That's what this class really is; in fact that's what the first line of
the comment says it is.
This commit does not rename the main files, since those will contain
other time-related classes in a little bit.
To pass events from LibVideo's PlaybackManager to interested parties, we
currently dispatch Core::Event objects that outside callers listen for.
Dispatching events in this manner rely on a Core::EventLoop. In order to
use PlaybackManager from LibWeb, change this mechanism to instead use a
set of callbacks to inform callers of events.
Fast seeking does not work correctly when seeking in small increments,
so it is necessary to use accurate seeking when using certain actions.
The PlaybackManager has been changed to accept the seek mode as a
parameter to `seek_to_timestamp` to facilitate this. This now means
that it no longer has to track a seek mode preference.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
The fast seeking toggle is in the new Playback menu, and when enabled
it makes the PlaybackManager immediately start playing after finding a
keyframe to decode.
With these changes, the seek bar can be used, but only to seek to the
start of the file. Seeking to anywhere else in the file will cause an
error in the demuxer.
The timestamp label that was previously invisible now has its text set
according to either the playback or seek slider's position.
VideoPlayerWidget was keeping a reference to PlaybackManager when
changing files, so the old and new managers would both send frames to
be presented at the same time, causing it to flicker back and forth
between the two videos. However, PlaybackManager no longer relies on
event bubbling to pass events to its parent. By changing it to send
events directly to an Object, it can avoid being ref counted, so that
it will get destroyed with its containing object and stop sending
events.
No longer will the video player explode with error dialogs that then
lock the user out of closing them.
To avoid issues where the playback state becomes invalid when an error
occurs, I've made all decoder errors pass through the frame queue.
This way, when a video is corrupted, there should be no chance that the
playback state becomes invalid due to setting the state to Corrupted
in the event handler while a presentation event is still pending.
Or at least I think that was what caused some issues I was seeing :^)
This system should be a lot more robust if any future errors need to be
handled.
This adds player widget with working play/pause controls, a seek bar
which currently only displays the current playback position, and a
button to cycle between the scaling modes.
The player uses the new PlaybackManager class to handle demuxing,
decoding, and frame presentation timing.
Currently, the volume control is non-functional.
