This adds handling of spherical video metadata: retrieving it from
demux_lavf and demux_mkv, passing it through filters, and adjusting it
with vf_format. This does not include support for rendering this type of
video.
We don't expect we need/want to support the other projection types like
cube maps, so we don't include that for now. They can be added later as
needed.
Also raise the maximum sizes of stringified image params, since they
can get really long.
If --demuxer-mkv-probe-start-time=no is used, and a seek is triggered on
start, then cluster_start will be 0, and the packet reading code will
print an error message about not finding valid data. This fixes itself
since it invokes the resync code, but it's still pretty ugly. Avoid this
by always initializing cluster_start.
This API isn't deprecated (yet?), but it's still inferior and harder to
use than avcodec_free_context().
Leave the call only in 1 case in af_lavcac3enc.c, where we apparently
seriously close and reopen the encoder for whatever reason.
- Fix a signed/unsigned comparison involving info.segment_uid.len
(doesn't actually warn here, but seems fragile). Code was previously
safe though.
- Match up all printf format strings with the respective value types,
using the *int*_t printf specifiers where necessary, and fixing
multiple signed/unsigned differences. Removed some casts that
otherwise may have truncated values.
- Fix a warning when initializing ebml_info.
On some platforms, unsigned long and uint64_t aren't the same type,
after all. As this is just a MP_VERBOSE message, risking truncation in
some cases seems OK.
Similar purpose as f34e1a0dee.
Somehow this is much more natural too, and needs less code.
This breaks runtime updates to duration. This could easily be fixed, but
no important demuxer does this anyway. Only demux_raw and demux_disc
might (the latter for BD/DVD). For the latter it might actually have
some importance when changing titles at runtime (I guess?), but guess
what, I don't care.
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.)
MaxCLL is the more authoritative source for the metadata we are
interested in. The use of mastering metadata is sort of a hack anyway,
since there's no clearly-defined relationship between the mastering peak
brightness and the actual content. (Unlike MaxCLL, which is an explicit
relationship)
Also move the parameter fixing to `fix_image_params`
I don't know if the avutil check is strictly necessary but I've included
it anyway to be on the safe side.
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.
This file is an leftover from when img_format.h was changed from using
the ancient FourCCs (based on Microsoft multimedia conventions) for
pixel formats to a simple enum. The remaining cases still inherently
used FourCCs for whatever reasons.
Instead of worrying about residual copyrights in this file, just move it
into code we don't want to relicense (the ancient Linux TV code). We
have to fix some other code depending on it. For the most part, we just
replace the MP_FOURCC macro with libavutil's MKTAG (although the macro
definition is exactly the same). In demux_raw, we drop some pre-defined
FourCCs, but it's not like it matters. (Instead of
--demuxer-rawvideo-format use --demuxer-rawvideo-mp-format.)
Indeed, FFmpeg found a way to maximize the misery around VfW/AVI-style
muxing. It appears it can mux a number of random codecs by using random
format tags. To make this even more stranger, it has a probably custom
GUID for signaling them, although for unknown reasons this is done only
"sometimes" (judging from FFmpeg's riffenc.c).
Whatever, it's not too hard to support it. Also apparently fix the
incorrect interpretation of extended formats - there's absolutely no
reason to assume they're always PCM. Instead, check for the correct
GUIDs. Also while we're at it, move the channel mask handling also to
codec_tag.c, so all WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE handling is in one place. (With
the normal wav header handling strangely still in demux_mkv.c.)
The case I was looking at (aac_latm muxing) decodes now. While I'm not
entirely sure about its correctness (libavformat has a weird
special-case for SBR), it certainly doesn't try to play it as PCM,
which is much of an improvement.
The extradata mess in the demux_mkv.c A_MS/ACM code path is unfortunate
and ugly, but has less impact than refactoring all the code to make
this specific case nicer.
Did I mention yet that I hate VfW-style mkv muxing?
Try to read header elements stored at the end of the file in the order
of their position. (It would be nicer if mkv simply told us a range of
elements to parse, but it doesn't do that.)
This can potentially reduce seek elements, although I didn't check if
any real files trigger this. The real contribution by this change is
that it does not defer reading the CUE index if we need to seek to the
end of the file anyway. This can actually avoid 2 seeks when opening a
file and --start is used, and the file has other headers elements at the
end of the file (like tags).
Most contributors have agreed. This claims it's based on gstreamer code,
but this was LGPL at the time (and still is). Contributors whose code
was removed were not accounted for. There are still some potentially
problematic cases:
06eee1b67 is potentially the most problematic case. Most of these
changes are gone due to mpv not using BITMAPINFOHEADER anymore. Some
of the other changes are rather trivial. If someone contests this and
claims that copyrightable changes are left, the original change can
simply be reverted.
62bfae140 has only 2 lines left: a "char *name;" struct field, and a
line that prints a message. All other code was removed. The parsing code
in particular was made declarative, which replaced reading this element
explicitly (and other elements, see 1b22101c77). I'm putting the log
message under HAVE_GPL, but I don't think the declaration is
copyrightable, or the mere concept of reading this element. Redoing the
other 2 lines of code would result in the same program text.
d41e860ba was applied by someone who (potentially) disagreed. The patch
itself is from someone who did agree, though. It's unknown whether the
applier changed the patch. But it seems unlikely, and the change was

Fixes seeking with:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=497889
Haali also ignores the element's contents, and interprets its presence
as the block not being a keyframe. FFmpeg is going to have an equivalent
change.
I don't know yet whether the affected sample is valid - a reference
timestamp of 0 doesn't make too much sense to me.
TrueHD is a fucked up audio codec with extremely small frame sizes. Some
of these frames start with full headers, which are usually marked as
keyframes, and from which decoding can be started (or at least that's
what you'd expect).
So for such tracks we should probably trust the keyframe flags. Doesn't
really improve seek behavior, though.
Some files have audio tracks with packets that do not have a keyframe
flag set at all. I don't think there's any audio codec which actually
needs keyframe flags, so always assume an audio packet is a keyframe
(which, in Matroska terminology, means it can start decoding from that
packet).
The file in question had these set:
| + Multiplexing application: Lavf57.56.100 at 313
| + Writing application: Lavf57.56.100 at 329
Garbage produced by garbage...
There are other such files produced by mkvmerge, though. It's not
perfectly sure whether these have been produced by FFmpeg as well
(mkvmerge often trusts the information in the source file, even if it's
wrong - so other samples could have been remuxed from FFmpeg).
Fixes#3920.
Implementation-wise, the values from the demuxer/codec header are merged
with the values from the decoder such that the former are used only
where the latter are unknown (0/auto).
Matroska actually has lots of colorimetry metadata that video tracks can
use, including mastering metadata (HDR signal peak) etc.
This commit adds the EBML definitions and parses the most basic fields.
Note that nothing uses these fields yet, this commit is just adding the
necessary parsing and infrastructure.
Commit f72a900892 (and others) added support for ordered editions that
recursively refer to other ordered editions. However, this recursion
code incorrectly activated if the source files had ordered chapters
even if the main file only wanted to use them as raw video, resulting
in broken timeline info overall.
Ordered chapters can specify a ChapterSegmentEditionUID value if they
want to use a specific edition from a source file. Otherwise the
source is supposed to be used as a raw video file. The code checked
demuxer->matroska_data.num_ordered_chapters for an opened source file
to see whether it was using a recursive ordered edition, but demux_mkv
could enable a default ordered edition for the file using the normal
playback rules even if the main file had not specified any
ChapterSegmentEditionUID. Thus this incorrectly enabled recursion if a
source file had a default edition using ordered chapters. Check
demuxer->matroska_data.uid.edition instead, and ensure it's never set
if a file is opened without ChapterSegmentEditionUID.
Also fix what seems like a memory leak in demux_mkv.c.

Don't access MPOpts directly, and always use the new m_config.h
functions for accessing them in a thread-safe way.
The goal is eventually removing the mpv_global.opts field, and the
demuxer/stream-layer specific hack that copies MPOpts to deal with
thread-safety issues.
This moves around a lot of options. For one, we often change the
physical storage location of options to make them more localized,
but these changes are not user-visible (or should not be). For
shared options on the other hand it's better to do messy direct
access, which is worrying as in that somehow renaming an option
or changing its type would break code reading them manually,
without causing a compilation error.
...and ignore it. The main purpose is for retrieving per-track
replaygain tags. Other than that per-track tags are not used or accessed
by the playback core yet.
The demuxer infrastructure is still not really good with that whole
synchronization thing (at least in part due to being inherited from
mplayer's single-threaded architecture). A convoluted mechanism is
needed to transport the tags from demuxer thread to user thread. Two
factors contribute to the complexity: tags can change during playback,
and tracks (i.e. struct sh_stream) are not duplicated per thread.
In particular, we update the way replaygain tags are retrieved. We first
try to use per-track tags (common in Matroska) and global tags
(effectively formats like mp3). This part fixes#3405.
Remove the explicit whitelisting of formats for refresh seeks. Instead,
check whether the packet position is somewhat reliable during demuxing.
If there are packets without position, or the packet position is not
monotonically increasing, then do not use them for refresh seeks.
This does not make sure of some requirements, such as deterministic
seeks. If that happens, mpv will mess up a bit on stream switching.
Also, add another method that uses DTS to identify packets, and prefer
it to the packet position method. Even if there's a demuxer which
randomizes packet positions, it hardly can do that with DTS. The DTS
method is not always available either, though. Some formats do not have
a DTS, and others are not always strictly monotonic (possibly due to
libavformat codec parsing and timestamp determination issues).
I've got a broken webm that fails to seek correctly with "--start=0".
The problem is that every index entry points to 1 byte before cluster
start (!!!). demux_mkv tries to resync to the next cluster, but since it
already has read 2 bytes with ebml_read_id(), it doesn't get the first
cluster, but the following one. Actually, it can be any amount of bytes
from 1-4, whatever happens to look valid at this essentially random byte
position.
Improve this by resyncing from the original position, instead of the one
after the EBML element ID has been attempted to be read.
The file shows the following headers:
| + Muxing application: google at 177
| + Writing application: google at 186
Indeed, the file was downloaded with youtube-dl. I can only guess that
Google got it completely wrong.
Now it will always be able to seek back to the start, even if the index
is sparse or misses the first entry.
This can be achieved by reusing the logic for incremental index
generation (for files with no index), and start time probing (for making
sure the first block is always indexed).
This reverts commit 503c6f7fd6.
There are situations where some decoders (MF apparently) always require
a timestamp. Also, this makes bitrate estimation more granular than
necessary. It seems it's better to try to detect fiels with broken
default durations explicitly instead. Or maybe something should be
added to smooth audio timestamps after filters.
This reverts commit af66fa8fa5.
The reverted commit caused AVCodecContext.channel_layout to be set,
while requesting stereo downmix will make libavcodec output a stupid
message:
ac3: Channel layout '5.1' with 6 channels does not match specified number of channels 2: ignoring specified channel layout
The same happens with --demuxer=lavf (without this change too).
I'm not quite sure what acrobatics are required to shut up libavcodec,
but for now revert the commit. It was a rather minor, almost cosmetic
issue, which I consider less important than clean CLI terminal output.
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.
Commit 943f76e6, which already tried this, was very stupid: it didn't
actually override the samplerate for Opus, but overrode it for all
codecs other than Opus. And even then, it failed to use the overridden
samplerate. (Sigh...)
I think the conclusion is that AV_PKT_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES is misdesigned
(at least for some formats), and an alternative mechanism using
durations would be better. (Combining it with a proper timebase would
keep sample-accuracy.)
FFmpeg can generate such files. It's unclear whether they're allowed by
Matroska. mkvinfo shows packet timestamps in both forms (one of them
must be a bug), and at last libavformat's demuxer treats timestamps
as signed.
This is mainly a refactor. I'm hoping it will make some things easier
in the future due to cleanly separating codec metadata and stream
metadata.
Also, declare that the "codec" field can not be NULL anymore. demux.c
will set it to "" if it's NULL when added. This gets rid of a corner
case everything had to handle, but which rarely happened.
Always preroll by default if the cue (index) information indicates
overlapping subtitles.
Increase the amount of maximum data it will skip to get such subtitles
to 10 seconds. Since the index information can reliably tell whether
reading earlier is needed, the maximum should be rarely actually used,
thus we can set it high. On the other hand, the "old" prerolling
mechanism always has to skip the maximum amount of data; thus the method
using the index gets its own option to control the maximum amount of
data to skip.
(As more and more files With newer mkvtoolnix versions are muxed, and
with this new and hopefully sane default established, these options can
probably be removed in the future.)
The demuxer infrastructure was originally single-threaded. To make it
suitable for multithreading (specifically, demuxing and decoding on
separate threads), some sort of tripple-buffering was introduced. There
are separate "struct demuxer" allocations. The demuxer thread sets the
state on d_thread. If anything changes, the state is copied to d_buffer
(the copy is protected by a lock), and the decoder thread is notified.
Then the decoder thread copies the state from d_buffer to d_user (again
while holding a lock). This avoids the need for locking in the
demuxer/decoder code itself (only demux.c needs an internal, "invisible"
lock.)
Remove the streams/num_streams fields from this tripple-buffering
schema. Move them to the internal struct, and protect them with the
internal lock. Use accessors for read access outside of demux.c.
Other than replacing all field accesses with accessors, this separates
allocating and adding sh_streams. This is needed to avoid race
conditions. Before this change, this was awkwardly handled by first
initializing the sh_stream, and then sending a stream change event. Now
the stream is allocated, then initialized, and then declared as
immutable and added (at which point it becomes visible to the decoder
thread immediately).
This change is useful for PR #2626. And eventually, we should probably
get entirely of the tripple buffering, and this makes a nice first step.
MPlayer traditionally always used the display aspect ratio, e.g. 16:9,
while FFmpeg uses the sample (aka pixel) aspect ratio.
Both have a bunch of advantages and disadvantages. Actually, it seems
using sample aspect ratio is generally nicer. The main reason for the
change is making mpv closer to how FFmpeg works in order to make life
easier. It's also nice that everything uses integer fractions instead
of floats now (except --video-aspect option/property).
Note that there is at least 1 user-visible change: vf_dsize now does
not set the display size, only the display aspect ratio. This is
because the image_params d_w/d_h fields did not just set the display
aspect, but also the size (except in encoding mode).
This is another regression of the recently added start time probing. If
a seek is executed after opening the file (but before reading any
packets), the first block is discarded instead of indexed. If there are
no other keyframes in the file, seeking will fail completely.
Fix it by seeking to the cluster start if there aren't any index entries
yet. This will read the skipped packet again.
Fixes#2498.
While it seemed like a pretty good idea at first, it's just a dead end
and works only in the simplest cases. While it may or may not help
slightly with audio sync mode, the display-sync mode already compensates
this in a better way. The main issue is that timestamps at this layer
are not in order, so it can look at single timestamps only.
MKV files can very well start with timestamps other than 0. While mpv
has support for such files in general, and demux_lavf enables this
feature, demux_mkv didn't export a start time.
Implement this by simply reading the first cluster timestamp. This in
turn is done by reading 1 block. While we don't need the block for this
prupose at all, it's the easiest way to get the cluster timestamp read
correctly without code duplication. In theory this could be wrong, and
a packet could start at a much later time, but in practice this won't
happen.
This commit also adds an option to disable this feature. It's not
documented because nobody should use it. (But I happen to have a need
for this.)
This affects the subtitle preroll mode during seeking. It could matter
somewhat with insane files with ten-thousands of subtitle events, which
now seem to pop up, and will avoid packet queue overflow.
Add a simplistic heuristic for detecting broken indexes. This includes
indexes with very few elements (apparently libavformat sometimes writes
such indexes, or used to), and indexes with broken timestamps.
The latter was apparently produced by very old HandBrake versions:
| + Muxing application: libmkv 0.6.1.2
| + Writing application: HandBrake 0.9.1
These broken files seem to be common enough that libavformat added a
workaround for them in 2008 (and maybe again in 2015). Apparently all
timestamps are multiplied with the file's tc_scale twice, and FFmpeg
attempts to fix them. We should throw away the whole thing.
Actually, this never happened, because there's logic for ignoring
duplicate header elements (which includes the seek index). This is
mostly for robustness and readability.
This doesn't work too well if sections of the file change to a different
framerate. It lowers our chances to guess the correct FPS in the display
sync code.
For normal playback, this (probably) doesn't help that much anyway,
except that the "estimated-vf-fps" property will regress in the simplest
mkv case. This will be fixed with the next commit.
The now disabled code will probably be removed; it's not useful anymore.
Handle a relatively recently introduced hack, that allows FLAC audio to
have arbitrary channel layouts, instead of just the predefined fixed
ones. This is actually supported by FFmpeg, but since the demuxer
(instead of the decoder) handles this in FFmpeg, we need to add special-
code to our mkv demuxer.
(The way FFmpeg does this seems a bit backwards, since now every demuxer
for a format that can handle FLAC needs to contain this logic as well.)
The FLAC hack is relatively terrible: we need to parse the FLAC headers,
look for a VorbisComment, parse the VorbisComment, and then retrieve
the magic WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK entry. But the hack is
officially endorsed, as the official FLAC tools use it. (Although I
couldn't find a trace of it in the format specification. Should I be
surprised?)
Extend the --demuxer-mkv-probe-video-duration behavior to work with
files that are partial and are missing an index. Do this by finding a
cluster 10MB before the end of the file, and if that fails, just read
the entire file. This is actually pretty trivial to do and requires only
5 lines of code.
Also add a mode that always reads the entire file to estimate the video
duration.
If the EditionFlagOrdered is set, chapters without ChapterTimeEnd make
no sense. Ordered chapters will play the chapters in the order they
appear, but will play the ranges the chapters cover. So if the end time
is missing, the range is incomplete and it's not clear what should be
played. If you assume the start of the next chapter as end time, the
ordered flag will have no observable effect, so that's not a useful
assumption.
This fixes playback of a file which (apparently) had the
EditionFlagOrdered set accidentally, with normal chapters.
At least Matroska files have a "forced" flag (in addition to the
"default" flag). Export this flag. Treat it almost like the default
flag, but with slightly higher priority.
The "FrameRate" element is probably deprecated (it's greyed out in the
"spec", and described as "Informational only" in bold). Normally files
use DefaultDuration. In fact, the FrameRate field was preferred over
DefaultDuration for determining framerate if present. Do not do this and
rely on DefaultDuration only.
Also, if no framerate is set, do not assume PAL (25 FPS). Such a
fallback makes little sense and will cause more problems than it solves.
Use char* for strings instead of bstr (data ptr + length pair). Matroska
actually (probably) allows "padding" strings with \0 bytes, so using
normal C strings instead of byte strings is more appropriate.
MPlayer traditionally had completely separate sh_ structs for
audio/video/subs, without a good way to share fields. This meant that
fields shared across all these headers had to be duplicated. This commit
deduplicates essentially the last remaining duplicated fields.
Always use the already existing extradata[_len] variable, instead of the
awkward switch between manually changed extradata and falling back to
passing through extradata at the end.
The only decoders I could find and which (possibly) require this field
are codecs which can be used via VfW only, and realaudio sipr. For VfW
we still passthrough this field.
Native Matroska codec support has to map the Matroska codec IDs to
libavcodec ones, and also has to undo codec-specific Matroska
strangeness, such as restoring AAC extradata and realaudio handling. The
VfW codec support doesn't need it, because AVI maps well enough to
libavcodec conventions (possibly because AVI was a dominant codec when
libavcodec was created). But there's still some need for generic codec
handling, such as enabling parsers and messing with various codec
parameters.
Separate these two, and move the parts which are guaranteed not to be
needed by VfW to the if-else tree that handles the VfW case
("A_MS/ACM"), making the cases exclusive.
(This should probably be done more radically, since it's very unlikely
that we should or have to mess with the VfW parameters at all - they
should just be passed through to the decoder.)
This removes the last traces of the old MPlayer FourCC-based codec
mapping code. Forcing all codec IDs through a FourCC table and then
back to codec names was confusing at best, so this is a nice cleanup.
Handling of PCM (non-VfW case) is redone to some degree.
Handling of AC3 is moved below realaudio handling, since "A_REAL/DNET"
is apparently AC3, and we must not skip realaudio-specific handling.
(It seems unlikely that anything would actually break, but on the other
hand I don't have any A_REAL/DNET samples for testing.)
Instead of explicitly matching all the specific AAC codec names, just
match them all as prefix.
Some codecs don't need special handling other than their mapping
entries, so they fall away (like Vorbis and Opus).
The prores check in mkv_parse_and_add_packet() is not strictly related
to this, but is done for consistency with the wavpack check above.
The existing code avoided doing this for some codecs. I see no point in
this, and it seems the original reason this exists was due to some
cleanup in 2007. libavformat doesn't do this. So just drop it.
It's well possible that we've always ended up invoking the
AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG1VIDEO codec, but it's hard to tell. Mangling everything
through FourCCs (and then back) makes it hard to analyze. Also,
libavformat's Matroska demuxer uses AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG2VIDEO here, so it
should be quite safe to do anyway.
Inherited from MPlayer times, we used FourCCs to identify video codecs.
This was later changed to libavcodec codec names (which made life a
whole lot simpler). But demux_mkv still uses FourCCs a lot.
Change this for video. It's pretty simple, because some preparation was
done in the past. We just have to replace some "internal" FourCCs with
different handling.
One potentially complicated issue is that there is no natural way to
set the sh->format (AVCodecContext.codec_tag) field anymore. Most
decoders do not need it, though mjpeg is an exception.
Note that the AVI compatibility code still requires codec mappings, but
these are provided by FFmpeg. Also, the audio code is not changed.
For the MKV_V_MPEG2 -> mpeg1video thing see next commit.
The options don't change, but they're now declared and used privately by
demux_mkv.c. This also brings with it a minor refactor of the subpreroll
seek handling - merge the code from playloop.c into demux_mkv.c. The
change in demux.c is pretty much equivalent as well.
This change allows forward seeking even if there are no more video
keyframes in forward direction. This helps with files that e.g. encode
cover art as a single video frame (within a _real_ video stream - ffmpeg
seems to like to produce such files). Seeking backwards will still jump
to the nearest video frame, so this improvement has limited use.
The old code didn't do this because of the logic the min_diff variable
followed. Instead of somehow using the timestamp of the last packet read
for min_diff, use the first index entry for it. This actually makes it
fall back to the first/last index entry as the (removed) comment claims.
Note that last_pts is basically random at this point (because the
demuxer can be far ahead of playback position), so this didn't make
sense in the first place.
Check async abort notification. libavformat already do something
equivalent.
Before this commit, the demuxer could enter resync mode (and print silly
warning messages) when the stream stopped returning data because of an
abort.
A user reported a webm stream that couldn't be played. The issue was
that this stream 1. was on an unseekable HTTP connection, and 2. had a
SeekHead element (wtf?). The code reading the SeekHead marked the
element as unreadable too early: although you can't seek in the stream,
reading the header elements after the SeekHead read them anyway. Marking
them as unreadable only after the normal header reading fixes this.
(The way the failing stream was setup was pretty retarded: inserting
these SeekHead elements makes absolutely no sense for a stream that
cannot be seeked.)
Fixes#1656.
This warning wasn't overly helpful in the past, and warned against
perfectly fine code. But at least with recent gcc versions, this is the
warning that complains about assignments in if expressions (why???), so
we want to enable it.
Also change all the code this warning complains about for no reason.
Should behave about the same, but reduces code some duplication with
seeking and reading a header element pointed to by a SeekHead. It also
makes behavior with incomplete files slightly better.
Remove coded_width and coded_height. This was originally added in commit
fd7dde40, when BITMAPINFOHEADER was killed. The separate fields became
redundant in commit e68f4be1. Remove them (nothing passed to the
decoders actually changes with _this_ commit).
The Matroska timeline code was the only thing which still used the
demuxer.type field. This field explicitly identifies a demuxer
implementation. The purpose of the Matroska timeline code was to reject
files that are not Matroska. But it already forces the Matroska format,
meaning loading will explicitly only use the Matroska demuxer. If the
demuxer can't open the file, no other demuxer will be tried, and thus
checking the field is redundant.
The change in demux_mkv_timeline.c removes the if condition, and
unindents the if body.
