All six confirmed against the code. The governing rule this cluster serves: a
lossy or degraded outcome is never silent, because a corrupt rip the user does
not know about is the worst failure available.
**A 3D MKV re-mux silently lost one eye.** The BlockGroup read path had arms for
BLOCK / BLOCK_DURATION / REFERENCE_BLOCK only, so BLOCK_ADDITIONS fell into the
skip arm — while the writer does emit BlockAdditions > BlockMore > BlockAdditional
for the MVC dependent view. Reconstruction was judged out of scope and the
reasoning is recorded: PesFrame has no side-payload field and the header parser
never reads BlockAdditionMapping, so there is no dependent-view track to route the
AU to. Instead the loss is now LOUD — counted in bytes and events, warned once,
and surfaced through MkvStream's errors()/lost_bytes(), which the driver already
samples into MuxOutcome. One detail in the finding was wrong and is corrected: the
re-mux does NOT still advertise the mvcC mapping, because the header parser
ignores that element, so the output is a plain 2D H.264 track.
**An all-titles rip silently skipped real titles.** The header-buffer-cap
overflow returned Error::MkvInvalid, and is_skippable_title_stub matches exactly
E_MKV_INVALID | E_CSS_KEY_MISSING — verified here — so a 512 MiB-of-frames title
was classified as an empty nav/menu PGC stub and dropped. It now has its own
E9051 / MuxHeaderBufferExceeded { bytes }, outside the skippable set.
**The public pre-mux report contradicted the file.** Mp4Sink::finish() drops an
audio track it cannot describe, which I chose last round over failing an export
whose video is fine — but mp4_fit_report still listed that stream as included, so
the application's plan and the actual output disagreed. Fixed at both levels:
Mp4SkipReason is now non_exhaustive with NoSamples and UndescribableAudio,
Mp4Sink::final_report() describes the FILE rather than the plan, and for the
boxed dyn Stream path a defaulted Stream::undelivered_streams() carries the
information out to MuxOutcome::undelivered_streams with a driver-side warn.
**MP4 track ids could collide.** ids were assigned before the retain that drops
sample-less tracks, while next_id came from the post-retain count, so [1,3]
yielded next_id 3. Now max(track_id) + 1, saturating.
**Stream selection silently skipped its codec_privates prune** when the lists were
not the same length — but codec_privates is consumed POSITIONALLY and trailing
extras are documented as benign, so the length-equality guard was itself the bug.
The prune now runs unconditionally by index.
**The m2ts_mux scaffolding armed params_written on both the absent and the
unparseable codec_private arms** — the same defect already fixed in tsmux.rs.
Split into params_attempted (a latch, since retrying identical bytes cannot help)
and params_emitted, with a warn on each failure arm and an accessor so the
eventual wiring and its test can observe it.
Each fix verified red by mutating back to the prior behaviour: errors() 0 vs 1,
E6008 vs E9051, final_report [0,1] vs [0], next_track_id 3 vs [1,3], and the
selection prune resolving index 1 to the wrong track's record.
API surface deliberately widened: MuxOutcome gains a public field and Mp4Sink
becomes public. Nothing in-repo breaks. Note a behaviour change on the mkv://
input path — a 3D re-mux now reports non-zero loss, so a consumer treating
errors > 0 as disc damage will trip on it. That is intended: the outcome IS
degraded.
**dec3 declared a 0 kbit/s AC-3 substream.** parse_dolby routes bsid < 11 to
parse_ac3, which leaves data_rate_kbps = 0 and keeps the AC-3 bsid, yet
dolby_sample_entry wrapped that config in ec-3/dec3 for any Codec::Ac3Plus track.
ETSI TS 102 366 Annex F.4 assigns ac-3/dac3 to an AC-3 bitstream and F.6 assigns
ec-3/dec3 to an Enhanced AC-3 one, so the entry now follows the SYNCFRAME that was
actually parsed, not the playlist's codec label. Computing an AC-3 data rate and
keeping ec-3 was rejected: it fixes one field while bit_stream_identification and
num_dep_sub keep misdescribing the stream. The bsid threshold is hoisted into one
constant so parser and entry-chooser cannot drift. Adjacent defect fixed in the
same box: data_rate is 13 bits from a u16 source, so push's mask WRAPPED anything
above 8191 (9000 became 808); it now saturates.
**colr tagged HLG as PQ, and PAL as BT.601.** video_colr carried a second,
drifted copy of the ColorSpace-to-CICP map: transfer 16 (PQ) for every BT.2020
stream with no HdrFormat override, and 6 (BT.601) for Bt470bg. Per ITU-T H.273
Table 3, HLG is 18 and BT.470-6 System B/G is 5 — and mkv::cicp_for_video already
got both right. video_colr now delegates to that shared resolver, so the
duplicated table is gone and cannot drift again. It keeps only its own decision
about WHETHER to emit the box, since an absent colr and an all-unspecified colr
mean the same thing per ISO/IEC 14496-12.
**Exact 24.000 / 30.000 / 60.000 fps was declared 23.976 / 29.97 / 59.94.**
detect_rate took the FIRST STD_RATES entry within 0.5 fps, and every 1000/1001
entry precedes its integer twin 0.024 fps away — a 0.1% error across the whole
track's mdhd and stts. Fixed as nearest-wins rather than by reordering the table:
reordering fixes today's table and re-breaks the moment someone appends a rate,
while nearest-wins is order-independent. Verified red here independently by
reverting to first-match, which fails exactly the two timing tests.
**ddts MultiAssetFlag was set from has_extension.** In the DTSSpecificBox
(ETSI TS 102 114) that flag signals more than one audio ASSET. A DTS-HD MA/HRA
track is one asset whose extension substream carries the XLL/XBR component, so
setting it from "an EXSS sync follows the core" sent a parser looking for a second
asset descriptor while StreamConstruction simultaneously said there was no
extension — the box contradicting itself. This module parses the core header only
and never reads the EXSS asset table, so 0 is the only honest declaration. A
StreamConstruction index for core+EXSS was deliberately NOT invented: that field
is a table lookup that could not be confirmed against the standard, and a wrong
index is worse than an under-declaration.
DTS_AMODE_LAYOUT's masks were independently re-derived against ETSI TS 102 114
§5.3.1 and all 16 are CORRECT — only three adjacent comments were wrong (the
AMODE 2/3/4 annotations were rotated by one, and AMODE 9's said "5.1 with LFE"
when 0x0007 is the 5.0 mask and LFE is OR'd in separately). Comments corrected.
Every one of the eight new tests decodes the field back OUT of the emitted bytes —
data_rate from the dec3 body's leading 13 bits, MultiAssetFlag from bit 48 of the
ddts tail, colr from the nclx payload inside a real stsd, and the frame rate from
mdhd.timescale plus stts.sample_delta of a fully muxed MP4 — rather than
restating arithmetic. This audit has already caught one of my own tests doing the
latter.
NOT fixed, root-caused and recorded at the site instead: an A_PCM/INT/BIG track
ships with no BitDepth, which the Matroska Codec Specifications make a MUST. The
width exists on disc (BD LPCM signals it in the ES header byte 3, DVD in the IFO
audio attribute byte 1) but neither source reaches MkvTrack::audio, and the fix
needs a new AudioStream member plus a deferred setter in files another agent held
this round. Guessing 16 was rejected — it would confidently misdecode every
24-bit disc — as was refusing the track, which would regress the 16-bit majority
that currently plays by accident.
resolve_content_key_map loops every title into resolve_mux_key_map, which called
resolve_fmts_key_map FIRST — before the CpsUnitCache — and on an FMTS disc
returned immediately. So every playlist re-derived facts that belong to the DISC:
a full UDF walk plus /AACS/IndividualSegment.tbl, and on an FMTS disc the anchor
probe, the 32-index phase probe, and a fetch.fmts_indexes round trip.
On a 60-playlist disc, measured on a synthetic fixture: 840 -> 14 metadata reads,
2,400 -> 40 probe reads, and 60 -> 1 key-service calls. Worst case before was up
to 256 probe reads and 32 key-service calls per title. The 60 redundant
key-service round trips are a strong candidate for the keyserver storm seen in
the field.
Two memos behind a pub(crate) DiscKeyCache. The table memo (UDF walk + tbl parse)
is disc-invariant outright — nothing in that path mentions the title — and runs on
EVERY disc, so a plain BD benefits too. Only the deterministic negatives are
memoised as "not FMTS"; a DiscRead fault propagates uncached so a later title
retries.
A blind once-per-disc hoist of the PROBES was rejected as unsafe, and this is the
load-bearing reasoning: the title enters through clip_byte_to_lba, which decides
which segments are addressable and which LBA every probed clip byte reads from, so
two titles with different extent lists probe different physical bytes. A hoist
would serve title B an answer derived from title A's media and could silently turn
a per-title FmtsKeyMissing into a success. The extent list is the ONLY per-title
input, so keying on it is exactly sufficient — matching the ForcedProbeCache
precedent.
Result-identity was proved, not assumed: NEITHER probe reads the key pool.
Verified here independently — probe_fmts_index_keys takes no keys parameter at
all; index keys come from `fetch`, and the anchor's reply feeds the phase probe.
So the pool's growth across titles, the one thing that does change between calls,
cannot move a memoised value, and the result is order-independent. A test resolves
three titles through a shared memo and through fresh memos and asserts both the
per-title ranges and the final key pool (keys, slots, order) are identical.
Not memoised, deliberately: fail-loud FmtsKeyMissing, and any run where an index
hit a read fault — that is a property of a transient drive fault, not of the
extents, and caching it would spread one bad read across 59 playlists.
A fully-memoised title now does zero I/O, which made the old in-loop halt polls
unreachable for it, so a check_halt on entry was added with a test that cancels
after warming the memos.
Also corrects my own overstatement from last round: the CpsUnitCache doc now says
plainly that on an FMTS disc it removes NO reads, because this function returns
before the extent loop ever runs.
Five mutations, all verified red. Pre-existing bug flagged but not fixed:
filter_addressable_segments only checks that a segment's START byte maps to some
LBA in the title, so a play-all playlist can pass the filter while mapping segment
bytes into the wrong clip, whose anchor then returns empty and aborts the sweep.
The AC-3 parser's own module doc stated the assumption: "AC3 frames are
self-contained and always start with syncword 0x0B77". True for legacy AC-3,
false for E-AC-3 above 5.1. Per ETSI TS 102 366 (A/52) Annex E, byte 2 of an
E-AC-3 syncframe is strmtyp(2) | substreamid(3) | frmsiz[10:8], and an access
unit is one INDEPENDENT substream plus every DEPENDENT substream that follows it
until the next independent one. The parser emitted one PES frame per syncframe,
so a decoder saw each dependent substream as a standalone frame with no parent —
including the AC-3-core + E-AC-3-dependent form Blu-ray uses for Dolby Digital
Plus. The extra channels were lost and the timeline ran at 2x.
The bit position is cross-checked against code already in the tree: the existing
frmsiz parse takes byte2 & 0x07 as its high bits, which is only consistent with
strmtyp occupying byte2's top two bits. Legacy AC-3 is excluded by bsid < 11,
where byte 2 is crc1 and reading strmtyp there would be nonsense. Reserved
strmtyp 3 is treated as INDEPENDENT so an unknown type starts a fresh AU rather
than merging into an unrelated one.
The AU carries the INDEPENDENT substream's PTS, and only the independent
substream advances the clock — dependents cover the same time period and add zero
duration. That is what removes the doubled timeline.
A trailing AU that can still grow is HELD across the PES boundary, because the
boundary is unknowable until the next independent sync; the whole AU is re-scanned
next call, so there is no shift and no double-count in the loss tally. Plain AC-3
is never held, which keeps DVD/AC-3 latency and behaviour unchanged.
A latent pre-existing bug surfaced while testing this: a new PES's PTS was
re-stamping an AU that began in an earlier PES, a constant one-frame shift. Fixed
with a PtsAnchor so a PES timestamp applies to the first AU that STARTS in that
PES's own bytes, while a genuine PTS jump is still adopted.
Nine tests. Verified red against five mutations, each killing a specific set:
reverting to the pre-fix behaviour kills 8 while
plain_ac3_frames_are_not_grouped_or_delayed SURVIVES as the no-regression guard —
reproduced independently here. Stamping the dependent's PTS kills 6; not holding
across PES kills 4; holding plain AC-3 too kills 15; neutering the PTS anchor
kills exactly the 2 split-across-PES timing tests.
Three sibling defects found and deliberately NOT fixed, all in mp4/audio.rs:
dec3 hardcodes num_dep_sub = 0 (and a nonzero value changes the box LAYOUT, not
just a field, per Annex F/G); parse_eac3 ignores strmtyp/substreamid entirely;
and a 7.1 DD+ track is still labelled 5.1 because the channel count comes from
the independent substream while the extra channels are described by the
dependent's chanmap, which nothing parses.
Not verified: no real E-AC-3-with-dependents sample exists here, so all evidence
is synthetic frames plus the spec layout. The multi-independent-substream case
(num_ind_sub > 1, main + associated audio in one PID) is deliberately treated as
one AU per independent substream and is untested.
Round 3 audited the round-1/2 fix commits rather than trusting them, and found
three defects in that new code. This is why the pin moves each round.
1. LICENCE REGRESSION, and it was mine. Reverting the "distinguish a failed key
source" commit also restored a verbatim reference-decoder table citation in
src/mux/codec/dts.rs, because both changes were in that one commit. The MIT
licence cleanup was silently undone at HEAD and nothing caught it.
The citation is replaced with ETSI TS 102 114 §5.3.1 again, and — more
importantly — the rule now lives in the leak gate instead of in my memory.
scan-secrets.sh gains LICENCE_RE, which flags ff_dca*, dcadec, l-smash,
libav*, and bare ffmpeg/FFmpeg as REF-IMPL-CITATION. `no ffmpeg` is
explicitly allowed via negative lookbehind: stating what this project does
NOT depend on carries no risk and is a genuine selling point. Verified by
re-introducing the citation (gate fails) and removing it (gate clean).
2. TsMuxer armed params_written even when the avcC/hvcC parser returned None, so
a track whose codec_private exists but will not parse was muxed to BD-TS with
no VPS/SPS/PPS ever emitted — undecodable video, reported as success, with no
log line. Last round's fix corrected WHICH parser is used and left this half
untouched. Arming the flag is still right (retrying identical bytes cannot
succeed) but it is no longer silent: it now warns with the track, codec and
codec_private length.
3. test_aes_cbc_roundtrip defined a LOCAL fn aes_cbc_encrypt that SHADOWED the
production primitive, so it round-tripped a copy of the algorithm against
itself and never touched crypto::aes_cbc_encrypt — the function this cycle
added. Any mutation to the shipped code passed it. The shadow is deleted and
the test now calls the real primitive; verified by mutating
crypto::aes_cbc_encrypt, which now fails it and previously would not have.
The Windows UI needs winsafe, whose current release requires rustc 1.87. The
alternative was pinning winsafe back to an older release, which would bake a
stale API surface into a brand-new UI permanently to dodge one minor version.
The pin's purpose is to sit BELOW the Mac default so clippy drift is caught
locally before CI, not to stay on 1.86 specifically, so 1.87 preserves the
discipline exactly.
Verified before moving anything, not after: `cargo +1.87 clippy -- -D warnings`
and `cargo +1.87 fmt --check` are clean across all eight repos, and the full
precommit gate (fmt + clippy + tests) passes on libfreemkv, autorip, bdemu,
freemkv-engine and freemkv-keysources. Zero new lints, zero formatting drift.
resolve_content_key_map calls resolve_mux_key_map once per title, and on a
multi-CPS disc that path issues 8 random single-unit reads per extent. A disc's
playlists overwhelmingly reference the same few clips — main feature, play-all,
per-chapter and seamless-branch variants — so the same physical extents were
re-sampled from the drive once per playlist. On a 60-playlist / 15-clip disc
that is ~2,400 non-sequential 6144-byte reads, roughly 8 minutes of pure seeking
at 200 ms per seek, before the mux starts. Now ~600 reads.
Keyed per EXTENT — (format, start_lba, sector_count) — rather than per title's
whole extent list, which is finer-grained than the forced-subtitle probe's cache
and strictly better here: a play-all playlist sharing 4 of 5 extents with the
main feature still hits on those 4.
Why a cached pool index is provably identical to a recomputed one, verified
rather than assumed:
* `pick` iterates the pool IN ORDER and returns the FIRST index whose key
decrypts a sample to clean.
* The pool is APPEND-ONLY. Checked across the whole crate: only `push`, with no
insert/remove/clear/retain/sort/dedup/truncate/drain/swap/reverse anywhere.
So appended keys can only land AFTER a matched index, and the first match for
the same samples cannot shift.
* The samples are a pure function of the three values in the key, read from
read-only optical media.
Two outcomes are deliberately NOT cached, which is what makes this safe rather
than merely faster:
* the inherited index (`None if samples.is_empty() => last_idx`) is per-TITLE
state, not a property of the extent — caching it would let one title's
carry-in index leak into another title's clear extent, i.e. a WRONG key;
* the fail-loud DecryptFailed verdict, so a retry after a key source banks the
missing key re-samples instead of inheriting a stale answer.
Halt is still polled before the cache lookup, so cancellation is unchanged.
resolve_mux_key_map keeps its exact signature and delegates with a fresh cache,
so there is no public API change. ContentFormat gains Eq + Hash (additive).
Four tests, and the two mutants that matter both verified red: disabling the
cache short-circuit fails the hit and recompute-equivalence tests, and wrongly
caching the inherited index fails multi_cps_inherited_index_is_not_cached.
Every BlockGroup frame back-patched its element size via ebml::end_master, which
does two stream_position() calls and two real seeks. BufWriter does not override
Seek::stream_position, so each position query is seek(Current(0)) = flush_buf +
lseek — and each of those flushed the 4 MiB BufWriter while every position-moving
seek reset WritebackPipeline::last_flush_pos. The buffer never got to do its job.
An MPEG-2 title takes this path for EVERY frame (the parser stamps a per-frame
duration, so I, P and B all become BlockGroups) — roughly 350,000 per feature.
A BlockGroup's size is knowable before writing, so there is no need to back-patch
at all. New seek-free twins start_master_buf / end_master_buf patch a placeholder
by buffer INDEX instead of file offset, and build_block_group assembles the whole
element into a persistent buffer that write_block_group and its MVC sibling take,
fill, write once, and hand back — including on the error path — so the allocation
is made once rather than per frame.
Measured with a counting writer that, like BufWriter, does not override
stream_position, over 200 frames:
seek calls position-moving
plain before 912 451
plain after 112 51
MVC before 2516 1253
MVC after 116 53
Per-frame cost is now zero; the residual is the header, the per-cluster
back-patch and Cues. For 350k BlockGroups that is 1.4M seek calls removed on the
plain path, 4.2M on an MVC title.
end_master is deliberately NOT changed for its other callers. The Cluster master
genuinely streams — frames are appended to an open cluster over time, so its body
cannot be buffered without holding a whole cluster in memory — and the rest
(EBML header, Tracks, Info, Chapters, Cues) run once, not per frame.
Byte-identity is the safety property, and it is structural: end_master always
patches a FIXED-width 8-byte VINT, and the buffered pair writes and patches
exactly that same placeholder, so the encodings cannot differ. Verified by
capture-then-compare over 200 frames (17 keyframes / 183 non-keyframes, multiple
clusters, BlockDuration present and absent, both reference branches) — output
byte-for-byte identical.
Three tests now pin it permanently: buffered vs seeking output byte-for-byte for
empty/tiny/multi-byte bodies, the same for NESTED masters (the MVC path nests
BlockAdditions > BlockMore, where an index-arithmetic slip would surface), and
end_master_buf erroring rather than panicking on a position outside the buffer.
All three verified red against a deliberately divergent placeholder width.
A note on verifying this kind of change: comparing emitted MKV across two
worktrees at different commits shows a spurious 14-byte difference, because
MuxingApp/WritingApp embed the build's git SHA twice. Compare at the same base.
probe_and_set_forced broke out of its read loop on a read error but still
applied whatever partial observation it had accumulated as an authoritative
verdict, overwriting the vendor-label-derived forced flag. A disc that faults
early could have a correct flag replaced by a guess from a fraction of the data.
The file already got the zero-observation case right — it deliberately leaves
the vendor flag alone rather than "assert not-forced from having seen nothing".
The defect was that a PARTIAL observation cut short by a fault was treated as
complete.
The fix rests on the two verdicts not being symmetric evidence.
settled_not_forced() is POSITIVE evidence — a non-forced display set was
actually seen, and no unread data can retract it. is_forced() is an ABSENCE
claim — display sets were seen and none was non-forced — which is only sound if
the read got far enough for the absence to mean something.
So every loop exit now yields a named StopReason, and absence claims are
asserted only for a designed stop:
* Exhausted / Budget → conclusive. The budget is deliberately conclusive: the
natural exit is "every track settled not-forced", which a genuinely forced
track never satisfies, so the budget is the ONLY path by which a real forced
verdict is ever reached. Treating it as inconclusive would disable forced
detection entirely.
* Halted / ReadFailed → inconclusive. A cancelled probe's cut-off point is as
arbitrary as a faulted one, so its absence claim is worth no more.
Evaluated per track, matching the existing observed() gate: a track that already
saw a non-forced set keeps its sound verdict even on a truncated run, while a
forced-so-far sibling keeps the vendor flag.
An inconclusive run is also NOT memoised. The cache key is the extent list and a
disc's playlists share clips, so caching a truncated run would replay one read
fault onto every playlist referencing those extents and deny any later title the
chance to re-read them.
Four tests; three of them verified red by forcing absence_is_conclusive() back
to always-true (the old semantics), while the budget test correctly stays green
either way — confirming the guard was not over-corrected.
Also moves the function doc comment back onto probe_and_set_forced; the earlier
probe commit left it attached to the ForcedProbeCache type alias.
The `Ok(_) | Err(_)` arm in resolve_and_apply_traced conflates "this source
had no entry for the disc" with "this source failed", and reports both as
KeyNode::NoEntry. An operator whose key server is returning 502s is therefore
told their disc is not in the database.
The conflation is real but LATENT, and fixing it here would change nothing an
operator can see, because no shipped KeySource ever returns Err:
KeydbSource::get_unit_keys maps a load/parse failure to Ok(Vec::new()),
OnlineSource::get_unit_keys is Ok(self.query(ctx)) where query returns empty on
transport error, HTTP status, oversize body and bad JSON alike, and MultiSource
discards inner Errs. Only test doubles return Err. FetchOutcome::errored in
drive_unit_keys / drive_fmts_indexes is dead for the same reason — the right
contract, honoured by no source.
autorip already works around the missing signal by re-probing the service over
HTTP (probe_online_reachability / key_service_transient_status), and its own
comment names the incident: "the online keysource swallows every failure
(transport error, 502, timeout)".
So the fix belongs at the source boundary in freemkv-keysources, with
Disc::aacs_error as the channel the operator actually reads — not in this
trace. Documented here so the next reader does not assume the arm works, and
does not "fix" a dead path as I nearly did twice.
This crate is MIT licensed. Comments citing another decoder's internal symbols
and reproducing its tables verbatim create licence risk that no engineering
benefit justifies, so every such citation is replaced with the primary source:
ETSI TS 102 114 §5.3.1.
Eleven sites across src/mux/codec/dts.rs and src/mux/mp4/audio.rs. The technical
substance is unchanged in every case — the deficit-sample-count semantics, the
reserved-field skips, the invalid LFF value, and the 16 legal AMODE codes are all
spec facts and are now attributed as such. Four CHANGELOG entries that named a
validator are reworded; the "no a reference decoder" dependency claim stays, since stating
what this project does NOT depend on carries no risk.
I initially argued this was a false positive on the grounds that the project's
hygiene rules name internal infrastructure and reverse-engineering material, not
open-source citations, and that a channel-count table from a standard is fact
rather than expression. That reasoning missed the point: the exposure is MIT
distributing text derived from GPL/LGPL sources, and that is the maintainer's
risk to weigh, not mine. Reversed in full.
resolve_and_apply_traced collapsed `Ok(_) | Err(_)` into a single
KeyNode::NoEntry step, so a key source that FAILED — server unreachable, keydb
unreadable, malformed entry — was recorded identically to one that simply had no
entry for this disc. The front-end renders that trace, so it told the operator
their disc is not in the database when the real cause was a fixable
infrastructure problem. drive_unit_keys and drive_fmts_indexes were refactored
this cycle to preserve exactly this distinction; this path had not been.
KeyNode gains a SourceFailed variant and the two arms are split. freemkv's
trace renderer matches KeyNode exhaustively with no catch-all, so its arm is
added in the same change — otherwise the consumer would not build.
Also made ETSI TS 102 114 the primary authority for DTS_AMODE_COUNT's comment
rather than a reference decoder internal symbol, and pointed it at this
crate's own cross-checked DTS_AMODE_LAYOUT / DTS_AMODE_CH tables.
A round-2 finding asked for every a reference decoder and a reference decoder citation in the DTS parser
to be stripped as a public-repo hygiene violation. Rejected: the project's rules
(scan-secrets.sh, CLAUDE.md) prohibit internal infrastructure references and
reverse-engineering material, and a reference-decoder citation is neither. The
AMODE channel-count table is a factual table from the standard, not expression
copied from an implementation. Citing the spec plus a corroborating
implementation is how a decodability gate should be justified.
The ReferenceBlock offset was computed for ANY video track, but the keyframe tick
it measures against was recorded in a single global slot gated to the PRIMARY
video track. On a title with two video tracks — an MVC base plus secondary view,
or a multi-angle disc — a secondary track's non-keyframe therefore referenced a
keyframe on a different track, or 0 (a self-reference) when the primary had not
produced one yet. The tick is now recorded per track, so a non-keyframe can only
reference a keyframe on its own track.
The faststart moov-hole estimate modelled every audio track as (E-)AC-3 at 1536
samples per frame. 1.6.0 added DTS to the writer's carried set, and a DTS core AU
is commonly 512 samples — a third of that — so a DTS track's sample table was
under-reserved threefold and the mux fell back to moov-at-end, losing faststart
on exactly the files 1.6.0 newly supports.
mvc_frame_emits_blockgroup_additional_and_reference asserted only that the
non-keyframe's ReferenceBlock was Some(_). Its non-MVC sibling, added in the same
commit, pins the exact offset; this one now does too, so a mutant emitting a
constant or wrong-signed offset no longer passes.
The comment above the mp4 sample budget claimed file_len stops a crafted file
inflating allocations "past the file's own size". Each indexed sample costs ~52
bytes, so the real ceiling is ~52x file_len (still capped by MAX_SAMPLE_COUNT).
The bound is real; the comment overstated how tight it is.
StreamSelection::apply validated a listed PID by scanning ALL streams, so a PID
named in the wrong class's filter passed validation — an audio filter listing a
subtitle PID, say. `keeps` then matched it against the audio streams only, so
the requested track was silently absent from the output. That is precisely the
outcome this validation documents itself as preventing: "fail loud rather than
silently emit an MKV missing a requested track".
Each filter is now checked against its own stream class. The `listed_pids`
helper existed only for the cross-class scan and is removed rather than left
behind as dead code.
Test covers both directions plus the sanity case, and asserts a rejected
selection leaves the title unpruned.
The NAL path called length_prefixed_to_annex_b, which allocates a whole-frame
Vec of its own, then copied the result into a second whole-frame Vec — two
full-frame allocations and two full-frame copies per video frame. The crate
already has append_length_prefixed_as_annex_b, which writes the conversion
straight into a destination buffer; it is the same code path with the
intermediate removed.
The destination is also sized once up front instead of starting from Vec::new(),
which re-grew from zero capacity inside every conversion.
On a UHD HEVC title muxed to m2ts:// — ~200k video frames averaging ~310 KB of
ES at 60 Mb/s — that removes roughly 62 GB of allocation and 62 GB of memcpy.
Behaviour is unchanged: the existing tsmux conversion tests, including the
non-NAL passthrough and Annex-B default pair added last round, all still pass.
A first attempt reused a persistent scratch buffer across frames, which does not
work: the buffer is handed out as Cow::Owned and so can never be returned. A
right-sized single allocation gets most of the win without restructuring the
function around the borrow.
ddts CoreSize wrapped to zero on a maximum-size core. core_size is FSIZE + 1 and
FSIZE is itself 14 bits, so the maximum is 16384 — one past what the 14-bit
CoreSize field holds — and push()'s mask turned that into 0, declaring an empty
core frame. Clamped to 16383 instead: one byte short beats telling a decoder
there is no core. Proven red first (the field read back as 0).
ddts avg/max bitrate under-declared every non-integral frame rate. It computed
sample_rate / frame_samples first, so a 512-sample core at 48 kHz truncated
93.75 frames/s to 93. Multiplying before dividing, with round-to-nearest, keeps
the precision.
set_decrypt_threads skipped the pool swap on a poisoned lock while
DECRYPT_THREADS had already been updated, so the new thread count was reported
as taking effect while the stale pool kept serving. decrypt_pool() deliberately
recovers from poisoning for exactly this reason; the setter now does the same.
The pool Arc is immutable once stored, so a prior panic cannot have left it
half-written.
The CoreSize test decodes the value back out of the emitted box rather than
restating the clamp — a first draft asserted the clamp arithmetic against
itself, which would have passed against the unfixed writer.
Two defects in the encrypt_unit promoted to public API last round, both found by
round 2 auditing that new code.
It returned silently without encrypting when the slice was shorter than
ALIGNED_UNIT_LEN. Its own contract requires the caller to set the container's
encrypted flag BEFORE calling — the header is the key seed — so a silent no-op
leaves a unit advertised as encrypted while still carrying plaintext, with
nothing for an authoring caller to check. It now returns bool and is
#[must_use], so ignoring the refusal is a compile-time warning; every call site
was updated to assert on it.
bool rather than Result deliberately: a wrong buffer length is a programming
error at a library boundary, not a disc condition, and a new Error variant would
mean a new numeric code plus its rendering in another repo.
It also drove CBC from the single-block aes_ecb_encrypt, rebuilding the AES key
schedule for each of the 383 blocks in a unit — an order of magnitude slower
than its inverse, which expands the key once via aes_cbc_decrypt. The missing
counterpart aes_cbc_encrypt now exists alongside it, and encrypt_unit calls it,
so the two directions are symmetric in structure as well as in result. For an
authoring caller encrypting a 90 GB image that removes ~5.6 billion redundant
key expansions.
New test pins the boundary: ALIGNED_UNIT_LEN - 1 returns false and leaves the
buffer byte-identical, ALIGNED_UNIT_LEN succeeds. The existing round-trip and
padding-asymmetry tests still pass, so the CBC rewrite is provably the same
transform.
All six describe code that does something different from what they say, which
is the class of defect that gets a maintainer to write a bug on purpose.
docs/clpi.md presented the CLPI stream-PID entry as byte-aligned 2/2/2/4/4-byte
fields with a 32-bit fine-entry count. It is one 80-bit packed block —
reserved(10) + EP_stream_type(4) + num_EP_coarse(16) + num_EP_fine(18) +
EP_map_start_address(32) — and num_EP_fine is 18 bits. Anyone parsing to the
doc's offsets would read garbage. Replaced with the real bit layout.
docs/udf.md said read_directory()'s recursion cap is 3; MAX_DIR_DEPTH is 8.
TROUBLESHOOTING.md called Pass 1 `recovery::copy`. The engine's `sweep` is
documented as "Pass 1 of a multipass rip"; `copy` is the dispatch verb that
chooses between sweep and patch. This inconsistency was mine, introduced in the
1.6.0 doc rewrite. docs/drive-access.md already said `sweep` and was right — a
round-2 finding claimed the opposite on the grounds that `recovery::sweep`
appears nowhere else in this crate, which it cannot, being in another crate.
io/pipeline.rs cited `disc::patch` as WRITE_THROUGH_DEPTH's caller; that moved
to freemkv-engine in 1.6.0 and no `patch` exists here.
truehd.rs's doc on mlp_major_sync_crc_ok said the trailer is compared
big-endian while the body compares u16::from_le_bytes — and a big-endian
compare was the bug the function was fixed for, so the comment described the
defect rather than the code.
sector/decrypting.rs claimed the decorator owns "the only mutable state (its
call-count cap and spent flag)". DecryptingSectorSource has no such fields and
no KeyFetch field at all in this revision.
Three defects around MuxOptions in the mux driver.
MuxInput::Live never applied MuxOptions.selection, so a caller's audio/subtitle
selection was silently ignored on the live-drive path while the field's own
documentation said it was applied before the demux pipeline is built. The Iso
and Session arms both apply it; Live now does the same, in the same place —
before resolve_inline_base_map, which is keyed on extents and so unaffected by
pruning the stream list.
The header gate returned Error::MkvInvalid whenever headers had not resolved.
On the prefetch-highway path a halt landing while the pump is blocked in a read
can end the stream as Ok(None) rather than Err(Halted), so the loop breaks with
headers unresolved through no fault of the data. Reporting that as MkvInvalid
tells the consumer its disc is malformed and skips the stop-preserves-staging
path that a clean completed=false triggers. The gate now re-checks halt first.
MuxOptions.selection's doc claimed it was applied without naming the one input
it is not applied to. That exception lived only in an internal comment at the
Url match arm, where a caller reading the public field docs would never see it.
It is now on the field, pointing at InputOptions::selection instead.
parse_audio_attr mapped DVD audio_coding_mode 2 to Codec::Mpeg1 — the MPEG-1
VIDEO variant. Codec::kind() reports Video for it, so a DVD MPEG-audio stream
was classified and handled as video everywhere downstream. Modes 2 and 3 are
both MPEG audio Layer II (3 adds the MPEG-2 multichannel extension), so both
map to Codec::Mp2. A test now walks every coding mode and asserts each result's
kind() is Audio, so no mode can map to a non-audio codec again.
docs/aacs.md documented an entire keydb-resolving API that does not exist:
ScanOptions::with_keydb, Disc::open_title, reader.read_unit(). None of those
symbols appear anywhere in the crate, and ScanOptions has no keydb field — its
own doc comment says "libfreemkv is lookup-free — it resolves no keys". A
reader following that page would conclude the library reads keydb.cfg, which
inverts the actual design: the caller resolves keys out-of-band through a
KeySource and applies them with Disc::decrypt_with.
The section is rewritten against the real API, and the AacsState table's
`key_source` type corrected from KeySource to KeyOrigin.
Worth recording: the first replacement example I wrote was itself wrong. It
used `input("disc://...")`, which resolve.rs explicitly rejects with
Error::DiscUrlNotDirect — live disc must go through Drive::open + Disc::scan +
DiscStream::new. Every symbol and signature in the committed example was
checked against the source rather than assumed.
Mp4Sink::write returned Ok(()) without recording the sample whenever an audio
track's frame would not parse into a sample entry. Two consequences, both
silent: leading audio frames were lost until one frame parsed, and a track
whose frames never parsed disappeared from the output entirely — finish()'s
retain() removed the sample-less trak and the run reported success. That
contradicts this crate's stated policy that a skipped track is never silently
dropped.
The drop was never necessary. audio_entry is read in exactly one place,
build_trak, reached only from build_moov inside finish() — nothing on the write
path consumes it. So write() now records every sample and derives the entry
opportunistically from whichever frame parses first.
That makes build_trak's `audio_entry.unwrap_or_default()` reachable, which
would emit an stsd declaring entry_count=1 around an EMPTY sample entry: a
structurally invalid mp4 returned as success. finish() therefore drops any
audio track it cannot describe, with a tracing::warn! naming the codec and
sample count.
Dropping rather than erroring is deliberate. It matches finish()'s existing
treatment of sample-less tracks, keeps an export whose video is fine from
failing outright, and needs no new error code — a new code would mean a new
i18n key across 29 locale files in another repo, which is not this change's
scope. The track's bytes stay unreferenced in mdat: wasted space in a valid
file, which is the cheaper failure.
Test pins both halves — moov describes only the video track, and the
unparseable audio bytes still reach mdat rather than being discarded at write
time.
Three defects in the mp4:// read path, all of the same family: a damaged
source was remuxed minus a track, or with fabricated data, and the run
reported success.
Silent drops. Eight paths dropped a whole track on malformed input with no
report of any kind, so an mp4:// source missing its audio looked like a clean
run. Each now emits a tracing::warn! naming the track and the missing or
inconsistent table (tracing English is permitted in this crate; the numeric
error codes are unchanged). The non-A/V handler case is debug!, since skipping
a timecode or hint track is normal.
Fabricated offsets. sample_offsets ended with a `while offsets.len() <
sizes.len()` loop that packed unplaced samples after the last known offset.
Those samples have no known location, so the invented offsets made the reader
pull frame data from arbitrary file bytes — the exact "emit garbage" outcome
the stco/stsc presence guards refuse. It now returns the short list and the
caller drops the track.
Short stts. `durations.get(i).unwrap_or(0)` gave every sample past the end of a
short stts a duration of 0, collapsing the whole tail onto one timestamp. That
is the same degenerate timing the `durations.is_empty()` guard was written to
refuse, so the guard now refuses both cases.
Two shared test fixtures were internally inconsistent and only passed because
the reader was lenient: stsz declared 3 samples while stsc placed 1, and the
hostile-stsz fixture's stsc/stts covered a single sample. Both are now
consistent. The hostile fixture keeps its lying stsz count — that lie is what
it tests — but its stsc and stts now cover whatever count survives the
file_len bound, so it exercises the allocation bound rather than the
inconsistency guards.
Two new tests pin the new refusals by mutating the consistent fixture: an stsc
that places 1 of 3 samples, and an stts that covers 1 of 3.
The probe's only natural exit was "every PGS track has shown a non-forced
display set". A genuinely FORCED track never satisfies that, so on the common
authoring — a forced-narrative track for foreign dialogue — the loop read the
title's entire extent set at 2 MiB per call with no byte cap, no time cap and
no halt check. It was also invoked once per title rather than once per distinct
clip, and a disc's playlists overwhelmingly reference the same few clips (main
feature, play-all, seamless-branch variants), so the same physical extents were
re-read 30-150 times. The two defects multiplied: tens of GB, times the
playlist count, off an optical drive.
Reached via ScanOptions::probe_forced_subtitles, whose only consumer is
`freemkv info -v` (freemkv/src/disc_info.rs). The rip path leaves it off. So
the symptom is `info -v` never returning on an ordinary UHD, not a corrupt rip.
Three changes:
* PROBE_BUDGET_SECTORS caps a probe at 256 MiB. A forced track's display sets
appear throughout the title, so a bounded prefix classifies it; the budget
only decides how long we keep looking for a non-forced set before accepting
the forced verdict.
* ScanOptions::halt is now plumbed in and checked per chunk, so `info -v` is
cancellable. The probe previously took no halt at all.
* A ForcedProbeCache memoises verdicts against the title's exact extent list.
Keying on byte-identical input means a hit cannot change any result — it
only removes the re-read.
Verdict application is factored into apply_verdicts so the cached and freshly
probed paths cannot diverge.
Three tests pin the behaviour, each against a reader that counts sectors and
never ends: the budget stops at exactly PROBE_BUDGET_SECTORS, a cancelled halt
reads zero sectors, and a second title with identical extents costs no further
reads while a different extent list still misses the cache.
Also worth recording: the CLI acceptance harness never exercised `info -v`
against an optical drive — it reads ISOs from local SSD, where a full-extent
read is fast enough to hide both defects.
MkvTrack::audio's catch-all was `_ => CODEC_AC3`, and ebml.rs defined no
A_AAC, A_MPEG/L2, A_MPEG/L3, A_FLAC or A_OPUS constant at all. A CodecID
names the payload, so any of those codecs was written into the MKV declaring
AC-3 while carrying something else — a player either refuses the track or
decodes noise.
Reachable through two ordinary paths, both verified: ifo.rs:577 maps DVD
audio_coding_mode 3 to Codec::Mp2, so a DVD with MPEG audio muxed to mkv://
produced a track declaring A_AC3 over MP2 bytes; and mp4/read.rs:479 maps the
`mp4a` sample entry to Codec::Aac for an mp4:// source. codec/mod.rs already
has working parsers for MP2, MP3, AAC, FLAC and Opus, so the pipeline carried
these codecs end to end and only the container label was wrong.
MkvTrack::video had the same shape: `_ => CODEC_MPEG2` announced Codec::Mpeg1
and Codec::Av1 as MPEG-2 video. V_MPEG1 and V_AV1 added.
Both catch-alls stay, because MkvTrack::audio/video return Self and have no
error channel, but they are now reachable only by a non-audio/non-video or
Unknown codec routed there in error. Two tests enumerate every real codec of
each kind and cross-check each against Codec::kind(), so a codec added to the
enum later cannot silently inherit another codec's ID.
Both proven red first: Aac declared A_AC3 before the fix.
TsMuxer::write_frame handed every NAL video track's codec_private to
hvcc_to_annex_b. An H.264 track carries an avcC record, whose box layout is
different, so the parser returned None and no parameter sets were emitted —
and params_written was set unconditionally, so it never retried. H.264
muxed to m2ts:// reached the player with no SPS/PPS and was undecodable,
silently: frame_count still advanced and the mux reported success. AVC is
the dominant Blu-ray video codec, so this was not an edge case.
The correct dispatch already existed and was already used by
demux_sink::annexb_param_sets. tsmux simply never got the codec: it knew
only PIDs and a NAL-or-not bool, so it could not tell hvcC from avcC.
Rather than add a second setter, set_nal_video(track, bool) becomes
set_video_codec(track, Codec). One fact decides both the ES framing and the
parameter-set parser, so the two can no longer disagree — and that
disagreement is precisely this defect. The default stays Codec::Hevc, which
is the behaviour the bool's `true` default encoded, so a caller that never
calls it is unaffected.
Proven red first, end-to-end through M2tsStream::create with a real avcC
record: before the fix neither the SPS nor the PPS reached the transport
stream.
Disc::sweep, Disc::patch, Disc::copy, SweepOptions and PatchOptions have
zero occurrences in src/ — recovery moved to freemkv-engine — but they were
still documented in 30 places across README.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md, six
files under docs/, seven src/ doc comments and a Cargo.toml comment.
README.md is the crate's GitHub front page and carried a full multi-pass
code example that cannot compile.
Two of the src/ references were intra-doc LINKS to deleted items
([`disc::Disc::copy`], [`disc::Disc::patch`] in scsi/mod.rs). They produced
no warning on a normal `cargo doc` only because they sit on pub(crate)
items; `--document-private-items` reports both, and they are gone now.
The README example is deleted rather than rewritten against the engine's
API: libfreemkv documenting a downstream crate's API on its own front page
is the drift that produced this, and it cannot even depend on it. The src/
references become plain code spans naming freemkv_engine::recovery::* —
deliberately not links, for the same reason.
docs/rip-recovery.md was 202 lines about relocated code. It now documents
only what this crate owns — Drive::read, SenseFamily, DiscStream's adaptive
batch halving — plus the read-path design constraints, which belong with the
code that enforces them, and points at freemkv-engine/src/recovery/ for the
strategy. api-design.md's module tree is regenerated from the real src/disc/
and src/drive/ layouts instead of hand-patched; it had listed sweep.rs,
patch.rs, mapfile.rs and read_error.rs, none of which exist.
Three stale facts surfaced while rewriting and are corrected: the read
timeouts are 10 s / 60 s, not the documented 1.5 s / 30 s; Drive::reset and
SgIoTransport::reset no longer exist at all, so "no SCSI reset from any read
path" is now stated as the stronger fact it has become; and verify_title,
listed as a progress-emitting operation, was removed entirely.
CHANGELOG.md keeps its references — those are the historical record of the
releases that shipped the API.
Two tests checked only find_id(&data, ebml::REFERENCE_BLOCK).is_some().
ReferenceBlock's EBML ID is the single byte 0xFB, so that asks whether one
exists ANYWHERE in the output — not which blocks carry one. Inside a
BlockGroup, keyframe-ness is signalled by the ABSENCE of ReferenceBlock, so
"which" is the entire question.
Measured rather than assumed. A mutant emitting a ReferenceBlock on every
BlockGroup, keyframes included — which reintroduces the exact 1.6.0 defect
these tests were added for, every frame reading as a non-keyframe — passed
mvc_frame_emits_blockgroup_additional_and_reference untouched. The
duration-bearing roundtrip test did catch it, via its MkvStream read-back
rather than via the presence check. A mutant corrupting the offset VALUE
was invisible to both.
all_block_groups() parses every BlockGroup in emission order with its
Block flags, relative timestamp, duration and decoded signed ReferenceBlock.
first_block_group() now delegates to it, so there is one walker rather than
two. Both tests assert per block: the keyframe carries NO ReferenceBlock,
each non-keyframe carries one, the offset equals the distance back to the
keyframe, and the SimpleBlock-only 0x80 flag is clear throughout.
Both tests previously took muxer.writer.into_inner() WITHOUT calling
finish(), leaving cluster sizes unwritten — an unparseable file, which is
why they could only byte-scan in the first place. They now write through
SharedWriter and finish(), so the assertions run against a well-formed
Matroska file.
Verified: with the fixes in place, the every-block mutant and the
off-by-one-offset mutant both fail.
set_nal_video had exactly one production caller and zero test callers. The
branch it gates decides whether a video track's ES goes through
length_prefixed_to_annex_b, and MPEG-2 and VC-1 must not: they are already
start-code ES. Getting it wrong is silent — frame_count still increments,
so the mux reports success while emitting a video-less file.
Five tests, each verified against a real mutant:
* non-NAL ES passes through byte-for-byte, and the default path still
converts. Both use a deliberately length-prefix-SHAPED payload so a
wrongly-applied conversion rewrites the leading four bytes into a start
code — a payload the converter happened to leave alone would let a
mutant pass.
* a non-NAL keyframe arms params_written, so following non-keyframes are
not dropped by the pre-keyframe guard.
* set_nal_video rejects an out-of-range track instead of panicking.
* M2tsStream::create wires a VC-1 track to the non-NAL path.
That last one matters more than it looks. The four TsMuxer-level tests set
the flag themselves, so deleting the set_nal_video loop from
M2tsStream::create left all 2366 tests passing — the exact mutant the
finding named went undetected until a test drove the real wiring. It now
also catches the subtler mutant of widening the matches! arm to include
Vc1.
encrypt_unit becomes public library API rather than a #[cfg(test)] helper.
Authoring an encrypted disc image is a legitimate use of this crate, and
the capability was already written four times over: a pub(crate) test-only
copy in aacs/content.rs plus three hand-rolled duplicates in decrypt.rs,
sector/decrypting.rs and disc/extract.rs. All four now call one function,
removing ~110 lines of duplicated cipher code that could drift from
decrypt_unit independently.
It mirrors decrypt_unit's purity contract: crypto only, no encrypted-flag
handling, because where that flag lives is container-specific (CPI bits in
byte 0 for BD-TS, elsewhere for HD-DVD-PS). Callers set the flag BEFORE
encrypting — bytes 0..16 are the key seed left in plaintext, so touching a
header byte afterwards changes the key a decryptor derives. That footgun is
documented at the function and at every call site.
Two tests pin it: an exact round trip through both directions, and the one
place the pair is deliberately asymmetric — decrypt_unit restores
all-zero-on-disc packets to zero, and the test proves an all-zero plaintext
packet enciphers to non-zero bytes so it is never mistaken for padding.
That asymmetry was previously only prose.
Two decrypt tests were also weaker than their own names:
* aacs_clear_trailing_partial_passes_through asserted only is_ok(), so a
mutant corrupting the clear partial while returning Ok passed. It now
snapshots the buffer and asserts byte equality, matching the
none_keys_is_noop pattern already in the file.
* aacs_decorator_decrypts_encrypted_unit_via_map checked only that 0x47
reappeared at the 192-byte stride, leaving corruption in the other 6112
bytes undetected. The plaintext is fully known, so it now asserts
byte-exact recovery against it.
Both were verified red first by mutating the production path.
The ddts box declares both a channel count and a 16-bit speaker mask, and
a decoder may trust either. dts_channel_layout ended in a `_ => 0x0007`
catch-all describing five speakers (C + L/R + Ls/Rs), so for AMODE 6, 7,
and 10 through 15 the box contradicted the count DTS_AMODE_CH declared
alongside it — provoking a downmix or an outright decode error.
AMODE 6 (L + R + S) is the reachable case: its S is a single
centre-surround, not the Ls/Rs pair, so it is three channels and 0x0012,
not four and 0x0006. AMODE 13/14/15 do not occur on retail media, which
ships a 5.1 AMODE-9 core plus an extension substream.
Replace the catch-all with the full 16-entry ETSI TS 102 114 mask table.
Every entry is cross-checked against DTS_AMODE_CH by counting the
speakers its bits imply: sixteen independent constraints, all satisfied,
and that table is itself pinned to the per-AMODE channel counts in ETSI TS 102 114.
AMODE is a 6-bit field, so the reserved 16..=63 are reachable from a
malformed stream. The old `unwrap_or(6)` invented a channel count for
them that no mask could match; parse_dts now refuses those frames rather
than guessing a layout it cannot name.
One existing fixture placed the ext-sync pattern at f[4..8], which
incidentally set f[7]=0x25 → AMODE 20. That test is about where the
pattern sits, not about AMODE, so the frame is now spec-legal (AMODE 9,
48 kHz) with the pattern moved into the payload proper.
The bisect ReadAction regression tests moved to freemkv-engine with the
recovery strategy, but their explanatory block stayed behind — seventeen lines
describing a `let _ = handle_read_error(..)` bug and asserting "the tests below
prove the required ReadAction values are produced". There are no tests below it;
handle_read_error is not even resolvable here any more. Anyone auditing whether
that bug is still guarded would read this and conclude yes. The block moved to
the engine alongside the tests it describes.
The enforcement contact was an address on a domain used for internal
infrastructure, which does not belong in a public repository. GitHub needs no
mailbox to exist and is reachable for anyone who can read this file.
Inside a Matroska BlockGroup the SimpleBlock 0x80 keyframe bit is
reserved and is always written as 0; keyframe-ness is carried only by
the presence or absence of a ReferenceBlock child. Both halves of the
round-trip got this wrong:
- the reader skipped past ReferenceBlock and read the reserved bit,
so every BlockGroup frame came back as a non-keyframe;
- write_block_group discarded its `keyframe` argument and never
emitted a ReferenceBlock, on the assumption that only intra frames
(PGS subtitles) reached that path.
The MPEG-2 parser stamps a per-frame duration on I, P and B pictures
alike, so all MPEG-2 video is written as a BlockGroup. That makes the
assumption false and left no video frame looking like a keyframe on
read-back. Downstream, mkv:// -> m2ts:// dropped every video frame (the
TS muxer discards non-key video until the first keyframe) while still
reporting success, and mkv:// -> mkv:// and the stdio round-trip failed
E6008, because the MKV muxer opens a cluster only on a track-0 video
keyframe and so wrote nothing at all. HEVC was unaffected: it carries no
per-frame duration, so it takes the SimpleBlock path where the flag bit
is authoritative.
Verified on a real CSS DVD: 841 keyframes out of 11440 video packets
survive a re-mux, matching the I-picture count in the source bitstream.
Also stop running non-NAL video through the Annex-B converter. MPEG-2
and VC-1 elementary streams are already start-code framed, so
length-prefix conversion corrupts them. TsMuxer takes a per-track
nal_video flag, defaulting to the previous behaviour, which M2tsStream
sets from each video stream's codec.
The Url mux path prunes streams inside input() via InputOptions.selection;
MuxOptions.selection only applies on the File/Session arms. A Url-source caller
must set InputOptions.selection — noting it so a future caller does not put the
selection on MuxOptions and silently keep every track (the bug the GUI hit).
The sweep/patch recovery strategy, mapfile, retry-decision state machine,
section-recover, and damage classification move out of libfreemkv into the
new freemkv-engine crate. libfreemkv keeps the raw single-shot read and
SCSI-fact translation (SenseFamily stays in scsi).
- Delete disc/{sweep,patch,mapfile,read_error,section_recover}.rs, the
Disc::copy/sweep/patch methods, the Copy/Sweep/Patch option+result types,
classify_damage/DamageSeverity, progress_snapshot_from_mapfile, and the
three recovery integration tests.
- Trim public surface the recovery deletion orphaned: delete the dead
READ_PIPELINE_DEPTH const, the write-side SectorSink/FileSectorSink (no
consumer), and the DriveSpeed enum (its one live use — set max drive
speed — becomes Drive::SPEED_MAX_KBPS). Make mapfile_path_for,
decrypt_sectors_mapped pub(crate); gate NoopEvents to test.
- Version 1.6.0.
DTS core decodability gate (core_header_drop_reason) — full ETSI TS 102 114
spec-conformance sweep against a reference decoder the spec core-header rules and
a reference decoder parse_frame_header:
- deficit_samples: only require ==32 for NORMAL frames (FTYPE==1). A
TERMINATION frame (FTYPE==0, the last frame of a stream) legitimately
carries fewer and is fully decodable; the old unconditional check dropped
it on every stream that ends on one — a guaranteed per-track silence gap.
Matches a reference decoder (normal_frame && deficit != DCA_PCMBLOCK_SAMPLES) and
a reference decoder (branches on normal_frame).
- reserved bit (after RATE): both reference decoders SKIP it (a reference decoder
skip_bits1, a reference decoder bits_skip1 "Reserved field") and never reject on it.
Rejecting was a false-drop that silenced any real stream whose encoder
set the bit. Relaxed to read-and-discard; DropReason::ReservedBit removed.
Swept and confirmed spec-correct as-is (no change): npcmblocks multiple-of-8,
frame_size>=96, audio_mode>=16 (a reference decoder-permissive), sample-rate validity
table (matches avpriv_dca_sample_rates incl 96k/192k at 14/15), LFE flag==3
invalid, PCMR bits table (matches a reference decoder sample_res {16,16,20,20,0,24,24,0}).
Bit-read order verified field-by-field against a reference decoder. bit_rate is left
unvalidated (lenient, never-false-drop direction) as before.
Tests: termination frame with small deficit is kept; normal frame with bad
deficit is dropped; reserved-bit-set frame is kept. make_bad_dts_core now
uses an invalid LFE flag (duration-neutral) instead of the relaxed reserved
bit.
TrueHD: add coverage for the EXTENDED major-sync header CRC path (ms[25]&1,
mshdr=28+2+2n) — previously zero-tested, the exact path a shipped endianness
bug once used to silently drop whole 7.1/Atmos tracks. Trailer is an
independently-computed oracle (separate CRC-16/0x2D, anchored to the 0x4FF7
catalogue value, NOT crc16_mlp), stored little-endian; test asserts accept,
body-corruption reject, and big-endian-trailer reject.
mux driver: extract the finish completion mapping into pure mux_run_completed
so the finalize_failed -> completed=false branch (reachable only via real
write-thread wedge timing) is unit-tested; add an out-of-range
MuxInput::Session title_index test asserting a clean Error::MuxTrackRange
(E9011) instead of a panic.
- resolve_fmts_key_map: distinguish a genuinely-not-FMTS disc from a
transient live-drive read fault. read_filesystem now returns the new
Error::UdfNotFilesystem for a deterministic tag/format mismatch (no AVDP,
no partition descriptor, no FSD); resolve maps only UdfNotFilesystem (fs)
and UdfNotFound (.tbl absent) to Ok(None), and PROPAGATES DiscRead / other
I/O faults so a marginal AACS 2.1 disc fails loud instead of silently
dropping forensic content under a base-Unit-Key-only map.
- DTS_AMODE_CH (mp4/audio.rs): extend 10→16 entries
{1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,6,6,6,7,8,8} (the spec per-AMODE channel table / ETSI TS 102 114) so
the spec-legal high AMODEs that now pass the decodability gate declare
their true channelcount (AMODE 13→7, 14/15→8) instead of a truncated 6.
- session.rs resolve_keys "called before scan" guard is now testable:
from_parts_for_test takes Option<Disc>; added a test that a disc-less
session returns a clean DeviceNotReady Err rather than panicking.
- mp4/read.rs: a track with samples but a missing/malformed stts (mandatory
per ISO/IEC 14496-12) is dropped rather than emitting all-zero timestamps,
matching the existing stco/stsc guards; all-tracks-dropped → Mp4Invalid.
- Remove the inert MuxInput::Iso.key_map field (the Iso path re-derives its
map inside build_iso_pipeline); the live path keeps Live.key_map.
All four fixes are mutation-verified.
Fix 1 (correctness): resolve_fmts_key_map's per-index phase probe read a
single representative segment via read_unit (whose read_sectors(...).ok()?
swallows read errors into None) with no fault fallback. A transient live-drive
read fault (e.g. NOT READY 2/04/3E on the BU40N) made every probe read return
None, giving even==0 && odd==0 — indistinguishable from a genuine wrong key —
so resolve_tie_phase returned FmtsKeyMissing and aborted the entire multi-title
rip even though the forensic index keys were valid and in hand.
Extract the probe into probe_index_phase, which returns Phase / WrongKey /
ReadFault. It mirrors the anchor loop's tolerance: it tries multiple same-index
segments and only concludes WrongKey once a read actually succeeded and decrypted
to no clean parity. If every read of every same-index segment faults it returns
ReadFault; the caller then leaves the phase unresolved so the range-builder
defaults to Phase::All (decrypt both parities, demux drops the garbled alternate
half) instead of aborting. A wrong key can never be masked as a read fault:
ReadFault requires that not a single read succeeded, so zero decrypt evidence.
Fix 2 (test coverage): resolve_mux_key_map's multi-CPS branch was only exercised
with an all-zero source, so pick(), the KeyFetch cold path, and the fail-loud
DecryptFailed guard never ran. Add tests over real AACS ciphertext (via
aacs_encrypt_unit_for_test) covering pick() selecting the correct pool index,
the DecryptFailed guard firing when a clean sample matches no held/fetched key,
and the fetch cold path recovering a missing unit key. Mutation-verified.
Fix 3 (doc): move the reader_event_fn EventKind->MuxEvents mapping doc off
session_mux_keys onto reader_event_fn.
Round-2 follow-ups to 6d6e60f (inline base-map resolve on the live
single-pass Session/Live mux arms).
Fix 1 (halt threading) — the inline resolve chain sampled ciphertext off
the LIVE drive with no cancel token, so an operator /api/stop during key
resolution was not honored (the FMTS probe can issue hundreds of reads,
each able to stall to the 60s SCSI recovery timeout — violating the
"don't hammer a struggling live drive" rule). Add an optional
`halt: Option<&Halt>` to `resolve_mux_key_map`, `resolve_fmts_key_map`,
`resolve_inline_base_map`, and `Disc::resolve_content_key_map`, and poll
it at each loop boundary (FMTS anchor + per-index probe loops, multi-CPS
extent loop) — returning Err(Halted) promptly. Live/Session arms pass the
driver's halt; sweep/patch pass their own token (via Halt::from_arc);
file-backed probe/ISO callers pass None. Tested with a pre-cancelled halt
(Err Halted, no extent sampling) and a None-halt no-abort case;
mutation-verified (dropping the extent-loop check → Ok, not Err).
Fix 2 (Session-arm coverage) — the MuxInput::Session arm ran the same
resolve→install→decrypt sequence as Live but had NO end-to-end test
(DiscSession only exposed open(), which needs live hardware). Add a
#[cfg(test)] DiscSession::from_parts_for_test (injected reader + scanned
disc, no Drive), an end-to-end AACS decrypt test through the Session arm
(mutation-verified: dropping with_key_map → mux aborts), and a
missing-reader clean-error (not panic) test.
Fix 3 (cleanups) — io_error_code: remove the unreachable typed-Error
downcast branch (From<Error> for io::Error stringifies; no path builds an
io::Error holding a typed Error), keeping the stringify parse is_halt /
is_skippable_title_stub rely on. Add a resolve_keys_for test covering the
largest-title sampling branch. Document the patch wedge-exit coverage gap
(TODO) in passn_handler_ab.rs.
Under the map-only decrypt model an AACS DecryptingSectorSource decrypts
nothing until a key map is installed; with no map the AACS arm fails loud
with DecryptFailed on the first content unit. The two inline live-mux arms
in mux_stream did not install one:
- MuxInput::Session (freemkv `rip disc://…mkv`) installed NO map at all.
- MuxInput::Live (autorip non-FMTS single-pass) installed only a
caller-supplied forensic FMTS map, which is None for a plain AACS disc.
So EVERY plain AACS Blu-ray/UHD ripped via the live single-pass path failed
DecryptFailed on the first content read. This predates the mux_stream
refactor: the bug was introduced with the map-only decrypt model, and the
pre-refactor CLI likewise built DiscStream::new without with_key_map.
Fix: add resolve_inline_base_map, the inline counterpart to what
build_iso_pipeline does for the file highway. Both arms now resolve the
AACS map off the reader (borrow to sample, then move into DiscStream) and
install it via with_key_map before any read. DVD/CSS keeps DecryptKeys::None
(DiscStream's per-title CSS crack owns it); clear/raw resolve to no map.
Session passes session.key_fetch() so a multi-CPS/orphan unit can still be
recovered; a caller-supplied FMTS map (autorip) is used verbatim, never
re-resolved.
Tests: an end-to-end MuxInput::Live mux over a genuinely-AACS-encrypted
synthetic unit now decrypts and finalises (mutation-verified: dropping the
resolve/install makes the mux abort). Adds a pub(crate) test-only AACS
encrypt helper so the mux test can build a real encrypted fixture, and a
gating test for resolve_inline_base_map (AACS→map, CSS/clear/raw→none).
- dts: accept all 16 legal AMODE channel-arrangement codes (0-15), not just
0-9. Per ETSI TS 102 114 the 6-bit AMODE field has 16 defined arrangements;
only 16-63 are reserved. a reference decoder the spec per-AMODE channel table confirms 10-15 are
decodable 6/7/8-channel layouts. The old bound of 10 dropped spec-legal
multichannel core frames as undecodable, silencing recoverable audio. Add a
regression test (literal 0..16 range) that fails if the bound reverts to 10.
- keysource: only memoize a NEGATIVE (empty) key-fetch result when every source
genuinely ran and none held the key — never when a source Err'd (network down,
unreachable). A transient outage was being cached as a permanent "no key" for
the fingerprint, permanently dropping a unit that could be recovered once the
source came back. Thread an `errored` flag out of the drivers and gate the
cache insert on it. Tests cover both the recover-after-outage case and that a
genuine absence is still memoized.
- pgs_forced_probe: add happy-path coverage feeding real synthetic BD-TS PGS
display sets through the full demux -> parse -> observe -> apply path, both a
forced verdict landing and a non-forced verdict clearing a vendor flag.
- mp4: correct fit_report doc (audio carried is AC-3/E-AC-3 AND DTS/DTS-HD).
- scan_iso test: add independent fixture expectations (volume id) so the parity
test is no longer purely tautological against a re-run of the same composition.
The finish stage and the highway path already treat Error::Halted as a clean
operator stop (completed=false), but the header pump (`stream.read()?`) and the
frame pump (`Err(e) => return Err(e)`) propagated it as a hard error. Since slow
recovery reads dominate wall-clock, a Stop almost always lands mid-read, so it
surfaced as a mux failure instead of a resumable incomplete outcome — breaking the
driver's own "a clean operator stop is not an error" contract and diverging from
the ISO/Url highway (which returns Ok(None) on halt).
Both read arms now route Error::Halted to the completed=false path. Adds
error::is_halt(&io::Error) (typed, mirrors is_skippable_title_stub) as the check.
Two regression tests cover a halt landing mid-header-read and mid-frame-read.
The 60s per-frame send deadline the mux driver applies in drive_mux was
hardcoded. That is correct for autorip (its hard watchdog + container-restart
model wants a wedged sink surfaced as a bounded per-frame timeout), but wrong
for the CLI's interactive stdout:// / network sinks: the old inline
output.write() had no deadline, so a slow-but-alive downstream (paused pager,
backpressured pipe, slow peer) was spuriously reported as an interrupted mux
after 60s of backpressure.
Add MuxOptions.send_deadline: Option<Duration>. Some(d) keeps a hard d timeout;
None means no backpressure timeout (block on a live-but-slow sink). None is
resolved to an effectively-unbounded-but-Instant-safe NO_SEND_DEADLINE at the
effective_send_deadline seam. Ctrl-C / halt stays responsive under None because
send_with_halt slices its wait at POLL_INTERVAL and re-checks the halt token
every slice regardless of the deadline value.
Unit-test the routing seam (Some(d) -> d, None -> unbounded, never collapses to
60s) and that MuxOptions carries the knob.
The mux drive loop hoisted out of autorip/CLI into libfreemkv's
drive_mux dropped three guarantees the hand-rolled loops enforced:
A. Header-buffer OOM cap. The header pump buffered every PES frame
until codec_private resolved with no byte accounting, so a title
whose video header never resolves (damaged/undecryptable HEVC on
marginal UHD) buffered the whole 30-90 GB title into RAM until
OOM-kill. Restore the 512 MiB HEADER_BUFFER_CAP_BYTES cap autorip's
run_mux enforced; once exceeded, fail fast with the same
Error::MkvInvalid the headers-never-resolved gate already returns.
B. Watchdog feed during the header-frame drain. After headers resolve
the buffered header frames are flushed to the sink, but
on_write_progress (the sole feed for autorip's hard watchdog) fired
only in the steady-state loop, leaving the watchdog unfed during a
long/slow drain and able to false-escalate. Feed on_write_progress
per buffered frame during the drain, matching the steady-state path.
C. Per-title CSS key on MuxInput::Session. The Session arm set keys via
disc.decrypt_keys() unconditionally, which returns the largest
title's VTS CSS key; muxing a bonus title in a different VTS
descrambled with the wrong key (DiscStream's per-title crack only
fires on DecryptKeys::None). Special-case DVD to None so the pipeline
cracks the correct per-title key, matching resolve.rs::input(). AACS
and clear discs still resolve from decrypt_keys().
Adds mutation-verified synthetic tests for each (no live drive).
STEP 4c-ii (layering refactor): give `mux_stream` a live-drive source so
autorip's live single-pass mux stops hand-rolling `DiscStream::new`.
`MuxInput::Live` is the live analogue of `MuxInput::Iso`: it wraps the
raw `Box<dyn SectorSource>` in the INLINE `DiscStream` (the same
constructor the `Session` arm uses — NOT `build_iso_pipeline`, the
prefetch highway), so a consumer's adaptive batch-retry in
`DiscStream::fill_extents` still fires on a bad live-drive sector. Unlike
`Session`, `Live` carries an optional pre-resolved forensic `AacsKeyMap`
that is applied via `DiscStream::with_key_map` before any read — required
for single-pass FMTS correctness (read only our-phase units; decrypt the
forensic segment with the mapped key). The consumer resolves keys as its
own policy and hands the banked material in; the driver re-resolves
nothing.
Unit test drives `MuxInput::Live` with a recording `SectorSource` and a
phased forensic key map, asserting the alternate-phase (odd) units are
never fetched — proof the arm builds the inline `DiscStream` and applies
the key map. Mutation-verified: dropping the `with_key_map` call reads the
dropped odd-phase LBAs and fails the assertion.
Split the ambiguous MuxEvents::on_progress(bytes, total) into two
callbacks — on_read_progress(bytes_read, total) and
on_write_progress(bytes_written, total) — so a consumer no longer has
to guess which side of the pipeline a progress figure came from. The
CLI drives its bar from the write side; autorip from the read side.
The reader EventFn's BytesRead now maps to on_read_progress; the
per-frame emit in drive_mux to on_write_progress. Both keep empty
defaults; NoopEvents and the driver tests are updated to match.
Add DiscSession::stage_drive_as_reader so the live single-pass path can
run through MuxInput::Session: the owned Drive (itself a SectorSource)
moves into the reader slot for mux_stream to take. The drive is now
held as Option<Drive> with the device path cached up front, so the
mux driver can still name the device after the drive has been staged;
the driver's Session arm uses the new device_path() accessor.
mux_stream took events as &dyn MuxEvents and passed None for the
constructors' EventFn, because that hook is Box<dyn Fn(Event)+Send+
'static> and a borrowed handle cannot satisfy 'static. The reader-side
events (BytesRead progress, SectorSkipped, BatchSizeChanged, ReadError)
therefore never fired.
Take events as Arc<dyn MuxEvents> (MuxEvents: Send+Sync+'static) and
clone it into a 'static EventFn (reader_event_fn) that translates each
real EventKind into the matching MuxEvents call. Wire it into
build_iso_pipeline (ISO path) and DiscStream::on_event (live path).
The write-side on_progress in drive_mux is unchanged.
Add a translation unit test (all four variants) and an end-to-end
mux_stream ISO test that asserts the read-side BytesRead reaches the
Arc; passing None regresses the latter.
Add the shared decrypt+mux driver both consumers hand-roll today, as a
library-only API. `mux_stream(input, dest_url, opts, halt, events)` runs
the construct -> headers gate -> open sink -> pump -> finish pipeline:
- MuxInput::{Session, Iso, Url} selects the source. The file/ISO path
calls the untouched build_iso_pipeline highway (zero added copies —
the driver reads frames exactly where consumers call stream.read());
the live path builds a DiscStream; a URL source goes through input().
- chapters:// / json:// metadata sinks short-circuit BEFORE the header
pump/gate. They write their whole file from the scanned title and need
no codec headers; the CLI placed this after the gate, so a metadata
export on a title whose video headers never resolved failed with
MkvInvalid. Fixed by construction.
- The header gate refuses a stream with no resolved codec_private
(MkvInvalid); the zero-output gate refuses an empty/undecryptable drain
(NoStreams); a halt mid-pump yields completed=false, never a success.
- Frames are written through a WRITE_PIPELINE_DEPTH consumer pipeline so
the latency-bound sink write overlaps the next read.
Add error::is_skippable_title_stub(&io::Error) so consumers can drop the
E7023/E6008 string-match, and DiscSession::take_reader for the live arm.
Driver body unit-tested in isolation via a synthetic Stream against
null:// / chapters:// / json:// sinks (short-circuit, header gate,
zero-output gate, halt, happy path); each gate mutation-verified.
Consumers are NOT migrated yet (steps 4b/4c).
Hoist the AACS base-unit-key resolution glue the CLI and autorip hand-rolled
around the existing primitives into one place: sample the largest title's
ciphertext, run the ordered key sources first-valid-wins, bank the winning
unit keys onto the disc, and build the read-time KeyFetch.
- resolve_keys_for(reader, disc, sources): the free-function core, over any
SectorSource (live drive or a scan_iso file reader). Returns the structured
ResolutionTrace plus the KeyFetch; a non-AACS disc is a no-op (empty trace,
no fetch).
- DiscSession::resolve_keys(sources): samples through the session's reader
(staged file reader if present, else the live drive), banks onto the
scanned disc, and retains the KeyFetch on the session (key_fetch()
accessor) for a later mux.
- KeySourceFactory: the Arc source factory the consumer supplies (libfreemkv
builds no key sources itself).
Sampling is skipped when the factory yields no sources (resolution is a miss
regardless) — no wasted disc read. Tests cover banking, the no-key path
still building a fetch, and the CSS/None non-AACS no-op.
Introduce libfreemkv::scan_iso(path, opts) -> (Disc, Box<dyn SectorSource>),
the file-backed counterpart to DiscSession::scan. It is the single place
that opens a FileSectorSource, reads its capacity, and runs Disc::scan_image,
returning the scanned Disc plus a reusable reader over the same image so
consumers stop hand-rolling that triple.
Add an integration test that materialises a minimal synthetic UDF image to a
real file, asserts scan_iso matches the manual open+scan_image composition,
and confirms the returned reader is still usable (capacity + sector read).
Also covers open-failure and scan-failure error propagation.
New src/session.rs providing DiscSession, DeviceTarget, and KeySpec,
re-exported from lib.rs. DiscSession::open runs the drive open +
advisory wait_ready/init/probe_disc bring-up (owning the Drive by
value); identify()/scan() are split so consumers keep their own
UI/TMDB sequencing. KeySpec carries consumer-built credentials +
key_sources which scan() forwards into ScanOptions without clobbering
caller-set fields (the library derives no certs and reads no keydb).
Unit tests cover the KeySpec->ScanOptions forwarding.
Multi-round audit of the decrypt/AACS/mux-codec refactor. Fixes, in
descending severity:
- mux/mp4/read.rs: bound untrusted-input allocations. `sample_budget`
now also capped by file_len (a fixed-size stsz claiming count=u32::MAX
can't inflate the Vec<SampleRef> past the file's own size); trak scan
capped at MAX_TRACKS matches; find_box() takes only the first match
(cap=1) instead of materializing every match. Removes dead find_boxes
wrapper.
- disc/mod.rs: merge_content_key_ranges now UNIONS same-key overlapping
ranges (coverage-preserving) instead of dropping the non-overlapping
tail, which silently left encrypted LBAs uncovered -> ciphertext
passthrough in the whole-disc sweep/patch map. Different-key overlap
(malformed) still dropped to keep the set disjoint.
- sector/decrypting.rs: remove dead unit_key_idx field + with_unit_key_idx
setter (vestigial from the pre-keymap trial-decrypt design; AACS is
map-only now). Fix stale docs.
- decrypt.rs / resolve.rs / error.rs / extract.rs: doc/comment drift from
the refactor (AacsKeyMap positive-map semantics, resolve_mux_key_map doc
reattachment, decrypt_sectors_in_content legacy-alias, E_MP4_INVALID
meaning, multi-CPS orphan by-design note).
Test coverage (all mutation-verified real):
- DTS NeedMore force-flush buffer bound; FLAC/MPEG-audio PTS carry-forward;
mp4 mdhd timescale=0 divide-by-zero guard, MAX_TRACKS cap, sample-count
file_len bound, MAX_ALLOC_BYTES cap under inflated file_len.
- resolve_fmts_key_map: extracted filter_addressable_segments,
resolve_tie_phase, fill_base_key_gaps as pure behavior-preserving
helpers, each unit-tested (segment filter, phase-tie arms, gap-fill
gaplessness over every extent).
- AacsKeyMap now derives its distinct key-index set once at construction
(from_ranges_phased) instead of re-allocating/sorting it on every
decrypt batch; key_indices() returns the cached slice.
- Extract the whole-disc content-map range merge out of
resolve_content_key_map into merge_content_key_ranges and cover it:
sort/disjoint, shared-clip dedup, overlap drop, adjacent-kept.
- Repoint three tautological AACS tests (which passed only via the
unconditional-Err AACS arm of decrypt_sectors) at the real shipping
path decrypt_sectors_mapped: out-of-range mapped key index, empty pool
vs a non-empty map, and a scrambled encrypted trailing partial (the new
guard) — plus a clear-trailing-partial pass-through and an explicit
fail-loud safety-net test for AACS reaching the unmapped wrapper.
- Add the missing end-to-end AACS round-trip through the decorator +
key map (aacs_decorator_decrypts_encrypted_unit_via_map) and a
mapless-AACS-fails-loud decorator test — the exact class of bug the
TrueHD probe shipped. Fills the // TODO: AACS round-trip test gap.
- Delete the now-dead recovery test fixtures (encrypt_aacs_unit_bad,
AnyLbaUnit) left after the reactive key-fetch path was removed; keep
encrypt_aacs_unit + FixedUnit, now used by the round-trip test.
- resolve_fmts_key_map: filter segments to those addressable within THIS
title's extents; a title with no forensic content (menu/extras playlist,
or a different clip) returns Ok(None) and takes the base Unit-Key/CPS
path instead of hard-failing FmtsKeyMissing. Previously the first
non-forensic title aborted the entire whole-disc sweep
(resolve_content_key_map iterates every title) and blocked muxing any
non-main title.
- FMTS phase probe: an even/odd is_clean tie now only fails loud when
BOTH halves are 0 (no clean decrypt). A both-clean tie is source-zero
padding (is_clean is true for any key on all-zero content) — the key is
valid, default Even, never abort the rip on a padding-heavy sample.
- extract_tree: multi-CPS discs now build the exact per-CPS content map
(resolve_content_key_map) instead of a blanket key-0 map that silently
mis-decrypted every secondary-CPS file into garbage. Single-CPS keeps
the blanket key-0 map (one key opens every unit, incl. orphan clips).
- decrypt_sectors_mapped: a trailing partial unit that is inside a mapped
range AND flagged encrypted in its clear seed now fails loud (a CBC
fragment split across a boundary can't be decrypted) instead of being
emitted as clear. New aacs_unit_seed_encrypted reads the flag on a
partial.
- Correct the stale decrypt_sectors doc (AACS arm now always errors;
AACS decrypts only via decrypt_sectors_mapped).
The mux's TrueHD 7.1/Atmos channel-correction probe built its
DecryptingSectorSource with no key map. Since AACS now decrypts only via
the resolved map, the mapless probe read failed loud on the first unit
and the correction was silently skipped on every AACS disc — 7.1/Atmos
stayed understated as the MPLS-declared 5.1. The probe now resolves the
same up-front key map the mux read installs (non-fatal on failure).
Delete the reactive per-read key-fetch recovery path
(DecryptingSectorSource::with_key_fetch, the recovery field/cipher
scratch, and sector/recovery.rs). It was unreachable: AACS resolves its
full key map up front, so a mapless AACS read is a bug, not a
recover-mid-read case. KeyFetch itself stays — it is the up-front
resolver fetch used by resolve_mux_key_map.
Every AACS decrypt now goes through the resolved key map (decrypt_sectors_
mapped): the map keys each content unit up front and a missing key fails at
resolve time. The old trial-decrypt path — try each held key per unit, keep
the first-tried plaintext on a miss — is gone; decrypt_sectors_impl's AACS
arm now fails loud (reaching it means a reader was built without its map,
which would silently apply a wrong key). CSS (self-descramble) and the clear
no-op path are unchanged.
Disc::sweep and Disc::patch resolve a whole-disc key map up front for a
decrypting pass (the fetch secures any missing CPS-unit key, fail-loud) and
decrypt via the map — clear nav/filesystem sectors are in no range and pass
through, so the separate content-range gate and the reactive per-unit
key-fetch recovery are no longer needed. extract_tree keys every unit with
the base Unit Key through the map (its encrypted-flag gate skips clear
files). Multipass sweeps stay --raw.
Removes the obsolete non-mapped-AACS trial/gate/recovery tests (the mapped
path and resolve fail-loud are tested directly).
The key map is now purely "these sectors use this key": entry_for returns
Option and an LBA in no range is left untouched (no default-decrypt-
everything fallback). resolve_mux_key_map builds explicit content ranges
for every case — single-CPS keys each content extent, multi-CPS keys each
extent with the key that opens it, and FMTS fills the non-segment content
with the base Unit Key so a whole-disc read decrypts content and passes
nav/filesystem through. Combined with the fail-loud resolve, a map can
never silently apply a wrong key, and clear sectors are never scrambled.
decrypt_sectors_mapped skips a unit with no map entry; read_plan keeps an
unmapped unit (pass-through content) and drops only alternate-phase
forensic units. Tests updated to the Option semantics.
mp4 demuxer (untrusted input): bound every allocation sized from a box
field (stsz/stco/stsc counts, stts/ctts run-lengths, per-sample and moov
sizes, plus an absolute cap so a sparse file can't inflate file_len);
guard the parse_stsd slice and a zero mdhd timescale; cap track count so
the per-track PID can't overflow; rewrite read_moov to handle size==0 /
size<8 / 64-bit largesize; parse esds/AudioSpecificConfig for AAC; write
tkhd duration in the movie timescale.
decrypt: resolve_mux_key_map now fails loud on an extent no key can
classify instead of inheriting the previous extent's key, so a keymap
never silently carries a wrong key; the sweep/patch key-fetch recovery
fails loud when a unit is still unresolved after the retry.
AACS: reject inverted forensic segments in both range builders; compare
the forensic index in u16 space so an out-of-range value can't truncate
onto a valid u8 index. RECOVERED_ERROR no longer latches the damage zone,
preserving the 30s wedge cooldown for a following hard error.
audio: AAC/MP2/MP3/FLAC carry the last PTS across a PES with no timestamp;
the DTS-HD extension-sync search is bounded to after the core; the MP4
16.16 sample-rate field saturates. demux_sink records the video reference
before the kind filter so audio:// / sub:// keep multi-clip PTS continuity
and the DELAY tag.
Remove a dead error variant and the AACS-unsupported-video code; codec
comments cite the primary format specs; assorted doc/naming fixes and
regression tests throughout.
Every DVD read path — the file-backed mux highway (build_iso_pipeline) and
the live-drive single-pass DiscStream — now resolves the per-VTS CSS title
key through one shared step, css::resolve_dvd_title_key, cracked keylessly in
playback order from the title's own extents. Removes the earlier design that
reused a single scan-time key (meaningless for a per-VTS scheme) and muxed a
detection-miss disc's scrambled sectors as garbage.
- Disc::scan no longer cracks a key up front; it does only the CSS bus-auth
read-unlock, hoisted before the UDF prefetch so scrambled small/menu VOBs
no longer cost a rejected read each (CSS-DVD scan ~25s -> ~6s).
- An uncrackable title hard-fails (E7023) instead of passing ciphertext as
plaintext; --raw skips the crack entirely; a Stop mid-crack surfaces Halted.
- DiscStream::new is now fallible and threads raw + halt.
- Fix a stale codec-parser doc claim (TrueHD/FLAC/MP2/AAC do gate via DropTally).
The prior wording described the round-1 'self-cracking per-sector' approach
that the audit replaced; rewrite it to match what ships (per-title crack in
playback order + scan-key reuse + loud hard-fail on an uncrackable title).
The last release left this pinned to the git tag v1.5.1; release.sh expects
a committed path dep on the branch tip (it swaps path -> git tag only in the
tagged commit, matching bdemu). Restores that state so a local full-workspace
build links the sibling freemkv-unlock, and release.sh's path->tag swap works.
A CSS DVD whose main title was mis-detected as unencrypted (the up-front
crack scanned the largest cell first and starved its budget in that cell's
clear prefix) muxed scrambled sectors as plaintext at exit 0. CSS leaves
the pack/PES header clear, so an un-descrambled sector muxes as a
structurally-valid but corrupt PES packet with zero loss reported.
decrypt_keys_for_title resolves a DVD title's CSS key two ways:
- Fast path: reuse the scan's cracked key when its crack_span covers this
title's VTS (no re-read; on a live drive no second bus-auth).
- Crack: on a detection miss or a different VTS, crack from the title's OWN
extents in a SINGLE scan in natural PLAYBACK ORDER (never largest-first).
One scan = one CSS-locked early-bail, so a locked title is not re-hammered
per cell against a live drive (hard rule #2); the 50k-sector budget is the
same accepted bound the disc-wide scan uses. Cracked -> key; Unencrypted
-> clear; ScrambledUncracked -> hard-fail.
ensure_title_decryptable hard-fails an uncrackable DVD title even when
detection missed, and passes a title that resolved its OWN valid key
regardless of the disc-wide css_error. descramble_region is unchanged from
v1.5.1 (validated-key seed).
Also rename the unlocker report's DVD entry CSS -> DVD. Bump 1.5.2.
Regression since the previous release, which added an MLP major-sync checksum
gate to drop genuinely-undecodable audio frames. The checksum itself was computed
with mismatched byte order: `crc16_mlp` is the correct crc_2D table (poly 0x2D,
MSB-first) but returns its two bytes in the OPPOSITE order to libavutil's
`av_crc`, and `mlp_major_sync_crc_ok` then folded in the pre-trailer word
little-endian while comparing the trailer big-endian. The net result never
matched a real major sync, so EVERY major sync was judged corrupt. That armed the
drop-forward on the first AU and, since no major sync ever validated to clear it,
collateral-dropped every following AU forever — the entire TrueHD track was
silently dropped. Its AUs then flushed only at mux end, so the track's blocks
landed physically after all the video: a decoder reading video+TrueHD had to
buffer the whole title to reach the first audio block and spiralled into an
unbounded memory runaway ("decoder ran out of memory"). Every TrueHD title
produced after the gate landed was affected; a title from the release before it
is clean. (The header-size parse — a frequent suspect for extended 7.1/Atmos
headers — is NOT the bug; it already matches ffmpeg's `mlp_get_major_sync_size`
byte-for-byte.)
Fix: compute the checksum exactly as ffmpeg's `ff_mlp_checksum16` —
`crc16_mlp(body).swap_bytes() ^ AV_RL16(word) == AV_RL16(trailer)`. Cross-verified
byte-exact against two real discs (a 7.1/Atmos title and a 5.1 title, independent
32-byte headers both validate). With the checksum correct, major syncs validate
and the drop-forward corruption protection works as intended.
Defence in depth: a major-sync checksum that STILL can't be validated (a genuinely
corrupt or as-yet-unparsed header) no longer arms the drop-forward until we hold a
validated baseline (`num_substreams` from a prior clean major sync) — so a single
bad header can never again silently drop an entire track.
Tests: the `finalize_major_sync` fixture now builds the checksum the corrected way;
a synthetic checksum-failed head major sync is kept, not dropped; the existing
baseline-then-corrupt drop-forward tests still pass. Verified end to end against a
real disc: the TrueHD track demuxes to a full, cleanly-decodable 48 kHz 8-channel
stream, interleaved with the video, instead of 0 bytes.
The HD DVD Title Key File (VTKF*.AACS) stores 64 title-key entries of 36 bytes
each — 1-byte BIFO + 3 reserved + 16-byte encrypted key + 16-byte binding MAC —
per AACS "HD DVD and DVD Pre-recorded Book" Table 3-8, confirmed byte-exact
against real discs (Freedom VTKF090, Dukes VTKF000: every 36-byte slot has
BIFO=0x80, a clean key, and a 0xFF binding MAC).
The parser used a 32-byte stride (a 12-byte pad in place of the 16-byte binding
MAC) with flag-based termination. That aligns entry #1 (key at offset 132, where
both strides agree) but drifts +4 bytes per entry after it and never terminates
(the previous entry's 0xFF MAC reads as a set present-flag), so it recovered a
correct key only for single-CPS-unit discs and garbage for CPS unit >=2. Every
multi-title HD DVD (Freedom, Harry Potter) was affected.
Fix: 36-byte stride, iterate the fixed 64 slots, take slots whose BIFO AV_FLG
(bit 7) is set, key at offset 4, slot index = CPS unit (skip empty slots rather
than terminate so a gap can't renumber later keys), and never read the trailing
16-byte TKF MAC as a key. Tests rebuilt on the real layout, including a full
64-entry file.
Also correct the VTKF-selection TODO in mod.rs: the AACS HD DVD Book gives the
selector explicitly (match the TKF's PLAYLIST_NAME field to the active
playlist), not the "validate against an encrypted unit" placeholder.
Reconciled against the new HD DVD reference (freemkv.org/docs/hddvd/); the spec
source is archived in freemkv-private/spec/.
The HD DVD AACS directory name and title-key filename are chosen by the
authoring house, but the resolver hardcoded a single spelling
(/ANY!/VTKF000.AACS, /ANY!/MKBROM.AACS, /ANY!/CONTENT_CERT.AACS). Real discs
diverge: Freedom (Memory-Tech) names its AACS dir AAC! and ships VTKF090.AACS
+ VTKF100.AACS; Harry Potter carries VTKF000/001/002/099. On such a disc the
hardcoded path finds nothing, so no MKB/title-key/cert is read and decryption
silently can't engage.
Replace the fixed HD DVD path constants with structural discovery:
- find_hddvd_aacs_dir() locates the AACS dir as the root child dir ending in
'!' that contains MKBROM.AACS (so the ..._BAK mirror is skipped; the dozens
of decoy advanced-content '!' dirs are excluded by the MKBROM.AACS guard).
- role_paths(udf, role) builds the ordered candidate list per role: the static
BD/UHD /AACS/ paths first, then the discovered HD DVD files — MKBROM.AACS,
CONTENT_CERT.AACS, and every VTKF*.AACS (sorted), not just VTKF000.
- read_first() is now generic over &str / String so it takes the Vec<String>.
BD/UHD unaffected (no '!' dir → discovery returns None, list is the /AACS/
constants exactly as before). Verified on real Freedom (AAC!/VTKF090+100) and
Dukes (ANY!/VTKF000) ISOs; unit tests cover both shapes.
Open item (TODO(hddvd-encrypted)): when a disc has multiple VTKF variants the
correct one must be chosen by validating its VUK-derived key against a real
encrypted unit rather than first-that-reads. Blocked on obtaining a genuinely
encrypted HD DVD image — all HD DVD ISOs on hand are already-decrypted rips.
A read was only ever judged "good" by the drive's SCSI GOOD status — with no
integrity check on the bytes. On dirty/marginal media a drive can silently
return best-effort ECC data (occasionally mis-corrected) with GOOD status, so a
rip could "pass clean" yet decode with errors, pushing corruption downstream to
the mux instead of catching it at the read.
Enable recovered-error REPORTING at drive-prep: MODE SELECT the Read-Write
Error Recovery page with PER=1 (TB on / DTE off so the data still comes back),
preserving the drive's own retry count. Marginal reads now surface as
CHECK CONDITION / RECOVERED ERROR. Best-effort — a drive that doesn't honor it
keeps its defaults (no regression), and on a clean disc nothing changes.
A recovered error is distrusted: it marks just that ECC block NonTrimmed for a
Pass N re-read (a clean re-read wins; a persistent marginal becomes an honest
concealed gap), and is counted in the pass summary. Crucially it takes a
per-block SkipBlock, NOT the damage-jump path — a single marginal sector must
not trigger a 64 MB skip that would discard good data on a lightly-smudged disc.
Give `info` the same forced-subtitle verdict the muxer derives during a
rip, so the two agree. A shared classifier (mux::codec::pgs::ForcedTracker)
folds a PGS track's display sets — forced iff every one carries the
forced_on_flag — and is used by BOTH the MKV writer and a new scan-time
probe that reads the title's PGS streams (reusing the TS demuxer and PGS
parser). The probe only overrides a track it actually observed content
for, so an undecrypted/unread stream keeps its vendor-derived flag. Gated
behind ScanOptions::probe_forced_subtitles (off for the rip path, which
detects forced while muxing without a second read).
Free-format MPEG-audio (bitrate_index 0) is a legal, decodable mode — the
decoder derives the frame size from the sync spacing. Dropping it was a
false positive on a clean stream, so it now passes the gate.
Three TrueHD state-machine fixes from an adversarial audit:
- A corrupt access unit drops forward to the next major sync, but only
the individually-verified corruption now feeds the whole-track poison
verdict; the resync run is collateral. A couple of transient errors can
no longer poison and discard an otherwise-good multi-hour track. The
shared drop tally gains a verified/collateral split for this.
- The per-AU PTS rate is refined only from a CRC-validated major sync, so
a corrupt major sync whose rate nibble decodes to another rate family
can no longer shift the resumed audio — a drop stays a silence gap.
- The resync clears only on a CRC-validated major sync, never on a runt
too short to hold and validate its header.
Flag a PGS subtitle track FlagForced when it displays subtitles and every
one carries the HDMV forced_on_flag (a dedicated forced/narrative track),
independent of the disc's vendor label metadata. The track header
reserves a FlagForced byte up front and it is promoted at finish() from
the accumulated display-set state. Only ever promotes — a track already
forced from the playlist metadata is never demoted.
A damaged audio access unit is now dropped rather than muxed as a
decoder-choking glitch. Sync is preserved — a drop becomes a silence
gap, never a shift — and every drop is logged. Detection is per-codec,
each mirroring the format's authoritative integrity check:
DTS core-header validity gates
AC-3/E-AC-3 native frame CRC-16 + bitstream-id range
FLAC whole-frame CRC-16 residue
MP2/MP3 header sanity + free-format reject
AAC-ADTS header sanity (raw AAC passes through untouched)
TrueHD/MLP major-sync CRC-16 + AU parity; corrupt AUs drop forward
to the next major sync, since decode state carries
across access units
LPCM and video are excluded by design (no in-frame integrity data;
inter-frame prediction). A shared DropTally handles counting, logging,
and a whole-track fallback for a mostly-undecodable track.
DTS-HD MA access units are a lossy core frame followed by trailing
extension substreams up to the next core sync. On source-damaged discs
(observed on the Bourne UHDs) the bytes where the XLL extension belongs
are neither a core sync nor an extension sync -- pure garbage -- which
desyncs ffmpeg's XLL decoder and cascades into 'Read past end of XLL
band data' / 'DSYNC check failed' across the whole track.
next_core_boundary now distinguishes three boundary states via a new
ext_clean flag on NextCore::Found:
- precise/recognized extension sync -> ext_clean=true (keep full AU)
- garbage at the boundary byte -> ext_clean=false (drop the ext)
When ext_clean is false we emit the DTS core alone (drop the smallest
junk piece, keep the frame and its PTS) and drain past the garbage to
the next core. Recognized-but-unsizeable extensions still ride the
heuristic scan and are kept intact, so lossless tracks are unaffected --
only genuinely corrupt extension bytes are dropped.
Bourne s1.dts: 1606 damaged frames / 691620 (0.232%), 93% isolated
single frames, worst run 3 in a row (~32ms lossy blip).
Parse the DTS core header (SFREQ/AMODE/RATE/LFF/NBLKS/FSIZE) → a ddts box
(sample rate, channel layout mask, core size, computed bitrate, LFE);
whole access units (core + DTS-HD extension substreams) pass through, so
an HD decoder finds the extension. dtsh when an extension sync follows the
core, else dtsc. Fit oracle now carries DTS / DTS-HD MA / DTS-HD HR.
Validated on 300 (real DTS-HD MA 7.1): freemkv's mp4 DTS track is
byte-identical to ffmpeg -c copy under ffprobe (dts / 48000 / 8ch / 7.1)
and decodes clean (exit 0). Channel layout correct.
moov now precedes mdat. At create() reserve a moov-sized hole (a free
box) between ftyp and mdat: reserve = round_up_4MB(16 B/sample ×
est_samples) + 4MB buffer, floored at 8MB. Because the hole precedes
mdat, sample offsets are fixed from the start — no rewrite, no offset
patch. finish() writes moov into the hole and pads the slack with a free
box; if the estimate is blown it falls back to moov-at-end. Streams over
HTTP without a pre-fetch. Reserve-math + box-order tests added.
Read side of mp4://: parse moov/trak/stbl (stsd codecs+hvcC/avcC/channel
info, stsz/stco/co64+stsc → per-sample offsets, stts+ctts → decode/
composition timing, stss → sync), rebuild a DiscTitle, and emit samples
as PesFrames in global decode order. Video NALs are length-prefixed in
MP4 — the exact framing the MKV muxer wants — so no reframing. Wired into
input() so mp4:// flows to every sink (mkv://, audio://, json://, …).
In-memory write→read round-trip test proves symmetry (streams, hvcC,
sample sizes survive). Progressive MP4 only; fragmented (moof) is future.
Make Mp4Sink generic over a seekable writer; the CLI output() arm wraps
the file in WritebackFile (as mkv:// does) so a UHD-scale mux to slow /
NFS staging avoids the dirty-page burst. The mdat backpatch is an
ordinary seek WritebackFile already handles (seek_then_patch_roundtrip).
Tests switched to in-memory Cursor writers.
Generalize the sink to N tracks: one video + every MP4-mappable audio
track. Audio sample entries built from the first frame's bitstream —
AC-3 (ac-3/dac3) and E-AC-3 (ec-3/dec3), parsing the (E-)AC-3 BSI for
fscod/bsid/bsmod/acmod/lfeon and the data rate. Per-sample audio
durations from PTS deltas (no reorder → no ctts, all sync). Fit oracle
(mp4_fit_report, exported): video HEVC/H264, audio AC-3/E-AC-3;
TrueHD/DTS/LPCM and bitmap subs are excluded with a typed reason so the
CLI can report exclusions — never a silent drop.
Verified vs ffmpeg -c copy on real discs: AVC+AC3 and HEVC(HDR10)+AC3
both frame-exact on every track (video 2650/4270, audio 5567/3454),
duration and colour identical, clean decode. On a pathological 4-clip
title ffmpeg's OWN output emits the same DTS-monotonicity warnings (more
of them) — source-inherent, not a muxer defect.
New mux/mp4: writes ftyp+mdat+moov (moov-at-end), streaming samples into
a 64-bit mdat and building the sample tables in memory, patched at
finish(). Video track (HEVC/AVC): passthrough length-prefixed NALs
(already MP4 framing), full stts/stsz/stsc/co64/stss and signed ctts,
CFR-derived decode timeline (pipeline carries presentation PTS only), and
a colr box for HDR10 colour signalling. hvc1/avc1 sample entry from the
hvcC/avcC codec_private. Fail-loud on codecs with no MP4 mapping.
Verified against ffmpeg -c copy on real discs: AVC-SDR (300) and
HEVC-HDR10 UHD (Dune) both frame-exact (8159 / 8160 frames), colour-exact
(bt2020/smpte2084/bt2020nc), and clean-decoding. Audio + fit oracle land
in M2.
Completes the per-track-class trio with audio:// / sub://. video:// is
the demux path with a TrackKind::Video kind filter — each video track to
its own native elementary stream (.hevc/.h264/.vc1/.m2v/.obu), no audio
or subtitles. Reuses the existing kind_filter machinery and extension
map; scheme/parse/output/write-only-guard arms added symmetrically.
The json:// sink previously emitted only codec + language + pid per
stream. Fill it out to the full DiscTitle: video carries resolution
(+ pixel dims, interlaced), frame rate (+ fraction), HDR, colour space,
display aspect, and measured CICP; audio carries channels (+ count),
sample rate (+ Hz), and editorial purpose; subtitles carry the
qualifier. Add the clip list and chapter names. This is everything the
scan resolved, so json:// is a lossless machine-readable view of a
title rather than a summary.
Two write-only file sinks that ignore the PES stream and emit the title
metadata at construction (fvi-style, wired through output()):
- chapters:// — chapter markers in the format the extension picks: .xml
(Matroska, default), .txt/.ogm (OGM simple), .vtt (WebVTT). Reuses the
existing chapters_xml/chapters_ogm writers; adds a WebVTT writer.
- json:// — one title's model (playlist, duration, size, format, streams,
chapters) as pretty JSON via serde_json.
New mux/meta_sink.rs; StreamUrl gains Chapters/Json; codec_label +
chapters_xml/ogm promoted to pub(crate) for reuse.
Tests: chapters_format_selected_by_extension, title_json_carries_streams_and_chapters.
