Introduce the --opengl-hwdec-interop option, which replaces
--hwdec-preload. The new option allows explicit selection of the interop
backend.
This is relatively complex, and I would have preferred not to add this,
but it's probably useful to debug certain problems. In exchange, the
"new" option documents that pretty much any but the simplest use of it
will not be forward compatible.
This overlay support specifically skips the OpenGL rendering chain, and
uses GL rendering only for OSD/subtitles. This is for devices which
don't have performant GL support.
hwdec_rpi.c contains code ported from vo_rpi.c. vo_rpi.c is going to be
deprecated. I left in the code for uploading sw surfaces (as it might
be slightly more efficient for rendering sw decoded video), although
it's dead code for now.
Until now, we've always converted vdpau video surfaces to RGB, and then
mapped the resulting RGB texture. Change this so that the surface is
mapped as NV12 plane textures.
The reason this wasn't done until now is because vdpau surfaces are
mapped in an "interlaced" way as separate fields, even for progressive
video. This requires messy reinterleraving. It turns out that even
though it's an extra processing step, the result can be faster than
going through the video mixer for RGB conversion.
Other than some potential speed-gain, doing this has multiple other
advantages. We can apply our own color conversion, which is important in
more complex cases. We can correctly apply debanding and potentially
other processing that requires chroma-specific or in-YUV handling.
If deinterlacing is enabled, this switches back to the old RGB
conversion method. Until we have at least a primitive deinterlacer in
vo_opengl, this will stay this way. The d3d11 and vaapi code paths are
similar. (Of course these don't require any crazy field reinterleaving.)
ANGLE doesn't handle this very strictly. But if they change this in the
future, it shouldn't brick us.
Not quite happy with this glsl_extensions fields, but it is quite
unintrusive after all.
Rename gl_hwdec_driver.map_image to map_frame, and let it fill out a
struct gl_hwdec_frame describing the exact texture layout. This gives
more flexibility to what the hwdec interop can export. In particular, it
can export strange component orders/permutations and textures with
padded size. (The latter originating from cropped video.)
The way gl_hwdec_frame works is in the spirit of the rest of the
vo_opengl video processing code, which tends to put as much information
in immediate state (as part of the dataflow), instead of declaring it
globally. To some degree this duplicates the texplane and img_tex
structs, but until we somehow unify those, it's better to give the hwdec
state its own struct. The fact that changing the hwdec struct would
require changes and testing on at least 4 platform/GPU combinations
makes duplicating it almost a requirement to avoid pain later.
Make gl_hwdec_driver.reinit set the new image format and remove the
gl_hwdec.converted_imgfmt field.
Likewise, gl_hwdec.gl_texture_target is replaced with
gl_hwdec_plane.gl_target.
Split out a init_image_desc function from init_format. The latter is not
called in the hwdec case at all anymore. Setting up most of struct
texplane is also completely separate in the hwdec and normal cases.
video.c does not check whether the hwdec "mapped" image format is
supported. This should not really happen anyway, and if it does, the
hwdec interop backend must fail at creation time, so this is not an
issue.
The main change is with video/hwdec.h. mp_hwdec_info is made opaque (and
renamed to mp_hwdec_devices). Its accessors are mainly thread-safe (or
documented where not), which makes the whole thing saner and cleaner. In
particular, thread-safety rules become less subtle and more obvious.
The new internal API makes it easier to support multiple OpenGL interop
backends. (Although this is not done yet, and it's not clear whether it
ever will.)
This also removes all the API-specific fields from mp_hwdec_ctx and
replaces them with a "ctx" field. For d3d in particular, we drop the
mp_d3d_ctx struct completely, and pass the interfaces directly.
Remove the emulation checks from vaapi.c and vdpau.c; they are
pointless, and the checks that matter are done on the VO layer.
The d3d hardware decoders might slightly change behavior: dxva2-copy
will not use the VO device anymore if the VO supports proper interop.
This pretty much assumes that any in such cases the VO will not use any
form of exclusive mode, which makes using the VO device in copy mode
unnecessary.
This is a big refactor. Some things may be untested and could be broken.
Introduce hwdec-current and hwdec-interop properties.
Deprecate hwdec-detected, which never made a lot of sense, and which is
replaced by the new properties. hwdec-active also becomes useless, as
hwdec-current is a superset, so it's deprecated too (for now).
The underlying intention of this code is to make changing
--videotoolbox-format at runtime work. For this reason, the format can't
just be statically setup, but must be read from the option at runtime.
This means the format is not fixed anymore, and we have to make sure the
renderer is property reinitialized if the format changes. There is
currently no way to trigger reinit on this level, which is why the
mp_image_params.hw_subfmt field was introduced.
One sketchy thing remains: normally, the renderer is supposed to be
involved with VO format negotiation, which would ensure that the VO
can take the format at all. Since the hw_subfmt is not part of this
format negotiation, it's implied the get_vt_fmt() callback only
returns formats supported by the renderer. This is not necessarily
clear because vo_opengl checks this with converted_imgfmt separately.
None of this matters in practice though, because we know all formats
are always supported.
(This still requires somehow triggering decoder reinit to make the
change effective.)
Since there can be multiple backends for a single API (vaapi can use GLX
or EGL), not logging the exact backend name is annoying. So add it. At
the same time, there is no need to duplicate the name as used by the
--hwdec options, so replace it with using the numeric hwdec API ID.
VideoToolbox is preferred. Now that FFmpeg released 2.8, there's no
reason to support VDA anymore. In fact, we had a bug that made VDA not
useable with older FFmpeg versions in some newer mpv releases.
VideoToolbox is supported even on slightly older OSX versions, and if
not, you still can run mpv without hw decoding.
