Since for mpv CLI, the player state is a singleton, full prefetching is
a bit tricky. We do it only on the demuxer layer.
The implementation reuses the old "open thread". This means there is
significant potential for regressions even if the new option is not
used. This is made worse by the fact that I barely tested this code.
The generic mpctx_run_reentrant() wrapper is also removed - this was its
only user, and its remains become part of the new implementation.
As preparation for file prefetching, we basically have to get rid of
using mpctx->playback_abort for the main demuxer (i.e. the thing that
can be prefetched). It can't be changed on a running demuxer, and always
using the same cancel handle would either mean aborting playback would
also abort prefetching, or that playback can't be aborted anymore.
Make this more flexible with some refactoring.
Thi is a quite shitty solution if you ask me, but YOLO.
Requires a bunch of hacks:
- we access AVFilterLink.hw_frames_ctx. This is not a public API in
FFmpeg and Libav. Newer FFmpeg provides an accessor
(av_buffersink_get_hw_frames_ctx), but it's not available in Libav or
the current FFmpeg release or Libav. We need this value after filter
graph creation, so We have no choice but to access this.
One alternative is making filter creation and format negotiation
fully lazy (i.e. delay it and do it as filters are output), but this
would be a huge change.
So for now, we knowingly violate FFmpeg's and Libav's ABI and API
constraints because they don't provide anything better.
On newer FFmpeg, we use the (quite ugly) accessor, though.
- mp_image_params doesn't (and can't) have a field for the frames
context AVBufferRef. So we pass it via vf_set_proto_frame(), and even
more hacks.
- if a filter needs a hw context, but we haven't created one yet
(because normally we create them lazily), it will fail at init.
- we allow any hw format now, although this could go horrible wrong.
Why all this effort? We could move hw deinterlacing filters etc. to
FFmpeg, which is a very worthy goal.
Can break things quite badly.
Example: reloading a plugin linked against GTK 3.x can cause a segfault
if you call dlclose() on it. According to GTK developers, unloading the
GTK library is unsupported.
Give scripting backends a proper name, instead of calling everything
"scripts".
Log client exit directly in client.c, as that is more general (doesn't
change actual output).
This basically reuses the scripting infrastructure.
Note that this needs to be explicitly enabled at compilation. For one,
enabling export for certain symbols from an executable seems to be quite
toolchain-specific. It might not work outside of Linux and cause random
problems within Linux.
If C plugins actually become commonly used and this approach is starting
to turn out as a problem, we can build mpv CLI as a wrapper for libmpv,
which would remove the requirement that plugins pick up host symbols.
I'm being lazy, so implementation/documentation are parked in existing
files, even if that stuff doesn't necessarily belong there. Sue me, or
better send patches.
We have to perform some silly acrobatics to make the playback_thread()
exit, as the mpv_command() will error out with MPV_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED.
Test case: mpv_terminate_destroy(mpv_create())
Reported by a user on IRC.
mp_image_hw_download() is a libavutil wrapper added in the previous
commit. We drop our own code completely, as everything is provided by
libavutil and our helper wrapper.
This breaks the screenshot code, so that has to be adjusted as well.
Cover art handling is a disgusting hack that causes a mess in all
components. And this will stay this way. This is the Xth time I've
changed cover art handling, and that will probably also continue.
But change the code such that cover art is injected into the demux
packet stream, instead of having an explicit special case it in the
decoder glue code. (This is somewhat more similar to the cover art hack
in libavformat.)
To avoid that the over art picture is decoded again on each seek, we
need some additional "caching" in player/video.c. Decoding it after each
seek would work as well, but since cover art pictures can be pretty
huge, it's probably ok to invest some lines of code into caching it.
One weird thing is that the cover art packet will remain queued after
seeks, but that is probably not an issue.
In exchange, we can drop the dec_video.c code, which is pretty
convenient for one of the following commits. This code duplicates a
bunch of lower-level decode calls and does icky messing with this weird
state stuff, so I'm glad it goes away.
The property calls will always succeed anyway. On the other hand, the
error handling is kind of incomplete (doesn't check setting ab-loop-a
when ab-loop-b is also set), so drop this code.
Since there's no property yet that uses this type, and the code is used
for property change detection only. this is dead code. Add it anyway for
completeness.
Obvious mistake: we entered EOF drain mode if the decoder returned
AD_WAIT, which is very wrong. AD_WAIT means we should retry after
waiting for a while (or to be precise, until the demuxer/decoder
have more data). We should just pass down this status, and not
change the audio chain state.
This was exposed by a libavfilter EOF handling bug. Feeding a filter
chain with af_dynaudnorm, and sending an EOF before a frame is returned
makes it stuck and keeps returning EAGAIN, instead of returning the
buffered audio. In combination with the bug at hand, which entered
EOG drain mode, it could happen that it got stuck due to libavfilter
discarding buffered data each time the demuxer ran out of data.
Fixes#3997.
Was intended to show a "nice" message on edition switching. In practice,
the message was never visible. The OSD code checks whether a demuxer is
loaded, and if not, discards the message - meaning if the OSD code
happened to run before the demuxer was fully loaded, no message was
shown. This is apparently a regression due to extensions to the OSD and
the situations in which it can be used.
Remove the broken code since it's too annoying to fix. Instead, a
default property message will be shown, which is a bit uglier, but
actually not too unuseful.
Helps with gif, probably does unwanted things with other formats.
This doesn't handle --end quite correctly, but this could be added
later.
Fixes#3924.
Length property is deprecated and no longer works. This fixes
a bug when the total file duration wasn't visible if the
option to display milliseconds was activated.
Having empty space before the title in layout=*bar looks worse
than the floating buttons in layout=box.
Also disable both playlist buttons selectively according to the
current position.
The way playback/loading is stopped on the demuxer layer makes it report
an error to the higher levels of the player. But if playback/loading was
explicitly aborted, printing such an error is confusing and misleading.
This was probably just an oversight anyway. Fix it by using the libmpv
API reported error field instead, which handles this better.
Remove more stuff that was needed only for legacy suboptions.
One user-visible change is that parent-options like --tv are now not
visible anymore. They lead to a special error message when used before,
but now they're simply not part of the option list anymore.
For some reason, some types of accesses didn't warn, for example when
using mp.observe_property() in Lua. This was because the deprecation
handling code explicitly checks certain accesses. I'm not quite certain
why it was done this way. Just make it warn always.
This could be backported to the current release, if we cared.
As threatened by the API changes document.
We can actually keep the deprecated --playlist-pos and --cache options,
since they are aliases and not used by the corresponding properties.
They are inconsistent, but do no harm. Keep them for now for the sake of
the command line user.
mpv_identify.sh partially stopped working, because it was never updated.
The shell magic can't deal with property names that contain "/", so we
can't replace "samplerate" with "audio-params/samplerate" - just remove
these properties. (How about you use ffprobe?)
As threatened by the API changes document.
This commit also removes or stubs equivalent calls in IPC and Lua
scripting.
The stubs are left to maintain ABI compatibility. The semantics of the
API functions have been close enough to doing nothing that this probably
won't even break existing API users. Probably.
Run "playlist-remove current" while the last playlist entry is being
played stopped playback. Fix this and return to the first entry instead.
Fixes#3808.
If video reaches EOF, subtitle timing will be switched to timing without
video frames. This means it calls osd_set_force_video_pts() and
overrides the PTS of whatever video frame is current (since the video
frame's PTS has nothing to do with the current playback position
anymore).
This was not reset when seeking back into video. Subtitles wouldn't show
up, or if there was a subtitle displayed, it would get stuck with it. In
particular, this could happen even if EOF was only temporary (such as
with --keep-open).
Fix this by clearing the override PTS whenever a video frame is shown.
Fixes#3770.
Coverart mode has the same issue as no-video mode, except that the video
chain is fully active. It shows only 1 frame at the start, which would
normally mean that only the subtitle at timestamp 0 is shown. Use the
no-video subtitle rendering mode in this case instead.
(This still doesn't handle subtitle display when playing cover-art
without audio, or playing a single image. This is because there's
nothing that will advance playback_pts.)
This code would just keep it busy while e.g. being paused. Even if it's
not paused, it couldn't help with anything since we obviously still lock
display to the externally updated PTS.
This way people can still use the mouse to quickly check the elapsed time
without moving it all the way to the bottom while still having half the screen
to ignore mouse movement.
