When an AACS-encrypted ISO is muxed with decryption requested (not --raw)
but key resolution yielded no usable key, input() proceeded to mux the
still-encrypted stream — emitting ~100 MB of garbage (no TS syncs, demuxer
emits nothing) and sometimes spinning for tens of minutes.
Add a cheap result-check in resolve::input()'s Iso branch via the pure
predicate aacs_key_missing(raw, has_aacs, keys): when decryption is
requested AND the disc carries AACS state AND decrypt_keys() is None,
return new Error::NoDiscKey { disc_hash } (E7022) before muxing. The
40-hex disc hash is sourced from AacsState::disc_hash. --raw and
non-AACS (unencrypted / CSS) discs are unaffected. Unit-tested.
correct_truehd_channels() probes the first DECRYPTED access units of the
chosen title (TrueHD PIDs, bounded 8 MiB read of the first extent) and
sets AudioStream.channels from the MLP major sync — fixing the MPLS
audio_format understatement (5.1 declared on a 7.1/Atmos TrueHD track).
Regenerates the basic codec label for the corrected count; richer
editorial labels are left untouched. Wired in resolve.rs input() for
iso:// after decrypt_with (the m2ts is only decryptable post-key), using
a fresh reader so the mux reader is undisturbed. generate_audio_label
made pub(crate).
- mux input(): propagate a failed decrypt_with rather than muxing an
undecryptable stream silently (review M6).
- Scrub synthetic but key-SHAPED hex (HOST_PRIV_KEY/DEVICE_KEY/disc-entry) from
the keydb parser tests to obvious zero/repeated-byte placeholders. No real or
real-looking key material in code.
The library no longer loads a keydb anywhere. The scan path always captures the
disc's AACS inputs (MKB, VID, Unit_Key_RO.inf) and resolves NO key; a caller
resolves a Key from a key source and applies it via Disc::decrypt_with.
- ScanOptions loses keydb_path / unit_key / disable_keydb (and the path search);
it now carries only optional DriveCredentials (host certs) for the live-drive
AACS handshake. do_handshake_cert uses those instead of loading the keydb.
An unlocked / LibreDrive drive takes the OEM Volume-ID path and needs none.
- The mux input() path takes caller-resolved unit_keys instead of a keydb_path,
and applies them via decrypt_with.
- Deleted the now-dead inline resolve_encryption / resolve_encryption_static.
All 700+ lib tests pass.
A caller that resolves Unit Keys out-of-band can now set disable_keydb
so the scan consults no keydb at all — neither an explicit keydb_path
nor the standard search locations. Without it, a keydb that merely sits
in a default location ('~/.config/...') silently shadows the out-of-band
path. unit_key still takes precedence over everything.
The ScanOptions.unit_key path is a generic primitive — a caller-supplied Unit
Key that bypasses keydb lookup. Doc comments + a tracing log named a specific
external source; reworded to neutral 'out-of-band / external key service' so
the library makes no assumptions about where the key came from.
Two coherent additions to the AACS resolver:
KeyProvider abstraction (provider.rs) — key material comes from pluggable
backends; KeyDb implements it (device/processing keys, host certs,
disc-by-hash / disc-by-vid lookup) plus orphan-DK parsing. ResolveContext
takes a provider array. Adds the SD-tree PK walker
(derive_media_key_from_pk_walked) and a `probe` module (km_verifies MK
oracle, mkb_* record parsers) used for offline key verification. Cvalue
record selection prefers 0x05, falls back to 0x07.
External-UK key source — the second, mutually-exclusive key source for the
keyserver path. ScanOptions/InputOptions gain `unit_key`; when set,
resolve_encryption_static skips keydb entirely and uses the caller-supplied
Unit Key directly (KeySource::ExternalUk). Disc::read_aacs_inputs exposes a
disc's Unit_Key_RO.inf + MKB so a caller can fetch the UK out-of-band; the
library makes no network call itself.
CHANGELOG: redact test-disc title in historical notes.
* `PrefetchedSectorSource::new_with_events` adds an optional
`event_fn` callback that fires `BytesRead` after every successful
batch from the producer thread. The original `new()` becomes a
thin no-events wrapper. Lets autorip wire the highway and still
get UI progress events without polling the consumer side.
* `build_iso_pipeline` grows an `event_fn` arg so the autorip
multipass mux can pipe BytesRead straight through to its progress
UI.
* Stream trait gains a default `errors() -> u64` method (= 0) so
Box<dyn Stream> callers (autorip's mux loop) can read the
skip-on-error counter without downcasting. `DiscStream` overrides
to return its `errors` field.
* Delete `DiscStream::new_pipeline` and the pipeline-mode fields
(`demux_thread`, `demux_rx`) plus the `read_pipeline` helper.
All pipeline construction now goes through
`PipelinedPesStream` via `build_iso_pipeline`; `DiscStream`
becomes the single-thread-only inline path used by the drive
single-pass read.
* `lib.rs` re-exports `build_iso_pipeline`.
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.
Four targeted changes to maximize mux throughput regardless of storage
backend (local SSD, local HDD, NFS, network share) and surface enough
log data to diagnose 'mux slow' reports without a re-rip:
1. POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL on FileSectorSource::open (Linux only).
Widens the kernel readahead window for sequential ISO reads. One
syscall at open, free on every storage type.
2. POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED on the ISO read side after every 32 MiB chunk.
Mirrors the writeback DONTNEED that already runs on the write
side. Keeps the read-side page cache bounded during multi-GB ISO
reads — eliminates the OOM-pressure / eviction-storm risk on
long mux runs. Linux only; per-drop trace at target="mux".
3. WritebackFile::create_with_size_hint(path, size_bytes) calls
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE) on Linux to pre-reserve extents
for the output. Reported file size stays 0 (writes grow it
naturally) but the on-disk extent allocation is contiguous —
reduces extent fragmentation for big sequential muxes. Wired
into mkv:// and m2ts:// output paths via DiscTitle::size_bytes.
No-op on macOS/Windows; old create() kept with #[allow(dead_code)]
for callers without a size hint.
4. Adaptive WRITEBACK_CHUNK_BYTES in the Linux writeback pipeline.
Tracks sync_file_range(WAIT_AFTER) elapsed_ms in a rolling
16-sample window. p95 > 200 ms → double chunk size (cap 256 MiB).
p95 < 20 ms → halve (floor 4 MiB). One algorithm, both
fast-storage (small chunks, responsive) and slow-storage (big
chunks, fewer commit round-trips) optimized. Per-chunk trace +
per-32-chunk debug snapshot + info-on-resize so an operator can
see where the autoscaler settled.
All four are universal — no storage-type detection, no env vars to
flip, no per-deploy tuning required. Total +201/-6 across four files.
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.
The 0.18 trait split into FrameSource (read-only) and FrameSink
(write-only) was an over-engineered API. Consumers don't think
"frame source backed by MKV" — they think "open MKV for reading".
The split paid a real API-complexity cost (two trait names, two
re-exports, dual impls per bidirectional type, deprecation bridge)
for one marginal property: compile-time direction-safety at the
trait-object boundary. The runtime error path on a wrong-direction
call (StreamReadOnly / StreamWriteOnly) is unambiguous and rare in
practice.
Deletions:
- pes::Stream is no longer #[deprecated]
- pes::FrameSource trait + its blanket-from-Stream bridge
- pes::FrameSink trait + the trampoline impls on every concrete type
- The compile-time-direction-safety test scaffolding
- Crate-root FrameSource / FrameSink re-exports
Additions:
- Stream is now Send-bounded (Stream: Send supertrait). Every
concrete impl was already Send-compliant — Box<dyn Read + Send>
and Box<dyn Write + Send> were already in place on the trait
objects MkvStream / M2tsStream / etc hold internally. Promoting
Send into the trait makes Box<dyn Stream> Send too, which lets
autorip drop its SendStream unsafe newtype.
The public API is now: one Stream trait, one concrete type per
format, two constructors (open/create or input/output). Bidirectional
types route through internal Mode { Read | Write } discriminants.
Net: -347 lines libfreemkv, -38 lines autorip, -5 lines freemkv.
Per-impl migration of MkvStream / M2tsStream / NetworkStream /
NullStream / StdioStream from the deprecated pes::Stream trait
to the typed pes::FrameSink trait. Both impls coexist during
the 0.18 deprecation window — the existing Stream impls are
unchanged.
The FrameSink::finish signature differs (Box<Self> vs &mut self),
which is why this couldn't be a blanket impl. Each migration
re-borrows the box and delegates to the underlying Stream::finish
body.
FrameSink: Send forced two struct fields (M2tsStream's boxed
Write/Read, MkvStream's boxed WriteSeek/Read) to gain `+ Send`
bounds — minimum surface needed to make the Send-bounded trait
impl-able. mux::resolve::output's local Box<dyn WriteSeek>
construction picks up the same `+ Send`. tests/streams.rs's
shared `stream.write/.finish/.info/.read` calls were
disambiguated to `PesStream::*` to resolve the now-multiple
candidates from coexisting trait impls.
Caller migration (mux::resolve::output return type, autorip,
CLI) is a later slice. This commit only adds new impls; nothing
removed.

Splits the bidirectional pes::Stream into one-direction traits so
calling read() on a write-only sink is a compile error instead of
runtime E9001. Keeps Stream alive as deprecated through 0.18 with a
blanket FrameSource impl so existing concrete types compile unchanged.
FrameSink can't be blanket-impl'd from Stream (different finish
signature), so concrete impls migrate per-type in a follow-up.
Concrete `impl pes::Stream for X` blocks in mux/* and the existing
tests gain a one-line `#[allow(deprecated)]` to keep `-D warnings`
clean during the deprecation window — no behavior changes.
See (internal)/memory/0_18_redesign.md.

The type's job is the bounded-cache writeback pipeline (sync_file_range
+ posix_fadvise(DONTNEED)) — not generic writing. The 0.17 name was
ambiguous; reading `Writer::new(file)` gave no hint about what was
special. New name makes the role obvious at every call site.
Adds `WritebackFile::create(path)` and `WritebackFile::open(path)`
constructors so callers don't have to assemble a `File` first.
No alias kept; this is a clean 0.18 rename. See
(internal)/memory/0_18_redesign.md.
Single contributor: MattJackson.
The bounded-cache writeback wrapper (crate::io::Writer) was added in
0.17.10 and wired into Disc::sweep in 0.17.11, but the other two
paths in the crate that write large amounts of data sequentially —
Disc::patch and the MKV/M2TS mux — were still operating on raw
std::fs::File. That meant the dirty-page burst pathology the wrapper
exists to prevent could still bite on slow / network-attached staging
during recovery and mux phases.
This release plugs those gaps:
- Disc::patch (disc/mod.rs:1981) now wraps the reopened ISO in
Writer before any seek / write. sync_all on Writer cleanly drains
the in-flight chunk before the existing fsync.
- mux/resolve.rs MKV and M2TS branches wrap the output File in
Writer underneath BufWriter. UHD MKV mux routinely produces 70+ GB
of sequential output; the page cache no longer absorbs that as a
single hot blast on slow targets.
Mapfile, log, settings, history, and stream-pipeline byte buffers
remain unchanged: those are either small one-shot writes (where
the wrapper has zero benefit and adds a stream_position syscall) or
already use bounded persistence (mapfile time-batched in 0.17.12).
The principle: any path that writes substantial sequential data to
a single file uses Writer; trivial writes don't.
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).
A stream is a stream. DiscStream::new() takes reader + title + keys +
batch + format — same pattern as every other stream constructor.
Deleted: open_drive(), open_iso(), from_reader() — these were helper
functions that chained multiple operations. Library provides primitives,
callers decide the sequence.
Removed disc:// case from input() — callers use Drive::open() +
Disc::scan() + DiscStream::new() directly for disc sources.
Architecture:
- One stream per format, bidirectional PES (read/write on same type)
- IsoStream merged into DiscStream (one type, any SectorReader)
- Disc::copy() for disc→ISO raw sector dump
- IOStream trait deleted, all byte-level Read/Write removed
- ContentReader/OpenDisc/open_title/open_input/open_output deleted
- CountingStream wrapper for progress tracking
Error codes:
- All io::Error English strings replaced with Error enum variants
- From<Error> for io::Error conversion
- Unused variants removed, new stream/mux variants added
Deleted: mkvout.rs, pesout.rs, isowriter.rs, mkv-muxer-plan.md
Updated: all docs, README stream table, CHANGELOG
238 tests, 0 clippy warnings.
Design fix: codec_privates are now a field on DiscTitle, not a separate
parameter passed through the pipeline. This eliminates the root cause of
the network codec_private bug (forgot to pass the separate param).
API changes:
- output() takes (url, &DiscTitle) — no separate codec_privates param
- MkvOutputStream::create, M2tsOutputStream::create, NetworkOutputStream::connect
all read codec_privates from title.codec_privates
- M2tsMeta::from_title() takes only &DiscTitle — reads privates from title
- Deleted from_title_with_privates (was the wrong-name duplicate)
- Merged read_header + read_header_from_stream into one read_header(impl Read)
- Deleted finish(self) from TsMuxer, keep only finish(&mut self)
Rule: ONE public method per action. No _with_X, _from_Y, _ref variants.
Bug 1: M2TS roundtrip dropped frames — TsMuxer converts length-prefixed
NALs to Annex B, prepends VPS/SPS/PPS from HEVCDecoderConfigurationRecord.
Bug 2: MKV remux lost codec_private — MkvStream.codec_private() now returns
data from EBML header.
FMKV header carries codec_private (base64) per video stream for lossless
M2TS roundtrip.

- 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.
