Returning -1 in a function with return type bool is the same as
returning true. In the error paths, false should be returned to
indicate that something went wrong.
mp_sws_set_from_cmdline() has the only purpose to respect the --sws-
command line options. Instead of forcing callers to get the option
struct containing these, let callers pass mpv_global, and get it from
the option core code directly. This avoids minor annoyances later on.
vo_x11 and vo_xv need this. According to the Linux manpage, all involved
functions are POSIX-2001 anyway. (I just assumed they were not, because
they're mostly System V UNIX legacy garbage.)
Reduces the ifdeffery, which is good and will avoid silent breakages, or
weird behavior if a lib is omitted.
Also reorder the x11_common.c include statements.
The delay between call to .resize, which cleared the buffer, and
actually rendering the first video frame, was significant, resulting in
short flicker on navigation and resizing. This was especially visible
when zooming and navigating between images.
Now the clearing is scheduled to happen just before the rendering, which
looks to be good enough even without double buffering.
It was used to determine whether the VO supports VOCTRL_SET_PANSCAN.
With all those changes to property semantics this became unnecessary,
and its only use was dropped at some point.
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).
This parameter has been unused for years (the last flag was removed in
commit d658b115). Get rid of it.
This affects the general VO API, as well as the vo_opengl backend API,
so it touches a lot of files.
The VOFLAGs are still used to control OpenGL context creation, so move
them to the OpenGL backend code.
This gets rid of an old hack, VOFLAG_HIDDEN. Although handling of it has
been sane for a while, it used to cause much pain, and is still
unintuitive and weird even today.
The main reason for this hack is that OpenGL selects a X11 Visual for
you, and you're supposed to use this Visual when creating the X window
for the OpenGL context. Which means the X window can't be created early
in the common X11 init code, but the OpenGL code needs to do something
before that. API-wise you need separate functions for X11 init and X11
window creation. The VOFLAG_HIDDEN hack conflated window creation and
the entrypoint for resizing on video resolution change into one
function, vo_x11_config_vo_window(). This required all platform backends
to handle this flag, even if they didn't need this mechanism.
Wayland still uses this for minor reasons (alpha support?), so the
wayland backend must be changed before the flag can be entirely removed.
This reverts commit d11184a256.
Unfortunately, there was a lot of unexpected resistance.
Do note that this is still extremely slow, crappy, etc.
Note that vo_x11.c was further edited. Compared to the removed vo_x11.c,
an additional ~200 lines of code was removed in order to simplify it. I
tried to strip it down as much as possible. In particular, support for
odd non-32 bit formats (24, 16, 15, 8 bit) is dropped.
Closes#2300.
At the time screenshot support was added, images weren't refcounted yet,
so screenshots required specialized implementations in the VOs. But now
we can handle these things much simpler. Also see commit 5bb24980.
If there are VOs in the future which can't do this (e.g. they need to
write to the image passed to vo_driver->draw_image), this still could be
disabled on a per-VO basis etc., so we lose no potential performance
advantages.
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).
...because everything is terrible.
strerror() is not documented as having to be thread-safe by POSIX and
C11. (Which is pretty much bullshit, because both mandate threads and
some form of thread-local storage - so there's no excuse why
implementation couldn't implement this in a thread-safe way. Especially
with C11 this is ridiculous, because there is no way to use threads and
convert error numbers to strings at the same time!)
Since we heavily use threads now, we should avoid unsafe functions like
strerror().
strerror_r() is in POSIX, but GNU/glibc deliberately fucks it up and
gives the function different semantics than the POSIX one. It's a bit of
work to convince this piece of shit to expose the POSIX standard
function, and not the messed up GNU one.
strerror_l() is also in POSIX, but only since the 2008 standard, and
thus is not widespread.
The solution is using avlibc (libavutil, by its official name), which
handles the unportable details for us, mostly. We avoid some pain.
Add a generic mechanism to the VO to relay "extra" events from VO to
player. Use it to notify the core of window resizes, which in turn will
be used to mark all affected properties ("window-scale" in this case) as
changed.
(I refrained from hacking this as internal command into input_ctx, or to
poll the state change, etc. - but in the end, maybe it would be best to
actually pass the client API context directly to the places where events
can happen.)
Follow up on commit 760548da. Mouse handling is a bit confusing, because
there are at least 3 coordinate systems associated with it, and it
should be cleaned up. But that is hard, so just apply a hack which gets
the currently-annoying issue (VO backends needing access to the VO) out
of the way.
VO backends which are or will run in their own thread have a problem
with vo_mouse_movement() calling vo_control(). Restrict this to VOs
which actually need this.
With the change to merge osd drawing into video frame drawing, some
bogus logic got in: they skipped drawing the OSD if no video frame is
available. This broke --no-video --force-window mode.
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.

Let the VOs draw the OSD on their own, instead of making OSD drawing a
separate VO driver call. Further, let it be the VOs responsibility to
request subtitles with the correct PTS. We also basically allow the VO
to request OSD/subtitles at any time.
OSX changes untested.
This affects packed RGB formats up to 16 bits per pixel. The old mplayer
names used LSB-to-MSB order, while FFmpeg (and some other libraries) use
MSB-to-LSB.
Nothing should change with this commit, i.e. no bit order or endian bugs
should be added or fixed. In some cases, the name stays the same, even
though the byte order changes, e.g. RGB8->BGR8 and BGR8->RGB8, and this
affects the user-visible names too; this might cause confusion.
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.
Do two things:
1. add locking to struct osd_state
2. make struct osd_state opaque
While 1. is somewhat simple, 2. is quite horrible. Lots of code accesses
lots of osd_state (and osd_object) members. To make sure everything is
accessed synchronously, I prefer making osd_state opaque, even if it
means adding pretty dumb accessors.
All of this is meant to allow running VO in their own threads.
Eventually, VOs will request OSD on their own, which means osd_state
will be accessed from foreign threads.
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 configure followed 5 different convetions of defines because the next guy
always wanted to introduce a new better way to uniform it[1]. For an
hypothetic feature 'hurr' you could have had:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #undef CONFIG_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #define HAVE_DURR 0
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #define CONFIG_DURR 0
All is now uniform and uses:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1
* #define HAVE_DURR 0
We like definining to 0 as opposed to `undef` bcause it can help spot typos
and is very helpful when doing big reorganizations in the code.

Before, a VO could easily refuse to respond to VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME,
which means the VO wouldn't redraw OSD and window contents, and the
player would appear frozen to the user. This was a bit stupid, and makes
dealing with some corner cases much harder (think of --keep-open, which
was hard to implement, because the VO gets into this state if there are
no new video frames after a seek reset).
Change this, and require VOs to always react to VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME.
There are two aspects of this: First, behavior after a (successful)
vo_reconfig() call, but before any video frame has been displayed.
Second, behavior after a vo_seek_reset().
For the first issue, we define that sending VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME after
vo_reconfig() should clear the window with black. This requires minor
changes to some VOs. In particular vaapi makes this horribly
complicated, because OSD rendering is bound to a video surface. We
create a black dummy surface for this purpose.
The second issue is much simpler and works already with most VOs: they
simply redraw whatever has been uploaded previously. The exception is
vdpau, which has a complicated mechanism to track and filter video
frames. The state associated with this mechanism is completely cleared
with vo_seek_reset(), so implementing this to work as expected is not
trivial. For now, we just clear the window with black.
vo_x11 had a clever trick to implement a video equalizer: it requested a
DirectColor visual. This is a X11 mechanism which allows you to specify
a lookup table for each color channel. Effectively, this is a safe
override for the graphic card's gamma ramp. If X thinks the window
deserves priority over other windows in the system, X would temporarily
switch the gamma ramp so that DirectColor visuals can be displayed as
the application intends. (I'm not sure what the exact policy is, but in
practice, this meant the equalizer worked when the mouse button was
inside the window.)
But all in all, this is just lots of useless code for a feature that is
rarely ever useful. Remove it and use the libswscale equalizer instead.
(This comes without a cost, since vo_x11 already uses libswscale.)
One worry was that using DirectColor could have made it work better in
8-bit paletted mode. But this is not the case: there's no difference,
and in both cases, the video looks equally bad.
This affects VOs which just reuse the mp_image from draw_image() to
return screenshots. The aspect of these images is never different
from the aspect the screenshots should be, so there's no reason to
adjust the aspect in these cases.
Other VOs still need it in order to restore the original image
attributes.
This requires some changes to the video filter code to make sure that
the aspect in the passed mp_images is consistent.
The changes in mplayer.c and vd_lavc.c are (probably) not strictly
needed for this commit, but contribute to consistency.
