The code for copying a videotoolbox surface to mp_image was duplicated
(with some minor differences - I picked the hw_videotoolbox.c version,
because it was "better"). mp_imgfmt_from_cvpixelformat() is somewhat
duplicated with the vt_formats[] table, but this will be fixed in a
later commit, and moving the function to shared code is preparation.
This basically reuses the scripting infrastructure.
Note that this needs to be explicitly enabled at compilation. For one,
enabling export for certain symbols from an executable seems to be quite
toolchain-specific. It might not work outside of Linux and cause random
problems within Linux.
If C plugins actually become commonly used and this approach is starting
to turn out as a problem, we can build mpv CLI as a wrapper for libmpv,
which would remove the requirement that plugins pick up host symbols.
I'm being lazy, so implementation/documentation are parked in existing
files, even if that stuff doesn't necessarily belong there. Sue me, or
better send patches.
The old API is deprecated, and libavcodec prints a warning at runtime.
The new API is a bit nicer and does many things for you, such as
managing the underlying hwaccel decoder. libavutil also provides code
for managing surfaces (we use their surface pool).
The new code does not contain any code from the original MPlayer VAAPI
patch (that was used as base for some of the vaapi code in mpv). Thus
the new code is LGPL.
The new API actually does not add any visible symbols, so the only way
to detect it is a version check. Of course, the versions overlap
between FFmpeg and Libav, which requires additional care. The new
API did not get merged into FFmpeg yet, so there's no check for
FFmpeg.
The reST contents directive is added to mpv.rst.
In wscript_build.py, the --strip-elements-with-class=contents option is
needed for the rst2man call in order to prevent the TOC from appearing
in mpv.1.
'cuda-gl' isn't right - you can turn this on without any GL and
get some non-zero benefit (with the cuda-copy hwaccel). So
'cuda-hwaccel' seems more consistent with everything else.
Move the embedded string with the builtin profiles to a separate
builtin.conf file. This makes it easier to read and edit, and you can
also check it for errors with --include=etc/builtin.conf. (Normally
errors are hidden intentionally, because there's no way to output error
messages this early, and because some options might not be present on
all platforms or with all configurations.)
Minimal support just for testing.
Only the window surface creation (including size determination) is
really platform specific, so this could be some generic thing with
platform-specific support as some sort of sub-driver, but on the other
hand I don't see much of a need for such a thing.
While most of the fbdev usage is done by the EGL driver, using this
fbdev ioctl is apparently the only way to get the display resolution.
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.
Nvidia's "NvDecode" API (up until recently called "cuvid" is a cross
platform, but nvidia proprietary API that exposes their hardware
video decoding capabilities. It is analogous to their DXVA or VDPAU
support on Windows or Linux but without using platform specific API
calls.
As a rule, you'd rather use DXVA or VDPAU as these are more mature
and well supported APIs, but on Linux, VDPAU is falling behind the
hardware capabilities, and there's no sign that nvidia are making
the investments to update it.
Most concretely, this means that there is no VP8/9 or HEVC Main10
support in VDPAU. On the other hand, NvDecode does export vp8/9 and
partial support for HEVC Main10 (more on that below).
ffmpeg already has support in the form of the "cuvid" family of
decoders. Due to the design of the API, it is best exposed as a full
decoder rather than an hwaccel. As such, there are decoders like
h264_cuvid, hevc_cuvid, etc.
These decoders support two output paths today - in both cases, NV12
frames are returned, either in CUDA device memory or regular system
memory.
In the case of the system memory path, the decoders can be used
as-is in mpv today with a command line like:
mpv --vd=lavc:h264_cuvid foobar.mp4
Doing this will take advantage of hardware decoding, but the cost
of the memcpy to system memory adds up, especially for high
resolution video (4K etc).
To avoid that, we need an hwdec that takes advantage of CUDA's
OpenGL interop to copy from device memory into OpenGL textures.
That is what this change implements.
The process is relatively simple as only basic device context
aquisition needs to be done by us - the CUDA buffer pool is managed
by the decoder - thankfully.
The hwdec looks a bit like the vdpau interop one - the hwdec
maintains a single set of plane textures and each output frame
is repeatedly mapped into these textures to pass on.
The frames are always in NV12 format, at least until 10bit output
supports emerges.
The only slightly interesting part of the copying process is that
CUDA works by associating PBOs, so we need to define these for
each of the textures.
TODO Items:
* I need to add a download_image function for screenshots. This
would do the same copy to system memory that the decoder's
system memory output does.
* There are items to investigate on the ffmpeg side. There appears
to be a problem with timestamps for some content.
Final note: I mentioned HEVC Main10. While there is no 10bit output
support, NvDecode can return dithered 8bit NV12 so you can take
advantage of the hardware acceleration.
This particular mode requires compiling ffmpeg with a modified
header (or possibly the CUDA 8 RC) and is not upstream in ffmpeg
yet.
Usage:
You will need to specify vo=opengl and hwdec=cuda.
Note that hwdec=auto will probably not work as it will try to use
vdpau first.
mpv --hwdec=cuda --vo=opengl foobar.mp4
If you want to use filters that require frames in system memory,
just use the decoder directly without the hwdec, as documented
above.
mixer.c didn't really deserve to be separate anymore, as half of its
contents were unnecessary glue code after recent changes. It also
created a weird split between audio.c and af.c due to the fact that
mixer.c could insert audio filters. With the code being in audio.c
directly, together with other code that unserts filters during runtime,
it will be possible to cleanup this code a bit and make it work like the
video filter code.
As part of this change, make the balance code work like the volume code,
and add an option to back the current balance value. Also, since the
balance semantics are unexpected for most users (panning between the
audio channels, instead of just changing the relative volume), and there
are some other volumes, formally deprecate both the old property and the
new option.
OK, this was dumb. The file didn't have much to do with ANGLE, and the
functionality can simply be moved to d3d.c. That file contains helpers
for decoding, but can always be present (on Windows) since it doesn't
access any D3D specific libavcodec APIs. Thus it doesn't need to be
conditionally built like the actual hwaccel wrappers.
Although D3D11 video decoding is unuspported on Windows 7, the
associated APIs almost work. Where they fail is texture creation, where
we try to create D3D11_BIND_DECODER surfaces. So specifically try to
detect this situation.
One issue is that once the hwdec interop is created, the damage is done,
and it can't use another backend (because currently only 1 hwdec backend
is supported). So that's where we prevent attempts to use it.
It still can fail when trying to use d3d11va-copy (since that doesn't
require an interop backend), but at that point we don't care anymore -
dxva2(-copy) is tried before that anyway.
We now have a video filter that uses the d3d11 video processor, so it
makes no sense to have one in the VO interop code. The VO uses it for
formats not directly supported by ANGLE (so the video data is converted
to a RGB texture, which ANGLE can take in).
Change this so that the video filter is automatically inserted if
needed. Move the code that maps RGB surfaces to its own inteorp backend.
Add a bunch of new image formats, which are used to enforce the new
constraints, and to automatically insert the filter only when needed.
The added vf mechanism to auto-insert the d3d11vpp filter is very dumb
and primitive, and will work only for this specific purpose. The format
negotiation mechanism in the filter chain is generally not very pretty,
and mostly broken as well. (libavfilter has a different mechanism, and
these mechanisms don't match well, so vf_lavfi uses some sort of hack.
It only works because hwaccel and non-hwaccel formats are strictly
separated.)
The RGB interop is now only used with older ANGLE versions. The only
reason I'm keeping it is because it's relatively isolated (uses only
existing mechanisms and adds no new concepts), and because I want to be
able to compare the behavior of the old code with the new one for
testing. It will be removed eventually.
If ANGLE has NV12 interop, P010 is now handled by converting to NV12
with the video processor, instead of converting it to RGB and using the
old mechanism to import that as a texture.
Main use: deinterlacing.
I'm not sure how to select the deinterlacing mode at all. You can
enumate the available video processors, but at least on Intel, all of
them either signal support for all deinterlacers, or none (the latter is
apparently used for IVTC). I haven't found anything that actually tells
the processor _which_ algorithm to use.
Another strange detail is how to select top/bottom fields and field
dominance. At least I'm getting quite similar results to vavpp on Linux,
so I'm content with it for now.
Future plans include removing the D3D11 video processor use from the
ANGLE interop code.
Move the handling of the future/past frames and the associated dataflow
rules to a separate source file.
While this on its own seems rather questionable and just inflates the
code, I intend to reuse it for other filters. The logic is annoying
enough that it shouldn't be duplicated a bunch of times.
(I considered other ways of sharing this logic, such as an uber-
deinterlace filter, which would access the hardware deinterlacer via a
different API. Although that sounds like kind of the right approach,
this would have other problems, so let's not, at least for now.)
This allows users to add their own near-arbitrary hooks to the vo_opengl
processing pipeline, greatly enhancing the flexibility of user shaders.
This enables, among other things, user shaders such as CrossBilateral,
SuperRes, LumaSharpen and many more.
To make parsing the user shaders easier, shaders are now loaded as
bstrs, and the hooks are set up during video reconfig instead of on
every single frame.
This merges all knowledge about texture format into a central table.
Most of the work done here is actually identifying which formats exactly
are supported by OpenGL(ES) under which circumstances, and keeping this
information in the format table in a somewhat declarative way. (Although
only to the extend needed by mpv.) In particular, ES and float formats
are a horrible mess.
Again this is a big refactor that might cause regression on "obscure"
configurations.
We don't have any reason to disable either. Both are loaded dynamically
at runtime anyway. There is also no reason why dxva2 would disappear
from libavcodec any time soon.
ANGLE is _really_ annoying to build. (Requires special toolchain and a
recent MSVC version.) This results in various issues with people
having trouble to build mpv against ANGLE (apparently linking it
against a prebuilt binary doesn't count, or using binaries from
potentially untrusted sources is not wanted).
Dynamically loading ANGLE is going to be a huge convenience. This commit
implements this, with special focus on keeping it source compatible to
a normal build with ANGLE linked at build-time.
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.
Basically this gets rid of the need for the accessors in d3d11va.h, and
the code can be cleaned up a little bit.
Note that libavcodec only defines a ID3D11VideoDecoderOutputView pointer
in the last plane pointers, but it tolerates/passes through the other
plane pointers we set.
This uses ID3D11VideoProcessor to convert the video to a RGBA surface,
which is then bound to ANGLE. Currently ANGLE does not provide any way
to bind nv12 surfaces directly, so this will have to do.
ID3D11VideoContext1 would give us slightly more control about the
colorspace conversion, though it's still not good, and not available
in MinGW headers yet.
The video processor is created lazily, because we need to have the coded
frame size, of which AVFrame and mp_image have no concept of. Doing the
creation lazily is less of a pain than somehow hacking the coded frame
size into mp_image.
I'm not really sure how ID3D11VideoProcessorInputView is supposed to
work. We recreate it on every frame, which is simple and hopefully
doesn't affect performance.
Use the recently added lavc_suffix mechanism to select the wrapper
decoder.
With all hwdec callbacks being optional, and RPI/Mediacodec having only
dummy callbacks, all the callbacks can be removed as well.
The result is that the vd_lavc_hwdec struct for both of them is tiny.
It's better to move them to vd_lavc.c directly, because they are so
trivial and small.
This commit adds the d3d11va-copy hwdec mode using the ffmpeg d3d11va
api. Functions in common with dxva2 are handled in a separate decode/d3d.c
file. A future commit will rewrite decode/dxva2.c to share this code.
This implements the JSON IPC protocol with named pipes, which are
probably the closest Windows equivalent to Unix domain sockets in terms
of functionality. Like with Unix sockets, this will allow mpv to listen
for IPC connections and handle multiple IPC clients at once. A few cross
platform libraries and frameworks (Qt, node.js) use named pipes for IPC
on Windows and Unix sockets on Linux and Unix, so hopefully this will
ease the creation of portable JSON IPC clients.
Unlike the Unix implementation, this doesn't share code with
--input-file, meaning --input-file on Windows won't understand JSON
commands (yet.) Sharing code and removing the separate implementation in
pipe-win32.c is definitely a possible future improvement.
Like dxinterop, this uses StretchRect or RGB conversion. This is unavoidable as
long as we use the dxva2 API, as there is no way to access the raw hardware
decoded Direct3D9 surfaces.
