* build: deal with endian messwm42014-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no standard mechanism for detecting endianess. Doing it at compile time in a portable way is probably hard. Doing it properly with a configure check is probably hard too. Using the endian definitions in <sys/types.h> (usually includes <endian.h>, which is not available everywhere) works under circumstances, but the previous commit broke it on OSX. Ideally all code should be endian dependent, but that is not possible due to the dependencies (such as FFmpeg, some video output APIs, some audio output APIs). Create a header osdep/endian.h, which contains various fallbacks. Note that the last fallback uses libavutil; however, it's not clear whether AV_HAVE_BIGENDIAN is a public symbol, or whether including <libavutil/bswap.h> really makes it visible. And in fact we don't want to pollute the namespace with libavutil definitions either. Thus it's only the last fallback.
* core: redo how codecs are mapped, remove codecs.confwm42013-02-101-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use codec names instead of FourCCs to identify codecs. Rewrite how codecs are selected and initialized. Now each decoder exports a list of decoders (and the codec it supports) via add_decoders(). The order matters, and the first decoder for a given decoder is preferred over the other decoders. E.g. all ad_mpg123 decoders are preferred over ad_lavc, because it comes first in the mpcodecs_ad_drivers array. Likewise, decoders within ad_lavc that are enumerated first by libavcodec (using av_codec_next()) are preferred. (This is actually critical to select h264 software decoding by default instead of vdpau. libavcodec and ffmpeg/avconv use the same method to select decoders by default, so we hope this is sane.) The codec names follow libavcodec's codec names as defined by AVCodecDescriptor.name (see libavcodec/codec_desc.c). Some decoders have names different from the canonical codec name. The AVCodecDescriptor API is relatively new, so we need a compatibility layer for older libavcodec versions for codec names that are referenced internally, and which are different from the decoder name. (Add a configure check for that, because checking versions is getting way too messy.) demux/codec_tags.c is generated from the former codecs.conf (minus "special" decoders like vdpau, and excluding the mappings that are the same as the mappings libavformat's exported RIFF tables). It contains all the mappings from FourCCs to codec name. This is needed for demux_mkv, demux_mpg, demux_avi and demux_asf. demux_lavf will set the codec as determined by libavformat, while the other demuxers have to do this on their own, using the mp_set_audio/video_codec_from_tag() functions. Note that the sh_audio/video->format members don't uniquely identify the codec anymore, and sh->codec takes over this role. Replace the --ac/--vc/--afm/--vfm with new --vd/--ad options, which provide cover the functionality of the removed switched. Note: there's no CODECS_FLAG_FLIP flag anymore. This means some obscure container/video combinations (e.g. the sample Film_200_zygo_pro.mov) are played flipped. ffplay/avplay doesn't handle this properly either, so we don't care and blame ffmeg/libav instead.
* video: decouple internal pixel formats from FourCCswm42013-01-131-0/+57
mplayer's video chain traditionally used FourCCs for pixel formats. For example, it used IMGFMT_YV12 for 4:2:0 YUV, which was defined to the string 'YV12' interpreted as unsigned int. Additionally, it used to encode information into the numeric values of some formats. The RGB formats had their bit depth and endian encoded into the least significant byte. Extended planar formats (420P10 etc.) had chroma shift, endian, and component bit depth encoded. (This has been removed in recent commits.) Replace the FourCC mess with a simple enum. Remove all the redundant formats like YV12/I420/IYUV. Replace some image format names by something more intuitive, most importantly IMGFMT_YV12 -> IMGFMT_420P. Add img_fourcc.h, which contains the old IDs for code that actually uses FourCCs. Change the way demuxers, that output raw video, identify the video format: they set either MP_FOURCC_RAWVIDEO or MP_FOURCC_IMGFMT to request the rawvideo decoder, and sh_video->imgfmt specifies the pixel format. Like the previous hack, this is supposed to avoid the need for a complete codecs.cfg entry per format, or other lookup tables. (Note that the RGB raw video FourCCs mostly rely on ffmpeg's mappings for NUT raw video, but this is still considered better than adding a raw video decoder - even if trivial, it would be full of annoying lookup tables.) The TV code has not been tested. Some corrective changes regarding endian and other image format flags creep in.
