This seems to be a problem only in OS X 10.9. I guess they improved the
general speed of the Cocoa startup and suddenly mpv core takes more time
than the Cocoa thread to initialize.
Fixes#285
(hopefully!)
Update Cocoa parts to remove usage of the mp_fifo internal API to send events
to the core and use the input context directly. This is to follow commits the
work in commits 70a8079c and d603e73c.
This was overlooked in the previous inplementation. Adding it required some
refactoring of the `handleKeyDown:` method in order to extract common parts
with `handleMediaKey:`.
This commit addresses some issues with the users had with the previous
implementation in commit c39efb9. Here's the changes:
* Use Quartz Event Taps to remove Media Key events mpv handles from
the global OS X queue. This prevents conflicts with iTunes. I did this on
the main thread since it is mostly idling. It's the playloop thread that
actually does all the work so there is no danger of blocking the event tap
callback.
* Introduce `--no-media-keys` switch so that users can disable all of mpv's
media key handling at runtime (some prefer iTunes for example).
* Use mpv's bindings so that users can customize what the media keys do via
input.conf. Current bindings are:
MK_PLAY cycle pause
MK_PREV playlist_prev
MK_NEXT playlist_next
An additional benefit of this implementation is that it is completly handled
by the `macosx_events` file instead of `macosx_application` making the
project organization more straightforward.
After killing the non functional AR support in c8fd9e5 I got much complaints so
this adds AR support back in (and it works). I am using the HIDRemote class by
Felix Schwarz and that part of the code is under the BSD license. I slightly
modified it replacing [NSApplication sharedApplication] with NSApp. The code
of the class is quite complex (probably because it had to deal with all the
edge cases with IOKit) but it works nicely as a black box.
In a later commit I'll remove the deprecation warnings caused by HIDRemote's
usage of Gestalt.
Check out `etc/input.conf` for the default bindings.
Apple Remote functionality is automatically compiled in when cocoa is enabled.
It can be disabled at runtime with the `--no-ar` option.
Media keys are pretty handy if you use mpv as a music player (yes I'm one of
those people that do).
These are the bindings (which lead to the same behaviour as iTunes):
* NX_KEYTYPE_PLAY -> MP_KEY_PLAY
* NX_KEYTYPE_FAST -> MP_KEY_NEXT
* NX_KEYTYPE_REWIND -> MP_KEY_PREV
I just handled these ones as the volume one would be pretty invasive. I could
maybe change it to increase the application's volume instead of system volume
only when mpv is frontmost (iTunes does this), but some users would probably
hate it.
On OSX with Cocoa enabled keyDown events are now handled with
addLocalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask:handler:. This allows to respond to
events even when there is no VO initialized but the GUI is focused.
This commit is a followup on the previous one and uses a solution I like more
since it totally decouples the Cocoa code from mpv's core and tries to emulate
a generic Cocoa application's lifecycle as much as possible without fighting
the framework.
mpv's main is executed in a pthread while the main thread runs the native cocoa
event loop.
All of the thread safety is mainly accomplished with additional logic in
cocoa_common as to not increase complexity on the crossplatform parts of the
code.
Schedule mpv's playloop as a high frequency timer inside the main Cocoa event
loop. This has the benefit to allow accessing menus as well as resizing the
window without the playback being blocked and allows to remove countless hacks
from the code that involved manually pumping the event loop as well simulating
manually some of the Cocoa default behaviours.
A huge improvement consists in removing NSApplicationLoad. This is a C function
defined in the Cocoa header and implements a minimal OSX application under ther
hood so that you can use the Cocoa GUI toolkit from C/C++ without having to
respect the Cocoa standards in terms of application initialization. This was
bad because the behaviour implemented by NSApplicationLoad was hard to customize
and had several gotchas especially in the menu department.
mpv was changed to be just a nib-less application. All the Cocoa part is still
generated in code but the event handling is now not dissimilar to what is
present in a stock Mac application.
As a part of reviewing the initialization process, I also removed all of
`osdep/macosx_finder_args`. The useful parts of the code were moved to
`osdep/macosx_appication` which has the broaded responsibility of managing the
full lifecycle of the Cocoa application. By consequence the
`--enable-macosx-finder` configure switch was killed as well, as this feature
is always enabled.
Another change the users will notice is that when using a bundle the `--quiet`
option will be inserted much earlier in the initializaion process. This results
in mpv not spamming mpv.log anymore with all the initialization outputs.
