The main excuse for removing this is that LIVE555 deprecated the API
the mplayer implementation was using. The old API still seems to be
somewhat supported, but must be explicitly enabled at LIVE555
compilation, so mplayer won't always work on any user installation.
The implementation was also very messy, in C++, and FFmpeg support is
available as alternative.
Remove it completely.
libavformat replaces demux_audio completely. I don't know/care what
vivo (demux_viv) is. libavformat has a Real demuxer; it seems it works
slightly better, with a different set of bugs.
Remove the win32 loader - the win32 emulation layer, as well as the
code for using DirectShow/DMO/VFW codecs. Remove loading of xanim,
QuickTime, and RealMedia codecs.
The win32 emulation layer is based on a very old version of wine.
Apparently, wine code was copied and hacked until it was somehow able
to load a limited collection of binary codecs. It poked around in the
code segment of some known binary codecs to disable unsupported win32
API calls to make them work. Example from module.c:
for (i=0;i<5;i++) RVA(0x19e842)[i]=0x90; // make_new_region ?
for (i=0;i<28;i++) RVA(0x19e86d)[i]=0x90; // call__call_CreateCompatibleDC ?
for (i=0;i<5;i++) RVA(0x19e898)[i]=0x90; // jmp_to_call_loadbitmap ?
for (i=0;i<9;i++) RVA(0x19e8ac)[i]=0x90; // call__calls_OLE_shit ?
for (i=0;i<106;i++) RVA(0x261b10)[i]=0x90; // disable threads
Just to show how utterly insane this code is. You wouldn't want even
your worst enemy to have to maintain this. In fact, it seems nobody
made major changes to this code ever since it was committed.
Most formats can be decoded by libavcodecs these days, and the loader
couldn't be used on 64 bit platforms anyway. The same is (probably)
true for the other binary codecs.
General note about how support for win32 codecs could be added back:
It's not possible to replace the win32 loader code by using wine as
library, because modern wine can not be linked with native Linux
programs for certain reasons. It would be possible to to move DirectShow
video decoding into a separate process linked with wine, like the
CoreAVC-for-Linux patches do. There is also the mplayer-ww fork, which
uses the dshownative library to use DirectShow codecs on Windows.
Rename -slave to -slave-broken to prevent slave mode applications from
working. Do this to prevent horrible user experiences, in case someone
should attempt to try this version of mplayer with smplayer and others.
This also makes it clear that we don't intend to keep slave mode
compatibility, because the slave mode protocol is horrible and bad.
See the changes in options.rst for further reasons and comments.
Doesn't make sense because we broke/are going to break compatibility
with everything anyway.
Remove mechanism for warning the user against disabled options.
Remove colorspace alternative option values.
Options parsing used to be ambiguous, as in the splitting into option
and values pairs was ambiguous. Example:
-option -something
It wasn't clear whether -option actually takes an argument or not. The
string "-something" could either be a separate option, or an argument
to "-option". The code had to call the option specific parser function
to resolve this.
This made everything complicated and didn't even have a real use. There
was only one case where this was actually used: string lists
(m_option_type_string_list) and options based on it. That is because
this option type actually turns a single option into a proxy for several
real arguments, e.g. "vf*" can handle "-vf-add" and "-vf-clr". Options
suffixed with "-clr" are the only options of this group which take no
arguments.
This is ambiguous only with the "old syntax" (as shown above). The "new"
option syntax always puts option name and value into same argument.
(E.g. "--option=--something" or "--option" "--something".)
Simplify the code by making it statically known whether an option takes
a parameter or not with the flag M_OPT_TYPE_OLD_SYNTAX_NO_PARAM. If it's
set, the option parser assumes the option takes no argument.
The only real ambiguity left, string list options that end on "-clr",
are special cased in the parser.
Remove some duplication of the logic in the command line parser by
moving all argument splitting logic into split_opt(). (It's arguable
whether that can be considered code duplication, but now the code is a
bit simpler anyway. This might be subjective.)
Remove the "ambiguous" parameter from all option parsing related code.
Make m_config unaware of the pre-parsing concept.
Make most CONF_NOCFG options also CONF_GLOBAL (except those explicitly
usable as per-file options.)
This was already treated like CONF_GLOBAL.
Profiles can actually be file-local, as long as the profile sets file
local options only. Allow them to do so.
Remove variable that is only assigned but never used.

Teletext requires special OSD support. Because I can't even test
teletext, I can't restore support for it. Since teletext can be
considered ancient and obscure, and since it doesn't make sense to keep
the remaining teletext code without being able to use it, I'm removing
it.
While this was an interesting idea, it wasn't actually useful.
Basically it dumped the raw data (as requested by the demuxer) into a
file. The result is only useful if the file format was raw or maybe
some MPEG packet stream, but not with most modern file formats.
This was disabled by default, and could be enabled with -dr. It was
disabled by default because it was buggy: there were issues with OSD
corruption.
It wasn't entirely sane for OpenGL based VOs either. OpenGL can chose
to drop mapped pixel buffer objects, requiring the application to map
and fill the buffer again. But there was no mechanism in mplayer to
fill the lost buffer again. (It seems this rarely happened in practice,
though.)
On the other side, users liked the --dr flag, because it promised them
more speed. I'm not sure if it actually helped with speed, but it's
unlikely it had any real advantages on modern systems.
In order to evade the --dr cargo culting in mplayer config files, it's
best to get rid of it.
The --title option, which sets the GUI window caption, is now expanded
as slave mode property string (like osd_show_property_text). Make the
default value for --title include the filename. This makes a behavior
similar to --use-filename-title the default.
Remove the --use-filename-title option, as it's redundant now.
There are still various other RTSP implementations available, such as
libnemesi, live555, and libav. The mplayer native version was a huge
chunk of old unmaintained code.
This was done with the help of callcatcher [1]. Only functions which
are statically known to be unused are removed.
Some unused functions are not removed yet, because they might be needed
in the near future (such as open_output_stream for the encode branch).
There is one user visible change: the --subcc option did nothing, and is
removed with this commit.
[1] http://www.skynet.ie/~caolan/Packages/callcatcher.html
The code to format the playback time was duplicated a few times. There
were also minor differences in how the time is formatted. Remove most
of these differences. This also fixes a bug in the output of the
osd_show_progression command, introduced in 74e7a1e937.
There was some logic to display the percent position in the OSD status
for a short while after seeking. Remove that logic and always display
the percent position.
Make --osd-fractions a flag option. This removes the ability to show
the number of frames played since the start of the current second
(i.e. the fraction of the time was turned into a frame number). This
features wasn't so great anyway, because modern video file formats
don't always have a (valid) FPS set, and could lead to inaccurate
display.
Still to sort out:
Unfortunately, the terminal status is still formatted differently from
the OSD, and even worse, it has a completely different time source.
Not sure if I like how the status line looks now (it's a bit "full"?).
Maybe it will be changed again later.
This was intended for translating filenames from filesystem charset to
the terminal charset. Modern sane platforms use UTF-8 for everything,
and on Windows we use unicode APIs, so this is not needed anymore.
Remove filename_recode, all uses of it, options and configure checks
related to terminal output charset, and code that tries to determine
the same.
This had very limited usefulness, and you're much better off using
ffmpeg directly. Even if that should not be sufficient, the mplayer
encoding branch might provide a better way out.
Most of these demuxers and decoders are provided in better form by
libav, while the mplayer builtin ones are essentially unmaintained. The
only legimitate use case for not using the libav ones was working around
libav bugs or bugs related to the way mplayer uses libav. Instead of
trying to keep dead code alive, development effort should go into
improving libav or the mplayer libav glue code.
Note that the libav demuxer have been preferred over the mplayer builtin
ones for a while in mplayer2. There were some exceptions: playing DVDs
with dvdnav or playing network sources. (That's because some stream
modules and network.c requested explicit file formats, such as
DEMUXER_TYPE_MPEG_PS, which mapped to builtin demuxers.) With this
commit, they are switched to use libav. One caveat is that the requested
format is not passed to libavformat, instead we rely on the auto probing
to select the correct libav demuxer (see code in demux_open_stream()).
The old option parser required adding two options for each flag option:
e.g. "-video" and "-novideo". Later, code was added to handle the "no-"
prefix automatically for flag options. Remove the "no" prefixed options
entirely (unless they are not flag options, then just rename them), and
require the user to use the "no-" prefix instead.
You can't use the old prefix anymore.
Old: -novideo
New: --no-video
The code used for benchmarking and showing CPU stats in the status line
was inaccurate, misleading and fragile. The final nail in the coffin is
the fact that many libav decoders are multithreaded now, and mplayer
couldn't possibly measure the CPU time consumed by them.
Add the --untimed option. This makes the video untimed, just like
--benchmark did (still requires disabling audio synchronization).
This used /dev/rtc for timing. /dev/rtc root only by default, and I
have a hard time believing that the standard OS functions are not good
enough. (Even if not, support for POSIX high resolution timers should
be added instead, see clock_gettime() and others.)
mplayer tries to catch all signals by default, and displays a "nice"
crash message if a signal is caught. This is mostly useless for
diagnosing problems, and it's extremely fragile. It's likely to cause
more harm than it possibly solves.
Also remove the current_module variable, which was supposed to give a
hint which submodule was being run. This was far from accurate or
useful.
mplayer also caught SIG_CHILD, and tried to wait for any children. This
potentially gets rid of zombies, but I'm not sure which ones. The only
places that fork(), cache2.c and unrar_exec.c, seem to wait for their
child processes properly. Just get rid of it.
Note that we don't even catch SIGTERM. Maybe this will have to be added
back in order to re-enable screensavers and such when the user
terminates mplayer with ^C on the terminal.
The previous commit made libass the default OSD renderer. This commit
removes the disabled freetype renderer completely. The commits were
done separately to make rolling back easier, because using libass for
OSD rendering is a risky choice.
Also remove freetype/fontconfig/fribidi code. This is all done by
libass now.
If mplayer is compiled without libass, no OSD is displayed.
The OSD will now be rendered with libass. The old rendering code, which
used freetype/fontconfig and did text layout manually, is disabled. To
re-enable the old code, use the --disable-libass-osd configure switch.
Some switches do nothing with the new code enabled, such as -subalign,
-sub-bg-alpha, -sub-bg-color, and many more. (The reason is mostly that
the code for rendering unstyled subtitles with libass doesn't make any
attempts to support them. Some of them could be supported in theory.)
Teletext rendering is not implemented in the new OSD rendering code. I
don't have any teletext sources for testing, and since teletext is
being phased out world-wide, the need for this is questionable.
Note that rendering is extremely inefficient, mostly because the libass
output is blended with the extremely strange mplayer OSD format. This
could be improved at a later point.
Remove most OSD rendering from vo_aa.c, because that was extremely
hacky, can't be made work with osd_libass, and didn't work anyway in
my tests.
Internally, some cleanup is done. Subtitle and OSD related variable
declarations were literally all over the place. Move them to sub.h and
sub.c, which were hoarding most of these declarations already. Make the
player core in mplayer.c free of concerns like bitmap font loading.
The old OSD rendering code has been moved to osd_ft.c. The font_load.c
and font_load_ft.c are only needed and compiled if the old OSD
rendering code is configured.
This enables playing URLs from libquvi supported streaming sites
directly, e.g. "mplayer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...."
Anything opened with mplayer is checked with libquvi. If it looks like
a URL of a supported streaming site, libquvi is used to extract the
media URL, which is then passed to the lower level mplayer code
instead of the HTML URL. Hopefully the libquvi URL checker works well
enough that it doesn't cause any problems with normal URLs, files, or
whatever else mplayer's stream layer accepts.
Add the --libquvi-format option. the option value is directly passed to
libquvi as requested format. The only values that seem to work for any
streaming site seem to be "best" (best quality) and "default" (lowest
quality). The mplayer option defaults to "best" (overriding libquvi's
default).
Outstanding issues:
- Does libquvi checking every opened file really not cause problems?
Should there be a runtime option to disable libquvi use?
(Probably not an issue.)
- Should we check/set the supported protocol? By default libquvi has
support for all protocols enabled. In the worst case, it might return
an URL using a protocol not supported by mplayer, even though it
could extract URLs with other protocols too.
(Probably not an issue.)
- Somehow export metadata (like media title) to the mplayer frontend?
Conflicts:
.gitignore
bstr.c
cfg-mplayer.h
defaultopts.c
libvo/video_out.c
The conflict in bstr.c is due to uau adding a bstr_getline function in
commit 2ba8b91a97. This function already existed in this branch.
While uau's function is obviously derived from mine, it's incompatible.
His function preserves line breaks, while mine strips them. Add a
bstr_strip_linebreaks function, fix all other uses of bstr_getline, and
pick uau's implementation.
In .gitignore, change vo_gl3_shaders.h to use an absolute path
additional to resolving the merge conflict.
Add an alternate mode for option parser objects (struct m_config)
which is not inherently tied to any particular instance of an option
value struct. Instead, this type or parsers can be used to initialize
defaults in or parse values into a struct given as a parameter. They
do not have the save slot functionality used for main player
configuration. The new functionality will be used to replace the
separate subopt_helper.c parsing code that is currently used to parse
per-object suboptions in VOs etc.
Previously, option default values were handled by initializing them in
external code before creating a parser. This initialization was done
with constants even for dynamically-allocated types like strings.
Because trying to free a pointer to a constant would cause a crash
when trying to replace the default with another value, parser
initialization code then replaced all the original defaults with
dynamically-allocated copies. This replace-with-copy behavior is no
longer supported for new-style options; instead the option definition
itself may contain a default value (new OPTDEF macros), and the new
function m_config_initialize() is used to set all options to their
default values. Convert the existing initialized dynamically allocated
options in main config (the string options --dumpfile, --term-osd-esc,
--input=conf) to use this. Other non-dynamic ones could be later
converted to use this style of initialization too.
There's currently no public call to free all dynamically allocated
options in a given option struct because I intend to use talloc
functionality for that (make them children of the struct and free with
it).
Handle -v flags as a special case in command line preparsing stage,
and change the option entry into a dummy one. Specifying "v" in config
file no longer works (and the dummy entry shows an error in this
case); "msglevel" can still be used for that purpose. Because the flag
is now interpreted at an earlier parsing stage, it now affects the
printing of some early messages that were only affected by the
MPLAYER_VERBOSE environment variable before.
The main motivation for this change is to get rid of the last
CONF_TYPE_FUNC option.
Add option --cursor-autohide-delay to control the number of milliseconds
with no user interaction before the mouse cursor is hidden.
There are two negative values with useful special meanings:
* A value of -1 prevents the cursor from hiding (useful for users
with multiple displays).
* A value of -2 prevents the cursor from showing upon activity.
The default is 1 second to keep the behaviour consistent with the
past X11 backend implementation.
Remove the vo_mouse_autohide field as it was always true.
Remove the old EDL implementation that was activated with the --edl
option. It is mostly redundant and inferior compared to the newer
demux_edl support, though currently there's no support for using the
same EDL files with the new implementation and the mute functionality
of the old implementation is not supported. The main reason to remove
the old implementation at this point is that the mute functionality
would conflict with following audio volume handling changes, and
working on the old code would be a wasted effort in the long run as at
some point it would be removed anyway.
The --edlout functionality is kept for now, even though after this
commit there is no code that could directly read its output.
This adds the --screenshot-template option, which specifies a template
for the filename used for a screenshot. The '%' character is parsed as
format specifier. These format specifiers insert metadata into the
filename. For example, '%f' is replaced with the filename of the
currently played file.
The following format specifiers are available:
%n Insert sequence number (padded with 4 zeros), e.g. "0002".
%0Nn Like %n, but pad to N zeros (N = 0 to 9).
%n behaves like %04n.
%#n Like %n, but reset the sequence counter on every screenshot.
(Useful if other parts in the template make the resulting
filename already mostly unique.)
%#0Nn Use %0Nn and %#n at the same time.
%f Insert filename of the currently played video.
%F Like %f, but with stripped file extension ("." and rest).
%p Insert current playback time, in HH:MM:SS format.
%P Like %p, but adds milliseconds: HH:MM:SS.mmmm
%tX Insert the current local date/time, using the date format X.
X is a single letter and is passed to strftime() as "%X".
E.g. "%td" inserts the number of the current day.
%{prop} Insert the value of the slave property 'prop'.
E.g. %{filename} is the same as %f. If the property doesn't
exist or is not available, nothing is inserted, unless a
fallback is specified as in %{prop:fallback text}.
%% Insert the character '%'.
The strings inserted by format specifiers will be checked for
characters not allowed in filenames (including '/' and '\'), and
replaced with the placeholder '_'. (This doesn't happen for text that
was passed with the --screenshot-template option, and allows specifying
a screenshot target directory by prefixing the template with a relative
or absolute path.)
Callign add_step_frame is not necessary, because mplayer always decodes
at least one frame when starting a new file. Calling pause_player is
sufficient, and unlike add_step_frame doesn't play any audio.
libpostproc has been removed from Libav and the library now exists as
a separate project. Because it's not essential, separate it from the
Libav library check and allow compiling without it.
The --paused option will start the player in paused state. That means it
will start out with a still image of the first frame.
This can be useful in combination with --ss to inspect a certain frame.
Caveat: this plays a small bit of audio at the start, which might be
perceived as an annoying artifact. This is because this is implemented
by frame stepping after initialization in order to decode and display
the first video frame.
The default compression setting is 7, which is hopefully a good balance
between speed of compression, and resulting file sizes. The maximum png
compression will be very slow even on fast computers. On the other hand,
the lowest compression setting produces files of several MB size with
normal video resolutions, which should be avoided as well.
The screenshot image file type can now be selected with the
--screenshot-filetype option. The --screenshot-jpeg-quality option
controls the compression setting of the written JPEG image file.
