Get rid of the strange and messy reliance on DEMUXER_TYPE_ constants.
Instead of having two open functions for the demuxer callbacks (which
somehow are both optional, but you can also decide to implement both...),
just have one function. This function takes a parameter that tells the
demuxer how strictly it should check for the file headers. This is a
nice simplification and allows more flexibility.
Remove the file extension code. This literally did nothing (anymore).
Change demux_lavf so that we check our other builtin demuxers first
before libavformat tries to guess by file extension.
This removes the dependency on DEMUXER_TYPE_* and the file_format
parameter from the stream open functions.
Remove some of the playlist handling code. It looks like this was
needed only for loading linked mov files with demux_mov (which was
removed long ago).
Delete a minor bit of dead network-related code from stream.c as well.
Generally remove all accesses to demux_stream from all the code, except
inside of demux.c. Make it completely private to demux.c.
This simplifies the code because it removes an extra concept. In demux.c
it is reduced to a simple packet queue. There were other uses of
demux_stream, but they were removed or are removed with this commit.
Remove the extra "ds" argument to demux fill_buffer callback. It was
used by demux_avi and the TV pseudo-demuxer only.
Remove usage of d_video->last_pts from the no-correct-pts code. This
field contains the last PTS retrieved after a packet that is not NOPTS.
We can easily get this value manually because we read the packets
ourselves. Reuse sh_video->last_pts to store the packet PTS values. It
was used only by the correct-pts code before, and like d_video->last_pts,
it is reset on seek. The behavior should be exactly the same.
Currently, all demuxer fill_buffer functions have a demux_stream
parameter. We want to remove that, but the TV code still depends on
it. Add a hack to remove that dependency.
The problem with the TV code is that reading video and audio frames
blocks, so in order to avoid a deadlock, you should read either of
them only if the decoder actually requests new data.
This is not directly related to the handling of format changes itself,
but playing audio normally after the change. This was broken: the output
byte rate was not recalculated, so audio-video sync was simply broken.
Fix this by calculating the byte rate on the fly, instead of storing it
in sh_audio.
Format changes are relatively common (switches between stereo and 5.1
in TV recordings), so this fixes a somewhat critical bug.
This is a regression caused by 854303a. This commit removed the include of
`sys/time.h` which was included in `cache.c` through a chain of recurvive
includes.
These separate arrays were used by the old demuxers and are not needed
anymore. We can simplify track switching as well.
One interesting thing is that stream/tv.c (which is a demuxer) won't
respect --no-audio anymore. It will probably work as expected, but it
will still open an audio device etc. - this is because track selection
is now always done with the runtime track switching mechanism. Maybe
the TV code could be updated to do proper runtime switching, but I
can't test this stuff.
Delete demux_avi, demux_asf, demux_mpg, demux_ts. libavformat does
better than them (except in rare corner cases), and the demuxers have
a bad influence on the rest of the code. Often they don't output
proper packets, and require additional audio and video parsing. Most
work only in --no-correct-pts mode.
Remove them to facilitate further cleanups.
Commit 7b16d4b changed some stream implementations to check the buffer
size passed to them. This made stream_cdda stop working, because the
default buffer size is smaller than the CDIO frame size. So pass the
sector size instead of the (arbitrary) default buffer size.
Seeking to position 0 meant to try reconnecting with some streams,
actually just the internal http implementation. This has been removed,
so we don't need the special handling anymore.
This means we don't have to be stuck in a retry loop if the stream
doesn't even support reconnect.
stream_vstream.c in particular was actually dependent on the network
code, and didn't compile anymore.
Cleanup the protocol list in mpv.rst, and add some missing ones
supported by libavformat to stream_lavf.c.
This was an old leftover from an earlier cleanup (which happened in
2003), and which used "special" stuff for streams that could be only
forward-seeked.
Also, don't add mode flags to s->flags; they're supposed to be in
s->mode instead.
This was under CONFIG_NETWORKING, so in theory it should have been save
to remove. But actually this disables forward skipping when reading
from a pipe. (Still a questionable feature, because it doesn't behave
well with libavformat - but it was not supposed to be changed.)
This commit removes the "old" networking code in favor of libavformat's
code.
The code was still used for mp_http, udp, ftp, cddb. http has been
mapped to libavformat's http support since approximately 6 months ago.
udp and ftp have support in ffmpeg (though ftp was added only last
month). cddb support is removed with this commit - it's probably not
important and rarely used if at all, so we don't care about it.
When reading something successfully, the eof flag should never be 1, so
clear it in these situations. The eof flag will be set properly on the
next read call.
STREAM_CTRL_GET_METADATA will be used to poll for streamcast metadata.
Also add DEMUXER_CTRL_UPDATE_INFO, which could in theory be used by
demux_lavf.c. (Unfortunately, libavformat is too crappy to read metadata
mid-stream for mp3 or ogg, so we don't implement it.)
stream_read_unbuffered() can sometimes return negative values on error.
Change that to return 0 - the negative values are nowhere used anyway.
If distinguishing errors and EOF is really needed, a flag could be added
instead.
This also fixes the stream_read_partial() call in cache.c, which assumes
the return values is always >= 0.
Querying this caused the cache to block and wait. Some parts of the
frontend (like progress bar) call this very often, so cache performance
was ruined in these cases.
Also print a message in -v mode when the cache is blocked for a
STREAM_CTRL. This should make debugging similar issues easier.
Seems like a completely unnecessary complication. Instead, always add a
1 byte padding (could be extended if a caller needs it), and clear it.
Also add some documentation. There was some, but it was outdated and
incomplete.
Or rather, keep hacking it until it somehow works. The problem here was
that trying to avoid calling STREAM_CTRL_GET_CURRENT_TIME too often
didn't really work, so the cache sometimes returned incorrect times.
Also try to avoid the situation that looking up the time with an
advanced read position doesn't really work, as well as when trying to
look it up when EOF or cache end has been reached. In that case we have
read_filepos == max_filepos, which is "outside" of the cache, but
querying the time is still valid.
Should also fix the issue that demuxing streams with demux_lavf and if
STREAM_CTRL_GET_CURRENT_TIME is not supported messed up the reported
playback position.
This stuff is still not sane, but the way the player tries to fix the
playback time and how the DVD/BD stream inputs return the current time
based on the current byte position isn't sane to begin with. So, let's
leave it at bad hacks.
The two changes that touch s->eof are unrelated and basically of
cosmetic nature (separate commit would be too noisy.)
This is useless on the cache side. The sector is needed only to deal
with stream implementations which are not byte addressable, and the
cache is always byte addressable.
Also set a default read_chunk value. (This value is never used unless
you chain multiple caches, but it's cleaner.)
DVD and bluray packet streams carry (essentially) random timestamps,
which don't start at 0, can wrap, etc. libdvdread and libbluray provide
a linear timestamp additionally. This timestamp can be retrieved with
STREAM_CTRL_GET_CURRENT_TIME.
The problem is that this timestamp is bound to the current raw file
position, and the stream cache can be ahead of playback by an arbitrary
amount. This is a big problem for the user, because the displayed
playback time and actual time don't match (depending on cache size),
and relative seeking is broken completely.
Attempt to fix this by saving the linear timestamp all N bytes (where
N = BYTE_META_CHUNK_SIZE = 16 KB). This is a rather crappy hack, but
also very effective.
A proper solution would probably try to offset the playback time with
the packet PTS, but that would require at least knowing how the PTS can
wrap (e.g. how many bits is the PTS comprised of, and what are the
maximum and reset values). Another solution would be putting the cache
between libdvdread and the filesystem/DVD device, but that can't be done
currently. (Also isn't that the operating system's responsibility?)
This was probably done this way to ensure that after a successful seek,
the reported stream position is the same as the requested seek position.
But it doesn't make too much sense, since both stream->pos and the
stream implementation's internal position will go out of sync.
The stream EOF flag should only be set when trying to read past the end
of the file (relatively similar to unix files). Always clear the EOF
flag on seeking. Trying to set it "properly" (depending whether data is
available at seek destination or not) might be an ok idea, but would
require attention to too many special cases. I suspect before this
commit (and in MPlayer etc. too), the EOF flag wasn't handled
consistently when the stream position was at the end of the file.
Fix one special case in ebml.c and stream_skip(): this function couldn't
distinguish between at-EOF and past-EOF either.
EOF should be set when reading more data fails. The stream
implementations have nothing to say here and should behave correctly
when trying to read when EOF was actually read.
Even when seeking, a correct EOF flag should be guaranteed. stream_seek()
(or actually stream_seek_long()) calls stream_fill_buffer() at least
once, which also updates the EOF flag.
This function was called in various places. Most time, it was used
before a seek. In other cases, the purpose was apparently resetting
the EOF flag. As far as I can see, this makes no sense anymore. At
least the stream_reset() calls paired with stream_seek() are completely
pointless. A seek will either seek inside the buffer (and reset the
EOF flag), or do an actual seek and reset all state.
