Unfortunately, ALSA is particularly bad with this, because mpv has to
add all sorts of magic crap to the device name to make things work. The
device selection overrides this, so explicitly selecting devices will
most likely break your audio. This has yet to be solved.
For cover art, we pretend that the video stream is infinite, but also
stop decoding once we have an image on the VO (this seems advantageous
for the case when strange filters are inserted or the VO image gets
lost). Since a while ago, the video chain started decoding 2 images
though ("Non-monotonic video pts: 0.000000 <= 0.000000"), which is
annoying and wasteful.
Improve this by handling a certain corner case at initialization, which
will decode a second image while the first one is still stuck in the
filter chain. Also, just in case there are filters which buffer a lot,
also force EOF filtering (which means we tell the filters to flush
buffered frames).

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).
Maybe using strings for log levels was a mistake (too broad and too
impractical), so I'm adding numeric log level at least for the receiver
side. This makes it easier to map mpv log levels to other logging
systems.
I'm still too stingy to add a function to set the log level by a numeric
value, though.
The numeric values are not directly mapped to the internal mpv values,
because then almost every file in mpv would have to include the client
API header.
Coalesce this into API version 1.6, since 1.6 was bumped just yesterday.
For the purpose of demonstration.
Also make the windows larger. I'm not exactly sure how Qt determines
the default window sizes, but here they are a bit tiny, so force them
larger.
The API could return partial lines, meaning the message could stop
in the middle of a line, and the next message would have the rest of
it (or just the next part of it). This was a pain for the user, so do
the nasty task of buffering the lines ourselves.
Now only complete lines are sent. To make things even easier for the
API user, don't put multiple lines into a single event, but split them.
The terminal output code needed something similar (inserting a prefix
header on start of each line). To avoid code duplication, this commit
refactors the terminal output so that lines are split in a single
place.
The status line is a bit special; for example it uses special control
codes by design and is not terminated with a newline character in order
to update it on the terminal without scrolling. It's not helpful for
client API users either, and would require special-casing them
(emulating aspects of a terminal?). Also, the status line code is
explicitly disabled on osd.c unless the --terminal option is enabled,
so there was no good way to even enable the status line for the API.
Just pretend that the status line does not exist as far as the client
API is concerned. It won't be sent as MPV_EVENT_LOG_MESSAGE.
So client API users don't have to worry about this specifically.
Also document the overflow case. (Not sure if we really need to do
this; maybe it'd be better not to, since this just adds more noise
to the docs.)
stream provides a read buffer (so even something like stream_read_char()
is very fast). This means the stream reads ahead by a few KBs, and
implies that the internal position (s->pos, which would match e.g. the
file position in stream_file.c), and the external position
(stream_tell()) can be different. stream_tell() shows how these are
related.
When dropping buffers, which happens on byte-level discontinuities with
a bunch of streams (including DVB), we should not change the position as
seen by the demuxer. On the other hand, the internal position is not
really meaningful, since these streams aren't seekable anyway. So just
change the code such that stream_drop_buffers() doesn't change the
demuxer visible position.
I'm hoping that this will fix a few problems with DVB. (Also see
previous commit.)
Document the "normal" behavior (if MPV_FORMAT_NONE is not used) first,
and then introduce MPV_FORMAT_NONE as exception.
The actual semantics didn't change in mpv; this is only clarification.
Whether you consider the semantics weird or not depends on your use
case, but I suppose it's a bit confusing anyway. At this point, we keep
MPV_EVENT_PAUSE/UNPAUSE for compatibility only.
Make the "core-idle" property somewhat more useful in this context.
bstr.start can be NULL when bstr.len is 0, so don't call memcmp or
strncasecmp if that's the case. Passing NULL to string functions is
invalid C, even when the length is 0, and it causes Windows to raise an
invalid parameter error.
Should fix#1155
For segment linking (this mechanism matches file extensions to avoid
opening files which are most likely not Matroska files in order to speed
up scanning).
Now any action that stops playback of a file (even playlist navigation)
will save the position. Normal EOF is of course excluded from this, as
well as commands that just reload the current file.
The option name is now slightly off, although you could argue what the
word "quit" means.
Fixes#1148 (or at least this is how I understood it).
This function is available starting with PulseAudio 2.0, while we only
require 1.0. This broke compilation on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS.
Use our own function to calculate the buffer size, which is actually
simpler and needs slightly less code.
Hopefully fixes#1154.

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.
This is the first of a series of commits that will change the Cocoa way in a
way that is easily embeddable inside parent views. To reach that point common
code must avoid referencing the parent NSWindow since that could be the host
application's window.
This is just temporary code but is a good base for future work (and baby
steps are required for these changes). The 'final destination' is embedding
the video view into any NSView but that requires some more work (the mechanism
will be the same: pass the view's pointer casted to int64_t through -wid).
For instance we will need to remove as much usage of the window instance
as possible, and use nil guards where not possible. For this reason I will
remove stuff like the mission control fullscreen feature (it's a cute feature
but annoying to support and quite limited, go make your GUIs), and a way to
lookup the current screen directly from the NSView absolute coordinates
(this is needed for ICC detection mostly, and reporting back the screen to
mpv's core).
Moreover the current view.m will need to be separated into 2 views: the actual
video view that will be embedded, and a parent view that will not be embedded
and will be responsibile for tracking events.
This could be dangerous because we initialize the window asynchronously and
return immediately from config, but since the OpenGL context is already
created, this seems to work correctly and doesn't cause weird deadlock cases.
This is for users who don't like changes. I'm hoping it will make the
process of cleaning up key bindings less bumpy.
It should be mentioned in the release notes of the next release.
It was more complicated than it had to be: the audio thread already
determines whether audio has ended, so we can use that. Remove the
separate logic for draining.
