The old way still works, and is fine to use. Still discourage it,
because it might conflict with other ways to access this property, such
as the one added in the next commit.
This is a regression introduced from moving Lua scripts (including the
OSC) to their own threads. Now OSC and dvdnav can add their bindings at
the same time without coordination, which seems to result in the OSC
winning most time, and thus overriding the dvdnav menu bindings.
Fix this by adding a flag that makes dvdnav menu bindings take priority
over all other bindings.
When timeline was used, and the --start option was not used, the initial
seek (needed to switch to the first timeline segment) seeked to -1 due
to an oversight.
There was already an undocumented mechanism provided by
mp.set_key_bindings and other functions, but this was relatively
verbose, and also weird. It was mainly to make the OSC happy (including
being efficient and supporting weird corner cases), while the new
functions try to be a bit simpler.
This also provides a way to let users rebind script-provided commands.
(This mechanism is less efficient, because it's O(n^2) for n added key
bindings, but it shouldn't matter.)
Until now, the --no-config was explicitly checked in multiple places to
suppress loading of config files.
Add such a check to the config path code itself, and refuse to resolve
_any_ configuration file locations if the option is set.
osc.lua needs a small fixup, because it didn't handle the situation when
no path was returned. There may some of such cases in the C code too,
but I didn't find any on a quick look.
Instead, chain them.
Note that there's no logic to prevent the other event handlers to be run
from an event handler (like it's popular in GUI toolkits), because I
think that's not very useful for this purpose.
In particular, this affects drag & drop of subtitles, which uses sub_add
internally. This will make the subtitles show up immediately, instead of
requiring manual selection of the added subtitle.
Might be not so ideal when adding multiple subtitles at once, because
that leads to multiple sub_add commands, and will end up with the last
subtitle instead of the first selected. But this is a minor detail.
The initialization code was split and refactored for the libmpv changes.
One change, moving a part of cocoa initialization, accidentally broke
--force-window on OSX, which creates a VO in a certain initialization
stage. We still don't know how cocoa should behave with libmpv, so fix
this with a hack to beat it back into working. Untested.
Return the error Lua-style, instead of raising it as Lua error. This is
better, because raising errors is reserved for more "fatal" conditions.
Pretending they're exceptions and trying to do exception-style error
handling will just lead to pain in this language.
This library will export the client API functions.
Note that this doesn't allow compiling the command line player to link
against this library yet. The reason is that there's lots of weird stuff
required to setup the execution environment (mostly Windows and OSX
specifics), as well as things which are out of scope of the client API
and every application has to do on its own. However, since the mpv
command line player basically reuses functions from the mpv core to
implement these things, it's not very easy to separate the command
line player form the mpv core.
This is partial only, and it still accesses some MPContext internals.
Specifically, chapter and track lists are still read directly, and OSD
access is special-cased too.
The OSC seems to work fine, except using the fast-forward/backward
buttons. These buttons behave differently, because the OSC code had
certain assumptions how often its update code is called.
The Lua interface changes slightly.
Note that this has the odd property that Lua script and video start
at the same time, asynchronously. If this becomes an issue, explicit
synchronization could be added.
Add a client API, which is intended to be a stable API to get some rough
control over the player. Basically, it reflects what can be done with
input.conf commands or the old slavemode. It will replace the old
slavemode (and enable the implementation of a new slave protocol).
This avoids trouble if another mpv instance is initialized in the same
process.
Since timeBeginPeriod/timeEndPeriod are hereby not easily matched
anymore, use an atexit() handler to call timeEndPeriod, so that we
can be sure these calls are matched, even if we allow multiple
initializations later when introducing the client API.
This sometimes happened when changing playback speed (= reinitializing
audio) after seeking of playback start. The assertion in audio.c:441 was
triggered, because buffer_playable_samples wasn't reset correctly when
the audio buffer was cleared or shortened. The assertion is correct and
should hold up any time.
The code removed from handle_input_and_seek_coalesce() did two things:
1. If there's a queued seek, stop accepting non-seek commands, and delay
them to the next playloop iteration.
2. If a seek is executing (i.e. the seek was unqueued, and now it's
trying to decode and display the first video frame), stop accepting
seek commands (and in fact all commands that were queued after the
first seek command). This logic is disabled if seeking started longer
than 300ms ago. (To avoid starvation.)
I'm not sure why 1. would be needed. It's still possible that a command
immediately executed after a seek command sees a "seeking in progress"
state, because it affects queued seeks only, and not seeks in progress.
Drop this code, since it can easily lead to input starvation, and I'm
not aware of any disadvantages.
The logic in 2. is good to make seeking behave much better, as it
guarantees that the video display is updated frequently. Keep the core
idea, but implement it differently. Now this logic is applied to seeks
only. Commands after the seek can execute freely, and like with 1., I
don't see a reason why they couldn't. However, in some cases, seeks are
supposed to be executed instantly, so queue_seek() needs an additional
parameter to signal the need for immediate update.
One nice thing is that commands like sub_seek automatically profit from
the seek delay logic. On the other hand, hitting chapter seek multiple
times still does not update the video on chapter boundaries (as it
should be).
Note that the main goal of this commit is actually simplification of the
input processing logic and to allow all commands to be executed
immediately.
Instead of printing lines like:
Demuxer info GENRE changed to Alternative Rock
Just output all tags once they change. The assumption is that individual
tags rarely change, while all tags change in the common case.
This changes tag updates to use polling. This could be fixed later,
although the ICY stuff makes it a bit painful, so maybe it will remain
this way.
Also remove DEMUXER_CTRL_UPDATE_INFO. This was intended to check for tag
updates, but now we use a different approach.
Windows applications that use LoadLibrary are vulnerable to DLL
preloading attacks if a malicious DLL with the same name as a system DLL
is placed in the current directory. mpv had some code to avoid this in
ao_wasapi.c. This commit just moves it to main.c, since there's no
reason it can't be used process-wide.
This change can affect how plugins are loaded in AviSynth, but it
shouldn't be a problem since MPC-HC also does this and it's a very
popular AviSynth client.
Windows users expect this when a program crashes. Without it, the
program just disappears. Also change the SetErrorMode call to use macros
instead of a hardcoded constant.
If there's more than one edition, print the list of editions, including
the edition name, whether the edition is selected, whether the edition
is default, and the command line option to select the edition. (Similar
to stream list.)
Move reading the tags to a separate function process_tags(), which is
called when all other state is parsed. Otherwise, that tags will be lost
if chapters are read after the tags.
Do two things:
1. add locking to struct osd_state
2. make struct osd_state opaque
While 1. is somewhat simple, 2. is quite horrible. Lots of code accesses
lots of osd_state (and osd_object) members. To make sure everything is
accessed synchronously, I prefer making osd_state opaque, even if it
means adding pretty dumb accessors.
All of this is meant to allow running VO in their own threads.
Eventually, VOs will request OSD on their own, which means osd_state
will be accessed from foreign threads.
The plan is to make the whole OSD thread-safe, and we start with this.
We just put locks on all entry points (fortunately, dec_sub.c and all
sd_*.c decoders are very closed off, and only the entry points in
dec_sub.h let you access it). I think this is pretty ugly, but at least
it's very simple.
There's a special case with sub_get_bitmaps(): this function returns
pointers to decoder data (specifically, libass images). There's no way
to synchronize this internally, so expose sub_lock/sub_unlock functions.
To make things simpler, and especially because the lock is sort-of
exposed to the outside world, make the locks recursive. Although the
only case where this is actually needed (although trivial) is
sub_set_extradata().
One corner case are ASS subtitles: for some reason, we keep a single
ASS_Renderer instance for subtitles around (probably to avoid rescanning
fonts with ordered chapters), and this ASS_Renderer instance is not
synchronized. Also, demux_libass.c loads ASS_Track objects, which are
directly passed to sd_ass.c. These things are not synchronized (and
would be hard to synchronize), and basically we're out of luck. But I
think for now, accesses happen reasonably serialized, so there is no
actual problem yet, even if we start to access OSD from other threads.
These were needed before the last commit, but now they don't do anything
anymore. (They were used to decide whether to replace or stack the
previous OSD message when a new one was displayed.)
