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.
(Again.)
This time, we simply make it event-based, as it should be. This is done
for both demuxer metadata and stream metadata.
For some ogg-over-icy streams, 2 updates are reported on stream start.
This is because libavformat reports an update right on start, while
including the same info in the "static" metadata. I don't know if that's
a bug or a feature.
It's unlikely that files with multiple audio tracks and with replaygain
actually happen, but this change might help avoid minor corner cases
with later changes.
Probably "needed" to get the correct alignment, although I'm not aware
of actual breakages or performance issues.
In fact we should probably always just allocate AVPackets, but for now
use the simple fix.
FFmpeg requires a bullshit padding after each input buffer, and they
just increased that padding without warning and without ABI or API bump.
We need this only in one file (although mp_image hardcodes something
similar, for which no FFmpeg API define is available), so drop our own
define.
Stop using it in most places, and prefer STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE. The
advantage is that always the correct size will be used. There can be no
doubt anymore whether the end_pos value is outdated (as it happens often
with files that are being downloaded).
Some streams still use end_pos. They don't change size, and it's easier
to emulate STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE using end_pos, instead of adding a
STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE implementation to these streams.
Make sure int64_t is always used for STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE (it was
uint64_t before).
Remove the seek flags mess, and replace them with a seekable flag. Every
stream must set it consistently now, and an assertion in stream.c checks
this. Don't distinguish between streams that can only be forward or
backwards seeked, since we have no such stream types.
stream.start_pos was needed for optical media only, and (apparently) not
for very good reasons. Just get rid of it.
For stream_dvd, we don't need to do anything. Byte seeking was already
removed from it earlier.
For stream_cdda and stream_vcd, emulate the start_pos by offsetting the
stream pos as seen by the rest of mpv.
The bits in discnav.c and loadfile.c were for dealing with the code
seeking back to the start in demux.c. Handle this differently by
assuming the demuxer is always initialized with the stream at start
position, and instead seek back if initializing the demuxer fails.
Remove the --sb option, which worked by modifying stream.start_pos. If
someone really wants this option, it could be added back by creating a
"slice" stream (actually ffmpeg already has such a thing).
Also remove MSGL_SMODE and friends.
Note: The indent in options.rst was added to work around a bug in
ReportLab that causes the PDF manual build to fail.
Instead, always use the mpctx->chapters array. Before this commit, this
array was used only for ordered chapters and such, but now it's always
populated if there are chapters.
Stream-level chapters (like DVD etc.) did potentially not have
timestamps for each chapter, so STREAM_CTRL_SEEK_TO_CHAPTER and
STREAM_CTRL_GET_CURRENT_CHAPTER were needed to navigate chapters. We've
switched everything to use timestamps and that seems to work, so we can
simplify the code and remove this old mechanism.
Instead of printing lines like:
Demuxer info GENRE changed to Alternative Rock
Just output all tags once they change. The assumption is that individual
tags rarely change, while all tags change in the common case.
This changes tag updates to use polling. This could be fixed later,
although the ICY stuff makes it a bit painful, so maybe it will remain
this way.
Also remove DEMUXER_CTRL_UPDATE_INFO. This was intended to check for tag
updates, but now we use a different approach.
The TV code pretends to be part of stream/, but it's actually demuxer
code too. The audio_in code is shared between the TV code and
stream_radio.c, so stream_radio.c needs a small hack until stream.c is
converted.
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 tmsg stuff was for the internal gettext() based translation system,
which nobody ever attempted to use and thus was removed. mp_gtext() and
set_osd_tmsg() were also for this.
mp_dbg was once enabled in debug mode only, but since we have log level
for enabling debug messages, it seems utterly useless.
This readds a more or less completely new dvdnav implementation, though
it's based on the code from before commit 41fbcee. Note that this is
rather basic, and might be broken or not quite usable in many cases.
Most importantly, navigation highlights are not correctly implemented.
This would require changes in the FFmpeg dvdsub decoder (to apply a
different internal CLUT), so supporting it is not really possible right
now. And in fact, I don't think I ever want to support it, because it's
a very small gain for a lot of work. Instead, mpv will display fake
highlights, which are an approximate bounding box around the real
highlights.
Some things like mouse input or switching audio/subtitles stream using
the dvdnav VM are not supported.
Might be quite fragile on transitions: if dvdnav initiates a transition,
and doesn't give us enough mpeg data to initialize video playback, the
player will just quit.
This is added only because some users seem to want it. I don't intend to
make mpv a good DVD player, so the very basic minimum will have to do.
How about you just convert your DVD to proper video files?
These packets have to be explicitly dropped, because usually libavcodec
uses 0-sized packets to flush delayed frames, meaning just passing
through these packets would have bad consequences.
Normally, libavformat doesn't output 0-sized packets anyway. But I don't
want to take any chances, so don't delete it, and just move it out of
the way to demux.c.
Having the DTS directly can be useful for restoring PTS values.
The avi file format doesn't actually store PTS values, just DTS. An
older hack explicitly exported the DTS as PTS (ignoring the [I assume]
genpts generated non-sense PTS), which is not necessary anymore due to
this change.
This used to be needed to access the generic stream header from the
specific headers, which in turn was needed because the decoders had
access only to the specific headers. This is not the case anymore, so
this can finally be removed again.
Also move the "format" field from the specific headers to sh_stream.
This is similar to the sh_audio commit.
This is mostly cosmetic in nature, except that it also adds automatical
freeing of the decoder driver's state struct (which was in
sh_video->context, now in dec_video->priv).
Also remove all the stheader.h fields that are not needed anymore.
demuxer->filepos contains the byte offset of the last read packet. This
is so that the player can estimate the current playback position, if no
proper timestamps are available. Simplify it to use demux_packet->pos in
the generic demuxer code, instead of bothering every demuxer
implementation about it.
(Note that this is still a bit incorrect: it relfects the position of
the last packet read by the demuxer, not that returned to the user. But
that was already broken, and is not that trivial to fix.)
Slightly simplifies memory management. This might make adding a demuxer
cache wrapper easier at a later point, because you can just copy the
complete stream header, without worrying that the wrapper will free the
individual stream header fields.
Most libavcodec decoders output non-interleaved audio. Add direct
support for this, and remove the hack that repacked non-interleaved
audio back to packed audio.
Remove the minlen argument from the decoder callback. Instead of
forcing every decoder to have its own decode loop to fill the buffer
until minlen is reached, leave this to the caller. So if a decoder
doesn't return enough data, it's simply called again. (In future, I
even want to change it so that decoders don't read packets directly,
but instead the caller has to pass packets to the decoders. This fits
well with this change, because now the decoder callback typically
decodes at most one packet.)
ad_mpg123.c receives some heavy refactoring. The main problem is that
it wanted to handle format changes when there was no data in the decode
output buffer yet. This sounds reasonable, but actually it would write
data into a buffer prepared for old data, since the caller doesn't know
about the format change yet. (I.e. the best place for a format change
would be _after_ writing the last sample to the output buffer.) It's
possible that this code was not perfectly sane before this commit,
and perhaps lost one frame of data after a format change, but I didn't
confirm this. Trying to fix this, I ended up rewriting the decoding
and also the probing.
