* Add more constwm42014-06-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations (it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only when we really need.
* stream: remove chaos related to writeable streamswm42014-05-241-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | For some reason, we support writeable streams. (Only encoding uses that, and the use of it looks messy enough that I want to replace it with FILE or avio today.) It's a chaos: most streams do not actually check the mode parameter like they should. Simplify it, and let streams signal availability of write mode by setting a flag in the stream info struct.
* stream: fix url_options field, make protocols field not fixed lengthwm42013-08-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The way the url_options field was handled was not entirely sane: it's actually a flexible array member, so it points to garbage for streams which do not initialize this member (it just points to the data right after the struct, which is garbage in theory and practice). This was not actually a problem, since the field is only used if priv_size is set (due to how this stuff is used). But it doesn't allow setting priv_size only, which might be useful in some cases. Also, make the protocols array not a fixed size array. Most stream implementations have only 1 protocol prefix, but stream_lavf.c has over 10 (whitelists ffmpeg protocols). The high size of the fixed size protocol array wastes space, and it is _still_ annoying to add new prefixes to stream_lavf (have to bump the maximum length), so make it arbitrary length. The two changes (plus some more cosmetic changes) arte conflated into one, because it was annoying going over all the stream implementations.
* stream_avdevice: remove redundant dummy callbackwm42013-08-221-6/+0

* stream: redo URL parsing, replace m_struct usage with m_configwm42013-08-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the URL parsing code from m_option.c to stream.c, and simplify it dramatically. This code originates from times when http code used this, but now it's just relict from other stream implementations reusing this code. Remove the unused bits and simplify the rest. stream_vcd is insane, and the priv struct is different on every platform, so drop the URL parsing. This means you can't specify a track anymore, only the device. (Does anyone use stream_vcd? Not like this couldn't be fixed, but it doesn't seem worth the effort, especially because it'd require potentially touching platform specific code.)
* stream: remove useless author/comment fieldswm42013-07-121-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | These were printed only with -v. Most streams had them set to useless or redundant values, so it's just badly maintained bloat. Since we remove the "author" field too, and since this may have copyright implications, we add the contents of the author fields to the file headers, except if the name is already part of the file header.

* core: change open_stream and demux_open signaturewm42013-07-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | This removes the dependency on DEMUXER_TYPE_* and the file_format parameter from the stream open functions. Remove some of the playlist handling code. It looks like this was needed only for loading linked mov files with demux_mov (which was removed long ago). Delete a minor bit of dead network-related code from stream.c as well.
* demux_lavf: add support for libavdevicewm42012-12-031-0/+49
libavdevice supports various "special" video and audio inputs, such as screen-capture or libavfilter filter graphs. libavdevice inputs are implemented as demuxers. They don't use the custom stream callbacks (in AVFormatContext.pb). Instead, input parameters are passed as filename. This means the mpv stream layer has to be disabled. Do this by adding the pseudo stream handler avdevice://, whose only purpose is passing the filename to demux_lavf, without actually doing anything. Change the logic how the filename is passed to libavformat. Remove handling of the filename from demux_open_lavf() and move it to lavf_check_file(). (This also fixes a possible bug when skipping the "lavf://" prefix.) libavdevice now can be invoked by specifying demuxer and args as in: mpv avdevice://demuxer:args The args are passed as filename to libavformat. When using libavdevice demuxers, their actual meaning is highly implementation specific. They don't refer to actual filenames. Note: libavdevice is disabled by default. There is one problem: libavdevice pulls in libavfilter, which in turn causes symbol clashes with mpv internals. The problem is that libavfilter includes a mplayer filter bridge, which is used to interface with a set of nearly unmodified mplayer filters copied into libavfilter. This filter bridge uses the same symbol names as mplayer/mpv's filter chain, which results in symbol clashes at link-time. This can be prevented by building ffmpeg with --disable-filter=mp, but unfortunately this is not the default. This means linking to libavdevice (which in turn forces linking with libavfilter by default) must be disabled. We try doing this by compiling a test file that defines one of the clashing symbols (vf_mpi_clear). To enable libavdevice input, ffmpeg should be built with the options: --disable-filter=mp and mpv with: --enable-libavdevice Originally, I tried to auto-detect it. But the resulting complications in configure did't seem worth the trouble.
