This is only for specific Hauppage cards. According to the comments in
who is actively using this feature. Get it out of the way.
Anyone who still wants to use this should complain. Keeping this code
would not cause terribly much additional work, and it could be restored
again. (But not if the request comes months later.)
This commit introduces logic to read other volumes from the same source
as the primary archive. Both .rar formats as well as 7z are supported for now.
It also changes the libarchive callback structure to be per-volume
consistent with the libarchive intenal client data array constructed
with archive_read_append_callback_data.
Added open, close and switch callbacks. Only the latter is strictly
required to make sure that the streams always start at position 0, but
leaving all volumes open can eat a lot of memory for archives with many
parts.
Don't print the URL that is opened twice. stream.c and stream_lavf.c
each printed it once. Remove the logging from stream_lavf.c, and move
the log call to a more interesting point.
This causes weirdness with the "cache-size" property and option. Only
the read handler of the property included the backbuffer, while all
others did not. Make it consistent, and subtract the backbuffer size
from the cache size.
Fixes#2305.
As expected, probing with libarchive is a disaster. Both libavformat and
libarchive are too eager to misdetect file formats just because files
"might" be of a specific type. In this case, it's mp3 vs. tar. To be
fair, neither file format has an actual header. I'm not sure why we'd
need tar support, but since libarchive provides it, and idiots on the
internet apparently pack media files in tar sometimes (really, idiots),
keep it for now, and probe tar last.
libarchive uses a quite confusing ifdeffery mess for some of the types
used in callbacks. Currently, archive_read_set_seek_callback() causes a
warning at least on Windows due to mismatching return type. The header
file uses __LA_INT64_T as return type, so I think the user is intended
to use int64_t.
(The ssize_t return type for the read_cb seems correct, on the other
hand.)
Things like .gz etc., which have no real file header. A mixed bag,
because it e.g. tends to misdetect mp3 files as compressed files or
something (of course it has no mp3 support - I don't know as what it
detects them). But requested by someone (or maybe not, I'm not sure
how to interpret that).
This works similar to the existing .rar support, but uses libarchive.
libarchive supports a number of formats, including zip and (most of)
rar.
Unfortunately, seeking does not work too well. Most libarchive readers
do not support seeking, so it's emulated by skipping data until the
target position. On backwards seek, the file is reopened. This works
fine on a local machine (and if the file is not too large), but will
perform not so well over network connection.
This is disabled by default for now. One reason is that we try
libarchive on every file we open, before trying libavformat, and I'm not
sure if I trust libarchive that much yet. Another reason is that this
breaks multivolume rar support. While libarchive supports seeking in
rar, and (probably) supports multivolume archive, our support of
libarchive (probably) does not. I don't care about multivolume rar, but
vocal users do.
Revert "win32: more wchar_t -> WCHAR replacements"
Revert "win32: replace wchar_t with WCHAR"
Doing a "partial" port of this makes no sense anymore from my
perspective. Revert the changes, as they're confusing without
context, maintenance, and progress. These changes were a bit
premature anyway, and might actually cause other issues
(locale neutrality etc. as it was pointed out).
This was essentially missing from commit 0b52ac8a.
Since L"..." string literals have the type wchar_t[], we can't use them
for UTF-16 strings. Use C11 u"..." string literals instead. These have
the type char16_t[], but we simply assume char16_t is the same
underlying type as WCHAR. In practice, they're both unsigned short.
For this reason use -std=c11 on Windows. Since Windows is a "special"
environment (we require either MinGW or Cygwin), we don't need to worry
too much about compiler compatibility.
Allow setting an arbitrary amount, instead of the fixed 50%.
This is nto striclty backwards compatible. The defaults don't change,
but the --cache/--cache-default options now set the readahead portion.
So in practice, users who configured this until now will see the
double amount of cache being used, _plus_ the 75MB default backbuffer
will be in use.
Currently, this is perfectly equivalent, because back_size is hardcoded
to buffer_size/2. But this fixes the logic for the case the back_size
can be configured freely.
DVD/BD menu support never worked right, and are a pain to maintain. In
particular, DVD menus never actually worked correctly, because
highlights were not rendered correctly. Fixing this requires major
effort, which I'm not interested to spend.
Most importantly, the requirement to switch streams without losing the
DVD/BD state caused major weirdness in the playback core. It was
implemented by somehow syncing the playback state to the DVD/BD
implementation (in stream_dvdnav.c etc.), and then reloading the demuxer
without destroying and recreating the stream. This caused a bunch of
special-cases which I'm looking forward to remove.
For now, don't just remove everything related to menu support and just
disable it. If someone volunteers, it can be restored (i.e. rewritten)
in a reasonable way. If nobody volunteers soon, it goes.
Normally, the cache keeps 50% of the buffer for seeking backwards. Until
now, the cache just used the full buffer size at the beginning of a
file, because the 50% normally reserved for the backbuffer are unused.
This caused a problem: when streaming from http, the player would first
read about 150MB (default cache size), then stop until 75MB of the cache
has been played. (Until the 75MB position, the cache is fully used, so
nothing new can be read. After that, part of the backbuffer starts
getting unreserved, and can be used for readahead.) This long read pause
can cause the server to terminate the connection. Reconnecting may be
possible, but if youtube-dl is used, the media URL may have become
invalid.
Fix this by limiting readahead to 50% even if unnecessary. The only
exception is when the whole file would fit in the cache. In this case,
it won't matter if we can't reconnect, because the cache covers
everything anyway, and hopefully the cache will stay valid.
Likely fixes#2000.
There is not much of a reason to have these wrappers around. Use POSIX
standard functions directly, and use a separate utility function to take
care of the timespec calculations. (Course POSIX for using this weird
format for time values.)
This code does not know whether the stream supports reconnecting until
STREAM_CTRL_RECONNECT is called. So the message should be printed after
it. To avoid that reconnects that succeed on the first try go unnoticed,
print a warning on success.
An approximate measure to make it exit possibly slightly earlier.
Relatively speaking, some time will pass between cancellation and
the cache actually being requested to exit, so it's good if the
cache returns EOF immediately.
The caller can check for cache interruption instead. There's no need to
define special return values and such. It would be rather hard to make
waiting for the condition and stream cancellation atomic too (and
pointless, since the underlying stream will also be "cancelled" and exit
early), so nothing about cancellation being a separate call will change.
This put some effort into distinguishing between two messages to print -
all worthless. Even more so, this kept printing the message, which
doesn't feel overly useful either. (The message will be printed
repeatedly anyway if network recovers for a while and then gets stuck
again.)
All in all, the demuxer cache triggering the buffering state does a
better job here. But don't remove it completely, since knowing that the
network did nothing for a relatively short time is still useful.
If a directory is encountered, replace it with its contents in the
internal playlist.
This is messed into demux_playlist.c, because why not. STREAMTYPE_DIR
could be avoided by unconditonally trying opendir() in demux_playlist.c,
but it seems nicer not to do weird things like calling it on real files.
This does not work on Windows, because msvcrt is retarded.
The libavformat rtmp protocol's "timeout" option has two problems:
1) Unlike all other protocols, it's in seconds and not microseconds
2) It enables "listen" mode, which breaks playback
Make the --network-timeout do nothing in the rtmp case.
Fixes#1704.
I think this is what I alwass missed ever since I found the MPlayer
cache options: a way to enable the cache on local files with the default
settings, whatever they are.
Seems appropriate, and will probably avoid performance surprises with
scary architectures which don't have trivial implementations for atomic
loads. (Consider that demux_mkv calls this very often now, and
libavformat demuxers and streams did this for a while now.)
This causes the cache to be enabled with --cache=auto. It was not done
previously because the small cache size 320k actually led to worse
performance. However, with the current default cache size of 25000kb,
caching notably improves performance.
If we're caching a stream with unknown size, and we reach EOF, then
consider the EOF position the file size. Typically makes sense when
reading from a pipe or a http connection that did not send a size.
