No development activity (or even any sign of life) for almost a year.
A replacement based on youtube-dl will probably be provided before the
next mpv release. Ask on the IRC channel if you want to test.
Simplify the Lua check too: libquvi linking against a different Lua
version than mpv was a frequent issue, but with libquvi gone, no
direct dependency uses Lua, and such a clash is rather unlikely.
This provides some helper functions and classes for C++/Qt. As the top
of qthelper.hpp says, this is built on top of the client API, and is a
mere helper provided for convenience.
Maybe this should be a separate library, but on the other hand I don't
see much of a point in that. It's also header-only, but C++ people like
such things. This makes it easier for us, because we don't need to care
about ABI compatibility.
The client API doesn't change, but bump it so that those who are using
this header can declare a proper dependency.
Objective-C categories need special linker flags from the user when statically
linking (-ObjC LDFLAG), so make everyone's life simpler and remove them.
Use libwaio to read from pipes (stdin or named pipes) on Windows. This
liberates us from nasty issues, such as pipes (as created by most
programs) not being possible to read in a non-blocking or event-driven
way. Although it would be possible to do that in a somewhat sane way
on Vista+, it's still not easy, and on XP it's especially hard. libwaio
handles these things for us.
Move pipe.c to pipe-unix.c, and remove Windows specific things. Also
adjust the input.c code to make this work cleanly.
1. Separate buffer and temporary file handling from the vo to make maintenance
and reading code easier
2. Skip resizing as much as possible if back buffer is still busy.
3. Detach and mark osd buffers for deletion if we want to redraw them and they
are still busy. This could be a possible case for the video buffers as
well. Maybe better than double buffering.
All the above steps made it possible to have resizing without any artifacts
even for subtitles. Also fixes dozen of bugs only I knew, like broken subtitles
for rgb565 buffers. I can now sleep at night again.
OSX is POSIX conformant, but it's a sad joke: it provides the
<semaphore.h> prototype as the standard demands, but they're empty
wrappers, and all functions just return ENOSYS.
Emulate them similar to how osdep/io.h emulate filesystem functions on
Windows. By including the header, working sem_* functions become
available.
To make it async-signal safe, use a pipe for wakeup (write() is AS-safe,
but mutexes can't be). Actually I'm not sure anymore if we really need
AS-safety, but for now the emulation can do it.
On Linux, the system provides a far more efficient and robust
implementation. We definitely want to avoid using the emulation if
possible, so this code is active on OSX only. For convenience we always
build the source file though, even if the implementation is disabled and
no actual code is generated.
(Linux provides working semaphores, but is formally not POSIX
conformant. On OSX it's the opposite. Is POSIX a complete joke?)
This was kept in the codebase because it is slightly faster than --vo=opengl
on really old Intel cards (from the GMA era). Time to kill it, and let it rest.
Fixes#1061
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
Abandon the "old" infrastructure for --input-file (mp_input_add_fd(),
select() loop, non-blocking reads). Replace it with something that
starts a reader thread, using blocking input.
This is for the sake of Windows. Windows is a truly insane operating
system, and there's not even a way to read a pipe in a non-blocking
way, or to wait for new input in an interruptible way (like with
poll()). And unfortunately, some want to use pipe to send input to
mpv. There are probably (slightly) better IPC mechanisms available
on Windows, but for the sake of platform uniformity, make this work
again for now.
On Vista+, CancelIoEx() could probably be used. But there's no way on
XP. Also, that function doesn't work on wine, making development
harder. We could forcibly terminate the thread, which might work, but
is unsafe. So what we do is starting a thread, and if we don't want
the pipe input anymore, we just abandon the thread. The thread might
remain blocked forever, but if we exit the process, the kernel will
forcibly kill it. On Unix, just use poll() to handle this.
Unfortunately the code is pretty crappy, but it's ok, because it's late
and I wanted to stop working on this an hour ago.
Tested on wine; might not work on a real Windows.
Since the 'syms' tool is shipped in waf's extras, when using system waf the
default tool overrides our own. Force our syms tool by providing the tooldir.
Fixes#1006
This is probably nicer. The actual version number doesn't change (other
than the minor being incremented).
The "| 0UL" is to make the type unsigned long int, like it was before.
Instead of using a regex to match names to be exported from the libmpv
dynamic shared library, use a libmpv.def file, which lists all exported
functions explicitly.
This reduces the platform specifics in syms.py. I'm not sure if the
separate compile_sym task is still needed (it could probably be
collapsed, which would concentrate the platform specifics into one
place).
Use OPT_KEYVALUELIST() for all places where AVOptions are directly set
from mpv command line options. This allows escaping values, better
diagnostics (also no more "pal"), and somehow reduces code size.
Remove the old crappy option parser (av_opts.c).
Plan 9 has a very interesting synchronization mechanism, the
rendezvous() call. A good property of this is that you don't need to
explicitly initialize and destroy a barrier object, unlike as with e.g.
POSIX barriers (which are mandatory to begin with). Upon "meeting", they
can exchange a value.
This mechanism will be nice to synchronize certain stages of
initialization between threads in the following commit.
Unlike Plan 9 rendezvous(), this is not implemented with a hashtable,
because that would require additional effort (especially if you want to
make it actually scele). Unlike the Plan 9 variant, we use intptr_t
instead of void* as type for the value, because I expect that we will be
mostly passing a status code as value and not a pointer. Converting an
integer to void* requires two cast (because the integer needs to be
intptr_t), the other way around it's only one cast.
We don't particularly care about performance in this case either. It's
simply not important for our use-case. So a simple linked list is used
for waiters, and on wakeup, all waiters are temporarily woken up.
DVD and Bluray (and to some extent cdda) require awful hacks all over
the codebase to make them work. The main reason is that they act like
container, but are entirely implemented on the stream layer. The raw
mpeg data resulting from these streams must be "extended" with the
container-like metadata transported via STREAM_CTRLs. The result were
hacks all over demux.c and some higher-level parts.
Add a "disc" pseudo-demuxer, and move all these hacks and special-cases
to it.
The mplayer1/2/mpv CoreAudio audio output historically contained both usage
of AUHAL APIs (these go through the CoreAudio audio server) and the Device
based APIs (used only for output of compressed formats in exclusive mode).
The latter is a very unwieldy and low level API and pretty much forces us to
write a lot of code for little workr. Also with the widespread of HDMI, the
actual need for outputting compressed audio directly to the device is getting
lower (it was very useful with S/PDIF for bandwidth constraints not allowing
a number if channels transmitted in LPCM).
Considering how invasive it is (uses hog/exclusive mode), the new AO
(`ao_coreaudio_device`) is not going to be autoprobed but the user will have
to select it.
For remarks, pretty much see the manpage additions. Could help with
network streams that require too much seeking (maybe), or might be
extended to help with the use case of watching and downloading a file
at the same time.
In general, it might be a useless feature and could be removed again.
It is reasonably stable, so all further changes will be versioned.
Also change how the libmpv version number is generated. Fix the patch
version number to 0; I don't think we have a use for this. In
particular, the version doesn't version mpv, just the client API.
Does anyone actually use this?
For now, update it, because it's the only case left where an option
points to a global variable (and not a struct offset).
This was never intended to be installed; waf just picked it up
automagically. There's also a closed ticket on github where someone
complains that the program "simple" is installed, and I didn't realize
at this point that it was actually installed by default when enabling
the client API.
If a single person complains, I will readd it. But I don't expect that
this will happen.
The main reason for removing this is that it's some of the most unclean
code remaining, it's unmaintained, and I've never ever heard of someone
using it.
Currently, vo_reconfig() calculates the requested window size and sets
the vo->dwidth/dheight fields _if_ VOCTRL_UPDATE_SCREENINFO is
implemented by the VO or the windowing backend. The window size can be
different from the display size if e.g. the --geometry option is used.
It will also set the vo->dx/dy fields and read vo->xinerama_x/y.
It turned out that this is very backwards and actually requires the
windowing backends to workaround these things. There's also
MPOpts.screenwidth/screenheight, which used to map to actual options,
but is now used only to communicate the screen size to the vo.c code
calculating the window size and position.
Change this by making the window geometry calculations available as
separate functions. This commit doesn't change any VO code yet, and just
emulates the old way using the new functions. VO code will remove its
usage of VOCTRL_UPDATE_SCREENINFO and use the new functions directly.
This factors out some code from vo_vdpau.c, especially deinterlacing
handling. The intention is to use this for vo_vdpau.c to make the logic
significantly easier, and to use it for vo_opengl (gl_hwdec_vdpau.c) to
allow selecting deinterlace and postprocessing modes.
As of this commit, the filter actually does nothing, since both vo_vdpau
and vo_opengl treat the generated images as normal vdpau images. This
will change in the following commits.
