This fixes weird behavior in the following case: - open a file - make sure the max. demuxer forward cache is smaller than the file's video track - make sure the max. readahead duration is larger than the file's duration - disable the audio track - seek to the beginning of the file - once the cache has filled enable the audio track - a queue overflow warning should appear (- looking at the seek ranges is also interesting) The queue overflow warning happens because the packed queue for the video track will use up the full quota set by --demuxer-max-bytes. When the audio track is enabled, reading an audio packet would technically overflow the packet cache by the size of whatever packet is read next. This means the demuxer signals EOF to the decoder, and once playback has consumed enough video packets so that audio packets can be read again, the decoder resumes from EOF. This interacts badly with A/V synchronization and the whole thing can randomly crap itself until audio has fully recovered. We didn't care about this so far, but we want to raise the readahead duration to something very high, so that the demuxer cache is fully used. This means this case can be hit quite quickly by switching audio or subtitle tracks, and is not really an obscure corner case anymore. Fix this by always losing all cache. Since the cache can't be used anyway until the newly selected track has been read, this is not much of a disadvantage. The only thing that could be brought up is that unselecting the track again could resume operation normally. (Maybe this would be useful if network died completely without chance of recovery. Then you could watch the already buffered video anyway by deselecting the audio track again.) But given the headaches, this seems like the better solution. Unfortunately this requires adding new new strange fields and strangely fragmenting state management functions again. I'm sure whoever works on this in the future will hate me. Currently it seems like the lesser evil, and much simpler and robust than the other potential solutions. In case this needs to be revisited, here is a reminder for readers from the future what alternative solutions were considered, without those disadvantages: A first attempted solution allowed the demuxer to buffer some additional packets on track switching. This would allow it to read enough data to feed the decoder at least. But it was still awkward, as it didn't allow the demuxer to continue prefetching the newly selected track. It also barely worked, because you could make the forward buffer "over full" by seeking back with seekable cache enabled, and then it couldn't read packets anyway. As alternative solution, we could always demux and cache all tracks, even if they're deselected. This would also not require a network-level seek for the "refresh" logic (it's the thing that lets the video decoder continue as if nothing happened, while actually seeking back in the stream to get the missing audio packets, in the case of enabling a previously disabled audio track). But it would also possibly waste network and memory resources, depending on what the user actually wants. A second solution would just account the queue sizes for each stream separately. We could freely fill up the audio packet queue, even if the video queue is full. Since the demuxer API returns interleaved packets and doesn't let you predict which packet type comes next, this is not as simple as it sounds, but it'd probably tie in nicely with the "refresh" logic. A third solution would be removing buffered video packets from the end of the packet queue. Since the "refresh" logic gets these anyway, there is no reason to keep them if they prevent the audio packet queue from catching up with the video one. But this would require additional logic, would interact badly with a bunch of other corner cases. And as far as the code goes, it's rather complex, because all the logic is written with FIFO behavior in mind (including the fact that the packet queue is a singly linked list with no backwards links, making removal from the end harder). |
