Commit 2b07d3eb merged progbar and OSD text renderer into one ASS_Track,
but it confused the styles. Specifically, if both progbar and OSD are
visible, the create_ass_track() call made by the progbar code will reset
the style adjusted by the OSD text code.
Change create_ass_track() not to add any styles. Instead let the caller
manage the styles. They are now referenced by name, and lazily added if
they don't exist yet. This is also much cleaner.
There was a somewhat obscure optimization in the OSD and subtitle
rendering path: if only the position of the sub-images changed, and not
the actual image data, uploading of the image data could be skipped. In
theory, this could speed up things like scrolling subtitles.
But it turns out that even in the rare cases subtitles have such scrolls
or axis-aligned movement, modern libass rarely signals this kind of
change. Possibly this is because of sub-pixel handling and such, which
break this.
As such, it's a worthless optimization and just introduces additional
complexity and subtle bugs (especially in cases libass does the
opposite: incorrectly signaling a position change only, which happened
before). Remove this optimization, and rename bitmap_pos_id to
change_id.
Update options like --sub-text-margin-y at runtime. These are somewhat
of a problem, because ass_set_selective_style_override() (intentionally)
does not override them. This should be fixed in libass (by providing
additional override modes), but for now this will do.
Also change the signature of mp_ass_configure(), so we can get access to
the track.
Additionally, drop the redundant setting of the style Alignment (it's
overwritten by mp_ass_set_style()).
See #1622 (again).
Basically abuse the style override mechanism meant for ASS
(mp_ass_set_style()) to update text subtitle styling at runtime too.
This even has the advantage that the style will be overridden, even if
the text subtitle converted (like sd_lavc_conv.c) dares to add a fixed
style in the styles section.
Probably helps with #1622.
Now --ass-use-margins doesn't apply to normal subtitles anymore. This is
probably the inverse from the mpv behavior users expected so far, and
thus a breaking change, so rename the option, that the user at least has
a chance to lookup the option and decide whether the new behavior is
wanted or not.
The basic idea here is:
- plain text subtitles should have a certain useful defalt behavior,
like actually using margins
- ASS subtitles should never be broken by default
- ASS subtitles should look and behave like plaintext subtitles if
the --ass-style-override=force option is used
This also subtly changes --sub-scale-with-window and adds the --ass-
scale-with-window option. Since this one isn't so important, don't
bother with compatibility.
You can set in which "corner" the OSD and subtitles are shown. I'd
prefer it a bit more general (so you could set the alignment using
a factor), but the libass API does not provide this.
--sub-scale-by-window=no attempts to keep subs always at the same pixel
size.
The implementation is a bit all over the place, because it compensates
already done scaling by an inverse scale factor, but it will probably do
its job.
Fixes#1424. (The semantics and name of --sub-scale-with-window are
kept, and this adds a new option - the name is confusingly similar, but
it's actually analogue to --osd-scale-by-window.)
Now requires newest libass git. Since this feature wasn't part of a
libass release yet, I'm not bothering making the mpv code compatible
with as how it was previously implemented (it will just be disabled
with any older libass).

Search $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS for config files.
This also negates the need to have separate user and global variants of
mp_find_config_file()

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.
(The old "force" choice of that option is renamed to "force-default".)
This allows overriding native ASS script subtitle styles with the style
provided by the --sub-text-* options (like --sub-text-font etc.). This
is disabled by default, and needs to be explicitly enabled with the
--ass-style-override=force option and input property.
This uses in fact exactly the same options (--sub-text-*) and semantics
as the ones used to configure unstyled text subtitles.
It's recommended to combine this with this in the mpv config file:
ass-force-style="ScaledBorderAndShadow=1" # work around dumb libass behavior
Also, adding a key binding to toggle this behavior should be added,
because overriding can easily break:
L cycle ass-style-override
This would cycle override behavior on Shift+L and allows quickly
disabling/enabling style overrides.
Note: ASS should be considered a vector format rather than a subtitle
format. There is no easy or reliable way to determine whether the style
of a given subtitle event can be changed without destroying visuals or
not. This patch relies on a simple heuristic, which often works and
often breaks.
The --ass-styles option is implemented by calling ass_read_styles().
This function can take a codepage (so libass will use iconv to convert
it). This was implemented before our --subcp option was changed, and
this code was not updated. Now libass fails opening iconv, because
--subcp is not always (and not by default) a valid iconv codepage.
Just always pass NULL, which means the file passed to --ass-styles must
be in UTF-8. The --ass-styles option is a fringe option anyway (and will
destroy your subtitles), so having codepage support for it isn't
important at all.
There's a single mp_msg() in path.c, but all path lookup functions seem
to depend on it, so we get a rat-tail of stuff we have to change. This
is probably a good thing though, because we can have the path lookup
functions also access options, so we could allow overriding the default
config path, or ignore the MPV_HOME environment variable, and such
things.
Also take the chance to consistently add talloc_ctx parameters to the
path lookup functions.
Also, this change causes a big mess on configfiles.c. It's the same
issue: everything suddenly needs a (different) context argument. Make it
less wild by providing a mp_load_auto_profiles() function, which
isolates most of it to configfiles.c.
Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
The OSD style settings depend on the PlayRes, simply because all style
values are implicitly scaled by the PlayResY in libass. Also, the OSC
changes the PlayResY in certain situations, so something could go wrong.
But not sure if this actually matters in practice.
This simplifies things, although it is slightly less efficient (probably
uses a bit more memory).
This also happens to fix that the OSC dropped the libass cache on every
frame.
This is pretty much a hack for the OSC. It will allow it to rely on a
somewhat predictable style, instead of having to overwrite all user
OSD settings manually with override tags.
demux_libass.c allows us to make subtitle format detection part of the
normal file loading process. libass has no probe function, but trying to
load the start of a file (the first 4 KB) is good enough. Hope that
libass can even handle random binary input gracefully without printing
stupid log messages, and that the libass parser doesn't accept too many
non-ASS files as input.
This doesn't handle the -subcp option correctly yet. This will be fixed
later.
Seems like a completely unnecessary complication. Instead, always add a
1 byte padding (could be extended if a caller needs it), and clear it.
Also add some documentation. There was some, but it was outdated and
incomplete.
This means subassconvert.c is split in sd_srt.c and sd_microdvd.c. Now
this code is involved in the sub conversion chain like sd_movtext is.
The invocation of the converter in sd_ass.c is removed.
This requires some other changes to make the new sub converter code work
with loading external subtitles. Until now, subtitles loaded via
subreader.c was assumed to be in plaintext, or for some formats, in ASS
(except in -no-ass mode). Then these were added to an ASS_Track. Change
this so that subtitles are always in their original format (as far as
decoders/converters for them are available), and turn every sub event
read by subreader.c as packet to the dec_sub.c subtitle chain.
This removes differences between external/demuxed and -ass/-no-ass code
paths further.
This was once needed to handle subtitle packages coming from a demuxer,
where seeking back might repeat previous events. This doesn't happen
anymore, and this code is used to convert complete files. So if there
are any duplicate lines, they must have been duplicated in the file,
and the old subtitle renderer would have shown them twice as well.
Today checking for duplicate events happens in sd_ass.c (and has been
for a while). There's no reason to keep this code, and it actually
causes trouble. Loading big subtitle files is extremely slow because
this makes adding n subtitles O(n^2).
These require bleeding edge libass (latest git version), and will be
ignored otherwise.
I'm not sure about the blur factor and scaling. The ASS/VSFilter
semantics for blur scaling are a bad mess. Might require further
investigation.
Before this commit, the --osd-* options (like --osd-font-size etc.)
configured both the OSD and subtitle font. Make them separate, and add
--sub-text-* options (like --sub-text-size etc.). Now --osd-* affects
the OSD font only, and --sub-text-* unstyled text subtitles only.
The warnings in demux_mpg were silenced by additional no-operation
casts.
A variable in ass_mp was used only for some versions of libass; now the
declaration is in that version #ifdef too to avoid a compiler warning.
Add `mp_find_config_file` to search different known paths and use that in
ass_mp to look for the fontconfig configuration file.
Some incidental changes spawned by this feature where:
* Buffer allocation for the strings containing the paths is now performed
with talloc. All of the allocations are done on a NULL context, but it still
improves readability of the code.
* Move the OSX function for lookup inside of a bundle: this code path was
currently not used by the bundle generated with `make osxbundle`. The plan
is to use it again in a future commit to get a fontconfig config file.
