* stream, demux: redo origin policy thingwm42019-12-201-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* console.lua: add this scriptJames Ross-Gowan2019-12-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Merged from mpv-repl git repo commit 5ea2bf64f9c239f0326b02. Some changes were made on top of it: - Tabs were converted to 4 spaces indentation (plus some manual indentation fixes in some places). - All user-visible mentions of "repl" were renamed to "console". - The README was converted to a manpage (with heavy changes, some additions taken from stats.rst; rossy converted the key bindings table to RST). - The method to change the default key binding was changed. - Change minor detail about "font" default value setting (not a functional change). - Integrate into the player as builtin script, including an option to prevent loading it.

* options: move cursor autohiding opts to mp_vo_optsdudemanguy2019-12-041-2/+3
| | | | | | Certain backends (i.e. wayland) will need to do special things with the mouse. It makes sense to expose the values of these options to them, so they can behave correctly.
* command: change window-minimized/window-maximized to optionswm42019-11-291-0/+2
| | | | | Unfortunately, this breaks window state reporting for all VOs which supported it. This can be fixed later (for x11 in the next commit).
* options: get rid of GLOBAL_CONFIG hackwm42019-11-291-2/+1
| | | | | | | Just an implementation detail that can be cleaned up now. Internally, m_config maintains a tree of m_sub_options structs, except for the root it was not defined explicitly. GLOBAL_CONFIG was a hack to get access to it anyway. Define it explicitly instead.
* player: Optionally validate st_mtime when restoring playback stateChris Down2019-11-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I often watch sporting events. On many occasions I get files with the same filename for each session. For example, for F1 I might have the following directory structure: F1/ FP1.mkv FP2.mkv FP3.mkv Qualification.mkv Race.mkv Since usually one simply watches one race after the other, I usually just rsync the new event's files over the old ones, so, for example, Race.mkv will be replaced from the file for the last event with the file from the new event. One problem with this is that I like to use --resume-playback for other kinds of media, so I have it on by default. That works great for, say, a movie, but doesn't work so well with this scheme, because you can trivially forget to pass --no-resume-playback on the command line and end up 2 hours in, watching spoilers as the race results scroll down the screen :-) This patch adds a new option, --resume-playback-check-mtime, which validates that the file's mtime hasn't changed since the watch_later configuration was saved. It does this by setting the watch_later configuration to have the same mtime as the file after it is saved. Switching back and forth between checking mtime and not checking mtime works fine, as we only choose whether to compare based on it, but we update the watch_later configuration mtime regardless of its value.
* test: make tests part of the mpv binarywm42019-11-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, each .c file in test/ was built as separate, self-contained binary. Each binary could be run to execute the tests it contained. Change this and make them part of the normal mpv binary. Now the tests have to be invoked via the --unittest option. Do this for two reasons: - Tests now run within a "properly" initialized mpv instance, so all services are available. - Possibly simplifying the situation for future build systems. The first point is the main motivation. The mpv code is entangled with mp_log and the option system. It feels like a bad idea to duplicate some of the initialization of this just so you can call code using them. I'm also getting rid of cmocka. There wouldn't be any problem to keep it (it's a perfectly sane set of helpers), but NIH calls. I would have had to aggregate all tests into a CMUnitTest list, and I don't see how I'd get different types of entry points easily. Probably easily solvable, but since we made only pretty basic use of this library, NIH-ing this is actually easier (I needed a list of tests with custom metadata anyway, so all what was left was reimplement the assert_* helpers). Unit tests now don't output anything, and if they fail, they'll simply crash and leave a message that typically requires inspecting the test code to figure out what went wrong (and probably editing the test code to get more information). I even merged the various test functions into single ones. Sucks, but here you go. chmap_sel.c is merged into chmap.c, because I didn't see the point of this being separate. json.c drops the print_message() to go along with the new silent-by-default idea, also there's a memory leak fix unrelated to the rest of this commit. The new code is enabled with --enable-tests (--enable-test goes away). Due to waf's option parser, --enable-test still works, because it's a unique prefix to --enable-tests.
* stream: turn into a ring buffer, make size configurablewm42019-11-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some corner cases (see #6802), it can be beneficial to use a larger stream buffer size. Use this as argument to rewrite everything for no reason. Turn stream.c itself into a ring buffer, with configurable size. The latter would have been easily achievable with minimal changes, and the ring buffer is the hard part. There is no reason to have a ring buffer at all, except possibly if ffmpeg don't fix their awful mp4 demuxer, and some subtle issues with demux_mkv.c wanting to seek back by small offsets (the latter was handled with small stream_peek() calls, which are unneeded now). In addition, this turns small forward seeks into reads (where data is simply skipped). Before this commit, only stream_skip() did this (which also mean that stream_skip() simply calls stream_seek() now). Replace all stream_peek() calls with something else (usually stream_read_peek()). The function was a problem, because it returned a pointer to the internal buffer, which is now a ring buffer with wrapping. The new function just copies the data into a buffer, and in some cases requires callers to dynamically allocate memory. (The most common case, demux_lavf.c, required a separate buffer allocation anyway due to FFmpeg "idiosyncrasies".) This is the bulk of the demuxer_* changes. I'm not happy with this. There still isn't a good reason why there should be a ring buffer, that is complex, and most of the time just wastes half of the available memory. Maybe another rewrite soon. It also contains bugs; you're an alpha tester now.
* sws_utils: shuffle around some shitwm42019-10-311-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Purpose uncertain. I guess it's slightly better, maybe. The move of the sws/zimg options from VO opts (vo_opt_list) to the top-level option list is tricky. VO opts have some helper code in vo.c, that sends VOCTRL_SET_PANSCAN to the VO on every VO opts change. That's because updating certain VO options used to be this way (and not just the panscan option). This isn't needed anymore for sws/zimg options, so explicitly move them away.
* wayland: add various render-related optionsdudemanguy2019-10-201-0/+1
| | | | | The newest wayland changes have some new logic that make sense to expose to users as configurable options.
* video: add zimg wrapperwm42019-10-201-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides a very similar API to sws_utils.h, which can be used to convert and scale from one mp_image to another. This commit adds only the code, but does not use it anywhere. The code is quite preliminary and barely tested. It supports only a few pixel formats, and will return failure for many others. (Unlike libswscale, which tries to support anything that FFmpeg knows.) zimg itself accepts only planar formats. Supporting other formats requires manual packing/unpacking. (Compared to libswscale, the zimg API is generally lower level, but allows for more flexibility.) Only BGR0 output was actually tested. It appears to work.
* vo: make swapchain-depth option generic for all VOsAnton Kindestam2019-09-281-0/+2

* aspect: add video margin optionswm42019-09-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Semantics a bit questionable. This is done for the OSC (next commit), and a comment added the manpage explicitly states this. Meaning this is probably garbage and needs to revisit when the OSC changes and/or someone wants to use this margin feature for something else. Not sure about the subtitle thing. It's imaginable that someone uses these options to create empty borders for subtitles on the bottom, so subtitles should be located there. On the other hand, this gives a rather unpolished user experience when using the (later added) OSC feature to not overlap with the video. There's not much of a point if the OSC still overlaps the video. However, I'm too lazy to think about this, so it stays like it is.
* demux: add a on-disk cachewm42019-09-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* options: remove --chapterwm42019-09-191-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | Has been deprecated for almost 3 years. Manpage didn't mention the deprecation, but CLI and release notes did. It wouldn't be much effort to keep this option working, but I just don't see the damn point. --start/--end can specify chapters using special syntax, which is equivalent.
* Implement backwards playbackwm42019-09-191-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | See manpage additions. This is a huge hack. You can bet there are shit tons of bugs. It's literally forcing square pegs into round holes. Hopefully, the manpage wall of text makes it clear enough that the whole shit can easily crash and burn. (Although it shouldn't literally crash. That would be a bug. It possibly _could_ start a fire by entering some sort of endless loop, not a literal one, just something where it tries to do work without making progress.) (Some obvious bugs I simply ignored for this initial version, but there's a number of potential bugs I can't even imagine. Normal playback should remain completely unaffected, though.) How this works is also described in the manpage. Basically, we demux in reverse, then we decode in reverse, then we render in reverse. The decoding part is the simplest: just reorder the decoder output. This weirdly integrates with the timeline/ordered chapter code, which also has special requirements on feeding the packets to the decoder in a non-straightforward way (it doesn't conflict, although a bugmessmass breaks correct slicing of segments, so EDL/ordered chapter playback is broken in backward direction). Backward demuxing is pretty involved. In theory, it could be much easier: simply iterating the usual demuxer output backward. But this just doesn't fit into our code, so there's a cthulhu nightmare of shit. To be specific, each stream (audio, video) is reversed separately. At least this means we can do backward playback within cached content (for example, you could play backwards in a live stream; on that note, it disables prefetching, which would lead to losing new live video, but this could be avoided). The fuckmess also meant that I didn't bother trying to support subtitles. Subtitles are a problem because they're "sparse" streams. They need to be "passively" demuxed: you don't try to read a subtitle packet, you demux audio and video, and then look whether there was a subtitle packet. This means to get subtitles for a time range, you need to know that you demuxed video and audio over this range, which becomes pretty messy when you demux audio and video backwards separately. Backward display is the most weird (and potentially buggy) part. To avoid that we need to touch a LOT of timing code, we negate all timestamps. The basic idea is that due to the navigation, all comparisons and subtractions of timestamps keep working, and you don't need to touch every single of them to "reverse" them. E.g.: bool before = pts_a < pts_b; would need to be: bool before = forward ? pts_a < pts_b : pts_a > pts_b; or: bool before = pts_a * dir < pts_b * dir; or if you, as it's implemented now, just do this after decoding: pts_a *= dir; pts_b *= dir; and then in the normal timing/renderer code: bool before = pts_a < pts_b; Consequently, we don't need many changes in the latter code. But some assumptions inhererently true for forward playback may have been broken anyway. What is mainly needed is fixing places where values are passed between positive and negative "domains". For example, seeking and timestamp user display always uses positive timestamps. The main mess is that it's not obvious which domain a given variable should or does use. Well, in my tests with a single file, it suddenly started to work when I did this. I'm honestly surprised that it did, and that I didn't have to change a single line in the timing code past decoder (just something minor to make external/cached text subtitles display). I committed it immediately while avoiding thinking about it. But there really likely are subtle problems of all sorts. As far as I'm aware, gstreamer also supports backward playback. When I looked at this years ago, I couldn't find a way to actually try this, and I didn't revisit it now. Back then I also read talk slides from the person who implemented it, and I'm not sure if and which ideas I might have taken from it. It's possible that the timestamp reversal is inspired by it, but I didn't check. (I think it claimed that it could avoid large changes by changing a sign?) VapourSynth has some sort of reverse function, which provides a backward view on a video. The function itself is trivial to implement, as VapourSynth aims to provide random access to video by frame numbers (so you just request decreasing frame numbers). From what I remember, it wasn't exactly fluid, but it worked. It's implemented by creating an index, and seeking to the target on demand, and a bunch of caching. mpv could use it, but it would either require using VapourSynth as demuxer and decoder for everything, or replacing the current file every time something is supposed to be played backwards. FFmpeg's libavfilter has reversal filters for audio and video. These require buffering the entire media data of the file, and don't really fit into mpv's architecture. It could be used by playing a libavfilter graph that also demuxes, but that's like VapourSynth but worse.

* Remove classic Linux analog TV support, and DVB runtime controlswm42019-09-131-2/+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.
* demux, stream: rip out the classic stream cachewm42018-08-311-12/+0
| | | | | | 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.
* vd_lavc: move hwdec opts to local config, don't use global MPOptswm42018-05-241-7/+0
| | | | | | | The --hwdec* options are a good fit for the vd_lavc local option struct. This annoyingly requires manual prefixing of most of these options with --vd-lavc (could be avoided by using more sub-struct craziness, but let's not).
* ao: use a local option structwm42018-05-241-4/+1
| | | | Instead of accessing MPOpts.
* player: make playback termination asynchronouswm42018-05-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* options: remove broken --video-stereo-mode optionwm42018-04-291-1/+0
| | | | | See changelog for minor explanation. Basically, 3D is unused crap and nobody cares.
* vaapi: add option to select a non-default device pathRostislav Pehlivanov2018-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | On machines with multiple GPUs, /dev/dri/renderD128 isn't guaranteed to point to a valid vaapi device. This just adds the option to specify what path to use. The old fallback /dev/dri/card0 is gone but that's not a loss as its a legacy interface no longer accepted as valid by libva. Fixes #4320
* vo: move display-fps internal option value to VO optswm42018-03-151-1/+1
| | | | | | Removes the awkward notification through VO_EVENT_WIN_STATE. Unfortunately, some awkwardness remains in mp_property_display_fps(), because the property has conflicting semantics with the option.
* video: add an option to tune waiting for video timingwm42018-03-151-0/+2
| | | | Probably mostly useful for the libmpv render API.
* video: add option to reduce latency by 1 or 2 frameswm42018-03-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The playback start logic explicitly waits until the first frame has been displayed. Usually this will introduce a wait of 1 vsync. For normal playback this doesn't matter, but with respect to low latency needs, this only leads to additional data getting queued up in the demuxer or network buffers. Another thing is that the timing logic decodes 1 frame ahead (= 1 frame extra latency) to determine the exact duration of a frame. To be fair, there doesn't really seem to be a hard reason why this is needed. With the current code, enabling the option does lead to A/V desync sometimes (if the demuxer FPS is too inaccurate), and also frame drops at playback start in some situations. But this all seems to be avoidable, if the timing logic were to be rewritten completely, which should probably happen in the future. Thus the new option comes with the warning that it can be removed any time. This is also why the option has "hack" in the name.

| | | | Use the new filtering code for audio too.
* video: rewrite filtering glue codewm42018-01-301-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of the old vf.c code. Replace it with a generic filtering framework, which can potentially handle more than just --vf. At least reimplementing --af with this code is planned. This changes some --vf semantics (including runtime behavior and the "vf" command). The most important ones are listed in interface-changes. vf_convert.c is renamed to f_swscale.c. It is now an internal filter that can not be inserted by the user manually. f_lavfi.c is a refactor of player/lavfi.c. The latter will be removed once --lavfi-complex is reimplemented on top of f_lavfi.c. (which is conceptually easy, but a big mess due to the data flow changes). The existing filters are all changed heavily. The data flow of the new filter framework is different. Especially EOF handling changes - EOF is now a "frame" rather than a state, and must be passed through exactly once. Another major thing is that all filters must support dynamic format changes. The filter reconfig() function goes away. (This sounds complex, but since all filters need to handle EOF draining anyway, they can use the same code, and it removes the mess with reconfig() having to predict the output format, which completely breaks with libavfilter anyway.) In addition, there is no automatic format negotiation or conversion. libavfilter's primitive and insufficient API simply doesn't allow us to do this in a reasonable way. Instead, filters can use f_autoconvert as sub-filter, and tell it which formats they support. This filter will in turn add actual conversion filters, such as f_swscale, to perform necessary format changes. vf_vapoursynth.c uses the same basic principle of operation as before, but with worryingly different details in data flow. Still appears to work. The hardware deint filters (vf_vavpp.c, vf_d3d11vpp.c, vf_vdpaupp.c) are heavily changed. Fortunately, they all used refqueue.c, which is for sharing the data flow logic (especially for managing future/past surfaces and such). It turns out it can be used to factor out most of the data flow. Some of these filters accepted software input. Instead of having ad-hoc upload code in each filter, surface upload is now delegated to f_autoconvert, which can use f_hwupload to perform this. Exporting VO capabilities is still a big mess (mp_stream_info stuff). The D3D11 code drops the redundant image formats, and all code uses the hw_subfmt (sw_format in FFmpeg) instead. Although that too seems to be a big mess for now. f_async_queue is unused.
* command: add --osd-on-seek option defaulting to barKevin Mitchell2018-01-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Restores behaviour prior to aef2ed5dc13e37dec0670c451b4369b151d5c65f. That change was apparently unpopular. However, given the amount of complaining over how hard it is to change the defaults by rebinding every key, I think the extra option introduced by this commit is justified. Technically not all behaviour is restored, because now --no-osd-bar will not instead display the msg text on seek. I think that feature was a little weird and is now easy enough to remedy with the --osd-on-seek option.
