The JSON parser was introduced for the IPC protocol, but I guess it's
useful here too.
The motivation for this commit is the same as with 8e4fa5fc (again).
Because 1) Lua is terrible, and 2) popen() is terrible. Unfortunately,
since Unix is also terrible, this turned out more complicated than I
hoped. As a consequence and to avoid that this code has to be maintained
forever, add a disclaimer that any function in Lua's utils module can
disappear any time. The complexity seems a bit ridiculous, especially
for a feature so far removed from actual video playback, so if it turns
out that we don't really need this function, it will be dropped again.
The motivation for this commit is the same as with 8e4fa5fc.
Note that there is an "#ifndef __GLIBC__". The GNU people are very
special people and thought it'd be convenient to actually declare
"environ", even though the POSIX people, which are also very special
people, state that no header declares this and that the user has to
declare this manually. Since the GNU people overtook the Unix world with
their very clever "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy, but not 100%,
and trying to build without _GNU_SOURCE is hopeless; but since there
might be Unix environments which support _GNU_SOURCE features partially,
this means that in practice "environ" will be randomly declared or not
declared by system headers. Also, gcc was written by very clever people
too, and prints a warning if an external variable is declared twice (I
didn't check, but I suppose redeclaring is legal C, and not even the gcc
people are clever enough to only warn against a definitely not legal C
construct, although sometimes they do this), ...and since we at mpv hate
compiler warnings, we seek to silence them all. Adding a configure test
just for a warning seems too radical, so we special-case this against
__GLIBC__, which is hopefully not defined on other libcs, especially not
libcs which don't implement all aspects of _GNU_SOURCE, and redefine
"environ" on systems even if the headers define it already (because they
support _GNU_SOURCE - as I mentioned before, the clever GNU people wrote
software THAT portable that other libcs just gave up and implemented
parts of _GNU_SOURCE, although probably not all), which means that
compiling mpv will print a warning about "environ" being redefined, but
at least this won't happen on my system, so all is fine. However, should
someone complain about this warning, I will force whoever complained
about this warning to read this ENTIRE commit message, and if possible,
will also force them to eat a printed-out copy of the GNU Manifesto, and
if that is not enough, maybe this person could even be forced to
convince the very clever POSIX people of not doing crap like this:
having the user to manually declare somewhat central symbols - but I
doubt it's possible, because the POSIX people are too far gone and only
care about maintaining compatibility with old versions of AIX and HP-UX.
Oh, also, this code contains some subtle and obvious issues, but writing
about this is not fun.
It's kind of obvious, since the protocol by design has to allow you to
read (loadfile) and write (screenshot_to) random files, but better
make it explicit so that nobody accidentally does something insecure.
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)
Apparently there's an use for this; see #1178.
I won't redocument obscure FFmpeg features, so add a hint to the
manpage that some protocols are documented in FFmpeg instead.
This provides some helper functions and classes for C++/Qt. As the top
of qthelper.hpp says, this is built on top of the client API, and is a
mere helper provided for convenience.
Maybe this should be a separate library, but on the other hand I don't
see much of a point in that. It's also header-only, but C++ people like
such things. This makes it easier for us, because we don't need to care
about ABI compatibility.
The client API doesn't change, but bump it so that those who are using
this header can declare a proper dependency.
This allows mpv's view to take key and send events to mpv's core.
To set key status correctly, clients must call -[NSWindow selectNextKeyView:]
during reconfig on the main thread. All is 'documented' in the cocoabasic
example.
If someone knows a better way to handle giving key to the embedded view,
let me know!
Allows passing native types as arguments.
Also some minor doc improvements, including giving some (natural)
improvements to mpv_free_node_contents().
Note: mpv_command_node_async() is completely untested.
This reverts commit 45c8b97efb.
Some else complained (github issue #1163).
The feature requested in #1148 will be implemented differently in
the following commit.
The event monitor is used to get keyboard events when there is no window, but
since it is a global monitor to the current process, we don't want it in a
library setting.
After @frau's split of macosx_events from macosx_application, `is_cplayer' is
not needed anymore. At the moment only global events such as Media Keys and
Apple Remote work, because the VO-level ones were hardcoded to be disabled.
(that will be fix in a later commit ).
Maybe using strings for log levels was a mistake (too broad and too
impractical), so I'm adding numeric log level at least for the receiver
side. This makes it easier to map mpv log levels to other logging
systems.
I'm still too stingy to add a function to set the log level by a numeric
value, though.
The numeric values are not directly mapped to the internal mpv values,
because then almost every file in mpv would have to include the client
API header.
Coalesce this into API version 1.6, since 1.6 was bumped just yesterday.
For the purpose of demonstration.
Also make the windows larger. I'm not exactly sure how Qt determines
the default window sizes, but here they are a bit tiny, so force them
larger.
The API could return partial lines, meaning the message could stop
in the middle of a line, and the next message would have the rest of
it (or just the next part of it). This was a pain for the user, so do
the nasty task of buffering the lines ourselves.
Now only complete lines are sent. To make things even easier for the
API user, don't put multiple lines into a single event, but split them.
The terminal output code needed something similar (inserting a prefix
header on start of each line). To avoid code duplication, this commit
refactors the terminal output so that lines are split in a single
place.
Whether you consider the semantics weird or not depends on your use
case, but I suppose it's a bit confusing anyway. At this point, we keep
MPV_EVENT_PAUSE/UNPAUSE for compatibility only.
Make the "core-idle" property somewhat more useful in this context.
Now any action that stops playback of a file (even playlist navigation)
will save the position. Normal EOF is of course excluded from this, as
well as commands that just reload the current file.
The option name is now slightly off, although you could argue what the
word "quit" means.
Fixes#1148 (or at least this is how I understood it).
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.
This is just temporary code but is a good base for future work (and baby
steps are required for these changes). The 'final destination' is embedding
the video view into any NSView but that requires some more work (the mechanism
will be the same: pass the view's pointer casted to int64_t through -wid).
For instance we will need to remove as much usage of the window instance
as possible, and use nil guards where not possible. For this reason I will
remove stuff like the mission control fullscreen feature (it's a cute feature
but annoying to support and quite limited, go make your GUIs), and a way to
lookup the current screen directly from the NSView absolute coordinates
(this is needed for ICC detection mostly, and reporting back the screen to
mpv's core).
Moreover the current view.m will need to be separated into 2 views: the actual
video view that will be embedded, and a parent view that will not be embedded
and will be responsibile for tracking events.
--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.
For the sake of libmpv. Might make things much easier for the user,
especially on Windows. On the other hand, it's a bit sketchy that a
command exists that makes the player access arbitrary memory regions.
(But do note that input commands are not meant to be "secure" and never
were - for example, there's the "run" command, which obviously allows
running random shell commands.)
