Dudemanguy 08848e76d9 player: add --screen-name and --fs-screen-name
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.

wm4 55d7f9ded1 player: add automatic loading of external cover art files
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.

der richter 18a35f17e2 mac: add an option to prevent focusing of the window on open
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.

rcombs c9474dc9ed player: add --subs-with-matching-audio option
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.

Dudemanguy 9bce236714 wayland: expose wayland-app-id as a user option
This is extremely similar to x11's WM_CLASS. This commit allows users to
set mpv's app-id at runtime for any of the wayland backends.

wm4 13d354e46d auto_profiles: add this script
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.

wm4 b1d16a2300 player: add --term-title option
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.

wm4 c784820454 options: introduce bool option type, use it for --fullscreen
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).

wm4 ae1aeab7aa options: make decoder options local to decoder wrapper
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.

wm4 a3823ce0e0 player: add optional separate video decoding thread
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).

wm4 a4eb8f75c0 sub: add an option to filter subtitles by regex
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.

wm4 0b35b4c917 sub: make filter_sdh a "proper" filter, allow runtime changes
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.

wm4 e9fc53a10b player: add ab-loop-count option/property
As requested I guess. It behaves quite similar to the --loop* options.

Not quite happy with the idea that 1) the option is mutated on each
operation (but at least it's consistent with --loop* and doesn't require
more properties), and 2) the ab-loop command will do nothing once all
loop iterations are done. As a concession, the OSD shows something about
"disabled".

wm4 1cb9e7efb8 stream, demux: redo origin policy thing
mpv has a very weak and very annoying policy that determines whether a
playlist should be used or not. For example, if you play a remote
playlist, you usually don't want it to be able to read local filesystem
entries. (Although for a media player the impact is small I guess.)

It's weak and annoying as in that it does not prevent certain cases
which could be interpreted as bad in some cases, such as allowing
playlists on the local filesystem to reference remote URLs. It probably
barely makes sense, but we just want to exclude some other "definitely
not a good idea" things, all while playlists generally just work, so
whatever.

The policy is:
- from the command line anything is played
- local playlists can reference anything except "unsafe" streams
  ("unsafe" means special stream inputs like libavfilter graphs)
- remote playlists can reference only remote URLs
- things like "memory://" and archives are "transparent" to this

This commit does... something. It replaces the weird stream flags with a
slightly clearer "origin" value, which is now consequently passed down
and used everywhere. It fixes some deviations from the described policy.

I wanted to force archives to reference only content within them, but
this would probably have been more complicated (or required different
abstractions), and I'm too lazy to figure it out, so archives are now
"transparent" (playlists within archives behave the same outside).

There may be a lot of bugs in this.

This is unfortunately a very noisy commit because:
- every stream open call now needs to pass the origin
- so does every demuxer open call (=> params param. gets mandatory)
- most stream were changed to provide the "origin" value
- the origin value needed to be passed along in a lot of places
- I was too lazy to split the commit

James Ross-Gowan b3b2cc44fa console.lua: add this script
Merged from mpv-repl git repo commit 5ea2bf64f9c239f0326b02. Some
changes were made on top of it:

- Tabs were converted to 4 spaces indentation (plus some manual
  indentation fixes in some places).
- All user-visible mentions of "repl" were renamed to "console".
- The README was converted to a manpage (with heavy changes, some
  additions taken from stats.rst; rossy converted the key bindings
  table to RST).
- The method to change the default key binding was changed.
- Change minor detail about "font" default value setting (not a
  functional change).
- Integrate into the player as builtin script, including an option to
  prevent loading it.

Chris Down e143966a76 player: Optionally validate st_mtime when restoring playback state
I often watch sporting events. On many occasions I get files with the
same filename for each session. For example, for F1 I might have the
following directory structure:

    F1/
        FP1.mkv
        FP2.mkv
        FP3.mkv
        Qualification.mkv
        Race.mkv

Since usually one simply watches one race after the other, I usually
just rsync the new event's files over the old ones, so, for example,
Race.mkv will be replaced from the file for the last event with the file
from the new event.

One problem with this is that I like to use --resume-playback for other
kinds of media, so I have it on by default. That works great for, say, a
movie, but doesn't work so well with this scheme, because you can
trivially forget to pass --no-resume-playback on the command line and
end up 2 hours in, watching spoilers as the race results scroll down the
screen :-)

This patch adds a new option, --resume-playback-check-mtime, which
validates that the file's mtime hasn't changed since the watch_later
configuration was saved. It does this by setting the watch_later
configuration to have the same mtime as the file after it is saved.

Switching back and forth between checking mtime and not checking mtime
works fine, as we only choose whether to compare based on it, but we
update the watch_later configuration mtime regardless of its value.

wm4 fb56896319 test: make tests part of the mpv binary
Until now, each .c file in test/ was built as separate, self-contained
binary. Each binary could be run to execute the tests it contained.

Change this and make them part of the normal mpv binary. Now the tests
have to be invoked via the --unittest option. Do this for two reasons:

- Tests now run within a "properly" initialized mpv instance, so all
  services are available.
- Possibly simplifying the situation for future build systems.

The first point is the main motivation. The mpv code is entangled with
mp_log and the option system. It feels like a bad idea to duplicate some
of the initialization of this just so you can call code using them.

I'm also getting rid of cmocka. There wouldn't be any problem to keep it
(it's a perfectly sane set of helpers), but NIH calls. I would have had
to aggregate all tests into a CMUnitTest list, and I don't see how I'd
get different types of entry points easily. Probably easily solvable,
but since we made only pretty basic use of this library, NIH-ing this is
actually easier (I needed a list of tests with custom metadata anyway,
so all what was left was reimplement the assert_* helpers).

Unit tests now don't output anything, and if they fail, they'll simply
crash and leave a message that typically requires inspecting the test
code to figure out what went wrong (and probably editing the test code
to get more information). I even merged the various test functions into
single ones. Sucks, but here you go.

chmap_sel.c is merged into chmap.c, because I didn't see the point of
this being separate. json.c drops the print_message() to go along with
the new silent-by-default idea, also there's a memory leak fix unrelated
to the rest of this commit.

The new code is enabled with --enable-tests (--enable-test goes away).
Due to waf's option parser, --enable-test still works, because it's a
unique prefix to --enable-tests.

wm4 f37f4de849 stream: turn into a ring buffer, make size configurable
In some corner cases (see #6802), it can be beneficial to use a larger
stream buffer size. Use this as argument to rewrite everything for no
reason.

Turn stream.c itself into a ring buffer, with configurable size. The
latter would have been easily achievable with minimal changes, and the
ring buffer is the hard part. There is no reason to have a ring buffer
at all, except possibly if ffmpeg don't fix their awful mp4 demuxer, and
some subtle issues with demux_mkv.c wanting to seek back by small
offsets (the latter was handled with small stream_peek() calls, which
are unneeded now).

In addition, this turns small forward seeks into reads (where data is
simply skipped). Before this commit, only stream_skip() did this (which
also mean that stream_skip() simply calls stream_seek() now).

Replace all stream_peek() calls with something else (usually
stream_read_peek()). The function was a problem, because it returned a
pointer to the internal buffer, which is now a ring buffer with
wrapping. The new function just copies the data into a buffer, and in
some cases requires callers to dynamically allocate memory. (The most
common case, demux_lavf.c, required a separate buffer allocation anyway
due to FFmpeg "idiosyncrasies".) This is the bulk of the demuxer_*
changes.

I'm not happy with this. There still isn't a good reason why there
should be a ring buffer, that is complex, and most of the time just
wastes half of the available memory. Maybe another rewrite soon.

It also contains bugs; you're an alpha tester now.

wm4 835586513d sws_utils: shuffle around some shit
Purpose uncertain. I guess it's slightly better, maybe.

The move of the sws/zimg options from VO opts (vo_opt_list) to the
top-level option list is tricky. VO opts have some helper code in vo.c,
that sends VOCTRL_SET_PANSCAN to the VO on every VO opts change. That's
because updating certain VO options used to be this way (and not just
the panscan option). This isn't needed anymore for sws/zimg options, so
explicitly move them away.

wm4 07aa29ed8e video: add zimg wrapper
This provides a very similar API to sws_utils.h, which can be used to
convert and scale from one mp_image to another.

This commit adds only the code, but does not use it anywhere.

The code is quite preliminary and barely tested. It supports only a few
pixel formats, and will return failure for many others. (Unlike
libswscale, which tries to support anything that FFmpeg knows.)

zimg itself accepts only planar formats. Supporting other formats
requires manual packing/unpacking. (Compared to libswscale, the zimg API
is generally lower level, but allows for more flexibility.) Only BGR0
output was actually tested. It appears to work.

wm4 0b4790f23f aspect: add video margin options
Semantics a bit questionable. This is done for the OSC (next commit),
and a comment added the manpage explicitly states this. Meaning this is
probably garbage and needs to revisit when the OSC changes and/or
someone wants to use this margin feature for something else.

Not sure about the subtitle thing. It's imaginable that someone uses
these options to create empty borders for subtitles on the bottom, so
subtitles should be located there. On the other hand, this gives a
rather unpolished user experience when using the (later added) OSC
feature to not overlap with the video. There's not much of a point if
the OSC still overlaps the video. However, I'm too lazy to think about
this, so it stays like it is.

wm4 17da9071a4 demux: add a on-disk cache
Somewhat similar to the old --cache-file, except for the demuxer cache.
Instead of keeping packet data in memory, it's written to disk and read
back when needed.

The idea is to reduce main memory usage, while allowing fast seeking in
large cached network streams (especially live streams). Keeping the
packet metadata on disk would be rather hard (would use mmap or so, or
rewrite the entire demux.c packet queue handling), and since it's
relatively small, just keep it in memory.

Also for simplicity, the disk cache is append-only. If you're watching
really long livestreams, and need pruning, you're probably out of luck.
This still could be improved by trying to free unused blocks with
fallocate(), but since we're writing multiple streams in an interleaved
manner, this is slightly hard.

Some rather gross ugliness in packet.h: we want to store the file
position of the cached data somewhere, but on 32 bit architectures, we
don't have any usable 64 bit members for this, just the buf/len fields,
which add up to 64 bit - so the shitty union aliases this memory.

Error paths untested. Side data (the complicated part of trying to
serialize ffmpeg packets) untested.

Stream recording had to be adjusted. Some minor details change due to
this, but probably nothing important.

The change in attempt_range_joining() is because packets in cache
have no valid len field. It was a useful check (heuristically
finding broken cases), but not a necessary one.

Various other approaches were tried. It would be interesting to list
them and to mention the pros and cons, but I don't feel like it.

Hopefully, the manpage wall of text makes it clear enough that the whole
shit can easily crash and burn. (Although it shouldn't literally crash.
That would be a bug. It possibly _could_ start a fire by entering some
sort of endless loop, not a literal one, just something where it tries
to do work without making progress.)

(Some obvious bugs I simply ignored for this initial version, but
there's a number of potential bugs I can't even imagine. Normal playback
should remain completely unaffected, though.)

How this works is also described in the manpage. Basically, we demux in
reverse, then we decode in reverse, then we render in reverse.

The decoding part is the simplest: just reorder the decoder output. This
weirdly integrates with the timeline/ordered chapter code, which also
has special requirements on feeding the packets to the decoder in a
non-straightforward way (it doesn't conflict, although a bugmessmass
breaks correct slicing of segments, so EDL/ordered chapter playback is
broken in backward direction).

Backward demuxing is pretty involved. In theory, it could be much
easier: simply iterating the usual demuxer output backward. But this
just doesn't fit into our code, so there's a cthulhu nightmare of shit.
To be specific, each stream (audio, video) is reversed separately. At
least this means we can do backward playback within cached content (for
example, you could play backwards in a live stream; on that note, it
disables prefetching, which would lead to losing new live video, but
this could be avoided).

The fuckmess also meant that I didn't bother trying to support
subtitles. Subtitles are a problem because they're "sparse" streams.
They need to be "passively" demuxed: you don't try to read a subtitle
packet, you demux audio and video, and then look whether there was a
subtitle packet. This means to get subtitles for a time range, you need
to know that you demuxed video and audio over this range, which becomes
pretty messy when you demux audio and video backwards separately.

Backward display is the most weird (and potentially buggy) part. To
avoid that we need to touch a LOT of timing code, we negate all
timestamps. The basic idea is that due to the navigation, all
comparisons and subtractions of timestamps keep working, and you don't
need to touch every single of them to "reverse" them.

E.g.:

    bool before = pts_a < pts_b;

would need to be:

    bool before = forward
        ? pts_a < pts_b
        : pts_a > pts_b;

or:

    bool before = pts_a * dir < pts_b * dir;

or if you, as it's implemented now, just do this after decoding:

    pts_a *= dir;
    pts_b *= dir;

and then in the normal timing/renderer code:

    bool before = pts_a < pts_b;

Consequently, we don't need many changes in the latter code. But some
assumptions inhererently true for forward playback may have been broken
anyway. What is mainly needed is fixing places where values are passed
between positive and negative "domains". For example, seeking and
timestamp user display always uses positive timestamps. The main mess is
that it's not obvious which domain a given variable should or does use.

Well, in my tests with a single file, it suddenly started to work when I
did this. I'm honestly surprised that it did, and that I didn't have to
change a single line in the timing code past decoder (just something
minor to make external/cached text subtitles display). I committed it
immediately while avoiding thinking about it. But there really likely
are subtle problems of all sorts.

As far as I'm aware, gstreamer also supports backward playback. When I
looked at this years ago, I couldn't find a way to actually try this,
and I didn't revisit it now. Back then I also read talk slides from the
person who implemented it, and I'm not sure if and which ideas I might
have taken from it. It's possible that the timestamp reversal is
inspired by it, but I didn't check. (I think it claimed that it could
avoid large changes by changing a sign?)

VapourSynth has some sort of reverse function, which provides a backward
view on a video. The function itself is trivial to implement, as
VapourSynth aims to provide random access to video by frame numbers (so
you just request decreasing frame numbers). From what I remember, it
wasn't exactly fluid, but it worked. It's implemented by creating an
index, and seeking to the target on demand, and a bunch of caching. mpv
could use it, but it would either require using VapourSynth as demuxer
and decoder for everything, or replacing the current file every time
something is supposed to be played backwards.

FFmpeg's libavfilter has reversal filters for audio and video. These
require buffering the entire media data of the file, and don't really
fit into mpv's architecture. It could be used by playing a libavfilter
graph that also demuxes, but that's like VapourSynth but worse.

wm4 b30e85508a Remove classic Linux analog TV support, and DVB runtime controls
Linux analog TV support (via tv://) was excessively complex, and
whenever I attempted to use it (cameras or loopback devices), it didn't
work well, or would have required some major work to update it. It's
very much stuck in the analog past (my favorite are the frequency tables
in frequencies.c for analog TV channels which don't exist anymore).

Especially cameras and such work fine with libavdevice and better than
tv://, for example:

  mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0

(adding --profile=low-latency --untimed even makes it mostly realtime)

Adding a new input layer that targets such "modern" uses would be
acceptable, if anyone is interested in it. The old TV code is just too
focused on actual analog TV.

DVB is rather obscure, but has an active maintainer, so don't remove it.
However, the demux/stream ctrl layer must go, so remove controls for
channel switching. Most of these could be reimplemented by using the
normal method for option runtime changes.

wm4 559a400ac3 demux, stream: rip out the classic stream cache
The demuxer cache is the only cache now. Might need another change to
combat seeking failures in mp4 etc. The only bad thing is the loss of
cache-speed, which was sort of nice to have.

wm4 a770006c6e vd_lavc: move hwdec opts to local config, don't use global MPOpts
The --hwdec* options are a good fit for the vd_lavc local option
struct. This annoyingly requires manual prefixing of most of these
options with --vd-lavc (could be avoided by using more sub-struct
craziness, but let's not).

wm4 dbcd654e61 player: make playback termination asynchronous
Until now, stopping playback aborted the demuxer and I/O layer violently
by signaling mp_cancel (bound to libavformat's AVIOInterruptCB
mechanism). Change it to try closing them gracefully.

The main purpose is to silence those libavformat errors that happen when
you request termination. Most of libavformat barely cares about the
termination mechanism (AVIOInterruptCB), and essentially it's like the
network connection is abruptly severed, or file I/O suddenly returns I/O
errors. There were issues with dumb TLS warnings, parsers complaining
about incomplete data, and some special protocols that require server
communication to gracefully disconnect.

We still want to abort it forcefully if it refuses to terminate on its
own, so a timeout is required. Users can set the timeout to 0, which
should give them the old behavior.

This also removes the old mechanism that treats certain commands (like
"quit") specially, and tries to terminate the demuxers even if the core
is currently frozen. This is for situations where the core synchronized
to the demuxer or stream layer while network is unresponsive. This in
turn can only happen due to the "program" or "cache-size" properties in
the current code (see one of the previous commits). Also, the old
mechanism doesn't fit particularly well with the new one. We wouldn't
want to abort playback immediately on a "quit" command - the new code is
all about giving it a chance to end it gracefully. We'd need some sort
of watchdog thread or something equally complicated to handle this. So
just remove it.

The change in osd.c is to prevent that it clears the status line while
waiting for termination. The normal status line code doesn't output
anything useful at this point, and the code path taken clears it, both
of which is an annoying behavior change, so just let it show the old
one.

Rostislav Pehlivanov e3e2c794ef vaapi: add option to select a non-default device path
On machines with multiple GPUs, /dev/dri/renderD128 isn't guaranteed
to point to a valid vaapi device. This just adds the option to specify
what path to use.

The old fallback /dev/dri/card0 is gone but that's not a loss as its
a legacy interface no longer accepted as valid by libva.

wm4 775b86212d video: add option to reduce latency by 1 or 2 frames
The playback start logic explicitly waits until the first frame has been
displayed. Usually this will introduce a wait of 1 vsync. For normal
playback this doesn't matter, but with respect to low latency needs,
this only leads to additional data getting queued up in the demuxer or
network buffers.

Another thing is that the timing logic decodes 1 frame ahead (= 1 frame
extra latency) to determine the exact duration of a frame.

To be fair, there doesn't really seem to be a hard reason why this is
needed. With the current code, enabling the option does lead to A/V
desync sometimes (if the demuxer FPS is too inaccurate), and also frame
drops at playback start in some situations. But this all seems to be
avoidable, if the timing logic were to be rewritten completely, which
should probably happen in the future. Thus the new option comes with the
warning that it can be removed any time. This is also why the option has
"hack" in the name.
