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).
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.
- 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.
MKV: cluster boundaries now require a video keyframe in addition to the
5s minimum, so every cluster has a CuePoint at its start. Pre-first-
keyframe frames are dropped. Adds a SeekHead at Segment start with
fixed-width back-patched SeekPositions for Info/Tracks/Chapters/Cues.
Before this change a 2h26m UHD rip had 52 CuePoints across ~1750
clusters and a 16.5-minute gap between adjacent seek entries; players
seeking inside that gap had to scan from the prior cue. After, one
CuePoint per cluster.
TS (tsmux production path + m2ts_mux): PesFrame.keyframe is plumbed
end-to-end. Codec-private parameter sets are prepended on the first
keyframe (not the first frame); non-key video before any keyframe is
dropped. The first TS packet of a keyframe video PES carries an
adaptation field with random_access_indicator=1. m2ts_mux previously
hardcoded RAI=1 on every PCR packet; that is now gated on the current
PES being a keyframe video PES, combining correctly with PCR when both
land on the same packet.
Adds 17 tests covering keyframe alignment, cue count/position/timing,
SeekHead correctness, RAI set/clear, codec_private gating, non-key drop,
and PCR+RAI combination.
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.

- Disc::copy() hardcoded batch=64 sectors, exceeding BU40N's 60-sector
hw limit. Now accepts batch_sectors param, defaults to 60.
- IFO PGC: playback time at offset 0x04 not 0x02, cell time at cell+4
- DiscStream: set demuxer from content_format (TS for BD, PS for DVD)
- Flush TS/PS demuxers at EOF to avoid losing last PES frame
- M2tsStream: flush demuxer at EOF
- StdioStream: FMKV metadata header for roundtrip compatibility
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.
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)
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.
