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.
Basically, this will mark the demuxer as seekable with rtmp* and mmsh
protocols. These protocols have network-level time seeking, and whether
you can seek on the byte level does not matter.
Until now, seeking was typically only enabled because of the cache, and
a (nonsensical) warning was shown accordingly.
It still could happen that the server doesn't actually support thse
requests (or simply rejects them), so this is somewhat imperfect.
Apparently using the stream index is the best way to refer to the same
streams across multiple FFmpeg-using programs, even if the stream index
itself is rarely meaningful in any way.
For Matroska, there are some possible problems, depending how FFmpeg
actually adds streams. Normally they seem to match though.
Normally, we pass libavformat demuxers a wrapped mpv stream. But in some
cases, such as HLS and RTSP, we let libavformat open the stream itself.
In these cases, set typical network properties like useragent according
to the mpv options.
(We still don't set it for the cases where libavformat opens other
streams on its own, e.g. when opening the companion .sub file for .idx
files - not sure if we maybe should always set these options.)
Fixes opening some streams.
This means the HLS playlist will be opened twice, but that's not much of
a problem, considering it's pretty small, and HLS will make many other
http accesses anyway.
This code meant to flush demuxer internal buffers by doing a byte seek
to the current position. In theory this shouldn't drop any stream data.
However, if the stream positions mismatch, then avio_seek() (called by
av_seek_frame()) stops being a no-op, and might for example read some
data to skip to the seek target. (This can happen if the distance is
less than SHORT_SEEK_THRESHOLD.)
The positions get out of sync because we drop data at one point (which
is what we _want_ to do). Strictly speaking, the AVIOContext flushing is
done incorrectly, becuase pb->pos points to the start of the buffer, not
the current position. So we have to increment pb->pos by the buffered
amount.
Since there are other weird reasons why the positions might go out of
sync (such as stream_dvd.c dropping buffers itself), and they don't
necessarily need to be in sync in the first place unless AVIOContext has
nothing buffered internally, just use the sledgehammer approach and
correct the position manually.
Also run av_seek_frame() after this. Currently, it shouldn't read
anything, but who knows how that might change with future libavformat
development.
This whole change didn't have any observable effect for me, but I'm
hoping it fixes a reported problem.
When flushing the AVIOContext, make sure it can't seek back to discarded
data. buf_ptr is just the current read position, while buf_end - buffer
is the actual buffer size. Since mpegts.c is littered with seek calls,
it might be that the ability to seek could read
Mark the stream (which the demuxer uses) as not seekable. The cache can
enable seeking again (this behavior is sometimes useful for other
things). I think this should have had no bad influence in theory, since
seeking BD/DVD first does the "real" seek, then flushes libavformat and
reads new packets.
HLS streams as demuxed by libavformat have no track title metadata. So
show the HLS bitrate if no title is set. Could be useless or annoying,
so it's a bit controversial, I guess.
--hls-bitrate=min/max lets you select the min or max bitrate. That's it.
Something more sophisticated might be possible, but is probably not even
worth the effort.
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
This is a simplification, because it lets us use the AVPacket
functions, instead of handling the details manually.
It also allows the libavcodec rawvideo decoder to use reference
counting, so it doesn't have to memcpy() the full image data. The change
in av_common.c enables this.
This change is somewhat risky, because we rely on the following AVPacket
implementation details and assumptions:
- av_packet_ref() doesn't access the input padding, and just copies the
data. By the API, AVPacket is always padded, and we violate this. The
lavc implementation would have to go out of its way to make this a
real problem, though.
- We hope that the way we make the AVPacket refcountable in av_common.c
is actually supported API-usage. It's hard to tell whether it is.
Of course we still use our own "old" demux_packet struct, just so that
libav* API usage is somewhat isolated.
Use OPT_KEYVALUELIST() for all places where AVOptions are directly set
from mpv command line options. This allows escaping values, better
diagnostics (also no more "pal"), and somehow reduces code size.
Remove the old crappy option parser (av_opts.c).
This happens apparently randomly with rtmp:// and after seeks. This
eventually leads to audio decoding returning an EOF status, which
basically disables audio sync. This will lead to audio desync, even if
audio decoding later "recovers" when the demuxer actually returns audio
packets.
Hack-fix this by special-casing EAGAIN.
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.
The old FFmpeg API and the new Libav API disagree about mp4 display
rotation direction. Well, whatever, fix it trial-and-error-style.

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.
For OGG audio files, we usually merge the per-stream metadata back to
the file-global metadata. Don't do that for OGM, because with OGM most
metadata is actually per-stream.
Suggested by tholin on github issue #882.
This is not entirely clean, but the fields we're accessing might be
considered internal to libavformat. On the other hand, existence of the
fields is guaranteed by the ABI, and nothing in the libavformat doxygen
suggestes they're not allowed to be accessed.
CC: @mpv-player/stable
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.
It's unlikely that files with multiple audio tracks and with replaygain
actually happen, but this change might help avoid minor corner cases
with later changes.
Recently, libavformat added demuxers to open image files like normal
demuxers. This is a good thing, but for now they interfere with the
operation of demux_mf. Add them to the blacklist until there is a proper
solution.
(The list doesn't contain _all_ recognized image formats, just those
that might interfere with demux_mf.)

This returned a stream error value directly to libavformat, which can't
make sense. For example STREAM_ERROR (0) means success in libavformat
error codes. (The meaning of the libavformat read_seek return value is
underdocumented too.)
Also clarify the semantics.
It seems --idx didn't do anything. Possibly it used to change how the
now removed legacy demuxers like demux_avi used to behave. Or maybe
it was accidental.
--forceidx basically becomes --index=force. It's possible that new
index modes will be added in the future, so I'm keeping it
extensible, instead of e.g. creating --force-index.
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.
The i_bps members of the sh_audio and dev_video structs are mostly used
for displaying the average audio and video bitrates. Keeping them in
bits-per-second avoids truncating them to bytes-per-second and changing
them back lateron.
Stop using it in most places, and prefer STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE. The
advantage is that always the correct size will be used. There can be no
doubt anymore whether the end_pos value is outdated (as it happens often
with files that are being downloaded).
Some streams still use end_pos. They don't change size, and it's easier
to emulate STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE using end_pos, instead of adding a
STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE implementation to these streams.
Make sure int64_t is always used for STREAM_CTRL_GET_SIZE (it was
uint64_t before).
Remove the seek flags mess, and replace them with a seekable flag. Every
stream must set it consistently now, and an assertion in stream.c checks
this. Don't distinguish between streams that can only be forward or
backwards seeked, since we have no such stream types.
stream.start_pos was needed for optical media only, and (apparently) not
for very good reasons. Just get rid of it.
For stream_dvd, we don't need to do anything. Byte seeking was already
removed from it earlier.
For stream_cdda and stream_vcd, emulate the start_pos by offsetting the
stream pos as seen by the rest of mpv.
The bits in discnav.c and loadfile.c were for dealing with the code
seeking back to the start in demux.c. Handle this differently by
assuming the demuxer is always initialized with the stream at start
position, and instead seek back if initializing the demuxer fails.
Remove the --sb option, which worked by modifying stream.start_pos. If
someone really wants this option, it could be added back by creating a
"slice" stream (actually ffmpeg already has such a thing).
