I think this is better. On the other hand, this is a behavior change.
The EDL "spec" says that unknown fields are igored. But strictly
speaking, unknown headers are not "fields", but unknown entities.
EDL "headers" were always an afterthought, and kind of hacked on top of
the existing code. Improve it slightly, and make it follow the
conventions of the normal parsing. Basically use the same code structure
for them, just that they use different field names.
This merges separate audio and video tracks into one virtual stream,
which helps the mpv caching layer. See previous EDL commit for details.
It's apparently active for most of evil Silicon Valley giant's streaming
videos.
Initial tests seem to work fine, except it happens pretty often that
playback goes into buffering immediately even when seeking within a
cached range, because there is not enough forward cache data yet to
fully restart playback. (Or something like this.)
The audio stream title used to be derived from track.format_note; this
commit stops doing so. It seemed pointless anyway. If really necessary,
it could be restored by adding new EDL headers.
Note that we explicitly don't do this with subtitle tracks. Subtitle
tracks still have a chance with on-demand loading or loading in the
background while video is already playing; merging them with EDL would
prevent this. Currently, subtitles are still added in a "blocking"
manner, but in theory this could be loosened. For example, the Lua API
already provides a way to run processes asynchronously, which could be
used to add subtitles during playback. EDL will probably be never
flexible enough to provide this. Also, subtitles are downloaded at
once, rather than streamed like audio and video.
Still missing: disabling EDL's pointless chapter generation, and
propagating download speed statistics through the EDL wrapper.
The ytdl wrapper can resolve web links to playlists. This playlist is
passed as big memory:// blob, and will contain further quite normal web
links. When playback of one of these playlist entries starts, ytdl is
called again and will resolve the web link to a media URL again.
This didn't work if playlist entries resolved to EDL URLs. Playback was
rejected with a "potentially unsafe URL from playlist" error. This was
completely weird and unexpected: using the playlist entry directly on
the command line worked fine, and there isn't a reason why it should be
different for a playlist entry (both are resolved by the ytdl wrapper
anyway). Also, if the only EDL URL was added via audio-add or sub-add,
the URL was accessed successfully.
The reason this happened is because the playlist entries were marked as
STREAM_SAFE_ONLY, and edl:// is not marked as "safe". Playlist entries
passed via command line directly are not marked, so resolving them to
EDL worked.
Fix this by making the ytdl hook set load-unsafe-playlists while the
playlist is parsed. (After the playlist is parsed, and before the first
playlist entry is played, file-local options are reset again.) Further,
extend the load-unsafe-playlists option so that the playlist entries are
not marked while the playlist is loaded.
Since playlist entries are already verified, this should change nothing
about the actual security situation.
There are now 2 locations which check load_unsafe_playlists. The old one
is a bit redundant now. In theory, the playlist loading code might not
be the only code which sets these flags, so keeping the old code is
somewhat justified (and in any case it doesn't hurt to keep it).
In general, the security concept sucks (and always did). I can for
example not answer the question whether you can "break" this mechanism
with various combinations of archives, EDL files, playlists files,
compromised sites, and so on. You probably can, and I'm fully aware that
it's probably possible, so don't blame me.
This commit adds an extension to mpv EDL, which basically allows you to
do the same as --audio-file, --external-file, etc. in a single EDL file.
This is a relatively quick & dirty implementation. The dirty part lies
in the fact that several shortcuts are taken. For example, struct
timeline now forms a singly linked list, which is really weird, but also
means the other timeline using demuxers (cue, mkv) don't need to be
touched. Also, memory management becomes even worse (weird object
ownership rules that are just fragile WTFs). There are some other
dubious small changes, mostly related to the weird representation of
separate streams.
demux_timeline.c contains the actual implementation of the separate
stream handling. For the most part, most things that used to be on the
top level are now in struct virtual_source, of which one for each
separate stream exists. This is basically like running multiple
demux_edl.c in parallel. Some changes could strictly speaking be split
into a separate commit, such as the stream_map type change.
Mostly untested. Seems to work for the intended purpose. Potential for
regressions for other timeline uses (like ordered chapters) is probably
low. One thing which could definitely break and which I didn't test is
the pseudo-DASH fragmented EDL code, of which ytdl can trigger various
forms in obscure situations. (Uh why don't we have a test suite.)
Background:
The intention is to use this for the ytdl wrapper. A certain streaming
site from a particularly brain damaged and plain evil Silicon Valley
company usually provides streams as separate audio and video streams.
The ytdl wrapper simply does use audio-add (i.e. adding it as external
track, like with --audio-file), which works mostly fine. Unfortunately,
mpv manages caching completely separately for external files. This has
the following potential problems:
1. Seek ranges are rendered incorrectly. They always use the "main"
stream, in this case the video stream. E.g. clicking into a cached range
on the OSC could trigger a low level seek if the audio stream is
actually not cached at the target position.
2. The stream cache bloats unnecessarily. Each stream may allocate the
full configured maximum cache size, which is not what the user intends
to do. Cached ranges are not pruned the same way, which creates disjoint
cache ranges, which only use memory and won't help with fast seeking or
playback.
3. mpv will try to aggressively read from both streams. This is done
from different threads, with no regard which stream is more important.
So it might happen that one stream starves the other one, especially if
they have different bitrates.
4. Every stream will use a separate thread, which is an unnecessary
waste of system resources.
In theory, the following solutions are available (this commit works
towards D):
A. Centrally manage reading and caching of all streams. A single thread
would do all I/O, and decide from which stream it should read next. As
long as the total TCP/socket buffering is not too high, this should be
effective to avoid starvation issues. This can also manage the cached
ranges better. It would also get rid of the quite useless additional
demuxer threads. This solution is conceptually simple, but requires
refactoring the entire demuxer middle layer.
B. Attempt to coordinate the demuxer threads. This would maintain a
shared cache and readahead state to solve the mentioned problems
explicitly. While this sounds simple and like an incremental change,
it's probably hard to implement, creates more messy special cases,
solution A. seems just a better and simpler variant of this. (On the
other hand, A. requires refactoring more code.)
C. Render an intersection of the seek ranges across all streams. This
fixes only problem 1.
D. Merge all streams in a dedicated wrapper demuxer. The general demuxer
layer remains unchanged, and reading from separate streams is handled as
special case. This effectively achieves the same as A. In particular,
caching is simply handled by the usual demuxer cache layer, which sees
the wrapper demuxer as a single stream of interleaved packets. One
implementation variant of this is to reuse the EDL infrastructure, which
this commit does.
All in all, solution A would be preferable, because it's cleaner and
works for all external streams in general.
Some previous commit tried to prepare for implementing solution A. This
could still happen. But it could take years until this is finally
seriously started and finished. In any case, this commit doesn't block
or complicate such attempts, which is also why it's the way to go.
It's worth mentioning that original mplayer handles external files by
creating a wrapper demuxer. This is like a less ideal mixture of A. and
D. (The similarity with A. is that extending the mplayer approach to be
fully dynamic and without certain disadvantages caused by the wrapper
would end up with A. anyway. The similarity with D. is that due to the
wrapper, no higher level code needs to be changed.)
This warns about player/audio.c:253 with gcc 8.2.0. Although this
warning could be useful to check the worst case estimation, the compiler
doesn't explain how it gets its dumb, bogus result, so this is useless.
You'd just end up trying to make the compiler happy for no reason.
struct stream used to include the stream buffer, including peek buffer,
inline in the struct. It could not be resized, which means the maximum
peek size was set in stone. This meant demux_lavf.c could peek only so
much data.
Change it to use a dynamic buffer. Because it's possible, keep the
inline buffer for default buffer sizes (which are basically always used
outside of file opening). It's unknown whether it really helps with
anything. Probably not.
This is also the fallback plan in case we need something like the old
stream cache in order to deal with mp4 + unseekable http: the code can
now be easily changed to use any buffer size.
The only thing left is the notification for track switching. Just get
rid of that.
There's probably no real reason to get rid of control(), but why not. I
think I was actually trying to do some real work but fuck that.
Subtitles (and a few other file types, like playlists) are not streamed,
but fully read on opening. This means keeping the file handle or network
socket open is a waste of resources and could cause other weird
behavior. This is why there's a hack to close them after opening.
Change this hack to make the demuxer itself do this, which is less
weird. (Until recently, demuxer->stream ownership was more complex,
which is why it was done this way.)
There is some evil shit due to a huge ownership/lifetime mess of various
objects. Especially EDL (the currently only nested demuxer case)
requires being careful about mp_cancel and passing down stream pointers.
As one defensive programming measure, stop accessing the "stream"
variable in open_given_type(), even where it would still work. This
includes removing a redundant line of code, and removing the peak call,
which should not be needed anymore, as the remaining demuxers do this
mostly correctly.
I always wanted to get rid of this, because it makes the ownership rules
for the stream pointer really awkward. demux_edl.c was the only
remaining user of this. Replace it with a semi-clever idea: the init
segment shit can be used to pass the "file" contents as memory block,
and "memory://" itself provides an empty stream. I have no idea if this
actually works, because I didn't immediately find a test stream (would
have to be some youtube DASH shit).
Instead of going through those weird DEMUXER_CTRLs, query this
information directly. I'm not sure which kind of brain damage made me
use CTRLs for these. Since there are no other DEMUXER_CTRLs that make
sense for the frontend, remove the remaining infrastructure for them
too.
The stream size return was the only thing that still required doing
STREAM_CTRLs from frontend through the demuxer layer. This can be done
much easier, so rip it out. Also rip out the now unused infrastructure
for STREAM_CTRLs via demuxer layer.
Apparently this was so that when playing a video file from a .rar file,
it would load external subtitles with the same name (instead of looking
for mpv's rar:// mangled URL). This was requested on github almost 5
years ago. Seems like a weird feature, and I don't care. Drop it,
because it complicates some in progress change.
This code set pkt->stream to a value which I'm not sure whether it's
correct. A recent commit overwrote it with a value that is definitely
correct.
There appears to be an off by one error. No fucking clue whether this
was somehow correct, but applying an apparent fix does not seem to break
anything, so whatever.
EDLs can be provided either as external file, or "inline" as a big
edl:// URL. There is no difference between them, except if it's loaded
from an external file, there is some weird filename sanitation going on
(see fix_filenames() in demux_edl.c). It seems this is intended to be a
security mechanism, but probably makes no sense at all.
Note that playlists are allowed to access anything locally. One
difference to playlists is that the EDL code lacks the "security"
mechanism when accessing playlist entries (see handling of the
playlist_entry.stream_flags field - EDL would need something similar),
so don't remove that, as I'm unaware of the exact consequences.
libarchive (sometimes affectionately called libcve) has this annoying
behavior that if after a "fatal" error, you do any operation on the
archive context other than querying the error and closing the context,
you get a free CVE. So we close the archive context in these situations.
This can set p->mpa to NULL, so code accessing this field needs to be
careful.
This was not considered in a certain code path, and a simple truncated
.rar file made it crash. Part of the problem was that the file inside
the rar was a mkv file, which triggered seeking when the demux_mkv
resync code encountered bogus data.
This is probably a regression from a relatively recent change to this
code (in any case mpv 0.29.1 doesn't crash).
Fix this by adding the check.
There's also a mechanism to reopen an archive context used to emulate
seeking, since most libarchive format handlers don't support this
natively. Add a reopen call to the codepath, because obviously it should
always be possible to seek back into a "working" area of the file.
There is a second bug with this: if reopening fails, we don't adjust the
current position back to 0, which in some cases means we accidentally
return bogus data to the reader when we shouldn't. Fix this by always
resetting the position on reopening.
It would always autodetect it based on the passed style block,
but as we are defining it - we might as well define it always.
(As far as I can see all decoders in libavcodec utilize 4+ style
blocks)
This one is probably not terribly obvious from just the valgrind log,
but a wayland dev explained it to me just a second ago. Whenever mpv
sends events to the screen with wl_display_dispatch, wayland internally
allocates memory to a struct wl_proxy object if a new id is found. Quite
a few more things happen to that proxy object, but eventually mpv stores
the data on the client-side in a wrapper type of struct (struct
wl_data_offer). mpv's data_device_listener keeps track of those proxies
and frees the memory when appropriate. Of course, mpv is constantly
sending events to the screen and does so until the user quits the
player. What happens here is that one final wl_display_dispatch is called
right before the user quits the player and before mpv's
data_device_listener can handle that object. So the result is that you
always have one extra dangling proxy that doesn't get properly freed.
The solution is to just simply call wl_data_offer_destroy before closing
the wl_display to free that final dangling wl_proxy.
Extending the client-allocated mpv_opengl_drm_params struct
constituted a break of ABI that could cause UB.
Create a clean break by deprecating "drm_params" and related structs
and enum values, and replacing it with "drm_params_v2".
Also fix some comments and code that wrongly assumed that open could
return any other negative number than -1 for failure.
This commit updates the libmpv version to 1.104
The intent of the line above the modified one code was raising the
amount of read data, so that many stream_peek() calls with small len
values would not degrade performance by effectively turning every
stream_peak() into an unbuffered read call to the stream implementation.
So this confusing looking MPMAX() was correct, but "chunk" could still
get beyond the buffer.
So just fix that and limit "chunk" correctly.
I'm not sure whether the commit referenced below accidentally removed
some intricate guarantee that this couldn't happen, since the code was
around since 2013. It could have relied on TOTAL_BUFFER_SIZE >
STREAM_BUFFER_SIZE. But not sure. I've rewritten all this code in my own
branch a year ago, so who knows.

Like hwdec_cuda, you get a big #ifdef mess if you try and keep the
OpenGL and Vulkan interops in the same file. So, I've refactored
them into separate files in a similar way.
Originally, vo_gpu/vo_opengl considered the case of Nvidia proprietary
drivers, which required vdpau/GLX, and Intel open source drivers, which
require vaapi/EGL. Since window creation and GPU context creation are
inseparable in mpv's internal API, it had to pick the correct API very
early, or hardware decoding wouldn't work. "x11probe" was introduced for
this reason. It created a GLX context (without showing the window yet),
and checked whether vdpau was available. If yes, it used GLX, if not, it
continued probing x11/EGL. (Obviously it couldn't always fail on GLX
without vdpau, which is why it was a separate "probe" backend.)
Years passed, and now the situation is different. Vdpau is dead. Nvidia
drivers and libavcodec now provide CUDA interop, which requires EGL, and
fixes some of the vdpau problems. AMD drivers now provide vaapi, which
generally works better than vdpau. Intel didn't change.
In particular, vaapi provides working HEVC Main10 support. In theory, it
should work on vdpau too, with quality reduction (no 10 bit surfaces),
but I couldn't get it to work.
So always prefer EGL. And suddenly hardware decoding works. This is
actually rather important, because HEVC is unfortunately on the rise,
despite shitty encoders and unoptimized decoders. The latter may mean
that hardware decoding works better than libavcodec.
This should have been done a long, long time ago.
In some cases, src.sig_peak remains undefined as 0, which was definitely
the case when using the OSD, since it never got passed through the usual
color space normalization process. Most robust work-around is to simply
force the normalization at the site where it's needed. This ensures this
value is always valid and defined, to make the peak-dependent logic in
these two functions always work.

The write functionality is almost unused (only encoding 2-pass mode uses
it to write the log file). Moreover, it almost makes no sense to use
this in a not local scenario. This change is just to prevent people from
duplicating the short write logic across all streams that happen to
support writing. Mostly untested; local log file writing still works.
