These options make it possible to specify the directory that will be
passed to ass_set_fonts_dir(), akin to VLC's `--ssa-fontsdir` and
FFmpeg's `fontsdir`.
Fixes#8338
c784820454 introduced a bool option type
as a replacement for the flag type, but didn't actually transition and
remove the flag type because it would have been too much mundane work.
The `osd-overlay` command didn't trigger a redraw when the overlay was
set to hidden.
This is fine when the overlay was already hidden before that, but
transitioning from not hidden to hidden requires a redraw.
e97819f88e corrected a special case
condition that lead to an out of bounds access if the total width
happened to be an integer multiple of SLICE_W (256) which could cause a
crash in software VOs. However, it turns out that the functions in this
file evaluate quite differently when using encoding mode (and presumably
libmpv as well according to reports although I could not independently
verify it).
The logic here gets complicated but what ends up happening is that, in
blend_overlay_with_video, the value of x + w can be greater than p->w in
certain cases in encoding mode. The x is the positional value of the
slice which remained unchanged from before, but w can take the full
value of SLICE_W (256) which is not necessarily correct. The width of
the final slice here should be the total remaining width. We can handle
this in mark_rect by simply always adjusting x1 of the last slice to be
equal to total width - SLICE_W * x so it can never extend beyond where
it should be. In practice, this value should be the maximum allowed
here. I'm not sure if the existing x1 value can possibly already be
lower than SLICE_W, but just MPMIN it to be on the safe side.
Fixes#10908.
This has been a long standing annoyance - ffmpeg is removing
sizeof(AVPacket) from the API which means you cannot stack-allocate
AVPacket anymore. However, that is something we take advantage of
because we use short-lived AVPackets to bridge from native mpv packets
in our main decoding paths.
We don't think that switching these to `av_packet_alloc` is desirable,
given the cost of heap allocation, so this change takes a different
approach - allocating a single packet in the relevant context and
reusing it over and over.
That's fairly straight-forward, with the main caveat being that
re-initialising the packet is unintuitive. There is no function that
does exactly what we need (what `av_init_packet` did). The closest is
`av_packet_unref`, which additionally frees buffers and side-data.
However, we don't copy those things - we just assign them in from our
own packet, so we have to explicitly clear the pointers before calling
`av_packet_unref`. But at least we can make a wrapper function for
that.
The weirdest part of the change is the handling of the vtt subtitle
conversion. This requires two packets, so I had to pre-allocate two in
the context struct. That sounds excessive, but if allocating the
primary packet is too expensive, then allocating the secondary one for
vtt subtitles must also be too expensive.
This change is not conditional as heap allocated AVPackets were
available for years and years before the deprecation.
It turns out, even xy-VSFilter and XySubFilter do not
mangle colours if the video is native RGB regardless of
the sub's YCbCr header. libass' docs were also updated
to reflect this.
Commit 740b701 introduced handling for subtitles with unknown duration,
but it came with a minor flaw where a track event that shares identical
start time with following track event will has its Duration value set
to 0, we don't want this to happen since it will prevent simultaneous
rendering of multiple track events.
This commit aims to address this issue.
When the width is exactly a multiple of SLICE_W (currently 256),
heap buffer overflow is reported by Address Sanitizer. So adjust
the maximum index for the line array accordingly.
ASS must only automatically break at ASCII spaces (\x20), but other
subtitle formats might expect more breaking oppurtinities.
Especially non-ASS subs in scripts, which typically do not use (ASCII)
spaces to seperate words, like e.g. CJK, might overflow the screen
if the conversion didn't insert additional linebreaks (ffmpeg does not).
Thus try to enable Unicode linebreaking for converted subs and the OSD
if libass is new enough. The feature may still be unavailable at runtime
if libass wasn't build with Unicode linebreaking support.
TL;DR: previously a JavaScript VM was created + destroyed whenever
a sub track was initialized, even if no jsre filter was set.
Now a JS VM is created only if jsre filters were set.
Sub filters are initialized once when a subtitle track is chosen, and
then whenever the sub track changes or when some sub options change.
Sub filters init is synchronous - playback is suspended till it ends.
A filter can abort init early (get disabled) depending on conditions
specific to each filter. The regex and jsre filters aborted early
if the filter is disabled (default is enabled) or if the track is not
ass (relativey rare, e.g. bitmap subs).
The init then iterates over the filter strings, and if the result is
empty (common - no filter was added, but also if all strings failed
regex init) then it's also aborted during init.
While this iteration step is cheap with filter regex, with jsre it
requires instanciating the JS VM (mujs) in advance in order to parse
the filter strings at the list, and the VM is then destroyed if the
list ends up empty.
This VM create+destroy is fast but measurable (0.2 - 0.7 ms, slowest
measured on 2010 MacBook Air), but can be avoided altogether if we
check that the filter list is not empty before we create the VM.
So now we do just that.
this field is used only in a special vo draining edge case.
switching to an atomic reduces osd->lock contention
between the mpv core (in write_video) and vo threads
which are managing osd rendering manually (such as vo_rpi).

Previously, the sub-visibility option changed the visibility of all
subtitles including secondary ones. This meant that it was not possible
to only display secondary subtitles while hiding the primary ones. This
modifies the sub-visibility option so that it only affects primary
subtitles which allows only secondary subtitles to be displayed.
This reverts commit 04f0b0abe4.
It's not a good idea to unify the names only for visibility, while
keeping secondary-* for everything else.
This needs a bit more thought before we allow secondary sub to be
visible on its own.
Adds --sub-visibility choices 'primary-only' for only displaying the
primary subtitle track, and 'secondary-only' for only displaying
secondary subtitle track.
Removes --secondary-sub-visibility and displays a message telling the
user to use --sub-visibility=yes/primary-only instead.
These changes make it so that the default 'sub-visibility' bind 'v'
cycles through all the 'sub-visibility' choices, 'no', 'yes',
'primary-only', and 'secondary-only'.
Since libavcodec major version 59, the requested "ass" format became
the default as the old timing-included format was disabled starting
with that version. Additionally, this option by itself has since
been deprecated as it no longer serves any purpose.

This is an artificial background box with the original colors,
rendered as a plain rectangle instead of libass's opaque-box.
Fixes#9134 (together with the previous commit)
This breaks the rendering in various ways, so first workaround is to
simply disable the opaque box for the bar.
Next commit will add an artificial background box.
29e15e6248 prefixed youtube-dl's subs url with an edl prefix to not
download them until they're selected, which is useful when there are
many sub languages. But this prefix broke the alignment of secondary
subs, which would overlap the primary subs instead of always being
placed at the top. This can be tested with
--sub-file='edl://!no_clip;!delay_open,media_type=sub;secondary_sub.srt'
When a sub is added, sub.c:reinit_sub() is called. This calls in
init_subdec() -> dec_sub.c:sub_create() -> init_decoder() ->
sd_ass:init(). Then reinit_sub() calls
sub_control(track->d_sub, SD_CTRL_SET_TOP, &(bool){!!order}) which sets
sd_ass_priv.on_top = true for secondary subs.
But for EDL subs the real sub is initialized again when in
dec_sub.c:sub_read_packets() is_new_segment() returns true and
update_segment() is called, or when sub_get_bitmaps() calls
update_segment(). update_segment() then calls init_decoder(), which
calls sd_ass:init(), so sd_ass_priv is reinitialized, and its on_top
property is left false. This commit sets it to true again.
For URLs that need to be downloaded it seems that the update_segment()
call that reinitializes sd_ass_priv is always the one in
sub_read_packets(), but with local subs sub_get_bitmaps() is usually
called earlier (though there shouldn't be a reason to use the EDL URL
for local subs), so I added the order parameter to sub_create(), rather
than adding it to all of update_segment(), sub_read_packets() and
sub_get_bitmaps().
Also removes the cast to bool in the other sub_control call, since
sub/sd_ass.c:control already casts arg to bool when cmd is
SD_CTRL_SET_TOP.
Using --sub-filter-regex-plain (default:no)
The ass-to-plaintext functionality already existed at sd_ass.c, but
it's internal and uses a private buffer type, so a trivial utility
wrapper was added with standard char*/bstr interface.
The plaintext can be multi-line, and the multi-line regexp flag is now
always set, but only affects plaintext (the ASS source is one line).
Pretty much identical to filter-regex but with JS expressions and
requires only JS support. Shares the filter-regex-* control options.
The target audience is Windows users - where filter-regex doesn't
work due to missing APIs, but mujs builds cleanly on Windows, and JS
is usually enabled in 3rd party Windows mpv builds.
Lua could have been used with similar effort, however, the JS regex
syntax is more extensive and also much more similar to POSIX.
1. On a pathological case where event_format is NULL, previously the
filter was trying to use it with each new sub - and re-failed. Now
the filter gets disabled on init (event_format doesn't change).
2. Previously, if the filter didn't modify the text or if the text
could not be extracted - it still allocated a new packet with same
content. Now it returns the original, saving a whole lot of no-ops
(there are still few allocations in this case though).
1 above is preparation for the next commit, and 2 was trivial, but
there's more to do if anyone cares (NIH string functions instead of
bstr, unused arguments, messages could be improved, and more).
Add two stand-alone function to help with the text-extraction task
which ass filters need. Makes it easier to add new filters without
cargo-culting this functionality.
Currently, on malformed event (which shouldn't happen), a warning is
printed when a filter tries to extract the text, so if few filters
are enabled, we'll get multiple warnings (like before) - not critical.
The regex filter now uses these utils, the SDH filter not yet.
This allows users to control whether full dialogue subtitles are displayed
with an audio track already in their preferred subtitle language.
Additionally, this improves handling for the forced flag, automatically
selecting between forced and unforced subtitle streams based on the user's
settings and the selected audio.
Seems like this is requested all the time.
It seems libass allows out of range values, but does allows the subtitle
to go out of the screen at the bottom (only when moving it to the top
it's "clamped"). Too bad, don't do that then. The bitmap sub rendering
code on the other hand is under our control, and will not move a
subtitle out of the screen.
Fixes: #7986
Options like --sub-ass-force-style and others could not be changed at
runtime (the changes didn't take any effect). Fix this by using the
brutal approach, and completely reinit the subtitle state when this
happens. Maybe a bit clunky, but for now I'd rather not put more effort
into this.
Fixes: #7689
libass recently switched the default from 1 to 0 for compatibility
with ASS scripts that rely on the historical/VSFilter default of 0.
libass does attempt to detect and avoid breaking scripts that rely
on the historic libass-only default of 1, but it doesn't cover tracks
created directly through the API, so set the header explicitly.
Fixes https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/7900.
Remove the vaguely defined plane_bits and component_bits fields from
struct mp_imgfmt_desc. Add weird replacements for existing uses. Remove
the bytes[] field, replace uses with bpp[].
Fix some potential alignment issues in existing code. As a compromise,
split mp_image_pixel_ptr() into 2 functions, because I think it's a bad
idea to implicitly round, but for some callers being slightly less
strict is convenient.
This shouldn't really change anything. In fact, it's a 100% useless
change. I'm just cleaning up what I started almost 8 years ago (see
commit 00653a3eb0). With this I've decided to keep mp_imgfmt_desc,
just removing the weird parts, and keeping the saner parts.
See manpage additions. This was requested, sort of. Although what has
been requested might be something completely different. So this is
speculative.
This also changes sub_get_text() to return an allocated copy, because
the buffer shit was too damn messy.
Whatever it's worth. Instead of doing a pretty stupid conversion to
float, just blend it directly. This works for most RGB formats that are
8 bits per component or below (the latter because we expand packed
fringe RGB formats for simplicity). For higher bit depth RGB this would
need extra code.
This checked params->color.space for being RGB. If the colorspace is
unset, this did dumb things because even if the imgfmt was a RGB one,
the colorspace was not set to RGB. This actually also happened to the
tests.
(Short-cutting RGB like this is actually wrong, since RGB could still
have strange gamma or primaries, which would warrant a full conversion.
So you'd need to check for these other parameters as well. To be fixed
later.)
Maybe this is useful for some of the lesser VOs. It's preferable over
bad ad-hoc solutions based on the more complex sub_bitmap data
structures (as observed e.g. in vo_vaapi.c), and does not use that much
more code since draw_bmp already created such an overlay internally.
But I still wanted something that avoids having to upload/render a full
screen-sized overlay if for example there's only a tiny subtitle line on
the bottom of the screen. So the new API can return a list of modified
pixels (for upload) and non-transparent pixels (for display). The way
these pixel rectangles are computed is a bit dumb and returns dumb
results, but it should be usable, and the implementation can change.
They are sort of confusing, and they hide the fact that they have an
alpha component. Using the actual formats directly is no problem, sicne
these were useful only for big endian systems, something we can't test
anyway.
draw_bmp.c is the software blender for subtitles and OSD. It's used by
encoding mode (burning subtitles), and some VOs, like vo_drm, vo_x11,
vo_xv, and possibly more.
This changes the algorithm from upsampling the video to 4:4:4 and then
blending to downsampling the OSD and then blending directly to video.
This has far-reaching consequences for its internals, and results in an
effective rewrite.
Since I wanted to avoid un-premultiplying, all blending is done with
premultiplied alpha. That's actually the sane thing to do. The old code
just didn't do it, because it's very weird in YUV fixed point.
Essentially, you'd have to compensate for the chroma centering constant
by subtracting src_alpha/255*128. This seemed so hairy (especially with
correct rounding and high bit depths involved) that I went for using
float.
I think it turned out mostly OK, although it's more complex and less
maintainable than before. reinit() is certainly a bit too long. While it
should be possible to optimize the RGB path more (for example by
blending directly instead of doing the stupid float conversion), this is
probably slower. vo_xv users probably lose in this, because it takes the
slowest path (due to subsampling requirements and using YUV).
Why this rewrite? Nobody knows. I simply forgot the reason. But you'll
have it anyway. Whether or not this would have required a full rewrite,
at least it supports target alpha now (you can for example hard sub
transparent PNGs, if you ever wanted to use mpv for this).
Remove the check in vf_sub. The new draw_bmp.c is not as reliant on
libswscale anymore (mostly uses repack.c now), and osd.c shows an
error message on missing support instead now.
Formats with chroma subsampling of 4 are not supported, because FFmpeg
doesn't provide pixfmt definitions for alpha variants. We could provide
those ourselves (relatively trivial), but why bother.
The OSD is passed to VOs via struct sub_bitmaps, which has a change_id
field. This field is incremented whenever there is a (potential) change
to the other struct contents. If not, the VO can rely on it not having
changed. This must include for example sub_bitmap.x and sub_bitmap.dw.
If these two fields (and y equivalents) change, change_id must change,
even if the subtitle bitmap data might still be the same.
sd_lavc.c stopped respecting this at some unknown point. It could
sometimes cause problems, though usually only with bad and old VOs which
somehow relied on this more than vo_gpu. (I've actually encountered this
before with sd_lavc subtitle scaling, as indicated by a nasty comment,
though probably didn't track this down, since said old VOs can die in a
fire.)
Fix this by maintaining the change_id explicitly. Unfortunately adds
even more code. Instead of comparing the result we could track property
changes, but I think this is better. The number of parts is always very
low with this subtitle decoder, so there's no actual performance issue
to worry about.
This could be triggered by scaling changes (video-zoom etc.), but
probably also changing bitmap subtitle position or scaling.
Should be somewhat helpful. (All VOs are full of code trying to
compensate for this, more or less, and this will allow simplifying
some code later. Maybe.)
The screen size is mostly for robustness checks.
Making OSD/subtitle bitmaps refcounted was planend a longer time ago,
e.g. the sub_bitmaps.packed field (which refcounts the subtitle bitmap
data) was added in 2016. But nothing benefited much from it, because
struct sub_bitmaps was usually stack allocated, and there was this weird
callback stuff through osd_draw().
Make it possible to get actually refcounted subtitle bitmaps on the OSD
API level. For this, we just copy all subtitle data other than the
bitmaps with sub_bitmaps_copy(). At first, I had planned some fancy
refcount shit, but when that was a big mess and hard to debug and just
boiled to emulating malloc(), I made it a full allocation+copy. This
affects mostly the parts array. With crazy ASS subtitles, this parts
array can get pretty big (thousands of elements or more), in which case
the extra alloc/copy could become performance relevant. But then again
this is just pure bullshit, and I see no need to care. In practice, this
extra work most likely gets drowned out by libass murdering a single
core (while mpv is waiting for it) anyway. So fuck it.
I just wanted this so draw_bmp.c requires only a single call to render
everything. VOs also can benefit from this, because the weird callback
shit isn't necessary anymore (simpler code), but I haven't done anything
about it yet. In general I'd hope this will work towards simplifying the
OSD layer, which is prerequisite for making actual further improvements.
I haven't tested some cases such as the "overlay-add" command. Maybe it
crashes now? Who knows, who cares.
In addition, it might be worthwhile to reduce the code duplication
between all the things that output subtitle bitmaps (with repacking,
image allocation, etc.), but that's orthogonal.
UB sanitizer complains that aval<<24 (if >=128) cannot be represented as
int. Indeed, we would shift a bit into the sign of an int, which is
probably UB or implementation defined (I can't even remember, but the
stupidity of it burns). So technically, ubsan might be right.
Change aval to uint32_t, which I don't think has a chance of getting
promoted to int. Change the other *val to uint32_t too for cosmetic
symmetry.
So we have to obscure the intention of the code (*val can take only 8
bits) out of language stupidity. How nice. (What a shitty language.)
A mkv sample file was provided to me, which contained a moving PGS
subtitle track, with the same track rendered into the video as
reference. The subtitle track appeared to stutter (while the video one
was smooth). It turns out this was a timestamp rounding issue in mpv.
The subtitle timestamps in the file match the video ones exactly.
They're the same within the mpv demuxer too. Unfortunately, the
conversion from and to libavcodec timestamps is lossy, because mpv uses
a non-integer timebase, while libavcodec supports integers only. See
mp_pts_to_av() and mp_pts_from_av(). The recovered timestamp is almost
the same, but is off by a very minor part. As a result, the timestamps
won't compare equal, and if that happens, display of the subtitle frame
is skipped. Subtitle timestamps don't go through this conversion
because... libavcodec is special? The libavcodec subtitle API is
special.
Fix this by giving it a microsecond of slack. This is basically as if we
used an internal microseconds integer timebase, but only for the purpose
of image subtitle display.
The same could happen to sd_ass, except in practice it doesn't. ASS
subtitles (well, .ass files) inherently use a timebase incompatible to
video, so to ensure frame exactness, ASS timestamps are usually set to
slightly before the video frame's.
Discussion of better solutions:
One could rewrite mpv not to use float timestamps. You'd probably pick
some integer timebase instead (like microseconds), which would avoid the
libavcodec interop issue. At the very least this would be a lot of work.
It would be interesting to know whether the rounding in ther mpv<->lavc
timestamp conversion could be fixed to round-trip in this case. The
conversion tries to avoid problems by using the source timebase (e.g.
milliseconds with mkv). But in general some rounding is unavoidable,
because something between decoder and lowest demuxer layer could
transform the timestamps.
One could extend libavcodec to attach arbitrary information to avpacket
and return it in the resulting avframe. To some degree, such a mechanism
already exists (side data). But there are certain problems that make
this unfeasible and broken.
One could pass through exact mpv float timestamps by reinterpret-casting
them to int64_t, the FFmpeg timestamp type. Actually mpv used to do
this. But there were problems, such as FFmpeg (or things used by FFmpeg)
wanting to interpret the timestamps. Awful shit that make mpv change to
the current approach.
There's probably more but I'm getting bored. With some luck I wasted
precious seconds of your life with my nonsense.
Add an infrastructure for collecting performance-related data, use it in
some places. Add rendering of them to stats.lua.
There were two main goals: minimal impact on the normal code and normal
playback. So all these stats_* function calls either happen only during
initialization, or return immediately if no stats collection is going
on. That's why it does this lazily adding of stats entries etc. (a first
iteration made each stats entry an API thing, instead of just a single
stats_ctx, but I thought that was getting too intrusive in the "normal"
code, even if everything gets worse inside of stats.c).
You could get most of this information from various profilers (including
the extremely primitive --dump-stats thing in mpv), but this makes it
easier to see the most important information at once (at least in
theory), partially because we know best about the context of various
things.
Not very happy with this. It's all pretty primitive and dumb. At this
point I just wanted to get over with it, without necessarily having to
revisit it later, but with having my stupid statistics.
Somehow the code feels terrible. There are a lot of meh decisions in
there that could be better or worse (but mostly could be better), and it
just sucks but it's also trivial and uninteresting and does the job. I
guess I hate programming. It's so tedious and the result is always shit.
Anyway, enjoy.
Using mpv without libass isn't really supported, since it's not only
used to display ASS subtitles, but all text subtitles, and even OSD.
At least 1 user complained that the player printed a warning if built
without libass. Avoid trying to create the impression that using this
software without libass is in any way supported or desirable, and make
it fully mandatory.
(As far as making dependencies optional goes, I'd rather make ffmpeg
optional, which is an oversized and bloated library, rather than
something tiny like libass.)
Change all OPT_* macros such that they don't define the entire m_option
initializer, and instead expand only to a part of it, which sets certain
fields. This requires changing almost every option declaration, because
they all use these macros. A declaration now always starts with
{"name", ...
followed by designated initializers only (possibly wrapped in macros).
The OPT_* macros now initialize the .offset and .type fields only,
sometimes also .priv and others.
I think this change makes the option macros less tricky. The old code
had to stuff everything into macro arguments (and attempted to allow
setting arbitrary fields by letting the user pass designated
initializers in the vararg parts). Some of this was made messy due to
C99 and C11 not allowing 0-sized varargs with ',' removal. It's also
possible that this change is pointless, other than cosmetic preferences.
Not too happy about some things. For example, the OPT_CHOICE()
indentation I applied looks a bit ugly.
Much of this change was done with regex search&replace, but some places
required manual editing. In particular, code in "obscure" areas (which I
didn't include in compilation) might be broken now.
In wayland_common.c the author of some option declarations confused the
flags parameter with the default value (though the default value was
also properly set below). I fixed this with this change.
This is more or less a minimal hack to make _some_ text measurement
functionality available to scripts. Since libass does not support such a
thing, this simply uses the bounding box of the rendered text.
This is far from ideal. Problems include:
- using a bitmap bounding box
- additional memory waste and/or flushing caches
- dependency on window size
- odd small deviations with different window sizes (run osd-test.lua and
resize the window after each timer update; the bounding boxes aren't
adjusted in an overly useful way)
- inability to query the size _after_ actual rendering
But I guess it's a start. Since I'm aware that it's crap, add a threat
to the manpage that this may be changed/removed again. For now, I'm
interested whether anyone will have use for it in its current form, as
it's an often requested feature.
Setting demux_set_stream_wakeup_cb() will make all sh_stream (i.e.
track) specific wakeups go to this callback. But the callback takes care
of only the sub_preload() case (where it tries to pre-load subtitles
from already parsed and memory-present subtitles in a blocking way).
The old code assumed that the normal demuxer wakeup callback is called.
This was disregarded when the newer code was added. (And actually, the
original plan was to make _all_ per-sh_stream wakeups go to specialized
callbacks to avoid wasted work. dec_sub really should set the callback
always, and propagate wakeups to the playloop code. But it's too far
into the night to write coherent code.)
I couldn't actually observe any manifestation of this bug. Normally, the
playloop wakes up for other reasons (such as driving audio and video
decoding), so the lost wakeups rarely matter.
A negative subtitle delay means that subtitles from the future should be
shown earlier. With muxed subtitles, subtitle packets are demuxed along
with audio and video packets. But since they are demuxed "lazily",
nothing guarantees that subtitle packets from the future are available
in time.
Typically, the user-observed effect is that subtitles do not appear at
all (or too late) with large negative --sub-delay values, but that using
--cache might fix this.
Make this behave better. Automatically extend read-ahead to as much as
needed by the subtitles. It seems it's the easiest to pass the subtitle
render timestamp to the demuxer in order to guarantee that everything is
read. This timestamp based approach might be fragile, so disable it if
no negative sub-delay is used.
As far as the player frontend part is concerned, this makes use of the
code path for external subtitles, which are not lazily demuxed, and may
already trigger waiting.
Fixes: #7484
Libav seems rather dead: no release for 2 years, no new git commits in
master for almost a year (with one exception ~6 months ago). From what I
can tell, some developers resigned themselves to the horrifying idea to
post patches to ffmpeg-devel instead, while the rest of the developers
went on to greener pastures.
Libav was a better project than FFmpeg. Unfortunately, FFmpeg won,
because it managed to keep the name and website. Libav was pushed more
and more into obscurity: while there was initially a big push for Libav,
FFmpeg just remained "in place" and visible for most people. FFmpeg was
slowly draining all manpower and energy from Libav. A big part of this
was that FFmpeg stole code from Libav (regular merges of the entire
Libav git tree), making it some sort of Frankenstein mirror of Libav,
think decaying zombie with additional legs ("features") nailed to it.
"Stealing" surely is the wrong word; I'm just aping the language that
some of the FFmpeg members used to use. All that is in the past now, I'm
probably the only person left who is annoyed by this, and with this
commit I'm putting this decade long problem finally to an end. I just
thought I'd express my annoyance about this fucking shitshow one last
time.
The most intrusive change in this commit is the resample filter, which
originally used libavresample. Since the FFmpeg developer refused to
enable libavresample by default for drama reasons, and the API was
slightly different, so the filter used some big preprocessor mess to
make it compatible to libswresample. All that falls away now. The
simplification to the build system is also significant.
Works as ad-filter. I had some more plans, for example replacing
matching text with different text, but for now it's dropping matches
only. There's a big warning in the manpage that I might change
semantics. For example, I might turn it into a primitive sed.
In a sane world, you'd probably write a simple script that processes
downloaded subtitles before giving them to mpv, and avoid all this
complexity. But we don't live in a sane world, and the sooner you learn
this, the happier you will be. (But I also want to run this on muxed
subtitles.)
This is pretty straightforward. We use POSIX regexes, which are readily
available without additional pain or dependencies. This also means it's
(apparently) not available on win32 (MinGW). The regex list is because I
hate big monolithic regexes, and this makes it slightly better.
Very superficially tested.
Until now, filter_sdh was simply a function that was called by sd_ass
directly (if enabled).
I want to add another filter, so it's time to turn this into a somewhat
more general subtitle filtering infrastructure.
I pondered whether to reuse the audio/video filtering stuff - but better
not. Also, since subtitles are horrible and tend to refuse proper
abstraction, it's still messed into sd_ass, instead of working on the
dec_sub.c level. Actually mpv used to have subtitle "filters" and even
made subtitle converters part of it, but it was fairly horrible, so
don't do that again.
In addition, make runtime changes possible. Since this was supposed to
be a quick hack, I just decided to put all subtitle filter options into
a separate option group (=> simpler change notification), to manually
push the change through the playloop (like it was sort of before for OSD
options), and to recreate the sub filter chain completely in every
change. Should be good enough.
One strangeness is that due to prefetching and such, most subtitle
packets (or those some time ahead) are actually done filtering when we
change, so the user still needs to manually seek to actually refresh
everything. And since subtitle data is usually cached in ASS_Track (for
other terrible but user-friendly reasons), we also must clear the
subtitle data, but of course only on seek, since otherwise all subtitles
would just disappear. What a fucking mess, but such is life. We could
trigger a "refresh seek" to make this more automatic, but I don't feel
like it currently.
This is slightly inefficient (lots of allocations and copying), but I
decided that it doesn't matter. Could matter slightly for crazy ASS
subtitles that render with thousands of events.
Not very well tested. Still seems to work, but I didn't have many test
cases.
This is for easier use with the "delay_open" feature added in the
previous commit. The "null" codec is reported if the codec is unknown
(because the stream was not opened yet at time the tracks were added).
The rest of the timeline mechanism will set the correct codec at
runtime. But this means every time a delay-loaded track is selected, it
wants to initialize a decoder for the "null" codec.
Accept a "null" decoder. But since FFmpeg has no such codec, and out of
my own laziness, just let it fall back to "common" codecs that need no
other initialization data.
The change, in an earlier commit, in format for ass to handle results
in a different number of fields to skip. Correct that so SDH filtering
works.
Should fix issue #7188
check_obj_resize() in sub/osd.c calls mp_client_broadcast_event(), which
calls notify_property_events(). This is pretty unexpected, because
check_obj_resize() may be called from the VO thread. While that's sort
of awful, it seems to be OK locking-wise. But it breaks an assumption in
notify_property_events() that the core doesn't need to be woken up,
which could possibly lead to a missed/delayed property update (although
rather unlikely).
Fix this by explicitly waking up the core when it's called from the OSD
code.
Lua scripting has an undocumented mp.set_osd_ass() function, which is
used by osc.lua and console.lua. Apparently, 3rd party scripts also use
this. It's probably time to make this a public API.
The Lua implementation just bypassed the libmpv API. To make it usable
by any type of client, turn it into a command, "osd-overlay".
There's already a "overlay-add". Ignore it (although the manpage admits
guiltiness). I don't really want to deal with that old command. Its main
problem is that it uses global IDs, while I'd like to avoid that scripts
mess with each others overlays (whether that is accidentally or
intentionally). Maybe "overlay-add" can eventually be merged into
"osd-overlay", but I'm too lazy to do that now.
Scripting now uses the commands. There is a helper to manage OSD
overlays. The helper is very "thin"; I only want to force script authors
to use the ID allocation, which may help with putting multiple scripts
into a single .lua file without causing conflicts (basically, avoiding
singletons within a script's environment). The old set_osd_ass() is
emulated with the new API.
The JS scripting wrapper also provides a set_osd_ass() function, which
calls internal mpv API. Comment that part (to keep it compiling), but
I'm leaving it to @avih to finish the change.
I was recently informed that unicode has official symbols for
window controls, and I put together a change to use them, which
worked, as long as a suitable font was installed. However, it's
not that hard to get a normal system that lacks an appropriate
font, and libass wants to print warnings if the symbols aren't
in the default font, which will almost always be true.
So, I gave up and added the symbols to the custom osd font that
we already have. This ensures they are always available, and
that they are aligned consistently on all platforms.
I took the symbols from the `symbola` font, as this has a suitable
licence and the symbols look nice enough.
Symbola Licence:
Fonts are free for any use; they may be opened, edited,
modified, regenerated, packaged and redistributed.
Finally, as we now have access to an un-maximize symbol, I added
logic to use it when the window is maximized.
Do what we do best in multimedia: add conflicting hacks on top of other
hacks, that fix a single sample, and may break other ones.
In this case, it only happens if the file is most likely already broken
(subtitle bounding boxes go outside of the subtitle "canvas"), so it's
OK. The file still looks broken (and, in fact, the file is completely
fucking broken), but you can see the subtitles.
But in summary, this is not actually something I should have bothered
about.
I noticed that MPlayer shows the subtitles "correctly", but this is only
because they have a hack that extends subtitles with small resolution to
a larger hardcoded resolution. This hack was removed from mpv, because
it broke some completely legitimate files. As another really funny fact,
MPlayer's default video output (vdpau) appears to display this file
correctly, but only because it handles narrow aspect ratios (that extend
the height instead of the width) incorrectly. It extends the height, but
leaves the video with 1:1 aspect ratio at the top. It seems to repeat
the last video line. (-vo xv and -vo gl show it correctly, i.e.
stretched like mpv, by the way.) For some reason, the sample file at
hand is extended with black, so the subtitles are rendered into a black
area below the video, which is almost reasonable. So, MPlayer may
display this file "correctly", but in fact it only happens to do so
because of 1 hack that breaks legitimate files, and 1 bug. What the
fuck.
Fixes: #7218 (sort of)
Sometimes the atlas can get so large that it exceeds the maximum allowed
size for an mp_image. Since the atlas will never shrink naturally, this
breaks subtitles entirely until mpv is restarted. Reset the packer so
that subtitles can rendered properly once the atlas fits again.
This is a partial workaround for #6286.
libass had an API to configure this since 2013. mpv always used
ASS_FONTPROVIDER_AUTODETECT, because usually there's little reason to
use anything else. The intention of the now added option is to allow
users to disable use of system fonts.
I didn't consider it worth the trouble to add the coretext and
directwrite enum items from ASS_DefaultFontProvider. The "auto" choice
will have the same effect if they're available. Also, the part of the
code which defines the option does not necessarily have libass available
(it's still optional!), so defining all enum items as choices is icky. I
still added fontconfig, since that may be nice to emulate a nostalgic
2010 feeling of mpv freezing on fontconfig.
The option for OSD is even less useful. (But you get it for free, and
why pass up a chance to add yet another useless option?)
This is not quite what was requested in #6947, but as close as it gets.
First we shift the values up to the actual amount of bits in draw_ass,
so that they will be drawn correctly when using formats with more than
8 bpc. (draw_rgba is already correct w.r.t. RGB formats with 9 or more
bpc)
Then, in scale_sb_rgba, by setting the amount of bits per channel used
for planar RGB formats (formats are always planar at this point in
draw_bmp) to be the same as the source from 9 to 16 bpc (in effect all
the various GBRP formats) we manage to fit the special case that does
not require any conversion in chroma_up and chroma_down when handling
these formats (as long as the source itself is a planar format),
instead writing directly to the combined dst/src buffer. This in turn
works around a bug (incorrect colors) in libswscale when scaling
between GBRP formats with 9 or more bpc. Additionally this should be
more efficient, since we skip up- and down-conversion and temporary
buffers.
During initial testing with US closed captions, ARIB captions,
timed text in MP4 or the specific external SRT files I tested with
there were no hints that this flag would be needed for seeking to
work.
Unfortunately, that result seems to have been incorrect.
Fixes#6970
Simple enough to do. May have mixed results. Typically, bitmap subtitles
will have a tight bounding box around the rendered text. But if for
example there is text on the top and bottom, it may be a single big
bitmap with a large transparent area between top and bottom. In
particular, DVD subtitles are really just a single screen-sized
RLE-encoded bitmap, though libavcodec will crop off transparent areas.
Like with sd_ass, you can't move subtitles _down_ if they are already in
their origin position. This could probably be improved, but I don't want
to deal with that right now.
See manpage additions. This is a huge hack. You can bet there are shit
tons of bugs. It's literally forcing square pegs into round holes.
Hopefully, the manpage wall of text makes it clear enough that the whole
shit can easily crash and burn. (Although it shouldn't literally crash.
That would be a bug. It possibly _could_ start a fire by entering some
sort of endless loop, not a literal one, just something where it tries
to do work without making progress.)
(Some obvious bugs I simply ignored for this initial version, but
there's a number of potential bugs I can't even imagine. Normal playback
should remain completely unaffected, though.)
How this works is also described in the manpage. Basically, we demux in
reverse, then we decode in reverse, then we render in reverse.
The decoding part is the simplest: just reorder the decoder output. This
weirdly integrates with the timeline/ordered chapter code, which also
has special requirements on feeding the packets to the decoder in a
non-straightforward way (it doesn't conflict, although a bugmessmass
breaks correct slicing of segments, so EDL/ordered chapter playback is
broken in backward direction).
Backward demuxing is pretty involved. In theory, it could be much
easier: simply iterating the usual demuxer output backward. But this
just doesn't fit into our code, so there's a cthulhu nightmare of shit.
To be specific, each stream (audio, video) is reversed separately. At
least this means we can do backward playback within cached content (for
example, you could play backwards in a live stream; on that note, it
disables prefetching, which would lead to losing new live video, but
this could be avoided).
The fuckmess also meant that I didn't bother trying to support
subtitles. Subtitles are a problem because they're "sparse" streams.
They need to be "passively" demuxed: you don't try to read a subtitle
packet, you demux audio and video, and then look whether there was a
subtitle packet. This means to get subtitles for a time range, you need
to know that you demuxed video and audio over this range, which becomes
pretty messy when you demux audio and video backwards separately.
Backward display is the most weird (and potentially buggy) part. To
avoid that we need to touch a LOT of timing code, we negate all
timestamps. The basic idea is that due to the navigation, all
comparisons and subtractions of timestamps keep working, and you don't
need to touch every single of them to "reverse" them.
E.g.:
bool before = pts_a < pts_b;
would need to be:
bool before = forward
? pts_a < pts_b
: pts_a > pts_b;
or:
bool before = pts_a * dir < pts_b * dir;
or if you, as it's implemented now, just do this after decoding:
pts_a *= dir;
pts_b *= dir;
and then in the normal timing/renderer code:
bool before = pts_a < pts_b;
Consequently, we don't need many changes in the latter code. But some
assumptions inhererently true for forward playback may have been broken
anyway. What is mainly needed is fixing places where values are passed
between positive and negative "domains". For example, seeking and
timestamp user display always uses positive timestamps. The main mess is
that it's not obvious which domain a given variable should or does use.
Well, in my tests with a single file, it suddenly started to work when I
did this. I'm honestly surprised that it did, and that I didn't have to
change a single line in the timing code past decoder (just something
minor to make external/cached text subtitles display). I committed it
immediately while avoiding thinking about it. But there really likely
are subtle problems of all sorts.
As far as I'm aware, gstreamer also supports backward playback. When I
looked at this years ago, I couldn't find a way to actually try this,
and I didn't revisit it now. Back then I also read talk slides from the
person who implemented it, and I'm not sure if and which ideas I might
have taken from it. It's possible that the timestamp reversal is
inspired by it, but I didn't check. (I think it claimed that it could
avoid large changes by changing a sign?)
VapourSynth has some sort of reverse function, which provides a backward
view on a video. The function itself is trivial to implement, as
VapourSynth aims to provide random access to video by frame numbers (so
you just request decreasing frame numbers). From what I remember, it
wasn't exactly fluid, but it worked. It's implemented by creating an
index, and seeking to the target on demand, and a bunch of caching. mpv
could use it, but it would either require using VapourSynth as demuxer
and decoder for everything, or replacing the current file every time
something is supposed to be played backwards.
FFmpeg's libavfilter has reversal filters for audio and video. These
require buffering the entire media data of the file, and don't really
fit into mpv's architecture. It could be used by playing a libavfilter
graph that also demuxes, but that's like VapourSynth but worse.
There are 3 packet reading functions in the demux API, which all
function completely differently. One of them, demux_read_packet(), has
only 1 caller, which is in dec_sub.c. Change this caller to use
demux_read_packet_async() instead. Since it really wants to do a
blocking call, setup some proper waiting. This uses mp_dispatch_queue,
because even though it's overkill, it needs the least code.
In practice, waiting actually never happens. This code is only called on
code paths where everything is already read into memory (libavformat's
subtitle demuxers simply behave this way). It's still a bit of a
"coincidence", so implement it properly anyway.
If suubtitle decoder init fails, we still need to unset the demuxer
wakeup callback. Add a sub_destroy() call to the failure path. This also
happens to fix a missed pthread_mutex_destroy() call (in practice this
was a nop, or a memory leak on BSDs).
UB-sanitizer complains that we shift bits into the sign (when a is
used). Change it to unsigned, which in theory is more correct and
silences the warning.
Doesn't matter in practice, both the "bug" and the fix have 0 impact.
It would always autodetect it based on the passed style block,
but as we are defining it - we might as well define it always.
(As far as I can see all decoders in libavcodec utilize 4+ style
blocks)
Manual changes done:
* Merged the interface-changes under the already master'd changes.
* Moved the hwdec-related option changes to video/decode/vd_lavc.c.
Only printable ASCII characters were considered to be valid texts. Make
it possible that UTF-8 contents are also considered valid.
This does not make the SDH subtitle filter support non-English
languages. This just prevents the filter from blindly marking lines that
have only UTF-8 characters as empty.
Fixes#6502
libavcodec normally drops subtitle lines that fail a check for invalid
UTF-8 (their check is slightly broken too, by the way). This was always
annoying and inconvenient, but now there is a mechanism to prevent
it from doing this. Requires newst libavcodec.
Remove them from the big MPOpts struct and move them to their sub
structs. In the places where their fields are used, create a private
copy of the structs, instead of accessing the semi-deprecated global
option struct instance (mpv_global.opts) directly.
This actually makes accessing these options finally thread-safe. They
weren't even if they should have for years. (Including some potential
for undefined behavior when e.g. the OSD font was changed at runtime.)
This is mostly transparent. All options get moved around, but most users
of the options just need to access a different struct (changing sd.opts
to a different type changes a lot of uses, for example).
One thing which has to be considered and could cause potential
regressions is that the new option copies must be explicitly updated.
sub_update_opts() takes care of this for example.
Another thing is that writing to the option structs manually won't work,
because the changes won't be propagated to other copies. Apparently the
only affected case is the implementation of the sub-step command, which
tries to change sub_delay. Handle this one explicitly (osd_changed()
doesn't need to be called anymore, because changing the option triggers
UPDATE_OSD, and updates the OSD as a consequence). The way the option
value is propagated is rather hacky, but for now this will do.
It was split at least across osd.c and sd_ass.c/sd_lavc.c. sd_lavc.c
actually ignored most of the more obscure subtitle timing things.
There's no reason for this - just move it all to dec_sub.c (mostly from
sd_ass.c, because it has some of the most complex stuff).
Now timestamps are transformed as they enter or leave dec_sub.c.
There appear to have been some subtle mismatches about how subtitle
timestamps were transformed, e.g. sd_functions.accepts_packet didn't
apply the subtitle speed to the timestamp. This patch should fix them,
although it's not clear if they caused actual misbehavior.
The semantics of SD_CTRL_SUB_STEP are slightly changed, which is the
reason for the changes in command.c and sd_lavc.c.
I've decided that MP_TRACE means “noisy spam per frame”, whereas
MP_DBG just means “more verbose debugging messages than MSGL_V”.
Basically, MSGL_DBG shouldn't create spam per frame like it currently
does, and MSGL_V should make sense to the end-user and provide mostly
additional informational output.
MP_DBG is basically what I want to make the new default for --log-file,
so the cut-off point for MP_DBG is if we probably want to know if for
debugging purposes but the user most likely doesn't care about on the
terminal.
Also, the debug callbacks for libass and ffmpeg got bumped in their
verbosity levels slightly, because being external components they're a
bit less relevant to mpv debugging, and a bit too over-eager in what
they consider to be relevant information.
I exclusively used the "try it on my machine and remove messages from
MSGL_* until it does what I want it to" approach of refactoring, so
YMMV.
The OpenType Font File specification recommends that "Collection fonts
that use CFF or CFF2 outlines should have an .OTC extension." mpv
should accept .otc as a fallback extension for font detection should
the mimetype detection fail.
IETF RFC8081 added the "font" top-level media type,
including font/ttf, font/otf, font/sfnt, and also
font/collection. These font formats are all supported
by mpv/libass but they are not accepted as valid
Matroska mime types. mpv can load them via file extension
and they work as expected, so files using the new types
should not trigger a warning from mpv.
The current invocation of bstr_cut is as good as no cutting at all.
Almost the entire header is reread in every iteration of the loop.
I don't know how many styles libavcodec tends to generate, but if
(now or in the future) it generates many, then this loop is slow
for no good reason. If anything, the code would be more clear and
have the same performance if it didn't call bstr_cut at all.
The intention here (and the sensible thing regardless) seems to be
to skip the part of the string that bstr_find has already looked
through and found nothing. This commit additionally skips the whole
substring, because overlapping matches are impossible.
In some cases, demux_mkv will detect a start time slightly above 0, but
there might still be a subtitle starting at exactly 0. When the player
rebases the timestamps to assumed start time, the subtitle will have a
slightly negative timestamp in the end. libavcodec's subtitle converter
turns this into a larger number due to underflow. Fix by clamping
subtitles always to 0, which may or may not be what you want.
At least it fixes#5047.
The new_segment field was used to track the decoder data flow handler of
timeline boundaries, which are used for ordered chapters etc. (anything
that sets demuxer_desc.load_timeline). This broke seeking with the
demuxer cache enabled. The demuxer is expected to set the new_segment
field after every seek or segment boundary switch, so the cached packets
basically contained incorrect values for this, and the decoders were not
initialized correctly.
Fix this by getting rid of the flag completely. Let the decoders instead
compare the segment information by content, which is hopefully enough.
(In theory, two segments with same information could perhaps appear in
broken-ish corner cases, or in an attempt to simulate looping, and such.
I preferred the simple solution over others, such as generating unique
and stable segment IDs.)
We still add a "segmented" field to make it explicit whether segments
are used, instead of doing something silly like testing arbitrary other
segment fields for validity.
Cached seeking with timeline stuff is still slightly broken even with
this commit: the seek logic is not aware of the overlap that segments
can have, and the timestamp clamping that needs to be performed in
theory to account for the fact that a packet might contain a frame that
is always clipped off by segment handling. This can be fixed later.
If a VO-area option changes, gl_video_resize() is called
unconditionally. This function does something even if the size does not
change (at least it discards buffered frames for interpolation), which
can lead to stutter when you keep firing option change events during
playback.
Check for an actual resize, and if nothing changes, exit early.
Lua scripts can call osd_set_external() early (before the VO window is
created and obj->vo_res is filled), in which case the PlayResX field
would be set to nonsense, and libass would print a pointless warning.
There's an easy and a hard fix: either just go on and pass dummy values
to libass (basically like before, just clamp them to avoid the values
which make libass print the warning). Or attempt to update the PlayRes
field to correct values on rendering (since at rendering time, you
always know the screen size and the correct values). Do the latter.
Since various things use PlayRes for scaling things, this might still
not be fully ideal. This is a general problem with the async scripting
interface.
This API isn't deprecated (yet?), but it's still inferior and harder to
use than avcodec_free_context().
Leave the call only in 1 case in af_lavcac3enc.c, where we apparently
seriously close and reopen the encoder for whatever reason.
List of changes:
1. Rename `signfs` to `scale`, to better match what it actually does
(force --sub-scale to apply to ASS subtitles), and fix the blatantly
wrong documentation (it actually specifically does *not* apply to
signs)
2. Rename `--sub-ass-style-override` to `--sub-ass-override` to help
reduce confusion between it and `--sub-ass-force-style`, as well as
pointing out that it doesn't necessarily actually override styles.
(The new `scale` option, for example, only sets
ASS_OVERRIDE_BIT_FONT_SIZE, but not ASS_OVERRIDE_BIT_STYLE)
3. Mention that `--sub-ass-override` is generally sort of smart about
only overriding dialog, not signs.
All contributors of the code used for these files agreed to the LGPL
relicensing.
There are some unaccounted contributors, but all of their code was
completely removed before. (The only exception is one contributor whose
only line left was "#include <string.h>". I don't know if that's
copyrightable, but it wasn't needed anyway, so just remove it.)
These files started out as libvo/sub.* (renamed to sub/sub.*, then
renamed again to sub/osd.*). They used to contain code for rendering
the OSD (as in, actual pixel manipulation and text layouting). But
later all this code was dropped, and libass was used to render the OSD
instead. Actual subtitle rendering was reimplemented in other files
(the old subtitle rendering path is completely gone).
One potential problem are the option declarations, which makes this
harder, as these options involve more history. But it turns out most of
them were reimplemented since 80270218cb, rather than taken from old
code. (Although not all - but the rest covered by relicensing
agreements.)
This also affects osd_state.h, which was apparently incorrectly implied
to be LGPL.
All contributors have agreed.
Compared to sd_ass.c, this has a pretty simple history:
av_sub.c -> sub/av_sub.c -> sub/sd_lavc.c
At one point, some code from spudec.c was added to it, but it was
removed again later.
All contributors of the code used for sd_ass.c agreed to the LGPL
relicensing. Some code has a very chaotic history, due to MPlayer
subtitle handling being awful, chaotic, and having been refactored a
dozen of times. Most of the subtitle code was actually rewritten from
scratch (a few times), and the initial sd_ass.c was pretty tiny. So we
should be fine, but it's still a good idea to look at this closely.
Potentially problematic cases of old code leaking into sd_ass.c are
mentioned below.
Some code originates from demux_mkv. Most of this was added by eugeni,
and later moved into mplayer.c or mpcommon.c. The old demux_mkv ASS/SSA
subtitle code is somewhat dangerous from a legal perspective, because it
involves 2 patches by a certain Tristan/z80, who disagreed with LGPL,
and who told us to "rewrite" parts we need. These patches were for
converting the ASS packet data to the old MPlayer text subtitle data
structures. None of that survived in the current code base.
Moving the subtitle handling out of demux_mkv happened in the following
commits: bdb6a07d2a, de73d4dd97, 61e4a80191. The code by
z80 was removed in b44202b69f.
At this time, the z80 code was located in mplayer.c and subreader.c.
The code was fully removed, being unnecessary due to the entire old
subtitle rendering code being removed. This adds a ass_to_plaintext(),
function, which replaces the old ASS tag stripping code in
sub_add_text(), which was based on the z80 code. The new function was
intended to strip ASS tags in a correct way, instead of somehow
dealing with other subtitle types (like HTML-style SRT tags), so it
was written from scratch.
Another potential issue is the --sub-fix-timing option is based on
-overlapsub added in d459e64463. But the implementation is new, and
no code from that commit is used in sd_ass.c. The new implementation
started out in 64b1374a44. (The following commit, bd45eb468c
removes the original code that was replaced.) The code was later
moved into sd_ass.c.
The --sub-fps option has a similar history.
Somewhat chaostic history: libass/ass_mp.* -> ass_mp.* -> sub/ass_mp.*
As far as I can tell, everyone who ever touched these files has agreed
to the relicensing.
When the format of the subtitle bitmaps changes, such as with taking
screenshots with vo_vaapi (RGBA for the VO vs. Y8 for screenshots), the
cache image obviously needs to be recreated.
Fixes#4325.
When doing harder filtering not require a space after : results
in lines with a clock (like 10:05) to be taken as a speaker label.
So require a space after : even when doing harder filtering as
missing space is very uncommon.
Some like to add text in parentheses in the speaker label,
like XXX (loud): or just (loud):
allow parentheses when doing harder filtering
Add subtitle filter to remove additions for deaf or hard-of-hearing
(SDH). This is for English, but may in part work for others too.
This is an ASS filter and the intention is that it can always be
enabled as it by default do not remove parts that may be normal text.
Harder filtering can be enabled with an additional option.

This means the subtitles will show as "intended".
For some weird reason, --sub-ass-style-override is the option that
controls style override, which implies it's specific to ASS. While that
seems weird and doesn't always reflect reality, I don't care about that
now.
To make it easier for the eyes, multi line subtitles should
be left justified (for most languages).
This adds an option to define how subtitles are to be justified
inpendently of how they are aligned.
Also add option to enable --sub-justify to be applied on ASS subtitles.
A hacky, convoluted, half-working mess that attempts to cut off overlong
playlists.
It does so by relying on the ASS formatting rule that the font size is
specified in the virtual PlayResY resolution. This means we can
(normally) easily tell how many lines fit on the screen. On the other
hand, this does not work if the text is wrapped.
This as a kludge until a Better™ solution is available.
This core of this heuristic was once copied from MPlayer's spudec.c. I
think it was meant for the case when the resolution field was missing or
so.
I couldn't find a file for which this actually does something. On the
other hand, there are samples which actually have a smaller resolution
than 720x576, and which are broken by this old hack.
For subtitles that set no resolution (I'm not sure which codec/container
that would be), there's still the fallback on video resolution.
Just get rid of this hack. Also cleanup a bit. SD_CTRL_GET_RESOLUTION
hasn't been used since DVD menu removal. get_resolution() is left with 1
call site, and would be quite awkward to keep, so un-inline it.
The previous commit means subtitles were reinitialized on every seek
(even within a segment). This commit restores the old behavior.
To check whether the segment changed at all, we don't reset the current
start/end values. This assumes the decoder wrapper is always fed by a
stream which doesn't mix segment and non-segment packets, which is
currently always true.
If a VO is created, but no video is playing (i.e. --force-window is
used), then until now no subtitles were shown. This is because VO
subtitle display normally depends on video frame timing. If there are no
video frames, there can be no subtitles.
Change this and add some code to handle this situation specifically. Set
a subtitle PTS manually and request VO redrawing manually, which gets
the subtitles rendered somehow.
This is kind of shaky. The subtitles are essentially sampled at
arbitrary times (such as when new audio data is decoded and pushed to
the AO, or on user interaction). To make a it slightly more consistent,
force a completely arbitrary minimum FPS of 10.
Other solutions (such as creating fake video) would be more intrusive or
would require VO-level API changes.
Fixes#3684.
Rename the text subtitle options from --sub-text- to --sub-
and --ass- options to --sub-ass-.
The intention is to common sub options to prefixed --sub-
and special ASS option be seen as a special version of sub options.
The OSD options that work like the --sub- options are still named
--osd-.
Man page updated including a short note about renamed --sub-text-*
and --ass-* options to --sub-* and --sub-ass-*.
Secondary subtitle streams (to be shown on the top of the screen along
main subtitle stream) were shown with normal alignment. This is because
we tell libass to override the alignment style (a relatively recent
change, see commit 2f1eb49e). This would behave differently with old
libass versions too.
To escape the mess, just set the alignment explicitly with an override
tag instead of modifying the style.
Remove wrapper properties for OSD and video position updates, use the
new mechanism for them. We can mark the options directly. Update
behavior will work for more options (since I've casually marked more
affected options than the old less direct mechanism covered).
If --blend-subtitles=yes is given, vo_opengl will call osd_draw()
multiple times, once for subtitles, and once for OSD. This meant that
the want_redraw flag was reset before the OSD was rendered, which in
turn meant that update_osd() was never called. It seems like removing
the per-OSD object want_redraw wasn't such a good idea. Fix it by
reintroducing such a flag for OSDTYPE_OSD only.
Also, the want_redraw flag is now unused, so kill it.
Another regression caused by commit 9c9cf125. Fixes#3535.
This could in theory lead to missed updates if subtitles were switched
or external OSD overlays (via overlay-add) were updated. While the
change IDs of each of those were consistent, switching between two
separate OSD sources is not, and we have to explicitly trigger a change.
Regression since commit 9c9cf125. The new code is actually better,
because we do exactly what is needed, and don't just mess with the
update ID for libass-based OSD.
Remove the per-part force_redraw flags, and instead make the difference
between flagging dirty state and returning it to the player frontend
more explicit. The big issue is that 1. the OSD needs to know the dirty
state, and it should be cleared strictly when it is re-rendered
(force_redraw flag), and 2. the player core needs to be notified once,
and the notification must be reset (want_redraw flag).
The call in loadfile.c is replaced by making osd_set_sub() set the
change flag. Increasing the change flag on dirty state (the force_redraw
check in render_object()) should not be needed, because OSD part
renderers set it correctly (at least now).
Doing this just because someone pointed this out.
This is a bug fix, and the text alignment functionality probably got
lost sometime along the way.
For ASS subtitles, this could have unintended consequences, so it's hard
to get right - thus it's not applied to ASS subtitles.
For other text subtitles, this should be fine, though. It still works on
ASS subtitles as promised by the manpage if --no-sub-ass is used.
Whitelisting supported codecs is (probably) still better than just
allowing everything, given the weird FFmpeg API. I'm also assuming
Libav doesn't even have the codec ID, but I didn't check.
Also add a --teletext-page option, since otherwise it decodes every
teletext page and shows them in succession.
And yes, we can't use av_opt_set_int() - instead we have to set it as
string. Because FFmpeg's option system is terrible.
Like it's done for audio and video. Just to be uniform.
I'm sorry for deleting the anti-ffmpeg vitriol. It's still all true, but
since we decided to always set the timebase, the crappiness is isolated
to FFmpeg internals.
The accepts_packet packet callback is supposed to deal with subtitle
decoders which have only a small queue of current subtitle events (i.e.
sd_lavc.c), in case feeding it too many packets would discard events
that are still needed.
Normally, the number of subtitles that need to be preserved is estimated
by the rendering pts (get_bitmaps() argument). Rendering lags behind
decoding, so normally the rendering pts is smaller than the next video
frame pts, and we simply discard all subtitle events until the rendering
pts.
This breaks down in some annoying corner cases. One of them is seeking
backwards: the VO will still try to render the old PTS during seeks,
which passes a high PTS to the subtitle renderer, which in turn would
discard more subtitles than it should. There is a similar issue with
forward seeks. Add hacks to deal with those issues.
There should be a better way to deal with the essentially unknown
"rendering position", which is made worse by screenshots or rendering
with vf_sub. At the very least, we could handle seeks better, and e.g.
either force the VO not to re-render subs after seeks (ugly), or
introduce seek sequence numbers to distinguish attempts to render
earlier subtitles when a seek is done.
This has two reasons:
1. I tend to add new fields to this metadata, and every time I've done
so I've consistently forgotten to update all of the dozens of places in
which this colorimetry metadata might end up getting used. While most
usages don't really care about most of the metadata, sometimes the
intend was simply to “copy” the colorimetry metadata from one struct to
another. With this being inside a substruct, those lines of code can now
simply read a.color = b.color without having to care about added or
removed fields.
2. It makes the type definitions nicer for upcoming refactors.
In going through all of the usages, I also expanded a few where I felt
that omitting the “young” fields was a bug.
