I really wouldn't care much about this, but some parts of the core code
are under HAVE_GPL, so there's some need to get rid of it. Simply turn
the video equalizer from its current fine-grained handling with vf/vo
fallbacks into global options. This makes updating them much simpler.
This removes any possibility of applying video equalizers in filters,
which affects vf_scale, and the previously removed vf_eq. Not a big
loss, since the preferred VOs have this builtin.
Remove video equalizer handling from vo_direct3d, vo_sdl, vo_vaapi, and
vo_xv. I'm not going to waste my time on these legacy VOs.
vo.eq_opts_cache exists _only_ to send a VOCTRL_SET_EQUALIZER, which
exists _only_ to trigger a redraw. This seems silly, but for now I feel
like this is less of a pain. The rest of the equalizer using code is
self-updating.
See commit 96b906a51d for how some video equalizer code was GPL only.
Some command line option names and ranges can probably be traced back to
a GPL only committer, but we don't consider these copyrightable.
So far, we had a thread-safe way to read options, but no option update
notification mechanism. Everything was funneled though the main thread's
central mp_option_change_callback() function. For example, if the
panscan options were changed, the function called vo_control() with
VOCTRL_SET_PANSCAN to manually notify the VO thread of updates. This
worked, but's pretty inconvenient. Most of these problems come from the
fact that MPlayer was written as a single-threaded program.
This commit works towards a more flexible mechanism. It adds an update
callback to m_config_cache (the thing that is already used for
thread-safe access of global options).
This alone would still be rather inconvenient, at least in context of
VOs. Add another mechanism on top of it that uses mp_dispatch_queue, and
takes care of some annoying synchronization issues. We extend
mp_dispatch_queue itself to make this easier and slightly more
efficient.
As a first application, use this to reimplement certain VO scaling and
renderer options. The update_opts() function translates these to the
"old" VOCTRLs, though.
An annoyingly subtle issue is that m_config_cache's destructor now
releases pending notifications, and must be released before the
associated dispatch queue. Otherwise, it could happen that option
updates during e.g. VO destruction queue or run stale entries, which is
not expected.
Rather untested. The singly-linked list code in dispatch.c is probably
buggy, and I bet some aspects about synchronization are not entirely
sane.
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.
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.
This replaces `vo-performance` by `vo-passes`, bringing with it a number
of changes and improvements:
1. mpv users can now introspect the vo_opengl passes, which is something
that has been requested multiple times.
2. performance data is now measured per-pass, which helps both
development and debugging.
3. since adding more passes is cheap, we can now report information for
more passes (e.g. the blit pass, and the osd pass). Note: we also
switch to nanosecond scale, to be able to measure these passes
better.
4. `--user-shaders` authors can now describe their own passes, helping
users both identify which user shaders are active at any given time
as well as helping shader authors identify performance issues.
5. the timing data per pass is now exported as a full list of samples,
so projects like Argon-/mpv-stats can immediately read out all of the
samples and render a graph without having to manually poll this
option constantly.
Due to gl_timer's design being complicated (directly reading performance
data would block, so we delay the actual read-back until the next _start
command), it's vital not to conflate different passes that might be
doing different things from one frame to another. To accomplish this,
the actual timers are stored as part of the gl_shader_cache's sc_entry,
which makes them unique for that exact shader.
Starting and stopping the time measurement is easy to unify with the
gl_sc architecture, because the existing API already relies on a
"generate, render, reset" flow, so we can just put timer_start and
timer_stop in sc_generate and sc_reset, respectively.
The ugliest thing about this code is that due to the need to keep pass
information relatively stable in between frames, we need to distinguish
between "new" and "redrawn" frames, which bloats the code somewhat and
also feels hacky and vo_opengl-specific. (But then again, this entire
thing is vo_opengl-specific)
In a bunch of cases, we emulate highly platform specific APIs on a
higher level across all OSes, such as IPC, terminal, subprocess
handling, and more. We have source files for each OS, and they implement
all the same mpv internal API.
Selecting which source file to use on an OS can be tricky, because there
is partially overlapping and emulated APIs (consider Cygwin on Windows).
Add a pick_first_matching_dep() function to make this slightly easier
and more structured.
Also add dummy backends in some cases, to deal with APIs not being
available.
Clarify the Windows dependency identifiers, as these are the most
confusing.
This affects options like --vf or --display-tags. These used a "*"
suffix to match all options starting with a specific name, and handled
the rest in the option parser. Change this to remove the "*" special
case, and require every option parser to declare a list of allowed
suffixes via m_option_type.actions.
The new way is conceptually simpler, because we don't have to account
for the "*" in a bunch of places anymore, and instead everything is
centrally handled in the CLI part of the option parser, where it's
actually needed.
It automatically enables suffixes like -add for a bunch of other
stringlist options.
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.
Nick and kiriuja could not be reached, and created/changed this in
92c5c274, 6441a5ad, bffd4007, 555c6766, c2c997fd. The video equalizer
stuff was redone fully later, but there are still parts that look too
similar and basically use the same approach. I'm more comfortable with
declaring it GPL only for now.
I plan to redo them later in a way that will remove copyright.
cehoyos has not agreed to the LGPL relicensing. He added the deinterlace
property in commit 7b25afd7. Make it GPL-only for now. The still working
parts of the --deinterlace option are not affected by his copyright.
It was extended by "seru" in 8d190244. This person could not be reached
(or does not reply), and it's in the way of LGPL relicensing. Deprecate
it, and mark the (probably) affected parts of the code with HAVE_GPL. To
be fair, even though the osd.c parts were refactored from the original
code, there's probably no copyright by seru on it. But for now play it
save. The mere existence of a 3rd OSD level is certainly not
copyrightable, so you still can set osd-level to 3 - just that it does
nothing.
This is more uniform, and potentially gets rid of some past copyrights.
It might be that this subtly changes caching behavior (it seems before
this, it synced to the demuxer if the length was unknown, which is not
what we want.)
cehoyos adds the step_property command in 7a71da01d, and it could be
argued that copyright of this still applies to the later add/cycle
commands (a668ae0ff9). While I'm not sure if this is really the case,
stay conservative for now and mark these commands as GPL-only. Mark the
command.c code too, although that is not being relicensed yet.
I'm leaving the MP_CMD_* enum items, as they are obviously different.
In commit 116ca0c768, "veal" (essentially an anonymous author) adds an
"osd_show_property_text" command (well, the commit message says "based
on" that person's code, so it's not clear how much is from him or from
albeu, who agreed to LGPL). This was later merged again with the
"osd_show_text" command, and then all original code was removed in
commit 58cc0f637f, so I claim that no copyright applies anymore. (Though
technically the input.conf addition still might be copyrighted, so I'm
just dropping it to get rid of the thought.)
"kiriuja" added 2f376d1b39 (sub_load etc.) and be54f4813 (switch_audio).
The latter is gone. I would argue that the former is fully rewritten
with commits b7052b431c and 0f155921b0. But like in the step_property
case, I will be overly conservative for now, and mark them as GPL-only,
as this is potentially shaky and should be thought through first. (Not
bothering with the command define/enum in the header, as it will be
unused in LGPL mode anyway.)
keycodes.c/h can be GPL, except for commit 2b1f95dcc2, which is a
patch by someone who wasn't asked yet. Before doing something radical, I
will wait for a reply.
This introduces (yet another..) mp_colorspace members, an enum `light`
(for lack of a better name) which basically tells us whether we're
dealing with scene-referred or display-referred light, but also a bit
more metadata (in which way is the scene-referred light expected to be
mapped to the display?).
The addition of this parameter accomplishes two goals:
1. Allows us to actually support HLG more-or-less correctly[1]
2. Allows people playing back direct “camera” content (e.g. v-log or
s-log2) to treat it as scene-referred instead of display-referred
[1] Even better would be to use the display-referred OOTF instead of the
idealized OOTF, but this would require either native HLG support in
LittleCMS (unlikely) or more communication between lcms.c and
video_shaders.c than I'm remotely comfortable with
That being said, in principle we could switch our usage of the BT.1886
EOTF to the BT.709 OETF instead and treat BT.709 content as being
scene-referred under application of the 709+1886 OOTF; which moves that
particular conversion from the 3dlut to the shader code; but also allows
a) users like UliZappe to turn it off and b) supporting the full HLG
OOTF in the same framework. But I think I prefer things as they are
right now.
List of changes:
1. Kill nom_peak, since it's a pointless non-field that stores nothing
of value and is _always_ derived from ref_white anyway.
2. Kill ref_white/--target-brightness, because the only case it really
existed for (PQ) actually doesn't need to be this general: According
to ITU-R BT.2100, PQ *always* assumes a reference monitor with a
white point of 100 cd/m².
3. Improve documentation and comments surrounding this stuff.
4. Clean up some of the code in general. Move stuff where it belongs.
The option->property bridge can't (and shouldn't) preserve option flags.
This is a problem if the flags are actually used by the option
implementation, beyond calling m_config_mark_co_flags().
This was true so far, but b8193e4071 changed this. Now setting the
--profile option (usually from a config file or as recursive profile)
can have side-effects that depend on the flags contents. Solve this by
avoiding going through the "double bridge" altogether.
This fixes a regression if an auto-profile is active, and the user
specifies an option on the command line that is supposed to override an
item in a profile recursively referenced by the auto-profile. The
command line option will not override it, because the auto-profile is
set later, and during application of the auto-profile, the
M_SETOPT_PRESERVE_CMDLINE flag gets lost.
Having to add something to m_property is not nice, and I'll probbaly
regret later. On the other hand, there is a chance that this helps
towards true option/property unification.
Before this, options with co->data==NULL (i.e. no storage) were not
added to the bridge (except alias options). There are a few options
which might make sense to allow via the bridge ("profile" and
"include"). So allow them.
In command_init(), we merely remove the co->data check, the rest of the
diff is due to switching the if/else branches for convenience.
We also must explicitly error on M_PROPERTY_GET if co->data==NULL. All
other cases check it in some way.
Explicitly exclude options from the property bridge, which would be
added due this, and the result would be pointless.
This adds check_property_scalable, which returns true if the property is
backed by a floating-point number. When the add or cycle commands
operate on these properties, they can benefit from the fractional scale
value in cmd->scale. When the property is not backed by a floating-point
number, cmd->scale_units is used instead, so for axis events, the
property is only incrmented when the user scrolls one full unit.
This solution isn't perfect, because in some cases integer-backed
properties could benefit from accurate scrolling. For example, if an
axis is bound to "cycle audio 5", the cycle command could be made to
change the audio track by one when the user scrolls 1/5th of a unit,
though this behaviour would require more changes to the options system.
af_volume is deprecated, and so are its replaygain sub-options. To make
it possible to use replaygain without deprecated options (and of course
to make it available at all after af_volume is dropped), reintroduce
them as top-level options.
This also means that they are easily changeable at runtime by using them
as properties. Change the "volume" property to use the new update
mechanism as well.
We don't actually bother sharing the implementation between new and
deprecated mechanisms, as the deprecated one will simply be deleted.
For the from_dB() functions, we mention anders' copyright, although I'm
not sure if a mere formula is copyrightable. This will have to be
determined later.
This whole change is mostly untested. Our distributed human CI will take
care of it.
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.
Un-special-case the sub-speed property, and apply subtitle speed updates
in more cases. In particular, this respects runtime changes of the
sub-fps option.
(A minor consequence of this is that the subtitle speed is recomputed
more often even in cases when it's not necessary. Also, the subtitle
update is slightly "delayed" rather than strictly instant. Both of
these likely are absolutely not observable by the user, although the
subtitle speed verbose log message will be printed more often if the
subtitle format is MicroDVD.)
And also change input.conf to make all screenshots async. (Except the
every-frame mode, which always uses synchronous mode and ignores the
flag.) By default, the "screenshot" command is still asynchronous,
because scripts etc. might depend on this behavior.
This is only partially async. The code for determining the filename is
still always run synchronously. Only encoding the screenshot and writing
it to disk is asynchronous. We explicitly document the exact behavior as
undefined, so it can be changed any time.
Some of this is a bit messy, because I wanted to avoid duplicating the
message display code between sync and async mode. In async mode, this is
called from a worker thread, which is not safe because showing a message
accesses the thread-unsafe OSD code. So the core has to be locked during
this, which implies accessing the core and all that. So the code has
weird locking calls, and we need to do core destruction in a more
"controlled" manner (thus the outstanding_async field).
(What I'd really want would be the OSD simply showing log messages
instead.)
This is pretty untested, so expect bugs.
Fixes#4250.
This is a bit approximate, because we rely on the pixel format changing
if the hardware decoding changes. This is not always true, as the pixel
format for software decoded video and hardware decoded video copied back
to CPU RAM could be the same. (Not sure if that is actually the case for
any supported cases.)
But for now this should fix most of #4289.
Basically, see the example in input.rst.
This is better than the "old" vf-toggle method, because it doesn't
require the user to duplicate the filter string in mpv.conf and
input.conf.
Some aspects of this changes are untested, so enjoy your alpha testing.
Requested. The property semantics are a bit muddy due to lack of effort.
Anticipated use is different display of cache status, so it should not
matter anyway.
Currently, tracks have always associated streams, so there can't be a
NULL dereference on the next line. But all the code is written with the
possibility in mind that we might want tracks without streams, so make
it consistent.
Found by coverity.
A hacky, convoluted, half-working mess that attempts to cut off overlong
playlists.
It does so by relying on the ASS formatting rule that the font size is
specified in the virtual PlayResY resolution. This means we can
(normally) easily tell how many lines fit on the screen. On the other
hand, this does not work if the text is wrapped.
This as a kludge until a Better™ solution is available.
"show-text test; script-binding display_stats" can potentially crash. It
sends a message event. None of the string arguments can be NULL, which
fails if cmd->key_name is NULL. This in turn can be due to commands
combined with ";" (basically the key association doesn't consider nested
commands).
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.)
"drop-frame-count" -> "decoder-frame-drop-count"
"vo-drop-frame-count" -> "frame-drop-count"
This gets rid of the backwards "drop-frame" part in the name.
Maybe calling the new property "frame-drops" would be better, but there
are already a bunch of similar properties that end in "-count".
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.
The property calls will always succeed anyway. On the other hand, the
error handling is kind of incomplete (doesn't check setting ab-loop-a
when ab-loop-b is also set), so drop this code.
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.
Remove more stuff that was needed only for legacy suboptions.
One user-visible change is that parent-options like --tv are now not
visible anymore. They lead to a special error message when used before,
but now they're simply not part of the option list anymore.
For some reason, some types of accesses didn't warn, for example when
using mp.observe_property() in Lua. This was because the deprecation
handling code explicitly checks certain accesses. I'm not quite certain
why it was done this way. Just make it warn always.
This could be backported to the current release, if we cared.
As threatened by the API changes document.
We can actually keep the deprecated --playlist-pos and --cache options,
since they are aliases and not used by the corresponding properties.
They are inconsistent, but do no harm. Keep them for now for the sake of
the command line user.
mpv_identify.sh partially stopped working, because it was never updated.
The shell magic can't deal with property names that contain "/", so we
can't replace "samplerate" with "audio-params/samplerate" - just remove
these properties. (How about you use ffprobe?)
Run "playlist-remove current" while the last playlist entry is being
played stopped playback. Fix this and return to the first entry instead.
Fixes#3808.
--reset-on-next-file=all triggers m_config_backup_all_opts(), which
backups all options (even deprecated ones). Later, when the option
values are reset with m_config_restore_backups(), mp_on_set_option() is
called, which in turn calls mp_property_do_silent(), which in turn will
call mp_property_generic_option() and m_config_get_co(), which triggers
the deprecation message.
Unfortunately there's no good way to determine whether an option has
actually changed (there's no option value compare operation), so the
deprecated options have to be set no matter what. On the other hand, we
can't pass through additional flags through the property layer. So we
add a dumb global flag to silence the deprecation warnings in these
cases.
Fortunately m_config_get_co_raw() works to silence the warnings.
m_config_get_co() also resolves aliases (deprecated and non-deprecated),
but aliased options are handled differently by the option-property
bridge, so we don't need to do that here, so the only purpose of it is
to trigger a warning for deprecated (non-alias) options.
The tv-freq options and properties use different types, thus must be
treated as incompatible. Fixes an assertion with reset-on-next-file=all,
which tries to set the option.
Fixes#3708.
Don't require special property code for handling updates, and simply use
the UPDATE_AUDIO flag instead. Also make runtime changes to
--audio-client-name take effect.
Now a reload requested by an AO behaves in exactly the same way as
changing an AO-related options (like --audio-channels or
--audio-exclusive). This is good for testing and uniform behavior. (You
could go as far as saying it's a necessity, because the spotty and
obscure AO reload behavior is hard to reproduce and thus hard to test at
all.)
This affects changing audio configuration options. Explicitly flush and
uninitialize the audio output first before doing the rest. This should
ensure all state attached to the audio output is discarded and not used
during the reconfiguration.
Also add a comment to the reinit_audio_filters() call. It doesn't
necessarily restore the audio chain fully, but makes sure a seek is
issued if the amnount of buffered audio discarded was huge enough to
cause "problems".
If we really want client API users to use mpv_set_property() instead of
mpv_set_option(), then compatibility handling of deprecated options
should be included. Otherwise, there's the danger that client API users
either break too early (and without a warning), or mpv_set_option() will
continue to have a reason to exist.
"seek -10 absolute" will seek to 10 seconds before the end. This more or less
matches the --start option and negative seeks were otherwise useless (they just
clipped to 0).
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.
I'm not sure if this option affects anything or if it's a placebo,
especially since the VO thread is now registered with MMCSS. Still, I
think --priority=high may have helped back when I used mplayer2 on a
netbook. It's also possible that encoding-mode users would want to set
--priority=idle.
Anyway, it was one of the last M_OPT_FIXED options, so fix that.
The last commit was fine - just making some enhancements.
Rename the function to parse_node_chapters(), since it really has not
much to do with Lua.
Don't use len<0 as check whether it makes sense to set chapters, and
instead check for mpctx->demuxer (that includes the possibility to set
chapters e.g. within a preload hook, but after chapters are initialized
from the demuxer).
Return M_PROPERTY_ERROR instead of M_PROPERTY_OK if the mpv_node has the
wrong type.
It's ok if a chapter has no title, so change the checks accordingly.
Remove a Yoda condition.
Notify that chapter metadata might have changed with mp_notify() (the
chapter list itself is already taken care by generic code).
Fix leaking the metadata allocations of the new chapter list.
I would have been fine with this, but now I want to add another flag,
and the duplication would become more messy than having a strange
function for deduplication.
The property observation mechanism turns properties into integer IDs for
fast comparison. This means if two properties get the same ID, they will
receive the same notifications. Use this to make properties under
options/ receive notifications. The option-property bridge marks
top-level properties with the same name as the options.
This still might not work in cases the C code sets values on options
structs directly.
If one of the audio output format options is set, brually reinit the
audio chain.
Since the audio-channels property is still mapped to the deprecated
read-only property, "options/audio-channels" currently has to be used,
e.g. "cycle-values options/audio-channels 2 7.1".
The intention is to give libmpv users as much flexibility to load
scripts as using mpv from CLI, but without restricting libmpv users from
having to decide everything on creation time, or having to go through
hacks like recreating the libmpv context to update state.
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.
This is the actual decoder output, with no overrides applied. (Maybe
video-params shouldn't contain the overrides in the first place, but
damage done.)
Use the new mechanism, instead of wrapped properties. As usual, extend
the update handling to some options that were forgotten/neglected
before. Rename video_reset_aspect() to video_reset_params() to make it
more "general" (and we can amazingly include write access to
video-aspect as well in this).
Setting the osc or ytdl properties will now load/unload the associated
scripts. (For ytdl this does not mean the currently played URL will be
reloaded.)
Also add a changelog entry for this, which also covers the preceding
work for --terminal.
Remove wrapper properties for OSD and video position updates, use the
new mechanism for them. We can mark the options directly. Update
behavior will work for more options (since I've casually marked more
affected options than the old less direct mechanism covered).
So client API users don't have to care about whether to set this before
or after mpv_initialize().
We still don't enable terminal at any point before mpv_initialize(),
because reasons.
This also subtly changes some behavior how terminal options are applied
while parsing. This essentially reverts the behavior as it was reported
in issue #2588. Originally, I was hoping to get rid of the pre-parse
option pass, but it seems this is absolutely not possible due to the way
config and command line parsing are entangled. Command line options take
priority over configfile options, so they have to be applied later - but
we also want to apply logging and terminal options as specified on the
command-line, but _before_ parsing the config files. It has to be this
way to see config file error messages on the terminal, or to hide them
if --no-terminal is used. libmpv considerations also factor into this.
Extend the flag-based notification mechanism that was used via
M_OPT_TERM. Make the vo_opengl update mechanism use this (which, btw.,
also fixes compilation with OpenGL renderers forcibly disabled).
While this adds a 3rd mechanism and just seems to further the chaos, I'd
rather have a very simple mechanism now, than actually furthering the
mess by mixing old and new update mechanisms. In particular, we'll be
able to remove quite some property implementations, and replace them
with much simpler update handling. The new update mechanism can also
more easily refactored once we have a final mechanism that handles
everything in an uniform way.
For audio files, this is identical to time-pos (except read-only).
For audio-video files, this returns the audio position. Unlike
time-pos, this is not quantized to a video frame.
For video-only files, this property is unavailable.
Some properties had a different type from their equivalent options (such
as mute, volume, deinterlace, edition). This wasn't really sane, as raw
option values should be always within their bounds. On the other hand,
these properties use a different type to reflect runtime limits (such as
range of available editions), or simply to improve the "UI" (you don't
want to cycle throuhg the completely useless "auto" value when cycling
the "mute" property).
Handle this by making them always return the option type, but also
allowing them to provide a "constricted" type, which is used for UI
purposes. All M_PROPERTY_GET_CONSTRICTED_TYPE changes are related to
this.
One consequence is that you can set the volume property to arbitrary
high values just like with the --volume option, but using the "add"
command it still restricts it to the --volume-max range.
Also deprecate --chapter, as it is grossly incompatible to the chapter
property. We pondered renaming it to --chapters, or introducing a more
powerful --range option, but concluded that --start --end is actually
enough.
These changes appear to take care of the last gross property/option
incompatibilities, although there might still be a few lurking.
For some odd reason, value ranges for the window-scale option and
property are different, and the property has a more narrow range. Change
it to the option range.
Also store the window-scale value into the option value when setting the
property, so it will be persistent if the window is closed and reopened.
Conflicts with the "playlist-pos" property. They're really a bit too
different, and since the --playlist-pos option is relatively new and
obscure, just rename it to get this out of the way.
Make the option type exactly the same as the underlying option's one. I
think this has no user-visible consequences, but makes more sense for
the option-property bridge.
These are not mapped as property, so the option-property bridge has to
skip them. Do this automatically if a property is not found. I know that
this affects --quiet and --really-quiet, but in theory there could be
more.
All option write accesses are now put through the property interface,
which means runtime option value verification and runtime updates are
applied. This is done even for command line arguments and config files.
This has many subtle and not-so-subtle consequences. The potential for
unintended and intended subtle or not-subtle behavior changes is very
large.
Architecturally, this is us literally jumping through hoops. It really
should work the other way around, with options being able to have
callbacks for value verification and applying runtime updates. But this
would require rewriting the entirety of command.c. This change is more
practical, and if anything will at least allow incremental changes.
Some options are too incompatible for this to work - these are excluded
with an explicit blacklist.
This change fixes many issues caused by the mismatch between properties
and options. For example, this fixes#3281.
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 is an awful corner-case party, because we've started to allow the
user to send track-switching related commands before stream selection is
done in the loading stage. If mp_switch_track() is called before this
stream selection, it can behave inconsistently. So if we're in the
pre-loading phase, we must set the stream selection options to get
streams selected later, instead of calling this function. There seem to
be some annoying circumstances that exclude mp_switch_track() from
handling this logic too, so do it at all call-sites.
This affects the "cycle" command. If we switched to the next track, and
it failed to initialize, we just deselected everything.
Change it so that if initialization fails early (typically decoder
selection), we try to continue with the track after that. (Even if
nothing can be selected, the loop will terminate when trying to select
nothing.
Fixes#3446.
With the recent vo_opengl changes it doesn't do anything anymore.
I don't think a deprecation period is necessary, because the command
was always marked as experimental.
vo_opengl sub-option were always rather annoying to handle. It seems
better to make them global options instead. This is simpler and easier
to use. The only disadvantage we are aware of is that it's not clear
that many/all of these new global options work with vo_opengl only.
--vo=opengl-hq is also deprecated.
There is extensive compatibility with the old behavior. One exception is
that --vo-defaults will not apply to opengl-hq (though with opengl it
still works). vo-cmdline is also dysfunctional and will be removed in a
following commit.
These changes also affect opengl-cb.
The update mechanism is still rather inefficient: it requires syncing
with the VO after each option change, rather than batching updates.
There's also no granularity (video.c just updates "everything", and if
auto-ICC profiles are enabled, vo_opengl.c will fetch them on each
update).
Most of the manpage changes were done by Niklas Haas <git@haasn.xyz>.
The --cache option and cache property conflict, so one of them has to be
renamed. The option is probably used frequently, so initiate
deprecation/rename of the property.
Make some existing properties behave more like options. This mostly
means they don't deny access if the associated component is not active,
but redirects to the option.
One kind of fishy change is that we apply --brightness etc. only if
they're not set to the default value. This won't necessarily work with
--vo=xv, but affects only cases where 1. the Xv adapter has been changed
to non-defaults, and 2. the user tries to reset them with mpv by passing
e.g. --brightness=0. We don't care about Xv, and the noted use-case is
dumb, so this change is acceptable.
These conflict with options of the same name, and prevent a "full"
unification. Not addressed is the "cache" property, and possibly a few
properties that behave differently from their equivalent options.
Now options are accessible through the property list as well, which
unifies them to a degree.
Not all options support runtime changes (meaning affected components
need to be restarted for the options to take effects). Remove from the
manpage those properties which are cleanly mapped to options anyway.
From the user-perspective they're just options available through the
property interface.
Before this commit, all VOs had to toggle the option flag themselves,
now command.c does it.
I can't really comprehend why it required every VO to do this manually.
Maybe it was for rejecting the property/option change if the VO didn't
support a specific capability. But then it could have checked the VOCTRL
result. In any case, I don't care, and successfully changing the
property without doing anything (With some VOs) is fine too. Many things
work this way now, and it's simpler overall.
This change will be useful for cleaning up VO option handling.
Just a minor refactor along the planned option change. This commit will
make it easier to update (i.e. copy) the VO options without copying
_all_ options. For now, behavior should be equivalent, though.
(The VO options were put into a separate struct quite early - when all
global variables were removed from the source code. It wasn't clear
whether the separate struct would have any actual purpose, but it seems
it will now. Awesome, huh.)
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.
When fetching the playlist property, playlist_entry_from_index would be
called for each playlist entry, which traversed a linked list to get the
entry corresponding to the specified index. This was very slow for large
playlists. Since get_playlist_entry is called for each index in order,
it can avoid a full traversal of the linked list by using the next
pointer on the previously requested entry.
This affects A-B loops and --loop-file, and audio. Instead of dropping
audio by resetting the AO, try to make it seamless by not sending data
after the loop point, and after the seek send new data without a reset.
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.
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.
Old-style commands using _ as separator (e.g. show_progress) were still
used in some places, including documentation and configuration files.
This commit updates all such instances to the new style (show-progress)
so that commands are easier to find in the manual.
Since it turns out that knowing what exactly a file was tagged with can
be useful for debugging purposes, expose this as a property so I can
check it more easily.
This is mostly useful for sig-peak (since nom-peak is currently entirely
calculated by us), but I added both for consistency.
Drop the code for switching the volume options and properties between
af_volume and AO volume controls. interface-changes.rst mentions the
changes in detail.
Do this because this was exceedingly complex and had other problems as
well. It was also very hard to test. It's just not worth the trouble.
Some leftovers like AOCONTROL_HAS_PER_APP_VOLUME will be removed at a
later point.
Fixes#3322.
Instead of using the "vf" command code (which changes filters at runtime
on user input), use the general filter-insertion code. The latter was
added later, and is more suitable for automatically inserted filters.
The old code failed in particular when using watch-later saving, which
stored the filter list in the resume config file. If a user changed the
hardware decoding mode via command line, the stored filter chain was out
of date and could cause failure due to not working with hardware or
software decoding mode. Storing the deinterlace filter in the filter
list was unavoidable, because it was part of the user state. (The new
code only edits the actually instantiated filters.)
This has two reasons:
1. I tend to add new fields to this metadata, and every time I've done
so I've consistently forgotten to update all of the dozens of places in
which this colorimetry metadata might end up getting used. While most
usages don't really care about most of the metadata, sometimes the
intend was simply to “copy” the colorimetry metadata from one struct to
another. With this being inside a substruct, those lines of code can now
simply read a.color = b.color without having to care about added or
removed fields.
2. It makes the type definitions nicer for upcoming refactors.
In going through all of the usages, I also expanded a few where I felt
that omitting the “young” fields was a bug.
Working towards refcounted sub images, and also for removing bitmap
packers from VOs.
I'm not sure why we even have this overlay-add command. It was sort of
"needed" before opengl-cb was introduced, and before Lua scripts could
put ASS drawings on OSD without conflicting with the OSC. But now trying
to use it doesn't make too much sense anymore.
Still keep it because we're trying to be nice, but throw performance out
of the window. Now image data is copied 2 more times before displaying
it. This also makes using the command a bit simpler.
Normally, OSD is updated every time the playloop is run. This has to be
done, because the OSD may implicitly reference various properties,
without knowing whether they really need to be updated or not. (There's
a property update mechanism, but it's mostly unavailable, because OSD is
special-cased and can not use the client API mechanism properly.)
Normally, these updates are no problem, because the OSD is only actually
printed when the OSD text actually changes.
But commit d23ffd24 added a rate-limiting mechanism, which tries to
limit OSD updates at most every 50ms (or the next video frame). Since it
can't know in advance whether the OSD is going to change or not, this
simply waked up the player every 50ms.
Change this so that the player is updated only as part of general
updates determined through mp_notify(). (This function also notifies the
client API of changed properties.) The desired result is that the player
will not wake up at all in normal idle mode, but still update properties
that can change when paused, such as the cache.
This is mostly a cosmetic change (in the sense of making runtime
behavior just slightly better). It has the slightly more negative
consequence that properties which update implicitly (such as "clock")
will not update periodically anymore.
Instead of having 9 different properties, requiring 18 different
VOCTRLs to read them all, they are now exposed as a single property.
This is not only cleaner (since they're all together) but also allows
querying all 9 of them with only a single VOCTRL (by using
mp.get_property_native).
(The extra factor of 2 was due to an extra query being needed to get the
type, which is now also unnecessary)
This makes it much easier to access performance metrics from within a
lua script, and also makes it easier to just show a readable, formatted
version via show-text.
This is plumbed through a new VOCTRL, VOCTRL_PERFORMANCE_DATA, and
exposed as properties render-time-last, render-time-avg etc.
All of these numbers are in microseconds, which gives a good precision
range when just outputting them via show-text. (Lua scripts can
obviously still do their own formatting etc.)
Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>
We now have a video filter that uses the d3d11 video processor, so it
makes no sense to have one in the VO interop code. The VO uses it for
formats not directly supported by ANGLE (so the video data is converted
to a RGB texture, which ANGLE can take in).
Change this so that the video filter is automatically inserted if
needed. Move the code that maps RGB surfaces to its own inteorp backend.
Add a bunch of new image formats, which are used to enforce the new
constraints, and to automatically insert the filter only when needed.
The added vf mechanism to auto-insert the d3d11vpp filter is very dumb
and primitive, and will work only for this specific purpose. The format
negotiation mechanism in the filter chain is generally not very pretty,
and mostly broken as well. (libavfilter has a different mechanism, and
these mechanisms don't match well, so vf_lavfi uses some sort of hack.
It only works because hwaccel and non-hwaccel formats are strictly
separated.)
The RGB interop is now only used with older ANGLE versions. The only
reason I'm keeping it is because it's relatively isolated (uses only
existing mechanisms and adds no new concepts), and because I want to be
able to compare the behavior of the old code with the new one for
testing. It will be removed eventually.
If ANGLE has NV12 interop, P010 is now handled by converting to NV12
with the video processor, instead of converting it to RGB and using the
old mechanism to import that as a texture.
Main use: deinterlacing.
I'm not sure how to select the deinterlacing mode at all. You can
enumate the available video processors, but at least on Intel, all of
them either signal support for all deinterlacers, or none (the latter is
apparently used for IVTC). I haven't found anything that actually tells
the processor _which_ algorithm to use.
Another strange detail is how to select top/bottom fields and field
dominance. At least I'm getting quite similar results to vavpp on Linux,
so I'm content with it for now.
Future plans include removing the D3D11 video processor use from the
ANGLE interop code.
This has often been requested for use on OSD. I don't really like having
such "special" properties, but whatever. Hopefully this will be the only
case.
Untested because I'm too damn lazy.
Fixes#2828.
This uses the normal autoprobing rules like "auto", but rejects anything
that isn't flagged as copying data back to system memory.
The chunk in command.c was dead code, so remove it instead of updating
it.
The main change is with video/hwdec.h. mp_hwdec_info is made opaque (and
renamed to mp_hwdec_devices). Its accessors are mainly thread-safe (or
documented where not), which makes the whole thing saner and cleaner. In
particular, thread-safety rules become less subtle and more obvious.
The new internal API makes it easier to support multiple OpenGL interop
backends. (Although this is not done yet, and it's not clear whether it
ever will.)
This also removes all the API-specific fields from mp_hwdec_ctx and
replaces them with a "ctx" field. For d3d in particular, we drop the
mp_d3d_ctx struct completely, and pass the interfaces directly.
Remove the emulation checks from vaapi.c and vdpau.c; they are
pointless, and the checks that matter are done on the VO layer.
The d3d hardware decoders might slightly change behavior: dxva2-copy
will not use the VO device anymore if the VO supports proper interop.
This pretty much assumes that any in such cases the VO will not use any
form of exclusive mode, which makes using the VO device in copy mode
unnecessary.
This is a big refactor. Some things may be untested and could be broken.
Add --taskbar-progress command line option and property which controls taskbar
progress indication rendering in Windows 7+. This option is on by default and
can be toggled during playback.
This option does not affect the creation process of ITaskbarList3. When the
option is turned off the progress bar is just hidden with TBPF_NOPROGRESS.
Closes#2535
Introduce hwdec-current and hwdec-interop properties.
Deprecate hwdec-detected, which never made a lot of sense, and which is
replaced by the new properties. hwdec-active also becomes useless, as
hwdec-current is a superset, so it's deprecated too (for now).
For "current" markers on OSD properties like chapter-list. The marker is
now an actual arrow instead of "> ", and non-current entries will have
the same indentation as the current entry.
While I'm not entirely sure about the new look of those lists, it's a
bit better than the visual mess that was before.
Because it's annoying and feels unnatural.
If the B point is set while paused, don't seek. If not paused, it should
properly loop immediately.
In theory there's a chance that it will show at least 1 frame after the
loop point when setting the B point. But let's not care about that.
Commit 382bafcb changed the behavior for ab-loop-a. This commit changes
ab-loop-b so that the behavior is symmetric.
Adjust the OSD rendering accordingly to the two changes.
Also fix mentions of the "ab_loop" command to the now preferred
"ab-loop".
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?)
