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.

Relicense some non-MPlayer source files to LGPL 2.1 or later 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.

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.

playlist: change from linked list to an array Although a linked list was ideal at first, there are cases where it sucks, and became increasingly awkward (with the mpv command API preferring integer indexes to access the list). In future, we probably want to add more playlist-related functionality, so better change it to an array now. An array isn't always ideal either. Since playlist entries are still separate objects (because in some cases you need a stable "iterator" to it), but you still need to efficiently get the next/previous playlist entry, there's a pl_index field, that needs to be maintained. E.g. adding an entry at the start of the playlist => update the pl_index field for all other entries. Well, it's not really worth to do something more complicated to avoid these things. This commit is probably buggy as shit. It's not like I bothered to test everything. That's _your_ role.

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.

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.

char *filename;
player: add playlist-path properties A bit of a long standing pain with scripting is that when opening a file that gets interpreted as a playlist (like an m3u), the original path of the file gets thrown away later. Workarounds basically consist of getting the filename before mpv expands the path, but that's not really reliable. Instead of throwing it away, save the original playlist path by copying to the playlist entries when applicable (demuxer playlist and the playlist option). Then expose these as properties: playlist-path for the currently playing entry and playlist/N/playlist-path for each specific entry. Closes #8508, #7605.

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.)

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.

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).

stream, demux: redo origin policy thing mpv has a very weak and very annoying policy that determines whether a playlist should be used or not. For example, if you play a remote playlist, you usually don't want it to be able to read local filesystem entries. (Although for a media player the impact is small I guess.) It's weak and annoying as in that it does not prevent certain cases which could be interpreted as bad in some cases, such as allowing playlists on the local filesystem to reference remote URLs. It probably barely makes sense, but we just want to exclude some other "definitely not a good idea" things, all while playlists generally just work, so whatever. The policy is: - from the command line anything is played - local playlists can reference anything except "unsafe" streams ("unsafe" means special stream inputs like libavfilter graphs) - remote playlists can reference only remote URLs - things like "memory://" and archives are "transparent" to this This commit does... something. It replaces the weird stream flags with a slightly clearer "origin" value, which is now consequently passed down and used everywhere. It fixes some deviations from the described policy. I wanted to force archives to reference only content within them, but this would probably have been more complicated (or required different abstractions), and I'm too lazy to figure it out, so archives are now "transparent" (playlists within archives behave the same outside). There may be a lot of bugs in this. This is unfortunately a very noisy commit because: - every stream open call now needs to pass the origin - so does every demuxer open call (=> params param. gets mandatory) - most stream were changed to provide the "origin" value - the origin value needed to be passed along in a lot of places - I was too lazy to split the commit Fixes: #7274

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.

playlist: change from linked list to an array Although a linked list was ideal at first, there are cases where it sucks, and became increasingly awkward (with the mpv command API preferring integer indexes to access the list). In future, we probably want to add more playlist-related functionality, so better change it to an array now. An array isn't always ideal either. Since playlist entries are still separate objects (because in some cases you need a stable "iterator" to it), but you still need to efficiently get the next/previous playlist entry, there's a pl_index field, that needs to be maintained. E.g. adding an entry at the start of the playlist => update the pl_index field for all other entries. Well, it's not really worth to do something more complicated to avoid these things. This commit is probably buggy as shit. It's not like I bothered to test everything. That's _your_ role.

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.

void playlist_add_file(struct playlist *pl, const char *filename);
player: add playlist-path properties A bit of a long standing pain with scripting is that when opening a file that gets interpreted as a playlist (like an m3u), the original path of the file gets thrown away later. Workarounds basically consist of getting the filename before mpv expands the path, but that's not really reliable. Instead of throwing it away, save the original playlist path by copying to the playlist entries when applicable (demuxer playlist and the playlist option). Then expose these as properties: playlist-path for the currently playing entry and playlist/N/playlist-path for each specific entry. Closes #8508, #7605.

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.

void playlist_add_base_path(struct playlist *pl, bstr base_path);
playlist: change from linked list to an array Although a linked list was ideal at first, there are cases where it sucks, and became increasingly awkward (with the mpv command API preferring integer indexes to access the list). In future, we probably want to add more playlist-related functionality, so better change it to an array now. An array isn't always ideal either. Since playlist entries are still separate objects (because in some cases you need a stable "iterator" to it), but you still need to efficiently get the next/previous playlist entry, there's a pl_index field, that needs to be maintained. E.g. adding an entry at the start of the playlist => update the pl_index field for all other entries. Well, it's not really worth to do something more complicated to avoid these things. This commit is probably buggy as shit. It's not like I bothered to test everything. That's _your_ role.

client API: report IDs of inserted playlist entries on loading playlist May or may not help when dealing with playlist loading in scripts. It's supposed to help with the mean fact that loading a recursive playlist will essentially edit the playlist behind the API user's back.

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.

command: make loadlist command async and abortable Don't allow it to freeze everything when loading a playlist from network (although you definitely shouldn't do that, but whatever). This also affects the really obscure --ordered-chapters-files option. The --playlist option on the other hand has no choice but to freeze the shit, because there's no concept of aborting the player during command line parsing.

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.

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).
