Hardware decoding/displaying with vo_opengl is done by replacing the
normal video textures with textures provided by the hardware decoding
API OpenGL interop code. Often, this changes the format (vaglx and vdpau
return RGBA, vda returns packed YUV).
If the format is changed, there was a chance (or at least a higher
potential for bugs) that the shader generation code could be confused by
the mismatch of formats, and would create incorrect conversions.
Simplify this by requiring the hwdec interop driver to set the format it
will return to us. This affects all fields, not just some (done by
replacing the format with the value of the converted_imgfmt field in
init_format), in particular fields like colorlevels.
Currently, no hwdec interop driver does anything sophisticated, and the
win is mostly from the mp_image_params_guess_csp() function, which will
reset fields like colorlevels to expected value if RGBA is used.
gl_common.c contained the function loader (which is big) and additional
utility functions (not so big, but will grow when moving more out of
gl_video.c). Just split them. There are no changes other than some
modifications to comments.
Before this commit, each hw backend had their own specific struct types
for context, and some, like VDA, had none at all. Add a context struct
(mp_hwdec_ctx) that provides a somewhat generic way to pass the hwdec
context around. Some things get slightly better, some slightly more
verbose.
mp_hwdec_info is still around; it's still needed, but is reduced to its
role of handling delayed loading of the hwdec backend.
This adds API to libmpv that lets host applications use the mpv opengl
renderer. This is a more flexible (and possibly more portable) option to
foreign window embedding (via --wid).
This assumes that methods like context sharing and multithreaded OpenGL
rendering are infeasible, and that a way is needed to integrate it with
an application that uses a single thread to render everything.
Add an example that does this with QtQuick/qml. The example is
relatively lazy, but still shows how relatively simple the integration
is. The FBO indirection could probably be avoided, but would require
more work (and would probably lead to worse QtQuick integration, because
it would have to ignore transformations like rotation).
Because this makes mpv directly use the host application's OpenGL
context, there is no platform specific code involved in mpv, except
for hw decoding interop.
main.qml is derived from some Qt example.
The following things are still missing:
- a way to do better video timing
- expose GL renderer options, allow changing them at runtime
- support for color equalizer controls
- support for screenshots
This wasn't done before because there was no advantage in "abstracting"
it. This changed, and putting this into its own files is better than
messing it into gl_common.c/h.
Same as with the previous commits.
In theory, vdpau/x11 GL interop doesn't assume GLX. It could use EGL as
well. But since it's always GLX in practice, so we're fine with this.
Remove the gl_hwdec.mpgl field - it's unused now.
Use the newly provided mp_vdpau_handle_preemption() function, instead of
accessing mp_vdpau_ctx fields directly. Will probably make multithreaded
access to the vdpau context easier.
Mostly unrelated to the actual changes, I've noticed that using hw
decoding with vo_opengl sometimes leads to segfaults inside of nvidia's
libGL when doing the following:
1. use hw decoding + vo_opengl
2. switch to console (will preempt on nvidia systems)
3. switch back to X (mpv will recover, switches to sw decoding)
4. enable hw decoding again
5. exit mpv
Then it segfaults when mpv finally calls exit(). I'll just blame nvidia,
although it seems likely that something in the gl_hwdec_vdpau.c
preemption handling triggers corner cases in nvidia's code.
This uses mp_vdpau_mixer_render(). The benefit is that it makes vdpau
deinterlacing just work. One additional minor advantage is that the
video mixer creation code is factored out (although that is a double-
edged sword).
The old ffmpeg vdpau support code uses separate vdpau pixel formats for
each decoder (pretty much because mplayer's architecture sucked), which
just gets into the way. Force the old decoder's output to IMGFMT_VDPAU,
and remove IMGFMT_IS_VDPAU() where we can remove it.
This should completely remove the differences betwene the old and new
vdpau decoder outside of the decoder.
This means most code accessing this struct must now include hwdec.h
instead of dec_video.h. I just put it into dec_video.h at first because
I thought a separate file would be a waste, but it's more proper to do
it this way, as there are too many files which include dec_video.h only
to get the mp_hwdec_info definition.
This uses vdpau OpenGL interop to convert a vdpau surface to a texture.
Note that this is a bit weak and primitive. Deinterlacing (or any other
form of vdpau postprocessing) is not supported. vo_opengl chroma scaling
and chroma sample position are not supported. Internally, the vdpau
video surfaces are converted to a RGBA surface first, because using the
video surfaces directly is too complicated. (These surfaces are always
split into separate fields, and the vo_opengl core expects progressive
frames or frames with weaved fields.)
