* Remove classic Linux analog TV support, and DVB runtime controlswm42019-09-131-267/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* command: whitelist some blocking accesses for certain demuxers/streamswm42018-05-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The properties/commands touched in this commit are all for obscure special inputs (BD/DVD/DVB/TV), and they all block on the demuxer/stream layer. For network streams, this blocking is very unwelcome. They will affect playback and probably introduce pauses and frame drops. The player can even freeze fully, and the logic that tries to make playback abortable even if frozen complicates the player. Since the mentioned accesses are not needed for network streams, but they will block on network streams even though they're going to fail, add a flag that coarsely enables/disables these accesses. Essentially it establishes a whitelist of demuxers/streams which support them. In theory you could to access BD/DVD images over network (or add such support, I don't think it's a thing in mpv). In these cases these controls still can block and could even "freeze" the player completely. Writing to the "program" and "cache-size" properties still can block even for network streams. Just don't use them if you don't want freezes.
* tv: Recognise v4l2 'JPEG' fourccPhilip Langdale2018-03-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Naturally, there's more than one fourcc that indicates an mjpeg stream. I have a particular ancient webcam here (Logitech QuickCam Messanger) that only supports the single 'JPEG' format, but there are other devices out there which support both 'JPEG' and 'MJPG' with no visible differences, and others where the streams are slightly different. Regardless of those details, it remains correct to treat 'JPEG' the same as 'MJPG' from a stream consumption perspective.
* demux_tv.c: add missing copyright headerwm42017-06-211-0/+22
| | | | | The file consists of stream/tv.c contents. Use the copyright header of that file.
* demux: replace custom return codes with CONTROL_ oneswm42017-06-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | This is more uniform, and potentially gets rid of some past copyrights. It might be that this subtly changes caching behavior (it seems before this, it synced to the demuxer if the length was unknown, which is not what we want.)
* Drop/move img_fourcc.hwm42017-06-181-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This file is an leftover from when img_format.h was changed from using the ancient FourCCs (based on Microsoft multimedia conventions) for pixel formats to a simple enum. The remaining cases still inherently used FourCCs for whatever reasons. Instead of worrying about residual copyrights in this file, just move it into code we don't want to relicense (the ancient Linux TV code). We have to fix some other code depending on it. For the most part, we just replace the MP_FOURCC macro with libavutil's MKTAG (although the macro definition is exactly the same). In demux_raw, we drop some pre-defined FourCCs, but it's not like it matters. (Instead of --demuxer-rawvideo-format use --demuxer-rawvideo-mp-format.)
* stream: get rid of streamtype enumwm42017-02-021-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | Because it's kind of dumb. (But not sure if it was worth the trouble.) For stream_file.c, we add new explicit fields. The rest are rather special uses and can be killed by comparing the stream impl. name. The changes to DVD/BD/CD/TV are entirely untested.
* demux_tv: free the correct field instead of creating dangling pointerwm42017-02-021-1/+1
| | | | | | This could potentially have caused fun crashes if the --tv-channels option was used, and something more advanced than tv:// was used to open it. (This code is still untested.)
* tv: remove weird option parsing stuffwm42016-09-091-6/+14
| | | | Mostly untested.
* input, demux_tv: remove some older option access methodswm42016-09-061-2/+2

* demux: merge sh_video/sh_audio/sh_subwm42016-01-121-18/+14
| | | | | | | | | | This is mainly a refactor. I'm hoping it will make some things easier in the future due to cleanly separating codec metadata and stream metadata. Also, declare that the "codec" field can not be NULL anymore. demux.c will set it to "" if it's NULL when added. This gets rid of a corner case everything had to handle, but which rarely happened.
* demux: remove weird tripple-buffering for the sh_stream listwm42015-12-231-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The demuxer infrastructure was originally single-threaded. To make it suitable for multithreading (specifically, demuxing and decoding on separate threads), some sort of tripple-buffering was introduced. There are separate "struct demuxer" allocations. The demuxer thread sets the state on d_thread. If anything changes, the state is copied to d_buffer (the copy is protected by a lock), and the decoder thread is notified. Then the decoder thread copies the state from d_buffer to d_user (again while holding a lock). This avoids the need for locking in the demuxer/decoder code itself (only demux.c needs an internal, "invisible" lock.) Remove the streams/num_streams fields from this tripple-buffering schema. Move them to the internal struct, and protect them with the internal lock. Use accessors for read access outside of demux.c. Other than replacing all field accesses with accessors, this separates allocating and adding sh_streams. This is needed to avoid race conditions. Before this change, this was awkwardly handled by first initializing the sh_stream, and then sending a stream change event. Now the stream is allocated, then initialized, and then declared as immutable and added (at which point it becomes visible to the decoder thread immediately). This change is useful for PR #2626. And eventually, we should probably get entirely of the tripple buffering, and this makes a nice first step.
* demux: rename sh_stream.format to sh_stream.codec_tagwm42015-06-211-1/+1
| | | | | Why not. "format" sounds too misleading for the actual importance and meaning of this field.
* audio: decouple demux and audio decoder/filter sample formatswm42014-09-241-25/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a while, we used this to transfer PCM from demuxer to the filter chain. We had a special "codec" that mapped what MPlayer used to do (MPlayer passes the AF sample format over an extra field to ad_pcm, which specially interprets it). Do this by providing a mp_set_pcm_codec() function, which describes a sample format in a generic way, and sets the appropriate demuxer header fields so that libavcodec interprets it correctly. We use the fact that libavcodec has separate PCM decoders for each format. These are systematically named, so we can easily map them. This has the advantage that we can change the audio filter chain as we like, without losing features from the "rawaudio" demuxer. In fact, this commit also gets rid of the audio filter chain formats completely. Instead have an explicit list of PCM formats. (We could even just have the user pass libavcodec PCM decoder names directly, but that would be annoying in other ways.)
* audio: drop swapped-endian audio formatswm42014-09-231-7/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, the audio chain could handle both little endian and big endian formats. This actually doesn't make much sense, since the audio API and the HW will most likely prefer native formats. Or at the very least, it should be trivial for audio drivers to do the byte swapping themselves. From now on, the audio chain contains native-endian formats only. All AOs and some filters are adjusted. af_convertsignendian.c is now wrongly named, but the filter name is adjusted. In some cases, the audio infrastructure was reused on the demuxer side, but that is relatively easy to rectify. This is a quite intrusive and radical change. It's possible that it will break some things (especially if they're obscure or not Linux), so watch out for regressions. It's probably still better to do it the bulldozer way, since slow transition and researching foreign platforms would take a lot of time and effort.
* demux: gracefully handle packet allocation failureswm42014-09-161-10/+14
| | | | Now the packet allocation functions can fail.
* demux: minor simplificationwm42014-07-061-3/+1
| | | | Oops, should have been part of commit 37085788.
* tv: move demuxer parts to separate filewm42014-07-051-0/+251
Now all demuxer implementations (at least demuxer API-wise) are in the demux directory.
