The --deinterlace option does on playback start what the "deinterlace"
property normally does at runtime. You could do this before by using the
--vf option or by messing with the vo_vdpau default options, but this
new option is supposed to be a "foolproof" way.
The main motivation for adding this is so that the deinterlace property
can be restored when using the video resume functionality
(quit_watch_later command).
Implementation-wise, this is a bit messy. The video chain is rebuilt in
mpcodecs_reconfig_vo(), where we don't have access to MPContext, so the
usual mechanism for enabling deinterlacing can't be used. Further,
mpcodecs_reconfig_vo() is called by the video decoder, which doesn't
have access to MPContext either. Moving this call to mplayer.c isn't
currently possible either (see below). So we just do this before frames
are filtered, which potentially means setting the deinterlacing every
frame. Fortunately, setting deinterlacing is stable and idempotent, so
this is hopefully not a problem. We also add a counter that is
incremented on each reconfig to reduce the amount of additional work per
frame to nearly zero.
The reason we can't move mpcodecs_reconfig_vo() to mplayer.c is because
of hardware decoding: we need to check whether the video chain works
before we decide that we can use hardware decoding. Changing it so that
this can be decided in advance without building a filter chain sounds
like a good idea and should be done, but we aren't there yet.
This option makes the cursor always visible in windowed mode.
Apparently, this is what (some?) Windows and OSX users expect. It's
disabled by default for now.
Restructure the cursor hide logic a bit for this purpose.
The --volume option accepted values up to 10000, but internally, the
value is always clipped to 0-100 range. What makes this even worse is
that --softvol-max suggests that it extends the range of --volume, which
is not the case. (And passing a volume larger than 100 to --volume
didn't even print a warning.)
Modeled after the old playlist_parser.c, but actually new code, and it
works a bit differently.
Demuxers (and sometimes streams) are the component that should be used
to open files and to determine the file format. This was already done
for subtitles, but playlists still use a separate code path.
Having to use -1 for that is generally quite annoying.
Audio formats are created from bitmasks, and it can't be excluded that
0 is not a valid format. Fix this by adjusting AF_FORMAT_I so that it
is never 0. Along with AF_FORMAT_F and the special formats, all valid
formats are covered and guaranteed to be non-0.
It's possible that this commit will cause some regressions, as the
check for invalid audio formats changes a bit.
Originally, the objective of this commit was changing --edition to be
1-based, but this was cancelled. I'm still leaving the change to
demux_mkv.c though, which is now only of cosmetic nature.
Add --video-align-x/y, --video-pan-x/y, --video-scale options and
properties. See the additions to the manpage for description and
semantics.
These transformations are intentionally done on top of panscan. Unlike
the (now removed) --panscanrange option, this doesn't affect the default
panscan behavior. (Although panscan itself becomes kind of useless if
the new options are used.)
This option allowed you to extend the range of the panscan controls, so
that you could essentially use it to scale the video. This will be
replaced by a separate option to set the zoom factor directly.
See github issue #194.
Unfortunately, this breaks the property that going back in the playlist
always works as expected. This changes, because the playlist_prev
command will work on the reshuffled playlist, instead of loading the
previously played files in order. If this ever becomes an issue, I
might revert this commit.
If close to chapter start, skipping back goes to previous chapter (no change).
If more than <threshold> seconds in, skipping back will now go to the beginning
of the current chapter instead.
The threshold is set by the new option --chapter-seek-threshold and defaults to
5 seconds. A negative value disables the new functionality.
This is based on the MPlayer VA API patches. To be exact it's based on
a very stripped down version of commit f1ad459a263f8537f6c from
git://gitorious.org/vaapi/mplayer.git.
This doesn't contain useless things like benchmarking hacks and the
demo code for GLX interop. Also, unlike in the original patch, decoding
and video output are split into separate source files (the separation
between decoding and display also makes pixel format hacks unnecessary).
On the other hand, some features not present in the original patch were
added, like screenshot support.
VA API is rather bad for actual video output. Dealing with older libva
versions or the completely broken vdpau backend doesn't help. OSD is
low quality and should be rather slow. In some cases, only either OSD
or subtitles can be shown at the same time (because OSD is drawn first,
OSD is prefered).
Also, libva can't decide whether it accepts straight or premultiplied
alpha for OSD sub-pictures: the vdpau backend seems to assume
premultiplied, while a native vaapi driver uses straight. So I picked
straight alpha. It doesn't matter much, because the blending code for
straight alpha I added to img_convert.c is probably buggy, and ASS
subtitles might be blended incorrectly.
Really good video output with VA API would probably use OpenGL and the
GL interop features, but at this point you might just use vo_opengl.
(Patches for making HW decoding with vo_opengl have a chance of being
accepted.)
Despite these issues, decoding seems to work ok. I still got tearing
on the Intel system I tested (Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2350M). It was also
tested with the vdpau vaapi wrapper on a nvidia system; however this
was rather broken. (Fortunately, there is no reason to use mpv's VAAPI
support over native VDPAU.)
Change how the HW decoding stuff is organized, the way it's initialized
in particular. Instead of duplicating the list of supported codecs for
hwaccel decoders, add a probe function which allows each decoder to
report whether it supports a given codec.
Add an "auto" choice to the --hwdec option, which automatically enables
hardware decoding if libavcodec and/or the VO supports it.
What mpv prints on the terminal changes a bit. Now it will just print
a single line whether hw decoding is used or not (and nothing at all if
no hw decoding at all was requested). The pretty violent fallback from
hw decoding to software decoding is still quite verbose and evil-looking
though.
core is used in many unix systems for core dumps. For that reason some tools
work under the assumption that the file is indeed a core dump (for example
autoconf does this).
This commit just renames the files. The following one will change all the
includes to fix compilation. This is done this way because git has a easier
time tracing file changes if there is a pure rename commit.
