field in the demuxer-cache-state property: it checked ts_start against
NOPTS, which makes no sense.
ts_start was never used (except for the bug mentioned above), so get rid
of it completely. This also makes it convenient to move the segment
check for last_ts to the demux_add_packet() function.
