OSD cycling attempted to remove the current message by setting an empty
message with duration 0. Duration 0 tripped up a corner case causing no
OSD to be displayed (until the next message was set), so exclude this
explicitly.
Each subsystem (or similar thing) had an INITIALIZED_ flag assigned. The
main use of this was that you could pass a bitmask of these flags to
uninit_player(). Except in some situations where you wanted to
uninitialize nearly everything, this wasn't really useful. Moreover, it
was quite annoying that subsystems had most of the code in a specific
file, but the uninit code in loadfile.c (because that's where
uninit_player() was implemented).
Simplify all this. Remove the flags; e.g. instead of testing for the
INITIALIZED_AO flag, test whether mpctx->ao is set. Move uninit code
to separate functions, e.g. uninit_audio_out().
This warning makes absolutely no sense. Passing an empty string to
printf-like functions is perfectly fine. In the OSD case, it just sets
an empty message, practically clearing the OSD.
set_osd_bar_chapters() always cleared the OSD bar stops, even if the
current bar was not the seek bar. Obviously it should leave the state of
the bar alone in this case.
Also change the function control flow so that we can drop one
indentation level, and do the equivalent change for the other OSD bar
functions.
Eliminate the remains of the OSD message stack. Another simplification
comes from the fact that we do not need to care about time going
backwards (we always use a monotonic time source, and wrapping time
values are practically impossible). What this code was pretty trivial,
and by now unnecessarily roundabout.
Merge get_osd_msg() into update_osd_msg(), and add_osd_msg() into
set_osd_msg_va().
There's no need to update OSD messages and the terminal status if nobody
is going to see it. Since the player doesn't block on video display
anymore, this update happens to often and probably burns slightly more
CPU than necessary. (OSD redrawing is handled separately, so it's just
mostly useless text processing and such.)
Change it so that it's updated only on every video frame or all 50ms
(whatever comes first).
For VO OSD, we could in theory try to lock to the OSD redraw heuristic
or the display refresh rate, but that's more complicated and doesn't
work for the terminal status.
Probably not many user-visible changes. One notable change is that the
terminal OSD code for OSD bar fallback handling is removed with no
replacement. Instead, terminal OSD gets the same text message as normal
OSD. For volume, this is ok, because the text message is reasonable.
Other properties will look worse, but could be adjusted, and there are
in fact no other such properties that would be useful in audio-only
mode.
The fallback message for seeking falls away as well, but that message
was useless anyway - the terminal status line provides all information
anyway.
I believe the show_property_osd() code is now much easier to follow.
Follow up to previous commit.
This is probably confusing from a user point of view, since this field
shouldn't show up normally anymore. (Before this commit, it could show
up sporadically when a slow operation was performed during playback,
such as switching fullscreen.)
Until now, you could override only level 3 with --osd-status-msg. Extend
this, add add --osd-msg1 to --osd-msg3 (one for each OSD level). OSD
level 0 always means disable OSD, so that isn't included.
--osd-msg3 corresponds to --osd-status-msg, but they're not exactly the
same. To allow more customization, --osd-msgN do not include the OSD
symbol. The symbol can be manually added with "${osd-sym-cc}". We keep
the "old" option for some short-term compatibility.
--osd-msg1 should be particularly useful; for example you could do:
--osd-msg1='${?pause==yes:${osd-sym-cc}}'
to display a "paused" symbol when paused, and nothing during normal
playback. (Although admittedly, the syntax is quite a bit of work.)
The cache percentage was useless. It showed how much of the total stream
cache was in use, but since the cache size is something huge and
unrelated to the bitrate or network speed, the information content of
the percentage was rather low.
Replace this with printing the duration of the demuxer-cached data, and
the size of the stream cache in KB.
I'm not completely sure about the formatting; suggestions are welcome.
Note that it's not easy to know how much playback time the stream cache
covers, so it's always in bytes.
After a new file is loaded, playback never starts instantly. Rather, it
takes some playloop iterations until initial audio and video have been
decoded, and the outputs have been (lazily) initialized. This means you
will get status line updates between the messages that inform of the
initialized outputs. This is a bit annoying and clutters the terminal
output needlessly.
Fix this by never printing the status line before playback isn't fully
initialized. Do this by reusing the --term-playing-msg code (which
prints a message once playback is initialized). This also makes sure the
status line _is_ shown during playback restart when doing seeks.
It's possible that the change will make the output more confusing if for
some reason is stuck forever initializing playback, but that seems like
an obscure corner case that never happens, so forget about it.
print_status() is called at a later point anyway (and before sleeping),
so this code has little effect. This code was added in commit a4f7a3df5,
and I can't observe any problems with idle mode anymore.
Now print_status() is called from a single place only, within osd.c.
This mostly uses the same idea as with vo_vdpau.c, but much simplified.
On X11, it tries to get the display framerate with XF86VM, and limits
the frequency of new video frames against it. Note that this is an old
extension, and is confirmed not to work correctly with multi-monitor
setups. But we're using it because it was already around (it is also
used by vo_vdpau).
This attempts to predict the next vsync event by using the time of the
last frame and the display FPS. Even if that goes completely wrong,
the results are still relatively good.
On other systems, or if the X11 code doesn't return a display FPS, a
framerate of 1000 is assumed. This is infinite for all practical
purposes, and means that only frames which are definitely too late are
dropped. This probably has worse results, but is still useful.
"--framedrop=yes" is basically replaced with "--framedrop=decoder". The
old framedropping mode is kept around, and should perhaps be improved.
Dropping on the decoder level is still useful if decoding itself is too
slow.
This is delayed by 300ms - before that, the status doesn't change. I
feel like it would too annoying if the status line would "flicker" on
normal seek by quickly showing and hiding the indicator.
Mouse cursor handling, --heartbeat-cmd, and OSD messages basically
relied on polling. For this reason, the playloop always used a small
timeout (not more than 500ms).
Fix these cases, and raise the timeout to 100 seconds. There is no
reason behind this number; for this specific purpose it's as close to
infinity as any other number.
On MS Windows, or if vo_sdl is used, the timeout remains very small.
In these cases the GUI code doesn't do proper event handling in the
first place, and fixing it requires much more effort.
getch2_poll() still does polling, because as far as I'm aware no event-
based way to detect this state change exists.
Basically a cheap hack to fix that the --msgmodule prefix will cause an
unwanted linebreak by making the line too long.

M_OPT_PARSE_ESCAPES was pretty stupid, and broke the (useful) assumption
that string variables contain exactly the same value as set by the
option. Simplify it, and move escape handling to the place where it's
used.
Escape handling itself is not terribly useful, but still allows useful
things like multiline custom OSD with "\n".
Do two things:
1. add locking to struct osd_state
2. make struct osd_state opaque
While 1. is somewhat simple, 2. is quite horrible. Lots of code accesses
lots of osd_state (and osd_object) members. To make sure everything is
accessed synchronously, I prefer making osd_state opaque, even if it
means adding pretty dumb accessors.
All of this is meant to allow running VO in their own threads.
Eventually, VOs will request OSD on their own, which means osd_state
will be accessed from foreign threads.
These were needed before the last commit, but now they don't do anything
anymore. (They were used to decide whether to replace or stack the
previous OSD message when a new one was displayed.)
If certain OSD messages were displayed at the same time, the hidden
messages were put on the stack, and displayed again once the higher
priority messages disappeared. The idea was probably that lower priority
messages could not hide higher priority ones, and also that the lower
messages did not get lost.
But in practice, this gives confusing results with OSD messages randomly
reappearing for a brief time. Remove it.
Showing subtitles on terminal used the OSD message stack (which uses a
stack to "pile up" messages that were displayed at the same time). This
had a bunch of weird and annoying consequences. This accessed a certain
osd_state field, which is a minor annoyance since I want to make that
struct opaque. Implement this differently.
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.
Seeking usually show the status on OSD. In terminal OSD mode, no status
is shown, because there is already a separate status line.
Unfortunately, the mechanism for showing the status was still active,
which forced showing no message while the code for showing seek status
was active.
This was inconsistent: the actual statusline used [statusline] as
message prefix, while other parts of the terminal OSD used [cplayer]
(and MSGL_STATUS). This commit makes it consistent.
This is relatively hacky, but it's Christmas, so it's ok. This does two
things: 1. allow selecting two subtitle tracks, and 2. include a hack
that renders the second subtitle always as toptitle. See manpage
additions how to use this.
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.
