This is not needed anymore, because we decided that the PAR of the
decoded video matters, and not the PAR of the filtered video that
arrives at the VO.
The configure followed 5 different convetions of defines because the next guy
always wanted to introduce a new better way to uniform it[1]. For an
hypothetic feature 'hurr' you could have had:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #undef CONFIG_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #define HAVE_DURR 0
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #define CONFIG_DURR 0
All is now uniform and uses:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1
* #define HAVE_DURR 0
We like definining to 0 as opposed to `undef` bcause it can help spot typos
and is very helpful when doing big reorganizations in the code.

Before, a VO could easily refuse to respond to VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME,
which means the VO wouldn't redraw OSD and window contents, and the
player would appear frozen to the user. This was a bit stupid, and makes
dealing with some corner cases much harder (think of --keep-open, which
was hard to implement, because the VO gets into this state if there are
no new video frames after a seek reset).
Change this, and require VOs to always react to VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME.
There are two aspects of this: First, behavior after a (successful)
vo_reconfig() call, but before any video frame has been displayed.
Second, behavior after a vo_seek_reset().
For the first issue, we define that sending VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME after
vo_reconfig() should clear the window with black. This requires minor
changes to some VOs. In particular vaapi makes this horribly
complicated, because OSD rendering is bound to a video surface. We
create a black dummy surface for this purpose.
The second issue is much simpler and works already with most VOs: they
simply redraw whatever has been uploaded previously. The exception is
vdpau, which has a complicated mechanism to track and filter video
frames. The state associated with this mechanism is completely cleared
with vo_seek_reset(), so implementing this to work as expected is not
trivial. For now, we just clear the window with black.
This affects VOs which just reuse the mp_image from draw_image() to
return screenshots. The aspect of these images is never different
from the aspect the screenshots should be, so there's no reason to
adjust the aspect in these cases.
Other VOs still need it in order to restore the original image
attributes.
This requires some changes to the video filter code to make sure that
the aspect in the passed mp_images is consistent.
The changes in mplayer.c and vd_lavc.c are (probably) not strictly
needed for this commit, but contribute to consistency.
Before this commit, mouse movement events emitted a special command
("set_mouse_pos"), which was specially handled in command.c. This was
once special-cased to the dvdnav and menu code, and did nothing after
libmenu and dvdnav were removed.
Change it so that mouse movement triggers a pseudo-key ("MOUSE_MOVE"),
which then can be bound to an arbitrary command. The mouse position is
now managed in input.c. A command which actually needs the mouse
position can use either mp_input_get_mouse_pos() or mp_get_osd_mouse_pos()
to query it. The former returns raw window-space coordinates, while the
latter returns coordinates transformed to OSD- space. (Both are the same
for most VOs, except vo_xv and vo_x11, which can't render OSD in
window-space. These require extra code for mapping mouse position.)
As of this commit, there is still nothing that uses mouse movement, so
MOUSE_MOVE is mapped to "ignore" to silence warnings when moving the
mouse (much like MOUSE_BTN0).
Extend the concept of input sections. Allow multiple sections to be
active at once, and organize them as stack. Bindings from the top of
the stack are preferred to lower ones.
Each section has a mouse input section associated, inside which mouse
events are associated with the bindings. If the mouse pointer is
outside of a section's mouse area, mouse events will be dispatched to
an input section lower on the stack of active sections. This is intended
for scripting, which is to be added later. Two scripts could occupy
different areas of the screen without conflicting with each other. (If
it turns out that this mechanism is useless, we'll just remove it
again.)
The vo_x11_clearwindow_part() function assumed that the video is always
centered. Replace it with a new vo_x11_clear_background() function
instead, which essentially does the same as the old function. It takes
the video rectangle instead of just the video size, and doesn't have to
make the assumption that the video rectangle is centered.
Also make vo_x11 use it (seems advantageous).
The draw_osd change is a bit tricky: I guess originally, there was some
intention not to second-guess the generic aspect code, but the result is
the same and the code is more confusing.
Separate the video output options from the big MPOpts structure and also only
pass the new mp_vo_opts structure to the vo backend.
Move video_driver_list into mp_vo_opts
Removes almost every global variabel in vo.h and puts them in a special struct
in MPOpts for video output related options.
Also we completly remove the options/globals pts and refresh rate because
they were unused.
VFCAP_OSD was used to determine at runtime whether the VO supports OSD
rendering. This was mostly unused. vo_direct3d had an option to disable
OSD (was supposed to allow to force auto-insertion of vf_ass, but we
removed that anyway). vo_opengl_old could disable OSD rendering when a
very old OpenGL version was detected, and had an option to explicitly
disable it as well.
Remove VFCAP_OSD from everything (and some associated logic). Now the
vo_driver.draw_osd callback can be set to NULL to indicate missing OSD
support (important so that vo_null etc. don't single-step on OSD
redraw), and if OSD support depends on runtime support, the VO's
draw_osd should just do nothing if OSD is not available.
Also, do not access vo->want_redraw directly. Change the want_redraw
reset logic for this purpose, too. (Probably unneeded, vo_flip_page
resets it already.)
create_window is really bad naming, because this function can be called
multiple times, while the name implies that it always creates a new
window. At least the name config_window is not actively misleading.
Don't force VOs to pick an arbitrary default Visual and Colormap. They
still can override them if needed. This simplifies the X11 VO interface.
Always create a Colormap for simplicity. Using CopyFromParent fails if
the selected visual is not the same of that of the parent window, which
happens for me with vo_opengl.
vo_vdpau and vo_xv explicitly set CWBorderPixel, do that in x11_common
instead (it was already done for native windows, but not for slave mode
windows).
What gl_common did was incorrect in theory: freeing a colormap while a
window uses it will change the colormap of the window to "None", and
the color mapping for such windows is "undefined".
Some parts for initiating mode switches were duplicated in every VO
supporting X11 (except vo_opengl/gl_common, which didn't support mode
switching). Move this to x11_common.c.
Note that this might be slightly risky: is it really guaranteed that no
VO needed to do "special" setup that depends on X parameters changing
after a mode switch, such as bit depth, visuals etc.? From what I can
see, this shouldn't be the case (X probably can't even change depth on
the fly). Even if this should be a one-way road, VM switching is in
general very useless, and its implementation buggy, so it can just be
removed should unfixable problems arise.
Move things that are used by vo_xv only into vo_xv, same for vo_x11.
Rename some functions exported by x11_common, like vo_init to
vo_x11_common. Make functions not used outsode of x11_common.c private
to that file. Eliminate all global variables defined by x11_common
(except error handler and colormap stuff).
There shouldn't be any functional changes, and only code is moved
around. There are some minor simplifications in the X11 init code, as
we completely remove the ability to initialize X11 and X11+VO
separately (see commit b4d9647 "mplayer: do not create X11 state in player frontend"),
and the respective functions are conflated into vo_x11_init() and
vo_x11_uninit().
Exactly the same issue as with the previous commit. Just like the vdpau
code, this was apparently copy-pasted from the vo_x11 code, even though
it doesn't make much sense.
redraw_frame() copied the image into the currently visible buffer. This
resulted in flicker when doing heavy OSD redrawing (like changing the
subtitle size to something absurdly large).
Use the same logic as draw_image instead.
In order to support OSD redrawing for vo_xv and vo_x11, draw_bmp.c
included an awkward "backup" mechanism to copy and restore image
regions that have been changed by OSD/subtitles.
Replace this by a much simpler mechanism: keep a reference to the
original image, and use that to restore the Xv/X framebuffers.
In the worst case, this may increase cache pressure and memory usage,
even if no OSD or subtitles are rendered. In practice, it seems to be
always faster.
mplayer's video chain traditionally used FourCCs for pixel formats. For
example, it used IMGFMT_YV12 for 4:2:0 YUV, which was defined to the
string 'YV12' interpreted as unsigned int. Additionally, it used to
encode information into the numeric values of some formats. The RGB
formats had their bit depth and endian encoded into the least
significant byte. Extended planar formats (420P10 etc.) had chroma
shift, endian, and component bit depth encoded. (This has been removed
in recent commits.)
Replace the FourCC mess with a simple enum. Remove all the redundant
formats like YV12/I420/IYUV. Replace some image format names by
something more intuitive, most importantly IMGFMT_YV12 -> IMGFMT_420P.
Add img_fourcc.h, which contains the old IDs for code that actually uses
FourCCs. Change the way demuxers, that output raw video, identify the
video format: they set either MP_FOURCC_RAWVIDEO or MP_FOURCC_IMGFMT to
request the rawvideo decoder, and sh_video->imgfmt specifies the pixel
format. Like the previous hack, this is supposed to avoid the need for
a complete codecs.cfg entry per format, or other lookup tables. (Note
that the RGB raw video FourCCs mostly rely on ffmpeg's mappings for NUT
raw video, but this is still considered better than adding a raw video
decoder - even if trivial, it would be full of annoying lookup tables.)
The TV code has not been tested.
Some corrective changes regarding endian and other image format flags
creep in.
These functions weren't specific to video filters and were misplaced
in vf.c. Move them to mp_image.c.
Fix the big endian test in vf_mpi_clear/mp_image_clear, which has been
messed up in 74df1d.
Remove mp_image.width/height. The w/h members are the ones to use.
width/height were used internally by vf_get_image(), and sometimes for
other purposes.
Remove some image flags, most of which are now useless or completely
unused. This includes VFCAP_ACCEPT_STRIDE: the vf_expand insertion in
vf.c does nothing.
Remove some other unused mp_image fields.
Some rather messy changes in vo_opengl[_old] to get rid of legacy
mp_image flags and fields. This is left from when vo_gl supported DR.
Setting the size of a mp_image must be done with mp_image_set_size()
now. Do this to guarantee that the redundant fields (like chroma_width)
are updated consistently. Replacing the redundant fields by function
calls would probably be better, but there are too many uses of them,
and is a bit less convenient.
Most code actually called mp_image_setfmt(), which did this as well.
This commit just makes things a bit more explicit.
Warning: the video filter chain still sets up mp_images manually,
and vf_get_image() is not updated.
Slices allowed filtering or drawing video in horizontal bands or
blocks. This allowed working on the video in smaller units. In theory,
this could bring a performance win by lowering cache pressure, as you
didn't have to keep the whole video frame in cache while filtering,
only the slice.
In practice, the slice code path was barely used for the following
reasons:
- Multithreaded decoding with ffmpeg didn't use slices. The ffmpeg
slice callback was disabled, because it can be called from another
thread, and the mplayer video chain is not thread-safe.
- There was nothing that would turn "full" images into appropriate
slices, so slices were rarely used.
- Most filters didn't actually support slices.
On the other hand, supporting slices lead to code duplication and more
complex code in general. I made some experiments and didn't find any
actual measurable performance improvements when using slices. Even
ffmpeg removed slices based filtering from libavfilter in favor of
simpler code.
The most broken thing about the slices code path is that slices can't
be queued, like it is done for images in vo.c.
Remove VOCTRL_DRAW_IMAGE and always set vo_driver.draw_image in VOs.
Make draw_image mandatory: change some VOs (like vo_x11) to support it,
and remove the image-to-slices fallback in vf_vo.
Remove vo_driver.is_new. This member indicated whether draw_image is
supported unconditionally, which is now always the case.
draw_image_pts is a hack until the video filter chain is changed to
include the PTS as field in mp_image. Then vo_vdpau and vo_lavc will
be changed to use draw_image.
To get guaranteed alignment for the chroma planes with typical YV12
playback, we have to double the alignment on the image width, as the
chroma planes have half the image width.
Clear the image with black instead of green to hide scaling artifacts
on the right border of the screen.
(It might be possible to create the image layout ourselves by not
calling XvShmCreateImage(), and filling in our own image width and exact
strides, but that's probably too risky: the Xv client library sends an
X protocol request to query the real image dimension and strides. It is
unknown to me whether X servers or drivers would generally accept an
image with mismatching parameters, even if the image is conceptually
valid.)
Allocate the image with av_malloc() in the non-SHM case. I suspect the
non-SHM case doesn't matter much, though.
This is required, as the Xv image is directly used for rendering OSD and
taking screenshots. These involve libswscale, which wants aligned
strides.
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to request aligned strides from Xv.
Simply request an image with an aligned width, which usually results in
an aligned stride. The padding border remains invisible.
One caveat is that if padding is added, there might be scaling artifacts
on the right pixel border of the screen. This is at least the case with
nvidia binary drivers. Since we consider vo_xv a sensible choice only on
crappy/slow hardware, performance is more important than quality.
In order to improve performance, vo_xv didn't create a backup of the
video frame before drawing OSD and subtitles during normal playback. It
required the frontend to do frame stepping if it wanted to redraw the
OSD, but no backup of the video frame was available. (Consider the
following use case: enable the OSD permanently with --osd-level=3, then
pause during playback and do something that shows an OSD message. The
player will advance the video by one frame at the time the new OSD
message is first drawn.)
This also meant that taking a screenshot during playback with vo_xv
would include OSD and subtitles in the resulting image.
Fix this by always creating a backup before drawing OSD or subtitles.
In order to avoid having to create a full copy of the whole image frame,
introduce a complex scheme that tries to backup only the changed
regions.
It's unclear whether the additional complexity in draw_bmp.c for
backing up only the changed areas of the frame is worth it. Possibly
a simpler implementation would suffice, such as tracking only Y ranges
of changed image data, or even just copying the full frame.
vo_xv's get_screenshot() now always creates a copy in order not to
modify the currently displayed frame.
The -zoom option enabled scaling with vo_x11. Remove the -zoom option,
and make its behavior default. Since vo_x11 has to use libswscale for
colorspace conversion anyway, which doesn't do actual extra scaling when
vo_x11 is run in windowed mode, there should be no speed difference with
this change.
The code removed from vf_scale attempted to scale the video to d_width/
d_height, which matters for anamorphic video and the --xy option only.
vo_x11 can handle these natively. The only case for which the removed
vf_scale code could matter is encoding with vo_lavc, but since that
didn't set VOFLAG_SWSCALE, nothing actually changes.
Finish renaming directories and moving files. Adjust all include
statements to make the previous commit compile.
The two commits are separate, because git is bad at tracking renames
and content changes at the same time.
Also take this as an opportunity to remove the separation between
"common" and "mplayer" sources in the Makefile. ("common" used to be
shared between mplayer and mencoder.)
Tis drops the silly lib prefixes, and attempts to organize the tree in
a more logical way. Make the top-level directory less cluttered as
well.
Renames the following directories:
libaf -> audio/filter
libao2 -> audio/out
libvo -> video/out
libmpdemux -> demux
Split libmpcodecs:
vf* -> video/filter
vd*, dec_video.* -> video/decode
mp_image*, img_format*, ... -> video/
ad*, dec_audio.* -> audio/decode
libaf/format.* is moved to audio/ - this is similar to how mp_image.*
is located in video/.
Move most top-level .c/.h files to core. (talloc.c/.h is left on top-
level, because it's external.) Park some of the more annoying files
in compat/. Some of these are relicts from the time mplayer used
ffmpeg internals.
sub/ is not split, because it's too much of a mess (subtitle code is
mixed with OSD display and rendering).
Maybe the organization of core is not ideal: it mixes playback core
(like mplayer.c) and utility helpers (like bstr.c/h). Should the need
arise, the playback core will be moved somewhere else, while core
contains all helper and common code.
