dvd, bluray: handle playback display time handling differently
This is a pretty big change. Instead of doing a half-hearted passthrough of the playback timestamp, we attempt to rewrite the raw MPEG timestamps such that they match with the playback time. We add the offset between raw start timestamp and playback time to the packet timestamps. This is the easy part; but the problem is with timestamp resets. We simply detect timestamp discontinuities by checking whether they are more than 500ms apart (large enough for all video faster than 2 FPS and audio with reasonable framesizes/samplerates), and adjust the timestamp offset accordingly. This should work pretty well. There may be some problems with subtitles. If the first packet after a timestamp reset is a subtitle instead of video, it will fail. Also, selecting multiple audio or video streams won't work (but mpv doesn't allow selecting several anyway). Trying to demux subtitles with no video stream enabled will probably fail. Untested with Bluray, because I have no Bluray sample. Background: libdvdnav/libdvdread/libbluray make this relatively hard. They return a raw MPEG (PS/TS) byte stream, and additionally to that provide a function to retrieve the current "playback" time. The playback time is what should be displayed to the user, while the MPEG timestamps can be completely different. Even worse, the MPEG timestamps can reset. Since we use the libavformat demuxer (instead of parsing the MPEG packets in the DVD/BD code), it's hard to associate between these timestamps. As a result, the time display is special cased in the playloop, and of low quality (updates only all 1 or 2 seconds, sometimes is incorrect). The fact that the stream cache can be between demuxer and the stream source makes things worse. All the libs seem to provide an event that tells whether timestamps are resetting. But since this signalling is byte based, it's hard to connect it to the demuxed MPEG packets. It might be possible to create some sort of table mapping file positions to discontinuities and new timestamps. (For simplicity, this table could be 2 entries large, sufficient to catch all discontinuities if the distance between them is larger than the total buffering.)
