This was intended for translating filenames from filesystem charset to
the terminal charset. Modern sane platforms use UTF-8 for everything,
and on Windows we use unicode APIs, so this is not needed anymore.
Remove filename_recode, all uses of it, options and configure checks
related to terminal output charset, and code that tries to determine
the same.
This had very limited usefulness, and you're much better off using
ffmpeg directly. Even if that should not be sufficient, the mplayer
encoding branch might provide a better way out.
Most of these demuxers and decoders are provided in better form by
libav, while the mplayer builtin ones are essentially unmaintained. The
only legimitate use case for not using the libav ones was working around
libav bugs or bugs related to the way mplayer uses libav. Instead of
trying to keep dead code alive, development effort should go into
improving libav or the mplayer libav glue code.
Note that the libav demuxer have been preferred over the mplayer builtin
ones for a while in mplayer2. There were some exceptions: playing DVDs
with dvdnav or playing network sources. (That's because some stream
modules and network.c requested explicit file formats, such as
DEMUXER_TYPE_MPEG_PS, which mapped to builtin demuxers.) With this
commit, they are switched to use libav. One caveat is that the requested
format is not passed to libavformat, instead we rely on the auto probing
to select the correct libav demuxer (see code in demux_open_stream()).
The old option parser required adding two options for each flag option:
e.g. "-video" and "-novideo". Later, code was added to handle the "no-"
prefix automatically for flag options. Remove the "no" prefixed options
entirely (unless they are not flag options, then just rename them), and
require the user to use the "no-" prefix instead.
You can't use the old prefix anymore.
Old: -novideo
New: --no-video
The code used for benchmarking and showing CPU stats in the status line
was inaccurate, misleading and fragile. The final nail in the coffin is
the fact that many libav decoders are multithreaded now, and mplayer
couldn't possibly measure the CPU time consumed by them.
Add the --untimed option. This makes the video untimed, just like
--benchmark did (still requires disabling audio synchronization).
This used /dev/rtc for timing. /dev/rtc root only by default, and I
have a hard time believing that the standard OS functions are not good
enough. (Even if not, support for POSIX high resolution timers should
be added instead, see clock_gettime() and others.)
mplayer tries to catch all signals by default, and displays a "nice"
crash message if a signal is caught. This is mostly useless for
diagnosing problems, and it's extremely fragile. It's likely to cause
more harm than it possibly solves.
Also remove the current_module variable, which was supposed to give a
hint which submodule was being run. This was far from accurate or
useful.
mplayer also caught SIG_CHILD, and tried to wait for any children. This
potentially gets rid of zombies, but I'm not sure which ones. The only
places that fork(), cache2.c and unrar_exec.c, seem to wait for their
child processes properly. Just get rid of it.
Note that we don't even catch SIGTERM. Maybe this will have to be added
back in order to re-enable screensavers and such when the user
terminates mplayer with ^C on the terminal.
The previous commit made libass the default OSD renderer. This commit
removes the disabled freetype renderer completely. The commits were
done separately to make rolling back easier, because using libass for
OSD rendering is a risky choice.
Also remove freetype/fontconfig/fribidi code. This is all done by
libass now.
If mplayer is compiled without libass, no OSD is displayed.
The OSD will now be rendered with libass. The old rendering code, which
used freetype/fontconfig and did text layout manually, is disabled. To
re-enable the old code, use the --disable-libass-osd configure switch.
Some switches do nothing with the new code enabled, such as -subalign,
-sub-bg-alpha, -sub-bg-color, and many more. (The reason is mostly that
the code for rendering unstyled subtitles with libass doesn't make any
attempts to support them. Some of them could be supported in theory.)
Teletext rendering is not implemented in the new OSD rendering code. I
don't have any teletext sources for testing, and since teletext is
being phased out world-wide, the need for this is questionable.
Note that rendering is extremely inefficient, mostly because the libass
output is blended with the extremely strange mplayer OSD format. This
could be improved at a later point.
Remove most OSD rendering from vo_aa.c, because that was extremely
hacky, can't be made work with osd_libass, and didn't work anyway in
my tests.
Internally, some cleanup is done. Subtitle and OSD related variable
declarations were literally all over the place. Move them to sub.h and
sub.c, which were hoarding most of these declarations already. Make the
player core in mplayer.c free of concerns like bitmap font loading.
The old OSD rendering code has been moved to osd_ft.c. The font_load.c
and font_load_ft.c are only needed and compiled if the old OSD
rendering code is configured.
This enables playing URLs from libquvi supported streaming sites
directly, e.g. "mplayer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...."
Anything opened with mplayer is checked with libquvi. If it looks like
a URL of a supported streaming site, libquvi is used to extract the
media URL, which is then passed to the lower level mplayer code
instead of the HTML URL. Hopefully the libquvi URL checker works well
enough that it doesn't cause any problems with normal URLs, files, or
whatever else mplayer's stream layer accepts.
Add the --libquvi-format option. the option value is directly passed to
libquvi as requested format. The only values that seem to work for any
streaming site seem to be "best" (best quality) and "default" (lowest
quality). The mplayer option defaults to "best" (overriding libquvi's
default).
Outstanding issues:
- Does libquvi checking every opened file really not cause problems?
Should there be a runtime option to disable libquvi use?
(Probably not an issue.)
- Should we check/set the supported protocol? By default libquvi has
support for all protocols enabled. In the worst case, it might return
an URL using a protocol not supported by mplayer, even though it
could extract URLs with other protocols too.
(Probably not an issue.)
- Somehow export metadata (like media title) to the mplayer frontend?
Conflicts:
.gitignore
bstr.c
cfg-mplayer.h
defaultopts.c
libvo/video_out.c
The conflict in bstr.c is due to uau adding a bstr_getline function in
commit 2ba8b91a97. This function already existed in this branch.
While uau's function is obviously derived from mine, it's incompatible.
His function preserves line breaks, while mine strips them. Add a
bstr_strip_linebreaks function, fix all other uses of bstr_getline, and
pick uau's implementation.
In .gitignore, change vo_gl3_shaders.h to use an absolute path
additional to resolving the merge conflict.
Add an alternate mode for option parser objects (struct m_config)
which is not inherently tied to any particular instance of an option
value struct. Instead, this type or parsers can be used to initialize
defaults in or parse values into a struct given as a parameter. They
do not have the save slot functionality used for main player
configuration. The new functionality will be used to replace the
separate subopt_helper.c parsing code that is currently used to parse
per-object suboptions in VOs etc.
Previously, option default values were handled by initializing them in
external code before creating a parser. This initialization was done
with constants even for dynamically-allocated types like strings.
Because trying to free a pointer to a constant would cause a crash
when trying to replace the default with another value, parser
initialization code then replaced all the original defaults with
dynamically-allocated copies. This replace-with-copy behavior is no
longer supported for new-style options; instead the option definition
itself may contain a default value (new OPTDEF macros), and the new
function m_config_initialize() is used to set all options to their
default values. Convert the existing initialized dynamically allocated
options in main config (the string options --dumpfile, --term-osd-esc,
--input=conf) to use this. Other non-dynamic ones could be later
converted to use this style of initialization too.
There's currently no public call to free all dynamically allocated
options in a given option struct because I intend to use talloc
functionality for that (make them children of the struct and free with
it).
Handle -v flags as a special case in command line preparsing stage,
and change the option entry into a dummy one. Specifying "v" in config
file no longer works (and the dummy entry shows an error in this
case); "msglevel" can still be used for that purpose. Because the flag
is now interpreted at an earlier parsing stage, it now affects the
printing of some early messages that were only affected by the
MPLAYER_VERBOSE environment variable before.
The main motivation for this change is to get rid of the last
CONF_TYPE_FUNC option.
Add option --cursor-autohide-delay to control the number of milliseconds
with no user interaction before the mouse cursor is hidden.
There are two negative values with useful special meanings:
* A value of -1 prevents the cursor from hiding (useful for users
with multiple displays).
* A value of -2 prevents the cursor from showing upon activity.
The default is 1 second to keep the behaviour consistent with the
past X11 backend implementation.
Remove the vo_mouse_autohide field as it was always true.
Remove the old EDL implementation that was activated with the --edl
option. It is mostly redundant and inferior compared to the newer
demux_edl support, though currently there's no support for using the
same EDL files with the new implementation and the mute functionality
of the old implementation is not supported. The main reason to remove
the old implementation at this point is that the mute functionality
would conflict with following audio volume handling changes, and
working on the old code would be a wasted effort in the long run as at
some point it would be removed anyway.
The --edlout functionality is kept for now, even though after this
commit there is no code that could directly read its output.
This adds the --screenshot-template option, which specifies a template
for the filename used for a screenshot. The '%' character is parsed as
format specifier. These format specifiers insert metadata into the
filename. For example, '%f' is replaced with the filename of the
currently played file.
The following format specifiers are available:
%n Insert sequence number (padded with 4 zeros), e.g. "0002".
%0Nn Like %n, but pad to N zeros (N = 0 to 9).
%n behaves like %04n.
%#n Like %n, but reset the sequence counter on every screenshot.
(Useful if other parts in the template make the resulting
filename already mostly unique.)
%#0Nn Use %0Nn and %#n at the same time.
%f Insert filename of the currently played video.
%F Like %f, but with stripped file extension ("." and rest).
%p Insert current playback time, in HH:MM:SS format.
%P Like %p, but adds milliseconds: HH:MM:SS.mmmm
%tX Insert the current local date/time, using the date format X.
X is a single letter and is passed to strftime() as "%X".
E.g. "%td" inserts the number of the current day.
%{prop} Insert the value of the slave property 'prop'.
E.g. %{filename} is the same as %f. If the property doesn't
exist or is not available, nothing is inserted, unless a
fallback is specified as in %{prop:fallback text}.
%% Insert the character '%'.
The strings inserted by format specifiers will be checked for
characters not allowed in filenames (including '/' and '\'), and
replaced with the placeholder '_'. (This doesn't happen for text that
was passed with the --screenshot-template option, and allows specifying
a screenshot target directory by prefixing the template with a relative
or absolute path.)
Callign add_step_frame is not necessary, because mplayer always decodes
at least one frame when starting a new file. Calling pause_player is
sufficient, and unlike add_step_frame doesn't play any audio.
libpostproc has been removed from Libav and the library now exists as
a separate project. Because it's not essential, separate it from the
Libav library check and allow compiling without it.
The --paused option will start the player in paused state. That means it
will start out with a still image of the first frame.
This can be useful in combination with --ss to inspect a certain frame.
Caveat: this plays a small bit of audio at the start, which might be
perceived as an annoying artifact. This is because this is implemented
by frame stepping after initialization in order to decode and display
the first video frame.
The default compression setting is 7, which is hopefully a good balance
between speed of compression, and resulting file sizes. The maximum png
compression will be very slow even on fast computers. On the other hand,
the lowest compression setting produces files of several MB size with
normal video resolutions, which should be avoided as well.
The screenshot image file type can now be selected with the
--screenshot-filetype option. The --screenshot-jpeg-quality option
controls the compression setting of the written JPEG image file.
Now the option --term-osd=force will cause mplayer to display all OSD
messages on the terminal, even if there is video.
Possible values for --term-osd:
- auto: use video OSD, or of there's no video, the terminal (default)
- off: always use video for OSD
- force: always use terminal for OSD
-term-osd and --term-osd are equivalent to --term-osd=force. This
changes the meaning of the option, since -term-osd used to enable the
OSD default behavior, i.e. --term-osd=auto.
-noterm-osd has the same effect as --term-osd=off, and is kept for
compatibility.
Implementation note:
The location for the OSD text was shared between the two code paths (it
was in osd_state.osd_text). We can't rely on the fact that the video-OSD
update code normally isn't run when --term-osd is called. When e.g.
panscan is updated, the video OSD code will draw the OSD anyway. This
would sometimes show unwanted OSD text on the video.
Deal with this by putting the current terminal-OSD text in a different
place (in MPContext.terminal_osd_text) to deal with this.
mplayer used to follow the convention of using a single dash ("-help") for
each option. For some reason "--help" was allowed as special case.
mplayer2 introduced a change to allow the more common convention with two
dashes ("--help"). This means that in combination with the old special
case for "--help", "---help" would suddenly be allowed.
Remove this special case.
Some demuxers do not accurately seek to a keyframe before a given
time but instead start too late. This means that precise seeks cannot
work either. Most notably the libavformat mpeg demuxer exhibits this
behavior depending on the file being played (with the internal mpeg
demuxer precise seeks don't work at all). Add new option
--hr-seek-demuxer-offset which can be used as a workaround with such
demuxers. The value of the option is subtracted from the seek target
position given to the demuxer when doing a precise seek.
Something like the OSD menu functionality could be useful. However the
current implementation has several problems and would require a
relatively large amount of work to get into good shape. As far as I
know there are few users of the existing functionality. Nobody is
working on the existing code and keeping it compiling at all while
changing other code would require extra work. So delete the menu code
and some related code elsewhere that's used by nothing else.
Rewrite control of the colorspace and input/output level parameters
used in YUV-RGB conversions, replacing VO-specific suboptions with new
common options and adding configuration support to more cases.
Add new option --colormatrix which selects the colorspace the original
video is assumed to have in YUV->RGB conversions. The default
behavior changes from assuming BT.601 to colorspace autoselection
between BT.601 and BT.709 using a simple heuristic based on video
size. Add new options --colormatrix-input-range and
--colormatrix-output-range which select input YUV and output RGB range.
Disable the previously existing VO-specific colorspace and level
conversion suboptions in vo_gl and vo_vdpau. Remove the
"yuv_colorspace" property and replace it with one named "colormatrix"
and semantics matching the new option. Add new properties matching the
options for level conversion.
Colorspace selection is currently supported by vo_gl, vo_vdpau, vo_xv
and vf_scale, and all can change it at runtime (previously only
vo_vdpau and vo_xv could). vo_vdpau now uses the same conversion
matrix generation as vo_gl instead of libvdpau functionality; the main
functional difference is that the "contrast" equalizer control behaves
somewhat differently (it scales the Y component around 1/2 instead of
around 0, so that contrast 0 makes the image gray rather than black).
vo_xv does not support level conversion. vf_scale supports range
setting for input, but always outputs full-range RGB.
The value of the slave properties is the policy setting used for
conversions. This means they can be set to any value regardless of
whether the current VO supports that value or whether there currently
even is any video. Possibly separate properties could be added to
query the conversion actually used at the moment, if any.
Because the colorspace and level settings are now set with a single
VF/VO control call, the return value of that is no longer used to
signal whether all the settings are actually supported. Instead code
should set all the details it can support, and ignore the rest. The
core will use GET_YUV_COLORSPACE to check which colorspace details
have been set and which not. In other words, the return value for
SET_YUV_COLORSPACE only signals whether any kind of YUV colorspace
conversion handling exists at all, and VOs have to take care to return
the actual state with GET_YUV_COLORSPACE instead.
To be changed in later commits: add missing option documentation.
The last libpostproc major version change from 51 to 52 changed the
type of the "pp_help" symbol from a pointer to help text to the help
text itself. This made --pphelp crash. Change the option definition to
match the new type. This probably makes it crash if compiled against
older libpostproc, but the option is not important enough to try
supporting that (I've seen no reports of the crash, probably people
just don't use the option).
Add functionality to mark options that depend on features disabled at
compile time as disabled rather than not compiling the option
definitions at all. This allows printing a warning about the option
not being available because of a disabled feature, instead of just
"unknown option". Because the option definitions are still compiled
fully, this only works for definitions that do not reference symbols
which are not available if the feature is disabled. Use the new
functionality for options depending on libass.
Add option --ass-vsfilter-aspect-compat and corresponding property
ass_vsfilter_aspect_compat. The setting controls whether to enable the
emulation of traditional VSFilter behavior where subtitles are
stretched if the video is anamorphic (previously always enabled for
native SSA/ASS subtitles). Enabled by default. Add 'V' as a new
default keybinding to toggle the property.
Remove several old options that were deprecated and disabled years ago
and whose only effect now was to show a custom error message about the
option in question being deprecated and then exit. Also remove the -vd
option which was just a stupid joke and never had useful functionality.
Make per-file loop option start from --ss position, not always 0.
Do looping in more cases; before looping was only done when
encountering real end of file, now it also happens for example at
--endpos or --frames limits. Also move the --ss option to the option
struct.
The --ass-force-style option was only applied when the main libass
library handle was created. Thus any per-file option changes later had
no effect. Do the ass_set_style_overrides() call in per-file
initialization instead so that possible changes will be applied. Also
move the option variable to the option struct.
Current libass will crash (usually) if you set style overrides to a
nonempty value, then an empty one. It'll be easier to trigger this bug
after this commit, but the problem is not on mplayer2 side. The fix is
trivial so hopefully there will be a fixed libass soon.
Rework much of the logic related to reading from event sources and
queuing commands. The two biggest architecture changes are:
- The code buffering keycodes in mp_fifo.c is gone. Instead key input
is now immediately fed to input.c and interpreted as commands, and
then the commands are buffered instead.
- mp_input_get_cmd() now always tries to read every available event
from every event source and convert them to (buffered) commands.
Before it would only process new events until one new command became
available.
Some relevant behavior changes:
- Before commands could be lost when stream code called
mp_input_check_interrupt() which read commands (to see if they were
of types that triggered aborts during slow IO tasks) and then threw
them away. This was especially an issue if cache was enabled and slow
to read. Fixed - now it's possible to check whether there are queued
commands which will abort playback of the current file without
throwing other commands away.
- mp_input_check_interrupt() now prints a message if it returns
true. This is especially useful because the failures caused by
aborted stream reads can trigger error messages from other code that
was doing the read; the new message makes it more obvious what the
cause of the subsequent error messages is.
- It's now possible to again avoid making stdin non-blocking (which
caused some issues) without reintroducing extra latency. The change
will be done in a subsequent commit.
- Event sources that do not support select() should now have somewhat
lower latency in certain situations as they will be checked both
before and after select()/sleep in input reading; before the sleep
always happened first even if such sources already had queued
input. Before the key fifo was also handled in this manner (first
key triggered select, but if multiple were read then rest could be
delayed; however in most cases this didn't add latency in practice
as after central code started doing command handling it queried for
further commands with a max sleep time of 0).
- Key fifo limiting is more accurate now: it now counts actual
commands intead of keycodes, and all queued keys are read
immediately from input devices so they can be counted correctly.
- Since keypresses are now interpreted immediately, commands which
change keybindings will no longer affect following keypresses that
have already been read before the command is executed. This should
not be an issue in practice with current keybinding behavior.

Add dummy -shuffle and -noshuffle options so they appear in
-list-options output. These features are not implemented as options;
rather they're features of the command line parser.
Also add the CONF_NOCFG flag to the existing playlist option, which is
a similar placeholder for a command line parser feature.
