* demux: redo timed metadatawm42019-09-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old implementation didn't work for the OGG case. Discard the old shit code (instead of fixing it), and write new shit code. The old code was already over a year old, so it's about time to rewrite it for no reason anyway. While it's true that the old code appears to be broken, the main reason to rewrite this is to make it simpler. While the amount of code seems to be about the same, both the concept and the actual tag handling are simpler. The result is probably a bit more correct. The packet struct shrinks by 8 byte. That fact that it wasted 8 bytes per packet for a rather obscure use case was the reason I started this at all (and when I found that OGG updates didn't work). While these 8 bytes aren't going to hurt, the packet struct was getting too bloated. If you buffer a lot of data, these extra fields will add up. Still quite some effort for 8 bytes. Fortunately, it's not like there are any managers that need to be convinced whether it's worth doing. The freedom to waste time on dumb shit. The old implementation attached the current metadata to each packet. When the decoder read the packet, the packet's metadata was made current. The new implementation stores metadata as separate list, and requires that the player frontend tells it the current playback time, which will be used to find the currently valid metadata. In both cases, the objective was to correctly update metadata even if a lot of data is buffered ahead (and to update them correctly when seeking within the demuxer cache). The new implementation is actually slightly more correct, because it uses the playback time for the metadata lookup. Consider if you have an audio filter which buffers 15 seconds (unfortunately such a filter exists), then the old code would update the current title 15 seconds too early, while the new one does it correctly. The new code also simplifies mixing the 3 metadata sources (global, per stream, ICY). We assume these aren't mixed in a meaningful way. The old code tried to be a bit more "exact". I didn't bother to look how the old code did this, but the new code simply always "merges" with the previous metadata, so if a newer tag removes a field, it's going to stick around anyway. I tried to keep it simple. Other approaches include making metadata a special sh_stream with metadata packets. This would have been conceptually clean, but the implementation would probably have been unnatural (and doesn't match well with libavformat's API anyway). It would have been nice to make the metadata updates chapter points (makes a lot of sense for the intended use case, web radio current song information), but I don't think it would have been a good idea to make chapters suddenly so dynamic. (Still an idea to keep in mind; the new code actually makes it easier to work towards this.) You could mention how subtitles are timed metadata, and actually are implemented as sparse packet streams in some formats. mp4 implements chapters as special subtitle stream, AFAIK. (Ironically, this is very not-ideal for files. It would be useful for streaming like web radio, but mp4 is extremely bad for streaming by design for other reasons.) bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
* demux: really disable cache for sub-demuxerswm42019-09-191-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems the so called demuxer cache wasn't really disabled for sub-demuxers (timeline stuff). This was relatively harmless, since the actual packet data was shared anyway via refcounting. But with the addition of a mmap cache backend, this may change a lot. So strictly disable any caching for sub-demuxers. This assumes that users of sub-demuxers (only demux_timeline.c by now?) strictly use demux_read_any_packet(), since demux_read_packet_async() will require some minor read-ahead if a low level packet read returned a packet for a different stream. This requires some awkward messing with this fucking heap of trash. The thing that is really wrong here is that the demuxer API mixes different concepts, and sub-demuxers get the same API as decoders, and use the cache code.
* player: fix --loop with backward playbackwm42019-09-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Obviously should seek back to the end of the file when it loops. Also remove some minor code duplication around start times. This isn't the correct solution by the way. Rather than hoping we know a reasonable start/end time, this stuff should instruct the demuxer to seek to the exact location. It'll work with 99% of all normal files, but add an appropriate comment (that basically says the function is bullshit) to get_start_time() anyway.
* player: modify/simplify AB-loop behaviorwm42019-09-191-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the behavior of the --ab-loop-a/b options. In addition, it makes it work with backward playback mode. The most obvious change is that the both the A and B point need to be set now before any looping happens. Unlike before, unset points don't implicitly use the start or end of the file. I think the old behavior was a feature that was explicitly added/wanted. Well, it's gone now. This is because of 2 reasons: 1. I never liked this feature, and it always got in my way (as user). 2. It's inherently annoying with backward playback mode. In backward playback mode, the user wants to set A/B in the wrong order. The ab-loop command will first set A, then B, so if you use this command during backward playback, A will be set to a higher timestamps than B. If you switch back to forward playback mode, the loop would stop working. I want the loop to just continue to work, and the chosen solution conflicts with the removed feature. The order issue above _could_ be fixed by also switching the AB-loop user option values around on direction switch. But there are no other instances of option changes magically affecting other options, and doing this would probably lead to unexpected misery (dying from corner cases and such). Another solution is sorting the A/B points by timestamps after copying them from the user options. Then A/B options set in backward mode will work in forward mode. This is the chosen solution. If you sort the points, you don't know anymore whether the unset point is supposed to signify the end or the start of the file. The AB-loop code is slightly better abstracted now, so it should be easy to restore the removed feature. It would still require coming up with a solution for backwards playback, though. A minor change is that if one point is set and the other is unset, I'm rendering both the chapter markers and the marker for the set point. Why? I don't know. My test file had chapters, and I guess I decided this looked better. This commit also fixes some subtle and obvious issues that I already forgot about when I wrote this commit message. It cleans up some minor code duplication and nonsense too. Regarding backward playback, the code uses an unsanitary mix of internal ("transformed") and user timestamps. So the play_dir variable appears more than usual. To mention one unfixed issue: if you set an AB-loop that is completely past the end of the file, it will get stuck in an infinite seeking loop once playback reaches the end of the file. Fixing this reliably seemed annoying, so the fix is "just don't do this". It's not a hard freeze anyway.
* player: simplify/fix --start/--end handling with --rebase-start-time=nowm42019-09-191-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The get_play_start_pts() function was supposed to return "rebased" (relative to 0) timestamps. This was roundabout, because one of 2 callers just added the offset back, and the other caller actually expected an absolute timestamp. Change rel_time_to_abs() (whose return value get_play_start_pts() returns without further changes) to return absolute times. This should fix that absolute and relative times passed to --start and --end were treated the same, which can't be right. It probably also fixes --end if --rebase-start-time=no is used (which can't have been correct either). All in all I'm not sure why --rebase-start-time=no or absolute vs. relative times in --start/--end even exist, when they were incorrectly implemented for years. Untested, because no sample file and I don't care. However, if anyone cares, and I got it wrong, I hope it's simple to fix.
* Implement backwards playbackwm42019-09-191-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* player: don't print "Playing:" message if there's only 1 filewm42019-09-191-1/+4
| | | | | | | | This is just redundant and slightly annoying, at least for normal command line usage. If there are multiple entries, still print it (because you want to know where you are). Also still print it if the player was redirected (because you want to know where you got redirected to).

* loadfile, ytdl_hook: don't reject EDL-resolved URLs through playlistwm42019-09-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ytdl wrapper can resolve web links to playlists. This playlist is passed as big memory:// blob, and will contain further quite normal web links. When playback of one of these playlist entries starts, ytdl is called again and will resolve the web link to a media URL again. This didn't work if playlist entries resolved to EDL URLs. Playback was rejected with a "potentially unsafe URL from playlist" error. This was completely weird and unexpected: using the playlist entry directly on the command line worked fine, and there isn't a reason why it should be different for a playlist entry (both are resolved by the ytdl wrapper anyway). Also, if the only EDL URL was added via audio-add or sub-add, the URL was accessed successfully. The reason this happened is because the playlist entries were marked as STREAM_SAFE_ONLY, and edl:// is not marked as "safe". Playlist entries passed via command line directly are not marked, so resolving them to EDL worked. Fix this by making the ytdl hook set load-unsafe-playlists while the playlist is parsed. (After the playlist is parsed, and before the first playlist entry is played, file-local options are reset again.) Further, extend the load-unsafe-playlists option so that the playlist entries are not marked while the playlist is loaded. Since playlist entries are already verified, this should change nothing about the actual security situation. There are now 2 locations which check load_unsafe_playlists. The old one is a bit redundant now. In theory, the playlist loading code might not be the only code which sets these flags, so keeping the old code is somewhat justified (and in any case it doesn't hurt to keep it). In general, the security concept sucks (and always did). I can for example not answer the question whether you can "break" this mechanism with various combinations of archives, EDL files, playlists files, compromised sites, and so on. You probably can, and I'm fully aware that it's probably possible, so don't blame me.
* stream_libarchive: remove base filename stuffwm42019-09-191-8/+1
| | | | | | | | Apparently this was so that when playing a video file from a .rar file, it would load external subtitles with the same name (instead of looking for mpv's rar:// mangled URL). This was requested on github almost 5 years ago. Seems like a weird feature, and I don't care. Drop it, because it complicates some in progress change.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As stated in the original commit message, if the demuxer set the start time to the first subtitle packet, the subtitles would be shifted incorrectly. It appears that it is the case for external PGS subtitles. This reverts commit 520fc7403621156676b1ca183aed4911bf6c47b5. Fixes #5485

| * player: make playback termination asynchronouswm42018-05-241-20/+107
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
| * player: change the role of the "stop_play" and "playing" variablewm42018-05-241-11/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this, mpctx->playing was often used to determine whether certain new state could be added to the playback state. In particular this affected external files (which added tracks and demuxers). The variable was checked to prevent that they were added before the corresponding uninit code. We want to make a small part of uninit asynchronous, but mpctx->playing needs to stay in the place where it is. It can't be used for this purpose anymore. Use mpctx->stop_play instead. Make it never have the value 0 outside of loading/playback. On unloading, it obviously has to be non-0. Change some other code in playloop.c to use this, because it seems slightly more correct. But mostly this is preparation for the following commit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alway give each demuxer its own mp_cancel instance. This makes management of the mp_cancel things much easier. Also, instead of having add/remove functions for mp_cancel slaves, replace them with a simpler to use set_parent function. Remove cancel_and_free_demuxer(), which had mpctx as parameter only to check an assumption. With this commit, demuxers have their own mp_cancel, so add demux_cancel_and_free() which makes use of it.

| * player: simplify edition switchingwm42018-05-241-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The player fully restarts playback when the edition or disk title is changed. Before this, the player tried to reinitialized playback partially. For example, it did not print a new "Playing: <file>" message, and did not send playback end to libmpv users (scripts or applications). This playback restart code was a bit messy and could have unforeseen interactions with various state. There have been bugs before. Since it's a mostly cosmetic thing for an obscure feature, just change it to a full restart. This works well, though since it may have consequences for scripts or client API users, mention it in interface-changes.rst.
| * player: make various commands for managing external tracks abortablewm42018-05-241-47/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, they could be aborted only by ending playback, and calling mpv_abort_async_command didn't do anything. This requires furthering the mess how playback abort is done. The main reason why mp_cancel exists at all is to avoid that a "frozen" demuxer (blocked on network I/O or whatever) cannot freeze the core. The core should always get its way. Previously, there was a single mp_cancel handle, that could be signaled, and all demuxers would unfreeze. With external files, we might want to abort loading of a certain external file, which automatically means they need a separate mp_cancel. So give every demuxer its own mp_cancel, and "slave" it to whatever parent mp_cancel handles aborting. Since the mpv demuxer API conflates creating the demuxer and reading the file headers, mp_cancel strictly need to be created before the demuxer is created (or we couldn't abort loading). Although we give every demuxer its own mp_cancel (as "enforced" by cancel_and_free_demuxer), it's still rather messy to create/destroy it along with the demuxer.
| * player: don't reset last_seek_pts on playback state resetwm42018-05-241-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is nonsense. Didn't matter in most situations, because seeking itself set this after it was cleared. But some callers don't do this, see e.g. commit ed73ba89644fc6. There is no need to clear it at all, and it causes issues with the next commit. It only needs to be reset on loading. Also move the initialization on loading up, which doesn't change behavior, but makes the intention clearer.
| * client API: kill async commands on terminationwm42018-05-241-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
