It has to copy each option, whether it's deprecated or not. This would
print a warning on every deprecated sub-option, even if it's not used.
Yep, this is very stupid.
At least m_config_get_co() gets actually slightly cleaner, because it
separates the search and the deprecation handling.
And introduce a global option which does this. Or more precisely, this
deprecates the global wasapi and coreaudio options, and adds a new one
that merges their functionality. (Due to the way the sub-option
deprecation mechanism works, this is simpler.)
I decided that it's too much work to convert all the VO/AOs to the new
option system manually at once. So here's a shitty hack instead, which
achieves almost the same thing. (The only user-visible difference is
that e.g. --vo=name:help will list the sub-options normally, instead of
showing them as deprecation placeholders. Also, the sub-option parser
will verify each option normally, instead of deferring to the global
option parser.)
Another advantage is that once we drop the deprecated options,
converting the remaining things will be easier, because we obviously
don't need to add the compatibility hacks.
Using this mechanism is separate in the next commit to keep the diff
noise down.
Instead of requiring each VO or AO to manually add members to MPOpts and
the global option table, make it possible to register them automatically
via vo_driver/ao_driver.global_opts members. This avoids modifying
options.c/options.h every time, including having to duplicate the exact
ifdeffery used to enable a driver.
Instead of adding a lock_frame to the list when mp_dispatch_lock() is
called, just set a simple flag. This uses the fact that the lock is not
recursive, and can happen once per mp_dispatch_queue_process(). It
avoids the dynamic allocation, and makes error checking slightly
stricter.
Again, this is actually redundant and exists only for error-checking.
It'd actually need only a counter, because the actual locking is done by
"parking" the target thread in mp_dispatch_queue_process() and then
setting queue->idling=false. Only when mp_dispatch_unlock() sets it to
true again other work can proceed again. Document this too.
A deadlock bug was reported with the following test program:
mpv_handle *mpv = mpv_create();
mpv_set_option_string(mpv, "ytdl", "yes");
mpv_initialize(mpv);
mpv_terminate_destroy(mpv);
The cause of this is loading the ytdl.lua script, which triggers a
certain code path that calls mp_dispatch_queue_process() recursively. It
does so to wait until the script is loaded, and we want to keep that.
Reentrancy was not supported by mp_dispatch, which leads to the
deadlock. Rewrite the locking so that it does. We mainly get rid of the
"exclusive_lock" mutex. Instead we use the existing lock/condition
variable to wait until we can grab a logical lock.
Note that the lock_frame business can be replaced with a simple counter.
Instead of checking the lock_frame address, it'd simply increment and
store the counter when entering mp_dispatch_queue_process(), and then
compare the counter to decide whether or not to wait. But I think the
additional error checking done by the lock_frame list is valuable.
Fixes#3489.
Why do these API calls even still exist? I don't know, and maybe they
don't make any sense anymore. But whether they should be removed or not
is not a decision I want to make now. I want to get rid of
mp_dispatch_suspend/resume(), though. So implement the client APIs
slightly differently.
Whitelisting supported codecs is (probably) still better than just
allowing everything, given the weird FFmpeg API. I'm also assuming
Libav doesn't even have the codec ID, but I didn't check.
Also add a --teletext-page option, since otherwise it decodes every
teletext page and shows them in succession.
And yes, we can't use av_opt_set_int() - instead we have to set it as
string. Because FFmpeg's option system is terrible.
This affects the "cycle" command. If we switched to the next track, and
it failed to initialize, we just deselected everything.
Change it so that if initialization fails early (typically decoder
selection), we try to continue with the track after that. (Even if
nothing can be selected, the loop will terminate when trying to select
nothing.
Fixes#3446.
This was mistakenly added. It was removed from the vo_opengl_hq defaults
at an earlier time, but the documentation was not updated, which is why
it made it back into the profile.
Fixes#3485.
These never made any sense. They checked the --vo/--ao option, and
applied the profile corresponding to the first entry. So the only way to
get any use of those was to use the --ao or --vo option explicitly. You
can get the same functionality by making a manual profile, making these
force the ao/vo, and then using --profile on command line instead of
--vo/--ao.
This works by first parsing a config file into the default profile, and
applying it once parsing the whole file is finished.
This won't work across config files (not even if you include other
config files via "include=file.conf").
Apparently this was supposed to be handled - but badly at best. Make
unset values always have the value "" instead of NULL to avoid
special-cases.
In particular, this fixes passing NULL to a %s format specifier to
printf in show_profile(). Glibc prints this as "(null)", but it's
undefined behavior, and other libcs can crash.
On a VOCTRL_UPDATE_PLAYBACK_STATE store the state, and use it to
initialize the next time the task list becomes available.
This actually fixes#3482. Revert commit f2e25e9e because it's not
needed anymore.
With the recent vo_opengl changes it doesn't do anything anymore.
I don't think a deprecation period is necessary, because the command
was always marked as experimental.
With the conversion from sub-options to global options, this becomes
useless. This change also comes slightly too soon, because not all VOs
have been changed yet.
vo_opengl sub-option were always rather annoying to handle. It seems
better to make them global options instead. This is simpler and easier
to use. The only disadvantage we are aware of is that it's not clear
that many/all of these new global options work with vo_opengl only.
--vo=opengl-hq is also deprecated.
There is extensive compatibility with the old behavior. One exception is
that --vo-defaults will not apply to opengl-hq (though with opengl it
still works). vo-cmdline is also dysfunctional and will be removed in a
following commit.
These changes also affect opengl-cb.
The update mechanism is still rather inefficient: it requires syncing
with the VO after each option change, rather than batching updates.
There's also no granularity (video.c just updates "everything", and if
auto-ICC profiles are enabled, vo_opengl.c will fetch them on each
update).
Most of the manpage changes were done by Niklas Haas <git@haasn.xyz>.
This is still rather basic.
run_reconfig() and run_control() update the options because it's needed
for panscan (and other video scaling options), and fullscreen, border,
ontop updates. In the old model, these options could be accessed only
while both playback thread and VO threads were locked (i.e. during
synchronous calls like vo_control()), so this should be sufficient in
order not to miss any updates. In the future, a more fine-grained update
mechanism could be added to handle these updates "exactly".
x11_common.c contains an evil hack, as I see no reasonable way to handle
this properly. The VO thread can't "lock" the main thread, so this is
not simple.
The way option runtime changes are handled is pretty bad in the current
codebase. There's a big option struct (MPOpts), which contains almost
everything, and for which no synchronization mechanism exists. This was
handled by either making some options read-only after initialization,
duplicating the option struct, using sub-options (in the VO), and so on.
Introduce a mechanism that creates a copy of the global options (or
parts of it), and provides a well-defined way to update them in a
thread-safe way.
Most code can remain the same, just that all the component glue code has
to explicitly make use of it first.
There is still lots of room for improvement. For example, the update
mechanism could be better.
If the win32 taskbar progress update is sent before the VO window is
created, then w32_common.c will ignore it because the actual taskbar
object was not created yet. (At least this is what I suspect happens.
The window is already created at this point, but not mapped.)
Hopefully fix this is fixed by creating until after the window is
created, i.e. the VO has been configured at least once.
Untested (who wants to boot into Windows just to wait until it has
applied all of its stupid updates).
Also not explicit is whether update_vo_playback_state() will actually be
called soon enough in all cases. It probably is.
Probably fixes#3482.
Reduce accesses to the renderer opts in vo_opengl.c, and instead add
accessors for them to video.c.
I suppose gamma and maybe icc-auto could be moved to vo_opengl.c
options. Also, the output colorspace could probably be adjusted to what
is really used, not just the options (although it's possible that this
commit changes this, due to video.c mutating its own copy of the options
according to actual renderer capapbilities).
But don't deal with this now.
Normally I'd prefer a bunch of smaller functions with fewer parameters
over a single function with a lot of parameters. But future changes will
require messing with the parameters in a slightly more complex way, so a
combined function will be needed anyway. The now-unused "global"
parameter is required for later as well.
iconv distinguishes between euc-kr and cp949, while libguess
and libuchardet doesn't (only returns euc-kr). EILSEQ occurs
when the input encoding of iconv is set to euc-kr and if the subs
contain letters not included in euc-kr. Since cp949 is a extension
of euc-kr, choose cp949 instead.

And replace the sort-of duplicated explanations.
(It's a bit funny to use weblinks to the generated web version of itself
instead of proper RST links, but I think I don't care.)
The --cache option and cache property conflict, so one of them has to be
renamed. The option is probably used frequently, so initiate
deprecation/rename of the property.
Deprecated in favor of user-shaders, which are functionally equivalent
but superior. (Except in the case of scaler-shader, which has no direct
replacement, but it turned out to be a very unpopular feature either way
- most custom scalers don't fit into the mpv kernel infrastructure and
are therefore implemented as user shaders either way)

Create the core thread right in mpv_create(), and reduce what
mpv_initialize() does further. This is simpler, and allows the API user
to do more before calling mpv_initialize(). The latter is not the real
goal, rather we'd like mpv_intialize() reduced to do almost nothing. It
still does a lot, but nothing truly special anymore that is absolutely
required for basic mpv workings.
One thing we want the user to be able to do is changing properties
before mpv_initialize() to reduce the special status of
mpv_set_option().
Make some existing properties behave more like options. This mostly
means they don't deny access if the associated component is not active,
but redirects to the option.
One kind of fishy change is that we apply --brightness etc. only if
they're not set to the default value. This won't necessarily work with
--vo=xv, but affects only cases where 1. the Xv adapter has been changed
to non-defaults, and 2. the user tries to reset them with mpv by passing
e.g. --brightness=0. We don't care about Xv, and the noted use-case is
dumb, so this change is acceptable.
These conflict with options of the same name, and prevent a "full"
unification. Not addressed is the "cache" property, and possibly a few
properties that behave differently from their equivalent options.
Now options are accessible through the property list as well, which
unifies them to a degree.
Not all options support runtime changes (meaning affected components
need to be restarted for the options to take effects). Remove from the
manpage those properties which are cleanly mapped to options anyway.
From the user-perspective they're just options available through the
property interface.
E.g. --vf=scale=no-arnd didn't work, because it didn't recognize no-arnd
as flag option.
The top-level command line parser is not affected by this, because it
uses the result of m_config_option_requires_param() differently and
assumes unknown parameters do not necessarily require a parameter. (The
suboption parser can't do this.)
Positional parameters cause problems because they can be ambiguous with
flag options. If a flag option is removed or turned into a non-flag
option, it'll usually be interpreted as value for the first sub-option
(as positional parameter), resulting in very confusing error messages.
This changes it into a simple "option not found" error.
I don't expect that anyone really used positional parameters with --vo
or --ao. Although the docs for --ao=pulse seem to encourage positional
parameters for the host/sink options, which means it could possibly
annoy some PulseAudio users.
--vf and --af are still mostly used with positional parameters, so this
must be a configurable option in the option parser.
seek_fn is supposed to return the new file offset, or a negative error
code. Our code doesn't use the offset, and only wants to know if any
errors happened. The int cast is completely broken and might treat a
successful seek as failed depending on whether the sign bit will be set.
