Rewrite control of the colorspace and input/output level parameters
used in YUV-RGB conversions, replacing VO-specific suboptions with new
common options and adding configuration support to more cases.
Add new option --colormatrix which selects the colorspace the original
video is assumed to have in YUV->RGB conversions. The default
behavior changes from assuming BT.601 to colorspace autoselection
between BT.601 and BT.709 using a simple heuristic based on video
size. Add new options --colormatrix-input-range and
--colormatrix-output-range which select input YUV and output RGB range.
Disable the previously existing VO-specific colorspace and level
conversion suboptions in vo_gl and vo_vdpau. Remove the
"yuv_colorspace" property and replace it with one named "colormatrix"
and semantics matching the new option. Add new properties matching the
options for level conversion.
Colorspace selection is currently supported by vo_gl, vo_vdpau, vo_xv
and vf_scale, and all can change it at runtime (previously only
vo_vdpau and vo_xv could). vo_vdpau now uses the same conversion
matrix generation as vo_gl instead of libvdpau functionality; the main
functional difference is that the "contrast" equalizer control behaves
somewhat differently (it scales the Y component around 1/2 instead of
around 0, so that contrast 0 makes the image gray rather than black).
vo_xv does not support level conversion. vf_scale supports range
setting for input, but always outputs full-range RGB.
The value of the slave properties is the policy setting used for
conversions. This means they can be set to any value regardless of
whether the current VO supports that value or whether there currently
even is any video. Possibly separate properties could be added to
query the conversion actually used at the moment, if any.
Because the colorspace and level settings are now set with a single
VF/VO control call, the return value of that is no longer used to
signal whether all the settings are actually supported. Instead code
should set all the details it can support, and ignore the rest. The
core will use GET_YUV_COLORSPACE to check which colorspace details
have been set and which not. In other words, the return value for
SET_YUV_COLORSPACE only signals whether any kind of YUV colorspace
conversion handling exists at all, and VOs have to take care to return
the actual state with GET_YUV_COLORSPACE instead.
To be changed in later commits: add missing option documentation.
Add option --ass-vsfilter-aspect-compat and corresponding property
ass_vsfilter_aspect_compat. The setting controls whether to enable the
emulation of traditional VSFilter behavior where subtitles are
stretched if the video is anamorphic (previously always enabled for
native SSA/ASS subtitles). Enabled by default. Add 'V' as a new
default keybinding to toggle the property.
Make per-file loop option start from --ss position, not always 0.
Do looping in more cases; before looping was only done when
encountering real end of file, now it also happens for example at
--endpos or --frames limits. Also move the --ss option to the option
struct.
The --ass-force-style option was only applied when the main libass
library handle was created. Thus any per-file option changes later had
no effect. Do the ass_set_style_overrides() call in per-file
initialization instead so that possible changes will be applied. Also
move the option variable to the option struct.
Current libass will crash (usually) if you set style overrides to a
nonempty value, then an empty one. It'll be easier to trigger this bug
after this commit, but the problem is not on mplayer2 side. The fix is
trivial so hopefully there will be a fixed libass soon.
Rework much of the logic related to reading from event sources and
queuing commands. The two biggest architecture changes are:
- The code buffering keycodes in mp_fifo.c is gone. Instead key input
is now immediately fed to input.c and interpreted as commands, and
then the commands are buffered instead.
- mp_input_get_cmd() now always tries to read every available event
from every event source and convert them to (buffered) commands.
Before it would only process new events until one new command became
available.
Some relevant behavior changes:
- Before commands could be lost when stream code called
mp_input_check_interrupt() which read commands (to see if they were
of types that triggered aborts during slow IO tasks) and then threw
them away. This was especially an issue if cache was enabled and slow
to read. Fixed - now it's possible to check whether there are queued
commands which will abort playback of the current file without
throwing other commands away.
- mp_input_check_interrupt() now prints a message if it returns
true. This is especially useful because the failures caused by
aborted stream reads can trigger error messages from other code that
was doing the read; the new message makes it more obvious what the
cause of the subsequent error messages is.
- It's now possible to again avoid making stdin non-blocking (which
caused some issues) without reintroducing extra latency. The change
will be done in a subsequent commit.
- Event sources that do not support select() should now have somewhat
lower latency in certain situations as they will be checked both
before and after select()/sleep in input reading; before the sleep
always happened first even if such sources already had queued
input. Before the key fifo was also handled in this manner (first
key triggered select, but if multiple were read then rest could be
delayed; however in most cases this didn't add latency in practice
as after central code started doing command handling it queried for
further commands with a max sleep time of 0).
- Key fifo limiting is more accurate now: it now counts actual
commands intead of keycodes, and all queued keys are read
immediately from input devices so they can be counted correctly.
- Since keypresses are now interpreted immediately, commands which
change keybindings will no longer affect following keypresses that
have already been read before the command is executed. This should
not be an issue in practice with current keybinding behavior.
There is no reason to use manual language list splitting when an
automatic split function is already available.
Some types change from "unsigned char" to "char", but this shouldn't
cause issues since [as]lang settings are unlikely to have characters
above 127.
Add option -osd-fractions which enables display of fractional seconds
when showing the current playback time on OSD.
Based on a patch from Christian <herr.mitterlehner@gsmpaaiml.com> but
with several modifications.
Add support for seeking to an arbitrary non-keyframe position by
decoding video starting from the previous keyframe. Whether to use
this functionality when seeking is controlled by the new option
-hr-seek and a new third argument to the "seek" command. The default
is to use it for absolute seeks (like chapter seeks) but not for
relative ones. Because there's currently no support for cutting
encoded audio some desync is expected if encoded audio passthrough is
used. Currently precise seeks always go to the first frame with
timestamp equal to or greater than the target position; there's no
support for "matching or earlier" backwards seeks at frame level.
Some Matroska files have inaccurate ordered chapter endpoints, and so
parts where one chapter should end and the next begin at the same
timestamp were not merged. This resulted in an unnecessary seek over a
minimal distance. Add a heuristic to merge parts with a minimal gap or
overlap between them.
Based on patch by Hector Martin <hector@marcansoft.com>.
Add code to enforce matching pts with video when (re)starting the
audio stream, by either cutting away the first samples or inserting
silence at the beginning. New option -noinitial-audio-sync can be used
to disable this and return to old behavior.
If the option is enabled and all audio has been buffered to the AO,
then the player will move to the next file without waiting for the
buffered audio to drain, while leaving the AO initialized. If the
playback of the next file starts quickly enough (before the AO buffer
empties) then it should continue writing audio to the same AO with no
gap in between.
If a specified key is pressed during playback, the current stream is
captured to a file, similar to what -dumpstream achieves.
original patch by Pásztor Szilárd, don tricon hu
Taken from the following svn commits, but with several fixes and
modifications (one obvious user-visible difference is that the default
key binding is 'C', not 'c'):
git-svn-id: svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk@32524 b3059339-0415-0410-9bf9-f77b7e298cf2

The option field corresponding to -slang is now called "sub_lang"
instead of the old misleading global name "dvdsub_lang". The code
handling -slang in subreader.c looks rather broken; disable it instead
of converting it to use the option field.
-chapter can optionally take a range with a start and an end. Add a
new option type which supports such values and use that instead of a
custom per-option function.
This commit also fixes a build configuration bug: before the
availability of the -chapter option depended on DVD functionality
being enabled in the binary, even though the option works with other
sources too.
Add code to intelligently choose an appropriate Matroska edition when
there are several. Will choose, in descending order of preference: the
edition chosen by the user through the option "-edition <edition id>"
if it exists, the first edition with EditionFlagDefault set to 1 if
there is one, or the first edition.
Add a mode where libavcodec's reordered_opaque feature is used to
associate container packet timestamps with decoded frames. This should
improve behavior at least for MPEG files with interlaced h264; the
previous code does not cope well with the libavformat demuxer
producing two field packets with separate timestamps but the
libavcodec h264 decoder only producing a single output frame for those
two packets (so half the timestamps have no associated output frame).
The current libavformat mpeg demuxer seems to finally work with
interlaced h264 files and produce valid timestamps which are useful
with a mode like this.
By default MPlayer now selects between this new mode and the old one
automatically based on the number of timestamp problems they cause; by
default the new mode is used if both seem to work. The new option
-pts-association-mode can be used to force a particular mode. If
correct-pts mode is disabled this has no effect on timing.
Also remove the "EXPERIMENTAL" marker from the manpage description of
-correct-pts.
Disable by default the code that forcefully moved the video output
window to the middle of the screen whenever it was reconfigured or
created. That behavior was really annoying when switching video
streams within a file, and overriding the window manager like that is
not good default behavior for the initial creation of a window either.
Add a new option "-force-window-position" that can be used to restore
the old behavior.
