This is pretty pointless, but I believe it allows us to claim that the
new code is not affected by the copyright of the old code. This is
needed, because the original mp_audio struct was written by someone who
has disagreed with LGPL relicensing (it was called af_data at the time,
and was defined in af.h).
The "GPL'ed" struct contents that surive are pretty trivial: just the
data pointer, and some metadata like the format, samplerate, etc. - but
at least in this case, any new code would be extremely similar anyway,
and I'm not really sure whether it's OK to claim different copyright. So
what we do is we just use AVFrame (which of course is LGPL with 100%
certainty), and add some accessors around it to adapt it to mpv
conventions.
Also, this gets rid of some annoying conventions of mp_audio, like the
struct fields that require using an accessor to write to them anyway.
For the most part, this change is only dumb replacements of mp_audio
related functions and fields. One minor actual change is that you can't
allocate the new type on the stack anymore.
Some code still uses mp_audio. All audio filter code will be deleted, so
it makes no sense to convert this code. (Audio filters which are LGPL
and which we keep will have to be ported to a new filter infrastructure
anyway.) player/audio.c uses it because it interacts with the old filter
code. push.c has some complex use of mp_audio and mp_audio_buffer, but
this and pull.c will most likely be rewritten to do something else.
Refresh seeks are automatically issued when changing filters, which
improves user experience if these filters change buffering or such.
The refresh seek could actually overwrite a previously ongoing seek:
set pause yes
set time-pos 10
set vf ""
Here, the video code issued a refresh seek to the previous video
position, which could be different from the previously triggered (and
still ongoing) seek, this overwriting the seek.
Factor all refresh seek handling into a new function, and make it handle
ongoing seeks correctly.
Remove the weird new canonical_pts field, which actually had no use.
Fixes#4757.
Tends to be somewhat glitchy if subtitles are enabled, and you enable
and disable tracks.
On error, this will disable --lavfi-complex, which will result in
whatever behavior.
Remove the various redundant m_config_set_option* calls, rename the
remaining one to m_config_set_option_cli(), and merge the
m_config_parse_option() function.
These files have all in common that they were fully or mostly taken from
mplayer.c. (mplayer.c was a huge file that contains almost all of the
playback core, until it was split into multiple parts.) This was
probably the hardest part to relicense, because so much code was moved
around all the time.
player/audio.c still does not compile. We'll have to redo audio
filtering. Once that is done, we can probably actually provide an
actual LGPL configure switch.
Here is a relatively detailed list of potential issues:
8d190244: author did not reply, parts were made GPL-only in a previous
commit.
7882ea9b: author could not be reached, but the code is gone. wscript
still has --datadir switch, but I don't think this is relevant to
copyright.
f197efd5: unclear origin, but I consider the code gone anyway (replaced
with generic OSD mechanisms).
8337d9c2: author did not reply, but only the option still exists (under
a different name), other code was removed.
d8fd7131: did not reply. Disabled in a previous commit.
05258251: same author as above. Both fields actually seem to have
vanished (even when tracking renames), so no action taken.
d459e644, 268b2c1a: author did not reply, but we reuse only the options
(with different names and slightly or fully different semantics, and
completely different implementations), so I don't think this is relevant
for copyright.
09e742fe, 17c39c4e: same as above.
e8a173de, bff4b3ee: author could not be reached. The commands were
reworked to properties, and the code outside of the TV code were moved
back to the TV code. So I don't think copyright applies to the current
command.c parts (mp_property_tv_color, mp_property_tv_freq,
mp_property_tv_scan). The TV parts remain GPL.
0810e427: could not be reached. Disabled in a previous commit.
43744a2d: unknown author, but this was replaced by dynamic alloc (if the
change is even copyrightable).
116ca0c7: unknown author; reasoning see input.c relicensing commit.
e7e4d1d8: these semantics still exist, but as generic code, and this
code was fully removed.
f1175cd9: the author of the cited patch is unknown, and upon inspection
it turns out that I was only using the idea to pause the player on EOF,
so I claim it's not copyright relevant.
25affdcc: author could not be reached (yet) - but it's only a function
rename, not copyrightable.
5728504c was committed by Arpi (who agreed), but hints that it might be
by a different author. In fact it seems to be mostly this patch:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2001-November/002041.html
The author did not respond, but it all seems to have been removed later.
It's a terrible mess though. Arpi reverted the A-V sync code at first,
but left the RTC code for a while. The following commits remove these
changes 100%: 14b35442, 7181a091, 31482783, 614f8475, df58e822.
cehoyos did explicitly not agree to LGPL, but was involved in the
following changes:
c99d8fc8: applied a patch and didn't modify it, the original author
agreed.
40ac0d31: author could not be reached, but all code is gone anyway. The
"af" command has a similar function, but works completely different and
actually reuses a mechanism older than this patch.
54350436: applied a patch, but didn't modify it, except for adding a
German translation, which was removed later.
a2dda036: same situation as above
240b743e: this was made GPL-only in a previous commit
7b25afd7: same as above (for now)
kirijua could not be reached, but was a regular patch contributor:
c2c997fd: video equalizer code move; probably not copyrightable. Is GPL
due to Nick anyway.
be54f481: technically, this became the audio track property later. But
all what is left is the fact that you pass a track ID to it, so consider
the original coypright non-relevant.
2f376d1b: this was rewritten in b7052b43, but for now we can afford to
be careful, so this was marked as GPL only in a previous commit.
43844d09: remaining parts in main.c were reverted in a previous commit.
anders has mostly disagreed with the LGPL relicensing. Does not want
libaf to become LGPL, but made some concessions. In particular, he
granted us permission to relicense 4943e9c52c and 242aa6ebd4. We also
consider some of his changes remaining in mpv not relevant for copyright
(such as 735de602 - we won't remove the this option completely). We will
completely remove his other contributions, including the entire audio
filter chain. For now, this stuff is marked as GPL only. The remaining
question is how much code in player/audio.c (based on the former
mplayer.c and dec_audio.c) is under his copyright. I made claims about
this in a previous commit.
Nick(ols) Kurshev, svn username "nick" and "nickols_k", could not be
reached. He had a lot of changes in early MPlayer. It seems all of that
was removed, at least in mpv. His main work, like VIDIX or libswscale
work, does not exist in mpv anymore, but the changes to mplayer.c and
other core parts still deserve attention:
a4119f6b, fb927549, ad3529b8, e11b23dc, 5f2178be, 93c371d5: removed in
b43d67e0, d1628d12, 24ed01fe, df58e822.
0a83c6ec, 104c125e, 4e067f62, aec5dcc8, b587a3d6, f3de6e6b: DR, VAA, and
"tune" stuff was fully removed later on or replaced with other
mechanisms.
340183b0: screenshots were redone later (the VOCTRL was even removed,
with an independent implementation using the same VOCTRL a few years
later), so not relevant anymore. Basically only the 's' shortcut remains
(but not its implementation).
92c5c274, bffd4007, 555c6766: for now marked as GPL only in a previous
commit.
Might contain some trace amounts of "michael"'s copyright, who agreed to
LGPL only once the core is relicensed. This will still be respected, but
I don't think it matters at this in this case. (Some code touched by him
was merged into mplayer.c, and then disappeared after heavy
refactoring.)
I tried to be as careful and as complete as possible. It can't be
excluded that amends to this will be made later.
This does not make the player LGPL yet.
Commit d8fd7131 changes this. "tibcu" did not reply. While I'm not sure
whether copyrightable code remains, I'd tend towards saying yes (the
basic idea is still intact after years of refactoring), so make it
GPL-only for now.
The previous commit set "mpctx->playback_active = false;" before unload
hooks were processed. This was intentional, but could in theory cause
playback_active to be set to true again, and actually it's plain wrong
if playback was exited in the middle it. There needs to be something
else that forces playback_active to be set to false while in this
unloading state.
Make mpv_observe_property() work correctly on them even with
--keep-open-pause=no.
This also changes the situations in which the screensaver is
enabled/disabled subtly.
Merge the pause_player() and unpause_player() functions. Make sure the
pause events are emitted properly. We can now set the internal pause
state based on a predicate, instead of e.g. handle_pause_on_low_cache()
making a mess to trigger the internal pause state as wanted.
Preparation for some more changes.
This was excessively useless, and I want my time back that was needed to
explain users why they don't want to use it.
It captured the byte stream only, and even for types of streams it was
designed for (like transport streams), it was rather questionable.
As part of the removal, un-inline demux_run_on_thread() (which has only
1 call-site now), and sort of reimplement --stream-dump to write the
data directly instead of using the removed capture code.
(--stream-dump is also very useless, and I struggled coming up with an
explanation for it in the manpage.)
Disabling cache readahead by default until at least 1 track is selected
is mainly for external files and such, where you don't want them to use
up resources until they're actually used.
It doesn't make sense to disable the cache for the demuxer opened for
prefetch. Also, it's fine to let it do that for the main file too (doing
or not doing it is of little consequence). That saves us from having to
distinguish them.
Since for mpv CLI, the player state is a singleton, full prefetching is
a bit tricky. We do it only on the demuxer layer.
The implementation reuses the old "open thread". This means there is
significant potential for regressions even if the new option is not
used. This is made worse by the fact that I barely tested this code.
The generic mpctx_run_reentrant() wrapper is also removed - this was its
only user, and its remains become part of the new implementation.
As preparation for file prefetching, we basically have to get rid of
using mpctx->playback_abort for the main demuxer (i.e. the thing that
can be prefetched). It can't be changed on a running demuxer, and always
using the same cancel handle would either mean aborting playback would
also abort prefetching, or that playback can't be aborted anymore.
Make this more flexible with some refactoring.
Thi is a quite shitty solution if you ask me, but YOLO.
Was intended to show a "nice" message on edition switching. In practice,
the message was never visible. The OSD code checks whether a demuxer is
loaded, and if not, discards the message - meaning if the OSD code
happened to run before the demuxer was fully loaded, no message was
shown. This is apparently a regression due to extensions to the OSD and
the situations in which it can be used.
Remove the broken code since it's too annoying to fix. Instead, a
default property message will be shown, which is a bit uglier, but
actually not too unuseful.
The way playback/loading is stopped on the demuxer layer makes it report
an error to the higher levels of the player. But if playback/loading was
explicitly aborted, printing such an error is confusing and misleading.
This was probably just an oversight anyway. Fix it by using the libmpv
API reported error field instead, which handles this better.
Move the screensaver enable/disable determination to a central place,
and call it if the stop-screensaver property is changed.
Also, do not stop the screensaver when in idle mode (i.e. no file is
loaded).
Fixes#3615.
Add this flag where needed. You shouldn't be able to set e.g. config-dir
in these situations.
Remove the mpctx->initialized check from the property/option bridge,
since it's in use strictly only after initialization. Likewise, the
apply-profile command doesn't need to check this.
Move the MPV_LEAK_REPORT env query to mp_create(), where it will also be
used by the client API (it might be helpful, so why not). The same
applies to MPV_VERBOSE.
The prepare_playlist() call doesn't need to be in mp_initialize() and
can just be in mp_play_files() to reduce the size of mp_initialize().
Also, remove wakeup_playloop(), which is 100% redundant with
mp_wakeup_core_cb().
This does 3 kinds of changes:
- change sleeptime=x to mp_set_timeout()
- change sleeptime=0 to mp_wakeup_core() calls (to be more explicit)
- change commands etc. to call mp_wakeup_core() if they do changes that
require the playloop to be rerun
This is preparation for the following changes. The goal is to process
client API requests without having to rerun the playloop every time. As
of this commit, the changes should not change behavior. In particular,
the playloop is still implicitly woken up on every command.
Currently, calling mp_input_wakeup() will wake up the core thread (also
called the playloop). This seems odd, but currently the core indeed
calls mp_input_wait() when it has nothing more to do. It's done this way
because MPlayer used input_ctx as central "mainloop".
This is probably going to change. Remove direct calls to this function,
and replace it with mp_wakeup_core() calls. ao and vo are changed to use
opaque callbacks and not use input_ctx for this purpose. Other code
already uses opaque callbacks, or has legitimate reasons to use
input_ctx directly (such as sending actual user input).
Remove the per-part force_redraw flags, and instead make the difference
between flagging dirty state and returning it to the player frontend
more explicit. The big issue is that 1. the OSD needs to know the dirty
state, and it should be cleared strictly when it is re-rendered
(force_redraw flag), and 2. the player core needs to be notified once,
and the notification must be reset (want_redraw flag).
The call in loadfile.c is replaced by making osd_set_sub() set the
change flag. Increasing the change flag on dirty state (the force_redraw
check in render_object()) should not be needed, because OSD part
renderers set it correctly (at least now).
Doing this just because someone pointed this out.
This has all been made unnecessary recently. The change not to copy the
global option struct in particular can be made because now nothing
accesses the global options anymore in the demux and stream layers.
Some code that was accidentally added/changed in commit 5e30e7a0 is also
removed, because it was simply committed accidentally, and was never
used.
Cleaner and makes it easier to change the underlying stream.
mp_property_stream_capture() still directly accesses it directly via
demux_run_on_thread(). This is evil, but still somewhat sane and is not
getting into the way here.
Not sure if I got all field accesses.
Change the last parameter from a bool to an int, which is supposed to
take bit-flags. The at this point only flag is MPSEEK_FLAG_DELAY, which
replaces the previous bool parameter. The old false parameter becomes 0,
the old true parameter becomes MPSEEK_FLAG_DELAY.
Since the old "immediate" parameter is now essentially inverted, two
coalesced immediate and delayed seeks end up as delayed instead of
immediate. This change doesn't matter, since there are no relative
immediate seeks anyway.
When switching tracks, we normally have the problem that data gets lost
due to readahead buffering. (Which in turn is because we're stubborn and
instruct the demuxers to discard data on unselected streams.) The
demuxer layer has a hack that re-reads discarded buffered data if a
stream is enabled mid-stream, so track switching will seem instant.
A somewhat similar problem is when all tracks of an external files were
disabled - when enabling the first track, we have to seek to the target
position.
Handle these with the same mechanism. Pass the "current time" to the
demuxer's stream switch function, and let the demuxer figure out what to
do. The demuxer will issue a refresh seek (if possible) to update the
new stream, or will issue a "normal" seek if there was no active stream
yet.
One case that changes is when a video/audio stream is enabled on an
external file with only a subtitle stream active, and the demuxer does
not support rrefresh seeks. This is a fuzzy case, because subtitles are
sparse, and the demuxer might have skipped large amounts of data. We
used to seek (and send the subtitle decoder some subtitle packets
twice). This case is sort of obscure and insane, and the fix would be
questionable, so we simply don't care.
Should mostly fix#3392.
Assume you use a large value like --audio-delay=20. Then until now the
player would just have seeked normally to a "too late" position, and
played silence for about 20 seconds until audio in the correct time
range is coming again.
Change this by offsetting seeks by the right amount. This works for both
external and muxed files. If a seek isn't precise, then it works only
for external files.
This might cause issues with very large delay options. Hr-seek skipping
could take a lot of time (especially because it affects video too), the
demuxer queue could overflow, and other weird corner cases could appear.
But we just try this on best-effort basis, and if the user uses extreme
values we don't guarantee good behavior.
mixer.c didn't really deserve to be separate anymore, as half of its
contents were unnecessary glue code after recent changes. It also
created a weird split between audio.c and af.c due to the fact that
mixer.c could insert audio filters. With the code being in audio.c
directly, together with other code that unserts filters during runtime,
it will be possible to cleanup this code a bit and make it work like the
video filter code.
As part of this change, make the balance code work like the volume code,
and add an option to back the current balance value. Also, since the
balance semantics are unexpected for most users (panning between the
audio channels, instead of just changing the relative volume), and there
are some other volumes, formally deprecate both the old property and the
new option.
Calculate the buffering percentage in the same code which determines
whether the player is or should be buffering. In particular it can't
happen that percentage and buffering state are slightly out of sync due
to calling DEMUXER_CTRL_GET_READER_STATE and reusing it with the
previously determined buffering state.
Now it's also easier to guarantee that the buffering state is updated
properly.
Add some more verbose output as well.
(Damn I hate this code, why did I write it?)
Ever since a change in mplayer2 or so, relative seeks were translated to
absolute seeks before sending them to the demuxer in most cases. The
only exception in current mpv is DVD seeking.
Remove the SEEK_ABSOLUTE flag; it's not the implied default. SEEK_FACTOR
is kept, because it's sometimes slightly useful for seeking in things
like transport streams. (And maybe mkv files without duration set?)
DVD seeking is terrible because DVD and libdvdnav are terrible, but
mostly because libdvdnav is terrible. libdvdnav does not expose seeking
with seek tables. (Although I know xbmc/kodi use an undocumented API
that is not declared in the headers by dladdr()ing it - I think the
function is dvdnav_jump_to_sector_by_time().) With the current mpv
policy if not giving a shit about DVD, just revert our half-working seek
hacks and always use dvdnav_time_search(). Relative seeking might get
stuck sometimes; in this case --hr-seek=always is recommended.
Some oddity that is not needed anymore. The only thing which still
referenced them was avoiding loading external files more than once,
which is now prevented by checking the list of tracks instead.
When playback of a video ends, and the next file has no video at all (no
cover art or anything), then the window must be cleared.
This also resizes the window forcibly, which is by design.
Fixes#2825.
