A MediaFormatDecoder provides backward compatibility with a MediaDecoderReader but works with the new architecture as described in bug 1148292.

It will take in its constructor a MediaDataDemuxer and will manage a PlatformDecoderModule and its associated MediaDataDecoder.

Attached patch Part 4. Disable test (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Disable tests as we can't have them give consistent results. When using the MP4Reader (soon to be obsolete) those tests will fail. But using the new MediaFormatDecoder they pass (yeah\!). Will re-enable those tests once MP4Reader is retired.

Part 4. Disable test

Given the new code is not enabled yet, there is no need to change anything here yet, right?
Any changes can be made when the pref change is made.

Further, the results will only change on some platforms; the tests on other platforms are already passing (because the results of the only subtest are ignored).

Please keep the reference to bug 1154881, because changing the code won't make the test correct.

Correct.. However as part of my try run, I do enable those prefs. This causes oranges as we pass all those tests now.

Yes, actually none of those changes are required now. It should behave the same on all platforms.

We should use NSPR_LOG_LEVEL=6 (on the command line) here instead of having to uncomment and recompile here. JW just landed https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/21401957b641 to make this change elsewhere.

If these are "main thread" demuxers, should they be shutdown only on the main thread?

Longer term, I kind of feel like we should split the responsibility of calculating the buffered ranges out into a separate object, since it is called on different threads.

Shouldn't the mShutdown check come before we call EnsureDecodersSetup()? There doesn't seem to be much point in creating a decoder if we've already shutdown.

This function is too long, it's hard to read. Can you factor it up to call sub-functions for the logical parts?

Can't you use:

decoder.mWaitingPromise.Resolve(decoder.mType, __func__);

Can we call this a "Reader", i.e. MediaFormatReader, so that it's clear from its name that it inherits from MediaDecoderReader and not MediaDecoder?

If the DecoderCallback callbacks stuck tasks on the decode task queue to call the Reader, instead of calling directly on whatever taskqueue/thread the MediaDataDecoder calls it in, you wouldn't need DecoderData::mMonitor anymore.

They are main thread in the sense that they are only used by the main thread, but we could delete them anywhere so long as we've stopped using them.

At first I had done so in Shutdown(), but it turns out that MediaDecoderReader::NotifyDataArrived can be called after Shutdown() or just about the same time.
I couldn't even rely on mShutdown being set as I had crashes where MDR::NotifyDataArrived was called right in between the time MediaFormatDecoder::Shutdown() was called and the time MediaDecoderReader::Shutdown (which set mShutdown to true).

Not wanting to introduce another monitor for this situation, I did so in the destructor instead.

This is what I've done. You have a demuxer used to calculate the buffered range on the main thread, and one used during playback.

There's still the issue where the MDSM calls GetBuffered() which will force us to keep the lock unfortunately.

Shutdown() is one aspect I didn't dig into. However, now that multiple readers are becoming a thing of the past with MSE, it's not going to cause as much problem as we have now.

Actually, we have a MOZ_DIAGNOSTIC_ASSERT(mSeekPromise.IsEmpty()) just above, which will be equivalent to testing IsSeeking(), this is a redundant test. But just in case. I'll made it an assert as well

indeed. same issue in MP4Reader.

I have to admit I was greatly influenced by the AVFormatDecoder found in ffmpeg and mythtv :)

I personally dislike our existing naming very much.
I see it as having different "decoder", a format decoder, a data decoder etc...

rather than a format reader, and a data decoder. 

But if you want it.. sure

There is still the case of MDSM calling GetBuffered and having to keep a monitor while it reads the cached buffered range.
I didn't want to have a 3 demuxers for that particular case.

In practice we wouldn't need a lock even if the MDSM calls GetBuffered() on its own thread, because it only ever does so right after Request*Data completes and before requesting new data. So by the time the MDSM calls GetBuffered() there's never any tasks that could run that would update mTimeRanges.

But this would make for a very difficult read and the next maintainer would be puzzled for sure.

thanks for the review !

Attached patch Remove locking to some members (obsolete) — Splinter Review
As discussed earlier, this remove the need for a lock between the reader and decoder thread. As the MDSM keeps checking on the size of our audio and video queue we still need a lock there. Also, I didn't find a way to get rid of the use of mIsFlushing due to how Flush() works. So we still need the monitor there. I have devised some methods but all of them require more work than a monitor, for no apparent benefit. And a few improvements here and there (little code reorganisation, and simplifying the waiting for data).
Attachment #8606606 - Flags: review?(cpearce)
This is an adaptation of bug 1161984. I had already got rid of IsWaitingMediaResources(). I will merge the patches related to MediaFormatReader together before pushing to inbound. Reworking the bug to based on the MP4Reader was a mistake. Keep habing bitrot now.
Blocks: 1165585
Attached patch Remove locking to some members (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Another re-think. Remove the need for mIsFlushing and its associated lock. We now set a flag when we feed data to the decoder to indicate that we expect an output, and clear it after a flush. Anything received following a flush and prior a new request for data is as such unwanted and can safely be discarded. Re-organised the variable to make them in three categories: the ones related to Update(), the ones related to getting the state from the decoder, and the ones requiring the monitor.

These are used to feed into SizeOfVideoQueueInFrames(), which is accessed from the MDSM's task queue. That is only used for logging. So instead of making these synchronized by the monitor, you could just store the value reported by SizeOfVideoQueueInFrames() in an atomic int, and update whenever something changes, and then you don't need to lock when changing these.
