demux_lavf probes up to 2 MB of data in the worst case. When the ffmpeg
demuxer is actually opened, the stream is seeked back to 0, and the
previously read data is thrown away.
This wasn't a problem for playback of local files, but it's less than
ideal for playing from slow media (like web streams), and breaks
completely if the media is not seekable (pipes, some web streams).
This new function is intended to allow fixing this. demux_lavf will use
it to put the read probe data back into the buffer.
The simplest way of implementing this function is by making it
transparently extend the normal stream buffer. This makes sure no
existing code is broken by new weird special cases. For simplicity
and to avoid possible performance loss due to extra dereferencing
when accessing the buffer, we just extend the static buffer from
8 KB to 2 MB. Normally, most of these 2 MB will stay uncommitted, so
there's no associated waste of memory. If demux_lavf really reads all
2 MB, the memory will be committed and stay unused, though.
Before this commit, the cache was franken-hacked on top of the stream
API. You had to use special functions (like cache_stream_fill_buffer()
instead of stream_fill_buffer()), which would access the stream in a
cached manner.
The whole idea about the previous design was that the cache runs in a
thread or in a forked process, while the cache awa functions made sure
the stream instance looked consistent to the user. If you used the
normal functions instead of the special ones while the cache was
running, you were out of luck.
Make it a bit more reasonable by turning the cache into a stream on its
own. This makes it behave exactly like a normal stream. The stream
callbacks call into the original (uncached) stream to do work. No
special cache functions or redirections are needed. The only different
thing about cache streams is that they are created by special functions,
instead of being part of the auto_open_streams[] array.
To make things simpler, remove the threading implementation, which was
messed into the code. The threading code could perhaps be kept, but I
don't really want to have to worry about this special case. A proper
threaded implementation will be added later.
Remove the cache enabling code from stream_radio.c. Since enabling the
cache involves replacing the old stream with a new one, the code as-is
can't be kept. It would be easily possible to enable the cache by
requesting a cache size (which is also much simpler). But nobody uses
stream_radio.c and I can't even test this thing, and the cache is
probably not really important for it either.
These assumed that the buffer provided with fill_buffer() was at least
sector sized, instead of checking the size parameter.
This is just a cleanup, since every caller made sure to align everything
on sector sizes, if a stream has the sector size set.
Of course all of stream_dvd.c (as well as libdvdread) is completely
insane, but at least this hack for ancient broken compilers on really
obscure platforms should be safe to remove.
Some code in mplayer.c did stuff like accessing (dvd_priv_t *)st->priv.
Do this indirectly by introducing STREAM_CTRL_GET_DVD_INFO. This is
extremely specific to DVD, so it's not worth abstracting this further.
This is a preparation for turning the cache into an actual stream, which
simply wraps the cached stream. There are other streams which are
accessed in the way DVD was, at least TV/radio/DVB. We assume these
can't be used with the cache. The code doesn't look thread-safe or fork
aware.
Internally, stream_dvd.c returned DEMUXER_TYPE_MPEG_PS, and the same
value was hardcoded to enforced usage of demux_lavf in demux.c. But
"-demuxer mpegps" basically did the same, so that switch was broken
for this format. Undo this and don't request a demuxer in stream_dvd.c.
demux_lavf.c is (probably) good enough to probe correctly with DVD.
Otherwise, we'd actually have to do something completely different to
force the libavformat demuxer.
Tests with demux_mkv show that the speed doesn't change (or actually,
it seems to be faster after this change). In any case, there is not
the slightest reason why these should be inline. Functions for which
this will (probably) actually matter, like stream_read_char, are
still left inline.
This was tested with demux_mkv's indexing. For broken files without
index, demux_mkv creates an on-the-fly index. If you seek to a later
part of the file, all data has to be read and parsed until the wanted
position is found. This means demux_mkv will do mostly I/O, calling
stream_read_char() and stream_read(). This should be the most I/O
intensive non-deprecated part of mpv that uses the stream interface.
(demux_lavf has its own buffering.)
GetTimer() is generally replaced with mp_time_us(). Both calls return
microseconds, but the latter uses int64_t, us defined to never wrap,
and never returns 0 or negative values.
GetTimerMS() has no direct replacement. Instead the other functions are
used.
For some code, switch to mp_time_sec(), which returns the time as double
float value in seconds. The returned time is offset to program start
time, so there is enough precision left to deliver microsecond
resolution for at least 100 years. Unless it's casted to a float
(or the CPU reduces precision), which is why we still use mp_time_us()
out of paranoia in places where precision is clearly needed.
Always switch to the correct time. The whole point of the new timer
calls is that they don't wrap, and storing microseconds in unsigned int
variables would negate this.
In some cases, remove wrap-around handling for time values.
This helps passing the channel layout correctly from decoder to audio
filter chain. (Because that part "reuses" the demuxer level codec
parameters, which is very disgusting.)
Note that ffmpeg stuff already passed the channel layout via
mp_copy_lav_codec_headers(). So other than easier dealing with the
demuxer/decoder parameters mess, there's no real advantage to doing
this.
Make the --channels option accept a channel map. Since simple numbers
map to standard layouts with the given number of channels, this is
downwards compatible. Likewise for demux_rawaudio.
Uses the same mechanisms as stream_dvd to report the virtual playback
time as known by libdvdread/libbluray, instead of the raw demuxer
output.
This should solve many problems with BD playback, like correct display
of playback time and duration.
On the other hand, this causes some new problems. For example, the
reported stream time has a rather low resolution (1-2 seconds), so
doing precise seeking on it is near impossible.
Allow the stream layer to report chapter times. Extend stream_dvd to do
this. I'm not 100% sure whether the re-used code is bug-free (because it
was used for slave-mode and/or debugging only).
MAke the frontend do time-based seeks when switching DVD chapters. I'm
not sure if there's a real reason STREAM_CTRL_SEEK_TO_CHAPTER exists
(maybe/hopefully not), but we will see.
Note that querying chapter times in demuxer_chapter_time() with the new
STREAM_CTRL_GET_CHAPTER_TIME could be excessively slow, especially with
the cache enabled. The frontend likes to query chapter times very often.
Additionally, stream_dvd uses some sort of quadratic algorithm to list
times for all chapters. For this reason, we try to query all chapters on
start (after the demuxer is opened), and add the chapters to the demuxer
chapter list. demuxer_chapter_time() will get the time from that list,
instead of asking the stream layer over and over again.
This assumes stream_dvd knows the list of chapters at the start, and
also that the list of chapters never changes during playback. This
seems to be true, and the only exception, switching DVD titles, is not
supported at runtime (and doesn't need to be supported).
These were found by the cppcheck and scan-build static analyzers. Most
of these aren't interesting (the 2 previous commits fix some interesting
cases found by these analyzers), and they don't nearly fix all warnings.
(Most of the unfixed warnings are spam, things MPlayer never cared
about, or false positives.)
Commit 4d14a42, a seemingly harmless change, introduced very bad cache
behavior when the cache isn't forked, such as on Windows, where it uses
threads. Apparently the cache code was designed for forking, and an
unknown obscure condition causes severe performance degradation if a
STREAM_CTRL is sent to the cache on every frame.
Since the cache code is literally insane (uses shared memory + fork(),
and has hacks to make it work with threads, is messed into the stream
code in extra-hacky ways), we just fix it by caching the STREAM_CTRL in
question.
This is also done for some other STREAM_CTRLs that are called on each
frame, such as playback duration. This indicates that the cache code has
some inherent problem with answering such requests in a timely matter,
and that there's no easy way around this.
(Even if the cache is eventually rewritten, these things will probably
have to be cached, otherwise you'd have to forcibly block until the
stream implementation is done with a blocking read. The real question
is why it worked fine with the forked cache, though.)
Will be needed to override the demuxer's start time reporting. We could
be lazy and special-case it since the result is always 0 for the streams
that care, but doing it properly is better.
DVD playback uses a demuxer that signals to the frontend that timestamp
resets are possible. This made the frontend calculate the OSD playback
position based on the byte position and the total size of the stream.
This actually broke DVD playback position display. Since DVD reports a
a linear playback position, we don't have to rely on the demuxer
reported position, so disable this functionality in case of DVD
playback. This reverts the OSD behavior with DVD to the old behavior.
br://: Fix querying current chapter.
This also fixes specifying an end chapter via -chapter.

Remove the "object settings" based track range parsing (needed by
stream_cdda only), and make stream_cdda use CONF_TYPE_INT_PAIR.
This makes the -vf parsing code completely independent from other
options. A bit of that code was used by the mechanism removed with
this commit.
ntddcdrm.h is no longer under the 'ddk' directory in MinGW-w64,
and since MPV focuses on it instead of the old MinGW32, there's no
reason to keep that dir prefix, as it stops VCD support from being
built at all for Windows.
Handle the severely broken headers QuickTime Streaming Server sends.
Instead of ending the header with \r\n\r\n it ends with
\r\n<4 byte MP3 header>\r\n.
And programs like wget just silently accept this without even
printing a warning!!

Note: see previous commit.
Support broken icy-metaint response from QuickTime Streaming Server.
The full version string is "QuickTime Streaming Server 6.1.0/532".
It sends a HTTP response header that contains an MP3 header!
Fixes bug #2133.

Note that in mpv, "http://" is mapped to ffmpeg currently, and this
code is unused by default.
Clean up ifdefs so they make sense even if none or multiple are defined.
Also choose Linux as fallback case instead of failing, this
allows the code to compile e.g. on Android.

clang printed warnings like:
stream/stream.c:692:65: warning: if statement has empty body [-Wempty-body]
GET_UTF16(c, src < end - 1 ? get_le16_inc(&src) : 0,;
This macro expands to "if(cond) ;". Replace it with an empty statement
that doesn't lead to a clang warning.
SHOUTcast bans "Mozilla" in the user-agent, Vimeo bans "Lavf" (part of
the libavformat normal user-agent). "MPlayer 1.1-..." seems to work
everywhere, and is close to the intented use (mpv is based on MPlayer,
after all).
Use codec names instead of FourCCs to identify codecs. Rewrite how
codecs are selected and initialized. Now each decoder exports a list
of decoders (and the codec it supports) via add_decoders(). The order
matters, and the first decoder for a given decoder is preferred over
the other decoders. E.g. all ad_mpg123 decoders are preferred over
ad_lavc, because it comes first in the mpcodecs_ad_drivers array.
Likewise, decoders within ad_lavc that are enumerated first by
libavcodec (using av_codec_next()) are preferred. (This is actually
critical to select h264 software decoding by default instead of vdpau.
libavcodec and ffmpeg/avconv use the same method to select decoders by
default, so we hope this is sane.)
The codec names follow libavcodec's codec names as defined by
AVCodecDescriptor.name (see libavcodec/codec_desc.c). Some decoders
have names different from the canonical codec name. The AVCodecDescriptor
API is relatively new, so we need a compatibility layer for older
libavcodec versions for codec names that are referenced internally,
and which are different from the decoder name. (Add a configure check
for that, because checking versions is getting way too messy.)
demux/codec_tags.c is generated from the former codecs.conf (minus
"special" decoders like vdpau, and excluding the mappings that are the
same as the mappings libavformat's exported RIFF tables). It contains
all the mappings from FourCCs to codec name. This is needed for
demux_mkv, demux_mpg, demux_avi and demux_asf. demux_lavf will set the
codec as determined by libavformat, while the other demuxers have to do
this on their own, using the mp_set_audio/video_codec_from_tag()
functions. Note that the sh_audio/video->format members don't uniquely
identify the codec anymore, and sh->codec takes over this role.
Replace the --ac/--vc/--afm/--vfm with new --vd/--ad options, which
provide cover the functionality of the removed switched.
Note: there's no CODECS_FLAG_FLIP flag anymore. This means some obscure
container/video combinations (e.g. the sample Film_200_zygo_pro.mov)
are played flipped. ffplay/avplay doesn't handle this properly either,
so we don't care and blame ffmeg/libav instead.
Playing vimeo links using quvi support didn't work, even though clive
could. clive is using quvi and curl to download videos from streaming
sites, so if clive works mpv should always work as well. It didn't, and
it turned out that it was due to the user agent. Change the default
from whatever Lavf sends to what clive and cclive use. This will
probably always work, as c(c)live are by the same author as libquvi,
and there's a high chance it has been tested with all the supported
sites.
This didn't work properly for HTTP with libavformat. The builtin HTTP
implementation reconnects automatically on its own, while libavformat
doesn't. Fix this by adding explicit reconnection support to
stream_lavf.c, which simply destroys and recreates the AVIO context.
It mostly works, though sometimes it mysteriously fails, spamming crap
all over the terminal and feeding broken data to the decoders. This is
probably due to itneractions with the cache. Also, reconnecting to
unseekable HTTP streams will make it read the entire stream until the
previous playback position is reached again.
It's not known whether this change makes behavior with "strange"
protocols like RTP better or worse.
The "http:" protocol has been switched to use ffmpeg's HTTP
implementation some time ago. One problem with this was that many HTTP
specific options stopped working, because they were obviously
implemented for the internal HTTP implementation only.
Add the missing things. Note that many options will work for ffmpeg
only, as Libav's HTTP implementation is missing these. They will
silently be ignored on Libav.
Some options we can't fix:
--ipv4-only-proxy, --prefer-ipv4, --prefer-ipv6
As far as I can see, not even libavformat internals distinguish
between ipv4 and ipv6.
--user, --passwd
ffmpeg probably supports specifying these in the URL directly.
