In many places, flags options have duplicate descriptions like
--break-player and --no-break-player. This is redundant since the
equivalence of this syntax to --break-player=<yes|no> is already
documented, and the =<yes|no> syntax is more in line with the syntax
of other option types.
This replaces all usage of --no-foobar with --foobar=no, and use
--foobar=<yes|no> when possible.
As the first aligned format this required a fix to reconfig().
Adding the other component-swapped formats in this group would be trivial
but I checked the DRM database [1] and no driver exists that supports
one of those but not YUYV and this is quite fringe as-is, so I opted not to.

vo_rpi and its related code has pretty much historically been a
disaster in mpv. The build regularly gets broken and since nobody uses
it, it takes months for anyone to notice. There was also that time where
fullscreen was broken for about a year and a half. Also building in waf
was entirely broken for about a couple of years or so due to mysterious
reasons no one ever figured out (meson magically fixed it).
Anyways, once again the build is broken due to rpi being forgotten about
again, but instead of pretending to support this crap. Just drop it all.
Nowadays, mmal hwdec is a relic since these devices are better off using
the v4l2m2m ffmpeg fork instead which actually uses KMS properly. RPI 1
and 2 probably can't do this and will remain broken but oh well blame
Broadcom for being special snowflakes and not using standard APIs (my
rockpro worked out of the box; just saying). RPI 2 is nearly 10 years
old anyways, so I think you can afford a new SBC by now. If we were
nicer, there would be a deprecation period, but this is broken in the
last major release anyway so too late.
Closes#13402.
Very amusingly, the manual previously said "The rpi VO will be removed
in mpv 0.23.0." Obviously, this didn't happen. It looks like wm4 changed
his mind on this with 51fd8f6fe1, but
never updated the docs. What was the problem? Who knows but allegedly
there are people that use --vo=rpi (it's supposed to work at least).
Actually context_rpi is probably broken since wm4 changed fullscreen
handling in 59cdfe50b2 and no one ever
bothered to fix it after that commit. In fact, that's the last commit
that touched that particular file. Someone did actually fix vo_rpi after
that so that one probably works at least. Anyways, I wouldn't mind just
deleting all rpi stuff, but there's probably some people out there that
use it so whatever. Remove the outdated deprecated language in the
documentation and just accept that we support this unfortunately.
Make it clearer that you should be using --hwdec with this VO. Also make
some comments about the things that are required for this to work
correctly (i.e. working drivers/GPU and the right compositor).
This adds osd support via shm buffers using a similar approach that the
normal buffers do, but it differs in a few key areas. One thing to note
is that sway and weston actually handle this extremely differently which
required all the abstractions here. In particular, weston does not cope
well with destroying the wl_buffer from shm outside of the release
handler at all (i.e. it segfaults). The workaround here is to simply
attach a NULL to the osd surface and do a surface commit before we
destroy the buffers. This is reasonable enough and seems to work well
although it's pretty weird. Sway is more straightforward although it
actually releases the osd buffer when the window goes out of sight.
Also, I found that it doesn't always release every buffer before you
close it unlike weston seems to do which is part of the reason all this
bookkeeping is required. I don't know if there's any other compositor
out there that can possibly handle vo_dmabuf_wayland right now, but
suffering through these two is good enough for now I think.

This makes no attempt at querying terminal features or handling
terminal errors, as it would require mpv to pass the response codes
from the terminal to the vo instead of interpreting them as
keystrokes made by the user and acting very unpredictably.
Tested with kitty and konsole.
Fixes#9605
The legacy DRM API adds some complexity to the DRM code. There
are only 4 drivers that do not support the DRM Atomic API:
1. radeon (early GCN amd cards)
2. gma500 (ancient intel GPUs)
3. ast (ASPEED SoCs)
4. nouveau
Going forward, new DRM drivers will be guaranteed to support the atomic
API so this is a safe removal.
We've had some annoying names for interops, which we can't simply
rename because that would break config files and command lines. So we
need to put a little more effort in and add a concept of legacy names
that allow us to continue loading them, but with a warning.
The two I'm renaming here are:
* vaapi-egl -> vaapi (vaapi works with Vulkan too)
* drmprime-drm -> drmprime-overlay (actually describes what it does)
* cuda-nvdec -> cuda (cuda interop is not nvdec specific)
This driver makes use of dmabuffer and viewporter interfaces
to enable efficient display of vaapi surfaces, avoiding
any unnecessary colour space conversion, and avoiding scaling
or colour conversion using GPU shader resources.
Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), aka Freesync or Adaptive Sync can be used
with DRM by setting the VRR_ENABLED property on a crtc if the
connector reports that it is VRR_CAPABLE. This is a useful feature
for us as it is common to play 24/25/50 fps content on displays that
are nominally locked to 60Hz. VRR can allow this content to play at
native framerates.
This is a simple change as we just need to check the capability
and set the enabled property if requested by the user. I've defaulted
it to disabled for now, but it might make sense to default to auto
in the long term.
The documentation's current discussion of hwdec usage is out of date,
and unnecessarily pessemistic when applied to modern hardware. The
reality is that modern APIs on modern hardware produce reasonable
results and there's no need to pretend otherwise. The current language
that tries to drive people away from using hwdecs at all leads to them
making bad choices when they do try to use it.
Let's also make it clearer that users should use vo=gpu with hwdecs
rather than vo=vaapi or vo=vdpau. Even the existing admonitions have
proven insufficient, so let's strengthen that language.
There are two major ways of going about this:
1. Expose the native ra_gl/ra_pl/ra_d3d11 objects to the pre-existing
hwdec mappers, and then add code in vo_gpu_next to rewrap those
ra_tex objects into pl_tex.
2. Wrap the underlying pl_opengl/pl_d3d11 into a ra_pl object and expose
it to the hwdec mappers, then directly use the resulting pl_tex.
I ultimately opted for approach 1 because it enables compatibility with
more hardware decoders, specifically including ones that use native
OpenGL calls currently. The second approach only really works with
cuda_vk and vaapi_pl.
I was initially hesitant to link to an external article from the manpage
but a lot of other places in the man page already do something like
this, and it really makes more sense to have this as a wiki article
rather than trying to keep the manpage up-to-date by hand, since this
evolves quickly and the two are expected to converge over time.
As discussed in #8799, this will eventually replace vo_gpu. However, it
is not yet complete. Currently missing:
- OpenGL contexts
- hardware decoding
- blend-subtitles=video
- VOCTRL_SCREENSHOT
However, it's usable enough to cover most use cases, and as such is
enough to start getting in some crucial testing.
Apple has decided that Mac OS X is now named macOS for the time
being. For consistency, it makes sense to use the same name for the
operating system in all places where it occurs. This commit renames
OS X to macOS in the documentation in places where it was otherwise
still using the old name.
For two reasons:
1. It was counter intuitive that there's an "auto" value (which is
actually a libsixel value and not an mpv one), but it's not the
default value - our default was Atkinson.
2. "auto" provides better dithering than Atkinson with libsixel, which
is especially noticeable with smooth gradients - where Atkinson has
visible banding.
In libsixel 1.8.2 the "auto" value maps to Atkinson if the output
palette has up to 16 colors, or to Floyd-Steinberg otherwise (e.g.
using fixed palette with 256 colors chooses Floyd-Steinberg).
The issue was that we only uploaded the palette to the terminal when it
changed (once on init with fixed palette, every frame with dynamic
palette with trheshold=-1, only on scene change with threshold >= 0).
Now we upload it on every frame, and it seems to fix the mlterm image
corruption both with fixed palette and also with dynamic palette with
threshold (i.e. at frames which did not upload a palette).
It's not entirely clear why it's required with mlterm.
It would seem that the palette which libsixel uses with fixed palette
matches the built in default palette in xterm, but not in mlterm.
With dynamic palette we can guess that mlterm resets the palette after a
sixel image, but that's not confirmed.
Uploading the palette on every frame doesn't seem to slow down xterm
when using fixed palette - not clear yet why uploading a different
palette (when using fixedpalette=no) slows it down while same palette
on every frame doesn't.
In mlterm there's no slowdown either way - and now also no corruption.
By default we still clear the screen, but now it's possible to leave the
last sixel image on screen.
Allows mpv to be used as img2sixel of sorts, but with our auto-fit and
various mpv scaling/filters etc.
Resize the image based on the dimensions reported by
vo_get_src_dst_rects to correctly handle aspect ratio
that might be set/ignored.
Added pad-x and pad-y options for padding.
These options will be used to remove the extra padding.
Some terminals report the padding of 2px in the ioctl
dimensions which can't be used for displaying sixel
output. These options can be used for fine tuning
the output video resolution.
Now all the terminal size detection and calculation logic
is done in a single function at resize. Also top and left
values are computed from the dst_rect parameters to simplify
the logic for the aspect ratio based centering.
Additionally vo-sixel-rows and vo-sixel-cols options
have been added to enable the user to override the values
in case of failures with get_terminal_size2.
This commit also adds ability to handle video zoom correctly.
Whenever video-zoom is triggered, the src and dst rects
will be updated. Scaling seems to work well now.
Based on the implementation of ffmpeg's sixel backend output written
by Hayaki Saito
https://github.com/saitoha/FFmpeg-SIXEL/blob/sixel/libavdevice/sixel.c
Sixel is a protocol to display graphics in a terminal. This commit
adds support to play videos on a sixel enabled terminal using libsixel.
With --vo=sixel, the output will be in sixel format.
The input frame will be scaled to the user specified resolution
(--vo-sixel-width and --vo-sixel-height) using swscaler and then
encoded using libsixel and output to the terminal. This method
requires high cpu and there are high frame drops for 720p and
higher resolution videos and might require using lesser colors and
have drop in quality. Docs have all the supported options listed
to fine tune the output quality.
TODO: A few parameters of libsixel such as the sixel_encode_policy
and the SIXEL_XTERM16 variables are hardcoded, might want to
expose them as command line options. Also the initialization
resolution is not automatic and if the user doesn't specify the
dimensions, it picks 320x240 as the default resolution which is not
optimal. So need to automatically pick the best fit resolution for
the current open terminal window size.
This isn't useful anymore. We have a much better d3d11 renderer in
vo_gpu. D3D11 is available in all supported Windows versions. The
StretchRect path might still be useful for someone (???), and leaving it
at least evades conflict about users who want to keep using this VO for
inexplicable reasons. (Low power usage might be a justified reason, but
still, no.)
Also fuck the win32 platform, it's a heap of stinky shit. Microsoft is
some sort of psycho clown software company. Granted, maybe still better
than much of the rest of Silly Con Valley.
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.
vo_wayland was removed during the wayland rewrite done in 0.28. However,
it is still useful for systems that do not have OpenGL.
The new wayland_common code makes vo_wayland much simpler, and
eliminates many of the issues the previous vo_wayland had.
