These were printed only with -v. Most streams had them set to useless
or redundant values, so it's just badly maintained bloat.
Since we remove the "author" field too, and since this may have
copyright implications, we add the contents of the author fields to
the file headers, except if the name is already part of the file header.
Stream implementations could set this to a unix file descriptor. The
generic stream code could use it as fallback for a few things. This
was confusing and insane. In most cases, the stream implementations
defined all callbacks, so setting the fd member didn't have any
advantages, other than avoiding defining a private struct to store it.
It appears that even if the stream implementation used close() on the
fd (or something equivalent), stream.c would close() it a second time
(and on windows, even would call closesocket()), which should be proof
for the insanity of this code.
For stream_file.c, additionally make sure we don't close stdin or
stdout if "-" is used as filename.
For stream_vcd.c, remove the control() code. This code most likely
didn't make the slightest sense, because it used a different type
for stream->priv. It also leaked memory. Maybe it worked, but it's
incorrect and insignificant anyway, so kill it. This code was added
with commit 9521c19 (svn commit 31019).
Untested for all protocols other than stream_file.c.
Get rid of the strange and messy reliance on DEMUXER_TYPE_ constants.
Instead of having two open functions for the demuxer callbacks (which
somehow are both optional, but you can also decide to implement both...),
just have one function. This function takes a parameter that tells the
demuxer how strictly it should check for the file headers. This is a
nice simplification and allows more flexibility.
Remove the file extension code. This literally did nothing (anymore).
Change demux_lavf so that we check our other builtin demuxers first
before libavformat tries to guess by file extension.
This removes the dependency on DEMUXER_TYPE_* and the file_format
parameter from the stream open functions.
Remove some of the playlist handling code. It looks like this was
needed only for loading linked mov files with demux_mov (which was
removed long ago).
Delete a minor bit of dead network-related code from stream.c as well.
Generally remove all accesses to demux_stream from all the code, except
inside of demux.c. Make it completely private to demux.c.
This simplifies the code because it removes an extra concept. In demux.c
it is reduced to a simple packet queue. There were other uses of
demux_stream, but they were removed or are removed with this commit.
Remove the extra "ds" argument to demux fill_buffer callback. It was
used by demux_avi and the TV pseudo-demuxer only.
Remove usage of d_video->last_pts from the no-correct-pts code. This
field contains the last PTS retrieved after a packet that is not NOPTS.
We can easily get this value manually because we read the packets
ourselves. Reuse sh_video->last_pts to store the packet PTS values. It
was used only by the correct-pts code before, and like d_video->last_pts,
it is reset on seek. The behavior should be exactly the same.
Currently, all demuxer fill_buffer functions have a demux_stream
parameter. We want to remove that, but the TV code still depends on
it. Add a hack to remove that dependency.
The problem with the TV code is that reading video and audio frames
blocks, so in order to avoid a deadlock, you should read either of
them only if the decoder actually requests new data.
This is not directly related to the handling of format changes itself,
but playing audio normally after the change. This was broken: the output
byte rate was not recalculated, so audio-video sync was simply broken.
Fix this by calculating the byte rate on the fly, instead of storing it
in sh_audio.
Format changes are relatively common (switches between stereo and 5.1
in TV recordings), so this fixes a somewhat critical bug.
Add this option, which lets users set the cache size without forcing it
even when playing from the local filesystem.
Also document the default value explicitly.
The Matroska linked segments case is slightly simplified: they can
never come from network (mostly because it'd be insane, and we can't
even list files from network sources), so the cache will never be
enabled automatically.
This is a regression caused by 854303a. This commit removed the include of
`sys/time.h` which was included in `cache.c` through a chain of recurvive
includes.
These separate arrays were used by the old demuxers and are not needed
anymore. We can simplify track switching as well.
One interesting thing is that stream/tv.c (which is a demuxer) won't
respect --no-audio anymore. It will probably work as expected, but it
will still open an audio device etc. - this is because track selection
is now always done with the runtime track switching mechanism. Maybe
the TV code could be updated to do proper runtime switching, but I
can't test this stuff.
Delete demux_avi, demux_asf, demux_mpg, demux_ts. libavformat does
better than them (except in rare corner cases), and the demuxers have
a bad influence on the rest of the code. Often they don't output
proper packets, and require additional audio and video parsing. Most
work only in --no-correct-pts mode.
Remove them to facilitate further cleanups.
Commit 7b16d4b changed some stream implementations to check the buffer
size passed to them. This made stream_cdda stop working, because the
default buffer size is smaller than the CDIO frame size. So pass the
sector size instead of the (arbitrary) default buffer size.
Seeking to position 0 meant to try reconnecting with some streams,
actually just the internal http implementation. This has been removed,
so we don't need the special handling anymore.
This means we don't have to be stuck in a retry loop if the stream
doesn't even support reconnect.
stream_vstream.c in particular was actually dependent on the network
code, and didn't compile anymore.
Cleanup the protocol list in mpv.rst, and add some missing ones
supported by libavformat to stream_lavf.c.
This was an old leftover from an earlier cleanup (which happened in
2003), and which used "special" stuff for streams that could be only
forward-seeked.
Also, don't add mode flags to s->flags; they're supposed to be in
s->mode instead.
This was under CONFIG_NETWORKING, so in theory it should have been save
to remove. But actually this disables forward skipping when reading
from a pipe. (Still a questionable feature, because it doesn't behave
well with libavformat - but it was not supposed to be changed.)
This commit removes the "old" networking code in favor of libavformat's
code.
The code was still used for mp_http, udp, ftp, cddb. http has been
mapped to libavformat's http support since approximately 6 months ago.
udp and ftp have support in ffmpeg (though ftp was added only last
month). cddb support is removed with this commit - it's probably not
important and rarely used if at all, so we don't care about it.
When reading something successfully, the eof flag should never be 1, so
clear it in these situations. The eof flag will be set properly on the
next read call.
STREAM_CTRL_GET_METADATA will be used to poll for streamcast metadata.
Also add DEMUXER_CTRL_UPDATE_INFO, which could in theory be used by
demux_lavf.c. (Unfortunately, libavformat is too crappy to read metadata
mid-stream for mp3 or ogg, so we don't implement it.)
stream_read_unbuffered() can sometimes return negative values on error.
Change that to return 0 - the negative values are nowhere used anyway.
If distinguishing errors and EOF is really needed, a flag could be added
instead.
This also fixes the stream_read_partial() call in cache.c, which assumes
the return values is always >= 0.
Querying this caused the cache to block and wait. Some parts of the
frontend (like progress bar) call this very often, so cache performance
was ruined in these cases.
Also print a message in -v mode when the cache is blocked for a
STREAM_CTRL. This should make debugging similar issues easier.
Seems like a completely unnecessary complication. Instead, always add a
1 byte padding (could be extended if a caller needs it), and clear it.
Also add some documentation. There was some, but it was outdated and
incomplete.
Or rather, keep hacking it until it somehow works. The problem here was
that trying to avoid calling STREAM_CTRL_GET_CURRENT_TIME too often
didn't really work, so the cache sometimes returned incorrect times.
Also try to avoid the situation that looking up the time with an
advanced read position doesn't really work, as well as when trying to
look it up when EOF or cache end has been reached. In that case we have
read_filepos == max_filepos, which is "outside" of the cache, but
querying the time is still valid.
Should also fix the issue that demuxing streams with demux_lavf and if
STREAM_CTRL_GET_CURRENT_TIME is not supported messed up the reported
playback position.
This stuff is still not sane, but the way the player tries to fix the
playback time and how the DVD/BD stream inputs return the current time
based on the current byte position isn't sane to begin with. So, let's
leave it at bad hacks.
The two changes that touch s->eof are unrelated and basically of
cosmetic nature (separate commit would be too noisy.)
