* video, audio: always read all frames before getting next packetwm42018-01-011-2/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old code tried to make sure at all times to try to read a new packet. Only once that was read, it tried to retrieve new video or audio frames the decoder might already have decoded. Change this to strictly read frames from the decoder until it signals that it wants a new packet, and only then read and feed a new packet. This is in theory nicer, follows the libavcodec recommended data flow, and and reduces the minimum latency by 1 frame. This merely requires switching the order in which those calls are done. Normally, the decoder will return only 1 frame until a new packet is required. If we would just feed it 1 packet, return DATA_AGAIN, and wait until the next frame is decoded, we would run the playloop 1 time too often for no reason (which is fine but might have some overhead). To avoid this, try to read a frame again after possibly feeding a packet. For this reason, move the feed/read code to its own functions each, instead of merely moving the code. The audio and video code for this particular thing is basically duplicated. The idea is to unify them one day, so make the change to both. (Doing this for video is the real motivation for this change, see below.) The video code change is slightly more complicated, because we have to care about the framedrop counting (which is just a heuristic, but for now considered better than nothing, and possibly considered required to warn the user of framedrops happening - maybe). Apparently this change helps with stalling streams on Android with the mediacodec wrapper and mpeg2 decoder implementations which deinterlace on decoding (and return 2 frames per packet). Based on an idea and observations by tmm1.
* vd_lavc: move display mastering data stuff to mp_imagewm42017-10-301-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | This is where it should be. It only wasn't because of an old libavcodec bug, that returned the side data only on every IDR. This required some sort of caching, which is now dropped. (mp_image wouldn't have been able to do this kind of caching, because this code is stateless.) We don't support these old libavcodec versions anymore, which is why this is not needed anymore. Also move initialization of rotation/stereo stuff to dec_video.c.
* demux: get rid of demux_packet.new_segment fieldwm42017-10-241-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new_segment field was used to track the decoder data flow handler of timeline boundaries, which are used for ordered chapters etc. (anything that sets demuxer_desc.load_timeline). This broke seeking with the demuxer cache enabled. The demuxer is expected to set the new_segment field after every seek or segment boundary switch, so the cached packets basically contained incorrect values for this, and the decoders were not initialized correctly. Fix this by getting rid of the flag completely. Let the decoders instead compare the segment information by content, which is hopefully enough. (In theory, two segments with same information could perhaps appear in broken-ish corner cases, or in an attempt to simulate looping, and such. I preferred the simple solution over others, such as generating unique and stable segment IDs.) We still add a "segmented" field to make it explicit whether segments are used, instead of doing something silly like testing arbitrary other segment fields for validity. Cached seeking with timeline stuff is still slightly broken even with this commit: the seek logic is not aware of the overlap that segments can have, and the timestamp clamping that needs to be performed in theory to account for the fact that a packet might contain a frame that is always clipped off by segment handling. This can be fixed later.
* build: add preliminary LGPL modewm42017-09-211-9/+7
| | | | | | | See "Copyright" file for caveats. This changes the remaining "almost LGPL" files to LGPL, because we think that the conditions the author set for these was finally fulfilled.
* video: add metadata handling for spherical videowm42017-08-211-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds handling of spherical video metadata: retrieving it from demux_lavf and demux_mkv, passing it through filters, and adjusting it with vf_format. This does not include support for rendering this type of video. We don't expect we need/want to support the other projection types like cube maps, so we don't include that for now. They can be added later as needed. Also raise the maximum sizes of stringified image params, since they can get really long.
* options: --priority can be LGPLwm42017-08-031-2/+0
| | | | | | | Original author has agreed now. Also fix the notice in dec_video.c - all GPL-only code is gone (unrelated to --priority/its author).
* options: drop --video-aspect-method=hybridwm42017-07-211-28/+3
| | | | | | | | | Remove this code because it could be argued that it contains GPL-only code (see commit 642e963c860 for details). The remaining aspect methods appear to work just as well, are potentially more compatible to other players, and the code becomes much simpler.
* options: kill --field-dominancewm42017-07-211-9/+0
| | | | GPL-only author, no chance of relicensing.
* vd: use ST.2086 / HDR10 MaxCLL in addition to mastering metadataNiklas Haas2017-06-181-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | MaxCLL is the more authoritative source for the metadata we are interested in. The use of mastering metadata is sort of a hack anyway, since there's no clearly-defined relationship between the mastering peak brightness and the actual content. (Unlike MaxCLL, which is an explicit relationship) Also move the parameter fixing to `fix_image_params` I don't know if the avutil check is strictly necessary but I've included it anyway to be on the safe side.
* dec_video: change license to LGPL (almost)wm42017-06-181-1/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Almost" because this might contain copyright by michael, who agreed with LGPL, but only once the core is LGPL. This is preparation for that to happen. Apart from that, the usual remarks apply. In particular, dec_video.c started out quite chaotic with no modularization, but was later basically gutted, and in general rewritten a bunch of times. Not going to give a history lesson. Special attention needs to be given to 3 patches by cehosos, who did not agree to the relicensing: 240b743ebdf: --field-dominance e32cbbf7dc3: reinit VO if aspect ratio changes 306f6243fdf: use container aspect if codec aspect unset (?) The first patch is pretty clearly still in the current code, and needs to be disabled for LGPL. The functionality of the second patch is still active, but implemented completely different, and as part of general frame parameter changes (at the time of the patch, MPlayer already reinitialized the VO on frame size and pixel format changes - all this was merged into a single check for changing image parameters). The third patch makes me a bit more uncomfortable. It appears the code was moved to dec_video.c in de68b8f23c8c, and further changed in 82f0d373, 0a0bb905, and bf13bd0d. You could claim that cehoyos' copyright still sticks. Fortunately, we implement alternative aspect detection, which is simpler and probably preferable, and which arguably contains none of the original code and logic, and thus should be fully safe. While I don't know if cehoyos' copyright actually still applies, I'm more comfortable with making the code GPL-only for now. Also change the default to use the (in future) plain LGPL code, and deprecate the one associated with the GPL code, so we can eventually remove the GPL code. But it's also possible we decide that the copyright doesn't apply, and undo the deprecation and GPL guards. I expect that users won't notice anything. If you ask me, the old aspect method was probably an accidental bug instead of intentional behavior. Although, the new aspect method was broken too, so I had to fix it.
* dec_video, dec_audio: remove redundant NULL-checkswm42017-02-201-2/+1
| | | | OK, they're redundant. Now stop wasting my time, coverity.
* player: add experimental stream recording featurewm42017-02-071-5/+14
| | | | | This is basically a WIP, but it can't remain in a branch forever. A warning is print when using it as it's still a bit "shaky".
* video: make decoder EOF reporting explicitwm42017-01-111-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is simpler and more robust, especially for the hwdec fallback case. The most annoying issue is that C doesn't support multiple return values (or sum types), so the decode call gets all awkward. The hwdec fallback case does not need to try to produce some output after the fallback anymore. Instead, it can use the normal "replay" code path. We invert the "eof" bool that vd_lavc.c used internally. The receive_frame decoder API returns the inverse of EOF, because returning "true" from the decode function if EOF was reached feels awkward.
* video: restructure decode loopwm42017-01-101-15/+23
| | | | Basically change everything. Why does the code get larger? No idea.
* player: change aspects of cover art handlingwm42017-01-101-17/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cover art handling is a disgusting hack that causes a mess in all components. And this will stay this way. This is the Xth time I've changed cover art handling, and that will probably also continue. But change the code such that cover art is injected into the demux packet stream, instead of having an explicit special case it in the decoder glue code. (This is somewhat more similar to the cover art hack in libavformat.) To avoid that the over art picture is decoded again on each seek, we need some additional "caching" in player/video.c. Decoding it after each seek would work as well, but since cover art pictures can be pretty huge, it's probably ok to invest some lines of code into caching it. One weird thing is that the cover art packet will remain queued after seeks, but that is probably not an issue. In exchange, we can drop the dec_video.c code, which is pretty convenient for one of the following commits. This code duplicates a bunch of lower-level decode calls and does icky messing with this weird state stuff, so I'm glad it goes away.
* options: deprecate codec family selection in --vd/--adwm42016-12-231-10/+9
| | | | | Useless now, so get rid of it. Also affects some user-visible display things (like reported codec in use).
* dec_video: don't spam missing PTS warningswm42016-11-091-2/+9
| | | | | Only print at most 2. Just because with some decoders, we will always hit this code path, such as playing avi of vfw-muxed mkv on RPI.
* dec_video, dec_audio: avoid full reinit on switches to the same segmentwm42016-11-091-6/+9
| | | | | | Same deal as with the previous commit. (Unfortunately, this code is still duplicated.)
* demux: expose demuxer colorimetry metadata to playerNiklas Haas2016-11-081-0/+1
| | | | | | Implementation-wise, the values from the demuxer/codec header are merged with the values from the decoder such that the former are used only where the latter are unknown (0/auto).
* command: add a video-dec-params propertywm42016-09-201-0/+6
| | | | | | This is the actual decoder output, with no overrides applied. (Maybe video-params shouldn't contain the overrides in the first place, but damage done.)
* video: handle override video parameters in a better placewm42016-09-201-0/+7
| | | | | | | | This really shouldn't be in vd_lavc.c - move it to dec_video.c, where it also applies aspect overrides. This makes all overrides in one place. The previous commit contains some required changes for resetting the image parameters change detection (i.e. it's not done only on video aspect override changes).
* command: change update handling of some video-related propertieswm42016-09-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Use the new mechanism, instead of wrapped properties. As usual, extend the update handling to some options that were forgotten/neglected before. Rename video_reset_aspect() to video_reset_params() to make it more "general" (and we can amazingly include write access to video-aspect as well in this).
* dec_video: always redisplay cover art after a seekwm42016-03-111-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of displaying it only on playback start (or after switching tracks), always display it even after a seek. This helps with --lavfi-complex. You can now overlay e.g. audio visualizations over cover art, and it won't break after a seek. The downside is that this might make seeks with huge cover art slower. There is also a glitch on seeking: since cover art pictures always have timestamp 0, the playback time will be 0 for a moment after seek, and then revert to audio PTS (as video is considered EOF). This is also due to how lavfi's overlay filter behaves. (I'm not sure how to tell lavfi that it's just a single frame.)
* dec_video: reduce scope of variablewm42016-03-111-3/+3
| | | | | Almost only a cosmetic change, although it decreases pointless referencing/dereferencing of the cover art packet too.
* video: fix coverart decodingwm42016-03-071-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | Deselecting cover art and then reselecting it did not work. The second time the cover art picture is not displayed again. (This seems to break every other month...) The reason is commit 6640b22a. It mutates the input packet. And it is correct that we don't own d_video->header->attached_picture at this point. Fix it by creating a new packet reference.
* video: fix hr-seekwm42016-02-281-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Hr-seek was often off by one frame due to rounding issues, which have been traditionally taken care off by adding a "tolerance". Essentially, frames very close to the seek target PTS are not dropped, even if they may strictly are before the seek target. Commit 0af53353 accidentally removed this by always removing frames even if they're within the "tolerance". Fix this by "unsharing" the logic and making sure the segment code is inactive for normal seeks.
* video: allow the decoder to consume packets partiallywm42016-02-191-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is in preparation for a hypothetical API change in libavcodec, which would allow the decoder to return multiple video frames before accepting a new input packet. In theory, the body of the if() added to vd_lavc.c could be replaced with this code: packet->buffer += ret; packet->len -= ret; but currently this is not needed, as libavformat already outputs one frame per packet. Also, using libavcodec this way could lead to a "deadlock" if the decoder refuses to consume e.g. garbage padding, so enabling this now would introduce bugs. (Adding this now for easier testing, and for symmetry with the audio code.)
* video: move packet timestamp fudgingwm42016-02-191-9/+8
| | | | | | | | | | There is some strange code which sets the DTS of the packet to PTS (but only if it's not AVI), which apparently helps with timestamp determination with some broken files. This code is annoying because it tries to avoid mutating the packet (which it logically doesn't own). Move it to where it does and get rid of the packet_copy mess. Needed for the following commit.
* video: move unreliable-packet-PTS checkwm42016-02-191-5/+8
| | | | | | | This tries to determine whether packet PTS values are accurate and can be used for frame dropping during seeking. Move both checks (PTS is missing; PTs is non-monotonic) to the earliest place where they can be done.
* Rewrite ordered chapters and timeline stuffwm42016-02-151-7/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work. The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer. The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.) To counter this, we do two things: - Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter" approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g. the extradata, but that seems fragile. - Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback core doesn't need to care about these things. These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore. In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement, even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.) There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code. This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later. Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.
* audio/video: expose codec info as separate fieldwm42016-02-151-4/+4
| | | | | Preparation for the timeline rewrite. The codec will be able to change, the stream header not.
* video: remove pointless parameter indirectionwm42016-02-151-2/+4
| | | | This is always the same value.
* video: approximate AVI timestamps via DTS handlingwm42016-02-111-43/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now (and in mplayer traditionally), avi timestamps were handled with a timestamp FIFO. AVI timestamps are essentially just strictly increasing frame numbers and are not reordered like normal timestamps. Limiting the FIFO is required because frames can be dropped. To make it worse, frame dropping can't be distinguished from the decoder not returning output due to increasing the buffering required for B-frames. ("Measuring" the buffering at playback start seems like an interesting idea, but won't work as the buffering could be increased mid-playback.) Another problem are skipped frames (packets with data, but which do not contain a video frame). Besides dropped and skipped frames, there is the problem that we can't always know the delay. External decoders like MMAL are not going to tell us. (And later perhaps others, like direct VideoToolbox usage.) In general, this works not-well enough that I prefer the solution of passing through AVI timestamps as DTS. This is slightly incorrect, because most decoders treat DTS as mpeg-style timestamps, which already include a b-frame delay, and thus will be shifted by a few frames. This means there will be a problem with A/V sync in some situations. Note that the FFmpeg AVI demuxer shifts timestamps by an additional amount (which increases after the first seek!?!?), which makes the situation worse. It works well with VfW-muxed Matroska files, though. On RPI, the first X timestamps are broken until the MMAL decoder "locks on".
* player: fix crash if no video decoder can be initializedwm42016-02-101-0/+2
| | | | Caused by the recent refactoring for complex filters.
* video: remove AVI timestamps for dropped frameswm42016-02-041-1/+5
| | | | | Might possible improve A/V sync, although this is at best approximate. (AVI is just fucked.)
* audio/video: merge decoder return valueswm42016-02-011-17/+17
| | | | | | Will be helpful for the coming filter support. I planned on merging audio/video decoding, but this will have to wait a bit longer, so only remove the duplicate status codes.
* video: fix broken-PTS fallback determinationwm42016-01-291-11/+6
| | | | | | | | | | This codes tries to deal with broken PTS timestamps, but since commit 271cabe6 it didn't always overwrite the previous timestamp as it should have. This mattered only if there were broken timestamps in the video stream. Also remove the pointless prev_codec_pts variables, since the decoder doesn't overwrite these fields anymore.
* video: cleanup pts/dts passing between decoder componentswm42016-01-251-2/+4
| | | | | Instead of using semi-public codec_pts/codec_dts fields in struct dec_video, pass them via mp_image fields.
* video: refactor: disentangle decoding/filtering some morewm42016-01-161-8/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | This moves some code related to decoding from video.c to dec_video.c, and also removes some accesses to dec_video.c from the filtering code. dec_video.ch is starting to make sense, and simply returns video frames from a demuxer stream. The API exposed is also somewhat intended to be easily changeable to move decoding to a separate thread, if we ever want this (due to libavcodec already being threaded, I don't see much of a reason, but it might still be helpful).
* video: fix interactively changing aspect ratiowm42016-01-141-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | The aspect ratio calculations are cached (mainly so that aspect ratio related messages are not logged on every frame). The cache is not clared anymore when video filters are reconfigured, but changing the video-aspect-ratio property relied on it. Make it explicit. Fixes #2714.
* video: decouple filtering/decoding slightly morewm42016-01-141-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lots of noise to remove the vfilter/vo fields from dec_video. From now on, video filtering and output will still be done together, summarized under struct vo_chain. There is the question where exactly the vf_chain should go in such a decoupled architecture. The end goal is being able to place a "complex" filter between video decoders and output (which will culminate in natural integration of A->V filters for natural integration of libavfilter audio visualizations). The vf_chain is still useful for "final" processing, such as format conversions and deinterlacing. Also, there's only 1 VO and 1 --vf option. So having 1 vf_chain for a VO seems ideal, since otherwise there would be no natural way to handle all these existing options and mechanisms. There is still some work required to truly decouple decoding.
* video: refactor: shuffle code aroundwm42016-01-141-71/+0
| | | | | | struct dec_video should have nothing to do with video filters or outputs, and this huge chunk of code was somehow stuck directly in dec_video.c.
* video: refactor: handle video format fixups closer to decoderwm42016-01-141-61/+65
| | | | | | | | | | Instead of handling this on filter chain reinit, do it directly after the decoder. This makes the code less entangled. In particular, this gets rid of the really weird "override params" concept in the video filter code. The last_format/fixed_formats have some redundance with decoder_output, but unfortunately the latter has a slightly different use.
* demux: merge sh_video/sh_audio/sh_subwm42016-01-121-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | This is mainly a refactor. I'm hoping it will make some things easier in the future due to cleanly separating codec metadata and stream metadata. Also, declare that the "codec" field can not be NULL anymore. demux.c will set it to "" if it's NULL when added. This gets rid of a corner case everything had to handle, but which rarely happened.
* video: switch from using display aspect to sample aspectwm42015-12-191-13/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MPlayer traditionally always used the display aspect ratio, e.g. 16:9, while FFmpeg uses the sample (aka pixel) aspect ratio. Both have a bunch of advantages and disadvantages. Actually, it seems using sample aspect ratio is generally nicer. The main reason for the change is making mpv closer to how FFmpeg w
