libavdevice supports various "special" video and audio inputs, such
as screen-capture or libavfilter filter graphs.
libavdevice inputs are implemented as demuxers. They don't use the
custom stream callbacks (in AVFormatContext.pb). Instead, input
parameters are passed as filename. This means the mpv stream layer has
to be disabled. Do this by adding the pseudo stream handler avdevice://,
whose only purpose is passing the filename to demux_lavf, without
actually doing anything.
Change the logic how the filename is passed to libavformat. Remove
handling of the filename from demux_open_lavf() and move it to
lavf_check_file(). (This also fixes a possible bug when skipping the
"lavf://" prefix.)
libavdevice now can be invoked by specifying demuxer and args as in:
mpv avdevice://demuxer:args
The args are passed as filename to libavformat. When using libavdevice
demuxers, their actual meaning is highly implementation specific. They
don't refer to actual filenames.
Note:
libavdevice is disabled by default. There is one problem: libavdevice
pulls in libavfilter, which in turn causes symbol clashes with mpv
internals. The problem is that libavfilter includes a mplayer filter
bridge, which is used to interface with a set of nearly unmodified
mplayer filters copied into libavfilter. This filter bridge uses the
same symbol names as mplayer/mpv's filter chain, which results in symbol
clashes at link-time.
This can be prevented by building ffmpeg with --disable-filter=mp, but
unfortunately this is not the default.
This means linking to libavdevice (which in turn forces linking with
libavfilter by default) must be disabled. We try doing this by compiling
a test file that defines one of the clashing symbols (vf_mpi_clear).
To enable libavdevice input, ffmpeg should be built with the options:
--disable-filter=mp
and mpv with:
--enable-libavdevice
Originally, I tried to auto-detect it. But the resulting complications
in configure did't seem worth the trouble.
Opening files with the libavformat AVISynth demuxer ("avs"/avisynth.c)
fails, because the filename we pass to avformat_open_input() is prefixed
with "mp:". Normally, this doesn't matter, because data is read with the
stream interface. The AVISynth demuxer can't use this, because the
Avisynth API (apparently) can't read scripts from memory, and requires
a filename.
The "mp:" prefix used to be required when mplayer's stream layer was
made available as protocol to ffmpeg. This was replaced by setting
custom stream callbacks in de4908 (svn commit 25499), but the prefix
wasn't removed. Since this prefix doesn't have any purpose anymore and
prevents AVS playback from functioning, remove it. Fixes#5.
Update endpos each time libavformat asks for it.
Fixes playback of still downloading files to not stop before we
really reached the end.

Make demux_lavf not error out if no video or audio track is present.
This allows opening subtitle files with the demuxer.
Improve the test whether subtitles read from demuxers must do explicit
packet reads. (I'm not sure whether always doing these reads could have
bad effects, such as reading too many audio and video packets at once,
so be conservative.)
Finish renaming directories and moving files. Adjust all include
statements to make the previous commit compile.
The two commits are separate, because git is bad at tracking renames
and content changes at the same time.
Also take this as an opportunity to remove the separation between
"common" and "mplayer" sources in the Makefile. ("common" used to be
shared between mplayer and mencoder.)
Tis drops the silly lib prefixes, and attempts to organize the tree in
a more logical way. Make the top-level directory less cluttered as
well.
Renames the following directories:
libaf -> audio/filter
libao2 -> audio/out
libvo -> video/out
libmpdemux -> demux
Split libmpcodecs:
vf* -> video/filter
vd*, dec_video.* -> video/decode
mp_image*, img_format*, ... -> video/
ad*, dec_audio.* -> audio/decode
libaf/format.* is moved to audio/ - this is similar to how mp_image.*
is located in video/.
Move most top-level .c/.h files to core. (talloc.c/.h is left on top-
level, because it's external.) Park some of the more annoying files
in compat/. Some of these are relicts from the time mplayer used
ffmpeg internals.
sub/ is not split, because it's too much of a mess (subtitle code is
mixed with OSD display and rendering).
Maybe the organization of core is not ideal: it mixes playback core
(like mplayer.c) and utility helpers (like bstr.c/h). Should the need
arise, the playback core will be moved somewhere else, while core
contains all helper and common code.
