These two options were supported by ALSA and OSS only. Further, their
values were specific to the respective audio systems, so it doesn't make
sense to keep them as top-level options.
The AO creation part was split into two separate parts (one calling
ao_create and one calling ao_init). This didn't really have good
reasons, and obfuscates how AO creation works. Put them together.
Nothing should change from user perspective.
mpv --vo=opengl:help now works.
Remove the vo_opengl inline help text. The new code can list option
names for you, but that's it. Refer to the manpage if you have trouble.
This is in preparation of making VOs and AOs use the parser which
originally was for video filters only.
The --vo and --ao options have several very annoying features, which are
added here:
- They can skip unknown video outputs (might be useful if a config file
is supposed to work on several systems, where not all VOs/AOs are
available everywhere)
- The trailing "," in "-vo a,b," was significant, and meant that if "a"
and "b" don't work, try the normal autoprobe order as fallback
- There were deprecated VO names (like "gl3" and "gl"), which have to be
handled with the option parser
- Separating VO/VF names and options is different
("-vf foo=opts" vs. "-vo foo:opts")
- vo_opengl.c provides opengl-hq as opengl + preset options
This is printed with --list-options or e.g. --vf=lavfi=help.
Note that in theory, the options should be able to print their own help,
and we shouldn't special case certain types (like m_option_type_choice
in the commit). But that is too hairy for now, so we don't do it.
For some reason, both m_config and m_struct are somewhat similar, except
that m_config is much more powerful. m_config is used for VOs and some
other things, so to unify them. We plan to kick out m_struct and use
m_config for everything. (Unfortunately, m_config is also a bit more
bloated, so this commit isn't all that great, but it will allow to
reduce the option parser mess somewhat.)
This commit also switches all video filters to use the option macros.
One reason is that m_struct and m_config, even though they both use
m_option, store the offsets of the option fields differently (sigh...),
meaning the options defined for either are incompatible. It's easier to
switch everything in one go.
This commit will allow using the -vf option parser for other things,
like VOs and AOs.
Windows generates WM_MOUSEMOVE messages internally whenever the window
manager wants to know where the mouse is[1] and broadcasts that to
everyone; w32_common doesn't check whether the position is different
and just (indirectly) calls this.
Do the check on input.c since it's possible some other VO or frontend
also do the same thing.

There was a MPOpts fullscreen field, a mp_vo_opts.fs field, and
VOFLAG_FULLSCREEN. Remove all these and introduce a
mp_vo_opts.fullscreen flag instead.
When VOs receive VOCTRL_FULLSCREEN, they are supposed to set the
current fullscreen mode to the state in mp_vo_opts.fullscreen. They
also should do this implicitly on config().
VOs which are capable of doing so can update the mp_vo_opts.fullscreen
if the actual fullscreen mode changes (e.g. if the user uses the
window manager controls). If fullscreen mode switching fails, they
can also set mp_vo_opts.fullscreen to the actual state.
Note that the X11 backend does almost none of this, and it has a
private fs flag to store the fullscreen flag, instead of getting it
from the WM. (Possibly because it has to deal with broken WMs.)
The fullscreen option has to be checked on config() to deal with
the -fs option, especially with something like:
mpv --fs file1.mkv --{ --no-fs file2.mkv --}
(It should start in fullscreen mode, but go to windowed mode when
playing file2.mkv.)

Instead of handling colorspaces with VFCTRLs/VOCTRLs, make them part of
the normal video format negotiation. The colorspace is passed down like
other video params with config/reconfig calls.
Forcing colorspaces (via the --colormatrix options and properties) is
handled differently too: if it's changed, completely reinit the video
chain. This is slower and requires a precise seek to the same position
to perform an update, but it's simpler and less bug-prone. Considering
switching the colorspace at runtime by user-interaction is a rather
obscure feature, this is a good change.
The colorspace VFCTRLs and VOCTRLs are still kept. The VOs rely on it,
and would have to be changed to get rid of them. We'll do that later,
and convert them incrementally instead of in one go.
Note that controlling the output range now always works on VO level.
Basically, this means you can't get vf_scale to output full-range YUV
for whatever reason. If that is really wanted, it should be a vf_scale
option. the previous behavior didn't make too much sense anyway.
This commit fixes a few bugs (such as playing RGB video and converting
that to YUV with vf_scale - a recent commit broke this and forced the
VO to display YUV as RGB if possible), and might introduce some new
ones.
From now on, usage of these macros is encouraged over using FFMAX and
FFMIN. FFMAX and FFMIN are perfectly fine, and the added macros are
actually exactly the same as the FFMAX and FFMIN definitions. But they
require including libavutil headers, and certain differences between
Libav and FFmpeg very often introduced breakages if these macros were
somehow not defined because a header was not recursively included.
Defining this macro on our own is the best way to escape from this
annoying issue.
DVD playback had some trouble with PTS resets: libavformat's genpts
feature would try reading until EOF (worst case) to find a new usable
PTS in case a packet's PTS is not set correctly. Especially with slow
DVD access, this would make the player to appear frozen.
Reimplement it partially in demux_lavf.c, and use that code in the DVD
case. This is heavily "inspired" by the code in av_read_frame from
libavformat/utils.c. The difference is that we stop reading if no PTS
has been found after 50 packets (consider this a heuristic). Also, we
don't bother with the PTS wrapping and last-frame-before-EOF handling.
Even with normal PTS wraps, the player frontend will go to hell for the
duration of a frame anyway, and should recover quickly after that.
The terribleness of this commit is mostly that we duplicate libavformat
functionality, and that we suddenly need a packet queue.
Move the reading loop from read_all_fd_events to read_events. If
got_new_events is set when calling read_events, don't actually wait
and set the timeout to 0.
(Note that not waiting is sort of transparent to the caller: the caller
is just supposed to execute the event loop again, and then it will
actually wait. mplayer.c handles this correctly.)
This might reduce latency with some input sources.
Removes some code duplication. Also restructure the input waiting code
a bit: split the select() loop into a input_wait_read() function. On
systems which do not have POSIX select(), this function has an alternate
implementation, which waits unconditionally.
This was useless for anything but the raw demuxers. In most cases, this
would most likely lead to display of bogus duration values, because the
bitrates used are per-track, not the total file bitrate. There was
actually no case left where this code was helpful.
Note that demux_lavf has its own code for this using the total file
bitrate. Also, mplayer.c can calculate the playback percentage from
current file position / current file size. This is not removed.
All demuxers make a reasonable effort to set packet timestamps, and thus
support correct-pts mode. This commit also implicitly switches
demux_rawvideo to correct-pts mode.
We still allow demuxers to disable correct-pts mode in theory.
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.
The main problem is that this m_struct stuff uses pointers for offsets
(why...), so we mangle it by intptr_t. This stuff really should use ints
(or in theory ptrdiff_t) for offsets, but changing it would be too much
effort, and hopefully this m_struct stuff will go away and replaced by
the common option parser mechanism instead.
Shuts up warnings on Windows.
Patch suggested by jon_y and rossy on IRC.
Before this commit, we tried to play along with libavformat and tried
to pretend that attached pictures are video streams with a single
frame, and that the frame magically appeared at the seek position when
seeking. The playback core would then switch to a mode where the video
has ended, and the "remaining" audio is played.
This didn't work very well:
- we needed a hack in demux.c, because we tried to read more packets in
order to find the "next" video frame (libavformat doesn't tell us if
a stream has ended)
- switching the video stream didn't work, because we can't tell
libavformat to send the packet again
- seeking and resuming after was hacky (for some reason libavformat sets
the returned packet's PTS to that of the previously returned audio
packet in generic code not related to attached pictures, and this
happened to work)
- if the user did something stupid and e.g. inserted a deinterlacer by
default, a picture was never displayed, only an inactive VO window)
- same when using a command that reconfigured the VO (like switching
aspect or video filters)
- hr-seek didn't work
For this reason, handle attached pictures as separate case with a
separate video decoding function, which doesn't read packets. Also,
do not synchronize audio to video start in this case.
The code touched by this commit makes sure that DVD subtitle tracks
known by libdvdread but not known by demux_lavf can be selected and
displayed properly. These subtitle tracks have the first packet
some time late in the packet stream, so that libavformat won't
immediately recognize them, and will add the track as soon as the
first packet is seen during normal demuxing.
demux_mpg used to handle this elegantly: you just set the MPEG ID of
the stream you wanted. demux_lavf couldn't do this, so it was emulated
with a DEMUXER_CTRL. This commit changes it so that new streams are
selected by default (if autoselect is enabled), and the playloop
simply can take appropriate action before the lower layer throws away
the first packet.
This also changes the demux_lavf behavior that subtitle packets are
always demuxed, even if not needed. (They were immediately thrown away,
so there was no advantage to this.)
Further, this adds the ability to demux.c to deal with demuxing more
than one stream of a kind at once. (Though currently it's not useful.)
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.
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.
Removing this code doesn't change anything. All remaining audio decoders
are well-behaved enough to not overwrite sh_audio->pts if they don't
know the PTS. And if they don't know the PTS, the d_audio->last_pts
field can't contain any usable value either, because both fields contain
theame value: the last known valid PTS found in an audio packet.
As the comment n the removed code says, this was once needed for
something subtitle related. This code has been cleaned up long ago,
so at least the original reason for it is gone.
Partial packet reads were needed because the video/audio parsers were
working on top of them. So it could happen that a parser read a part of
a packet, and returned that to the decoder. With libavformat/libavcodec,
packets are already parsed, and everything is much simpler.
Most of the simplifications in ad_spdif could have been done earlier.
Remove some other stuff as well, like the questionable slave mode start
time reporting (could be replaced by proper code, but we don't bother).
Remove the unused skip_audio_frame() functionality as well (it was used
by old demuxers). Some functions become private to demux.c, like
demux_fill_buffer(). Introduce new packet read functions, which have
simpler semantics. Packets returned from them are owned by the caller,
and all packets in the demux.c packet queue are considered unread.
Remove special code that dropped subtitle packets with size 0. This
used to be needed because it caused special cases in the old code.
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 code used to be part of the demux_mpg and vobsub specific code
path. Then (just recently) the different code paths for subtitles were
merged, so this code became active even for demux_lavf and demux_mkv.
As far as I can tell, this code won't help much, and at least sd_lavc
(which will be used for DVD subs and other potentially weird things) can
deal with NOPTS values.
Remove the special handling for mng/mkv. These don't profit at all from
no-correct-pts mode, and even removing the mkv specific code makes mkv
work better (wow!).
Don't check for (int)fps == 1000. I don't know where this value comes
from. Maybe it was once a special value which triggered certain
behavior, but the code for that must have gone away. The only way to
trigger this value would be by coincidence if two frames are 1 ms apart.
Otherwise, the behavior should be exactly the same, except for some
removed messages.
