mplayer: turn playtree into a list, and change per-file option handling Summary: - There is no playtree anymore. It's reduced to a simple list. - Options are now always global. You can still have per-file options, but these are optional and require special syntax. - The slave command pt_step has been removed, and playlist_next and playlist_prev added. (See etc/input.conf changes.) This is a user visible incompatible change, and will break slave-mode applications. - The pt_clear slave command is renamed to playlist_clear. - Playtree entries could have multiple files. This is not the case anymore, and playlist entries have always exactly one entry. Whenever something adds more than one file (like ASX playlists or dvd:// or dvdnav:// on the command line), all files are added as separate playlist entries. Note that some of the changes are quite deep and violent. Expect regressions. The playlist parsing code in particular is of low quality. I didn't try to improve it, and merely spent to least effort necessary to keep it somehow working. (Especially ASX playlist handling.) The playtree code was complicated and bloated. It was also barely used. Most users don't even know that mplayer manages the playlist as tree, or how to use it. The most obscure features was probably specifying a tree on command line (with '{' and '}' to create/close tree nodes). It filled the player code with complexity and confused users with weird slave commands like pt_up. Replace the playtree with a simple flat playlist. Playlist parsers that actually return trees are changed to append all files to the playlist pre-order. It used to be the responsibility of the playtree code to change per-file config options. Now this is done by the player core, and the playlist code is free of such details. Options are not per-file by default anymore. This was a very obscure and complicated feature that confused even experienced users. Consider the following command line: mplayer file1.mkv file2.mkv --no-audio file3.mkv This will disable the audio for file2.mkv only, because options are per-file by default. To make the option affect all files, you're supposed to put it before the first file. This is bad, because normally you don't need per-file options. They are very rarely needed, and the only reasonable use cases I can imagine are use of the encode backend (mplayer encode branch), or for debugging. The normal use case is made harder, and the feature is perceived as bug. Even worse, correct usage is hard to explain for users. Make all options global by default. The position of an option isn't significant anymore (except for options that compensate each other, consider --shuffle --no-shuffle). One other important change is that no options are reset anymore if a new file is started. If you change settings with slave mode commands, they will not be changed by playing a new file. (Exceptions include settings that are too file specific, like audio/subtitle stream selection.) There is still some need for per-file options. Debugging and encoding are use cases that profit from per-file options. Per-file profiles (as well as per-protocol and per-VO/AO options) need the implementation related mechanisms to backup and restore options when the playback file changes. Simplify the save-slot stuff, which is possible because there is no hierarchical play tree anymore. Now there's a simple backup field. Add a way to specify per-file options on command line. Example: mplayer f1.mkv -o0 --{ -o1 f2.mkv -o2 f3.mkv --} f4.mkv -o3 will have the following options per file set: f1.mkv, f4.mkv: -o0 -o3 f2.mkv, f3.mkv: -o0 -o3 -o1 -o2 The options --{ and --} start and end per-file options. All files inside the { } will be affected by the options equally (similar to how global options and multiple files are handled). When playback of a file starts, the per-file options are set according to the command line. When playback ends, the per-file options are restored to the values when playback started.

Move compat/ and bstr/ directory contents somewhere else bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them. The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.

mplayer: attempt to skip playlist entries which can't be played This is for situations when repeated attempts at playing a playlist entry failed, and playlist navigation becomes impossible due to that. For example, it wasn't possible to skip backwards past an unplayable playlist entry: mpv file1.mkv doesntexist.mkv file3.mkv You couldn't skip back to file1.mkv from file3.mkv. When running a single "playlist_prev" command, doesntexist.mkv would be played, which would fail to load. As reaction to the failure to load it, the next file would be played, which is file3.mkv. To make this even worse, the file could successfully load, but run only for a split second. So just loading successfully isn't good enough. Attempt to solve this by marking problematic playlist entries as failed, and by having playlist_prev skip past such playlist entries. We define failure as not being able to play more than 3 seconds (or failing to initialize to begin with). (The 3 seconds are in real time, not file duration.) "playlist_prev force" still exhibits the old behavior. Additionally, use the same mechanism to prevent pointless infinite reloading if none of the files on the playlist exist. (See github issue All in all, this is a heuristic, and later adjustments might be necessary. Note: forward skips (playlist_next) are not affected at all. (Except for the interaction with --loop.)
2013-09-15 03:03:37 +00:00
// Set to true if playback didn't seem to work, or if the file could be
// played only for a very short time. This is used to make playlist
// navigation just work in case the user has unplayable files in the
// playlist.
mplayer: fix looping of very short files Commit 884c179 attempted to make it possible to skip backwards through the playlist, even for files which fail to intitialize, or play for a very short time. This was also used to prevent mpv from looping forever and doing nothing if --loop=inf is used, and no file in the playlist is playable. This broke looping of very short files, because mpv was assuming that this case happened. But there are legitimate use cases. Fix this by making the looping case special. Instead of checking whether playback was "very short", check whether something could be decoded and displayed/played. If yes, allow looping.
2013-09-29 19:10:36 +00:00
bool playback_short : 1;
// Set to true if not at least 1 frame (audio or video) could be played.
bool init_failed : 1;
player: deal with some corner cases with playlist navigation The purpose is making accessing the current playlist entry saner when commands are executed during initialization, termination, or after playlist navigation commands. For example, the "playlist_remove current" command will invalidate playlist->current - but some things still access the playlist entry even on uninit. Until now, checking stop_play implicitly took care of it, so it worked, but it was still messy. Introduce the mpctx->playing field, which points to the current playlist entry, even if the entry was removed and/or the playlist's current entry was moved (e.g. due to playlist navigation).
2014-09-08 22:38:38 +00:00
// Entry was removed with playlist_remove (etc.), but not deallocated.
bool removed : 1;
// Additional refcount. Normally (reserved==0), the entry is owned by the
// playlist, and this can be used to keep the entry alive.
int reserved;
player: don't allow remote playlists to load local files Because that might be a bad idea. Note that remote playlists still can use any protocol marked with is_safe and is_network, because the case of http-hosted playlists containing URLs using other streaming protocols is not unusual.
2014-08-31 22:12:47 +00:00
// Used to reject loading of unsafe entries from external playlists.

player: remove ASX, SMIL and NSC playlist parsers 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.

They are very rarely needed, and the only reasonable use cases I can imagine are use of the encode backend (mplayer encode branch), or for debugging. The normal use case is made harder, and the feature is perceived as bug. Even worse, correct usage is hard to explain for users. Make all options global by default. The position of an option isn't significant anymore (except for options that compensate each other, consider --shuffle --no-shuffle). One other important change is that no options are reset anymore if a new file is started. If you change settings with slave mode commands, they will not be changed by playing a new file. (Exceptions include settings that are too file specific, like audio/subtitle stream selection.) There is still some need for per-file options. Debugging and encoding are use cases that profit from per-file options. Per-file profiles (as well as per-protocol and per-VO/AO options) need the implementation related mechanisms to backup and restore options when the playback file changes. Simplify the save-slot stuff, which is possible because there is no hierarchical play tree anymore. Now there's a simple backup field. Add a way to specify per-file options on command line. Example: mplayer f1.mkv -o0 --{ -o1 f2.mkv -o2 f3.mkv --} f4.mkv -o3 will have the following options per file set: f1.mkv, f4.mkv: -o0 -o3 f2.mkv, f3.mkv: -o0 -o3 -o1 -o2 The options --{ and --} start and end per-file options. All files inside the { } will be affected by the options equally (similar to how global options and multiple files are handled). When playback of a file starts, the per-file options are set according to the command line. When playback ends, the per-file options are restored to the values when playback started.
