500ms is a bit too high. Change it to 50ms. This improves client API
(and Lua) playback state update frequency.
Updating absolutely every time the audio PTS changes would be possible,
but is not helpful. Audio samplerates are high to trigger a wakeup
feedback loop, so the process would waste CPU time on updating the
playback position all the time.
(If a client application wants to ensure smooth update of the playback
position, it should update the position manually using a timer and by
reading the property - the application can make a much better decision
at how often the playback has to happen.)
The previous behavior is confusing if the B point is near EOF (consider
B being the duration of the file, which is strictly speaking past the
last video timestamp). The new behavior is fine as well for B being far
past EOF.
Achieve this by checking the EOF state in addition to whether playback
has reached the B point. Also, move the A-B loop code out of
command_event(). It just isn't useful anymore, and obfuscates the code
more than it makes it loop simple.
Fixes#2046.
Seems logical.
Note that if playback otherwise ends while playback is active and a seek
is still queued, we still exit. Otherwise you couldn't end playback by
seeking past the end of the file (which is classic MPlayer and mpv
behavior).
During seeking, and there is momemtarily no new data available yet, the
player will display the seek target as current time. Clamp this time to
the known time range as implied by the start time and the duration of
the file.
This improves behavior especially when seeking in audio files, for which
this for some reason triggers rather often. There were some users
complaining about this.
This makes behavior worse for files with timestamp resets, or
incorrectly reported duration. (The latter is relatively common,
e.g. libavformat shortcomings, or incomplete files.)
The options don't change, but they're now declared and used privately by
demux_mkv.c. This also brings with it a minor refactor of the subpreroll
seek handling - merge the code from playloop.c into demux_mkv.c. The
change in demux.c is pretty much equivalent as well.
Treat an empty string as unset. The fact that the option values can be
NULL is merely weirdness due to how the option parser works (it
unfortunately doesn't initialize string fields to non-NULL).
The way the AO wakes up the playloop has nothing to do with events;
instead we must query the events on the AO once the playloop was woken
up. Querying the events in every playloop iteration is thus the correct
way to do this.
Requested. See manpage additions.
This also makes the magical loop_times constants slightly saner, but
shouldn't change the semantics of any existing --loop option values.
...into its own functions. The central playloop function is still too
big, but looks much cleaner now.
No changes in functionality. The code moved to handle_playback_restart()
is unindented by 1 level and moving it out of the if condition around.
The if condition is inverted and early-exits from the function. Also
some comments are changed.
This was subtly broken by commit a937ba20. Instead of framestepping over
the timeline segment boundary, it would just unpause playback, because
seeking now resets mpctx->step_frames. This was especially apparent when
doing something like "mpv *.jpg --merge-files".
Fix by restoring the step_frames field specifically if the seek is done
for switching segment boundaries. Hopefully the number fields which need
such an exception on seeking won't grow and turn this code into a mess.
`core-idle` depends on seeking state `mpctx->restart_complete`,
so make `core-idle` notified whenever `seeking` is notified, too.
`paused-for-cache` can be changed on MPV_EVENT_CACHE_UPDATE obviously.
Finally, `MPV_EVENT_PLAYBACK_RESTART` should be notified after
`mpctx->restart_complete` changed.
Pass through the seek flags to the stream layer. The STREAM_CTRL
semantics become a bit awkward, but that's still the least awkward
part about optical disc media.
Make demux_disc.c request relative seeks. Now the player will use
relative seeks if the user sends relative seek commands, and the
demuxer announces it wants these by setting rel_seeks to true. This
change probably changes seek behavior for dvd, dvdnav, bluray, cdda,
and possibly makes seeking useless if the demuxer-cache is set to
a high value.
Will be used in the next commit. (Split to make reverting the next
commit easier.)
The percent-pos property normally goes by time, except for file formats
like .ts or .ogg, where you can't trust the timestamps and duration info
to compute the position in the overall files. These use the byte
position and size instead.
When the file position was unavailable (e.g. due to an ongoing seek),
the percent-pos was unknown. Change it to use the time position instead.
In most cases, it's actually accurate enough, and the temporary
unavailability of the property can be annoying, e.g. on the terminal
status line.
There are currently 568 pixel formats (actually fewer, but the namespace
is this big), and for each format elaborate synchronization was done to
call it synchronously on the VO. This is completely unnecessary, and we
can do with just a single call.
If a file (or a demuxer) is broken, seeking close to the end of the file
doesn't work, and seek_to_last_frame() will be called over and over
again, burning CPU for no reason.
Observed with incomplete mp4 files. That this can happen was already
mentioned in commit 090f6cfc, but I guess now I'll do something against
it.
hrseek_lastframe is cleared by reset_playback_state(), so it's only set
if seek_to_last_frame() was called, and no other seek happened since
then. If finding the last frame succeeds, no EOF will happen (unless the
user unpauses, but then it will simply remain at the last frame). If it
fails, then it will return immediately, without retrying.
The --keep-open behavior was recently changed to act only on the last
file due to user requests (see commit 735a9c39). But the old behavior
was useful too, so bring it back as an additional mode.
Fixes#1332 (or rather, should help with it).
There were complaints that a chapter seek past the last chapter was
quitting the player. Change the behavior to what is expected: the last
frame.
If no chapters are available, this still does nothing.
It feels strange that seeking past EOF with --keep-open actually leaves
the player at a random position. You can't even unpause, because the
demuxer is in the EOF state, and what you see on screen is just what was
around before the seek.
Improve this by attempting to seek to the last video frame if EOF
happens. We explicitly don't do this if EOF was reached normally to
increase robustness (if the VO got a frame since the last seek, it
obviously means we had normal playback before EOF).
If an error happens when trying to find the last frame (such as not
actually finding a last frame because e.g. the demuxer misbehaves), this
will probably turn your CPU into a heater. There is no logic to prevent
reinitiating the last-frame search if the last-frame search reached EOF.
(Pausing usually prevents that EOF is reached again after a successful
last-frame search.)
Fixes#819.
I don't know why this done; most likely it had no real reason.
Remove it because it breaks "refresh seeks" to the same position.
(Although the refresh seeks mpv sometimes does were fine.)
Ordered chapter EOF was handled as special-case of ending the last
segment. This broke --kee-open, because it set AT_END_OF_FILE in an
"inconvenient" place (after checking for --keep-open, and before the
code that exits playback if EOF is reached).
We don't actually need to handle the last segment specially. Instead, we
remain in the same segment if it ends. The normal playback logic will
recognize EOF, because the end of the segment "cuts off" the file.
Now timeline_set_from_time() never "fails", and we can remove the old
segment EOF handling code in mp_seek().
Add a generic mechanism to the VO to relay "extra" events from VO to
player. Use it to notify the core of window resizes, which in turn will
be used to mark all affected properties ("window-scale" in this case) as
changed.
(I refrained from hacking this as internal command into input_ctx, or to
poll the state change, etc. - but in the end, maybe it would be best to
actually pass the client API context directly to the places where events
can happen.)
Instead of defining a separate data structure in the core.
For some odd reason, demux_chapter exported the chapter time in
nano-seconds. Change that to the usual timestamps (rename the field
to make any code relying on this to fail compilation), and also remove
the unused chapter end time.
Without --force-window, this is called on every iteration or so, and
calling uninit_video_out() sends the video-reconfig event. Avoid sending
redundant events.
Fixes#1225 (using an alternative patch).
This could produce an extra frame, because reaching the maximum merely
signals the playloop to exit, without strictly enforcing the limit.
Fixes#1181.

Manually setting can break things forever, because it puts the VO cursor
state out of sync with the remembered state by handle_cursor_autohide().
Use the normal autohide code during idle mode too instead. (Originally
the idea was to make the cursor always visible in idle mode, but not so
important.)
Regression since e1e8b07c. Fixes#1166.

This was added with commit 3cbd79b3, but it turns out this
unintentionally enables "real" pausing when seeking while buffering. It
was done for ensuring correct state of the "cache-buffering-state"
property, but it also turns out that this was unneeded (another variable
that is reset when seeking happens to take care of this).
Run opening the stream and opening the demuxer in a separate thread.
This should remove the last code paths in which the player can normally
get blocked on network.
When the stream is opened, the player will still react to input and so
on. Commands to abort opening can also be handled properly, instead of
using some of the old hacks in input.c. The only thing the user can
really do is aborting loading by navigating the playlist or quitting.
Whether playback abort works depends on the stream implementation; with
normal network, this will depend on what libavformat (via "interrupt"
callback) does.
Some pain is caused by DVD/BD/DVB. These want to reload the demuxer
sometimes. DVB wants it in order to discard old, inactive streams.
DVD/BD for the same reason, and also for reloading stream languages
and similar metadata. This means the stream and the demuxer have to
be loaded separately.
One minor detail is that we now need to copy all global options. This
wasn't really needed before, because the options were accessed on
opening only, but since opening is now on a separate thread, this
obviously becomes a necessity.
When the VO was moved it its own thread, responsibility for redrawing
was given to the VO thread itself. So if there was a condition that
indicated that redrawing was required, like expose events or certain
VOCTRLs, the VO thread was redrawing itself.
This worked fine, but there are some corner cases where this works
rather badly. E.g. if I fullscreen the player and hit panscan controls
with mpv's default autorepeat rate, playback stops. This happens because
the VO redraws itself after every panscan change command. Running each
(repeated) command takes so long due to redrawing and (involuntary)
waiting on vsync, that it never leaves the input processing loop while
the key is held down. I suspect that in my case, redrawing in fullscreen
mode just gets slow enough that it takes 2 vsyncs instead of 1 on
average, and the processing time gets larger than the autorepeat delay.
Fix this by taking redraw control from the VO, and instead let the
playloop issue a "real" redraw command to the VO if needed. This
basically reverts redraw handling to what it was before moving the VO to
a thread.

Each subsystem (or similar thing) had an INITIALIZED_ flag assigned. The
main use of this was that you could pass a bitmask of these flags to
uninit_player(). Except in some situations where you wanted to
uninitialize nearly everything, this wasn't really useful. Moreover, it
was quite annoying that subsystems had most of the code in a specific
file, but the uninit code in loadfile.c (because that's where
uninit_player() was implemented).
Simplify all this. Remove the flags; e.g. instead of testing for the
INITIALIZED_AO flag, test whether mpctx->ao is set. Move uninit code
to separate functions, e.g. uninit_audio_out().
There's no need to update OSD messages and the terminal status if nobody
is going to see it. Since the player doesn't block on video display
anymore, this update happens to often and probably burns slightly more
CPU than necessary. (OSD redrawing is handled separately, so it's just
mostly useless text processing and such.)
Change it so that it's updated only on every video frame or all 50ms
(whatever comes first).
For VO OSD, we could in theory try to lock to the OSD redraw heuristic
or the display refresh rate, but that's more complicated and doesn't
work for the terminal status.
When using --force-window (and no video or cover art), this heuristic
prevents any redrawing during seeking. It should be applied only if
there is any form of video.
