If certain OSD messages were displayed at the same time, the hidden
messages were put on the stack, and displayed again once the higher
priority messages disappeared. The idea was probably that lower priority
messages could not hide higher priority ones, and also that the lower
messages did not get lost.
But in practice, this gives confusing results with OSD messages randomly
reappearing for a brief time. Remove it.
Showing subtitles on terminal used the OSD message stack (which uses a
stack to "pile up" messages that were displayed at the same time). This
had a bunch of weird and annoying consequences. This accessed a certain
osd_state field, which is a minor annoyance since I want to make that
struct opaque. Implement this differently.
The values set by this new option can be queried by Lua scripts using
the mp.getopt() function. The function takes a string parameter, and
returns the value of the first key that matches. If no key matches, nil
is returned.
When the Lua code was written, the core didn't have names for log levels
yet (just numbers). The only user visible change is that "verbose"
becomes "v", since this level had different names.
Adds the following Lua function to enable message events:
mp.enable_messages(size, level)
size is the maximum number of messages the ringbuffer consists of. level
is the minimum log level for a message to be added to the ringbuffer,
and uses the same values as the mp.log() function. (Actually not yet,
but this will be fixed in the following commit.)
The messages will be delivered via the mp_event() in the user script,
using "message" as event name. The event argument is a table with the
following fields:
level: log level of the message (string as in mp.log())
prefix: string identifying the module of origin
text: contents of the message
As of currently, the message text will contain newline characters. A
message can consist of several lines. It is also possible that a
message doesn't end with a newline, and a caller can use multiple
messages to "build" a line. Most messages will contain exactly 1 line
ending with a single newline character, though.
If the message buffer overflows (messages are not read quickly enough),
new messages are lost until the queued up messages are read. At the
point of the overflow, a special overflow message is inserted. It will
have prefix set to "overflow", and the message text is set to "".
Care should be taken not to print any messages from the message event
handler. This would lead to an infinite loop (the event handler would be
called again after returning, because a new message is available). This
includes mp.log() and all mp.msg.* functions. Keep in mind that the Lua
print() function is mapped to mp.msg.info().
Before that, it just returned -1.
The print case is inconsistent with that, but I'll leave it for now,
because it's consistent with status line / show_progress behavior.
Starting a network stream could stall by executing uncacheable stream
control requests (STREAM_CTRL_GET_LANG and STREAM_CTRL_GET_DVD_INFO).
Being uncacheable means the player has to wait until the cache is done
reading the current block of data. These requests can't be cached
because they're too complicated, so the only way to avoid them is
special casing the DVD and Bluray streams (which are the only things
which need these requests), and not doing them in other cases.
(This is kind of inelegant, but so is the rest of the DVD/BD code.)
The terminal OSD code includes the handling of the terminal status line,
showing player OSD messages on the terminal, and showing subtitles on
terminal (the latter two only if there is no video window, or if
terminal OSD is forced).
This didn't handle some corner cases correctly. For example, showing an
OSD message on the terminal always cleared the previous line, even if
the line was an important message (or even just the command prompt, if
most other messages were silenced).
Attempt to handle this correctly by keeping track of how many lines the
terminal OSD currently consists of. Since there could be race conditions
with other messages being printed, implement this in msg.c. Now msg.c
expects that MSGL_STATUS messages rewrite the status line, so the caller
is forced to use a single mp_msg() call to set the status line.
Instead of littering print_status() all over the place, update the
status only once per playloop iteration in update_osd_msg(). In audio-
only mode, the status line might now be a little bit off, but it's
perhaps ok.
Print the status line only if it has changed, or if another message was
printed. This might help with extremely slow terminals, although in
audio+video mode, it'll still be updated very often (A-V sync display
changes on every frame).
Instead of hardcoding the terminal sequences, use
terminfo/termcap to get the sequences. Remove the --term-osd-esc option,
which allowed to override the hardcoded escapes - it's useless now.
The fallback for terminals with no escape sequences for moving the
cursor and clearing a line is removed. This somewhat breaks status line
display on these terminals, including the MS Windows console: instead of
querying the terminal size and clearing the line manually by padding the
output with spaces, the line is simply not cleared. I don't expect this
to be a problem on UNIX, and on MS Windows we could emulate escape
sequences. Note that terminal OSD (other than the status line) was
broken anyway on these terminals.
In osd.c, the function get_term_width() is not used anymore, so remove
it. To remind us that the MS Windows console apparently adds a line
break when writint the last column, adjust screen_width in terminal-
win.c accordingly.
Seeking usually show the status on OSD. In terminal OSD mode, no status
is shown, because there is already a separate status line.
Unfortunately, the mechanism for showing the status was still active,
which forced showing no message while the code for showing seek status
was active.
Insane .ass subtitle scripts can cause severe slowdown (depending on the
speed of the machine, or the insanity of the script), so mention how to
test without subtitles. This is mainly to make the user aware that
subtitle rendering can be a problem. For longwinded explanation, there
isn't enough space.
Use the video chain for this instead. This is for facilitating coming
changes, which will clean up the vo->aspdat stuff, and this code would
be in the way.
This fixes two things:
1. Dropping files on the VO window will auto-load subtitles (since most
drag & drop code prefixes the filenames with 'file://', and the
subtitle auto-load code considers 'file://' non-local)
2. Fix behavior of the %x screenshot filename template (similar problem)
One could force all that code to special-case 'file://' URLs, but just
replacing the filename on playback start is simpler.
This was inconsistent: the actual statusline used [statusline] as
message prefix, while other parts of the terminal OSD used [cplayer]
(and MSGL_STATUS). This commit makes it consistent.
Note that we can't use mp_msg, because it's not async-signal safe (we
might be running other threads while forking, so only functions
specified to be async-signal safe can be called, and this doesn't
include stdio; mp_msg acquires a mutex too).
Also, always print a \n before running the program to flush the status
line. The effect is that a program running successfully as well as the
error message will effectively start on a new line.
Quvi subtitles are considered external subtitles (simply because they're
separate from the audio/video stream), but for the sake of subtitle
auto-selection, they should not be considered external.
Change this so that quvi subtitles are treated like muxed subtitles
(with default flag never set). This means subtitles won't be selected by
default, unless explicitly requested with --sid or --slang.
demux_subreader.c contains the old MPlayer subtitle parser, and I have
absolutely no confidence in this (very crappy) code. There might be
one or two security risks associated with running that code on
arbitrary input.
This is necessary to start mpv without forcing a console window,
but also breaks console usability. A workaround is to call mpv
from a wrapper process that uses the console subsystem and helps
redirecting the standard streams and WriteConsole output to where
they belong.
The Haali Matroska splitter is basically the reference implementation
for this crap, and it knows only:
application/vnd.ms-opentype
application/x-font-ttf
application/x-truetype-font
Two of them were missing in our code. One of them, "application/x-font",
is probably plain incorrect, but I can't really tell.
Also see: http://www.cccp-project.net/beta/test_files/fontsample.mkv
This is probably useful.
Note that this includes a small, stupid hack to prevent loading of the
config file if vf_lavfi is not available. The profile by default uses
vf_lavfi, and the config parser will output errors if vf_lavfi is not
available.
As another caveat, we install the example profile even if encoding is
disabled (though we don't load it, since this would print errors).
This applies the usual logic of resetting stream selections to default
when switching to a file with a different track layout. (This is to
prevent selecting random streams.)
Also, make sure that a track can't be selected twice. While this might
work in some situations, it certainly won't work with subtitles demuxed
from a stream.
Fixes#425.
This is relatively hacky, but it's Christmas, so it's ok. This does two
things: 1. allow selecting two subtitle tracks, and 2. include a hack
that renders the second subtitle always as toptitle. See manpage
additions how to use this.
Normally, there can be only one demuxer stream active for each demuxer
of an external file, but this assumption will be broken for multiple
subtitles support.
For some reason, this checked whether there are external tracks at all
before doing any seeks. Possibly this was to avoid multiple
get_main_demux_pts() calls, but calling this multiple times shouldn't be
too bad.
Normally we shouldn't load these files. But for some reason it was added
in commit b784346e some years ago, and disabling this hack would
probably be an inconvenience. So just print a warning.
