Also clarify the semantics.
It seems --idx didn't do anything. Possibly it used to change how the
now removed legacy demuxers like demux_avi used to behave. Or maybe
it was accidental.
--forceidx basically becomes --index=force. It's possible that new
index modes will be added in the future, so I'm keeping it
extensible, instead of e.g. creating --force-index.
Probably "needed" to get the correct alignment, although I'm not aware
of actual breakages or performance issues.
In fact we should probably always just allocate AVPackets, but for now
use the simple fix.
FFmpeg requires a bullshit padding after each input buffer, and they
just increased that padding without warning and without ABI or API bump.
We need this only in one file (although mp_image hardcodes something
similar, for which no FFmpeg API define is available), so drop our own
define.
While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
Convert all these commands to properties. (Except tv_last_channel, not
sure what to do with this.) Also, internally, don't access stream
details directly, but dispatch commands with stream ctrls.
Many of the new properties are a bit strange, because they're write-
only. Also remove some OSD output these commands produced, because I
couldn't be bothered to port these.
In general, this makes everything much cleaner, and will also make it
easier to e.g. move the demuxer to its own thread.
Don't bother updating input.conf, but changes.rst documents how old
commands map to the new ones.
Mostly untested, due to lack of hardware.
In most places where af_fmt2bits is called to get the bits/sample, the
result is immediately converted to bytes/sample. Avoid this by getting
bytes/sample directly by introducing af_fmt2bps.
The i_bps members of the sh_audio and dev_video structs are mostly used
for displaying the average audio and video bitrates. Keeping them in
bits-per-second avoids truncating them to bytes-per-second and changing
them back lateron.
Stop using it in most places, and prefer STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE. The
advantage is that always the correct size will be used. There can be no
doubt anymore whether the end_pos value is outdated (as it happens often
with files that are being downloaded).
Some streams still use end_pos. They don't change size, and it's easier
to emulate STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE using end_pos, instead of adding a
STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE implementation to these streams.
Make sure int64_t is always used for STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE (it was
uint64_t before).
Remove the seek flags mess, and replace them with a seekable flag. Every
stream must set it consistently now, and an assertion in stream.c checks
this. Don't distinguish between streams that can only be forward or
backwards seeked, since we have no such stream types.
stream.start_pos was needed for optical media only, and (apparently) not
for very good reasons. Just get rid of it.
For stream_dvd, we don't need to do anything. Byte seeking was already
removed from it earlier.
For stream_cdda and stream_vcd, emulate the start_pos by offsetting the
stream pos as seen by the rest of mpv.
The bits in discnav.c and loadfile.c were for dealing with the code
seeking back to the start in demux.c. Handle this differently by
assuming the demuxer is always initialized with the stream at start
position, and instead seek back if initializing the demuxer fails.
Remove the --sb option, which worked by modifying stream.start_pos. If
someone really wants this option, it could be added back by creating a
"slice" stream (actually ffmpeg already has such a thing).
Drop: sami, vplayer, rt, pjs, mpsub, aqt, jacosub. None of these seem
to be actually in use, except sami. Sami is very complex, and the
results subreader produces are not very useful.
For all these formats, there are still parsers in FFmpeg. We remove the
subreader implementation, because it might contain security relevant
bugs and such. (This is old, unmaintained C string parsing code, written
in times where absolutely nobody cared about security. The kind of
awesome code.)
We keep the other formats, because they're (mostly) commonly used and
relatively simple, for UTF16 support (still missing in FFmpeg), and for
the sake of Libav.
Caused failure to detect .pls files, because they were misdetected as
m3u. The problem is that "forcing playlist files" and "forcing a
specific playlist format" are not really treated separate, and in both
cases p->force is set to true. This made m3u detect all files as m3u
if --playlist was used. So correctly check whether the file format is
actually being probed or not.
Because the http playlist URL I had for testing claimed to be m3u by
file extension and mime type, but didn't have the header.
Note that this actually changes behavior only in the case the format is
detected by mime type. Then p->force will be set before calling the
parser, and the header becomes optional.
mp3 has a hack lowering the probescore for format detection. This is
because detecting mp3s is hard due to their nature, and the fact that
ID3v2 tags are sometimes several megabytes big.
When playing mp3 from network, the mime-type is usually set, and that
matches the format hack entry meant for webradios, overriding the normal
mp3 entry. This can lead to network mp3s not being detected. Lower the
network case to the same probescore as on-disk mp3s. The difference is
that for network mp3s, we don't load the full probe-buffer, and we lower
the amount of audio the demuxer will read to collect data on opening
(0.5 seconds instead of typically 5 seconds).
Also remove MSGL_SMODE and friends.
Note: The indent in options.rst was added to work around a bug in
ReportLab that causes the PDF manual build to fail.
VP9 packets can contain 2 frames in some video packets (from which 1
frame is invisible). Due to a design mismatch between libvpx and the
libavcodec vp9 decoder, libvpx can take the "full" packets, but lavc vp9
can not. The consequence is that we have to split the packets if we want
to feed them to the lavc codec.
This is not entirely correct yet: timestamp handling is missing.
--demuxer=lavf and ffmpeg native utilities have the same problem. We can
fix this only once the ffmpeg VP9 parser is fixed.
For some reason, some files appear to have broken mp3 packets, or at
least in a form that libavcodec can't deal with. The audio in the sample
file in question could not be decoded using libavcodec.
The problematic file had variable packet sizes, and the libavcodec
decoder kept printing "mp3: Header missing" for each packet it was fed.
Remuxing with mkvmerge fixes the problem. The mp3 data is probably not
VBR, and remuxing resulted in fixed-size mp3 frames. So I don't know why
the sample file was muxed this way - it might just be incorrect.
The sample file had "libmkv 0.6.4" as MuxingApp (although I could not
get mkvinfo to print this element, maybe the file uses an incorrect
element ID), and "HandBrake 0.9.4" as WritingApp.
Note that the libmpg123 decoder does not have any issues with it. It's
probably more robust, because libmpg123 was made to decode whole mp3
files, not just single frames.
Fixes issue #742.
glob() is mandated by POSIX. For the only non-POSIX platform we support,
Windows, we have our own replacement. So the ifdeffery is not needed.
Still leave the checks in the configure scripts, because they have to
decide whether to compile the replacement or not. (Although this could
be special cased to mingw-only, the wscript seems to make this hard.)
glob-win.c wasn't big, so it was easier to rewrite it. The new version
supports Unicode, handles directories properly, sorts the output and
puts all its allocations in the same talloc context to simplify the
implementation of globfree.
Notably, the old glob had error checking code, but didn't do anything
with the errors since the error reporting code was commented out. The
new glob doesn't copy this behaviour. It just treats errors as if there
were no more matching files, which shouldn't matter for mpv, since it
ignores glob errors too.
To match the other Windows I/O helper functions, the definition is moved
to osdep/io.h.
I hate tabs.
This replaces all tabs in all source files with spaces. The only
exception is old-makefile. The replacement was made by running the
GNU coreutils "expand" command on every file. Since the replacement was
automatic, it's possible that some formatting was destroyed (but perhaps
only if it was assuming that the end of a tab does not correspond to
aligning the end to multiples of 8 spaces).
This was broken at some unknown point (even before the recent cache
changes). There are several problems:
- stream_dvd returning a random stream position, confusing the cache
layer (cached data and stream data lost their 1:1 corrospondence by
position)
- this also confused the mechanism added with commit a9671524, which
basically triggered random seeking (although this was not the only
problem)
- demux_lavf requesting seeks in the stream layer, which resulted in
seeks in the cache or the real stream
Fix this by completely removing byte-based seeking from stream_dvd. This
already works fine for stream_dvdnav and stream_bluray. Now all these
streams do time-based seeks, and pretend to be infinite streams of data,
and the rest of the player simply doesn't care about the stream byte
positions.
Instead, always use the mpctx->chapters array. Before this commit, this
array was used only for ordered chapters and such, but now it's always
populated if there are chapters.
Stream-level chapters (like DVD etc.) did potentially not have
timestamps for each chapter, so STREAM_CTRL_SEEK_TO_CHAPTER and
STREAM_CTRL_GET_CURRENT_CHAPTER were needed to navigate chapters. We've
switched everything to use timestamps and that seems to work, so we can
simplify the code and remove this old mechanism.
Instead of parsing the ASS file in demux_libass.c and trying to pass the
ASS_Track to the subtitle renderer, just read all file data in
demux_libass.c, and let the subtitle renderer pass the file contents to
ass_process_codec_private(). (This happens to parse full files too.)
Makes the code simpler, though it also relies harder on the (messy)
probe logic in demux_libass.c.
The mplayer decoder (spudec.c) actually handled this. There was explicit
code for binary palettes (16 32 bit values), and the subtitle resolution
was handled by video resolution coincidentally matching the subtitle
resolution.
Whoever puts vobsub into mp4 should be punished.
Fixes the sample gundam_sample.mp4, closes github issue #547.
This skipped all audio packets before the first video key frame was
found. I'm not really sure why this would be needed; most likely it
isn't. So get rid of it. Even if audio packets are returned to the
player too soon, the player will sync the audio start to the video
start by decoding and discarding audio data.
Note that although the removed code was just added in the previous
commit, it merely kept the old keeping semantics which demux_mkv
always followed. This commit removes these special semantics.
v_skip_to_keyframe is set to true while non-keyframe video packets are
skipped. Until now, audio packets were also skipped when doing this. I
can't see any good reason why this would be done, but for now I want to
keep the old logic when audio+video seeks are done.
However, for audio-only mode, do proper seeking, which also fixes
behavior when trying to seek past the end of the file: playback is
terminated properly, instead of starting playback on the start of the
last cluster.
Note that a_no_timecode_check is used only for audio+video seek. I'm
not sure what this is needed for, but it might influence A/V sync after
seeking.
Trying to set a non-existent flag (like +keepside on Libav) causes
libavutil print an incomprehensible warning (something about eval;
probably the overengineered libavutil option parser tripping over the
'+' normally used for flags, and trying to interpret it as formula).
There's apparently no easy way to check for the existence of a flag,
so add some more ifdeffery to shut it up.
