This didn't work, because the timebase was wrong. According to the
ffmpeg doxygen, if the stream index is -1 (which is what we used), the
timebase is AV_TIME_BASE. But this didn't work, and it really expected
the stream's timebase. Quite "surprising", since this feature
(avio_seek_time) is used by rtmp only.
Fixing this properly is too hard, so hack-fix our way around it.
STREAM_CTRL_SEEK_TO_TIME is also used by DVD/BD, so a new
STREAM_CTRL_AVSEEK is added. We simply pass-through the request
verbatim.
This adds a thread to the demuxer which reads packets asynchronously.
It will do so until a configurable minimum packet queue size is
reached. (See options.rst additions.)
For now, the thread is disabled by default. There are some corner cases
that have to be fixed, such as fixing cache behavior with webradios.
Note that most interaction with the demuxer is still blocking, so if
e.g. network dies, the player will still freeze. But this change will
make it possible to remove most causes for freezing.
Most of the new code in demux.c actually consists of weird caches to
compensate for thread-safety issues (with the previously single-threaded
design), or to avoid blocking by having to wait on the demuxer thread.
Most of the changes in the player are due to the fact that we must not
access the source stream directly. the demuxer thread already accesses
it, and the stream stuff is not thread-safe.
For timeline stuff (like ordered chapters), we enable the thread for the
current segment only. We also clear its packet queue on seek, so that
the remaining (unconsumed) readahead buffer doesn't waste memory.
Keep in mind that insane subtitles (such as ASS typesetting muxed into
mkv files) will practically disable the readahead, because the total
queue size is considered when checking whether the minimum queue size
was reached.
Happens when playing from a pipe.
Note that seeking forward doesn't work. It would be possible to create a
workaround for that by reading and skipping data until the target
position is reached (and writing the skipped data into the cache file),
but I'm not sure about that.
Fixes#928.

There is no standard mechanism for detecting endianess. Doing it at
compile time in a portable way is probably hard. Doing it properly
with a configure check is probably hard too. Using the endian
definitions in <sys/types.h> (usually includes <endian.h>, which is
not available everywhere) works under circumstances, but the previous
commit broke it on OSX.
Ideally all code should be endian dependent, but that is not possible
due to the dependencies (such as FFmpeg, some video output APIs, some
audio output APIs).
Create a header osdep/endian.h, which contains various fallbacks.
Note that the last fallback uses libavutil; however, it's not clear
whether AV_HAVE_BIGENDIAN is a public symbol, or whether including
<libavutil/bswap.h> really makes it visible. And in fact we don't want
to pollute the namespace with libavutil definitions either. Thus it's
only the last fallback.
_GNU_SOURCE defines the kitchen sink, and also prefers glibc definitions
where glibc and POSIX conflict. Even though POSIX is worth less than
toilet paper, we still prefer the POSIX definitions.
rar.c needs asprintf(), which is _GNU_SOURCE-only. So we define
_GNU_SOURCE too specifically for this file.
We used a complicated and approximate method to cache the stream
timestamp, which is basically per-byte. (To reduce overhead, it was only
cached per 8KB-block, so it was approximate.)
Simplify this, and read/keep the timestamp only on discontinuities. This
is when demux_disc.c actually needs the timestamp.
Note that caching is currently disabled for dvdnav, but we still read
the timestamp only after some data is read. libdvdread behaves well, but
I don't know about libbluray, and the previous code also read the
timestamp only after reading data, so try to keep it safe.
Also drop the start_time offset. It wouldn't be correct anymore if used
with the cache, and the idea behind it wasn't very sane either (making
the player to offset the initial playback time to 0).
DVD and Bluray (and to some extent cdda) require awful hacks all over
the codebase to make them work. The main reason is that they act like
container, but are entirely implemented on the stream layer. The raw
mpeg data resulting from these streams must be "extended" with the
container-like metadata transported via STREAM_CTRLs. The result were
hacks all over demux.c and some higher-level parts.
Add a "disc" pseudo-demuxer, and move all these hacks and special-cases
to it.
(Again.)
This time, we simply make it event-based, as it should be. This is done
for both demuxer metadata and stream metadata.
For some ogg-over-icy streams, 2 updates are reported on stream start.
This is because libavformat reports an update right on start, while
including the same info in the "static" metadata. I don't know if that's
a bug or a feature.
When resizing the cache, the buffer for the DVD timestamps is
initialized with 0. This causes the player to always return playback
position 0 with any file format (not just DVD), and also makes all
relative seeks relative to position 0. Fix this by clearing the
timestamps explicitly.
Closes#899.

Something like "char *s = ...; isdigit(s[0]);" triggers undefined
behavior, because char can be signed, and thus s[0] can be a negative
value. The is*() functions require unsigned char _or_ EOF. EOF is a
special value outside of unsigned char range, thus the argument to the
is*() functions can't be a char.
This undefined behavior can actually trigger crashes if the
implementation of these functions e.g. uses lookup tables, which are
then indexed with out-of-range values.
Replace all <ctype.h> uses with our own custom mp_is*() functions added
with misc/ctype.h. As a bonus, these functions are locale-independent.
(Although currently, we _require_ C locale for other reasons.)
Search $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS for config files.
This also negates the need to have separate user and global variants of
mp_find_config_file()
Closes#864, #109.

For remarks, pretty much see the manpage additions. Could help with
network streams that require too much seeking (maybe), or might be
extended to help with the use case of watching and downloading a file
at the same time.
In general, it might be a useless feature and could be removed again.
When the reader is out of data, it tries to wake up the cache thread to
get more data. In theory, there's a small race condition, which could
cause the cache to miss the wakeup and idle before reaction.
Most certainly didn't cause real issues, because even if this extremely
unlikely race condition happens, the cache won't idle for longer than
1 second (the hardcoded cache idle time).
Well, not sure if this really improves anything, but at least it's less
of a WTF to the playback core than always returning the same timestamp
for every frame.
There's really no need to convert this to float and then back. This is
mostly of cosmetic nature, double precision was probably enough to avoid
rounding.
Not sure how this symbol becomes visible in glibc (probably accidental
or mandatory recursive inclusion via the other standard or Linux-
specific headers), but normally this include file is needed to get the
symbol.
Squashed from the following mplayer-svn commits. The '#' is removed from
the bug ID to prevent github from doing something stupid. Instead of
adding the mplayer configure check for clock_gettime(), the POSIX
identifiers are used for checking presence of the function.

While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
Usually, each stream driver declares the size and option list of its
private data. This was pretty natural for when most streams still used
global variables to setup their defaults. They did by pointing
priv_defaults to the (mutable) struct containing the option values. But
falls short when storing the option values in MPOpts. So provide a
somewhat inelegant but simple way to let the stream implementation setup
the priv struct at initialization time.
This is done with the get_defaults callback. It should return a copy of
the struct used in MPOpts. (A copy, because if MPOpts is changed, string
fields might be deallocated, and if that field is not described by
stream_info.options, it won't be copied on init.)
Pretty much nothing changes, but using -tv-scan with suboptions doesn't
work anymore (instead of "-tv-scan x" it's "-tv scan-x" now). Flat
options ("-tv-scan-x") stay compatible.
Convert all these commands to properties. (Except tv_last_channel, not
sure what to do with this.) Also, internally, don't access stream
details directly, but dispatch commands with stream ctrls.
Many of the new properties are a bit strange, because they're write-
only. Also remove some OSD output these commands produced, because I
couldn't be bothered to port these.
In general, this makes everything much cleaner, and will also make it
easier to e.g. move the demuxer to its own thread.
Don't bother updating input.conf, but changes.rst documents how old
commands map to the new ones.
Mostly untested, due to lack of hardware.
