This removes the dependency on DEMUXER_TYPE_* and the file_format
parameter from the stream open functions.
Remove some of the playlist handling code. It looks like this was
needed only for loading linked mov files with demux_mov (which was
removed long ago).
Delete a minor bit of dead network-related code from stream.c as well.
Move codec_tags.h include to demux_mkv.c, because this is the only file
which still uses it.
Move new_sh_stream() to demux.h, because this is more proper.
Before this commit, we tried to play along with libavformat and tried
to pretend that attached pictures are video streams with a single
frame, and that the frame magically appeared at the seek position when
seeking. The playback core would then switch to a mode where the video
has ended, and the "remaining" audio is played.
This didn't work very well:
- we needed a hack in demux.c, because we tried to read more packets in
order to find the "next" video frame (libavformat doesn't tell us if
a stream has ended)
- switching the video stream didn't work, because we can't tell
libavformat to send the packet again
- seeking and resuming after was hacky (for some reason libavformat sets
the returned packet's PTS to that of the previously returned audio
packet in generic code not related to attached pictures, and this
happened to work)
- if the user did something stupid and e.g. inserted a deinterlacer by
default, a picture was never displayed, only an inactive VO window)
- same when using a command that reconfigured the VO (like switching
aspect or video filters)
- hr-seek didn't work
For this reason, handle attached pictures as separate case with a
separate video decoding function, which doesn't read packets. Also,
do not synchronize audio to video start in this case.
The code touched by this commit makes sure that DVD subtitle tracks
known by libdvdread but not known by demux_lavf can be selected and
displayed properly. These subtitle tracks have the first packet
some time late in the packet stream, so that libavformat won't
immediately recognize them, and will add the track as soon as the
first packet is seen during normal demuxing.
demux_mpg used to handle this elegantly: you just set the MPEG ID of
the stream you wanted. demux_lavf couldn't do this, so it was emulated
with a DEMUXER_CTRL. This commit changes it so that new streams are
selected by default (if autoselect is enabled), and the playloop
simply can take appropriate action before the lower layer throws away
the first packet.
This also changes the demux_lavf behavior that subtitle packets are
always demuxed, even if not needed. (They were immediately thrown away,
so there was no advantage to this.)
Further, this adds the ability to demux.c to deal with demuxing more
than one stream of a kind at once. (Though currently it's not useful.)
AVDISCARD_DEFAULT is probably a bit better for normal decoding.
AVDISCARD_NONE would (as by documentation) include "useless" packets
too, while DEFAULT filters these.
Generally remove all accesses to demux_stream from all the code, except
inside of demux.c. Make it completely private to demux.c.
This simplifies the code because it removes an extra concept. In demux.c
it is reduced to a simple packet queue. There were other uses of
demux_stream, but they were removed or are removed with this commit.
Remove the extra "ds" argument to demux fill_buffer callback. It was
used by demux_avi and the TV pseudo-demuxer only.
Remove usage of d_video->last_pts from the no-correct-pts code. This
field contains the last PTS retrieved after a packet that is not NOPTS.
We can easily get this value manually because we read the packets
ourselves. Reuse sh_video->last_pts to store the packet PTS values. It
was used only by the correct-pts code before, and like d_video->last_pts,
it is reset on seek. The behavior should be exactly the same.
Currently, all demuxer fill_buffer functions have a demux_stream
parameter. We want to remove that, but the TV code still depends on
it. Add a hack to remove that dependency.
The problem with the TV code is that reading video and audio frames
blocks, so in order to avoid a deadlock, you should read either of
them only if the decoder actually requests new data.
For now, we want to get rid of the demux->sub access, because this
field will become private to demux.c in a later commit. So replace the
current hack with another hack.
The need for the hack will be removed sooner or later. (Instead of
autoselecting a specific stream, all new streams will be enabled by
default, so that no packets can get lost. The frontend will then be
responsible to deselect unwanted streams.)
This is not directly related to the handling of format changes itself,
but playing audio normally after the change. This was broken: the output
byte rate was not recalculated, so audio-video sync was simply broken.
Fix this by calculating the byte rate on the fly, instead of storing it
in sh_audio.
Format changes are relatively common (switches between stereo and 5.1
in TV recordings), so this fixes a somewhat critical bug.
Partial packet reads were needed because the video/audio parsers were
working on top of them. So it could happen that a parser read a part of
a packet, and returned that to the decoder. With libavformat/libavcodec,
packets are already parsed, and everything is much simpler.
Most of the simplifications in ad_spdif could have been done earlier.
Remove some other stuff as well, like the questionable slave mode start
time reporting (could be replaced by proper code, but we don't bother).
Remove the unused skip_audio_frame() functionality as well (it was used
by old demuxers). Some functions become private to demux.c, like
demux_fill_buffer(). Introduce new packet read functions, which have
simpler semantics. Packets returned from them are owned by the caller,
and all packets in the demux.c packet queue are considered unread.
Remove special code that dropped subtitle packets with size 0. This
used to be needed because it caused special cases in the old code.
The demux_open as well as demux_open_withparams calls don't use the
stream selection parameters anymore, so remove them everywhere.
Completes the previous commit.
These separate arrays were used by the old demuxers and are not needed
anymore. We can simplify track switching as well.
One interesting thing is that stream/tv.c (which is a demuxer) won't
respect --no-audio anymore. It will probably work as expected, but it
will still open an audio device etc. - this is because track selection
is now always done with the runtime track switching mechanism. Maybe
the TV code could be updated to do proper runtime switching, but I
can't test this stuff.
The audio parser was needed only by the "old" demuxers, and
demux_rawaudio. All other demuxers output already parsed packets.
demux_rawaudio is usually for raw audio, so using a parser with it
doesn't usually make sense. But you can also force it to read
compressed formats with fixed packet sizes, in which case the parser
would have been used. This use case is probably broken now, but you
will be able to do the same thing with libavformat demuxers.
Delete demux_avi, demux_asf, demux_mpg, demux_ts. libavformat does
better than them (except in rare corner cases), and the demuxers have
a bad influence on the rest of the code. Often they don't output
proper packets, and require additional audio and video parsing. Most
work only in --no-correct-pts mode.
Remove them to facilitate further cleanups.
STREAM_CTRL_GET_METADATA will be used to poll for streamcast metadata.
Also add DEMUXER_CTRL_UPDATE_INFO, which could in theory be used by
demux_lavf.c. (Unfortunately, libavformat is too crappy to read metadata
mid-stream for mp3 or ogg, so we don't implement it.)
The filter chain and the video ouputs have config() functions. They are
strictly limited to transfering the video size and format. Other
parameters (like color levels) have to be transferred separately.
Improve upon this by introducing a separate set of reconfig() functions,
which use mp_image_params to carry format parameters. This struct
contains all image format related parameters from config(), plus
additional parameters such as colorspace.
Change vf_rotate to use it, as well as vo_opengl. vf_rotate is just
an example/test case, but vo_opengl will need it later.
The intention is also to get rid of VOCTRL_SET_YUV_COLORSPACE. This
information is now handed to the VOs via reconfig(). The getter,
VOCTRL_GET_YUV_COLORSPACE, will still be needed though.
Old code used to use libass' recoding feature, which is a copy of the
old MPlayer code. We dropped that a few commits ago. Unfortunately,
this made it impossible to load some subtitle files, like UTF-16 files.
Make .ass loading respect -subcp again. We do this by recoding the
probe buffer to UTF-8, and then trying to load it normally. (Yep.)
Since UTF-16 in particular will effectively half the probe buffer size,
double the probe size.
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.
The default correct-pts mode depended on which demuxer was opened last.
Often this is the subtitle demuxer. The correct-pts mode should be
decided on the demuxer for video instead.
subreader.c (before this commit renamed to demux_subreader.c) was
special cased to the -sub option. The plan is using the normal demuxer
codepath for all subtitle formats (so we can prefer libavformat demuxers
for most formats).
There are some subtle changes. The probe size is restricted to 32 KB
(instead of unlimitted + giving up after 100 lines of input). For
formats like MicroDVD, the video FPS isn't used anymore, because it's
not available on the subtitle demuxer level. Instead, hardcode it to
23.976 FPS (libavformat seems to do the same). The user can probably
still use -sub-fps to fix the timing. Checking the file extension for
".utf"/".utf8"/".utf-8" is simply removed (seems worthless, was in the
way, and I've never seen this anywhere).
Simpler, reduces the amount of copying.
We still have to malloc+memcpy the probe buffer though, because padding
with FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE is required by libavformat.
If a subtitle is external, read it completely and add all subtitle
events in advance when the subtitle track is selected. This is done
for text subtitles only. (Note that subreader.c and subtitles loaded
with libass are different and don't have anything to do with this
commit.)
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.
The stream EOF flag should only be set when trying to read past the end
of the file (relatively similar to unix files). Always clear the EOF
flag on seeking. Trying to set it "properly" (depending whether data is
available at seek destination or not) might be an ok idea, but would
require attention to too many special cases. I suspect before this
commit (and in MPlayer etc. too), the EOF flag wasn't handled
consistently when the stream position was at the end of the file.
Fix one special case in ebml.c and stream_skip(): this function couldn't
distinguish between at-EOF and past-EOF either.
