We've had some serious issues with GNOME in the past, but since then
their compositor has undergone some major internal improvements. The
most severe one [1], random vsync spikes and mistimed frames, can no
longer be reproduced by the original author of the issue. There are some
minor UI-related things (lack of window decorations for instance since
there is no xdg-decoration support), but users don't seem to complain
about that too much and they aren't revelant to playback.
3.38 isn't out quite yet, but that should also fix playback issues when
on a multimonitor setup (the fix is in the master branch at the moment).
In terms of playback, the only real concerning issue is the lack of idle
inhibit so a warning is still displayed. But GNOME has their own
workaround that users can use for that so if anyone happens to complain,
we can just point them to that.

When using presentation time, we have to be sure to update the ust when
no presentation events are received to make sure playback is still
smooth and in sync. Part of the recent presentation time refactor was to
use the presentation discarded event to signal that the window is
hidden. Evidently, this doesn't work the same everywhere for whatever
reason (drivers?? hardware??) and at least one user experienced issues
with playback getting out of sync since (presumably) the discarded event
didn't occur when hiding the window. Instead, let's just go back to the
old way of checking if the last_ust is equal to the ust value of the
last member in the wayland sync queue. Fixes#8010.
The motivation for this change was a segfault caused by e107342 which
has complicated reasons for occuring (i.e. I'm not 100% sure but I think
it is a really weird race). The major part of this commit is moving the
initialization of presentation listener to the frame_callback function.
Calling it in swap_buffers worked fine but in practice it meant a lot of
meaningless function calls if a window was hidden (the presentation
would just be immediately discarded). By calling it in frame_callback,
we ensure the listener is only created when it is possible to receive a
presentation event.
Of course calling the presentation listener in feedback_presented or
feedback_discarded was considered, but ultimately these events are too
slow. Receiving the ust/msc/sbc triplet here and then passing it to mpv
results in higher vsync judder since there is (likely) not enough time
before the next pageflip. By design, the frame callback is meant to give
us as much time as possible before the next repaint so calling it here
is probably optimal.
Additionally, we can make better use of the feedback_discarded event.
The wp_presentation_feedback should not be destroyed here. It will be
taken care of either when we get feedback again or when the player
quits. Instead what we can do is set a bool that tells wayland_sync_swap
to update itself based on mp_time delta. In practice, the result is not
any different than before, but it should be more understandable what is
going on now.
Of course, the segfault mentioned at the beginning is fixed with this as
well.
lua/js utils.get_env_list() uses `environ' which was ANSI, thus
it broke any unicode names/values.
mpv already has an internal utf8_environ for win32, but it's used
only at the getenv(..) wrapper and not exposed in itself, and also it
has lazy initialization - on first getenv() call.
Now `environ' maps to a function which ensures initialization while
keeping it an l-value (like posix expects).
The cost of this fuglyness is that files should include osdep/io.h
(which now declares environ as extern) rather than declaring it
themselves, or else the build will break on mingw.
This was a vague idea how to handle passing byte arrays from Lua to the
mpv command interface in a somewhat reasonable way. The idea was
cancelled, but leave the Lua part of it, since it might get useful
later, and prevents passing (and silently cutting off) such byte
strings.
Barely tested, let's say not tested at all.
Make it possible to feed a string to stdin of a subprocess. Out of
laziness, it can't be an arbitrary byte string. (Would require adding an
option type that takes in a Lua byte string.)
Do not set stdin of a subprocess to fd 0 (i.e. mpv's stdin) anymore,
because it makes things more consistent. Enabling stdin didn't make too
much sense in the first place, so this behavior change seems
justifiable.
win32 support missing.
Fixes: #8003
Such files violate the specification. Unfortunately, I could not test
whether it really works correctly, since I don't have a sample at hand
that is not broken in this regard.
Nothing major but it's technically possible for the
wp_presentation_feedback struct to still be allocated when quitting the
player. Just destroy it if it exists like all of the other wayland
objects.
In a playlist of videos with different sizes, going to the next video
would not properly resize the window. This actually broke way back in
7170910 (oops), but somehow nobody ever complained. The fix is simple.
If a window isn't maximized, be sure to set the window geometry again.
Just some small changes when creating the xdg_surface. Don't set the
toplevel title (or app id) in create_xdg_surface anymore because it's
entirely pointless. Also make it possible for create_xdg_surface to
return something other than 0 so the error checking is somewhat
meaningful. It's not really clear if these xdg functions can even fail
in the first place (perhaps some weird proxy marshalling crap could
possibly go wrong somehow), but it can't hurt. Note that all app id
stuff has been removed (temporarily) in this commit. See the next commit
which adds it back in.
The subtitle list is returned in randomized order, because a table (i.e.
JSON object) is used. To make the order stable across repeated
invocations, sort it by language.
This was incorrect, and grossly misleading. It created the impression
that the buffer is passed to mpv_render_context_create(), instead of
mpv_render_context__render().
(The recommendation is to add the document to the project git root, but
I'm against dumping such things into git. I'd rather replace the
Copyright full text files with links and move contribute.md to the wiki
than add the CCoC text as a file.)
Seems like this is requested all the time.
It seems libass allows out of range values, but does allows the subtitle
to go out of the screen at the bottom (only when moving it to the top
it's "clamped"). Too bad, don't do that then. The bitmap sub rendering
code on the other hand is under our control, and will not move a
subtitle out of the screen.
Fixes: #7986
Options like --sub-ass-force-style and others could not be changed at
runtime (the changes didn't take any effect). Fix this by using the
brutal approach, and completely reinit the subtitle state when this
happens. Maybe a bit clunky, but for now I'd rather not put more effort
into this.
Fixes: #7689
Requested. Should be good for simple use cases. "sub2" is technically
inconsistent (since the option is called --secondary-sid), but fuck the
consistent name.
The same was done to matroska.py before, so at least it's consistent.
Doesn't matter for waf, because it imports this script (rather than
executing it).
This sets the activeCodePage property in the manifest, which forces the
ANSI code page to be UTF-8 in Windows 10 1903 and up. It shouldn't make
a difference for mpv itself, since mpv already uses the wide-char APIs
for most functions, however some of mpv's dependencies, such as Lua,
rely on the ANSI codepage. Hence this change enables support for Unicode
file names in Lua's I/O library.
Thanks @avih for finding this property.

FFmpeg expects those fields to be set on the AVFrame when
encoding audio, not doing so will cause the avcodec_send_frame
call to return EINVAL (at least in recent builds).
Uses the mechanism introduced in the previous commit. The hope was to
make auto-profiles easier to use, and to get rid of the need for
manually created inverse profiles. Not sure if the end result is useful.
Make it possible to restore from profiles by backing up the option
values before profile application. This is sort of like unapplying a
profile. Since there might be multiple ways to do this, a profile needs
to explicitly provide the "profile-restore" option, which specifies how
exactly this should be done.
This is a big mess. There is not natural way to do this. Profile
application is "destructive" and simply changes the values of the
options. Maybe one could argue that the option system should have
hierarchical "overlays" of profiles instead, where unset options will
use the value of the lower profiles. Options set interactively by the
user would be the top profile. Default values would be in the lowest
profile. You could unapply a profile by simply removing it from this
overlay stack.
But uh, let's not, so here's something stupid. It reuses some code used
for file local options to reduce code size. At least the overlay idea
would still be possible in theory, and could be added as another
profile-restore mode.
This is used by the following commit.
The callback now gets an object argument with defer/cont functions.
Like the lua code, the behavior is that each hook event allows at
most one continue, but nothing enforces the order of continuations
if more hook events arrive before prior ones were continued - which
is possible now with the defer option, but wasn't possible before
(continuation was synchronous from the hook event handler).
The property observation mechanism is fairly asynchronous to the player
core, and Lua scripts also are (they run in a separate thread). This may
sometimes lead to profiles being applied when it's too load.
For example, you may want to change network options depending on the
input URL - but most of these options would have to be set before the
HTTP access is made. But it could happen that the profile, and thus the
option, was applied at an slightly but arbitrary later time.
This is generally not fixable. But for the most important use-cases,
such as applying changes before media opening or playback
initialization, we can use some of the defined hooks.
Hooks make it synchronous again, by allowing API users (such as scripts)
to block the core because it continues with loading.
For this we simply don't continue a given hook, until we receive an idle
event, and have applied all changes. The idle event is in general used
to wait for property change notifications to settle down. Some of this
relies on the subtle ways guarantees are (maybe) given. See commit
ba70b150fb for the messy details. I'm not quite sure whether it
actually works, because I can't be bothered to read and understand my
bullshit from half a year ago. Should provide at least some improvement,
though.
This can now opt to not continue a hook after the hook callback returns.
This makes it easier for scripts, and may make it unnecessary to run
reentrant event loops etc. for scripts that want to wait before
continuing while still running the event loop.
This is taken from a somewhat older proof-of-concept script. The basic
idea, and most of the implementation, is still the same. The way the
profiles are actually defined changed.
I still feel bad about this being a Lua script, and running user
expressions as Lua code in a vaguely defined environment, but I guess as
far as balance of effort/maintenance/results goes, this is fine.
It's a bit bloated (the Lua scripting state is at least 150KB or so in
total), so in order to enable this by default, I decided it should
unload itself by default if no auto-profiles are used. (And currently,
it does not actually rescan the profile list if a new config file is
loaded some time later, so the script would do nothing anyway if no auto
profiles were defined.)
This still requires defining inverse profiles for "unapplying" a
profile. Also this is still somewhat racy. Both will probably be
alleviated to some degree in the future.
Sway 1.5 started sending more pointer motion events to mpv which broke
the autohiding behavior. The cursor would appear again if you
fullscreened. Sway had a good reason to do this because certain
applications had inconsistencies between hardware cursor and software
cursor without rebasing on state changes[1]. So mpv needs to take this
special case into consideration.
Initially, simply checking mouse coordinates for changes was considered,
but this doesn't work. All coordinates are surface-local in wayland so
something can appear to move in the local coordinate space but not
globally. You're not allowed to know global mouse coordinates in
wayland, and we don't care about local coordinate changes in mpv so this
approach isn't viable.
Instead, let's just keep track of a local state change. If the toplevel
surface changes in some way (fullscreen, maximized, etc.), then just set
a bool that lets us ignore the mp_input_set_mouse_pos function. This
keeps the cursor from appearing simply because the state was changed
(i.e. fullscreening). For compositors that don't send pointer motion
events on a state change, this does technically mean that the initial
mp_input_set_mouse_pos is never set. In practice, this isn't a
noticeable difference though because moving a mouse generates a ton of
motion events so you'll immediately see it on the second motion event.

wl_display_dispatch is dangerous because it will block forever if the
event queue is empty. Any direct calls to this function should just be
replaced with wl_display_dispatch_pending which accomplishes the same
thing for mpv's purposes without any chance of blocking.
The other potential trap is wl_display_roundtrip. It can internally call
wl_display_dispatch which in certain circumstances could potentially
block. There are cases where we need the server to finish processing
client requests before doing anything else so this can not be cleanly
avoided. The dangerous call is the usage of wl_display_roundtrip in
vo_wayland_wait_frame. In the majority of cases, this shouldn't be a
problem because the previous wl_display_read_events should always queue
up some events on the fd for wl_display_roundtrip to send. However, the
compositor could potentially send us an error in the display queue that
could lead to bad behavior when wl_display_roundtrip is called.
The wl_display_roundtrip can't be removed because we are relying on its
semi-blocking capabilities, but the logic can be slightly adjusted to be
safer. The obvious thing to do is to make sure we check the pollfd for
any errors. If one is returned, then we call wl_display_cancel_read and
try again. The less obvious trick is to call wl_display_dispatch_pending
and move wl_display_roundtrip outside of the blocking + timeout loop.
This change has some subtle but important differences. Previously,
vo_wayland_wait_frame would read an event and wait on the server to
process it one-by-one. With this change, the events are dispatched as
soon as possible to the server and then we wait on all of those
(potentially multiple) events to be processed after we have either
received frame callback or the loop times out.
After that is done, we can then check for if there are any errors on the
display. If it's all clear, we can run wl_display_roundtrip without any
worries. If some error happens, then don't execute the function at all.
the problem here is that with time, and because the macOS VMs don't get
updated, the homebrew update is getting longer since more and more
changes have to be pulled. to prevent that, we cache the homebrew
installation folder after the update. that way we don't have to update
several months worth of updates every build. for the legacy build we
have to check put master again to actually cache the newest homebrew
version.
additionally to that, we also do the same as on the legacy build, with
the addition of not removing all installed formulas but only the ones
we don't need. so we don't need to reinstall those.
just remove all pre installed formulas, since we don't need the majority
of it. after that install what we need. this also fixes the brew update
of those formulas where the source links were broken like popt.
this also helps when the build times out due to building some formulas
from source that are not dependencies we need.
Previously, the compositor was signaled that a drag-and-drop ended with
wl_data_offer_finish in check_dnd_fd. This is, however, erroneous
because it is outside of the data_device_listener and in some cases
caused errors with certain compositors. check_dnd_fd itself does not
need to know or care about anything that happens in wayland. It just
needs to read data from an fd. The simple fix is to just always signal
the end of a drag-and-drop in data_device_handle_drop. check_dnd_fd can
free memory and close the fd later, but it should not talk to the
compositor. Fixes#7954.
The read of the wayland display fd in vo_wayland_wait_events was
incorrect and technically vulnerable to race conditions. The correct
usage as per the client api is to use wl_display_prepare_read as well as
wl_display_read_events.
scaletempo2 is a new audio filter for playing back
audio at modified speed and is based on chromium
commit 51ed77e3f37a9a9b80d6d0a8259e84a8ca635259.
It sounds subjectively better than the existing
implementions scaletempo and rubberband.
