This is probably the 3rd time the user-visible behavior changes. This
time, switch back because not normalizing seems to be the more expected
behavior from users.
This covers source files which were added in mplayer2 and mpv times
only, and where all code is covered by LGPL relicensing agreements.
There are probably more files to which this applies, but I'm being
conservative here.
A file named ao_sdl.c exists in MPlayer too, but the mpv one is a
complete rewrite, and was added some time after the original ao_sdl.c
was removed. The same applies to vo_sdl.c, for which the SDL2 API is
radically different in addition (MPlayer supports SDL 1.2 only).
common.c contains only code written by me. But common.h is a strange
case: although it originally was named mp_common.h and exists in MPlayer
too, by now it contains only definitions written by uau and me. The
exceptions are the CONTROL_ defines - thus not changing the license of
common.h yet.
codec_tags.c contained once large tables generated from MPlayer's
codecs.conf, but all of these tables were removed.
From demux_playlist.c I'm removing a code fragment from someone who was
not asked; this probably could be done later (see commit 15dccc37).
misc.c is a bit complicated to reason about (it was split off mplayer.c
and thus contains random functions out of this file), but actually all
functions have been added post-MPlayer. Except get_relative_time(),
which was written by uau, but looks similar to 3 different versions of
something similar in each of the Unix/win32/OSX timer source files. I'm
not sure what that means in regards to copyright, so I've just moved it
into another still-GPL source file for now.
screenshot.c once had some minor parts of MPlayer's vf_screenshot.c, but
they're all gone.
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.
Of course, only FFmpeg has av_clipd(), while Libav does not. (Nevermind
that it doesn't do much more than the mpv MPCLAMP() macro. Supposedly,
libavutil can provide optimized platform-specific versions for av_clip*,
but of course nothing actually does for av_clipf() or av_clipd().)
libswresample doesn't do it - although it should, but the patch is stuck
in limbo.
Probably reduces problems with artifacts on downmixing in some cases.
Just set the ratio directly by working around the intended semantics of
the API function. The silly rounding stuff we had isn't needed anymore
(and not entirely correct anyway).
Note that since the compensation is virtually active forever, we need to
reset if it's not needed. So always run this code to be sure to reset
it.
Also note that libswresample itself had a precision issue, until it
was fixed in FFmpeg commit 351e625d.
Actually, it didn't really require that before (most work was avoided),
but some bits had to be run anyway. Separate the speed change into a
light-weight function, which merely updates already created filters, and
a heavy-weight one which messes with filter insertion.
This also happens to fix the case where the filters would "forget" the
current speed (force resampling, change speed, hit a volume control to
force af_volume insertion - it will reset speed and desync).
Since we now always run the light-weight function, remove the
af_scaletempo verbose message that is printed on speed setting. Other
than that, all setters are cheap.
For some reason, the encoder didn't like that the AVPacket already had
fields set. I'm not quite sure, but this might just be invalid API
usage. Do it as it's recommended.
This reverts commit 4e358a9636.
Testing shows the channel pairs must indeed be swapped (details see
commit message of the reverted commit). Making the downmix code move
sl/sr to sdl/sdr is not an appropriate solution anymore, and it's
better to fix the unusual channel layout in ao_alsa.c directly.
(Not reverting the change in chmap.c; this is still correct.)
ao_alsa: attempt to fix 7.1 over HDMI
The last 2 channels of 7.1 (RLC/RRC in ALSA) were exported as sdl/sdr
instead of sl/sr (I don't even know why I chose sdl/sdr, but SL/SR
and RLC/RRC are different in the ALSA API). libsw/avresample do not
move the sl/sr channels to sdl/sdr when rematrixing, so silence was
sent for 2 channels. If my selection of sdl/sdr is essentially API
abuse, there's no reason why they should do this differently.
The mess here is really that ALSa doesn't map the HDMI layouts cleanly.
Most ALSA drivers export 7.1 in a way compatible to our expectations,
but Intel HDA/HDMI does not:
mpv/ffmpeg: fl-fr-fc-lfe-bl-br-sl-sr
ALSA/generic: FL FR FC LFE RL RR SL SR [1]
ALSA/HDMI: FL FR LFE FC RL RR RLC RRC [2]
The HDMI layout is layout 0x13 (going by CEA-861-B). The comment in
the kernel code has to be correct too. The early standard defines only
1 other layout, which replaces RLC/RRC with FRC/FLC - this probably
corresponds to what we call "7.1(wide)".
So it appears when ALSA requests RLC/RRC, we should feed it sl/sr.
To make it more complicated, Kodi/xbmc apparently also have to deal with
ALSA being special, but instead of sending sl/sr to RLC/RRC, they swap
the last two pairs of the layout, and send sl/sr to RL/RR and bl/br to
RLC/RRC. Or I might have misunderstood their code. I don't have a
7.1-capable A/V receiver, so I can't test this.
For now, go with the simpler solution, and wait until someone tests it.
If the speakers end up swapped, a completely different solution will be
needed.

av_free_packet() got finally deprecated. Use av_packet_unref() instead,
which has almost the same semantics, has existed for a while, and is
available in all FFmpeg and Libav versions we support.
av_get_default_channel_layout() fails with channel counts larger than 8.
The channel layout doesn't need to make sense, so pick an arbitrary
fallback.
libswresample also has options for setting the channel counts directly,
but better not introduce new concepts in the code. Also, libavresample
doesn't have these options.
This code removes filters which can not take spdif inout. This was made
so that PCM filters are transparently dropped in spdif mode.
This entered an endless loop with:
--af=lavcac3enc:::2 --audio-channels=5.1
The forced number of output channels is incompatible with spdif. It's
trying to insert af_lavrresample as conversion filter to compensate for
it. Of course this doesn't work, which triggers the PCM filter removal.
Then it goes on normally - since the new state is exactly as before, it
will try the same thing again, forever.
Fix by reusing the retry counter, which is a very dumb but very
effective measure against these cases of filter negotiation failure. We
could try to be more clever (for example, if the removed filter is a
conversion filter, we can be sure this won't work, and error out
immediately). But better keep it simple and robust.
Small adjustments to the playback speed use swr_set_compensation()
to stretch the audio as it is required. But since large adjustments
are now handled by actually reinitializing libswresample, the small
adjustments get rounded off completely with typical frame sizes.
Compensate for this by accounting for the rounding error and keeping
track of fractional samples that should have been output to achieve
the correct ratio.
This fixes display sync mode behavior, which requires these adjustments
to be relatively accurate.
swr/avresample_set_compensation() was made for small speed adjustments.
Non-documentation says it should be used for changes not larger than 1%,
so reinitialize the sampler if the change is larger than that.
swr_set_compensation() changes the apparent sample rate on the fly (who
would have guessed). It is thus very well-suited for adjusting audio
speed on the fly during playback (like needed by the display-sync mode).
It skips the relatively slow resampler reinitialization.
If this doesn't work (libswresample soxr backend), then fall back to the
old method.
This flag was used by some filters and made sure none of these filters
were inserted twice. This triggers only if the user explicitly tries to
add multiple filters (and not e.g. due to auto-insertion), so at best
this warned the user from doing something potentially pointless. At
worst, it blocked some (mildly) legitimate use-cases. Get rid of it.
Also see #2322.
The reason MPlayer traditionally duplicated them all over the place is
that it wanted every component to be a self-contained library (e.g.
audio filters were in "libaf"). But this is not necessarily helpful, and
this change makes the following commit a bit simpler.
Not sure why struct af_resample_opts even exists. It seems useful to
group the fields set by user options. But storing the current format
conversion parameters doesn't seem very elegant, and having a separate
instance in the "ctx" field isn't helpful either.
Some users still use this filter, so the filter was going to be kept.
But I overlooked that libavfilter provides this filter. Remove the
redundant wrapper from mpv. Something like --af=lavfi=bs2b should work
and give exactly the same results.
All of these filters are considered not useful anymore by us. Some have
replacements in libavfilter (useable through af_lavfi).
af_center, af_extrastereo, af_karaoke, af_sinesuppress, af_sub,
af_surround, af_sweep: pretty simple and useless filters which probably
nobody ever wants.
af_ladspa: has a replacement in libavfilter.
af_hrtf: the algorithm doesn't work properly on most sources, and the
implementation was buggy and complicated. (The filter was inherited from
MPlayer; but even in mpv times we had to apply fixes that fixed major
issues with added noise.) There is a ladspa filter if you still want to
use it.
af_export: I'm not even sure what this is supposed to do. Possibly it
was meant for GUIs rendering audio visualizations, but it couldn't
really work well. For example, the size of the audio depended on the
samplerate (fixed number of samples only), and it couldn't retrieve the
complete audio, only fragments. If this is really needed for GUIs, mpv
should add native visualization, or a proper API for it.
This was a minor optimization to potentially avoid resampler
reconfiguration when the filter is reinitialized. But filter
reinitialization is a rare event, and the case when no reconfiguration
is needed is even rarer. As such, this is an unnecessary micro-
optimization and only adds potential for bugs.
This message bloats verbose log output if e.g. audio speed is frequently
readjusted, such as when syncing audio to video. So don't print the
message if only speed is changed. (This case requires reconfiguration,
but can't change the input/output channel maps.)
Also do not print the message if no remixing is done at all.
Some filter chains require a huge number of auto-inserted conversion
filters. There is an overly stupid safeguard against infinite filter
insertions, which counts the number of conversion filters inserted. This
triggered accidentally in this case. Fix by resetting this counter after
a non-conversion filter was successfully configured.
Replace all the check macros with function calls. Give them all the
same case and naming schema.
Drop af_fmt2bits(). Only af_fmt2bps() survives as af_fmt_to_bytes().
Introduce af_fmt_is_pcm(), and use it in situations that used
!AF_FORMAT_IS_SPECIAL. Nobody really knew what a "special" format
was. It simply meant "not PCM".
This avoids keeping "bad" state from previous reconfig calls, such as
the internal_sample_format option (which is set only on the first
reconfig call).
There's no advantage to keeping the resample contexts around anyway.
Basically, af_fix_format_conversion() behaves stupid you insert a
conversion filter that won't work, and adding back the conversion test
function is the simplest fix to it.
This attempted to find a minimal filter graph for a format conversion
involving multiple conversion filters. With the last 2 commits it
becomes dead code - remove it.
Now af_lavrresample can output 24 bit samples directly, by doing the
conversion "inline". Luckily, S32->S24 can be done in-place, so this
isn't too much work. But the output conversion logic (which seems to be
adding up) gets slightly more complicated again.
Normally this is done by af_convert24. But having multiple conversion
filters complicates some aspects of the filter chain. S24 output is the
only thing the code for multiple conversion filters is still needed for,
and getting rid of that is preferable.
If the code path for additional output conversion is active,
reorder_planes() is always called, even if the reorder_out array wasn't
filled. This is obviously wrong - always fill this array.
They are useless. Not only are they actually rarely in use; but
libavcodec doesn't even output them, as libavcodec has no such sample
formats for decoded audio.
Even if it should happen that we actually still need them (e.g. if doing
direct hardware output), there are better solutions. Swapping the sign
is a fast and lossless operation and can be done inplace, so AO actually
needing it could do this directly.
If you wonder why we keep U8 instead of S8: because libavcodec does it.
Until now, we didn't do this, because it required some effort, and
didn't seem to be necessary. It probably still isn't, but it sounds
like a good idea not to output arbitrary data on these channels.
The situation is complicated by the fact that just adding new channels
to a planar frame would require messing with buffers. So we would have
to allocate new buffers and add them to the frame. We could have to
maintain an extra buffer pool for this. Avoid this by being "clever",
and just allocate a frame with enough channels in the first place.
libav/swresample won't know about these channels and won't write to
them, but we can grab them in reorder_planes() and use them for the
NA channels.
