Simple groundwork for adding a couple of user options that allow
selecting the screen with a string name. The next two commits implements
these options for xorg and wayland.
This reverts commit 3d17e19c2c.
The effect of turning off this setting is that mpv doesn't tell libass what
the video stream's resolution is. This happens to result in some files having
their transforms scaled in ways that give higher performance (as described
in #7435) because libass happened to guess a video resolution that resulted
in transforms yielding smaller bitmaps, but it's just as easy for the opposite
to happen depending on the resolutions and effects involved.
The option's name is also somewhat misleading: setting the storage size affects
blur, but it also affects stroke (which is far more important for the vast
majority of scripts) and 3D transforms (which look very screwy when done wrong).
Apparently mpv supports loading config files from the same directory as
the mpv.exe. This is a fallback of some sort. It used the old_home
mechanism.
I want to add a warning if old_home exists, but that would always show
the warning on win32. Obviously we don't want that.
Add a separate exe_dir entry to deal with that.
Untested, but probably works.
Mistakenly reverted as part of the default configuration directory
location switch-back in aa18a8e1cd.
Separation of the mpv executable directory from old_path is a
good change now that we warn about the old_config directory also
existing.

Picks up files like "cover.jpg". It's made part of normal external file
loading, so I'm adding 3 new options that are direct equivalents for the
options that control loading of external subtitle and audio files. Even
though I bet nobody wants them and they just increase confusion... I
guess the world is actually hell, so this outcome should be fine.
It prefers non-specific external files like "cover.jpg" over embedded
cover art. Not sure if that's wanted or unwanted.
There's some pain over explicitly marking such files as external
pictures. This is basically an optimization: in most cases, a heuristic
would treat an image file loaded with --external-file the same (it's a
heuristic because ffmpeg can't tell us whether something is an image or
a video). However, even with this heuristic, it would decode the cover
art picture again on each seek, which would essentially slow down
seeking in audio files. This bothered me greatly, which is why I'm
adding these additional options at all, and bothered with the previous
commit.
Fixes: #3056
on macOS 10.15 setting the activation policy behaves quite weirdly. the
call changes the current active App to a nameless process, which
probably also the reason that prevents the not focusing to work.
a workaround for that, is to refocus the previous active app.
Fixes#7725
Accepting ":" in addition to "," seems confusing and dumb. It only
causing problems when you want to pass a value that contains ":". Remove
support for ":", it is now treated like any other normal character. This
affects all options that are listed as "Key/value list" in the option
list.
It's possible that this breaks for someone who happened to use ":" as
separator. But this was undocumented, and never recommended. Originally,
the option treated many other characters in a special way, but this was
changed in commit a3d561f950. I'm, not sure why ":" was explicitly
included. Maybe because -the absurd -vf/--af syntax uses ":" as list
separator. But "," was always recommended and used in examples for
key/value options.
Fixes: #8021 (if you consider it a bug)
This allows users to control whether full dialogue subtitles are displayed
with an audio track already in their preferred subtitle language.
Additionally, this improves handling for the forced flag, automatically
selecting between forced and unforced subtitle streams based on the user's
settings and the selected audio.
Seems like this is requested all the time.
It seems libass allows out of range values, but does allows the subtitle
to go out of the screen at the bottom (only when moving it to the top
it's "clamped"). Too bad, don't do that then. The bitmap sub rendering
code on the other hand is under our control, and will not move a
subtitle out of the screen.
Fixes: #7986
Options like --sub-ass-force-style and others could not be changed at
runtime (the changes didn't take any effect). Fix this by using the
brutal approach, and completely reinit the subtitle state when this
happens. Maybe a bit clunky, but for now I'd rather not put more effort
into this.
Fixes: #7689
Make it possible to restore from profiles by backing up the option
values before profile application. This is sort of like unapplying a
profile. Since there might be multiple ways to do this, a profile needs
to explicitly provide the "profile-restore" option, which specifies how
exactly this should be done.
This is a big mess. There is not natural way to do this. Profile
application is "destructive" and simply changes the values of the
options. Maybe one could argue that the option system should have
hierarchical "overlays" of profiles instead, where unset options will
use the value of the lower profiles. Options set interactively by the
user would be the top profile. Default values would be in the lowest
profile. You could unapply a profile by simply removing it from this
overlay stack.
But uh, let's not, so here's something stupid. It reuses some code used
for file local options to reduce code size. At least the overlay idea
would still be possible in theory, and could be added as another
profile-restore mode.
This is used by the following commit.
This is taken from a somewhat older proof-of-concept script. The basic
idea, and most of the implementation, is still the same. The way the
profiles are actually defined changed.
I still feel bad about this being a Lua script, and running user
expressions as Lua code in a vaguely defined environment, but I guess as
far as balance of effort/maintenance/results goes, this is fine.
It's a bit bloated (the Lua scripting state is at least 150KB or so in
total), so in order to enable this by default, I decided it should
unload itself by default if no auto-profiles are used. (And currently,
it does not actually rescan the profile list if a new config file is
loaded some time later, so the script would do nothing anyway if no auto
profiles were defined.)
This still requires defining inverse profiles for "unapplying" a
profile. Also this is still somewhat racy. Both will probably be
alleviated to some degree in the future.
Mess this into the --geometry option, because I like to be
irresponsible. I considered adding a separate option, but at least this
allows me to defer the question how the hell this should work as
property (geometry simply and inherently does not).
Tested on IceWM only. Option equality test and string output not tested.
Apparently mpv supports loading config files from the same directory as
the mpv.exe. This is a fallback of some sort. It used the old_home
mechanism.
I want to add a warning if old_home exists, but that would always show
the warning on win32. Obviously we don't want that.
Add a separate exe_dir entry to deal with that.
Untested, but probably works.
This simply printf()s a concatenation of the provided string and the
relevant escape sequences. No idea what exactly defines this escape
sequence (is it just a xterm thing that is now supported relatively
widely?), and this simply uses information provided on the linked github
issue.
Not much of an advantage over --term-status-msg, though at least this
can have a lower update frequency. Also I may consider setting a default
value, and then it shouldn't conflict with the status message.
Fixes: #1725
Can be useful to force it to adapt to extreme speed changes, while a
higher limit would just use a fraction closer to the original video
speed.
Probably useful for testing only.
Apparently, this was a bit of a mess, which caused the bug fixed by
commit ec7f2388af. Try to improve this, and only use track selection
entries that exist.
Replace use of .min==1 with a proper flag. This is a good idea, because
it has nothing to do with numeric limits (also see commit 9d32d62b61
for how this can go wrong).
With this, m_option.min/max are strictly used for numeric limits.
This was optional, with the intention that normally such options require
a valid format. But there is no reason for this (at least not anymore),
and it's actually more logical to accept "no" in all situations this
option type is used. This also gets rid of the weird min field special
use.
These used ".min = MP_NOPTS_VALUE" to indicate certain exceptions. This
broke with the recent change to how min/max are handled, which made
setting min or max mean that a value range is used, thus setting max=0.
Fix this by not using magic a value in .min; replace it with a proper
flag.
Fixes: #7596
While --input-file was removed for justified reasons, wanting to pass
down socket FDs this way is legitimate, useful, and easy to implement.
One odd thing is that
Fixes: #7592
As an unfortunate disaster, min/max values use the type double, which
causes tons of issues with int64_t types. Anyway, OPT_BYTE_SIZE is often
used as maximum for size_t quantities, which can have a size different
from (u)int64_t.
OPT_BYTE_SIZE still uses in64_t, because in theory, you could use it for
file sizes. (demux.c would for example be capable of caching more than
2GB on 32 bit platforms if a file cache is used. Though for some reason
the accounting code still uses size_t, so that use case is broken. But
still insist that it _could_ be used this way.)
There were various inconsistent attempts to set m_option.max to a value
such that the size_t/int64_t upper limit is not exceeded. Due to the
double max field, this didn't really work correctly. Try to fix this
with the M_MAX_MEM_BYTES constant. It's a good approximation, because on
32 bit it should allow 2GB (untested, also would probably exhaust
address space in practice but whatever), and something "high enough" in
64 bit.
For some reason, clang 11 still warns. But I think this might be a clang
bug, or I'm crazy. The result is correct anyway.
Since double has a mantissa too small to hold INT64_MAX in full
precision, converting INT64_MAX to double rounds up. Insert some casts
to silence corresponding warnings (as shown by clang 11).
Also, the comparison in multiply_int64() was incorrect (I think...),
because if v==(double)INT64_MAX, then v==(1<<64), which cannot be
represented as int64_t.
There are probably better ways to solve this.
Change all OPT_* macros such that they don't define the entire m_option
initializer, and instead expand only to a part of it, which sets certain
fields. This requires changing almost every option declaration, because
they all use these macros. A declaration now always starts with
{"name", ...
followed by designated initializers only (possibly wrapped in macros).
The OPT_* macros now initialize the .offset and .type fields only,
sometimes also .priv and others.
I think this change makes the option macros less tricky. The old code
had to stuff everything into macro arguments (and attempted to allow
setting arbitrary fields by letting the user pass designated
initializers in the vararg parts). Some of this was made messy due to
C99 and C11 not allowing 0-sized varargs with ',' removal. It's also
possible that this change is pointless, other than cosmetic preferences.
Not too happy about some things. For example, the OPT_CHOICE()
indentation I applied looks a bit ugly.
Much of this change was done with regex search&replace, but some places
required manual editing. In particular, code in "obscure" areas (which I
didn't include in compilation) might be broken now.
In wayland_common.c the author of some option declarations confused the
flags parameter with the default value (though the default value was
also properly set below). I fixed this with this change.
Forgot to remove this. Here you see my confusion and realization how
casting INT64_MAX to double becomes INT64_MAX+1 (due to mantissa
precision and rounding), so some things seemed not to make sense at
first.
The option code is very old and was added to MPlayer in the early 2000s,
when C99 was still new. MPlayer did not use the "bool" type anywhere,l
and the logical option equivalent to bool, the "flag" option type, used
int, with the convention that only the values 0 and 1 are allowed.
mpv may have hammered many, many additional tentacles to the option
code, but some of the basics never changed, and m_option_type_flag still
uses int. This seems a bit weird, since mpv uses bool for booleans. So
finally introduce an m_option_type_bool. To avoid duplicating too much
code, change the flag code to bool, and "reimplement" m_option_type_flag
on top of m_option_type_bool.
As a "demonstration", change the --fullscreen option to this new type.
Ideally, all options would be changed too bool, and m_option_type_flag
would be removed. But that is a lot of monotonous thankless work, so I'm
not doing it, and making it a painful years long transition.
At the same time, I'm introducing a new concept for option declarations.
Instead of OPT_BOOL(), which define the full m_option struct contents,
there's OPTF_BOOL(), which only takes the option field name itself. The
name is provided via a normal struct field initializer. Other fields
(such as flags) can be provided via designated initializers.
The advantage of this is that we don't need tons of nested vararg
macros. We also don't need to deal with 0-sized varargs being a pain
(and in fact they are not a thing in standard C99 and probably C11).
There is no need to provide a mandatory flags argument either, which is
the reason why so many OPT_ macros are used with a "0" argument. (The
flag argument seems to confuse other developers; they either don't
immediately recognize what it is, and sometimes it's supposed to be the
option's default value.)
Not having to mess with the flag argument in such option macros is also
a reason for the removal of M_OPT_RANGE etc., for the better or worse.
The only place that special-cased the _flag option type was in
command.c; change it to use something effectively very similar that
automatically includes the new _bool option type. Everything else should
be transparent to the change. The fullscreen option change should be
transparent too, as C99 bool is basically an integer type that is
clamped to 0/1 (except in Swift, Swift sucks).
Commit 8d965a1bfb changed option/property min/max handling. As a
consequence, ranges that contain only 1 or 0 elements are not possible
anymore. Normally that's fine, because it makes no sense to have an
option that has only one or none allowed value (statically).
But edition switching used some sort of mechanism where the property can
return a different, dynamically decided range at runtime. That meant
that if there were <2 editions, edition switching with the "cycle"
command would always pick the same value. But with the recent commit,
this changed to having "no range set" and would cycle through all
integer values.
Work this around with a simple change. Now, edition switching on a file
without editions shows "edition: auto" instead of "edition: 0", which
may appear odd. But the former is the --edition default value, and
previous mpv versions rendered the edition property like this when not
using switching.
(Who the fuck uses editions?)
Before this commit, option declarations used M_OPT_MIN/M_OPT_MAX (and
some other identifiers based on these) to signal whether an option had
min/max values. Remove these flags, and make it use a range implicitly
on the condition if min<max is true.
This requires care in all cases when only M_OPT_MIN or M_OPT_MAX were
set (instead of both). Generally, the commit replaces all these
instances with using DBL_MAX/DBL_MIN for the "unset" part of the range.
This also happens to fix some cases where you could pass over-large
values to integer options, which were silently truncated, but now cause
an error.
This commit has some higher potential for regressions.
Try to remove m_config implementation details from m_config_frontend.
Not sure if I like it. Seems to be ~100 lines of awkward code more, and
not much is gained from it. Also it took way too long to do it, and
there might be bugs.
Move the "old" mostly command line parsing and option management related
code to m_config_frontend.c/h. Move the the code that enables other part
of the player to access options to m_config_core.c/h. "frontend" is out
of lack of creativity for a better name.
Unfortunately, the separation isn't quite clean yet. m_config_frontend.c
still references some m_config_core.c implementation details, and
m_config_new() is even left in m_config_core.c for now. There some odd
functions that should be removed as well (marked as "Bad functions").
Fixing these things requires more changes and will be done separately.
struct m_config is left with the current name to reduce diff noise.
Also, since there are a _lot_ source files that include m_config.h, add
a replacement m_config.h that "redirects" to m_config_core.h.
This was mostly unused, and has certain problems. Just get rid of it.
It was still used in CDDA (--cdda-span) and a debug option for OpenGL
(--opengl-check-pattern). Replace both of these with 2 options, where
each sets the start/end values of the former span. Both were
undocumented somehow (normally we require all options to be documented),
so I'm not caring about compatibility, and not bothering to add it to
the API changelog.
Instead of having f_decoder_wrapper create its own copy of the entire
mpv option tree, create a struct local to that file and move all used
options to there.
movie_aspect is used by the "video-aspect" deprecated property code. I
think it's probably better not to remove the property yet, but
fortunately it's easy to work around without needing special handling
for this option or so.
correct_pts is used to prevent use of hr-seek in playloop.c. Ignore
that, if you use --no-correct-pts you're asking for trouble anyway. This
is the only behavior change.
See manpage additions. This has been a topic in MPlayer/mplayer2/mpv
since forever. But since libavcodec multi-threaded decoding was added,
I've always considered this pointless. libavcodec requires you to
"preload" it with packets, and then you can pretty much avoid blocking
on it, if decoding is fast enough.
But in some cases, a decoupled decoder thread _might_ help. Users have
for example come up with cases where decoding video in a separate
process and piping it as raw video to mpv helped. (Or my memory is
false, and it was about vapoursynth filtering, who knows.) So let's just
see whether this helps with anything.
Note that this would have been _much_ easier if libavcodec had an
asynchronous (or rather, non-blocking) API. It could probably have
easily gained that with a small change to its multi-threading code and a
small extension to its API, but I guess not.
Unfortunately, this uglifies f_decoder_wrapper quite a lot. Part of this
is due to annoying corner cases like legacy frame dropping and hardware
decoder state. These could probably be prettified later on.
There is also a change in playloop.c: this is because there is a need to
coordinate playback resets between demuxer thread, decoder thread, and
playback logic. I think this SEEK_BLOCK idea worked out reasonably well.
There are still a number of problems. For example, if the demuxer cache
is full, the decoder thread will simply block hard until the output
queue is full, which interferes with seeking. Could also be improved
later. Hardware decoding will probably die in a fire, because it will
run out of surfaces quickly. We could reduce the queue to size 1...
maybe later. We could update the queue options at runtime easily, but
currently I'm not going to bother.
I could only have put the lavc wrapper itself on a separate thread. But
there is some annoying interaction with EDL and backward playback shit,
and also you would have had to loop demuxer packets through the
playloop, so this sounded less annoying.
The food my mother made for us today was delicious.
Because audio uses the same code, also for audio (even if completely
pointless).
Fixes: #6926
Try to deal with various corner cases. But when I fix one thing, another
thing breaks. (And it's 50/50 whether I find the breakage immediately or
a few months later.) So results may vary.
The default for--hr-seek is changed to "default" (not creative enough to
find a better name). In this mode, audio seeking is exact if there is no
video, or if the video has only a single frame. This change is actually
pretty dumb, since audio frames are usually small enough that exact
seeking does not really add much. But it gets rid of some weird special
cases.
Internally, the most important change is that is_coverart and is_sparse
handling is merged. is_sparse was originally just a special case for
weird .ts streams that have the corresponding low-level flag set. The
idea is that they're pretty similar anyway, so this would reduce the
number of corner cases. But I'm not sure if this doesn't break the
original intended use case for it (I don't have a sample anyway).
This changes last-frame handling, and respects the duration of the last
frame only if audio is disabled. This is mostly "coincidental" due to
the need to make seeking past EOF trigger player exit, and is caused by
setting STATUS_EOF early. On the other hand, this might have been this
way before (see removed chunk close to it).
Works as ad-filter. I had some more plans, for example replacing
matching text with different text, but for now it's dropping matches
only. There's a big warning in the manpage that I might change
semantics. For example, I might turn it into a primitive sed.
In a sane world, you'd probably write a simple script that processes
downloaded subtitles before giving them to mpv, and avoid all this
complexity. But we don't live in a sane world, and the sooner you learn
this, the happier you will be. (But I also want to run this on muxed
subtitles.)
This is pretty straightforward. We use POSIX regexes, which are readily
available without additional pain or dependencies. This also means it's
(apparently) not available on win32 (MinGW). The regex list is because I
hate big monolithic regexes, and this makes it slightly better.
Very superficially tested.
Until now, filter_sdh was simply a function that was called by sd_ass
directly (if enabled).
I want to add another filter, so it's time to turn this into a somewhat
more general subtitle filtering infrastructure.
I pondered whether to reuse the audio/video filtering stuff - but better
not. Also, since subtitles are horrible and tend to refuse proper
abstraction, it's still messed into sd_ass, instead of working on the
dec_sub.c level. Actually mpv used to have subtitle "filters" and even
made subtitle converters part of it, but it was fairly horrible, so
don't do that again.
In addition, make runtime changes possible. Since this was supposed to
be a quick hack, I just decided to put all subtitle filter options into
a separate option group (=> simpler change notification), to manually
push the change through the playloop (like it was sort of before for OSD
options), and to recreate the sub filter chain completely in every
change. Should be good enough.
One strangeness is that due to prefetching and such, most subtitle
packets (or those some time ahead) are actually done filtering when we
change, so the user still needs to manually seek to actually refresh
everything. And since subtitle data is usually cached in ASS_Track (for
other terrible but user-friendly reasons), we also must clear the
subtitle data, but of course only on seek, since otherwise all subtitles
would just disappear. What a fucking mess, but such is life. We could
trigger a "refresh seek" to make this more automatic, but I don't feel
like it currently.
This is slightly inefficient (lots of allocations and copying), but I
decided that it doesn't matter. Could matter slightly for crazy ASS
subtitles that render with thousands of events.
Not very well tested. Still seems to work, but I didn't have many test
cases.
