The intention was to adjust the window size to video size. It never
worked well; it prevented the user to make the window smaller. For
unknown reason it stopped resizing properly as well.
This is just a cheap example, and I don't intend to fight with Qt, so
replace the "demonstration" behavior by something slightly lamer.
Commit 64b7811c tried to do the "right thing" with respect to whether
keyboard input should be enabled or not. It turns out that X11 does
something stupid by design. All modern toolkits work around this native
X11 behavior, but embedding breaks these workarounds.
The only way to handle this correctly is the XEmbed protocol. It needs
to be supported by the toolkit, and probably also some mpv support. But
Qt has inconsistent support for it. In Qt 4, a X11 specific embedding
widget was needed. Qt 5.0 doesn't support it at all. Qt 5.1 apparently
supports it via QWindow, but if it really does, I couldn't get it to
work.
So add a hack instead. The new --input-x11-keyboard option controls
whether mpv should enable keyboard input on the X11 window or not. In
the command line player, it's enabled by default, but in libmpv it's
disabled.
This hack has the same problem as all previous embedding had: move the
mouse outside of the window, and you don't get keyboard input anymore.
Likewise, mpv will steal all keyboard input from the parent application
as long as the mouse is inside of the mpv window.
Also see issue #1090.
For a while, we used this to transfer PCM from demuxer to the filter
chain. We had a special "codec" that mapped what MPlayer used to do
(MPlayer passes the AF sample format over an extra field to ad_pcm,
which specially interprets it).
Do this by providing a mp_set_pcm_codec() function, which describes a
sample format in a generic way, and sets the appropriate demuxer header
fields so that libavcodec interprets it correctly. We use the fact that
libavcodec has separate PCM decoders for each format. These are
systematically named, so we can easily map them.
This has the advantage that we can change the audio filter chain as we
like, without losing features from the "rawaudio" demuxer. In fact, this
commit also gets rid of the audio filter chain formats completely.
Instead have an explicit list of PCM formats. (We could even just have
the user pass libavcodec PCM decoder names directly, but that would be
annoying in other ways.)
Until now, the audio chain could handle both little endian and big
endian formats. This actually doesn't make much sense, since the audio
API and the HW will most likely prefer native formats. Or at the very
least, it should be trivial for audio drivers to do the byte swapping
themselves.
From now on, the audio chain contains native-endian formats only. All
AOs and some filters are adjusted. af_convertsignendian.c is now wrongly
named, but the filter name is adjusted. In some cases, the audio
infrastructure was reused on the demuxer side, but that is relatively
easy to rectify.
This is a quite intrusive and radical change. It's possible that it will
break some things (especially if they're obscure or not Linux), so watch
out for regressions. It's probably still better to do it the bulldozer
way, since slow transition and researching foreign platforms would take
a lot of time and effort.
E.g. --loop-file=2 will play the file 3 times (one time normally, and 2
repeats).
Minor syntax issue: "--loop-file 5" won't work, you have to use
"--loop-file=5". This is because "--loop-file" still has to work for
compatibility, so the "old" syntax with a space between option name and
value can't work.
It's just confusing; users are encouraged to edit input.conf instead
(changing the argument to the "add" command).
Update input.conf to keep the old behavior.
vo_vdpau uses its own framedrop code, mostly for historic reasons. It
has some tricky heuristics, of which I'm not sure how they work, or if
they have any effect at all, but in any case, I want to keep this code
for now. One day it might get fully ported to the vo.c framedrop code,
or just removed.
But improve its interaction with the user-visible framedrop controls.
Make --framedrop actually enable and disable the vo_vdpau framedrop
code, and increment the number of dropped frames correctly.
The code path for other VOs should be equivalent. The vo_vdpau behavior
should, except for the improvements mentioned above, be mostly
equivalent as well. One minor change is that frames "shown" during
preemption are always count as dropped.
Remove the statement from the manpage that vo_vdpau is the default; this
hasn't been the case for a while.
Until now, you could override only level 3 with --osd-status-msg. Extend
this, add add --osd-msg1 to --osd-msg3 (one for each OSD level). OSD
level 0 always means disable OSD, so that isn't included.
--osd-msg3 corresponds to --osd-status-msg, but they're not exactly the
same. To allow more customization, --osd-msgN do not include the OSD
symbol. The symbol can be manually added with "${osd-sym-cc}". We keep
the "old" option for some short-term compatibility.
--osd-msg1 should be particularly useful; for example you could do:
--osd-msg1='${?pause==yes:${osd-sym-cc}}'
to display a "paused" symbol when paused, and nothing during normal
playback. (Although admittedly, the syntax is quite a bit of work.)
We don't allow this by default, because it would be silly if random
external data (like filenames or file tags) could accidentally trigger
them.
Add a property that magically disables this ASS tag escaping.
Note that malicious input could still disable ASS tag escaping by
itself. This would be annoying but harmless.
With default settings, this allows you to hit the 100% mark (with
default --softvol-max in the middle) even if you've reached min or max
volume before. This is because 50 is not divisible by 3 (old default)
but by 2 (new default).
Not really sure why there still can be issues with higher --softvol-max
and --volstep=1, but this is where I stop caring.
Apparently making ESC exit fullscreen mode is the more popular
convention compared to ESC quitting the program.
It was also concluded that ESC should do nothing when the windows is
already in normal state.
See discussion in #973.
This is pretty imperfect, but it's just a demo.
The main purpose is clarifying how and when to get the video size.
In theory, retrieving the properties this way has a race condition:
after reading dwidth, the video could resize again. But the worst that
can happen are mismatching dwidth/dheight values, and the
MPV_EVENT_VIDEO_RECONFIG event would be immediately received again,
which would fix the mismatch. You could read the full video-out-params
property to absolutely avoid it, but it's not worth the trouble.
Use libwaio to read from pipes (stdin or named pipes) on Windows. This
liberates us from nasty issues, such as pipes (as created by most
programs) not being possible to read in a non-blocking or event-driven
way. Although it would be possible to do that in a somewhat sane way
on Vista+, it's still not easy, and on XP it's especially hard. libwaio
handles these things for us.
Move pipe.c to pipe-unix.c, and remove Windows specific things. Also
adjust the input.c code to make this work cleanly.
This means they get special handling for asynchronously aborting
playback, even if the player is "stuck".
Also document "stop". It seems somewhat useful for client API users
(although that will be implemented properly only in the following
commits.)
This makes the player wait until each script is loaded. Do this to give
the script a chance to setup all its event handlers. It might also be
useful to allow a script to change options that matter for playback.
While waiting for a script to be loaded, the player actually accepts
input. This is needed because the scripts can execute player commands
anyway while they are being "loaded". The player won't react to most
commands though: it can't quit or navigate the playlist in this state.
For deciding whether a script is finally loaded, we use a cheap hack: if
mpv_wait_event() is called, it's considered loaded. Let's hope this is
good enough. I think it's better than introducing explicit API for this.
Although I'm sure this will turn out as too simplistic some time in the
future, the same would probably happen with a more explicit API.
This was kept in the codebase because it is slightly faster than --vo=opengl
on really old Intel cards (from the GMA era). Time to kill it, and let it rest.
Fixes#1061
The Windows version of tmpfile is actually pretty broken. It tries to
create the file in the root directory of the current drive, which means
on Vista and up, it normally fails due to insufficient permissions.
Replace it with a version that uses GetTempPath.
Also remove the Windows-specific note about automatic deletion of the
cache file. FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE is available in NT, and it should
be pretty reliable.
--hls-bitrate=min/max lets you select the min or max bitrate. That's it.
Something more sophisticated might be possible, but is probably not even
worth the effort.
Until now, you had to use --load-unsafe-playlists or --playlist to get
playlists loaded. Change this and always load playlists by default.
This still attempts to reject unsafe URLs. For example, trying to invoke
libavdevice pseudo-demuxer is explicitly prevented. Local paths and any
http links (and some more) are always allowed.
When embedding a X window, it's hard to control whether it receives
mouse/keyboard input or not. It seems the X protocol itself makes this
hard (basically due to the outdated design mismatching with modern
toolkits), and we have to take care of these things explicitly.
Simply do this by manually querying and using the parent window event
flags.
This restores some MPlayer behavior (it doesn't add back exactly the
same code, but it's very similar).
This probably has some potential to interfere with libmpv embedding, so
bump the client API minor.
CC: @mpv-player/stable (if applied, client-api-changes.rst has to be
adjusted to include the 0.5.2 release)
In particular, use the note markup. The issue about rounded timestamps
is mostly with respect to Matroska (which usually rounds them to
milliseconds), which somewhat adds to the reliability issue.
This inserts an automatic conversion filter if a Matroska file is marked
as 3D (StereoMode element). The basic idea is similar to video rotation
and colorspace handling: the 3D mode is added as a property to the video
params. Depending on this property, a video filter can be inserted.
As of this commit, extending mp_image_params is actually completely
unnecessary - but the idea is that it will make it easier to integrate
with VOs supporting stereo 3D mogrification. Although vo_opengl does
support some stereo rendering, it didn't support the mode my sample file
used, so I'll leave that part for later.
Not that most mappings from Matroska mode to vf_stereo3d mode are
probably wrong, and some are missing.
Assuming that Matroska modes, and vf_stereo3d in modes, and out modes
are all the same might be an oversimplification - we'll see.
See issue #1045.
Since we have to be portable, our options for creating temporary files
are somewhat limited. tmpfile() happens to be available everywhere, so
use that. This function doesn't allow having a "visible" filename or
location, so we use the magic string "TMP" for this.
A (hopefully) temporary hack to make stream switching delays tolerable.
It's not clear how this should be handled (either executing a precise
seek on track switching, or always enabling all streams), so get this
issue out of the way for now by picking a rather low value.
Add the --cache-secs option, which literally overrides the value of
--demuxer-readahead-secs if the stream cache is active. The default
value is very high (10 seconds), which means it can act as network
cache.
Remove the old behavior of trying to pause once the byte cache runs
low. Instead, do something similar wit the demuxer cache. The nice
thing is that we can guess how many seconds of video it has cached,
and we can make better decisions. But for now, apply a relatively
naive heuristic: if the cache is below 0.5 secs, pause, and wait
until at least 2 secs are available.
Note that due to timestamp reordering, the estimated cached duration
of video might be inaccurate, depending on the file format. If the
file format has DTS, it's easy, otherwise the duration will seemingly
jump back and forth.
Add a new parameter 'p' to gaussian filter. The new formula used
a different base taken from fmtconv plugin, so that the
new parameter is exactly same as the one used in Avisynth and
Vapoursynth.
The new default value is 2 / log(2) * 10, with the default value it
conforms to the original kernel taken from vector-agg.
Add two new options, make it possible for user to set the radius
for some of the filters with no fixed radius.
Also add three new filters with the new radius parameter supported.
The little lua snippet at #488 as well as the actual implementation
seems to indicate that not expanding properties is indeed the correct
behavior. Document that.
