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.
Verified zero callers across all consumer crates AND libfreemkv integration tests:
MUX_APP, Disc::{aacs_disc_hash,encrypted_content_ranges,inject_unit_keys},
locate_ranges, mapfile::{MapEntry,entries}, diag::dump_mkv_track,
DiscStream::{errors,lost_bytes} (read via accessors). Removed the unused mux
DemuxSink/FviSink crate-root re-exports (constructed internally by output() via
the direct module path). Staged demux option variants marked allow(dead_code).
The keyserver protocol now returns all 32 index keys as an array for a
forensic content sample (and a single-element array for plain content).
resolve_fmts_key_map sends one forensic batch and maps array element i to
segment index i+1, replacing the per-index blind-probe collection loop
that repeatedly hit the key service. Segment/index parsing and the
aligned-unit content classification are reworked to support this:
- rename variant_select -> index_select (per-index, not per-variant)
- content classification moves to is_clean(buf, ContentFormat) so the
unit selector emits only units the key service accepts
- segment.rs: parse IndividualSegment.tbl index tags + SPN ranges,
build contiguous LBA key ranges from the resolved 32-key array
- decrypt/decorator plumbing for the resolved per-index keys
Fail loud (FmtsKeyMissing) when the forensic query returns < 32 keys or
any segment index stays unresolved.
VC-1 HD-DVDs (e.g. Shaun of the Dead) carry video on MPEG-PS extended
stream id 0xFD, with the real stream selector in stream_id_extension
inside the PES extension. Parse that field so the video routes to a
distinct track (pid 0xFD00|ext) instead of being dropped.
Reframe VC-1 access units in AuAssembler with a dedicated Mode::Vc1:
an AU is delimited by the next frame BDU (0x0D) once a frame has already
been seen, so the sequence (0x0F) and entry-point (0x0E) headers that
precede an I-frame stay attached to the frame they describe. The old
single-start-code split stranded those headers on the prior AU, which
the decoder reported as bits-overconsumption and hard decode failures.
hddvd probe now tracks the video pid it detects and emits VC-1 on 0xFD.
Pairs with A2 (read-path NULL-TS concealment). When the demux assembler
sees a TS continuity gap it now stamps `discontinuity` on the next
completed PES; the codec-parse stage carries that onto a per-track
ResyncGate. After a gap on an inter-coded video track the gate drops
forward to the next IRAP/IDR keyframe so no frame with a dangling
reference reaches the muxer (an ffmpeg deep scan would otherwise report
a missing-reference / non-existing-PPS error). Audio and subtitle tracks
have no cross-frame references, so the gate is a no-op there.
- ts.rs: PesPacket gains `discontinuity`; PesAssembler tracks a sticky
pending_discontinuity flag set on CC gap / discontinuity_indicator and
carried to the next completed/flushed PES.
- resync.rs (new): ResyncGate — per-track arm-on-gap, drop non-keyframes
until the next keyframe disarms and resumes. Logs the resync + drop
count once at the keyframe.
- pipelined_stream.rs: precompute per-track is_video, apply the gate in
consume_ts. Out-of-range track index emits as-is (defensive).
Tests: ResyncGate unit tests; ts.rs gap-stamps-discontinuity; end-to-end
B1 video-drops-to-keyframe and audio-never-drops through PipelinedPesStream.
Port + adapt the freemkv native per-picture video index (FVI) from the
old feat/fvi-sink branch onto rc6's codec-agnostic PictureInfo model.
This is a surgical adaptation, not a merge.
Adaptations (fvi_sink.rs, videomap.rs, tests/fvi_pipeline.rs):
- Retarget from the removed crate::mux::codec::mpeg2::PictureInfo (raw
public fields) to rc6's authoritative crate::mux::codec::PictureInfo
in codec/coding.rs, via its accessors.
- type from coding_type() -> CodingType{I,P,B}; emitted for ANY frame
that carries coding (every video codec now fills it), with the
keyframe-flag I/P fallback only when coding is absent.
- Replace the mpeg2-only tff/rff/progressive members with codec-agnostic
members derived through the accessors: field_order (tff/bff/progressive)
and progressive, emitted ONLY when the codec measured the signal
(Option::Some) and omitted otherwise; plus nb_fields.
- Test fixtures rebuilt via PictureInfo::mpeg2(CodingType, Mpeg2Coding{..})
/ coding_type_only(..); added measured_cicp: None to VideoStream
literals for rc6's struct.
Honesty decision (key / random-access):
- The codec-agnostic PictureInfo carries NO GOP-closure (no closed_gop /
gop_start), so key is set from the frame's intra / decode-restart flag
(frame.keyframe == coding.keyframe() for video), NOT a fabricated
clean-RAP claim. The old gop member is honestly omitted. FVI_FORMAT.md
is updated to document this as a limitation: key is an intra picture /
parser-flagged decode-restart point; MPEG-2 open-GOP clean-RAP precision
(closed_gop) is not currently distinguished. §7.1 rewritten for the
new field_order/progressive/nb_fields members.
Wiring:
- mux/mod.rs: pub(crate) mod fvi_sink; pub(crate) mod videomap
(#[allow(dead_code)] on videomap — the VideoMap accumulator is staged
for side-channel reuse, sink builds records directly); pub use
fvi_sink::FviSink.
- mux/resolve.rs: add the fvi:// output scheme to StreamUrl, parse_url,
scheme(), path_str(), input() (write-only reject) and output()
(constructs FviSink), mirroring the mkv:///demux:// patterns.
Provenance fix surfaced by the end-to-end test:
- pipelined_stream::consume_ps was dropping the PS demuxer's byte-exact
source stamp (source: None) when rebuilding PesPacket, so PS/DVD-path
frames reached the mux/index with no provenance (FVI src null). Carry
ps.source through, matching the TS path; the real-pipeline fvi test now
sees the stamped src sectors.
Gate: cargo +1.86 fmt + clippy --lib -D warnings clean; cargo +1.86 test
--lib (2182 passed) and --test fvi_pipeline (2 passed); precommit.sh
libfreemkv green.
Delete re-implementations in the demux:// sink and wire to proven helpers;
keep only genuinely-new functionality.
- AnnexB reframing: delete the sink's local length_prefixed_to_annexb (it
break'd on a zero-length NAL, dropping the rest of the access unit) and
call the canonical append_length_prefixed_as_annex_b in mux::hevc, which
skips just the empty NAL.
- HEVC param sets: delete hvcc_param_sets; reuse hvcc_to_annex_b.
- avcC param sets: hoist as the new canonical avcc_to_annex_b in mux::hevc,
next to hvcc_to_annex_b (the symmetry point); the sink calls it.
- PGS .sup: emit a synthetic clear display set (empty PCS + END) at
pts + duration_ns so subtitles time out instead of lingering to EOF.
- TimelineContinuity: move verbatim into the shared mux::timeline module
(with the prev_offset straggler-remap intact) and use it from both the
MKV muxer and the demux sink; delete the sink's drifted TimelineRebase
copy (which lacked the straggler branch).
- VobSub .idx: emit the conventional 'id: <lang2>, index: 0' line mkvmerge
reads to assign the subtitle language; palette reuse unchanged.
- output(): seed DemuxOptions.base from title.playlist when non-empty.
New constants for the PGS clear-segment framing and avcC header cite the
public HDMV PGS (BD-ROM Part 3) and ISO/IEC 14496-15 specs.
Tests: a zero-length NAL mid-frame no longer truncates the AU; a frame with
duration_ns produces a .sup clear segment; existing demux tests stay green.
New write-only pes::Stream sink that taps the per-track PesFrame stream
(the seam right before MKV muxing) and writes each track to its own
elementary-stream file, plus chapters and per-audio-track delay metadata.
Purely additive — the MKV mux path is untouched.
- mux/demux_sink.rs: DemuxSink + EsWriter dispatch. Pass-through for
codecs whose Frame.data is already standalone ES (MPEG-2, VC-1, AC3/
E-AC3, DTS/DTS-HD, TrueHD, LPCM). Non-trivial writers:
- AnnexBWriter: reframes hvcC/avcC 4-byte-length-prefixed NALs to
Annex-B and prepends VPS/SPS/PPS parsed out of the codec_private
configuration record (HEVC .hevc / H.264 .h264).
- PgsSupWriter: rebuilds the HDMV 'PG' segment framing the parser
strips, with 90kHz PTS/DTS (.sup).
- VobSubWriter: writes raw SPUs to .sub and synthesizes the .idx
sidecar (palette + per-SPU timestamp/filepos).
- Delay-in-filename (mkvmerge-readable 'DELAY <n>ms') + chapter XML/OGM
export. TimelineRebase ports the MKV muxer's seamless-branch epoch
logic so per-track ES timestamps stay continuous across clip joins.
- mux/resolve.rs: StreamUrl::Demux variant + scheme/path_str/parse_url/
input(write-only)/output arms.
- mux/mod.rs: module + public type re-exports.
16 unit tests: Annex-B reframing, hvcC/avcC param extraction, delay
sign/rounding + mkvmerge-regex match, PGS .sup framing, VobSub .idx
synthesis, chapter XML/OGM, timeline rebase, and end-to-end file-keying
by track + track selection.
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.
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.
SocketSink + UdpSocketSink (`src/io/sink/socket.rs`) — sequential-only
TCP/UDP write destinations. SocketSink wraps BufWriter<TcpStream> with
1 MiB capacity, tunes SO_SNDBUF on construction, calls shutdown(Write)
on finish(). UdpSocketSink emits one datagram per write — caller
packetizes. Both impl Write+Send and thus satisfy SequentialSink via
the Phase 2 blanket; neither impls Seek, so RandomAccessSink is
correctly inaccessible (compile error to mux MKV onto a socket).
New sequential container muxers in src/mux/:
- hevc/ — raw HEVC Annex B elementary stream. Length-prefixed NALU
→ 00 00 00 01 NALU. hvcC parsing emits VPS/SPS/PPS once at stream
head. Fully ships.
- m2ts_mux/ — standard MPEG-TS (188-byte packets). Single program,
HEVC video on PID 0x100, optional AC3/TrueHD audio on PID 0x101.
PAT+PMT re-emitted every 250 packets; PCR stamped on video every
40 packets. Hand-rolled, no new deps. Distinct from the existing
BD-TS (192-byte) `mux::m2ts::M2tsStream` — that path stays as-is.
- fmp4/ — fragmented MP4. STUB: ftyp + minimal moov skeleton with
one HEVC video trak + mvex/trex. Media fragments (moof+mdat) are
TODO for v0.22.0 — write_video accumulates frames into a pending
buffer that finish() clears. Init segment is well-formed enough
that init_segment_starts_with_ftyp_then_moov asserts the box
chain.
17 new unit tests added (socket round-trip, HEVC Annex B conversion,
M2TS packet alignment + PAT/PMT cadence + per-PID CC, fMP4 box chain).
All 514 lib tests + 17 new = pass on Rust 1.86 (fmt + clippy + test
via (internal)/scripts/precommit.sh libfreemkv).
No new dependencies. No version bump. Don't-touch list clean.
Audit pass against the project docs "no English text in library code" rule.
Found 9 call sites that violated the contract by stuffing English into
io::Error::new(kind, "…") or by abusing Error::DeviceNotFound { path }
as a free-form description field. Each is now a typed Error variant.
New variants and codes: ScsiInterfaceUnavailable (E1004), DeviceLocked
(E1005), IoKitPluginFailed (E1006), UnsupportedPlatform (E2003),
PlatformNotImplemented (E2004), MapfileInvalid (E6011), DiscUrlNotDirect
(E9009).
labels::apply() previously pushed Commentary/Descriptive/Score/IME and
" (Secondary)" English literals into AudioStream.label, leaking into
MKV titles + autorip UI. AudioStream now exposes structured `purpose:
LabelPurpose`, SubtitleStream `qualifier: LabelQualifier`. Callers
translate to localized text. label keeps codec-formatting only.
API hygiene: 11 mux/* modules dropped from `pub` to `pub(crate)` —
their *types* are still re-exported from lib.rs, but the modules were
leaking low-level EBML/TS/network primitives. Stream trait gets a real
rustdoc explaining read-vs-write split. lib.rs grouped re-exports into
documented sections. ScanOptions::with_keydb() removed (one-method-per-
action rule); use struct literal.
Dead-code sweep: removed lookahead.rs (orphan, never declared as mod),
tsreader.rs (TsDemuxReader unused), ebml::{write_int,read_vint,SEEK_*},
ts::{scan_first/last_pts,scan_duration,SCAN_HEAD/TAIL_SIZE,take/set_
remainder}, MkvMuxer codec_private_slots/filled fields and
fill_codec_private method (deferred-codecPrivate path never used since
the v0.10 PES rewrite). cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean.
Tests: new error::tests for variant codes + Display "no English" guard +
io::ErrorKind mapping. 233 lib tests, all green (was 230).
Breaking: ScanOptions::with_keydb removed; mux/* modules pub(crate);
AudioStream and SubtitleStream gained required fields; UnsupportedDrive
{ product_revision: "Renesas not yet implemented" } no longer produced
(use PlatformNotImplemented).

Deleted: mkvout.rs, pesout.rs, isowriter.rs, mkv-muxer-plan.md
Updated: all docs, README stream table, CHANGELOG
238 tests, 0 clippy warnings.
Streams are streams — they take impl Read, not Read+Seek or File.
- MkvStream::open takes impl Read (was Read+Seek)
- EBML element skipping uses skip_bytes() instead of seek(Current)
- Byte position tracking uses remaining-bytes counter, not stream_position()
- Removed file_size from open (progress is CLI concern)
- M2tsStream::open takes impl Read (was Read+Seek)
- Buffers first 1MB for FMKV header / PMT scan
- Uses chain reader (buffered head + rest) for sequential reading
- Duration unknown without seeking (0.0) — CLI can set from metadata
- Removed ReadSeek trait (no longer needed)
- WriteSeek kept (MKV muxer container format requires seeking internally)
- Remove unused pes_buf field from M2tsStream and unused TS_PACKET/BD_TS_PACKET constants
- Replace match-with-single-pattern with if let (3 instances in drive/mod.rs)
- Replace match-can-be-? with ? operator for scsi::open call
- Add type aliases PesSetup and MkvHeaderResult to reduce type complexity
- Collapse identical if/else branches in tsmux.rs build_pes_header
- Use RangeInclusive::contains instead of manual range checks
- Make WriteSeek trait pub (was pub(crate) but leaked through pub fn)
- Remove empty line after doc comment in disc.rs
- Fix doc list item indentation in scsi/linux.rs (12 instances)
- Unified Stream trait: read() and write() on one type
- PesFrame serialize/deserialize for wire format
- TsDemuxReader: shared BD-TS demux for any Read source
- MkvStream: PES read from MKV (EBML → PesFrame)
- M2tsStream: PES read via TsDemuxReader
- Network/Stdio output: PES serialization directly (no BD-TS wrap)
- Network/Stdio input: deferred (needs PES deserialization protocol)
- TsMuxer for M2TS output from PES frames
- input() and output() functions return Box<dyn Stream>
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>.
- TsMuxer: PES frames → BD-TS packets (new, reverse of TsDemuxer)
- M2tsOutputStream: PES → TsMuxer → file
- NetworkOutputStream: PES → TsMuxer → TCP
- StdioOutputStream: PES frames → stdout
- NullOutputStream: discard
- MkvOutputStream: PES → MKV mux
- All outputs via open_pes_output()
- All inputs via open_pes_input() (ISO, disc)
- No byte-level fallback — everything is PES
- IOStream::keys() default returns DecryptKeys::None
- IsoStream and DiscStream override with real AACS/CSS keys
- Pipeline calls input.keys() instead of separate scan_keys()
- Streams are self-contained: read bytes + provide keys
