As requested I guess. It behaves quite similar to the --loop* options.
Not quite happy with the idea that 1) the option is mutated on each
operation (but at least it's consistent with --loop* and doesn't require
more properties), and 2) the ab-loop command will do nothing once all
loop iterations are done. As a concession, the OSD shows something about
"disabled".

Directories inside ~~/scripts/ are now loaded as scripts, so don't use
it also for modules. Now there are no default module paths.
To compensate, we now try to run ~~/.init.js right after defaults.js,
so the user may extend the js init procedure via this script, e.g. for
adding default paths to mp.module_paths .
While mpv normally uses the text a key produces (as opposed to physical
key mappings), this is different with the keypad. This is for the sake
of making it possible to distinguish between these keys and the normal
number keys on the left side of a full size keyboard.
There were complaints that the keypad doesn't interact with console.lua,
so manually map them. This ignores numlock (behaves as if it's always
on), and maps KP_DEC to "." (even though it's mapped to "," on some
keyboards). The /*-+ keys produce ASCII on mpv (at least with X11) as an
inexplicable inconsistency, so there are no mappings for these.
Fixes: #7431
Due to asynchronicity, we generally can't guarantee that a video frame
matches up with other events such as playback time change exactly (since
decoding, presentation, and property update all happen at different
times). This is a complaint in the referenced bug report, where
screenshot filenames in each-frame screenshot did not use the correct
timestamp, and instead was lagging behind by 1 frame.
But in this case, synchronicity was already pretty much forced with wait
calls. The only problem was that the playback time was updated at a
later time, which results in the observed 1 frame lag. Fix this by
moving the place where the screenshot is triggered in this mode.
Normal screenshots may still have the old problem. There is no effort
made to guarantee the timestamps absolutely line up, same as with the
OSD. (If you want a guarantee, you need to use a video filter, such as
libavfilter's drawtext. These will obviously use the proper timestamp,
instead of going through the somewhat asynchronous property etc. system
in the player frontend.)
Fixes: #7433
The script was set up to only call on_update when the changelist
was non-empty. However, since the size operator does not operate
on dicts, it always returned 0 (which is truthy), thus on_update
would always be called when the script-opts property changed.
When switching between having a video visible or not,
stats.lua now picks up the required formatting changes
for the cache stats page to display correctly.
The recently added feature to load scripts from a sub-directory. A
problem was that the script name was still derived from the actual
script source file that was loaded, which was always "main.lua" (or
similar), resulting in "main" as name.
Fix this by using the directory name.
One odd corner case is that you can do "--script=/path/foo////". As by
POSIX semantics, the extra "/" are ignored. However, the newly added
code strips only one separator, so mp_basename() returns "" (as it
should), and the empty name makes mp_new_client() fail in turn. I don't
really care about this, just don't do it. But mp_new_client() failure
was silent (since it normally never happens), so add at least an error
message for that, instead of being entirely silent.
It appears Lua's package paths try to load .lua files from the current
working directory. Not only that, but also shared libraries.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FUCKING DOING?
mpv isn't setting this package path; currently it's only extending it.
In any sane world, this wouldn't be a default. Most programs use
essentially random working directories and don't change it.
I cannot comprehend what bullshit about "convenience" or whatever made
them do something this broken and dangerous. Thousands of programs using
Lua out there will try to randomly load random code from random
directories.
In mpv's case, this is so security relevant, because mpv is normally
used from the command line, and you will most likely actually change
into your media directory or whatever with the shell, and play a file
from there. No, you don't want to load a (probably downloaded) shared
library from this directory if a script try to load a system lib with
the same name or so.
I'm not sure why LUA_PATH_DEFAULT in luaconf.h (both upstream and the
Debian version) put "./?.lua" at the end, but in any case, trying to
load a module that doesn't exist nicely lists all package paths in
order, and confirms it tries to load files from the working directory
first (anyone can try this). Even if it didn't, this would be
problematic at best.
Note that scripts are _not_ sandboxed. They're allowed to load system
libraries, which is also why we want to keep the non-idiotic parts of
the package paths.
Attempt to fix this by filtering out relative paths. This is a bit
fragile and not very great for something security related, but probably
the best we can do without having to make assumptions about the target
system file system layout. Also, someone else can fix this for Windows.
Also replace ":" with ";" (for the extra path). On a side note, this
extra path addition is just in this function out of laziness, since
I'd rather not have 2 functions with edit the package path.
mpv in default configuration (i.e. no external scripts) is probably not
affected. All builtin scripts only "require" preloaded modules, which,
in a stroke of genius by the Lua developers, are highest priority in the
load order. Otherwise, enjoy your semi-remote code execution bug.
Completely unrelated this, I'm open for scripting languages and
especially implementations which are all around better than Lua, and are
suited for low footprint embedding.
This simply didn't set the direction flag in most situations, which
meant the timestamps used in the subtitle renderer were nonsense,
leading to invisible subtitles.
This works only for text subtitles that are cached in the ASS_Track
state. Reading new subtitles is broken because the demuxer layer has
trouble returning subtitle packets backwards, and I think for rendering
bitmap subtitles, the pruning direction would have to be adjusted. (Not
sure if reversing the timestamps before the subtitle renderer backend is
even the right thing to do. At least for sd_ass.c, it seems to make
sense, because it caches subtitles with "normal" timestamps.)
The intention is to provide a slightly nicer way to distribute scripts.
For example, you could put multiple source files into the directory, and
then import them from the actual script file (this is still
unimplemented).
At first I wanted to require a config file (because you need to know at
least which scripting backend it should use). This wouldn't have been
too hard (could have reused/abused the mpv config file parsing
mechanism, and I already had working code that was just 2 function
calls). But probably better to do this without new config files, because
it might become a pain in the distant future.
So this just probes for "main.lua", "main.js", etc., until an existing
file is found.
Another important change is that this skips all directory entries whose
name starts with ".". This automatically excludes the "." and ".."
special directories, and is probably useful to exclude random crap that
might be lying around in the directory (such as editor temporary files,
or OSX, in its usual hrmful, annoying, and idiotic modus operandi,
sharting all over any directories opened by "Finder").
Although the changelog mentions the docs, they're added only in a later
commit.
I noticed an oversight when using ytdl-hook -- if the path is a URL, we
try to `stat()` it, which obviously doesn't work. To mitigate that,
don't check or update mtimes for URLs.
this deprecates the old cocoa backend only option and moves it to the
general macos ones. add support for the new option in the cocoa-cb
layer creation and use the new option in the olde cocoa backend.
Fixes#7272
It's ridiculous that --script=something.dumb does not cause an error.
Make it error, and extend this behavior to the scripts/ sub-dir in the
mpv config dir.
I think there was a user complaint that this does not restore the
playlist position.
There's no reason not to save the "state" for unseekable streams; what
we probably don't want is to make restoring trying to issue a seek. So
just don't save the position. (Although we probably could anyway, since
seek requests on unseekable streams are ignored now.)
Fixes: issue number forgotten, if it even exists.
Cache display updates, especially when it's bigger than few minute,
could have been be very infrequent to the point that one is not sure
if it updates at all.
Reduce the 10% change-threshold to 5% and add another threshold of 5s.
There are two improvements here:
1) Correct the right-side padding on the title box. This was messed
up previously because I was passing the title box width when I
should be passing the x coordinate. I've also increased the
spacing to separate the title from the window controls more
clearly.
2) I'ved added a mouse tracking area over the title bar so that the
osc doesn't disappear if you hover over the title box. This didn't
work previously because the input area only covers the actual
window controls. The implementation here is simplified in that
it's only a mouse area and not an input area. This is enough to
keep the osc visible, but it won't stop the mouse pointer
disappearing. Fixing that requires a full input area which, for
now, I will say isn't worth the effort.
It's a bit unintuitive today when you use the un-maximise control
while fullscreened. Depending on the VO in use, this might silently
change the maximise state without any visible effect, or it might
do nothing. It's less surprising if the control exits the fullscreen
state.
Note that the exact behaviour is still VO dependent. If the window
was maximised before being fullscreened, it might exit fullscreen
back to maximised or back to regular window mode.
I thought about trying to explicitly control that behaviour but
it makes the osc code weird and probably wouldn't work all the time.
This code assumed that the function is only called from the playloop
itself (and since property notification is done at the end of it, i.e.
before sleeping, it obviously would not have needed to wake up the
core).
But this function is actually called from some comments (such as
playlist-move), so this assumption was incorrect. Use the same method as
the other function.
Untested.
Fixes: #7339 (probably)
This matches lua's 11b9315b but with the lagacy field names which the
js code used previously.
Currently the property always returns an object (with dummy/last/null
field values if there are no dimensions), but the code is ready for
a future case where it might return null if there are no dimensions - at
which case it will forward the null, breaking backward compatibility for
a better API.
The idea is that if the player is resized, we do not delay redrawing
(which is normally done to limit the redraw rate to something
reasonable).
Not sure if this even does anything. For one, reacting to osd-dimensions
changes is cleaner than just polling the screen size with the next tick
event, and hoping that resizes generate tick events for whatever
logically unrelated reasons.
check_obj_resize() in sub/osd.c calls mp_client_broadcast_event(), which
calls notify_property_events(). This is pretty unexpected, because
check_obj_resize() may be called from the VO thread. While that's sort
of awful, it seems to be OK locking-wise. But it breaks an assumption in
notify_property_events() that the core doesn't need to be woken up,
which could possibly lead to a missed/delayed property update (although
rather unlikely).
Fix this by explicitly waking up the core when it's called from the OSD
code.
This is a gross hack for the shitty design of how VO properties are
handled (which was fine with MPlayer, but became increasingly a shit tub
with mpv's VO thread).
The problem here is that console.lua reads display-hidpi-scale on every
render, but which may take a long time for video timing and vsync
blocking. It will also block the core, making osc.lua unable to react to
window resizing quickly enough.
This should be solved by not using the "classic" blocking VOCTRL
mechanism, and instead side-stepping it with something that doesn't
require any waiting (like for example the "fullscreen" property does).
But this require more thinking and work my "brain" can handle at the
moment. So for now add a shitty hack that will cause a lot of problems,
and which will have to be replaced later. Most importantly, it'll break
theoretic support for multiple screens with different DPI, or runtime
DPI changes. Possibly could affect the Cocoa backend; the X11 isn't
dynamic enough by nature, and other backends do not implement this.
See previous commit.
A nice side-effect is that mp.get_osd_margins() is not a special
Lua-only thing anymore. I didn't test whether this function still works
as expected, though.
This "bundles" all OSD properties. It also makes some previously
Lua-only values available (Lua has mp.get_osd_margins(), unsure if
anything uses it).
The main intention is actually to allow retrieving all fields in an
"atomic" way. (Could introduce a mechanism on the level of the mpv
client API to do this, but doing ti ad-hoc all the time like this commit
is easier.)
The change was not propagated to the OSD/subtitle code, since that still
uses an "old" method. Change it so that the propagation is actually
performed.
(One could argue the OSD/subtitle code should use other ways to update
the options, but that would probably be more effort for now.)
Currently, the activation and deactivation of input handling is done
inside the render() loop, but this does not run when the osc mode is
`never` - which does make sense.
That means that if you are cycling the visibility mode, the input
state will be whatever it was at the time of the mode change. And,
as our modes are ordered `auto` -> `always` -> `never`, the input
state will be enabled when you cycle to `never`.
There are various ways you can imagine fixing this, and in this
change I propose we reset the input state to disabled on a mode
change, and then let render() re-enable input if that's appropriate.
Fixes#7298.
When using --keep-open, and the end of the file is reached, the player's
"pause" property is set to true. Attempting to set it to false reverts
it back to true immediately. That's how it's designed, for better or
worse.
Running "seek -10 ; set pause no" did not work, because the seek is
first queued and pause is unset, but then the decoding functions
determine that EOF is still a thing, and "mpctx->stop_play =
AT_END_OF_FILE;" is set again. handle_keep_open() then sets pause again.
Only then the seek is actually run.
Fix this by not setting stop_play if a seek is queued.
Although a linked list was ideal at first, there are cases where it
sucks, and became increasingly awkward (with the mpv command API
preferring integer indexes to access the list). In future, we probably
want to add more playlist-related functionality, so better change it to
an array now.
An array isn't always ideal either. Since playlist entries are still
separate objects (because in some cases you need a stable "iterator" to
it), but you still need to efficiently get the next/previous playlist
entry, there's a pl_index field, that needs to be maintained. E.g.
adding an entry at the start of the playlist => update the pl_index
field for all other entries. Well, it's not really worth to do something
more complicated to avoid these things.
This commit is probably buggy as shit. It's not like I bothered to test
everything. That's _your_ role.
It's not really great. But I think it's good enough to save someone
who's lost. Most importantly, it should become obvious _what_ the
console expects (input commands), and how to exit it.
Would be nice if we could show some documentation, or give a link to
documentation, but that's out of scope and/or not easy.
I considered implementing the "help" command as builtin command in
command.c. On the other hand, this could not show console.lua specific
help, so I implemented it in console.lua. The ad-hoc command parsing
(that sort-of mirrors mpv input command syntax) for the "help" command
is probably the worst part of this.
