This was needlessly complicated and prone to breakage, because even the
references to the ring buffer could end up getting invalidated and
containing garbage data on e.g. shader cache flush. For much the same
reason why we can't keep around the *timer_pool, we're also forced to
hard-copy the entire sample buffer per pass per frame.
Not a huge deal, though. This is, what, a few kB per frame? We have more
pressing CPU performance concerns anyway.
Also simplified/fixed some other code.
Ever since the mp_aframe change, audio mid-stream format changes crash.
I have no idea why the recent mp_aframe change triggers this. Didn't
look too deeply into it either. It appears to work now, though.
Fixes#4828.
Mouse wheel bindings have always been a cause of user confusion.
Previously, on Wayland and macOS, precise touchpads would generate AXIS
keycodes and notched mouse wheels would generate mouse button keycodes.
On Windows, both types of device would generate AXIS keycodes and on
X11, both types of device would generate mouse button keycodes. This
made it pretty difficult for users to modify their mouse-wheel bindings,
since it differed between platforms and in some cases, between devices.
To make it more confusing, the keycodes used on Windows were changed in
18a45a42d5 without a deprecation period or adequate communication to
users.
This change aims to make mouse wheel binds less confusing. Both the
mouse button and AXIS keycodes are now deprecated aliases of the new
WHEEL keycodes. This will technically break input configs on Wayland and
macOS that assign different commands to precise and non-precise scroll
events, but this is probably uncommon (if anyone does it at all) and I
think it's a fair tradeoff for finally fixing mouse wheel-related
confusion on other platforms.
mpv's mouse button numbering is based on X11 button numbering, which
allows for an arbitrary number of buttons and includes mouse wheel input
as buttons 3-6. This button numbering was used throughout the codebase
and exposed in input.conf, and it was difficult to remember which
physical button each number actually referred to and which referred to
the scroll wheel.
In practice, PC mice only have between two and five buttons and one or
two scroll wheel axes, which are more or less in the same location and
have more or less the same function. This allows us to use names to
refer to the buttons instead of numbers, which makes input.conf syntax a
lot easier to remember. It also makes the syntax robust to changes in
mpv's underlying numbering. The old MOUSE_BTNx names are still
understood as deprecated aliases of the named buttons.
This changes both the input.conf syntax and the MP_MOUSE_BTNx symbols in
the codebase, since I think both would benefit from using names over
numbers, especially since some platforms don't use X11 button numbering
and handle different mouse buttons in different windowing system events.
This also makes the names shorter, since otherwise they would be pretty
long, and it removes the high-numbered MOUSE_BTNx_DBL names, since they
weren't used.
Names are the same as used in Qt:

Commit 03cf150ff3 accidentally dropped these. Readd them in a simpler
way (so only a property_osd_display[] entry is enough). This commit
doesn't actually touch the video equalizer properties, because the
default value of 0 for the marker is what they require anyway.
This removes all GPL only code from it, and that's the whole purpose.
Also happens to be much simpler.
The "deinterlace" option still sort of exists, but only as runtime
changeable option. The main change in behavior is that the property will
not report back the actual deint state. Or in other words, if inserting
or initializing the filter fails, the deinterlace property will still
return "yes". This is in line with most recent behavior changes to
properties and options.
I really wouldn't care much about this, but some parts of the core code
are under HAVE_GPL, so there's some need to get rid of it. Simply turn
the video equalizer from its current fine-grained handling with vf/vo
fallbacks into global options. This makes updating them much simpler.
This removes any possibility of applying video equalizers in filters,
which affects vf_scale, and the previously removed vf_eq. Not a big
loss, since the preferred VOs have this builtin.
Remove video equalizer handling from vo_direct3d, vo_sdl, vo_vaapi, and
vo_xv. I'm not going to waste my time on these legacy VOs.
vo.eq_opts_cache exists _only_ to send a VOCTRL_SET_EQUALIZER, which
exists _only_ to trigger a redraw. This seems silly, but for now I feel
like this is less of a pain. The rest of the equalizer using code is
self-updating.
See commit 96b906a51d for how some video equalizer code was GPL only.
Some command line option names and ranges can probably be traced back to
a GPL only committer, but we don't consider these copyrightable.
So far, we had a thread-safe way to read options, but no option update
notification mechanism. Everything was funneled though the main thread's
central mp_option_change_callback() function. For example, if the
panscan options were changed, the function called vo_control() with
VOCTRL_SET_PANSCAN to manually notify the VO thread of updates. This
worked, but's pretty inconvenient. Most of these problems come from the
fact that MPlayer was written as a single-threaded program.
This commit works towards a more flexible mechanism. It adds an update
callback to m_config_cache (the thing that is already used for
thread-safe access of global options).
This alone would still be rather inconvenient, at least in context of
VOs. Add another mechanism on top of it that uses mp_dispatch_queue, and
takes care of some annoying synchronization issues. We extend
mp_dispatch_queue itself to make this easier and slightly more
efficient.
As a first application, use this to reimplement certain VO scaling and
renderer options. The update_opts() function translates these to the
"old" VOCTRLs, though.
An annoyingly subtle issue is that m_config_cache's destructor now
releases pending notifications, and must be released before the
associated dispatch queue. Otherwise, it could happen that option
updates during e.g. VO destruction queue or run stale entries, which is
not expected.
Rather untested. The singly-linked list code in dispatch.c is probably
buggy, and I bet some aspects about synchronization are not entirely
sane.
This is pretty pointless, but I believe it allows us to claim that the
new code is not affected by the copyright of the old code. This is
needed, because the original mp_audio struct was written by someone who
has disagreed with LGPL relicensing (it was called af_data at the time,
and was defined in af.h).
The "GPL'ed" struct contents that surive are pretty trivial: just the
data pointer, and some metadata like the format, samplerate, etc. - but
at least in this case, any new code would be extremely similar anyway,
and I'm not really sure whether it's OK to claim different copyright. So
what we do is we just use AVFrame (which of course is LGPL with 100%
certainty), and add some accessors around it to adapt it to mpv
conventions.
Also, this gets rid of some annoying conventions of mp_audio, like the
struct fields that require using an accessor to write to them anyway.
For the most part, this change is only dumb replacements of mp_audio
related functions and fields. One minor actual change is that you can't
allocate the new type on the stack anymore.
Some code still uses mp_audio. All audio filter code will be deleted, so
it makes no sense to convert this code. (Audio filters which are LGPL
and which we keep will have to be ported to a new filter infrastructure
anyway.) player/audio.c uses it because it interacts with the old filter
code. push.c has some complex use of mp_audio and mp_audio_buffer, but
this and pull.c will most likely be rewritten to do something else.
Refresh seeks are automatically issued when changing filters, which
improves user experience if these filters change buffering or such.
The refresh seek could actually overwrite a previously ongoing seek:
set pause yes
set time-pos 10
set vf ""
Here, the video code issued a refresh seek to the previous video
position, which could be different from the previously triggered (and
still ongoing) seek, this overwriting the seek.
Factor all refresh seek handling into a new function, and make it handle
ongoing seeks correctly.
Remove the weird new canonical_pts field, which actually had no use.
Fixes#4757.
Commit f1d161d55f accidentally added the handle_force_window() call if
no track is selected.
This was OK, but breaks something like "mpv *", where some files are not
playable (like subtitle files) - the unplayable files would remove and
recreate the VO window, which is annoying.
Just drop the call again.
This oddly triggers bogus EOF when switching filter graphs between two
audio files (in this case, "[vid1]f[vo];[aid2]f[ao]"->"[aid1]f[ao]",
with aid2 being an external audio source).
This commit also fixes desync when seeking with an external file
connected via --lavfi-complex.
(Yes, the audio resync code is cursed.)
Tends to be somewhat glitchy if subtitles are enabled, and you enable
and disable tracks.
On error, this will disable --lavfi-complex, which will result in
whatever behavior.
Commit 0e0b87b6f3 fixed that dropped packets did not trigger further
work correctly. But it also made trivial --lavfi-complex freeze. The
reason is that the meaning if DATA_AGAIN was overloaded: the decoders
meant that they should be called again, while lavfi.c meant that other
outputs needed to be checked again. Rename the latter meaning to
DATA_STARVE, which means that the current input will deliver no more
data, until "other" work has been done (like reading other outputs, or
feeding input).
The decoders never return DATA_STARVE, because they don't get input from
the player core (instead, they get it from the demuxer directly, which
is why they still can return DATA_WAIT).
Also document the DATA_* semantics in the enum.
Fixes#4746.
Just the audio resync code in its normal state: buggy. This time,
AD_NO_PROGRESS was handled about the same as AD_WAIT. But it means the
decoder didn't output data, even though input is still readily
available.
This happened in particular when the timeline code was used (potentially
skipping many packets), and thus should fix#4688.
Fixes#4626. Previously removed because the original smi entry was added
by someone who did not agree to LGPL relicensing. I'm not sure if the
original change was copyrightable, but this commit for sure does not
fall under that author's copyright.
Can be enabled via --vd-lavc-dr=yes. See manpage additions for what it
does.
This reminds of the MPlayer -dr flag, but the implementation is
completely different. It's the same basic concept: letting the decoder
render into a GPU buffer to avoid a copy. Unlike MPlayer, this doesn't
try to go through filters (libavfilter doesn't support this anyway).
Unless a filter can work in-place, DR will be silently disabled. MPlayer
had very complex semantics about buffer types and management (which
apparently nobody ever understood) and weird restrictions that mostly
limited it to mpeg2 style codecs. The mpv code does not do any of this,
and just lets the decoder allocate an arbitrary number of untyped
images. (No MPlayer code was used.)
Parts of the code based on work by atomnuker (starting point for the
generic code) and haasn (some GL definitions, some basic PBO code, and
correct fencing).
It used to use the "encoding" section. Change this to the default
section to remove another small special case. encoding-profiles.conf
didn't use this by default anyway. The previous revert could mitigate
potential impacts of this a little.
This reverts commit 0dcb51c7fa.
I randomly decided that this was better. It can be re-applied once it
actually becomes necessary in some way.
Note that this worked fine. My main gripe with this is that it can
spam the log file with encoding stuff even if playback mode is used.
This is more of a niche usecase than --ytdl-format and --ytdl-raw-options,
so a simple script option should be enough.
Either create lua-settings/ytdl_hook.conf with
'exclude=example.com,sub.example.com' option or
"--script-opts=ytdl_hook-exclude=example.com,sub.example.com"
Remove the various redundant m_config_set_option* calls, rename the
remaining one to m_config_set_option_cli(), and merge the
m_config_parse_option() function.
This replaces `vo-performance` by `vo-passes`, bringing with it a number
of changes and improvements:
1. mpv users can now introspect the vo_opengl passes, which is something
that has been requested multiple times.
2. performance data is now measured per-pass, which helps both
development and debugging.
3. since adding more passes is cheap, we can now report information for
more passes (e.g. the blit pass, and the osd pass). Note: we also
switch to nanosecond scale, to be able to measure these passes
better.
4. `--user-shaders` authors can now describe their own passes, helping
users both identify which user shaders are active at any given time
as well as helping shader authors identify performance issues.
5. the timing data per pass is now exported as a full list of samples,
so projects like Argon-/mpv-stats can immediately read out all of the
samples and render a graph without having to manually poll this
option constantly.
Due to gl_timer's design being complicated (directly reading performance
data would block, so we delay the actual read-back until the next _start
command), it's vital not to conflate different passes that might be
doing different things from one frame to another. To accomplish this,
the actual timers are stored as part of the gl_shader_cache's sc_entry,
which makes them unique for that exact shader.
Starting and stopping the time measurement is easy to unify with the
gl_sc architecture, because the existing API already relies on a
"generate, render, reset" flow, so we can just put timer_start and
timer_stop in sc_generate and sc_reset, respectively.
The ugliest thing about this code is that due to the need to keep pass
information relatively stable in between frames, we need to distinguish
between "new" and "redrawn" frames, which bloats the code somewhat and
also feels hacky and vo_opengl-specific. (But then again, this entire
thing is vo_opengl-specific)
This takes car eof unsubtle bugs if something at init does not work
(specifically if mp_new_client() returns NULL). It also removes the need
for that PMP MF hack.
In a bunch of cases, we emulate highly platform specific APIs on a
higher level across all OSes, such as IPC, terminal, subprocess
handling, and more. We have source files for each OS, and they implement
all the same mpv internal API.
Selecting which source file to use on an OS can be tricky, because there
is partially overlapping and emulated APIs (consider Cygwin on Windows).
Add a pick_first_matching_dep() function to make this slightly easier
and more structured.
Also add dummy backends in some cases, to deal with APIs not being
available.
Clarify the Windows dependency identifiers, as these are the most
confusing.
This affects options like --vf or --display-tags. These used a "*"
suffix to match all options starting with a specific name, and handled
the rest in the option parser. Change this to remove the "*" special
case, and require every option parser to declare a list of allowed
suffixes via m_option_type.actions.
The new way is conceptually simpler, because we don't have to account
for the "*" in a bunch of places anymore, and instead everything is
centrally handled in the CLI part of the option parser, where it's
actually needed.
It automatically enables suffixes like -add for a bunch of other
stringlist options.
This makes things like --show-profile=enc-v-h264 just work again.
Currently I don't see a reason why we should not always load the
encoding profiles. Although I guess this used to be different in the
past. (It probably won't take long until I revert this again - seems
like a fight you can't win for some reason.)
Fixes#4551.
These files have all in common that they were fully or mostly taken from
mplayer.c. (mplayer.c was a huge file that contains almost all of the
playback core, until it was split into multiple parts.) This was
probably the hardest part to relicense, because so much code was moved
around all the time.
player/audio.c still does not compile. We'll have to redo audio
filtering. Once that is done, we can probably actually provide an
actual LGPL configure switch.
Here is a relatively detailed list of potential issues:
8d190244: author did not reply, parts were made GPL-only in a previous
commit.
7882ea9b: author could not be reached, but the code is gone. wscript
still has --datadir switch, but I don't think this is relevant to
copyright.
f197efd5: unclear origin, but I consider the code gone anyway (replaced
with generic OSD mechanisms).
8337d9c2: author did not reply, but only the option still exists (under
a different name), other code was removed.
d8fd7131: did not reply. Disabled in a previous commit.
05258251: same author as above. Both fields actually seem to have
vanished (even when tracking renames), so no action taken.
d459e644, 268b2c1a: author did not reply, but we reuse only the options
(with different names and slightly or fully different semantics, and
completely different implementations), so I don't think this is relevant
for copyright.
09e742fe, 17c39c4e: same as above.
e8a173de, bff4b3ee: author could not be reached. The commands were
reworked to properties, and the code outside of the TV code were moved
back to the TV code. So I don't think copyright applies to the current
command.c parts (mp_property_tv_color, mp_property_tv_freq,
mp_property_tv_scan). The TV parts remain GPL.
0810e427: could not be reached. Disabled in a previous commit.
43744a2d: unknown author, but this was replaced by dynamic alloc (if the
change is even copyrightable).
116ca0c7: unknown author; reasoning see input.c relicensing commit.
e7e4d1d8: these semantics still exist, but as generic code, and this
code was fully removed.
f1175cd9: the author of the cited patch is unknown, and upon inspection
it turns out that I was only using the idea to pause the player on EOF,
so I claim it's not copyright relevant.
25affdcc: author could not be reached (yet) - but it's only a function
rename, not copyrightable.
5728504c was committed by Arpi (who agreed), but hints that it might be
by a different author. In fact it seems to be mostly this patch:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2001-November/002041.html
The author did not respond, but it all seems to have been removed later.
It's a terrible mess though. Arpi reverted the A-V sync code at first,
but left the RTC code for a while. The following commits remove these
changes 100%: 14b35442, 7181a091, 31482783, 614f8475, df58e822.
cehoyos did explicitly not agree to LGPL, but was involved in the
following changes:
c99d8fc8: applied a patch and didn't modify it, the original author
agreed.
40ac0d31: author could not be reached, but all code is gone anyway. The
"af" command has a similar function, but works completely different and
actually reuses a mechanism older than this patch.
54350436: applied a patch, but didn't modify it, except for adding a
German translation, which was removed later.
a2dda036: same situation as above
240b743e: this was made GPL-only in a previous commit
7b25afd7: same as above (for now)
kirijua could not be reached, but was a regular patch contributor:
c2c997fd: video equalizer code move; probably not copyrightable. Is GPL
due to Nick anyway.
be54f481: technically, this became the audio track property later. But
all what is left is the fact that you pass a track ID to it, so consider
the original coypright non-relevant.
2f376d1b: this was rewritten in b7052b43, but for now we can afford to
be careful, so this was marked as GPL only in a previous commit.
43844d09: remaining parts in main.c were reverted in a previous commit.
anders has mostly disagreed with the LGPL relicensing. Does not want
libaf to become LGPL, but made some concessions. In particular, he
granted us permission to relicense 4943e9c52c and 242aa6ebd4. We also
consider some of his changes remaining in mpv not relevant for copyright
(such as 735de602 - we won't remove the this option completely). We will
completely remove his other contributions, including the entire audio
filter chain. For now, this stuff is marked as GPL only. The remaining
question is how much code in player/audio.c (based on the former
mplayer.c and dec_audio.c) is under his copyright. I made claims about
this in a previous commit.
Nick(ols) Kurshev, svn username "nick" and "nickols_k", could not be
reached. He had a lot of changes in early MPlayer. It seems all of that
was removed, at least in mpv. His main work, like VIDIX or libswscale
work, does not exist in mpv anymore, but the changes to mplayer.c and
other core parts still deserve attention:
a4119f6b, fb927549, ad3529b8, e11b23dc, 5f2178be, 93c371d5: removed in
b43d67e0, d1628d12, 24ed01fe, df58e822.
0a83c6ec, 104c125e, 4e067f62, aec5dcc8, b587a3d6, f3de6e6b: DR, VAA, and
"tune" stuff was fully removed later on or replaced with other
mechanisms.
340183b0: screenshots were redone later (the VOCTRL was even removed,
with an independent implementation using the same VOCTRL a few years
later), so not relevant anymore. Basically only the 's' shortcut remains
(but not its implementation).
92c5c274, bffd4007, 555c6766: for now marked as GPL only in a previous
commit.
Might contain some trace amounts of "michael"'s copyright, who agreed to
LGPL only once the core is relicensed. This will still be respected, but
I don't think it matters at this in this case. (Some code touched by him
was merged into mplayer.c, and then disappeared after heavy
refactoring.)
I tried to be as careful and as complete as possible. It can't be
excluded that amends to this will be made later.
This does not make the player LGPL yet.
"anders" has not agreed to relicense most of his changes (although he
gave permission for 4943e9c52c and 242aa6ebd4).
Note that commit 3053a8b7f is in part also affected. The commit message
hides this, but it seems some code was based on anders':
http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2002-October/011773.html
Much of the final commit was by Arpi, but it's still grating that there
was no proper attribution (and in a case that turned out to be so
important).
This means player/audio.c won't even compile (and other parts of the
player also use audio/audio.h, which is still GPL). But whether the end
result compiles doesn't matter for copyright.
Due to the heavy refactoring applied over the year, the boundaries are
rather fuzzy and also somewhat arbitrary, though.
Most of this code will have to be replaced with a new filter chain
later.
I think the idea is that you can pass multiple help options on the
command line, and it will print them all, instead of printing only the
first one and exiting. This was added in commit 43844d09, but the patch
author could not be reached. Revert it, as it's not a critical feature.
This was added in 0810e4275. The patch author did not reply (yet). Not
sure if copyrightable, but I'm making the still existing C part GPL-only
for now (in a previous commit).
Commit d8fd7131 changes this. "tibcu" did not reply. While I'm not sure
whether copyrightable code remains, I'd tend towards saying yes (the
basic idea is still intact after years of refactoring), so make it
GPL-only for now.
Nick and kiriuja could not be reached, and created/changed this in
92c5c274, 6441a5ad, bffd4007, 555c6766, c2c997fd. The video equalizer
stuff was redone fully later, but there are still parts that look too
similar and basically use the same approach. I'm more comfortable with
declaring it GPL only for now.
I plan to redo them later in a way that will remove copyright.
cehoyos has not agreed to the LGPL relicensing. He added the deinterlace
property in commit 7b25afd7. Make it GPL-only for now. The still working
parts of the --deinterlace option are not affected by his copyright.
