Options parsing used to be ambiguous, as in the splitting into option
and values pairs was ambiguous. Example:
-option -something
It wasn't clear whether -option actually takes an argument or not. The
string "-something" could either be a separate option, or an argument
to "-option". The code had to call the option specific parser function
to resolve this.
This made everything complicated and didn't even have a real use. There
was only one case where this was actually used: string lists
(m_option_type_string_list) and options based on it. That is because
this option type actually turns a single option into a proxy for several
real arguments, e.g. "vf*" can handle "-vf-add" and "-vf-clr". Options
suffixed with "-clr" are the only options of this group which take no
arguments.
This is ambiguous only with the "old syntax" (as shown above). The "new"
option syntax always puts option name and value into same argument.
(E.g. "--option=--something" or "--option" "--something".)
Simplify the code by making it statically known whether an option takes
a parameter or not with the flag M_OPT_TYPE_OLD_SYNTAX_NO_PARAM. If it's
set, the option parser assumes the option takes no argument.
The only real ambiguity left, string list options that end on "-clr",
are special cased in the parser.
Remove some duplication of the logic in the command line parser by
moving all argument splitting logic into split_opt(). (It's arguable
whether that can be considered code duplication, but now the code is a
bit simpler anyway. This might be subjective.)
Remove the "ambiguous" parameter from all option parsing related code.
Make m_config unaware of the pre-parsing concept.
Make most CONF_NOCFG options also CONF_GLOBAL (except those explicitly
usable as per-file options.)
Summary:
- There is no playtree anymore. It's reduced to a simple list.
- Options are now always global. You can still have per-file options,
but these are optional and require special syntax.
- The slave command pt_step has been removed, and playlist_next
and playlist_prev added. (See etc/input.conf changes.)
This is a user visible incompatible change, and will break slave-mode
applications.
- The pt_clear slave command is renamed to playlist_clear.
- Playtree entries could have multiple files. This is not the case
anymore, and playlist entries have always exactly one entry. Whenever
something adds more than one file (like ASX playlists or dvd:// or
dvdnav:// on the command line), all files are added as separate
playlist entries.
Note that some of the changes are quite deep and violent. Expect
regressions.
The playlist parsing code in particular is of low quality. I didn't try
to improve it, and merely spent to least effort necessary to keep it
somehow working. (Especially ASX playlist handling.)
The playtree code was complicated and bloated. It was also barely used.
Most users don't even know that mplayer manages the playlist as tree,
or how to use it. The most obscure features was probably specifying a
tree on command line (with '{' and '}' to create/close tree nodes). It
filled the player code with complexity and confused users with weird
slave commands like pt_up.
Replace the playtree with a simple flat playlist. Playlist parsers that
actually return trees are changed to append all files to the playlist
pre-order.
It used to be the responsibility of the playtree code to change per-file
config options. Now this is done by the player core, and the playlist
code is free of such details.
Options are not per-file by default anymore. This was a very obscure and
complicated feature that confused even experienced users. Consider the
following command line:
mplayer file1.mkv file2.mkv --no-audio file3.mkv
This will disable the audio for file2.mkv only, because options are
per-file by default. To make the option affect all files, you're
supposed to put it before the first file.
This is bad, because normally you don't need per-file options. They are
very rarely needed, and the only reasonable use cases I can imagine are
use of the encode backend (mplayer encode branch), or for debugging. The
normal use case is made harder, and the feature is perceived as bug.
Even worse, correct usage is hard to explain for users.
Make all options global by default. The position of an option isn't
significant anymore (except for options that compensate each other,
consider --shuffle --no-shuffle).
One other important change is that no options are reset anymore if a
new file is started. If you change settings with slave mode commands,
they will not be changed by playing a new file. (Exceptions include
settings that are too file specific, like audio/subtitle stream
selection.)
There is still some need for per-file options. Debugging and encoding
are use cases that profit from per-file options. Per-file profiles (as
well as per-protocol and per-VO/AO options) need the implementation
related mechanisms to backup and restore options when the playback file
changes.
Simplify the save-slot stuff, which is possible because there is no
hierarchical play tree anymore. Now there's a simple backup field.
Add a way to specify per-file options on command line. Example:
mplayer f1.mkv -o0 --{ -o1 f2.mkv -o2 f3.mkv --} f4.mkv -o3
will have the following options per file set:
f1.mkv, f4.mkv: -o0 -o3
f2.mkv, f3.mkv: -o0 -o3 -o1 -o2
The options --{ and --} start and end per-file options. All files inside
the { } will be affected by the options equally (similar to how global
options and multiple files are handled). When playback of a file starts,
the per-file options are set according to the command line. When
playback ends, the per-file options are restored to the values when
playback started.
MinGW maps the "printf" format string archetype to the non-standard
MSVCRT functions, even if __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO is defined and set
to 1. We need to use "gnu_printf" to use the format strings as provided
by vsnprintf and similar functions to get correct warnings.
Since "gnu_printf" isn't necessarily available on other GCC compatible
compilers (such as clang), do this only on MinGW.
Analogously to the previous commit, move path handling logic for
loading external vobsub files from mplayer.c to find_subfiles.c.
Based on a commit from Clément Bœsch but fixed and simplified.
The contents of mpcommon.c were quite arbitrary; the most common
reason to place some functions in this file had been "MEncoder happens
to need similar code as MPlayer and we want to share some parts, but
we have no clue whatsoever how to organize things in a sensible way,
so we'll just dump those parts we want to share in mpcommon.c". As a
result of containing an essentially random subset of top-level player
functionality the mpcommon.h header required access to central structs
and was unsuitable for inclusion in lower-level code, but was
nonetheless included there for the mplayer_version symbol.
Move almost all contents from mpcommon.c to mplayer.c. mplayer.c is
already big and should perhaps be split further, but keeping a few
random functions in mpcommon.c would not be an improvement.
The string now resides in a central object file instead of
being duplicated in every file that requires a version string.

Instead of only relying on the MIME type, use the file extension as a
fallback for deciding which attachments are fonts and should be fed to
libass.
This also refactors the check into a separate function in mpcommon.

1. Include loader/drv.h for SetCodecPath() instead of a declaration of it.
2. Move codec_path from get_path.h to mpcommon.h and mpcommon.c.

As part of merging subtitle-in-terminal changes make
update_subtitles() only clear existing subtitles if called with the
reset argument, and not try to set new ones. Later calls should set
the needed new subtitles, and this change avoids some problems with
trying to set subtitles when mp_property_sub() in command.c gets
called from initialization code before full initialization.
This fixes a crash with e.g. auto-enabled subtitles and -novideo due to
command.c calling update_subtitles even without video and is a step
toward subtitle support for audio-only files.

Add basic support for Matroska ordered chapters. The switching between
segments is implemented as a general edit timeline that could also be
used for other purposes.
Some things still need improvement. In particular the current code
does not try to do any proper mapping between audio/video/subtitle
streams of different files and there should be options for better
control of how MPlayer searches other files for the required content.
Print CPU information in verbose mode instead of by default.
