In my opinion, we shouldn't use atomics at all, but ok.
This switches the mpv code to use C11 stdatomic.h, and for compilers
that don't support stdatomic.h yet, we emulate the subset used by mpv
using the builtins commonly provided by gcc and clang.
This supersedes an earlier similar attempt by Kovensky. That attempt
unfortunately relied on a big copypasted freebsd header (which also
depended on much more highly compiler-specific functionality, defined
reserved symbols, etc.), so it had to be NIH'ed.
Some issues:
- C11 says default initialization of atomics "produces a valid state",
but it's not sure whether the stored value is really 0. But we rely on
this.
- I'm pretty sure our use of the __atomic... builtins is/was incorrect.
We don't use atomic load/store intrinsics, and access stuff directly.
- Our wrapper actually does stricter typechecking than the stdatomic.h
implementation by gcc 4.9. We make the atomic types incompatible with
normal types by wrapping them into structs. (The FreeBSD wrapper does
the same.)
- I couldn't test on MinGW.
Use the time as returned by mp_time_us() for mpthread_cond_timedwait(),
instead of calculating the struct timespec value based on a timeout.
This (probably) makes it easier to wait for a specific deadline.
This didn't quite work. The main issue was that get_space tries to be
clever to reduce overall buffering, so it will cause the playloop to
decode and queue only as much audio as is needed to refill the AO in
reasonable time. Also, even if ignoring the problem, the logic of the
previous commit was slightly broken. (This required a few retries,
because I couldn't reproduce the issue on my own machine.)
When the audio buffer went low, but could not be refilled yet, it could
happen that the AO playback thread and the decode thread could enter a
wakeup feedback loop, causing up to 100% CPU usage doing nothing. This
happened because the decoder thread would wake up the AO thread when
writing 0 bytes of newly decoded data, and the AO thread in reaction
wakes up the decoder thread after writing 0 bytes to the AO buffer.
Fix this by waking up the decoder thread only if data was actually
played or queued. (This will still cause some redundant wakeups, but
will eventually settle down, reducing CPU usage close to ideal.)
I don't think this is really a very good idea because it is conceptually
incorrect but other prominent multimedia programs use this approach
(VLC and xbmc), and it seems to make the conversion more robust in certain
cases.
For example it has been reported, that configuring a receiver that can output
7.1 to output 5.1, will make CoreAudio report 8 channel descriptions, and the
last 2 descriptions will be tagged kAudioChannelLabel_Unknown.
Fixes#737
The code was falling back to the full waveext chmap_sel when less than 2
channels were detected. This new code is slightly more correct since it only
fills the chmap_sel with the stereo or mono chmap in the fallback case.
CoreAudio supports 3 kinds of layouts: bitmap based, tag based, and speaker
description based (using either channel labels or positional data).
Previously we tried to convert everything to bitmap based channel layouts,
but it turns out description based ones are the most generic and there are
built-in CoreAudio APIs to perform the conversion in this direction.
Moreover description based layouts support waveext extensions (like SDL and
SDR), and are easier to map to mp_chmaps.
Changing --softvol-max and then resuming would change the volume level
on resume to something different than the original volume. This is
because the user volume setting is always between 0-100, and 100
corresponds to --softvol-max gain.
Avoid that changing -softvol-max and resuming an older file could lead
to a too loud volume level by refusing to restore if --softvol-max
changed.
The comment says that it wakes up the main thread if 50% has been
played, but in reality the value was 0.74/2 => 37.5%. Correct this. This
probably changes little, because it's a very fuzzy heuristic in the
first place.
Also move down the min_wait calculation to where it's actually used.
Also remove MSGL_SMODE and friends.
Note: The indent in options.rst was added to work around a bug in
ReportLab that causes the PDF manual build to fail.
This avoids too many realloc() calls if the caller is appending to an
audo buffer. This case is actually quite noticeable when using something
that buffers a large amount of audio.
For some reason, the buffered_audio variable was used to "cache" the
ao_get_delay() result. But I can't really see any reason why this should
be done, and it just seems to complicate everything.
One reason might be that the value should be checked only if the AO
buffers have been recently filled (as otherwise the delay could go low
and trigger an accidental EOF condition), but this didn't work anyway,
since buffered_audio is set from ao_get_delay() anyway at a later point
if it was unset. And in both cases, the value is used _after_ filling
the audio buffers anyway.
Simplify it. Also, move the audio EOF condition to a separate function.
(Note that ao_eof_reached() probably could/should whether the last
ao_play() call had AOPLAY_FINAL_CHUNK set to avoid accidental EOF on
underflows, but for now let's keep the code equivalent.)
This was reported with PulseAudio 2.1. Apparently it still has problems
with reporting the correct delay. Since ao_pulse.c still has our custom
get_delay implementation, there's a possibility that this is our fault,
but this seems unlikely, because it's full of workarounds for issues
like this. It's also possible that this problem doesn't exist on
PulseAudio 5.0 anymore (I didn't explicitly retest it).
The check is general and works for all push based AOs. For pull based
AOs, this can't happen as pull.c implements all the logic correctly.
This should probably be an AO function, but since the playloop still has
some strange stuff (using the buffered_audio variable instead of calling
ao_get_delay() directly), just leave it and make it more explicit.
This collects statistics and other things. The option dumps raw data
into a file. A script to visualize this data is included too.
Litter some of the player code with calls that generate these
statistics.
In general, this will be helpful to debug timing dependent issues, such
as A/V sync problems. Normally, one could argue that this is the task of
a real profiler, but then we'd have a hard time to include extra
information like audio/video PTS differences. We could also just
hardcode all statistics collection and processing in the player code,
but then we'd end up with something like mplayer's status line, which
was cluttered and required a centralized approach (i.e. getting the data
to the status line; so it was all in mplayer.c). Some players can
visualize such statistics on OSD, but that sounds even more complicated.
So the approach added with this commit sounds sensible.
The stats-conv.py script is rather primitive at the moment and its
output is semi-ugly. It uses matplotlib, so it could probably be
extended to do a lot, so it's not a dead-end.
Same change as in e2184fcb, but this time for pull based AOs. This is
slightly controversial, because it will make a fast syscall from e.g.
ao_jack. And according to JackAudio developers, syscalls are evil and
will destroy realtime operation. But I don't think this is an issue at
all.
Still avoid locking a mutex. I'm not sure what jackaudio does in the
worst case - but if they set the jackaudio thread (and only this thread)
to realtime, we might run into deadlock situations due to priority
inversion and such. I'm not quite sure whether this can happen, but I'll
readily follow the cargo cult if it makes hack happy.
I'm not quite sure why ao_pulse needs this. It was broken when a thread
to fill audio buffers was added to AO - the pulseaudio callback was
waking up the playback thread, not the audio thread. But nobody noticed,
so it can't be very important. In any case, this change makes it wake up
the audio thread instead (which in turn wakes up the playback thread if
needed).
And also add a function ao_need_data(), which AO drivers can call if
their audio buffer runs low.
This change intends to make it easier for the playback thread: instead
of making the playback thread calculate a timeout at which the audio
buffer should be refilled, make the push.c audio thread wakeup the core
instead.
ao_need_data() is going to be used by ao_pulse, and we need to
workaround a stupid situation with pulseaudio causing a deadlock because
its callback still holds the internal pulseaudio lock.
For AOs that don't call ao_need_data(), the deadline is calculated by
the buffer fill status and latency, as before.
I hate tabs.
This replaces all tabs in all source files with spaces. The only
exception is old-makefile. The replacement was made by running the
GNU coreutils "expand" command on every file. Since the replacement was
automatic, it's possible that some formatting was destroyed (but perhaps
only if it was assuming that the end of a tab does not correspond to
aligning the end to multiples of 8 spaces).
Also fix a format string mistake in a log call using it.
I wonder if this code shouldn't use FormatMessage, but it looks kind
of involved [1], so: no, thanks.

This was accidentally broken in commit b72ba3f7. I somehow made the
wild assumption that replaygain adjusted the volume relative to 0%
instead of 100%.
The detach suboption was similarly broken.
Set refcounted_frames, because in some versions of libavcodec mixing the
new AVFrame API and non-refcounted decoding could cause memory
corruption. Likewise, it's probably still required to unref a frame
before calling the decoder.
