It appears youtube-dl sometimes asks for a password on stdin. This won't
work, because mpv already uses the terminal.
(I wonder if this could be simpler, like simply closing FD 0, but let's
not. The FD would be reused by something random.)
Previously, mpv.exe used the --terminal option to decide whether to
attach to the parent process's console, which made it impossible to tell
whether mpv would attach to the console before the config files were
parsed. Instead, make mpv always attach to the console when launched
from the console wrapper (mpv.com) and never attach otherwise. This will
be useful for the next commit, which will use the presence of the
console to decide whether to use the pseudo-gui profile.
This change should also be an improvement in behavior. The old code
would attach to the parent process's console, regardless of whether it
was mpv.com or some other program like cmd.exe. This could be confusing,
since mpv.exe is marked as a Windows GUI program and shouldn't write
text to its parent process's console when launched directly. (See #768.)
Visual Studio does something similar with its devenv.com wrapper.
devenv.exe only attaches to the console when launched from devenv.com.
Add a platform-specific entry-point for Windows. This will allow some
platform-specific initialization to be added without the need for ugly
ifdeffery in main.c.
As an immediate advantage, mpv can now use a unicode entry-point and
convert the command line arguments to UTF-8 before passing them to
mpv_main, so osdep_preinit can be simplified a little bit.
Commit e920a00eb assumed that terminate_cocoa_application() actually
would exit. But apparently that is not always the case; e.g. mpv --help
will just hang. The old code had a dummy exit(0), which was apparently
actually called. Fix by explicitly exiting if mpv_main() returns and
terminate_cocoa_application() does nothing.
This allows getting the log at all with --no-terminal and without having
to retrieve log messages manually with the client API. The log level is
hardcoded to -v. A higher log level would lead to too much log output
(huge file sizes and latency issues due to waiting on the disk), and
isn't too useful in general anyway. For debugging, the terminal can be
used instead.
If the program name isn't quoted and the .exe it refers to isn't found,
CreateProcess will add the program arguments to the program name and
continue searching, so for "program arg1 arg2", CreateProcess would try
"program.exe", "program arg1.exe", then "program arg1 arg2.exe". This
behaviour is weird and not really desirable, so prevent it by always
quoting the program name.
When quoting argv[0], escape sequences shouldn't be used. msvcrt, .NET
and CommandLineToArgvW all treat argv[0] literally and end it on the
trailing quote, without processing escape sequences.
The function terminal_in_background() reports whether the player was
backgrounded. In this case, we don't want to annoy the user by still
printing the status to stderr. If no terminal interaction is assumed,
this mechanism is disabled, and stderr is always used. The read_terminal
variable signals this case.
Oddly, just redirecting stderr will disable output to stderr, because
the background check with tcgetpgrp() is done on stderr, but
read_terminal is still true (because that one depends on stdin and
stdout).
Explicitly disable this mechanism if --no-input-terminal is used by
setting read_terminal to true only if terminal input is actually
initialized.
Our own code was introduced when FFmpeg didn't provide this API (or
maybe didn't even have a way to determine the CPU count). But now,
av_cpu_count() is available for all FFmpeg/Libav versions we support,
and there's no reason to have our own code.
libavutil's code seems to be slightly more sophisticated than our's, and
it's possible that the detected CPU count is different on some platforms
after this change.
If the stdout or stderr write callback is NULL, then don't redirect this
stream. Preparation for the next commit.
Not sure what to do on Windows; it seems STARTUPINFO doesn't allow
redirection only one of them. So just let them write nothing. For our
intended use-case (next commit), this is probably sensible.
Makes all of overlay_add work on windows/mingw.
Since we now don't explicitly check for mmap() anymore (it's always
present), this also requires us to make af_export.c compile, but I
haven't tested it.
I noticed that the IPC code does not use MSG_NOSIGNAL or SO_NOSIGPIPE.
The former is "only" POSIX 2008 and also requires switching to sendto(),
while the latter is even less portable.
Not going to bother with this obsolete 80ies crap, just block SIGPIPE,
and instruct client API users to do the same.
This fixes using the mpv:// custom protocol on Yosemite were apparently
we receive an url which is automatically urlencoded by the system.

The subprocess code was already split into fairly general functions,
separate from the Lua code. It's getting pretty big though, especially
the Windows-specific parts, so move it into its own files.
Avoids a crash if OpenSSL tries to write to a broken connection with
write().
Obviously OpenSSL really should use send() with MSG_NOSIGNAL, but for
some reason it doesn't. This should probably be considered an OpenSSL
bug, but since in this case we "own" the process, there is no harm in
ignoring the signal.
This is not done with libmpv, because as a library we don't want to mess
with global state. It's also not done if terminal handling is disabled -
this is a bit arbitrary, but I don't care much.
When mpv is backgrounded initially (via & in the shell), do no longer
change terminal settings on startup. This fixes broken local echo after
launching a backgrounded mpv.
As usual, we use C11 semantics, and emulate it if <stdatomic.h> is not
available.
It's a bit messy with __sync_val_compare_and_swap(). We assume it has
"strong" semantics (it can't fail sporadically), but I'm not sure if
this is really the case. On the other hand, weak semantics don't seem to
be possible, since the builtin can't distinguish between the two failure
cases that could occur. Also, to match the C11 interface, use of gcc
builtins is unavoidable. Add a check to the build system to make sure
the compiler supports them (although I don't think there's any compiler
which supports __sync_*, but not these extensions).
Needed for the following commit.
Doing that doesn't make sense anyway: it's meant for interactive input,
and if the output of the player is not on the terminal, how will you
interact with it?
It was also quite in the way when trying to read verbose output with
e.g. less while the player was running, because the player would grab
half of all input meant for less (simply because stdin is still
connected to the terminal).
Remove the now redundant special-casing of pipe input.
Assume mpv.exe is located in $mpv_exe_dir, then config files were
preferably loaded from "$mpv_exe_dir/mpv". This was mostly traditional,
and inherited from MPlayer times.
Reverse the config path priority order, and prefer $CSIDL_APPDATA/mpv as
main config path. This also fixes behavior when writing watch_later
configs, and mpv is installed in a not-writable path.
It's possible that this will cause regressions for some users, if the
change in preference suddenly prefers stale config files (which may
happen to longer around in the appdata config dir) over the user's
proper config.
Also explicitly document the behavior.
It turns out the glibc people are very clever and return an error if the
thread name exceeds the maximum supported kernel length, instead of
truncating the name. So everyone has to hardcode the currently allowed
Linux kernel name length limit, even if it gets extended later.
Also the Lua script filenames could get too long; use the client name
instead.
Another strange thing is that on Linux, unrelated threads "inherit" the
name by the thread they were created. This leads to random thread names,
because there's not necessarily a strong relation between these threads
(e.g. script command leads to filter recreation -> the filter's threads
are tagged with the script's thread name). Unfortunate.
Especially with other components (libavcodec, OSX stuff), the thread
list can get quite populated. Setting the thread name helps when
debugging.
Since this is not portable, we check the OS variants in waf configure.
old-configure just gets a special-case for glibc, since doing a full
check here would probably be a waste of effort.
