Make some existing properties behave more like options. This mostly
means they don't deny access if the associated component is not active,
but redirects to the option.
One kind of fishy change is that we apply --brightness etc. only if
they're not set to the default value. This won't necessarily work with
--vo=xv, but affects only cases where 1. the Xv adapter has been changed
to non-defaults, and 2. the user tries to reset them with mpv by passing
e.g. --brightness=0. We don't care about Xv, and the noted use-case is
dumb, so this change is acceptable.
These conflict with options of the same name, and prevent a "full"
unification. Not addressed is the "cache" property, and possibly a few
properties that behave differently from their equivalent options.
Now options are accessible through the property list as well, which
unifies them to a degree.
Not all options support runtime changes (meaning affected components
need to be restarted for the options to take effects). Remove from the
manpage those properties which are cleanly mapped to options anyway.
From the user-perspective they're just options available through the
property interface.
Positional parameters cause problems because they can be ambiguous with
flag options. If a flag option is removed or turned into a non-flag
option, it'll usually be interpreted as value for the first sub-option
(as positional parameter), resulting in very confusing error messages.
This changes it into a simple "option not found" error.
I don't expect that anyone really used positional parameters with --vo
or --ao. Although the docs for --ao=pulse seem to encourage positional
parameters for the host/sink options, which means it could possibly
annoy some PulseAudio users.
--vf and --af are still mostly used with positional parameters, so this
must be a configurable option in the option parser.
Instead, add a hacky OPT_ASPECT option type, which only exists to accept
a "no" parameter, which in combination with the "--no-..." handling code
makes --no-video-aspect work again.
We can also remove the code in m_config.c, which only existed to make
"--no-aspect" (a deprecated alias) to work.
The client API can do this (and there are apparently some libmpv using
projects which rely on this). But it's just unnecessary bloat as it
requires a separate code path from the option parser. It would be better
to remove this code. Formally deprecate it, including API bump and
warning in the API changes file to make it really clear.
Normally, OSD can be disabled with --osd-level=0. But this also disables
terminal OSD, and some users want _only_ the terminal OSD. Add
--video-osd=no, which essentially disables the video OSD.
Ideally, it should probably be possible to control terminal and video
OSD levels independently, but that would require separate OSD timers
(and other state) for both components, so don't do it. But because the
current situation isn't too ideal, add a threat to the manpage that
might be changed in the future.
Fixes#3387.
The --image-display-duration option controls how long an image is
displayed. It's also possible to display the image forever (until manual
user interaction stops playback).
With this, the core drops the old method to "drain" video (i.e. waiting
for the last frame duration on end of playback). Instead, we reuse
MPContext.time_frame. The old mechanism was disabled for non-images
anyway.
Fixes#3425.
This commit adds an --audio-channel=auto-safe mode, and makes it the
default. This mode behaves like "auto" with most AOs, except with
ao_alsa. The intention is to allow multichannel output by default on
sane APIs. ALSA is not sane as in it's so low level that it will e.g.
configure any layout over HDMI, even if the connected A/V receiver does
not support it. The HDMI fuckup is of course not ALSA's fault, but other
audio APIs normally isolate applications from dealing with this and
require the user to globally configure the correct output layout.
This will help with other AOs too. ao_lavc (encoding) is changed to the
new semantics as well, because it used to force stereo (perhaps because
encoding mode is supposed to produce safe files for crap devices?).
Exclusive mode output on Windows might need to be adjusted accordingly,
as it grants the same kind of low level access as ALSA (requires more
research).
In addition to the things mentioned above, the --audio-channels option
is extended to accept a set of channel layouts. This is supposed to be
the correct way to configure mpv ALSA multichannel output. You need to
put a list of channel layouts that your A/V receiver supports.
This requires changing the pixel upload alignment because the odd sizes
might not be aligned to multiples of 4.
Anyway, the restriction has no real benefit and the sizes in between 32
and 64 might be worth using, so just drop it.
Following testing after ebe798a, this is a more than sufficient size to
cover our use case.
The old default was a drop of about 58 dB PSNR using the old code, and
this new default is about 65 dB PSNR, so it's actually an improvement
despite resulting in a smaller size.
There was no outlier whatsoever when comparing sizes around the 64
neighbourhood (with every step corresponding to a PSNR drop of about
0.07 dB), so I picked this since it's a power of two and requires no
change to the current 3dlut-size parsing logic.
I also tested smaller sizes such as 32x32x32 which performed almost as
well on colorful samples, but this results in noticeable black boost in
the dark regions, which is pretty undesirable. Therefore, we should
avoid going much further below 64x64x64.
Either way, this new size is so fast to compute that the 3dlut cache is
almost useless on my end. In fact, it might even be slower to load the
profile from the cache than to recompute it from scratch. (For caches on
a disk. For cache on a tmpfs, it makes no difference)
mixer.c didn't really deserve to be separate anymore, as half of its
contents were unnecessary glue code after recent changes. It also
created a weird split between audio.c and af.c due to the fact that
mixer.c could insert audio filters. With the code being in audio.c
directly, together with other code that unserts filters during runtime,
it will be possible to cleanup this code a bit and make it work like the
video filter code.
As part of this change, make the balance code work like the volume code,
and add an option to back the current balance value. Also, since the
balance semantics are unexpected for most users (panning between the
audio channels, instead of just changing the relative volume), and there
are some other volumes, formally deprecate both the old property and the
new option.
Old-style commands using _ as separator (e.g. show_progress) were still
used in some places, including documentation and configuration files.
This commit updates all such instances to the new style (show-progress)
so that commands are easier to find in the manual.
Since it turns out that knowing what exactly a file was tagged with can
be useful for debugging purposes, expose this as a property so I can
check it more easily.
This is mostly useful for sig-peak (since nom-peak is currently entirely
calculated by us), but I added both for consistency.
Drop the code for switching the volume options and properties between
af_volume and AO volume controls. interface-changes.rst mentions the
changes in detail.
Do this because this was exceedingly complex and had other problems as
well. It was also very hard to test. It's just not worth the trouble.
Some leftovers like AOCONTROL_HAS_PER_APP_VOLUME will be removed at a
later point.
Fixes#3322.
Working towards refcounted sub images, and also for removing bitmap
packers from VOs.
I'm not sure why we even have this overlay-add command. It was sort of
"needed" before opengl-cb was introduced, and before Lua scripts could
put ASS drawings on OSD without conflicting with the OSC. But now trying
to use it doesn't make too much sense anymore.
Still keep it because we're trying to be nice, but throw performance out
of the window. Now image data is copied 2 more times before displaying
it. This also makes using the command a bit simpler.
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.
Most devices seems to require special signalling (e.g. via HDMI
metadata) to actually decode HDR signals and treat them as such, so it's
probably worth warning the potential user about the fact that mpv pretty
definitely does *not* set any of this metadata signalling.
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.
Until now, we've always converted vdpau video surfaces to RGB, and then
mapped the resulting RGB texture. Change this so that the surface is
mapped as NV12 plane textures.
The reason this wasn't done until now is because vdpau surfaces are
mapped in an "interlaced" way as separate fields, even for progressive
video. This requires messy reinterleraving. It turns out that even
though it's an extra processing step, the result can be faster than
going through the video mixer for RGB conversion.
Other than some potential speed-gain, doing this has multiple other
advantages. We can apply our own color conversion, which is important in
more complex cases. We can correctly apply debanding and potentially
other processing that requires chroma-specific or in-YUV handling.
If deinterlacing is enabled, this switches back to the old RGB
conversion method. Until we have at least a primitive deinterlacer in
vo_opengl, this will stay this way. The d3d11 and vaapi code paths are
similar. (Of course these don't require any crazy field reinterleaving.)
Instead of having 9 different properties, requiring 18 different
VOCTRLs to read them all, they are now exposed as a single property.
This is not only cleaner (since they're all together) but also allows
querying all 9 of them with only a single VOCTRL (by using
mp.get_property_native).
(The extra factor of 2 was due to an extra query being needed to get the
type, which is now also unnecessary)
This makes it much easier to access performance metrics from within a
lua script, and also makes it easier to just show a readable, formatted
version via show-text.
User hooks can now use an extra WHEN expression to specify when the
shader should be run. For example, this can be used to only run a chroma
scaling shader `WHEN CHROMA.w LUMA.w <`.
There's a slight semantics change to user shaders: When trying to bind a
texture that does not exist, a shader will now be silently skipped
(similar to when the condition is false) instead of generating an error.
This allows shader stages to depend on an optional earlier stage without
having to copy/paste the same condition everywhere.
(In other words: there's an implicit condition on all of the bound
textures existing)
This is plumbed through a new VOCTRL, VOCTRL_PERFORMANCE_DATA, and
exposed as properties render-time-last, render-time-avg etc.
All of these numbers are in microseconds, which gives a good precision
range when just outputting them via show-text. (Lua scripts can
obviously still do their own formatting etc.)
Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>
This algorithm works really well. Setting it is a much better
"out-of-the-box" experience than just clipping, which will always look
ugly.
In other words, with this default, users of mpv will just be able to
play HDR content without even realizing it's HDR (pretty much).
Instead of doing HDR tone mapping on an ad-hoc basis inside
pass_colormanage, the reference peak of an image is now part of the
image params (alongside colorspace, gamma, etc.) and tone mapping is
done whenever peak_src != peak_dst.
To get sensible behavior when mixing HDR and SDR content and displays,
target-brightness is a generic filler for "the assumed brightness of SDR
content".
This gets rid of the weird display_scaled hack, sets the framework
for multiple HDR functions with difference reference peaks, and allows
us to (in a future commit) autodetect the right source peak from
the HDR metadata.
(Apart from metadata, the source peak can also be controlled via
vf_format. For HDR content this adjusts the overall image brightness,
for SDR content it's like simulating a different exposure)
Main use: deinterlacing.
I'm not sure how to select the deinterlacing mode at all. You can
enumate the available video processors, but at least on Intel, all of
them either signal support for all deinterlacers, or none (the latter is
apparently used for IVTC). I haven't found anything that actually tells
the processor _which_ algorithm to use.
Another strange detail is how to select top/bottom fields and field
dominance. At least I'm getting quite similar results to vavpp on Linux,
so I'm content with it for now.
Future plans include removing the D3D11 video processor use from the
ANGLE interop code.
This has often been requested for use on OSD. I don't really like having
such "special" properties, but whatever. Hopefully this will be the only
case.
Untested because I'm too damn lazy.
Fixes#2828.
Remove the opengl-hq option default that caused it not to autoselect
ANGLE (unlike --vo=opengl). Details see commit d5df90a2.
Back then the intention was to use ANGLE by default, since it integrates
much nicer with the Windows compositor (instead of native OpenGL, which
tends to cause crazy glitches). On the other hand, many opengl-hq
capabilities are not available with older ANGLE builds, so it didn't
make any sense to autoselect ANGLE for it.
With the GL_EXT_texture_norm16 extension recently added to ANGLE, it has
essentially reached feature parity to desktop GL for the subset we are
using. (Even the integer texture hack for high bit depth input could be
dropped now.)
It (probably) still does not support nnedi3, due to the weird way the NN
coefficients are imported. Also, it uses half-floats instead of 16 bit
fixed-point textures for technical reasons, which implies about 5 bits
of precision loss. If anyone actually manages to distinguish the two
dithering texture formats in a double-blind test, I will fix it.
Following commit 84ccebd9, the internal helpers don't allow GL_RGB and
GL_RGBA as internal formats for FBO attachments anymore.
While OpenGL itself is perfectly fine with it, I don't see much of a
reason to bother, and mixing sized and unsized internal formats is
confusing anyway.
Just remove these formats.
This is now a configurable option, with tunable parameters.
I got inspiration for these algorithms off wikipedia. "simple" seems to
work pretty well, but not well enough to make it a reasonable default.
Some other notable candidates:
- Local functions (e.g. based on local contrast or gradient)
- Clamp with soft knee (linear up to a point)
- Mapping in CIE L*Ch. Map L smoothly, clamp C and h.
- Color appearance models
These will have to be implemented some other time.
Note that the parameter "peak_src" to pass_tone_map should, in
principle, be auto-detected from the SEI information of the source file
where available. This will also have to be implemented in a later
commit.
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 macro takes care of rotation, swizzling, integer conversion and
normalization automatically. I found the performance impact to be
nonexistant for superxbr and debanding, although rotation *did* have an
impact due to the extra matrix multiplication. (So it gets skipped where
possible)
All of the internal hooks have been rewritten to use this new mechanism,
and the prescaler hooks have finally been separated from each other.
This also means the prescale FBO kludge is no longer required.
This fixes image corruption for image formats like 0bgr, and also fixes
prescaling under rotation. (As well as other user hooks that have
orientation-dependent access)
The "raw" attributes (tex, tex_pos, pixel_size) are still un-rotated, in
case something needs them, but ideally the hooks should be rewritten to
use the new API as much as possible. The hooked texture has been renamed
from just NAME to NAME_raw to make script authors notice the change (and
also deemphasize direct texture access).
This is also a step towards getting rid of the use_integer pass.
This replaces the previous TRANSFORM by WIDTH, HEIGHT and OFFSET where
WIDTH and HEIGHT are RPN expressions. This allows for more fine-grained
control over the output size, and also makes sure that overwriting
existing textures works more cleanly.
(Also add some more useful bstr functions)
This allows users to add their own near-arbitrary hooks to the vo_opengl
processing pipeline, greatly enhancing the flexibility of user shaders.
This enables, among other things, user shaders such as CrossBilateral,
SuperRes, LumaSharpen and many more.
To make parsing the user shaders easier, shaders are now loaded as
bstrs, and the hooks are set up during video reconfig instead of on
every single frame.
This uses the normal autoprobing rules like "auto", but rejects anything
that isn't flagged as copying data back to system memory.
The chunk in command.c was dead code, so remove it instead of updating
it.
Add --taskbar-progress command line option and property which controls taskbar
progress indication rendering in Windows 7+. This option is on by default and
can be toggled during playback.
This option does not affect the creation process of ITaskbarList3. When the
option is turned off the progress bar is just hidden with TBPF_NOPROGRESS.
Closes#2535
Some of this documentation was left woefully inaccurate as color
management in mpv evolved. This commit updates all of the wording and
adds notes and comments where appropriate.
Introduce hwdec-current and hwdec-interop properties.
Deprecate hwdec-detected, which never made a lot of sense, and which is
replaced by the new properties. hwdec-active also becomes useless, as
hwdec-current is a superset, so it's deprecated too (for now).
First of all, black point compensation is now on by default. This is
really rather harmless and only improves the result (where "improvement"
means "less black clipping").
Second, this adds an option to limit the ICC profile's contrast, which
helps for untagged matrix profiles that are implicitly black scaled even
in colorimetric intent. (Note that this relies on BPC being enabled to
work properly, which is why the two changes are tied together)
Third, this uses the LittleCMS built in black point estimator instead of
relying on the presence of accurate A2B tables. This also checks tags
and does some amounts of noise elimination.
If the option is unspecified and the profile is missing black point
information, print a warning instructing the user to set the option, and
fall back to 1000 otherwise.
Flag that is set by default. Reseting it will result in mpv trying to fit
client area with video instead of the whole window with border and
decorations on the screen.
Marked as (Windows only) for now until it's implemented on other platforms.
--sub-ass=no / --ass=no still work, but --ass-style-override=strip is
preferred now. With this change, --ass-style-override can control all
the types of style overriding.
This gives us 16 bit fixed-point integer texture formats, including
ability to sample from them with linear filtering, and using them as FBO
attachments.
The integer texture format path is still there for the sake of ANGLE,
which does not support GL_EXT_texture_norm16 yet.
The change to pass_dither() is needed, because the code path using
GL_R16 for the dither texture relies on glTexImage2D being able to
convert from GL_FLOAT to GL_R16. GLES does not allow this. This could be
trivially fixed by doing the conversion ourselves, but I'm too lazy to
do this now.
This uses ID3D11VideoProcessor to convert the video to a RGBA surface,
which is then bound to ANGLE. Currently ANGLE does not provide any way
to bind nv12 surfaces directly, so this will have to do.
ID3D11VideoContext1 would give us slightly more control about the
colorspace conversion, though it's still not good, and not available
in MinGW headers yet.
The video processor is created lazily, because we need to have the coded
frame size, of which AVFrame and mp_image have no concept of. Doing the
creation lazily is less of a pain than somehow hacking the coded frame
size into mp_image.
I'm not really sure how ID3D11VideoProcessorInputView is supposed to
work. We recreate it on every frame, which is simple and hopefully
doesn't affect performance.
Commit 382bafcb changed the behavior for ab-loop-a. This commit changes
ab-loop-b so that the behavior is symmetric.
Adjust the OSD rendering accordingly to the two changes.
Also fix mentions of the "ab_loop" command to the now preferred
"ab-loop".
In the past, --video-unscaled also disabled zooming and aspect ratio
corrections. But this didn't make much sense in terms of being a useful
option. The new behavior just sets the initial video size to be
unscaled, but it's still affected by zoom commands and aspect ratio
corrections.
To get the old behavior back, --video-aspect=0 --video-zoom=0 need to be
added as well (in the general case). Most of the time it should not make
a difference though.
Also, there seems to have been some additional dst_rect clamping code
inside src_dst_split_scaling that didn't seem to either be necessary nor
ever get triggered. (The code immediately above it already makes sure to
crop the video if it's larger than the dst_rect)
No idea why it was there, but I just removed it.
It's pretty "unfriendly" and causes too many issues. (Probably. At least
they're more obvious to a user than e.g. broken frame timing.)
Potentially we could apply heuristics like applying this only on
fullscreen, but let's not. It's up to the user to configure this to
get best results.
Fixes#2997.
The past behavior was a bit weird, especially when zooming out. There
was no simple way to zoom in or out in consistent increments using
keybindings alone.
The new behavior preserves most of the old behavior's semantics but
scales out to infinity better. It coincidentally also makes it
really easy to get clean power of 2 ratios (e.g. 2x, 4x, 8x and their
inverses).
Fixes#3004.
This commit adds the d3d11va-copy hwdec mode using the ffmpeg d3d11va
api. Functions in common with dxva2 are handled in a separate decode/d3d.c
file. A future commit will rewrite decode/dxva2.c to share this code.
Should reflect I/O speed.
This could go into the terminal status line. But I'm not sure how to put
it there, since it already uses too much space, so it's not there yet.
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.
This changes behavior somewhat. The old behavior can be restored by
running "mp.use_suspend=true". It was originally introduced for the OSC,
but I can't reproduce whatever misbehavior I was seeing.
(See mp.suspend()/resume() for explanations what the suspend mechanism
does.)
Changing the byte stream position without cooperation of the demuxer
seems a bit insane, and is certainly useless. A user should do factor
seeks instead. For formats like ts, this will actually translate to byte
seeks, while treating the rest of the playback chain a bit more
gracefully. With this argument, remove write access to this property.
If someone really complains, proper byte seeks could be added as seek
mode (although I'm going to need a convincing argument for this).
Read access changes too, but in a more subtle way.
Since prescale now literally only affects the luma plane (and the
filters are all designed for luma-only operation either way), the option
has been renamed and the documentation updated to clarify this.
Was only available via --vd=help and --ad=help (i.e. not at all via
client API). Not bothering with separating audio and video codecs, since
this list isn't all that useful anyway in general. If someone complains,
a type field could be added.
Export a number of container fields, which may or may not be useful in
some scenarios. They are explicitly marked as originating from the
demuxer, in order to make it explicit that they might be unreliable.
I'd actually like to remove all other cases where container information
is exported, but those numerous cases are going to be somewhat hard to
deprecate.
Also, not directly related, export the description of the currently
active decoder. (This has been requested before.)
Adds always-on mode by internally utilizing hidetimeout as negative and
forbidding the user to set negative values.
This removes script-message to enable/disable the osc, and instead introduces a
combined 'visibility' control with the values never/auto/always.
It's available via script_opts and script_message as 'osc-visibility'.
As message, it also supports a 'cycle' value.
The del key is bound to cycling the visibility modes.
See --lavfi-complex option.
This is still quite rough. There's no support for dynamic configuration
of any kind. There are probably corner cases where playback might freeze
or burn 100% CPU (due to dataflow problems when interaction with
libavfilter).
Future possible plans might include:
- freely switch tracks by providing some sort of default track graph
label
- automatically enabling audio visualization
- automatically mix audio or stack video when multiple tracks are
selected at once (similar to how multiple sub tracks can be selected)
GLES does not support high bit depth fixed point textures for unknown
reasons, so direct 10 bit input is not possible. But we can still use
integer textures, which are supported by GLES 3.0. These store integer
data just like the standard fixed point textures, except they are not
normalized on sampling. They also don't support bilinear filtering, and
require a special sampler ("usampler2D").
While these texture formats enable us to shuffle the data to the GPU,
they're rather impractical with the requirements mentioned above and our
current architecture. One problem is that most code assumes it can
always use bilinear scaling (even if bilinear is never used when using
appropriate scale/cscale options). Another is that we don't have any
concept of running a function on a texture in an uniform way.
So for now, run a simple conversion step through a FBO. The FBO will use
the rgba16f format normally, which gives enough bits for 10 bit, and
will at least gracefully degrade with higher depth input.
This is bound to be much slower than a more "direct" method, but at
least it works and is simple to implement.
The odd change of function call order in init_video() is to properly
disable "dumb mode" (no FBO use) if these texture formats are in use.
This seems generally easier when using libmpv (and was already requested
and implemented before: see commit 327a779a; it was reverted some time
later).
With the weird internal logic we have to deal with, in particular the
--softvol=no case (using system volume), and using the audio API's mixer
(--softvol=auto on some systems), we still can't avoid all glitches and
corner cases that complicate this issue so much. The API user is either
recommended to use --softvol=yes or auto, or to watch the new
mixer-active property, and assume the volume/mute properties have
significant values if the mixer is active.
Remaining glitches:
- changing the volume/mute properties has no effect if no internal mixer
is used (--softvol=no) and the mixer is not active; the actual mixer
controls do not change, only the property values
- --volume/--mute do not have an effect on the volume/mute properties
before mixer initialization (the options strictly are only applied
during mixer init)
- volume-max is 100 while the mixer is not active
Often requested. The main argument, that prominent scalers like sharpen
change the image even if no scaling happens, disappeared anyway.
("sharpen", unsharp masking, is neither prominent nor a scaler anymore.
This is an artifact from MPlayer, which fuses unsharp masking with
bilinear scaling in order to make it single-pass, or so.)
This is probably the 3rd time the user-visible behavior changes. This
time, switch back because not normalizing seems to be the more expected
behavior from users.
Too many problems. Well, actually it's just Linux audio systems which
cause problems, and exclusive audio access on other platforms.
In any case, it seems you have to do some manual configuration if you
want multichannel audio output.
Since the streams are chosen from the full TS by the player frontend,
one should not expect that the program which is shown matches the chosen
channel which was used for tuning to the frequency.
Also, reformulate slightly to simplify reading.
Windows definitely supports Unix-style fd inheritance. This mostly
worked when launched from mpv.exe, though mpv should change the file
mode to O_BINARY. When launched from mpv.com, the wrapper must pass the
list of handles (stored in the undocumented lpReserved2 and cbReserved2
fields) to the mpv process.
It existed for XP-compatibility only. There was also a time where
ao_wasapi caused issues, but we're relatively confident that ao_wasapi
works better or at least as good as ao_dsound on Windows Vista and
later.
Always preroll by default if the cue (index) information indicates
overlapping subtitles.
Increase the amount of maximum data it will skip to get such subtitles
to 10 seconds. Since the index information can reliably tell whether
reading earlier is needed, the maximum should be rarely actually used,
thus we can set it high. On the other hand, the "old" prerolling
mechanism always has to skip the maximum amount of data; thus the method
using the index gets its own option to control the maximum amount of
data to skip.
(As more and more files With newer mkvtoolnix versions are muxed, and
with this new and hopefully sane default established, these options can
probably be removed in the future.)
Requested. It works like --sub-paths. This will also load audio files
from a "audio" sub directory in the config file (because the same code
as for subtitles is used, and it also had such a feature).
Fixes#2632.
The "script-binding" command is used by the Lua scripting wrapper to
register key bindings on the fly. It's also the only way to get fine-
grained information about key events (such as separate key up/down
events). This information is sent via a "key-binding" message when the
state of a key changes.
Extend it to send name of the mapped key itself. Previously, it was
assumed that the user just uses an unique identifier for the binding's
name, so it wasn't needed. With this change, a user can map exactly the
same command to multiple keys, which is useful especially with the next
commit.
Part of #2612.
Add a "blend-tiles" choice to the "alpha" sub-option. This is pretty
simplistic and uses the GL raster position to derive the tiles. A weird
consequence is that using --vo=opengl and --vo=opengl-hq gives different
scaling behavior (screenspace pixel size vs. source video pixel size
16x16 tiles), but it seems we don't have easy access to the original
texture coordinates. Using the rasterpos is probably simpler.
Make this option the default.
This is for the sake of command.c and the "deinterlace" option/property.
Instead of forcing certain "better" defaults when inserting yadif,
change the actual "yadif" defaults.
I pondered not changing vf_yadif, and instead adding a trivial "yadif-
auto" wrapper filter, which would merely have different defaults. But
thinking about it, it doesn't make any sense for "deinterlace" to have
different defaults from vf_yadif, with vf_yadif having the "worse"
defaults. If someone wants the old behavior, the old behavior can be
forced in a backward and forward compatible way by setting the
suboptions.
Fixes#2539 (kind of).
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).
WGL_NV_DX_interop is widely supported by Nvidia and AMD drivers. It
allows a texture to be shared between Direct3D and WGL, so that
rendering can be done with WGL and presentation can be done with
Direct3D. This should allow us to work around some persistent WGL
issues, such as dropped frames with some driver/OS combos, drivers that
buffer frames to increase performance at the cost of latency, and the
inability to disable exclusive fullscreen mode when using WGL to render
to a fullscreen window.
The addition of a DX_interop backend might also enable some cool
Direct3D-specific enhancements in the future, such as using the
GetPresentStatistics API to get accurate frame presentation timestamps.
Note that due to a driver bug, this backend is currently broken on
Intel. It will appear to work as long as the window is not resized too
often, but after a few changes of size it will be unable to share the
newly created renderbuffer with GL. See:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/graphics-driver-bug-reporting/topic/562051
This is only for specific Hauppage cards. According to the comments in
who is actively using this feature. Get it out of the way.
Anyone who still wants to use this should complain. Keeping this code
would not cause terribly much additional work, and it could be restored
again. (But not if the request comes months later.)
It turns out that with accurate lookup we can decrease the
default size of texture now. Do it to compensate the performance
loss introduced by the LUT_POS macro.
This adds basic support for ICC profiles. Per-monitor profiles are
supported. WCS profiles are not supported, but there is an API for
converting WCS profiles to ICC, so they might be supported in future.
I'm just not sure if anyone actually uses them.
Reloading the ICC profile when it's changed in the control panel is also
not supported. This might be possible by using the WCS APIs and watching
the registry for changes, but there is no official API for it, and as
far as I can tell, no other Windows programs can do it.
This logic was kind of questionable anyway, and --display-sync should
give much better results. (I would even go as far as saying that the
FPS-dependent framedrop code made things worse in some situations. Not
all, though.)
This is simply the average refresh rate. Including "bad" samples is
actually an advantage, because the property exists only for
informational purposes, and will reflect problems such as the driver
skipping a vsync.
Also export the standard deviation of the vsync frame duration
(normalized to the range 0-1) as vsync-jitter property.
The OSD takes up an entire fullscreen dispmanx layer. Although the GPU
should be able to handle it (possibly even without any disadvantages),
it'll still be useful for debugging performance issues.
Running mpv with default config will now pick up ANGLE by default. Since
some think ANGLE is still not good enough for hq features, extend the
"es" option to reject GLES backends, and add to to the opengl-hq preset.
One consequence is that mpv will by default use libswscale to convert
10 bit video to 8 bit, before it reaches the VO.
I decided that I actually can't stand how vo_opengl unnecessarily puts
the video through 3 shader stages (instead of 1). Thus, what was meant
to be a fallback for weak OpenGL implementations, the dumb-mode, now
becomes default if the user settings allow it.
The code required to check for the settings isn't so wild, so I guess
it's manageable. I still hope that one day, our rendering logic can
generate ideal shader stages for this case too.
Note that in theory, dumb-mode could be reenabled at runtime due to a
color management 3D LUT being set, so a separate dumb_mode field is
required. The dumb-mode option can't just be overwritten.
Most of this is explained in the DOCS additions.
This gives us slightly more sanity, because there is less interaction
between the various parts. The goal is getting rid of the video_offset
entirely.
The simplification extends to the user API. In particular, we don't need
to fix missing parts in the API, such as the lack for a seek command
that seeks relatively to the start time. All these things are now
transparent.
(If someone really wants to know the real timestamps/start time, new
properties would have to be added.)
This is very "illustrative", unlike the video-speed-correction
property, and thus useful. It can also be used to observe scheduling
errors, which are not detected by the core. (These happen due to
rounding errors; possibly not evne our fault, but coming from
files with rounded timestamps and so on.)
"Missed" implies the frame was dropped, but what really happens is that
the following frame will be shown later than intended (due to the
current frame skipping a vsync).
(As of this commit, this property is still inactive and always
returns 0. See git blame for details.)
Apparently Windows treats windows that use OpenGL, cover an entire
screen and have the WS_POPUP style set or are topmost windows as
exclusive fullscreen windows that bypass DWM and cannot be covered
by other windows.
This means we can’t use dwmflush in fullscreen mode, and it also
means that no other window can cover mpv, and it makes the screen
flicker when switching to fullscreen mode.
This can be avoided by not setting the WS_POPUP flag.
Users can still access the old behavior by enabling stay-on-top
(which IMO at least makes sense—now we just need to get dwmflush
autodetection right to avoid nasty surprises).
fixes#2177
vo_opengl_cb is a special case, because we somehow have to render video
asynchronously, all while "trusting" the API user to do it correctly.
This didn't quite work, and a while ago a compromise using a timeout to
prevent theoretically possible deadlocks was added.
Make it even more synchronous. Basically, go all the way, and
synchronize rendering between VO and user renderer thread to the
full extent possible.
This means the silly frame queue is dropped, and we event attempt to
synchronize the GL SwapBuffer call (via mpv_opengl_cb_report_flip()).
The changes introduced with commit dc33eb56 are effectively dropped. I
don't even remember if they mattered.
In the future, we might make all VOs fetch asynchronously from a frame
queue, which would mostly remove the differences between vo_opengl and
vo_opengl_cb, but this will take a while (if it will even be done).
Has the same function as setting the option.
This commit changes the property in a bunch of other ways. For example
if the VO is not created, it will return the option value.
The examples demonstrates use with optical media, which is far from
mpv's main purpose.
The authors section is a leftover from MPlayer times. There are enough
other places which reiterate how mpv is based on mplayer2/MPlayer,
copyright statements, and so on.
Hint that the linked section contains information for Windows. (Well,
that's a lie, but it has a link to the Windows section.)
Avoid implying that lines in the config file end with ';'. Also, the <>
are probably just confusing.
Notes:
- Unfortunately the only way to talk to EGL from within DRM I could find
involves linking with GBM (generic buffer management for Mesa.)
Because of this, I'm pretty sure it won't work with proprietary NVidia
drivers, but then again, last time I checked NVidia didn't offer
proper screen resolution for VT.
- VT switching doesn't seem to work at all. It's worth mentioning that
using vo_drm before introduction of VT switcher had an anomaly where
user could switch to another VT and input text to it, while video
played on top of that VT. However, that isn't the case with drm_egl:
I can't switch to other VT during playback like this. This makes me
think that it's either a limitation coming from my firmware or from
EGL/KMS itself rather than a bug with my code. Nonetheless, I still
left (untestable) VT switching code in place, in case it's useful to
someone else.
- The mode_id, connector_id and device_path should be configurable for
power users and people who wish to watch videos on nonprimary screen.
Unfortunately I didn't see anything that would allow OpenGL backends
to register their own set of options. At the same time, adding them to
global namespace is pointless.
- A few dozens of lines could be shared with vo_drm (setting up VT
switching, most of code behind page flipping). I don't have any strong
opinion on this.
- Sometimes I get minor visual glitches. I'm not sure if there's a race
condition of some sort, unitialized variable (doubtful), or if it's
buggy driver. (I'm using integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 with Mesa)
- .config and .control are very minimal.

While it seemed like a pretty good idea at first, it's just a dead end
and works only in the simplest cases. While it may or may not help
slightly with audio sync mode, the display-sync mode already compensates
this in a better way. The main issue is that timestamps at this layer
are not in order, so it can look at single timestamps only.
Implement NNEDI3, a neural network based deinterlacer.
The shader is reimplemented in GLSL and supports both 8x4 and 8x6
sampling window now. This allows the shader to be licensed
under LGPL2.1 so that it can be used in mpv.
The current implementation supports uploading the NN weights (up to
51kb with placebo setting) in two different way, via uniform buffer
object or hard coding into shader source. UBO requires OpenGL 3.1,
which only guarantee 16kb per block. But I find that 64kb seems to be
a default setting for recent card/driver (which nnedi3 is targeting),
so I think we're fine here (with default nnedi3 setting the size of
weights is 9kb). Hard-coding into shader requires OpenGL 3.3, for the
"intBitsToFloat()" built-in function. This is necessary to precisely
represent these weights in GLSL. I tried several human readable
floating point number format (with really high precision as for
single precision float), but for some reason they are not working
nicely, bad pixels (with NaN value) could be produced with some
weights set.
We could also add support to upload these weights with texture, just
for compatibility reason (etc. upscaling a still image with a low end
graphics card). But as I tested, it's rather slow even with 1D
texture (we probably had to use 2D texture due to dimension size
limitation). Since there is always better choice to do NNEDI3
upscaling for still image (vapoursynth plugin), it's not implemented
in this commit. If this turns out to be a popular demand from the
user, it should be easy to add it later.
For those who wants to optimize the performance a bit further, the
bottleneck seems to be:
1. overhead to upload and access these weights, (in particular,
the shader code will be regenerated for each frame, it's on CPU
though).
2. "dot()" performance in the main loop.
3. "exp()" performance in the main loop, there are various fast
implementation with some bit tricks (probably with the help of the
intBitsToFloat function).
The code is tested with nvidia card and driver (355.11), on Linux.
Closes#2230
Add the Super-xBR filter for image doubling, and the prescaling framework
to support it.
The shader code was ported from MPDN extensions project, with
modification to process luma only.
This commit is largely inspired by code from #2266, with
`gl_transform_trans()` authored by @haasn taken directly.
A hw decoder might fail to decode a frame for multiple reasons, and not
always just because decoding is impossible. We can't generally
distinguish these reasons well. Make it more tolerant by accepting
failures of 3 frames, but not more. The threshold can be adjusted by the
repurposed --vd-lavc-software-fallback option.
(This behavior was suggested much earlier in some PR, but at the time
the "proper" hwdec fallback was indistinguishable from decoding error.
With the current situation, "proper" fallback is still instantious.)
Enable it by default, but not unconditionally. Add an "auto" mode, which
disable DwmFlush if the compositor is (probably) inactive. Let's see how
this goes.
Since I accidentally enabled DwmFlush always by default (more or less)
in a previous commit touching this code, this is probably mostly just
cargo-culting, and it's uncertain whether it does anything.
Note that I still got bad vsync behavior when fullscreening mpv, and
making another window visible on the same screen. This happens even if
forcing DWM.
Yet another relatively useless option that tries to make OpenGL's sync
behavior somewhat sane. The results are not too encouraging. With a
value of 1, vsync jitter is gone on nVidia, but there are frame drops
(less than with glfinish). With 2, I get the usual vsync jitter _and_
frame drops.
There's still some hope that it might prevent too deep queuing with some
GPUs, I guess.
The timeout for the wait call is 1 second. The value is pretty
arbitrary; it should just not be too high to freeze the process (if
the GPU is un-nice), and not too low to trigger the timeout in normal
cases, even if the GPU load is very high. So I guess 1 second is ok
as a timeout.
The idea to use fences this way to control the queue depth was stolen
from RetroArch:
df01279cf3/gfx/drivers/gl.c (L1856)
It's great that the new algorithm supports multiple placebo iterations
and all, but it's really not necessary and hurts performance in the
general case for the sake of the 0.1% that actually pause the screen
and look for minute differences.

Thanks to rcombs, ffmpeg now properly supports DASH and we can
remove our hacks for it and use it by default whenever
available. If you don't like this for whatever reason, you
can get the "normal" streams back with --ytdl-format=best .
Closes#579Closes#1321Closes#2359
libass 0.13.0 breaks this due to removal of fontconfig from its core
(instead, fontconfig is one possible backend, and pattern lookup is
apparently not possible anymore).
Useless. Sometimes it might be useful to make some extremely broken
files work, but on the other hand --no-correct-pts is sufficient for
these cases.
While we still need some of the code for AVI, the "auto" mode in
particular inflated the size of the code.
The manpage entry explains this.
(Maybe this option could be always enabled and removed. I don't quite
remember what valid use-cases there are for just disabling audio
entirely, other than that this is also needed for audio decoder init
failure.)
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.
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.
VideoToolbox is preferred. Now that FFmpeg released 2.8, there's no
reason to support VDA anymore. In fact, we had a bug that made VDA not
useable with older FFmpeg versions in some newer mpv releases.
VideoToolbox is supported even on slightly older OSX versions, and if
not, you still can run mpv without hw decoding.
This turns the old scalers (inherited from MPlayer) into a pre-
processing step (after color conversion and before scaling). The code
for the "sharpen5" scaler is reused for this.
The main reason MPlayer implemented this as scalers was perhaps because
FBOs were too expensive, and making it a scaler allowed to implement
this in 1 pass. But unsharp masking is not really a scaler, and I would
guess the result is more like combining bilinear scaling and unsharp
masking.
I see no point in keeping these around. Keeping wrappers for some select
libavfilter filters just because MPlayer had these filters is not a good
reason.
Ultimately, all real filtering work should go to libavfilter, and users
should get used to using vf_lavfi directly. We might even not require
the awful double-nested syntax for using libavfilter one day.
vf_rotate, vf_yadif, vf_stereo3d are kept because mpv uses them
internally. (They all extend the lavfi filters or change their
defaults.) vf_mirror is kept for symmetry with vf_flip. vf_gradfun and
vf_pullup are probably semi-popular, so I'll remove them not yet - only
after some more discussion.
