This introduces the option --drm-format (currently used only by
context_drm_egl, vo_drm implementation is pending) which allows you to
pick between a xrgb8888 or a xrgb2101010 visual for --gpu-context=drm.
Requires a recent mesa (18.0.0_rc4 or later) to work.
This also fixes a bug when using --gpu-context=drm on a 30bpp-enabled
mesa (allow_rgb10_configs set to true). Previously it would've set up
an XRGB8888 format at the DRM/GBM level, while a 30bpp EGLConfig would
be picked, resulting in a garbled image.
Do this because retrying reading on higher levels (like the demuxer)
usually causes tons of problems. A hack like this is simpler and could
allow to remove some of the higher level retry behavior.
This works by trying to detect whether the file is appended. If we reach
EOF, check if the file size changed compared to the initial value. If it
did, it means the file was appended at least once, and we set the
p->appending flag. If that flag is set, we simply retry reading more
data every time we encounter EOF. The only way to do this is polling,
and we poll for at most 10 times, after waiting for 200ms every time.
This solves a number of problems simultaneously:
1. When outputting HLG, this allows tuning the OOTF based on the display
characteristics.
2. When outputting PQ or other HDR curves, this allows soft-limiting the
output brightness using the tone mapping algorithm.
3. When outputting SDR, this allows HDR-in-SDR style output, by
controlling the output brightness directly.
Closes#5521
Usable for uniquely identifying mpv instances from
subprocesses, controlling mpv with AppleScript, ...
Adds a new mp_getpid() wrapper for cross-platform reasons.
This switches the default away from "bob" to the best algorithm reported
as supported by the driver. This is convenient for users, and there is
no reason to use something worse by default.
Untested.
Before this, we made deinterlacing dependent on the video codec metadata
(AVFrame.interlaced_frame for libavcodec). So even if --deinterlace=yes
was set, we skipped deinterlacing if the flag wasn't set. This is very
unreliable and there are many streams with flags incorrectly set.
The potential problem is that this might upset people who alwase enabled
deinterlace and hoped it worked. But it's likely these people were
screwed by this setting anyway. The new behavior is less tricky and
easier to understand, and this preferable. Maybe one day we could
introduce a --deinterlace=auto, which does the right thing, but of
course this would be hard to implement (esecially with hwdec).
Fixes#5219.
this is meant to replace the old and not properly working vo_gpu/opengl
cocoa backend in the future. the problems are various shortcomings of
Apple's opengl implementation and buggy behaviour in certain
circumstances that couldn't be properly worked around. there are also
certain regressions on newer macOS versions from 10.11 onwards.
- awful opengl performance with a none layer backed context
- huge amount of dropped frames with an early context flush
- flickering of system elements like the dock or volume indicator
- double buffering not properly working with a none layer backed context
- bad performance in fullscreen because of system optimisations
all the problems were caused by using a normal opengl context, that
seems somewhat abandoned by apple, and are fixed by using a layer backed
opengl context instead. problems that couldn't be fixed could be
properly worked around.
this has all features our old backend has sans the wid embedding,
the possibility to disable the automatic GPU switching and taking
screenshots of the window content. the first was deemed unnecessary by
me for now, since i just use the libmpv API that others can use anyway.
second is technically not possible atm because we have to pre-allocate
our opengl context at a time the config isn't read yet, so we can't get
the needed property. third one is a bit tricky because of deadlocking
and it needed to be in sync, hopefully i can work around that in the
future.
this also has at least one additional feature or eye-candy. a properly
working fullscreen animation with the native fs. also since this is a
direct port of the old backend of the parts that could be used, though
with adaptions and improvements, this looks a lot cleaner and easier to
understand.
some credit goes to @pigoz for the initial swift build support which
i could improve upon.
Fixes: #5478, #5393, #5152, #5151, #4615, #4476, #3978, #3746, #3739,
#2392, #2217
early flushing only caused problems on macOS, which includes:
- performance problems and huge amount of dropped frames
- problems with playing back video files with fps close to the display
refresh rate
- rendering at twice the rate of the video fps
- not properly detected display refresh rate
we always deactivate any early flush for macOS to fix these problems.
Disable by default.
This feature was added in 7eb342757, which allowed stream selection
in runtime. Problem with this atm is that FFmpeg will try to demux
every first packet of every track leading to noticeable delay opening
the URL.
This option can be changed to enabled by default or removed when
HLS/DASH demuxers are improved upstream.
Using the GL renderer for color conversion will make sure screenshots
will use the same conversion as normal video rendering. It can do this
for all types of screenshots.
The logic when to write 16 bit PNGs changes. To approximate the old
behavior, we decide by looking whether the source video format has more
than 8 bits per component. We apply this logic even for window
screenshots. Also, 16 bit PNGs now always include an unused alpha
channel. The reason is that FFmpeg has RGB48 and RGBA64 formats, but no
RGB064. RGB48 is 3 bytes and usually not supported by GPUs for
rendering, so we have to use RGBA64, which forces an alpha channel.
Will break for users who use --target-trc and similar options.
I considered creating a new gl_video context, but it could double GPU
memory use, so I didn't.
This uses FBOs instead of glGetTexImage(), because that increases the
chance it could work on GLES (e.g. ANGLE). Untested. No support for the
Vulkan and D3D11 backends yet.
Fixes#5498. Also fixes#5240, because the code for reading back is not
used with the new code path.
The current peak detection algorithm was very bugged (which contributed
to the excessive cross-frame flicker without long normalization) and
also didn't take into account the frame average brightness level.
The new algorithm both takes into account frame average brightness (in
addition to peak brightness), and also computes the values in a more
stable/correct way. (The old path was basically undefined behavior)
In addition to improving the algorithm, we also switch to hable tone
mapping by default, and try to enable peak computation automatically
whever possible (compute shaders + SSBOs supported). We also make the
desaturation milder, after extensive testing during libplacebo
development.
I also had to compensate a bit for the representational differences
between mpv and libplacebo (libplacebo treats 1.0 as the reference peak,
but mpv treats it as the nominal peak), but it shouldn't have caused any
problems.
This is still not quite the same as libplacebo, since libplacebo also
allows tagging the desired scene average brightness on the output, and
it also supports reading the scene average brightness from static
metadata (MaxFALL) where available. But those changes are a bit more
involved. It's possible we could also read this from metadata in the
future, but we have problems communicating with AVFrames as it is and I
don't want to touch the mpv colorimetry structs for the time being.
Similar to the previous commit, and for the same reasons. Unlike with
af_scaletempo, resampling does not have a natural frame size, so we set
an arbitrary size limit on output frames. We add a new option to control
this size, although I'm not sure whether anyone will use it, so mark it
for testing only.
Note that we go through some effort to avoid buffering data in
libswresample itself. One reason is that we might have to reinitialize
the resampler completely when changing speed, which drops the buffered
data. Another is that I'm not sure whether the resampler will do the
right thing when applying dynamic speed changes.
MPlayer used this to distinguish multiple decoder wrappers (such as
libavcodec vs. binary codec loader vs. builtin decoders). It lost
meaning in mpv as non-libavcodec things were dropped. Now it doesn't
serve any purpose anymore.
Parsing was removed quite a while ago, and the recent filter change
removed any use of the internal family field. Get rid of it.
FFmpeg only suppports http proxies and ignores it if
the resulting url is https. Also, no SOCKS.
Use it like `--ytdl-raw-options=proxy=[http://127.0.0.1:3128]` so
it doesn't confuse mpv because of the colons.
You need to pass it as an option because youtube-dl doesn't give
us the proxy.
Or just set `http_proxy` environment variable as recommended before.
Added example using -append, which doesn't need escaping.
Get rid of the old vf.c code. Replace it with a generic filtering
framework, which can potentially handle more than just --vf. At least
reimplementing --af with this code is planned.
This changes some --vf semantics (including runtime behavior and the
"vf" command). The most important ones are listed in interface-changes.
vf_convert.c is renamed to f_swscale.c. It is now an internal filter
that can not be inserted by the user manually.
f_lavfi.c is a refactor of player/lavfi.c. The latter will be removed
once --lavfi-complex is reimplemented on top of f_lavfi.c. (which is
conceptually easy, but a big mess due to the data flow changes).
The existing filters are all changed heavily. The data flow of the new
filter framework is different. Especially EOF handling changes - EOF is
now a "frame" rather than a state, and must be passed through exactly
once.
Another major thing is that all filters must support dynamic format
changes. The filter reconfig() function goes away. (This sounds complex,
but since all filters need to handle EOF draining anyway, they can use
the same code, and it removes the mess with reconfig() having to predict
the output format, which completely breaks with libavfilter anyway.)
In addition, there is no automatic format negotiation or conversion.
libavfilter's primitive and insufficient API simply doesn't allow us to
do this in a reasonable way. Instead, filters can use f_autoconvert as
sub-filter, and tell it which formats they support. This filter will in
turn add actual conversion filters, such as f_swscale, to perform
necessary format changes.
vf_vapoursynth.c uses the same basic principle of operation as before,
but with worryingly different details in data flow. Still appears to
work.
The hardware deint filters (vf_vavpp.c, vf_d3d11vpp.c, vf_vdpaupp.c) are
heavily changed. Fortunately, they all used refqueue.c, which is for
sharing the data flow logic (especially for managing future/past
surfaces and such). It turns out it can be used to factor out most of
the data flow. Some of these filters accepted software input. Instead of
having ad-hoc upload code in each filter, surface upload is now
delegated to f_autoconvert, which can use f_hwupload to perform this.
Exporting VO capabilities is still a big mess (mp_stream_info stuff).
The D3D11 code drops the redundant image formats, and all code uses the
hw_subfmt (sw_format in FFmpeg) instead. Although that too seems to be a
big mess for now.
f_async_queue is unused.
Restores behaviour prior to aef2ed5dc1.
That change was apparently unpopular. However, given the amount of
complaining over how hard it is to change the defaults by rebinding every
key, I think the extra option introduced by this commit is justified.
Technically not all behaviour is restored, because now --no-osd-bar will
not instead display the msg text on seek. I think that feature was a
little weird and is now easy enough to remedy with the --osd-on-seek
option.
This reverts commit 9812e276aa.
This was apparently unpopular. I still think the pause OSD should be the
same as seek even if it's not visible by default, but it seems that
whether to display a given property change is currently conflated with
what to display.
The reverted behaviour can be restored by adding something like the
following to input.conf:
SPACE cycle pause; show_progress
Requested. See manpage additions.
The main reason why this goes through the trouble to keep the
action/operation parameter separate is so that we don't expose some
option parser implementation details to the command (although that is a
relatively weak reason), and also to make it more different from the
"set" command, which can't support this type of option as it goes
through the property layer.
Fixes#5435.
And use it for 2 demuxer options. It could be used for more options
later. (Though the --cache options can not use this, because they use KB
as base unit.)
This commit introduces the multiply-pitch af-command. Users may bind
keys to this command in order to incrementally adjust the pitch of a
track. This will probably mostly be useful for musicians trying to
transpose up and down by semi tones without having to calculate
the correct ratio beforehand.
As an example, here is an input.conf to test this feature:
{ af-command all multiply-pitch 0.9438743126816935
} af-command all multiply-pitch 1.059463094352953
The future direction might be not having such a user-visible filter at
all, similar to how vf_scale went away (or actually, redirects to
libavfilter's vf_scale).
This is part of trying to get rid of --af-defaults, and the af
resample filter.
It requires a complicated mechanism to set the defaults on the resample
filter for backwards compatibility.
With the recent changes to the script it does not incur a startup delay
by default due to starting youtube-dl and waiting for it. This was the
main reason for making libmpv have a different default.
Starting sub processes from a library can still be a bit fishy, but I
think it's ok. Still mention it in the libmpv header. There were already
other cases where libmpv would start its own processes, such as the X11
backend calling xdg-screensaver. (The reason why this is fishy is
because UNIX process management sucks: SIGCHLD and the wait() syscall
make sub processes non-transparent and could potentially introduce
conflicts with code trying to use them.)
Previously, toggling pause would generate no osd response, and changing
that wasn't even configurable. This was surprising to users who
generally expect to see *where* pause / unpause is taking place (#3028).
The previous default was osd-bar (unless the user specified
--no-osd-bar, in which case case it was osd-msg). Aside from requiring
some twisted logic to implement, this surprised users since osd-msg3
wasn't displayed when seeking with the keyboard (#3028), so the time
seeked to was never displayed.
Before this commit, some autoselection of tracks coming from files
loaded with --external-files was still done. This commit removes all of
it, and the only way to select a track is via the explicit stream
selection options like --vid/--sid/--aid.
I think this was always the original intention. The change could in
theory still unintentionally surprise some users, so add a changelog
entry.
This does not affect --audio-file/--sub-file, even if these contain
mismatching track types. E.g. if audio files passed to --audio-file
contain subtitles, these should still be selected. Past feature requests
indicate that users want this.
This enables DXVA2 hardware decoding with ra_d3d11. It should be useful
for Windows 7, where D3D11VA is not available. Images are transfered
from D3D9 to D3D11 using D3D9Ex surface sharing[1].
Following Microsoft's recommendations, it uses a queue of shared
surfaces, similar to Microsoft's ISurfaceQueue. This will hopefully
prevent surface sharing from impacting parallelism and allow multiple
D3D11 frames to be in-flight at once.

Reasons why you'd want this see manpage additions. Disabled by default,
because it would increase latency of live streams by default. (Or well,
at least it would be another problem when trying getting lower latency.)
This tried to be clever by waiting for a longer time each time the
buffer was underrunning, or shorter if it was getting better. I think
this was pretty weird behavior and makes no sense. If the user really
wants the stream to buffer longer, he/she/it can just pause the player
(the network caches will continue to be filled until they're full).
Every time I actually noticed this code triggering in my own use, I
didn't find it helpful. Apart from that it was pretty hard to test.
Some waiting is needed to avoid that the player just plays the available
data as fast as possible (to compensate for late frames and underrunning
audio). Just use a fixed wait time, which can now be controlled by the
new --cache-pause-wait option.
Was only available with --demuxer-lavf-format=help and the demuxer
needed to be used for it to actually print the list.
This can be used in the future to check if 'dash' support was compiled
with FFmpeg so ytdl_hook can use it instead. For now, dashdec is too
rudimentary to be used right away.
