If the timebase is set, it's used for converting the packet timestamps.
Otherwise, the previous method of reinterpret-casting the mpv style
double timestamps to libavcodec style int64_t timestamps is used.
Also replace the kind of awkward mp_get_av_frame_pkt_ts() function by
mp_pts_from_av(), which simply converts timestamps in a way the old
function did. (Plus it takes a timebase parameter, similar to the
addition to mp_set_av_packet().)
Note that this should not change anything yet. The code in ad_lavc.c and
vd_lavc.c passes NULL for the timebase parameters. We could set
AVCodecContext.pkt_timebase and use that if we want to give libavcodec
"proper" timestamps.
This could be important for ad_lavc.c: some codecs (opus, probably mp3
and aac too) have weird requirements about doing decoding preroll on the
container level, and thus require adjusting the audio start timestamps
in some cases. libavcodec doesn't tell us how much was skipped, so we
either get shifted timestamps (by the length of the skipped data), or we
give it proper timestamps. (Note: libavcodec interprets or changes
timestamps only if pkt_timebase is set, which by default it is not.)
This would require selecting a timebase though, so I feel uncomfortable
with the idea. At least this change paves the way, and will allow some
testing.
Also remove the ability to disable deinterlacing at runtime. You can
still disable deinterlacing at runtime by using the ``D`` key and its
automatical filter insertion/removal.
mpv was hardcoded to always consider the right Alt key as Alt Gr, but there
are parituclar combinations of platforms and keyboard layouts where it's more
convenient to treat the right Alt as a keyboard modifier just like the left
one.
Fixes#388
This is for key bindings that use multiple mouse buttons at once. (Yes,
this is weird, but MPlayer always had this feature, and apparently
there are people using it!)
Before this commit, clicking another mouse button while still holding
the previous mouse button forced the command bound to the previous
mouse button to be emitted. This is usually needed to make sure the
input consumer (the player and the OSC) stays in sync with the actual
mouse button state. If there's no command sent, the OSC in particular
would think the button is still held down. However, sending the command
is undesired behavior if you want to use these multiple-key binds.
Solve this by emitting commands in this situation only if a key down
command was sent earlier. Since mouse button key bindings are normally
executed on key-up only, this happens with special commands like
script_dispatch only (used by the OSD to track mouse buttons, but
also used for other OSC bindings).
See github issue #390.
There are some use cases for this. For example, you can use it to set
defaults of automatically inserted filters (like af_lavrresample). It's
also useful if you have a non-trivial VO configuration, and want to use
--vo to quickly change between the drivers without repeating the whole
configuration in the --vo argument.
The "run" input command does fork+exec to spawn child processes. But it
doesn't cleanup the child processes, so they are left as zombies until
mpv terminates. Leaving zombie processes around is not very nice, so
employ a simple trick to let pid 1 take care of this: we fork twice, and
when the first fork exits, the second fork becomes orphaned and becomes
pid 1's child. It becomes pid 1's responsibility to cleanup the process.
The advantage is that we don't need extra logic to cleanup the spawned
process, which could have an arbitrary lifetime.
This is e.g. described here: http://yarchive.net/comp/zombie_process.html
Also use _exit() instead of exit(). It's not really sane to run cleanup
handlers (atexit() etc.) inside a forked process.
This is needed so that new processes (created with fork+exec) don't
inherit open files, which can be important for a number of reasons.
Since O_CLOEXEC is relatively new (POSIX.1-2008, before that Linux
specific), we #define it to 0 in io.h to prevent compilation errors on
older/crappy systems. At least this is the plan.
input.c creates a pipe. For that, add a mp_set_cloexec() function (which
is based on Weston's code in vo_wayland.c, but more correct). We could
use pipe2() instead, but that is Linux specific. Technically, we have a
race condition, but it won't matter.
See the changes in input.rst for explanations.
Technically speaking, this also gets rid of some undefined behavior:
passing NULL as a vararg (execl()) is always a bug.
So e.g.
show_text abc#def
will now print "abc#def" instead of "#def". It's simpler, more
consistent with how ";" and other things are handled, and also
possibly avoids bothering the user with extra escaping.
PIX_FMT_* -> AV_PIX_FMT_* (except some pixdesc constants)
enum PixelFormat -> enum AVPixelFormat
Losen some version checks in certain newer pixel formats.
av_pix_fmt_descriptors -> av_pix_fmt_desc_get
This removes support for FFmpeg 1.0.x, which is even older than
Libav 9.x. Support for it probably was already broken, and its
libswresample was rejected by our build system anyway because it's
broken.
Mostly untested; it does compile with Libav 9.9.
These were confined to the video path, but resetting them even if no
video is available shouldn't really matter. Always resetting them makes
the logic easier to follow, I think.
Recently, the check was moved, so it was printed only for source video
PTS (since that's easier, and filters should normally behave sane). But
it turns out it's trivial to print a warning in the filter case too by
reusing the code that normally checks for PTS forward jumps without
needing any additional code, so, fine, restore warning in this case.
pthreads should be available anywhere. Even if not, for environment
without threads a pthread wrapper could be provided that can't actually
start threads, thus disabling features that require threads.
Make pthreads mandatory in order to simplify build dependencies and to
reduce ifdeffery. (Admittedly, there wasn't much complexity, but maybe
we will use pthreads more in the future, and then it'd become a real
bother.)
Introduce a mp_cmd_def struct to define commands, instead of using
mp_cmd for this. This way each command parameter can be a m_option,
instead of m_option plus some more stuff.
Define the ARG_ macros directly in terms of the OPT_ macros. Not sure if
this makes it easier to read (maybe not, even if it looks simpler), but
at least it makes it easier to add other option types.
Another idea was adding a name for each parameter (so you could have
named parameters), but not today.
The hr-seek code assumes that when seeking the demuxer, the first image
decoded after the seek will have a PTS exactly equal to the demuxer seek
target time, or before that target time. Incorrect timestamps,
implicitly dropped initial frames, or broken files/demuxers can all
break this assumption, and lead to hr-seek missing the seek target.
Generally, this is not much a problem (the user won't notice being off
by one frame), but it really shows when using the backstep feature. In
this case, backstepping would simply hang.
Add a simple hack that basically forces a minimal value for the --hr-
seek-demuxer-offset option (which is 0 by default) when doing a
backstep-seek. The chosen minimum value is arbitrary. There's no perfect
value, though in general it should perhaps be slightly longer than the
frametime, which the chosen value is more than enough for typical
framerates.
Using --start with files that use DTS only, or which simply have broken
PTS timestamps, would incorrectly drop frames and possibly not execute
the seek correctly.
Add yet another heuristic to detect this. The intent is that --start and
hr-seeks in general should work correctly, but in order to keep things
fast, we still want to allow frame dropping during hr-seek if there are
no problems doing so. Do this by disabling frame dropping by default,
but re-enabling it if there are no problems found for a while. As a
consequence, --start might be somewhat slower, but normal user
interaction should remain as fast as before.
Note that there's something subtle about the added code: the
has_broken_packet_pts field is checked even before the first packet is
fed to dec_video.c, so the field must not be set to 0 right on start.
It's not initially set to 0 anyway, because the heuristic requires
decoding some images before enabling frame drop anyway.
Note 2: it's not clear whether frame dropping during hr-seek really
helps; I didn't benchmark it.
The d_video->pts field was a bit strange. The code overwrote it multiple
times (on decoding, on filtering, then once again...), and it wasn't
really clear what purpose this field had exactly. Replace it with the
mpctx->video_next_pts field, which is relatively unambiguous.
Move the decreasing PTS check to dec_video.c. This means it acts on
decoder output, not on filter output. (Just like in the previous commit,
assume the filter chain is sane.) Drop the jitter vs. reset semantics;
the dec_video.c determined PTS never goes backwards, and demuxer
timestamps don't "jitter".
Also get rid of the PTS check _after_ filters. This means if there's a
video filter which unsets PTS, no warning will be printed. But we assume
that all filters are well-behaved enough by now.
Refactor the PTS handling code to make it cleaner, and to separate the
bits that use PTS sorting.
Add a heuristic to fall back to DTS if the PTS us non-monotonic. This
code is based on what FFmpeg/Libav use for ffplay/avplay and also
best_effort_timestamp (which is only in FFmpeg). Basically, this 1. just
uses the DTS if PTS is unset, and 2. ignores PTS entirely if PTS is non-
monotonic, but DTS is sorted.
The code is pretty much the same as in Libav [1]. I'm not sure if all of
it is really needed, or if it does more than what the paragraph above
mentions. But maybe it's fine to cargo-cult this.
This heuristic fixes playback of mpeg4 in ogm, which returns packets
with PTS==DTS, even though the PTS timestamps should follow codec
reordering. This is probably a libavformat demuxer bug, but good luck
trying to fix it.
The way vd_lavc.c returns the frame PTS and DTS to dec_video.c is a bit
inelegant, but maybe better than trying to mess the PTS back into the
decoder callback again.
[1] https://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=cmdutils.c;h=3f1c667075724c5cde69d840ed5ed7d992898334;hb=fa515c2088e1d082d45741bbd5c05e13b0500804#l1431
These used the suffix _resync_stream, which is a bit misleading. Nothing
gets "resynchronized", they really just reset state.
(Some audio decoders actually used to "resync" by reading packets for
resuming playback, but that's not the case anymore.)
Also move the function in dec_video.c to the top of the file.
These packets have to be explicitly dropped, because usually libavcodec
uses 0-sized packets to flush delayed frames, meaning just passing
through these packets would have bad consequences.
Normally, libavformat doesn't output 0-sized packets anyway. But I don't
want to take any chances, so don't delete it, and just move it out of
the way to demux.c.
If the value for --cache-on-pause is larger than --cache-min, and the
cache runs below --cache-on-pause, but above --cache-min, the logic
would demand to pause the player and then unpause immediately again.
This doesn't make much sense, and alternating the pause state in each
playloop iteration has negative consequences. Add an explicit check to
avoid this situation.
This means the code that tries to figure out the timestamp from
demuxer and decoder output is now all in dec_video.c. We set the
final timestamp on the returned image (mp_image.pts), as well as
the d_video->pts field.
The way the player uses d_video->pts field is still a bit messy. Maybe
this could be cleaned up later.
It appears PTS sorting was useful only for avi files (and VfW-muxed
mkv). Maybe it was historically also important for decoders with broken
or non-existent PTS reordering (win32 codecs?). But now that we handle
demuxers which outputs DTS only correctly, it just seems dead weight.
Disable it by default. The --pts-association-mode option is now forced
to always use the decoder's PTS value. You can still enable the old
default (auto) or force sorting. But we will probably remove this option
entirely at some point.
Make demux_mkv export timestamps at DTS when it's in VfW mode. This is
needed to get correct timestamps with the new default mode. demux_lavf
already does that.
Having the DTS directly can be useful for restoring PTS values.
The avi file format doesn't actually store PTS values, just DTS. An
older hack explicitly exported the DTS as PTS (ignoring the [I assume]
genpts generated non-sense PTS), which is not necessary anymore due to
this change.
Now the --no-correct-pts mode is like the normal mode, just with
different timestamp calculations. The semantics should be about the
same as before this commit.
Before this commit, this mode estimated the frame time by subtracting
successive packet PTS values. This is complete non-sense for video
codecs which use reordering. The code compensated frame times for these
non-sense using the FPS value, but confused the rest of the player with
non-sense jumping around timestamps. So, all in all this mode is not
very useful.
Repurpose this mode for fixed frame rate playback. This gives almost the
same behavior as the old mode with forced framerate (--fps option). The
result is simpler and often more robust.
Instead of passing the PTS as separate field, pass it as part of the
usual data structures. Basically, this removes strange artifacts from
the API. (It's not finished, though: the final decoded PTS goes through
strange paths, and filter_video() finally overwrites the decoded
mp_image's pts field with it.)
We also stop using libavcodec's reordered_opaque fields, and use
AVPacket.pts and AVFrame.pkt_pts. This is slightly unorthodox, because
these pts fields are not "really" opaque anymore, yet we treat them as
such. But the end result should be the same, and reordered_opaque is
marked as partially deprecated (it's not clear whether it's really
deprecated).
This normally shouldn't happen. It does happen with VfW-muxed mkv files,
and would normally happen with avi files (except that we force the
correct association mode using an explicit hack for avi).
This is usually prepended by warnings like:
Decreasing video pts: 0.125000 < 0.167000
and after the switch, there should be no warnings anymore.
Background: avi likes to use DTS for timestamps instead of PTS.
Basically, there are no proper timestamps in the file, only frame
numbers. And Matroska is insane and stores the made-up DTS instead
of a proper PTS. This will be handled properly later.
Apparently Cocoa precise scrolling generates a lot of spurious events with
a delta that is equal to 0.0. Make sure that they are discarded and not added
to the input queue.
Even though this only known to happen with Cocoa, I implemented this at core
level since it makes sense in general.
Fixes: #310
This is not needed anymore, because we decided that the PAR of the
decoded video matters, and not the PAR of the filtered video that
arrives at the VO.
In theory, we can't really do this, because we don't know when a spdif
frame ends. Spdif transports compressed audio through audio setups that
were originally designed for PCM only (which includes the audio filter
chain, the AO API, most audio output APIs, etc.), and to reach this
goal, spdif pretends to be PCM. Compressed data frames are padded with
zeros, until a certain data rate is reached, which corresponds to a
pseudo-PCM format with 2 bytes per sample and 2 channels at 48000 Hz.
Of course an actual spdif frame is significantly larger than a frame
of the PCM format it pretends to be, so cutting audio data on frame
boundaries (as according to the pseudo-PCM format) merely yields an
incomplete and broken frame, not audio that plays for the desired
duration.
However, sending an incomplete frame might still be much better than the
current behavior, which simply ignores --end/--length (but still lets
the video end at the exact end time).
Should this result in trouble with real spdif receivers, this commit
probably has to be reverted.
