See manpage additions. This is a huge hack. You can bet there are shit
tons of bugs. It's literally forcing square pegs into round holes.
Hopefully, the manpage wall of text makes it clear enough that the whole
shit can easily crash and burn. (Although it shouldn't literally crash.
That would be a bug. It possibly _could_ start a fire by entering some
sort of endless loop, not a literal one, just something where it tries
to do work without making progress.)
(Some obvious bugs I simply ignored for this initial version, but
there's a number of potential bugs I can't even imagine. Normal playback
should remain completely unaffected, though.)
How this works is also described in the manpage. Basically, we demux in
reverse, then we decode in reverse, then we render in reverse.
The decoding part is the simplest: just reorder the decoder output. This
weirdly integrates with the timeline/ordered chapter code, which also
has special requirements on feeding the packets to the decoder in a
non-straightforward way (it doesn't conflict, although a bugmessmass
breaks correct slicing of segments, so EDL/ordered chapter playback is
broken in backward direction).
Backward demuxing is pretty involved. In theory, it could be much
easier: simply iterating the usual demuxer output backward. But this
just doesn't fit into our code, so there's a cthulhu nightmare of shit.
To be specific, each stream (audio, video) is reversed separately. At
least this means we can do backward playback within cached content (for
example, you could play backwards in a live stream; on that note, it
disables prefetching, which would lead to losing new live video, but
this could be avoided).
The fuckmess also meant that I didn't bother trying to support
subtitles. Subtitles are a problem because they're "sparse" streams.
They need to be "passively" demuxed: you don't try to read a subtitle
packet, you demux audio and video, and then look whether there was a
subtitle packet. This means to get subtitles for a time range, you need
to know that you demuxed video and audio over this range, which becomes
pretty messy when you demux audio and video backwards separately.
Backward display is the most weird (and potentially buggy) part. To
avoid that we need to touch a LOT of timing code, we negate all
timestamps. The basic idea is that due to the navigation, all
comparisons and subtractions of timestamps keep working, and you don't
need to touch every single of them to "reverse" them.
E.g.:
bool before = pts_a < pts_b;
would need to be:
bool before = forward
? pts_a < pts_b
: pts_a > pts_b;
or:
bool before = pts_a * dir < pts_b * dir;
or if you, as it's implemented now, just do this after decoding:
pts_a *= dir;
pts_b *= dir;
and then in the normal timing/renderer code:
bool before = pts_a < pts_b;
Consequently, we don't need many changes in the latter code. But some
assumptions inhererently true for forward playback may have been broken
anyway. What is mainly needed is fixing places where values are passed
between positive and negative "domains". For example, seeking and
timestamp user display always uses positive timestamps. The main mess is
that it's not obvious which domain a given variable should or does use.
Well, in my tests with a single file, it suddenly started to work when I
did this. I'm honestly surprised that it did, and that I didn't have to
change a single line in the timing code past decoder (just something
minor to make external/cached text subtitles display). I committed it
immediately while avoiding thinking about it. But there really likely
are subtle problems of all sorts.
As far as I'm aware, gstreamer also supports backward playback. When I
looked at this years ago, I couldn't find a way to actually try this,
and I didn't revisit it now. Back then I also read talk slides from the
person who implemented it, and I'm not sure if and which ideas I might
have taken from it. It's possible that the timestamp reversal is
inspired by it, but I didn't check. (I think it claimed that it could
avoid large changes by changing a sign?)
VapourSynth has some sort of reverse function, which provides a backward
view on a video. The function itself is trivial to implement, as
VapourSynth aims to provide random access to video by frame numbers (so
you just request decreasing frame numbers). From what I remember, it
wasn't exactly fluid, but it worked. It's implemented by creating an
index, and seeking to the target on demand, and a bunch of caching. mpv
could use it, but it would either require using VapourSynth as demuxer
and decoder for everything, or replacing the current file every time
something is supposed to be played backwards.
FFmpeg's libavfilter has reversal filters for audio and video. These
require buffering the entire media data of the file, and don't really
fit into mpv's architecture. It could be used by playing a libavfilter
graph that also demuxes, but that's like VapourSynth but worse.
The demuxer cache is the only cache now. Might need another change to
combat seeking failures in mp4 etc. The only bad thing is the loss of
cache-speed, which was sort of nice to have.
The player fully restarts playback when the edition or disk title is
changed. Before this, the player tried to reinitialized playback
partially. For example, it did not print a new "Playing: <file>"
message, and did not send playback end to libmpv users (scripts or
applications).
This playback restart code was a bit messy and could have unforeseen
interactions with various state. There have been bugs before. Since it's
a mostly cosmetic thing for an obscure feature, just change it to a full
restart. This works well, though since it may have consequences for
scripts or client API users, mention it in interface-changes.rst.
Before this, mpctx->playing was often used to determine whether certain
new state could be added to the playback state. In particular this
affected external files (which added tracks and demuxers). The variable
was checked to prevent that they were added before the corresponding
uninit code. We want to make a small part of uninit asynchronous, but
mpctx->playing needs to stay in the place where it is. It can't be used
for this purpose anymore.
Use mpctx->stop_play instead. Make it never have the value 0 outside of
loading/playback. On unloading, it obviously has to be non-0.
Change some other code in playloop.c to use this, because it seems
slightly more correct. But mostly this is preparation for the following
commit.
The player fully restarts playback when the edition or disk title is

message, and did not send playback end to libmpv users (scripts or

Until now, they could be aborted only by ending playback, and calling
mpv_abort_async_command didn't do anything.
This requires furthering the mess how playback abort is done. The main
reason why mp_cancel exists at all is to avoid that a "frozen" demuxer
(blocked on network I/O or whatever) cannot freeze the core. The core
should always get its way. Previously, there was a single mp_cancel
handle, that could be signaled, and all demuxers would unfreeze. With
external files, we might want to abort loading of a certain external
file, which automatically means they need a separate mp_cancel. So give
every demuxer its own mp_cancel, and "slave" it to whatever parent
mp_cancel handles aborting.
Since the mpv demuxer API conflates creating the demuxer and reading the
file headers, mp_cancel strictly need to be created before the demuxer
is created (or we couldn't abort loading). Although we give every
demuxer its own mp_cancel (as "enforced" by cancel_and_free_demuxer),
it's still rather messy to create/destroy it along with the demuxer.
This affects async commands started by client API, commands with async
capability run in a sync way by client API (think mpv_command_node()
with "subprocess"), and detached async work.
Since scripts might want to do some cleanup work (that might involve
launching processes, don't ask), we don't unconditionally kill
everything on exit, but apply an arbitrary timeout of 2 seconds until
async commands are aborted.
Many asynchronous commands are potentially long running operations, such
as loading something from network or running a foreign process.
Obviously it shouldn't just be possible for them to freeze the player if
they don't terminate as expected. Also, there will be situations where
you want to explicitly stop some of those operations explicitly. So add
an infrastructure for this.
Commands have to support this explicitly. The next commit uses this to
actually add support to a command.
If a struct as large as MPContext contains a field named "lock", it
creates the impression that it is the primary lock for MPContext. This
is wrong, the lock just protects a single field.
Pretty trivial, since commands can be async now, and the common code
even provides convenience like running commands on a worker thread.
The only ugly thing is that mp_add_external_file() needs an extra flag
for locking. This is because there's still some code which calls this
synchronously from the main thread, and unlocking the core makes no
sense there.
This enables two types of command behavior:
1. Plain async behavior, like "loadfile" not completing until the file
is fully loaded.
2. Running parts of the command on worker threads, e.g. for I/O, such as
"sub-add" doing network accesses on a thread while the core
continues.
Both have no implementation yet, and most new code is actually inactive.
The plan is to implement a number of useful cases in the following
commits.
The most tricky part is handling internal keybindings (input.conf) and
the multi-command feature (concatenating commands with ";"). It requires
a bunch of roundabout code to make it do the expected thing in
combination with async commands.
There is the question how commands should be handled that come in at a
higher rate than what can be handled by the core. Currently, it will
simply queue up input.conf commands as long as memory lasts. The client
API is limited by the size of the reply queue per client. For commands
which require a worker thread, the thread pool is limited to 30 threads,
and then will queue up work in memory. The number is completely
arbitrary.
Fixes several issues playing back mpegts with video streams marked
as having "still images". For example, see this video which has
frames only every 6s: https://s3.amazonaws.com/tmm1/music-choice.ts
Changes include:
- start playback right away, without waiting for first video frame
- do not consider the sparse video stream in demuxer underrun detection
- do not require multiple video frames for the VO
- use audio as the master stream for demuxer metadata events
- use audio stream for playback time

ffmpeg marks audio tracks which are not meant to be played standalone
as DEPENDENT. these are typically used in DVB broadcasts for audio
descriptions, and are meant to be mixed into the main audio track during
playback.
This changes how mpv_terminate_destroy() and mpv_detach_destroy()
behave. The doxygen in client.h tries to point out the differences. The
goal is to make this more useful to the API user (making it behave like
refcounting).
This will be refined in follow up commits.
Initialization is unfortunately closely tied to termination, so that
changes as well. This also removes earlier hacks that make sure that
some parts of FFmpeg initialization are run in the playback thread
(instead of the user's thread). This does not matter with standard
FFmpeg, and I have no reason to care about this anymore.
The purpose of the new API is to make it useable with other APIs than
OpenGL, especially D3D11 and vulkan. In theory it's now possible to
support other vo_gpu backends, as well as backends that don't use the
vo_gpu code at all.
This also aims to get rid of the dumb mpv_get_sub_api() function. The
life cycle of the new mpv_render_context is a bit different from
mpv_opengl_cb_context, and you explicitly create/destroy the new
context, instead of calling init/uninit on an object returned by
mpv_get_sub_api().
In other to make the render API generic, it's annoyingly EGL style, and
requires you to pass in API-specific objects to generic functions. This
is to avoid explicit objects like the internal ra API has, because that
sounds more complicated and annoying for an API that's supposed to never
change.
The opengl_cb API will continue to exist for a bit longer, but
internally there are already a few tradeoffs, like reduced
thread-safety.
Mostly untested. Seems to work fine with mpc-qt.
The recent changes to player/audio.c moved PTS jump detection to after
audio filtering. This was mostly done for convenience, because dataflow
between decoder and filters was made "automatic", and jump detection
would have to be done as filter. Now move it back to after decoders,
again out of convenience. The future direction is to make the dataflow
between filters and AO automatic, so this is a bit in the way. Another
reason is that speed changes tend to cause jumps - these are legitimate,
but get annoying quickly.
Before this commit, auto_loaded and lang were only set for the first
track in auto-loaded external files. Likewise, for the title and
lang arguments to the sub-add and audio-add commands.
Fixes#5432
Use the decoder wrapper that was introduced for video. This removes all
code duplication the old audio decoder wrapper had with the video code.
(The audio wrapper was copy pasted from the video one over a decade ago,
and has been kept in sync ever since by the power of copy&paste. Since
the original copy&paste was possibly done by someone who did not answer
to the LGPL relicensing, this should also remove all doubts about
whether any of this code is left, since we now completely remove any
code that could possibly have been based on it.)
There is some complication with spdif handling, and a minor behavior
change (it will restrict the list of codecs to spdif if spdif is to be
used), but there should not be any difference in practice.
Move dec_video.c to filters/f_decoder_wrapper.c. It essentially becomes
a source filter. vd.h mostly disappears, because mp_filter takes care of
the dataflow, but its remains are in struct mp_decoder_fns.
One goal is to simplify dataflow by letting the filter framework handle
it (or more accurately, using its conventions). One result is that the
decode calls disappear from video.c, because we simply connect the
decoder wrapper and the filter chain with mp_pin_connect().
Another goal is to eventually remove the code duplication between the
audio and video paths for this. This commit prepares for this by trying
to make f_decoder_wrapper.c extensible, so it can be used for audio as
well later.
Decoder framedropping changes a bit. It doesn't seem to be worse than
before, and it's an obscure feature, so I'm content with its new state.
Some special code that was apparently meant to avoid dropping too many
frames in a row is removed, though.
I'm not sure how the source code tree should be organized. For one,
video/decode/vd_lavc.c is the only file in its directory, which is a bit
annoying.
Get rid of the old vf.c code. Replace it with a generic filtering
framework, which can potentially handle more than just --vf. At least
reimplementing --af with this code is planned.
This changes some --vf semantics (including runtime behavior and the
"vf" command). The most important ones are listed in interface-changes.
vf_convert.c is renamed to f_swscale.c. It is now an internal filter
that can not be inserted by the user manually.
f_lavfi.c is a refactor of player/lavfi.c. The latter will be removed
once --lavfi-complex is reimplemented on top of f_lavfi.c. (which is
conceptually easy, but a big mess due to the data flow changes).
The existing filters are all changed heavily. The data flow of the new
filter framework is different. Especially EOF handling changes - EOF is
now a "frame" rather than a state, and must be passed through exactly
once.
Another major thing is that all filters must support dynamic format
changes. The filter reconfig() function goes away. (This sounds complex,
but since all filters need to handle EOF draining anyway, they can use
the same code, and it removes the mess with reconfig() having to predict
the output format, which completely breaks with libavfilter anyway.)
In addition, there is no automatic format negotiation or conversion.
libavfilter's primitive and insufficient API simply doesn't allow us to
do this in a reasonable way. Instead, filters can use f_autoconvert as
sub-filter, and tell it which formats they support. This filter will in
turn add actual conversion filters, such as f_swscale, to perform
necessary format changes.
vf_vapoursynth.c uses the same basic principle of operation as before,
but with worryingly different details in data flow. Still appears to
work.
The hardware deint filters (vf_vavpp.c, vf_d3d11vpp.c, vf_vdpaupp.c) are
heavily changed. Fortunately, they all used refqueue.c, which is for
sharing the data flow logic (especially for managing future/past
surfaces and such). It turns out it can be used to factor out most of
the data flow. Some of these filters accepted software input. Instead of
having ad-hoc upload code in each filter, surface upload is now
delegated to f_autoconvert, which can use f_hwupload to perform this.
Exporting VO capabilities is still a big mess (mp_stream_info stuff).
The D3D11 code drops the redundant image formats, and all code uses the
hw_subfmt (sw_format in FFmpeg) instead. Although that too seems to be a
big mess for now.
f_async_queue is unused.
If you play a video with an external audio track, and do backwards
keyframe seeks, then audio can be missing. This is because a backwards
seek can end up way before the seek target (this is just how this seek
mode works). The audio file will be seeked at the correct seek target
(since audio usually has a much higher seek granularity), which results
in silence being played until the video reaches the originally intended
seek target.
There was a hack in audio.c to deal with this. Replace it with a
different hack. The new hack probably works about as well as the old
hack, except it doesn't add weird crap to the audio resync path (which
is some of the worst code here, so this is some nice preparation for
rewriting it). As a more practical advantage, it doesn't discard the
audio demuxer packet cache. The old code did, which probably ruined
seeking in youtube DASH streams.
A non-hacky solution would be handling external files in the demuxer
layer. Then chaining the seeks would be pretty easy. But we're pretty
far from that, because it would either require intrusive changes to the
demuxer layer, or wouldn't be flexible enough to load/unload external
files at runtime. Maybe later.
Before this commit, some autoselection of tracks coming from files
loaded with --external-files was still done. This commit removes all of
it, and the only way to select a track is via the explicit stream
selection options like --vid/--sid/--aid.
I think this was always the original intention. The change could in
theory still unintentionally surprise some users, so add a changelog
entry.
This does not affect --audio-file/--sub-file, even if these contain
mismatching track types. E.g. if audio files passed to --audio-file
contain subtitles, these should still be selected. Past feature requests
indicate that users want this.
This tried to be clever by waiting for a longer time each time the
buffer was underrunning, or shorter if it was getting better. I think
this was pretty weird behavior and makes no sense. If the user really
wants the stream to buffer longer, he/she/it can just pause the player
(the network caches will continue to be filled until they're full).
Every time I actually noticed this code triggering in my own use, I
didn't find it helpful. Apart from that it was pretty hard to test.
Some waiting is needed to avoid that the player just plays the available
data as fast as possible (to compensate for late frames and underrunning
audio). Just use a fixed wait time, which can now be controlled by the
new --cache-pause-wait option.
A release has been made, so drop options deprecated for that release.
Also drop some options which have been deprecated a much longer time
before.
Also fix a typo in client-api-changes.rst.
If --ab-loop-b is present, then ab-looping will be enabled and will
attempt to seek to the beginning of the file. This patch changes it
so it will instead seek to the start of playback, either via --start
or some equivalent, rather than always to the beginning of the file.
Added a get_play_start_pts function to coincide with the
already-existing get_play_end_pts. This prevents code duplication
and also serves to make it so code that probes the start time
(such as get_current_pos_ratio) will work correctly with chapters.
Included is a bug fix for misc.c/rel_time_to_abs that makes it work
correctly with chapters when --rebase-start-time=no is set.
This code could not be relicensed. The intention was to write new filter
code (which could handle both audio and video), but that's a bit of
work. Write some code that can do audio conversion (resampling,
downmixing, etc.) without the old audio filter chain code in order to
speed up the LGPL relicensing.
If you build with --disable-libaf, nothing in audio/filter/* is compiled
in. It breaks a few features, such as --volume, --af, pitch correction
on speed changes, replaygain.
Most likely this adds some bugs, even if --disable-libaf is not used.
(How the fuck does EOF notification work again anyway?)
This mechanism uses system() and shouldn't even exist. x11_common.c has
its own solution for the original problem (disabling Linux DE
screensavers without MPlayer/mpv having to link a dbus lib). If that is
not sufficient, you can create a simple Lua script.
Incidentally fixes#4888.
This removes all GPL only code from it, and that's the whole purpose.
Also happens to be much simpler.
The "deinterlace" option still sort of exists, but only as runtime
changeable option. The main change in behavior is that the property will
not report back the actual deint state. Or in other words, if inserting
or initializing the filter fails, the deinterlace property will still
return "yes". This is in line with most recent behavior changes to
properties and options.
This is pretty pointless, but I believe it allows us to claim that the
new code is not affected by the copyright of the old code. This is
needed, because the original mp_audio struct was written by someone who
has disagreed with LGPL relicensing (it was called af_data at the time,
and was defined in af.h).
The "GPL'ed" struct contents that surive are pretty trivial: just the
data pointer, and some metadata like the format, samplerate, etc. - but
at least in this case, any new code would be extremely similar anyway,
and I'm not really sure whether it's OK to claim different copyright. So
what we do is we just use AVFrame (which of course is LGPL with 100%
certainty), and add some accessors around it to adapt it to mpv
conventions.
Also, this gets rid of some annoying conventions of mp_audio, like the
struct fields that require using an accessor to write to them anyway.
For the most part, this change is only dumb replacements of mp_audio
related functions and fields. One minor actual change is that you can't
allocate the new type on the stack anymore.
Some code still uses mp_audio. All audio filter code will be deleted, so
it makes no sense to convert this code. (Audio filters which are LGPL
and which we keep will have to be ported to a new filter infrastructure
anyway.) player/audio.c uses it because it interacts with the old filter
code. push.c has some complex use of mp_audio and mp_audio_buffer, but
this and pull.c will most likely be rewritten to do something else.
Refresh seeks are automatically issued when changing filters, which
improves user experience if these filters change buffering or such.
The refresh seek could actually overwrite a previously ongoing seek:
set pause yes
set time-pos 10
set vf ""
Here, the video code issued a refresh seek to the previous video
position, which could be different from the previously triggered (and
still ongoing) seek, this overwriting the seek.
Factor all refresh seek handling into a new function, and make it handle
ongoing seeks correctly.
Remove the weird new canonical_pts field, which actually had no use.
Fixes#4757.
Tends to be somewhat glitchy if subtitles are enabled, and you enable
and disable tracks.
On error, this will disable --lavfi-complex, which will result in
whatever behavior.
These files have all in common that they were fully or mostly taken from
mplayer.c. (mplayer.c was a huge file that contains almost all of the
playback core, until it was split into multiple parts.) This was
probably the hardest part to relicense, because so much code was moved
around all the time.
player/audio.c still does not compile. We'll have to redo audio
filtering. Once that is done, we can probably actually provide an
actual LGPL configure switch.
Here is a relatively detailed list of potential issues:
8d190244: author did not reply, parts were made GPL-only in a previous
commit.
7882ea9b: author could not be reached, but the code is gone. wscript
still has --datadir switch, but I don't think this is relevant to
copyright.
f197efd5: unclear origin, but I consider the code gone anyway (replaced
with generic OSD mechanisms).
8337d9c2: author did not reply, but only the option still exists (under
a different name), other code was removed.
d8fd7131: did not reply. Disabled in a previous commit.
05258251: same author as above. Both fields actually seem to have
vanished (even when tracking renames), so no action taken.
d459e644, 268b2c1a: author did not reply, but we reuse only the options
(with different names and slightly or fully different semantics, and
completely different implementations), so I don't think this is relevant
for copyright.
09e742fe, 17c39c4e: same as above.
e8a173de, bff4b3ee: author could not be reached. The commands were
reworked to properties, and the code outside of the TV code were moved
back to the TV code. So I don't think copyright applies to the current
command.c parts (mp_property_tv_color, mp_property_tv_freq,
mp_property_tv_scan). The TV parts remain GPL.
0810e427: could not be reached. Disabled in a previous commit.
43744a2d: unknown author, but this was replaced by dynamic alloc (if the
change is even copyrightable).
116ca0c7: unknown author; reasoning see input.c relicensing commit.
e7e4d1d8: these semantics still exist, but as generic code, and this
code was fully removed.
f1175cd9: the author of the cited patch is unknown, and upon inspection
it turns out that I was only using the idea to pause the player on EOF,
so I claim it's not copyright relevant.
25affdcc: author could not be reached (yet) - but it's only a function
rename, not copyrightable.
5728504c was committed by Arpi (who agreed), but hints that it might be
by a different author. In fact it seems to be mostly this patch:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2001-November/002041.html
The author did not respond, but it all seems to have been removed later.
It's a terrible mess though. Arpi reverted the A-V sync code at first,
but left the RTC code for a while. The following commits remove these
changes 100%: 14b35442, 7181a091, 31482783, 614f8475, df58e822.
cehoyos did explicitly not agree to LGPL, but was involved in the
following changes:
c99d8fc8: applied a patch and didn't modify it, the original author
agreed.
40ac0d31: author could not be reached, but all code is gone anyway. The
"af" command has a similar function, but works completely different and
actually reuses a mechanism older than this patch.
54350436: applied a patch, but didn't modify it, except for adding a
German translation, which was removed later.
a2dda036: same situation as above
240b743e: this was made GPL-only in a previous commit
7b25afd7: same as above (for now)
kirijua could not be reached, but was a regular patch contributor:
c2c997fd: video equalizer code move; probably not copyrightable. Is GPL
due to Nick anyway.
be54f481: technically, this became the audio track property later. But
all what is left is the fact that you pass a track ID to it, so consider
the original coypright non-relevant.
2f376d1b: this was rewritten in b7052b43, but for now we can afford to
be careful, so this was marked as GPL only in a previous commit.
43844d09: remaining parts in main.c were reverted in a previous commit.
anders has mostly disagreed with the LGPL relicensing. Does not want
libaf to become LGPL, but made some concessions. In particular, he
granted us permission to relicense 4943e9c52c and 242aa6ebd4. We also
consider some of his changes remaining in mpv not relevant for copyright
(such as 735de602 - we won't remove the this option completely). We will
completely remove his other contributions, including the entire audio
filter chain. For now, this stuff is marked as GPL only. The remaining
question is how much code in player/audio.c (based on the former
mplayer.c and dec_audio.c) is under his copyright. I made claims about
this in a previous commit.
Nick(ols) Kurshev, svn username "nick" and "nickols_k", could not be
reached. He had a lot of changes in early MPlayer. It seems all of that
was removed, at least in mpv. His main work, like VIDIX or libswscale
work, does not exist in mpv anymore, but the changes to mplayer.c and
other core parts still deserve attention:
a4119f6b, fb927549, ad3529b8, e11b23dc, 5f2178be, 93c371d5: removed in
b43d67e0, d1628d12, 24ed01fe, df58e822.
0a83c6ec, 104c125e, 4e067f62, aec5dcc8, b587a3d6, f3de6e6b: DR, VAA, and
"tune" stuff was fully removed later on or replaced with other

340183b0: screenshots were redone later (the VOCTRL was even removed,
with an independent implementation using the same VOCTRL a few years
later), so not relevant anymore. Basically only the 's' shortcut remains
(but not its implementation).
92c5c274, bffd4007, 555c6766: for now marked as GPL only in a previous
commit.
Might contain some trace amounts of "michael"'s copyright, who agreed to
LGPL only once the core is relicensed. This will still be respected, but
I don't think it matters at this in this case. (Some code touched by him
was merged into mplayer.c, and then disappeared after heavy
refactoring.)
I tried to be as careful and as complete as possible. It can't be
excluded that amends to this will be made later.
This does not make the player LGPL yet.
It was extended by "seru" in 8d190244. This person could not be reached
(or does not reply), and it's in the way of LGPL relicensing. Deprecate
it, and mark the (probably) affected parts of the code with HAVE_GPL. To
be fair, even though the osd.c parts were refactored from the original
code, there's probably no copyright by seru on it. But for now play it
save. The mere existence of a 3rd OSD level is certainly not
copyrightable, so you still can set osd-level to 3 - just that it does
nothing.
The previous commit set "mpctx->playback_active = false;" before unload
hooks were processed. This was intentional, but could in theory cause
playback_active to be set to true again, and actually it's plain wrong
if playback was exited in the middle it. There needs to be something
else that forces playback_active to be set to false while in this
unloading state.
Make mpv_observe_property() work correctly on them even with
--keep-open-pause=no.
This also changes the situations in which the screensaver is
enabled/disabled subtly.
Merge the pause_player() and unpause_player() functions. Make sure the
pause events are emitted properly. We can now set the internal pause
state based on a predicate, instead of e.g. handle_pause_on_low_cache()
making a mess to trigger the internal pause state as wanted.
Preparation for some more changes.
And also change input.conf to make all screenshots async. (Except the
every-frame mode, which always uses synchronous mode and ignores the
flag.) By default, the "screenshot" command is still asynchronous,
because scripts etc. might depend on this behavior.
This is only partially async. The code for determining the filename is
still always run synchronously. Only encoding the screenshot and writing
it to disk is asynchronous. We explicitly document the exact behavior as
undefined, so it can be changed any time.
Some of this is a bit messy, because I wanted to avoid duplicating the
message display code between sync and async mode. In async mode, this is
called from a worker thread, which is not safe because showing a message
accesses the thread-unsafe OSD code. So the core has to be locked during
this, which implies accessing the core and all that. So the code has
weird locking calls, and we need to do core destruction in a more
"controlled" manner (thus the outstanding_async field).
(What I'd really want would be the OSD simply showing log messages
instead.)
This is pretty untested, so expect bugs.
Fixes#4250.
Since for mpv CLI, the player state is a singleton, full prefetching is
a bit tricky. We do it only on the demuxer layer.
The implementation reuses the old "open thread". This means there is
significant potential for regressions even if the new option is not
used. This is made worse by the fact that I barely tested this code.
The generic mpctx_run_reentrant() wrapper is also removed - this was its
only user, and its remains become part of the new implementation.
As preparation for file prefetching, we basically have to get rid of
using mpctx->playback_abort for the main demuxer (i.e. the thing that
can be prefetched). It can't be changed on a running demuxer, and always
using the same cancel handle would either mean aborting playback would
also abort prefetching, or that playback can't be aborted anymore.
Make this more flexible with some refactoring.
Thi is a quite shitty solution if you ask me, but YOLO.
