Instead of having to rely on the protocol matching, make a function that
creates a stream from a stream_info_t directly. Instead of going through
a weird indirection with STREAM_CTRL, add a direct argument for non-text
arguments to the open callback. Instead of creating a weird dummy
mpv_global, just pass an existing one from all callers. (The latter one
is just an artifact from the past, where mpv_global wasn't available
everywhere.)
Actually I just wanted a function that creates a stream without any of
that bullshit. This goal was slightly missed, since you still need this
heavy "constructor" just to setup a shitty struct with some shitty
callbacks.
struct stream used to include the stream buffer, including peek buffer,
inline in the struct. It could not be resized, which means the maximum
peek size was set in stone. This meant demux_lavf.c could peek only so
much data.
Change it to use a dynamic buffer. Because it's possible, keep the
inline buffer for default buffer sizes (which are basically always used
outside of file opening). It's unknown whether it really helps with
anything. Probably not.
This is also the fallback plan in case we need something like the old
stream cache in order to deal with mp4 + unseekable http: the code can
now be easily changed to use any buffer size.
Apparently this was so that when playing a video file from a .rar file,
it would load external subtitles with the same name (instead of looking
for mpv's rar:// mangled URL). This was requested on github almost 5
years ago. Seems like a weird feature, and I don't care. Drop it,
because it complicates some in progress change.
libarchive (sometimes affectionately called libcve) has this annoying
behavior that if after a "fatal" error, you do any operation on the
archive context other than querying the error and closing the context,
you get a free CVE. So we close the archive context in these situations.
This can set p->mpa to NULL, so code accessing this field needs to be
careful.
This was not considered in a certain code path, and a simple truncated
.rar file made it crash. Part of the problem was that the file inside
the rar was a mkv file, which triggered seeking when the demux_mkv
resync code encountered bogus data.
This is probably a regression from a relatively recent change to this
code (in any case mpv 0.29.1 doesn't crash).
Fix this by adding the check.
There's also a mechanism to reopen an archive context used to emulate
seeking, since most libarchive format handlers don't support this
natively. Add a reopen call to the codepath, because obviously it should
always be possible to seek back into a "working" area of the file.
There is a second bug with this: if reopening fails, we don't adjust the
current position back to 0, which in some cases means we accidentally
return bogus data to the reader when we shouldn't. Fix this by always
resetting the position on reopening.
The intent of the line above the modified one code was raising the
amount of read data, so that many stream_peek() calls with small len
values would not degrade performance by effectively turning every
stream_peak() into an unbuffered read call to the stream implementation.
So this confusing looking MPMAX() was correct, but "chunk" could still
get beyond the buffer.
So just fix that and limit "chunk" correctly.
I'm not sure whether the commit referenced below accidentally removed
some intricate guarantee that this couldn't happen, since the code was
around since 2013. It could have relied on TOTAL_BUFFER_SIZE >
STREAM_BUFFER_SIZE. But not sure. I've rewritten all this code in my own
branch a year ago, so who knows.

The write functionality is almost unused (only encoding 2-pass mode uses
it to write the log file). Moreover, it almost makes no sense to use
this in a not local scenario. This change is just to prevent people from
duplicating the short write logic across all streams that happen to
support writing. Mostly untested; local log file writing still works.
Linux analog TV support (via tv://) was excessively complex, and
whenever I attempted to use it (cameras or loopback devices), it didn't
work well, or would have required some major work to update it. It's
very much stuck in the analog past (my favorite are the frequency tables
in frequencies.c for analog TV channels which don't exist anymore).
Especially cameras and such work fine with libavdevice and better than
tv://, for example:
mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0
(adding --profile=low-latency --untimed even makes it mostly realtime)
Adding a new input layer that targets such "modern" uses would be
acceptable, if anyone is interested in it. The old TV code is just too
focused on actual analog TV.
DVB is rather obscure, but has an active maintainer, so don't remove it.
However, the demux/stream ctrl layer must go, so remove controls for
channel switching. Most of these could be reimplemented by using the
normal method for option runtime changes.
This was possibly needed by libdvdread, and/or old CD drivers on some
system. It still works with on-filesystem DVD and BD test images, so
this can go.
This removes anything related to DVD/BD/CD that negatively affected the
core code. It includes trying to rewrite timestamps (since DVDs and
Blurays do not set packet stream timestamps to playback time, and can
even have resets mid-stream), export of chapters, stream languages,
export of title/track lists, and all that.
Only basic seeking is supported. It is very much possible that seeking
completely fails on some discs (on some parts of the timeline), because
timestamp rewriting was removed.
Note that I don't give a shit about optical media. If you want to watch
them, rip them. Keeping some bare support for DVD/BD is the most I'm
going to do to appease the type of lazy, obnoxious users who will care.
There are other players which are better at optical discs.
stream_dvd.c contained large amounts of ancient, unmaintained code,
which has been historically moved to libdvdnav. Basically, it's full of
low level parsing of DVD on-disc structures.
Kill it for good. Users can use the remaining dvdnav support (which
basically operates in non-menu mode). Users have reported that
libdvdread sometimes works better, but this is just libdvdnav's problem
and not ours.
While they accept the frequency field with MHz for DVB-S,
for DVB-C and DVB-T, it may be in Hz, kHz or MHz.
The official rule is to multiply whatever is in the channels.conf
by 1000 until a value > 1000000 is reached to get correct units for tuning.
Manual changes done:
* Merged the interface-changes under the already master'd changes.
* Moved the hwdec-related option changes to video/decode/vd_lavc.c.
Seems to happen often with ytdl pseudo-DASH streams, so whatever. I
couldn't reproduce it and check what triggers it, I just remember seeing
the error message and found it annoying.
This happened with a .flac file inside an archive. It tried to seek
beyond the end of the archive entry in a format where seeking isn't
supported. stream_libarchive handles these situations by skipping data.
But when the end of the archive is reached, archive_read_data() returns
0. While libarchive didn't bother to fucking document this, they do say
it's supposed to work like read(), so I guess a return value of 0 really
means EOF. So change the "< 0" to "<= 0". Also add some error logging.
The same file actually worked without out of bounds reads when
extracted, so there still might be something very wrong.
The demuxer cache is the only cache now. Might need another change to
combat seeking failures in mp4 etc. The only bad thing is the loss of
cache-speed, which was sort of nice to have.
Functions `write` and `smbc_write` are given a diminishing buffer of
incorrect constant size. After partial writes, the code would do another
write of the full original length, failing to subtract the amount
already written.
There is some code that checks a FD for whether it is a regular file or
not. If it's not a regular file, it e.g. enables use of poll() to avoid
blocking forever.
But this was done only for FDs that were open()ed by us, not from stdin
special handling or fd://. Consequently, " | mpv -" could block the
player. Fix this by moving the code and running for it on all FDs.
Also, set p->regular_file even on mingw.
Alway give each demuxer its own mp_cancel instance. This makes
management of the mp_cancel things much easier. Also, instead of having
add/remove functions for mp_cancel slaves, replace them with a simpler
to use set_parent function. Remove cancel_and_free_demuxer(), which had
mpctx as parameter only to check an assumption. With this commit,
demuxers have their own mp_cancel, so add demux_cancel_and_free() which
makes use of it.
The properties/commands touched in this commit are all for obscure
special inputs (BD/DVD/DVB/TV), and they all block on the demuxer/stream
layer. For network streams, this blocking is very unwelcome. They will
affect playback and probably introduce pauses and frame drops. The
player can even freeze fully, and the logic that tries to make playback
abortable even if frozen complicates the player.
Since the mentioned accesses are not needed for network streams, but
they will block on network streams even though they're going to fail,
add a flag that coarsely enables/disables these accesses. Essentially it
establishes a whitelist of demuxers/streams which support them.
In theory you could to access BD/DVD images over network (or add such
support, I don't think it's a thing in mpv). In these cases these
controls still can block and could even "freeze" the player completely.
Writing to the "program" and "cache-size" properties still can block
even for network streams. Just don't use them if you don't want freezes.
The intention is to avoid that the parent mp_cancel retains the
internally allocated wakeup pipe. File FDs are a relatively scarce
resource, so try to avoid having too many. This might matter for
subtitle files, for which it is relatively likely that they are loaded
in large quantities.
demux_lavf.c will close the underlying stream for most subtitle files,
and now it will free the wakeup pipe too. Actually, there are currently
only 1 or 2 mp_cancel objects per mpv core, but this could change if
every external subtitle track gets its own mp_cancel in later commits.
It seems a bit inappropriate to have dumped this into stream.c, even if
it's roughly speaking its main user. At least it made its way somewhat
unfortunately to other components not related to the stream or demuxer
layer at all.
I'm too greedy to give this weird helper its own file, so dump it into
thread_tools.c.
Probably a somewhat pointless change.
There is some code that checks a FD for whether it is a regular file or
not. If it's not a regular file, it e.g. enables use of poll() to avoid
blocking forever.
But this was done only for FDs that were open()ed by us, not from stdin
special handling or fd://. Consequently, " | mpv -" could block the
player. Fix this by moving the code and running for it on all FDs.
Also, set p->regular_file even on mingw.
When this happens, network calls are forcibly aborted (more or less),
but demuxers might keep going, as most of them do not check for forced
exits properly. This can possibly lead to broken packets being added.
Also do not attempt to read more packets in this situation.
Also do not print a stream open failed message if opening was aborted
anyway.
Naturally, there's more than one fourcc that indicates an mjpeg
stream.
I have a particular ancient webcam here (Logitech QuickCam Messanger)
that only supports the single 'JPEG' format, but there are other
devices out there which support both 'JPEG' and 'MJPG' with no visible
differences, and others where the streams are slightly different.
Regardless of those details, it remains correct to treat 'JPEG'
the same as 'MJPG' from a stream consumption perspective.
Do this because retrying reading on higher levels (like the demuxer)
usually causes tons of problems. A hack like this is simpler and could
allow to remove some of the higher level retry behavior.
This works by trying to detect whether the file is appended. If we reach
EOF, check if the file size changed compared to the initial value. If it
did, it means the file was appended at least once, and we set the
p->appending flag. If that flag is set, we simply retry reading more
data every time we encounter EOF. The only way to do this is polling,
and we poll for at most 10 times, after waiting for 200ms every time.
The use of the FFmpeg hls protocol (as opposed to demuxer) is
"discouraged", and probably only causes additional potential security
problems at best, so drop it.
