Slightly helps with timeline stuff, like EDL. There is no need to keep
network (or even just disk I/O) busy for all segments at the same time,
because 1. the data won't be needed any time soon, and 2. will probably
be discarded anyway if the stream is seeked when segment is resumed.
Partially fixes#2692.
Prevents channels from being dropped, e.g. when going 7.1 -> 7.1(wide)
and similar cases. The reasoning here is that channel layouts over HDMI
don't work anyway, and not dropping a channel and playing it on a
slightly "wrong" (but expected) speaker is preferable to playing silence
on these speakers.
Do this to remove issues with ao_coreaudio. Frankly I'm not sure whether
our mapping (between CA and mpv/FFmpeg speakers) is correct, but on the
other hand due to the reasons stated above it's not all that meaningful.
demux_lavf.c leaked the complete subtitle data if it was put through
iconv.
lavc_conv.c leaked AVCodecContext.subtitle_header (set by libavcodec),
which is fixed by using avcodec_free_context(). It also leaked the
subtitle that was decoded last.
Eventually we want the VO be driven by a A->V filter, so a decoder
doesn't even have to exist. Some features definitely require a decoder
though (like reporting the decoder in use, hardware decoding, etc.), so
for each thing which accessed d_video, it has to be redecided if and how
it can access decoder state.
At least the "framedrop" property slightly changes semantics: you can
now always set this property, even if no video is active.
Some untested changes in this commit, but our bio-based distributed
test suite has to take care of this.
This moves some code related to decoding from video.c to dec_video.c,
and also removes some accesses to dec_video.c from the filtering code.
dec_video.ch is starting to make sense, and simply returns video frames
from a demuxer stream. The API exposed is also somewhat intended to be
easily changeable to move decoding to a separate thread, if we ever want
this (due to libavcodec already being threaded, I don't see much of a
reason, but it might still be helpful).
Makes the next commit simpler. It's probably a bad idea to add more
fields to the global state, but on the other hand the client API state
is pretty much per-instance anyway. It also will help with things like
the proposed libmpv custom stream API.
The aspect ratio calculations are cached (mainly so that aspect ratio
related messages are not logged on every frame). The cache is not clared
anymore when video filters are reconfigured, but changing the
video-aspect-ratio property relied on it. Make it explicit.
Fixes#2714.
Since the streams are chosen from the full TS by the player frontend,
one should not expect that the program which is shown matches the chosen
channel which was used for tuning to the frequency.
Also, reformulate slightly to simplify reading.
This is labeled as "name of the service in broadcasting (channel name)"
and exported as a generic tag by avformat-demuxers, notably lavf
when handling mpegts-streams from DVB.
The binding is similar to the tv-binding, just with capital letters.
Switching the dvb-channel-name property compared to dvb-channel
means the channel-name is shown on-screen when switching instead of
"dvb-channel (error)" otherwise,
and switching anyways happens without changing the card.
Channel switching is treated inside the global DVB state
by now. Anyways the last switching direction is not really useful
and of no interest inside the player.
On read, it returns the name of the current DVB program,
on write, it triggers a channel-switch to the program
if it is found in the channel list of the currently active card.
Compared to the dvb-channel property which already exists
and is a pair of integers (card + channel number) this has the limitation
of not switching the card, but is probably of much more common use.
The mutex is used in dvbin_open and dvbin_close only since these are
the only entry / exit points to the stream.
When opening, it is first checked (mutexed) whether the state already exists
and is in use, then a STREAM_ERROR is returned,
since there may be only one stream_dvb active at a time.
State-creation itself is also protected by mutex.
In dvbin_close, the usage-bit is set to false (mutexed) in case
of channel switch.
In case of stream-teardown, the state is destructed
(also protected by mutex).
The state-structure is kept in a static pointer and reused on
recreation of the stream.
To not leak the state and the FDs within upon mpv shutdown,
the state-structure is still destructed gracefully in dvbin_close(),
unless a channel switch has been initiated directly before.
This fixes channel-switching for DVB which was broken since a609877.
The state-struct now contains everything which can be kept after initial initialization.
This includes the channel-lists, configuration, device-fds and also information like
current channel and current card.
The dvb_priv_t is kept containing the mp-options, a pointer to the state and to the logger.
After this restructuring, the state-struct contains all information which can be persisted
across channel switching.
Lots of noise to remove the vfilter/vo fields from dec_video.
From now on, video filtering and output will still be done together,
summarized under struct vo_chain.
There is the question where exactly the vf_chain should go in such a
decoupled architecture. The end goal is being able to place a "complex"
filter between video decoders and output (which will culminate in
natural integration of A->V filters for natural integration of
libavfilter audio visualizations). The vf_chain is still useful for
"final" processing, such as format conversions and deinterlacing. Also,
there's only 1 VO and 1 --vf option. So having 1 vf_chain for a VO seems
ideal, since otherwise there would be no natural way to handle all these
existing options and mechanisms.
There is still some work required to truly decouple decoding.
Instead of handling this on filter chain reinit, do it directly after
the decoder. This makes the code less entangled. In particular, this
gets rid of the really weird "override params" concept in the video
filter code.
The last_format/fixed_formats have some redundance with decoder_output,
but unfortunately the latter has a slightly different use.
UTF-16 subtitles are special in that they are usually read by
libavformat directly, even though they are not in UTF-8. This is
explicitly handled convert_charset() and skips conversion to UTF-8.
There was a bug due to not resetting the file position: if conversion
happens, the actual stream is replaced with a memory stream containing
the converted data, but if conversion is skipped, the original stream
with the wrong file position is kept.
Fix by always opening a memory stream. (We _could_ seek back, but there
is a slight possibility of additional failure due to unseekable
streams.)
Also, don't enter conversion if the subtitle is detected as UTF-8
either.
Fixes#2700.
Basically reimplement it. The old implementation was quite stupid, and
was probably done this way because video filtering and output used to be
way less decoupled. Now we can reimplement it in a very simple way: when
backstepping, seek to current time, but keep the last frame that was
supposed to be discarded when reaching the target time. When the seek
finishes, prepend the saved frame to the video frame queue.
A disadvantage is that the new implementation fails to skip over
timeline boundaries (ordered chapters etc.), but this never worked
properly anyway. It's possible that this will be fixed some time in the
future.
This is mainly a refactor. I'm hoping it will make some things easier
in the future due to cleanly separating codec metadata and stream
metadata.
Also, declare that the "codec" field can not be NULL anymore. demux.c
will set it to "" if it's NULL when added. This gets rid of a corner
case everything had to handle, but which rarely happened.
pyqtgraph's intColor() is less than ideal, especially on white
background. Can't see anything.
Unfortunately the rendering of the legend can't be fixed, because
pyqtgraph is terrible and hardcodes its rendering, including colors.
