Performance seems pretty much unchanged but I no longer get nasty spikes
on NUMA systems, probably because glBufferSubData runs in the driver or
something.
As a simplification of the code, we also just size the PBO to always
have the full size, even for cropped textures. This seems slower but not
by relevant amounts, and only affects e.g. --vf=crop. It also slightly
increases VRAM usage for textures with big strides.
This new code path is especially nice because it no longer depends on
GL_ARB_map_buffer_range, and no longer uses any functions that can
possibly fail, thus simplifying control flow and seemingly deprecating
the manpage's claim about possible image corruption.
In theory we could also reduce NUM_PBO_BUFFERS since it doesn't seem
like we're streaming uploads anyway, but leave it in there just in
case some drivers disagree...
This is more of a niche usecase than --ytdl-format and --ytdl-raw-options,
so a simple script option should be enough.
Either create lua-settings/ytdl_hook.conf with
'exclude=example.com,sub.example.com' option or
"--script-opts=ytdl_hook-exclude=example.com,sub.example.com"
This just indicates a fixed linear coefficient to multiply into the
signal, similar to the old option --target-brightness (but the inverse
thereof). Good for testing purposes, which is why I added it. (This also
corresponds somewhat to what zimg does)
It's now possible to request non-dumb mode as a user, even when not
using any non-dumb features. This change is mostly intended for testing,
so I can easily switch between dumb and non-dumb mode on default
settings. The default behavior is unaffected.
Was at least somewhat broken, and is misleading. I don't really have an
idea why FFmpeg has two AVOptions here anyway. We don't need to care,
and I'm only aware of 1 user trying this option ever.
See #4579.
This is exposed so that bjin/mpv-prescalers can use textureGatherOffset
for performance.
Since there are now quite a lot of parameters where it isn't quite clear
why they're all defined, add a paragraph to the man page that explains
them a bit.
This helps prevent unnaturally, weirdly colorized blown out highlights
for direct images of the sunlit sky and other way-too-bright HDR
content. I was debating whether to set the default at 1.0 or 2.0, but
went with the more conservative option that preserves more detail/color.
This is more efficient on my machine (nvidia), but only when applied to
groups of exactly 4 texels. So we switch to the more efficient
textureGather for groups of 4. Some notes:
- textureGatherOffset seems to be faster than textureGather by a
non-negligible amount, but for some reason, textureOffset is still
slower than a straight-up texture
- textureGather* requires GLSL 400; and at least on nvidia, this
requires actually allocating a GL 4.0 context.
- the code in opengl/common.c that clamped the GLSL version to 330 is
deprecated, because the old user shader style has been removed
completely in the meantime
- To combat the growing complexity of the polar sampling code, we drop
the antiringing functionality from EWA shaders completely, since it
never really worked well for EWA to begin with. (Horrific artifacting)
This allows filter functions to be prematurely cut off once their
contributions start becoming insignificant. This effectively prevents
wasted GPU time sampling from parts of the function that are essentially
reduced to zero by the window function, providing anywhere from a 10% to
20% speedup. (5700μs -> 4700μs for me)
This replaces `vo-performance` by `vo-passes`, bringing with it a number
of changes and improvements:
1. mpv users can now introspect the vo_opengl passes, which is something
that has been requested multiple times.
2. performance data is now measured per-pass, which helps both
development and debugging.
3. since adding more passes is cheap, we can now report information for
more passes (e.g. the blit pass, and the osd pass). Note: we also
switch to nanosecond scale, to be able to measure these passes
better.
4. `--user-shaders` authors can now describe their own passes, helping
users both identify which user shaders are active at any given time
as well as helping shader authors identify performance issues.
5. the timing data per pass is now exported as a full list of samples,
so projects like Argon-/mpv-stats can immediately read out all of the
samples and render a graph without having to manually poll this
option constantly.
Due to gl_timer's design being complicated (directly reading performance
data would block, so we delay the actual read-back until the next _start
command), it's vital not to conflate different passes that might be
doing different things from one frame to another. To accomplish this,
the actual timers are stored as part of the gl_shader_cache's sc_entry,
which makes them unique for that exact shader.
Starting and stopping the time measurement is easy to unify with the
gl_sc architecture, because the existing API already relies on a
"generate, render, reset" flow, so we can just put timer_start and
timer_stop in sc_generate and sc_reset, respectively.
The ugliest thing about this code is that due to the need to keep pass
information relatively stable in between frames, we need to distinguish
between "new" and "redrawn" frames, which bloats the code somewhat and
also feels hacky and vo_opengl-specific. (But then again, this entire
thing is vo_opengl-specific)
The changes to path list options is basically getting rid of the need to
pass multiple paths to a single option. Instead, you can use the option
multiple times. The old behavior can be used by using the -set suffix
with the option.
Change some options to path lists. For example --script is now append by
default, and if you use --script-set, you need to use ":"/";" as
separator instead of ",".
--sub-paths/--audio-file-paths is a deprecated alias now, and will break
if the user tries to pass multiple paths to it. I'm assuming that if
these are used, most users will pass only 1 path anyway.
--opengl-shaders has more compatibility handling, since it's probably
rather common that users pass multiple options to it.
Also document all that in the manpage.
I'll probably regret this later, as it somewhat increases the complexity
of the option parser, rather than increasing it.
I noticed that the previous default, bitstream, actually breaks with
some shitty anamorphic DVD rips that signal square pixel aspect in the
bitstream. So I think the "container" method is a better default.
st2084 and std-b67 are really weird names for PQ and HLG, which is what
everybody else (including e.g. the ITU-R) calls them. Follow their
example.
I decided against naming them bt2020-pq and bt2020-hlg because it's not
necessary in this case. The standard name is only used for the other
colorspaces etc. because those literally have no other names.
List of changes:
1. Kill nom_peak, since it's a pointless non-field that stores nothing
of value and is _always_ derived from ref_white anyway.
2. Kill ref_white/--target-brightness, because the only case it really
existed for (PQ) actually doesn't need to be this general: According
to ITU-R BT.2100, PQ *always* assumes a reference monitor with a
white point of 100 cd/m².
3. Improve documentation and comments surrounding this stuff.
4. Clean up some of the code in general. Move stuff where it belongs.
"Almost" because this might contain copyright by michael, who agreed
with LGPL, but only once the core is LGPL. This is preparation for that
to happen.
Apart from that, the usual remarks apply. In particular, dec_video.c
started out quite chaotic with no modularization, but was later
basically gutted, and in general rewritten a bunch of times. Not going
to give a history lesson.
Special attention needs to be given to 3 patches by cehosos, who did not
agree to the relicensing:
240b743ebd: --field-dominance
e32cbbf7dc: reinit VO if aspect ratio changes
306f6243fd: use container aspect if codec aspect unset (?)
The first patch is pretty clearly still in the current code, and needs
to be disabled for LGPL.
The functionality of the second patch is still active, but implemented
completely different, and as part of general frame parameter changes (at
the time of the patch, MPlayer already reinitialized the VO on frame
size and pixel format changes - all this was merged into a single check
for changing image parameters).
The third patch makes me a bit more uncomfortable. It appears the code
was moved to dec_video.c in de68b8f23c, and further changed in
82f0d373, 0a0bb905, and bf13bd0d. You could claim that cehoyos'
copyright still sticks. Fortunately, we implement alternative aspect
detection, which is simpler and probably preferable, and which arguably
contains none of the original code and logic, and thus should be fully
safe.
While I don't know if cehoyos' copyright actually still applies, I'm
more comfortable with making the code GPL-only for now. Also change the
default to use the (in future) plain LGPL code, and deprecate the one
associated with the GPL code, so we can eventually remove the GPL code.
But it's also possible we decide that the copyright doesn't apply, and
undo the deprecation and GPL guards.
I expect that users won't notice anything. If you ask me, the old aspect
method was probably an accidental bug instead of intentional behavior.
Although, the new aspect method was broken too, so I had to fix it.
I call it `mobius` because apparently the form f(x) = (cx+a)/(dx+b) is
called a Möbius transform, which is the algorithm this is based on. In
the extremes it becomes `reinhard` (param=0.0 and `clip` (param=1.0),
smoothly transitioning between the two depending on the parameter.
This is a useful tone mapping algorithm since the tunable mobius
transform allows the user to decide the trade-off between color accuracy
and detail preservation on a continuous scale. The default of 0.3 is
already far more accurate than `reinhard` while also being reasonably
good at preserving highlights, without suffering from the overall
brightness drop and color distortion of `hable`.
For these reasons, make this the new default. Also expand and improve
the documentation for these tone mapping functions.
List of changes:
1. Rename `signfs` to `scale`, to better match what it actually does
(force --sub-scale to apply to ASS subtitles), and fix the blatantly
wrong documentation (it actually specifically does *not* apply to
signs)
2. Rename `--sub-ass-style-override` to `--sub-ass-override` to help
reduce confusion between it and `--sub-ass-force-style`, as well as
pointing out that it doesn't necessarily actually override styles.
(The new `scale` option, for example, only sets
ASS_OVERRIDE_BIT_FONT_SIZE, but not ASS_OVERRIDE_BIT_STYLE)
3. Mention that `--sub-ass-override` is generally sort of smart about
only overriding dialog, not signs.
In a multi GPU scenario, it may be desirable to use different GPUs
for decode and display responsibilities. For example, if a secondary
GPU has better video decoding capabilities.
In such a scenario, we need to initialise a separate context for each
GPU, and use the display context in hwdec_cuda, while passing the
decode context to avcodec.
Once that's done, the actually hand-off between the two GPUs is
transparent to us (It happens during the cuMemcpy2D operation which
copies the decoded frame from a cuda buffer to the OpenGL texture).
In the end, the bulk of the work is around introducing a new
configuration option to specify the decode device.
af_volume is deprecated, and so are its replaygain sub-options. To make
it possible to use replaygain without deprecated options (and of course
to make it available at all after af_volume is dropped), reintroduce
them as top-level options.
This also means that they are easily changeable at runtime by using them
as properties. Change the "volume" property to use the new update
mechanism as well.
We don't actually bother sharing the implementation between new and
deprecated mechanisms, as the deprecated one will simply be deleted.
For the from_dB() functions, we mention anders' copyright, although I'm
not sure if a mere formula is copyrightable. This will have to be
determined later.
This whole change is mostly untested. Our distributed human CI will take
care of it.
It's all explained in the DOCS changes. Although this option was always
kind of obscure and pointless. Until it is removed, the only reason for
setting it would be to raise the static default limit, so change its
default to INT_MAX so that it does nothing by default.
Instead of pausing if --keep-open is active, stop
at end but continue playing if seeking backwards.
And then stop again when end is reached.

Over the PR, the option was renamed, and the manpage additions were
slightly changed/enhanced.
Also "announce" the plans to undeprecate it with changed semantics
later. The deprecation period is needed to warn script authors and
client API users (etc.) of the change.
This is done because everyone seems to expect --loop to loop the current
file, not the playlist. Even in cases when only 1 file is on the
playlist, the --loop-file semantics seem to be preferred.
Mostly because of ANGLE (sadly).
The implementation became unpleasantly big, but at least it's relatively
self-contained.
I'm not sure to what degree shaders from different drivers are
compatible as in whether a driver would randomly misbehave if it's fed
a binary created by another driver. The useless binayFormat parameter
won't help it, as they can probably easily clash. As usual, OpenGL is
pretty shit here.
for a reason i can just assume some key events can vanish from the
event chain and mpv seems unresponsive.
after quite some testing i could confirm that the events are present at
the first entry point of the event chain, the sendEvent method of the
Application, and that they vanish at a point afterwards. now we use
that entry point to grab keyDown and keyUp events. we also stop
propagating those key events to prevent the no key input' error sound.
if we ever need the key events somewhere down the event chain we need
to start propagating them again. though this is not necessary currently.
DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP_SEQUENTIAL might be buggy on some hardware.
Additionaly DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP_SEQUENTIAL might be supported on some
Windows 7 systems with the platform update, but it might have poor
performance. In these cases, the user might want to disable the use of
DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP_SEQUENTIAL swap chains with --angle-flip=no.
Add subtitle filter to remove additions for deaf or hard-of-hearing
(SDH). This is for English, but may in part work for others too.
This is an ASS filter and the intention is that it can always be
enabled as it by default do not remove parts that may be normal text.
Harder filtering can be enabled with an additional option.
Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>
Useful for testing. Unfortunately, the nVidia EGL driver ignores this,
and returns a GLES 3.2 context anyway (which it is allowed to do). Might
still be useable with ANGLE, which will really give you a GLES 2 context
if you ask for it.
As the manpage says, this has no value other than adding bugs.
It uses code based on context_x11.c, and basically does very stripped
down context creation (no alpha support etc.). It uses vdpau for
display, and maps vdpau output surfaces as FBOs to render into them.
This might be good to experiment with asynchronous presentation. For
now, it presents synchronously, with a 4 frame delay (which should whack
off A/V sync). The forced 4 frame delay is probably also why interaction
feels slower.
There are some weird vdpau errors on resizing and uninit. No idea what
causes them.
This is just a pointless refactor with the only goal of making
image_writer_opts.format a number.
The pointless part of it is that instead of using some sort of arbitrary
ID (in place of a file extension string), we use a AV_CODEC_ID_. There
was also some idea of falling back to the libavcodec MJPEG encoder if
mpv was not linked against libjpeg, but this fails. libavcodec insist on
having AV_PIX_FMT_YUVJ420P, which we pretend does not exist, and which
we always map to AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P (without the J indicating full
range), so encoder init fails. This is pretty dumb, but whatever. The
not-caring factor is raised by the fact that we don't know that we
should convert to full range, because encoders have no proper way to
signal this. (Be reminded that AV_PIX_FMT_YUVJ420P is deprecated.)
Includes hls, mp4, mkv by default. This also avoids stupid things like
decoding at least 1 video frame per stream in the demuxer.
This also add --demuxer-lavf-probe-info to give finer control over what
happens.
Implements --hwdec=videotoolbox on iOS. Similar to hwdec_osx.c, but
using CVPixelBuffer APIs available on iOS instead of the equivalent
IOSurface APIs in macOS.
We can drop the custom table.
For some reason, the interop does not accept GL_RGB_RAW_422_APPLE as
internal format for GL_RGB_422_APPLE, so switch the format table to use
GL_RGB (this way both interop and real textures work the same).
Another victim of the apparent requirement of exactly matching texture
formats is kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA. vo_opengl wants to handle this as
normal RGBA texture, with a swizzle applied in the shader.
CGLTexImageIOSurface2D() rejects this, because it wants the exact
internal format. Just drop the format, because it's useless anyway.
(Maybe this is a bit too fragile...)
since there are different views on what ontop is, we make the ontop
window level modifiable. at the moment only support for macOS was added.
the default for macOS was changed from 'system' to 'window' since this
fixes an unwanted behaviour in fullscreen and in general causes less
issues with expected behaviour.
Fixes#2376#3974
This replaces the old backend that exclusively used EGL windowing with
one that can also use ANGLE's ability to render to directly to a
texture. The advantage of this is that it allows mpv to create the swap
chain itself and this allows mpv to use a flip-mode swap chain on a HWND
(which avoids problems with DirectComposition) and to use a longer swap
chain that has six backbuffers by default (which reportedly fixes
problems with rendering 24fps video on 24Hz monitors.)
Also, "screenshot window" should now work on DXGI 1.2 and up (Windows 8
and up.)
As the manual entry for --hwdec states that d3d11va and d3d11va-copy require Windows, it can be assumed that it also works for Windows 7. Since it doesn't, according to https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/3285#issuecomment-228593539, and personal testing, updating the manual accordingly and making the hwdec OS requirements for ANGLE in line with videotoolbox, where OS version is stated.
To make it easier for the eyes, multi line subtitles should
be left justified (for most languages).
This adds an option to define how subtitles are to be justified
inpendently of how they are aligned.
Also add option to enable --sub-justify to be applied on ASS subtitles.
This was excessively useless, and I want my time back that was needed to
explain users why they don't want to use it.
It captured the byte stream only, and even for types of streams it was
designed for (like transport streams), it was rather questionable.
As part of the removal, un-inline demux_run_on_thread() (which has only
1 call-site now), and sort of reimplement --stream-dump to write the
data directly instead of using the removed capture code.
(--stream-dump is also very useless, and I struggled coming up with an
explanation for it in the manpage.)
Scale the window by the assumed DPI scaling factor, using 96 DPI as
base. For example, a screen that reports 192 DPI is assumed to have a
DPI scale factor 2. The window will then be created with twice the size.
For robustness reasons, we accept only integer DPI scales between 1 and
9. We also error out if the X and Y scales are very different, as this
most likely indicates a multiscreen system with botched size reporting.
I'm not sure if reading the X server's DPI is such a good idea - maybe
the Xrdb "Xft.dpi" value should be used instead. The current method
follows what xdpyinfo does.
This can be disabled with --hidpi-window-scale=no.
Since for mpv CLI, the player state is a singleton, full prefetching is
a bit tricky. We do it only on the demuxer layer.
The implementation reuses the old "open thread". This means there is
significant potential for regressions even if the new option is not
used. This is made worse by the fact that I barely tested this code.
The generic mpctx_run_reentrant() wrapper is also removed - this was its
only user, and its remains become part of the new implementation.
Introduce the --opengl-hwdec-interop option, which replaces
--hwdec-preload. The new option allows explicit selection of the interop
backend.
This is relatively complex, and I would have preferred not to add this,
but it's probably useful to debug certain problems. In exchange, the
"new" option documents that pretty much any but the simplest use of it
will not be forward compatible.
Remove ad_spdif from the normal codec list, and select it explicitly.
One goal was to decouple this from the normal codec selection, so
they're less entangled and the decoder selection code can be simplified
in the far future. This means spdif codec selection is now done
explicitly via select_spdif_codec(). We can also remove the weird
requirements on "dts" and "dts-hd" for the --audio-spdif option, and it
can just do the right thing.
Now both video and audio codecs consist of a single codec family each,
vd_lavc and ad_lavc.
this replaces the old fullscreen with the native
macOS fullscreen. additional the
--fs-black-out-screens was removed since the new
API doesn't support it in a way the old one did.
it can possibly be re-added if done manually.
Fixes#2857#3272#1352#2062#3864
As documented in interface-changes.rst. This makes it much easier to
follow what the heck is going on.
Whether this is adequate for real-world use is unknown.
The latest 375.xx nvidia drivers add support for P016 output
surfaces. In combination with an ffmpeg change to return those
surfaces, we can display them.
The bulk of the work is related to knowing which format you're
dealing with at the right time. Once you know, it's straight forward.
Deactivating this options makes it possible to
circumvent the default OS X behavior of using
points. Windows on HiDPI resolutions won't open
in double the size anymore and videos are display
in their native resolution when windowed.
Fixes#3716
Enumerate all of the scaling-related options, even for the ``--cscale``
/ ``--tscale`` etc. variants. Unfortunately this breaks 80col quite
severely, but there's nothing I can do about it due to a bug in rst2man
preventing definition list labels from spanning multiple lines.
Also reorder some of the scaling-related options to be closer together
and in a more consistent order (for a top-to-bottom reading flow).
This allows us to define the tukey window (and other tapered windows).
Also add a missing option definition for `wblur` while we're at it, to
make testing out window-related stuff easier.
It turns out the glFlush() call really helps in some cases, though only
in audio timing mode (where we render, then wait for a while, then
display the frame). Add a --opengl-early-flush=auto mode, which does
exactly that.
It's unclear whether this is fine on OSX (strange things going on
there), but it should be.
See #3670.
At this point, all other hwaccels provide -copy modes, and vdpau is the
exception with not having one. Although there is vf_vdpaurb, it's less
convenient in certain situations, and exposes some issues with the
filter chain code as well.
The glFlush() call was made optional recently
since it's not needed in most cases. On OSX though
this is needed since we removed kCGLPFADoubleBuffer
from the context creation, so the glFlush() call
was added to the cocoa backend only.
The CGLFlushDrawable() call can be safely removed
since it only does something when a double
buffered context is used. Also fixes a small typo.
Fixes#3627.
It seems this can cause issues with certain platforms, so better to
disable it by default. The original reason for this isn't overly
justified, and display-sync mode should get rid of the need for it
anyway.
The new option is meant for testing, and will probably be removed if
nobody comes up and reports that enabling the option actually improves
anything.
Rename the text subtitle options from --sub-text- to --sub-
and --ass- options to --sub-ass-.
The intention is to common sub options to prefixed --sub-
and special ASS option be seen as a special version of sub options.
The OSD options that work like the --sub- options are still named
--osd-.
Man page updated including a short note about renamed --sub-text-*
and --ass-* options to --sub-* and --sub-ass-*.
Seems like this confused users quite often.
Instead of --profile=pseudo-gui, --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui now
has to be used to invoke pseudo GUI mode. The old way still works, and
still behaves in the old way.
Conflicts with the "playlist-pos" property. They're really a bit too
different, and since the --playlist-pos option is relatively new and
obscure, just rename it to get this out of the way.
This also lets you just do "mpv --hwdec file.mkv", with the minor caveat
that the legacy syntax "--hwdec val" or "-hwdec val" (without "=") does
not work as expected anymore.
Minimal support just for testing.
Only the window surface creation (including size determination) is
really platform specific, so this could be some generic thing with
platform-specific support as some sort of sub-driver, but on the other
hand I don't see much of a need for such a thing.
While most of the fbdev usage is done by the EGL driver, using this
fbdev ioctl is apparently the only way to get the display resolution.
The cuvid decoder already knows how to copy back to system memory
if NV12 frames are requested, and this will happen if the decoder
is used without the hwdec.
For convenience, let's add a wrapper hwdec so people don't have
to explicitly pick the cuvid decoder if they want this behaviour.
And introduce a global option which does this. Or more precisely, this
deprecates the global wasapi and coreaudio options, and adds a new one
that merges their functionality. (Due to the way the sub-option
deprecation mechanism works, this is simpler.)
Whitelisting supported codecs is (probably) still better than just
allowing everything, given the weird FFmpeg API. I'm also assuming
Libav doesn't even have the codec ID, but I didn't check.
Also add a --teletext-page option, since otherwise it decodes every
teletext page and shows them in succession.
And yes, we can't use av_opt_set_int() - instead we have to set it as
string. Because FFmpeg's option system is terrible.
vo_opengl sub-option were always rather annoying to handle. It seems
better to make them global options instead. This is simpler and easier
to use. The only disadvantage we are aware of is that it's not clear
that many/all of these new global options work with vo_opengl only.
--vo=opengl-hq is also deprecated.
There is extensive compatibility with the old behavior. One exception is
that --vo-defaults will not apply to opengl-hq (though with opengl it
still works). vo-cmdline is also dysfunctional and will be removed in a
following commit.
These changes also affect opengl-cb.
The update mechanism is still rather inefficient: it requires syncing
with the VO after each option change, rather than batching updates.
There's also no granularity (video.c just updates "everything", and if
auto-ICC profiles are enabled, vo_opengl.c will fetch them on each
update).
Most of the manpage changes were done by Niklas Haas <git@haasn.xyz>.
Now options are accessible through the property list as well, which
unifies them to a degree.
Not all options support runtime changes (meaning affected components
need to be restarted for the options to take effects). Remove from the
manpage those properties which are cleanly mapped to options anyway.
From the user-perspective they're just options available through the
property interface.
Instead, add a hacky OPT_ASPECT option type, which only exists to accept
a "no" parameter, which in combination with the "--no-..." handling code
makes --no-video-aspect work again.
We can also remove the code in m_config.c, which only existed to make
"--no-aspect" (a deprecated alias) to work.
The client API can do this (and there are apparently some libmpv using
projects which rely on this). But it's just unnecessary bloat as it
requires a separate code path from the option parser. It would be better
to remove this code. Formally deprecate it, including API bump and
warning in the API changes file to make it really clear.
Normally, OSD can be disabled with --osd-level=0. But this also disables
terminal OSD, and some users want _only_ the terminal OSD. Add
--video-osd=no, which essentially disables the video OSD.
Ideally, it should probably be possible to control terminal and video
OSD levels independently, but that would require separate OSD timers
(and other state) for both components, so don't do it. But because the
current situation isn't too ideal, add a threat to the manpage that
might be changed in the future.
Fixes#3387.
The --image-display-duration option controls how long an image is
displayed. It's also possible to display the image forever (until manual
user interaction stops playback).
With this, the core drops the old method to "drain" video (i.e. waiting
for the last frame duration on end of playback). Instead, we reuse
MPContext.time_frame. The old mechanism was disabled for non-images
anyway.
Fixes#3425.
This commit adds an --audio-channel=auto-safe mode, and makes it the
default. This mode behaves like "auto" with most AOs, except with
ao_alsa. The intention is to allow multichannel output by default on
sane APIs. ALSA is not sane as in it's so low level that it will e.g.
configure any layout over HDMI, even if the connected A/V receiver does
not support it. The HDMI fuckup is of course not ALSA's fault, but other
audio APIs normally isolate applications from dealing with this and
require the user to globally configure the correct output layout.
This will help with other AOs too. ao_lavc (encoding) is changed to the
new semantics as well, because it used to force stereo (perhaps because
encoding mode is supposed to produce safe files for crap devices?).
Exclusive mode output on Windows might need to be adjusted accordingly,
as it grants the same kind of low level access as ALSA (requires more
research).
In addition to the things mentioned above, the --audio-channels option
is extended to accept a set of channel layouts. This is supposed to be
the correct way to configure mpv ALSA multichannel output. You need to
put a list of channel layouts that your A/V receiver supports.
mixer.c didn't really deserve to be separate anymore, as half of its
contents were unnecessary glue code after recent changes. It also
created a weird split between audio.c and af.c due to the fact that
mixer.c could insert audio filters. With the code being in audio.c
directly, together with other code that unserts filters during runtime,
it will be possible to cleanup this code a bit and make it work like the
video filter code.
As part of this change, make the balance code work like the volume code,
and add an option to back the current balance value. Also, since the
balance semantics are unexpected for most users (panning between the
audio channels, instead of just changing the relative volume), and there
are some other volumes, formally deprecate both the old property and the
new option.
Old-style commands using _ as separator (e.g. show_progress) were still
used in some places, including documentation and configuration files.
This commit updates all such instances to the new style (show-progress)
so that commands are easier to find in the manual.
Drop the code for switching the volume options and properties between
af_volume and AO volume controls. interface-changes.rst mentions the
changes in detail.
Do this because this was exceedingly complex and had other problems as
well. It was also very hard to test. It's just not worth the trouble.
Some leftovers like AOCONTROL_HAS_PER_APP_VOLUME will be removed at a
later point.
Fixes#3322.
Until now, we've always converted vdpau video surfaces to RGB, and then
mapped the resulting RGB texture. Change this so that the surface is
mapped as NV12 plane textures.
The reason this wasn't done until now is because vdpau surfaces are
mapped in an "interlaced" way as separate fields, even for progressive
video. This requires messy reinterleraving. It turns out that even
though it's an extra processing step, the result can be faster than
going through the video mixer for RGB conversion.
Other than some potential speed-gain, doing this has multiple other
advantages. We can apply our own color conversion, which is important in
more complex cases. We can correctly apply debanding and potentially
other processing that requires chroma-specific or in-YUV handling.
If deinterlacing is enabled, this switches back to the old RGB
conversion method. Until we have at least a primitive deinterlacer in
vo_opengl, this will stay this way. The d3d11 and vaapi code paths are
similar. (Of course these don't require any crazy field reinterleaving.)
This uses the normal autoprobing rules like "auto", but rejects anything
that isn't flagged as copying data back to system memory.
The chunk in command.c was dead code, so remove it instead of updating
it.
Add --taskbar-progress command line option and property which controls taskbar
progress indication rendering in Windows 7+. This option is on by default and
can be toggled during playback.
This option does not affect the creation process of ITaskbarList3. When the
option is turned off the progress bar is just hidden with TBPF_NOPROGRESS.
Closes#2535
Flag that is set by default. Reseting it will result in mpv trying to fit
client area with video instead of the whole window with border and
decorations on the screen.
Marked as (Windows only) for now until it's implemented on other platforms.
--sub-ass=no / --ass=no still work, but --ass-style-override=strip is
preferred now. With this change, --ass-style-override can control all
the types of style overriding.
This uses ID3D11VideoProcessor to convert the video to a RGBA surface,
which is then bound to ANGLE. Currently ANGLE does not provide any way
to bind nv12 surfaces directly, so this will have to do.
ID3D11VideoContext1 would give us slightly more control about the
colorspace conversion, though it's still not good, and not available
in MinGW headers yet.
The video processor is created lazily, because we need to have the coded
frame size, of which AVFrame and mp_image have no concept of. Doing the
creation lazily is less of a pain than somehow hacking the coded frame
size into mp_image.
I'm not really sure how ID3D11VideoProcessorInputView is supposed to
work. We recreate it on every frame, which is simple and hopefully
doesn't affect performance.
Commit 382bafcb changed the behavior for ab-loop-a. This commit changes
ab-loop-b so that the behavior is symmetric.
Adjust the OSD rendering accordingly to the two changes.
Also fix mentions of the "ab_loop" command to the now preferred
"ab-loop".
In the past, --video-unscaled also disabled zooming and aspect ratio
corrections. But this didn't make much sense in terms of being a useful
option. The new behavior just sets the initial video size to be
unscaled, but it's still affected by zoom commands and aspect ratio
corrections.
To get the old behavior back, --video-aspect=0 --video-zoom=0 need to be
added as well (in the general case). Most of the time it should not make
a difference though.
Also, there seems to have been some additional dst_rect clamping code
inside src_dst_split_scaling that didn't seem to either be necessary nor
ever get triggered. (The code immediately above it already makes sure to
crop the video if it's larger than the dst_rect)
No idea why it was there, but I just removed it.
It's pretty "unfriendly" and causes too many issues. (Probably. At least
they're more obvious to a user than e.g. broken frame timing.)
Potentially we could apply heuristics like applying this only on
fullscreen, but let's not. It's up to the user to configure this to
get best results.
Fixes#2997.
The past behavior was a bit weird, especially when zooming out. There
was no simple way to zoom in or out in consistent increments using
keybindings alone.
The new behavior preserves most of the old behavior's semantics but
scales out to infinity better. It coincidentally also makes it
really easy to get clean power of 2 ratios (e.g. 2x, 4x, 8x and their
inverses).
Fixes#3004.
This commit adds the d3d11va-copy hwdec mode using the ffmpeg d3d11va
api. Functions in common with dxva2 are handled in a separate decode/d3d.c
file. A future commit will rewrite decode/dxva2.c to share this code.
See --lavfi-complex option.
This is still quite rough. There's no support for dynamic configuration
of any kind. There are probably corner cases where playback might freeze
or burn 100% CPU (due to dataflow problems when interaction with
libavfilter).
Future possible plans might include:
- freely switch tracks by providing some sort of default track graph
label
- automatically enabling audio visualization
- automatically mix audio or stack video when multiple tracks are
selected at once (similar to how multiple sub tracks can be selected)
This is probably the 3rd time the user-visible behavior changes. This
time, switch back because not normalizing seems to be the more expected
behavior from users.
Too many problems. Well, actually it's just Linux audio systems which
cause problems, and exclusive audio access on other platforms.
In any case, it seems you have to do some manual configuration if you
want multichannel audio output.
Since the streams are chosen from the full TS by the player frontend,
one should not expect that the program which is shown matches the chosen
channel which was used for tuning to the frequency.
Also, reformulate slightly to simplify reading.
Always preroll by default if the cue (index) information indicates
overlapping subtitles.
Increase the amount of maximum data it will skip to get such subtitles
to 10 seconds. Since the index information can reliably tell whether
reading earlier is needed, the maximum should be rarely actually used,
thus we can set it high. On the other hand, the "old" prerolling
mechanism always has to skip the maximum amount of data; thus the method
using the index gets its own option to control the maximum amount of
data to skip.
(As more and more files With newer mkvtoolnix versions are muxed, and
with this new and hopefully sane default established, these options can
probably be removed in the future.)
Requested. It works like --sub-paths. This will also load audio files
from a "audio" sub directory in the config file (because the same code
as for subtitles is used, and it also had such a feature).
Fixes#2632.
