This removes all GPL only code from it, and that's the whole purpose.
Also happens to be much simpler.
The "deinterlace" option still sort of exists, but only as runtime
changeable option. The main change in behavior is that the property will
not report back the actual deint state. Or in other words, if inserting
or initializing the filter fails, the deinterlace property will still
return "yes". This is in line with most recent behavior changes to
properties and options.
I really wouldn't care much about this, but some parts of the core code
are under HAVE_GPL, so there's some need to get rid of it. Simply turn
the video equalizer from its current fine-grained handling with vf/vo
fallbacks into global options. This makes updating them much simpler.
This removes any possibility of applying video equalizers in filters,
which affects vf_scale, and the previously removed vf_eq. Not a big
loss, since the preferred VOs have this builtin.
Remove video equalizer handling from vo_direct3d, vo_sdl, vo_vaapi, and
vo_xv. I'm not going to waste my time on these legacy VOs.
vo.eq_opts_cache exists _only_ to send a VOCTRL_SET_EQUALIZER, which
exists _only_ to trigger a redraw. This seems silly, but for now I feel
like this is less of a pain. The rest of the equalizer using code is
self-updating.
See commit 96b906a51d for how some video equalizer code was GPL only.
Some command line option names and ranges can probably be traced back to
a GPL only committer, but we don't consider these copyrightable.
Most authors have agreed. Like with vo.c, we don't take module
declarations into consideration (see 0e09533c73).
Notable issues:
115bfb9762: the author has (probably) not agreed. The vf.c changes were
removed with the removal of filter DR, though (see c54fc507da).
7b25afd742: the same author adds VOCTRLs for deinterlacing switching at
runtime. Put them under a HAVE_GPL ifdef just to be sure. (It looks like
we could remove the VOCTRLs immediately, as they're needed only for some
compatibility things, but no need to do that yet.)
02b199e5e9: the author had a conditional agreement to LGPL, which
doesn't allow us to change it just yet, but the code added here was
completely removed anyway. (These days, the pts is passed as mp_image
field, and put_image is gone.)
3532cd532e: same author, but code removed with DR removal.
f0626e2f8d: same author, but code was moved to mp_image.c.
e5b4b495c3: agreed to LGPLv3+ only, but the code was removed in
cfa1f9e082 anyway.
086c324692: author was not asked - minor warning fix, but no mpv
includes malloc.h anymore.
e9d0a1d609: author was not asked - removed again in 33b62af947.
c260a1139d: author could not be reached - but this code was removed when
mpv changed the image allocation code to essentially use FFmpeg's
pixdesc.
Requires a bunch of hacks:
- we access AVFilterLink.hw_frames_ctx. This is not a public API in
FFmpeg and Libav. Newer FFmpeg provides an accessor
(av_buffersink_get_hw_frames_ctx), but it's not available in Libav or
the current FFmpeg release or Libav. We need this value after filter
graph creation, so We have no choice but to access this.
One alternative is making filter creation and format negotiation
fully lazy (i.e. delay it and do it as filters are output), but this
would be a huge change.
So for now, we knowingly violate FFmpeg's and Libav's ABI and API
constraints because they don't provide anything better.
On newer FFmpeg, we use the (quite ugly) accessor, though.
- mp_image_params doesn't (and can't) have a field for the frames
context AVBufferRef. So we pass it via vf_set_proto_frame(), and even
more hacks.
- if a filter needs a hw context, but we haven't created one yet
(because normally we create them lazily), it will fail at init.
- we allow any hw format now, although this could go horrible wrong.
Why all this effort? We could move hw deinterlacing filters etc. to
FFmpeg, which is a very worthy goal.
Instead of letting it keep decoding by trying to find a new frame,
"plug" the frame queue by not removing it. (Or actually, by putting
it back instead of discarding it.)
Matters for seamless looping (following commits), and possibly some
other corner cases.
The added function vf_unread_output_frame() is a bit of a sin, but still
reasonable, since its implementation is trivial.
We now have a video filter that uses the d3d11 video processor, so it
makes no sense to have one in the VO interop code. The VO uses it for
formats not directly supported by ANGLE (so the video data is converted
to a RGB texture, which ANGLE can take in).
Change this so that the video filter is automatically inserted if
needed. Move the code that maps RGB surfaces to its own inteorp backend.
Add a bunch of new image formats, which are used to enforce the new
constraints, and to automatically insert the filter only when needed.
The added vf mechanism to auto-insert the d3d11vpp filter is very dumb
and primitive, and will work only for this specific purpose. The format
negotiation mechanism in the filter chain is generally not very pretty,
and mostly broken as well. (libavfilter has a different mechanism, and
these mechanisms don't match well, so vf_lavfi uses some sort of hack.
It only works because hwaccel and non-hwaccel formats are strictly
separated.)
The RGB interop is now only used with older ANGLE versions. The only
reason I'm keeping it is because it's relatively isolated (uses only
existing mechanisms and adds no new concepts), and because I want to be
able to compare the behavior of the old code with the new one for
testing. It will be removed eventually.
If ANGLE has NV12 interop, P010 is now handled by converting to NV12
with the video processor, instead of converting it to RGB and using the
old mechanism to import that as a texture.
The main change is with video/hwdec.h. mp_hwdec_info is made opaque (and
renamed to mp_hwdec_devices). Its accessors are mainly thread-safe (or
documented where not), which makes the whole thing saner and cleaner. In
particular, thread-safety rules become less subtle and more obvious.
The new internal API makes it easier to support multiple OpenGL interop
backends. (Although this is not done yet, and it's not clear whether it
ever will.)
This also removes all the API-specific fields from mp_hwdec_ctx and
replaces them with a "ctx" field. For d3d in particular, we drop the
mp_d3d_ctx struct completely, and pass the interfaces directly.
Remove the emulation checks from vaapi.c and vdpau.c; they are
pointless, and the checks that matter are done on the VO layer.
The d3d hardware decoders might slightly change behavior: dxva2-copy
will not use the VO device anymore if the VO supports proper interop.
This pretty much assumes that any in such cases the VO will not use any
form of exclusive mode, which makes using the VO device in copy mode
unnecessary.
This is a big refactor. Some things may be untested and could be broken.
Instead of handling this on filter chain reinit, do it directly after
the decoder. This makes the code less entangled. In particular, this
gets rid of the really weird "override params" concept in the video
filter code.
The last_format/fixed_formats have some redundance with decoder_output,
but unfortunately the latter has a slightly different use.
MPlayer traditionally always used the display aspect ratio, e.g. 16:9,
while FFmpeg uses the sample (aka pixel) aspect ratio.
Both have a bunch of advantages and disadvantages. Actually, it seems
using sample aspect ratio is generally nicer. The main reason for the
change is making mpv closer to how FFmpeg works in order to make life
easier. It's also nice that everything uses integer fractions instead
of floats now (except --video-aspect option/property).
Note that there is at least 1 user-visible change: vf_dsize now does
not set the display size, only the display aspect ratio. This is
because the image_params d_w/d_h fields did not just set the display
aspect, but also the size (except in encoding mode).
It's entirely useless, especially now that vo.c handles screenshots in a
generic way, and requires no special VO support. There are some
potential weird use-cases, but actually I've never seen it being used.
Apparently it was completely broken and essentially did nothing. This
was broken sometime in early mpv or mplayer2 times.
Get rid of it. If you _really_ need it, wait until FFmpeg ports it from
MPlayer, which will happen very soon.
Use different VOCTRLs for "window" and normal screenshot modes. The
normal one will probably be removed, and replaced by generic code in
vo.c, and this commit is preparation for this. (Doing it the other way
around would be slightly simpler, but I haven't decided yet about the
second one, and touching every VO is needed anyway in order to remove
the unneeded crap. E.g. has_osd has been unused for a long time.)
And remove all uses of the VFCAP_CSP_SUPPORTED* constants. This is
supposed to reduce conversions if many filters are used (with many
incompatible pixel formats), and also for preferring the VO's natively
supported pixel formats (as opposed to conversion).
This is worthless by now. Not only do the main VOs not use software
conversion, but also the way vf_lavfi and libavfilter work mostly break
the way the old MPlayer mechanism worked. Other important filters like
vf_vapoursynth do not support "proper" format negotation either.
Part of this was already removed with the vf_scale cleanup from today.
While I'm touching every single VO, also fix the query_format argument
(it's not a FourCC anymore).
This is basically a hack; but apparently a needed one, since many
vapoursynth filters insist on having a FPS set.
We need to apply the FPS override before creating the filters. Also
change some terminal output related to the FPS value.
Most of this is explained in the code comments. This change should
improve performance with vapoursynth, especially if concurrent requests
are used.
This should change nothing if vf_vapoursynth is not in the filter chain,
since non-threaded filters obviously can not asynchronously finish
filtering of frames.
Remove the extra vf_chain.output field - there's absolutely no need for
it, because there is always a last filter which will buffer the output.
For some reason, vf_chain.last was never set, which we now need to fix
too.
Consider a filter which turns 1 frame into 2 frames (such as an
deinterlacer). Until now, we forced filters to produce all output frames
at once. This was done for simplicity.
Change the filter API such that a filter can produce frames
incrementally.
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.
Functions whose return values changed semantics:
mp_image_alloc
mp_image_new_copy
mp_image_new_ref
mp_image_make_writeable
mp_image_setrefp
mp_image_to_av_frame_and_unref
mp_image_from_av_frame
mp_image_new_external_ref
mp_image_new_custom_ref
mp_image_pool_make_writeable
mp_image_pool_get
mp_image_pool_new_copy
mp_vdpau_mixed_frame_create
vf_alloc_out_image
vf_make_out_image_writeable
glGetWindowScreenshot
Additionally to removing the global variables, this makes the options
more uniform. --ssf-... becomes --sws-..., and --sws becomes --sws-
scaler. For --sws-scaler, use choices instead of magic integer values.
These replace vf_read_output_frame(), although we still emulate that
function. This change is preparation for another commit (and this is
basically just to reduce the diff and signal/noise ratio in that
commit).
Or in other words, add support for properly draining remaining frames
from video filters. vf_yadif is buffering at least one frame, and the
buffered frame was not retrieved on EOF.
For most filters, ignore this for now, and just adjust them to the
changed semantics of filter_ext. But for vf_lavfi (used by vf_yadif),
real support is implemented. libavfilter handles this simply by passing
a NULL frame to av_buffersrc_add_frame(), so we just have to make
mp_to_av() handle NULL arguments.
In load_next_vo_frame(), we first try to output a frame buffered in the
VO, then the filter, and then (if EOF is reached and there's still no
new frame) the VO again, with draining enabled. I guess this was
implemented slightly incorrectly before, because the filter chain still
could have had remaining output frames.
When using rotation with hw decoding, and the VO does not support
rotation, vf_rotate is attempted to be inserted. This will go wrong, and
after that it can't recover because a vf_scale filter was autoinserted.
Just removing all autoinserted filters before reconfig fixes this.
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.
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.
All filters now either use the generic option parser, or don't have
options. This finally finishes a transition started in 2003 (see git
commit 33b62af947).
Why are MPlayer devs so monumentally lazy? Sorry, but this takes the
cake. You had 10 years.
