c784820454 introduced a bool option type
as a replacement for the flag type, but didn't actually transition and
remove the flag type because it would have been too much mundane work.
Change all OPT_* macros such that they don't define the entire m_option
initializer, and instead expand only to a part of it, which sets certain
fields. This requires changing almost every option declaration, because
they all use these macros. A declaration now always starts with
{"name", ...
followed by designated initializers only (possibly wrapped in macros).
The OPT_* macros now initialize the .offset and .type fields only,
sometimes also .priv and others.
I think this change makes the option macros less tricky. The old code
had to stuff everything into macro arguments (and attempted to allow
setting arbitrary fields by letting the user pass designated
initializers in the vararg parts). Some of this was made messy due to
C99 and C11 not allowing 0-sized varargs with ',' removal. It's also
possible that this change is pointless, other than cosmetic preferences.
Not too happy about some things. For example, the OPT_CHOICE()
indentation I applied looks a bit ugly.
Much of this change was done with regex search&replace, but some places
required manual editing. In particular, code in "obscure" areas (which I
didn't include in compilation) might be broken now.
In wayland_common.c the author of some option declarations confused the
flags parameter with the default value (though the default value was
also properly set below). I fixed this with this change.
Raise swscale and zimg default parameters. This restores screenshot
quality settings (maybe) unset in the commit before. Also expose some
more libswscale and zimg options.
Since these options are also used for VOs like x11 and drm, this will
make x11/drm/etc. much slower. For compensation, provide a profile that
sets the old option values: sw-fast. I'm also enabling zimg here, just
as an experiment.
The core problem is that we have a single set of command line options
which control the settings used for most swscale/zimg uses. This was
done in the previous commit. It cannot differentiate between the VOs,
which need to be realtime and may accept/require lower quality options,
and things like screenshots or vo_image, which can be slower, but should
not sacrifice quality by default.
Should this have two sets of options or something similar to do the
right thing depending on the code which calls libswscale? Maybe. Or
should I just ignore the problem, make it someone else's problem (users
who want to use software conversion VOs), provide a sub-optimal
solution, and call it a day? Definitely, sounds good, pushing to master,
goodbye.
f_reset, which is called on seeks, was a good place for resetting the
warning flag (so the warning would be print again). Except some other
code abused f_reset when all metadata was read (in both cases you want
to clear the metadata). Instead of spending more time on getting this
flag reset correctly, just never reset it.
According to the zimg author, YUV->GREY conversion does not even read
the chroma planes, as long as no matrix conversion is involved. Since we
try to avoid the latter anyway by forcing the source parameters on the
target image, passing only the Y plane will not help with anything.
An unscientific test seems to confirm this, so remove this.
This would probably help with libswscale (I didn't test this), but on
the other hand, libswscale will rarely be used in cases where we can
extract the Y plane. (Except nv12, which should probably be added to the
zimg wrapper's unpacking.)
Leaks the entire zimg state on filter deinit. Not sure what I was
thinking; with some luck, I just didn't give a shit about this case, but
most likely I was thinking the same thing as always: nothing.
I was assuming posix_memalign was the most portable function to use, but
MinGW does not provide it for some reason. Switch to C11 aligned_alloc()
which someone suggested was provided by MinGW (but actually isn't,
someone probably confused it with the incompatible _aligned_malloc),
and add a configure check.
Even though it turned out that MinGW doesn't provide it, the function
is slightly more elegant than posix_memalign(), so stay with it.
skip-logo.lua is just what I wanted to have. Explanations are on the top
of that file. As usual, all documentation threatens to remove this stuff
all the time, since this stuff is just for me, and unlike a normal user
I can afford the luxuary of hacking the shit directly into the player.
vf_fingerprint is needed to support this script. It needs to scale down
video frames as part of its operation. For that, it uses zimg. zimg is
much faster than libswscale and generates more correct output. (The
filter includes a runtime fallback, but it doesn't even work because
libswscale fucks up and can't do YUV->Gray with range adjustment.)
Note on the algorithm: seems almost too simple, but was suggested to me.
It seems to be pretty effective, although long time experience with
false positives is missing. At first I wanted to use dHash [1][2], which
is also pretty simple and effective, but might actually be worse than
the implemented mechanism. dHash has the advantage that the fingerprint
is smaller. But exact matching is too unreliable, and you'd still need
to determine the number of different bits for fuzzier comparison. So
there wasn't really a reason to use it.
