* demux: add per-demuxer sub-optionswm42020-01-041-0/+11
| | | | | | Until now, they were all just added to options.c (e.g. demux_mkv_conf). This adds a mechanism which can be used to add future options in a (very) slightly more elegant way.
* demux: make track switching instant with certain mpegts fileswm42019-12-311-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When switching tracks, the data for the new track is missing by the amount of data prefetched. This is because all demuxers return interleaved data, and you can't just seek the switched track alone. Normally, this would mean that the new track simply gets no data for a while (e.g. silence if it's an audio track). To avoid this, mpv performs a special "refresh seek" in the demuxer, which tries to resume demuxing from an earlier position, in a way that does not disrupt decoding for the non-changed tracks. (Could write a lot about the reasons for doing something so relatively complex, and the alternatives and their weaknesses, but let's not.) This requires that the demuxer can tell whether a packet after a seek was before or after a previously demuxed packet, sort of like an unique ID. The code can use the byte position (pos) and the DTS for this. The DTS is normally strictly monotonically increasing, the position in most sane file formats too (notably not mp4, in theory). The file at hand had DTS==NOPTS packets (which is fine, usually this happens when PTS can be used instead, but the demux.c code structure doesn't make it easy to use this), and pos==-1 at the same time. The latter is what libavformat likes to return when the packet was produced by a "parser" (or in other words, packets were split or reassembled), and the packet has no real file position. That means the refresh seek mechanism has no packet position and can't work. Fix this by making up a pseudo-position if it's missing. This needs to set the same value every time, which is why it does not work for keyframe packets (which, by definition, could be a seek target). Fixes: #7306 (sort of)
* demux: fix --stream-record runtime change handlingwm42019-12-291-1/+1
| | | | Well, if that wasn't particularly dumb.
* demux: stop setting dummy stream on demux_close_stream()wm42019-12-231-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Demuxers can call demux_close_stream() to close the underlying stream if it's not needed anymore. (Useful to release "heavy" resources like FDs and sockets. Plus merely keeping a file open can have visible side effects such as inability to unmount a filesystem or, on Windows, to do anything with the file.) Until now, this set demuxer->stream to a dummy stream, because most code used to assume that the stream field is non-NULL. But this requirement disappeared (in some cases, the stream field is already NULL), so stop doing that. demux_lavf.c, one of the demuxers which calls this function, still had some of this, though.
* demux: remove debug abort()wm42019-12-221-1/+1
| | | | | | WHAT THE FUCK Fixes: #7279
* demux: add an option to control tag charsetwm42019-12-201-0/+82
| | | | | | Fucking gross that you need this in almost-2020. Fixes: #7255
* stream, demux: redo origin policy thingwm42019-12-201-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mpv has a very weak and very annoying policy that determines whether a playlist should be used or not. For example, if you play a remote playlist, you usually don't want it to be able to read local filesystem entries. (Although for a media player the impact is small I guess.) It's weak and annoying as in that it does not prevent certain cases which could be interpreted as bad in some cases, such as allowing playlists on the local filesystem to reference remote URLs. It probably barely makes sense, but we just want to exclude some other "definitely not a good idea" things, all while playlists generally just work, so whatever. The policy is: - from the command line anything is played - local playlists can reference anything except "unsafe" streams ("unsafe" means special stream inputs like libavfilter graphs) - remote playlists can reference only remote URLs - things like "memory://" and archives are "transparent" to this This commit does... something. It replaces the weird stream flags with a slightly clearer "origin" value, which is now consequently passed down and used everywhere. It fixes some deviations from the described policy. I wanted to force archives to reference only content within them, but this would probably have been more complicated (or required different abstractions), and I'm too lazy to figure it out, so archives are now "transparent" (playlists within archives behave the same outside). There may be a lot of bugs in this. This is unfortunately a very noisy commit because: - every stream open call now needs to pass the origin - so does every demuxer open call (=> params param. gets mandatory) - most stream were changed to provide the "origin" value - the origin value needed to be passed along in a lot of places - I was too lazy to split the commit Fixes: #7274
* demux: do not make up demuxer_idwm42019-12-031-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The demuxer_id (exported in as "src-id" property) is supposed to be the native stream ID, as it exists in the file, or -1 if that does not exist (actually any negative value), or if it is unknown. Until now, an ID was made up if it was missing. That seems like strange non-sense, and I can't find the reason why it was done. But it was probably for convenience by the EDL stuff or so. Stop doing this. Fortunately, the src-id property was documented as being unavailable if the ID is not known. Even the code for this was present, it was just inactive until now. Extend input.rst with some explanations. Also fixing 3 other places where negative demuxer_id was ignored or avoided.
* stats, demux: log byte level stream seekswm42019-11-071-0/+7
|
* demux: unconditionally reposition stream to start before openingwm42019-11-061-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | The old code made it depend on ->seekable. If it isn't seekable, and something discarded the data, then it'll just show an error message, which will at least be somewhat informative. If no data was discarded, the seek call is always a no-op. There's a weird "timeline" condition in the old code; this doesn't matter anymore, because timeline stuff does not pass streams down to nested demuxers anymore.
* demux: reduce log level for cache index resizingwm42019-11-011-2/+2
| | | | Now that I probably removed all bugs in this (?), this is uninteresting.
* demux: restore some of the DVD/BD/CDDA interaction layerswm42019-10-031-9/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This partially reverts commit a9d83eac40c94f44d19fab7b6955331f10efe301 ("Remove optical disc fancification layers"). Mostly due to the timestamp crap, this was never really going to work. The playback layer is sensitive to timestamps, and derives the playback time directly from the low level packet timestamps. DVD/BD works differently, and libdvdnav/libbluray do not make it easy at all to compensate for this. Which is why it never worked well, but not doing it at all is even more awful. demux_disc.c tried this and rewrote packet timestamps from low level TS to playback time. So restore demux_disc.c, which should bring behavior back to the old often non-working but slightly better state. I did not revert anything that affects components above the demuxer layer. For example, the properties for switching DVD angles or listing disc titles are still gone. (Disc titles could be reimplemented as editions. But not by me.) This commit modifies the reverted code a bit; this can't be avoided, because the internal API changed quite a bit. The old seek resync in demux_lavf.c (which was a hack) is replaced with a hack. SEEK_FORCE and demux_params.external_stream are new additions. Some of this could/should be further cleaned up. If you don't want "proper" DVD/BD support to disappear, you should probably volunteer. Now why am I wasting my time for this? Just because some idiot users are too lazy to rip their ever-wearing out shitty physical discs? Then why should I not be lazy and drop support completely? They won't even be thankful for me maintaining this horrible garbage for no compensation.
* demux: make --record-file/cache dump command work with disabled streamswm42019-09-291-5/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This passed all streams to mp_recorder_create(), even disabled ones. The disabled streams never get packets, so recorder.c eventually errors out with unrelated-looking errors. The reason is that recorder.c waits for packets to appear on other streams, which in turn is because libavformat refuses to mux empty streams anyway. recorder.c could call demux_stream_is_selected(), which would have made the patch much smaller. But this feels like a bad idea, since recorder.c should use sh_stream only for metadata (and not in an "active" way), nor should it care what demux.c is currently doing with it. So make the API user (demux.c) pass only the streams it really wants. Fixes: #6999
* recorder: don't use a magic index for mp_recorder_get_sink()wm42019-09-291-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although this was sort of elegant, it just seems to complicate things slightly. Originally, the API meant that you cache mp_recorder_sink yourself (which would avoid the mess of passing an index around), but that too seems slightly roundabout. In a later change, I want to change the set of streams passed to mp_recorder_create(), and then I'd have to keep track of the index for each stream, which would suck. With this commit, I can just pass the unambiguous sh_stream to it, and it will be guaranteed to match the correct stream. The disadvantages are barely worth discussing. It's a new linear search per packet, but usually only 2 to 4 streams are active at a time. Also, in theory a user could want to write 2 streams using the same sh_stream (same metadata, just writing different packets or so), but in practice this is never done.
* demux: force reading packets again after seekswm42019-09-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in->eof is used as an indicator whether reading packets still makes sense. (Without this, the prefetcher would obviously burn CPU by retrying reading even though everything has been read.) This was not reset properly after seeks were performed. It led to getting stuck in at least one corner case: when enabling a track, the demuxer would seek backwards to get new packets from the current playback position ("refresh seeks"). But if playback was paused, and EOF was previously reached, it would not try to read packers again due to in->eof being false. There was not anything else that would make it retry reading, so it was stuck in a weird underrun/buffering state. Fixes: #6986
* demux: remove redundant seek range updateGunnar Marten2019-09-241-2/+0
| | | | | This was a leftover from commit b2752321 which fixed #6522 but after the recent demux refactoring this fix is superseded by commit 0f6cda4ab. Remove the redundant update call.
* demux: propagate streaming flag through demux_timelinewm42019-09-201-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this commit, EDL or CUE files did not properly enable the cache if they were on "slow" media (stream->streaming==true). This happened because the stream is unset for demux_timeline, so the streaming flag could not be queried anymore. Fix this by adding this flag to struct demuxer, and propagate it exactly like the is_network flag. is_network is not used for checking the cache options anymore, and its main function seems to be something else. Normal http streams set the streaming flag already. This should fix #6958.
* demux: fix another incorrect BOF cache flag issuewm42019-09-191-2/+5

* command, demux: add AB-loop keyframe cache align commandwm42019-09-191-0/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* demux, command: add a third stream recording mechanismwm42019-09-191-0/+204
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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?
* demux: move packet cache reading to a functionwm42019-09-191-14/+27
| | | | Useful for a following commit.
* demux: move a seek helper to a separate functionwm42019-09-191-35/+47
| | | | | | | It makes some slight sense and helps with one of the following commits. Also rename that other function to make it sound less similar to find_seek_target().
* demux: minor simplification for backward cache size optionwm42019-09-191-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | Always set max_bytes_bw to 0 if seekable cache is disabled, instead at the place of its use. This is the only use of it, so the commit should not change any behavior. (Alternatively, this could drop the max_bytes_bw variable, use the option directly, and keep the old code that resets it on use of the cache is disabled.)
* demux: allow backward cache to use unused forward cachewm42019-09-191-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, the following could happen: if you set a 1GB forward cache, and a 1GB backward cache, and you opened a 2GB file, it would prune away the data cached at the start as playback progressed past the 50% mark. With this commit, nothing gets pruned, because the total memory usage will still be 2GB, which equals the total allowed memory usage of 1GB + 1GB. There are no explicit buffers (every packet is malloc'ed and put into a linked list), so it all comes down to buffer size computations. Both reader and prune code use these sizes to decide whether a new packet should be read / an old packet discarded. So just add the remaining free "space" from the forward buffer to the available backward buffer. Still respect if the back buffer is set to 0 (e.g. unseekable cache where it doesn't make sense to keep old packets). We need to make sure that the forward buffer can always append, as long as the forward buffer doesn't exceed the set size, even if the back buffer "borrows" free space from it. For this reason, always keep 1 byte free, which is enough to allow it to read a new packet. Also, it's now necessary to call pruning when adding a packet, to get back "borrowed" space that may need to be free'd up after a packet has been added. I refrained from doing the same for forward caching (making forward cache use unused backward cache). This would work, but has a disadvantage. Assume playback starts paused. Demuxing will stop once the total allowed low total cache size is reached. When unpausing, the forward buffer will slowly move to the back buffer. That alone will not change the total buffer size, so demuxing remains stopped. Playback would need to pass over data of the size of the back buffer until demuxing resume; consider this unacceptable. Live playback would break (or rather, would not resume in unintuitive ways), even normal streaming may break if the server invalidates the URL due to inactivity. As an alternative implementation, you could prune the back buffer immediately, so the forward buffer can grow, but then the back buffer would never grow. Also makes no sense. As far as the user interface is concerned, the idea is that the limits on their own aren't really meaningful, the purpose is merely to vaguely restrict the cache memory usage. There could be just a single option to set the total allowed memory usage, but the separate backward cache controls the default ratio of backward/forward cache sizes. From that perspective, it doesn't matter if the backward cache uses more of the total buffer than assigned, if the forward buffer is complete.
* demux: don't clobber internal demuxer EOF state in cache seekswm42019-09-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The last_eof field is the last known EOF state from the underlying demuxer. Normally, seeks reset it, because obviously if seek back into the middle of the file, you don't want last_eof to have a "wrong" value for a short time window (until a packet is read, which would reset the field to its correct value). This shouldn't happen during cache seeks, because you don't touch the underlying demuxer state. At first, I made this change because some other work in progress required it. It turned out that it was unnecessary, but keep the change anyway, since it's still correct and makes the logic cleaner.
* demux: honor seek discontinuities with --stream-recordwm42019-09-191-0/+3
| | | | Do the same thing --record-file does when seeks happen.
* demux: runtime option changing for cache and stream recordingwm42019-09-191-33/+92
| | | | | | | | | Make most of the demuxer options runtime-changeable. This includes the cache options and stream recording. The manpage documents some of the possibly weird issues related to this. In particular, the disk cache isn't shuffled around if the setting changes at runtime.
* demux: enable --stream-record for things using timelinewm42019-09-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Although this is not useful in general, it makes --stream-record work with a certain video streaming service by a large dystopian company. In the general case, this fails because normal muxing can, quite obviously, not handle the segmented metadata in the packets. (There isn't even a file format which could handle these, except possibly mp4.) On the other hand, ytdl merely uses timeline/EDL to emulate DASH streaming (unfortunately), which does not use the segmented stuff, and stream recording will actually work.
* demux: make webm dash work by using init fragment on all demuxerswm42019-09-191-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Retarded webshit streaming protocols (well, DASH) chop a stream into small fragments, and move unchanging header parts to an "init" fragment to save some bytes (in the case at hand about 300 bytes for each fragment that is 100KB-200KB, sure was worth it, fucking idiots). Since mpv uses an even more retarded hack to inefficiently emulate DASH through EDL, it opens a new demuxer for every fragment. Thus the fragment needs to be virtually concatenated with the init fragment. (To be fair, I'm not sure whether the alternative, reusing the demuxer and letting it see a stream of byte-wise concatenated fragmenmts, would actually be saner.) demux_lavc.c contained a hack for this. Unfortunately, a certain shitty streaming site by an evil company, that will bestow dytopia upon us soon enough, sometimes serves webm based DASH instead of the expected mp4 DASH. And for some reason, libavformat's mkv demuxer can't handle the init fragment or rejects it for some reason. Since I'd rather eat mushrooms grown in Chernobyl than debugging, hacking, or (god no) contributing to FFmpeg, and since Chernobyl is so far away, make it work with our builtin mkv demuxer instead. This is not hard. We just need to copy the hack in demux_lavf.c to demux_mkv.c. Since I'm not _that_ much of a dumbfuck to actually do this, remove the shitty gross demux_lavf.c hack, and replace it by a slightly less bad generic implementation (stream_concat.c from the previous commit), and use it on all demuxers. Although this requires much more code, this frees demux_lavf.c from a hack, and doesn't require adding a duplicated one to demux_mkv.c, so to the naive eye this seems to be a much better outcome. Regarding the code, for some reason stream_memory_open() is never meant to fail, while stream_concat_open() can in extremely obscure situations, and (currently) not in this case, but we handle failure of it anyway. Yep.
* demux: never set demux->stream for timeline messwm42019-09-191-27/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Timeline (demux_timeline, for EDL and mkv ordered chapters) are a mess, because it's the only nested demuxer case. Part of the mess comes from shared struct stream pointers. This makes no sense, because the wrapper (demux_timeline) doesn't have any business setting it. Try to lessen it by not passing down streams. Instead, pass down NULL. This prevents unintended interference, and tightens the ownership rules. Now a demuxer always owns its stream. On the other hand, demuxer->stream can now be NULL. This was never the case before, and consequently there will be new bugs. At least they will be spotted, because they've been bugs before. struct stream is also used to access stream properties (such as whether something is considered a network stream). Most of these have been mirrored in struct demuxer (because the frontend has been forbidden to access struct stream because of threading). But during initialization was still used, so introduce an awkward struct parent_stream_info, which unifies these. Commit e0419fb181b3d2 changed demux_is_network_cached() to use demuxer->stream->streaming instead of demuxer->is_network. To enable timeline stuff to use the cache anyway, change it so that both flags can contribute to it. The stream NULL-check is obviously due to changes in this commit.
* stream: create memory streams in more straightforward waywm42019-09-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of having to rely on the protocol matching, make a function that creates a stream from a stream_info_t directly. Instead of going through a weird indirection with STREAM_CTRL, add a direct argument for non-text arguments to the open callback. Instead of creating a weird dummy mpv_global, just pass an existing one from all callers. (The latter one is just an artifact from the past, where mpv_global wasn't available everywhere.) Actually I just wanted a function that creates a stream without any of that bullshit. This goal was slightly missed, since you still need this heavy "constructor" just to setup a shitty struct with some shitty callbacks.
* demux: fix backward demuxing not grabbing all audio packetswm42019-09-191-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous commit broke audio playback (maybe this is what 4. was about?). But it wasn't the fault of the commit; it just exposed pre-existing issues. If the packet queue search can't get all packets, it checked queue->is_bof to see whether there could be previous packets. But obviously, is_bof can be set, even if the search start packet wasn't the first one. This was especially observable with audio, because audio by default needs preroll packets, and plays artifacts if they're missing. Fix by using the BOF playback condition for this purpose too.
* demux: another questionable backwards playback mud partywm42019-09-191-5/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In theory, backward demuxing does way too much work by doing a full cache seek every time you need to step back through a packet queue. In theory, it would be exceedingly more efficient to just iterate backwards through the queue, but this is not possible because I'm too stingy to add 8 bytes per packet for backlinks. (In theory, you could probably come up with some sort of deque, that'd allow efficient iteration into any direction, but other requirements make this tricky, and I'm currently too dumb/lazy to do this. For example, the queue can grow to millions of elements, all while packet pointers need to stay valid.) Another possibility is to "locally" seek the queue. This still has less overhead than a full seek. Also, it just so happens that, as a side effect, this avoids performing range merging, which commit f4b0e7e942 "broke". That wasn't a bug at all, but since range joining is relatively slow, avoiding it is good. This is really just a coincidental side effect, I'm not even quite sure why it happens this way. There are 4 ugly things about this change: 1. To get a keyframe "before" a certain one, we recompute the target PTS, and then subtract 0.001 as arbitrary number to "fudge" it. This isn't the first place where this is done, and hey, it wasn't my damn idea that MPlayer should use floats for timestamps. (At first, it even used 32 bit timestamps.) 2. This is the first time reader_head is reset to an earlier position outside of the seek code. This might cause conceptual problems since this code is now "duplicated". 3. In theory, find_backward_restart_pos() needs to be run again after the backstep. Normally, the seek code calls it explicitly. We could call it right in the new code, but then the damn function would be recursive. We could shuffle the code around to make it a loop, but even then there'd be an offchance into running into an unexpected corner case (aka subtle bug), where it would loop forever. To avoid refactoring the code and having to think too hard about it, make it deferred - add some new state and the check_backward_seek() function for this. Great, even more subtle mutable state for this backwards shit. 4. I forgot this one, but I can assure you, it's bad. Without doubt someone will have to clean up this slightly in the future (or rip it out), but it won't be me.
* demux: remove some redundancy in backward playback codewm42019-09-191-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | This code tries to determine the "current" position, which is used as base for the seek target when it needs to seek back more (the point is to prevent seeking back too far). But compute_keyframe_times() almost computes the same thing, so use that. Unfortunately needs a forward declaration. ("Almost", because it differs in some details that should not really matter.)
* demux: turn some redundant assignments into assertswm42019-09-191-3/+5
| | | | | | | | demux_packet.next should not be used outside of demux.c, and in this case it's a packet that was just passed to demux.c from the outside. demux_packet.stream is already set by the demuxer, and this is assured by the add_packet_locked() caller.
* demux: move a functionwm4
