Unfortunately, there's a recursive function call in ao_lavc.c (play
function), leading to a deadlock. The locking is getting a bit messy, so
just make the lock recursive.
This fixes#844.
While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
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.)
A playlist_move command that moves an entry onto itself (both arguments
have the same index) should do nothing, but it did something broken. The
underlying reason is that it checks the prev pointer of the entry which
is temporarily removed for moving.
In my opinion, we shouldn't use atomics at all, but ok.
This switches the mpv code to use C11 stdatomic.h, and for compilers
that don't support stdatomic.h yet, we emulate the subset used by mpv
using the builtins commonly provided by gcc and clang.
This supersedes an earlier similar attempt by Kovensky. That attempt
unfortunately relied on a big copypasted freebsd header (which also
depended on much more highly compiler-specific functionality, defined
reserved symbols, etc.), so it had to be NIH'ed.
Some issues:
- C11 says default initialization of atomics "produces a valid state",
but it's not sure whether the stored value is really 0. But we rely on
this.
- I'm pretty sure our use of the __atomic... builtins is/was incorrect.
We don't use atomic load/store intrinsics, and access stuff directly.
- Our wrapper actually does stricter typechecking than the stdatomic.h
implementation by gcc 4.9. We make the atomic types incompatible with
normal types by wrapping them into structs. (The FreeBSD wrapper does
the same.)
- I couldn't test on MinGW.
When writing a video to foo.mp3, the user's intention is clearly to drop
the video stream, and similarly, when writing to foo-%d.png, the
intention is clearly to drop the audio stream. Now, explicit
specification of --no-audio or --no-video is no longer necessary in
these cases.
Use the exact floating point value, instead of a broken integer
constant. The expression calculating the constant probably relied on
undefined behavior, because it left-shifts a negative value.
This also changes the type of the constant to double, which is perfectly
fine, and maybe better than an integer constant.
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.
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.
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.
This collects statistics and other things. The option dumps raw data
into a file. A script to visualize this data is included too.
Litter some of the player code with calls that generate these
statistics.
In general, this will be helpful to debug timing dependent issues, such
as A/V sync problems. Normally, one could argue that this is the task of
a real profiler, but then we'd have a hard time to include extra
information like audio/video PTS differences. We could also just
hardcode all statistics collection and processing in the player code,
but then we'd end up with something like mplayer's status line, which
was cluttered and required a centralized approach (i.e. getting the data
to the status line; so it was all in mplayer.c). Some players can
visualize such statistics on OSD, but that sounds even more complicated.
So the approach added with this commit sounds sensible.
The stats-conv.py script is rather primitive at the moment and its
output is semi-ugly. It uses matplotlib, so it could probably be
extended to do a lot, so it's not a dead-end.
This re-allows the previous behaviour of being able to reencode with
metadata removed, which is useful when encoding "inconsistently" tagged
data for a device/player that shows file names when tags are not
present.
These playlist parsers are all what's left from the old mplayer playlist
parsing code. All of it is old code that does little error checking; the
type of C string parsing code that gives you nightmare.
Some playlist parsers have been rewritten and are located in
demux_playlist.c. The removed formats were not reimplemented. ASX and
SMIL use XML, and since we don't want to depend on a full blown XML
parser, this is not so easy. Possibly these formats could be supported
by writing a very primitive XML-like lexer, which would lead to success
with most real world files, but I haven't attempted that. As for NSC, I
couldn't find any URL that worked with MPlayer, and in general this
formats seems to be more than dead.
Move playlist_parse_file() to playlist.c. It's pretty small now, and
basically just opens a stream and a demuxer. No use keeping
playlist_parser.c just for this.
Since the AO will run in a thread, and there's lots of shared state with
encoding, we have to add locking.
One case this doesn't handle correctly are the encode_lavc_available()
calls in ao_lavc.c and vo_lavc.c. They don't do much (and usually only
to protect against doing --ao=lavc with normal playback), and changing
it would be a bit messy. So just leave them.
This field will be moved out of the ao struct. The encoding code was
basically using an invalid way of accessing this field.
Since the AO will be moved into its own thread too and will do its own
buffering, the AO and the playback core might not even agree which
sample a PTS timestamp belongs to. Add some extrapolation code to handle
this case.
Will be helpful to track down strange wait times and such issues, as
well when you have develop something timing related. (Then you may print
timestamps in your debug output, and the --msgtime timestamps will help
giving context.)
Print a warning if a library has mismatched compile time and link time
versions.
Refuse to work if the compile time and link time versions are a mix of
ffmpeg and libav. We print an error message and call exit(). Since we'd
randomly crash anyway, I think this is ok.
This doesn't catch the case if you e.g. use a ffmpeg libavcodec and a
libav libavformat, which would of course just crash as quickly, but I
think this checks enough already.
On Windows, no ANSI control sequences are available, so we can't easily
clear lines, move the cursor, etc. It's yet to be decided how this
should be handled (emulate ANSI escapes in osdep/terminal-win.c, or
provide abstracted terminal API functions to unify the Linux and Windows
code).
For now, this fixes the regression that was introduced earlier by the
status line rewrite. It doesn't fix all aspects of status line and
terminal OSD handling, as can be clearly seen by the unconditional use
of terminal_erase_to_end_of_line further down the changed code.
Fixes github issue #499 (sort of).
This avoids stray newlines when:
1. Some (non-status line) text was output
2. Then an empty status line is output
According to the logic, 2. should print an empty line to show the blank
status line. Don't do that, and instead output nothing in this case.
This caused problems with mpv_identify.sh, and also looked ugly when
using --quiet.
This was broken yesterday: the playlist demuxer will always fall back to
plaintext playlist files, which will cause the ASX playlist parser and
some others never to be called.
Until now, mp_msg output always went to the terminal. There was no way
to grab the stream of output messages. But this will be needed by
various future changes: Lua scripts, slave mode, client library...
This commit allows registering a ring buffer. A callback would be more
straight-forward, but since msg.c sits at the bottom of the lock
hierarchy (it's used by virtually everything), this would probably be a
nightmare. A ring buffer will be simpler and more predictable in the
long run.
We allocate new memory for each ringbuffer entry, which is probably a
bit expensive. We could try to be clever and somehow pack the data
directly into the buffer, but I felt like this wouldn't be worth the
complexity. You'd have to copy the data a bunch of times anyway. I'm
hoping that we can get away with using the ringbuffer mechanism for
low frequency important messages only (and not e.g. for high volume
debug messages), so the cost doesn't matter that much.
A ringbuffer has a simple, single log level. I considered allowing
--msglevel style per-prefix configuration for each ringbuffer, but
that would have been pretty complicated to implement, and wouldn't
have been that useful either.
This makes
mp_msg(x, y, "a\nb\n")
behave the same as
mp_msg(x, y, "a\n")
mp_msg(x, y, "b\n")
which is probably what one would expect. Before this commit, the "b"
line didn't have a prefix when using ths single mp_msg call.
The terminal OSD code includes the handling of the terminal status line,
showing player OSD messages on the terminal, and showing subtitles on
terminal (the latter two only if there is no video window, or if
terminal OSD is forced).
This didn't handle some corner cases correctly. For example, showing an
OSD message on the terminal always cleared the previous line, even if
the line was an important message (or even just the command prompt, if
most other messages were silenced).
Attempt to handle this correctly by keeping track of how many lines the
terminal OSD currently consists of. Since there could be race conditions
with other messages being printed, implement this in msg.c. Now msg.c
expects that MSGL_STATUS messages rewrite the status line, so the caller
is forced to use a single mp_msg() call to set the status line.
Instead of littering print_status() all over the place, update the
status only once per playloop iteration in update_osd_msg(). In audio-
only mode, the status line might now be a little bit off, but it's
perhaps ok.
Print the status line only if it has changed, or if another message was
printed. This might help with extremely slow terminals, although in
audio+video mode, it'll still be updated very often (A-V sync display
changes on every frame).
Instead of hardcoding the terminal sequences, use
terminfo/termcap to get the sequences. Remove the --term-osd-esc option,
which allowed to override the hardcoded escapes - it's useless now.
The fallback for terminals with no escape sequences for moving the
cursor and clearing a line is removed. This somewhat breaks status line
display on these terminals, including the MS Windows console: instead of
querying the terminal size and clearing the line manually by padding the
output with spaces, the line is simply not cleared. I don't expect this
to be a problem on UNIX, and on MS Windows we could emulate escape
sequences. Note that terminal OSD (other than the status line) was
broken anyway on these terminals.
In osd.c, the function get_term_width() is not used anymore, so remove
it. To remind us that the MS Windows console apparently adds a line
break when writint the last column, adjust screen_width in terminal-
win.c accordingly.
This code is shared between input.conf parser and option parser. Until
now, the performance didn't really matter. But I want to use this code
for JSON parsing too, and since JSON will have to be parsed a lot, it
should probably try to avoid realloc'ing too much.
This commit moves parsing of C-style escaped strings into a common
function, and allows using it in a way realloc can be completely
avoided, if the already allocated buffer is large enough.
I find this annoying. It's the reason common/version.c exists at all.
options.c did this for the user agent, which contains the version
number. Because not including version.h means you can't build the user
agent and use it in mp_default_opts anymore, do something rather awkward
in main.c to initialize the default user agent.
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.
This is pretty nasty, because FFmpeg/Libav is yet another library with a
global message callback. We do something with mutexes trying to get it
done, but of course we can't actually solve this problem. If more than
one library in a process use FFmpeg/Libav, only one of them will get log
messages.
Always pass around mp_log contexts in the option parser code. This of
course affects all users of this API as well.
In stream.c, pass a mp_null_log, because we can't do it properly yet.
This will be fixed later.
The mp_select_decoders() function doesn't have a log context (and I
don't want to give it one), so get rid of the mp_msg error message by
enhancing the semantics such that the syntax error is replaced by a new
feature. Now doing "--ad=something" will enable all decoders in the
"something" module, same as "--ad=something:*". Pretty useless, but gets
rid of the annoyance.
I don't know under which circumstances this can error (other than a
broken format string). It seems it won't return an error code on I/O
errors, so maybe broken format strings are the only case. Either way,
don't continue if an error is returned.
We have certain race conditions coming from doing multiple fprintf()
calls (setting up colors etc.). I'm not sure whether it would be worth
changing to code such that we do only one fprintf() call (and assume
this synchronizes access), but considering it would be hard to do
(Windows compatibility, ...), and that stdio uses per FILE locks anyway,
this is simpler and probably not less efficient. Also, there's no
problem handling the weird statusline special case this way.
Note that mp_msg_* calls which are silent won't acquire the lock, and
acquiring the lock happens on actual output only (which is slow and
serialized anyway).
Basically, reimplement --msglevel. Instead of making the new msg code
use the legacy code, make the legacy code use the reimplemented
functionality.
The handling of the deprecated --identify switch changes. It temporarily
stops working; this will be fixed in later commits.
The actual sub-options syntax (like --msglevel-vo=...) goes away, but I
bet nobody knew about this or used this anyway.
Instead of making msg.c an ifdef hell for unix vs. windows code, move
the code to separate functions defined in terminal-unix.c/terminal-
win.c.
Drop the code that selects random colors for --msgmodule prefixes.
This comes with a real change in behavior: now the signal handler is set
only when the terminal input code is active (e.g. not with
--no-consolecontrols), but this should be ok.
In my opinion, config.h inclusions should be kept to a minimum. MPlayer
code really liked including config.h everywhere, though, even in often
used header files. Try to reduce this.
