Linux analog TV support (via tv://) was excessively complex, and
whenever I attempted to use it (cameras or loopback devices), it didn't
work well, or would have required some major work to update it. It's
very much stuck in the analog past (my favorite are the frequency tables
in frequencies.c for analog TV channels which don't exist anymore).
Especially cameras and such work fine with libavdevice and better than
tv://, for example:
mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0
(adding --profile=low-latency --untimed even makes it mostly realtime)
Adding a new input layer that targets such "modern" uses would be
acceptable, if anyone is interested in it. The old TV code is just too
focused on actual analog TV.
DVB is rather obscure, but has an active maintainer, so don't remove it.
However, the demux/stream ctrl layer must go, so remove controls for
channel switching. Most of these could be reimplemented by using the
normal method for option runtime changes.
While they accept the frequency field with MHz for DVB-S,
for DVB-C and DVB-T, it may be in Hz, kHz or MHz.
The official rule is to multiply whatever is in the channels.conf
by 1000 until a value > 1000000 is reached to get correct units for tuning.
Manual changes done:
* Merged the interface-changes under the already master'd changes.
* Moved the hwdec-related option changes to video/decode/vd_lavc.c.
The demuxer cache is the only cache now. Might need another change to
combat seeking failures in mp4 etc. The only bad thing is the loss of
cache-speed, which was sort of nice to have.
The properties/commands touched in this commit are all for obscure
special inputs (BD/DVD/DVB/TV), and they all block on the demuxer/stream
layer. For network streams, this blocking is very unwelcome. They will
affect playback and probably introduce pauses and frame drops. The
player can even freeze fully, and the logic that tries to make playback
abortable even if frozen complicates the player.
Since the mentioned accesses are not needed for network streams, but
they will block on network streams even though they're going to fail,
add a flag that coarsely enables/disables these accesses. Essentially it
establishes a whitelist of demuxers/streams which support them.
In theory you could to access BD/DVD images over network (or add such
support, I don't think it's a thing in mpv). In these cases these
controls still can block and could even "freeze" the player completely.
Writing to the "program" and "cache-size" properties still can block
even for network streams. Just don't use them if you don't want freezes.
This should actually cover all of them, if you take into account that
some unchanged GPL source files include header files with such checks.
Also this was done already for the libaf derived code.
This is only for "safety" and to avoid misunderstandings.
ATSC is a mix of terrestrial and cable,
and depending on modulation is actually using
DVBC_ANNEX_B. Thus, we need to override the delivery
system depending on the modulation, channel by channel.

These values are kept with a different unit in VDR style config
for all delivery systems, not only for DVB-S / DVB-S2.

Multiple issues such as weird code with undefined behavior (like

so this commit should be reviewed and then merged again.

This fixes a crash when changing channels; previously stream->priv would not
be initialized when dvb_get_state reused the existing state.

Because it's kind of dumb. (But not sure if it was worth the trouble.)
For stream_file.c, we add new explicit fields. The rest are rather
special uses and can be killed by comparing the stream impl. name.
The changes to DVD/BD/CD/TV are entirely untested.
Most common case would be DVB-C / DVB-T combination cards.
Cards with multiple delivery systems are only supported
starting from DVBv5 API (Kernel 2.6.38).
In this case, we loop over all delivery systems and
just treat them as different cards would be treated:
They all get their own TUNER-type, channel-list parsing etc.
On read, it returns the name of the current DVB program,
on write, it triggers a channel-switch to the program
if it is found in the channel list of the currently active card.
Compared to the dvb-channel property which already exists
and is a pair of integers (card + channel number) this has the limitation
of not switching the card, but is probably of much more common use.
The mutex is used in dvbin_open and dvbin_close only since these are
the only entry / exit points to the stream.
When opening, it is first checked (mutexed) whether the state already exists
and is in use, then a STREAM_ERROR is returned,
since there may be only one stream_dvb active at a time.
State-creation itself is also protected by mutex.
In dvbin_close, the usage-bit is set to false (mutexed) in case
of channel switch.
In case of stream-teardown, the state is destructed
(also protected by mutex).
The state-structure is kept in a static pointer and reused on
recreation of the stream.
To not leak the state and the FDs within upon mpv shutdown,
the state-structure is still destructed gracefully in dvbin_close(),
unless a channel switch has been initiated directly before.
This fixes channel-switching for DVB which was broken since a609877.
The state-struct now contains everything which can be kept after initial initialization.
This includes the channel-lists, configuration, device-fds and also information like
current channel and current card.
The dvb_priv_t is kept containing the mp-options, a pointer to the state and to the logger.
After this restructuring, the state-struct contains all information which can be persisted
across channel switching.
This complains within dvb_strtok_r() that savePtr is uninitialized.
There doesn't seem to be any code path where this can happen though, so
it's probably a false positive. Silence it anyway.
This causes more constant reading from the DVB device,
and seems not to hurt the stream-controls.
As the device cache seems to fill up when not
reading from it for several seconds, reading
into the cache fixes desync-issues after
the initial analyzeduration of the demuxer.
Was already possible before by injecting the magic PID
8192 into channels.conf, the flag makes this much more
useable and we also have it documented.
Useful not only for debugging, but also for incomplete
channels.conf (mplayer format...), multi-channel
recording, or channels which do dynamic PID switchng.
full-transponder is also useful for channels which switch PIDs on-the-fly.
ffmpeg can handle this, but it needs the full stream with all PIDs.
There is the STD which contains service-names
(ffmpeg can understand it),
and the EIT which contains the EPG
(ffmpeg does not parse it, but e.g. VLC does).
As we now have more PIDs in general, increase the maximum
number of demuxers we can open. ffmpeg has an internal
limit of 64 PIDs, we are still far from that.
If VDR-channel-config is used, we know the service_id.
Using that, PMT can be extracted from PAT (code for that
inspired by szap-s2 again).
For this, we need to demux PAT with a special filter-setup,
and once PMT was found it can be added to the PID-list.
PMT is only resolved the first time one tunes to a channel,
then stored in the channel-list in memory.
With PMT available, ffmpeg can safely decode the teletext-pids.
I also added a comment explaining the potentially occuring structures for future reference.
For tokenization, a custom strtok_r implementation is used,
inspired by strtok_r as implemented in musl and ffmpeg,
hopefully slightly more readable (av_strtok_r is not available in libav,
and strtok_r is not available everywhere).
Move PID-string parsing into a separate function, reduces code-duplication.
Drop TPID-parsing again since teletext-stream seems not really correctly identified (ffmpeg guessed mp3 in my test...).
Parsing now done using strtok + sscanf instead of sscanfs with fixed numbers of expected fields -
gives more correct checking of PID-overflow, will allow VDR-style PID-field parsing.
The PID-parsing is not really nicely done and also does not yet handle the special VDR-style syntax.
A later commit will move the parsing to a separate function handling that which also checks that the maximum PID-count is not exceeded.
In mplayer-style channels-config, we had a LNB-field used for that.
In old VDR times, the location-field was also containing DISEQc information,
now it does that only indirectly (location => LNB => vdr knows from lnb-config).
We only accept it as this if the field is fully numeric.
Now also "stream ID" (for DVB-S2) and "inversion" are understood.
The parameter-string can also provide information on FEC, rolloff etc. For DVB-S, "auto" which mpv uses by default should be fine, I can also confirm it works. For non-DVB-S cards, it might be useful to also parse this information in case of a vdr-channel list.
As I have no such hardware and thus would have to do it blindly, I added a FIXME.
Mostly complete vdr-channels.conf format documentation is at http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Channels.conf (german only).
Still incomplete. Initialize is_dvb_s2 boolean in channel-struct.
We first check whether the channels.conf-line at hand is sscanf'able with a vdr-style pattern. If yes, we assume it is a vdr-channel-config (we check whether sscanf consumed the full line).
The vdr-style config also contains a parameter-string which contains information about polarization + delivery type (e.g. DVB-S2).
With this change, S2-tuning works with a VDR-channel list.
Missing (later commits):
- vdr-parameter-string also contains other information, e.g. invert-flag, needs to be parsed.
- Diseqc-lnb-number is not present in VDR-config (I believe it is handled via the location-parameter + lnb-config there). For backwards compatibility, the location-parameter can be the lnb-number - we should test whether it is an int and assume this in this case.
- VID, AID and TID-lists are extremely ugly in their syntax for VDR. At the moment, only the first number is parsed (and TID fully ignored), needs to be fixed.
Got lost some time ago. Although I'm not sure if it actually does
anything on MPlayer (it exists there, but might broken, not sure).
Fixes#988 (untested).
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.)
