Currently, all demuxer fill_buffer functions have a demux_stream
parameter. We want to remove that, but the TV code still depends on
it. Add a hack to remove that dependency.
The problem with the TV code is that reading video and audio frames
blocks, so in order to avoid a deadlock, you should read either of
them only if the decoder actually requests new data.
For now, we want to get rid of the demux->sub access, because this
field will become private to demux.c in a later commit. So replace the
current hack with another hack.
The need for the hack will be removed sooner or later. (Instead of
autoselecting a specific stream, all new streams will be enabled by
default, so that no packets can get lost. The frontend will then be
responsible to deselect unwanted streams.)
This is not directly related to the handling of format changes itself,
but playing audio normally after the change. This was broken: the output
byte rate was not recalculated, so audio-video sync was simply broken.
Fix this by calculating the byte rate on the fly, instead of storing it
in sh_audio.
Format changes are relatively common (switches between stereo and 5.1
in TV recordings), so this fixes a somewhat critical bug.
Partial packet reads were needed because the video/audio parsers were
working on top of them. So it could happen that a parser read a part of
a packet, and returned that to the decoder. With libavformat/libavcodec,
packets are already parsed, and everything is much simpler.
Most of the simplifications in ad_spdif could have been done earlier.
Remove some other stuff as well, like the questionable slave mode start
time reporting (could be replaced by proper code, but we don't bother).
Remove the unused skip_audio_frame() functionality as well (it was used
by old demuxers). Some functions become private to demux.c, like
demux_fill_buffer(). Introduce new packet read functions, which have
simpler semantics. Packets returned from them are owned by the caller,
and all packets in the demux.c packet queue are considered unread.
Remove special code that dropped subtitle packets with size 0. This
used to be needed because it caused special cases in the old code.
The demux_open as well as demux_open_withparams calls don't use the
stream selection parameters anymore, so remove them everywhere.
Completes the previous commit.
These separate arrays were used by the old demuxers and are not needed
anymore. We can simplify track switching as well.
One interesting thing is that stream/tv.c (which is a demuxer) won't
respect --no-audio anymore. It will probably work as expected, but it
will still open an audio device etc. - this is because track selection
is now always done with the runtime track switching mechanism. Maybe
the TV code could be updated to do proper runtime switching, but I
can't test this stuff.
The audio parser was needed only by the "old" demuxers, and
demux_rawaudio. All other demuxers output already parsed packets.
demux_rawaudio is usually for raw audio, so using a parser with it
doesn't usually make sense. But you can also force it to read
compressed formats with fixed packet sizes, in which case the parser
would have been used. This use case is probably broken now, but you
will be able to do the same thing with libavformat demuxers.
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.
STREAM_CTRL_GET_METADATA will be used to poll for streamcast metadata.
Also add DEMUXER_CTRL_UPDATE_INFO, which could in theory be used by
demux_lavf.c. (Unfortunately, libavformat is too crappy to read metadata
mid-stream for mp3 or ogg, so we don't implement it.)
The filter chain and the video ouputs have config() functions. They are
strictly limited to transfering the video size and format. Other
parameters (like color levels) have to be transferred separately.
Improve upon this by introducing a separate set of reconfig() functions,
which use mp_image_params to carry format parameters. This struct
contains all image format related parameters from config(), plus
additional parameters such as colorspace.
Change vf_rotate to use it, as well as vo_opengl. vf_rotate is just
an example/test case, but vo_opengl will need it later.
The intention is also to get rid of VOCTRL_SET_YUV_COLORSPACE. This
information is now handed to the VOs via reconfig(). The getter,
VOCTRL_GET_YUV_COLORSPACE, will still be needed though.
Old code used to use libass' recoding feature, which is a copy of the
old MPlayer code. We dropped that a few commits ago. Unfortunately,
this made it impossible to load some subtitle files, like UTF-16 files.
Make .ass loading respect -subcp again. We do this by recoding the
probe buffer to UTF-8, and then trying to load it normally. (Yep.)
Since UTF-16 in particular will effectively half the probe buffer size,
double the probe size.
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.
The default correct-pts mode depended on which demuxer was opened last.
Often this is the subtitle demuxer. The correct-pts mode should be
decided on the demuxer for video instead.
subreader.c (before this commit renamed to demux_subreader.c) was
special cased to the -sub option. The plan is using the normal demuxer
codepath for all subtitle formats (so we can prefer libavformat demuxers
for most formats).
There are some subtle changes. The probe size is restricted to 32 KB
(instead of unlimitted + giving up after 100 lines of input). For
formats like MicroDVD, the video FPS isn't used anymore, because it's
not available on the subtitle demuxer level. Instead, hardcode it to
23.976 FPS (libavformat seems to do the same). The user can probably
still use -sub-fps to fix the timing. Checking the file extension for
".utf"/".utf8"/".utf-8" is simply removed (seems worthless, was in the
way, and I've never seen this anywhere).
Simpler, reduces the amount of copying.
We still have to malloc+memcpy the probe buffer though, because padding
with FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE is required by libavformat.
If a subtitle is external, read it completely and add all subtitle
events in advance when the subtitle track is selected. This is done
for text subtitles only. (Note that subreader.c and subtitles loaded
with libass are different and don't have anything to do with this
commit.)
Seems like a completely unnecessary complication. Instead, always add a
1 byte padding (could be extended if a caller needs it), and clear it.
Also add some documentation. There was some, but it was outdated and
incomplete.
The stream EOF flag should only be set when trying to read past the end
of the file (relatively similar to unix files). Always clear the EOF
flag on seeking. Trying to set it "properly" (depending whether data is
available at seek destination or not) might be an ok idea, but would
require attention to too many special cases. I suspect before this
commit (and in MPlayer etc. too), the EOF flag wasn't handled
consistently when the stream position was at the end of the file.
Fix one special case in ebml.c and stream_skip(): this function couldn't
distinguish between at-EOF and past-EOF either.
This function was called in various places. Most time, it was used
before a seek. In other cases, the purpose was apparently resetting
the EOF flag. As far as I can see, this makes no sense anymore. At
least the stream_reset() calls paired with stream_seek() are completely
pointless. A seek will either seek inside the buffer (and reset the
EOF flag), or do an actual seek and reset all state.
This branch heavily refactors the subtitle code (both loading and
rendering), and adds support for a few new formats through FFmpeg.
We don't remove any of the old code yet. There are still some subtleties
related to subreader.c to be resolved: code page detection & conversion,
timing post-processing, UTF-16 subtitle support, support for the -subfps
option. Also, SRT reading and loading ASS via libass should be turned
into proper demuxers. (SRT is needed because Libav's is gravely broken,
and we want ASS loading via libass to cover full libass format support.
Both should be demuxers which are probed _before_ libavformat, so that
all subtitles can be loaded through the demuxer infrastructure, and
libavformat subtitles don't need to be treated in a special way.)
Before this, subtitle packets were returned as data ptr/len pairs, and
mplayer.c got the rest (pts and duration) directly from the demuxer
data structures. Then mplayer.c reassembled the packet data structure
again.
Pass packets directly instead. The mplayer.c side stays a bit awkward,
because the (now by default unused) DVD path keeps getting in the way.
In demux.c there's lots of weird stuff (3 functions that read packets,
really?), but we want to keep the code equivalent for now to avoid
hitting weird issues and corner cases.
Makes WebVTT actually work.
Also simplify the logic for setting duration. Only the subtitle path
uses the packet duration, so the checks for STREAM_SUB as well as the
keyframe flag are redundant.
Apparently duration and convergence_duration are the same thing, but
convergence_duration was added as Matroska-specific hack to get a higher
value range (int vs. int64_t) with high resolution Matroska timebases.
For us it doesn't matter, because double floats are used for timestamps
and durations.
This means subassconvert.c is split in sd_srt.c and sd_microdvd.c. Now
this code is involved in the sub conversion chain like sd_movtext is.
The invocation of the converter in sd_ass.c is removed.
This requires some other changes to make the new sub converter code work
with loading external subtitles. Until now, subtitles loaded via
subreader.c was assumed to be in plaintext, or for some formats, in ASS
(except in -no-ass mode). Then these were added to an ASS_Track. Change
this so that subtitles are always in their original format (as far as
decoders/converters for them are available), and turn every sub event
read by subreader.c as packet to the dec_sub.c subtitle chain.
This removes differences between external/demuxed and -ass/-no-ass code
paths further.
Internally, stream_dvd.c returned DEMUXER_TYPE_MPEG_PS, and the same
value was hardcoded to enforced usage of demux_lavf in demux.c. But
"-demuxer mpegps" basically did the same, so that switch was broken
for this format. Undo this and don't request a demuxer in stream_dvd.c.
demux_lavf.c is (probably) good enough to probe correctly with DVD.
Otherwise, we'd actually have to do something completely different to
force the libavformat demuxer.
Make the sub decoder stuff independent from sh_sub (except for
initialization of course). Sub decoders now access a struct sd only,
instead of getting access to sh_sub. The glue code in dec_sub.c is
similarily independent from osd.
Some simplifications are made. For example, the switch_id stuff is
unneeded: the frontend code just has to make sure to call osd_changed()
any time subtitles are switched.
This is also preparation for introducing subtitle converters. It's much
cleaner to completely separate demuxer header/renderer glue/decoders
for this purpose, especially since sub converters might completely
change how demuxer headers have to be interpreted.
Also pass data as demux_packets. Currently, this doesn't help much, but
libavcodec converters might need scary stuff like packet side data, so
it's perhaps better to go with passing packets.
Subtitle files are opened in mplayer.c, not using the demuxer
infrastructure in general. Pretend that this is not the case (outside of
the loading code) by opening a pseudo demuxer that does nothing. One
advantage is that the initialization code is now the same, and there's
no confusion about what the difference between track->stream,
track->sh_sub and mpctx->sh_sub is supposed to be.
This is a bit stupid, and it would be much better if there were proper
subtitle demuxers (there are many in recent FFmpeg, but not Libav). So
for now this is just a transition to a more proper architecture. Look
at demux_sub like an artifical limb: it's ugly, but don't hate it - it
helps you to get on with your life.
