Achieve this by polling. Will be used by the OSC. Basically a bad hack -
but the point is that the mpv core itself is in the best position to
improve this later.
Regression since commit 261506e3. Internally speaking, playback was
often not properly terminated, and the main part of handle_keep_open()
was just executed once, instead of any time the user tries to seek. This
means playback_pts was not set, and the "current time" was determined by
the seek target PTS.
So fix this aspect of video EOF handling, and also remove the now
unnecessary eof_reached field.
The pause check before calling pause_player() is a lazy workaround for
a strange event feedback loop that happens on EOF with --keep-open.
Actually free the old mmap region when readding an overlay of the same
ID without removing it before. (This is explicitly documented as
working.)
Replace the OSD atomically. Before this commit, the overlays were
removed and then readded to avoid synchronization problems.
Simplify the code: now there is no weird mapping between index and ID.
The OSD sub-bitmap list still needs to be prepared to skip unused IDs
(since each sub-bitmap list entry must be in use), but the code for this
is relatively separated now.
Fixes issue #956.
Currently entries are added after the current playlist element. This is kinda
confusing, more so given that "loadfile append" appends at the end of the
playlist.
"loadfile filename append-play" will now always append the file to the
playlist, and if nothing is playing yet, start playback. I don't want to
change the semantics of "append" mode, so a new mode is needed.
Probably fixes issue #950.
This called demux_flush(), but that doesn't make any sense with an
asynchronously running demuxer. It would just keep reading and add new
packets again. Explicitly pause the demuxer, so that this can't happen.
Also, when flushing, data will be missing, so the decoders should
always be reinitialized, even if the operation fails.
This adds a thread to the demuxer which reads packets asynchronously.
It will do so until a configurable minimum packet queue size is
reached. (See options.rst additions.)
For now, the thread is disabled by default. There are some corner cases
that have to be fixed, such as fixing cache behavior with webradios.
Note that most interaction with the demuxer is still blocking, so if
e.g. network dies, the player will still freeze. But this change will
make it possible to remove most causes for freezing.
Most of the new code in demux.c actually consists of weird caches to
compensate for thread-safety issues (with the previously single-threaded
design), or to avoid blocking by having to wait on the demuxer thread.
Most of the changes in the player are due to the fact that we must not
access the source stream directly. the demuxer thread already accesses
it, and the stream stuff is not thread-safe.
For timeline stuff (like ordered chapters), we enable the thread for the
current segment only. We also clear its packet queue on seek, so that
the remaining (unconsumed) readahead buffer doesn't waste memory.
Keep in mind that insane subtitles (such as ASS typesetting muxed into
mkv files) will practically disable the readahead, because the total
queue size is considered when checking whether the minimum queue size
was reached.
Until now, changing the properties showed the VO colorspace parameters
on OSD. This didn't work quite well, because it showed the VO parameters
_before_ the change. This is because at least one video frame with the
new parameters has to be shown, and this doesn't happen right after
changing the property, but a bit later.
Also fix a random typo in unrelated code.
No reason to wait until the audio has been played. This isn't a problem
with gapless audio disabled, and since gapless is now default, this
behavior might be perceived as regression.

This also means that the printed size is always rounded to KBs, because
the cache properties are returned in KB. I think this doesn't matter
much. But if it does, the cache properties should probably changed to
return bytes in the first place.
Instead of absuing m_option to store the property list, introduce a
separate type for properties. m_option is still used to handle data
types. The property declaration itself now never contains the option
type, and instead it's always queried with M_PROPERTY_GET_TYPE. (This
was already done with some properties, now all properties use it.)
This also fixes that the function signatures did not match the function
type with which these functions were called. They were called as:
int (*)(const m_option_t*, int, void*, void*)
but the actual function signatures were:
int (*)(m_option_t*, int, void*, MPContext *)
Two arguments were mismatched.
This adds one line per property implementation. With additional the
reordering of the parameters, this makes most of the changes in this
commit.
While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
Convert all these commands to properties. (Except tv_last_channel, not
sure what to do with this.) Also, internally, don't access stream
details directly, but dispatch commands with stream ctrls.
Many of the new properties are a bit strange, because they're write-
only. Also remove some OSD output these commands produced, because I
couldn't be bothered to port these.
In general, this makes everything much cleaner, and will also make it
easier to e.g. move the demuxer to its own thread.
Don't bother updating input.conf, but changes.rst documents how old
commands map to the new ones.
Mostly untested, due to lack of hardware.
Until now, an error was reported only if the command couldn't be parsed.
Attempt to do more fine-grained reporting. This is not necessarily
perfect, but it's an improvement.
The i_bps members of the sh_audio and dev_video structs are mostly used
for displaying the average audio and video bitrates. Keeping them in
bits-per-second avoids truncating them to bytes-per-second and changing
them back lateron.
Stop using it in most places, and prefer STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE. The
advantage is that always the correct size will be used. There can be no
doubt anymore whether the end_pos value is outdated (as it happens often
with files that are being downloaded).
Some streams still use end_pos. They don't change size, and it's easier
to emulate STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE using end_pos, instead of adding a
STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE implementation to these streams.
Make sure int64_t is always used for STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE (it was
uint64_t before).
Remove the seek flags mess, and replace them with a seekable flag. Every
stream must set it consistently now, and an assertion in stream.c checks
this. Don't distinguish between streams that can only be forward or
backwards seeked, since we have no such stream types.
stream.start_pos was needed for optical media only, and (apparently) not
for very good reasons. Just get rid of it.
For stream_dvd, we don't need to do anything. Byte seeking was already
removed from it earlier.
For stream_cdda and stream_vcd, emulate the start_pos by offsetting the
stream pos as seen by the rest of mpv.
The bits in discnav.c and loadfile.c were for dealing with the code
seeking back to the start in demux.c. Handle this differently by
assuming the demuxer is always initialized with the stream at start
position, and instead seek back if initializing the demuxer fails.
Remove the --sb option, which worked by modifying stream.start_pos. If
someone really wants this option, it could be added back by creating a
"slice" stream (actually ffmpeg already has such a thing).
The quit command has an optional argument that is used as exit code.
Extend that to the quit_watch_later command. Actually, unify the
implementations of the two commands.
Requested in #798.
The code paths for setting options by string and by direct "raw" value
were too different, which resulted in some weird code. Make the code
paths closer to each other.
Also, use this to remove the weirdness in the mpv_set_option()
implementation.
These are now equivalent to combining commands with the "cycle pause" or
"set pause" commands, and thus are not needed anymore. They were also
obscure and undocumented.
This is done after filters, so things like framerate-doubling
deinterlacing is accounted for.
Unfortunately, framedropping can cause inaccuracies (especially after
precise seeks), and we can't really know when that happens. Even though
we know that the decoder might drop a frame if we request it to do so,
we don't know when the dropped frame will start or stop affecting the
video filter chain. Video filters can have frames buffered, and we
can't tell at which point the dropped frame would have been output.
It's not even possible to mark a discontinuity after seek, because
again we don't know if the filter chain still has the discontinuity
within its buffers.
So we have to live with the fact that the output of this property can
be completely broken after seek, unless --no-hr-seek-framedrop is used.
Make it more suitable for chaining. This means a function formatting a
value to a string using a static buffer can work exactly like
mp_snprintf_append itself.
Also rename it to mp_snprintf_cat, because that's shorter.
Give up on the deint_filters[] array, and probe using explicit code
instead. Add additional checks to test the pixel format to avoid
annoying warnings when a hardware deinterlacer is inserted when the
current video chain is obviously incompatible.
lavfi would segfault due to a NULL dereference if it was asked for its
metadata and none had been allocated (oops). This happens for libav
which has no concept of filter metadata.
