If a file is unseekable (consider e.g. a http server without resume
functionality), but the stream cache is active, the player will enable
seeking anyway. Until know, client API user couldn't know that this
happens, and it has implications on how well seeking will work. So add a
property which exports whether this situation applies.
Fixes#1522.
Repurpose demuxer->filetype for this. It used to be used to print a
human readable format description; change it to a symbolic format name
and export it as property.
Unfortunately, libavformat has its own weird conventions, which are
reflected through the new property, e.g. the .mp4 case mentioned in the
manpage.
Fixes#1504.
Pass through the seek flags to the stream layer. The STREAM_CTRL
semantics become a bit awkward, but that's still the least awkward
part about optical disc media.
Make demux_disc.c request relative seeks. Now the player will use
relative seeks if the user sends relative seek commands, and the
demuxer announces it wants these by setting rel_seeks to true. This
change probably changes seek behavior for dvd, dvdnav, bluray, cdda,
and possibly makes seeking useless if the demuxer-cache is set to
a high value.
Will be used in the next commit. (Split to make reverting the next
commit easier.)
Normally the player doesn't read from unselected streams, so this should
be a no-op. But unfortunately, some broken files can severely confuse
the player, and assign the same demuxer stream to multiple front-end
tracks. Then selecting one of the tracks would deselect the other track,
with the end result that the demuxer stream for the selected track is
deselected. This could happen with mkv files that use the same track
number (which is of course broken). timeline_set_part() sets the tracks
using demuxer_stream_by_demuxer_id(), using the broken non-unique IDs.
The observable effect was that the player never quit, because
demux_read_packet_async() told the caller to wait some longer for new
packets. Fix by returning EOF instead.
Fixes#1481.
Reading IDs must be checked too. This was basically forgotten in commit
f3a978cd. Also set the *length parameter for ebml_parse_length() in some
error cases, which _really_ should happen.
Fixes#1461.
Apparently, originally this code was meant to be able to read past the
buffer somewhat, which is why the buffer allocation was padded by 8
byte. This is unclean and confuses valgrind. This probably could have
crashed with certain invalid files too.
Also revert the change added with 10a2f69; it should be not needed
anymore.
The VP9 codec parser has a bug: it doesn't set the data/size pointers
passed to it. As I understand, it must always do this, and in fact, if
it doesn't some libavcodec generic code would be in trouble too.
This helps with #1448, but is not the full fix for it. The codec parser
must be fixed in libavcodec itself.
Removes an annoying "No video PTS! Making something up." warning.
Mark it as keyframe, which is needed to prevent strange behavior with
PNG. Also, don't leak the picture data.
For some codecs, we need to invoke a codec parser (because libavcodec
will run into trouble otherwise). This was done based on the Matroska
codec field.
But this ignores handling of vfw-muxed files, which use a pseudo-codec
to signal presence of vfw structures, which we must unmangle to get the
real codec. Handle this by rearranging the code.
This fixes at least mp3-in-mkv for vfw-muxed files; typically old files.
This message can happen a lot for mkv files which index clusters in the
seekhead (which is also broken non-sense, but that's a different story).
Also remove a duplicate define from matroska.h.
There's no reason why parts of this demuxer would be in a separate
source file. The existence of this code is already somewhat questionable
anyway, so it may as well be dumped into a single file.
Even stranger that demux.c included mf.h for no reason (it was an
artifact from 2002 when the architecture was uncleaner).
The code could as well be in demux.c, but it's better to avoid
accidental clashes with demux_lavf.c.
FFmpeg provides no way yet to map a mime type to a codec, so do it
manually. (It _can_ map a mime type to an "input format", but not a
codec.)
Fixes#1374.
These actually are harmless. Even if the data the reader is working on
is essentially random, it's treated like untrusted input data, so there
should be no harm.
But it upsets tools like valgrind.
Probably fixes#1329.
The most awesome codec, not.
The actual code for svq3 is actually just the part that checks for
MKV_V_QUICKTIME (no other QT-muxed codecs are supported). The rest is
minor refactoring, that actually improves the code in general.
This is just enough to support the 2 svq3-in-mkv sample files I have.
This message was added in commit a0acb6ea. But it showed up in all sorts
of inappropriate contexts, such as when opening m3u from an unseekable
http URL, or playing DVDs. So I guess this didn't work out. Disabling it
again.
m3u files are normally just text files with a list of filenames. Nothing
actually mandates that there is a header. Until now, we've rejected such
files, because there's absolutely no way to detect them.
If nothing else claims the file, the extension is ".m3u", and if the
contents of the file look like text, then load it as m3u playlist. The
text heuristic is pretty cheap, but at least it should prevent trying
to load binary data as playlist. (Which would "work", but result in a
catastrophic user experience.)
Due to the text heuristic, UTF-16/32 files will be rejected (unless they
have a header), but I don't care.
This was completely breaking any low-level caching. Change it so that at
least demuxer caching will work.
Do this by using the metadata cache mechanism to funnel through the menu
commands.
For some incomprehensible reason, I had to reorder the events (which
affects their delivery priority), or they would be ignored. Probably
some crap about the event state being cleared before it could be
delivered. I don't give a shit.
All this code sucks. It would probably be better to let discnav.c access
the menu event "queue" directly, and to synchronize access with a mutex,
instead of going through all the caching layers, making things
complicated and slow.
If EOF is reached after reading a line, the EOF flag is set. This was a
problem for the m3u code, which checked for EOF _after_ reading a line,
which will discard the last line read.
Also fix a typo in an unrelated part of the file.
All of this is basically due to how MPlayer's codecs.conf worked. It
had a demuxer-interface based an AVI, using FourCCs and data structures
found in AVI. FourCCs were used to map streams to decoders. For codecs
not supported by AVI, "MPlayer internal" FourCCs were made up.
codec_tags.c is there to bridge demuxers written against the old API to
the mpv one. By now, only demux_mkv.c needs this (because demux_mkv is
the only serious demuxer left - preferably, we should use libavformat
for mkv too, but I can't see this happening any time soon, because
libavformat _still_ doesn't support segment linking). But the codec
tables are full of weird stuff automatically extracted from the old
codecs.conf tables. Most of it isn't needed for mkv.
Remove all custom tags, readd those used by demux_mkv.c internally
(see vinfo and mkv_audio_tag tables). The rest is handled by the
tables provided by libavformat, which includes AVI and QT tags.
It was more complicated than necessary.
The behavior changes slightly. Now it might pass through extradata when
it didn't before (hopefully harmless), and doesn't fail with an error if
extradata is not available, even though it's needed (harmless, will fail
either way).
The if branch has a weak check to test whether the codec_id is the short
ID, and handles the long IDs in the else branch. The long IDs are all
longer than 12 bytes long, so hardcoding the string offset to get the
trailing part of the name makes sense. But the if condition checks for
another thing, which could get the else branch run even if the codec_id
is short.
Fix the bogus control flow and check if the codec_id is long enough. One
of these checks could be considered redundant, but include them both for
defensive coding.
Do a minimal check on data read with stream_peek(). This could help with
probing from unseekable streams in some situations. (We could check the
entire EBML and Matroska headers, but probably not worth the trouble. We
could also seek back to the start, which demux.c doesn't do, but which
would work usually - also not worth the trouble.)
Make the changes started in commit c827ae5f more eloborate, and provide
an option to control the amount of data read before the seek-target. To
achieve this, rewrite the loop that finds the lowest still acceptable
target cluster. It is now searched by time instead of file position. The
behavior (both with and without preroll option) may be different from
before this change, although it shouldn't be worse.
The change demux_mkv_read_cues() fixes a bug: when seeking after playing
normally, the code would erroneously assume that durations are set. This
doesn't happen if the first operation after loading was a seek instead
of playback.
This was removed in commit 480f82fa. This caused the cache display not
to update while paused, because the update_cache() function is never
called in the thread (now I remember why the extra call was "needed").
The old implementation intentionally run update_cache() only before
waiting on a mutex, with no further checks for the condition variable.
In theory, this is strictly not sane, but since it was just for the
retrieval of the very fuzzy cache status, it was ok. Now we want to call
update_cache() outside of the mutex though - which means that in order
to avoid missed wakeups, a proper condition has to be used.
Revert commit 24e52f66; even though the old beheavior doesn't make sense
(as the commit message assured), it turns out that this works better:
typically, it means preroll will start from the previous video key frame
(the video CUE index will contain clusters with video key frames only),
which often coincides with subtitle changes. Thus the old behavior is
actually better.
Change the code that uses CueDuration elements. Instead of merely
checking whether preroll should be done, find the first cluster that
needs to be read to get all subtitle packets. (The intention is to
compensate for the enlarged preroll cluster-range due to reverting
commit 24e52f66.)
Found by clang sanitizer. Casting unsigned integers to signed integers
with same size has implementation defined behavior (it's even allowed to
crash), but it seems reasonable to expect that reasonable
implementations do a complement of 2 "conversion".
This considered only index entries that were for the same track ID as
the track used for seeking. This doesn't make much sense for preroll;
it'll just possibly skip clusters, and select an earlier cluster.
One possible negative side-effect is that the preroll might be too tight
now, and miss subtitle packets more often.
The demuxer has a hack to seek to the cluster before the target cluster
in order to "catch" subtitle lines that start before the seek target,
but overlap with the video after the seek target.
Avoid this hack if the cue index indicates that there are no overlapping
subtitle packets that can be caught by seeking to the previous cluster.
