Just use makeFirstResponder on the mpv events view from client code
if you need the built in keyboard events (this is easier for dealing with view
nesting).
The symlink trick made waf go crazy (deleting source files, getting
tangled up in infinite recursion... I wish I was joking). This means we
still can't build the client API examples in a reasonable way using the
include files of the local repository (instead of globally installed
headers). Not building them at all is better than deleting source files.
Instead, provide some manual instructions how to build each example
(except for the Qt examples, which provide qmake project files).
The Qt example already does this. I hoped this was restricted to
QApplication only, but apparently Qt repeated this mistake with
QGuiApplication (QGuiApplication was specifically added for QtQuick at a
much later point, even though QApplication inherits from it).
We still keep the window pointer, because we want to call
QQuickWindow::resetOpenGLState() (which runs on the rendering thread
only). Interesting mess...
This one avoids use of a FBO. It's less flexible, because it uses works
around the whole QML rendering API. It seems to be the only way to get
OpenGL rendering without any indirections, though.
Parts of this example were insipired by Qt's "Squircle" example.
Also add a README file with a short description of each example, to
reduce the initial confusing.
The examples simple.c and cocoabasic.m can be compiled without
installing libmpv. But also, they didn't use the correct include path
libmpv programs normally use, so they couldn't be built with a properly
installed system-libmpv. That's pretty bad for examples, which are
supposed to show how to use libmpv correctly.
So do some bullshit that symlinks libmpv to a "mpv" include directory
under the build directory. This name-mismatch is a direct consequence of
the bullshit done in 499a6758 (requested in #539 for dumb reasons). (We
don't want to name the client API headers directory "mpv", because that
would be too unspecific, and clashes with having the mpv binary in the
same directory.)
If you have spaces or other "unusual" characters in your paths, the
build will break, because I couldn't find out where waf hides its
function to escape shell parameters (or a way to invoke programs
without involving the shell). Neither does such a thing to be
documented, nor do they seem to have a clear way to do this in
their code.
This also doesn't compile the Qt examples, because everything becomes
even more terrible from there on.
C++ is the worst language ever, and allows throwing any type, even if it
doesn't make sense. In this case, we were throwing char*, which the
runtime typically treats as opaque, instead of printing it as message if
such an exception was not caught.
Until now, calling mpv_opengl_cb_uninit_gl() at a "bad moment" could
make the whole thing to explode. The API user was asked to avoid such
situations by calling it only in "good moments". But this was probably a
bit too subtle and could easily be overlooked.
Integrate the approach the qml example uses directly into the
implementation. If the OpenGL context is to be unitialized, forcefully
disable video, and block until this is done.
Use queued signals instead of QEvent for the wakeup notification. This
is slightly nicer, and reduces the chance that the event (QEvent::User)
could clash with other code using the same event.
Also switch to modern connect() syntax.
Destruction (e.g. when closing the window) was a bit broken. This commit
fixes some possible crashes, and should make lifetime management
relatively sane. (Still a bit complex, though. Maybe this code should be
moved into a tiny library.)
QtQuick runs the renderer on a separate thread. This thread is rather
loosely connected to the main thread. The loose separation is enforced
by the API, which also makes coordination of initialization and
destruction harder. Throw refcounting at the problem, which fixes it.
The refcounting wrapper introduced in the previous commit is used for
this.
Also contains some general cleanups.
This adds API to libmpv that lets host applications use the mpv opengl
renderer. This is a more flexible (and possibly more portable) option to
foreign window embedding (via --wid).
This assumes that methods like context sharing and multithreaded OpenGL
rendering are infeasible, and that a way is needed to integrate it with
an application that uses a single thread to render everything.
Add an example that does this with QtQuick/qml. The example is
relatively lazy, but still shows how relatively simple the integration
is. The FBO indirection could probably be avoided, but would require
more work (and would probably lead to worse QtQuick integration, because
it would have to ignore transformations like rotation).
Because this makes mpv directly use the host application's OpenGL
context, there is no platform specific code involved in mpv, except
for hw decoding interop.
main.qml is derived from some Qt example.
The following things are still missing:
- a way to do better video timing
- expose GL renderer options, allow changing them at runtime
- support for color equalizer controls
- support for screenshots
This allows mpv's view to take key and send events to mpv's core.
To set key status correctly, clients must call -[NSWindow selectNextKeyView:]
during reconfig on the main thread. All is 'documented' in the cocoabasic
example.
If someone knows a better way to handle giving key to the embedded view,
let me know!
After @frau's split of macosx_events from macosx_application, `is_cplayer' is
not needed anymore. At the moment only global events such as Media Keys and
Apple Remote work, because the VO-level ones were hardcoded to be disabled.
(that will be fix in a later commit ).
For the purpose of demonstration.
Also make the windows larger. I'm not exactly sure how Qt determines
the default window sizes, but here they are a bit tiny, so force them
larger.
This is just temporary code but is a good base for future work (and baby
steps are required for these changes). The 'final destination' is embedding
the video view into any NSView but that requires some more work (the mechanism
will be the same: pass the view's pointer casted to int64_t through -wid).
For instance we will need to remove as much usage of the window instance
as possible, and use nil guards where not possible. For this reason I will
remove stuff like the mission control fullscreen feature (it's a cute feature
but annoying to support and quite limited, go make your GUIs), and a way to
lookup the current screen directly from the NSView absolute coordinates
(this is needed for ICC detection mostly, and reporting back the screen to
mpv's core).
Moreover the current view.m will need to be separated into 2 views: the actual
video view that will be embedded, and a parent view that will not be embedded
and will be responsibile for tracking events.
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.
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.
