The OSD bar is very annoying when seeking. Especially when the seeks
are very small, the OSD doesn't show any interesting information. The
exact seeking commands are a use case where the user definitely never
wants to see a seek bar.
Allow using the choice type (as it used for command line) for arguments
of input commands. Change the magic integer arguments of some commands
(like seek) to use choices instead. The old numeric values are still
allowed (but only those which made sense before, not arbitrary
integers).
In order to do this, remove the input.c specific types (like
MP_CMD_ARG_INT) completely and specify commands using the m_option
types.
Also, add the special choice "-" to some arguments. It's supposed to
signify the default value, so arguments can be easily skipped. Maybe the
choice option should recognize this and not change the previous value,
but we'll leave this for later.
For now, leave compatibility integer values for all new choice
arguments, e.g. "0" maps to 0. We could let the choice option type do
this automatically, but we don't, because we want user input values and
internal mplayer values decoupled in general. The compatibility options
will be removed one day, too.
Also, remove optional args for strings - would require either annoying
additional code, or copying strings twice. It's not used, so remove it.
Previously, both the command parser and property expansion
(m_properties_expand_string) handled escapes with '\'. Move all escape
handling into the command parser, and remove it from the property code.
This removes the need to escape strings twice for commands that use
property expansion.
The command parser is practically rewritten: it uses m_option for the
actual parsing, and reduces hackish C-string handling.
Now it depends on the command whether a property wraps around, or stops
at min/max valid property value.
For practically all properties, it's quite unambiguous what the "switch"
command should have done, and there's technically no need to replace it
with these new commands. More over, most properties that cycle are
boolean anyway. But it seems more orthogonal to make the difference
explicit, rather than hardcoding it. Having different commands also
makes it more explicit to the user what these commands do, both just due
to the naming, and what wrapping policy is used. The code is simpler
too.
Replace --hardframedrop with --framedrop=hard. Rename the framedrop
property from "framedropping" to "framedrop" for the sake of making
command line options have the same name as their corresponding
property. Change the property to accept choice values instead of
numeric values.
Remove unused/forgotten auto_quality variable.
osd_show_[property_]text => show_text
osd_show_progression => show_progress
show_text, osd_show_property_text and osd_show_text both map to the
code for the previous osd_show_property_text. The only special thing
about osd_show_text is that you don't need to escape "$". Also,
unfortunately osd_show_property_text requires escaping things twice,
one time for the command parser, and the other time for the property
formatting code, while osd_show_text needed only one level of escaping.
Use "-" instead of "_" in property names. The intent is that property
names and options names should be the same (if they refer to the same
thing), and options use "-" as word separator.
Rename some other properties too, e.g. "switch_audio" -> "audio".
Add a way to translate the old property names to the new ones, similar
to the input command legacy bridge.
Update input.conf. Use the new property names, and don't use legacy
commands.
This is needed by demux_mpg (and possibly by demux_ts) for PCM playback.
The decoder does the mapping from MPEG headers to the actual PCM format,
and also unpacks sample data for 20/24 bit formats.
It can't be re-implemented, because this isn't supported by libass. The
-subalign option and the associated sub-align slave property did
nothing. Remove them.
The rawaudio demuxer had a rather hard to use way to set the audio
format with the --rawaudio=format=value option. The user had to pass a
numeric value, which then was set as wFormatTag member in the
WAVEFORMATEX header.
Make it use the mplayer audio format (the same as --af=format=value).
Add a new internal pseudo audio codec tag, which is hopefully unused,
which makes ad_pcm use the value in wFormatTag as internal mplayer
audio format.
Playing non-PCM formats is disabled. (At least AC3 can be played
directly.)
This was removed in commit 6a26b4a665. Add it back, because it was
needed by demuxer_rawaudio and for PCM audio with demuxers other than
demux_lavf. (In practice, this broke rawaudio and PCM-in-Matroska only.)
Unlike with raw video, there is no single raw audio "decoder" in
libavcodec. Instead of trying to mess raw audio input into ad_ffmpeg
using a table to map audio formats to the respective libavcodec
decoders, it seems advantageous to simply add back ad_pcm.
Remove VESA and FBDEV specific code that was forgotten when the
respective VOs were removed. Remove references to old or broken
stuff from example.conf.
Add a new slave property which switches the current Matroska edition.
Since each edition can define an entirely new timeline, switching the
edition will simply restart playback at the beginning of the file with
the new edition selected.
Add 'E' as new keybinding to step the edition property.
DVD titles are still separate. Apparently they work similarly, but I
don't have any multi-title DVDs for testing. Also, cdda (for audio CDs)
uses the same mechanism as DVDs to report a number of titles, so there
seems to be confusion what exactly this mechanism is supposed to do.
That's why the edition code is completely separate for now.
Remove demuxer.num_titles. It was just a rather useless cache for the
return value of the DVD titles related STREAM_CTRL.
One rather obscure corner case isn't taken care of: if the ordered
chapters file has file local options set, they are reset on playback
restart. This is unexpected, because edition switching is meant to
behave like seeking back to the beginning of the file.
Probably all of these are supported by libavcodec. Missing things can
be added back.
Also remove qtpalette.h. It was used by demux_mov.c, and should have
been deleted with commit 1fde09db6f.
When the internal mplayer MPEG demuxer was removed (commit 1fde09db),
the default demuxer when using dvdnav was set to libavformat. Now it
turns out that this doesn't work with libavformat. It will terminate
playback right after the audio runs out (instead of looping it like the
video, or whatever it's supposed to do). I'm not sure what exactly the
problem is, but since 1. even mplayer-svn can't handle DVD menus
directly (missing highlights), 2. DVD menus are essentially worthless,
and 3. I don't directly watch DVDs, don't bother with it and remove it.
For basic playback, there's still libdvdread support.
Also, use pkg-config for libdvdread, and drop support for in-tree
libdvdread. Remove support for in-tree libdvdcss as well.
The generic hardware pass-through decoder ad_spdif (imported from
mplayer-svn) was mistakenly prefered over the default decoder mpg123.
This is the same as mplayer-svn commit 34192.
The spidfmpa entry was marked as "untested", which for inconceivable
reasons is preferred over entries marked "working". (The probe order
is untested, working, buggy. Possibly to "force" untested codecs to be
tested?) I didn't know this behavior, and skipped the corresponding
mplayer-svn commit 34192, as it looked like it would move up the entry
in autoprobe order (not the reverse), which might have been slightly
dangerous, or at least not something we would have to bother with.
The only change in behavior the incorrect entry caused was that playing
a shoutcast mp3 stream displayed "inf" as time on the mplayer status
line, instead the time since joining the stream. (The same can be seen
when starting mplayer-svn with -ac spdifmpa,mpg123 .) I'm not sure why
this happens; I can only guess that when spdifmpa throws away header
data when it fails initializing, or messes up something else.

Teletext requires special OSD support. Because I can't even test
teletext, I can't restore support for it. Since teletext can be
considered ancient and obscure, and since it doesn't make sense to keep
the remaining teletext code without being able to use it, I'm removing
it.
This reverts commit c8b0f21154.
This was a very bad idea. It caused A/V desync with some crappy AVI
files, and upon inspecting ad_mad.c, it seems all hope is lost.
Go back to the prefering the mpg123 & libav codecs.
Summary:
- There is no playtree anymore. It's reduced to a simple list.
- Options are now always global. You can still have per-file options,
but these are optional and require special syntax.
- The slave command pt_step has been removed, and playlist_next
and playlist_prev added. (See etc/input.conf changes.)
This is a user visible incompatible change, and will break slave-mode
applications.
- The pt_clear slave command is renamed to playlist_clear.
- Playtree entries could have multiple files. This is not the case
anymore, and playlist entries have always exactly one entry. Whenever
something adds more than one file (like ASX playlists or dvd:// or
dvdnav:// on the command line), all files are added as separate
playlist entries.
Note that some of the changes are quite deep and violent. Expect
regressions.
The playlist parsing code in particular is of low quality. I didn't try
to improve it, and merely spent to least effort necessary to keep it
somehow working. (Especially ASX playlist handling.)
The playtree code was complicated and bloated. It was also barely used.
Most users don't even know that mplayer manages the playlist as tree,
or how to use it. The most obscure features was probably specifying a
tree on command line (with '{' and '}' to create/close tree nodes). It
filled the player code with complexity and confused users with weird
slave commands like pt_up.
Replace the playtree with a simple flat playlist. Playlist parsers that
actually return trees are changed to append all files to the playlist
pre-order.
It used to be the responsibility of the playtree code to change per-file
config options. Now this is done by the player core, and the playlist
code is free of such details.
Options are not per-file by default anymore. This was a very obscure and
complicated feature that confused even experienced users. Consider the
following command line:
mplayer file1.mkv file2.mkv --no-audio file3.mkv
This will disable the audio for file2.mkv only, because options are
per-file by default. To make the option affect all files, you're
supposed to put it before the first file.
This is bad, because normally you don't need per-file options. They are
very rarely needed, and the only reasonable use cases I can imagine are
use of the encode backend (mplayer encode branch), or for debugging. The
normal use case is made harder, and the feature is perceived as bug.
Even worse, correct usage is hard to explain for users.
Make all options global by default. The position of an option isn't
significant anymore (except for options that compensate each other,
consider --shuffle --no-shuffle).
One other important change is that no options are reset anymore if a
new file is started. If you change settings with slave mode commands,
they will not be changed by playing a new file. (Exceptions include
settings that are too file specific, like audio/subtitle stream
selection.)
There is still some need for per-file options. Debugging and encoding
are use cases that profit from per-file options. Per-file profiles (as
well as per-protocol and per-VO/AO options) need the implementation
related mechanisms to backup and restore options when the playback file
changes.
Simplify the save-slot stuff, which is possible because there is no
hierarchical play tree anymore. Now there's a simple backup field.
Add a way to specify per-file options on command line. Example:
mplayer f1.mkv -o0 --{ -o1 f2.mkv -o2 f3.mkv --} f4.mkv -o3
will have the following options per file set:
f1.mkv, f4.mkv: -o0 -o3
f2.mkv, f3.mkv: -o0 -o3 -o1 -o2
The options --{ and --} start and end per-file options. All files inside
the { } will be affected by the options equally (similar to how global
options and multiple files are handled). When playback of a file starts,
the per-file options are set according to the command line. When
playback ends, the per-file options are restored to the values when
playback started.
Most of these demuxers and decoders are provided in better form by
libav, while the mplayer builtin ones are essentially unmaintained. The
only legimitate use case for not using the libav ones was working around
libav bugs or bugs related to the way mplayer uses libav. Instead of
trying to keep dead code alive, development effort should go into
improving libav or the mplayer libav glue code.
Note that the libav demuxer have been preferred over the mplayer builtin
ones for a while in mplayer2. There were some exceptions: playing DVDs
with dvdnav or playing network sources. (That's because some stream
modules and network.c requested explicit file formats, such as
DEMUXER_TYPE_MPEG_PS, which mapped to builtin demuxers.) With this
commit, they are switched to use libav. One caveat is that the requested
format is not passed to libavformat, instead we rely on the auto probing
to select the correct libav demuxer (see code in demux_open_stream()).
Someone on the internet once told me that MAD is the best mp3 decoder
(and better than mpg123), so he must be right. I used to force mad in
my config file, but now I'm annoyed by the line "Forced audio codec"
that goes along with it.
Because I think that message is necessary and needed to discourage
users from doing stupid things, but I still want to get rid of this
message, I'm simply moving MAD up in the codec selection order.
(Please look away.)
Conflicts:
.gitignore
bstr.c
cfg-mplayer.h
defaultopts.c
libvo/video_out.c
The conflict in bstr.c is due to uau adding a bstr_getline function in
commit 2ba8b91a97. This function already existed in this branch.
While uau's function is obviously derived from mine, it's incompatible.
His function preserves line breaks, while mine strips them. Add a
bstr_strip_linebreaks function, fix all other uses of bstr_getline, and
pick uau's implementation.
In .gitignore, change vo_gl3_shaders.h to use an absolute path
additional to resolving the merge conflict.
Add support for using libavcodec decoders that do not have entries in
codecs.conf. This is currently only used with demux_lavf, and the
codec selection is based on codec_id returned by libavformat. Also
modify codec-related terminal output somewhat to make it use
information from libavcodec and avoid excessively long default output.
The new any-lavc-codec support is implemented with codecs.conf entries
that invoke vd_ffmpeg/ad_ffmpeg without directly specifying any
libavcodec codec name. In this mode, the decoders now instead select
the libavcodec codec based on codec_id previously set by demux_lavf
(if any). These new "generic" codecs.conf entries specify "status
buggy", so that they're tried after any specific entries with
higher-priority status.
Add new directive "anyinput" to codecs.conf syntax. This means the
entry will always match regardless of fourcc. This is used for the
above new codecs.conf entries (so the driver always gets to decide
whether to accept the input, and will fail init() if it can't find a
suitable codec in libavcodec). Remove parsing support for the obsolete
codecs.conf directive "cpuflags". This directive has not had any
effect and has not been used in default codecs.conf since many years
ago.
Shorten codec-related terminal output. When using libavcodec decoders,
show the libavcodec long_name field rather than codecs.conf "info"
field as the name of the codec. Stop showing the codecs.conf entry
name and "vfm/afm" name by default, as these are rarely needed;
they're now in verbose output only. Show "VIDEO:" line at VO
initialization rather than at demuxer open. This didn't really belong
in demuxer code; the new location may show more accurate values (known
after decoder has been opened) and works right if video track is
changed after initial demuxer open.
The vd.c changes (primarily done for terminal output changes) remove
round-to-even behavior from code setting dimensions based on aspect
ratio. I hope nothing depended on this; at least the even values were
not consistently guaranteed anyway, as the rounding code did not run
if the video file did not specify a nonzero aspect value.
The player can read codec mapping (codecs.conf) from an external file
or use embedded defaults. Before, the defaults were stored in the
player binary in the form of final already-parsed data structures.
Simplify things by storing the text of the codecs.conf file instead,
and parse that at runtime the same way an external file would be
parsed.
To create the previous parsed form, the build system first compiled a
separate binary named "codec-cfg", which parsed etc/codecs.conf and
then wrote the results as a C data structure that could be compiled
into the program. The new simple conversion of codecs.conf into a C
string is handled by the new script TOOLS/file2string.py.
After removing the codec-cfg binary, HOST_CC is no longer used for
anything. Remove the --host-cc configure option and associated logic.
Also remove the codec2html and codec-cfg-test functionality. Building
those was already broken and nobody cared.
There was a broken 3-character-long "fourcc" entry in etc/codecs.conf.
This happened to be accepted before but triggered a parse error after
the changes. Remove the broken entry and make the parsing functions
explicitly test for this error.
Support for this is rather simple, and some combinations of modifiers
and keys don't work. For example, Ctrl+Alt+character is not supported,
because Windows doesn't emit a WM_CHAR in this case.
Also add support for the pause and print screen keys. Remove the
pointless KEY_CTRL translation. Remove KEY_CTRL altogether, because it
was not clear what it was actually supposed to mean.
There were some slight differences between what input.conf mapped, and
what was in input.c def_cmd_binds[]. Make them match.
Add some minor documentation improvements in input.cfg.
Also remove double comments ('##'), because they were confusing.
Something like the OSD menu functionality could be useful. However the
current implementation has several problems and would require a
relatively large amount of work to get into good shape. As far as I
know there are few users of the existing functionality. Nobody is
working on the existing code and keeping it compiling at all while
changing other code would require extra work. So delete the menu code
and some related code elsewhere that's used by nothing else.
Add option --ass-vsfilter-aspect-compat and corresponding property
ass_vsfilter_aspect_compat. The setting controls whether to enable the
emulation of traditional VSFilter behavior where subtitles are
stretched if the video is anamorphic (previously always enabled for
native SSA/ASS subtitles). Enabled by default. Add 'V' as a new
default keybinding to toggle the property.

Selecting the colorspace to output from a decoder is done in the
function mpcodecs_config_vo(). Add a new version of this function,
mpcodecs_config_vo2(), that allows the decoder to specify a list of
candidate colorspaces instead of always using a hardcoded list
specified in the codecs.conf entry. If the codecs.conf entry has any
"out" lines then those still take priority and the decoder-provided
list (if any) is ignored. Make vd_ffmpeg provide a list of the
colorspaces it's willing to output. Remove "out" lines from most
entries for libavcodec video decoders in codecs.conf, so that the
automatic values are now used instead.
Due to libavcodec changes vo_xvmc would have needed some modifications
to keep working. However, I think there's little real demand for XvMC,
so I'll just drop XvMC support. XvMC only supported MPEG-2, making it
of very limited usefulness nowadays, plus the vo_xvmc implementation
was not high quality and never worked particularly well or reliably
anyway.
