Before this commit, auto_loaded and lang were only set for the first
track in auto-loaded external files. Likewise, for the title and
lang arguments to the sub-add and audio-add commands.
Fixes#5432
Setting lavfi-complex at runtime will now forcefully reselect the tracks
as needed, even if it was a "proper" track selection via --aid or --vid.
Before this commit, it just failed and complained that the VO/AO was
already "used".
Requested.
This makes it actually somewhat simpler, and doesn't have any
disadvantages. It should also make some new features easier.
Mostly just moves code around.
The somewhat confusing thing is that many filters (including track->dec)
have a public struct, but to free them, you need to free the mp_filter
pointer itself (track->dec->f). The assignment wrote to a dangling
pointer, instead of removing the dangling pointer.
(Other than that, this idiom is actually nice.)
Use the decoder wrapper that was introduced for video. This removes all
code duplication the old audio decoder wrapper had with the video code.
(The audio wrapper was copy pasted from the video one over a decade ago,
and has been kept in sync ever since by the power of copy&paste. Since
the original copy&paste was possibly done by someone who did not answer
to the LGPL relicensing, this should also remove all doubts about
whether any of this code is left, since we now completely remove any
code that could possibly have been based on it.)
There is some complication with spdif handling, and a minor behavior
change (it will restrict the list of codecs to spdif if spdif is to be
used), but there should not be any difference in practice.
Move dec_video.c to filters/f_decoder_wrapper.c. It essentially becomes
a source filter. vd.h mostly disappears, because mp_filter takes care of
the dataflow, but its remains are in struct mp_decoder_fns.
One goal is to simplify dataflow by letting the filter framework handle
it (or more accurately, using its conventions). One result is that the
decode calls disappear from video.c, because we simply connect the
decoder wrapper and the filter chain with mp_pin_connect().
Another goal is to eventually remove the code duplication between the
audio and video paths for this. This commit prepares for this by trying
to make f_decoder_wrapper.c extensible, so it can be used for audio as
well later.
Decoder framedropping changes a bit. It doesn't seem to be worse than
before, and it's an obscure feature, so I'm content with its new state.
Some special code that was apparently meant to avoid dropping too many
frames in a row is removed, though.
I'm not sure how the source code tree should be organized. For one,
video/decode/vd_lavc.c is the only file in its directory, which is a bit
annoying.
Get rid of the old vf.c code. Replace it with a generic filtering
framework, which can potentially handle more than just --vf. At least
reimplementing --af with this code is planned.
This changes some --vf semantics (including runtime behavior and the
"vf" command). The most important ones are listed in interface-changes.
vf_convert.c is renamed to f_swscale.c. It is now an internal filter
that can not be inserted by the user manually.
f_lavfi.c is a refactor of player/lavfi.c. The latter will be removed
once --lavfi-complex is reimplemented on top of f_lavfi.c. (which is
conceptually easy, but a big mess due to the data flow changes).
The existing filters are all changed heavily. The data flow of the new
filter framework is different. Especially EOF handling changes - EOF is
now a "frame" rather than a state, and must be passed through exactly
once.
Another major thing is that all filters must support dynamic format
changes. The filter reconfig() function goes away. (This sounds complex,
but since all filters need to handle EOF draining anyway, they can use
the same code, and it removes the mess with reconfig() having to predict
the output format, which completely breaks with libavfilter anyway.)
In addition, there is no automatic format negotiation or conversion.
libavfilter's primitive and insufficient API simply doesn't allow us to
do this in a reasonable way. Instead, filters can use f_autoconvert as
sub-filter, and tell it which formats they support. This filter will in
turn add actual conversion filters, such as f_swscale, to perform
necessary format changes.
vf_vapoursynth.c uses the same basic principle of operation as before,
but with worryingly different details in data flow. Still appears to
work.
The hardware deint filters (vf_vavpp.c, vf_d3d11vpp.c, vf_vdpaupp.c) are
heavily changed. Fortunately, they all used refqueue.c, which is for
sharing the data flow logic (especially for managing future/past
surfaces and such). It turns out it can be used to factor out most of
the data flow. Some of these filters accepted software input. Instead of
having ad-hoc upload code in each filter, surface upload is now
delegated to f_autoconvert, which can use f_hwupload to perform this.
Exporting VO capabilities is still a big mess (mp_stream_info stuff).
The D3D11 code drops the redundant image formats, and all code uses the
hw_subfmt (sw_format in FFmpeg) instead. Although that too seems to be a
big mess for now.
f_async_queue is unused.
If you play a video with an external audio track, and do backwards
keyframe seeks, then audio can be missing. This is because a backwards
seek can end up way before the seek target (this is just how this seek
mode works). The audio file will be seeked at the correct seek target
(since audio usually has a much higher seek granularity), which results
in silence being played until the video reaches the originally intended
seek target.
There was a hack in audio.c to deal with this. Replace it with a
different hack. The new hack probably works about as well as the old
hack, except it doesn't add weird crap to the audio resync path (which
is some of the worst code here, so this is some nice preparation for
rewriting it). As a more practical advantage, it doesn't discard the
audio demuxer packet cache. The old code did, which probably ruined
seeking in youtube DASH streams.
A non-hacky solution would be handling external files in the demuxer
layer. Then chaining the seeks would be pretty easy. But we're pretty
far from that, because it would either require intrusive changes to the
demuxer layer, or wouldn't be flexible enough to load/unload external
files at runtime. Maybe later.
The underlying logic is still the same (basically pausing if the demuxer
cache underruns), but clean up the higher level logic a bit. It goes
from 3 levels of nested if statements to 1.
Also remove the code duplication for the --cache-pause-initial logic.
In addition, make sure an earlier buffering state has no influence on
the new state after a seek (this is also why some of the state resetting
can be removed from loadfile.c).
Initialize cache_buffer always to 100. It basically means we start out
assuming all buffers are filled enough. This actually matters for
verbose messages only, but removes some weird special casing.
Before this commit, some autoselection of tracks coming from files
loaded with --external-files was still done. This commit removes all of
it, and the only way to select a track is via the explicit stream
selection options like --vid/--sid/--aid.
I think this was always the original intention. The change could in
theory still unintentionally surprise some users, so add a changelog
entry.
This does not affect --audio-file/--sub-file, even if these contain
mismatching track types. E.g. if audio files passed to --audio-file
contain subtitles, these should still be selected. Past feature requests
indicate that users want this.
A release has been made, so drop options deprecated for that release.
Also drop some options which have been deprecated a much longer time
before.
Also fix a typo in client-api-changes.rst.
This will help with things like livestreams.
As a minor detail, subtitles are excluded, because they sometimes have
"unused" events after video and audio ends. To avoid this annoying
corner case, just ignore them.
Until now, using --sub-file would add only subtitle tracks from the
given file. (E.g. if you passed a video file, only the subtitle tracks
from it were added, not the video or audio tracks.)
This is slightly messy (because streams are hidden), and users don't
even want it, as shown by #5132. Change it to always add all streams.
But if there's no stream of the wanted type, we still report an error
and do not add any streams. It's also made sure none of the other track
types are autoselected.
Also adjust the error messages on load failure slightly.
Fixes#5132.
It appears libavformat never sets the file start time for subtitles, so
this special check is not needed. The original idea was probably that
_if_ the demuxer set the start time to the first subtitle packet, the
subtitles would be shifted incorrectly.
Added a get_play_start_pts function to coincide with the
already-existing get_play_end_pts. This prevents code duplication
and also serves to make it so code that probes the start time
(such as get_current_pos_ratio) will work correctly with chapters.
Included is a bug fix for misc.c/rel_time_to_abs that makes it work
correctly with chapters when --rebase-start-time=no is set.
Always display the duration as "unknown" if the duration is known. Also
fix that at least demux_lavf reported unknown duration as 0 (fix by
setting the default to unknown in demux.c).
Remove the dumb _u formatter function, and use a different approach to
avoiding displaying "unknown" as playback time on playback start (set
last_seek_pts for that).
This is pretty pointless, but I believe it allows us to claim that the
new code is not affected by the copyright of the old code. This is
needed, because the original mp_audio struct was written by someone who
has disagreed with LGPL relicensing (it was called af_data at the time,
and was defined in af.h).
The "GPL'ed" struct contents that surive are pretty trivial: just the
data pointer, and some metadata like the format, samplerate, etc. - but
at least in this case, any new code would be extremely similar anyway,
and I'm not really sure whether it's OK to claim different copyright. So
what we do is we just use AVFrame (which of course is LGPL with 100%
certainty), and add some accessors around it to adapt it to mpv
conventions.
Also, this gets rid of some annoying conventions of mp_audio, like the
struct fields that require using an accessor to write to them anyway.
For the most part, this change is only dumb replacements of mp_audio
related functions and fields. One minor actual change is that you can't
allocate the new type on the stack anymore.
Some code still uses mp_audio. All audio filter code will be deleted, so
it makes no sense to convert this code. (Audio filters which are LGPL
and which we keep will have to be ported to a new filter infrastructure
anyway.) player/audio.c uses it because it interacts with the old filter
code. push.c has some complex use of mp_audio and mp_audio_buffer, but
this and pull.c will most likely be rewritten to do something else.
Refresh seeks are automatically issued when changing filters, which
improves user experience if these filters change buffering or such.
The refresh seek could actually overwrite a previously ongoing seek:
set pause yes
set time-pos 10
set vf ""
Here, the video code issued a refresh seek to the previous video
position, which could be different from the previously triggered (and
still ongoing) seek, this overwriting the seek.
Factor all refresh seek handling into a new function, and make it handle
ongoing seeks correctly.
Remove the weird new canonical_pts field, which actually had no use.
Fixes#4757.
Tends to be somewhat glitchy if subtitles are enabled, and you enable
and disable tracks.
On error, this will disable --lavfi-complex, which will result in
whatever behavior.
Remove the various redundant m_config_set_option* calls, rename the
remaining one to m_config_set_option_cli(), and merge the
m_config_parse_option() function.
These files have all in common that they were fully or mostly taken from
mplayer.c. (mplayer.c was a huge file that contains almost all of the
playback core, until it was split into multiple parts.) This was
probably the hardest part to relicense, because so much code was moved
around all the time.
player/audio.c still does not compile. We'll have to redo audio
filtering. Once that is done, we can probably actually provide an
actual LGPL configure switch.
Here is a relatively detailed list of potential issues:
8d190244: author did not reply, parts were made GPL-only in a previous
commit.
7882ea9b: author could not be reached, but the code is gone. wscript
still has --datadir switch, but I don't think this is relevant to
copyright.
f197efd5: unclear origin, but I consider the code gone anyway (replaced
with generic OSD mechanisms).
8337d9c2: author did not reply, but only the option still exists (under
a different name), other code was removed.
d8fd7131: did not reply. Disabled in a previous commit.
05258251: same author as above. Both fields actually seem to have
vanished (even when tracking renames), so no action taken.
d459e644, 268b2c1a: author did not reply, but we reuse only the options
(with different names and slightly or fully different semantics, and
completely different implementations), so I don't think this is relevant
for copyright.
09e742fe, 17c39c4e: same as above.
e8a173de, bff4b3ee: author could not be reached. The commands were
reworked to properties, and the code outside of the TV code were moved
back to the TV code. So I don't think copyright applies to the current
command.c parts (mp_property_tv_color, mp_property_tv_freq,
mp_property_tv_scan). The TV parts remain GPL.
0810e427: could not be reached. Disabled in a previous commit.
43744a2d: unknown author, but this was replaced by dynamic alloc (if the
change is even copyrightable).
116ca0c7: unknown author; reasoning see input.c relicensing commit.
e7e4d1d8: these semantics still exist, but as generic code, and this
code was fully removed.
f1175cd9: the author of the cited patch is unknown, and upon inspection
it turns out that I was only using the idea to pause the player on EOF,
so I claim it's not copyright relevant.
25affdcc: author could not be reached (yet) - but it's only a function
rename, not copyrightable.
5728504c was committed by Arpi (who agreed), but hints that it might be
by a different author. In fact it seems to be mostly this patch:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2001-November/002041.html
The author did not respond, but it all seems to have been removed later.
It's a terrible mess though. Arpi reverted the A-V sync code at first,
but left the RTC code for a while. The following commits remove these
changes 100%: 14b35442, 7181a091, 31482783, 614f8475, df58e822.
cehoyos did explicitly not agree to LGPL, but was involved in the
following changes:
c99d8fc8: applied a patch and didn't modify it, the original author
agreed.
40ac0d31: author could not be reached, but all code is gone anyway. The
"af" command has a similar function, but works completely different and
actually reuses a mechanism older than this patch.
54350436: applied a patch, but didn't modify it, except for adding a
German translation, which was removed later.
a2dda036: same situation as above
240b743e: this was made GPL-only in a previous commit
7b25afd7: same as above (for now)
kirijua could not be reached, but was a regular patch contributor:
c2c997fd: video equalizer code move; probably not copyrightable. Is GPL
due to Nick anyway.
be54f481: technically, this became the audio track property later. But
all what is left is the fact that you pass a track ID to it, so consider
the original coypright non-relevant.
2f376d1b: this was rewritten in b7052b43, but for now we can afford to
be careful, so this was marked as GPL only in a previous commit.
43844d09: remaining parts in main.c were reverted in a previous commit.
anders has mostly disagreed with the LGPL relicensing. Does not want
libaf to become LGPL, but made some concessions. In particular, he
granted us permission to relicense 4943e9c52c and 242aa6ebd4. We also
consider some of his changes remaining in mpv not relevant for copyright
(such as 735de602 - we won't remove the this option completely). We will
completely remove his other contributions, including the entire audio
filter chain. For now, this stuff is marked as GPL only. The remaining
question is how much code in player/audio.c (based on the former
mplayer.c and dec_audio.c) is under his copyright. I made claims about
this in a previous commit.
Nick(ols) Kurshev, svn username "nick" and "nickols_k", could not be
reached. He had a lot of changes in early MPlayer. It seems all of that
was removed, at least in mpv. His main work, like VIDIX or libswscale
work, does not exist in mpv anymore, but the changes to mplayer.c and
other core parts still deserve attention:
a4119f6b, fb927549, ad3529b8, e11b23dc, 5f2178be, 93c371d5: removed in
b43d67e0, d1628d12, 24ed01fe, df58e822.
0a83c6ec, 104c125e, 4e067f62, aec5dcc8, b587a3d6, f3de6e6b: DR, VAA, and
"tune" stuff was fully removed later on or replaced with other
mechanisms.
340183b0: screenshots were redone later (the VOCTRL was even removed,
with an independent implementation using the same VOCTRL a few years
later), so not relevant anymore. Basically only the 's' shortcut remains
(but not its implementation).
92c5c274, bffd4007, 555c6766: for now marked as GPL only in a previous
commit.
Might contain some trace amounts of "michael"'s copyright, who agreed to
LGPL only once the core is relicensed. This will still be respected, but
I don't think it matters at this in this case. (Some code touched by him
was merged into mplayer.c, and then disappeared after heavy
refactoring.)
I tried to be as careful and as complete as possible. It can't be
excluded that amends to this will be made later.
This does not make the player LGPL yet.
Commit d8fd7131 changes this. "tibcu" did not reply. While I'm not sure
whether copyrightable code remains, I'd tend towards saying yes (the
basic idea is still intact after years of refactoring), so make it
GPL-only for now.
The previous commit set "mpctx->playback_active = false;" before unload
hooks were processed. This was intentional, but could in theory cause
playback_active to be set to true again, and actually it's plain wrong
if playback was exited in the middle it. There needs to be something
else that forces playback_active to be set to false while in this
unloading state.
Make mpv_observe_property() work correctly on them even with
--keep-open-pause=no.
This also changes the situations in which the screensaver is
enabled/disabled subtly.
Merge the pause_player() and unpause_player() functions. Make sure the
pause events are emitted properly. We can now set the internal pause
state based on a predicate, instead of e.g. handle_pause_on_low_cache()
making a mess to trigger the internal pause state as wanted.
Preparation for some more changes.
This was excessively useless, and I want my time back that was needed to
explain users why they don't want to use it.
It captured the byte stream only, and even for types of streams it was
designed for (like transport streams), it was rather questionable.
As part of the removal, un-inline demux_run_on_thread() (which has only
1 call-site now), and sort of reimplement --stream-dump to write the
data directly instead of using the removed capture code.
(--stream-dump is also very useless, and I struggled coming up with an
explanation for it in the manpage.)
Disabling cache readahead by default until at least 1 track is selected
is mainly for external files and such, where you don't want them to use
up resources until they're actually used.
It doesn't make sense to disable the cache for the demuxer opened for
prefetch. Also, it's fine to let it do that for the main file too (doing
or not doing it is of little consequence). That saves us from having to
distinguish them.
Since for mpv CLI, the player state is a singleton, full prefetching is
a bit tricky. We do it only on the demuxer layer.
The implementation reuses the old "open thread". This means there is
significant potential for regressions even if the new option is not
used. This is made worse by the fact that I barely tested this code.
The generic mpctx_run_reentrant() wrapper is also removed - this was its
only user, and its remains become part of the new implementation.
As preparation for file prefetching, we basically have to get rid of
using mpctx->playback_abort for the main demuxer (i.e. the thing that
can be prefetched). It can't be changed on a running demuxer, and always
using the same cancel handle would either mean aborting playback would
also abort prefetching, or that playback can't be aborted anymore.
Make this more flexible with some refactoring.
Thi is a quite shitty solution if you ask me, but YOLO.
Was intended to show a "nice" message on edition switching. In practice,
the message was never visible. The OSD code checks whether a demuxer is
loaded, and if not, discards the message - meaning if the OSD code
happened to run before the demuxer was fully loaded, no message was
shown. This is apparently a regression due to extensions to the OSD and
the situations in which it can be used.
Remove the broken code since it's too annoying to fix. Instead, a
default property message will be shown, which is a bit uglier, but
actually not too unuseful.
The way playback/loading is stopped on the demuxer layer makes it report
an error to the higher levels of the player. But if playback/loading was
explicitly aborted, printing such an error is confusing and misleading.
This was probably just an oversight anyway. Fix it by using the libmpv
API reported error field instead, which handles this better.
Move the screensaver enable/disable determination to a central place,
and call it if the stop-screensaver property is changed.
Also, do not stop the screensaver when in idle mode (i.e. no file is
loaded).
Fixes#3615.
Add this flag where needed. You shouldn't be able to set e.g. config-dir
in these situations.
Remove the mpctx->initialized check from the property/option bridge,
since it's in use strictly only after initialization. Likewise, the
apply-profile command doesn't need to check this.
Move the MPV_LEAK_REPORT env query to mp_create(), where it will also be
used by the client API (it might be helpful, so why not). The same
applies to MPV_VERBOSE.
The prepare_playlist() call doesn't need to be in mp_initialize() and
can just be in mp_play_files() to reduce the size of mp_initialize().
Also, remove wakeup_playloop(), which is 100% redundant with
mp_wakeup_core_cb().
This does 3 kinds of changes:
- change sleeptime=x to mp_set_timeout()
- change sleeptime=0 to mp_wakeup_core() calls (to be more explicit)
- change commands etc. to call mp_wakeup_core() if they do changes that
require the playloop to be rerun
This is preparation for the following changes. The goal is to process
client API requests without having to rerun the playloop every time. As
of this commit, the changes should not change behavior. In particular,
the playloop is still implicitly woken up on every command.
Currently, calling mp_input_wakeup() will wake up the core thread (also
called the playloop). This seems odd, but currently the core indeed
calls mp_input_wait() when it has nothing more to do. It's done this way
because MPlayer used input_ctx as central "mainloop".
This is probably going to change. Remove direct calls to this function,
and replace it with mp_wakeup_core() calls. ao and vo are changed to use
opaque callbacks and not use input_ctx for this purpose. Other code
already uses opaque callbacks, or has legitimate reasons to use
input_ctx directly (such as sending actual user input).
Remove the per-part force_redraw flags, and instead make the difference
between flagging dirty state and returning it to the player frontend
more explicit. The big issue is that 1. the OSD needs to know the dirty
state, and it should be cleared strictly when it is re-rendered
(force_redraw flag), and 2. the player core needs to be notified once,
and the notification must be reset (want_redraw flag).
The call in loadfile.c is replaced by making osd_set_sub() set the
change flag. Increasing the change flag on dirty state (the force_redraw
check in render_object()) should not be needed, because OSD part
renderers set it correctly (at least now).
Doing this just because someone pointed this out.
