* demux: hack for instant stream switchingGravatar wm42015-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the delay when switching audio tracks in mkv or mp4 files. Other formats are not enabled, because it's not clear whether the demuxers fulfill the requirements listed in demux.h. (Many formats definitely do not with libavformat.) Background: The demuxer packet cache buffers a certain amount of packets. This includes only packets from selected streams. We discard packets from other streams for various reasons. This introduces a problem: switching to a different audio track introduces a delay. The delay is as big as the demuxer packet cache buffer, because while the file was read ahead to fill the packet buffer, the process of reading packets also discarded all packets from the previously not selected audio stream. Once the remaining packet buffer has been played, new audio packets are available and you hear audio again. We could probably just not discard packets from unselected streams. But this would require additional memory and CPU resources, and also it's hard to tell when packets from unused streams should be discarded (we don't want to keep them forever; it'd be a memory leak). We could also issue a player hr-seek to the current playback position, which would solve the problem in 1 line of code or so. But this can be rather slow. So what we do in this commit instead is: we just seek back to the position where our current packet buffer starts, and start demuxing from this position again. This way we can get the "past" packets for the newly selected stream. For streams which were already selected the packets are simply discarded until the previous position is reached again. That latter part is the hard part. We really want to skip packets exactly until the position where we left off previously, or we will skip packets or feed packets to the decoder twice. If we assume that the demuxer is deterministic (returns exactly the same packets after a seek to a previous position), then we can try to check whether it's the same packet as the one at the end of the packet buffer. If it is, we know that the packet after it is where we left off last time. Unfortunately, this is not very robust, and maybe it can't be made robust. Currently we use the demux_packet.pos field as unique packet ID - which works fine in some scenarios, but will break in arbitrary ways if the basic requirement to the demuxer (as listed in the demux.h additions) are broken. Thus, this is enabled only for the internal mkv demuxer and the libavformat mp4 demuxer. (libavformat mkv does not work, because the packet positions are not unique. Probably could be fixed upstream, but it's not clear whether it's a bug or a feature.)
* demux_mkv: return unique file positions for all packetsGravatar wm42015-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, some packets could return the same file position if they were split off from a Matroska-level packet. This was perfectly fine, because the file position isn't used for anything overly important (it uses it to estimate playback position if no other information is available). The following commit will use the demux_packet.pos field as unique ID (as a simplification), so make the demuxer export more finegrained information. Also, the last_filepos field didn't have to be global, at least not anymore.
* demux_mkv: remove the realmedia fieldGravatar wm42015-02-05
| | | | | | Granted, this doesn't help much with anything, other than the hate- driven desire to remove or at least reduce anything that has to do with RealMedia.
* demux_mkv: reindent, cosmeticsGravatar wm42015-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | Reindent the whole handle_realaudio() function, and make the surrouding if block return early instead. Also contains some cosmetics to the sipr swapping, which hopefully does not change the semantics, but is untested (the kind of cosmetic changes everyone loves so much). May the person responsible for sipr rot in hell. (It was probably done to obfuscate the codec?)
* demux_mkv: simplify realaudio handlingGravatar wm42015-02-05
| | | | | | | Staring at the code, it doesn't look like the extra code for "normal" audio is needed. Most of it looks like artifacts from the previous code structure (much of it was added in the initial commit). I couldn't find a sample that uses this code path to fully confirm this, though.
* demux_mkv: remove realvideo-specific aspect ratio handlingGravatar wm42015-02-05
| | | | | | | | I suppose it could lead to subtle changes in behavior in presence of realvideo files that change aspect radio. With the only sample I had available, the behavior actually improved (azumi.mkv from the MPlayer samples FTP; when starting playback in the middle it used the wrong aspect ratio).
* demux_mkv: use libavcodec parser for realvideoGravatar wm42015-02-05
| | | | | | Appears to work, so we can drop some code. For some really odd reason, the descrambling done on the timestamp requires millisecond units (due to the "algorithm", not the libavcodec API).
* demux_mkv: retrieve timestamps from libavcodec parserGravatar wm42015-02-05
| | | | | | | | | Fixes vp9 missing timestamps. This requires a brand new libavcodec (the patch for this was just applied to FFmpeg git master). The timestamp mangling is applied to VP9 only. It'd probably work with other codecs, but it's not needed. It could break in various ways, so it has to be explicitly checked for every enabled codec.
* demux_mkv: refactor packet parsingGravatar wm42015-02-05
| | | | | | | | Makes it somewhat more uniform, and breaks up the awfully deep nesting. This implicitly changes multiple small details, rather than only moving code around. In particular, this computes the packet fields first and parses them afterwards, which is needed for the next commit.
* demux_raw: output smaller audio packetsGravatar wm42015-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently, audio packets are always filtered as a whole. Since demux_raw output a 1 second long packet, this could lead to large delays when applying softvol volume. It could be fixed by splitting the frames the decoder outputs before filtering them (like the old filter code used to), but since this didn't cause any other problems yet, I'm going with the simpler fix. Fixes #1558.
* demux_disc: fix CDDA seekabilityGravatar wm42015-02-03
| | | | | | | | The only reason why cdda:// goes through this wrapper-demuxer is so that we add chapters to it. Most things related to seeking apply only to DVD/BD, and in fact broke CDDA sekkability. Fixes #1555.
* demux_mkv: use unique IDs for cover art pseudo-tracksGravatar wm42015-02-01
| | | | | | | Might fix behavior with mkv files that use ordered chapters and have cover art tags. In my opinion, this should actually have worked (because cover art pseudo-tracks are strictly appended), but I don't have a sample file to test at hand.
* player: demote matroska ordered chapter scanning messages to VerboseGravatar Diogo Franco (Kovensky)2015-01-28
| | | | | Causes a lot of terminal spam on large folders and is not actually useful except maybe for debugging.
* command: export more details about file seekabilityGravatar wm42015-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | If a file is unseekable (consider e.g. a http server without resume functionality), but the stream cache is active, the player will enable seeking anyway. Until know, client API user couldn't know that this happens, and it has implications on how well seeking will work. So add a property which exports whether this situation applies. Fixes #1522.
* command: export file format as propertyGravatar wm42015-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | Repurpose demuxer->filetype for this. It used to be used to print a human readable format description; change it to a symbolic format name and export it as property. Unfortunately, libavformat has its own weird conventions, which are reflected through the new property, e.g. the .mp4 case mentioned in the manpage. Fixes #1504.
* demux_disc: pass seek flags to stream layerGravatar wm42015-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass through the seek flags to the stream layer. The STREAM_CTRL semantics become a bit awkward, but that's still the least awkward part about optical disc media. Make demux_disc.c request relative seeks. Now the player will use relative seeks if the user sends relative seek commands, and the demuxer announces it wants these by setting rel_seeks to true. This change probably changes seek behavior for dvd, dvdnav, bluray, cdda, and possibly makes seeking useless if the demuxer-cache is set to a high value. Will be used in the next commit. (Split to make reverting the next commit easier.)
* demux: return EOF when reading from unselected streamGravatar wm42015-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally the player doesn't read from unselected streams, so this should be a no-op. But unfortunately, some broken files can severely confuse the player, and assign the same demuxer stream to multiple front-end tracks. Then selecting one of the tracks would deselect the other track, with the end result that the demuxer stream for the selected track is deselected. This could happen with mkv files that use the same track number (which is of course broken). timeline_set_part() sets the tracks using demuxer_stream_by_demuxer_id(), using the broken non-unique IDs. The observable effect was that the player never quit, because demux_read_packet_async() told the caller to wait some longer for new packets. Fix by returning EOF instead. Fixes #1481.
* demux_mkv: fix EBML parsing checksGravatar wm42015-01-12
| | | | | | | | Reading IDs must be checked too. This was basically forgotten in commit f3a978cd. Also set the *length parameter for ebml_parse_length() in some error cases, which _really_ should happen. Fixes #1461.
* demux_mkv: better check for some EBML parsingGravatar wm42015-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | Apparently, originally this code was meant to be able to read past the buffer somewhat, which is why the buffer allocation was padded by 8 byte. This is unclean and confuses valgrind. This probably could have crashed with certain invalid files too. Also revert the change added with 10a2f69; it should be not needed anymore.
* demux_mkv: avoid endless loop with broken filesGravatar wm42015-01-12
| | | | Fixes #1457.
* demux_mkv: improve robustness against broken libavcodec parsersGravatar wm42015-01-09
| | | | | | | | | The VP9 codec parser has a bug: it doesn't set the data/size pointers passed to it. As I understand, it must always do this, and in fact, if it doesn't some libavcodec generic code would be in trouble too. This helps with #1448, but is not the full fix for it. The codec parser must be fixed in libavcodec itself.
* csputils: replace float[3][4] with a structGravatar wm42015-01-06
| | | | | Not being able to use the 3x3 part of the matrix was annoying, so split it into a float[3][3] matrix and a separate float[3] constant vector.
* demux_mkv: avoid PTS warning with image attachmentsGravatar wm42015-01-05
| | | | | | | Removes an annoying "No video PTS! Making something up." warning. Mark it as keyframe, which is needed to prevent strange behavior with PNG. Also, don't leak the picture data.
* demux_mkv: enable codec parsing for vfw-muxed files tooGravatar wm42014-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | For some codecs, we need to invoke a codec parser (because libavcodec will run into trouble otherwise). This was done based on the Matroska codec field. But this ignores handling of vfw-muxed files, which use a pseudo-codec to signal presence of vfw structures, which we must unmangle to get the real codec. Handle this by rearranging the code. This fixes at least mp3-in-mkv for vfw-muxed files; typically old files.
* demux_playlist: unquote entries in pls playlistsGravatar wm42014-12-30
| | | | I guess these parsers still have a way to go...
* demux_mkv: reduce log noiseGravatar wm42014-12-29
| | | | | | | This message can happen a lot for mkv files which index clusters in the seekhead (which is also broken non-sense, but that's a different story). Also remove a duplicate define from matroska.h.
* demux_mf: move mf.c contents to demux_mf.cGravatar wm42014-12-29
| | | | | | | | | There's no reason why parts of this demuxer would be in a separate source file. The existence of this code is already somewhat questionable anyway, so it may as well be dumped into a single file. Even stranger that demux.c included mf.h for no reason (it was an artifact from 2002 when the architecture was uncleaner).
* demux_mkv: use attachment filename as coverart titleGravatar wm42014-12-23
|
* demux_mf: add probing by mime typeGravatar wm42014-12-22
| | | | Reuses the mime type table introduced in the previous commit.
* demux_mkv: support embedded coverartGravatar wm42014-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | The code could as well be in demux.c, but it's better to avoid accidental clashes with demux_lavf.c. FFmpeg provides no way yet to map a mime type to a codec, so do it manually. (It _can_ map a mime type to an "input format", but not a codec.) Fixes #1374.
* Check some mallocsGravatar wm42014-12-12
| | | | Fixes #1337.
* command: add properties for current bitrateGravatar wm42014-12-12
| | | | Fixes #1192.
* demux: don't always make --cache-secs override --demuxer-readahead-secsGravatar wm42014-12-12
| | | | It's confusing. Whether the new behavior is less confusing... whatever.
* emux_mkv: fix possible uninitialized reads with short filesGravatar wm42014-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | These actually are harmless. Even if the data the reader is working on is essentially random, it's treated like untrusted input data, so there should be no harm. But it upsets tools like valgrind. Probably fixes #1329.
* demux_mkv: support svq3Gravatar wm42014-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | The most awesome codec, not. The actual code for svq3 is actually just the part that checks for MKV_V_QUICKTIME (no other QT-muxed codecs are supported). The rest is minor refactoring, that actually improves the code in general. This is just enough to support the 2 svq3-in-mkv sample files I have.
* demux_mkv: reject 0 TimecodeScaleGravatar wm42014-12-06
| | | | | | | Also reject anything over INT_MAX; no particular reason for this upper bound. Fixes #1317.
* demux_playlist: fix negated conditionGravatar wm42014-12-06
| | | | Fuck.
* demux: silence unseekable messageGravatar wm42014-12-05
| | | | | | | This message was added in commit a0acb6ea. But it showed up in all sorts of inappropriate contexts, such as when opening m3u from an unseekable http URL, or playing DVDs. So I guess this didn't work out. Disabling it again.
* demux_playlist: detect headerless m3u files by extensionGravatar wm42014-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | m3u files are normally just text files with a list of filenames. Nothing actually mandates that there is a header. Until now, we've rejected such files, because there's absolutely no way to detect them. If nothing else claims the file, the extension is ".m3u", and if the contents of the file look like text, then load it as m3u playlist. The text heuristic is pretty cheap, but at least it should prevent trying to load binary data as playlist. (Which would "work", but result in a catastrophic user experience.) Due to the text heuristic, UTF-16/32 files will be rejected (unless they have a header), but I don't care.
* demux: explicitly wake up playback thread on metadata change etc.Gravatar wm42014-12-04
| | | | Probably doesn't matter much in practice.
* demux: don't print message if replaygain tags were not foundGravatar wm42014-12-04
| | | | Even thouhg it was printed in verbose mode only, it was annoying.
* dvd, bd: don't unnecessarily block on demuxer/stream all the timeGravatar wm42014-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was completely breaking any low-level caching. Change it so that at least demuxer caching will work. Do this by using the metadata cache mechanism to funnel through the menu commands. For some incomprehensible reason, I had to reorder the events (which affects their delivery priority), or they would be ignored. Probably some crap about the event state being cleared before it could be delivered. I don't give a shit. All this code sucks. It would probably be better to let discnav.c access the menu event "queue" directly, and to synchronize access with a mutex, instead of going through all the caching layers, making things complicated and slow.
* demux_playlist: don't ignore last line in m3uGravatar wm42014-11-30
| | | | | | | | If EOF is reached after reading a line, the EOF flag is set. This was a problem for the m3u code, which checked for EOF _after_ reading a line, which will discard the last line read. Also fix a typo in an unrelated part of the file.
* demux_mkv: remove ancient codec mapping leftoversGravatar wm42014-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All of this is basically due to how MPlayer's codecs.conf worked. It had a demuxer-interface based an AVI, using FourCCs and data structures found in AVI. FourCCs were used to map streams to decoders. For codecs not supported by AVI, "MPlayer internal" FourCCs were made up. codec_tags.c is there to bridge demuxers written against the old API to the mpv one. By now, only demux_mkv.c needs this (because demux_mkv is the only serious demuxer left - preferably, we should use libavformat for mkv too, but I can't see this happening any time soon, because libavformat _still_ doesn't support segment linking). But the codec tables are full of weird stuff automatically extracted from the old codecs.conf tables. Most of it isn't needed for mkv. Remove all custom tags, readd those used by demux_mkv.c internally (see vinfo and mkv_audio_tag tables). The rest is handled by the tables provided by libavformat, which includes AVI and QT tags.
* demux_mkv: simplify extradata handlingGravatar wm42014-11-27
| | | | | | | | | It was more complicated than necessary. The behavior changes slightly. Now it might pass through extradata when it didn't before (hopefully harmless), and doesn't fail with an error if extradata is not available, even though it's needed (harmless, will fail either way).
* demux_mkv: cosmeticsGravatar wm42014-11-27

* demux_mkv: fix a possible out of bounds accessGravatar wm42014-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The if branch has a weak check to test whether the codec_id is the short ID, and handles the long IDs in the else branch. The long IDs are all longer than 12 bytes long, so hardcoding the string offset to get the trailing part of the name makes sense. But the if condition checks for another thing, which could get the else branch run even if the codec_id is short. Fix the bogus control flow and check if the codec_id is long enough. One of these checks could be considered redundant, but include them both for defensive coding.
* demux_lavf: set PTS of first packet for formats with no timestampsGravatar wm42014-11-25
| | | | Makes time display work for some raw audio formats (*.shn).
* demux_mkv: fix scary sign extension issuesGravatar wm42014-11-21
| | | | | | | Expressions involving uint16_t are promoted to int, which then can overflow if the uint16_t values are large enough. Found by Coverity.
* demux_mkv: fix possible real-audio out of bounds accessesGravatar wm42014-11-21
| | | | | | | Could index static arrays from arbitrary input data without checking for bounds. Found by Coverity.
