Introduces the freemkv mux throughput highway: a three-stage thread
pipeline that replaces the inline single-thread read path for any
file-backed source (ISO and m2ts file URLs both route through it).
Thread A: read + decrypt (PrefetchedSectorSource / BytePrefetcher)
Thread B: M2TS demux (DemuxThread)
Thread C: codec parse (PipelinedPesStream, on caller thread)
Each handoff uses a bounded crossbeam channel with a recycled buffer
pool — no allocations or memcpys in the steady-state hot loop.
Component map:
* io/byte_prefetcher.rs (new) — std::io::Read producer thread with
recycled Vec<u8> pool. Pairs with PrefetchedSectorSource (sector
side) so demux_thread::spawn_zero_copy can wire either upstream.
* sector/prefetched.rs — recycled buffer pool added; into_channels()
peels off the rx/recycle_tx/shell triple for zero-copy demux.
* mux/demux_thread.rs (new) — owns the TsDemuxer/PsDemuxer, runs
feed() on its thread, ships Vec<PesPacket> batches.
* mux/pipelined_stream.rs (new) — the read-side Stream impl. Pulls
packets from the demux thread and runs codec parse on the caller.
* mux/resolve.rs — build_iso_pipeline (public) / build_m2ts_pipeline
(private) assemble the three stages; iso:// and m2ts:// both
return PipelinedPesStream.
* mux/m2ts.rs — collapsed to a write-only sink (Mode::Read deleted;
the read direction lives on the highway now).
* mux/codec/h264.rs — find_start_code uses memchr SIMD memmem::find.
* mux/codec/hevc.rs — tightened frame_data initial capacity.
* mux/ts.rs — boundary-packet handling avoids the per-batch 16 MiB
remainder copy; PesAssembler starts at 16 KiB to dodge the 64-page
first-touch fault tax that the previous 256 KiB pre-alloc paid on
every PES boundary.
* mux/disc.rs — gains DiscStream::new_pipeline + read_pipeline as
the legacy autorip ingress (drive + multipass paths still need
on_event / skip_errors before they migrate to the highway).
* io/file_sector_source/* — per-OS prefetch() syscall hook
(Linux readahead, macOS F_RDADVISE, Windows/other no-op).
* decrypt.rs — FREEMKV_DECRYPT_THREADS renamed to FREEMKV_THREADS;
pool sized to all cores by default.
Measured on rip1 testbed (Civil War UHD, 62 GiB ISO → null://):
60 → 322 MB/s warm cache (old new_pipeline path)
60 → 660 MB/s warm cache (highway path, this commit)
60 → 126 MB/s sustained disk-bound
The IsoSectorReader baseline reader was deleted in favour of
FileSectorSource so the freemkv CLI and autorip exercise the same
read path.
MKV: cluster boundaries now require a video keyframe in addition to the
5s minimum, so every cluster has a CuePoint at its start. Pre-first-
keyframe frames are dropped. Adds a SeekHead at Segment start with
fixed-width back-patched SeekPositions for Info/Tracks/Chapters/Cues.
Before this change a 2h26m UHD rip had 52 CuePoints across ~1750
clusters and a 16.5-minute gap between adjacent seek entries; players
seeking inside that gap had to scan from the prior cue. After, one
CuePoint per cluster.
TS (tsmux production path + m2ts_mux): PesFrame.keyframe is plumbed
end-to-end. Codec-private parameter sets are prepended on the first
keyframe (not the first frame); non-key video before any keyframe is
dropped. The first TS packet of a keyframe video PES carries an
adaptation field with random_access_indicator=1. m2ts_mux previously
hardcoded RAI=1 on every PCR packet; that is now gated on the current
PES being a keyframe video PES, combining correctly with PCR when both
land on the same packet.
Adds 17 tests covering keyframe alignment, cue count/position/timing,
SeekHead correctness, RAI set/clear, codec_private gating, non-key drop,
and PCR+RAI combination.
The 0.18 trait split into FrameSource (read-only) and FrameSink
(write-only) was an over-engineered API. Consumers don't think
"frame source backed by MKV" — they think "open MKV for reading".
The split paid a real API-complexity cost (two trait names, two
re-exports, dual impls per bidirectional type, deprecation bridge)
for one marginal property: compile-time direction-safety at the
trait-object boundary. The runtime error path on a wrong-direction
call (StreamReadOnly / StreamWriteOnly) is unambiguous and rare in
practice.
Deletions:
- pes::Stream is no longer #[deprecated]
- pes::FrameSource trait + its blanket-from-Stream bridge
- pes::FrameSink trait + the trampoline impls on every concrete type
- The compile-time-direction-safety test scaffolding
- Crate-root FrameSource / FrameSink re-exports
Additions:
- Stream is now Send-bounded (Stream: Send supertrait). Every
concrete impl was already Send-compliant — Box<dyn Read + Send>
and Box<dyn Write + Send> were already in place on the trait
objects MkvStream / M2tsStream / etc hold internally. Promoting
Send into the trait makes Box<dyn Stream> Send too, which lets
autorip drop its SendStream unsafe newtype.
The public API is now: one Stream trait, one concrete type per
format, two constructors (open/create or input/output). Bidirectional
types route through internal Mode { Read | Write } discriminants.
Net: -347 lines libfreemkv, -38 lines autorip, -5 lines freemkv.
Per-impl migration of MkvStream / M2tsStream / NetworkStream /
NullStream / StdioStream from the deprecated pes::Stream trait
to the typed pes::FrameSink trait. Both impls coexist during
the 0.18 deprecation window — the existing Stream impls are
unchanged.
The FrameSink::finish signature differs (Box<Self> vs &mut self),
which is why this couldn't be a blanket impl. Each migration
re-borrows the box and delegates to the underlying Stream::finish
body.
FrameSink: Send forced two struct fields (M2tsStream's boxed
Write/Read, MkvStream's boxed WriteSeek/Read) to gain `+ Send`
bounds — minimum surface needed to make the Send-bounded trait
impl-able. mux::resolve::output's local Box<dyn WriteSeek>
construction picks up the same `+ Send`. tests/streams.rs's
shared `stream.write/.finish/.info/.read` calls were
disambiguated to `PesStream::*` to resolve the now-multiple
candidates from coexisting trait impls.
Caller migration (mux::resolve::output return type, autorip,
CLI) is a later slice. This commit only adds new impls; nothing
removed.

Splits the bidirectional pes::Stream into one-direction traits so
calling read() on a write-only sink is a compile error instead of
runtime E9001. Keeps Stream alive as deprecated through 0.18 with a
blanket FrameSource impl so existing concrete types compile unchanged.
FrameSink can't be blanket-impl'd from Stream (different finish
signature), so concrete impls migrate per-type in a follow-up.
Concrete `impl pes::Stream for X` blocks in mux/* and the existing
tests gain a one-line `#[allow(deprecated)]` to keep `-D warnings`
clean during the deprecation window — no behavior changes.

- Disc::copy() hardcoded batch=64 sectors, exceeding BU40N's 60-sector
hw limit. Now accepts batch_sectors param, defaults to 60.
- IFO PGC: playback time at offset 0x04 not 0x02, cell time at cell+4
- DiscStream: set demuxer from content_format (TS for BD, PS for DVD)
- Flush TS/PS demuxers at EOF to avoid losing last PES frame
- M2tsStream: flush demuxer at EOF
- StdioStream: FMKV metadata header for roundtrip compatibility
Architecture:
- One stream per format, bidirectional PES (read/write on same type)
- IsoStream merged into DiscStream (one type, any SectorReader)
- Disc::copy() for disc→ISO raw sector dump
- IOStream trait deleted, all byte-level Read/Write removed
- ContentReader/OpenDisc/open_title/open_input/open_output deleted
- CountingStream wrapper for progress tracking
Error codes:
- All io::Error English strings replaced with Error enum variants
- From<Error> for io::Error conversion
- Unused variants removed, new stream/mux variants added
Deleted: mkvout.rs, pesout.rs, isowriter.rs, mkv-muxer-plan.md
Updated: all docs, README stream table, CHANGELOG
238 tests, 0 clippy warnings.
Streams are streams — they take impl Read, not Read+Seek or File.
- MkvStream::open takes impl Read (was Read+Seek)
- EBML element skipping uses skip_bytes() instead of seek(Current)
- Byte position tracking uses remaining-bytes counter, not stream_position()
- Removed file_size from open (progress is CLI concern)
- M2tsStream::open takes impl Read (was Read+Seek)
- Buffers first 1MB for FMKV header / PMT scan
- Uses chain reader (buffered head + rest) for sequential reading
- Duration unknown without seeking (0.0) — CLI can set from metadata
- Removed ReadSeek trait (no longer needed)
- WriteSeek kept (MKV muxer container format requires seeking internally)
Design fix: codec_privates are now a field on DiscTitle, not a separate
parameter passed through the pipeline. This eliminates the root cause of
the network codec_private bug (forgot to pass the separate param).
API changes:
- output() takes (url, &DiscTitle) — no separate codec_privates param
- MkvOutputStream::create, M2tsOutputStream::create, NetworkOutputStream::connect
all read codec_privates from title.codec_privates
- M2tsMeta::from_title() takes only &DiscTitle — reads privates from title
- Deleted from_title_with_privates (was the wrong-name duplicate)
- Merged read_header + read_header_from_stream into one read_header(impl Read)
- Deleted finish(self) from TsMuxer, keep only finish(&mut self)
Rule: ONE public method per action. No _with_X, _from_Y, _ref variants.
Bug 1: M2TS roundtrip dropped frames — TsMuxer converts length-prefixed
NALs to Annex B, prepends VPS/SPS/PPS from HEVCDecoderConfigurationRecord.
Bug 2: MKV remux lost codec_private — MkvStream.codec_private() now returns
data from EBML header.
FMKV header carries codec_private (base64) per video stream for lossless
M2TS roundtrip.
