See "Copyright" file for caveats.
This changes the remaining "almost LGPL" files to LGPL, because we think
that the conditions the author set for these was finally fulfilled.
This reverts commit 96462040ec.
I guess the autoprobing is still too primitive to handle this well. What
it really should be trying is initializing the wrapper decoder, and if
that doesn't work, try another method. This is complicated by hwaccels
initializing in a delayed way, so there is no easy solution yet.
Probably fixes#4865.
Not resetting hwdec_request_reinit caused it to flush on every packet,
which not only caused it to fail triggering the actual fallback, and let
it never decode a new frame, but also to get stuck on EOF.
This adds handling of spherical video metadata: retrieving it from
demux_lavf and demux_mkv, passing it through filters, and adjusting it
with vf_format. This does not include support for rendering this type of
video.
We don't expect we need/want to support the other projection types like
cube maps, so we don't include that for now. They can be added later as
needed.
Also raise the maximum sizes of stringified image params, since they
can get really long.
Apparently this was broken by the "ctx->hwdec" check in the if condition
guarding the destroy call, and "ctx->hwdec = NULL;" was moved up
earlier, making this always dead code.
This should probably be refcounted or so, although that could make it
worse as well. For now, add a flag whether the device should be
destroyed.
Fixes#4735.
Since these need to be refcounted, we throw them directly into struct
mp_image instead of being part of mp_colorspace. Even though they would
semantically make more sense in mp_colorspace, having them there is
really awkward because mp_colorspace is passed around and stored a lot,
and this way their lifetime is exactly tied to the lifetime of the
mp_image associated with it.
Can be enabled via --vd-lavc-dr=yes. See manpage additions for what it
does.
This reminds of the MPlayer -dr flag, but the implementation is
completely different. It's the same basic concept: letting the decoder
render into a GPU buffer to avoid a copy. Unlike MPlayer, this doesn't
try to go through filters (libavfilter doesn't support this anyway).
Unless a filter can work in-place, DR will be silently disabled. MPlayer
had very complex semantics about buffer types and management (which
apparently nobody ever understood) and weird restrictions that mostly
limited it to mpeg2 style codecs. The mpv code does not do any of this,
and just lets the decoder allocate an arbitrary number of untyped
images. (No MPlayer code was used.)
Parts of the code based on work by atomnuker (starting point for the
generic code) and haasn (some GL definitions, some basic PBO code, and
correct fencing).
Remove this code because it could be argued that it contains GPL-only
code (see commit 642e963c86 for details).
The remaining aspect methods appear to work just as well, are
potentially more compatible to other players, and the code becomes much
simpler.
Commit d5702d3b95 messed up the order of destruction of the elements: it
destroyed the avctx before the hwaccel uninit, even though the hwaccel
uninit could access avctx. This could happen with some old hwaccels
only, such as D3D ones before the new libavcodec hwaccel API.
Fix this by making use of the fact that avcodec_flush_buffers() will
uninit the underlying hwaccel. Thus we can be sure avctx is not using
any hwaccel objects anymore, and it's safe to uninit the hwaccel.
Move the hwdec_dev dstruction code with it, because otherwise we would
in theory potentially create some dangling pointers in avctx.
This sets AV_HWACCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_PROFILE_MISMATCH, which some hwaccels
using the new generic API respect. These do profile selection in
libavcodec, so it can be controlled only with an external flag, instead
of in mpv code like it used to be done.
They have been deprecated for a decade, yet you're forced to explicitly
deal with them at every step, or they will break your shit.
FFmpeg insists on keeping them, because libavfilter is too stupid to
deal with color ranges properly. Ridiculous.
For some braindead reason, Microsoft decided to prevent you from
dynamically loading system libraries. This makes portability harder.
And we're talking about portability between Microsoft OSes!
This partially reverts the change from a longer time ago to always build
DXVA2 and D3D11VA together.
To make it simpler, we change the following:
- building with ANGLE headers is now required to build D3D hwaccels
- if DXVA2 is enabled, D3D11VA is still forcibly built
- the CLI vo_opengl ANGLE backend is now under --egl-angle-win32
This is done to reduce the dependency mess slightly.
MaxCLL is the more authoritative source for the metadata we are
interested in. The use of mastering metadata is sort of a hack anyway,
since there's no clearly-defined relationship between the mastering peak
brightness and the actual content. (Unlike MaxCLL, which is an explicit
relationship)
Also move the parameter fixing to `fix_image_params`
I don't know if the avutil check is strictly necessary but I've included
it anyway to be on the safe side.
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.
"Almost" because this might contain copyright by michael, who agreed
with LGPL, but only once the core is LGPL. This is preparation for that
to happen.
Apart from that, the usual remarks apply. In particular, dec_video.c
started out quite chaotic with no modularization, but was later
basically gutted, and in general rewritten a bunch of times. Not going
to give a history lesson.
Special attention needs to be given to 3 patches by cehosos, who did not
agree to the relicensing:
240b743ebdf: --field-dominance
e32cbbf7dc3: reinit VO if aspect ratio changes
306f6243fdf: use container aspect if codec aspect unset (?)
The first patch is pretty clearly still in the current code, and needs
to be disabled for LGPL.
The functionality of the second patch is still active, but implemented
completely different, and as part of general frame parameter changes (at
the time of the patch, MPlayer already reinitialized the VO on frame
size and pixel format changes - all this was merged into a single check
for changing image parameters).
The third patch makes me a bit more uncomfortable. It appears the code
was moved to dec_video.c in de68b8f23c, and further changed in
82f0d373, 0a0bb905, and bf13bd0d. You could claim that cehoyos'
copyright still sticks. Fortunately, we implement alternative aspect
detection, which is simpler and probably preferable, and which arguably
contains none of the original code and logic, and thus should be fully
safe.
While I don't know if cehoyos' copyright actually still applies, I'm
more comfortable with making the code GPL-only for now. Also change the
default to use the (in future) plain LGPL code, and deprecate the one
associated with the GPL code, so we can eventually remove the GPL code.
But it's also possible we decide that the copyright doesn't apply, and
undo the deprecation and GPL guards.
I expect that users won't notice anything. If you ask me, the old aspect
method was probably an accidental bug instead of intentional behavior.
Although, the new aspect method was broken too, so I had to fix it.
iive agreed only to LGPL 3.0+ only. All of his relevant changes are for
XvMC, for which mpv completely dropped support back in mplayer2 times.
But you could claim that the get_format code represents some residual
copyright (everything else added by iive was removed, only get_format
still is around in some form). While I doubt that this is relly
copyright-relevant, consider it is for now.
michael is the original author of vd_lavc.c, so this file can become
LGPL only after the core becomes LGPL.
cehoyos did not agree with the LGPL relicensing, but all of his code is
gone.
Some others could not be reached, but their code is gone as well. In
particular, vdpau support, which was originally done by Nvidia, had
larger impact on vd_lavc.c, but vdpau support was first refactored a few
times (for the purpose of modularization) and moved to different files,
and then decoding was completely moved to libavcodec.
Lastly, assigning the "opaque" field was moved by Gwenole Beauchesne in
commit 8e5edec13e. Agreement is pending (due to copyright apparently
owned by the author's employer). So just undo the change, so we don't
have to think about whether the change is copyrightable.
Unfortunately quite a mess, in particular due to the need to have some
compatibility with the old API. (The old API will be supported only in
short term.)
The new API has literally no advantages (other than that we can drop
mp_vt_download_image and other things later), but it's sort-of uniform
with the other hwaccels.
"--videotoolbox-format=no" is not supported with the new API, because it
doesn't "fit in". Probably could be added later again.
The iOS code change is untested (no way to test).
It's not really guaranteed that other components always set this (e.g.
on subtle errors), so check it explicitly. Although I'm not aware of a
failing case.
If vo_opengl is used, and vo_opengl already created the vdpau interop
(for whatever reasons), and then preemption happens, and then you try to
enable hw decoding, it failed. The reason was that preemption recovery
is not run at any point before libavcodec accesses the vdpau device.
The actual impact was that with libmpv + opengl-cb use, hardware
decoding was permanently broken after display mode switching (something
that caused the display to get preempted at least with older drivers).
With mpv CLI, you can for example enable hw decoding during playback,
then disable it, VT switch to console, switch back to X, and try to
enable hw decoding again.
This is mostly because libav* does not deal with preemption, and NVIDIA
driver preemption behavior being horrible garbage. In addition to being
misdesigned API, the preemption callback is not called before you try to
access vdpau API, and then only with _some_ accesses.
In summary, the preemption callback was never called, neither before nor
after libavcodec tried to init the decoder. So we have to get
mp_vdpau_handle_preemption() called before libavcodec accesses it. This
in turn will do a dummy API access which usually triggers the preemption
callback immediately (with NVIDIA's drivers).
In addition, we have to update the AVHWDeviceContext's device. In theory
it could change (in practice it usually seems to use handle "0").
Creating a new device would cause chaos, as we don't have a concept of
switching the device context on the fly. So we simply update it
directly. I'm fairly sure this violates the libav* API, but it's the
best we can do.
Until now, the texture pointer was stored in plane 1, and the texture
array index was in plane 2. Move this down to plane 0 and plane 1. This
is to align it to the new WIP D3D11 decoding API in Libav, where we
decided that there is no reason to avoid setting plane 0, and that it
would be less weird to start at plane 0.
Sigh...
The functionality is not actually needed for vdpau, but if the vdpau
hwaccel is present, the FFmpeg version is new enough that it includes
the field.
These decoders can select the decoding device with hw_device_ctx, but
don't use hw_frames_ctx (at least not in a meaningful way).
Currently unused, but intended to be used for cuvid, as soon as it hits
ffmpeg git master.
Also make the vdpau and vaapi hwaccel definition structs static, as we
have removed the old code which would have had clashing external
declarations.
This drops support for the old libavcodec APIs. Now FFmpeg 3.3 or FFmpeg
git is required. Libav has no release with the new APIs yet, so for
Libav git as of a few weeks or months ago or so is required if you want
to use Libav.
Not much actually changes in hwdec_vaegl.c - some code is removed, but
the reindentation inflates the diff.
If vaapi was found, but neither the old or new libavcodec vaapi hwaccel
API, then HAVE_VAAPI_HWACCEL will be defined, but not _OLD or _NEW. The
HAVE_VAAPI_HWACCEL define pretty much exists only for acrobatics with
our own waf dependency checker helper code.
The new API works like the new vaapi API, using generic hwaccel support.
One minor detail is the error message that will be printed if using
non-4:2:0 surfaces (which as far as I can tell is completely broken in
the nVidia drivers and thus not supported by mpv). The HEVC warning
(which is completely broken in the nVidia drivers but should work with
Mesa) had to be added to the generic hwaccel code.
This also trashes display preemption recovery. Fuck that. It never
really worked. If someone complains, I might attempt to add it back
somehow.
This is the 4th iteration of the libavcodec vdpau API (after the
separate decoder API, the manual hwaccel API, and the automatic vdpau
hwaccel API). Fortunately, further iterations will be generic, and not
require much vdpau-specific changes (if any at all).
I guess that's the full extent I still care about nVidia's broken
garbage. In theory, we could always force the video mixer (which is the
only method getting the video data that works), but why bother.
FFmpeg could crash with vaapi (new) and --vo=opengl + interpolation.
It seems the actual surface count the old vaapi code uses (and which
usually never exceeded the preallocated amount) was higher than what
was used for the new vaapi code, so just correct that. The d3d helpers
also had weird code that bumped the real pool size, fix them as well.
Why this would result in an assertion failure instead of a proper error,
who knows.
hw_vaapi.c didn't do much interesting anymore. Other than the function
to create a device for decoding with vaapi-copy, everything can be done
by generic code. Other libavcodec hwaccels are planned to provide the
same API as vaapi. It will be possible to drop the other hw_ files in
the future. They will use this generic code instead.
Originally, there was probably some sort of intention to restrict it to
formats supported by the interop, or something. But in the end it was
overcomplicated nonsense.
In the future, we could use mp_hwdec_ctx.supported_formats or other
mechanisms to handle this in a better way.
mp_hwdec_ctx.ctx is not set to a dummy pointer - hwdec_devices_load() is
only used to detect whether to vo_opengl interop is present, and the
common hwdec code expects that the .ctx field is not NULL.
This also changes videotoolbox-copy to use --videotoolbox-format,
instead of the FFmpeg-set default.
The code for copying a videotoolbox surface to mp_image was duplicated
(with some minor differences - I picked the hw_videotoolbox.c version,
because it was "better"). mp_imgfmt_from_cvpixelformat() is somewhat
duplicated with the vt_formats[] table, but this will be fixed in a
later commit, and moving the function to shared code is preparation.
