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.
It contains now also a boolean which tells whether this is an DVB-S2 channel (not initialized yet - tbd in next commit).
We could also pass through the type of the delivery system (would be more flexible), but the delivery-system-enum is only available with S2API, so this is more backwards-compatible.
If someone has DVB-T2 / DVB-C2 hardware and extends the code to deal with it, this should be changed.
Also allows demuxers to buffer, and we explicitly discard stale QPSK events.
Inspiration taken from the szap-s2 implementation.
S2API is only used if available and for DVB-S cards - it might also be useful to have that for DVB-T2 / DVB-C2 tuning later, but I do not have the HW / no DVB-T2 broadcasting station nearby to test functionality.
This should do no functional changes, only usage of the different API. The S2API is more extensible and a requirement for all the HD-deliveries (e.g. DVB-S2) and since 2.6.28 is the successor of the old API.
Tuning to DVB-S2 channels actually already "works" like this if the delivery is hardcoded in - for a fully working implementation, the channels.conf.sat would need an additional field indicating the delivery type (VDR-type channels.conf have that).
This commit also:
- Cleans up some debug output.
- Moves an unneeded usleep(100000) (only needed for diseqc switching for SAT) into the DVB-S-only part of the implementation.
Define a new macro "DVB_USE_S2API" to be used to switch to S2API if available,
also document what is the main difference in the new S2API.
StreamID-handling is only supported since API 5.2, and some macros
were renamed or only added later with 5.8 (somewhere around kernel 3.6),
so some define-fixups are needed to support these intermediate
kernel header versions.
Apparently this is what users would expect.
Going the way of least resistance (in terms of messing with this old,
rarely used code), sorting them by some kind of addition timestamp
(called priority in the patch) is the easiest.
Fixes#1390.
stream_edl merely makes demux_edl act "special", which checks for the
stream type explicitly and then does something with its URL. If a cache
is added before the stream, it'll try to use the cache's URL (i.e. an
empty string), and will then obviously fail to parse the URL. While this
is slightly stupid, just disabling the entirely useless cache is the
most effective solution.
Fixes#1378.
As suggested in issue #1251. I think the main point is that it acts as
a hack to return to the DVD menu when jumping past the last chapter,
because it will reach title-EOF, instead of explicitly jumping to the
next file (which usually exits the player).
This basically reverts commit 8b7418d, except it doesn't include an
off-by-1 error (apparently).
Closes#1251.
This was requested.
It seems libdvdread can't get the duration for titlesets other than the
currently opened title. The data structures contain dangling pointers
for these, and MPlayer works this around by opening every title
separately for the purpose of dumping the title list.
Apparently, we treat different tracks as titles, so returning the number
of titles (which is user-visible as "disc-titles" property) is
completely misguided.
Apparently, libdvdnav always reports a last chapter that points to the
exact end of the title. This is useless for us.
Again, same possible caveats as with the previous commit.
This way, chapter 0 will always point to the start of the title.
At least this is the intention; it's likely that DVDs as well as
libdvdnav do random things that lead to random results.
This was completely breaking any low-level caching. Change it so that at
least demuxer caching will work.
Do this by using the metadata cache mechanism to funnel through the menu
commands.
For some incomprehensible reason, I had to reorder the events (which
affects their delivery priority), or they would be ignored. Probably
some crap about the event state being cleared before it could be
delivered. I don't give a shit.
All this code sucks. It would probably be better to let discnav.c access
the menu event "queue" directly, and to synchronize access with a mutex,
instead of going through all the caching layers, making things
complicated and slow.
...because everything is terrible.
strerror() is not documented as having to be thread-safe by POSIX and
C11. (Which is pretty much bullshit, because both mandate threads and
some form of thread-local storage - so there's no excuse why
implementation couldn't implement this in a thread-safe way. Especially
with C11 this is ridiculous, because there is no way to use threads and
convert error numbers to strings at the same time!)
Since we heavily use threads now, we should avoid unsafe functions like
strerror().
strerror_r() is in POSIX, but GNU/glibc deliberately fucks it up and
gives the function different semantics than the POSIX one. It's a bit of
work to convince this piece of shit to expose the POSIX standard
function, and not the messed up GNU one.
strerror_l() is also in POSIX, but only since the 2008 standard, and
thus is not widespread.
The solution is using avlibc (libavutil, by its official name), which
handles the unportable details for us, mostly. We avoid some pain.
In addition to the messed-up expression, the endianness was also
inverted. The code reads big endian by default.
It "worked" by coincidence, but for little endian, codepoints outside of
latin1 were broken.
The broken expression was found by Coverity.
Thanks to STREAM_CTRL_HAS_AVSEEK, we actually know whether CTRL_AVSEEK
is implemented at all, and we can avoid a blocking wait on the cache if
demux_lavf sends CTRL_AVSEEK even if it won't wait. I'm hoping this
can't currently happen, but why hope if we can explicitly prevent it.
It'll make us more robust against future changes in libavformat.
Basically, this will mark the demuxer as seekable with rtmp* and mmsh
protocols. These protocols have network-level time seeking, and whether
you can seek on the byte level does not matter.
Until now, seeking was typically only enabled because of the cache, and
a (nonsensical) warning was shown accordingly.
It still could happen that the server doesn't actually support thse
requests (or simply rejects them), so this is somewhat imperfect.
No development activity (or even any sign of life) for almost a year.
A replacement based on youtube-dl will probably be provided before the
next mpv release. Ask on the IRC channel if you want to test.
Simplify the Lua check too: libquvi linking against a different Lua
version than mpv was a frequent issue, but with libquvi gone, no
direct dependency uses Lua, and such a clash is rather unlikely.
The immediate mode (which is the default) uses a tiny ringbuffer and
doesn't grab timestamps. This leads to quite bad behavior due to the
fact that there's an additional buffer between playloop and TV code (the
demuxer thread, which doesn't exist in MPlayer).
Always grab the timestamps and use a decently-sized buffer. I still have
no clue what I'm doing, and hacked it until it appeared to work. Report
regressions if you experience any.
I can't believe how shitty this (MPlayer-derived) code is. Maybe it
should be fixed or be replaced with using libavdevice, but that doesn't
seem worth the effort.
Anyway, for now reduce the time it's blocking to wait for new frames
from 10ms to 1ms, because 10ms might be a bit too tight: it could
deliver the frame up to 10ms late - now it's only up to 1ms. (And yes,
it does that instead of using condition variables. It also abuses
volatile variables as atomics. It's hilarious.)
stream_rar.c peeks the first few bytes when trying to open, which means
that opening any stream reads at least 2KB of data (internal buffer
size) on opening. This broke --stream-dump, which saved only the data
following this initial buffer.
Hack it around by writing the current buffer to the capture file too,
and move stream_capture_write() above stream_set_capture_file() for this
purpose.
Cleaner solutions might include: handling the terrible rar thing
differently, or using the "proper" stream API for dumping. (The latter
is not done, because --stream-dump shares code with the --stream-capture
misfeature.)
Fixes#1215.
On win32, open() is a function-like macro. The line of code changed
with this commit accidentally expanded the macro. Prevent this macro
expansion. Not sure why that happened now. Since as far as I remember
system functions can be defined as macros, this affects in theory not
only win32.
Especially with other components (libavcodec, OSX stuff), the thread
list can get quite populated. Setting the thread name helps when
debugging.
Since this is not portable, we check the OS variants in waf configure.
old-configure just gets a special-case for glibc, since doing a full
check here would probably be a waste of effort.
Because 1) Lua is terrible, and 2) popen() is terrible. Unfortunately,
since Unix is also terrible, this turned out more complicated than I
hoped. As a consequence and to avoid that this code has to be maintained
forever, add a disclaimer that any function in Lua's utils module can
disappear any time. The complexity seems a bit ridiculous, especially
for a feature so far removed from actual video playback, so if it turns
out that we don't really need this function, it will be dropped again.
The motivation for this commit is the same as with 8e4fa5fc.
Note that there is an "#ifndef __GLIBC__". The GNU people are very
special people and thought it'd be convenient to actually declare
"environ", even though the POSIX people, which are also very special
people, state that no header declares this and that the user has to
declare this manually. Since the GNU people overtook the Unix world with
their very clever "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy, but not 100%,
and trying to build without _GNU_SOURCE is hopeless; but since there
might be Unix environments which support _GNU_SOURCE features partially,
this means that in practice "environ" will be randomly declared or not
declared by system headers. Also, gcc was written by very clever people
too, and prints a warning if an external variable is declared twice (I
didn't check, but I suppose redeclaring is legal C, and not even the gcc
people are clever enough to only warn against a definitely not legal C
construct, although sometimes they do this), ...and since we at mpv hate
compiler warnings, we seek to silence them all. Adding a configure test
just for a warning seems too radical, so we special-case this against
__GLIBC__, which is hopefully not defined on other libcs, especially not
libcs which don't implement all aspects of _GNU_SOURCE, and redefine
"environ" on systems even if the headers define it already (because they
support _GNU_SOURCE - as I mentioned before, the clever GNU people wrote
software THAT portable that other libcs just gave up and implemented
parts of _GNU_SOURCE, although probably not all), which means that
compiling mpv will print a warning about "environ" being redefined, but
at least this won't happen on my system, so all is fine. However, should
someone complain about this warning, I will force whoever complained
about this warning to read this ENTIRE commit message, and if possible,
will also force them to eat a printed-out copy of the GNU Manifesto, and
if that is not enough, maybe this person could even be forced to
convince the very clever POSIX people of not doing crap like this:
having the user to manually declare somewhat central symbols - but I
doubt it's possible, because the POSIX people are too far gone and only
care about maintaining compatibility with old versions of AIX and HP-UX.
Oh, also, this code contains some subtle and obvious issues, but writing
about this is not fun.
Normally, we pass libavformat demuxers a wrapped mpv stream. But in some
cases, such as HLS and RTSP, we let libavformat open the stream itself.
In these cases, set typical network properties like useragent according
to the mpv options.
(We still don't set it for the cases where libavformat opens other
streams on its own, e.g. when opening the companion .sub file for .idx
files - not sure if we maybe should always set these options.)
Apparently there's an use for this; see #1178.
I won't redocument obscure FFmpeg features, so add a hint to the
manpage that some protocols are documented in FFmpeg instead.
stream provides a read buffer (so even something like stream_read_char()
is very fast). This means the stream reads ahead by a few KBs, and
implies that the internal position (s->pos, which would match e.g. the
file position in stream_file.c), and the external position
(stream_tell()) can be different. stream_tell() shows how these are
related.
When dropping buffers, which happens on byte-level discontinuities with
a bunch of streams (including DVB), we should not change the position as
seen by the demuxer. On the other hand, the internal position is not
really meaningful, since these streams aren't seekable anyway. So just
change the code such that stream_drop_buffers() doesn't change the
demuxer visible position.
I'm hoping that this will fix a few problems with DVB. (Also see
previous commit.)
Might matter when libavformat tries to do tiny seekbacks in an
unseekable stream, and the seekback buffer isn't large enough. In this
case, seeking would fail, and would drop the current buffer. The
seekback would end up dropping future data.
This change probably doesn't have any observable effects. libavformat
normally has its own stream buffer, and demux_mkv.c tries carefully
never to seek back.
This makes no sense to use with DVD/BD/DVB and some others, and these
streams happen to be unseekable.
Also, other kinds of unseekable streams (like reading from pipe) should
work, but will exhibit sketchy behavior if they need to seek. So just
disable it, and leave these problems to the memory cache (cache.c).
Similar as the previous commits.
Most of the code is actually copied from the stream_dvdnav.c code, but
I'd rather prefer to duplicate it, than to entangle them. The latter
would probably result in terrible things in a few years.
Same hack as with stream_dvd.c.
VIDEO_TS.IFO files are now opened via stream_dvdnav.c. Directories
containing a VIDEO_TS.IFO or VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO file are also
opened with it.
stream_dvd.c includes a pseudo-protocol that recognizes .IFO files, and
plays them using libdvdread. This was relatively lazy, and could perhaps
easily trigger with files that just had the .ifo extension.
Make the checks stricter, and even probe the file header. Apparently the
first bytes in an .ifo file are always "DVDVIDEO-VTS", so check for
this.
Refuse to load the main "video_ts.ifo". The plan is to use stream_dvdnav
for it.
This also removes at least 1 memory leak.
