The --loop option takes slightly different parameters now. --loop=0
used to mean looping forever. Now it means looping is disabled (this is
more logical: 2 means playing 2 more times, 1 means playing 1 more time,
and 0 should mean playing not again).
Now --loop=inf must be used to enable looping forever.
Extend choice types to allow an optional range of integers as values.
If CONF_RANGE is added to the flags of a m_option_type_choice option,
m_option.min/max specify a range of allowed integer values. This can be
used to remove "special" values from make integer range options. These
special values are unintuitive, and sometimes expose mplayer internals
to the user. The (internal) choice values can be freely mixed with the
specified integer value range. If there are overlaps, the choice values
are preferred for conversion to/from strings.
Also make sure the extension to choice options works with properties.
Add the ability to step choice properties downwards, instead of just
upwards.
It can't be re-implemented, because this isn't supported by libass. The
-subalign option and the associated sub-align slave property did
nothing. Remove them.
This was destroyed by Uoti Urpala in commit "subs: always use sub...".
Features should be either kept working or completely removed, but not
just crippled, which only inflates the code and frustrates users.
Remove subtitle selection code setting osd->ass_track directly and
vf_ass/vf_vo code rendering the track directly with libass. Instead,
do track selection and rendering with dec_sub.c functions.
Before, mpctx->set_of_ass_tracks[] contained bare libass tracks
generated from external subtitle files. For use with dec_sub.c, it now
contains struct sh_sub instances with decoder already initialized.
This commit breaks the sub_step command ('g' and 'y' keys) for
libass-rendered subtitles. It could be fixed, but it's so useless -
especially as with the existing implementation there's no practical
way to get subtitle delay back to normal after using it - that I
didn't bother.

To draw libass subtitles, the code used ASS_Renderer objects created
in vf_vo (VO rendering) or vf_ass. They were destroyed and recreated
together with the video filter chain. Change the code to use a single
persistent renderer instance stored in the main osd_state struct.
Because libass seems to misbehave if fonts are changed while a
renderer exists (even if ass_set_fonts() is called on the renderer
afterwards), the renderer is recreated after adding embedded fonts.
The known benefits are simpler code and avoiding delays when switching
between timeline parts from different files (libass fontconfig
initialization, needed when creating a new renderer, can take a long
time in some cases; switching between files rebuilds the video filter
chain, and this required recreating the renderers). On the other hand,
I'm not sure whether this could cause inefficient bitmap caching in
libass; explicitly resetting the renderer in some cases could be
beneficial. The new code does not keep the distinction of separate
renderers for vsfilter munged aspect vs normal; this means that
changing subtitle tracks can lose cache for the previous track.
The new code always sets some libass parameters on each rendering
call, which were previously only set if they had potentially changed.
This should be harmless as libass itself has checks to see if the
values differ from previous ones.

Add a new slave property which switches the current Matroska edition.
Since each edition can define an entirely new timeline, switching the
edition will simply restart playback at the beginning of the file with
the new edition selected.
Add 'E' as new keybinding to step the edition property.
DVD titles are still separate. Apparently they work similarly, but I
don't have any multi-title DVDs for testing. Also, cdda (for audio CDs)
uses the same mechanism as DVDs to report a number of titles, so there
seems to be confusion what exactly this mechanism is supposed to do.
That's why the edition code is completely separate for now.
Remove demuxer.num_titles. It was just a rather useless cache for the
return value of the DVD titles related STREAM_CTRL.
One rather obscure corner case isn't taken care of: if the ordered
chapters file has file local options set, they are reset on playback
restart. This is unexpected, because edition switching is meant to
behave like seeking back to the beginning of the file.
Introduce a general track struct for every audio/video/subtitle track
known to the frontend. External files (subtitles) are now represented
as tracks too. This mainly serves to clean up the subtitle selection
code: now every subtitle is simply a track, instead of using a messy
numbering that goes by subtitle type (as it was stored in the
global_sub_pos field). The mplayer fontend will list external subtitle
files as additional tracks.
The timeline code now tries to match the exact demuxer IDs of all
tracks. This may cause problems when Matroska files with different
track numberings are used with EDL timelines. Change demux_lavf not
to set demuxer IDs, since most time they are not set.
Whenever the demuxer is accessed to retrieve metadata, use the newly
introduced master_demuxer field instead. If a timeline is used, the
master_demuxer will still refer to the main file, instead to segments.
Instead of mpctx->demuxer->stream, access mpctx->stream; even though
they are the same, the code becomes shorter. For the TV code, introduce
a function get_tvh() to access the TV handle, instead of duplicating the
code all over the place. Often the demuxer field is checked to determine
whether something is currently played; prefer other methods over that.
Note that the code before always accessed the current timeline segment,
and would e.g. read file metadata of the current segment. Now it always
returns metadata for the master file. This may have various wanted and
unwanted effects.
This messes deeply with the subtitle bookkeeping data structures, and
would have to be reimplemented anyway.
It's not sure what this was even useful for. Possibly for slave mode.
When the internal mplayer MPEG demuxer was removed (commit 1fde09db),
the default demuxer when using dvdnav was set to libavformat. Now it
turns out that this doesn't work with libavformat. It will terminate
playback right after the audio runs out (instead of looping it like the
video, or whatever it's supposed to do). I'm not sure what exactly the
problem is, but since 1. even mplayer-svn can't handle DVD menus
directly (missing highlights), 2. DVD menus are essentially worthless,
and 3. I don't directly watch DVDs, don't bother with it and remove it.
For basic playback, there's still libdvdread support.
Also, use pkg-config for libdvdread, and drop support for in-tree
libdvdread. Remove support for in-tree libdvdcss as well.
Change "run" command to expand properties.

Commit 9c02ae7e95 set the sh variable (see diff) to the struct of
type sh_sub instead the one of sh_stream. Unfortunately this didn't
crash, and merely made the OSD show "unknown" for the language.
Commit 804bf91570 accidentally removed the display of the track
title. Add it back.
Skipping past the last chapter as user action means playback of the
current file should be ended. The code did this by doing a relative
seek by 1000000000 seconds, which usually caused playback to stop.
However, it displayed a quite ugly and arbitrary looking number in the
status display.
Fix this by explicitly skipping to the next file, instead of issuing a
seek command. (If there is no next file, the player will exit, just as
before.)
(Note: an alternative way to solve this could have been comparing the
mpctx->video_pts with the mpctx->last_seek_pts in print_status(). If
they're the same, it's likely that the video_pts was set to the seek
request time, and we could print another PTS or no PTS instead.)
This also requires that the OSD stack related functions carry a pointer
to MPContext.
Free the OSD stack items (mp_osd_msg) at exit by making MPContext the
talloc parent. (E.g. when exiting while something is still displayed on
the OSD.)
The only place exit_player() should be called is the main() function.
exit_player() should be the only function allowed to call exit(). This
makes it easier to guarantee proper deinitialization, and allows using
the --leak-report flag without showing false positives.
The quit slave command now sets a flag only. It uses the same mechanism
that's normally used to advance to the next file on the playlist, so the
rest of the playback path should be able to react to the quit command
quickly enough. That is, the player should react just as fast to quit
requests in practice as before this commit.
In reinit_audio_chain(), the player was actually exited if
init_audio_filters() failed. Reuse the normal error handling path to
handle this condition.
Commit 89a17bcda6 simplified the idle loop to run any commands
mplayer receives, not just playlist related commands. Unfortunately, it
turns out many slave commands always assume the presence of a demuxer.
MPContext->demuxer is assumed not to be NULL. This made the player
crash when receiving slave commands like pause/unpause, chapter
control, subtitle selection.
We want mplayer being able to handle this. Any slave command or
property, as long as it's backed by a persistent setting, should be run
successfully, even if no file is being played. If the slave command
doesn't make sense in this state, it shouldn't crash the player.
Insert some NULL checks when accessing demuxers. If sh_video or
sh_audio are not NULL, assume demuxer can't be NULL.
(There actually aren't that many properties which need to be changed. If
it gets too complicated, we could employ alternative mechanisms instead,
such as explicitly marking safe properties with a flag.)
There are different C types for each stream type: sh_video for video,
sh_audio for audio, sh_sub for sub. There is no type that handles all
stream types in a generic way. Instead, there's a macro SH_COMMON, that
is used to define common fields for all 3 stream structs. Accessing
the common fields is hard if you want to be independent from the stream
type.
Introduce an actual generic stream struct (struct sh_stream), which is
supposed to unify all 3 stream types one day. Once all fields defined
by SH_COMMON have been moved into sh_stream, the transition is complete.
Move some fields into sh_stream, and rewrite osd_show_tracks to use
them.
mp_property_audio switched the audio stream, but didn't store the newly
requested audio ID to MPOpts.audio_id, which is used by --aid. This
meant that the audio track would be reset when advancing to a new file.
Change that to make it consistent with subtitle selection. (Whether this
behavior is a good idea or not is a different question - maybe it's not
a good idea, because tracks are essentially random, and this will
disable default selection of tracks.)
The SH_COMMON lang field seems to be blatantly unreliable and is not
always set by demux_lavf (at least not with dvdnav:// ).
Also fix the same for the show_tracks_osd slave command.
Code cleanup: Use a stream_control instead of global functions to
get the language associate with a audio or subtitle stream from
the streaming layer.

Teletext requires special OSD support. Because I can't even test
teletext, I can't restore support for it. Since teletext can be
considered ancient and obscure, and since it doesn't make sense to keep
the remaining teletext code without being able to use it, I'm removing
it.
While this was an interesting idea, it wasn't actually useful.
Basically it dumped the raw data (as requested by the demuxer) into a
file. The result is only useful if the file format was raw or maybe
some MPEG packet stream, but not with most modern file formats.
The code to format the playback time was duplicated a few times. There
were also minor differences in how the time is formatted. Remove most
of these differences. This also fixes a bug in the output of the
osd_show_progression command, introduced in 74e7a1e937.
There was some logic to display the percent position in the OSD status
for a short while after seeking. Remove that logic and always display
the percent position.
Make --osd-fractions a flag option. This removes the ability to show
the number of frames played since the start of the current second
(i.e. the fraction of the time was turned into a frame number). This
features wasn't so great anyway, because modern video file formats
don't always have a (valid) FPS set, and could lead to inaccurate
display.
Still to sort out:
Unfortunately, the terminal status is still formatted differently from
the OSD, and even worse, it has a completely different time source.
Not sure if I like how the status line looks now (it's a bit "full"?).
Maybe it will be changed again later.
Summary:
- There is no playtree anymore. It's reduced to a simple list.
- Options are now always global. You can still have per-file options,
but these are optional and require special syntax.
- The slave command pt_step has been removed, and playlist_next
and playlist_prev added. (See etc/input.conf changes.)
This is a user visible incompatible change, and will break slave-mode
applications.
- The pt_clear slave command is renamed to playlist_clear.
- Playtree entries could have multiple files. This is not the case
anymore, and playlist entries have always exactly one entry. Whenever
something adds more than one file (like ASX playlists or dvd:// or
dvdnav:// on the command line), all files are added as separate
playlist entries.
Note that some of the changes are quite deep and violent. Expect
regressions.
The playlist parsing code in particular is of low quality. I didn't try
to improve it, and merely spent to least effort necessary to keep it
somehow working. (Especially ASX playlist handling.)
The playtree code was complicated and bloated. It was also barely used.
Most users don't even know that mplayer manages the playlist as tree,
or how to use it. The most obscure features was probably specifying a
tree on command line (with '{' and '}' to create/close tree nodes). It
filled the player code with complexity and confused users with weird
slave commands like pt_up.
Replace the playtree with a simple flat playlist. Playlist parsers that
actually return trees are changed to append all files to the playlist
pre-order.
It used to be the responsibility of the playtree code to change per-file
config options. Now this is done by the player core, and the playlist
code is free of such details.
Options are not per-file by default anymore. This was a very obscure and
complicated feature that confused even experienced users. Consider the
following command line:
mplayer file1.mkv file2.mkv --no-audio file3.mkv
This will disable the audio for file2.mkv only, because options are
per-file by default. To make the option affect all files, you're
supposed to put it before the first file.
This is bad, because normally you don't need per-file options. They are
very rarely needed, and the only reasonable use cases I can imagine are
use of the encode backend (mplayer encode branch), or for debugging. The
normal use case is made harder, and the feature is perceived as bug.
Even worse, correct usage is hard to explain for users.
Make all options global by default. The position of an option isn't
significant anymore (except for options that compensate each other,
consider --shuffle --no-shuffle).
One other important change is that no options are reset anymore if a
new file is started. If you change settings with slave mode commands,
they will not be changed by playing a new file. (Exceptions include
settings that are too file specific, like audio/subtitle stream
selection.)
There is still some need for per-file options. Debugging and encoding
are use cases that profit from per-file options. Per-file profiles (as
well as per-protocol and per-VO/AO options) need the implementation
related mechanisms to backup and restore options when the playback file
changes.
Simplify the save-slot stuff, which is possible because there is no
hierarchical play tree anymore. Now there's a simple backup field.
Add a way to specify per-file options on command line. Example:
mplayer f1.mkv -o0 --{ -o1 f2.mkv -o2 f3.mkv --} f4.mkv -o3
will have the following options per file set:
f1.mkv, f4.mkv: -o0 -o3
f2.mkv, f3.mkv: -o0 -o3 -o1 -o2
The options --{ and --} start and end per-file options. All files inside
the { } will be affected by the options equally (similar to how global
options and multiple files are handled). When playback of a file starts,
the per-file options are set according to the command line. When
playback ends, the per-file options are restored to the values when
playback started.
This was intended for translating filenames from filesystem charset to
the terminal charset. Modern sane platforms use UTF-8 for everything,
and on Windows we use unicode APIs, so this is not needed anymore.
Remove filename_recode, all uses of it, options and configure checks
related to terminal output charset, and code that tries to determine
the same.
Most of these demuxers and decoders are provided in better form by
libav, while the mplayer builtin ones are essentially unmaintained. The
only legimitate use case for not using the libav ones was working around
libav bugs or bugs related to the way mplayer uses libav. Instead of
trying to keep dead code alive, development effort should go into
improving libav or the mplayer libav glue code.
Note that the libav demuxer have been preferred over the mplayer builtin
ones for a while in mplayer2. There were some exceptions: playing DVDs
with dvdnav or playing network sources. (That's because some stream
modules and network.c requested explicit file formats, such as
DEMUXER_TYPE_MPEG_PS, which mapped to builtin demuxers.) With this
commit, they are switched to use libav. One caveat is that the requested
format is not passed to libavformat, instead we rely on the auto probing
to select the correct libav demuxer (see code in demux_open_stream()).
The OSD will now be rendered with libass. The old rendering code, which
used freetype/fontconfig and did text layout manually, is disabled. To
re-enable the old code, use the --disable-libass-osd configure switch.
Some switches do nothing with the new code enabled, such as -subalign,
-sub-bg-alpha, -sub-bg-color, and many more. (The reason is mostly that
the code for rendering unstyled subtitles with libass doesn't make any
attempts to support them. Some of them could be supported in theory.)
Teletext rendering is not implemented in the new OSD rendering code. I
don't have any teletext sources for testing, and since teletext is
being phased out world-wide, the need for this is questionable.
Note that rendering is extremely inefficient, mostly because the libass
output is blended with the extremely strange mplayer OSD format. This
could be improved at a later point.
Remove most OSD rendering from vo_aa.c, because that was extremely
hacky, can't be made work with osd_libass, and didn't work anyway in
my tests.
Internally, some cleanup is done. Subtitle and OSD related variable
declarations were literally all over the place. Move them to sub.h and
sub.c, which were hoarding most of these declarations already. Make the
player core in mplayer.c free of concerns like bitmap font loading.
The old OSD rendering code has been moved to osd_ft.c. The font_load.c
and font_load_ft.c are only needed and compiled if the old OSD
rendering code is configured.
The command lists the audio and subtitle tracks in the current file on the
OSD. It also marks the currently active streams.
Video streams are not shown, as files with more than one video stream are
exceedingly rare.
The command lists the chapters in the current file on the OSD. It also
marks the current chapter.
This is actually a cheap replacement for the chapter select libmenu
functionality.

Replace my mixer changes with uau's implementation, which is based on
my code.
The player tried to disable mute before exiting, so that if mute is
emulated by setting volume to 0 and the volume setting is a
system-global one, we don't leave it at 0. However, the logic doing
this at process exit was flawed, as volume settings are handled by
audio output instances and the audio output that set the mute state
may have been closed earlier. Trying to write reliably working logic
that restores volume at exit only would be tricky, so change the code
to always unmute an audio driver before closing it and restore mute
status if one is opened again later.
Restore the audio balance setting when the audio chain is
reinitialized (also after switching to another file).
Also add a note about the balance code being seriously buggy.
Current volume was always queried from the the audio output driver (or
filter in case of --softvol). The only case where it was stored on
mixer level was that when turning off mute, volume was set to the
value it had before mute was activated. Change the mixer code to
always store the current target volume internally. It still checks for
significant changes from external sources and resets the internal
value in that case.
The main functionality changes are:
Volume will now be kept separately from mute status. Increasing or
decreasing volume will now change it relative to the original value
before mute, even if mute is implemented by setting AO level volume to
0. Volume changes no longer automatically disable mute. The exception
is relative changes up (like the volume increase key in default
keybindings); that's the only case which still disables mute.
Keeping the value internally avoids problems with granularity of
possible volume values supported by AO. Increase/decrease keys could
work unsymmetrically, or when specifying a smaller than default
--volstep, even fail completely. In one case occurring in practice, if
the AO only supports changing volume in steps of about 2 and rounds
down the requested volume, then volume down key would decrease by 4
but volume up would increase by 2 (previous volume plus or minus the
default change of 3, rounded down to a multiple of 2). Now, the
internal value will keep full precision.
Timeline handling converted the pts values from demuxed subtitles to
timeline scale. Change the code to do most subtitle handling in
original subtitle source pts, and instead convert current playback
timeline pts to those units when deciding which subtitle to show.
The main functionality changes are that now demuxed subtitles which
overlap chapter boundaries are handled correctly (at least for libass
subtitles), and external subtitles are assumed to use same pts scale
as current source (this needs improvements later).
Before, a video subtitle that had a duration continuing past the end
of the chapter would continue to be shown for the original duration,
even if the chapter ended and playback switched to a position in the
source where the subtitle shouldn't exist. Now, the subtitle will
correctly end.
Before, external subtitle files were interpreted as specifying pts
values in timeline scale. Now, they're interpreted as specifying pts
values in source file time scale, for _every_ source file. This is
probably more likely to be what the user wants for the "main" source
file in case there is one, but almost certainly not quite right for
multiple source files where the same subs could be shown over
different scenes. If the user wants them to match some main source
file, it's probably still better to have incorrect extra subs for
video from some files than to have every subtitle appearing at the
wrong time. The new code makes it easier to change the interpretation
of the subtitle times, and some configurability should be added in
the future.
Remove the old EDL implementation that was activated with the --edl
option. It is mostly redundant and inferior compared to the newer
demux_edl support, though currently there's no support for using the
same EDL files with the new implementation and the mute functionality
of the old implementation is not supported. The main reason to remove
the old implementation at this point is that the mute functionality
would conflict with following audio volume handling changes, and
working on the old code would be a wasted effort in the long run as at
some point it would be removed anyway.
The --edlout functionality is kept for now, even though after this
commit there is no code that could directly read its output.
Some of the code, especially the dshow and windows codec loader parts,
are extremely hacky and likely full of bugs. The goal is merely getting
rid of warnings that could obscure more important warnings and actual
bugs, instead of fixing actual problems. This reduces the number of
warnings from over 500 to almost the same as when compiling on Linux.
Note that many problems stem from using the ancient wine-derived
windows headers. There are some differences to the "proper" windows
header. Changing the code to compile with the proper headers would be
too much trouble, and it still has to work on Unix.
Some of the changes might actually break compilation on legacy MinGW,
but we don't support that anymore. Always use MinGW-w64, even when
compiling to 32 bit.
Fixes some warnings in the win32 loader code on Linux too.
This deletes all playlist elements, except the currently active
playlist entry.
NOTE: this doesn't remove parent nodes in the case when we really have
a play tree (as opposed to a play list). Apparently this doesn't cause
any harm.
I'm not sure what's the point of this feature. Aside from that, the EDL
code is relatively buggy anyway, and I see no reason why such an obscure
feature should be left in, if it possibly causes bugs.
Before this commit, the mute state was only reset when either mute was
explicitly cleared, or the volume was changed via mplayer controls. If
the volume controls are connected to the system mixer, and the system
mixer volume is changed otherwise (e.g. with alsamixer), the mute
setting was inconsistent.
Avoid this by checking the volume. If the returned volume is not 0, the
mute flag is considered invalid. This relies on system mixers always
returning a volume of 0 when mplayer has set the volume 0.
Possible caveat: if the audio output's volume control don't return a
volume of exactly 0 after 0 was written, enabling mute basically won't
work. It will set the volume to silence, forget the previous volume, and
report that mute is disabled.
