Carry per-picture truth and byte-exact source provenance THROUGH the stream so
the muxer (and the upcoming video index) read MEASURED facts instead of
assuming them. Honest data in, honest data out.
- codec/coding.rs: codec-agnostic PictureInfo (CodingType / FieldOrder + the
accessors field_order/coding_type/nb_fields/progressive/keyframe). Each codec
folds its raw signals in; consumers use only accessors, never branch on codec.
- mpeg2: builds PictureInfo from the picture coding extension and carries it +
SourcePos (source_marks, parallel to pts_marks) on every emitted frame.
- pes / codec::Frame: additive `coding` + `source`, forwarded through the
highway; None for audio/subtitle and the network/stdio deserialize hop.
- mkvstream: DEFER muxer construction until the first coded picture, set the
video track's FieldOrder from the MEASURED value, THEN write the header —
right the first time, no guess, no seek-back. An interlaced track that arrives
with no measured order is LOGGED loudly and left UNDETERMINED, never faked.
- mkv: MkvTrack::video no longer guesses TFF (a bitstream property the scan
cannot know is UNDETERMINED at build). Removed VideoStream::top_field_first
(the dead scan-time guess) crate-wide.
- Tests: parser population (every PictureInfo facet + per-PES source carry) and
mux-stream consumption (measured -> correct; missing -> UNDETERMINED, not
faked). Two obsolete tests updated only after confirming (their own comments)
they existed to enforce the deleted hardcoded-TFF.
- FieldOrder now derives from the bitstream's measured top_field_first
(Some(true)→TFF, Some(false)→BFF) instead of hardcoding TFF for all
interlaced content; falls back to TFF when unmeasured. Adds
VideoStream::top_field_first; DVD/BD scan sets None with a precise
TODO(spec) for parser→title plumbing.
- CICP (matrix/transfer/primaries/range) now prefers measured CICP from
the bitstream (VideoStream::measured_cicp) over the coarse ColorSpace
enum, so the container stops assuming a colour space the stream may
contradict. Enum remains the fallback.
- VobSub S_VOBSUB CodecPrivate now emits a `size: WxH` line ahead of the
palette per the .idx format so players place/scale subs correctly.
- SeekHead: when zero cues are written, the CUES Seek entry is Voided
instead of leaving a dangling pointer to the Cues offset (now Tags/EOF).
- AC-3 Channels back-patch offset is captured from the writer instead of
the hardcoded chan_elem_pos+2 (decoupled from the VINT width choice).
- Hoisted inline CICP codes and the dvcC fourcc to named constants citing
ITU-T H.273 / RFC 9559; fixed the stale FieldOrder comment.
- DefaultDuration vs pulldown: precise TODO(spec) left (needs the same
parser→title channel as top_field_first).
Tests: BFF-from-measured-flag, measured-CICP-overrides-enum, VobSub size:
line present/omitted, zero-cue SeekHead Void. precommit (1.86) green.
Fix three DVD video-attribute bugs surfaced by a PAL disc detected as
NTSC:
- PAL/NTSC: parse video_format from VTS_V_ATR bits 5-4, not bits 1-0
(the old mask read permitted_df, so PAL 576i/25fps was mis-detected
as NTSC 480i/29.97). Named consts replace the magic bit positions.
- Anamorphic aspect: write MKV DisplayWidth/Height from the disc's
display_aspect (16:9 720x576 -> 1024x576) instead of square pixels,
so 16:9 DVDs no longer render as 4:3.
- Colour: stamp SD colorimetry (PAL=BT.470BG, NTSC=SMPTE-170M) instead
of BT.709 (HD).
Adds VideoStream.display_aspect (threaded through every muxer) plus
TvSystem/DvdAspect/ColorSpace plumbing, with regression tests. Removes
the deprecated Disc mux set_halt bridge (use with_halt).
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.
Subtitle/DVD output-corruption + stream-mapping coverage fixes.
1. DVD subtitle/audio track-mapping collision (CRITICAL). The PS path
routed 0xBD private-stream packets to a track via (sub_id & 0x1F)+1,
so VobSub subtitle sub-id 0x20+j aliased audio track j+1: subtitle
PES was fed to the AC-3 parser and the real subtitle track got
nothing. Route by the canonical DVD PID instead via a new
PsPacket::dvd_pid() that mirrors scan_dvd_titles' PID assignment
(video 0xE0, audio 0xBD00+i, subtitle 0x20+j), then look up the
track in pid_to_track. Fixed identically at all three sites
(pipelined_stream consume_ps, disc.rs live feed, disc.rs EOF flush).
Unmappable/unmapped packets now WARN instead of silently dropping.
2. PGS flush() missing. PgsParser inherited the no-op default flush, so
the last subtitle of every PGS track (emitted only when a following
PCS arrives) was dropped at EOF. Implemented flush() to drain the
pending display set (duration_ns: None for the trailing block).
3. DVD VobSub multi-PES SPU not reassembled. A subpicture unit larger
than one PES spans multiple PES (only the head carries a PTS).
DvdSubParser is now stateful: it buffers per sub-stream until the
leading 2-byte SPU_size is satisfied, inherits the head PTS, and
emits one Frame. flush() drains a truncated trailing SPU at EOF.
4. One-table hygiene. scan_streams had a duplicate stream_type->Codec
table that had drifted from Codec::from_coding_type (missing 0x80
LPCM, 0x85 mapped to DTS-HD MA vs HR, etc.). scan_streams now uses
from_coding_type plus a new Codec::kind()/CodecKind category split,
so the two mappings can never diverge. Silent drops in
scan_streams and bluray STN parsing now WARN with PID + type.
Tests: dvd_pid mapping + subtitle/audio collision regression, PGS
final-subtitle flush, VobSub multi-PES reassembly + EOF flush,
scan_streams 0x80 LPCM via from_coding_type.
WO-2 (delete SectorReader trait):
- The 0.18 trait split into SectorSource (read-only) and SectorSink
(write-only) is final; the legacy SectorReader alias was a bridge.
- Renames every internal &mut dyn SectorReader (~25 sites) to
&mut dyn SectorSource. The trait method capacity() becomes
capacity_sectors() with a default of 0 (preserves SectorReader's
default-0 behavior).
- Deletes the SectorReader trait, its blanket-to-Source bridge, and
the FileSectorReader type alias. Adds explicit forwarding impls
for Box<dyn SectorSource> and &mut dyn SectorSource so generic
decorators like DecryptingSectorSource<S: SectorSource> compose.
WO-3a (extract Disc::patch):
- Moves Disc::patch (1230 lines) and bytes_bad_in_title from
disc/mod.rs into disc/patch.rs as a split inherent impl. Zero
behavior change — pure mechanical relocation. disc/mod.rs drops
from 3,945 to 2,714 LOC.
WO-6 (partial):
- Deletes src/labels/png_filenames.rs — was a 72-LOC stub with
detect() returning false, never wired into the PARSERS registry.
project docs doc drift fixes (audited 2026-05-13):
- JUMP_BASE_SECTORS: 256→1024 (64 MB base for UHD, not 8 MB)
- PASSN_DAMAGE_THRESHOLD_PCT: 12→6
- PASSN_SKIP_SECTORS_BASE: 64→32
- MAX_RANGE_SECS=180: replaced by proportional range_sectors × 25,
capped at RANGE_BUDGET_CAP_SECS=1800.
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).
Use UDF file_extents() to read actual allocation descriptors instead
of assuming m2ts files are contiguous from file_start_lba. Dual-layer
UHD discs split large files across 70+ extents (~1 GB each) — the old
code created one extent from packet count which only covered the first
chunk, causing silent truncation at ~37%.
Also changed fill_extents() to return io::Result<bool> so read errors
propagate instead of being silently treated as EOF.
Design fix: codec_privates are now a field on DiscTitle, not a separate
parameter passed through the pipeline. This eliminates the root cause of
the network codec_private bug (forgot to pass the separate param).
API changes:
- output() takes (url, &DiscTitle) — no separate codec_privates param
- MkvOutputStream::create, M2tsOutputStream::create, NetworkOutputStream::connect
all read codec_privates from title.codec_privates
- M2tsMeta::from_title() takes only &DiscTitle — reads privates from title
- Deleted from_title_with_privates (was the wrong-name duplicate)
- Merged read_header + read_header_from_stream into one read_header(impl Read)
- Deleted finish(self) from TsMuxer, keep only finish(&mut self)
Rule: ONE public method per action. No _with_X, _from_Y, _ref variants.
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>.
