Test-hardening release, no runtime changes. Adds spec-grounded unit tests
across the silent-corruption surfaces — UDF/MPLS/CLPI/IFO parsing, BD/DVD
title + extent assembly, AACS/CSS key handling, TS/PS demux + codec parsers,
MKV/EBML container output, the mux pipeline, sector prefetch + decrypt
decorator, drive/SCSI sense decoding, label extraction, and core I/O. Each
test is grounded in the format spec or real on-disc behavior and verified to
fail under a targeted source mutation. No behavior changed.
Library-wide review-and-fix pass: tightened AACS keydb/handshake/variant
handling and trailing-partial-unit policy, corrected MPLS mark offset and
added UDF allocation bounds, hardened the mux/codec framing and M2TS paths,
guarded SCSI READ CAPACITY short transfers and unified error mapping, added
overflow guards on untrusted disc input, and made prefetch shutdown
deterministic. Release profile now builds with thin LTO + single codegen unit.
H.264 stored SPS/PPS in single Option slots and always stripped them
from frame data, so a mid-title parameter-set redefinition (same id,
different body) was lost — those frames decoded against the stale avcC
copy the player re-applies at each keyframe. Same defect class as the
HEVC PPS-redefinition bug. Mirror that fix: emit a changed SPS/PPS
in-band at every occurrence; strip only the first-seen / identical ones.
Also guard avcC's 16-bit NAL length fields: a param set > 65535 bytes
truncated the length while appending all bytes. Return None instead.
The video codec parsers (HEVC, H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2) used
pes.dts.or(pes.pts) as each frame's timestamp. MKV block timecodes
are presentation timestamps; frames are stored in decode order and
the player reorders for display by timecode. Using DTS makes the
timecode monotonic in storage order, presenting B-frames in decode
order — visible motion judder / wrong frames on playback, and
PTS-based seeking lands on the wrong frame.
The compressed video was always byte-correct (verified by NAL-level
diff against a known-good demux); this was purely a timestamp defect
affecting every B-frame title. Fix: prefer PTS (pes.pts.or(pes.dts)).
Verified on a real UHD iso->mkv: emitted PTS now reorders for
B-frames identically to a reference muxer.
Update the two tests that asserted the old DTS-preferred behavior and
add an HEVC regression test pinning PTS as the block timecode.
- MkvTrack::audio emits A_DTS/MA, A_DTS/HR, A_DTS per the DTS family
instead of mislabelling everything as A_DTS. Plex transcoder and
strict hardware decoders reject DTS-HD MA payload under a plain
A_DTS track.
- PgsParser is now stateful: pairs display PCS with the following
empty PCS to compute a duration. Frame::duration_ns + PesFrame::duration_ns
carry it through; MkvMuxer::write_frame gains a final Option<u64>
parameter that emits BlockGroup + BlockDuration when set. Fixes
subtitle bitmaps lingering past their intended end-time.
Introduces the freemkv mux throughput highway: a three-stage thread
pipeline that replaces the inline single-thread read path for any
file-backed source (ISO and m2ts file URLs both route through it).
Thread A: read + decrypt (PrefetchedSectorSource / BytePrefetcher)
Thread B: M2TS demux (DemuxThread)
Thread C: codec parse (PipelinedPesStream, on caller thread)
Each handoff uses a bounded crossbeam channel with a recycled buffer
pool — no allocations or memcpys in the steady-state hot loop.
Component map:
* io/byte_prefetcher.rs (new) — std::io::Read producer thread with
recycled Vec<u8> pool. Pairs with PrefetchedSectorSource (sector
side) so demux_thread::spawn_zero_copy can wire either upstream.
* sector/prefetched.rs — recycled buffer pool added; into_channels()
peels off the rx/recycle_tx/shell triple for zero-copy demux.
* mux/demux_thread.rs (new) — owns the TsDemuxer/PsDemuxer, runs
feed() on its thread, ships Vec<PesPacket> batches.
* mux/pipelined_stream.rs (new) — the read-side Stream impl. Pulls
packets from the demux thread and runs codec parse on the caller.
* mux/resolve.rs — build_iso_pipeline (public) / build_m2ts_pipeline
(private) assemble the three stages; iso:// and m2ts:// both
return PipelinedPesStream.
* mux/m2ts.rs — collapsed to a write-only sink (Mode::Read deleted;
the read direction lives on the highway now).
* mux/codec/h264.rs — find_start_code uses memchr SIMD memmem::find.
* mux/codec/hevc.rs — tightened frame_data initial capacity.
* mux/ts.rs — boundary-packet handling avoids the per-batch 16 MiB
remainder copy; PesAssembler starts at 16 KiB to dodge the 64-page
first-touch fault tax that the previous 256 KiB pre-alloc paid on
every PES boundary.
* mux/disc.rs — gains DiscStream::new_pipeline + read_pipeline as
the legacy autorip ingress (drive + multipass paths still need
on_event / skip_errors before they migrate to the highway).
* io/file_sector_source/* — per-OS prefetch() syscall hook
(Linux readahead, macOS F_RDADVISE, Windows/other no-op).
* decrypt.rs — FREEMKV_DECRYPT_THREADS renamed to FREEMKV_THREADS;
pool sized to all cores by default.
Measured on rip1 testbed (Civil War UHD, 62 GiB ISO → null://):
60 → 322 MB/s warm cache (old new_pipeline path)
60 → 660 MB/s warm cache (highway path, this commit)
60 → 126 MB/s sustained disk-bound
The IsoSectorReader baseline reader was deleted in favour of
FileSectorSource so the freemkv CLI and autorip exercise the same
read path.
Stream trait: read() returns PesFrame, write() accepts PesFrame.
A stream is a stream — you read from it or write to it.
No separate Input/Output traits.
API: libfreemkv::input(url) and libfreemkv::output(url, title, codecs)
Returns Box<dyn Stream>.
