Drop libva versions below 0.34.0. These are ancient, so I don't care.
Drop the vo_vaapi deinterlacer as well. With 0.34.0, VPP is always
available, and deinterlacing is done with vf_vavpp.
The vaCreateSurfaces() function changes its signature - actually it did
in 0.34.0 or so, and the <va/va_compat.h> defined a macro to make it use
the old signature.
Until now, it only used the hash from the previous configure run,
instead of trying to get the latest hash. The "old" build system did
this correctly - we just have to use the existing logic in version.sh.
Since waf supports separate build dirs, extend version.sh with an
argument for setting the path of version.h.
Yet another of these dozens of hwaccel changes. This time, libavcodec
provides utility functions, which initialize the vdpau decoder and map
codec profiles. So a lot of work the API user had to do falls away.
This also will give us support for high bit depth profiles, and possibly
HEVC once libavcodec supports it.
The hardware always decodes to nv12 so using this image format causes less cpu
usage than uyvy (which we are currently using, since Apple examples and other
free software use that). The reduction in cpu usage can add up to quite a bit,
especially for 4k or high fps video.
This needs an accompaning commit in libavcodec.
This unbreaks compiling command line player and libmpv at the same
time. The problem was that doing so silently disabled the OSX
application thing - but the command line player can not use the
vo_opengl Cocoa backend without it.
The OSX application code is basically dead in libmpv, but it's not
that much code anyway.
If you want a mpv binary that does not create an OSX application
singleton (and creates a menu etc.), you must disable cocoa
completely, as cocoa can't be used anyway in this case.
Use texture-from-pixmap instead of vaapi's "native" GLX support.
Apparently the latter is unused by other projects. Possibly it's broken
due that, and Intel's inability to provide anything non-broken in
relation to video.
The new code basically uses the X11 output method on a in-memory pixmap,
and maps this pixmap as texture using standard GLX mechanisms. This
requires a lot of X11 and GLX boilerplate, so the code grows. (I don't
know why libva's GLX interop doesn't just do the same under the hood,
instead of bothering the world with their broken/unmaintained "old"
method, whatever it did. I suspect that Intel programmers are just
genuine sadists.)
This change was suggested in issue #1765.
The old GLX support is removed, as it's redundant and broken anyway.
One remaining issue is that the first vaPutSurface() call fails with an
unknown error. It returns -1, which is pretty strange, because vaapi
error codes are normally positive. It happened with the old GLX code
too, but does not happen with vo_vaapi. I couldn't find out why.
It was already accidentally used unconditionally by command.c.
Apparently this worked well for us, so don't change anything about,
but should it be unavailable, fail at configure time instead of compile
time.
This requires FFmpeg git master for accelerated hardware decoding.
Keep in mind that FFmpeg must be compiled with --enable-mmal. Libav
will also work.
Most things work. Screenshots don't work with accelerated/opaque
decoding (except using full window screenshot mode). Subtitles are
very slow - even simple but huge overlays can cause frame drops.
This always uses fullscreen mode. It uses dispmanx and mmal directly,
and there are no window managers or anything on this level.
vo_opengl also kind of works, but is pretty useless and slow. It can't
use opaque hardware decoding (copy back can be used by forcing the
option --vd=lavc:h264_mmal). Keep in mind that the dispmanx backend
is preferred over the X11 ones in case you're trying on X11; but X11
is even more useless on RPI.
This doesn't correctly reject extended h264 profiles and thus doesn't
fallback to software decoding. The hw supports only up to the high
profile, and will e.g. return garbage for Hi10P video.
This sets a precedent of enabling hw decoding by default, but only
if RPI support is compiled (which most hopefully it will be disabled
on desktop Linux platforms). While it's more or less required to use
hw decoding on the weak RPI, it causes more problems than it solves
on real platforms (Linux has the Intel GPU problem, OSX still has
some cases with broken decoding.) So I can live with this compromise
of having different defaults depending on the platform.
Raspberry Pi 2 is required. This wasn't tested on the original RPI,
though at least decoding itself seems to work (but full playback was
not tested).
Why did this exist in the first place? Other than being completely
useless, this even caused some regressions in the past. For example,
there was the case of a laptop exposing its accelerometer as joystick
device, which led to extremely fun things due to the default mappings of
axis movement being mapped to seeking.
I suppose those who really want to use their joystick to control a media
player (???) can configure it as mouse device or so.
We've been prefering the libavcodec mp3 decoder for half a year now.
There is likely no benefit at all for using the libmpg123 one. It's just
a maintenance burden, and tricks users into thinking it's a required
dependency.
Using check_statement() with an empty statement just to check for the
header is quite a hack. Fix check_headers() (so it takes a "use"
parameter), and use it for the checks instead.
The af_lavrresample commit made compilation fail on Libav 10, so I think
it's time to require somewhat more recent dependencies.
Libav 11 is the latest release, and FFmpeg 2.4 seems to correspond to
Libav 11. So use these.
Also adjust the configure failure message. Instead of (accidentally)
printing the pkg-config versions twice, print the release version
numbers too. This is helpful, because the release version numbers are
completely different from the pkg-config ones.
I will probably remove some compatibility hacks in the following commits
too.
Breaks vo_opengl by default. I'm hot able to fix this myself, because I
have no clue about the overcomplicated color management logic. Also,
whilethis is apparently caused by commit fbacd5, the following commits
all depend on it, so revert them too.
This reverts the following commits:
e141caa97d653b0dd529729c8b3f64fbacd5de31Fixes#1636.
Nobody should use an older version. It's perfectly backwards and forward
compatible, so distros have no excuse not to package a recent version.
Older versions lack tons of bug fixes (some of them crashing bugs, and
potentially security relevant).
With love to Debian, which is still on 0.10.2.
If "--af=rubberband" is used, librubberband will be used to speed up or
slow down audio with pitch correction.
This still has some problems: the audio delay is not calculated
correctly, so the audio position jitters around by a few milliseconds.
This will probably ruin video timing.
The compilation database is a JSON file[1] storing all compilation flags. That
is useful for tools using libclang for code completion and error reporting
(for example: YouCompleteMe for vim).

The symlink trick made waf go crazy (deleting source files, getting
tangled up in infinite recursion... I wish I was joking). This means we
still can't build the client API examples in a reasonable way using the
include files of the local repository (instead of globally installed
headers). Not building them at all is better than deleting source files.
Instead, provide some manual instructions how to build each example
(except for the Qt examples, which provide qmake project files).
Handles mismatching libavfilter/libavdevice and libavcodec slightly
better.
libavfilter and libavdevice are optional, and thus are checked
separately and at a later point of the build. But if a user system has
at least 2 FFmpeg installations, and one of them lacks libavfilter or
libavdevice, the build script will pick up the libavfilter/libavdevice
package of the "other" FFmpeg installation. The moment waf picks these
up, all include paths will start pointing at the "wrong" FFmpeg, and the
FFmpeg API checks done earlier might be wrong too, leading to obscure
and hard to explain compilation failures.
Just moving the libavfilter/libavdevice checks before the FFmpeg API
checks somewhat deals with this issue. Certainly not a proper solution,
but since the change is harmless, and there is no proper solution, and
the change doesn't actually add anything new, why not.
This function is always available, which is reflected by the fact that
the configure check doesn't actually bother to check for its existence.
Instead, MinGW and Cygwin imply it. The check was probably "needed" when
the priority code was still in a separate source file.
Remove the check, and use _WIN32 for testing for the win32 API (in a
bunch of other places too).
I hoped we could always use libavresample, but the FFmpeg project is
being too dickish to enable libavresample by default - which means we
need our libswresample-to-libavresample hack anyway.
Give up, and use the "supported" one of the duplicated libraries when
compiling against FFmpeg (relying on the fact that libswresample won't
be present if compiling against Libav).
The examples simple.c and cocoabasic.m can be compiled without
installing libmpv. But also, they didn't use the correct include path
libmpv programs normally use, so they couldn't be built with a properly
installed system-libmpv. That's pretty bad for examples, which are
supposed to show how to use libmpv correctly.
So do some bullshit that symlinks libmpv to a "mpv" include directory
under the build directory. This name-mismatch is a direct consequence of
the bullshit done in 499a6758 (requested in #539 for dumb reasons). (We
don't want to name the client API headers directory "mpv", because that
would be too unspecific, and clashes with having the mpv binary in the
same directory.)
If you have spaces or other "unusual" characters in your paths, the
build will break, because I couldn't find out where waf hides its
function to escape shell parameters (or a way to invoke programs
without involving the shell). Neither does such a thing to be
documented, nor do they seem to have a clear way to do this in
their code.
This also doesn't compile the Qt examples, because everything becomes
even more terrible from there on.
Instead of just failing during channel map selection, try to select a close
layout that makes most sense and upmix/downmix to that instead of failing AO
initialization. The heuristic is rather simple, and uses the following steps:
1) If mono is required always prefer stereo to a multichannel upmix.
2) Search for an upmix that is an exact superset of the required channel map.
3) Search for a downmix that is the exact subset of the required channel map.
4) Search for either an upmix or downmix that is the closest (minimum difference
of channels) to the required channel map.
Makes all of overlay_add work on windows/mingw.
Since we now don't explicitly check for mmap() anymore (it's always
present), this also requires us to make af_export.c compile, but I
haven't tested it.
This is an ancient filter, and we assume it's not useful anymore.
If you really want this, it's still available in libavfilter (e.g. via
--vf=lavfi=[pp...]). The disadvantage is that mpv doesn't pass through
QP information to libavfilter. (This was probably the reason vf_pp still
was part of mpv - it was slightly easier to pass QP internally.)
