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.
These functions weren't specific to video filters and were misplaced
in vf.c. Move them to mp_image.c.
Fix the big endian test in vf_mpi_clear/mp_image_clear, which has been
messed up in 74df1d.
According to DOCS/OUTDATED-tech/colorspaces.txt, the following formats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.
Instead of using a callback to "capture" the image next time the filter
function is called, do it the other way around: on every filter
invocation, create a reference to the image, and return it if a
screenshot is requested. This also fixes the 1-frame delay when taking
screenshots with the filter.
This also allows simplifying screenshot.c.
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.
Change the entire filter API to use reference counted images instead
of vf_get_image().
Remove filter "direct rendering". This was useful for vf_expand and (in
rare cases) vf_sub: DR allowed these filters to pass a cropped image to
the filters before them. Then, on filtering, the image was "uncropped",
so that black bars could be added around the image without copying. This
means that in some cases, vf_expand will be slower (-vf gradfun,expand
for example).
Note that another form of DR used for in-place filters has been replaced
by simpler logic. Instead of trying to do DR, filters can check if the
image is writeable (with mp_image_is_writeable()), and do true in-place
if that's the case. This affects filters like vf_gradfun and vf_sub.
Everything has to support strides now. If something doesn't, making a
copy of the image data is required.
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.
vdpau hardware decoding used the DR (direct rendering) path to let the
decoder query a surface from the VO. Special-case the HW decoding path
instead, to make it separate from DR.
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.
For some reason, libavcodec abuses the slices rendering code path for
hardware decoding: in that case, the only purpose of the draw callback
is to pass a vdpau video surface object to video output. (It is unclear
to me why this had to use the slices code, instead of just returning an
AVFrame with the required vdpau state.)
Make this code separate within mpv, so that the internal slices code
path is not used for hardware decoding. Pass the vdpau state with
VOCTRL_HWDEC_DECODER_RENDER instead.
Remove the mencoder specific VOCTRLs.
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 check determined whether the argument for .align is in bytes, or
log2(bytes). Apparently it's always in bytes for ELF i386 systems, and
this check is used for x86 inline assembler only. Even if this
assumption should be wrong, it likely won't cause much damage: the
existing code uses it only in the form ".align 4", which means in the
worst case it will try to align to 16 bytes, which doesn't cause any
problems (unless the object file format does not support such a high
alignment).
Update the filters that used this.
Quoting the GNU as manual:
For other systems, including ppc, i386 using a.out format, arm and
strongarm, it is the number of low-order zero bits the location counter
must have after advancement. For example `.align 3' advances the
location counter until it a multiple of 8. If the location counter is
already a multiple of 8, no change is needed.
Strictly speaking, 444P is higher quality than YV12, but doing this is
not very useful when playing 10 bit video with -vo opengl-old on a GPU
that doesn't support 16 bit textures.
Based on a patch by qyot27. Add the missing parts in mp_get_chroma_shift(),
which allow allocation of such images, and which make vo_opengl
automatically accept the new formats. Change the IMGFMT_IS_YUVP16_LE/BE
macros to properly report IMGFMT_444P14 as supported: this pixel format
has the highest numerical bit width identifier (0x55), which is not
covered by the mask ~0xfc. Remove 1 bit from the mask (makes it 0xf8) so
that IMGFMT_IS_YUVP16(IMGFMT_444P14) is 1. This is slightly risky, as
the organization of the image format IDs (actually FourCCs + mplayer
internal IDs) is messy at best, but it should be ok.
sws_getContextFromCmdLine_hq() was used by the screenshot code, which
now uses mp_image_swscale().
Also move the mp_sws_set_colorspace() declaration from sws_utils.h to
vf_scale.c.
Until now, screenshots with the video filter didn't add subs (unclear
whether that was an oversight or feature). Fix this and make behavior
when taking screenshots with vf_screenshot more consistent with VO
screenshots.
The change in vf_screenshot is needed, because add_subs() checks this
flag to decide whether it's allowed to mutate the image.
This commit has another user visible side effect. When taking a
screenshot each frame (using the "each-frame" mode of the screenshot
command), a normal screenshot command will stop the each-frame mode.
mp_image has this confusing distinction between the w/h and width/height
fields. w/h are the actual width and height, while width/height have a
very special meaning inside the video filter code: it's the actually
allocated width, which is also used for stride padding.
Screenshot related code abused the w/h fields to store the aspect
corrected size. Some code confused the role of w/h and width/height.
Fix these issues. For aspect corrected size, display_w/h are used, while
width/height should never be used outside vf.c internals and related
code.
This also fixes an actual bug when taking screenshots of anamorphic
video with vf_screenshot, as well as using vo_image with such videos.
The lines added with this commit were accidentally removed in commit
a0d759, which was a pure cleanup commit merged from mplayer-svn. The
difference between mplayer-svn and the mplayer2 base is that this
filter has been made PTS aware in mplayer2.
Also remove the redundant initialization of vf->priv->state.
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.
