configure: check for python3 existence
video_out: fix crash when VO autoselection fails

init_best_video_out() did not manage the memory for vo->window_title
correctly, and free'd it twice when initialization failed (that's due
to talloc_free_children() being called). When the next VO was tried,
it reused the dangling pointer. Initialize this member somewhere else
lazily instead.
vo_vdpau: fix crash when vo_vdpau initialization fails

This happened on system without a vdpau driver installed. It's
especially bad because vdpau is the default VO.

I'm not sure when this bug was introduced, and it seems to exist in
upstream mplayer2 too.
command: expand properties for "run" command

Change "run" command to expand properties.

stream_file: print strerror() when failing to open a file

stream_file always printed "File not found" if it could not open a
file, even though this could be due to other reasons such as
permission problems. Print strerror() information instead. This
changes the output for "mplayer /etc/shadow" from
File not found: '/etc/shadow'
to
Cannot open file '/etc/shadow': Permission denied
ad_ffmpeg: add sanity check against decoder overreads

The libavcodec Musepack SV8 decoder returned 2 bytes consumed for 1
byte input, which triggered a crash due to negative input packet size
later. Add a sanity check to prevent crashes with this type of minor
decoder overreads. Also add a check to parser consumed data.
demux_lavf: assume audio codec_tag 0 means unset

Libavformat does not distinguish between "no codec_tag given" and
"codec_tag given, value is 0". 0 can be a valid value. Change
demux_lavf to assume that 0 always means unset for audio. This
prevents incorrect selection of the PCM decoder, which includes
"format 0x0" in its codecs.conf entry. The video case accepts 0 iff
codec_id is RAWVIDEO, but there's no obvious similar check possible
for audio. Thus this could possibly cause issues if a file really uses
0 to mean uncompressed audio.
Remove win32/qt/xanim/real binary codecs loading

Remove the win32 loader - the win32 emulation layer, as well as the
code for using DirectShow/DMO/VFW codecs. Remove loading of xanim,
QuickTime, and RealMedia codecs.

The win32 emulation layer is based on a very old version of wine.
Apparently, wine code was copied and hacked until it was somehow able
to load a limited collection of binary codecs. It poked around in the
code segment of some known binary codecs to disable unsupported win32
API calls to make them work. Example from module.c:

    for (i=0;i<5;i++)  RVA(0x19e842)[i]=0x90; // make_new_region ?
    for (i=0;i<28;i++) RVA(0x19e86d)[i]=0x90; // call__call_CreateCompatibleDC ?
    for (i=0;i<5;i++)  RVA(0x19e898)[i]=0x90; // jmp_to_call_loadbitmap ?
    for (i=0;i<9;i++)  RVA(0x19e8ac)[i]=0x90; // call__calls_OLE_shit ?
    for (i=0;i<106;i++) RVA(0x261b10)[i]=0x90; // disable threads

Just to show how utterly insane this code is. You wouldn't want even
your worst enemy to have to maintain this. In fact, it seems nobody
made major changes to this code ever since it was committed.

Most formats can be decoded by libavcodecs these days, and the loader
couldn't be used on 64 bit platforms anyway. The same is (probably)
true for the other binary codecs.

General note about how support for win32 codecs could be added back:

It's not possible to replace the win32 loader code by using wine as
library, because modern wine can not be linked with native Linux
programs for certain reasons. It would be possible to to move DirectShow
video decoding into a separate process linked with wine, like the
CoreAVC-for-Linux patches do. There is also the mplayer-ww fork, which
uses the dshownative library to use DirectShow codecs on Windows.
Remove dvdnav support (DVD menus)

When the internal mplayer MPEG demuxer was removed (commit 1fde09db),
the default demuxer when using dvdnav was set to libavformat. Now it
turns out that this doesn't work with libavformat. It will terminate
playback right after the audio runs out (instead of looping it like the
video, or whatever it's supposed to do). I'm not sure what exactly the
problem is, but since 1. even mplayer-svn can't handle DVD menus
directly (missing highlights), 2. DVD menus are essentially worthless,
and 3. I don't directly watch DVDs, don't bother with it and remove it.

For basic playback, there's still libdvdread support.

Also, use pkg-config for libdvdread, and drop support for in-tree
libdvdread. Remove support for in-tree libdvdcss as well.
VO: remove vo_directfb2 and vo_directx

While being able to play videos on a framebuffer device would be nice,
I didn't need it, and couldn't even test it (buggy nvidia binary
drivers that disable framebuffers, buggy DirectFB that crashes when
using the X11 backend). It's just dead weight, get rid of it.

vo_directx was very horrible, and by today it's mostly useless. I didn't
remove it, because there was that-guy who told me in amazement how
awesome mplayer was, because it was the only video player fast enough
for fast playback on his system when using vo_directx. Sorry, that-guy.
