This was overlooked with commit 32a898f, because OSS4 volume control is
typically not available on Linux. BSD does have this feature, so the
broken code broke compilation there.
Fixes crashes when playing with certain numbers of channels. The core
assumes AOs accept data aligned on channels * samplesize, and ao_jack's
play() function broke that assumption:
mpv: core/mplayer.c:2348: fill_audio_out_buffers: Assertion `played % unitsize == 0' failed.
Fix by aligning the buffer and chunk sizes as needed.
GetTimer() is generally replaced with mp_time_us(). Both calls return
microseconds, but the latter uses int64_t, us defined to never wrap,
and never returns 0 or negative values.
GetTimerMS() has no direct replacement. Instead the other functions are
used.
For some code, switch to mp_time_sec(), which returns the time as double
float value in seconds. The returned time is offset to program start
time, so there is enough precision left to deliver microsecond
resolution for at least 100 years. Unless it's casted to a float
(or the CPU reduces precision), which is why we still use mp_time_us()
out of paranoia in places where precision is clearly needed.
Always switch to the correct time. The whole point of the new timer
calls is that they don't wrap, and storing microseconds in unsigned int
variables would negate this.
In some cases, remove wrap-around handling for time values.
The ALSA device was not closed when initialization failed.
The ALSA error handler (set with snd_lib_error_set_handler()) was not
unset when closing ao_alsa. If this is not done, the handler will still
be called when other libraries using ALSA cause errors, even though
ao_alsa was long closed. Since these messages were prefixed with
"[AO_ALSA]", they were misleading and implying ao_alsa was still used.
For some reason, our error handler is still called even after doing
snd_lib_error_set_handler(NULL), which should be impossible. Checking
with the debuggers, inserting printf(), as well as the alsa-lib source
code all suggest our error handler should not be called, but it still
happens. It's a complete mystery.
It turns out that ALSA's 4 channel layout is different from mpv's and
ffmpeg's 4.0 layout. Thus trying to do 4 channel output led to incorrect
remixing via lib{av,sw}resample.
Fix the default layouts for the internal filter chain as well, although
I'm not sure if it matters at all.
The snd_pcm_hw_params_test_format() call actually crashes in alsa-lib if
called with SND_PCM_FORMAT_UNKNOWN, so the already existing fallback
code won't work in this case.
Make all AOs use what has been introduced in the previous commit.
Note that even AOs which can handle all possible layouts (like ao_null)
use the new functions. This might be important if in the future
ao_select_champ() possibly honors global user options about downmixing
and so on.
The point is selecting a minimal fallback. The AOs will call this
through the AO API, so it will be possible to add options affecting
the general channel layout selection.
It provides the following mechanism to AOs:
- forcing the correct channel order
- downmixing to stereo if no layout is available
- allow 5.1 <-> 5.1(side) fallback
- handling "unknown" channel layouts
This is quite weak and lots of code/complexity for little gain. All AOs
already made sure the channel order was correct, and the fallback is of
little value, and could perhaps be done in the frontend instead, like
stereo downmixing with --channels=2 is handled. But I'm not really sure
how this stuff should _really_ work, and the new code will hopefully
provides enough flexibility to make radical changes to channel layout
negotiation easier.
Now mpv's channel map is used to map each channel to a speaker. This
allows in theory for playback of any layout for which ao_openal
actually has a speaker defined. Also add the back-center (BC) speaker,
which allows playback of 6.0 audio. Enabling more layouts by adding
other speakers would be possible, but I'm not sure about the speaker
positions.
This allows supporting 5 channel audio (which can be eother 5.0 or 4.1).
Fallback doesn't work yet. It will do nonsense if the channel layout
doesn't match perfectly, even though it's similar.
Add a CHECK_ALSA_ERROR macro to report ALSA errors. This is similar to
what vo_vdpau does. This removes lots of boiler plate, it almost gives
me the feeling the ao_alsa initialization code is now readable. This
change is squashed with the reformatting, because both changes are
just as noisy and useless.
Like most other AOs, ao_pulse set the channel count only, always using a
default layout. Try to set the exact layout.
For this, we need a big lookup table to map waveex/lavc/mpv speaker
position to PulseAudio's, since PA_CHANNEL_POSITION_ is apparently not
compatible to waveext, and I haven't seen any API functions that would
help mapping them.
Completely untested. (Let's leave that to someone else...)
This actually breaks audio for 5/6/8 channels. There's no reordering
done yet. The actual reordering will be done inside of af_lavrresample
and has to be made part of the format negotiation.
mp_audio has some redundant fields. Setters like mp_audio_set_format()
initialize these properly.
Also move the mp_audio struct to a the file audio.c.
We can remove a mysterious line of code from af.c:
in.format |= af_bits2fmt(in.bps * 8);
I'm not sure if this was ever actually needed, or if it was some kind of
"make it work" quick-fix that works against the way things were supposed
to work. All filters etc. now set the format correctly, so if there ever
was a need for this code, it's definitely gone.
Schedule mpv's playloop as a high frequency timer inside the main Cocoa event
loop. This has the benefit to allow accessing menus as well as resizing the
window without the playback being blocked and allows to remove countless hacks
from the code that involved manually pumping the event loop as well simulating
manually some of the Cocoa default behaviours.
A huge improvement consists in removing NSApplicationLoad. This is a C function
defined in the Cocoa header and implements a minimal OSX application under ther
hood so that you can use the Cocoa GUI toolkit from C/C++ without having to
respect the Cocoa standards in terms of application initialization. This was
bad because the behaviour implemented by NSApplicationLoad was hard to customize
and had several gotchas especially in the menu department.
mpv was changed to be just a nib-less application. All the Cocoa part is still
generated in code but the event handling is now not dissimilar to what is
present in a stock Mac application.
As a part of reviewing the initialization process, I also removed all of
`osdep/macosx_finder_args`. The useful parts of the code were moved to
`osdep/macosx_appication` which has the broaded responsibility of managing the
full lifecycle of the Cocoa application. By consequence the
`--enable-macosx-finder` configure switch was killed as well, as this feature
is always enabled.
Another change the users will notice is that when using a bundle the `--quiet`
option will be inserted much earlier in the initializaion process. This results
in mpv not spamming mpv.log anymore with all the initialization outputs.
Switch the internal channel order to libavcodec's. If the channel number
mismatches at some point, use libavresample for up- or downmixing.
Remove the old af_pan automatic downmixing.
The libavcodec channel order should be equivalent to WAVEFORMATEX order,
at least nowadays. reorder_ch.h assumes that WAVEFORMATEX and libavcodec
might be different, but all defined channels have the same mappings.
Remove the downmixing with af_pan as well as the channel conversion with
af_channels from af.c, and prefer af_lavrresample for this. The
automatic downmixing behavior should be the same as before (if the
--channels option is set to 2, which is the default, the audio output
is forced to 2 channels, and libavresample does all downmixing).
Note that mpv still can't do channel layouts. It will pick the default
channel layout according to the channel count. This will be fixed later
by passing down the channel layout as well.
af_hrtf depends on the order of the input channels, so reorder to ALSA
(for which this code was written). This is better than changing the
filter code, which is more risky.
ao_pulse can accept waveext order directly, so set that as channel
mapping.
Use codec names instead of FourCCs to identify codecs. Rewrite how
codecs are selected and initialized. Now each decoder exports a list
of decoders (and the codec it supports) via add_decoders(). The order
matters, and the first decoder for a given decoder is preferred over
the other decoders. E.g. all ad_mpg123 decoders are preferred over
ad_lavc, because it comes first in the mpcodecs_ad_drivers array.
Likewise, decoders within ad_lavc that are enumerated first by
libavcodec (using av_codec_next()) are preferred. (This is actually
critical to select h264 software decoding by default instead of vdpau.
libavcodec and ffmpeg/avconv use the same method to select decoders by
default, so we hope this is sane.)
The codec names follow libavcodec's codec names as defined by
AVCodecDescriptor.name (see libavcodec/codec_desc.c). Some decoders
have names different from the canonical codec name. The AVCodecDescriptor
API is relatively new, so we need a compatibility layer for older
libavcodec versions for codec names that are referenced internally,
and which are different from the decoder name. (Add a configure check
for that, because checking versions is getting way too messy.)
demux/codec_tags.c is generated from the former codecs.conf (minus
"special" decoders like vdpau, and excluding the mappings that are the
same as the mappings libavformat's exported RIFF tables). It contains
all the mappings from FourCCs to codec name. This is needed for
demux_mkv, demux_mpg, demux_avi and demux_asf. demux_lavf will set the
codec as determined by libavformat, while the other demuxers have to do
this on their own, using the mp_set_audio/video_codec_from_tag()
functions. Note that the sh_audio/video->format members don't uniquely
identify the codec anymore, and sh->codec takes over this role.
Replace the --ac/--vc/--afm/--vfm with new --vd/--ad options, which
provide cover the functionality of the removed switched.
Note: there's no CODECS_FLAG_FLIP flag anymore. This means some obscure
container/video combinations (e.g. the sample Film_200_zygo_pro.mov)
are played flipped. ffplay/avplay doesn't handle this properly either,
so we don't care and blame ffmeg/libav instead.
mpv -ao help and mpv -vo help shouldn't show the encoding outputs (named
"lavc" on both cases). Also make it impossible to select these manually
when not encoding.
On Linux, ao_portaudio has weird freezing issues (possibly specific to
the ALSA backend, though). Also ao_dsound is more likely to get multi-
channel audio output right, and ao_portaudio probably mangles these.
This partially reverts earlier decisions, when I thought it would
always be better to prefer the audio volume filter over the AO's,
because the AO's relies on the underlying audio-API, which could
be broken or exhibit unusual behavior (like it happened with ao_dsound).
However, since the audio buffer can be quite large (500 ms), and we
don't attempt to flush & refilter the audio on volume changes, always
prefer AO volume control (as long as the AO mixer doesn't control the
system mixer).
Also document what the mixer.c related AO fields mean (hopefully not
too brief).
