This VO is special because it normally doesn't block on vsync, but can
be made to do so. Supposedly the MMAL video output API merely sets a
"current frame" field when sending an output frame, and the firmware
will pick up whatever frame that field is set to at the time of a
vsync.
If this mode is enabled, the player tries to strictly synchronize video
to display refresh. It will adjust playback speed to match the display,
so if you play 23.976 fps video on a 24 Hz screen, playback speed is
increased by approximately 1/1000. Audio wll be resampled to keep up
with playback.
This is different from the default sync mode, which will sync video to
audio, with the consequence that video might skip or repeat a frame once
in a while to make video keep up with audio.
This is still unpolished. There are some major problems as well; in
particular, mkv VFR files won't work well. The reason is that Matroska
is terrible and rounds timestamps to milliseconds. This makes it rather
hard to guess the framerate of a section of video that is playing. We
could probably fix this by just accepting jittery timestamps (instead
of explicitly disabling the sync code in this case), but I'm not ready
to accept such a solution yet.
Another issue is that we are extremely reliant on OS video and audio
APIs working in an expected manner, which of course is not too often
the case. Consequently, the new sync mode is a bit fragile.
For video sync, we want separate playback speed controls for user-
requested speed and the "correction" speed for video timing. Further, we
use this separation to make sure only a resampler is inserted if
playback speed is only changed for video sync correction.
As of this commit, this is basically inactive code. It's just
preparation for the video sync code (the following commit).
Additionally to taking the average, this tries to use the demuxer FPS to
eliminate jitter, and applies some other heuristics to check if the
result is sane.
This code will also be used for the display sync code (it will actually
make use of the require_exact parameter).
(The value of doing this over keeping the simpler demux_mkv hack is
somewhat questionable. But at least it allows us to deal with other
container formats that use jittery timestamps, such as mp4 remuxed
from mkv.)
This doesn't work too well if sections of the file change to a different
framerate. It lowers our chances to guess the correct FPS in the display
sync code.
For normal playback, this (probably) doesn't help that much anyway,
except that the "estimated-vf-fps" property will regress in the simplest
mkv case. This will be fixed with the next commit.
The now disabled code will probably be removed; it's not useful anymore.
While the "old" libavcodec vdpau API is not deprecated (only the very-
old API is), it's still relatively complicated code that badly
duplicates the much simpler newer vdpau code. It exists only for the
sake of older FFmpeg releases; get rid of it.
Lua script that enables handling of certain commands depending on where
the mouse pointer is. Mostly useful for mouse-wheel handling via
input.conf.
Example:
MOUSE_BTN3 script-message-to zones commands "*-left: add volume +5"
"default: seek +10"
MOUSE_BTN4 script-message-to zones commands "*-left: add volume -5"
"default: seek -10"
Will changes behavior of Mouse Wheel Up/Down to alter volume if mouse is
in the left zone of the window, but re-adds the default to seek if wheel
is used on other parts.
Since we're on the topic of consistency, I've seen multiple users
complain about the presence of this period, which does not really match
other programs' behavior.
As the removed comment says, not copying this field may cause problems
on older libav* releases. See also commit 5f7de399.
Remove this, as newer FFmpeg releases are available. As of this commit,
use of mpv with FFmpeg 2.5.x and below, or Libav 11 and below is not
recommended, and may lead to random video decoding issues. (Although the
failure cases are apparently somewhat obscure.)
Removes some more internal API calls from the Lua scripting backend.
Which is good, because ideally the scripting backend would use libmpv
functions only.
One awkwardness is that mouse sections are still not supported by the
public commands (and probably will never), so flags like allow-hide-
cursor make no sense to an outside user.
Also, the way flags are passed to the Lua function changes. But that's
ok, because they're only undocumented internal functions, and not
supposed to be used by script users. osc.lua only does due to historical
reasons.
This was requested. It was more or less present internally already and
used for Lua scripting. Lua will switch to the "public" functions in
the following commits.
Add --demuxer-max-packets and --demuxer-max-bytes, which control the
maximum size of the packet queue. These can be helpful to avoid
excessive memory usage.
Memory usage is the reason why there's a limit in the first place. If a
file is more or less broken, and audio and video don't line up, the
decoders will fill up the packet queue trying to read more audio or
video, and the maximum sizes are required to avoid unbounded memory
allocation. Being able to override the maximum sizes is useful; either
for restricting memory usage further, or enlarging the sizes when
attempting to play various broken files.
Remove --demuxer-readahead-packets and --demuxer-readahead-bytes. These
were a bit useless. They could force a minimum packet queue size, but
controlling the queue size with --demuxer-readahead-secs is much nicer.
It's fairly certain nobody ever used these options.
Also add a note that you should not use the old build system. (It's only
kept because of the "asshole maintainer" rule: no matter how broken or
pointless someting is, as long as you're the maintainer and want to keep
it, it stays in the repo.)
VDA is being deprecated in OS X 10.11 so this is needed to keep hwdec working.
The code needs libavcodec support which was added recently (to FFmpeg git,
libav doesn't support it).

Pretty stupid: vo_get_vsync_interval() returns a negative value if the
display FPS is unknown (e.g. xrandr not compiled), and the comparison
whether the value is below 0 fails later because it's assigned to an
unsigned int.
Regression since commit e3d85ad4.
Also, fix some comments in vo.c.
Some charsets can look like valid UTF-8, but aren't UTF-8. One example
is ISO-2022-JP. While ENCA apparently likes to get misdetect real UTF-8,
this is not the case with uchardet. uchardet can detect ISO-2022-JP
correctly, but didn't even get to try, because our own UTF-8 check
succeeded. So run the UTF-8 check when using ENCA only.
Fixes#2195.
Now it can always be read. Normally returns the value of the video-
aspect option. Writing it sets the option. If the aspect is not forced,
it will attempt to return whatever is the current video aspect.
That just makes no sense, but seems to be a somewhat common user error.
The detection is not perfect. It's conceivable that EXT-X-... headers
are used in normal m3u playlists. After all, HLS playlists are by
definition a compatible extension to m3u playlists, as stupid as it
sounds.
Drop d for toggling framedrop. Toggling this is way too special to be at
such a prominent place, and in fact I believe toggling it is pointless.
Remap deinterlacing from D to d. It's relatively useful and non-
destructive.
As suggested in #973 (almost).
Instead of opening a stream and then a demuxer, do both at once with
demux_open_url().
This requires some awkward additions to demuxer_params, because there
are some weird features associated with opening the main file. E.g. the
relatively useless --stream-capture features requires enabling capturing
on the stream before the demuxer is opened, but on the other hand
shouldn't be done on secondary files like external subtitles.
Also relatively bad: since demux_open_url() returns just a demuxer
pointer or NULL, additional error reporting is done via demuxer_params.
Still, at least conceptually, it's ok, and simpler than before.
Nobody wanted to restore this, so it gets the boot.
If anyone still wants to volunteer to restore menu support, this would
be welcome. (I might even try it myself if I feel masochistic and like
wasting a lot of time for nothing.) But if it does get restored, it
should be done differently. There were many stupid things about how it
was done. For example, it somehow tried to pull mp_nav_events through
all the layers (including needing to "buffer" them in the demuxer),
which was needlessly complicated. It could be done simpler.
This code was already inactive, so this commit actually changes nothing.
Also keep in mind that normal DVD/BD playback still works.
Normally when there's a timestamp reset, we make audio resync to make
sure audio and video line up (again). But in video-only mode, just
setting audio to resyncing breaks EOF detection, because there's no code
which would get audio_status out of this bogus state.
When full_redraw is set, we always need to take the draw_image path. If
it's not set, we can try VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME (and fallback to draw_image
if that fails).
Fixes#2184.
Commit c5818046 fixed one case of audio EOF handling, and caused a new
one. This time, the ao_buffer doesn't actually contain everyting that
should be played - because if --end is used, only a part of it is
played. Of course this is stupid, and it will be changed later. For now,
this smaller change fixes the bug.
Fixes#2189.
The jpeg-optimize and jpeg-baseline options were undocumented, and
they're also pretty useless. There's no reason to ever change them.
Also, don't write jpeg baseline images. This just makes compression
worse for the sake of rather questionable compatibility with ancient
decoders.
For now, it needs to be explicitly selected. ENCA is still the default.
This assumes uchardet returns iconv names. This doesn't seem to be
always the case, and the result are lots of iconv errors. So
explicitly check for this situation, and print a warning if it
occurs. It's entirely possible that uchardet support is actually
useless, because names are not necessarily iconv-compatible (but
uchardet doesn't seem to document whether it attempts to return
iconv-compatible names if possible).
Fixes#908.
