Adds a Qt Signal that mirrors mpv's `playback-restart` event. The
upcoming popout state machine refactor (Prompt 3) needs a clean,
event-driven "seek/load completed" edge to drive its SeekingVideo →
PlayingVideo and LoadingVideo → PlayingVideo transitions, replacing
the current 500ms timestamp suppression window in `_seek_pending_until`.
mpv's `playback-restart` fires once after each loadfile (when playback
actually starts producing frames) and once after each completed seek.
Empirically verified by the pre-commit-1 probe in
docs/POPOUT_REFACTOR_PLAN.md: a load + 2 seeks produces exactly 3
events, with `seeking=False` at every event (the event represents the
completion edge, not the in-progress state).
The state machine adapter will distinguish "load done" from "seek done"
by checking the state machine's current state at dispatch time:
- `playback-restart` while in LoadingVideo → VideoStarted event
- `playback-restart` while in SeekingVideo → SeekCompleted event
Implementation:
- One Signal added near the existing play_next / media_ready /
video_size definitions, with a doc comment explaining what fires
it and which state machine consumes it.
- One event_callback registration in `_ensure_mpv` (alongside the
existing observe_property calls). The callback runs on mpv's
event thread; emitting a Qt Signal is thread-safe and the
receiving slot runs on the GUI thread via Qt's default
AutoConnection (sender and receiver in the same thread by the
time the popout adapter wires the connection).
- The decorator-based `@self._mpv.event_callback(...)` form is used
to match the rest of the python-mpv idioms in the file. The inner
function name `_emit_playback_restart` is local-scoped — mpv keeps
its own reference, so there's no leak from re-creation across
popout open/close cycles (each popout gets a fresh VideoPlayer
with its own _ensure_mpv call).
This is the only commit in the popout state machine refactor that
touches `media/video_player.py`. All subsequent commits land in
`popout/` (state.py, effects.py, hyprland.py, window.py) or
`gui/main_window.py` interface updates. 21 lines added, 0 removed.
Verification:
- Phase A test suite (16 tests) still passes
- Module imports cleanly with the new Signal in place
- App launches without errors (smoke test)
Test cases for state machine adapter (Prompt 3 popout/state.py):
- VideoPlayer.playback_restart fires once on play_file completion
- VideoPlayer.playback_restart fires once per _seek call
The popout's VideoPlayer is constructed with no mpv attached — mpv
gets wired up in _ensure_mpv on the first set_media call. main_window's
_open_fullscreen_preview syncs preview→popout state right after the
popout is constructed, so it writes is_muted *before* mpv exists. The
old setter only forwarded to mpv if mpv was set:
@is_muted.setter
def is_muted(self, val: bool) -> None:
if self._mpv:
self._mpv.mute = val
self._mute_btn.setText("Unmute" if val else "Mute")
For the popout's pre-mpv VideoPlayer this updated the button text but
silently dropped the value. _ensure_mpv then created the mpv instance
later with default mute=False, so the popout always opened unmuted
even when the embedded preview was muted (or when a previous popout
session had muted and then closed).
Fix: introduce a Python-side _pending_mute field that survives the
lazy mpv creation. The setter writes to _pending_mute unconditionally
and forwards to mpv if it exists. The getter returns _mpv.mute when
mpv is set, otherwise _pending_mute. _ensure_mpv replays _pending_mute
into the freshly-created mpv instance after applying the volume from
the slider, mirroring the existing volume-from-slider replay pattern
that already worked because the slider widget exists from construction
and acts as the volume's persistent storage.
Also threaded _pending_mute through _toggle_mute so the click-driven
toggle path stays consistent with the setter path — without it, a
mute toggle inside the popout would update mpv but not _pending_mute,
and the next sync round-trip via the setter would clobber it.
Verified manually:
- popout video, click mute, close popout, reopen on same video →
mute persisted (button shows "Unmute", audio silent)
- toggle to unmute, close, reopen → unmuted persisted
- embedded preview video mute → close popout → state propagates
correctly via _on_fullscreen_closed's reverse sync
Two related preservation bugs around the popout's F11 fullscreen
toggle, both surfaced during the post-refactor verification sweep.
1. ImageViewer zoom/pan loss on resize
ImageViewer.resizeEvent unconditionally called _fit_to_view() on every
resize event. F11 enter resizes the widget to the full screen, F11
exit resizes it back to the windowed size — both fired _fit_to_view,
clobbering any explicit user zoom and offset. Same problem for manual
window drags and splitter moves.
Fix: in resizeEvent, compute the previous-size fit-to-view zoom from
event.oldSize() and compare to current _zoom. Only re-fit if the user
was at fit-to-view at the previous size (within a 0.001 epsilon —
tighter than any wheel/key zoom step). Otherwise leave _zoom and
_offset alone.
The first-resize case (no valid oldSize, e.g. initial layout) still
defaults to fit, matching the original behavior for fresh widgets.
2. Popout window position lost on F11 round-trip
FullscreenPreview._enter_fullscreen captured _windowed_geometry but
the F11-exit restore goes through `_viewport` (the persistent center +
long_side that drives _fit_to_content). The drift detection in
_derive_viewport_for_fit only updates _viewport when
_last_dispatched_rect is set AND a fit is being computed — neither
path catches the "user dragged the popout with Super+drag and then
immediately pressed F11" sequence:
- Hyprland Super+drag does NOT fire Qt's moveEvent (xdg-toplevel
doesn't expose absolute screen position to clients on Wayland),
so Qt-side drift detection is dead on Hyprland.
- The Hyprland-side drift detection in _derive_viewport_for_fit
only fires inside a fit, and no fit is triggered between a drag
and F11.
- Result: _viewport still holds whatever it had before the drag —
typically the saved-from-last-session geometry seeded by the
first-fit one-shot at popout open.
When F11 exits, the deferred _fit_to_content reads the stale viewport
and restores the popout to the *previously seeded* position instead of
where the user actually had it.
Fix: in _enter_fullscreen, after capturing _windowed_geometry, also
write the current windowed state into self._viewport directly. The
viewport then holds the actual pre-fullscreen position regardless of
how it got there (drag, drag+nav, drag+F11, etc.), and F11 exit's
restore reads it correctly.
Bundled into one commit because both fixes are "F11 round-trip should
preserve where the user was" — the image fix preserves content state
(zoom/pan), the popout fix preserves window state (position). Same
theme, related root cause class. Bisecting one without the other
would be misleading.
Verified manually:
- image: scroll-zoom + drag pan + F11 + F11 → zoom and pan preserved
- image: untouched zoom + F11 + F11 → still fits to view
- image: scroll-zoom + manual window resize → zoom preserved
- popout: Super+drag to a new position + F11 + F11 → lands at the
dragged position, not at the saved-from-last-session position
- popout: same sequence on a video post → same result (videos don't
have zoom/pan, but the window-position fix applies to all media)
The seek slider snapped visually backward after a click for the first
~tens to hundreds of ms — long enough to be obvious. Race trace:
user clicks slider at target T
→ _ClickSeekSlider.mousePressEvent fires
→ setValue(T) lands the visual at the click position
→ clicked_position emits → _seek dispatches mpv.seek(T) async
→ mpv processes the seek on its own thread
meanwhile the 100ms _poll timer keeps firing
→ reads mpv.time_pos (still the OLD position, mpv hasn't caught up)
→ calls self._seek_slider.setValue(pos_ms)
→ slider visually snaps backward to the pre-seek position
→ mpv finishes seeking, next poll tick writes the new position
→ slider jumps forward to settle near T
The isSliderDown() guard at the existing setValue site (around line
425) only suppresses writebacks during a *drag* — fast clicks never
trigger isSliderDown, so the guard didn't help here.
Fix: pin the slider to the user's target throughout a 500ms post-seek
window. Mirror the existing _eof_ignore_until pattern (stale-eof
suppression in play_file → _on_eof_reached) — it's the same shape:
"after this dispatch, ignore poll-driven writebacks for N ms because
mpv hasn't caught up yet."
- _seek now records _seek_target_ms and arms _seek_pending_until
- _poll forces _seek_slider.setValue(_seek_target_ms) on every tick
inside the window, instead of mpv's lagging time_pos
- After the window expires, normal mpv-driven writes resume
Pin window is 500ms (vs the eof window's 250ms) because network and
streaming seeks take noticeably longer than local-cache seeks. Inside
the window the slider is forced to the target every tick, so mpv lag
is invisible no matter how long it takes within the window.
First attempt used a smaller 250ms window with a "close enough"
early-release condition (release suppression once mpv reports a
position within 250ms of the target). That still showed minor
track-back because the "close enough" threshold permitted writing
back a position slightly less than the target, producing a small
visible jump. The pin-to-target approach is robust against any
mpv interim position.
The time_label keeps updating to mpv's actual position throughout —
only the slider value is pinned, so the user can still see the
seek progressing in the time text.
Verified manually: clicks at start / middle / end of a video slider
all hold position cleanly. Drag still works (the isSliderDown path
is untouched). Normal playback advances smoothly (the pin window
only affects the post-seek window, not steady-state playback).
Step 5 of the gui/app.py + gui/preview.py structural refactor. Moves
the click-to-seek QSlider variant and the mpv-backed transport-control
widget into their own module under media/. The new module imports
_MpvGLWidget from .mpv_gl (sibling) instead of relying on the bare
name in the old preview.py namespace.
Address-only adjustment: the lazy `from ..core.cache import _referer_for`
inside `play_file` becomes `from ...core.cache import _referer_for`
because the new module sits one package level deeper. Same target
module, different relative-import depth — no behavior change.
preview.py grows another re-export shim line so ImagePreview (still
in preview.py) and FullscreenPreview can keep constructing
VideoPlayer unchanged. Shim removed in commit 14.
Step 4 of the gui/app.py + gui/preview.py structural refactor. Pure
move: the OpenGL render-context host and its concrete QOpenGLWidget
companion are now in their own module under media/. The mid-file
`from PySide6.QtOpenGLWidgets import QOpenGLWidget as _QOpenGLWidget`
import that used to sit between the two classes moves with them to
the new module's import header. preview.py grows another re-export
shim line so VideoPlayer (still in preview.py) can keep constructing
_MpvGLWidget unchanged. Shim removed in commit 14.
Step 3 of the gui/app.py + gui/preview.py structural refactor. Pure
move: the zoom/pan image viewer class is now in its own module under
media/. preview.py grows another re-export shim line so ImagePreview
and FullscreenPreview (both still in preview.py) can keep constructing
ImageViewer instances unchanged. Shim removed in commit 14.
Step 1 of the gui/app.py + gui/preview.py structural refactor. Pure
move: the constant and predicate are now in their own module, and
preview.py grows a re-export shim at the bottom so existing imports
(app.py:1351 and the in-file class methods) keep working unchanged.
Shim is removed in commit 14 once importers update to the canonical
path. See docs/REFACTOR_PLAN.md for the full migration order.
