Most common case would be DVB-C / DVB-T combination cards.
Cards with multiple delivery systems are only supported
starting from DVBv5 API (Kernel 2.6.38).
In this case, we loop over all delivery systems and
just treat them as different cards would be treated:
They all get their own TUNER-type, channel-list parsing etc.
This covers source files which were added in mplayer2 and mpv times
only, and where all code is covered by LGPL relicensing agreements.
There are probably more files to which this applies, but I'm being
conservative here.
A file named ao_sdl.c exists in MPlayer too, but the mpv one is a
complete rewrite, and was added some time after the original ao_sdl.c
was removed. The same applies to vo_sdl.c, for which the SDL2 API is
radically different in addition (MPlayer supports SDL 1.2 only).
common.c contains only code written by me. But common.h is a strange
case: although it originally was named mp_common.h and exists in MPlayer
too, by now it contains only definitions written by uau and me. The
exceptions are the CONTROL_ defines - thus not changing the license of
common.h yet.
codec_tags.c contained once large tables generated from MPlayer's
codecs.conf, but all of these tables were removed.
From demux_playlist.c I'm removing a code fragment from someone who was
not asked; this probably could be done later (see commit 15dccc37).
misc.c is a bit complicated to reason about (it was split off mplayer.c
and thus contains random functions out of this file), but actually all
functions have been added post-MPlayer. Except get_relative_time(),
which was written by uau, but looks similar to 3 different versions of
something similar in each of the Unix/win32/OSX timer source files. I'm
not sure what that means in regards to copyright, so I've just moved it
into another still-GPL source file for now.
screenshot.c once had some minor parts of MPlayer's vf_screenshot.c, but
they're all gone.
On read, it returns the name of the current DVB program,
on write, it triggers a channel-switch to the program
if it is found in the channel list of the currently active card.
Compared to the dvb-channel property which already exists
and is a pair of integers (card + channel number) this has the limitation
of not switching the card, but is probably of much more common use.
The mutex is used in dvbin_open and dvbin_close only since these are
the only entry / exit points to the stream.
When opening, it is first checked (mutexed) whether the state already exists
and is in use, then a STREAM_ERROR is returned,
since there may be only one stream_dvb active at a time.
State-creation itself is also protected by mutex.
In dvbin_close, the usage-bit is set to false (mutexed) in case
of channel switch.
In case of stream-teardown, the state is destructed
(also protected by mutex).
The state-structure is kept in a static pointer and reused on
recreation of the stream.
To not leak the state and the FDs within upon mpv shutdown,
the state-structure is still destructed gracefully in dvbin_close(),
unless a channel switch has been initiated directly before.
This fixes channel-switching for DVB which was broken since a609877.
The state-struct now contains everything which can be kept after initial initialization.
This includes the channel-lists, configuration, device-fds and also information like
current channel and current card.
The dvb_priv_t is kept containing the mp-options, a pointer to the state and to the logger.
After this restructuring, the state-struct contains all information which can be persisted
across channel switching.
Windows definitely supports Unix-style fd inheritance. This mostly
worked when launched from mpv.exe, though mpv should change the file
mode to O_BINARY. When launched from mpv.com, the wrapper must pass the
list of handles (stored in the undocumented lpReserved2 and cbReserved2
fields) to the mpv process.
This is only for specific Hauppage cards. According to the comments in
who is actively using this feature. Get it out of the way.
Anyone who still wants to use this should complain. Keeping this code
would not cause terribly much additional work, and it could be restored
again. (But not if the request comes months later.)
This commit introduces logic to read other volumes from the same source
as the primary archive. Both .rar formats as well as 7z are supported for now.
It also changes the libarchive callback structure to be per-volume
consistent with the libarchive intenal client data array constructed
with archive_read_append_callback_data.
Added open, close and switch callbacks. Only the latter is strictly
required to make sure that the streams always start at position 0, but
leaving all volumes open can eat a lot of memory for archives with many
parts.
Don't print the URL that is opened twice. stream.c and stream_lavf.c
each printed it once. Remove the logging from stream_lavf.c, and move
the log call to a more interesting point.
This causes weirdness with the "cache-size" property and option. Only
the read handler of the property included the backbuffer, while all
others did not. Make it consistent, and subtract the backbuffer size
from the cache size.
Fixes#2305.
As expected, probing with libarchive is a disaster. Both libavformat and
libarchive are too eager to misdetect file formats just because files
"might" be of a specific type. In this case, it's mp3 vs. tar. To be
fair, neither file format has an actual header. I'm not sure why we'd
need tar support, but since libarchive provides it, and idiots on the
internet apparently pack media files in tar sometimes (really, idiots),
keep it for now, and probe tar last.
libarchive uses a quite confusing ifdeffery mess for some of the types
used in callbacks. Currently, archive_read_set_seek_callback() causes a
warning at least on Windows due to mismatching return type. The header
file uses __LA_INT64_T as return type, so I think the user is intended
to use int64_t.
(The ssize_t return type for the read_cb seems correct, on the other
hand.)
Things like .gz etc., which have no real file header. A mixed bag,
because it e.g. tends to misdetect mp3 files as compressed files or
something (of course it has no mp3 support - I don't know as what it
detects them). But requested by someone (or maybe not, I'm not sure
how to interpret that).
This works similar to the existing .rar support, but uses libarchive.
libarchive supports a number of formats, including zip and (most of)
rar.
Unfortunately, seeking does not work too well. Most libarchive readers
do not support seeking, so it's emulated by skipping data until the
target position. On backwards seek, the file is reopened. This works
fine on a local machine (and if the file is not too large), but will
perform not so well over network connection.
This is disabled by default for now. One reason is that we try
libarchive on every file we open, before trying libavformat, and I'm not
sure if I trust libarchive that much yet. Another reason is that this
breaks multivolume rar support. While libarchive supports seeking in
rar, and (probably) supports multivolume archive, our support of
libarchive (probably) does not. I don't care about multivolume rar, but
vocal users do.
Revert "win32: more wchar_t -> WCHAR replacements"
Revert "win32: replace wchar_t with WCHAR"
Doing a "partial" port of this makes no sense anymore from my
perspective. Revert the changes, as they're confusing without
context, maintenance, and progress. These changes were a bit
premature anyway, and might actually cause other issues
(locale neutrality etc. as it was pointed out).
This was essentially missing from commit 0b52ac8a.
Since L"..." string literals have the type wchar_t[], we can't use them
for UTF-16 strings. Use C11 u"..." string literals instead. These have
the type char16_t[], but we simply assume char16_t is the same
underlying type as WCHAR. In practice, they're both unsigned short.
For this reason use -std=c11 on Windows. Since Windows is a "special"
environment (we require either MinGW or Cygwin), we don't need to worry
too much about compiler compatibility.
Allow setting an arbitrary amount, instead of the fixed 50%.
This is nto striclty backwards compatible. The defaults don't change,
but the --cache/--cache-default options now set the readahead portion.
So in practice, users who configured this until now will see the
double amount of cache being used, _plus_ the 75MB default backbuffer
will be in use.
Currently, this is perfectly equivalent, because back_size is hardcoded
to buffer_size/2. But this fixes the logic for the case the back_size
can be configured freely.
DVD/BD menu support never worked right, and are a pain to maintain. In
particular, DVD menus never actually worked correctly, because
highlights were not rendered correctly. Fixing this requires major
effort, which I'm not interested to spend.
Most importantly, the requirement to switch streams without losing the
DVD/BD state caused major weirdness in the playback core. It was
implemented by somehow syncing the playback state to the DVD/BD
implementation (in stream_dvdnav.c etc.), and then reloading the demuxer
without destroying and recreating the stream. This caused a bunch of
special-cases which I'm looking forward to remove.
For now, don't just remove everything related to menu support and just
disable it. If someone volunteers, it can be restored (i.e. rewritten)
in a reasonable way. If nobody volunteers soon, it goes.
Normally, the cache keeps 50% of the buffer for seeking backwards. Until
now, the cache just used the full buffer size at the beginning of a
file, because the 50% normally reserved for the backbuffer are unused.
This caused a problem: when streaming from http, the player would first
read about 150MB (default cache size), then stop until 75MB of the cache
has been played. (Until the 75MB position, the cache is fully used, so
nothing new can be read. After that, part of the backbuffer starts
getting unreserved, and can be used for readahead.) This long read pause
can cause the server to terminate the connection. Reconnecting may be
possible, but if youtube-dl is used, the media URL may have become
invalid.
Fix this by limiting readahead to 50% even if unnecessary. The only
exception is when the whole file would fit in the cache. In this case,
it won't matter if we can't reconnect, because the cache covers
everything anyway, and hopefully the cache will stay valid.
Likely fixes#2000.
There is not much of a reason to have these wrappers around. Use POSIX
standard functions directly, and use a separate utility function to take
care of the timespec calculations. (Course POSIX for using this weird
format for time values.)
This code does not know whether the stream supports reconnecting until
STREAM_CTRL_RECONNECT is called. So the message should be printed after
it. To avoid that reconnects that succeed on the first try go unnoticed,
print a warning on success.
An approximate measure to make it exit possibly slightly earlier.
Relatively speaking, some time will pass between cancellation and
the cache actually being requested to exit, so it's good if the
cache returns EOF immediately.
