Commit d38bc531 is incorrect: the 50ms queue-ahead value and the flip
queue offset have different functions. The latter is about calling
flip_page in advance, so the change attempted to show video frames 50ms
in advance on all VOs.
The change was for vo_opengl_cb, but that can be handled differently.
This adds API to libmpv that lets host applications use the mpv opengl
renderer. This is a more flexible (and possibly more portable) option to
foreign window embedding (via --wid).
This assumes that methods like context sharing and multithreaded OpenGL
rendering are infeasible, and that a way is needed to integrate it with
an application that uses a single thread to render everything.
Add an example that does this with QtQuick/qml. The example is
relatively lazy, but still shows how relatively simple the integration
is. The FBO indirection could probably be avoided, but would require
more work (and would probably lead to worse QtQuick integration, because
it would have to ignore transformations like rotation).
Because this makes mpv directly use the host application's OpenGL
context, there is no platform specific code involved in mpv, except
for hw decoding interop.
main.qml is derived from some Qt example.
The following things are still missing:
- a way to do better video timing
- expose GL renderer options, allow changing them at runtime
- support for color equalizer controls
- support for screenshots
XRRGetOutputInfo contains a "name" element which corresponds to to the
display names given to the user by the "xrandr" command line
utility. Copy it into the xrandr_display struct for each display.
On VOCTRL_GET_DISPLAY_NAMES, send a copy of the names
of the displays spanned by the mpv window on.
Add a generic mechanism to the VO to relay "extra" events from VO to
player. Use it to notify the core of window resizes, which in turn will
be used to mark all affected properties ("window-scale" in this case) as
changed.
(I refrained from hacking this as internal command into input_ctx, or to
poll the state change, etc. - but in the end, maybe it would be best to
actually pass the client API context directly to the places where events
can happen.)
When the VO was moved it its own thread, responsibility for redrawing
was given to the VO thread itself. So if there was a condition that
indicated that redrawing was required, like expose events or certain
VOCTRLs, the VO thread was redrawing itself.
This worked fine, but there are some corner cases where this works
rather badly. E.g. if I fullscreen the player and hit panscan controls
with mpv's default autorepeat rate, playback stops. This happens because
the VO redraws itself after every panscan change command. Running each
(repeated) command takes so long due to redrawing and (involuntary)
waiting on vsync, that it never leaves the input processing loop while
the key is held down. I suspect that in my case, redrawing in fullscreen
mode just gets slow enough that it takes 2 vsyncs instead of 1 on
average, and the processing time gets larger than the autorepeat delay.
Fix this by taking redraw control from the VO, and instead let the
playloop issue a "real" redraw command to the VO if needed. This
basically reverts redraw handling to what it was before moving the VO to
a thread.

vo_vdpau uses its own framedrop code, mostly for historic reasons. It
has some tricky heuristics, of which I'm not sure how they work, or if
they have any effect at all, but in any case, I want to keep this code
for now. One day it might get fully ported to the vo.c framedrop code,
or just removed.
But improve its interaction with the user-visible framedrop controls.
Make --framedrop actually enable and disable the vo_vdpau framedrop
code, and increment the number of dropped frames correctly.
The code path for other VOs should be equivalent. The vo_vdpau behavior
should, except for the improvements mentioned above, be mostly
equivalent as well. One minor change is that frames "shown" during
preemption are always count as dropped.
Remove the statement from the manpage that vo_vdpau is the default; this
hasn't been the case for a while.
This could be used by VO implementations to report a recent vsync time
to the generic VO code, which in turn will use it and the display FPS
to estimate at which point in time the next vsync will happen.
This works only on X11, and only if the refresh rate changes due to the
window being moved to another screen (detected by us). It doesn't
include system screen reconfiguration yet.
This calls VOCTRL_GET_DISPLAY_FPS on every frame, which makes me uneasy.
It means extra thread communication with the win32 and Cocoa backends.
On the other hand, a frame doesn't happen _that_ often, and the
communication should still be pretty cheap and fast, so it's probably
ok.
Also needs some extra fuzz for vo_vdpau.c, because that does everything
differently.
This mostly uses the same idea as with vo_vdpau.c, but much simplified.
On X11, it tries to get the display framerate with XF86VM, and limits
the frequency of new video frames against it. Note that this is an old
extension, and is confirmed not to work correctly with multi-monitor
setups. But we're using it because it was already around (it is also
used by vo_vdpau).
This attempts to predict the next vsync event by using the time of the
last frame and the display FPS. Even if that goes completely wrong,
the results are still relatively good.
On other systems, or if the X11 code doesn't return a display FPS, a
framerate of 1000 is assumed. This is infinite for all practical
purposes, and means that only frames which are definitely too late are
dropped. This probably has worse results, but is still useful.
"--framedrop=yes" is basically replaced with "--framedrop=decoder". The
old framedropping mode is kept around, and should perhaps be improved.
Dropping on the decoder level is still useful if decoding itself is too
slow.
The previous commit broke these things, and fixing them is separate in
this commit in order to reduce the volume of changes.
Move the image queue from the VO to the playback core. The image queue
is a remnant of the old way how vdpau was implemented, and increasingly
became more and more an artifact. In the end, it did only one thing:
computing the duration of the current frame. This was done by taking the
PTS difference between the current and the future frame. We keep this,
but by moving it out of the VO, we don't have to special-case format
changes anymore. This simplifies the code a lot.
Since we need the queue to compute the duration only, a queue size
larger than 2 makes no sense, and we can hardcode that.
Also change how the last frame is handled. The last frame is a bit of a
problem, because video timing works by showing one frame after another,
which makes it a special case. Make the VO provide a function to notify
us when the frame is done, instead. The frame duration is used for that.
This is not perfect. For example, changing playback speed during the
last frame doesn't update the end time. Pausing will not stop the clock
that times the last frame. But I don't think this matters for such a
corner case.
The VO is run inside its own thread. It also does most of video timing.
The playloop hands the image data and a realtime timestamp to the VO,
and the VO does the rest.
In particular, this allows the playloop to do other things, instead of
blocking for video redraw. But if anything accesses the VO during video
timing, it will block.
This also fixes vo_sdl.c event handling; but that is only a side-effect,
since reimplementing the broken way would require more effort.
Also drop --softsleep. In theory, this option helps if the kernel's
sleeping mechanism is too inaccurate for video timing. In practice, I
haven't ever encountered a situation where it helps, and it just burns
CPU cycles. On the other hand it's probably actively harmful, because
it prevents the libavcodec decoder threads from doing real work.
Side note:
Originally, I intended that multiple frames can be queued to the VO. But
this is not done, due to problems with OSD and other certain features.
OSD in particular is simply designed in a way that it can be neither
timed nor copied, so you do have to render it into the video frame
before you can draw the next frame. (Subtitles have no such restriction.
sd_lavc was even updated to fix this.) It seems the right solution to
queuing multiple VO frames is rendering on VO-backed framebuffers, like
vo_vdpau.c does. This requires VO driver support, and is out of scope
of this commit.
As consequence, the VO has a queue size of 1. The existing video queue
is just needed to compute frame duration, and will be moved out in the
next commit.
With software decoding, images were uploaded to vdpau surfaces as they
were queued to the VO. This makes it slightly more complicated
(especially later on), and has no advantages - so stop doing it.
The only reason why this was done explicitly was due to attempts to keep
the code equivalent (instead of risking performance regressions). The
original code did this naturally for certain reasons, but now that we
can measure that it has no advantages and just requires extra code, we
can just drop it.
Follow up on commit 760548da. Mouse handling is a bit confusing, because
there are at least 3 coordinate systems associated with it, and it
should be cleaned up. But that is hard, so just apply a hack which gets
the currently-annoying issue (VO backends needing access to the VO) out
of the way.
VO backends which are or will run in their own thread have a problem
with vo_mouse_movement() calling vo_control(). Restrict this to VOs
which actually need this.
Until now, failure to allocate image data resulted in a crash (i.e.
abort() was called). This was intentional, because it's pretty silly to
degrade playback, and in almost all situations, the OOM will probably
kill you anyway. (And then there's the standard Linux overcommit
behavior, which also will kill you at some point.)
But I changed my opinion, so here we go. This change does not affect
_all_ memory allocations, just image data. Now in most failure cases,
the output will just be skipped. For video filters, this coincidentally
means that failure is treated as EOF (because the playback core assumes
EOF if nothing comes out of the video filter chain). In other
situations, output might be in some way degraded, like skipping frames,
not scaling OSD, and such.

Let the VOs draw the OSD on their own, instead of making OSD drawing a
separate VO driver call. Further, let it be the VOs responsibility to
request subtitles with the correct PTS. We also basically allow the VO
to request OSD/subtitles at any time.
OSX changes untested.
While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
Until recently, the VO was an unavoidable part of the seeking code path.
This was because vdpau deinterlacing could double the framerate, and hr-
seek and framestepping etc. all had to "see" the additional frames. But
we've removed the frame doubling from the vdpau VO and moved it into a
video filter (vf_vdpaupp), and there's no reason left why the VO should
participate in seeking.
Instead of queuing frames to the VO during seek and skipping them
afterwards, drop the frames early.
This actually might make seeking with vo_vdpau and software decoding
faster, although I haven't measured it.
Doesn't really seem to be much of use. Get rid of the remaining uses of
it.
Concerning vo_opengl_old, it seems uninitGl() works fine even if called
before initialization.
Change how the video decoding loop works. The structure should now be a
bit easier to follow. The interactions on format changes are (probably)
simpler. This also aligns the decoding loop with future planned changes,
such as moving various things to separate threads.
Remove the special casing of vo_vdpau vs. other VOs. Replace the
complicated interaction between vo.c and vo_vdpau.c with a simple queue
in vo.c. VOs other than vdpau are handled by setting the length of the
queue to 1 (this is essentially what waiting_mpi was).
Note that vo_vdpau.c seems to have buffered only 1 or 2 frames into the
future, while the remaining 3 or 4 frames were past frames. So the new
code buffers 2 frames (vo_vdpau.c requests this queue length by setting
vo->max_video_queue to 2). It should probably be investigated why
vo_vdpau.c kept so many past frames.
The field vo->redrawing is removed. I'm not really sure what that would
be needed for; it seems pointless.
Future directions include making the interface between playloop and VO
simpler, as well as making rendering a frame a single operation, as
opposed to the weird 3-step sequence of rendering, drawing OSD, and
flipping.
Add the event FD after preinit, remove it before destroy. There's no
need to do it on vo_config, and there's no need to remove the event
FD when vo_config fails.
For rotation, we assume that the source image will be rotated within the
VO, so the aspect/panscan code needs to calculate its param using
rotated coordinates. VOs which support rotation natively can use this.
I hate tabs.
This replaces all tabs in all source files with spaces. The only
exception is old-makefile. The replacement was made by running the
GNU coreutils "expand" command on every file. Since the replacement was
automatic, it's possible that some formatting was destroyed (but perhaps
only if it was assuming that the end of a tab does not correspond to
aligning the end to multiples of 8 spaces).
This commit adds support for automatic selection of color profiles based on
the display where mpv is initialized, and automatically changes the color
profile when display is changed or the profile itself is changed from
System Preferences.
@UliZappe was responsible with the testing and implementation of a lot of this
commit, including the original implementation of `cocoa_get_icc_profile_path`
(See #594).
Fixes#594
Reduce most dependencies on struct mp_csp_details, which was a bad first
attempt at dealing with colorspace stuff. Instead, consistently use
mp_image_params.
Code which retrieves colorspace matrices from csputils.c still uses this
type, though.
The main difference between the old and new callbacks is that the old
callbacks required passing the window size, which is and always was very
inconvenient and confusing, since the window size is already in
vo->dwidth and vo->dheight.
Rename vo_get_src_dst_rects() to mp_get_src_dst_rects() and make it
independent from the VO (it takes a comical amount of parameters now to
pass all required state). Add a convenience wrapper with the name
vo_get_src_dst_rects() to vo.c. Replace all aspdat and vo usages with
immediate parameters.
Functionally, nothing should change, except that the window size is
clamped to a minimum of size 1 much earlier, and some log messages
change the prefix (don't bother with vo.vo_log stuff).
For some reason, this made all VO backends both set the screen
resolution in opts->screenwidth/height, and call
aspect_save_screenres(). Remove the latter. Move the code to calculate
the PAR-corrected window size from aspect.c to vo.c, and make it so that
the monitor PAR is recalculated when it makes sense.
How embarrassing...
This code is inactive for all VOs other than vo_vdpau. For vo_vdpau,
this caused various issues, such as stuttering after about an hour of
running mpv; see github issue #403.
Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
Keep track of the default values directly, instead of creating a new
instance of the option struct just to get the defaults.
Also get rid of the special handling of m_obj_desc.init_options.
Instead, handle it purely by the option parser. Originally, I wanted to
handle --vo=opengl-hq and --vo=direct3d_shaders with this (by making
them aliases to the real VOs with a different preset), but since --vo
=opengl-hq=help prints the wrong values (as consequence of the
simplification), I'm not doing that, and instead use something
different.
This commit adds the --force-window option, which will cause mpv always
to create a window when started. This can be useful when pretending that
mpv is a GUI application (which it isn't, but users pretend anyway), and
playing audio files would run mpv in the background without giving a
window to control it.
This doesn't actually create the window immediately: it only does so
only after initializing playback and when it is clear that there won't
be any actual video. This could be a problem when starting slow or
completely stuck network streams (mpv would remain frozen in the
background), or if video initialization somehow is stuck forever in
an in-between state (like when the decoder doesn't output a video
frame, but doesn't return an error either). Well, we can pretend only
so much that mpv is a GUI application.
