Right now, the current order pretty much means that pulse defaults to
S16 for arbitrary unsupported formats, but fallback to float would make
more sense since it's the easiest to convert everything to without
requiring dithering, and PA will probably just internally convert things
to float anyway.
Also move S32 above S16, which essentially means format_maps is sorted
by preference. (Although ao_pulse currently ignores this and always
picks the first as a fallback)
This was an annoying option type. And still is. But at least it's on the
same level as m_option_type_print_fn now, and can probably cleaned up
further like it. Both types are for options that are only on the command
line, always have special handling (i.e. do something with them in
parse_commandline.c before passing them to the generic
m_config.c/m_option.c layers), and are m_options only for --list-options
and (oddly) the split_opt_silent() function.
This was especially grating because it causes problems with the
option/property unification, uses as only thing OPT_FLAG_STORE, and
behaves weird with the client API or scripts.
It can be reimplemented in a much simpler way, although it needs
slightly more code. (Simpler because less special cases.)
- Fix a signed/unsigned comparison involving info.segment_uid.len
(doesn't actually warn here, but seems fragile). Code was previously
safe though.
- Match up all printf format strings with the respective value types,
using the *int*_t printf specifiers where necessary, and fixing
multiple signed/unsigned differences. Removed some casts that
otherwise may have truncated values.
- Fix a warning when initializing ebml_info.
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, who did not agree to the LGPL relicensing, added this in commit
240b743e. The actual implementation of it is already guarded with
HAVE_GPL. The field_dominance field in the option struct won't be
guarded.
We won't keep GPL-only core code forever, so deprecate it as well. To
apply forced deinterlacing, a libavfilter filter can probably be
removed, or we merge this functionality into the --deinterlace option
(without using copyrighted stuff).
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.
It was extended by "seru" in 8d190244. This person could not be reached
(or does not reply), and it's in the way of LGPL relicensing. Deprecate
it, and mark the (probably) affected parts of the code with HAVE_GPL. To
be fair, even though the osd.c parts were refactored from the original
code, there's probably no copyright by seru on it. But for now play it
save. The mere existence of a 3rd OSD level is certainly not
copyrightable, so you still can set osd-level to 3 - just that it does
nothing.
If they are copyrightable, iive's changes (commits listed in cache.c)
would make them LGPL 3+. To avoid that options.c becoming LGPL 3, move
the option declarations to cache.c. struct mp_cache_opts is still in
options.h, but we consider that irrelevant, and options.h will become
LGPL 2.1+ later.
On some platforms, unsigned long and uint64_t aren't the same type,
after all. As this is just a MP_VERBOSE message, risking truncation in
some cases seems OK.
This reverts commit e30fe38a21.
The original author as well as the author from d568eaa2 agreed to LGPL
now. The only one missing is 0842caf6 (Henk could not be reached, and
that will probably stay this way).
When I discussed this with someone else who knows a lot about copyright
(j-b), the conclusion was that the rewrite was actually enough to
remove all past copyright. Only the syntax and the option name remained
the same, but code, code structure, and architecture all changed
radically. So I'm content with dropping the GPL part.
(m_option.c is still formally GPL due to the special agreement with
michael, but once this is fullfilled, we will change the license to
LGPL without further checks.)
The I binding was removed from input.conf (although it's probably not
copyrightable, but still).
bootstrap.py has a bunch of authors which probably make the licensing
situation a pain - but it's not integral part of the build system or the
source code, so it doesn't matter for a LGPL core.
I checked and cleaned up the build system in the last few commits. There
was the possibility that parts of it were based on actual code of the
old "configure" file, in particular with the waftools/fragments/ files
(it turned out some were, some even not covered by LGPL agreements).
This was checked, so I'm confident only the commit mentioned in the
Copyright file holds back proper LGPL licensing of it. (And I guess I
have to wait for a reply.)
I checked the English translations. There used to be help_mp-en.h (or
help_mp.h earlier), which was part of the source code, and which
contained most terminal and GUI messages. This was done for the purpose
of localization, but all localizations were dropped at one point in
mplayer2 development. At this point, the message defines were moved back
to the source code. (While in the years before that, they were moved
from the source code to the file where applicable.) I didn't check
help_mp-en.h when it was merged back. There was the possibility that
someone might have changed one of the English messages (i.e. added his
copyright to it), which then was copied back to the source code, without
accounting for that copyright. Upon checking the history now, it seems
this didn't happen for any code that we want to relicense to LGPL (in
fact, it happened to some messages in the DVD code only).
Most of the DVB test fragment was added in 2e399f39 by someone who
wasn't asked for LGPL relicensing permission. Thus remove it. (For some
weird reason, the configure check wasn't even for the later added actual
DVB code.)
Since DVB is disabled by default, this isn't too bad. But if someone
enables it, and the system doesn't support it, he will receive a weird
compilation error. That has to be good enough, until maybe someone adds
a new check.
This reverts commit 2e81698d28.
Seems like this was a patch applied from someone who can't agree to LGPL
relicensing (see previous commit), with the author field not properly
set.
This is not so important anyway, so just revert it.
The user bugmen0t was apparently a shared github account with publicly
available login. Thus, we can't get LGPL relicensing permission from the
people who used this account. To relicense successfully, we have to
remove all their changes.
This commit should remove 20d1fc13, f26fb009, defbe48d. It also should
remove whatever test fragments were copied from the ancient configure,
as well as some configure logic (potentially that device path stuff).
I think this change still preserves the most important use-cases of OSS:
BSDs, and the Linux OSS emulation (the latter for testing only).
According to an OSS user, the 4front checks were probably broken anyway.
The SunAudio stuff was probably for (Open)Solaris, which is dead.
ao_oss.c itself will remain GPL, and still contains bugmen0t changes.
A relic of mplayer had 'I' as the keybind to show the filename of the
currently playing file on the OSD. mpv does not do this by default.
This commit removes this incorrect information from the mpv manage.
In commit eb22569ff0, I claimed that the geometry parsing code was
rewritten. But I'm not sure if it's rewritten enough, or if copyright
claims could still be made. Given that the original code was
self-contained, and could be considered a separate work, it's probably
safer (and more up to the standards applied to this relicensing) to
leave this as GPL code.
The rewrite/code move can be seen with: git diff f2dcdca...ccaed5e
Although the origins lie somewhere in libaf, which was written by
"anders" and who explicitly disagreed with the LGPL relicensing, we can
change the license of these files, because all code was written by
"alex", who agreed with the relicensing.
The only things that remain from anders' code is the AF_FORMAT_ and af_
prefixes (see e.g. 66f4e563). It was alex who redid this file and added
the format identifiers we have today (507121f7). It's also nice to see
that alex actually claimed copyright on format.c (221a599f). In commit
efb50cab even the bitmask concept (which anders introduced with his
early af_format.c code) was removed, and essentially all lines and
symbols by anders were dropped.
To put it into perspective: the original af_format code was for
converting actual sample data and relied on OSS sample format
identifiers, mpv's format.c/h provides its own sample formats, but
does not do any data conversion.
Remove an now inaccurate comment from format.c (it somehow even survived
the typo that was present in the original commit). Also remove most of
the format.c include statements - most of them are technically anders'
code. We keep limits.h though.
As usual, the history of these files is a bit murky. It starts with the
initial commit. (At which some development had already been done,
according to the AUTHORS and ChangeLog files at the time, we should be
but covered with relicensing agreements, though.) then it goes on with
complete lack of modularization, which was cleaned up later (cd68e161).
As usual, we don't consider the copyright of the stuff that has been
moved out cleanly.
There were also contributions to generic code by people who could not be
reached or who did not agree to the relicensing, but this was all
removed.
The only patches that we could not relicense and which were still in the
current code in some form are from Dénes Balatoni: 422b0d2a, 32937181.
We could not reach him, so commits f34e1a0d and 18905298 remove his
additions. It still leaves the demux_control() declaration itself, but
we don't consider it copyrightable. It's basically an idiom that existed
in MPlayer before that change, applied to the demuxer struct. (We even
went as far as making sure to remove all DEMUXER_CTRLs the original
author added.)
Commit be54f481 might be a bit of a corner case, but this was rewritten,
and we consider the old copyright removed long ago.
Similar purpose as f34e1a0dee.
Somehow this is much more natural too, and needs less code.
This breaks runtime updates to duration. This could easily be fixed, but
no important demuxer does this anyway. Only demux_raw and demux_disc
might (the latter for BD/DVD). For the latter it might actually have
some importance when changing titles at runtime (I guess?), but guess
what, I don't care.
While we could easily ifdef-out this file for a LGPL core, it's still
annoying, and also the only GPL file remaining in player/ that is not
based on mplayer.c.
This file originates from subreader.c. It's not clear whether the
original author of it gave us permission to relicense to LGPL (he
probably did, but without further clarification it's sort of ambiguous),
but the subtitle file search code was written by other authors anyway
(see 7eef93819f).
One contribution (574eb892ea) is a bit of a corner case, as
test_ext_list() now does a bstrcasecmp(). But I don't think the
copyright remains here. (I asked the author anyway, just in case. But
I didn't wait for the answer.)
In some other cases, contributors who could not be reached added some
subtitle extensions. I don't think those are copyrightable on their own,
but I dropped them anyway just to be sure.
This is more uniform, and potentially gets rid of some past copyrights.
It might be that this subtly changes caching behavior (it seems before
this, it synced to the demuxer if the length was unknown, which is not
what we want.)
All relevant authors have agreed.
There are two exceptions, patches by authors who could not be reached.
This commit tries to remove their copyright.
a0f08fbe: messes with the seeking code corner cases. The EOF flag logic
was changed at some point, and always had a flaky history (see e.g.
347cf97250274ca370411f275999efb90d5e6084ff08d0c32e2f77e3de5566f09554a844, all which happened after that patch, MPlayer ones without that
patch). I claim that all of the copyright the patch might have added is
gone. Except the message in stream_seek(), which this commit removes.
The other code removed/changed in stream_seek() is probably not from
that patch, but it doesn't hurt to be sure, and also makes it more
readable. (It might change the behavior so that sometimes the eof flag
is set after a seek, but it doesn't matter here.)
2aa6acd9: it looks like the seek_forward() modified by this patch was
later moved to stream.c and renamed to stream_skip_read() in a790f2133.
(Looking closer at it, it was actually modified again a bunch of times,
fixing the logic.) I rewrote it in this commit. The code ended up rather
similar, which probably could lead to doubts whether this was done
properly, but I guess the reader of this will just have to believe me. I
knew what stream_skip_read() was supposed to do (which was reinforced
when I tried to replace it on the caller side), without reading the
pre-existing code in detail. I had to "relearn" the logic how buf_pos
and bug_len work - it was actually easy to see from stream_read_char()
how to skip the data, essentially by generalizing its logic from 1 byte
to N bytes. From the old code I only "used" the fact that it's obviously
a while(len>0) look, that has to call stream_fill_buffer repeatedly to
make progress. At first I actually didn't use stream_fill_buffer_by(),
but the variant without _by, but readded it when I checked why the old
code used it (see cd7ec016e7). This has to be good enough. In the end,
it's hard to argue that this could be implemented in a way not using
such a loop.
Other than this, I could add the usual remarks about how this code was
not modularized in the past, and how stream.c contained DVD code, and
how this was later modularized, moving the copyright to other files, and
so on. Also, if someone wrote a stream module, and was not asked about
LGPL relicensing, we don't consider the entry in stream_list[]
copyrightable.
cehoyos adds the step_property command in 7a71da01d, and it could be
argued that copyright of this still applies to the later add/cycle
commands (a668ae0ff9). While I'm not sure if this is really the case,
stay conservative for now and mark these commands as GPL-only. Mark the
command.c code too, although that is not being relicensed yet.
I'm leaving the MP_CMD_* enum items, as they are obviously different.
In commit 116ca0c768, "veal" (essentially an anonymous author) adds an
"osd_show_property_text" command (well, the commit message says "based
on" that person's code, so it's not clear how much is from him or from
albeu, who agreed to LGPL). This was later merged again with the
"osd_show_text" command, and then all original code was removed in
commit 58cc0f637f, so I claim that no copyright applies anymore. (Though
technically the input.conf addition still might be copyrighted, so I'm
just dropping it to get rid of the thought.)
"kiriuja" added 2f376d1b39 (sub_load etc.) and be54f4813 (switch_audio).
The latter is gone. I would argue that the former is fully rewritten
with commits b7052b431c and 0f155921b0. But like in the step_property
case, I will be overly conservative for now, and mark them as GPL-only,
as this is potentially shaky and should be thought through first. (Not
bothering with the command define/enum in the header, as it will be
unused in LGPL mode anyway.)
keycodes.c/h can be GPL, except for commit 2b1f95dcc2, which is a
patch by someone who wasn't asked yet. Before doing something radical, I
will wait for a reply.
Choosing the seek direction for MPSEEK_FACTOR based on the location of
seek_pts is nonsense, and can cause the seek position to oscillate
between adjacent keyframes, such as when dragging the OSC bar on short
videos.
Fix this by always seeking backward for type MPSEEK_FACTOR, i.e. seek
to the keyframe for the group of pictures (GOP) in which seek_pts is
located.
Fixes#4183.
