* m_config: further minor simplificationswm42019-09-191-35/+26
| | | | | Now m_config_shadow is fully independent from m_config (except for the fact that m_config is still involved in its creation).
* m_config: simplify some minor crapwm42019-09-191-24/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | m_config has a m_config_option array, that is used for all option access. The code maintaining shadow copies also tried to make use of it, and did so by "cleverly" assigning each m_sub_options run a slice of that array. But actually it's much simpler to, you know, directly access the damn options. This helps separation m_config and the general option code slightly. Still seems to work after a superficial test, good enough.
* m_config: move group list to internal contextwm42019-09-192-42/+53
| | | | | | | | | | This is good because a private thing is not so public anymore, and it's also preparation for further changes. Some tricky memory management issues: m_config_data (i.e. config->data) now depends on m_config_shadow, instead of m_config. In particular, free_option_data() accesses the m_config_shadow.groups array. Obviously it must be freed before m_config_shadow.
* m_config: add/move some commentswm42019-09-192-21/+33
| | | | | | | Move the comments documenting exported functions to the header. It looks like the header is the preferred place for that (although I don't really appreciate headers where you lose the overview because of all the documentation comments). Add comments to some undocumented prototypes.
* m_config: remove an unused functionwm42019-09-192-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | This was one of those "shouldn't exist" type of functions that could access internals that were supposed to be isolated away, but some code needed to access it anyway. It looks like the last use of it went away in 2016, shortly after it was introduced.

* m_config: add an assert for a theoretical issuewm42019-09-191-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Or at least I hope it's theoretical. This function is supposed to unset any old listeners for the given cache, and the code works only if there's at most 1. Add a defense break to avoid UB if there's more than one, and add an assert() to check the assumption that there's at most one. The added comment is unrelated.
* aspect: add video margin optionswm42019-09-192-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 cachewm42019-09-192-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* m_option: add "B" suffix to human-readable byte numberswm42019-09-191-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | The conversion to string as the pretty printer returns it is sometimes used on OSD. I think it's pretty odd that quantities below 1 KB are shown as number without suffix. So use "B" for them. For orthogonality, allow the same for parsing. (Although strictly speaking, this is not a requirement of the option API. Option parsers don't need to accept pretty-printed strings.)
* options: rename --play-direction to --play-dirwm42019-09-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | And add simpler aliases for the modes. I'm not sure how to name things, and the option list is in general full of different conventions. Some names are shortened, some are explicit and long. I guess options that have a chance to be used normally (i.e. not obscure tuning or debugging) should have a short and convenient names. In this specific case, play-direction is like a mixture of both. It should be either playback-direction or play-dir, not shorten one word but not the other. The convenience aliases are because I got sick of typing out "backward". I guess "back" would also do it, but there's no proper antonym (and maybe it's "wrong" in the strict sense of the word).
* options: remove --chapterwm42019-09-192-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | 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 playbackwm42019-09-192-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 controlswm42019-09-132-5/+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.
* Remove optical disc fancification layerswm42019-09-131-35/+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 libdvdnavwm42019-09-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * m_config: fix build with emulated stdatomicwm42018-05-241-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | C11 can access atomic variables normally (in which case they use the strictest memory access semantics). But the mpv stdatomic wrapper for C99 compilers does not allow it, because it couldn't give any guarantees. This means we always need to access them with atomic macros. While we're at, use relaxed semantics for the m_config_cache field, since because it's accessed from a single thread only (essentially used in a non-atomic way). Switch the comparison arguments to make the formatting look slightly less weird.
| * m_config: make m_config_cache_update() return more fine grainedwm42018-05-241-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although the new code actually fires update notifications only when needed, m_config_cache_update() itself returned a rather coarse change value, which could indicate change even if none of the cached options were changed. On top of that, some code (like vo_gpu) calls the update function on every frame, which would reconfigure the renderer even on unrelated option changes.
| * player: get rid of mpv_global.optswm42018-05-242-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was always a legacy thing. Remove it by applying an orgy of mp_get_config_group() calls, and sometimes m_config_cache_alloc() or mp_read_option_raw(). win32 changes untested.
| * vd_lavc: move hwdec opts to local config, don't use global MPOptswm42018-05-242-16/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).
| * path: don't access global option structwm42018-05-242-7/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The path functions need to access the option that forces non-default config directories. Just add it as a field to mpv_global - it seems justified. The accessed options were always enforced as immutable after init, so there's not much of a change.
| * m_config: add a special define to access main configwm42018-05-241-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Passing NULL to mp_get_config_group() returns the main option struct. This is just a dumb hack to deal with inconsistencies caused by legacy things (as I'll claim), and will probably be changed in the future. So before littering the whole code base with hard to find NULL parameters, require using callers an easy to find separate define.
| * ao: use a local option structwm42018-05-242-14/+4
| | | | | | | | Instead of accessing MPOpts.
| * m_config: optimize initialization of each optionwm42018-05-241-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Options with dynamic memory allocations (such as strings) require some care. They need to be fully copied on initialization, and if a static default value was declared, we must not free that value either. Instead of going through the entire thing even for simple types like integers, really run it only for options with dynamic allocations. To distinguish types which use dynamic allocations, we can use the fact that they require a free callback (otherwise they would leak). As a result initialization of simple types becomes chaper, and the init function does nothing at all if src==dst for a simple type. (It's funny how mplayer had M_OPT_TYPE_DYNAMIC since 2002, until we replaced it by the same heuristic as used here in commit 3bb134969eb6. It's also funny how the new check was used only for some asserts, and finally removed in commit 7539928c1c. I guess at this time I felt like having uniform code was more important than pointless micro-optimizations.) The src==NULL case is removed because it can't happen.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Actually rewrite most of the option management code. This affects how options are allocated, and how thread-safe access to them is done. One thing that is nicer is that creating m_config_cache does not need to ridiculously recreate and store the entire option list again. Instead, option metadata and option storage are now separated. m_config contains the metadata, and m_config_data all or parts of the actual option values. (m_config_cache simply uses the metadata part of m_config, which is immutable after creation.) The mentioned hack was introduced in commit 1a2319f3e4cc4, and is the global state around g_group_mutex. Although it was "benign" global state, it's good that it's finally removed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some reason shadow_offset is a int16_t variable (to save some space or something), which means the static part of the entire option list must be below 32KB. This is fine, but still add a check against overflows. (Currently it's 3.6KB. This does not include dynamic allocations like strings.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
