In order to support OSD redrawing for vo_xv and vo_x11, draw_bmp.c
included an awkward "backup" mechanism to copy and restore image
regions that have been changed by OSD/subtitles.
Replace this by a much simpler mechanism: keep a reference to the
original image, and use that to restore the Xv/X framebuffers.
In the worst case, this may increase cache pressure and memory usage,
even if no OSD or subtitles are rendered. In practice, it seems to be
always faster.
Remove the strange things the old mp_image_setfmt() code did to the
image format parameters. This includes setting chroma shift to 31 for
gray (Y8) formats and more.
Y8 + vo_opengl_old didn't actually work for unknown reasons (regression
in this branch). Fix this. The difference is that Y8 is now interpreted
as gray RGB (LUMINANCE texture) instead of involving YUV (and levels)
conversion.
Get rid of distinguishing RGB and BGR. There wasn't really any good
reason for this.
Remove mp_get_chroma_shift() and IMGFMT_IS_YUVP16*(). mp_imgfmt_desc
gives the same information and more.
mplayer's video chain traditionally used FourCCs for pixel formats. For
example, it used IMGFMT_YV12 for 4:2:0 YUV, which was defined to the
string 'YV12' interpreted as unsigned int. Additionally, it used to
encode information into the numeric values of some formats. The RGB
formats had their bit depth and endian encoded into the least
significant byte. Extended planar formats (420P10 etc.) had chroma
shift, endian, and component bit depth encoded. (This has been removed
in recent commits.)
Replace the FourCC mess with a simple enum. Remove all the redundant
formats like YV12/I420/IYUV. Replace some image format names by
something more intuitive, most importantly IMGFMT_YV12 -> IMGFMT_420P.
Add img_fourcc.h, which contains the old IDs for code that actually uses
FourCCs. Change the way demuxers, that output raw video, identify the
video format: they set either MP_FOURCC_RAWVIDEO or MP_FOURCC_IMGFMT to
request the rawvideo decoder, and sh_video->imgfmt specifies the pixel
format. Like the previous hack, this is supposed to avoid the need for
a complete codecs.cfg entry per format, or other lookup tables. (Note
that the RGB raw video FourCCs mostly rely on ffmpeg's mappings for NUT
raw video, but this is still considered better than adding a raw video
decoder - even if trivial, it would be full of annoying lookup tables.)
The TV code has not been tested.
Some corrective changes regarding endian and other image format flags
creep in.
According to DOCS/OUTDATED-tech/colorspaces.txt, the following formats
are supposed to be palettized:
IMGFMT_BGR8
IMGFMT_RGB8,
IMGFMT_BGR4_CHAR
IMGFMT_RGB4_CHAR
IMGFMT_BGR4
IMGFMT_RGB4
Of these, only BGR8 and RGB8 are actually treated as palettized in some
way. ffmpeg has only one palettized format (AV_PIX_FMT_PAL8), and
IMGFMT_BGR8 was inconsistently mapped to packed non-palettized RGB
formats too (AV_PIX_FMT_BGR8). Moreover, vf_scale.c contained messy
hacks to generate a palette when AV_PIX_FMT_BGR8 is output. (libswscale
does not support AV_PIX_FMT_PAL8 output in the first place.)
Get rid of all of this, and introduce IMGFMT_PAL8, which directly maps
to AV_PIX_FMT_PAL8. Remove the palette creation code from vf_scale.c.
IMGFMT_BGR8 maps to AV_PIX_FMT_RGB8 (don't ask me why it's swapped),
without any palette use. Enabling it in vo_x11 or using it as vf_scale
input seems to give correct results.
Remove mp_image.width/height. The w/h members are the ones to use.
width/height were used internally by vf_get_image(), and sometimes for
other purposes.
Remove some image flags, most of which are now useless or completely
unused. This includes VFCAP_ACCEPT_STRIDE: the vf_expand insertion in
vf.c does nothing.
Remove some other unused mp_image fields.
Some rather messy changes in vo_opengl[_old] to get rid of legacy
mp_image flags and fields. This is left from when vo_gl supported DR.
Setting the size of a mp_image must be done with mp_image_set_size()
now. Do this to guarantee that the redundant fields (like chroma_width)
are updated consistently. Replacing the redundant fields by function
calls would probably be better, but there are too many uses of them,
and is a bit less convenient.
Most code actually called mp_image_setfmt(), which did this as well.
This commit just makes things a bit more explicit.
Warning: the video filter chain still sets up mp_images manually,
and vf_get_image() is not updated.
Slices allowed filtering or drawing video in horizontal bands or
blocks. This allowed working on the video in smaller units. In theory,
this could bring a performance win by lowering cache pressure, as you
didn't have to keep the whole video frame in cache while filtering,
only the slice.
In practice, the slice code path was barely used for the following
reasons:
- Multithreaded decoding with ffmpeg didn't use slices. The ffmpeg
slice callback was disabled, because it can be called from another
thread, and the mplayer video chain is not thread-safe.
- There was nothing that would turn "full" images into appropriate
slices, so slices were rarely used.
- Most filters didn't actually support slices.
On the other hand, supporting slices lead to code duplication and more
complex code in general. I made some experiments and didn't find any
actual measurable performance improvements when using slices. Even
ffmpeg removed slices based filtering from libavfilter in favor of
simpler code.
The most broken thing about the slices code path is that slices can't
be queued, like it is done for images in vo.c.
Remove VOCTRL_DRAW_IMAGE and always set vo_driver.draw_image in VOs.
Make draw_image mandatory: change some VOs (like vo_x11) to support it,
and remove the image-to-slices fallback in vf_vo.
Remove vo_driver.is_new. This member indicated whether draw_image is
supported unconditionally, which is now always the case.
draw_image_pts is a hack until the video filter chain is changed to
include the PTS as field in mp_image. Then vo_vdpau and vo_lavc will
be changed to use draw_image.
The OSD couldn't be updated at all without frame stepping. This made the
VO unusable (In fact, vo_x11 should never be used, but it's provided as
fail-safe fallback). Implement VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME to deal with this.
Unfortunately, this exposes issues with draw_bmp's subtitle rendering:
areas that are not covered by subtitles at all are changed as well. The
"backup" mechanism provided by draw_bmp doesn't copy these areas, which
turns up as quite visible artifacts. (These are included when taking
screenshots too.)
Although vo_x11 shouldn't be used, it's a good thing to have screenshot
support in absolutely all interactive VOs. (Except vo_caca, but that is
literally a joke.)
The -zoom option enabled scaling with vo_x11. Remove the -zoom option,
and make its behavior default. Since vo_x11 has to use libswscale for
colorspace conversion anyway, which doesn't do actual extra scaling when
vo_x11 is run in windowed mode, there should be no speed difference with
this change.
The code removed from vf_scale attempted to scale the video to d_width/
d_height, which matters for anamorphic video and the --xy option only.
vo_x11 can handle these natively. The only case for which the removed
vf_scale code could matter is encoding with vo_lavc, but since that
didn't set VOFLAG_SWSCALE, nothing actually changes.
Finish renaming directories and moving files. Adjust all include
statements to make the previous commit compile.
The two commits are separate, because git is bad at tracking renames
and content changes at the same time.
Also take this as an opportunity to remove the separation between
"common" and "mplayer" sources in the Makefile. ("common" used to be
shared between mplayer and mencoder.)
Tis drops the silly lib prefixes, and attempts to organize the tree in
a more logical way. Make the top-level directory less cluttered as
well.
Renames the following directories:
libaf -> audio/filter
libao2 -> audio/out
libvo -> video/out
libmpdemux -> demux
Split libmpcodecs:
vf* -> video/filter
vd*, dec_video.* -> video/decode
mp_image*, img_format*, ... -> video/
ad*, dec_audio.* -> audio/decode
libaf/format.* is moved to audio/ - this is similar to how mp_image.*
is located in video/.
Move most top-level .c/.h files to core. (talloc.c/.h is left on top-
level, because it's external.) Park some of the more annoying files
in compat/. Some of these are relicts from the time mplayer used
ffmpeg internals.
sub/ is not split, because it's too much of a mess (subtitle code is
mixed with OSD display and rendering).
Maybe the organization of core is not ideal: it mixes playback core
(like mplayer.c) and utility helpers (like bstr.c/h). Should the need
arise, the playback core will be moved somewhere else, while core
contains all helper and common code.
