Suport subtitles passed in intent's extra

There are apps which pass URIs for subtitle tracks for the video via extras in the intent. Currently 2 major APIs seem to be used by video players on android for this functionality (there is no official android/google one) First one is more popular, but more complex. It is used by MXPlayer and described here: http://mx.j2inter.com/api (the "subs" object) Second one is used by VLC, and consists of just and URI inside ~~PLAY_EXTRA_SUBTITLES_LOCATION~~ "subtitles_location" extra. https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/commit/d950a8d6c780e170f98f1722e08e2a522f10df77 I think at least one of them should be implemented in mpv-android, so that it can be used to watch network streams with subtitles.

EDIT: Actually PLAY_EXTRA_SUBTITLES_LOCATION is internal VLC name, the one in intent is subtitles_location https://wiki.videolan.org/Android_Player_Intents/

In start while building the app I am getting below run time error Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugJniLibFolders'.

java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

So I changed main { jniLibs.srcDirs = ['../../sdk/native/libs/'] java.srcDirs = ['src'] }

in build.gradle if gradle change is the cause of the error then let me know how to resolve this merge debug jni lib error .

Strange intent filter effect on Android 12, cannot be used when host is an ipv4 address

Important information

Android version: 12

mpv-android version: 2022-03-23-release

Which version of mpv-android introduced the problem (if known): 2022-03-06-release Strictly speaking, the bug is not introduced in this version, but has not yet been resolved. After all, the previous version did not adapt to Android 12.

Description

When upgrading to Android 12, I found that mpv as default streaming player no longer works in my personal case.

By querying past issues(#497), I found that this problem should be caused by incompatible intent filter configuration, and should have been resolved in 2022-03-06-release. However, until 2022-03-23-release, my mpv still cannot be opened by the intent of Bubble Upnp.

So I used other apps to controllably send the intent, to compare the intent content and whether the mpv appeared in the menu, and finally identified a specific and very puzzling problem:

If and only if the host of the url in the intent is an ipv4 address, the system(or something else) will prevent all intents who's mimeType is also claimed by another intent filter which containing <data android:host="*"/>being passed to the app.

I have absolutely no idea what this has to do with ipv4 addresses, and haven't found any useful documentation. However, through experimental comparison, the above-mentioned situation will only happen when the host is a legal (0-255.0-255.0-255.0-255) ipv4 address. There is no problem with an ipv6 address or domain name or simply empty host.

Additional information

The problem described above is resolved for me after removing another intent filter which containing <data android:host="*"/>.

Even if the host is an ipv4 address, I have accidentally opened it several times without modifying the manifest, but the probability is extremely low, and I have no clue about it.

File picker broken on newer Android versions due to default home path being /sdcard

Issue found on Lenovo Moto Z Play, stock Android 8.0.0-retbr.

Every time you install mpv-android, the default path is set to /sdcard - this folder is inexistent on newer versions of Android, and causes the file browser to look for files in the system root - which is normally inaccessible, leading to nothing being listed.

This may cause potential users to drop the application, thinking it does not work and does not list the files.

The current mitigation for this issue is to manually go on the configuration menu and set the default path to /storage/emulated/0.

Support for aomedia-av1 codec

Latest ffmpeg has supported av1 encoding and decoding.

It would be better to add support for av1 playback, since there is no video player app on Android supporting av1 playback.

10bit H264 with hardware decoder black video image

According to this table the Mali V52, Mali-V76 and Mali-V77 video processors support H.264 10-bit (Decode & Encode)

https://www.anandtech.com/show/12835/arm-announces-maliv76-video-processor-planning-for-the-8k-video-future

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mali_(GPU)

There is a thread in XDA forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/h-264-10bit-hardware-acceleration-hw-works.4144881/ where some users have tested it. I borrowed from a friend his Samsung Galaxy phone because it has an ARM Mali-G76 GPU.

I just tried this test file https://www.koi-sama.net/files/hi10/[720p][07_REF_L4.0]Sword%20Art%20Online%20BD%20Opening.mkv

Unfortunately it shows a black video image with artifacts, but HW is active. What did I do wrong? Maybe I have to set something in mpv-android to make it work, I just used the default setting.

Here is an adb logcat. adb logcat.txt

mpv doesn't act as a normal video player with other apps

NewPipe, a free, open-source YouTube parser has the ability to use external video and/or audio apps to play movies and/or music. I would like to use mpv with this function, however that is not possible for some reason.

In the screenshot I have provided you can see that when I press the big play button on the video, a menu pops up at the bottom asking me to select an app to play the video. However mpv can't be found here no matter what I do.

Would this be possible to fix?

this is probably where drop occurs, i ofc have searched about it but i couldn't find anything relevant, generally it happens when you are streaming something over internet(slow network) but like in this case im just playing a local file

Can't Play from Samba Share

Android version:

mpv-android version: 2022-07-30-release

Which version of mpv-android introduced the problem (if known):

This is the first version I have tried.

Describe your issue in detail here:

I am unable to play video from a samb share. The samba share is succesfully mounted via the android storage settings.

However, in the android file manager, when I browse to a video and select it, I am presented with VLC and MPV. When I select VLC it plays fine. When I select MPV, the screen flashes and returns to the file manager.

In addition, when I visit the samba share directly in MPV, I get the message:

"Can't use this folder. To protect your privacy choose another folder/"

The video file names are listed, but nothing happens when they are selected.

Please, any help is greatly appreciated!

P.S. This is on NVIDIA Shield TV (Android 11 - Shield Experience Upgrade V9.1)

Switched to use libmpv's seek command instead of a custom solution.

Passing of the device's screen's refresh rate to libmpv has been implemented.

Only for Android 6+ as the refresh rate API is API level 23 and up.

Can be disabled in the settings.

Debanding has been Implemented.

Utilizes gradfun=radius=12 as the OpenGL shader seems to have compatibility issues.

A simple overlay for estimated VF FPS has been implemented.

Can be enabled in the settings under developer settings.

Support for HTTPS through nettle+gnutls has been added.

Mozilla's CA bundle is utilized for trust verification.

MPEG-2 Video decoding with MediaCodec has been enabled as FFmpeg merged the feature.

I guess this helps... somewhere?

A menu has been added for URL entry next to the settings.

Compatibility libraries and the Kotlin runtime have been updated.

Enables debugging in release configuration (we never planned on disabling this, so this is a fix)

Updates dependencies

Custom VO/AO preference settings are removed for now, as libmpv changed its API regarding these sub-options.

These quite possibly didn't work in the previous build, either.

edit Fsck el Goog and their policy of no debug'able builds on store. Had to revert that commit and the mpv-android-2017-01-10-2 tag marks the spot where I built the binary for the store, which does not allow debug.

Removes a seemingly unnecessary permission. @xyzz can't remember why he added it originally, this off it goes.

Still not aarch64 binaries because @jeeb is lazy.

First build that I am planning to post on Google Play unless I failed hard. The signing key has changed, so an upgrade will not work. Sorry. The ones I have noted changing with an arrow include the version utilized until now (and not upgraded for months).
