This was used by some VOs to do timing of cursor autohiding, but we
recently moved that out of the VOs. Even though this mechanism might
be a good idea and could be needed again in future (but for what?),
it's unused now. So better just get rid of it.
Use VOCTRL_CHECK_EVENTS instead. Change the remaining VOs to use it.
Only vo_sdl and vo_caca actually need this, and vo_null, vo_lavc, and
vo_image had stubs only.
Instead of having separate callbacks for each backend-handled feature
(like MPGLContext.fullscreen, MPGLContext.border, etc.), pass the
VOCTRL responsible for this directly to the backend. This allows
removing a bunch of callbacks, that currently must be set even for
optional/lesser features (like VOCTRL_BORDER).
This requires changes to all VOs using gl_common, as well as all
backends that support gl_common.
Also introduce VOCTRL_CHECK_EVENTS. vo.check_events is now optional.
VO backends can use VOCTRL_CHECK_EVENTS instead to implementing
check_events. This has the advantage that the event handling code in
VOs doesn't have to be duplicated if vo_control() is used.
gl_video.c contains all rendering code, gl_lcms.c the .icc loader and
creation of 3D LUT (and all LittleCMS specific code). vo_opengl.c is
reduced to interfacing between the various parts.
If that's what the user asked for, there's no reason to introduce
special cases to ignore it on fullscreen.
The old behavior is perhaps accidentally due to the fact that aspect
calculations used to be disabled in windowed mode, rather than a
deliberate decision.
Remove lots of weird logic and dead code.
The only difference is that when specifying a monitor aspect ratio, it
will always upscale and never downscale.
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.
When paused, --cursor-autohide worked with a precision of 500ms, which
is the main loop's default sleep time when paused. Cursor hiding is
polled in x11_common, and the main loop never called the X11 code at
the right time. Fix this by allowing the VO to set a time when it
should be called next.
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.)
This allowed making the player switch the monitor video mode when
creating the video window. This was a questionable feature, and with
today's LCD screens certainly not useful anymore. Switching to a random
video mode (going by video width/height) doesn't sound too useful
either.
I'm not sure about the win32 implementation, but the X part had several
bugs. Even in mplayer-svn (where x11_common.c hasn't been receiving any
larger changes for a long time), this code is buggy and doesn't do the
right thing anyway. (And what the hell _did_ it do when using multiple
physical monitors?)
If you really want this, write a shell script that calls xrandr before
and after calling mpv.
vo_sdl still can do mode switching, because SDL has native support for
it, and using it is trivial. Add a new sub-option for this.
You can just use --wid=0 if you really want this.
This only worked/works for X11, and even then it might interact badly
with most desktop environments. All the option did was setting --wid to
0, and the property did nothing.
mpv -ao help and mpv -vo help shouldn't show the encoding outputs (named
"lavc" on both cases). Also make it impossible to select these manually
when not encoding.
Basically, move vo_opengl above the other VOs (except vo_vdpau). This
changes preferences on Windows and Linux.
Move vo_opengl_old further down and make it the last fallback (before
vo_x11).
vo_caca is crap (no pun intended), and should never be autoprobed.
-x/-y were rather useless and obscure. The only use I can see is
forcing a specific aspect ratio without having to calculate the aspect
ratio float value (although --aspect takes values of the form w:h).
This can be also done with --geometry and --no-keepaspect. There was
also a comment that -x/-y is useful for -vm, although I don't see how
this is useful as it still messes up aspect ratio.
-xy is mostly obsolete. It does two things: a) set the window width to
a pixel value, b) scale the window size by a factor. a) is already done
by --autofit (--autofit=num does exactly the same thing as --xy=num, if
num >= 8). b) is not all that useful, so we just drop that
functionality.
--autofit=WxH sets the window size to a maximum width and/or height,
without changing the window's aspect ratio.
--autofit-larger=WxH does the same, but only if the video size is
actually larger than the window size that would result when using
the --autofit=WxH option with the same arguments.
This also means the option is verified on program start, not when the VO
is created. The actual code becomes a bit more complex, because the
screen width/height is not available at program start.
The actual parsing code is still the same, with its unusual sscanf()
usage.
Now the calculations of the final display size are done after the filter
chain. This makes the difference between display aspect ratio and window
size a bit more clear, especially in the -xy case.
With an empty filter chain, the behavior of the options should be the
same, except that they don't affect vo_image and vo_lavc anymore.
Change the entire filter API to use reference counted images instead
of vf_get_image().
Remove filter "direct rendering". This was useful for vf_expand and (in
rare cases) vf_sub: DR allowed these filters to pass a cropped image to
the filters before them. Then, on filtering, the image was "uncropped",
so that black bars could be added around the image without copying. This
means that in some cases, vf_expand will be slower (-vf gradfun,expand
for example).
Note that another form of DR used for in-place filters has been replaced
by simpler logic. Instead of trying to do DR, filters can check if the
image is writeable (with mp_image_is_writeable()), and do true in-place
if that's the case. This affects filters like vf_gradfun and vf_sub.
Everything has to support strides now. If something doesn't, making a
copy of the image data is required.
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.
This mainly serves as a fallback for platforms where nothing better is
available; also as a debugging help. Both the audio and video driver are
not first class - the audio driver lacks delay detection, and the video
driver only supports a single YUV color space.
Configure options: --disable-sdl2 to disable SDL 2.0+ detection,
--disable-sdl to disable SDL 1.2+ detection. Both options need to be
specified to turn off SDL support entirely.
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.
