Matroska makes it pretty hard to resync correctly on broken files:
random data returns "valid" EBML IDs with a high probability, and when
trying to skip them it's likely that you skip a random amount of data
(instead of considering the element length invalid).
Improve upon this by skipping known level 1 elements only. Consider
everything else invalid and call the resync code. This might result in
annoying behavior when Matroska adds new level 1 elements, although it
won't be particularly harmful. Matroska doesn't really allow us to do
better (even mkvtoolnix explicitly checks for known level 1 elements).
Since we now don't always want to combine EBML element skipping and
resyncing, remove ebml_read_skip_or_resync_cluster(), and make
ebml_read_skip() more tolerant against skipping broken elements.
Also, don't resync when reading sub-elements, and instead do resyncing
when reading them results in an error.
Until now, corrupted files were detected if the size of an element (that
should be skipped) was larger than the remaining file. This still could
skip larger regions of the file itself if the broken size happened to be
within the file.
Change it so that it's never allowed to skip outside the parent's
element.
The TV code pretends to be part of stream/, but it's actually demuxer
code too. The audio_in code is shared between the TV code and
stream_radio.c, so stream_radio.c needs a small hack until stream.c is
converted.
In general, this warning can hint to actual bugs. We don't enable it
yet, because it would conflict with some unmerged code, and we should
check with clang too (this commit was done by testing with gcc).
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.
Fixes test7.mkv from the Matroska test file collection, as well as some
real broken files I've found in the wild. (Unfortunately, true recovery
requires resetting the decoders and playback state with a manual seek,
but it's still better than just exiting.)
If there are broken EBML elements, try harder to skip them correctly.
Do this by searching for the next cluster element. The cluster element
intentionally has a long ID, so it's a suitable element for
resynchronizing (mkvmerge does something similar).
We know that data is corrupt if the ID or length fields of an element
are malformed. Additionally, if skipping an unknown element goes past
the end of the file, we assume it's corrupt and undo the seek. Do this
because it often happens that corrupt data is interpreted as correct
EBML elements. Since these elements will have a ridiculous values in
their length fields due to the large value range that is possible
(0-2^56-2), they will go past the end of the file. So instead of
skipping them (which would result in playback termination), try to
find the next cluster instead. (We still skip unknown elements that
are within the file, as this is needed for correct operation. Also, we
first execute the seek, because we don't really know where the file
ends. Doing it this way is better for unseekable streams too, because
it will still work in the non-error case.)
This is done as special case in the packet reading function only. On
the other hand, that's the only part of the file that's read after
initialization is done.
Finish renaming directories and moving files. Adjust all include
statements to make the previous commit compile.
The two commits are separate, because git is bad at tracking renames
and content changes at the same time.
Also take this as an opportunity to remove the separation between
"common" and "mplayer" sources in the Makefile. ("common" used to be
shared between mplayer and mencoder.)
Tis drops the silly lib prefixes, and attempts to organize the tree in
a more logical way. Make the top-level directory less cluttered as
well.
Renames the following directories:
libaf -> audio/filter
libao2 -> audio/out
libvo -> video/out
libmpdemux -> demux
Split libmpcodecs:
vf* -> video/filter
vd*, dec_video.* -> video/decode
mp_image*, img_format*, ... -> video/
ad*, dec_audio.* -> audio/decode
libaf/format.* is moved to audio/ - this is similar to how mp_image.*
is located in video/.
Move most top-level .c/.h files to core. (talloc.c/.h is left on top-
level, because it's external.) Park some of the more annoying files
in compat/. Some of these are relicts from the time mplayer used
ffmpeg internals.
sub/ is not split, because it's too much of a mess (subtitle code is
mixed with OSD display and rendering).
Maybe the organization of core is not ideal: it mixes playback core
(like mplayer.c) and utility helpers (like bstr.c/h). Should the need
arise, the playback core will be moved somewhere else, while core
contains all helper and common code.
