We use the metadata provided by youtube-dl to sort-of implement
fragmented DASH streaming.
This is all a bit hacky, but hopefully a makeshift solution until
libavformat has proper mechanisms. (Although in danger of being one
of those temporary hacks that become permanent.)
Instead of enabling it only when a stream-cache is enabled, also try to
enable it independently from that if the demuxer is marked as
is_network.
Also add some code to the EDL code, so EDLs containing network streams
are automatically cached this way.
Extend the OSD info line so that it shows the demuxer cache in this case
(more or less).
I didn't find where or whether options.rst describes how the demuxer
cache is enabled, so no changes there.
Because it's kind of dumb. (But not sure if it was worth the trouble.)
For stream_file.c, we add new explicit fields. The rest are rather
special uses and can be killed by comparing the stream impl. name.
The changes to DVD/BD/CD/TV are entirely untested.
"uncached_stream" is a pretty bad name. It could be mistaken for a
boolean, and then its meaning would be inverted. Rename it.
Also add a "caching" field, which signals that the stream is a cache or
reads from a cache. This is easier to understand and more flexible.
This could potentially have caused fun crashes if the --tv-channels
option was used, and something more advanced than tv:// was used to open
it. (This code is still untested.)

Haali also ignores the element's contents, and interprets its presence
as the block not being a keyframe. FFmpeg is going to have an equivalent
change.
I don't know yet whether the affected sample is valid - a reference
timestamp of 0 doesn't make too much sense to me.
Some files appear to use them. In the sample I've seen, one field was
"Performer" instead of "PERFORMER".
This change is slightly risky, because it increases the chance of
misdetecting other formats as cue files.
Fixes#4057.
The FFmpeg versions we support all have the APIs we were checking for.
Only Libav missed them. Simplify this by explicitly checking for FFmpeg
in the code, instead of trying to detect the presence of the API.
This was excessively useless, and I want my time back that was needed to
explain users why they don't want to use it.
It captured the byte stream only, and even for types of streams it was
designed for (like transport streams), it was rather questionable.
As part of the removal, un-inline demux_run_on_thread() (which has only
1 call-site now), and sort of reimplement --stream-dump to write the
data directly instead of using the removed capture code.
(--stream-dump is also very useless, and I struggled coming up with an
explanation for it in the manpage.)
Disabling cache readahead by default until at least 1 track is selected
is mainly for external files and such, where you don't want them to use
up resources until they're actually used.
It doesn't make sense to disable the cache for the demuxer opened for
prefetch. Also, it's fine to let it do that for the main file too (doing
or not doing it is of little consequence). That saves us from having to
distinguish them.
Cover art handling is a disgusting hack that causes a mess in all
components. And this will stay this way. This is the Xth time I've
changed cover art handling, and that will probably also continue.
But change the code such that cover art is injected into the demux
packet stream, instead of having an explicit special case it in the
decoder glue code. (This is somewhat more similar to the cover art hack
in libavformat.)
To avoid that the over art picture is decoded again on each seek, we
need some additional "caching" in player/video.c. Decoding it after each
seek would work as well, but since cover art pictures can be pretty
huge, it's probably ok to invest some lines of code into caching it.
One weird thing is that the cover art packet will remain queued after
seeks, but that is probably not an issue.
In exchange, we can drop the dec_video.c code, which is pretty
convenient for one of the following commits. This code duplicates a
bunch of lower-level decode calls and does icky messing with this weird
state stuff, so I'm glad it goes away.
It has only 1 caller, and is too far appart within the file. I think it
used to have multiple callers, but now it just doesn't make any sense to
keep it separate anymore.
This was probably the intention all along. But I honestly have no idea
what this code even does.
Due to what ebml_read_vlen_int() is used for, this is unlikely to have
mattered anyway as it rarely/never reads huge values. Which is probably
why this has worked for over a decade.
TrueHD is a fucked up audio codec with extremely small frame sizes. Some
of these frames start with full headers, which are usually marked as
keyframes, and from which decoding can be started (or at least that's
what you'd expect).
So for such tracks we should probably trust the keyframe flags. Doesn't
really improve seek behavior, though.
Some files have audio tracks with packets that do not have a keyframe
flag set at all. I don't think there's any audio codec which actually
needs keyframe flags, so always assume an audio packet is a keyframe
(which, in Matroska terminology, means it can start decoding from that
packet).
The file in question had these set:
| + Multiplexing application: Lavf57.56.100 at 313
| + Writing application: Lavf57.56.100 at 329
Garbage produced by garbage...
There are other such files produced by mkvmerge, though. It's not
perfectly sure whether these have been produced by FFmpeg as well
(mkvmerge often trusts the information in the source file, even if it's
wrong - so other samples could have been remuxed from FFmpeg).
Fixes#3920.
This is needed to put the decoders into the correct state. In
particular, decoders will not initialize the current segment without
this flag. The intention of not setting the flag for seeks within the
segments were to avoid costly decoder reinits, but it seems this is
better handled explicitly in the decoder wrappers.
Implementation-wise, the values from the demuxer/codec header are merged
with the values from the decoder such that the former are used only
where the latter are unknown (0/auto).
Matroska actually has lots of colorimetry metadata that video tracks can
use, including mastering metadata (HDR signal peak) etc.
This commit adds the EBML definitions and parses the most basic fields.
Note that nothing uses these fields yet, this commit is just adding the
necessary parsing and infrastructure.
This deals with the estimation of buffered packets, which is used mostly
for display, but also things like pausing on low buffer levels.
If a stream is fully EOF (no more packets), we don't want to include it
in the total buffer amount. This also means we should make ds->eof less
flaky and more stable, so don't reset it in ds_get_packets() (this
function reset ds->eof just to retrigger a packet read attempt - we can
have this slightly simpler). This somewhat fixes buffering display when
e.g. issuing a refresh seek after re-enabling audio/video when playing
with subtitles only.
Commit f72a900892 (and others) added support for ordered editions that
recursively refer to other ordered editions. However, this recursion
code incorrectly activated if the source files had ordered chapters
even if the main file only wanted to use them as raw video, resulting
in broken timeline info overall.
Ordered chapters can specify a ChapterSegmentEditionUID value if they
want to use a specific edition from a source file. Otherwise the
source is supposed to be used as a raw video file. The code checked
demuxer->matroska_data.num_ordered_chapters for an opened source file
to see whether it was using a recursive ordered edition, but demux_mkv
could enable a default ordered edition for the file using the normal
playback rules even if the main file had not specified any
ChapterSegmentEditionUID. Thus this incorrectly enabled recursion if a
source file had a default edition using ordered chapters. Check
demuxer->matroska_data.uid.edition instead, and ensure it's never set
if a file is opened without ChapterSegmentEditionUID.
Also fix what seems like a memory leak in demux_mkv.c.

FFmpeg recently got "support" for mov edit lists. This is a terrible
hack that will fail completely at least with some decoders (in
particular wrappers for hardware decoding might be affected). As such it
makes no point to pretend they are supported, even if we assume that the
"intended" functionality works, that there are no implementation bugs
(good luck with all that messy code added to the already huge mov
demuxer), and that it covers enough of the mov edit list feature to be
of value.
So log an error if the FFmpeg code for mov edit lists appears to be
active - AV_PKT_FLAG_DISCARD is used only for "clipping" edit list
segments on non-key frame boundaries.
In the first place, FFmpeg committed this only because Google wanted it
in, and patch review did not even pick up obvious issues. (Just look how
there was no lavc version bump when AV_PKT_FLAG_DISCARD was added.)
We still pass the new packet flag to the decoders (av_common.c change),
which means we "support" FFmpeg's edit list code now. (Until it breaks
due to FFmpeg not caring about all the details.)
When switching a subtitle track, the subtitle wasn't necessarily
updated, especially when playback was paused.
Some awfully subtle and complex interactions here.
First off (and not so subtle), the subtitle decoder will read packets
only on explicit update_subtitles() calls, which, if video is active, is
called only when a new video frame is shown. (A simply video frame
redraw doesn't trigger this.) So call it explicitly. But only if
playback is "initialized", i.e. not when it does initial track selection
and decoder init, during which no packets should be read.
The second issue is that the demuxer thread simply will not read new
packets just because a track was switched, especially if playback is
paused. That's fine, but if a refresh seek is to be done, it really
should do this. So if there's either 1. a refresh seek requested, or 2.
a refresh seek ongoing, then read more packets.
Note that it's entirely possible that we overflow the packet queue with
this in unpredicated weird corner cases, but the queue limit will still
be enforced, so this shouldn't make the situation worse.
This has all been made unnecessary recently. The change not to copy the
global option struct in particular can be made because now nothing
accesses the global options anymore in the demux and stream layers.
Some code that was accidentally added/changed in commit 5e30e7a0 is also
removed, because it was simply committed accidentally, and was never
used.
Don't access MPOpts directly, and always use the new m_config.h
functions for accessing them in a thread-safe way.
The goal is eventually removing the mpv_global.opts field, and the
demuxer/stream-layer specific hack that copies MPOpts to deal with
thread-safety issues.
This moves around a lot of options. For one, we often change the
physical storage location of options to make them more localized,
but these changes are not user-visible (or should not be). For
shared options on the other hand it's better to do messy direct
access, which is worrying as in that somehow renaming an option
or changing its type would break code reading them manually,
without causing a compilation error.
This is for text subtitles. libavformat currently always reads text
subtitles completely on init. This means the underlying stream is
useless and will consume resources for various reasons (network
connection, file handles, cache memory).
Take care of this by closing the underlying stream if we think the
demuxer has read everything. Since libavformat doesn't export whether it
did (or whether it may access the stream again in the future), we rely
on a whitelist. Also, instead of setting the stream to NULL or so, set
it to an empty dummy stream. This way we don't have to litter the code
with NULL checks.
demux_lavf.c needs extra changes, because it tries to do clever things
for the sake of subtitle charset conversion.
The main reason we keep the demuxer etc. open is because we fell for
libavformat being so generic, and we tried to remove corresponding
special-cases in the higher-level player code. Some of this is forced
due to ass/srt mkv/mp4 demuxing being very similar to external text
files. In the future it might be better to do this in a more
straight-forward way, such as reading text subtitles into libass and
then discarding the demuxer entirely, but for aforementioned reasons
this could be more of a mess than the solution introduced by this
commit.
Probably fixes#3456.
Cleaner and makes it easier to change the underlying stream.
mp_property_stream_capture() still directly accesses it directly via
demux_run_on_thread(). This is evil, but still somewhat sane and is not
getting into the way here.
Not sure if I got all field accesses.
It doesn't necessarily have to mean anything bad.
We're still too lazy to provide any more detailed information (e.g.
whether this happened to likely bad interleaving, excessive amount of
packets like with some ASS subs, or that the readahead user option is
limitted by the packet queue size).
Instead of passing through double float timestamps opaquely, pass real
timestamps. Do so by always setting a valid timebase on the
AVCodecContext for audio and video decoding.
Specifically try not to round timestamps to a too coarse timebase, which
could round off small adjustments to timestamps (such as for start time
rebasing or demux_timeline). If the timebase is considered too coarse,
make it finer.
This gets rid of the need to do this specifically for some hardware
decoding wrapper. The old method of passing through double timestamps
was also a bit questionable. While libavcodec is not supposed to
interpret timestamps at all if no timebase is provided, it was
needlessly tricky. Also, it actually does compare them with
AV_NOPTS_VALUE. This change will probably also reduce confusion in the
future.
When an ogg track upodates metadata, we have to perform a complicated
runtime update due to the demux.c architecture. A detail was broken and
an array was allocated with the previous number of streams, which
usually led to invalid memory write accesses at least on the first
update.
See github commit comment on commit b9ba9a89.
If the PEAK tag is invalid, return an error.
Make the error signalling conventions more uniform by strictly returning
a negative value on error, and treating >=0 as success.
