The one in msg.c was mistakenly removed with commit e99a37f6.
I didn't actually test the change in ao_sndio.c (but obviously "ap"
shouldn't be static).
Maybe using strings for log levels was a mistake (too broad and too
impractical), so I'm adding numeric log level at least for the receiver
side. This makes it easier to map mpv log levels to other logging
systems.
I'm still too stingy to add a function to set the log level by a numeric
value, though.
The numeric values are not directly mapped to the internal mpv values,
because then almost every file in mpv would have to include the client
API header.
Coalesce this into API version 1.6, since 1.6 was bumped just yesterday.
The API could return partial lines, meaning the message could stop
in the middle of a line, and the next message would have the rest of
it (or just the next part of it). This was a pain for the user, so do
the nasty task of buffering the lines ourselves.
Now only complete lines are sent. To make things even easier for the
API user, don't put multiple lines into a single event, but split them.
The terminal output code needed something similar (inserting a prefix
header on start of each line). To avoid code duplication, this commit
refactors the terminal output so that lines are split in a single
place.
The status line is a bit special; for example it uses special control
codes by design and is not terminated with a newline character in order
to update it on the terminal without scrolling. It's not helpful for
client API users either, and would require special-casing them
(emulating aspects of a terminal?). Also, the status line code is
explicitly disabled on osd.c unless the --terminal option is enabled,
so there was no good way to even enable the status line for the API.
Just pretend that the status line does not exist as far as the client
API is concerned. It won't be sent as MPV_EVENT_LOG_MESSAGE.
So client API users don't have to worry about this specifically.
Also document the overflow case. (Not sure if we really need to do
this; maybe it'd be better not to, since this just adds more noise
to the docs.)
This mechanism originates from MPlayer's way of dealing with blocking
network, but it's still useful. On opening and closing, mpv waits for
network synchronously, and also some obscure commands and use-cases can
lead to such blocking. In these situations, the stream is asynchronously
forced to stop by "interrupting" it.
The old design interrupting I/O was a bit broken: polling with a
callback, instead of actively interrupting it. Change the direction of
this. There is no callback anymore, and the player calls
mp_cancel_trigger() to force the stream to return.
libavformat (via stream_lavf.c) has the old broken design, and fixing it
would require fixing libavformat, which won't happen so quickly. So we
have to keep that part. But everything above the stream layer is
prepared for a better design, and more sophisticated methods than
mp_cancel_test() could be easily introduced.
There's still one problem: commands are still run in the central
playback loop, which we assume can block on I/O in the worst case.
That's not a problem yet, because we simply mark some commands as being
able to stop playback of the current file ("quit" etc.), so input.c
could abort playback as soon as such a command is queued. But there are
also commands abort playback only conditionally, and the logic for that
is in the playback core and thus "unreachable". For example,
"playlist_next" aborts playback only if there's a next file. We don't
want it to always abort playback.
As a quite ugly hack, abort playback only if at least 2 abort commands
are queued - this pretty much happens only if the core is frozen and
doesn't react to input.
The purpose is making accessing the current playlist entry saner when
commands are executed during initialization, termination, or after
playlist navigation commands.
For example, the "playlist_remove current" command will invalidate
playlist->current - but some things still access the playlist entry even
on uninit. Until now, checking stop_play implicitly took care of it, so
it worked, but it was still messy.
Introduce the mpctx->playing field, which points to the current playlist
entry, even if the entry was removed and/or the playlist's current entry
was moved (e.g. due to playlist navigation).
Because that might be a bad idea.
Note that remote playlists still can use any protocol marked with
is_safe and is_network, because the case of http-hosted playlists
containing URLs using other streaming protocols is not unusual.
Loading a playlist with --playlist from a sub-directory added the
playlist's base path twice: one time in the playlist demuxer, and then
again in playlist_parse_file(). The latter function is used only for
--playlist, so it worked when loading the playlist directly.
(This is probably a mess-up when the MPlayer playlist parsers were
replaced with newer code.)

Until now, you had to use --load-unsafe-playlists or --playlist to get
playlists loaded. Change this and always load playlists by default.
This still attempts to reject unsafe URLs. For example, trying to invoke
libavdevice pseudo-demuxer is explicitly prevented. Local paths and any
http links (and some more) are always allowed.
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
This is a simplification, because it lets us use the AVPacket
functions, instead of handling the details manually.
It also allows the libavcodec rawvideo decoder to use reference
counting, so it doesn't have to memcpy() the full image data. The change
in av_common.c enables this.
This change is somewhat risky, because we rely on the following AVPacket
implementation details and assumptions:
- av_packet_ref() doesn't access the input padding, and just copies the
data. By the API, AVPacket is always padded, and we violate this. The
lavc implementation would have to go out of its way to make this a
real problem, though.
- We hope that the way we make the AVPacket refcountable in av_common.c
is actually supported API-usage. It's hard to tell whether it is.
Of course we still use our own "old" demux_packet struct, just so that
libav* API usage is somewhat isolated.
We already redirect all terminal output through our own wrappers (for
the sake of UTF-8), so we might as well use it to handle ANSI escape
codes.
This also changes behavior on UNIX: we don't retrieve some escape codes
per terminfo anymore, and just hardcode them. Every terminal should
understand them.
The advantage is that we can pretend to have a real terminal in the
normal player code, and Windows atrocities are locked away in glue
code.
Use OPT_KEYVALUELIST() for all places where AVOptions are directly set
from mpv command line options. This allows escaping values, better
diagnostics (also no more "pal"), and somehow reduces code size.
Remove the old crappy option parser (av_opts.c).
Almost nothing was left of it.
The only thing this commit actually removes is support for reading
input commands from stdin. But you can emulate this via:
--input-file=/dev/stdin --input-terminal=no
However, this won't work on Windows. Just use a named pipe.
Currently entries are added after the current playlist element. This is kinda
confusing, more so given that "loadfile append" appends at the end of the
playlist.
Not all compilers on all platforms have atomics available (even if they
could, technically speaking).
We don't use atomics that much, only the following things rely on it:
1. the audio pull code, and all audio outputs using it
2. updating global msg levels
3. reading log messages through the client API
Just disable 1. and 3. if atomics are not available. For 2., using fake-
atomics isn't too bad; at worst, message levels won't properly update
under certain situations (but most likely, it will work just fine).
This means if atomics are not available, the client API function
mpv_request_log_messages() will do nothing.

(Again.)
This time, we simply make it event-based, as it should be. This is done
for both demuxer metadata and stream metadata.
For some ogg-over-icy streams, 2 updates are reported on stream start.
This is because libavformat reports an update right on start, while
including the same info in the "static" metadata. I don't know if that's
a bug or a feature.
Unfortunately, there's a recursive function call in ao_lavc.c (play
function), leading to a deadlock. The locking is getting a bit messy, so
just make the lock recursive.
This fixes#844.
While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
Listening on messages currently uses polling (every time
mpv_wait_event() has no new events, the message buffer is polled and a
message event is possibly created). Improve this situation a bit, and
call the user-supplied wakeup callback.
This will increase the frequency with which the wakeup callback is
called, but the client is already supposed to be able to deal with this
situation. Also, as before, calling mpv_wait_event() from the wakeup
callback is forbidden, so the client can't read new messages from the
callback directly.
The wakeup pipe is written either. Since the wakeup pipe is created
lazily, we can't access the pipe handle without creating a race
condition or a deadlock. (This is actually very silly, since in practice
the race condition won't matter, but for now let's keep it clean.)
A playlist_move command that moves an entry onto itself (both arguments
have the same index) should do nothing, but it did something broken. The
underlying reason is that it checks the prev pointer of the entry which
is temporarily removed for moving.
In my opinion, we shouldn't use atomics at all, but ok.
This switches the mpv code to use C11 stdatomic.h, and for compilers
that don't support stdatomic.h yet, we emulate the subset used by mpv
using the builtins commonly provided by gcc and clang.
This supersedes an earlier similar attempt by Kovensky. That attempt
unfortunately relied on a big copypasted freebsd header (which also
depended on much more highly compiler-specific functionality, defined
reserved symbols, etc.), so it had to be NIH'ed.
Some issues:
- C11 says default initialization of atomics "produces a valid state",
but it's not sure whether the stored value is really 0. But we rely on
this.
- I'm pretty sure our use of the __atomic... builtins is/was incorrect.
We don't use atomic load/store intrinsics, and access stuff directly.
- Our wrapper actually does stricter typechecking than the stdatomic.h
implementation by gcc 4.9. We make the atomic types incompatible with
normal types by wrapping them into structs. (The FreeBSD wrapper does
the same.)
- I couldn't test on MinGW.
When writing a video to foo.mp3, the user's intention is clearly to drop
the video stream, and similarly, when writing to foo-%d.png, the
intention is clearly to drop the audio stream. Now, explicit
specification of --no-audio or --no-video is no longer necessary in
these cases.
Use the exact floating point value, instead of a broken integer
constant. The expression calculating the constant probably relied on
undefined behavior, because it left-shifts a negative value.
This also changes the type of the constant to double, which is perfectly
fine, and maybe better than an integer constant.
Make it more suitable for chaining. This means a function formatting a
value to a string using a static buffer can work exactly like
mp_snprintf_append itself.
Also rename it to mp_snprintf_cat, because that's shorter.
Also remove MSGL_SMODE and friends.
Note: The indent in options.rst was added to work around a bug in
ReportLab that causes the PDF manual build to fail.
This used global variables for the asynchronous interrupt callback.
Pick the simple and dumb solution and stuff the callback into
mpv_global. Do this because interrupt checking should also work in the
connect phase, and currently stream creation equates connecting.
Ideally, this would be passed to the stream on creation instead, or
connecting would be separated from creation. But since I don't know yet
which is better, and since moving stream/demuxer into their own thread
is something that will happen later, go with the mpv_global solution.
Not needed anymore. I'm not opposed to having asm, but inline asm is too
much of a pain, and it was planned long ago to eventually get rid fo all
inline asm uses.
For the note, the inline asm use that was removed with the previous
commits was almost worthless. It was confined to video filters, and most
video filtering is now done with libavfilter. Some mpv filters (like
vf_pullup) actually redirect to libavfilter if possible.
If asm is added in the future, it should happen in the form of external
files.
This collects statistics and other things. The option dumps raw data
into a file. A script to visualize this data is included too.
Litter some of the player code with calls that generate these
statistics.
In general, this will be helpful to debug timing dependent issues, such
as A/V sync problems. Normally, one could argue that this is the task of
a real profiler, but then we'd have a hard time to include extra
information like audio/video PTS differences. We could also just
hardcode all statistics collection and processing in the player code,
but then we'd end up with something like mplayer's status line, which
was cluttered and required a centralized approach (i.e. getting the data
to the status line; so it was all in mplayer.c). Some players can
visualize such statistics on OSD, but that sounds even more complicated.
So the approach added with this commit sounds sensible.
The stats-conv.py script is rather primitive at the moment and its
output is semi-ugly. It uses matplotlib, so it could probably be
extended to do a lot, so it's not a dead-end.
This re-allows the previous behaviour of being able to reencode with
metadata removed, which is useful when encoding "inconsistently" tagged
data for a device/player that shows file names when tags are not
present.
These playlist parsers are all what's left from the old mplayer playlist
parsing code. All of it is old code that does little error checking; the
type of C string parsing code that gives you nightmare.
Some playlist parsers have been rewritten and are located in
demux_playlist.c. The removed formats were not reimplemented. ASX and
SMIL use XML, and since we don't want to depend on a full blown XML
parser, this is not so easy. Possibly these formats could be supported
by writing a very primitive XML-like lexer, which would lead to success
with most real world files, but I haven't attempted that. As for NSC, I
couldn't find any URL that worked with MPlayer, and in general this
formats seems to be more than dead.
Move playlist_parse_file() to playlist.c. It's pretty small now, and
basically just opens a stream and a demuxer. No use keeping
playlist_parser.c just for this.
Since the AO will run in a thread, and there's lots of shared state with
encoding, we have to add locking.
One case this doesn't handle correctly are the encode_lavc_available()
calls in ao_lavc.c and vo_lavc.c. They don't do much (and usually only
to protect against doing --ao=lavc with normal playback), and changing
it would be a bit messy. So just leave them.
