* loadfile, ytdl_hook: don't reject EDL-resolved URLs through playlistwm42019-09-191-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ytdl wrapper can resolve web links to playlists. This playlist is passed as big memory:// blob, and will contain further quite normal web links. When playback of one of these playlist entries starts, ytdl is called again and will resolve the web link to a media URL again. This didn't work if playlist entries resolved to EDL URLs. Playback was rejected with a "potentially unsafe URL from playlist" error. This was completely weird and unexpected: using the playlist entry directly on the command line worked fine, and there isn't a reason why it should be different for a playlist entry (both are resolved by the ytdl wrapper anyway). Also, if the only EDL URL was added via audio-add or sub-add, the URL was accessed successfully. The reason this happened is because the playlist entries were marked as STREAM_SAFE_ONLY, and edl:// is not marked as "safe". Playlist entries passed via command line directly are not marked, so resolving them to EDL worked. Fix this by making the ytdl hook set load-unsafe-playlists while the playlist is parsed. (After the playlist is parsed, and before the first playlist entry is played, file-local options are reset again.) Further, extend the load-unsafe-playlists option so that the playlist entries are not marked while the playlist is loaded. Since playlist entries are already verified, this should change nothing about the actual security situation. There are now 2 locations which check load_unsafe_playlists. The old one is a bit redundant now. In theory, the playlist loading code might not be the only code which sets these flags, so keeping the old code is somewhat justified (and in any case it doesn't hurt to keep it). In general, the security concept sucks (and always did). I can for example not answer the question whether you can "break" this mechanism with various combinations of archives, EDL files, playlists files, compromised sites, and so on. You probably can, and I'm fully aware that it's probably possible, so don't blame me.
* vo_gpu: x11: remove special vdpau probing, use EGL by defaultwm42019-09-151-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, vo_gpu/vo_opengl considered the case of Nvidia proprietary drivers, which required vdpau/GLX, and Intel open source drivers, which require vaapi/EGL. Since window creation and GPU context creation are inseparable in mpv's internal API, it had to pick the correct API very early, or hardware decoding wouldn't work. "x11probe" was introduced for this reason. It created a GLX context (without showing the window yet), and checked whether vdpau was available. If yes, it used GLX, if not, it continued probing x11/EGL. (Obviously it couldn't always fail on GLX without vdpau, which is why it was a separate "probe" backend.) Years passed, and now the situation is different. Vdpau is dead. Nvidia drivers and libavcodec now provide CUDA interop, which requires EGL, and fixes some of the vdpau problems. AMD drivers now provide vaapi, which generally works better than vdpau. Intel didn't change. In particular, vaapi provides working HEVC Main10 support. In theory, it should work on vdpau too, with quality reduction (no 10 bit surfaces), but I couldn't get it to work. So always prefer EGL. And suddenly hardware decoding works. This is actually rather important, because HEVC is unfortunately on the rise, despite shitty encoders and unoptimized decoders. The latter may mean that hardware decoding works better than libavcodec. This should have been done a long, long time ago.

* command, demux: remove program propertywm42019-09-131-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | 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.
* Remove classic Linux analog TV support, and DVB runtime controlswm42019-09-132-199/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Remove optical disc fancification layerswm42019-09-131-39/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Remove libdvdread support in favor of libdvdnavwm42019-09-131-17/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | stream_dvd.c contained large amounts of ancient, unmaintained code, which has been historically moved to libdvdnav. Basically, it's full of low level parsing of DVD on-disc structures. Kill it for good. Users can use the remaining dvdnav support (which basically operates in non-menu mode). Users have reported that libdvdread sometimes works better, but this is just libdvdnav's problem and not ours.

* vo_gpu: implement error diffusion for ditheringBin Jin2019-06-161-1/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a straightforward parallel implementation of error diffusion algorithms in compute shader. Basically we use single work group with maximal possible size to process the whole image. After a shift mapping we are able to process all pixels column by column. A large ring buffer are allocated in shared memory to speed things up. However the size of required shared memory depends linearly on the height of video window (or screen height in fullscreen mode). In case there is no enough shared memory, it will fallback to `--dither=fruit`. The maximal allowed work group size is hardcoded as 1024. Ideally we could query `GL_MAX_COMPUTE_WORK_GROUP_INVOCATIONS`. But for whatever reason, it seems most high end card from nvidia and amd support only the minimal required value, so I guess we can stick to it for now.
* vo_gpu: allow user shader to fix texture offsetBin Jin2019-06-061-1/+7

* man: clarify vavpp requirementsNicolas F2019-05-051-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | I assume (but cannot confirm) that VA-AP-API is in fact a typo, because most if not all search engine results related to it are from mpv's manual page. By changing this to VA-API and clarifying that this requires VA-API support on a system to use it, we can hopefully make it clear to unsuspecting Windows users that this is not the filter they're looking for. Concerns #6690.
* drm_common: Support --drm-mode=<preferred|highest|N|WxH[@R]>Anton Kindestam2019-05-041-4/+15
| | | | | | | This allows to select the drm mode using a string specification. You can either select the the preferred mode, the mode with the highest resolution, by specifying WxH[@R] or by its index in the list of modes as before.
* drm_common: Add proper help option to drm-modeAnton Kindestam2019-05-041-2/+3
| | | | | | | This was implemented by using OPT_STRING_VALIDATE for drm-mode, instead of OPT_INT. Using a string here also prepares for future additions to drm-mode that aim to allow specifying a mode by its resolution.
* drm_common: Add option to toggle use of atomic modesettingAnton Kindestam2019-05-041-0/+10
| | | | | | It is useful when debugging to be able to force atomic off, or as a workaround if atomic breaks for some user. Legacy modesetting is less likely to break by virtue of being a less complex API.

* cocoa-cb: refactor title bar stylingder richter2019-04-021-11/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | half of the materials we used were deprecated with macOS 10.14, broken and not supported by run time changes of the macOS theme. furthermore our styling names were completely inconsistent with the actually look since macOS 10.14, eg ultradark got a lot brighter and couldn't be considered ultradark anymore. i decided to drop the old option --macos-title-bar-style and rework the whole mechanism to allow more freedom. now materials and appearance can be set separately. even if apple changes the look or semantics in the future the new options can be easily adapted.

| * vo_gpu: use dB units for scene change detectionNiklas Haas2019-02-181-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than the linear cd/m^2 units, these (relative) logarithmic units lend themselves much better to actually detecting scene changes, especially since the scene averaging was changed to also work logarithmically.
| * vo_gpu: allow boosting dark scenes when tone mappingNiklas Haas2019-02-181-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In theory our "eye adaptation" algorithm works in both ways, both darkening bright scenes and brightening dark scenes. But I've always just prevented the latter with a hard clamp, since I wanted to avoid blowing up dark scenes into looking funny (and full of noise). But allowing a tiny bit of over-exposure might be a good thing. I won't change the default just yet (better let users test), but a moderate value of 1.2 might be better than the current 1.0 limit. Needs testing especially on dark scenes.
| * vo_gpu: redesign peak detection algorithmNiklas Haas2019-02-181-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous approach of using an FIR with tunable hard threshold for scene changes had several problems: - the FIR involved annoying hard-coded buffer sizes, high VRAM usage, and the FIR sum was prone to numerical overflow which limited the number of frames we could average over. We also totally redesign the scene change detection. - the hard scene change detection was prone to both false positives and false negatives, each with their own (annoying) issues. Scrap this entirely and switch to a dual approach of using a simple single-pole IIR low pass filter to smooth out noise, while using a softer scene change curve (with tunable low and high thresholds), based on `smoothstep`. The IIR filter is extremely simple in its implementation and has an arbitrarily user-tunable cutoff frequency, while the smoothstep-based scene change curve provides a good, tunable tradeoff between adaptation speed and stability - without exhibiting either of the traditional issues associated with the hard cutoff. Another way to think about the new options is that the "low threshold" provides a margin of error within which we don't care about small fluctuations in the scene (which will therefore be smoothed out by the IIR filter).
| * vo_gpu: improve tone mapping desaturationNiklas Haas2019-02-181-11/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of desaturating towards luma, we desaturate towards the per-channel tone mapped version. This essentially proves a smooth roll-off towards the "hollywood"-style (non-chromatic) tone mapping algorithm, which works better for bright content, while continuing to use the "linear" style (chromatic) tone mapping algorithm for primarily in-gamut content. We also split up the desaturation algorithm into strength and exponent, which allows users to use less aggressive desaturation settings without affecting the overall curve.
| * options: do not enable MPEG2 hwdec by defaultMartin Herkt2019-02-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Too many broken hardware decoders. Noticed wrong decoding of a video file encoded with x262 on RX Vega when using VAAPI (Mesa 18.3.2). Looks fine with swdec and a cheap hardware BD player. Reverts 017f3d0674e48a587b9e6cd7a48f15519c799c3e

| * player: make playback termination asynchronouswm42018-05-241-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, stopping playback aborted the demuxer and I/O layer violently by signaling mp_cancel (bound to libavformat's AVIOInterruptCB mechanism). Change it to try closing them gracefully. The main purpose is to silence those libavformat errors that happen when you request termination. Most of libavformat barely cares about the termination mechanism (AVIOInterruptCB), and essentially it's like the network connection is abruptly severed, or file I/O suddenly returns I/O errors. There were issues with dumb TLS warnings, parsers complaining about incomplete data, and some special protocols that require server communication to gracefully disconnect. We still want to abort it forcefully if it refuses to terminate on its own, so a timeout is required. Users can set the timeout to 0, which should give them the old behavior. This also removes the old mechanism that treats certain commands (like "quit") specially, and tries to terminate the demuxers even if the core is currently frozen. This is for situations where the core synchronized to the demuxer or stream layer while network is unresponsive. This in turn can only happen due to the "program" or "cache-size" properties in the current code (see one of the previous commits). Also, the old mechanism doesn't fit particularly well with the new one. We wouldn't want to abort playback immediately on a "quit" command - the new code is all about giving it a chance to end it gracefully. We'd need some sort of watchdog thread or something equally complicated to handle this. So just remove it. The change in osd.c is to prevent that it clears the status line while waiting for termination. The normal status line code doesn't output anything useful at this point, and the code path taken clears it, both of which is an annoying behavior change, so just let it show the old one.

| * command: give named arguments to almost all commandswm42018-05-241-77/+172
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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".)
