* win32: silence some warningsGravatar James Ross-Gowan2014-11-08
| | | | Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>
* audio: add --audio-client-name optionGravatar wm42014-11-07
| | | | | | The main need I see for this is with libmpv - it would be confusing if some application showed up as "mpv" on whateverthehell PulseAudio uses it for (generally it does show up on various PA GUI tools).
* player: add --chapters-file optionGravatar wm42014-11-02
| | | | | | | | Note that you can't pass .cue or .edl files to it, at least not yet. Requested in context of allowing to specify custom chapters. For that to work well, we probably need to add some sort of chapter metadata pseudo-demuxer.
* player: add an option to abort playback on partial init failuresGravatar wm42014-10-28
| | | | | | This is probably what libmpv users want; and it also improves error reporting (or we'd have to add a way to communicate such mid-playback failures as events).
* Drop libquvi supportGravatar wm42014-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | No development activity (or even any sign of life) for almost a year. A replacement based on youtube-dl will probably be provided before the next mpv release. Ask on the IRC channel if you want to test. Simplify the Lua check too: libquvi linking against a different Lua version than mpv was a frequent issue, but with libquvi gone, no direct dependency uses Lua, and such a clash is rather unlikely.
* video: initial dxva2 supportGravatar wm42014-10-25
| | | | | Shamelessly stolen from ffmpeg. It probably doesn't work - you can debug it yourself.
* terminal: strictly don't read terminal input if stdout is not a terminalGravatar wm42014-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Doing that doesn't make sense anyway: it's meant for interactive input, and if the output of the player is not on the terminal, how will you interact with it? It was also quite in the way when trying to read verbose output with e.g. less while the player was running, because the player would grab half of all input meant for less (simply because stdin is still connected to the terminal). Remove the now redundant special-casing of pipe input.
* m_option: format mpv_node as jsonGravatar wm42014-10-23
| | | | | Useful for debugging and informational purposes. Not sure if it's sane in any form.
* options: allow selecting track ID 0 tooGravatar wm42014-10-21
| | | | Blergh. Now needed for --ff-aid and friends.
* player: add stream selection by ffmpeg indexGravatar wm42014-10-21
| | | | | | | | | Apparently using the stream index is the best way to refer to the same streams across multiple FFmpeg-using programs, even if the stream index itself is rarely meaningful in any way. For Matroska, there are some possible problems, depending how FFmpeg actually adds streams. Normally they seem to match though.
* lua: strictly free memory on errorsGravatar wm42014-10-19
| | | | | | | Thanks to the recently introduced mp_lua_PITA(), this is "simple" now. It fixes leaks on Lua errors. The hack to avoid stack overflows manually isn't needed anymore, and the Lua error handler will take care of this.
* win32: get rid of mp_stat in the normal source codeGravatar wm42014-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | mp_stat() instead of stat() was used in the normal code (i.e. even on Unix), because MinGW-w64 has an unbelievable macro-mess in place, which prevents solving this elegantly. Add some dirty workarounds to hide mp_stat() from the normal code properly. This now requires replacing all functions that use the struct stat type. This includes fstat, lstat, fstatat, and possibly others. (mpv currently uses stat and fstat only.)
* input: implement --input-file on unix using the IPC supportGravatar Alessandro Ghedini2014-10-17
|
* input: implement JSON-based IPC protocolGravatar Alessandro Ghedini2014-10-17
|
* sub: adjustments to --ass-style-override optionGravatar wm42014-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | Now requires newest libass git. Since this feature wasn't part of a libass release yet, I'm not bothering making the mpv code compatible with as how it was previously implemented (it will just be disabled with any older libass). CC: @mpv-player/stable (because mpv-build uses libass git, and this breaks the feature)
* audio: add device selection & listing with --audio-deviceGravatar wm42014-10-09
| | | | | | | Not sure how good of an idea this is. This commit doesn't add support for this to any AO yet; the AO implementations will follow later.
* m_config: add function to copy all optionsGravatar wm42014-10-06
| | | | Needed to copy the global option struct in the next commit.
* cocoa: remove --fs-missioncontrolGravatar Stefano Pigozzi2014-10-05
| | | | | | | This is the first of a series of commits that will change the Cocoa way in a way that is easily embeddable inside parent views. To reach that point common code must avoid referencing the parent NSWindow since that could be the host application's window.
* options: add --no-keepaspect-windowGravatar wm42014-10-04
| | | | Seems silly, but was requested.
* x11: stupid workaround for XMonadGravatar wm42014-10-04
| | | | | | | | --x11-netwm=yes now forces NetWM fullscreen, while --x11-netwm=auto (detect whether NetWM fullsctreen support is available) is the old behavior and still the default. See #888.
* audio: enable pitch correction by default when playing fastGravatar wm42014-10-02
| | | | | | | Apparently this is what users want. When playing with normal speed, nothing is done. When playing slower than normal, resampling is used instead, because scaletempo (which does the pitch correction) adds too many artifacts.
* audio: remove --audiodropGravatar wm42014-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This would play some silence in case video was slower than audio. If framedropping is already enabled, there's no other way to keep A/V sync, short of changing audio playback speed (which would give worse results). The --audiodrop option inserted silence if there was more than 500ms desync. This worked somewhat, but I think it was a silly idea after all. Whether the playback experience is really bad or slightly worse doesn't really matter. There also was a subtle bug with PTS handling, that apparently caused A/V desync anyway at ridiculous playback speeds. Just remove this feature; nobody is going to use it anyway.
* player: allow passing number of loops to --loop-fileGravatar wm42014-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | E.g. --loop-file=2 will play the file 3 times (one time normally, and 2 repeats). Minor syntax issue: "--loop-file 5" won't work, you have to use "--loop-file=5". This is because "--loop-file" still has to work for compatibility, so the "old" syntax with a space between option name and value can't work.
* options: remove --volstepGravatar wm42014-09-21
| | | | | | | It's just confusing; users are encouraged to edit input.conf instead (changing the argument to the "add" command). Update input.conf to keep the old behavior.
* player: allow overriding OSD message for all OSD levelsGravatar wm42014-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, you could override only level 3 with --osd-status-msg. Extend this, add add --osd-msg1 to --osd-msg3 (one for each OSD level). OSD level 0 always means disable OSD, so that isn't included. --osd-msg3 corresponds to --osd-status-msg, but they're not exactly the same. To allow more customization, --osd-msgN do not include the OSD symbol. The symbol can be manually added with "${osd-sym-cc}". We keep the "old" option for some short-term compatibility. --osd-msg1 should be particularly useful; for example you could do: --osd-msg1='${?pause==yes:${osd-sym-cc}}' to display a "paused" symbol when paused, and nothing during normal playback. (Although admittedly, the syntax is quite a bit of work.)
* options: change --volstep to 2Gravatar wm42014-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | With default settings, this allows you to hit the 100% mark (with default --softvol-max in the middle) even if you've reached min or max volume before. This is because 50 is not divisible by 3 (old default) but by 2 (new default). Not really sure why there still can be issues with higher --softvol-max and --volstep=1, but this is where I stop caring.
* options: add M_OPT_FILE flag to mark options that want a file(list)Gravatar Alessandro Ghedini2014-09-13
|
* m_config: fix theoretic undefined behaviorGravatar wm42014-09-13
| | | | | | | | | The memcpy() is actually not enough: the types are incompatible, and no memcpy, union, etc. will change that. (Although no real compiler will ever break this.) Attempt to make this theoretically correct by actually using a struct pointer. It's not the same struct type, but supposedly it's ok, because all struct pointers always have the same size and representation in standard C.
* audio: make buffer size configurableGravatar wm42014-09-05
| | | | Really only for testing.
* path: remove XDG bullshitGravatar wm42014-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't worry, your ~/.config/... paths are safe. This merely removes handling of $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS for global paths. Maybe there is a better solution for this, like still including the "traditional" config dir. But I will leave the fine reading of this (crappy) spec and fixing the code accordingly to someone else. So, if anyone has interest in getting this behavior back, you will have to write a patch. This patch should _also_ not break expected behavior. Fixes #1060.
* player: add --media-title optionGravatar wm42014-09-02
| | | | Requested by ChrisK2.
* player: add --osd-playing-msg optionGravatar wm42014-09-02
|
* player: simplistic HLS bitrate selectionGravatar wm42014-09-01
| | | | | | --hls-bitrate=min/max lets you select the min or max bitrate. That's it. Something more sophisticated might be possible, but is probably not even worth the effort.
* command: make m_property_strdup_ro with NULL mean unavailableGravatar wm42014-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | This catches a few cases which basically call: m_property_strdup_ro(..., ..., NULL) which would return NULL strings. This should generally be avoided (although it's allowed due to reasons), and it seems most callers actually intend this to mean M_PROPERTY_UNAVAILABLE.
* video: initial Matroska 3D supportGravatar wm42014-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This inserts an automatic conversion filter if a Matroska file is marked as 3D (StereoMode element). The basic idea is similar to video rotation and colorspace handling: the 3D mode is added as a property to the video params. Depending on this property, a video filter can be inserted. As of this commit, extending mp_image_params is actually completely unnecessary - but the idea is that it will make it easier to integrate with VOs supporting stereo 3D mogrification. Although vo_opengl does support some stereo rendering, it didn't support the mode my sample file used, so I'll leave that part for later. Not that most mappings from Matroska mode to vf_stereo3d mode are probably wrong, and some are missing. Assuming that Matroska modes, and vf_stereo3d in modes, and out modes are all the same might be an oversimplification - we'll see. See issue #1045.
* player: reduce default demuxer cacheGravatar wm42014-08-30
| | | | | | | A (hopefully) temporary hack to make stream switching delays tolerable. It's not clear how this should be handled (either executing a precise seek on track switching, or always enabling all streams), so get this issue out of the way for now by picking a rather low value.
* Move compat/ and bstr/ directory contents somewhere elseGravatar wm42014-08-29
| | | | | | | | | bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them. The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
* options: more detailed output for --vf-... error messageGravatar wm42014-08-28

* player: redo how stream caching and pausing on low cache worksGravatar wm42014-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the --cache-secs option, which literally overrides the value of --demuxer-readahead-secs if the stream cache is active. The default value is very high (10 seconds), which means it can act as network cache. Remove the old behavior of trying to pause once the byte cache runs low. Instead, do something similar wit the demuxer cache. The nice thing is that we can guess how many seconds of video it has cached, and we can make better decisions. But for now, apply a relatively naive heuristic: if the cache is below 0.5 secs, pause, and wait until at least 2 secs are available. Note that due to timestamp reordering, the estimated cached duration of video might be inaccurate, depending on the file format. If the file format has DTS, it's easy, otherwise the duration will seemingly jump back and forth.
* options: compatibility hack for --slave-brokenGravatar wm42014-08-25
| | | | | | | Seems some programs were still relying on it. Whatever, it's not hard to support. CC: @mpv-player/stable
* video: enable framedropping by defaultGravatar wm42014-08-17
|
* demux: enable thread by defaultGravatar wm42014-08-16
| | | | And change the defaults for the other queue options to reduce latency.
* demux: add option to control the readahead buffer by a duration valueGravatar wm42014-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | --demuxer-readahead-secs now controls how much the demuxer should readahead by an amount of seconds. This is based on the raw packet timestamps. It's not always very exact. For example, h264 in Matroska does not store any linear timestamps (only PTS values which are going to be reordered by the decoder), so this heuristic is usually off by several hundred milliseconds. The decision whether to readahead is basically OR-ed with the other --demuxer-readahead-packets options. Change the manpage descriptions to subtly convey these semantics.
* video: add --display-fps switch to control framedrop FPSGravatar wm42014-08-16
| | | | | | Since the display FPS is currently detected on X11 only (and even there it's known to be wrong on certain setups), it seems like a good idea to make this user-configurable.
* audio: add a mode to insert silence on severe A/V desyncGravatar wm42014-08-15
| | | | | | This is probably a stupid idea, but it can't be denied that this actually allows playing video without larger desync, even if video is too slow.
* video: add VO framedropping modeGravatar wm42014-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This mostly uses the same idea as with vo_vdpau.c, but much simplified. On X11, it tries to get the display framerate with XF86VM, and limits the frequency of new video frames against it. Note that this is an old extension, and is confirmed not to work correctly with multi-monitor setups. But we're using it because it was already around (it is also used by vo_vdpau). This attempts to predict the next vsync event by using the time of the last frame and the display FPS. Even if that goes completely wrong, the results are still relatively good. On other systems, or if the X11 code doesn't return a display FPS, a framerate of 1000 is assumed. This is infinite for all practical purposes, and means that only frames which are definitely too late are dropped. This probably has worse results, but is still useful. "--framedrop=yes" is basically replaced with "--framedrop=decoder". The old framedropping mode is kept around, and should perhaps be improved. Dropping on the decoder level is still useful if decoding itself is too slow.
* sub: add option to workaround broken mkv filesGravatar wm42014-08-14
| | | | See additions to options.rst.
* video: move display and timing to a separate threadGravatar wm42014-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VO is run inside its own thread. It also does most of video timing. The playloop hands the image data and a realtime timestamp to the VO, and the VO does the rest. In particular, this allows the playloop to do other things, instead of blocking for video redraw. But if anything accesses the VO during video timing, it will block. This also fixes vo_sdl.c event handling; but that is only a side-effect, since reimplementing the broken way would require more effort. Also drop --softsleep. In theory, this option helps if the kernel's sleeping mechanism is too inaccurate for video timing. In practice, I haven't ever encountered a situation where it helps, and it just burns CPU cycles. On the other hand it's probably actively harmful, because it prevents the libavcodec decoder threads from doing real work. Side note: Originally, I intended that multiple frames can be queued to the VO. But this is not done, due to problems with OSD and other certain features. OSD in particular is simply designed in a way that it can be neither timed nor copied, so you do have to render it into the video frame before you can draw the next frame. (Subtitles have no such restriction. sd_lavc was even updated to fix this.) It seems the right solution to queuing multiple VO frames is rendering on VO-backed framebuffers, like vo_vdpau.c does. This requires VO driver support, and is out of scope of this commit. As consequence, the VO has a queue size of 1. The existing video queue is just needed to compute frame duration, and will be moved out in the next commit.
* video: remove "hard" framedrop modeGravatar wm42014-08-09
| | | | | | | | | Completely useless, and could accidentally be enabled by cycling framedrop modes. Just get rid of it. But still allow triggering the old code with --vd-lavc-framedrop, in case someone asks for it. If nobody does, this new option will be removed eventually.
* options: fix key-value-list optionsGravatar wm42014-08-05
| | | | | | | | The parser can be called with dst (the target) set to NULL if the option should be verified only. The code didn't respect this, and could result in crashes when used in config profiles or filter sub-options. Fixes #981.
