Get rid of the strange and messy reliance on DEMUXER_TYPE_ constants.
Instead of having two open functions for the demuxer callbacks (which
somehow are both optional, but you can also decide to implement both...),
just have one function. This function takes a parameter that tells the
demuxer how strictly it should check for the file headers. This is a
nice simplification and allows more flexibility.
Remove the file extension code. This literally did nothing (anymore).
Change demux_lavf so that we check our other builtin demuxers first
before libavformat tries to guess by file extension.
Add this option, which lets users set the cache size without forcing it
even when playing from the local filesystem.
Also document the default value explicitly.
The Matroska linked segments case is slightly simplified: they can
never come from network (mostly because it'd be insane, and we can't
even list files from network sources), so the cache will never be
enabled automatically.
Delete demux_avi, demux_asf, demux_mpg, demux_ts. libavformat does
better than them (except in rare corner cases), and the demuxers have
a bad influence on the rest of the code. Often they don't output
proper packets, and require additional audio and video parsing. Most
work only in --no-correct-pts mode.
Remove them to facilitate further cleanups.
This commit removes the "old" networking code in favor of libavformat's
code.
The code was still used for mp_http, udp, ftp, cddb. http has been
mapped to libavformat's http support since approximately 6 months ago.
udp and ftp have support in ffmpeg (though ftp was added only last
month). cddb support is removed with this commit - it's probably not
important and rarely used if at all, so we don't care about it.
For some reason mp_fifo specifically handled double clicks, and other
than that was a pointless wrapper around input.c functionality.
Move the double click handling into input.c, and get rid of mp_fifo. Add
some compatibility wrappers, because so much VO code uses these
functions. Where struct mp_fifo is still used it's just a casted
struct input_ctx.
Should we actually get into trouble for unproper handling of
frame-based subtitle formats, this might be the simplest way to
work this around. Also is a bit more intuitive than -subfps, which
might use an unknown, misdetected, or non-sense video FPS.
Still pretty silly, though.
demux_libass.c allows us to make subtitle format detection part of the
normal file loading process. libass has no probe function, but trying to
load the start of a file (the first 4 KB) is good enough. Hope that
libass can even handle random binary input gracefully without printing
stupid log messages, and that the libass parser doesn't accept too many
non-ASS files as input.
This doesn't handle the -subcp option correctly yet. This will be fixed
later.
This fixes the -subfps option (which unfortunately is still useful),
and fixes minor annoying timing errors (which unfortunately still
happen).
Note that none of these affect ASS or image subtitles. ASS is specially
handled: libass loads subtitles as ASS_Track. There are no actual
packets passed around, and sd_ass just uses the ASS_Track.
Disable the --sub-no-text-pp option. It's misleading now and always was
completely useless.
Basically rewrite all the code supporting the cache (i.e. anything other
than the ringbuffer logic). The underlying design is untouched.
Note that the old cache2.c (on which this code is based) already had a
threading implementation. This was mostly unused on Linux, and had some
problems, such as using shared volatile variables for communication and
uninterruptible timeouts, instead of using locks for synchronization.
This commit does use proper locking, while still retaining the way the
old cache worked. It's basically a big refactor.
Simplify the code too. Since we don't need to copy stream ctrl args
anymore (we're always guaranteed a shared address space now), lots of
annoying code just goes away. Likewise, we don't need to care about
sector sizes. The cache uses the high-level stream API to read from
other streams, and sector sizes are handled transparently.
The core didn't use these fields, and use of them was inconsistent
accross AOs. Some didn't use them at all. Some only set them; the values
were completely unused by the core. Some made full use of them.
Remove these fields. In places where they are still needed, make them
private AO state.
Remove the --abs option. It set the buffer size for ao_oss and ao_dsound
(being ignored by all other AOs), and was already marked as obsolete. If
it turns out that it's still needed for ao_oss or ao_dsound, their
default buffer sizes could be adjusted, and if even that doesn't help,
AO suboptions could be added in these cases.
Use the recently introduced screensaver VOCTRLs to control the
screensaver in the X11 backend. This means the behavior when paused
changes: the old code always kept the screensaver disabled, but now the
screensaver is reenabled on pausing.
Rename the --stop-xscreensaver option to --stop-screensaver and make it
more generic. Now it affects all backends that respond to the
screensaver VOCTRLs.
Whatever this was supposed to be originally, it doesn't have much value
anymore. It just forced ad_mpg123 to upmix mono to stereo by default
(the audio chain can do that). As an option, it was mostly useless and
misleading, so get rid of it.
