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.
This is more uniform, and potentially gets rid of some past copyrights.
It might be that this subtly changes caching behavior (it seems before
this, it synced to the demuxer if the length was unknown, which is not
what we want.)
cehoyos adds the step_property command in 7a71da01d, and it could be
argued that copyright of this still applies to the later add/cycle
commands (a668ae0ff9). While I'm not sure if this is really the case,
stay conservative for now and mark these commands as GPL-only. Mark the
command.c code too, although that is not being relicensed yet.
I'm leaving the MP_CMD_* enum items, as they are obviously different.
In commit 116ca0c768, "veal" (essentially an anonymous author) adds an
"osd_show_property_text" command (well, the commit message says "based
on" that person's code, so it's not clear how much is from him or from
albeu, who agreed to LGPL). This was later merged again with the
"osd_show_text" command, and then all original code was removed in
commit 58cc0f637f, so I claim that no copyright applies anymore. (Though
technically the input.conf addition still might be copyrighted, so I'm
just dropping it to get rid of the thought.)
"kiriuja" added 2f376d1b39 (sub_load etc.) and be54f4813 (switch_audio).
The latter is gone. I would argue that the former is fully rewritten
with commits b7052b431c and 0f155921b0. But like in the step_property
case, I will be overly conservative for now, and mark them as GPL-only,
as this is potentially shaky and should be thought through first. (Not
bothering with the command define/enum in the header, as it will be
unused in LGPL mode anyway.)
keycodes.c/h can be GPL, except for commit 2b1f95dcc2, which is a
patch by someone who wasn't asked yet. Before doing something radical, I
will wait for a reply.
This introduces (yet another..) mp_colorspace members, an enum `light`
(for lack of a better name) which basically tells us whether we're
dealing with scene-referred or display-referred light, but also a bit
more metadata (in which way is the scene-referred light expected to be
mapped to the display?).
The addition of this parameter accomplishes two goals:
1. Allows us to actually support HLG more-or-less correctly[1]
2. Allows people playing back direct “camera” content (e.g. v-log or
s-log2) to treat it as scene-referred instead of display-referred
[1] Even better would be to use the display-referred OOTF instead of the
idealized OOTF, but this would require either native HLG support in
LittleCMS (unlikely) or more communication between lcms.c and
video_shaders.c than I'm remotely comfortable with
That being said, in principle we could switch our usage of the BT.1886
EOTF to the BT.709 OETF instead and treat BT.709 content as being
scene-referred under application of the 709+1886 OOTF; which moves that
particular conversion from the 3dlut to the shader code; but also allows
a) users like UliZappe to turn it off and b) supporting the full HLG
OOTF in the same framework. But I think I prefer things as they are
right now.
List of changes:
1. Kill nom_peak, since it's a pointless non-field that stores nothing
of value and is _always_ derived from ref_white anyway.
2. Kill ref_white/--target-brightness, because the only case it really
existed for (PQ) actually doesn't need to be this general: According
to ITU-R BT.2100, PQ *always* assumes a reference monitor with a
white point of 100 cd/m².
3. Improve documentation and comments surrounding this stuff.
4. Clean up some of the code in general. Move stuff where it belongs.
The option->property bridge can't (and shouldn't) preserve option flags.
This is a problem if the flags are actually used by the option
implementation, beyond calling m_config_mark_co_flags().
This was true so far, but b8193e4071 changed this. Now setting the
--profile option (usually from a config file or as recursive profile)
can have side-effects that depend on the flags contents. Solve this by
avoiding going through the "double bridge" altogether.
This fixes a regression if an auto-profile is active, and the user
specifies an option on the command line that is supposed to override an
item in a profile recursively referenced by the auto-profile. The
command line option will not override it, because the auto-profile is
set later, and during application of the auto-profile, the
M_SETOPT_PRESERVE_CMDLINE flag gets lost.
Having to add something to m_property is not nice, and I'll probbaly
regret later. On the other hand, there is a chance that this helps
towards true option/property unification.
Before this, options with co->data==NULL (i.e. no storage) were not
added to the bridge (except alias options). There are a few options
which might make sense to allow via the bridge ("profile" and
"include"). So allow them.
In command_init(), we merely remove the co->data check, the rest of the
diff is due to switching the if/else branches for convenience.
We also must explicitly error on M_PROPERTY_GET if co->data==NULL. All
other cases check it in some way.
Explicitly exclude options from the property bridge, which would be
added due this, and the result would be pointless.
This adds check_property_scalable, which returns true if the property is
backed by a floating-point number. When the add or cycle commands
operate on these properties, they can benefit from the fractional scale
value in cmd->scale. When the property is not backed by a floating-point
number, cmd->scale_units is used instead, so for axis events, the
property is only incrmented when the user scrolls one full unit.
This solution isn't perfect, because in some cases integer-backed
properties could benefit from accurate scrolling. For example, if an
axis is bound to "cycle audio 5", the cycle command could be made to
change the audio track by one when the user scrolls 1/5th of a unit,
though this behaviour would require more changes to the options system.
af_volume is deprecated, and so are its replaygain sub-options. To make
it possible to use replaygain without deprecated options (and of course
to make it available at all after af_volume is dropped), reintroduce
them as top-level options.
This also means that they are easily changeable at runtime by using them
as properties. Change the "volume" property to use the new update
mechanism as well.
We don't actually bother sharing the implementation between new and
deprecated mechanisms, as the deprecated one will simply be deleted.
For the from_dB() functions, we mention anders' copyright, although I'm
not sure if a mere formula is copyrightable. This will have to be
determined later.
This whole change is mostly untested. Our distributed human CI will take
care of it.
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.
Un-special-case the sub-speed property, and apply subtitle speed updates
in more cases. In particular, this respects runtime changes of the
sub-fps option.
(A minor consequence of this is that the subtitle speed is recomputed
more often even in cases when it's not necessary. Also, the subtitle
update is slightly "delayed" rather than strictly instant. Both of
these likely are absolutely not observable by the user, although the
subtitle speed verbose log message will be printed more often if the
subtitle format is MicroDVD.)
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.
This is a bit approximate, because we rely on the pixel format changing
if the hardware decoding changes. This is not always true, as the pixel
format for software decoded video and hardware decoded video copied back
to CPU RAM could be the same. (Not sure if that is actually the case for
any supported cases.)
But for now this should fix most of #4289.
Basically, see the example in input.rst.
This is better than the "old" vf-toggle method, because it doesn't
require the user to duplicate the filter string in mpv.conf and
input.conf.
Some aspects of this changes are untested, so enjoy your alpha testing.
Requested. The property semantics are a bit muddy due to lack of effort.
Anticipated use is different display of cache status, so it should not
matter anyway.
Currently, tracks have always associated streams, so there can't be a
NULL dereference on the next line. But all the code is written with the
possibility in mind that we might want tracks without streams, so make
it consistent.
Found by coverity.
A hacky, convoluted, half-working mess that attempts to cut off overlong
playlists.
It does so by relying on the ASS formatting rule that the font size is
specified in the virtual PlayResY resolution. This means we can
(normally) easily tell how many lines fit on the screen. On the other
hand, this does not work if the text is wrapped.
This as a kludge until a Better™ solution is available.
"show-text test; script-binding display_stats" can potentially crash. It
sends a message event. None of the string arguments can be NULL, which
fails if cmd->key_name is NULL. This in turn can be due to commands
combined with ";" (basically the key association doesn't consider nested
commands).
This was excessively useless, and I want my time back that was needed to
explain users why they don't want to use it.
It captured the byte stream only, and even for types of streams it was
designed for (like transport streams), it was rather questionable.
As part of the removal, un-inline demux_run_on_thread() (which has only
1 call-site now), and sort of reimplement --stream-dump to write the
data directly instead of using the removed capture code.
(--stream-dump is also very useless, and I struggled coming up with an
explanation for it in the manpage.)
"drop-frame-count" -> "decoder-frame-drop-count"
"vo-drop-frame-count" -> "frame-drop-count"
This gets rid of the backwards "drop-frame" part in the name.
Maybe calling the new property "frame-drops" would be better, but there
are already a bunch of similar properties that end in "-count".
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.
The property calls will always succeed anyway. On the other hand, the
error handling is kind of incomplete (doesn't check setting ab-loop-a
when ab-loop-b is also set), so drop this code.
Was intended to show a "nice" message on edition switching. In practice,
the message was never visible. The OSD code checks whether a demuxer is
loaded, and if not, discards the message - meaning if the OSD code
happened to run before the demuxer was fully loaded, no message was
shown. This is apparently a regression due to extensions to the OSD and
the situations in which it can be used.
Remove the broken code since it's too annoying to fix. Instead, a
default property message will be shown, which is a bit uglier, but
actually not too unuseful.
Remove more stuff that was needed only for legacy suboptions.
One user-visible change is that parent-options like --tv are now not
visible anymore. They lead to a special error message when used before,
but now they're simply not part of the option list anymore.
For some reason, some types of accesses didn't warn, for example when
using mp.observe_property() in Lua. This was because the deprecation
handling code explicitly checks certain accesses. I'm not quite certain
why it was done this way. Just make it warn always.
This could be backported to the current release, if we cared.
As threatened by the API changes document.
We can actually keep the deprecated --playlist-pos and --cache options,
since they are aliases and not used by the corresponding properties.
They are inconsistent, but do no harm. Keep them for now for the sake of
the command line user.
mpv_identify.sh partially stopped working, because it was never updated.
The shell magic can't deal with property names that contain "/", so we
can't replace "samplerate" with "audio-params/samplerate" - just remove
these properties. (How about you use ffprobe?)
Run "playlist-remove current" while the last playlist entry is being
played stopped playback. Fix this and return to the first entry instead.
Fixes#3808.
--reset-on-next-file=all triggers m_config_backup_all_opts(), which
backups all options (even deprecated ones). Later, when the option
values are reset with m_config_restore_backups(), mp_on_set_option() is
called, which in turn calls mp_property_do_silent(), which in turn will
call mp_property_generic_option() and m_config_get_co(), which triggers
the deprecation message.
Unfortunately there's no good way to determine whether an option has
actually changed (there's no option value compare operation), so the
deprecated options have to be set no matter what. On the other hand, we
can't pass through additional flags through the property layer. So we
add a dumb global flag to silence the deprecation warnings in these
cases.
Fortunately m_config_get_co_raw() works to silence the warnings.
m_config_get_co() also resolves aliases (deprecated and non-deprecated),
but aliased options are handled differently by the option-property
bridge, so we don't need to do that here, so the only purpose of it is
to trigger a warning for deprecated (non-alias) options.
The tv-freq options and properties use different types, thus must be
treated as incompatible. Fixes an assertion with reset-on-next-file=all,
which tries to set the option.
Fixes#3708.
Don't require special property code for handling updates, and simply use
the UPDATE_AUDIO flag instead. Also make runtime changes to
--audio-client-name take effect.
Now a reload requested by an AO behaves in exactly the same way as
changing an AO-related options (like --audio-channels or
--audio-exclusive). This is good for testing and uniform behavior. (You
could go as far as saying it's a necessity, because the spotty and
obscure AO reload behavior is hard to reproduce and thus hard to test at
all.)
This affects changing audio configuration options. Explicitly flush and
uninitialize the audio output first before doing the rest. This should
ensure all state attached to the audio output is discarded and not used
during the reconfiguration.
Also add a comment to the reinit_audio_filters() call. It doesn't
necessarily restore the audio chain fully, but makes sure a seek is
issued if the amnount of buffered audio discarded was huge enough to
cause "problems".
If we really want client API users to use mpv_set_property() instead of
mpv_set_option(), then compatibility handling of deprecated options
should be included. Otherwise, there's the danger that client API users
either break too early (and without a warning), or mpv_set_option() will
continue to have a reason to exist.
"seek -10 absolute" will seek to 10 seconds before the end. This more or less
matches the --start option and negative seeks were otherwise useless (they just
clipped to 0).
Move the screensaver enable/disable determination to a central place,
and call it if the stop-screensaver property is changed.
Also, do not stop the screensaver when in idle mode (i.e. no file is
loaded).
Fixes#3615.
I'm not sure if this option affects anything or if it's a placebo,
especially since the VO thread is now registered with MMCSS. Still, I
think --priority=high may have helped back when I used mplayer2 on a
netbook. It's also possible that encoding-mode users would want to set
--priority=idle.
Anyway, it was one of the last M_OPT_FIXED options, so fix that.
