* ipc: add Windows implementation with named pipesGravatar James Ross-Gowan2016-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements the JSON IPC protocol with named pipes, which are probably the closest Windows equivalent to Unix domain sockets in terms of functionality. Like with Unix sockets, this will allow mpv to listen for IPC connections and handle multiple IPC clients at once. A few cross platform libraries and frameworks (Qt, node.js) use named pipes for IPC on Windows and Unix sockets on Linux and Unix, so hopefully this will ease the creation of portable JSON IPC clients. Unlike the Unix implementation, this doesn't share code with --input-file, meaning --input-file on Windows won't understand JSON commands (yet.) Sharing code and removing the separate implementation in pipe-win32.c is definitely a possible future improvement.
* ipc: fix uninitialized fieldGravatar wm42016-02-12
| | | | | | | The sockaddr_un.sun_len field was not initialized. It seems our API use is correct by simply making sure it's 0. Fixes CID 1350075.

* ipc: fix undefined behavior in some error casesGravatar wm42015-07-06
| | | | goto jumping over an initialization.
* ipc: add request_id to jsonGravatar Preston Hunt2015-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | If the request contains a "request_id", copy it back into the response. There is no interpretation of the request_id value by mpv; the only purpose is to make it easier on the requester by providing an ability to match up responses with requests. Because the IPC mechanism sends events continously, it's possible for the response to a request to arrive several events after the request was made. This can make it very difficult on the requester to determine which response goes to which request.
* ipc: avoid SIGPIPEGravatar wm42015-05-12
| | | | | | | | | Until now, we just blocked SIGPIPE globally. Fix it properly to get away from it. MSG_NOSIGNAL should be widely available and is part of the POSIX.1-2008 standard. But it's not available on OSX, because Apple is both evil and retarded. Thus we continue to ignore the problem on such shitty systems.
* ipc: silence some common info messagesGravatar wm42015-05-05
| | | | | | They are not really interesting. At least one user complained about the noise resulting from use with shell scripts, which connect and disconnect immediately.
* input: handle closed pipe correctlyGravatar wm42015-02-26
|
* input: if FD is not writable, just don't write to the FDGravatar wm42015-02-26
| | | | This is for the case if the FD is a uni-directional pipe.
* input: allow passing FDs to --input-fileGravatar wm42015-02-26
|
* input: avoid creating world-writeable file with --input-unix-socketGravatar wm42015-02-26
| | | | | This requires fchmod(), which is not necessarily available everywhere. It also might not work at all. (It does work on Linux.)
* ipc: put playback core to sleep while dequeuing commandsGravatar wm42015-02-13
| | | | | | | Happens to fix #1581 due to an unfortunate interaction with the way the VO does not react to commands for a while if a video frame is queued. Slightly improves other situations as well, if the client spams mpv with commands during playback.
* ipc: add enable_event and disable_event commandsGravatar wm42014-12-24
| | | | This was requested.
* ipc: report some user errors betterGravatar wm42014-12-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using the IPC with a program, it's not often obvious that a newline must be sent to terminate a command. Print a warning if the connection is closed while there is still uninterpreted data in the buffer. Print the OS reported error if reading/writing the socket fails. Print an erro if JSON parsing fails. I considered silencing write errors if the write end is closed (EPIPE), because a client might send a bunch of commands, and then close the socket without wanting to read the reply. But then, mpv disconnects without reading further commands that might still be buffered, so it's probably a good idea to always print the error.
* client API: be more lenient about mpv_suspend/resume mismatchesGravatar wm42014-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | Before this commit, this was defined to trigger undefined behavior. This was nice because it required less code; but on the other hand, Lua as well as IPC support had to check these things manually. Do it directly in the API to avoid code duplication, and to make the API more robust. (The total code size still grows, though...) Since all of the failure cases were originally meant to ruin things forever, there is no way to return error codes. So just print the errors.
* lua, ipc: remove leftoversGravatar wm42014-11-24
| | | | | | MPV_EVENT_SCRIPT_INPUT_DISPATCH is now unused/deprecated. Also remove a debug-print from defaults.lua.
* ipc: fix confusion of write() return value and errnoGravatar wm42014-11-21
| | | | Found by Coverity.
* ipc: make sure --input-file=/dev/stdin always worksGravatar wm42014-11-07
| | | | It's not necessarily available on Unix systems other than Linux (sigh).
* ipc: make it possible to receive log messagesGravatar wm42014-11-01
| | | | | The receiving part was implemented, but since no messages are enabled by default, it couldn't be used.
* ipc: add a command to retrieve API versionGravatar wm42014-11-01
|
* ipc: verify resume/suspend commandsGravatar wm42014-11-01
| | | | | Calling mpv_resume() too often is considered an API usage violation, and will trigger an internal assertion somewhere.
* input: resolve ~ and similar for --input-fileGravatar wm42014-10-24
| | | | Because why not.
* Set thread name for debuggingGravatar wm42014-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | Especially with other components (libavcodec, OSX stuff), the thread list can get quite populated. Setting the thread name helps when debugging. Since this is not portable, we check the OS variants in waf configure. old-configure just gets a special-case for glibc, since doing a full check here would probably be a waste of effort.
* ipc: skip empty and commented linesGravatar wm42014-10-19
|
* ipc: accept both JSON and "old" commandsGravatar wm42014-10-19
| | | | Minimizes the differences between --input-file and --input-unix-socket.
* ipc: fix minor error cleanup issuesGravatar wm42014-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ipc_thread can exit any time, and will free the mp_ipc_ctx when doing this, leaving a dangling pointer. This was somewhat handled in the original commit by setting mpctx->ipc_ctx to NULL when the thread exited, but that was still a race condition. Handle it by freeing most things after joining the ipc_thread. This means some resources will not be freed until player exit, but that should be ok (it's an exceptional error situation). Also, actually close the pipe FDs in mp_init_ipc() on another error path.
* ipc: decouple from MPContextGravatar wm42014-10-19
| | | | Just a minor refactor to keep unneeded dependencies on the core low.
* ipc: fix a small memory leakGravatar wm42014-10-17
