If the Xrandr configuration changes, re-read it. So if you change
display modes or screen configuration, it will update the framedrop
refresh rate accordingly.
This passes the rootwin to XRRSelectInput(), which may or may not be
allowed. But it works, and the documentation (which is worse than used
toilet paper, great job Xorg) doesn't forbid it, or in fact say anything
about what the window parameter is even used for.
This is always included in the Xorg development headers. Strictly
speaking it's not necessarily available with other X implementations,
but these are hopefully all dead.
Drop use of the ancient XF86VM, and use the slightly less ancient Xrandr
extension to retrieve the refresh rate. Xrandr has the advantage that it
supports multiple monitors (at least the modern version of it).
For now, we don't attempt any dynamic reconfiguration. We don't request
and listen to Xrandr events, and we don't notify the VO code of changes
in the refresh rate. (The later works by assuming that X coordinates map
directly to Xrandr coordinates, which probably is wrong with compositing
window manager, at least if these use complicated transformations. But I
know of no API to handle this.)
It would be nice to drop use of the Xinerama extension too, but
unfortunately, at least one EWMH feature uses Xinerama screen numbers,
and I don't know how that maps to Xrandr outputs.
This mostly uses the same idea as with vo_vdpau.c, but much simplified.
On X11, it tries to get the display framerate with XF86VM, and limits
the frequency of new video frames against it. Note that this is an old
extension, and is confirmed not to work correctly with multi-monitor
setups. But we're using it because it was already around (it is also
used by vo_vdpau).
This attempts to predict the next vsync event by using the time of the
last frame and the display FPS. Even if that goes completely wrong,
the results are still relatively good.
On other systems, or if the X11 code doesn't return a display FPS, a
framerate of 1000 is assumed. This is infinite for all practical
purposes, and means that only frames which are definitely too late are
dropped. This probably has worse results, but is still useful.
"--framedrop=yes" is basically replaced with "--framedrop=decoder". The
old framedropping mode is kept around, and should perhaps be improved.
Dropping on the decoder level is still useful if decoding itself is too
slow.
Xlib is not thread-safe. Or actually it is, but it's an incomprehensible
hack that was added later, and which needs to be acitvated manually
(this makes no sense). And it appears that the vdpau accesses X from the
decoder thread if GLX interop is used (and not in any other situations -
this doesn't make too much sense either).
So, just call the magic function that enables Xlib thread-safety.
Cast away the "extra" bits (since apparently Window/XID is always
32 bit unsigned). This is not striclty needed, because you're not
supposed to pass garbage to --wid, just because the upper bits are
possibly not interpreted. But if you do so, this change increases
consistency in behavior and removes a strange behavior that was
thought to be a bug.
Also see github issue #906.
Apparently clearing on every map can cause problems with vdpau when
switching virtual desktops and such. This was observed with at least
XMonad and nvidia-340.17. It's not observed on some other setups without
XMonad.
It's not clear why this happens. Normally, the window background is not
saved, so clearing should have no additional affect. It's a complete
mystery. Possible, the use of legacy X drawing commands (used to clear
the window) interferes with vdpau operation in non-trivial ways.
Work this around by clearing on initial map only. This probably only
hides the underlying issue, but good enough.
Closes#897.

While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
It seems we can't really get rid of this. There are no other hints to
remove decorations that work across all reasonable WMs, so we're stuck
with the ugly motif stuff.
But at least we can make the code for it less ugly.
Setting this property was added 12 years ago, and the code was always
incorrect. The underlying data type is "long", not "pid_t". It's well
possible that the data types are different, and the pointer to the pid
variable is directly passed to XChangeProperty, possibly invoking
undefined behavior.
It's funny, because in theory using pid_t for PIDs sounds more correct.
_WIN_LAYER is apparently an old GNOME thing (also explains why there is
a function vo_x11_get_gnome_layer() involved in this code). Prefer the
NetWM hints over this. This just moves the NetWM case if-body over the
_WIN_LAYER one.
You can't use identifiers starting with "_" and an uppercase letter in
application programs. They are reserved by the C standard.
Unrelated change: drop unused/misleading vo_wm_NETWM define.
I can only assume the old code was wrong. EWMH does not document
anything with _WIN_LAYER. Instead, you have to toggle the state using a
client message. We also remove these weird non-sense fallbacks, like
using _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW - what the hell?
This works around an issue in OpenBox: OpenBox apparently sizes the
normal window incorrectly if aspect ratio hints are set, and the window
size is off by 1 pixel. Then, when going fullscreen and leaving
fullscreen again, mpv sets the hints based on OpenBox' broken window
size, and as result, OpenBox sizes the window incorrectly and is off by
1 pixel again - so it's 2 pixels off in total. The error gets more
visible, the more often you toggle fullscreen mode.
Work this around by not setting the window hints if we don't need to.
Actually we only need to do this when the video is resized during
fullscreen, which happens rarely. Under normal circumstances, leaving
fullscreen mode requires that the WM restores the old state.
As such, this commit is not only a workaround, but actually a cleanup.
Note that we do need to set the hints when leaving fullscreen if the
window has resized: even though we set the hints in
vo_x11_highlevel_resize (called by vo_x11_config_vo_window), this
doesn't seem to have an effect (at least on IceWM), so we have to do it
after that.
Side note: ot seems commit 625ad57a strangely triggered the OpenBox
issue according to user reports; I'm not sure why.
Before this commit, this was somehow polled (i.e. not the right way).
Also, selects the correct window when doing --wid=0 (which is another
weird special-case).
Enabling DPMS even though you disabled it globally is pretty unfriendly,
so don't do it. Instead, we only disable DPMS if it was enabled, and
only enable it if we disabled it ourselves.
The other way should never happen (disabling DPMS permanently), unless
mpv crashes during playback.
Reduces some code-duplication.
Just call DPMSEnable/DPMSDisable, instead of DPMSForceLevel when
reenabling DPMS. "Force" sounds evil, and messing with DPMS is already
pretty evil. I'm not even sure that we should.
XGetWindowProperty is a really bad API, almost as if the NSA designed
it. The wrapper takes care of verifying the return values and handle
corner cases.
The window "gravity" influences how placement interacts with WM added
borders (i.e. from decorations). This is probably what the code removed
in commit c14721c8 was about.
In theory, we'd probably want to set the gravity depending on the
relative placement requested by the user (so that it's possible to line
up the top/left video pixel with the monitor corner, as well as the
bottom/right pixel - but that would be too complicated, and who cares
after all?).
I'm also not sure whether CenterGravity really uses the top/left corner
as reference point (instead of making coordinates relative to the window
center), but empirically it's correct.
Try to get the "new" code path (using NetWM/EWMH) free of hacks done for
the sake of old WMs or the no-WM case.
Implement --fs-screen using _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS.
Keeps the window centered on resize. Seems nicer. (Although it's worse
if 1. the default placement of the WM puts it into a monitor corner,
and 2. you switch to a larger video.)
It was added with 3813c685 in 2004. I'm not really sure why this gravity
stuff would be needed; apparently it has to do with misplacements with
broken WMs and had to be changed on fullscreen. Just get rid of it; it
works perfectly fine without on modern WMs.
The thread discussing this is here:
http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2004-July/027674.html
This should get rid of some flickering. Since this actually skips all
the wacky fullscreening code on startup, this might lead to certain
wacky features to stop working. In this case, you'll have to use the
--x11-fstype option, and disable _NETWM_STATE_FULLSCREEN usage.
vo_x11_map_window() was attempting to clear the window on map. However,
it did so immediately after the map request. It probably assumed that
the drawing calls for clearing the window would be queued along with the
map request, and then executed in the right order. However, this
assumption was wrong - the map request first has to go to the window
manager (I guess?), so a lot of things happen before the window is even
mapped.
Fix this by moving the call to the MapNotify message handler, when the
window (apparently) becomes really visible.
I also tried to set CWBackPixel to black instead, but this seemed to
result in flickering on manual resizing.
This blocks everything, until the window is actually reported as mapped.
This fixes the race condition between VO initialization and mapping the
window, which resulted in possibly different window sizes, leading to an
immediate redraw, visible as flashing.
Note that if the map event never comes for some reason, we're out of
luck and will block forever.
Fix all include statements of the form:
#include "libav.../..."
These come from MPlayer times, when FFmpeg was somehow part of the
MPlayer build tree, and this form was needed to prefer the local files
over system FFmpeg.
In some cases, the include statement wasn't needed or could be replaced
with mpv defined symbols.
