The way this was added to FFmpeg is less than ideal, because it requires
text parsing in the Matroska demuxer. But in order to use the FFmpeg
webvtt-to-ass converter, we still have to mimic this in some way. We do
this by putting the parsing into sd_lavc_conv.c, before the subtitle
packet is passed to libavcodec. At least this keeps the ugliness out of
unrelated code.
There is some change that FFmpeg will fix their design eventually.
Instead of rewriting the parsing code, we simply borrow it from FFmpeg's
Matroska demuxer.
cocoa_common contains some locking calls to support video outputs that support
live resizing (at this moment only vo=opengl).
These should not be used unless the VO declares it is multithreaded by
registering the resize_redraw callback used for live resizing.
Fixes#200
Use the new MP_ macros for some AOs instead of mp_msg.
Not all AOs are converted, and some only partially. In some cases, some
additional cosmetic changes are made.
Otherwise, this would just try to demux a good chunk of the file, even
though the operation can't succeed anyway.
This caused some pretty strange issues, where perfectly valid use cases
would print a "Too many packets in the demuxer packet queue..." message.
The rawaudio demuxer read one frame per packet, basically a few bytes,
which caused insane overhead. (I found this when I couldn't play raw
audio without dropouts when using -v, which printed a line per packet
read.)
Fix this and read 1 second of audio per packet. This is a regression
since cfa5712 (merging of demux_rawaudio and demux_rawvideo).
Instead of always skipping in STREAM_BUFFER_SIZE blocks, allow an
arbitrary size. This allows - in theory - faster forward seeking in
pipes.
(Maybe not a very significant change, but it reduces the number of
things that depend on STREAM_BUFFER_SIZE for no good reason. Though
we still use that value as minimum read size.)
stream_file.c contains some code meant for forward seeking with pipes.
This simply reads data until the seek position is reached. Move this
code to stream.c. This stops stream_file from doing strange things
(messing with stream internals), and removes the code duplication too.
We also make stream_seek_long() use the new skip code. This is shorter
and much easier to follow than the old code, which basically did strange
things.
Decoding H264 using Video Decode Acceleration used the custom 'vda_h264_dec'
decoder in FFmpeg.
The Good: This new implementation has some advantages over the previous one:
- It works with Libav: vda_h264_dec never got into Libav since they prefer
client applications to use the hwaccel API.
- It is way more efficient: in my tests this implementation yields a
reduction of CPU usage of roughly ~50% compared to using `vda_h264_dec` and
~65-75% compared to h264 software decoding. This is mainly because
`vo_corevideo` was adapted to perform direct rendering of the
`CVPixelBufferRefs` created by the Video Decode Acceleration API Framework.
The Bad:
- `vo_corevideo` is required to use VDA decoding acceleration.
- only works with versions of ffmpeg/libav new enough (needs reference
refcounting). That is FFmpeg 2.0+ and Libav's git master currently.
The Ugly: VDA was hardcoded to use UYVY (2vuy) for the uploaded video texture.
One one end this makes the code simple since Apple's OpenGL implementation
actually supports this out of the box. It would be nice to support other
output image formats and choose the best format depending on the input, or at
least making it configurable. My tests indicate that CPU usage actually
increases with a 420p IMGFMT output which is not what I would have expected.
NOTE: There is a small memory leak with old versions of FFmpeg and with Libav
since the CVPixelBufferRef is not automatically released when the AVFrame is
deallocated. This can cause leaks inside libavcodec for decoded frames that
are discarded before mpv wraps them inside a refcounted mp_image (this only
happens on seeks).
For frames that enter mpv's refcounting facilities, this is not a problem
since we rewrap the CVPixelBufferRef in our mp_image that properly forwards
CVPixelBufferRetain/CvPixelBufferRelease calls to the underying
CVPixelBufferRef.
So, for FFmpeg use something more recent than `b3d63995` for Libav the patch
was posted to the dev ML in July and in review since, apparently, the proposed
fix is rather hacky.
Regression since ff3b98d11c. The window positioning code relied on the
visibleFrame's height without taking into account the dock's presence.
Also moved the constraining code to the proper method that overrides the
original NSWindow behaviour. This avoids having to check for border since the
constraining is performed by Cocoa only for titled windows.
Fixes#190
Too many people thought "D:" really meant number of dropped frames. But
it's actually the number of frames where the playloop thought it'd be
a good idea to drop them. Of course this does nothing if frame dropping
is disabled, but even with normal frame dropping, this doesn't indicate
whether a frame was _really_ dropped. (Looks like libavcodec doesn't
even give us this information reliably? The decode function can return
no frame in case of codec delay due to threading and such.)
Originally, the objective of this commit was changing --edition to be
1-based, but this was cancelled. I'm still leaving the change to
demux_mkv.c though, which is now only of cosmetic nature.
We don't need to store the offsets of the options corresponding to the
properties, because the option-property bridge knows about this already.
The check against 1000 was for the case if e.g. the --brightness option
is not used. Always overwrite the option value instead, both when
querying and setting the property. (This is needed to make the settings
persistent even if vf_eq is used and the video chain is reinitialized.)
This commit assumes that VFCTRL_SET_EQUALIZER is always paired with
VFCTRL_GET_EQUALIZER (likewise for VOCTRL), which is the case.
Using -vf eq and changing brightness, contrast, etc. using key bindings
with e.g. "add brightness 1" didn't work well: with step width 1, the
property gets easily "stuck". This is a rounding problem: e.g. setting
gamma to 3 would actually make it report that gamma is set to 2, so
the "add" command will obviously never reach 3 with a step width of 1.
Fix this by storing the parameters as integers.
This was broken in cac7702. This commit effectively changed these
properties to use the value as reported by vf_eq, instead of the
previously set value for the "add" command. This was more robust,
but not very correct either, so we keep the new behavior and make
vf_eq report its parameters more accurately.
The display, window, keyboard and cursor structures are now cleanly and
logically separated. Also could prevent a future bug where no shm format is set
when the cursor image is loaded (Never happened until now).
Add --video-align-x/y, --video-pan-x/y, --video-scale options and
properties. See the additions to the manpage for description and
semantics.
These transformations are intentionally done on top of panscan. Unlike
the (now removed) --panscanrange option, this doesn't affect the default
panscan behavior. (Although panscan itself becomes kind of useless if
the new options are used.)
This option allowed you to extend the range of the panscan controls, so
that you could essentially use it to scale the video. This will be
replaced by a separate option to set the zoom factor directly.
See github issue #194.
Unfortunately, this breaks the property that going back in the playlist
always works as expected. This changes, because the playlist_prev
command will work on the reshuffled playlist, instead of loading the
previously played files in order. If this ever becomes an issue, I
might revert this commit.
Now the code does the same as the original MPlayer VAAPI patch, instead
of trying to map the profiles exactly.
See previous commit for justification and discussion.
Instead, do what MPlayer did all these years. It worked for them, so
there's probably no reason to change this.
Apparently fixes playback with some files, where the VDPAU decoder does
not formally support a profile, but decoding works with a more powerful
profile anyway.
Though note that MPlayer did this because it couldn't do it in a better
way (no decoder reported profiles available when creating the VDPAU
decoder), so it's not entirely clear whether this is a good idea. An
alterbative implementation might try to map the profiles exactly, and
do some fall backs if the exact profile is not available. But this
hack-solution works too.
Apparently this was dropped some years ago, but judging from MPlayer's
handling of this, the original code wasn't so great anyway. The new
code handling clearing of panscan borders correctly, and integrates
better with the YUV path. (Although the VDPAU API sure makes this
annoying with its separate surface types for RGB.)
Note that we create 5 surfaces for some reason - I don't think this
makes too much sense (because we can't use the deinterlacer with RGB
surfaces), but at least it reduces the amount of differences with
the YUV code path.
Clearing the borders is done by drawing a single black pixel over the
window. This sounds pretty dumb, but it appears to work well, and
there is no other API for that. (One could try to use the video mixer
for this purpose, since it has all kinds of features, including
compositing multiple RGBA surfaces and clearing the window background.
But it would require an invisible dummy video surface to make the
video mixer happy, and that's getting too messy.)
When panscan was used, i.e. the video is cropped to make the video fill
the screen if video and screen aspects don't match, screenshots
contained only the visible region of the source video, stretched to
original video size.
Consider:
mpv file1.mkv file2.mkv
and file1.mkv is restored from an earlier session when quit_watch_later
was used. Then all restored options were reset when file2.mkv is played,
even if the user changed them during playback. This affects for example
the fullscreen setting.
Make it so that after finishing a resumed file, the previously restored
settings are not reset again. (Which means only resuming will forcefully
overwrite the settings.)
If close to chapter start, skipping back goes to previous chapter (no change).
If more than <threshold> seconds in, skipping back will now go to the beginning
of the current chapter instead.
The threshold is set by the new option --chapter-seek-threshold and defaults to
5 seconds. A negative value disables the new functionality.
The VDPAU default colorkey, although it seems to be driver specific, is
usually green. This is a pretty annoying color, and you usually see it
briefly (as flashes) if the VDPAU window resizes.
Change it to some shade of black. The new default color is close to what
MPlayer picks as colorkey (and apparently it worked well for them):
VdpColor vdp_bg = {0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0};
Since our OPT_COLOR can set 8 bit colors only, we use '#020507' instead,
which should be the same assuming 8 bit colors.
Obviously, you can't use black, because black is a way too common color,
and would make it too easy to observe the colorkey effect when e.g.
moving a terminal with black background over the video window.
Formally, this sets the "background color" of the presentation queue.
But in practice, this color is also used as colorkey.
This commit doesn't change the VDPAU default yet.
Not actually useful. This would break whenever a new text subtitle
format would be added, which requires a binary->text transformation.
(mov_text is one such format; disable it.) In general, we would have
to know which packet formats are binary, which we don't, so the only
reasonable way to handle this is a white list.
One example in ao.rst used the old syntax with mangled device names.
Fix it. Mention some shell related caveats. Explicitly mention the
change of device name syntax in changes.rst, because it seems to be
a common issue.
Normally, --subcp always forces conversion. This really always forces
conversion, even if the UTF-8 check on the input succeeds.
Extend the --subcp to allow codepages as fallback if UTF-8 doesn't
work. So, for example --subcp=utf8:cp1250 will use UTF-8 if the input
looks like UTF-8, and will fall back to use cp1250 if the UTF-8 check
fails.
I think this should actually be the default, but on the other hand,
this changes the semantics of the option, and a user would actually
expect --subcp to force conversion, rather than silently using UTF-8
if that happens to work.
Don't accept overlong sequences. Don't accept codepoints past the
maximum unicode codepoint. Don't accept the UTF-16 surrogate codepoints.
I'm not sure if there are more codepoints that are defined to be
invalid, but we just want to make libavcodec happy, so this is enough.
(libavcodec's subtitle converter checks for valid UTF-8 and throws up
and dies if it's not - now we want to use bstr_sanitize_utf8_latin1() to
force valid UTF-8, so the strictness of our UTF-8 parser has to match at
least that of the libavcodec's check.)
I'm not sure whether the min test is actually 100% correct.
Note that libavcodec also treats BOM codepoints as invalid. This is
definitely a bug: the BOM is really just "zero-width non-breaking space"
redefined by Microsoft, but it is perfectly valid to appear in the
middle of a string. Official Unicode has merely deprecated the old
usage of the BOM codepoint, and didn't make it illegal. Besides, the
string could be from the start of a file, so even this check doesn't
make sense even with libavcodec's insane logic. We don't copy this bug.
