This only existed as essentially a workaround for meson's behavior and
to maintain compatibility with the waf build. Since waf put everything
in a generated subdirectory, we had to put make a subdirectory called
"generated" in the source for meson so stuff could go to the right
place. Well now we don't need to do that anymore. Move the meson.build
files around so they go in the appropriate place in the subdirectory of
the source tree and change the paths of the headers accordingly. A
couple of important things to note.
1. mpv.com now gets made in build/player/mpv.com (necessary because of
a meson limitation)
2. The macos icon generation path is shortened to
TOOLS/osxbundle/icon.icns.inc.
Add an option for allowing pointer events to pass through the mpv
window. This could be useful in cases where a user wants to display
transparent images/video with mpv and interact with applications beneath
the window. This commit implements this functionality for x11 and
wayland. Note that whether or not this actually works likely depends on
your window manager and/or compositor. E.g. sway ignores pointer events
but the entire window becomes draggable when you float it (nothing under
the mpv window receives events). Weston behaves as expected however so
that is a compositor bug. Excuse the couple of completely unrelated
style fixes (both were originally done by me).
Some platforms (wayland) apparently have a lot of trouble with drag and
drop. The default behavior is still the same which is basically obeying
what we get from the window manager/compositor, but the --drag-and-drop
option allows forcibly overriding the drag and drop behavior. i.e. you
can force it to always replace the playlist or append at the end. This
only implements this in X11 and Wayland but in theory windows and macos
could find this option useful (both hardcode the shift key for
appending). Patches welcome.
mpv's window resizing logic always automatically resized the window
whenever the video resolution changed (i.e. advancing forward in a
playlist). This simply introduces the option to make this behavior
configurable. Every windowing backend would need to implement this
behavior in their code since a reconfigure event must always be a
resize. The params of the frame changed so you either have to resize the
window to the new size of the params or make the params the same size as
the window. This commit implements it for wayland, win32, and x11.
There's several functions that are used for initializing mpv on a
certain platform (x11, wayland, etc.). These currently are all int, but
they actually return 1 and 0 like a boolean. This gets a bit confusing
because actual vo preinit functions return 0 and -1 instead. Just make
these all bool instead and return true/false to make it clearer.
Since the modesetting driver now has TearFree support with integration into
xpresent, it's important that xpresent is used with the modesetting driver
to get the correct vsync timing when a frame is delayed by one vblank
interval due to a pending page-flip enqueued by a different entity. The
modesetting driver ensures that the xpresent extension reports the correct
presentation timing when TearFree is used; mpv just needs to listen to it.
Add the modesetting driver to the xpresent whitelist so mpv can get the
correct presentation completion timing when modesetting TearFree is used.
This is also helpful for when xpresent performs page flips directly in the
modesetting driver and a natural delay in the display pipeline causes a
page flip to be delayed by one vblank interval or more.
currently only supported on x11.
one practical use-case of this is wanting to embed something (such as
dmenu) into the mpv window to use as a menu/selection. there might be
other use-cases as well (e.g doing some shenanigans with `xdotool` or
whatnot).
it's currently possible to:
* listen for 'current-window-scale' change (to check if the
window has been created or not)
* call an external tool like `xdo` or `xdotool` and grab the xid
from mpv's pid.
however it adds unnecessary dependency on external tools when mpv is
fully capable of easily providing this information.
closes: #10918
mpv has an internal optimization on a couple of platforms where it will
not render any frames if the window is minimized or hidden. There's at
least once possible use case for wanting to force a render anyway
(screensharing with pipeware) so let's just add a simple switch for
this that always forces mpv to render. Closes#10846.
In practice this never led to any issues due to implementation
details of bstr_sanitize_utf8_latin1, but there's no guarantee that
a bstr is correctly null-terminated.
mpv set _NET_WM_DESKTOP to 0xFFFFFFFF, which behaves differently with each window manager.
Instead, set the window property to STICKY, and let the window managers deal with it.
Managed to go completely unnoticed for months (who was the bad person
that introduced these*). Fairly self-explanatory. After getting
ProviderInfo from randr, we need to free it. The other one is pretty bad
because it leaked every frame (ouch). It turns out that you're supposed
to free any event data after you cast a generic event to an
XGenericEventCookie. Free that as well.
*: It was me.
Unexpectedly, x11->screenrc actually doesn't update with randr events.
In a multimonitor configuration it could easily be wrong depending on
the user's layout. While it's tempting to modify the logic so screenrc
changes with randr events, this rectangle is currently used everywhere
and as far as we know, this pretty much works fine. Instead, just loop
over the randr displays that we have and select it if it overlaps with
the winrc. This follows the same logic as the fps selection in the case
of the mpv window overlapping multiple monitors (the last one is
selected).
This commit kind of mixes several related things together. The main
thing is to avoid calling any XPresent functions or internal functions
related to presentation when the feature is not auto-whitelisted or
enabled by the user. Internally rework this so it all works off of a
use_present bool (have_present is eliminated because having a non-zero
present_code covers exactly the same thing) and make sure it updates on
runtime. Finally, put some actual logging in here whenever XPresent is
enabled/disabled. Fixes#10326.
With the recent addition of the libxpresent, it should improve frame
timings for most users. However, there were known cases of bad behavior
(Nvidia) which lead to a construction of a whitelist instead of just
enabling this all the time. Since there's no way to predict whatever
combination of hardware/drivers/etc. may work correctly, just give users
an option to switch the usage of xorg's presentation statistics on/off.
The default value, auto, works like before (basically, Mesa drivers and
no Nvidia are allowed), but now one can force it on/off if needed.
The old logic always reset the x11->has_mesa/has_nvidia values on every
loop through the provider. This meant that it would always just match
whatever the last provider happened to be. So in the case of a dual GPU
system, if nvidia was the very first provider and the integrated
intel/amd card was the second (in practice, this is probably mostly the
other way around), then mpv would set has_mesa to true and has_nvidia to
false and thus try to use presentation. This is not the intended
behavior. Just rework this by also checking x11->has_mesa/has_nvidia in
the loop so a true value from the previous iteration is preserved.
This builds off of present_sync which was introduced in a previous
commit to support xorg's present extension in all of the X11 backends
(sans vdpau) in mpv. It turns out there is an Xpresent library that
integrates the xorg present extention with Xlib (which barely anyone
seems to use), so this can be added without too much trouble. The
workflow is to first setup the event by telling Xorg we would like to
receive PresentCompleteNotify (there are others in the extension but
this is the only one we really care about). After that, just call
XPresentNotifyMSC after every buffer swap with a target_msc of 0. Xorg
then returns the last presentation through its usual event loop and we
go ahead and use that information to update mpv's values for vsync
timing purposes. One theoretical weakness of this approach is that the
present event is put on the same queue as the rest of the XEvents. It
would be nicer for it be placed somewhere else so we could just wait
on that queue without having to deal with other possible events in
there. In theory, xcb could do that with special events, but it doesn't
really matter in practice.
Unsurprisingly, this doesn't work on NVIDIA. Well NVIDIA does actually
receive presentation events, but for whatever the calculations used make
timings worse which defeats the purpose. This works perfectly fine on
Mesa however. Utilizing the previous commit that detects Xrandr
providers, we can enable this mechanism for users that have both Mesa
and not NVIDIA (to avoid messing up anyone that has a switchable
graphics system or such). Patches welcome if anyone figures out how to
fix this on NVIDIA.
Unlike the EGL/GLX sync extensions, the present extension works with any
graphics API (good for vulkan since its timing extension has been in
development hell). NVIDIA also happens to have zero support for the
EGL/GLX sync extensions, so we can just remove it with no loss. Only
Xorg ever used it and other backends already have their own present
methods. vo_vdpau VO is a special case that has its own fancying timing
code in its flip_page. This presumably works well, and I have no way of
testing it so just leave it as it is.
Unfortunately there's a certain company that makes graphics drivers that
are harder to deal with. The next commit aims to implement presentation,
but some empirical testing from users show that it's actually broken.
Give up and just tap into Xrandr so we can figure what drivers (or well,
providers by the extension terminology) are driving the screen.
Basically if we find intel, amd, or radeon, assume it's a Mesa driver.
If we find nvidia, then it must be nvidia. This detection requires randr
1.4 (which means using presentation in mpv secretly depends on randr
1.4), but this protocol version is nearly a decade old anyway so
probably 99.9% of users are fine. Do the version query check and all
that anyway just to be on the safe side.
Because wayland is a special snowflake, mpv wound up incorporating a lot
of logic into its render loop where visibilty checks are performed
before rendering anything (in the name of efficiency of course). Only
wayland actually uses this, but there's no reason why other backends
(x11 in this commit) can't be smarter. It's far easier on xorg since we
can just query _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN directly and not have to do silly
callback dances.
The function, vo_x11_check_net_wm_state_change, already tracks net wm
changes, including _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN. There is an already existing
window_hidden variable but that is actually just for checking if the
window was mapped and has nothing to do with this particular atom. mpv
also currently assumes that a _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN is exactly the same
as being minimized but according to the spec, that's not neccesarily
true (in practice, it's likely that these are the same though). Anyways,
just keep track of this state in a new variable (hidden) and use that
for determing if mpv should render or not.
There is one catch though: this cannot work if a display sync mode is
used. This is why the previous commit is needed. The display sync modes
in mpv require a blocking vsync implementation since its render loop is
directly driven by vsync. In xorg, if nothing is actually rendered, then
there's nothing for eglSwapBuffers (or FIFO for vulkan) to block on so
it returns immediately. This, of course, results in completely broken
video. We just need to check to make sure that we aren't in a display
sync mode before trying to be smart about rendering. Display sync is
power inefficient anyways, so no one is really being hurt here. As an
aside, this happens to work in wayland because there's basically a
custom (and ugly) vsync blocking function + timeout but that's off
topic.
9a7b2015e1 added the --screen-name option
for x11, but it was unfortunately broken. The commit does correctly
handle vo_x11_update_screeninfo and select the correct screen. However,
vo_x11_sizehint was missed. Specifically, the force_pos bool was always
false because it only took into account --screen being set and not
--screen-name. To fix this, just add an extra condition to the force_pos
bool so it becomes true if there's a string in --screen_name. Fixes
issue #9877.
Both _NET_WM_NAME and _NET_WM_ICON_NAME (part of Extended Window Manager
Hints) require that the string is UTF-8*. mpv was not doing this and
thus violating the spec. Just sanitize the title for these two atoms.
Note that XA_WM_NAME and XA_WM_ICON_NAME have no such requirement so
those atoms are left the same. Fixes#8812.

Back when runtime updating of autofit/geometry was added for wayland and
x11 (commits: 4445ac828d and
ced92ba607 respectively), the naive
assumption was that window-related geometry would always be available.
While this is true 99% of the time, this isn't a guarentee. It is
possible for certain things such as loading shaders to delay starting up
the player. This causes autofit/geometry options to be registered as a
runtime update and triggers VOCTRL_VO_OPTS_CHANGED. This ends up calling
some geometry-related functions but this happens before the actual
values are available. Hence, a nullptr was accessed which segfaults. At
least one user experienced this with a combination of options in wayland
but in theory the same thing could happen under x11.
The fix is simple. Just be sure to check that the required geometry is
available before doing any calculations. In wayland, this would be
wl->current_output. Additionally add an assert to set_geometry (we
should never use this function without wl->current_output) to be extra
sure. In x11, the check is on x11->window. Later when the reconfig for
each backend actually happens, the autofit/geometry set by the user
happens anyway so ignoring it in this case does no harm. Fixes#9381.
If a user attempted to change the window scale of a maximized window on
x11, nothing would happen since the window manager holds the size of the
window constant. Just do an unmaximize first before performing the
resize.
For some reason, this never existed before. Add VOCTRL_GET_DISPLAY_RES
and use it to obtain the current display's resolution from each
vo/windowing backend if applicable. Users can then access the current
display resolution as display-width and display-height as per the client
api. Note that macOS/cocoa was not attempted in this commit since the
author has no clue how to write swift.
If the window is maximized, we can't change the size immediately. In
that case, we set a bool and wait for the state to change before
triggering the resize.
The --screen-name and --fs-screen-name options allow for specifying
screens based on their name. For x11, this is the display name reported
by xrandr. --screen-name and --fs-screen-name mimic the --screen and
--fs-screen options respectively. If --screen is set, then --screen-name
will always do nothing. Likewise, --fs-screen-name does nothing if
--fs-screen is set.
Add a property that returns whether the window is focused, currently
only for X11 and Wayland.
My use cause for this is having an equivalent of pause-when-minimize.lua
for tiling window managers: make mpv play only while it's in the current
workspace or is focused (I'm fine with either one but prefer focus).
On X I do this by observing display-names, which is empty when the
rectangles of the display and mpv don't intersect, but on Wayland its
value doesn't change when mpv leaves the current workspace (and the same
check doesn't work since the geometries still intersect).
This could later be made writable as requested in #6252.
Note that on Wayland se shouldn't consider an unactivated window with
keyboard input focused.
The wlroots compositors I tested set activated after changing the
keyboard focus, so if you set wl->focused only in
keyboard_handle_enter() and keyboard_handle_leave() to avoid adding the
"has_keyboard_input" member, focused isn't set to true when first
opening mpv until you focus another window and focus mpv again.
Conversely, if that order can't be assumed for all compositors, we
should toggle wl->focused when necessary in keyboard_handle_enter() and
keyboard_handle_leave() as well as in handle_toplevel_config().
Mess this into the --geometry option, because I like to be
irresponsible. I considered adding a separate option, but at least this
allows me to defer the question how the hell this should work as
property (geometry simply and inherently does not).
Tested on IceWM only. Option equality test and string output not tested.
I'm tired of dealing with this frequent spawning of xdg-screensaver when
debugging and what not. xdg-screensaver was never a serious tool anyway,
it's more like some self-deprecating joke by FDO folks.
This will affect X11 on GNOME and other DEs. I'm singling out GNOME
though, because they are the ones actively sabotaging any sane
technical solutions and community cooperation.
I have been accused of taking it out on innocent GNOME users, while none
of this will reach GNOME developers. Of course that is not the
intention.
When the window is mapped, some ICCCM WM_HINTS are set.
The input field is set to true and state is set to NormalState.
To quote the spec, "The input field is used to communicate to the window
manager the input focus model used by the client" and "[c]lients with
the Passive and Locally Active models should set the input flag to True".
mpv falls under the Passive Input model, since it expects keyboard input,
but only listens for key events on its single, top-level window instead
of subordinate windows (Locally Active) or the root window (Globally
Active).
From the end users prospective, all EWMH/ICCCM compliant WMs (especially
the minimalistic ones) will allow the user to focus mpv, which will allow
mpv to receive key events. If the input field is not set, WMs are
allowed to assume that mpv doesn't require focus.
This was changed 6 years ago (444e583b6) and seemed to work fine. But it
does seem to cause issues with IceWM sometimes, while with StaticGravity
the problem is gone. Comparing both gravity values, reading the confused
source code comment, and reading the referenced commit message, I can't
determine what it even does, I just remove it.
Reproduction:
- start mpv in windowed mode, with 2 videos of different size
- switch to second video
- switch window with alt+tab
- switch back to mpv with alt+tab
- window moves to X=0
There's probably a better way to fix this. Please send a patch.
Apparently there are two different options for controlling which
screen an mpv window goes onto: --fs-screen and --screen. The former
explicitly only controls which screen a fullscreened window goes onto,
but does not appear to actually care about this option at runtime for
X11, so pressing f will always fullscreen to the screen mpv is currently
on. This means the option is of questionable usefulness for starters.
Making it worse, if you use --screen=1 --fs, mpv will actually fullscreen
on screen 0, because --fs-screen isn't set. Instead of doing that, fall
back to whatever --screen is set to.
(X11 does not support different per-screen DPI (or only via hacks), so
this is pretty simple. If other backends are going to implement this,
then they should send VO_EVENT_WIN_STATE if the DPI for the mpv window
changes by moving it to another screen or such.)
The size overflow check was inverted: instead of allowing reading only
the first dst_size bytes of the property, it allowed copying past the
property buffer (as returned by xlib). xlib doesn't return the size of
the buffer in bytes, so it has to be computed and checked manually.
Wouldn't it be great if C allowed me to write the overflow check in a
readable way, so it doesn't trick me into writing dumb security bugs?
Relying on X security is even dumber than creating a X security bug,
though, so this was not a real problem. But I found that one specific
call tried to read more than what the property provided, so reduce that.
Also, len*ib obviously can't overflow, so there's an additional layer of
dumb to this whole thing.
While we're at dumb things, why the hell does xlib use "long" for 32 bit
types. It's a god damn pain.
In this combination, the [current-]window-scale properties still
incorrectly applied scaling.
For some reason, vo_calc_window_geometry2() handled this option
(basically ignored the dpi_scale parameter passed to it), but since the
DPI compensation for window-scale is implemented in x11_common.c, we
need to check and honor this option here too. (What a mess.)
"window-scale" is 1.0 by default; however, x11 implicitly set that to
2.0 on hidpi screens. This made the default 2.0, which was inconsistent
with the option. The "window-scale" property jumped from 1.0 to 2.0 when
a window was created.
Avoid this by factoring the DPI into the window-scale. This makes the
UNFS_WINDOW_SIZE return a virtual size; since this value is used for the
window-scale property only, this is fine and has no further
consequences. (Originally, this was possibly meant to be used for other
purposes, but I'm perfectly fine with redoing this again should that
ever happen.)
This changes user-visible behavior, and it's as if setting window-scale
multiplies its argument by 2 suddenly. Hopefully no user will get angry.
Should restore full functionality.
The initial state setting is a bit shoddy (instead of setting the
properties before map, we use the WM commands to change it after, so you
will see the normal window state for a moment; the WM commands do not
work on unmapped windows, so fixing this would require more code).
- remove VOCTRL_FULLSCREEN and VOCTRL_GET_FULLSCREEN
- have your own m_config_cache for the fullscreen option
(vo->opts_cache cannot be used because you lose per-option change
notifications, and it'd be a mess anyway)
- use VOCTRL_VO_OPTS_CHANGED to update it
(it's used for convenience)
- when updating it, check for the fullscreen option
(wasn't sure how to do it best; currently, it compares the raw
option pointers, but this could be changed)
- do not send VO_EVENT_FULLSCREEN_STATE on FS change
- instead write the option on FS change
(assign in opt. struct + m_config_cache_write_opt)
Use x11->opts instead of vo->opts. This doesn't matter currently, and
x11->opts is actually set to vo->opts. However, there's a chance that
either option access changes, or that the way backends integrate with
struct vo changes. This is just a preemptive change to make this less of
a mess, and it's generally a good idea to reduce accesses to struct vo
anyway.
