mpv_destroy() should perhaps better be called mpv_detach(), because it
destroys only the handle, not necessarily the player. The player is only
terminated if a quit command is sent.
This function quits automatically, and additionally waits until the
player is completely destroyed. It removes the possibility that the
player core is still uninitializing, while all client handles are
already destroyed. (Although in practice, the difference is usually not
important.)
Now a negative timeout mean an infinite timeout. This is similar to the
poll() system call. Apparently this is more intuitive and less confusing
than specifying a "very high" value as timeout if you want to wait
forever.
For callers that never pass negative timeouts, nothing changes.
Listening on messages currently uses polling (every time
mpv_wait_event() has no new events, the message buffer is polled and a
message event is possibly created). Improve this situation a bit, and
call the user-supplied wakeup callback.
This will increase the frequency with which the wakeup callback is
called, but the client is already supposed to be able to deal with this
situation. Also, as before, calling mpv_wait_event() from the wakeup
callback is forbidden, so the client can't read new messages from the
callback directly.
The wakeup pipe is written either. Since the wakeup pipe is created
lazily, we can't access the pipe handle without creating a race
condition or a deadlock. (This is actually very silly, since in practice
the race condition won't matter, but for now let's keep it clean.)
If an API user calls mpv_wait_event() and mpv_observe_property() before
mpv_initialize(), it could happen that a property was accessed before
initialization, which is not ok.
This was always intended this way, and even documented in client.h. Due
to an oversight it was never actually implemented.
The intention is that mpv embedded in applications and "real mpv" don't
conflict. An API user can undo this by setting the "config" option to
"yes", if using the user's mpv config is desired.
This simply writes the file name as a comment to the top of the watch later
config file.
It can be useful to the user for determining whether a watch later config file
can be manually removed (e.g. in case the corresponding media file has been
deleted) or not.
Until now, an error was reported only if the command couldn't be parsed.
Attempt to do more fine-grained reporting. This is not necessarily
perfect, but it's an improvement.
This code handles buggy AOs (even if all AOs are bug-free, it's good for
robustness). Move handling of it to the AO feed thread. Now this check
doesn't require magic numbers and does exactly what's it supposed to do.
The i_bps members of the sh_audio and dev_video structs are mostly used
for displaying the average audio and video bitrates. Keeping them in
bits-per-second avoids truncating them to bytes-per-second and changing
them back lateron.
When Lua itself prints errors such as:
Error: [string "mp.defaults"]:387: syntax error near 'function'
It's unclear why the location is prefixed with "string ". And for some
reason, it disappears if you prefix the name with '@'. I suppose this is
done for the sake of luaL_loadstring. With the '@' prefix added, the
output is now:
Error: mp.defaults:387: syntax error near 'function'
These are actually already included in osdep/io.h, but I think it's
cleaner to repeat them in the file where they are actually needed.
(osdep/io.h needs to have them for other reasons.)
Commit e2e450f9 started making use of luaL_register(), but OF COURSE
this function disappeared in Lua 5.2, and was replaced with a 5.2-only
alternative, slightly different mechanism.
So just NIH our own function. This is actually slightly more correct,
since it forces the user to call "require" to actually make the module
visible for builtin C-only modules other than "mp". Fix autoload.lua
accordingly.
We need this only because Lua's stdlib is so scarce. Lua doesn't intend
to include a complete stdlib - they confine themselves to standard C,
both for portability reasons and to keep the code minimal. But standard
C does not provide much either.
It would be possible to use Lua POSIX wrapper libraries, but that would
be a messy (and unobvious) dependency. It's better to implement the
missing functions ourselves, as long as they're small in number.
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).
Small fixes for the OSC, seektooltip now enabled by default.
Option-parser now moved to separate package, can be used from
other scripts, see DOCS/man/en/lua.rst.
OSC config file location moved to lua-settings/osc.conf
The quit command has an optional argument that is used as exit code.
Extend that to the quit_watch_later command. Actually, unify the
implementations of the two commands.
Requested in #798.
Cover art is treated like video, but is not really video. In one case,
the audio sync code was accidentally still active. Fixes cover art
playback with --ao=null. (This is due to ao_null's latency emulation.
Although it's not very clear whether that is actually correct...)
vo_vdpau currently has a video queue larger than 1 entry, which causes
the video display code to never queue display the video frame. This is
because we consider cover art an endless stream of frames decoded from
the same source packet, and include special logic to actually only
decode and display 1 frame.
Also, make decode_image() also signal EOF in the cover art case.
Some options change from percentages to number of kilobytes; there are
no cache options using percentages anymore.
Raise the default values. The cache is now 25000 kilobytes, although if
your connection is slow enough, the maximum is probably never reached.
(Although all the memory will still be used as seekback-cache.)
Remove the separate --audio-file-cache option, and use the cache default
settings for it.
This is probably a good idea, because it would make it easier for
software embedding mpv to configure the mpv parts, without requiring the
host program to provide explicit mechanisms for this (other than calling
mpv_load_config_file()).
The code paths for setting options by string and by direct "raw" value
were too different, which resulted in some weird code. Make the code
paths closer to each other.
Also, use this to remove the weirdness in the mpv_set_option()
implementation.
Use the time as returned by mp_time_us() for mpthread_cond_timedwait(),
instead of calculating the struct timespec value based on a timeout.
This (probably) makes it easier to wait for a specific deadline.
When the player is paused, and video filters are changed, an exact seek
is executed to refresh the display. Increase the exactness of the seek
in this case; this reuses the code used for frame backstepping.
It might help in cases where seeking is very imprecise, such as with
transport streams.
If a property is notified as changed, and then again (before the change
notification is returned to the client), and the second change is a
sporadic change (i.e. nothing actually changed) and the change
notification was associated with with a data type, it could happen that
a change was "overlooked", because it would detect no change on the
second notification.
This is actually a pretty annoying corner case, due to the annoying way
we do things, so just store both the previously returned _and_ the newly
obtained property value. then we always compare with the user value to
check for a change, excluding any possibility of a missed change.
Note that we don't (can't/shouldn't) care if a value changes, and then
changes back; it's fine if that doesn't generate a notification. This is
due to how property notifications are supposed to be coalesced.
These are now equivalent to combining commands with the "cycle pause" or
"set pause" commands, and thus are not needed anymore. They were also
obscure and undocumented.
mpv supports per-file config files, basically filename+".conf". We use
a static buffer for the new filename, and if that buffer is too small,
we print a warning. This is confusing for e.g. long URLs, so just hide
the warning by default.
Why not dynamically allocate the buffer? Who cares.
This is done after filters, so things like framerate-doubling
deinterlacing is accounted for.
Unfortunately, framedropping can cause inaccuracies (especially after
precise seeks), and we can't really know when that happens. Even though
we know that the decoder might drop a frame if we request it to do so,
we don't know when the dropped frame will start or stop affecting the
video filter chain. Video filters can have frames buffered, and we
can't tell at which point the dropped frame would have been output.
It's not even possible to mark a discontinuity after seek, because
again we don't know if the filter chain still has the discontinuity
within its buffers.
So we have to live with the fact that the output of this property can
be completely broken after seek, unless --no-hr-seek-framedrop is used.
This allows disabling of decoder framedrop during hr-seek.
It's basically another useless option, but it will help exploring
whether this framedropping really makes seeking faster, or whether
disabling it helps with precise seeking (especially frame backstepping).
Until recently, the VO was an unavoidable part of the seeking code path.
This was because vdpau deinterlacing could double the framerate, and hr-
seek and framestepping etc. all had to "see" the additional frames. But
we've removed the frame doubling from the vdpau VO and moved it into a
video filter (vf_vdpaupp), and there's no reason left why the VO should
participate in seeking.
Instead of queuing frames to the VO during seek and skipping them
afterwards, drop the frames early.
This actually might make seeking with vo_vdpau and software decoding
faster, although I haven't measured it.
Now we avoid calling update_video() twice on reconfig (once to check
whether there are still new frames, and again to actually do the
reconfig). Instead, we check whether there's still something going on
before calling update_video() at all, and depending on that
update_video() will be allowed to reconfig or not.
This will simplify some things later.
Make it more suitable for chaining. This means a function formatting a
value to a string using a static buffer can work exactly like
mp_snprintf_append itself.
Also rename it to mp_snprintf_cat, because that's shorter.
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.
When loading a video, and a script reacts to MPV_EVENT_VIDEO_RECONFIG,
and the script inserts a video filter, the first frame can be skipped.
This happens simply because the first frame is (usually) still queued in
the video filter chain, and changing the filter chain will drop all
queued frames. So this is just a corner case that just happens in a
weird situation.
But it's still annoying when having such a script, and starting
something where the first frame is very visible, and not starting in
paused mode. (All in all, a corner case.) Do this by immediately queuing
1 filtered frame to the VO immediately after reconfig, instead of
leaving it to the video loop doing it as "incremental" work. Simply
fallthrough to the next case. We must not overwrite "r" in this case,
because that contains the current status.
Note that the first frame will not be filtered using the inserted
filter.
This wasn't really fine, and could (perhaps) cause weird corner cases on
reinit or when the player was paused.
Before eb9d20, video_left was also set to true if vo->frame_loaded was
set, and this variable basically indicated whether the previous
update_video() call was successful. This was overlooked when changing
everything. Simply always call update_video(), it should be equivalent.
Apparently the value of a pointer is "indeterminate" after a free()
call, even if you never dereference the pointer after the free. Since
talloc_free() calls free(), this applies here.
This affects the return value of mp.script_name, the "client name"
(what's returned by mpv_client_name()) and all associated features, as
well as the mpv terminal output module prefix when scripts print
something.
As discussed in #748.
Change how the video decoding loop works. The structure should now be a
bit easier to follow. The interactions on format changes are (probably)
simpler. This also aligns the decoding loop with future planned changes,
such as moving various things to separate threads.
Give up on the deint_filters[] array, and probe using explicit code
instead. Add additional checks to test the pixel format to avoid
annoying warnings when a hardware deinterlacer is inserted when the
current video chain is obviously incompatible.
lavfi would segfault due to a NULL dereference if it was asked for its
metadata and none had been allocated (oops). This happens for libav
which has no concept of filter metadata.
Commit 5e4e248 added a mp_image_params field to mp_image, and moved many
parameters to that struct. display_w/h was left redundant with
mp_image_params.d_w/d_h. These fields were supposed to be always in
sync, but it seems some code forgot to do this correctly, such as
vf_fix_img_params() or mp_image_copy_attributes(). This led to the
problem in github issue #756, because display_w/_h could become
incorrect.
It turns out that most code didn't use the old fields anyway. Just
remove them. Note that mp_image_params.d_w/d_h are supposed to be always
valid, so the additional checks for 0 shouldn't be needed. Remove these
checks as well.
Fixes#756.
Or in other words, add support for properly draining remaining frames
from video filters. vf_yadif is buffering at least one frame, and the
buffered frame was not retrieved on EOF.
For most filters, ignore this for now, and just adjust them to the
changed semantics of filter_ext. But for vf_lavfi (used by vf_yadif),
real support is implemented. libavfilter handles this simply by passing
a NULL frame to av_buffersrc_add_frame(), so we just have to make
mp_to_av() handle NULL arguments.
In load_next_vo_frame(), we first try to output a frame buffered in the
VO, then the filter, and then (if EOF is reached and there's still no
new frame) the VO again, with draining enabled. I guess this was
implemented slightly incorrectly before, because the filter chain still
could have had remaining output frames.
The interrupt callback will can be called from another thread if the
cache is enabled, and the stream disconnects. Then stream_reconnect()
will call this function from within the cache thread.
mp_input_check_interrupt() is not thread-safe due to read_events() not
being thread-safe. It will call input callbacks added with
mp_input_add_fd() - these callbacks lead to code not protected by locks,
such as reading X11 events.
Solve this by adding a stupid hack, which checks whether the calling
thread is the main playback thread (i.e. calling the input callbacks
will be safe). We can remove this hack later, but it requires at least
moving the VO to its own thread first.
This used global variables for the asynchronous interrupt callback.
Pick the simple and dumb solution and stuff the callback into
mpv_global. Do this because interrupt checking should also work in the
connect phase, and currently stream creation equates connecting.
Ideally, this would be passed to the stream on creation instead, or
connecting would be separated from creation. But since I don't know yet
which is better, and since moving stream/demuxer into their own thread
is something that will happen later, go with the mpv_global solution.
This was part of osdep/threads.c out of laziness. But it doesn't contain
anything OS dependent. Note that the rest of threads.c actually isn't
all that OS dependent either (just some minor ifdeffery to work around
the lack of clock_gettime() on OSX).
This should fix some issues, such as not being able to set the
"no-video" option with MPV_FORMAT_FLAG.
Note that this changes semantics a bit. Now setting an option strictly
overwrite it, even if the corresponding command line option does not.
For example, if we change --sub to append by default, then setting the
"sub" option via the client API would still never append. (Oddly, this
also applies to --vf-add, which will overwrite the old value when using
the client API.)
I'm doing this because there's no proper separation between the command
line parser and setting an option using the MPV_FORMAT_STRING format.
Maybe the solution to this mess would be adding format aware code (i.e.
m_option_set_node) to every option type, and falling back to strings
only if needed - but this would mean that you couldn't set e.g. an
integer option using MPV_FORMAT_STRING, which doesn't seem to be ideal
either.
In conclusion, the current approach seems to be most robust, but I'm
open to suggestions should someone find that these semantics are a
problem.
If the VO can't do rotation, insert a filter to do this. Note that this
doesn't reuse the filter insertion code from command.c (used by "vf"
input command), because that would end up more complicated: we don't
even want to change the user filter option.
Often, user configs set options that are not suitable for encoding.
Usually, playback and encoding are pretty different things, so it makes
sense to keep them strictly separate. There are several possible
solutions. The approach taken by this commit is to basically ignore the
default config settings, and switch to an [encoding] config profile
section instead. This also makes it impossible to have --o in a config
file, because --o enables encode mode.
See github issue #727 for discussion.
Not needed anymore. I'm not opposed to having asm, but inline asm is too
much of a pain, and it was planned long ago to eventually get rid fo all
inline asm uses.
For the note, the inline asm use that was removed with the previous
commits was almost worthless. It was confined to video filters, and most
video filtering is now done with libavfilter. Some mpv filters (like
vf_pullup) actually redirect to libavfilter if possible.
If asm is added in the future, it should happen in the form of external
files.
