wm4 and carl, can you maybe take this conversation and write
libav/ffmpeg history up somewhere else? no one here cares to read 6
year old history again on ffmpeg-devel.

seriously, please. not here. not again. NO ONE WANTS TO READ THIS.

[FFmpeg-devel] [rfc] coc violation tribunal

2017-04-24 Thread Compn
as a few developers have wondered...

how is our project to judge, report and punish coc violations?

since we had a vote to approve of the COC, we will probably need
another vote to approve of the COC rules.

do you want group consensus?
how big of a group? whos in the group?
who wants to do a bunch of crapwork telling devs to be nice in the
sandbox and stop throwing sand at each other or they'll get a timeout?

do you want irc/ml admins to handle it? e.g. lou and me set moderation
flags on developers and delete mails that are not development related?

who judges the judges?

what if we scare off devs who get frustrated that the COC was not fully
fairly applied to everyone? e.g. one dev gets moderated while another
skates ? thats where the strife gains momentum.

thoughts?

depending on the complexity of the patch.

and assuming it passes fate...

just submit patch here , we'll review it.

even if ffmpeg does not accept it, its possible that other people will

as an mplayer user who had to go looking to find a bunch of sdk headers
and hope that the instructions written 2 years ago still point to a
working URL, i feel a lot of pain in this thread.

svn has svn externals, where a svn checkout would pull from other svn
repositories.

i am assuming git has the same thing? if so these headers could go in
an external repo, but a ffmpeg git pull would pull them down? are there
any objections to that ?

that would cut down on our objections and maintainership and git
history concerns... i think? so long as its easy for non amd users to
flip a config switch to disable pulling those amd headers down.

carl, wm4 and paul please ignore flames. please?

no reason to continue these flames and not on the mailing list
for sure.

nicolas is entitled to his opinion and licensing choices. no single dev
speaks for the entire project.

wm4 is entitled to fork whatever open source project he wants, and hes
welcome to post here and review patches and be a developer.

i also prefer including headers into ffmpeg. only for the big 3 intel

with this. but its also not my call, just my personal opinion.

to make it easier on users who dont have to go around looking for sdk

did you resend your patchset without the header included? sorry i am

maybe the patchset without the included header could get reviewed some
more and possibly applied while we wait for the external repo changes.

remember we are mostly volunteers working on ffmpeg. which means we all

[FFmpeg-devel] CoC enforcement activated

2017-12-17 Thread Compn
http://ffmpeg.org/developer.html#Code-of-conduct

5 Code of conduct

Be friendly and respectful towards others and third parties. Treat
others the way you yourself want to be treated. 

Be considerate. Not everyone shares the same viewpoint and priorities
as you do. Different opinions and interpretations help the project.
Looking at issues from a different perspective assists development. 

Do not assume malice for things that can be attributed to incompetence.
Even if it is malice, it’s rarely good to start with that as initial
assumption. 

Stay friendly even if someone acts contrarily. Everyone has a bad day
once in a while. If you yourself have a bad day or are angry then try
to take a break and reply once you are calm and without anger if you
have to. 

Try to help other team members and cooperate if you can. 

The goal of software development is to create technical excellence, not
for any individual to be better and "win" against the others. Large
software projects are only possible and successful through teamwork. 

If someone struggles do not put them down. Give them a helping hand
instead and point them in the right direction. 

Finally, keep in mind the immortal words of Bill and Ted, "Be excellent
to each other."

as said on irc, emergency moderation is the standard and expected tool
for ml admins to use to stomp out flame wars.

When this option is enabled, all list traffic is emergency moderated,
i.e. held for moderation. Turn this option on when your list is
experiencing a flamewar and you want a cooling off period.


emergency moderation is part of an ml admins job. it is not something i
thought up, invented, or wrote guidelines for. it is not something i
enjoy either.

having mails delayed ~2 minutes never hurt anyone.

i think the argument that historically -cvslog was a place to discuss
commits was true. presently no one discusses commits on -cvslog.

this change seems to be common sense.

i understand carls' argument but i also understand -cvslog mailing
lists have evolved to make things easier and simpler for developers to
not have to follow two lists for discussion.

also possibly git log has replaced -cvslog for many developers.

sure, ffmpeg has support for many pixel formats and adding more
pixfmts is not a problem.

my best answer would be to look at commits which add other pixel
formats and just follow how they were added to libswscale. make some

hopefully you have test samples made of these pixfmts you want to add.
that makes testing for us easier, as we can test on multiple cpu
arch's to make sure the code is safe and works.

if one wants to be worried about security issues, there are bigger fish
to fry.

for one example, how about any and all patches applied to ffmpeg by
various distros ?

https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html

because this is a real threat to our users' security. not some lost
commit key. we should be analyzing all distro patches and making sure
all CVE fixes get applied by distros as well.

our other developer policies help to mitigate any lost/stolen commit
keys anyway. public patch posting and mailing list review, static code
analyzing etc.

has any developer come back from the proverbial "dead" , like say
fabrice, to make a new commit? no. would we take notice if he did? yes
of course. have developers had write access, been hired by large
multinational corporations, stopped developing ffmpeg as a hobby, and
then come back years later to work on ffmpeg as part of their
employment? yes! multiple times.

just my personal opinion. theres really not much difference between
keeping old author accounts or deleting old author accounts from a real
world perspective.

one plan just takes some precious time away from the busy developer.
because he has to make a list, and check it twice, just to find out who
is naughty and who is nice.

he sees when you are active... he sees when you are inactive...

it seems like there are at least a few developers who would feel better
if ffserver was removed from master / moved somewhere else to die etc.

these developers feel very strongly about removing ffserver.

it might be wise to follow the opinions of these developers in order to
have a higher morale and continue the working environment here in the
project.

otherwise some developers may feel betrayed, harmed, ignored, etc and
foster hatred because their opinions were not chosen.

so michael, my advice to you is to just OK the patch and deal with
ffserver later... if enough users come back to complain about its
demise. i feel that this discussion is going no where if both sides are
unable to come to a compromise.

sometimes you have to cut off the toe to save the patient. :)

 if (codec_tag &&

   // prores is allowed to have differing data format and codec tag

   // so is dv (sigh)

what about adding a comment like the prores/dv comments?
(or in a separate patch, make a nicer comment for prores,avid and dv?)

there are more than just these two AVID isoms.

a quick search reveals...

'AV1X': 'Avid 1:1x (Quick Time)',
'AVD1': 'Avid DV (Quick Time)',
'AVDN': 'Avid DNxHD (Quick Time)',
'AVMP': 'Avid IMX (Quick Time)',
'AVUP': 'Avid 10bit Packed (Quick Time)',

possibly AVin
sample here : http://samples.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-bugs/trac/ticket524/AVCI50.mov

do any of these isoms need to be added to the list in mov.c ?

otherwise, looks ok if tested with our av1x/avup samples.

if mp2 is a problem, i would rather make it more difficult for the user
to encode mp2. by defaulting to mp3 and / or printing a warning message
about mp2. honestly i cant remember any good coming from someone using
mp2.

mp2 is dead, long live mp3.

also please share your mp2 sample, if you have not already done so, if
possible.

arent there more than just apch / apcn isom tags?

libavformat/isom.c lists a few:

{ AV_CODEC_ID_PRORES, MKTAG('a', 'p', 'c', 'h') }, /* Apple ProRes 422 High 
Quality */
{ AV_CODEC_ID_PRORES, MKTAG('a', 'p', 'c', 'n') }, /* Apple ProRes 422 Standard

{ AV_CODEC_ID_PRORES, MKTAG('a', 'p', '4', 'h') }, /* Apple ProRes  */

so only 80, 1935 ? rtmp uses some other ports too. 443 etc.

vp3 is a decoder written 10+ years ago by a dev who is no longer
active in ffmpeg.

we have many decoders and encoders (and other code) in ffmpeg that have
not been audited (to my knowledge).

i know this isnt an excuse for not looking at the code. just letting
you know the history.

please dont think carl's tone is unpleasant, maybe he is just
incredulous.

carl has tested and verified thousands of bugs for ffmpeg. carl also
fixes some of them. carl i think was confused by your comment, because
carl would like to reproduce the bug. reproducing the bug with an easy
command line, on a dev computer usually makes the bug finding and fixing
quicker.

do you have any suggestions for how the ffmpeg project could do
successful code audits?

we have static code analyzers like coverity running on ffmpeg. there
has also been a lot of fuzz testing done. i'm sure some of the more
popular decoders like h264 have had code audits done in private.

i really dont see much enthusiasm for line by line code auditing within
ffmpeg. in fact, i'd say people would rather re-write an entirely new
piece of code than try to clean up the old code. this isnt a knock on
anyone or any piece of code, just my observation.

feel free to tell me that i am wrong.

ehe, well.. do your homework before assuming things. ;)

rich felker , who wrote musl, was an mplayer and ffmpeg? developer
actually.

he wrote musl because everyone hated glibc.

i contacted both him and even mike melanson (vp3 decoder author)

i dont doubt its a bug in vp3 that needs to be rewritten.
but we also go to extreme lengths to blame others... ;D

musl could handle it better sure, but should they really write a full
c-checker into their lib? would make it as bloated as glibc!

the mp4 format can either have an index at the start of the file or
at the end of the file. you cannot read (easily) an mp4 file without its
index.

http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=MP4

http servers can be made to support "request range" and thus allow
seeking to the start or end of the mp4 file. existing mp4 files can be
edited to have the index at the start or end.

otherwise, mp4 cannot be streamed. by anyone, in any situation (well,
without serious hacks). the current way mp4 is "streamed" is to
split up mp4 files into a thousand smaller mp4 files and sent to a
player using a playlist.

mp4 cannot be streamed. it sucks.
changing the http server would be easier than changing mp4 indexing.
or using an intermediate format would be easier (mkv perhaps).

hope this helps

the problem i've seen when helping users when the date is inside the
version string (in mplayer) is that the idiot distros build an old
mplayer 1.1-2016-01-01 right? except mplayer 1.1 was released 3
years ago. in 2013.

they just built a 3 year old tarball two months ago and users install
it like it was new!

which is why ffmpeg and mplayer have the copyright year in the version
string to help. slightly. assuming distros dont mess with it.

if we have gzip demuxer and probe gzip compression... then pass it onto
probe after decompressing?

its not like compressed mov because the compressed mov header is inside
of the regular mov container (iirc).

there are a lot of video files that are zipped or rared.
also zip compressed image files , example cbz/cbr.

can we get zip/rar demuxer?

some video players are able to play multipart rar video files.

i understand that its still a low priority.

if we have mismatched line endings in makefiles it might screw up
anyone wishing to make patches if their git has changed the line

i cant remember if this is a problem however, probably not.

generally its ffmpeg rule to not apply hacks for broken build systems
(of which, msys/mingw's outdated libs count as this).

i wonder if we should make a comment that these are different codecs,
in the unlikely eventuality that we split 721 723 and 726 decoders from

as long as we are throwing out questions.

the m70x stuff is similar to m10x . and uses same binary codec:

VIDC.M101=mvcVfw.dll VFW M101 Matrox Uncompressed SD 
VIDC.m102=mvcVfwHD.dll Matrox Uncompressed HD
VIDC.m103=mvcVfwYUVA.dll Matrox Uncompressed SD + Alpha
VIDC.m104=mvcVfwYUVAHD.dll Matrox Uncompressed HD + Alpha
VIDC.M301=mvcVfwRefAVI.dll

any chance for more samples ?  you rock at samples!

derek and all other devs still have commit access. no one has been
banned, removed, sanctioned or anything. derek said he
unsubscribed from the mailing lists, himself.

nothing stopping him from committing this himself.

i would hope developers could work, if not together, at least
tolerate each other. i understand some devels have had disagreements
for years now.

i'd hate to see anyone leave, but i also am not a fan of arguments in
every thread either. i ignore comments most times and stick to
the code.

imo i wouldnt call any discussions in the past years "toxic". a few
gripes, snarks or passive agressive comments from a few developers,
sure. 

show me one software project that doesnt have conflicts between
developers.


if any of my mail has offended anyone, please read it with the most
gracious and open tone, i am not trying to be insulting.

theres always the chance that we will convert it to yasm.

Benjamin also removed himself from libav consulting as well.

http://lists.libav.org/pipermail/libav-devel/2016-June/077471.html

the usual reason for not being a consultant anymore is that the dev got
a full time job. or realized that they do not have enough free time to
work on small consulting jobs.

working on ffmpeg, libav or any other multimedia oss project is an
interesting way to get hired. or to start their own video related
business. :)

devs come and go, the number one reason is lack of free time. thats
whats nice about open source, you can pick it up and drop it whenever.

[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] beginner difficulty bug trac tag for new open source developers

2016-07-03 Thread compn
hello

about once a month (also, around OPW/GSOC time) we get people in
#ffmpeg-devel or the ml asking about contributing to ffmpeg. i think we
need to try to organize something for new contributors.

usually there is only one or two devs alive (including me) to guide
newbies. most times these want-to-be devs already have knowledge of
git, make, etc and have c or c++ programming skills.

what they ask for is an easy way to start or easy bugs to look at.

so my proposed idea is to make a tag or priority on the bug tracker for
"easy" bugs. that way new contributors can look at a list of bugs that
are easy to fix.

what i need from you, fellow reader:

1. do you think this is a good idea? or do you have other ideas to help?
maybe write a newbie developer guide for developer documentation? is
there any knowledge from the OPW/gsoc mentors that we should put in the
developer docs?

2. what the name of this bug tag should be? "easy bugs" ? "beginner
difficulty" ?

3. are there other oss projects out there that already help new
contributors? can we steal something from them?

i'm not sure what criteria would make for an easy bug vs a hard bug.
but i'd rather leave that open to whoever adds/reviews the bug. i think
we all agree adding a codec tag or documentation is easier than adding
3d mvc h264 support.

i'm also not suggesting tagging every bug with a difficulty rating , as
that would take a while and i'm not sure of the benefit. i just want to
have a solid number (100-300+) of bugs that are somewhat easy to
understand, implement, review and finish.

have a great summer (for those in the northern hemisphere),

currently upload.ffmpeg.org points to streams.videolan.org , videolan
is currently hosting our incoming ftp server access.

videolan has been having trouble with it for a while. you can see posts
on the internet complaining about the automatic vlc bug reporter also
being down because of this.

what we need is someone to run a small ftp drop for large files, i
guess i'll post a patch for the ffmpeg.org page requesting such hosting
temporarily.

videolan maintained the server, carl does most of the moving files to
our samples repo and bug trac.

but heres the new news from #videolan:

[05:41]  Compn, http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ should work
more or less

^ this is currently where we should send users to upload files. an http
uploader (not sure about resume support...).

[05:49]  Compn, there will be no ftp access to streams, ever
[05:50]  Compn, we're following the Great Leadership of
kernel.org

^^ this is the news on the ftp that we currently have in our docs. so
we should change all of our docs over to the http uploader.

also i suggest we ask for a backup ftp server from another host (by
applying this or similar patch), for those people who prefer to use ftp.

yes i noticed that too. oh well. i've made the changes to mplayer DOCS, 
although it would be nice to also have a backup ftp server for people using old 
docs and the old ftp url. (todo: update urls in the homepage repo).

> How are we supposed to access the samples?

files uploaded with the vlc http upload
http://streams.videolan.org/upload/

are immediately accessable publically here, with no login.
http://streams.videolan.org/ffmpeg/incoming/

i just tested and all seems to be working. aside from having to put in a vlc 
version for ffmpeg and mplayer.

has anyone reviewed the files in
http://streams.videolan.org/ffmpeg/ 
?

go to http://streams.videolan.org/
and there is a dir for mplayer and mplayer/incoming as well

i mean technically, if they put it on http where you can wget, you can
also ask them for source, since they distributed something based
on ffmpeg to you...

but yeah someone should ask them. i was off looking at 3 different
pinetron websites and didnt even see pinetron.ru :\

[FFmpeg-devel] [rfc] tasks for new ffmpeg developers

2017-02-05 Thread Compn
people new to the project join #ffmpeg-devel and ask us for help on how
to start contributing to ffmpeg.

usually none of us have any cohesive answers. mostly suggestions are to
review bugs or patches or code. nothing really concise or organized.

i've reviewed a few bugs and think these may be good starting points
for new developers to try. they might also be useful for qualification
tasks in the future? i dont know.

i'm not sure how to organize these, maybe a trac keyword? for now ,
i'll just post them here. if you have comments, suggestions, or just
want to tell me that my idea is bad, please speak up.


these have specs / open source implementations:

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/5285
Missing subtitle format. ISMT (xml based)

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/4728
support DICOM format (medical jpg image)

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/1959
Support codec2 (os audio codec)

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/2377
Support lossless mp3HD (abandoned? lossless audio codec)

can you (or someone) come up with a simple starter howto and some
doc or description for what exactly needs to be done? maybe is there a
commit to a decoder showing what was done to make it threadsafe?

the howto would detail how to test for threadsafe , what tools to use,
what an unsafe thread does or looks like in valgrind or gdb etc?
showing devs to use AVOnce and list other ff/av functions to fix unsafe
code.

grep FF_CODEC_CAP_INIT_THREADSAFE * to get the list of codecs that are
thread safe. the rest need to be done, in order of useful codecs first?

i'm not saying we have to hold everyones hand, but a little
documentation, direction and clarity will go a LONG way in getting
things worked on. :)

i know the ffmpeg devs can do all of this in their sleep, backwards.
but if you take the time to write down the steps you take, just
once, maybe someone will read, learn and come to contribute.

i found these quick posts about threadsafe code, maybe they help
the curious. or maybe they arent applicable to ffmpeg at all.

honestly with the fearmongering? are you saying the russian ffmpeg
developers can just commit whatever they want whenever they want?! also
there are some chinese ffmpeg developers! even the president says china
cant be trusted! the russians hacked the election and now they will put
backdoors in ffmpeg!?!?!

(this email is satire btw... i do not believe russia affected the us
election, nor brexit. and china is cool with me.)

if kierank and wm4 want on the -security list, please put them on the
security list. i doubt anyone will vote against their inclusion on the
list. count this as my vote for any current regular developers (e.g.
the ones on irc or the non-irc devs if they have more than 1 year
committing) to be subscribed if they want.

thanks for reading.

if you have comments about anything else, please make a different
thread or talk on irc. 

this is the vote thread only. please oh please, just can we have one
simple vote thread with no off-topic or flames? just once?
