One can now set the number of buffers and the buffer size.
This can reduce the CPU usage and the total latency stays mostly the same.
As there are sync mechanisms the A/V sync continue intact and working.
It also modifies 6.1 channel order, as per OpenAL spec
and add AOPLAY_FINAL_CHUNK support
OpenAL Soft's AL_SOFT_source_latency extension allows one to correctly
get the device output latency, facilitating the syncronization with
video.
Also added a simpler generic fallback that does not take into account
latency of the device.
Uses OpenAL Soft's AL_DIRECT_CHANNELS_SOFT extension and can be controlled through
a new CLI option, --openal-direct-channels.
This allows one to send the audio data direrctly to the desired channel without
effects applied.
The af_get_best_sample_formats() function had an argument of
int[AF_FORMAT_COUNT], which is slightly incorrect, because it's 0
terminated and should in theory have AF_FORMAT_COUNT+1 entries. It won't
actually write this many formats (since some formats are fundamentally
incompatible), but it still feels annoying and incorrect. So fix it, and
require that callers pass an AF_FORMAT_COUNT+1 array.
Note that the array size has no meaning in C function arguments (just
another issue with C static arrays being weird and stupid), so get rid
of it completely.
Not changing the af_lavcac3enc use, since that is rewritten in another
branch anyway.
Before this change, AOs could have internal alignment, and play() would
not consume the trailing data if the size passed to it is not aligned.
Change this to require AOs to report their alignment (via period_size),
and make sure to always send aligned data.
The buffer reported by get_space() now always has to be correct and
reliable. If play() does not consume all data provided (which is bounded
by get_space()), an error is printed.
This is preparation for potential further AO changes.
I casually checked alsa/lavc/null/pcm, the other AOs might or might not
work.
Long planned. Leads to some sanity.
There still are some rather gross things. Especially g_groups is ugly,
and a hack that can hopefully be removed. (There is a plan for it, but
whether it's implemented depends on how much energy is left.)
There were multiple values under M_OPT_EXIT (M_OPT_EXIT-n for n>=0).
Somehow M_OPT_EXIT-n either meant error code n (with n==0 no error?), or
the number of option valus consumed (0 or 1). The latter is MPlayer
legacy, which left it to the option type parsers to determine whether an
option took a value or not. All of this was changed in mpv, by requiring
the user to use explicit syntax ("--opt=val" instead of "-opt val").
In any case, the n value wasn't even used (anymore), so rip this all
out. Now M_OPT_EXIT-1 doesn't mean anything, and could be used by a new
error code.
Remove the unnecessary indirection through ao fields.
Also fix the inverted result of AOCONTROL_HAS_TEMP_VOLUME. Hopefully the
change is equivalent. But actually, it looks like the old code did it
wrong.
Until now, this was always conflated with uninit. This was ugly, and
also many AOs emulated this manually (or just ignored it). Make draining
an explicit operation, so AOs which support it can provide it, and for
all others generic code will emulate it.
For ao_wasapi, we keep it simple and basically disable the internal
draining implementation (maybe it should be restored later).
Tested on Linux only.
We want to move the AO to its own thread. There's no technical reason
for making the ao struct opaque to do this. But it helps us sleep at
night, because we can control access to shared state better.
Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
Since ao_openal simulates multi-channel audio by placing a bunch of
mono-sources in 3D space, non-interleaved audio is a perfect match for
it. We just have to remove the interleaving code.
This comes with two internal AO API changes:
1. ao_driver.play now can take non-interleaved audio. For this purpose,
the data pointer is changed to void **data, where data[0] corresponds to
the pointer in the old API. Also, the len argument as well as the return
value are now in samples, not bytes. "Sample" in this context means the
unit of the smallest possible audio frame, i.e. sample_size * channels.
2. ao_driver.get_space now returns samples instead of bytes. (Similar to
the play function.)
Change all AOs to use the new API.
The AO API as exposed to the rest of the player still uses the old API.
It's emulated in ao.c. This is purely to split the commits changing all
AOs and the commits adding actual support for outputting N-I audio.
Use the new MP_ macros for some AOs instead of mp_msg.
Not all AOs are converted, and some only partially. In some cases, some
additional cosmetic changes are made.
The core didn't use these fields, and use of them was inconsistent
accross AOs. Some didn't use them at all. Some only set them; the values
were completely unused by the core. Some made full use of them.
Remove these fields. In places where they are still needed, make them
private AO state.
Remove the --abs option. It set the buffer size for ao_oss and ao_dsound
(being ignored by all other AOs), and was already marked as obsolete. If
it turns out that it's still needed for ao_oss or ao_dsound, their
default buffer sizes could be adjusted, and if even that doesn't help,
AO suboptions could be added in these cases.
Some still do, because they use the value in other places of the init
function. ao_portaudio is tricky and reads ao->bps in the stream
thread, which might be started on initialization (not sure about that,
but better safe than sorry).
Make all AOs use what has been introduced in the previous commit.
Note that even AOs which can handle all possible layouts (like ao_null)
use the new functions. This might be important if in the future
ao_select_champ() possibly honors global user options about downmixing
and so on.
Now mpv's channel map is used to map each channel to a speaker. This
allows in theory for playback of any layout for which ao_openal
actually has a speaker defined. Also add the back-center (BC) speaker,
which allows playback of 6.0 audio. Enabling more layouts by adding
other speakers would be possible, but I'm not sure about the speaker
positions.
This actually breaks audio for 5/6/8 channels. There's no reordering
done yet. The actual reordering will be done inside of af_lavrresample
and has to be made part of the format negotiation.
Finish renaming directories and moving files. Adjust all include
statements to make the previous commit compile.
The two commits are separate, because git is bad at tracking renames
and content changes at the same time.
Also take this as an opportunity to remove the separation between
"common" and "mplayer" sources in the Makefile. ("common" used to be
shared between mplayer and mencoder.)
Tis drops the silly lib prefixes, and attempts to organize the tree in
a more logical way. Make the top-level directory less cluttered as
well.
Renames the following directories:
libaf -> audio/filter
libao2 -> audio/out
libvo -> video/out
libmpdemux -> demux
Split libmpcodecs:
vf* -> video/filter
vd*, dec_video.* -> video/decode
mp_image*, img_format*, ... -> video/
ad*, dec_audio.* -> audio/decode
libaf/format.* is moved to audio/ - this is similar to how mp_image.*
is located in video/.
Move most top-level .c/.h files to core. (talloc.c/.h is left on top-
level, because it's external.) Park some of the more annoying files
in compat/. Some of these are relicts from the time mplayer used
ffmpeg internals.
sub/ is not split, because it's too much of a mess (subtitle code is
mixed with OSD display and rendering).
Maybe the organization of core is not ideal: it mixes playback core
(like mplayer.c) and utility helpers (like bstr.c/h). Should the need
arise, the playback core will be moved somewhere else, while core
contains all helper and common code.
