Live-TV clock generations were matched to mpv sources first-in-first-out: every
start-file popped the oldest registered open, on the assumption of exactly one
start-file per open in dispatch order. Opens without a generation on the same
player, an Android loadfile rejected silently by nativeCommand, and the
independent delivery of the command ack and the start-file event all broke
that, so a seek that reopened the stream could calibrate against the wrong
source.
The loadfile reply now carries mpv's playlist_entry_id on Android, Apple, Linux
and Windows, PlayerNative.open resolves with it, and the live session binds
each generation to that id explicitly. Source events that land before the
reply are buffered per id and replayed on binding; a rejected or unreachable
load fails its generation instead of leaving a phantom; opens with no
generation are invisible to clock binding. Android now reports a rejected mpv
command as COMMAND_FAILED like the other cores.
iOS/tvOS playback could deadlock on PLAYBACK_RESTART: the event queue held
lifecycleLock across a synchronous mpv_get_property(time-pos) round-trip while
the core waited on the avfoundation VO, which itself waits on the main thread;
the main thread meanwhile blocked on lifecycleLock in isLifecycleActive.
Snapshot the handle under the lock and query without it. The read stays on the
serial event queue, which also serializes destruction, so the handle cannot be
torn down mid-read.
Linux and Windows each wrote the same eleven pre-initialize mpv options
(keep-open, idle, input disabling, OSC, ytdl, audio fallback, and the
audio-only set); ApplyCommonStartupOptions in mpv_player_common.h owns
them once, with the ytdl security rationale kept in one place. Rendering,
windowing, HDR, and log-level options stay per platform.
The Android JNI event thread forwarded every mpv event to Kotlin, where
MpvEvent modelled ten variants but MpvPlayerCore consumes four. The
native switch now forwards only START_FILE, FILE_LOADED, and
PLAYBACK_RESTART (END_FILE keeps its own path), and the unused variants
are gone.
Direct Play on Apple TV develops recurring micro-stutter that worsens
the longer playback runs and clears temporarily on pause/play
(issue #1776). Since 2.4 the avfoundation VO has presented frames
against a media-time CMTimebase anchored and rate-servoed to follow
mpv's audio-slaved schedule; clock skew between the two domains can
only be retired by rate slewing or a re-anchor snap that retimes every
queued frame at once. The media timebase exists for PiP, which tvOS
does not have.
Bump MPVKit to 1.0.22 and opt tvOS into its new
avfoundation-presentation=host mode: samples carry mpv's scheduled
display time against a free-running host-clock timebase, so drift is
absorbed per frame inside mpv and no timing state accumulates in the
VO. The queue lead returns to 128ms; 500ms only dampened media-mode
snaps and quadrupled their blast radius. 1.0.22 also paces the
compressed-passthrough feed off the most-advanced playhead reading,
fixing the periodic audio dropouts passthrough users reported on 2.14.
Hold the pending result in a one-shot latch fired by every terminal path,
including cancellation and deallocation. Stopping a probe mid-download
released the only strong reference and left the method call unanswered.
The Linux native reliability job stopped compiling mpv_player.cc: the
node-conversion builder exposed a leaf named `Bool`, and X11's Xlib.h —
reached through epoxy/egl.h -> EGL/eglplatform.h — defines `Bool` as a
macro for `int`, so the declaration was rewritten into nonsense.
Renames that leaf to `Boolean` across the shared walk and all three
builders. The name is the only thing that changes; no conversion
behaviour differs.
Groundwork for #1300. Establishes the session, buffering and route
handling Dolby's application guide prescribes, and adds the diagnostic
arm needed to find out whether Apple's sample-buffer renderer can carry
Atmos objects at all.
Audio session, per the guide's sequence:
- Adopt the long-form playback profile in one atomic call at app launch
and activate the session there. The SDK only accepts that policy with
category Playback, a Default/MoviePlayback/SpokenAudio mode and no
options, so it cannot be assembled from separate calls.
- Report the resolved rendering mode in the player, hidden unless the
system resolves it. Apple only resolves it for CarPlay and AirPlay, so
an unresolved value means unknown, never "not Dolby".
Diagnostics (Apple TV only, Settings > Video Playback > Atmos Output Test):
- Add a sample-buffer arm. It reads the asset with AVAssetReader at
outputSettings nil and hands the untouched compressed buffers and the
untouched format description straight to the renderer, with a variant
that rebuilds the description the way playback builds it. Every
existing mode went through AVPlayer, so nothing exercised the path
playback actually uses; this is what tells us whether the renderer or
our construction is at fault.
- Add an AirPlay route picker. AirPlay is the only route where the system
resolves the rendering mode and the supported channel layouts, so it is
what makes those observations reachable at all, and the AVPlayer arms
now allow external playback so every arm can be compared on the same
destination.
- Add a session-mode toggle for the one profile difference between the
guide and previous playback behaviour.
- Report the session profile, supported layouts, both format
descriptions, the magic cookie and the renderer status, and release the
session on stop so a failed run cannot contaminate the next one.
Also bumps MPVKit to 1.0.14, which carries the matching audio output
work: the channel layout AVFoundation itself uses for Dolby content, a
renderer-failure observer so the fallback to PCM can actually run, the
prescribed feed ordering and preroll, flush recovery that re-supplies the
discarded audio instead of shifting later audio into its place, and
capability-driven fallback on route and capability changes.
This does not yet fix#1300. Whether the sample-buffer renderer can carry
JOC is still unknown; it removes every difference from the documented
setup that could explain the failure, and gives us the arm to answer it
on real hardware.
Consolidates duplicated logic behind shared implementations — paginated
grid tabs, focus chrome, cached remote stores, sheet selection columns,
the server artifact store and a test fixture layer — and removes code
that had become unreachable. Net reduction of about 5,500 lines with no
behaviour change.
Where a fix had landed separately in code that moved into a shared
helper, the fix was re-applied inside the helper rather than left behind
in the copy that went away.
Introduces shared seams for paginated views, D-pad reorder, media control
routing, async singletons and the device method channel, then points the
open-coded copies at them.
Also removes unused models and duplicated provider/server plumbing, folds
the twice-implemented artifact store in the server, and factors the
repeated Flutter toolchain prologue in CI into a composite action.
Audio-only mpv core on every platform (dedicated
com.plezy/mpv_audio_player channels): parameterized android/windows/
linux mpv plugins and a new apple MpvAudioPlayerCore, all skipping
video/window paths (vid=no, audio-display=no, gapless-audio=weak).
MusicPlaybackService drives an in-memory queue with shuffle/repeat,
file-loaded-event gapless arming (property edges coalesce and the
android bridge drops them), per-track progress reporting, OS media
controls, audio focus, sleep timer, and error auto-skip.
PlaybackCoordinator enforces one live native player: starting video
disposes the audio core first.
Re-enables Audio Passthrough on Apple TV against the MPVKit EAC3-JOC
AVPlayer sink (pin bump to v1.0.8 follows), adds an AVPlayer test
harness + diagnostics screen for #1300, and makes loudnorm yield while
passthrough is active (fixes a latent spdif conflict on desktop too).
