Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which this commit does. All in all, solution A would be preferable, because it's cleaner and works for all external streams in general. Some previous commit tried to prepare for implementing solution A. This could still happen. But it could take years until this is finally seriously started and finished. In any case, this commit doesn't block or complicate such attempts, which is also why it's the way to go. It's worth mentioning that original mplayer handles external files by creating a wrapper demuxer. This is like a less ideal mixture of A. and D. (The similarity with A. is that extending the mplayer approach to be fully dynamic and without certain disadvantages caused by the wrapper would end up with A. anyway. The similarity with D. is that due to the wrapper, no higher level code needs to be changed.)

Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better.

struct virtual_source {
demux_edl, cue, mkv: clean up timeline stuff slightly Remove the singly linked list hack, replace it with a slightly more proper data structure. This probably gets rid of a few minor bugs along the way, caused by the awkward nonsensical sharing/duplication of some fields. Another change (because I'm touching everything related to timeline anyway) is that I'm removing the special semantics for parts[num_parts]. This is now strictly out of bounds, and instead of using the start time of the next/beyond-last part, there is an end time field now. Unfortunately, this also requires touching the code for cue and mkv ordered chapters. From some superficial testing, they still seem to mostly work. One observable change is that the "no_chapters" header is per-stream now, which is arguably more correct, and getting the old behavior would require adding code to handle it as special-case, so just adjust ytdl_hook.lua to the new behavior.

demux_timeline: add heuristic to fix shifted seeks with separate audio If you have a EDL stream with separate sources for audio and video stream (like ytdl_hook now creates), you can get the problem that the video stream seeks to a different position than audio due to different key frame granularity. In particular, if you seek backward, the video might undershoot the seek target by a lot. Then video will resume from an earlier position than audio, and the player plays silence. This is annoying. Fix this by explicitly implementing a heuristic to detect separate audio/video streams, determining where a video seek ends up, and then seeking the audio stream to the video destination. This also makes sure to not seek audio with SEEK_FORWARD, so it will always seek before the video position. Non-precise seeks still skip audio to the video target, so this helps with ensuring that audio is present at the final seek target. The implementation is very annoying, because the only way to determine the seek target is to actually read a packet. Thus a 1-packet queue needs to be added. In theory, we could get the seek target from the index of the video file (especially if it's mp4), but libavformat does not have public API that exports this index, so we're stuck with this roundabout generic method. Note that this is only for non-precise seeks. If precise seeks are done, the problem is handled by the frontend by skipping unwanted video frames. But non-precise seeking should still work. (Personally I prefer non-precise seek mode by default because they're still significantly faster.) It also needs to be said that this is the 4th implementation of this seek adjustment thing in mpv. The 1st implementation is in the frontend (look for MPContext.seek_slave). This works only if the external audio stream is known as such on the frontend level. The 2nd implementation is in the demuxer level packet cache (top of execute_cache_seek()). This is similar to code that any demuxer needs to handle non-precise seeks sufficiently nicely. The 3rd is in demux_mkv.c. Since mkv is an interleaved format, this implementation mostly consists on trying to pick index entries for video packets if a video stream is selected. Maybe these "redundant" implementations could be avoided by exposing separate streams through the demuxer API (and making them individually seekable) or something like this, but this is messy and not without problems for multiple reasons. So for now this commit is the best way to fix the observed behavior.

demux_timeline: fix another cursed memory management issue The timeline stuff has messed up memory management because there are no clear ownership rules between a some demuxer instances (master or demux_timeline) and the timeline object itself. This is another subtle problem that happened: apparently, demux_timeline.open is supposed to take over ownership of timeline, but only on success. If it fails, it's not supposed to free it. It didn't follow this, which lead to a double-free if demux_timeline.open failed. The failure path in demux.c calls both timeline_destroy() and demux_timeline.close on failure.

This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which this commit does. All in all, solution A would be preferable, because it's cleaner and works for all external streams in general. Some previous commit tried to prepare for implementing solution A. This could still happen. But it could take years until this is finally seriously started and finished. In any case, this commit doesn't block or complicate such attempts, which is also why it's the way to go. It's worth mentioning that original mplayer handles external files by creating a wrapper demuxer. This is like a less ideal mixture of A. and D. (The similarity with A. is that extending the mplayer approach to be fully dynamic and without certain disadvantages caused by the wrapper would end up with A. anyway. The similarity with D. is that due to the wrapper, no higher level code needs to be changed.)

Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.

demux_timeline: report network speed of slave connections demux_timeline doesn't do any transport accesses itself. The slave demuxers do this (these will actually access the stream layer and perform e.g. network accesses). As a consequence, demux_timeline always reported 0 bytes read, and network speed display didn't work. Fix this by awkwardly reporting the amount of read bytes upwards. This is not very nice, and requires explicit calls whenever the slave "might" have read data. Due to the way the reporting is done, it only works if the slaves do not run demuxer threads, which makes things even less nice. (Fortunately they don't anyway, because it would be a waste of resources.) Some identifiers contain the word "hack" as a warning. Some of the stupidity comes from the fact that demux.c itself resets the stats randomly in order to calculate the bytes_per_second value, which is useless for a slave, but of course is still done, because demux.c itself is not aware of whether it's on the slave or top-level layer. Unfortunately, this must do. In theory, the demuxer thread/cache layer should be separated from demuxer implementations. This would get rid of all the awkwardness and nonsense. For example, the only threading involved would be the caching layer, completely separate from demuxers themselves. It'd be the only thing calculates speed rates for the player frontend, too (instead of doing it for each demuxer, even if unused).

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4.

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which this commit does. All in all, solution A would be preferable, because it's cleaner and works for all external streams in general. Some previous commit tried to prepare for implementing solution A. This could still happen. But it could take years until this is finally seriously started and finished. In any case, this commit doesn't block or complicate such attempts, which is also why it's the way to go. It's worth mentioning that original mplayer handles external files by creating a wrapper demuxer. This is like a less ideal mixture of A. and D. (The similarity with A. is that extending the mplayer approach to be fully dynamic and without certain disadvantages caused by the wrapper would end up with A. anyway. The similarity with D. is that due to the wrapper, no higher level code needs to be changed.)

// Matching by demuxer ID is supposedly useful and preferable for
// ordered chapters.
demux: do not make up demuxer_id The demuxer_id (exported in as "src-id" property) is supposed to be the native stream ID, as it exists in the file, or -1 if that does not exist (actually any negative value), or if it is unknown. Until now, an ID was made up if it was missing. That seems like strange non-sense, and I can't find the reason why it was done. But it was probably for convenience by the EDL stuff or so. Stop doing this. Fortunately, the src-id property was documented as being unavailable if the ID is not known. Even the code for this was present, it was just inactive until now. Extend input.rst with some explanations. Also fixing 3 other places where negative demuxer_id was ignored or avoided.

demux_timeline: report network speed of slave connections demux_timeline doesn't do any transport accesses itself. The slave demuxers do this (these will actually access the stream layer and perform e.g. network accesses). As a consequence, demux_timeline always reported 0 bytes read, and network speed display didn't work. Fix this by awkwardly reporting the amount of read bytes upwards. This is not very nice, and requires explicit calls whenever the slave "might" have read data. Due to the way the reporting is done, it only works if the slaves do not run demuxer threads, which makes things even less nice. (Fortunately they don't anyway, because it would be a waste of resources.) Some identifiers contain the word "hack" as a warning. Some of the stupidity comes from the fact that demux.c itself resets the stats randomly in order to calculate the bytes_per_second value, which is useless for a slave, but of course is still done, because demux.c itself is not aware of whether it's on the slave or top-level layer. Unfortunately, this must do. In theory, the demuxer thread/cache layer should be separated from demuxer implementations. This would get rid of all the awkwardness and nonsense. For example, the only threading involved would be the caching layer, completely separate from demuxers themselves. It'd be the only thing calculates speed rates for the player frontend, too (instead of doing it for each demuxer, even if unused).

demux_timeline: add heuristic to fix shifted seeks with separate audio If you have a EDL stream with separate sources for audio and video stream (like ytdl_hook now creates), you can get the problem that the video stream seeks to a different position than audio due to different key frame granularity. In particular, if you seek backward, the video might undershoot the seek target by a lot. Then video will resume from an earlier position than audio, and the player plays silence. This is annoying. Fix this by explicitly implementing a heuristic to detect separate audio/video streams, determining where a video seek ends up, and then seeking the audio stream to the video destination. This also makes sure to not seek audio with SEEK_FORWARD, so it will always seek before the video position. Non-precise seeks still skip audio to the video target, so this helps with ensuring that audio is present at the final seek target. The implementation is very annoying, because the only way to determine the seek target is to actually read a packet. Thus a 1-packet queue needs to be added. In theory, we could get the seek target from the index of the video file (especially if it's mp4), but libavformat does not have public API that exports this index, so we're stuck with this roundabout generic method. Note that this is only for non-precise seeks. If precise seeks are done, the problem is handled by the frontend by skipping unwanted video frames. But non-precise seeking should still work. (Personally I prefer non-precise seek mode by default because they're still significantly faster.) It also needs to be said that this is the 4th implementation of this seek adjustment thing in mpv. The 1st implementation is in the frontend (look for MPContext.seek_slave). This works only if the external audio stream is known as such on the frontend level. The 2nd implementation is in the demuxer level packet cache (top of execute_cache_seek()). This is similar to code that any demuxer needs to handle non-precise seeks sufficiently nicely. The 3rd is in demux_mkv.c. Since mkv is an interleaved format, this implementation mostly consists on trying to pick index entries for video packets if a video stream is selected. Maybe these "redundant" implementations could be avoided by exposing separate streams through the demuxer API (and making them individually seekable) or something like this, but this is messy and not without problems for multiple reasons. So for now this commit is the best way to fix the observed behavior.

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A.

Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which this commit does. All in all, solution A would be preferable, because it's cleaner and works for all external streams in general. Some previous commit tried to prepare for implementing solution A. This could still happen. But it could take years until this is finally seriously started and finished. In any case, this commit doesn't block or complicate such attempts, which is also why it's the way to go. It's worth mentioning that original mplayer handles external files by creating a wrapper demuxer. This is like a less ideal mixture of A. and D. (The similarity with A. is that extending the mplayer approach to be fully dynamic and without certain disadvantages caused by the wrapper would end up with A. anyway. The similarity with D. is that due to the wrapper, no higher level code needs to be changed.)

edl: add mechanism for delay loading streams Add something that will access an URL embedded in EDL only when the track it corresponds to is actually selected. This is meant to help with ytdl_hook.lua and to improve loading speeds. In theory, all this stuff is available to any mpv user, but discourage using it, as it's so specialized towards ytdl_hook.lua, that there's danger we'll just break this once ytdl_hook.lua stops using it, or similar. Mostly untested.

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

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily.

MP_ERR(demuxer, "failed to load segment\n");
demux: refactor cache range init/deinit Remove the duplicated creation of the first range. Explicitly destroy ranges, including the last one on final deinit. It looks like this also fixes a leak of removed range structs, which was never noticed because they're so small, and were freed on final deinit due to having the demuxer as talloc parent. This improves upon the previous commit too (that change should have been part of it I guess). Sub-demuxers (demux_timeline only) now automatically don't use the cache (like it was intended by the previous commit). The cache is "initialized" (or disabled) last in the recursive call chain, which is messy, but this sub demuxer stuff FUCKING SUCKS, as mentioned in the previous commit message. This would be no problem if the caching layer and actual demuxer implementations were separate. Most of this change has no purpose. Might make (de-)initialization of further cache exerpiments simpler.

demux_timeline: report network speed of slave connections demux_timeline doesn't do any transport accesses itself. The slave demuxers do this (these will actually access the stream layer and perform e.g. network accesses). As a consequence, demux_timeline always reported 0 bytes read, and network speed display didn't work. Fix this by awkwardly reporting the amount of read bytes upwards. This is not very nice, and requires explicit calls whenever the slave "might" have read data. Due to the way the reporting is done, it only works if the slaves do not run demuxer threads, which makes things even less nice. (Fortunately they don't anyway, because it would be a waste of resources.) Some identifiers contain the word "hack" as a warning. Some of the stupidity comes from the fact that demux.c itself resets the stats randomly in order to calculate the bytes_per_second value, which is useless for a slave, but of course is still done, because demux.c itself is not aware of whether it's on the slave or top-level layer. Unfortunately, this must do. In theory, the demuxer thread/cache layer should be separated from demuxer implementations. This would get rid of all the awkwardness and nonsense. For example, the only threading involved would be the caching layer, completely separate from demuxers themselves. It'd be the only thing calculates speed rates for the player frontend, too (instead of doing it for each demuxer, even if unused).

struct segment *new, double start_pts, int flags,

Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.

Also fix that SEEK_FORWARD was not correctly unset in try_seek_cache(). In demux_mkv_seek(), make the arbitrary decision that a video stream is not required for the subtitle prefetch logic to be active. We might want subtitles with long duration even with audio only playback, or if the file is used as external subtitle.

Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4.

demux_timeline: fix bad EOF reporting Exposed by commit b56e2efd5f3d. demux_timeline reported a bogus EOF if "parallel" streams were used. If a virtual source reported EOF, it was propagated as global EOF, without serving packets of other virtual sources that have not ended yet. Fix this by not reporting global EOF just because a source has not returned a packet. Instead make the reader retry by returning no packet and no EOF state, which will call d_read_packet() again with a different source. Rely on the eof_reached flags to signal global EOF. Since eof_reached is now more important, set it in a certain other case when it apparently should have been set. do_read_next_packet()'s return value is now ignored, so get rid of it.

demux_timeline: add heuristic to fix shifted seeks with separate audio If you have a EDL stream with separate sources for audio and video stream (like ytdl_hook now creates), you can get the problem that the video stream seeks to a different position than audio due to different key frame granularity. In particular, if you seek backward, the video might undershoot the seek target by a lot. Then video will resume from an earlier position than audio, and the player plays silence. This is annoying. Fix this by explicitly implementing a heuristic to detect separate audio/video streams, determining where a video seek ends up, and then seeking the audio stream to the video destination. This also makes sure to not seek audio with SEEK_FORWARD, so it will always seek before the video position. Non-precise seeks still skip audio to the video target, so this helps with ensuring that audio is present at the final seek target. The implementation is very annoying, because the only way to determine the seek target is to actually read a packet. Thus a 1-packet queue needs to be added. In theory, we could get the seek target from the index of the video file (especially if it's mp4), but libavformat does not have public API that exports this index, so we're stuck with this roundabout generic method. Note that this is only for non-precise seeks. If precise seeks are done, the problem is handled by the frontend by skipping unwanted video frames. But non-precise seeking should still work. (Personally I prefer non-precise seek mode by default because they're still significantly faster.) It also needs to be said that this is the 4th implementation of this seek adjustment thing in mpv. The 1st implementation is in the frontend (look for MPContext.seek_slave). This works only if the external audio stream is known as such on the frontend level. The 2nd implementation is in the demuxer level packet cache (top of execute_cache_seek()). This is similar to code that any demuxer needs to handle non-precise seeks sufficiently nicely. The 3rd is in demux_mkv.c. Since mkv is an interleaved format, this implementation mostly consists on trying to pick index entries for video packets if a video stream is selected. Maybe these "redundant" implementations could be avoided by exposing separate streams through the demuxer API (and making them individually seekable) or something like this, but this is messy and not without problems for multiple reasons. So for now this commit is the best way to fix the observed behavior.

This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which this commit does.

This could still happen. But it could take years until this is finally seriously started and finished. In any case, this commit doesn't block or complicate such attempts, which is also why it's the way to go. It's worth mentioning that original mplayer handles external files by creating a wrapper demuxer. This is like a less ideal mixture of A. and D. (The similarity with A. is that extending the mplayer approach to be fully dynamic and without certain disadvantages caused by the wrapper would end up with A. anyway. The similarity with D. is that due to the wrapper, no higher level code needs to be changed.)

Instead make the reader retry by returning no packet and no EOF state, which will call d_read_packet() again with a different source. Rely on the eof_reached flags to signal global EOF. Since eof_reached is now more important, set it in a certain other case when it apparently should have been set. do_read_next_packet()'s return value is now ignored, so get rid of it.

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which this commit does. All in all, solution A would be preferable, because it's cleaner and works for all external streams in general. Some previous commit tried to prepare for implementing solution A. This could still happen. But it could take years until this is finally seriously started and finished. In any case, this commit doesn't block or complicate such attempts, which is also why it's the way to go. It's worth mentioning that original mplayer handles external files by creating a wrapper demuxer. This is like a less ideal mixture of A. and D. (The similarity with A. is that extending the mplayer approach to be fully dynamic and without certain disadvantages caused by the wrapper would end up with A. anyway. The similarity with D. is that due to the wrapper, no higher level code needs to be changed.)

Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.

demux_timeline: report network speed of slave connections demux_timeline doesn't do any transport accesses itself. The slave demuxers do this (these will actually access the stream layer and perform e.g. network accesses). As a consequence, demux_timeline always reported 0 bytes read, and network speed display didn't work. Fix this by awkwardly reporting the amount of read bytes upwards. This is not very nice, and requires explicit calls whenever the slave "might" have read data. Due to the way the reporting is done, it only works if the slaves do not run demuxer threads, which makes things even less nice. (Fortunately they don't anyway, because it would be a waste of resources.) Some identifiers contain the word "hack" as a warning. Some of the stupidity comes from the fact that demux.c itself resets the stats randomly in order to calculate the bytes_per_second value, which is useless for a slave, but of course is still done, because demux.c itself is not aware of whether it's on the slave or top-level layer. Unfortunately, this must do. In theory, the demuxer thread/cache layer should be separated from demuxer implementations. This would get rid of all the awkwardness and nonsense. For example, the only threading involved would be the caching layer, completely separate from demuxers themselves. It'd be the only thing calculates speed rates for the player frontend, too (instead of doing it for each demuxer, even if unused).

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which this commit does. All in all, solution A would be preferable, because it's cleaner and works for all external streams in general. Some previous commit tried to prepare for implementing solution A. This could still happen. But it could take years until this is finally seriously started and finished. In any case, this commit doesn't block or complicate such attempts, which is also why it's the way to go. It's worth mentioning that original mplayer handles external files by creating a wrapper demuxer. This is like a less ideal mixture of A. and D. (The similarity with A. is that extending the mplayer approach to be fully dynamic and without certain disadvantages caused by the wrapper would end up with A. anyway. The similarity with D. is that due to the wrapper, no higher level code needs to be changed.)

Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.

Fix this by not reporting global EOF just because a source has not returned a packet.

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which this commit does. All in all, solution A would be preferable, because it's cleaner and works for all external streams in general. Some previous commit tried to prepare for implementing solution A.

Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.

demux_timeline: enable refresh seeks in some situations Play a trick to make the packet pos field monotonically increasing over segment boundaries if the source demuxers return monotonically increasing pos values. This allows the demuxer to uniquely identify packets with the pos field, and can do refresh seeks using that. Normally, the packet pos field is used as a fallback for determining the playback position if the demuxer returns no proper duration. But demux_timeline.c always will, and the packet pos fields usually make no sense in relation to the returned file size anyway if the timeline source demuxers originate from separate streams.

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which this commit does. All in all, solution A would be preferable, because it's cleaner and works for all external streams in general. Some previous commit tried to prepare for implementing solution A. This could still happen. But it could take years until this is finally seriously started and finished. In any case, this commit doesn't block or complicate such attempts, which is also why it's the way to go. It's worth mentioning that original mplayer handles external files by creating a wrapper demuxer. This is like a less ideal mixture of A. and D.

demux_timeline: add heuristic to fix shifted seeks with separate audio If you have a EDL stream with separate sources for audio and video stream (like ytdl_hook now creates), you can get the problem that the video stream seeks to a different position than audio due to different key frame granularity. In particular, if you seek backward, the video might undershoot the seek target by a lot. Then video will resume from an earlier position than audio, and the player plays silence. This is annoying. Fix this by explicitly implementing a heuristic to detect separate audio/video streams, determining where a video seek ends up, and then seeking the audio stream to the video destination. This also makes sure to not seek audio with SEEK_FORWARD, so it will always seek before the video position. Non-precise seeks still skip audio to the video target, so this helps with ensuring that audio is present at the final seek target. The implementation is very annoying, because the only way to determine the seek target is to actually read a packet. Thus a 1-packet queue needs to be added. In theory, we could get the seek target from the index of the video file (especially if it's mp4), but libavformat does not have public API that exports this index, so we're stuck with this roundabout generic method. Note that this is only for non-precise seeks. If precise seeks are done, the problem is handled by the frontend by skipping unwanted video frames. But non-precise seeking should still work. (Personally I prefer non-precise seek mode by default because they're still significantly faster.) It also needs to be said that this is the 4th implementation of this seek adjustment thing in mpv. The 1st implementation is in the frontend (look for MPContext.seek_slave). This works only if the external audio stream is known as such on the frontend level. The 2nd implementation is in the demuxer level packet cache (top of execute_cache_seek()). This is similar to code that any demuxer needs to handle non-precise seeks sufficiently nicely. The 3rd is in demux_mkv.c. Since mkv is an interleaved format, this implementation mostly consists on trying to pick index entries for video packets if a video stream is selected. Maybe these "redundant" implementations could be avoided by exposing separate streams through the demuxer API (and making them individually seekable) or something like this, but this is messy and not without problems for multiple reasons. So for now this commit is the best way to fix the observed behavior.

demux_timeline: fix bad EOF reporting Exposed by commit b56e2efd5f3d. demux_timeline reported a bogus EOF if "parallel" streams were used. If a virtual source reported EOF, it was propagated as global EOF, without serving packets of other virtual sources that have not ended yet. Fix this by not reporting global EOF just because a source has not returned a packet. Instead make the reader retry by returning no packet and no EOF state, which will call d_read_packet() again with a different source. Rely on the eof_reached flags to signal global EOF. Since eof_reached is now more important, set it in a certain other case when it apparently should have been set. do_read_next_packet()'s return value is now ignored, so get rid of it.

demux_edl, cue, mkv: clean up timeline stuff slightly Remove the singly linked list hack, replace it with a slightly more proper data structure. This probably gets rid of a few minor bugs along the way, caused by the awkward nonsensical sharing/duplication of some fields. Another change (because I'm touching everything related to timeline anyway) is that I'm removing the special semantics for parts[num_parts]. This is now strictly out of bounds, and instead of using the start time of the next/beyond-last part, there is an end time field now. Unfortunately, this also requires touching the code for cue and mkv ordered chapters. From some superficial testing, they still seem to mostly work. One observable change is that the "no_chapters" header is per-stream now, which is arguably more correct, and getting the old behavior would require adding code to handle it as special-case, so just adjust ytdl_hook.lua to the new behavior.

For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which this commit does. All in all, solution A would be preferable, because it's cleaner and works for all external streams in general. Some previous commit tried to prepare for implementing solution A. This could still happen. But it could take years until this is finally seriously started and finished. In any case, this commit doesn't block or complicate such attempts, which is also why it's the way to go. It's worth mentioning that original mplayer handles external files by creating a wrapper demuxer. This is like a less ideal mixture of A. and D. (The similarity with A. is that extending the mplayer approach to be fully dynamic and without certain disadvantages caused by the wrapper would end up with A. anyway. The similarity with D. is that due to the wrapper, no higher level code needs to be changed.)

Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.

demux_edl, cue, mkv: clean up timeline stuff slightly Remove the singly linked list hack, replace it with a slightly more proper data structure. This probably gets rid of a few minor bugs along the way, caused by the awkward nonsensical sharing/duplication of some fields. Another change (because I'm touching everything related to timeline anyway) is that I'm removing the special semantics for parts[num_parts]. This is now strictly out of bounds, and instead of using the start time of the next/beyond-last part, there is an end time field now. Unfortunately, this also requires touching the code for cue and mkv ordered chapters. From some superficial testing, they still seem to mostly work. One observable change is that the "no_chapters" header is per-stream now, which is arguably more correct, and getting the old behavior would require adding code to handle it as special-case, so just adjust ytdl_hook.lua to the new behavior.

player: add track-list/N/image sub-property This exposes whether a video track is detected as an image, which is useful for profile conditions, property expansion and lavfi-complex. The lavf demuxer sets image to true when the existing check detects an image. When the lavf demuxer fails, the mf one guesses if the file is an image by its extension, so sh->image is set to true when the mf demuxer succeds and there's only one file. The mkv demuxer just sets image to true for any attached picture. The timeline demuxer just copies the value of image from source to destination. This sets image to true for attached pictures, standalone images and images added with !new_stream in EDL playlists, but it is imperfect since you could concatenate multiple images in an EDL playlist (which should be done with the mf demuxer anyway). This is good enough anyway since the comment of the modified function already says it is "Imperfect and arbitrary".

edl: make it possible to delay-load files with multiple tracks Until now, delay-loading was for files with single tracks only (basically what DASH and HLS like to expose, so adaptive streaming and codec selection becomes easier - for sites, not for us). But they also provide some interleaved versions, probably for compatibility. Until now, we were forced to eagerly load it (making startup slightly slower). But there is not much missing. We just need a way to provide multiple metadata entries, and use them to represent each track. A side effect is now that the "track_meta" header can be used for normal EDL files too.

demux_edl, cue, mkv: clean up timeline stuff slightly Remove the singly linked list hack, replace it with a slightly more proper data structure. This probably gets rid of a few minor bugs along the way, caused by the awkward nonsensical sharing/duplication of some fields. Another change (because I'm touching everything related to timeline anyway) is that I'm removing the special semantics for parts[num_parts]. This is now strictly out of bounds, and instead of using the start time of the next/beyond-last part, there is an end time field now. Unfortunately, this also requires touching the code for cue and mkv ordered chapters. From some superficial testing, they still seem to mostly work. One observable change is that the "no_chapters" header is per-stream now, which is arguably more correct, and getting the old behavior would require adding code to handle it as special-case, so just adjust ytdl_hook.lua to the new behavior.

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets.

Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.

E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which this commit does. All in all, solution A would be preferable, because it's cleaner and works for all external streams in general. Some previous commit tried to prepare for implementing solution A. This could still happen. But it could take years until this is finally seriously started and finished. In any case, this commit doesn't block or complicate such attempts, which is also why it's the way to go. It's worth mentioning that original mplayer handles external files by creating a wrapper demuxer. This is like a less ideal mixture of A. and D. (The similarity with A. is that extending the mplayer approach to be fully dynamic and without certain disadvantages caused by the wrapper would end up with A. anyway. The similarity with D. is that due to the wrapper, no higher level code needs to be changed.)

Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily.

demux_timeline: disable pointless packet cache for sub-demuxers It seems like there's nothing stopping from sub-demuxers from keeping packets in the cache, even if it's completely pointless. The top-most demuxer (demux_timeline) already takes care of caching, so sub-demuxers only waste space and time with this. Add a function that can disable the packet cache even at runtime and after packets are read. (It's not clear whether it really can happen that packets are read before demux_timeline gets the sub-demuxers, but there's no reason to make it too fragile.) Call it on all sub-demuxers. For this to work, it seems we have to move the code for setting the seekable_cache flag to before demux_timeline is potentially initialized, because otherwise the cache would be reenabled if the demuxer triggering timeline support is a timeline segment itself (e.g. ordered chapters).

demux: propagate streaming flag through demux_timeline Before this commit, EDL or CUE files did not properly enable the cache if they were on "slow" media (stream->streaming==true). This happened because the stream is unset for demux_timeline, so the streaming flag could not be queried anymore. Fix this by adding this flag to struct demuxer, and propagate it exactly like the is_network flag. is_network is not used for checking the cache options anymore, and its main function seems to be something else. Normal http streams set the streaming flag already. This should fix #6958.

demux_edl, cue, mkv: clean up timeline stuff slightly Remove the singly linked list hack, replace it with a slightly more proper data structure. This probably gets rid of a few minor bugs along the way, caused by the awkward nonsensical sharing/duplication of some fields. Another change (because I'm touching everything related to timeline anyway) is that I'm removing the special semantics for parts[num_parts]. This is now strictly out of bounds, and instead of using the start time of the next/beyond-last part, there is an end time field now. Unfortunately, this also requires touching the code for cue and mkv ordered chapters. From some superficial testing, they still seem to mostly work. One observable change is that the "no_chapters" header is per-stream now, which is arguably more correct, and getting the old behavior would require adding code to handle it as special-case, so just adjust ytdl_hook.lua to the new behavior.

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4.

Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends.

It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work.

demux_edl, cue, mkv: clean up timeline stuff slightly Remove the singly linked list hack, replace it with a slightly more proper data structure. This probably gets rid of a few minor bugs along the way, caused by the awkward nonsensical sharing/duplication of some fields. Another change (because I'm touching everything related to timeline anyway) is that I'm removing the special semantics for parts[num_parts]. This is now strictly out of bounds, and instead of using the start time of the next/beyond-last part, there is an end time field now. Unfortunately, this also requires touching the code for cue and mkv ordered chapters. From some superficial testing, they still seem to mostly work. One observable change is that the "no_chapters" header is per-stream now, which is arguably more correct, and getting the old behavior would require adding code to handle it as special-case, so just adjust ytdl_hook.lua to the new behavior.

demux_timeline: add heuristic to fix shifted seeks with separate audio If you have a EDL stream with separate sources for audio and video stream (like ytdl_hook now creates), you can get the problem that the video stream seeks to a different position than audio due to different key frame granularity. In particular, if you seek backward, the video might undershoot the seek target by a lot. Then video will resume from an earlier position than audio, and the player plays silence. This is annoying. Fix this by explicitly implementing a heuristic to detect separate audio/video streams, determining where a video seek ends up, and then seeking the audio stream to the video destination. This also makes sure to not seek audio with SEEK_FORWARD, so it will always seek before the video position. Non-precise seeks still skip audio to the video target, so this helps with ensuring that audio is present at the final seek target. The implementation is very annoying, because the only way to determine the seek target is to actually read a packet. Thus a 1-packet queue needs to be added. In theory, we could get the seek target from the index of the video file (especially if it's mp4), but libavformat does not have public API that exports this index, so we're stuck with this roundabout generic method. Note that this is only for non-precise seeks. If precise seeks are done, the problem is handled by the frontend by skipping unwanted video frames. But non-precise seeking should still work. (Personally I prefer non-precise seek mode by default because they're still significantly faster.) It also needs to be said that this is the 4th implementation of this seek adjustment thing in mpv. The 1st implementation is in the frontend (look for MPContext.seek_slave). This works only if the external audio stream is known as such on the frontend level. The 2nd implementation is in the demuxer level packet cache (top of execute_cache_seek()). This is similar to code that any demuxer needs to handle non-precise seeks sufficiently nicely. The 3rd is in demux_mkv.c. Since mkv is an interleaved format, this implementation mostly consists on trying to pick index entries for video packets if a video stream is selected. Maybe these "redundant" implementations could be avoided by exposing separate streams through the demuxer API (and making them individually seekable) or something like this, but this is messy and not without problems for multiple reasons. So for now this commit is the best way to fix the observed behavior.

demux, demux_edl: add extension for tracks sourced from separate streams This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file. This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of separate streams. demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change. Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.) Background: The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams. The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately, mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has the following potential problems: 1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main" stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is actually not cached at the target position. 2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or playback. 3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important. So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if they have different bitrates. 4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary waste of system resources. In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works towards D): A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer. B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change, it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases, solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.) C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This fixes only problem 1. D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular, caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which this commit does. All in all, solution A would be preferable, because it's cleaner and works for all external streams in general. Some previous commit tried to prepare for implementing solution A. This could still happen. But it could take years until this is finally seriously started and finished. In any case, this commit doesn't block or complicate such attempts, which is also why it's the way to go. It's worth mentioning that original mplayer handles external files by creating a wrapper demuxer. This is like a less ideal mixture of A. and D. (The similarity with A. is that extending the mplayer approach to be fully dynamic and without certain disadvantages caused by the wrapper would end up with A. anyway. The similarity with D. is that due to the wrapper, no higher level code needs to be changed.)

demux_timeline: fix another cursed memory management issue The timeline stuff has messed up memory management because there are no clear ownership rules between a some demuxer instances (master or demux_timeline) and the timeline object itself. This is another subtle problem that happened: apparently, demux_timeline.open is supposed to take over ownership of timeline, but only on success. If it fails, it's not supposed to free it. It didn't follow this, which lead to a double-free if demux_timeline.open failed. The failure path in demux.c calls both timeline_destroy() and demux_timeline.close on failure.

Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuff This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.
