wm4 b01e8d6210 stream: report chapter times, use time seeks for DVD chapters
Allow the stream layer to report chapter times. Extend stream_dvd to do
this. I'm not 100% sure whether the re-used code is bug-free (because it
was used for slave-mode and/or debugging only).

MAke the frontend do time-based seeks when switching DVD chapters. I'm
not sure if there's a real reason STREAM_CTRL_SEEK_TO_CHAPTER exists
(maybe/hopefully not), but we will see.

Note that querying chapter times in demuxer_chapter_time() with the new
STREAM_CTRL_GET_CHAPTER_TIME could be excessively slow, especially with
the cache enabled. The frontend likes to query chapter times very often.
Additionally, stream_dvd uses some sort of quadratic algorithm to list
times for all chapters. For this reason, we try to query all chapters on
start (after the demuxer is opened), and add the chapters to the demuxer
chapter list. demuxer_chapter_time() will get the time from that list,
instead of asking the stream layer over and over again.

This assumes stream_dvd knows the list of chapters at the start, and
also  that the list of chapters never changes during playback. This
seems to be true, and the only exception, switching DVD titles, is not
supported at runtime (and doesn't need to be supported).

mpv
###

Overview
========

**mpv** is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide
variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.

If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read
more about the changes_.

Compilation
===========

Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of ``./configure --help`` for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
``./configure``. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file ``config.log`` may contain
information about the reasons for the failure.

Essential dependencies (incomplete list):

- gcc or clang
- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
- libjpeg
- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
- libx264 if you want to use encoding (has to be explicitly enabled when
  compiling ffmpeg)

Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build_) that first compiles FFmpeg
libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against
those.

If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide homebrew-mpv_, an up
to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for
OSX.

Bug reports
===========

Please use the `issues tracker`_ provided by GitHub to send us bug reports or
feature requests.

Contributing
============

For small changes you can just send us pull requests through GitHub. For bigger
changes come and talk to us on IRC before you start working on them. It will
make code review easier for both parties later on.

Contacts
