The Matroska timeline code was the only thing which still used the
demuxer.type field. This field explicitly identifies a demuxer
implementation. The purpose of the Matroska timeline code was to reject
files that are not Matroska. But it already forces the Matroska format,
meaning loading will explicitly only use the Matroska demuxer. If the
demuxer can't open the file, no other demuxer will be tried, and thus
checking the field is redundant.
The change in demux_mkv_timeline.c removes the if condition, and
unindents the if body.
Only demux_cue and demux_edl used it. It's a weird field and doesn't
help with anything anymore - by now, it only saves a priv context in the
mentioned demuxers. Reducing the number of confusing things the demuxer
struct has is more important than minimizing the code.
Move the implementation, of which most was in tl_cue.c, to demux_cue.c.
Currently, this is illogical, because tl_cue.c still accesses MPContext.
This is going to change, and then it will be better if everything is in
demux_cue.c. This is only a separate commit to distinguish code movement
and actual work; the next commit will do the actual work.
Instead of accessing MPContext in player/timeline/*, create a separate
context struct, which the timeline loaders fill out. It turns out that
there's not much in the way too big MPContext that these need to access.
One major PITA is managing (and closing) the set of open demuxers. The
problem is that we need a list of all demuxers to make sure no unneeded
streams are enabled.
This adds a callback to the demuxer_desc struct, with the intention of
leaving to to the demuxer to call the right loader, instead of
explicitly checking the demuxer type and dispatching manually in common
code. I also considered making the timeline part of the demuxer state,
but decided against: it's too much of a mess wrt. memory management and
threading, and also doesn't make it clear who owns the child demuxers.
With the struct timeline decoupled from the demuxer state, it's at least
somewhat clear that the child demuxers are independent from the "main"
demuxer.
The actual changes to player/timeline/* are separated in the following
commits, because they're quite verbose. Some artifacts will be removed
later as soon as there's only 1 timeline loading mechanism.
Also effects some other cases.
The real reason for this is for keeping track of which demuxers can be
closed (see following commit). Since I don't want to use reference
counting for this, some sort of simplistic mark-and-sweep is done to
determine whether a demuxer is still needed.
The HLs protocol consists of a "playlist" main file, which mpv downloads
and passes to the HLS demuxer. The HLS demuxer actually requests segment
files containing media data on its own. The packets read from the
demuxer have a source file position set, but it's not from the main
file. This leads to a strange effect: as a last fallback, the player
will calculate the approximate playback position from the file
position/size ratio, and since the main file is tiny, this will always
show 100%. Fix this by resetting the packet file position.
This doesn't affect the case when HLS actually reports a duration.
Now --ass-use-margins doesn't apply to normal subtitles anymore. This is
probably the inverse from the mpv behavior users expected so far, and
thus a breaking change, so rename the option, that the user at least has
a chance to lookup the option and decide whether the new behavior is
wanted or not.
The basic idea here is:
- plain text subtitles should have a certain useful defalt behavior,
like actually using margins
- ASS subtitles should never be broken by default
- ASS subtitles should look and behave like plaintext subtitles if
the --ass-style-override=force option is used
This also subtly changes --sub-scale-with-window and adds the --ass-
scale-with-window option. Since this one isn't so important, don't
bother with compatibility.
You can set in which "corner" the OSD and subtitles are shown. I'd
prefer it a bit more general (so you could set the alignment using
a factor), but the libass API does not provide this.
Until now, they used exactly the same defaults for the styling options.
The defaults were shared, so it was impossible to have different
defaults. Change this. This requires duplicating the full default
struct, even for settings that are the same. The list of options is
still shared, though.
The previous commit effectively fixes the mess caused by 'config' vs.
'mpv.conf', and the hack introduced by commit e01a6dac and extended by
commit db167cd4 isn't needed anymore.
Actually, it's pretty simple to look for multiple filenames at once,
since mp_find_all_config_files() is already a bit "special" anyway.
See #1569. Reverts most of commit db167cd4 (keeps osx-bundle.conf).
A recent behavior change in libavcodec's h264 decoder keeps at least 1
surface even after avcodec_flush_buffers() has been called. We used to
flush the decoder in order to make sure all surfaces are free'd, so that
the hw decoder can be safely uninitialized. This doesn't work anymore.
Fix it by closing the AVCodecContext before the hw decoder is
uninitialized. This is actually simpler and more robust. It seems to be
well-supported too.
Fixes invalid read accesses with vaapi-copy and dxva2-copy. These
destroyed the hwdec API fully on uninit, and could not deal with
surfaces surviving the decoder.
Probably fixes#1587.
The way the AO wakes up the playloop has nothing to do with events;
instead we must query the events on the AO once the playloop was woken
up. Querying the events in every playloop iteration is thus the correct
way to do this.
If the previous subtitle packet is too far back, and the refresh seek
won't pick it up, and the packet never comes again. As a consequence,
the refresh mode was never stopped on the subtitle stream, which caused
all packets to be discarded.
Fix by assuming the file position is monotonically increasing; then it
will resume even if a packet _after_ the intended resume point is
returned. This introduces a new requirement on how the demuxer behaves.
(I'm not sure if mp4 actually satisfies this requirement in all cases.)
Fixes a regression introduced by commit f9f2e1cc.
This commit adds notifications for hot plugging of devices. It also extends
the old behaviour of the `audio-out-detected-device` property which is now
backed by the hotplugging code. This allows clients to be notified when the
actual audio output device changes.
Maybe hotplugging should be supported for ao_coreaudio_exclusive too, but it's
device selection code is a bit fragile.
Apparently there's at least one distro which ships a /etc/mpv/mpv.conf
file (mpv doesn't install such a file). This breaks config files named
'config' located in the user's mpv config directory, because mpv first
loads files named 'config' and then 'mpv.conf'. There is no mechanism
for putting files with different names into the same config path order.
(Even worse, that mpv.conf file only set an option to the default value.
Why do distros always do very stupid things?)
Print a warning on collisions.
Although using 'config' was well-supported, supporting both names is
starting to become messy, so deprecate 'config' and print a warning if
one is found.
At least we will be able to remove the whole mess once 'config' files
are ignored...
This also affects the osx-bundle, which intentionally used these not-so-
optimal semantics. Solve it in a different way. (Unfortunately with an
ifdef - it's not required, but having to explain everyone why mpv tries
to load a osx-bundle.mpv file on Linux and Windows would consume
energy.)
Closes#1569.
Makes all keys documented in XF86keysym.h mappable. This requires the
user to deal with numeric keycodes; no names are queried or exported.
This is an easy way to avoid adding all the hundreds of XF86 keys to
our X11 lookup table and mpv's keycode/name list.
Happens to fix#1581 due to an unfortunate interaction with the way the
VO does not react to commands for a while if a video frame is queued.
Slightly improves other situations as well, if the client spams mpv with
commands during playback.
This removes the delay when switching audio tracks in mkv or mp4 files.
Other formats are not enabled, because it's not clear whether the
demuxers fulfill the requirements listed in demux.h. (Many formats
definitely do not with libavformat.)
Background:
The demuxer packet cache buffers a certain amount of packets. This
includes only packets from selected streams. We discard packets from
other streams for various reasons. This introduces a problem: switching
to a different audio track introduces a delay. The delay is as big as
the demuxer packet cache buffer, because while the file was read ahead
to fill the packet buffer, the process of reading packets also discarded
all packets from the previously not selected audio stream. Once the
remaining packet buffer has been played, new audio packets are available
and you hear audio again.
We could probably just not discard packets from unselected streams. But
this would require additional memory and CPU resources, and also it's
hard to tell when packets from unused streams should be discarded (we
don't want to keep them forever; it'd be a memory leak).
We could also issue a player hr-seek to the current playback position,
which would solve the problem in 1 line of code or so. But this can be
rather slow.
So what we do in this commit instead is: we just seek back to the
position where our current packet buffer starts, and start demuxing from
this position again. This way we can get the "past" packets for the
newly selected stream. For streams which were already selected the
packets are simply discarded until the previous position is reached
again.
That latter part is the hard part. We really want to skip packets
exactly until the position where we left off previously, or we will skip
packets or feed packets to the decoder twice. If we assume that the
demuxer is deterministic (returns exactly the same packets after a seek
to a previous position), then we can try to check whether it's the same
packet as the one at the end of the packet buffer. If it is, we know
that the packet after it is where we left off last time.
Unfortunately, this is not very robust, and maybe it can't be made
robust. Currently we use the demux_packet.pos field as unique packet
ID - which works fine in some scenarios, but will break in arbitrary
ways if the basic requirement to the demuxer (as listed in the demux.h
additions) are broken. Thus, this is enabled only for the internal mkv
demuxer and the libavformat mp4 demuxer.
(libavformat mkv does not work, because the packet positions are not
unique. Probably could be fixed upstream, but it's not clear whether
it's a bug or a feature.)
Until now, some packets could return the same file position if they were
split off from a Matroska-level packet. This was perfectly fine, because
the file position isn't used for anything overly important (it uses it
to estimate playback position if no other information is available). The
following commit will use the demux_packet.pos field as unique ID (as a
simplification), so make the demuxer export more finegrained
information.
Also, the last_filepos field didn't have to be global, at least not
anymore.
Commit e920a00eb assumed that terminate_cocoa_application() actually
would exit. But apparently that is not always the case; e.g. mpv --help
will just hang. The old code had a dummy exit(0), which was apparently
actually called. Fix by explicitly exiting if mpv_main() returns and
terminate_cocoa_application() does nothing.
Requested. See manpage additions.
This also makes the magical loop_times constants slightly saner, but
shouldn't change the semantics of any existing --loop option values.
