Although the source file is named w32.c, the backend name was "win"
until recently. It was accidentally changed to "w32"; fix it.
Fixes#2608 (the manual is correct).
This is a hack, but unfortunately the DwmGetCompositionTimingInfo
heuristic does not work in all cases (with multiple-monitors on Windows
8.1 and even with a single monitor in Windows 10.) See the comment in
mp_w32_is_in_exclusive_mode() for more details.
It should go without saying that if any better method of doing this
reveals itself, this hack should be dropped.
Quoting MSDN: "Notifies the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) to opt in to or
out of Multimedia Class Schedule Service (MMCSS) scheduling while the
calling process is alive.". Whatever this means. (An application can
change the scheduling priority of the window manager?)
Does this improve anything? I have no idea. Certainly this is a program
that does multimedia and graphics, so we seem to be a good match for
this.
Is it bad if we enable this even while playback is inactive or paused? I
have no idea either.
Is there a magic cargo cult function that will mark our renderer thread
as multimedia thing? I have no idea. (We use a function to enable MMCSS
for our audio thread in ao_wasapi.)
Enable it by default, but not unconditionally. Add an "auto" mode, which
disable DwmFlush if the compositor is (probably) inactive. Let's see how
this goes.
Since I accidentally enabled DwmFlush always by default (more or less)
in a previous commit touching this code, this is probably mostly just
cargo-culting, and it's uncertain whether it does anything.
Note that I still got bad vsync behavior when fullscreening mpv, and
making another window visible on the same screen. This happens even if
forcing DWM.
This parameter has been unused for years (the last flag was removed in
commit d658b115). Get rid of it.
This affects the general VO API, as well as the vo_opengl backend API,
so it touches a lot of files.
The VOFLAGs are still used to control OpenGL context creation, so move
them to the OpenGL backend code.
