Now a negative timeout mean an infinite timeout. This is similar to the
poll() system call. Apparently this is more intuitive and less confusing
than specifying a "very high" value as timeout if you want to wait
forever.
For callers that never pass negative timeouts, nothing changes.
This was never intended to be installed; waf just picked it up
automagically. There's also a closed ticket on github where someone
complains that the program "simple" is installed, and I didn't realize
at this point that it was actually installed by default when enabling
the client API.
Listening on messages currently uses polling (every time
mpv_wait_event() has no new events, the message buffer is polled and a
message event is possibly created). Improve this situation a bit, and
call the user-supplied wakeup callback.
This will increase the frequency with which the wakeup callback is
called, but the client is already supposed to be able to deal with this
situation. Also, as before, calling mpv_wait_event() from the wakeup
callback is forbidden, so the client can't read new messages from the
callback directly.
The wakeup pipe is written either. Since the wakeup pipe is created
lazily, we can't access the pipe handle without creating a race
condition or a deadlock. (This is actually very silly, since in practice
the race condition won't matter, but for now let's keep it clean.)
It seems we can't really get rid of this. There are no other hints to
remove decorations that work across all reasonable WMs, so we're stuck
with the ugly motif stuff.
But at least we can make the code for it less ugly.
If an API user calls mpv_wait_event() and mpv_observe_property() before
mpv_initialize(), it could happen that a property was accessed before
initialization, which is not ok.
This was always intended this way, and even documented in client.h. Due
to an oversight it was never actually implemented.
The intention is that mpv embedded in applications and "real mpv" don't
conflict. An API user can undo this by setting the "config" option to
"yes", if using the user's mpv config is desired.
(The old "force" choice of that option is renamed to "force-default".)
This allows overriding native ASS script subtitle styles with the style
provided by the --sub-text-* options (like --sub-text-font etc.). This
is disabled by default, and needs to be explicitly enabled with the
--ass-style-override=force option and input property.
This uses in fact exactly the same options (--sub-text-*) and semantics
as the ones used to configure unstyled text subtitles.
It's recommended to combine this with this in the mpv config file:
ass-force-style="ScaledBorderAndShadow=1" # work around dumb libass behavior
Also, adding a key binding to toggle this behavior should be added,
because overriding can easily break:
L cycle ass-style-override
This would cycle override behavior on Shift+L and allows quickly
disabling/enabling style overrides.
Note: ASS should be considered a vector format rather than a subtitle
format. There is no easy or reliable way to determine whether the style
of a given subtitle event can be changed without destroying visuals or
not. This patch relies on a simple heuristic, which often works and
often breaks.
This could for example happen when serving an incomplete file from http,
and the demuxer tries reading data from the end of the file when opening
it (e.g. with avi). Seeking past EOF fails with http, so the file could
never be opened, and the cache would get stuck trying to seek to the
position.
We can't really make the cache report seek failure directly (it would
suck for various reasons), so just make the cache report EOF if seeking
fails.
The previous commit assumed the filter would be 1x1 (then constant
weight is correct) - but our code in fact uses at least a 2x2 filter. A
1x1 filter would generally be useless, except for nearest scaling - so
it didn't exist.
Insteasd of adding such a 1x1 filter, just turn the nearest weight
function into a scare function, which should take care of the issue.
This simply writes the file name as a comment to the top of the watch later
config file.
It can be useful to the user for determining whether a watch later config file
can be manually removed (e.g. in case the corresponding media file has been
deleted) or not.
This accidentally rejected d==0. We can actually deal with sub-normals
fine, we just want to exclude nan and infinity (although infinity is
already accounted for, but anyway).
If a single person complains, I will readd it. But I don't expect that
this will happen.
The main reason for removing this is that it's some of the most unclean
code remaining, it's unmaintained, and I've never ever heard of someone
using it.
Until now, an error was reported only if the command couldn't be parsed.
Attempt to do more fine-grained reporting. This is not necessarily
perfect, but it's an improvement.
This would imply eglGetProcAddress() doesn't work correctly, but using
dlsym() does. For now get rid of it - it won't work in libmpv, and we'll
probably need a better workaround if it's still broken.
This code was in the initial wayland commit.
The functions glXGetProcAddressARB() and glXQueryExtensionsString() were
loaded using dlsym(). This could fail when compiling to libmpv, because
then dlopen(NULL, ...) will look in the main program's list of
libraries, and the libGL linked to libmpv is never considered. (Don't
know if this somehow could be worked around.) The result is that using
vo_opengl with libmpv can fail.
Avoid this by not using dlsym(). glXGetProcAddressARB() was already used
directly in the same file, and that never caused any problems. (Still
add it to the configure test.) glXQueryExtensionsString() is documented
as added in GLX 1.1 - that's ancient.
So the device buffer can be refilled quickly. Fixes dropouts in certain
cases: if all data is moved from the soft buffer to the audio device
buffer, the waiting code thinks it has to enter the mode in which it
waits for new data from the decoder. This doesn't work, because the
get_space() logic tries to keep the total buffer size down. get_space()
will return 0 (or a very low value) because the device buffer is full,
and the decoder can't refill the soft buffer. But this means if the AO
buffer runs out, the device buffer can't be refilled from the soft
buffer. I guess this mess happened because the code is trying to deal
with both AOs with proper event handling, and AOs with arbitrary
behavior.
Unfortunately this increases latency, as the total buffered audio
becomes larger. There are other ways to fix this again, but not today.
Fixes#818.
Apparently this can happen. So actually only return from waiting if ALSA
excplicitly signals that new output is available, or if we are woken up
externally.
This call was used limited the buffer size if installed RAM was below 16
MB. This stopped being useful a decade ago. The check could also
overflow on 32 bit systems. Just get rid of it.
This did not flush remaining audio in the buffer correctly (in case an
AO has an internal block size). So we have to make the audio feed thread
to write the remaining audio, and wait until it's done.
Checking the avoid_ao_wait variable should be enough to be sure that all
data that can be written was written to the AO driver.
This code handles buggy AOs (even if all AOs are bug-free, it's good for
robustness). Move handling of it to the AO feed thread. Now this check
doesn't require magic numbers and does exactly what's it supposed to do.
Until now, we've always calculated a timeout based on a heuristic when
to refill the audio buffers. Allow AOs to do it completely event-based
by providing wait and wakeup callbacks.
This also shuffles around the heuristic used for other AOs, and there is
a minor possibility that behavior slightly changes in real-world cases.
But in general it should be much more robust now.
ao_pulse.c now makes use of event-based waiting. It already did before,
but the code for time-based waiting was also involved. This commit also
removes one awkward artifact of the PulseAudio API out of the generic
code: the callback asking for more data can be reentrant, and thus
requires a separate lock for waiting (or a recursive mutex).
