Mainly meant to apply simple VapourSynth filters to video at runtime.
This has various restrictions, which are listed in the manpage.
Additionally, this actually copies video frames when converting frame
references from mpv to VapourSynth, and a second time when going from
VapourSynth to mpv. This is inefficient and could probably be easily
improved. But for now, this is simpler, and in fact I'm not sure if
we even can references VapourSynth frames after the core has been
destroyed.
It's not really needed to be public. Other code can just use mp_image.
The only disadvantage is that the other code needs to call an accessor
to get the VASurfaceID.
Although I at first thought it would be better to have a separate
implementation for hwaccels because the difference to software images
are too large, it turns out you can actually save some code with it.
Note that the old implementation had a small memory management bug. This
got painted over in commit 269c1e1, but is hereby solved properly.
Also note that I couldn't test vf_vavpp.c (due to lack of hardware), and
I hope I didn't accidentally break it.
This follows the (only slowly progressing) plan to replace all internal
video filters with libavfilter.
All what's left in vf_gradfun.c is the weird wrapper around vf_lavfi.c.
Always pass around mp_log contexts in the option parser code. This of
course affects all users of this API as well.
In stream.c, pass a mp_null_log, because we can't do it properly yet.
This will be fixed later.
This ended up a little bit messy. In order to get a mp_log everywhere,
mostly make use of the fact that va_surface already references global
state anyway.
This requires the caller to provide a mp_log in order to see error
messages. Unfortunately we don't do this in most places, but I guess we
have to live with it.
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.
The tmsg stuff was for the internal gettext() based translation system,
which nobody ever attempted to use and thus was removed. mp_gtext() and
set_osd_tmsg() were also for this.
mp_dbg was once enabled in debug mode only, but since we have log level
for enabling debug messages, it seems utterly useless.
This gets rid of the vf_vo pseudo-filter. It ends the idea of MPlayer's
architecture that the VO is just a (terminating) video filter. It didn't
really work for us with respect to video timing (the "end" of the video
chain isn't really made for video timing, and making it do so would be
awkward), and now we're removing it entirely. We will be able to fix
some things, such as properly draining video on reconfiguration.
I don't think this has any reason to exist. It's likely that this used
to be required by the old direct rendering infrastructure. (See
git blame output.)
Remove the inconsistent, duplicated, and insufficient scale filter
insertion code, and do it in one place instead. This also compensates
for the earlier removal of vf_match_csp() (which was in fact duplicated
code).
The algorithm to determine where to insert a filter etc. is probably the
same, though it also comes with some changes that should make debugging
easier when trying to figure out why a chain is failing to configure.
Add an "in" pseudo filter, which makes insertion of conversion filters
easier. Also change the vf->reconfig signature. At a later point, I'll
probably change format negotiation such that the generic filter code
will choose the output format, so having separate in and out params will
be useful.
Reason: I never liked it being recursive. Generally, this seems to
cause more problems than trouble, and is less flexible for access
outside of the chain.
I don't think we need these flags anymore. Simplify the code and get rid
of the vf_format struct.
There still is the vf_format.configured field, but this can be replaced
by checking for a valid image format.
This adds vf_chain, which unlike vf_instance refers to the filter chain
as a whole. This makes the filter API less awkward, and will allow
handling format negotiation better.
This function improves automatic filter insertion, but this really
should be done by the generic filter code. Remove vf_match_csp() and all
code using it as preparation for that.
This commit temporarily makes handling of filter insertion worse for
now, but it will be fixed with the following commits.
They didn't do anything.
vf_screenshot.c actually did release the previous image, but that's not
really required. At worst you could take a screenshot and get an old
frame when there's no new frame yet.
The --flip option flipped the image upside-down, by trying to use VO
support, or if not available, by inserting a video filter. I'm not sure
why it existed. Maybe it was important in ancient times when VfW based
decoders output an image this way (but even then, flipping an image is a
free operation by negating the stride).
One nice thing about this is that it provided a possible path for
implementing video orientation, which is a feature we should probably
support eventually. The important part is that it would be for free for
VOs that support it, and would work even with hardware decoding.
But for now get rid of it. It's useless, trivial, stands in the way, and
supporting video orientation would require solving other problems first.
The vf_eq context contains a very large lookup table, and the method of
setting default values caused the vf_eq context to be included in the
compiled code.
