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.
This preserves channel balance better and helps reduce discoloration due
to nonlinear tone mapping.
I wasn't sure whether to stuff this inside pass_color_manage or
pass_tone_map but decided for the former because adding the extra
mp_csp_prim would have made the signature of the latter longer than
80col, and also because the `mp_get_cms_matrix` below it basically does
the same thing anyway, so it doesn't look that out of place. Also why is
this justification longer than the actual description of the algorithm
and what it's good for?
This introduces (yet another..) mp_colorspace members, an enum `light`
(for lack of a better name) which basically tells us whether we're
dealing with scene-referred or display-referred light, but also a bit
more metadata (in which way is the scene-referred light expected to be
mapped to the display?).
The addition of this parameter accomplishes two goals:
1. Allows us to actually support HLG more-or-less correctly[1]
2. Allows people playing back direct “camera” content (e.g. v-log or
s-log2) to treat it as scene-referred instead of display-referred
[1] Even better would be to use the display-referred OOTF instead of the
idealized OOTF, but this would require either native HLG support in
LittleCMS (unlikely) or more communication between lcms.c and
video_shaders.c than I'm remotely comfortable with
That being said, in principle we could switch our usage of the BT.1886
EOTF to the BT.709 OETF instead and treat BT.709 content as being
scene-referred under application of the 709+1886 OOTF; which moves that
particular conversion from the 3dlut to the shader code; but also allows
a) users like UliZappe to turn it off and b) supporting the full HLG
OOTF in the same framework. But I think I prefer things as they are
right now.
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.
Implementation-wise, the values from the demuxer/codec header are merged
with the values from the decoder such that the former are used only
where the latter are unknown (0/auto).
Commit aa1047a3 originally added this as:
+ // this is from the DarkPlaces engine, reduces to 3x3. Original code
+ // released under GPL2 or any later version.
According to Rudolf Polzer, the original author (a certain LH) was
actually asked whether it would be ok to put this code under LGPL, and
the author gave his agreement. This code is not from id Software either
(on which large parts of DarkPlaces is based on), which is the main
reason why DarkPlaces is under GPL.
So this note is just confusing, and always has been LGPL. Fix it.
These mostly happen in situations where the correct behavior is
relatively new and not found in the wild (therefore not worth
implementing) and/or extremely complicated (and thus not worth worrying
about the potential edge cases and UI changes).
Still, it's best to document these where they happen to guide the poor
souls maintaining these files in the future.
This involves multiple changes:
1. Brightness metadata is split into nominal peak and signal peak.
For a quick and dirty explanation: nominal peak is the brightest value
that your color space can represent (i.e. the brightness of an encoded
1.0), and signal peak is the brightest value that actually occurs in
the video (i.e. the brightest thing that's displayed).
2. vo_opengl uses a new decision logic to figure out the right nom_peak
and sig_peak for all situations. It also does a better job of picking
the right target gamut/colorspace to use for the OSD. (Which still is
and still should be treated as sRGB). This change in logic also
fixes#3293 en passant.
3. Since it was growing rapidly, the logic for auto-guessing / inferring
the right colorimetry configuration (in pass_colormanage) was split from
the logic for actually performing the adaptation (now pass_color_map).
Right now, the new logic doesn't do a whole lot since HDR metadata is
still ignored (but not for long).
This has two reasons:
1. I tend to add new fields to this metadata, and every time I've done
so I've consistently forgotten to update all of the dozens of places in
which this colorimetry metadata might end up getting used. While most
usages don't really care about most of the metadata, sometimes the
intend was simply to “copy” the colorimetry metadata from one struct to
another. With this being inside a substruct, those lines of code can now
simply read a.color = b.color without having to care about added or
removed fields.
2. It makes the type definitions nicer for upcoming refactors.
In going through all of the usages, I also expanded a few where I felt
that omitting the “young” fields was a bug.
Instead of hard-coding a big list, move some of the functionality
to csputils. Affects both the auto-guess blacklist and the peak
estimation.
Also update the comments.
User request and not that hard. Closes#3157.
Note that FFmpeg doesn't support this and there's no signalling in HEVC
etc., so the only way users can access it is by using vf_format
manually.
Mind: This encoding uses full range values, not TV range.
This is actually not entirely trivial since it involves negative Yxy
coordinates, so the CMM has to be capable of full floating point
operation. Fortunately, LittleCMS is, so we can just blindly implement
it.
This HDR function is unique in that it's still display-referred, it just
allows for values above the reference peak (super-highlights). The
official standard doesn't actually document this very well, but the
nominal peak turns out to be exactly 12.0 - so we normalize to this
value internally in mpv. (This lets us preserve the property that the
textures are encoded in the range [0,1], preventing clipping and making
the best use of an integer texture's range)
This was grouped together with SMPTE ST2084 when checking libavutil
compatibility since they were added in the same release window, in a
similar timeframe.
This now lets us auto-detect appropriately tagged HDR content using
FFmpeg's new TRC entries (when available).
Hidden behind an #if because Libav stable doesn't have it yet.
Currently, this relies on the user manually entering their display
brightness (since we have no way to detect this at runtime or from ICC
metadata). The default value of 250 was picked by looking at ~10 reviews
on tftcentral.co.uk and realizing they all come with around 250 cd/m^2
out of the box. (In addition, ITU-R Rec. BT.2022 supports this)
Since there is no metadata in FFmpeg to indicate usage of this TRC, the
only way to actually play HDR content currently is to set
``--vf=format=gamma=st2084``. (It could be guessed based on SEI, but
this is not implemented yet)
Incidentally, since SEI is ignored, it's currently assumed that all
content is scaled to 10,000 cd/m^2 (and hard-clipped where out of
range). I don't see this assumption changing much, though.
As an unfortunate consequence of the fact that we don't know the display
brightness, mixed with the fact that LittleCMS' parametric tone curves
are not flexible enough to support PQ, we have to build the 3DLUT
against gamma 2.2 if it's used. This might be a good thing, though,
consdering the PQ source space is probably not fantastic for
interpolation either way.
Partially addresses #2572.
This colorspace has been historically used as a calibration target for
most digital projectors and sees some involvement in the UltraHD
standards, so it's a useful addition to mpv.
Do this to make the license situation less confusing.
This change should be of no consequence, since LGPL is compatible with
GPL anyway, and making it LGPL-only does not restrict the use with GPL
code.
Additionally, the wording implies that this is allowed, and that we can
just remove the GPL part.
Why not.
Also, instead of disabling hue/saturation for RGB, just don't apply
them. (They don't make sense for conversion matrixes other than YUV, but
I can't be bothered to keep the fine-grained disabling of UI controls
either.)
This has no reason to be there. Put the functionality into another
function instead. While we're at it, also adjust for possible accuracy
issues with high bit depth YUV (matters for rendering subtitles into
screenshots only).
The computation of the tex_mul variable was broken in multiple ways.
This variable is used e.g. by debanding for moving expansion of 10 bit
fixed-point input to normalized range to another stage of processing.
One obvious bug was that the rgb555 pixel format was broken. This format
has component_bits=5, but obviously it's already sampled in normalized
range, and does not need expansion. The tex_mul-free code path avoids
this by not using the colormatrix. (The code was originally designed to
work around dealing with the generally complicated pixel formats by only
using the colormatrix in the YUV case.)
Another possible bug was with 10 bit input. It expanded the input by
bringing the [0,2^10) range to [0,1], and then treating the expanded
input as 16 bit input. I didn't bother to check what this actually
computed, but it's somewhat likely it was wrong anyway. Now it uses
mp_get_csp_mul(), and disables expansion when computing the YUV matrix.
The vf_format suboption is replaced with --video-output-levels (a global
option and property). In particular, the parameter is removed from
mp_image_params. The mechanism is moved to the "video equalizer", which
also handles common video output customization like brightness and
contrast controls.
The new code is slightly cleaner, and the top-level option is slightly
more user-friendly than as vf_format sub-option.
It's weird that this basically adjusts the contrast between luma and
chroma, and not blackness.
This is more in line with the behavior of libswscale, the vdpau
"procamp" (which mpv doesn't use), and Xv.
Use OPT_CHOICE_C() instead of the custom parser. The functionality is
pretty much equivalent.
(On a side note, it seems --video-stereo-mode can't be removed, because
it controls whether to "reduce" stereo video to mono, which is also the
default. In fact I'm not sure how this should be handled at all.)
Remove the colorspace-related top-level options, add them to vf_format.
They are rather obscure and not needed often, so it's better to get them
out of the way. In particular, this gets rid of the semi-complicated
logic in command.c (most of which was needed for OSD display and the
direct feedback from the VO). It removes the duplicated color-related
name mappings.
This removes the ability to write the colormatrix and related
properties. Since filters can be changed at runtime, there's no loss of
functionality, except that you can't cycle automatically through the
color constants anymore (but who needs to do this).
This also changes the type of the mp_csp_names and related variables, so
they can directly be used with OPT_CHOICE. This probably ended up a bit
awkward, for the sake of not adding a new option type which would have
used the previous format.
This adds stuff related to gamma, linear light, sigmoid, BT.2020-CL,
etc, as well as color management. Also adds a new gamma function (gamma22).
This adds new parameters to configure the CMS settings, in particular
letting us target simple colorspaces without requiring usage of a 3DLUT.
This adds smoothmotion. Mostly working, but it's still sensitive to
timing issues. It's based on an actual queue now, but the queue size
is kept small to avoid larger amounts of latency.
Also makes “upscale before blending” the default strategy.
This is justified because the "render after blending" thing doesn't seme
to work consistently any way (introduces stutter due to the way vsync
timing works, or something), so this behavior is a bit closer to master
and makes pausing/unpausing less weird/jumpy.
This adds the remaining scalers, including bicubic_fast, sharpen3,
sharpen5, polar filters and antiringing. Apparently, sharpen3/5 also
consult scale-param1, which was undocumented in master.
This also implements cropping and chroma transformation, plus
rotation/flipping. These are inherently part of the same logic, although
it's a bit rough around the edges in some case, mainly due to the fallback
code paths (for bilinear scaling without indirection).
Breaks vo_opengl by default. I'm hot able to fix this myself, because I
have no clue about the overcomplicated color management logic. Also,
whilethis is apparently caused by commit fbacd5, the following commits
all depend on it, so revert them too.
This reverts the following commits:
e141caa97d653b0dd529729c8b3f64fbacd5de31Fixes#1636.
We have MP_CSP_TRC defined, but it wasn't being used by practically
anything. This commit adds missing conversion logic, adds it to
mp_image, and moves the auto-guessing logic to where it should be, in
mp_image_params_guess_csp (and out of vo_opengl).
Note that this also fixes a minor bug: csp_prim was not being copied
between mp_image structs if the format was not YUV in both cases, but
this is wrong - the primaries are always relevant.
There was some code accounting for different gamma values for R/G/B.
It's inherited from an old, undocumented MPlayer feature, which was at
some point disabled for convenience by myself (meaning you couldn't
actually set separate gamma because it was removed from the property
interface - mp_csp_copy_equalizer_values() just set them to the same
value). Get rid of these meaningless leftovers.
