It turns out you can actually bind keybind to another keybind. Just be

The question came up on how a client would figure out where
screenshot-directory saved its screenshots if it contained
mpv-specific expansions. This command should remedy the situation
by providing a way for the client to ask mpv to do an expansion.

Helper for the ab-loop-dump-cache command, see manpage additions.
This is kind of shit. Not only is this a very "special" feature, but it
also vomits more messy code into the big and already bloated demux.c,
and the implementation is sort of duplicated with the dump-cache code.
(Except it's different.) In addition, the results sort of depend what a
video player would do with the dump-cache output, or what the user wants
(for example, a user might be more interested in the range of output
audio, instead of the video).
But hey, I don't actually need to justify it. I'm only justifying it for
fun.

But don't tell the reader which those APIs are. Hope the user will just
search for "async" in the Lua section (lua.rst). But of course, nobody
will ever care about anything related to this.

That's right, and it's probably not the end of it. I'll just claim that
I have no idea how to create a proper user interface for this, so I'm
creating multiple partially-orthogonal, of which some may work better in
each of its special use cases.
Until now, there was --record-file. You get relatively good control
about what is muxed, and it can use the cache. But it sucks that it's
bound to playback. If you pause while it's set, muxing stops. If you
seek while it's set, the output will be sort-of trashed, and that's by
design.
Then --stream-record was added. This is a bit better (especially for
live streams), but you can't really control well when muxing stops or
ends. In particular, it can't use the cache (it just dumps whatever the
underlying demuxer returns).
Today, the idea is that the user should just be able to select a time
range to dump to a file, and it should not affected by the user seeking
around in the cache. In addition, the stream may still be running, so
there's some need to continue dumping, even if it's redundant to
--stream-record.
One notable thing is that it uses the async command shit. Not sure
whether this is a good idea. Maybe not, but whatever. Also, a user can
always use the "async" prefix to pretend it doesn't.
Much of this was barely tested (especially the reinterleaving crap),
let's just hope it mostly works. I'm sure you can tolerate the one or
other crash?

Somewhat similar to the old --cache-file, except for the demuxer cache.
Instead of keeping packet data in memory, it's written to disk and read
back when needed.
The idea is to reduce main memory usage, while allowing fast seeking in
large cached network streams (especially live streams). Keeping the
packet metadata on disk would be rather hard (would use mmap or so, or
rewrite the entire demux.c packet queue handling), and since it's
relatively small, just keep it in memory.
Also for simplicity, the disk cache is append-only. If you're watching
really long livestreams, and need pruning, you're probably out of luck.
This still could be improved by trying to free unused blocks with
fallocate(), but since we're writing multiple streams in an interleaved
manner, this is slightly hard.
Some rather gross ugliness in packet.h: we want to store the file
position of the cached data somewhere, but on 32 bit architectures, we
don't have any usable 64 bit members for this, just the buf/len fields,
which add up to 64 bit - so the shitty union aliases this memory.
Error paths untested. Side data (the complicated part of trying to
serialize ffmpeg packets) untested.
Stream recording had to be adjusted. Some minor details change due to
this, but probably nothing important.
The change in attempt_range_joining() is because packets in cache
have no valid len field. It was a useful check (heuristically
finding broken cases), but not a necessary one.
Various other approaches were tried. It would be interesting to list
them and to mention the pros and cons, but I don't feel like it.

The "program" property could switch between TS programs. It was rather
complex and rather obscure (even if you deal with TS captures, you
usually don't need it). If anyone actually needs it (did anyone ever
attempt to even use it?), it should be rewritten. The demuxer should
export a program list, and the frontend should handle the "cycling"
logic.

Linux analog TV support (via tv://) was excessively complex, and
whenever I attempted to use it (cameras or loopback devices), it didn't
work well, or would have required some major work to update it. It's
very much stuck in the analog past (my favorite are the frequency tables
in frequencies.c for analog TV channels which don't exist anymore).
Especially cameras and such work fine with libavdevice and better than
tv://, for example:
mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0
(adding --profile=low-latency --untimed even makes it mostly realtime)
Adding a new input layer that targets such "modern" uses would be
acceptable, if anyone is interested in it. The old TV code is just too
focused on actual analog TV.
DVB is rather obscure, but has an active maintainer, so don't remove it.
However, the demux/stream ctrl layer must go, so remove controls for
channel switching. Most of these could be reimplemented by using the
normal method for option runtime changes.

This removes anything related to DVD/BD/CD that negatively affected the
core code. It includes trying to rewrite timestamps (since DVDs and
Blurays do not set packet stream timestamps to playback time, and can
even have resets mid-stream), export of chapters, stream languages,
export of title/track lists, and all that.
Only basic seeking is supported. It is very much possible that seeking
completely fails on some discs (on some parts of the timeline), because
timestamp rewriting was removed.
Note that I don't give a shit about optical media. If you want to watch
them, rip them. Keeping some bare support for DVD/BD is the most I'm
going to do to appease the type of lazy, obnoxious users who will care.
There are other players which are better at optical discs.

The demuxer cache is the only cache now. Might need another change to
combat seeking failures in mp4 etc. The only bad thing is the loss of
cache-speed, which was sort of nice to have.

Before this change, only 1 command or so had named arguments. There is
no reason why other commands can't have them, except that it's a bit of
work to add them.
Commands with variable number of arguments are inherently incompatible
to named arguments, such as the "run" command. They still have dummy
names, but obviously you can't assign multiple values to a single named
argument (unless the argument has an array type, which would be
something different). For now, disallow using named argument APIs with
these commands. This might change later.
2 commands are adjusted to not need a separate default value by changing
flag constants. (The numeric values are C only and can't be set by
users.)
Make the command syntax in the manpage more consistent. Now none of the
allowed choice/flag names are in the command header, and all arguments
are shown with their proper name and quoted with <...>.
Some places in the manpage and the client.h doxygen are updated to
reflect that most commands support named arguments. In addition, try to
improve the documentation of the syntax and need for escaping etc. as
well.
(Or actually most uses of the word "argument" should be "parameter".)

This affects async commands started by client API, commands with async
capability run in a sync way by client API (think mpv_command_node()
with "subprocess"), and detached async work.
Since scripts might want to do some cleanup work (that might involve
launching processes, don't ask), we don't unconditionally kill
everything on exit, but apply an arbitrary timeout of 2 seconds until
async commands are aborted.
|
| | |
| |
| |
| | |
Now mpv_abort_async_command() can be used to stop the process.

This supports named arguments. It benefits from the infrastructure of
async commands.
The plan is to reimplement Lua's utils.subprocess() on top of it.

Named arguments should make it easier to have long time compatibility,
even if command arguments get added or removed. They're also much nicer
for commands with a large number of arguments, especially if many
arguments are optional.
As of this commit, this can not be used, because there is no command yet
which supports them. See the following commit.

Basically reimplement the async behavior on top of the async command
code. With this, all screenshot commands are async, and the "async"
prefix basically does nothing. The prefix now behaves exactly like with
other commands that use spawn_thread.
This also means using the prefix in the preset input.conf is pointless
(without effect) and misleading, so remove that.
The each_frame mode was actually particularly painful in making this
change, since the player wants to block for it when writing a
screenshot, and generally doesn't fit into the new infrastructure. It
was still relatively easy to reimplement by copying the original command
and then repeating it on each frame. The waiting is reentrant now, so
move the call in video.c to a "safer" spot.
One way to observe how the new semantics interact with everything is
using the mpv repl script and sending a screenshot command through it.
Without async flag, the script will freeze while writing the screenshot
(while playback continues), while with async flag it continues.
|
| | |
| |
| |
| |
| | |
Still missing: not freezing when removing a track (i.e. closing demuxer)
with the sub-remove/audio-remove/rescan-external-files commands.

Pretty trivial, since commands can be async now, and the common code
even provides convenience like running commands on a worker thread.
The only ugly thing is that mp_add_external_file() needs an extra flag
for locking. This is because there's still some code which calls this
synchronously from the main thread, and unlocking the core makes no
sense there.

This enables two types of command behavior:
1. Plain async behavior, like "loadfile" not completing until the file
is fully loaded.
2. Running parts of the command on worker threads, e.g. for I/O, such as
"sub-add" doing network accesses on a thread while the core
continues.
Both have no implementation yet, and most new code is actually inactive.
The plan is to implement a number of useful cases in the following
commits.
The most tricky part is handling internal keybindings (input.conf) and
the multi-command feature (concatenating commands with ";"). It requires
a bunch of roundabout code to make it do the expected thing in
combination with async commands.
There is the question how commands should be handled that come in at a
higher rate than what can be handled by the core. Currently, it will
simply queue up input.conf commands as long as memory lasts. The client
API is limited by the size of the reply queue per client. For commands
which require a worker thread, the thread pool is limited to 30 threads,
and then will queue up work in memory. The number is completely
arbitrary.

Instead of using an internal counter to keep track of the value that was
set last, attempt to find the current value of the property/option in
the value list, and then set the next value in the list.
There are some potential problems. If a property refuses to accept a
specific value, the cycle-values command will fail, and start from the
same position again. It can't know that it's supposed to skip the next
value. The same can happen to properties which behave "strangely", such
as the "aspect" property, which will return the current aspect if you
write "-1" to it. As a consequence, cycle-values can appear to get
"stuck".
I still think the new behavior is what users expect more, and which is
generally more useful. We won't restore the ability to get the old
behavior, unless we decide to revert this commit entirely.
Fixes #5772, and hopefully other complaints.

Fundamentally, scripts are loaded asynchronously, but as a feature,
there was code to wait until a script is loaded (for a certain arbitrary
definition of "loaded"). This was done in scripting.c with the
wait_loaded() function.
This called mp_idle(), and since there are commands to load/unload
scripts, it meant the player core loop could be entered recursively. I
think this is a major complication and has some problems. For example,
if you had a script that does 'os.execute("sleep inf")', then every time
you ran a command to load an instance of the script would add a new
stack frame of mp_idle(). This would lead to some sort of reentrancy
horror that is hard to debug. Also misc/dispatch.c contains a somewhat
tricky mess to support such recursive invocations. There were also some
bugs due to this and due to unforeseen interactions with other messes.
This scripting stuff was the only thing making use of that reentrancy,
and future commands that have "logical" waiting for something should be
implemented differently. So get rid of it.
Change the code to wait only in the player initialization phase: the
only place where it really has to wait is before playback is started,
because scripts might want to set options or hooks that interact with
playback initialization. Unloading of builtin scripts (can happen with
e.g. "set osc no") is left asynchronous; the unloading wasn't too robust
anyway, and this change won't make a difference if someone is trying to
break it intentionally. Note that this is not in mp_initialize(),
because mpv_initialize() uses this by locking the core, which would have
the same problem.
In the future, commands which logically wait should use different
mechanisms. Originally I thought the current approach (that is removed
with this commit) should be used, but it's too much of a mess and can't
even be used in some cases. Examples are:
- "loadfile" should be made blocking (needs to run the normal player
code and manually unblock the thread issuing the command)
- "add-sub" should not freeze the player until the URL is opened (needs
to run opening on a separate thread)
Possibly the current scripting behavior could be restored once new
mechanisms exist, and if it turns out that anyone needs it.
With this commit there should be no further instances of recursive
playloop invocations (other than the case in the following commit),
since all mp_idle()/mp_wait_events() calls are done strictly from the
main thread (and not commands/properties or libmpv client API that
"lock" the main thread).

As it turns out, there are multiple libmpv users who saw a need to
use the hook API. The API is kind of shitty and was never meant to be
actually public (it was mostly a hack for the ytdl script).
Introduce a proper API and deprecate the old one. The old one will
probably continue to work for a few releases, but will be removed
eventually.
There are some slight changes to the old API, but if a user followed
the manual properly, it won't break.
Mostly untested. Appears to work with ytdl_hook.

MPlayer used this to distinguish multiple decoder wrappers (such as
libavcodec vs. binary codec loader vs. builtin decoders). It lost
meaning in mpv as non-libavcodec things were dropped. Now it doesn't
serve any purpose anymore.
Parsing was removed quite a while ago, and the recent filter change
removed any use of the internal family field. Get rid of it.

Requested. See manpage additions.
The main reason why this goes through the trouble to keep the
action/operation parameter separate is so that we don't expose some
option parser implementation details to the command (although that is a
relatively weak reason), and also to make it more different from the
"set" command, which can't support this type of option as it goes
through the property layer.
