* OSX: run native event loop in a separate threadStefano Pigozzi2013-05-121-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit is a followup on the previous one and uses a solution I like more since it totally decouples the Cocoa code from mpv's core and tries to emulate a generic Cocoa application's lifecycle as much as possible without fighting the framework. mpv's main is executed in a pthread while the main thread runs the native cocoa event loop. All of the thread safety is mainly accomplished with additional logic in cocoa_common as to not increase complexity on the crossplatform parts of the code.
* OSX: use native Cocoa's event loopStefano Pigozzi2013-05-121-0/+40
Schedule mpv's playloop as a high frequency timer inside the main Cocoa event loop. This has the benefit to allow accessing menus as well as resizing the window without the playback being blocked and allows to remove countless hacks from the code that involved manually pumping the event loop as well simulating manually some of the Cocoa default behaviours. A huge improvement consists in removing NSApplicationLoad. This is a C function defined in the Cocoa header and implements a minimal OSX application under ther hood so that you can use the Cocoa GUI toolkit from C/C++ without having to respect the Cocoa standards in terms of application initialization. This was bad because the behaviour implemented by NSApplicationLoad was hard to customize and had several gotchas especially in the menu department. mpv was changed to be just a nib-less application. All the Cocoa part is still generated in code but the event handling is now not dissimilar to what is present in a stock Mac application. As a part of reviewing the initialization process, I also removed all of `osdep/macosx_finder_args`. The useful parts of the code were moved to `osdep/macosx_appication` which has the broaded responsibility of managing the full lifecycle of the Cocoa application. By consequence the `--enable-macosx-finder` configure switch was killed as well, as this feature is always enabled. Another change the users will notice is that when using a bundle the `--quiet` option will be inserted much earlier in the initializaion process. This results in mpv not spamming mpv.log anymore with all the initialization outputs.
