This was requested. It was more or less present internally already and
used for Lua scripting. Lua will switch to the "public" functions in
the following commits.
Add --demuxer-max-packets and --demuxer-max-bytes, which control the
maximum size of the packet queue. These can be helpful to avoid
excessive memory usage.
Memory usage is the reason why there's a limit in the first place. If a
file is more or less broken, and audio and video don't line up, the
decoders will fill up the packet queue trying to read more audio or
video, and the maximum sizes are required to avoid unbounded memory
allocation. Being able to override the maximum sizes is useful; either
for restricting memory usage further, or enlarging the sizes when
attempting to play various broken files.
Remove --demuxer-readahead-packets and --demuxer-readahead-bytes. These
were a bit useless. They could force a minimum packet queue size, but
controlling the queue size with --demuxer-readahead-secs is much nicer.
It's fairly certain nobody ever used these options.
Also add a note that you should not use the old build system. (It's only
kept because of the "asshole maintainer" rule: no matter how broken or
pointless someting is, as long as you're the maintainer and want to keep
it, it stays in the repo.)
VDA is being deprecated in OS X 10.11 so this is needed to keep hwdec working.
The code needs libavcodec support which was added recently (to FFmpeg git,
libav doesn't support it).

Pretty stupid: vo_get_vsync_interval() returns a negative value if the
display FPS is unknown (e.g. xrandr not compiled), and the comparison
whether the value is below 0 fails later because it's assigned to an
unsigned int.
Regression since commit e3d85ad4.
Also, fix some comments in vo.c.
Some charsets can look like valid UTF-8, but aren't UTF-8. One example
is ISO-2022-JP. While ENCA apparently likes to get misdetect real UTF-8,
this is not the case with uchardet. uchardet can detect ISO-2022-JP
correctly, but didn't even get to try, because our own UTF-8 check
succeeded. So run the UTF-8 check when using ENCA only.
Fixes#2195.
Now it can always be read. Normally returns the value of the video-
aspect option. Writing it sets the option. If the aspect is not forced,
it will attempt to return whatever is the current video aspect.
That just makes no sense, but seems to be a somewhat common user error.
The detection is not perfect. It's conceivable that EXT-X-... headers
are used in normal m3u playlists. After all, HLS playlists are by
definition a compatible extension to m3u playlists, as stupid as it
sounds.
Drop d for toggling framedrop. Toggling this is way too special to be at
such a prominent place, and in fact I believe toggling it is pointless.
Remap deinterlacing from D to d. It's relatively useful and non-
destructive.
As suggested in #973 (almost).
Instead of opening a stream and then a demuxer, do both at once with
demux_open_url().
This requires some awkward additions to demuxer_params, because there
are some weird features associated with opening the main file. E.g. the
relatively useless --stream-capture features requires enabling capturing
on the stream before the demuxer is opened, but on the other hand
shouldn't be done on secondary files like external subtitles.
Also relatively bad: since demux_open_url() returns just a demuxer
pointer or NULL, additional error reporting is done via demuxer_params.
Still, at least conceptually, it's ok, and simpler than before.
Nobody wanted to restore this, so it gets the boot.
If anyone still wants to volunteer to restore menu support, this would
be welcome. (I might even try it myself if I feel masochistic and like
wasting a lot of time for nothing.) But if it does get restored, it
should be done differently. There were many stupid things about how it
was done. For example, it somehow tried to pull mp_nav_events through
all the layers (including needing to "buffer" them in the demuxer),
which was needlessly complicated. It could be done simpler.
This code was already inactive, so this commit actually changes nothing.
Also keep in mind that normal DVD/BD playback still works.
Normally when there's a timestamp reset, we make audio resync to make
sure audio and video line up (again). But in video-only mode, just
setting audio to resyncing breaks EOF detection, because there's no code
which would get audio_status out of this bogus state.
When full_redraw is set, we always need to take the draw_image path. If
it's not set, we can try VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME (and fallback to draw_image
if that fails).
Fixes#2184.
Commit c5818046 fixed one case of audio EOF handling, and caused a new
one. This time, the ao_buffer doesn't actually contain everyting that
should be played - because if --end is used, only a part of it is
played. Of course this is stupid, and it will be changed later. For now,
this smaller change fixes the bug.
Fixes#2189.
The jpeg-optimize and jpeg-baseline options were undocumented, and
they're also pretty useless. There's no reason to ever change them.
Also, don't write jpeg baseline images. This just makes compression
worse for the sake of rather questionable compatibility with ancient
decoders.
For now, it needs to be explicitly selected. ENCA is still the default.
This assumes uchardet returns iconv names. This doesn't seem to be
always the case, and the result are lots of iconv errors. So
explicitly check for this situation, and print a warning if it
occurs. It's entirely possible that uchardet support is actually
useless, because names are not necessarily iconv-compatible (but
uchardet doesn't seem to document whether it attempts to return
iconv-compatible names if possible).
Fixes#908.
uchardet is written in C++, and thus doesn't appreciate the value of
using static strings, and internally stores the guessed charset as
allocated std::string. Add a minimal hack to deal with this. (I don't
appreciate that the code is potentially harder to understand by
returning either a static or allocated string, but I do appreciate for
not having to litter the existing code with strdups.)
time_frame is when the next video frame should be shown. It's normally
overwritten by the video timing code. This also says something about
"nosound mode" (--no-audio today), but at least these days we don't use
it at all if video is disabled.
Remove it; it likely has no function at all.
If the framedrop count happens to be incremented with
vo_increment_drop_count() during rendering, these increments were
counted twice, because these events also set in->dropped_frame.
This was originally done for zsh; but zsh can manage the terminal state
correctly when foregrounding/backgrounding applications if you enable it
with "ttyctl -f". So I see no reason to wake up the mpv process once
every second anymore.
Revert "win32: more wchar_t -> WCHAR replacements"
Revert "win32: replace wchar_t with WCHAR"
Doing a "partial" port of this makes no sense anymore from my
perspective. Revert the changes, as they're confusing without
context, maintenance, and progress. These changes were a bit
premature anyway, and might actually cause other issues
(locale neutrality etc. as it was pointed out).
This was essentially missing from commit 0b52ac8a.
Since L"..." string literals have the type wchar_t[], we can't use them
for UTF-16 strings. Use C11 u"..." string literals instead. These have
the type char16_t[], but we simply assume char16_t is the same
underlying type as WCHAR. In practice, they're both unsigned short.
For this reason use -std=c11 on Windows. Since Windows is a "special"
environment (we require either MinGW or Cygwin), we don't need to worry
too much about compiler compatibility.
A user complains that it leads to the dxva driver failing, leading to
messages like this:
[ffmpeg/video] h264: Failed to execute: 0x8007000e
[ffmpeg/video] h264: hardware accelerator failed to decode picture
Reportedly, this happens only with vo_direct3d, not with vo_opengl. The
only difference is that vo_direct3d attempts to share the D3D device
with the decoder. Possibly the error is that the device in the VO is not
created with D3DCREATE_MULTITHREADED. Change this.
Probably fixes#2178.
The user probably doesn't want these. Conveniently, this also skips the
unwanted "." and ".." entries.
(This code is triggered if the input stream is a directory - and it's in
demux_playlist.c because it's convenient.)
WCHAR is more portable. While at least MinGW, Cygwin, and MSVC actually
use 16 bit wchar_t, Midipix will have 32 bit wchar_t. In that context,
using WCHAR instead is more portable.
This affects only non-MinGW parts, so not all uses of wchar_t need to
be changed. For example, terminal-win.c won't be used on Midipix at
all. (Most of io.c won't either, so the search & replace here is more
than necessary, but also not harmful.)
(Midipix is not useable yet, so this is just preparation.)
