* client API: copy instead of move old value on async pathwm42019-10-251-4/+1
| | | | | | | | In theory, it's better to keep the old value, because that's more consistent with the logic of using change timestamps. With the current code, the old value will probably never be used (instead it will fetch a new value on every change), so this shouldn't make a difference in practice.
* client API: add async path; fix deadlock for vo_libmpv userswm42019-10-251-9/+95
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 065c307e8e7db, I broke everything. It seemed like a nice idea, but it explicitly broke an assumption vo_libmpv were explicitly allowed to make: that observing properties does not lock the core. The commit did just that and locked the core for property updates. This made for example mpv's own OSX backend freeze (it uses vo_libmpv for convenience to make up for Apple's incredibly broken OpenGL shit). I don't want to revert that commit just because vo_libmpv's design is horrible. So instead add an optional asynchronous path, that is only used if vo_libmpv is in use (best idea ever?). Interestingly, this isn't so hard. It adds about 90 lines of code, which are only run on OSX and libmpv users, so I don't have to care about the crashes and weird behavior this might cause. It even worked on the first try except for a quickly fixed memory leak. The code path can be tested anywhere by just turning the uses_vo_libmpv condition into always true. The atomic is out of laziness. Saves some thinking how to get around the locking order.
* client API: avoid lost wakeupswm42019-10-241-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | The commit linked below added temporary unlocking to update_prop(), which is indirectly called by mpv_wait_event(). If an unlock happens, and no property change event is returned, we must re-poll the event queue. Rechecking the state on unlocks is basically a standard requirement for code using condition variables. Untested beyond a simple test. Fixes: 065c307e8e7dbf
* client API: simplify (?) property change notification generationwm42019-10-241-75/+79
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Property change notification works by having the mpv core wake up all clients observing a property when the property potentially changes. The clients then read the property's value, and determine if there was an actual change. (The latter part depends what the property returned for the previous change notification, so it depends on the client, and cannot be generated by the core itself.) Until now, reading the property value was done in a pseudo-async way by queuing a callback back to the core, running it there, and then waking up the client thread again. I cannot comprehend why this was done in such a complicated, fragile way. Maybe it's a leftover from times when client.c had to do this (in short, because properties could access vo_opengl, which has thread-local state). One past idea was to make the implementation of true async properties easier (for which you would need such a state machine anyway). But they don't exist yet, and I doubt the current mess would be really helpful when actually implementing them. Simplify this, and run the update in the client's thread directly. In addition to the fundamental change, many roundabout things can be removed as a consequence. Unfortunately, I noticed that lock order issues force you to release ctx->lock before doing so, which makes things more complex due to possible concurrent mpv_unobserve_property() calls. Solve this by removing properties lazily, which means you may have to do multiple mpv_wait_event() calls before the property entry is actually destroyed. This should not matter in practice, and does not affect the semantics. It could also cause "leaks" by observing/unobserving properties in a loop, without ever calling mpv_wait_event(). Just don't do this, duh. (I considered making this dependent on whether the previous mpv_wait_event() call returned the property being removed, but a separate code path seemed too complicated. I also considered copying the name and property data when returning a MPV_EVENT_PROPERTY_CHANGE, but actually this doesn't solve the problem of update_prop() being interrupted by mpv_unobserve_property(); there are ways around it, but I just said no.) This was made using the cowboy coding software engineering methodology. If you find any bugs, keep them yourself.
* client API: move a functionwm42019-10-241-7/+7
| | | | May reduce the diff of the next commit.
* client API: remove unused global event maskwm42019-10-241-35/+0
| | | | | | Apparently this was only added and used for cache update stuff, which was changed in commit 8dbc93a94cdc3c. Now it's unused, messy, ugly, and is in the way, so get rid of it.
* client API: add mpv_command_retDark2019-09-211-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | This change adds a version of `mpv_command` that also returns a result. The main rationale behind this is `mpv_command_node` requires defining multiple structs before you can even use it, which results in a pretty painful to use interface just to get the result from a command. There isn't really a good name for this function, so I'm open to suggestions on a better name for it.
* client API: fix missing property change events after property updatesGunnar Marten2019-09-201-24/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When update_prop() successfully fetched a changed property value, it set prop->changed to true to indicate the success. mark_property_changed() also always set prop->changed to true and additionally prop->need_new_value to true This is the case since 6ac0ef78 If the observed property changes every frame and then due to timing the next mark_property_changed() is called before gen_property_change_event() and therefore directly after update_prop(), prop->need_new_value was again true and indicated that a new value has to be retrieved with update_prop(). As a result the event for the last successful update_prop() was never triggered. This meant that a property change event were never generated for frame-based properties only for properties that were observed with MPV_FORMAT_NONE or when the timing was different and gen_property_change_event() was called after update_prop(). To fix this, mark_property_change() and update_prop() should not use the same flag to indicate different things and therefore a new flag for successfully update a property is introduced. But with the now decoupled property changed and updated the need_new_value flag is redundant and removed completely. Fixes #4195
* render api: fix use-after-freewnoun2019-09-201-19/+3
| | | | | | | | render api needs to wait for vo to be destroyed before frees the context. The purpose of kill_cb is to wake up render api after vo is destroyed, but uninit did that before kill_cb, so kill_cb tries using the freed memory. Remove kill_cb to fix the issue as uninit is able to do the work.

* player: make playback termination asynchronouswm42018-05-241-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* misc: move some helper code from client.cwm42018-05-241-49/+2
| | | | | (Slightly oddly function names, because I want to avoid starting them with mpv_*, which is reserved for public API.)
* client API: kill async commands on terminationwm42018-05-241-13/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | This affects async commands started by client API, commands with async capability run in a sync way by client API (think mpv_command_node() with "subprocess"), and detached async work. Since scripts might want to do some cleanup work (that might involve launching processes, don't ask), we don't unconditionally kill everything on exit, but apply an arbitrary timeout of 2 seconds until async commands are aborted.
* command: add a way to abort asynchronous commandswm42018-05-241-3/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | Many asynchronous commands are potentially long running operations, such as loading something from network or running a foreign process. Obviously it shouldn't just be possible for them to freeze the player if they don't terminate as expected. Also, there will be situations where you want to explicitly stop some of those operations explicitly. So add an infrastructure for this. Commands have to support this explicitly. The next commit uses this to actually add support to a command.
* client API: merge status_reply() helper with only remaining callerwm42018-05-241-12/+5
| | | | | All other callers had to be changed, so there's no point in keeping this helper function around. It's just another unnecessary indirection.
* client API: add returning of data from async commandswm42018-05-241-5/+10
| | | | This was not done sooner out of laziness.
* command: add infrastructure for async commandswm42018-05-241-20/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This enables two types of command behavior: 1. Plain async behavior, like "loadfile" not completing until the file is fully loaded. 2. Running parts of the command on worker threads, e.g. for I/O, such as "sub-add" doing network accesses on a thread while the core continues. Both have no implementation yet, and most new code is actually inactive. The plan is to implement a number of useful cases in the following commits. The most tricky part is handling internal keybindings (input.conf) and the multi-command feature (concatenating commands with ";"). It requires a bunch of roundabout code to make it do the expected thing in combination with async commands. There is the question how commands should be handled that come in at a higher rate than what can be handled by the core. Currently, it will simply queue up input.conf commands as long as memory lasts. The client API is limited by the size of the reply queue per client. For commands which require a worker thread, the thread pool is limited to 30 threads, and then will queue up work in memory. The number is completely arbitrary.
* client: merge can_terminate() functionwm42018-05-241-15/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | This has some tricky interactions. In particular, it requires the core to be locked due to reading outstanding_async, which is documented on the only caller only. It's probably better to merge it with its only caller. The new code should be strictly equivalent, other than the fact that it doesn't temporarily unlock+lock when entering the loop for the first time (which doesn't matter here).
* input: merge cmd_list.c with cmd.cwm42018-05-031-1/+1
| | | | | | It doesn't really make sense to keep a separate cmd_list.c file, which does _not_ contain a command list, but only a few minor helper functions.
* client API: preparations for allowing render API to use DR etc.wm42018-04-291-5/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DR (letting the decoder allocate texture memory) requires running the allocation on the render thread. This is rather hard with the render API, because the user controls this thread and when it's entered. It was not possible until now. This commit adds a bunch of infrastructure to make this possible. We add a new optional mode (MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ADVANCED_CONTROL) which basically lets the user's render thread and libmpv agree how this should be done. Misuse would lead to deadlocks. To make this less likely, strictly document thread safety/locking issues. In particular, document which libmpv functions can be called without issues. (The rest has to be assumed unsafe.) The worst issue is destruction of the render context while video is still active. To avoid certain unintended recursive locks (i.e. deadlocks, unless we'd make the locks recursive), make the update callback lock separate. Make "killing" the video chain asynchronous, so we can do extra work while video is being destroyed. Because losing wakeups is a big deal, setting the update callback now triggers a wakeup. (It would have been better if the wakeup callback were a parameter to mpv_render_context_create(), but too late.) This commit does not add DR yet; the following commit does this.
* client API: make sure to send IDLE event after mpv_initialize()wm42018-04-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | This was slightly broken: since mp_initialize() did not necessarily interrupt core_thread() (which is waiting for initialization), it did not enter mp_play_files(), which would have sent an IDLE event. I suppose that in some cases (like with mpv-android), the initial IDLE event was never actually sent, because the first wakeup of the core thread happens with the "loadfile" command, which will disallow the core thread an IDLE event.
* client API: fix potential sporadic freezes on terminationwm42018-04-161-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although this was never observed to be happening, it seems definitely possible: we first tell the main thread to exit, and then we ask the main thread to do some work for us (with mp_dispatch_run()). Obviously this is racy, and the main thread could exit without doing this, which would block mp_dispatch_run() forever. Fix this by changing the order of operation, so that it makes sense. We could also just store the pthread_t of the main thread in some variable, but the fact that pthread_create() might set the pthread_t argument _after_ starting the thread makes this a bit messy (at least it doesn't seem to be guaranteed on a superficial look at the manpage).
* client API: add a first class hook API, and deprecate old APIwm42018-03-261-2/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it turns out, there are multiple libmpv users who saw a need to use the hook API. The API is kind of shitty and was never meant to be actually public (it was mostly a hack for the ytdl script). Introduce a proper API and deprecate the old one. The old one will probably continue to work for a few releases, but will be removed eventually. There are some slight changes to the old API, but if a user followed the manual properly, it won't break. Mostly untested. Appears to work with ytdl_hook.
* client API: add a new way to pass X11 Display etc. to render APIwm42018-03-261-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hardware decoding things often need access to additional handles from the windowing system, such as the X11 or Wayland display when using vaapi. The opengl-cb had nothing dedicated for this, and used the weird GL_MP_MPGetNativeDisplay GL extension (which was mpv specific and not officially registered with OpenGL). This was awkward, and a pain due to having to emulate GL context behavior (like needing a TLS variable to store context for the pseudo GL extension function). In addition (and not inherently due to this), we could pass only one resource from mpv builtin context backends to hwdecs. It was also all GL specific. Replace this with a newer mechanism. It works for all RA backends, not just GL. the API user can explicitly pass the objects at init time via mpv_render_context_create(). Multiple resources are naturally possible. The API uses MPV_RENDER_PARAM_* defines, but internally we use strings. This is done for 2 reasons: 1. trying to leave libmpv and internal mechanisms decoupled, 2. not having to add public API for some of the internal resource types (especially D3D/GL interop stuff). To remain sane, drop support for obscure half-working opengl-cb things, like the DRM interop (was missing necessary things), the RPI window thing (nobody used it), and obscure D3D interop things (not needed with ANGLE, others were undocumented). In order not to break ABI and the C API, we don't remove the associated structs from opengl_cb.h. The parts which are still needed (in particular DRM interop) needs to be ported to the render API.
* client API: send MPV_EVENT_SHUTDOWN only oncewm42018-03-151-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Before this change, mpv_wait_event() could inconsistently return multiple MPV_EVENT_SHUTDOWN events to a single mpv_handle, up to the point of spamming the event queue under certain circumstances. Change this and just send it exactly once to each mpv_handle. Some client API users might have weird requirements about destroying their state asynchronously (and not reacting immediately to the SHUTDOWN event). This change will help a bit to make this less weird and surprising.
* client API: rename mpv_detach_destroy() to mpv_destroy()wm42018-03-151-1/+6
| | | | | Since this has clearer semantics now, the old name is just clunky and confusing.
* client API: add mpv_create_weak_client()wm42018-03-151-2/+21
|
* client API: cleanup mpv_handle terminationwm42018-03-151-90/+116
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes how mpv_terminate_destroy() and mpv_detach_destroy() behave. The doxygen in client.h tries to point out the differences. The goal is to make this more useful to the API user (making it behave like refcounting). This will be refined in follow up commits. Initialization is unfortunately closely tied to termination, so that changes as well. This also removes earlier hacks that make sure that some parts of FFmpeg initialization are run in the playback thread (instead of the user's thread). This does not matter with standard FFmpeg, and I have no reason to care about this anymore.
* player: move locale check to mp_create()wm42018-03-151-25/+11
| | | | | | The intention is to reduce annoying differences between mpv CLI and libmpv, and there's no reason to have the locale check only in libmpv (although it doesn't help with any real issues either).
* player: shuffle around CLI exit code handlingwm42018-03-151-1/+1
| | | | | Remove the weird prepare_exit_cplayer() function, and fold the contents into mpv_main() and mp_initialize().
* client: remove legacy API that is unused nowAkemi2018-03-041-33/+1
| | | | | | this API was introduced in c5e4538 solely for the use with cocoa-cb and was not public. with the port to the new API in 760d471 it is now unused and can safely be removed.
* client API: deprecate opengl-cb API and introduce a replacement APIwm42018-02-281-21/+143
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of the new API is to make it useable with other APIs than OpenGL, especially D3D11 and vulkan. In theory it's now possible to support other vo_gpu backends, as well as backends that don't use the vo_gpu code at all. This also aims to get rid of the dumb mpv_get_sub_api() function. The life cycle of the new mpv_render_context is a bit different from mpv_opengl_cb_context, and you explicitly create/destroy the new context, instead of calling init/uninit on an object returned by mpv_get_sub_api(). In other to make the render API generic, it's annoyingly EGL style, and requires you to pass in API-specific objects to generic functions. This is to avoid explicit objects like the internal ra API has, because that sounds more complicated and annoying for an API that's supposed to never change. The opengl_cb API will continue to exist for a bit longer, but internally there are already a few tradeoffs, like reduced thread-safety. Mostly untested. Seems to work fine with mpc-qt.
* cocoa-cb: initial implementation via opengl-cb APIAkemi2018-02-121-3/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this is meant to replace the old and not properly working vo_gpu/opengl cocoa backend in the future. the problems are various shortcomings of Apple's opengl implementation and buggy behaviour in certain circumstances that couldn't be properly worked around. there are also certain regressions on newer macOS versions from 10.11 onwards. - awful opengl performance with a none layer backed context - huge amount of dropped frames with an early context flush - flickering of system elements like the dock or volume indicator - double buffering not properly working with a none layer backed context - bad performance in fullscreen because of system optimisations all the problems were caused by using a normal opengl context, that seems somewhat abandoned by apple, and are fixed by using a layer backed opengl context instead. problems that couldn't be fixed could be properly worked around. this has all features our old backend has sans the wid embedding, the possibility to disable the automatic GPU switching and taking screenshots of the window content. the first was deemed unnecessary by me for now, since i just use the libmpv API that others can use anyway. second is technically not possible atm because we have to pre-allocate our opengl context at a time the config isn't read yet, so we can't get the needed property. third one is a bit tricky because of deadlocking and it needed to be in sync, hopefully i can work around that in the future. this also has at least one additional feature or eye-candy. a properly working fullscreen animation with the native fs. also since this is a direct port of the old backend of the parts that could be used, though with adaptions and improvements, this looks a lot cleaner and easier to understand. some credit goes to @pigoz for the initial swift build support which i could improve upon.

* client: Allow "C.UTF-8" as LC_NUMERIC localesfan52017-11-301-1/+1
| | | | | This is required on newer Android NDKs, as setting LC_NUMERIC to "C" will still return "C.UTF-8" if you query it.
* client API: change mpv_create() behavior, run init always on mpv threadwm42017-06-301-16/+24
| | | | | | This takes car eof unsubtle bugs if something at init does not work (specifically if mp_new_client() returns NULL). It also removes the need for that PMP MF hack.
* Fix use of ISC licensewm42017-04-151-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | The license text refers a "above copyright notice", so I guess it'd be good to actually provide such a notice. Add the license to some files that were missing it (since in theory, our Copyright file says that such files are LGPL by default). Remove the questionable remarks about the license in the client API.
* client: call certain external functions outside of client lockwm42017-02-241-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | Fixes theoretical lock-order issues found by Coverity. Calling these inside the log is unnecessary anyway, because they have their own locking, and because mpv_detach_destroy() needs to be called by someone who has exclusive access to the mpv_handle (it's basically a destructor function). The lock order issues comes from the fact that they call back into the client API implementation to broadcast events and such.
* player: restructure cancel callbackwm42017-01-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | As preparation for file prefetching, we basically have to get rid of using mpctx->playback_abort for the main demuxer (i.e. the thing that can be prefetched). It can't be changed on a running demuxer, and always using the same cancel handle would either mean aborting playback would also abort prefetching, or that playback can't be aborted anymore. Make this more flexible with some refactoring. Thi is a quite shitty solution if you ask me, but YOLO.
* scripting: minor logging improvementswm42017-01-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | Give scripting backends a proper name, instead of calling everything "scripts". Log client exit directly in client.c, as that is more general (doesn't change actual output).
* client API: fix freeze when destroying mpv_handle before mpv_initializewm42017-01-121-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | We have to perform some silly acrobatics to make the playback_thread() exit, as the mpv_command() will error out with MPV_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED. Test case: mpv_terminate_destroy(mpv_create()) Reported by a user on IRC.
* client API: handle missing MPV_FORMAT_BYTE_ARRAY case in compare_valuewm42017-01-091-0/+6
| | | | | | Since there's no property yet that uses this type, and the code is used for property change detection only. this is dead code. Add it anyway for completeness.
* client API: fix mpv_set_property() return value before initwm42017-01-041-0/+1
