When e.g. converting SRT to ASS, we certainly don't want them stretched
by video aspect ratio, even if that's necessary for native ASS
subtitles.
Annoying weird details...
This mirrors commit "sub: remove check_duplicate_plaintext_event()".
That code was basically duplicated. In general, this code is still
needed when doing conversion during demuxing (mostly because you can
seek during demuxing, which will cause duplicate events by replaying).
This allows using some formats that were not supported until now, like
WebVTT.
We still prefer the internal subtitle reader (subreader.c), because
1. Libav, and 2. random things which we probably want to keep, such as
control over formatting, codepage stuff, or various mysterious
postprecessing done in that code.
This means subassconvert.c is split in sd_srt.c and sd_microdvd.c. Now
this code is involved in the sub conversion chain like sd_movtext is.
The invocation of the converter in sd_ass.c is removed.
This requires some other changes to make the new sub converter code work
with loading external subtitles. Until now, subtitles loaded via
subreader.c was assumed to be in plaintext, or for some formats, in ASS
(except in -no-ass mode). Then these were added to an ASS_Track. Change
this so that subtitles are always in their original format (as far as
decoders/converters for them are available), and turn every sub event
read by subreader.c as packet to the dec_sub.c subtitle chain.
This removes differences between external/demuxed and -ass/-no-ass code
paths further.
Add a basic infrastructure for subtitle converters. These converters
work sort-of like decoders, except that they produce packets instead
of subtitle bitmaps. They are put in front of actual decoders.
Start with sd_movtext. 4 lines of code are blown up to a 55 lines file,
but fortunately this is not going to be that bad for the following
converters.
Make the sub decoder stuff independent from sh_sub (except for
initialization of course). Sub decoders now access a struct sd only,
instead of getting access to sh_sub. The glue code in dec_sub.c is
similarily independent from osd.
Some simplifications are made. For example, the switch_id stuff is
unneeded: the frontend code just has to make sure to call osd_changed()
any time subtitles are switched.
This is also preparation for introducing subtitle converters. It's much
cleaner to completely separate demuxer header/renderer glue/decoders
for this purpose, especially since sub converters might completely
change how demuxer headers have to be interpreted.
Also pass data as demux_packets. Currently, this doesn't help much, but
libavcodec converters might need scary stuff like packet side data, so
it's perhaps better to go with passing packets.
This unifies the subtitle rendering path. Now all subtitle rendering
goes through sd_ass.c/sd_lavc.c/sd_spu.c.
Before that commit, the spudec.h functions were used directly in
mplayer.c, which introduced many special cases. Add sd_spu.c, which is
just a small wrapper connecting the new subtitle render API with the
dusty old vobsub decoder in spudec.c.
One detail that changes is that we always pass the palette as extra
data, instead of passing the libdvdread palette as pointer to spudec
directly. This is a bit roundabout, but actually makes the code simpler
and more elegant: the difference between DVD and non-DVD dvdsubs is
reduced.
Ideally, we would just delete spudec.c and use libavcodec's DVD sub
decoder. However, DVD playback with demux_mpg produces packets
incompatible to lavc. There are incompatibilities the other way around
as well: packets from libavformat's vobsub demuxer are incompatible to
spudec.c. So we define a new subtitle codec name for demux_mpg subs,
"dvd_subtitle_mpg", which only sd_spu can decode.
There is actually code in spudec.c to "assemble" fragments into complete
packets, but using the whole spudec.c is easier than trying to move this
code into demux_mpg to fix subtitle packets.
As additional complication, Libav 9.x can't decode DVD subs correctly,
so use sd_spu in that case as well.
The -no-ass switch used to disable any use of libass for text subtitles.
This is not really the case anymore, because libass is now always
involved when rendering text. The only remaining use of -no-ass is
disabling styling or showing subtitles on the terminal. On the other
hand, the old subtitle rendering path is a big reason why the subtitle
code is still a big mess with an awful number of obscure special cases.
In order to simplify it, remove the old subtitle rendering code, and
always go through sd_ass.c. Basically, we use ASS_Track as central data
structure for storing text subtitles instead of struct sub_data. This
also makes libass mandatory for all text subs, even if they are printed
to the terminal in -no-video mode. (We could add something like sd_text
to avoid this, but it's not worth the trouble.)
struct sub_data and subreader.c are still around, even its ASS/SSA
reader. But struct sub_data is freed right after converting it to
ASS_Track. The internal ASS reader actually can handle some obscure
cases libass can't, like files encoded in UTF-16.
Get rid of the 1-char subtitle type field. Use sh_stream->codec instead
just like audio and video do. Use codec names as defined by libavcodec
for simplicity, even if they're somewhat verbose and annoying.
Note that ffmpeg might switch to "ass" as codec name for ASS, so we
don't bother with the current silly "ssa" name.
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.)
Remove VFCTRL_DRAW_OSD, VFCAP_EOSD_FILTER, VFCAP_EOSD_RGBA, VFCAP_EOSD,
VOCTRL_DRAW_EOSD, VOCTRL_GET_EOSD_RES, VOCTRL_QUERY_EOSD_FORMAT.
Remove draw_osd_with_eosd(), which rendered the OSD by calling
VOCTRL_DRAW_EOSD. Change VOs to call osd_draw() directly, which takes
a callback as argument. (This basically works like the old OSD API,
except multiple OSD bitmap formats are supported and caching is
possible.)
Remove all mentions of "eosd". It's simply "osd" now.
Make OSD size per-OSD-object, as they can be different when using
vf_sub. Include display_par/video_par in resolution change detection.
Fix the issue with margin borders in vo_corevideo.
Instead, sd_lavc.c and spudec.c (the two image sub decoders) always
output indexed/paletted images. For this purpose, add SUBBITMAP_INDEXED,
and convert the subs to RGBA in img_convert.c instead. If a VO is used
that supports the old OSD format only, the indexed bitmaps are converted
to the old OSD format by abusing spudec.c in a similar way sd_lavc.c
used to do.
The main reason why spudec.c is used is because the images must not only
be converted to the old format, but also properly scaled, cropped, and
aligned (the asm code in libvo/osd.c requires this alignment).
Remove support for the old format (packed variant) from the OpenGL VOs.
(The packed formats were how the actual OSD format was handled in some
GPU-driven VOs for a while.)
Remove all conversions from old to new formats. Now all subtitle
decoders and OSD renderers produce the new formats only.
Add an evil hack to convert the new format (scaled+indexed bitmaps) to
the old format. It creates a new spudec instance to convert images to
grayscale and to scale them. This is temporary for VOs which don't
support new OSD formats yet (vo_xv, vo_x11, vo_lavc).
Passing parameters from caller to subtitle renderer was done by
temporarily setting certain members in the osd_state struct (which for
all practical purposes are as good as global variables). This was the
only purpose of these members.
Rather than using such a messy way to pass parameter, put these into a
struct sub_render_params. The struct was already introduced in earlier
commits, and this commit just removes the parameter passing hack.
With this commit, the player will still use spudec.c (the "old" DVD sub
decoder), rather than ffmpeg. But it brings the changes needed to enable
this down to a single line change:
--- a/mplayer.c
+++ b/mplayer.c

Also, copy the DVD resolution heuristics from spudec.c (from the
spudec_new_scaled() function). I'm not sure if this is correct or even
needed, but the sd_lavc codd explicitly reverted back to spudec with
code carrying this comment:
// Assume resolution heuristics only work for PGS and DVB
so it seems likely that the required heuristics were missing, and that
the spudec heuristics may make the DVD compatibility situation at least
as good as with spudec.
Note that it's unlikely that we enable sd_lavc for DVD subs by default,
as there are other problems in combination with direct DVD playback.
One sub_bitmaps struct could contain either a libass ASS_Image list, or
a mplayer native list of sub-bitmaps. This caused code duplication in
vo_vdpau.c and bitmap_packer.c.
Avoid this by creating such a sub_bitmap array even with libass. This
basically copies the list and recreates it in mplayer's native format.
It gets rid of the code duplication, and will make implementing extended
subtitle and OSD rendering in other VOs easier.
Also do some cosmetic changes and other preparations for the following
commits.
Support passing bitmap subtitles to VOs in full RGBA color, and
implement this for libavcodec-decoded subtitle formats on decoding
side and vo_vdpau on display side. Currently this is enabled for PGS
(blu-ray) and DVB subtitles.
VDPAU seems to have sampling issues similar to known GL ones when
drawing a sub-rectangle from a larger texture with scaling, where
adjacent pixels outside the specified source rectangle affect the
result. As the bitmap subtitles may be scaled, add padding support to
the bitmap packer code.
In principle, this could be used for colored DVD subtitles too.
However, the libavcodec DVD decoder lacks parts of the resolution and
palette handling that are present in spudec.c.
Conflicts:
libvo/vo_gl.c
sub/dec_sub.h
sub/sd_lavc.c
vo_vdpau and vo_gl cache the last subtitle bitmaps uploaded to video
card in case they stay the same over multiple frames. Detecting
whether the bitmaps have changed and should be re-uploaded was
somewhat fragile. Change the VO API to provide a bitmap ID which can
be compared with what the VO has to determine whether a new upload of
the bitmaps is needed.
Conflicts:
libvo/vo_gl.c
Note: the changes for vo_gl.c were not merged. Instead, eosd_packer is
modified to use the new way of detecting EOSD changes. This takes care
of vo_gl, vo_gl3 and vo_direct3d, which all render EOSD. They don't
need to be updated in turn.
Remove subtitle selection code setting osd->ass_track directly and
vf_ass/vf_vo code rendering the track directly with libass. Instead,
do track selection and rendering with dec_sub.c functions.
Before, mpctx->set_of_ass_tracks[] contained bare libass tracks
generated from external subtitle files. For use with dec_sub.c, it now
contains struct sh_sub instances with decoder already initialized.
This commit breaks the sub_step command ('g' and 'y' keys) for
libass-rendered subtitles. It could be fixed, but it's so useless -
especially as with the existing implementation there's no practical
way to get subtitle delay back to normal after using it - that I
didn't bother.
Conflicts:
command.c
mp_core.h
mplayer.c
Change libavcodec subtitle decoding code (used for some bitmap
subtitle types) to use the same decoding framework as sd_ass. The
functionality that was previously in av_sub.c and was directly called
from mplayer.c is now in sd_lavc.c.
Conflicts:
mplayer.c
sub/av_sub.h
sub/sd_lavc.c
Merged from mplayer2. The remaining use of is_av_sub() is replaced by
a check whether a subtitle decoder is active, which should give the
same results.
Add a framework for subtitle decoder modules that work more like
audio/video decoders do, and change libass rendering of demuxed
subtitles to use the new framework.
The old subtitle code is messy, with details specific to handling
particular subtitle types spread over high-level code. This should
make it easier to clean things up and fix some bugs/limitations.
