This can be useful in other contexts.
Note that we end up setting AVCodecContext.width/height instead of
coded_width/coded_height now. AVCodecParameters can't set coded_width,
but this is probably more correct anyway.
The FFmpeg versions we support all have the APIs we were checking for.
Only Libav missed them. Simplify this by explicitly checking for FFmpeg
in the code, instead of trying to detect the presence of the API.
Tried to decode a High 4:2:2 file, since libavcodec code seemed to
indicate that it's supported. Well, it decodes to garbage.
I couldn't find out why ffmpeg.c actually appears to reject this
correctly. The API seems to be fine with, just that the output is
garbage.
Add a hack for now.
Successful decoding of a frame resets ctx->hwdec_fail_count to 0 - which
us ok, but prevents fallback if it fails if --vd-lavc-software-fallback
is set to something higher than 1.
Just fail it immediately, since failing here always indicates some real
error (or OOM), not e.g. a video parsing error or such, which we try to
tolerate via the error counter.
Use the libavutil vdpau frame allocation code instead of our own "old"
code. This also uses its code for copying a video surface to normal
memory (used by vdpau-copy).
Since vdpau doesn't really have an internal pixel format, 4:2:0 can be
accessed as both nv12 and yuv420p - and libavutil prefers to report
yuv420p. The OpenGL interop has to be adjusted accordingly.
Preemption is a potential problem, but it doesn't break it more than it
already is.
This requires a bug fix to FFmpeg's vdpau code, or vdpau-copy (as well
as taking screenshots) will fail. Libav has fixed this bug ages ago.
In a way it can be reused. For now, sw_format and initial_pool_size
determination are still vaapi-specific. I'm hoping this can be eventally
moved to libavcodec in some way. Checking the supported_formats array is
not really vaapi-specific, and could be moved to the generic code path
too, but for now it would make things more complex.
hw_cuda.c can't use this, but hw_vdpau.c will in the following commit.
If hardware decoding is enabled (via --hwdec anything), the player was
printing an informational message that software decdoing is used.
Basically, this confuses users, because they think there is a problem or
such. Just disable the message, it's semi-useless anyway.
This was suggested on IRC, after yet another user was asking why this
message was shown (with a follow up discussion which CPUs can decode
what kind of video codecs).
There are going to be users who have a Mesa installation which do not
support 10 bit, but a GPU which can decode to 10 bit. So it's probably
better not to hardcode whether it is supported.
Introduce a more general way to signal supported formats from renderer
to decoder. Obviously this is imperfect, because it still isn't part of
proper format negotation (for example, what if there's a vavpp filter,
which accepts anything). Still slightly better than before.
I don't know any way to probe for vaapi dmabuf/EGL dmabuf support
properly (in particular testing specific formats, not just general
availability). So we stay with the current approach and try to create
and map dummy surfaces on init to probe for support. Overdo it and check
all formats that AVHWFramesConstraints reports, instead of only NV12 and
P010 surfaces.
Since we can support unknown formats now, add explicitly checks to the
EGL/dmabuf mapper code to reject unsupported formats. I also noticed
that libavutil signals support for RGB0/BGR0, but couldn't get it to
work. Remove the DRM formats that are unused/didn't work the way I tried
to use them.
With this, 10 bit decoding + rendering should work, provided you have
a capable CPU and a patched Mesa. The required Mesa patch adds support
for the R16 and GR32 formats. It was sent by a Kodi developer to the
Mesa developer mailing list and was not accepted yet.
For convenience. Since we still have code that works even if creating a
AVHWDeviceContext fails, failure is ignored. (Although currently, it
succeeds creation even with the stale/abandoned vdpau wrapper driver.)
Rendering support in Mesa probably doesn't exist yet. In theory it might
be possible to use VPP to convert the surfaces to 8 bit (like we do it
with dxva2/d3d11va as ANGLE doesn't support rendering 10 bit surface
either), but that too would require explicit mechanisms. This can't be
implemented either until I have a GPU with actual support.
Other hwdecs will also be able to use this (as soon as they are switched
to use AVHWFramesContext).
As an additional feature, failing to copy back the frame counts as
hardware decoding failure and can trigger fallback. This can be done
easily now, because it needs no way to communicate this from the hwaccel
glue code to the common code.
The old code is still required for the old decode API, until we either
drop or rewrite it. vo_vaapi.c's OSD code (fuck...) also uses these
surface functions to a higher degree.
Mostly affects conversion of the colorimetric parameters.
Not changing AV_FRAME_DATA_MASTERING_DISPLAY_METADATA handling - that's
too messy, as decoders typically output it for keyframes only, and would
require weird caching that can't even be done on the level of the frame
rewrapping functions.
This fixes direct rendering with hwdec_vaegl.c.
The code duplication between update_image_params() and
mp_image_copy_fields_from_av_frame() is quite annoying,
bit will have to be resolved in another commit.
AVHWDeviceContext.user_opaque is reserved to libavutil under certain
circumstances, while AVHWFramesContext.user_opaque is truly free for use
by us. It's slightly simpler too.
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.
This is simpler and more robust, especially for the hwdec fallback case.
The most annoying issue is that C doesn't support multiple return values
(or sum types), so the decode call gets all awkward.
The hwdec fallback case does not need to try to produce some output
after the fallback anymore. Instead, it can use the normal "replay"
code path.
We invert the "eof" bool that vd_lavc.c used internally. The
receive_frame decoder API returns the inverse of EOF, because
returning "true" from the decode function if EOF was reached
feels awkward.
Usually they happen at the same time, but conflating them is still a bit
unclean and could possibly cause problems in the future. It's also
really unnecessary.
The ffmpeg cuda wrappers need more than 1 packet for determining whether
hw decoding will work. So do something complicated and keep up to 32
packets when trying to do hw decoding, and replay the packets on the
software decoder if it doesn't work.
This code was written in a delirious state, testing for regressions and
determining whether this is worth the trouble will follow later. All mpv
git users are alpha testers as of this moment.
Fixes#3914.
Cover art handling is a disgusting hack that causes a mess in all
components. And this will stay this way. This is the Xth time I've
changed cover art handling, and that will probably also continue.
But change the code such that cover art is injected into the demux
packet stream, instead of having an explicit special case it in the
decoder glue code. (This is somewhat more similar to the cover art hack
in libavformat.)
To avoid that the over art picture is decoded again on each seek, we
need some additional "caching" in player/video.c. Decoding it after each
seek would work as well, but since cover art pictures can be pretty
huge, it's probably ok to invest some lines of code into caching it.
One weird thing is that the cover art packet will remain queued after
seeks, but that is probably not an issue.
In exchange, we can drop the dec_video.c code, which is pretty
convenient for one of the following commits. This code duplicates a
bunch of lower-level decode calls and does icky messing with this weird
state stuff, so I'm glad it goes away.
Conceptually cleaner, although the API claims this is equivalent.
Originally, AVCodecContext fields were used, because not all supported
libavcodec/libavutil versions had the AVFrame fields.
This is not done for chroma_sample_location - it has no AVFrame field.
Helps with gif, probably does unwanted things with other formats.
This doesn't handle --end quite correctly, but this could be added
later.
Fixes#3924.
Needs explicit logic. Fixes a pretty bad regression which prefers
vdpau-copy over native vaapi with direct rendering (with --hwdec=auto)
if libvdpau-va-gl1 is present. The reason is that vdpau-copy is above
vaapi, simply because all vdpau hwdecs are grouped and happened to be
listed before vaapi.
Although this is not that bad for copy-mode (unlike the case described
above), it's still a good idea to use our native vaapi code instead.
The latest 375.xx nvidia drivers add support for P016 output
surfaces. In combination with an ffmpeg change to return those
surfaces, we can display them.
The bulk of the work is related to knowing which format you're
dealing with at the right time. Once you know, it's straight forward.
At least with Nvidia drivers, some thread tries to access D3D11 objects
after ANGLE unloads d3d11.dll. Fix this by holding a reference to
d3d11.dll ourselves.
Might fix the crash in #3348. (I wish I knew why though.)
This is a bit unintuitiv, but it appears hwdec backends have to unset
hwdec_priv manually in their uninit function. Normally with this idiom
you'd expect the common code to do this (and maybe even freeing the priv
struct). Since other hwdec backends do this quite consistently, just fix
vdpau for now.
Also add an assert to detect similar bugs sooner.
Fixes#3788.
Implementation-wise, the values from the demuxer/codec header are merged
with the values from the decoder such that the former are used only
where the latter are unknown (0/auto).
At this point, all other hwaccels provide -copy modes, and vdpau is the
exception with not having one. Although there is vf_vdpaurb, it's less
convenient in certain situations, and exposes some issues with the
filter chain code as well.
Both AVFrame.pts and AVFrame.pkt_pts have existed for a long time. Until
now, decoders always returned the pts via the pkt_pts field, while the
pts field was used for encoding and libavfilter only. Recently, pkt_pts
was deprecated, and pts was switched to always carry the pts.
This means we have to be careful not to accidentally use the wrong
field, depending on the libavcodec version. We have to explicitly check
the version numbers. Of course the version numbers are completely
idiotic, because idiotically the pkg-config and library names are the
same for FFmpeg and Libav, so we have to deal with this explicitly as
well.
When the vaapi decoder is used in copy mode, it creates a dummy
display to render to. In theory, this should support hardware
decoding on on a separate GPU that is not actually connected to
any output (like an iGPU which supports more formats than the
external GPU to which the monitor is connected).
However, before this change, only X11 displays were supported as
dummy displays. This caused some graphics drivers (namely
intel-driver) to core dump when they were not actually used as X11
module.
This change introduces support for drm libav displays, which
allows vaapi-copy to run on such cards which are not actually
rendering the X11 output.
We always want to use __declspec(selectany) to declare GUIDs, but
manually including <initguid.h> in every file that used GUIDs was
error-prone. Since all <initguid.h> does is define INITGUID and include
<guiddef.h>, we can remove all references to <initguid.h> and just
compile with -DINITGUID to get the same effect.
Also, this partially reverts 622bcb0 by re-adding libuuid.a to the
build, since apparently some GUIDs (such as GUID_NULL) are not declared
in the source file, even when INITGUID is set.
This is the actual decoder output, with no overrides applied. (Maybe
video-params shouldn't contain the overrides in the first place, but
damage done.)
This really shouldn't be in vd_lavc.c - move it to dec_video.c, where it
also applies aspect overrides. This makes all overrides in one place.
The previous commit contains some required changes for resetting the
image parameters change detection (i.e. it's not done only on video
aspect override changes).
Use the new mechanism, instead of wrapped properties. As usual, extend
the update handling to some options that were forgotten/neglected
before. Rename video_reset_aspect() to video_reset_params() to make it
more "general" (and we can amazingly include write access to
video-aspect as well in this).
'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.
The cuvid decoder already knows how to copy back to system memory
if NV12 frames are requested, and this will happen if the decoder
is used without the hwdec.
For convenience, let's add a wrapper hwdec so people don't have
to explicitly pick the cuvid decoder if they want this behaviour.
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.
These are different AVCodecContext fields. pkt_timebase is the correct
one for identifying the unit of packet/frame timestamps when decoding,
while time_base is for encoding. Some decoders also overwrite the
time_base field with some unrelated codec metadata.
pkt_timebase does not exist in Libav, so an #if is required.
Instead of passing through double float timestamps opaquely, pass real
timestamps. Do so by always setting a valid timebase on the
AVCodecContext for audio and video decoding.
Specifically try not to round timestamps to a too coarse timebase, which
could round off small adjustments to timestamps (such as for start time
rebasing or demux_timeline). If the timebase is considered too coarse,
make it finer.
This gets rid of the need to do this specifically for some hardware
decoding wrapper. The old method of passing through double timestamps
was also a bit questionable. While libavcodec is not supposed to
interpret timestamps at all if no timebase is provided, it was
needlessly tricky. Also, it actually does compare them with
AV_NOPTS_VALUE. This change will probably also reduce confusion in the
future.
The hw_subfmt field roughly corresponds to the field
AVHWFramesContext.sw_format in ffmpeg. The ffmpeg one is of the type
AVPixelFormat (instead of the underlying hardware format), so it's a
good idea to switch to this too for preparation.
Now the hw_subfmt field is an mp_imgfmt instead of an opaque/API-
specific number. VDPAU and Direct3D11 already used mp_imgfmt, but
Videotoolbox and VAAPI had to be switched.
One somewhat user-visible change is that the verbose log will now always
show the hw_subfmt as image format, instead of as nonsensical number.
(In the end it would be good if we could switch to AVHWFramesContext
completely, but the upstream API is incomplete and doesn't cover
Direct3D11 and Videotoolbox.)
This greatly improves the result when decoding typical (ST.2084) HDR
content, since the job of tone mapping gets significantly easier when
you're only mapping from 1000 to 250, rather than 10000 to 250.
The difference is so drastic that we can now even reasonably use
`hdr-tone-mapping=linear` and get a very perceptually uniform result
that is only slightly darker than normal. (To compensate for the extra
dynamic range)
Due to weird implementation details, this only seems to be present on
keyframes (or something like that), so we have to cache the last seen
value for the frames in between.
Also, in some files the metadata is just completely broken /
nonsensical, so I decided to apply a simple heuristic to detect
completely broken metadata.
This involves multiple changes:
1. Brightness metadata is split into nominal peak and signal peak.
For a quick and dirty explanation: nominal peak is the brightest value
that your color space can represent (i.e. the brightness of an encoded
1.0), and signal peak is the brightest value that actually occurs in
the video (i.e. the brightest thing that's displayed).
2. vo_opengl uses a new decision logic to figure out the right nom_peak
and sig_peak for all situations. It also does a better job of picking
the right target gamut/colorspace to use for the OSD. (Which still is
and still should be treated as sRGB). This change in logic also
fixes#3293 en passant.
3. Since it was growing rapidly, the logic for auto-guessing / inferring
the right colorimetry configuration (in pass_colormanage) was split from
the logic for actually performing the adaptation (now pass_color_map).
Right now, the new logic doesn't do a whole lot since HDR metadata is
still ignored (but not for long).
This has two reasons:
1. I tend to add new fields to this metadata, and every time I've done
so I've consistently forgotten to update all of the dozens of places in
which this colorimetry metadata might end up getting used. While most
usages don't really care about most of the metadata, sometimes the
intend was simply to “copy” the colorimetry metadata from one struct to
another. With this being inside a substruct, those lines of code can now
simply read a.color = b.color without having to care about added or
removed fields.
2. It makes the type definitions nicer for upcoming refactors.
In going through all of the usages, I also expanded a few where I felt
that omitting the “young” fields was a bug.
No method of taking a screenshot was implemented at all. vo_opengl
lacked window screenshotting, because ANGLE doesn't allow reading the
frontbuffer. There was no way to read back from a D3D11 texture either.
Implement reading image data from D3D11 textures. This is a low-quality
effort to get basic screenshots done. Eventually there will be a better
implementation: once we use AVHWFramesContext natively, the readback
implementation will be in libavcodec, and will be able to cache the
staging texture correctly. Hopefully. (For now it doesn't even have a
AVHWFramesContext for D3D11 yet. But the abstraction is more appropriate
for this purpose.)
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.
Until now, we've always converted vdpau video surfaces to RGB, and then
mapped the resulting RGB texture. Change this so that the surface is
mapped as NV12 plane textures.
The reason this wasn't done until now is because vdpau surfaces are
mapped in an "interlaced" way as separate fields, even for progressive
video. This requires messy reinterleraving. It turns out that even
though it's an extra processing step, the result can be faster than
going through the video mixer for RGB conversion.
Other than some potential speed-gain, doing this has multiple other
advantages. We can apply our own color conversion, which is important in
more complex cases. We can correctly apply debanding and potentially
other processing that requires chroma-specific or in-YUV handling.
If deinterlacing is enabled, this switches back to the old RGB
conversion method. Until we have at least a primitive deinterlacer in
vo_opengl, this will stay this way. The d3d11 and vaapi code paths are
similar. (Of course these don't require any crazy field reinterleaving.)
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.
For some reason, the d3d9/dxva2/d3d11 DLLs are still optional. But we
don't need to try so hard to keep exact references. In fact, there's no
reason to unload them at all.
So load them once in a central place. For simplicity, the d3d9/d3d11
backends both load all DLLs. (They will error out only if the required
DLLs could not be loaded.)
In theory, we could just call LoadLibrary multiple times (without
calling FreeLibrary), but I'm slightly worried that this could be
detected as a "bug", or that the reference count could even have a low
static limit that could be hit soon.
This uses the normal autoprobing rules like "auto", but rejects anything
that isn't flagged as copying data back to system memory.
The chunk in command.c was dead code, so remove it instead of updating
it.
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.
This uses EGL_ANGLE_stream_producer_d3d_texture_nv12 and related
extensions to map the D3D textures coming from the hardware decoder
directly in GL.
In theory this would be trivial to achieve, but unfortunately ANGLE does
not have a mechanism to "import" D3D textures as GL textures. Instead,
an awkward mechanism via EGL_KHR_stream was implemented, which involves
at least 5 extensions and a lot of glue code. (Even worse than VAAPI EGL
interop, and very far from the simplicity you get on OSX.)
The ANGLE mechanism so far supports only the NV12 texture format, which
means 10 bit won't work. It also does not work in ES3 mode yet. For
these reasons, the "old" ID3D11VideoProcessor code is kept and used as a
fallback.
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.
Including initguid.h at the top of a file that uses references to GUIDs
causes the GUIDs to be declared globally with __declspec(selectany). The
'selectany' attribute tells the linker to consolidate multiple
definitions of each GUID, which would be great except that, in Cygwin
and MinGW GCC 6.1, this method of linking makes the GUIDs conflict with
the ones declared in libuuid.a.
Since initguid.h obsoletes libuuid.a in modern compilers that support
__declspec(selectany), add initguid.h to all files that use GUIDs and
remove libuuid.a from the build.
Fixes#3097
In particular, this moves the depth test to common code.
Should be functionally equivalent, except that for DXVA2, the
IDirectXVideoDecoderService_GetDecoderRenderTargets API is called
more often potentially.
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.
For Mediacodec in particular we don't care about the format. It can just
decode to whatever it wants. The only case we would care about is it not
returning an opaque format if we don't have proper interop, but
libavcodec always returns non-opaque formats by default.
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 is intended for cases when --hwdec needs to override the decoder
implementation in use, like for example on the RPI.
It does two things:
1. Allow the hwdec to indicate a decoder suffix. libavcodec by
convention adds a suffix to all wrapper decoders, and here we start
relying on it. While not necessarily the best idea, it's the only
thing we got. libavcodec's hwaccel list is useless, because it only
has the codec ID, not the associated decoder's name.
2. Make --hwdec=auto work properly. It shouldn't fail anymore, and hwdec
probing should reliably work, even if a different decoder is selected
with --vd. The semantics of --hwdec should dictate that it overrides
the default decoder.
Until now, we have made the assumption that a driver will use only 1
hardware surface format. the format is dictated by the driver (you
don't create surfaces with a specific format - you just pass a
rt_format and get a surface that will be in a specific driver-chosen
format).
In particular, the renderer created a dummy surface to probe the format,
and hoped the decoder would produce the same format. Due to a driver
bug this required a workaround to actually get the same format as the
driver did.
Change this so that the format is determined in the decoder. The format
is then passed down as hw_subfmt, which allows the renderer to configure
itself with the correct format. If the hardware surface changes its
format midstream, the renderer can be reconfigured using the normal
mechanisms.
This calls va_surface_init_subformat() each time after the decoder
returns a surface. Since libavcodec/AVFrame has no concept of sub-
formats, this is unavoidable. It creates and destroys a derived
VAImage, but this shouldn't have any bad performance effects (at
least I didn't notice any measurable effects).
Note that vaDeriveImage() failures are silently ignored as some
drivers (the vdpau wrapper) support neither vaDeriveImage, nor EGL
interop. In addition, we still probe whether we can map an image
in the EGL interop code. This is important as it's the only way
to determine whether EGL interop is supported at all. With respect
to the driver bug mentioned above, it doesn't matter which format
the test surface has.
In vf_vavpp, also remove the rt_format guessing business. I think the
existing logic was a bit meaningless anyway. It's not even a given
that vavpp produces the same rt_format for output.
The underlying intention of this code is to make changing
--videotoolbox-format at runtime work. For this reason, the format can't
just be statically setup, but must be read from the option at runtime.
This means the format is not fixed anymore, and we have to make sure the
renderer is property reinitialized if the format changes. There is
currently no way to trigger reinit on this level, which is why the
mp_image_params.hw_subfmt field was introduced.
One sketchy thing remains: normally, the renderer is supposed to be
involved with VO format negotiation, which would ensure that the VO
can take the format at all. Since the hw_subfmt is not part of this
format negotiation, it's implied the get_vt_fmt() callback only
returns formats supported by the renderer. This is not necessarily
clear because vo_opengl checks this with converted_imgfmt separately.
None of this matters in practice though, because we know all formats
are always supported.
(This still requires somehow triggering decoder reinit to make the
change effective.)
Until now, the presence of the process_image() callback was used to set
a delay queue with a hardcoded size. Change this to a vd_lavc_hwdec
field instead, so the decoder can explicitly set this if it's really
needed.
Do this so process_image() can be used in the VideoToolbox glue code for
something entirely unrelated.
Some functions which expected a codec name (i.e. the name of the video
format itself) were passed a decoder name. Most "native" libavcodec
decoders have the same name as the codec, so this was never an issue.
This should mean that e.g. using "--vd=lavc:h264_mmal --hwdec=mmal"
should now actually enable native surface mode (instead of doing copy-
back).
AVFormatContext.codec is deprecated now, and you're supposed to use
AVFormatContext.codecpar instead.
Handle this for all of the normal playback code.
Encoding mode isn't touched.
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.
The mp_set_av_packet()/mp_pts_from_av() functions check whether the
timebase is set at all (i.e. AVRational.num!=0), so there's no need to
fiddle with pointers.
Instead of displaying it only on playback start (or after switching
tracks), always display it even after a seek.
This helps with --lavfi-complex. You can now overlay e.g. audio
visualizations over cover art, and it won't break after a seek.
The downside is that this might make seeks with huge cover art slower.
There is also a glitch on seeking: since cover art pictures always
have timestamp 0, the playback time will be 0 for a moment after seek,
and then revert to audio PTS (as video is considered EOF). This is also
due to how lavfi's overlay filter behaves. (I'm not sure how to tell
lavfi that it's just a single frame.)
Deselecting cover art and then reselecting it did not work. The second
time the cover art picture is not displayed again. (This seems to break
every other month...)
The reason is commit 6640b22a. It mutates the input packet. And it is
correct that we don't own d_video->header->attached_picture at this
point. Fix it by creating a new packet reference.
Completely pointless abominations that FFmpeg refuses to remove. They
are ancient, long deprecated API which we can't use anymore. They
confused users as well.
Pretend that they don't exist. Due to the way --vd works, they can't
even be forced anymore. The older hack which explicitly rejects these
can be dropped as well.
Hr-seek was often off by one frame due to rounding issues, which have
been traditionally taken care off by adding a "tolerance". Essentially,
frames very close to the seek target PTS are not dropped, even if they
may strictly are before the seek target.
Commit 0af53353 accidentally removed this by always removing frames even
if they're within the "tolerance". Fix this by "unsharing" the logic and
making sure the segment code is inactive for normal seeks.
Doing --hwdec=auto ends up picking dxva2, creating a decoder, and then
sending D3D frames down the video chain, which immediately fails and
falls back to software.
Consider dxva2 only if the VO provides a context. If this fails,
autoprobing will proceed to try dxva2-copy as usual.
Fixes#2844.
This is in preparation for a hypothetical API change in libavcodec,
which would allow the decoder to return multiple video frames before
accepting a new input packet.
In theory, the body of the if() added to vd_lavc.c could be replaced
with this code:
packet->buffer += ret;
packet->len -= ret;
but currently this is not needed, as libavformat already outputs one
frame per packet. Also, using libavcodec this way could lead to a
"deadlock" if the decoder refuses to consume e.g. garbage padding, so
enabling this now would introduce bugs.
(Adding this now for easier testing, and for symmetry with the audio
code.)
There is some strange code which sets the DTS of the packet to PTS (but
only if it's not AVI), which apparently helps with timestamp
determination with some broken files. This code is annoying because it
tries to avoid mutating the packet (which it logically doesn't own).
Move it to where it does and get rid of the packet_copy mess.
Needed for the following commit.
This tries to determine whether packet PTS values are accurate and can
be used for frame dropping during seeking. Move both checks (PTS is
missing; PTs is non-monotonic) to the earliest place where they can be
done.
Apparently, some drivers require you to allocate all of the decoder d3d surfaces
at once. This commit changes the strategy from allocating surfaces as needed via
mp_image_pool_set_allocator, to allocating all the surfaces in one call to
IDirectXVideoDecoderService_CreateSurface and adding them to the pool with
mp_image_pool_add.
fixes#2822
This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old
approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any
time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment
end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very
weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless
segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work.
The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents
an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar
to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds
of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer.
The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can
actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and
subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner
cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.)
To counter this, we do two things:
- Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing
concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake
of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter"
approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g.
the extradata, but that seems fragile.
- Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to
normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback
core doesn't need to care about these things.
These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old
implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore.
In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline
implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to
do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement,
even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.)
There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code.
This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later.
Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the
purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as
sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.
This is required so that the individual surfaces can pass beyond the dxva2
decoder and be passed to the vo.
This also adds additional data to mp_image->planes[0] for IMGFMT_DXVA2, which is
required for maintaining and releasing the surface even if the decoder code is
uninited.
The IDirectXVideoDecoder itself is encapsulated together with its surface pool
and configuration in a dxva2_decoder structure whose creation and destruction is
managed by talloc.
Until now (and in mplayer traditionally), avi timestamps were handled
with a timestamp FIFO. AVI timestamps are essentially just strictly
increasing frame numbers and are not reordered like normal timestamps.
Limiting the FIFO is required because frames can be dropped. To make
it worse, frame dropping can't be distinguished from the decoder not
returning output due to increasing the buffering required for B-frames.
("Measuring" the buffering at playback start seems like an interesting
idea, but won't work as the buffering could be increased mid-playback.)
Another problem are skipped frames (packets with data, but which do
not contain a video frame).
Besides dropped and skipped frames, there is the problem that we can't
always know the delay. External decoders like MMAL are not going to
tell us. (And later perhaps others, like direct VideoToolbox usage.)
In general, this works not-well enough that I prefer the solution of
passing through AVI timestamps as DTS. This is slightly incorrect,
because most decoders treat DTS as mpeg-style timestamps, which
already include a b-frame delay, and thus will be shifted by a few
frames. This means there will be a problem with A/V sync in some
situations.
Note that the FFmpeg AVI demuxer shifts timestamps by an additional
amount (which increases after the first seek!?!?), which makes the
situation worse. It works well with VfW-muxed Matroska files, though.
On RPI, the first X timestamps are broken until the MMAL decoder "locks
on".
fd339e3f53 introduced a regression that caused
segfault while uniniting dxva2 decoder (and possibly vdpau too). The problem was
that it freed the avctx earlier, before calling the backend-specific uninit
which referenced it.
Revert some of the changes of that commit, and avoid calling flush by
checking whether the codec is open instead.
(Based on a PR by Kevin Mitchell.)
Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>
It can be "dangerous". In particular, the decoder might have failed to
initialize, and is now in a broken state. avcodec_flush_buffers() is not
expected to be called in this state, and could trigger undefined
behavior.
Avoids "problems". In particular, it makes MMAL output a NOPTS timestamp
if the input timestamp was NOPTS.
Don't do it for other decoders. Ideally, we will at some point in the
future switch to integer fractions for timestamps at least up until the
filter layer. But this would be a larger change, and for now I'd prefer
keeping the not-rounded demuxer timestamps (if we have them).
Will be helpful for the coming filter support. I planned on merging
audio/video decoding, but this will have to wait a bit longer, so only
remove the duplicate status codes.
Commit b53cb8de added a delay queue for decoded frames. This is supposed
to be used with copy-back decoders like dxva2-copy and vaapi-copy.
Surfaces returned by them can't be referenced after uninitializing the
decoders, so they have to be released before destroying the decoder.
Move the flush_all() call above decoder uninit accordingly. Also move
the destruction of the AVFrame used for decoding (just for being
defensive - normally it doesn't hold any reference).
We just need to provide an entrypoint for it, and move the main init
code to a separate function. This gets rid of the messy video chain full
reinit in command.c, which completely destroyed and recreated the video
state for the purpose of mid-stream hw/sw switching.
Don't give the "software_fallback_decoder" field special meaning. Alwass
set it, and rename it to "decoder". Whether hw decoding is used is
determined by the "hwdec" field already.
This codes tries to deal with broken PTS timestamps, but since commit
271cabe6 it didn't always overwrite the previous timestamp as it should
have. This mattered only if there were broken timestamps in the video
stream.
Also remove the pointless prev_codec_pts variables, since the decoder
doesn't overwrite these fields anymore.
Commit b53cb8de increased this by the number of additionally delayed
surfaces. But since this is only enabled in copy-back mode (which is
what process_image is about), the other additional surfaces accounted
for the direct rendering case can be ignored.
Another fix for the crazy and insane nvidia preemption behavior.
This time, the situation is that we are using vo_opengl with vdpau
interop, and that vdpau got preempted in the background while mpv was
sitting idly. This can be e.g. reproduced by using:
--force-window=immediate --idle --hwdec=vdpau
and switching VTs. Then after switching back, load a video file.
This will not let mp_vdpau_handle_preemption() perform preemption
recovery, simply because it will do so only once vdp_decoder_create()
has been called. There are some other API calls which trigger
preemption, but many don't.
Due to the way the libavcodec API works, vdp_decoder_create() is way too
late. It does so when get_format returns. It notices creating the
decoder fails, and continues calling get_format without the vdpau
format. We could perhaps force it to reinit again (by adding a call to
vdpau.c, that checks for preemption, and sets hwdec_request_reinit), but
this seems too much of a mess.
Solve it by calling API in mp_vdpau_handle_preemption() that empirically
does trigger preemption: output_surface_put_bits_native(). This call is
useless, and in fact should be doing nothing (empty update VdpRect).
There's the slight chance that in theory it will slow down operation,
but in practice it's bound to be harmless. It's the likely cheapest and
simplest API call I've found that can trigger the fallback this way.
(The driver is closed source, so it was up to trial & error.)
Also, when initializing decoding, allow initial preemption recovery,
which is needed to pass the test mention above.
vo_chain_uninit() isn't supposed to care much about the decoder
(although decoders and outputs still go strictly together, so there is
not much of an actual difference now).
Also unset track.d_video correctly.
Remove a stale declaration from dec_video.h as well.
This covers source files which were added in mplayer2 and mpv times
only, and where all code is covered by LGPL relicensing agreements.
There are probably more files to which this applies, but I'm being
conservative here.
A file named ao_sdl.c exists in MPlayer too, but the mpv one is a
complete rewrite, and was added some time after the original ao_sdl.c
was removed. The same applies to vo_sdl.c, for which the SDL2 API is
radically different in addition (MPlayer supports SDL 1.2 only).
common.c contains only code written by me. But common.h is a strange
case: although it originally was named mp_common.h and exists in MPlayer
too, by now it contains only definitions written by uau and me. The
exceptions are the CONTROL_ defines - thus not changing the license of
common.h yet.
codec_tags.c contained once large tables generated from MPlayer's
codecs.conf, but all of these tables were removed.
From demux_playlist.c I'm removing a code fragment from someone who was
not asked; this probably could be done later (see commit 15dccc37).
misc.c is a bit complicated to reason about (it was split off mplayer.c
and thus contains random functions out of this file), but actually all
functions have been added post-MPlayer. Except get_relative_time(),
which was written by uau, but looks similar to 3 different versions of
something similar in each of the Unix/win32/OSX timer source files. I'm
not sure what that means in regards to copyright, so I've just moved it
into another still-GPL source file for now.
screenshot.c once had some minor parts of MPlayer's vf_screenshot.c, but
they're all gone.
This moves some code related to decoding from video.c to dec_video.c,
and also removes some accesses to dec_video.c from the filtering code.
dec_video.ch is starting to make sense, and simply returns video frames
from a demuxer stream. The API exposed is also somewhat intended to be
easily changeable to move decoding to a separate thread, if we ever want
this (due to libavcodec already being threaded, I don't see much of a
reason, but it might still be helpful).
The aspect ratio calculations are cached (mainly so that aspect ratio
related messages are not logged on every frame). The cache is not clared
anymore when video filters are reconfigured, but changing the
video-aspect-ratio property relied on it. Make it explicit.
Fixes#2714.
Lots of noise to remove the vfilter/vo fields from dec_video.
From now on, video filtering and output will still be done together,
summarized under struct vo_chain.
There is the question where exactly the vf_chain should go in such a
decoupled architecture. The end goal is being able to place a "complex"
filter between video decoders and output (which will culminate in
natural integration of A->V filters for natural integration of
libavfilter audio visualizations). The vf_chain is still useful for
"final" processing, such as format conversions and deinterlacing. Also,
there's only 1 VO and 1 --vf option. So having 1 vf_chain for a VO seems
ideal, since otherwise there would be no natural way to handle all these
existing options and mechanisms.
There is still some work required to truly decouple decoding.
Instead of handling this on filter chain reinit, do it directly after
the decoder. This makes the code less entangled. In particular, this
gets rid of the really weird "override params" concept in the video
filter code.
The last_format/fixed_formats have some redundance with decoder_output,
but unfortunately the latter has a slightly different use.
This is mainly a refactor. I'm hoping it will make some things easier
in the future due to cleanly separating codec metadata and stream
metadata.
Also, declare that the "codec" field can not be NULL anymore. demux.c
will set it to "" if it's NULL when added. This gets rid of a corner
case everything had to handle, but which rarely happened.
MPlayer traditionally always used the display aspect ratio, e.g. 16:9,
while FFmpeg uses the sample (aka pixel) aspect ratio.
Both have a bunch of advantages and disadvantages. Actually, it seems
using sample aspect ratio is generally nicer. The main reason for the
change is making mpv closer to how FFmpeg works in order to make life
easier. It's also nice that everything uses integer fractions instead
of floats now (except --video-aspect option/property).
Note that there is at least 1 user-visible change: vf_dsize now does
not set the display size, only the display aspect ratio. This is
because the image_params d_w/d_h fields did not just set the display
aspect, but also the size (except in encoding mode).
If reinit after a fallback from hardware fails, this field can be NULL.
The check in control() was broken due to a typo (found by Coverity), and
decode() lacked the check entirely.
Approximately reverts commit 3ccac74d. This failed with some avi files,
which do pseudo-VFR by sending packets with empty frames (or repeat
frames, depending on point of view). Specifically, these packets are not
0 bytes, so they don't get skipped by libavformat, as with the usual VFR
avi hack. Instead, the packet contains a VOP with vop_coded=0, so
libavcodec will just return no frame. We could probably distinguish such
skipped frames and delayed frames by explicitly measuring the codec
delay by counting how long it takes to get the very first frame (and
then treat skips as explicit drops), but we may as well simply reinstate
the old code.
To appease to at least one semi-broken case, do not enable this logic on
the RPI, as the FFmpeg MMAL wrapper has arbitrary buffering (and MMAL
itself is asynchronous).
10 bit HEVC would require DXVA2_ModeHEVC_VLD_Main10, and most a
different surface type (judging by lavfsplitter source code, both
P010 and P016 would work). Since I'm unable to test this stuff,
exclude 10 bit for now.
See #2516.
Until now, we've relied on the following things:
- you can send flush packets to the decoder even if it's fully flushed,
- you can send new packets to a flushed decoder,
- you can send new packers to a partially flushed decoder.
("flushing" refers to sending flush packets to the decoder until the
decoder does not return new pictures, not avcodec_flush_buffers().)
All of these are questionable. The libavcodec API probably doesn't
guarantee that these work well or at all, even though most decoders have
no issue with these. But especially with hardware decoding wrappers
(like MMAL), real problems can be expected. Isolate us from these corner
cases by handling them explicitly.
A hw decoder might fail to decode a frame for multiple reasons, and not
always just because decoding is impossible. We can't generally
distinguish these reasons well. Make it more tolerant by accepting
failures of 3 frames, but not more. The threshold can be adjusted by the
repurposed --vd-lavc-software-fallback option.
(This behavior was suggested much earlier in some PR, but at the time
the "proper" hwdec fallback was indistinguishable from decoding error.
With the current situation, "proper" fallback is still instantious.)
The uninit() function was called twice if the uninit() function failed
(once by init(), once by vd_lavc.c code), which caused crashes due to
double-free. (This failure is a corner case, and all other hwdec
backends appear to handle this case gracefully.)
I do not think this code should be able to deal with uninit() being
called other than once. Guarantee that it's called exactly once.
Fixes linker failure. How did this ever work? Apparently it did most of
the time, but apparently we just got the first case where it didn't.
Fixes#2433.
The previous commit moved the av_frame_unref() after the got_picture
check. This accidentally also deferred the software fallback
reinitialization to until a software picture was decoded (instead of the
exact time of the fallback), which is not ideal.
Just rely on the fact that calling av_frame_unref() on a frame is ok
even if nothing was decoded.
Commit 12cd48a8 started setting the hwdec_failed field even if hwdec was
not active, and because it also checked this field even if hwdec was not
active, broke decoding forever.
Fix this, and also avoid a memory leak or API misuse by releasing the
decoded picture. Passing an unreleased frame to the decoder has as far
as I know no defined effects.
The libavcodec h264 decoder contains some idiotic code with unknown
purpose (no sample or explanation known that necessitates its
existence), that causes the AVCodecContext.get_format callback to be
invoked at a time when hwaccels can't be initialized. By definition, the
get_format callback is supposed to initialize hwaccels (another idiotic
thing now part of the API, but different story). This causes hwdec
initialization sometimes to fail (WolfensteinTwitch.mp4): the first
get_format callback will mark it as failed, so the second get_format
(the "proper" normal one) will not bother restoring the state, and hwdec
init fails.
While this should be fixed in libavcodec (good luck with that), it's
quite easy to workaround.
Use the first encountered packet PTS/DTS as base, instead of the last
one. This does not add the amount of frames buffered in the codec to the
PTS offset, and thus is better.
Also, don't add the frame time if there was no decoded frame yet. The
first frame should obviously have the timestamp of the first packet
(going by this heuristic).
While b-frame reordering limits the maximum required number to around
16, the number of additionally buffered frames can be much higher.
Guess when this actually matters? (For the libavcodec MMAL wrapper.)
Useless. Sometimes it might be useful to make some extremely broken
files work, but on the other hand --no-correct-pts is sufficient for
these cases.
While we still need some of the code for AVI, the "auto" mode in
particular inflated the size of the code.
This can't be handled correctly at all. Other cases when the decoder
might drop a frame (such as completely failing to decode a frame) will
shift timestamps by a frame, and it can't be avoided.
While we could maybe find a better way to handle this with libavcodec's
main decoders, this seems to be much harder if it should work with
certain HW decoders, which don't passthrough the DTS field (such as
MMAL). Another problem are .avi files with b-frames. So just leave it
as it is.
This was used only by the timestamp sorting code, which is a fallback
for avi files (as well as avi-muxed mkv files). This was supposed to
prevent accumulating timestamps in case the decoder consumes more
packets than it outputs frames (i.e. frames are dropped). This didn't
work very well (timestamps could be off by a large amount), the
estimation of the delay was fragile, and the interdependencies with the
decoder were annoying, so kill it.
This essentially reverts commit 009dfbe3. FFmpeg VideoToolbox support
is being wacky, and can cause major issues, such as not being able
to decode a single frame. (E.g. by playing a .ts file. This should be
fixed in FFmpeg eventually.)
This is not a straight revert of the commit; just a functional one. We
keep the slightly simpler code structure.
VideoToolbox is preferred. Now that FFmpeg released 2.8, there's no
reason to support VDA anymore. In fact, we had a bug that made VDA not
useable with older FFmpeg versions in some newer mpv releases.
VideoToolbox is supported even on slightly older OSX versions, and if
not, you still can run mpv without hw decoding.
Definitely not needed anymore, and fixes a crash in some weird corner-
cases.
The extradata freeing is apparently still needed, though. (Because a
codec context can be opened again, which makes no sense, but ok.)
There are at least 2 ways of using VAAPI without X11 (Wayland, DRM).
Remove the X11 requirement from the decoder part and the EGL interop.
This will be used by a following commit, which adds Wayland support.
The worst about this is the decoder part, which includes a bad hack for
using the decoder without any VO interop (also known as "vaapi-copy"
mode). Separate the X11 parts so that they're self-contained. For the
EGL interop code we do something similar (it's kept slightly simpler,
because it essentially only has to translate between our silly
MPGetNativeDisplay abstraction and the vaGetDisplay...() call).
Make the GPU memcpy from the dxva2 code generally useful to other parts
of the player.
We need to check at configure time whether SSE intrinsics work at all.
(At least in this form, they won't work on clang, for example. It also
won't work on non-x86.)
Introduce a mp_image_copy_gpu(), and make the dxva2 code use it. Do some
awkward stuff to share the existing code used by mp_image_copy(). I'm
hoping that FFmpeg will sooner or later provide a function like this, so
we can remove most of this again. (There is a patch, bit it's stuck in
limbo since forever.)
All this is used by the following commit.
Usually, libavcodec ignores errors reported by the hardware decoding
API, so it's not like we can actually escape if the hardware is somehow
acting up.
For normal fallback purposes, or if parts of the hw decoding API which
we actually check fails, we do this by setting and checking the
hwdec_failed flag anyway.
The comment was largely outdated, and described the old situation when
we used a "violent" fallback by making get_buffer2 fail completely.
Also, for the case when the hw decoder initialization succeeded (in
get_format), but get_buffer2 for some reason requests something
unexpected, we also can fallback more gracefully and in the same way.
Often, we don't know whether hardware decoding will work until we've
tried. (This used to be different, but API changes and improvements in
libavcodec led to this situation.) We will often output that we're going
to use hardware decoding, and then print a fallback warning.
Instead, print the status once we have decoded a frame.
Some of the old messages are turned into verbose messages, which should
be helpful for debugging. Also add some new ones.
The fallback at initialization time was basically duplicated, maybe for
the sake of showing a different error message. This doesn't matter
anymore; not much can fail at initialization anymore. Most meaningful
and common errors happen either at probing or in get_format (when the
actual hw decoder is initialized).
libavcodec does not support HEVC via VAAPI yet, so this won't work.
However, there is ongoing work to add HEVC support to VAAPI, and this
change might help with testing. (Or maybe not - but there is no harm in
this change.)
This affects vo_opengl_cb in particular: it'll most likely auto-load
VDA, and then the VideoToolbox decoder won't work. And everything fails.
This is mainly caused by FFmpeg using separate pixfmts for the _same_
thing (CVPixelBuffers), simply because libavcodec's architecture demands
that hwaccel backends are selected by pixfmts. (Which makes no sense,
but now we have the mess.)
So instead of duplicating FFmpeg's misdesign, just change the format to
our own canonical one on the image output by the decoder. Now the GL
interop code is exactly the same for VDA and VT, and we use the VT name
only.
While the "old" libavcodec vdpau API is not deprecated (only the very-
old API is), it's still relatively complicated code that badly
duplicates the much simpler newer vdpau code. It exists only for the
sake of older FFmpeg releases; get rid of it.
VDA is being deprecated in OS X 10.11 so this is needed to keep hwdec working.
The code needs libavcodec support which was added recently (to FFmpeg git,
libav doesn't support it).

Revert "win32: replace wchar_t with WCHAR"
Doing a "partial" port of this makes no sense anymore from my
perspective. Revert the changes, as they're confusing without
context, maintenance, and progress. These changes were a bit
premature anyway, and might actually cause other issues
(locale neutrality etc. as it was pointed out).
This was essentially missing from commit 0b52ac8a.
Since L"..." string literals have the type wchar_t[], we can't use them
for UTF-16 strings. Use C11 u"..." string literals instead. These have
the type char16_t[], but we simply assume char16_t is the same
underlying type as WCHAR. In practice, they're both unsigned short.
For this reason use -std=c11 on Windows. Since Windows is a "special"
environment (we require either MinGW or Cygwin), we don't need to worry
too much about compiler compatibility.
Fixes problems with --vo=opengl:interpolation. The issue here is that
vo_opengl retains more surfaces than what was preallocated for the
decoder. Until now, we just explicitly failed to decode frames for which
no additional surfaces are available. Since modern drivers usually are
fine with not "registering" surfaces before the decoder is created, just
allow allocating additional surfaces if needed.
(We also could probably recreate the HW decoder, since the HW decoder
should be stateless. But let's try to avoid raising the overall
complexity of the code.)
Sometime recently, hardware decoding started to fail if h264 with full
reference frames was decoded, and --vo=vaapi was used. VAAPI requires
registering all surfaces that the decoder will ever use in advance, so
if the playback chain uses more surfaces than originally allocated, we
fail and drop back to software decoding.
I'm not really sure why or when this started happening. Commit 7b9d7265
for one is not the cause - it can be reproduced with earlier commits. It
also seems to be timing dependent. Possibly it has to do with the way
vo.c retains previous surfaces, and the way they can be queued/unqueued
asynchronously.
Increasing the number of reserved additional surfaces by 1 fixes it.
(Though I have no idea where exactly all these surfaces are being used.
Or rather, _when_.)
Basically, we need to make sure to allocate enough data for the pretty
dumb copy_nv12 function. (It could be avoided by making the function
less dumb, but this fix is simpler.)
mpv had refcounted frames before libav*, so we were not using
libavutil's facilities. Change this and drop our own code.
Since AVFrames are not actually refcounted, and only the image data
they reference, the semantics change a bit. This affects mainly
mp_image_pool, which was operating on whole images instead of buffers.
While we could work on AVBufferRefs instead (and use AVBufferPool),
this doesn't work for use with hardware decoding, which doesn't
map cleanly to FFmpeg's reference counting. But it worked out. One
weird consequence is that we still need our custom image data
allocation function (for normal image data), because AVFrame's uses
multiple buffers.
There also seems to be a timing-dependent problem with vaapi (the
pool appears to be "leaking" surfaces). I don't know if this is a new
problem, or whether the code changes just happened to cause it more
often. Raising the number of reserved surfaces seemed to fix it, but
since it appears to be timing dependent, and I couldn't find anything
wrong with the code, I'm just going to assume it's not a new bug.
This is basically a hack for drivers which prevent the mpv DXVA2 decoder
glue from working if OpenGL is in fullscreen mode.
Since it doesn't add any "hard" new API to the client API, some of the
code would be required for a true zero-copy hw decoding pipeline, and
sine it isn't too much code after all, this is probably acceptable.
Again. With the old OpenGL interop dropped, this probably works better
than vaapi-copy now. Last time we defaulted to vaapi-copy, because the
OpenGL interop could swap U/V planes and other stupid crap. We'll see.
MPlayer traditionally had completely separate sh_ structs for
audio/video/subs, without a good way to share fields. This meant that
fields shared across all these headers had to be duplicated. This commit
deduplicates essentially the last remaining duplicated fields.
When using --hwdec=auto, about half of all systems will print:
"[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1"
this happens because usually mpv will be linked against both vdpau and
vaapi libs, but the drivers are not necessarily available. Then trying
to load a driver will fail. This is a normal part of probing, but the
error messages were printed anyway. Silence them by explicitly
distinguishing probing.
This pretty much goes through all the layers. We actually consider
loading hw backends for vo_opengl always "auto probed", even if a hw
backend is explicitly requested. In this case vd_lavc will print a
warning message anyway (adjust this message a bit).
When showing cover art, the decoding logic pretends that the source has
an infinite number of frames. This slightly simplifies dealing with
filter data flow. It was done by feeding the same packet repeatedly to
the decoder (each decode run produces new output).
Change this by decoding once at the video initialization. This is easier
to follow, and increases robustness in case of broken images. Usually,
we try to tolerate decoding errors, so decoding normally continues, but
in this case it would just burn the CPU for no reason.
Fixes#2056.
This must have been some non-sense in the original vaapi mplayer patch.
While I still have no good idea what this "direct mapping" business is
about, it appears to be pretty much pointless. Nothing can hold
additional "real" surface references (due to how the API and mpv/lavc
refcounting work), so removing the additional surfaces won't break
anything. It still could be that this was for achieving additional
buffering (not reusing surfaces as soon), but we buffer some additional
data anyway. Plus, the original intention of the vaapi mplayer code was
probably increasing surface count just by 1 or 2, not actually doubling
it, and/or it was a "trick" to get to the maximum count of 21 when h264
is in use.
gstreamer-vaapi uses "ref_frames + SCRATCH_SURFACES_COUNT" here, with
SCRATCH_SURFACES_COUNT defined to 4. It doesn't appear to check the
overlay attributes at all in the decoder.
In any case, remove this non-sense.
On hw decoder reinit failure we did not actually always return a sw
format, because the first format (fmt[0]) is not always a sw format.
This broke some cases of fallback. We must go through the trouble to
determine the first actual sw format.
Yet another of these dozens of hwaccel changes. This time, libavcodec
provides utility functions, which initialize the vdpau decoder and map
codec profiles. So a lot of work the API user had to do falls away.
This also will give us support for high bit depth profiles, and possibly
HEVC once libavcodec supports it.
...instead of relying on the hw decoding API to align it for us. The old
method could in theory have gone wrong if the video is cropped by an
amount large enough to step over several blocks.
There's not much of a reason to keep get_surface_hwdec() and
get_buffer2_hwdec() separate. Actually, the way the mpi->AVFrame
referencing is done makes this confusing. The separation is probably
an artifact of the pre-libavcodec-refcounting compatibility glue.
Most of hardware decoding is initialized lazily. When the first packet
is parsed, libavcodec will call get_format() to check whether hw or sw
decoding is wanted. Until now, we've returned AV_PIX_FMT_NONE from
get_format() if hw decoder initialization failed. This caused the
avcodec_decode_video2() call to fail, which in turn let us trigger the
fallback. We didn't return a sw format from get_format(), because we
didn't want to continue decoding at all. (The reason being that full
reinitialization is more robust when continuing sw decoding.)
This has some disadvantages. libavcodec vomited some unwanted error
messages. Sometimes the failures are more severe, like it happened with
HEVC. In this case, the error code path simply acted up in a way that
was extremely inconvenient (and had to be fixed by myself). In general,
libavcodec is not designed to fallback this way.
Make it a bit less violent from the API usage point of view. Return a sw
format if hw decoder initialization fails. In this case, we let
get_buffer2() call avcodec_default_get_buffer2() as well. libavcodec is
allowed to perform its own sw fallback. But once the decode function
returns, we do the full reinitialization we wanted to do.
The result is that the fallback is more robust, and doesn't trigger any
decoder error codepaths or messages either. Change our own fallback
message to a warning, since there are no other messages with error
severity anymore.
This is pretty much copy&pasted from Libav commit
a7e0380497306d9723dec8440a4c52e8bf0263cf.
Note that if FFmpeg was not compiled with HEVC DXVA2 support or your
video drivers do not support HEVC, the player will not fallback and
just fail decoding any video. This is because libavcodec appears not
to return an error in this case. The situation is made worse by the
fact that MSYS2 is on an ancient MinGW-w64 release, which does not
have the required headers for HEVC DXVA2 support.
The hardware always decodes to nv12 so using this image format causes less cpu
usage than uyvy (which we are currently using, since Apple examples and other
free software use that). The reduction in cpu usage can add up to quite a bit,
especially for 4k or high fps video.
This needs an accompaning commit in libavcodec.
Remove the old implementation for these properties. It was never very
good, often returned very innaccurate values or just 0, and was static
even if the source was variable bitrate. Replace it with the
implementation of "packet-video-bitrate". Mark the "packet-..."
properties as deprecated. (The effective difference is different
formatting, and returning the raw value in bits instead of kilobits.)
Also extend the documentation a little.
It appears at least some decoders (sipr?) need the
AVCodecContext.bit_rate field set, so this one is still passed through.
Remove the colorspace-related top-level options, add them to vf_format.
They are rather obscure and not needed often, so it's better to get them
out of the way. In particular, this gets rid of the semi-complicated
logic in command.c (most of which was needed for OSD display and the
direct feedback from the VO). It removes the duplicated color-related
name mappings.
This removes the ability to write the colormatrix and related
properties. Since filters can be changed at runtime, there's no loss of
functionality, except that you can't cycle automatically through the
color constants anymore (but who needs to do this).
This also changes the type of the mp_csp_names and related variables, so
they can directly be used with OPT_CHOICE. This probably ended up a bit
awkward, for the sake of not adding a new option type which would have
used the previous format.
This requires FFmpeg git master for accelerated hardware decoding.
Keep in mind that FFmpeg must be compiled with --enable-mmal. Libav
will also work.
Most things work. Screenshots don't work with accelerated/opaque
decoding (except using full window screenshot mode). Subtitles are
very slow - even simple but huge overlays can cause frame drops.
This always uses fullscreen mode. It uses dispmanx and mmal directly,
and there are no window managers or anything on this level.
vo_opengl also kind of works, but is pretty useless and slow. It can't
use opaque hardware decoding (copy back can be used by forcing the
option --vd=lavc:h264_mmal). Keep in mind that the dispmanx backend
is preferred over the X11 ones in case you're trying on X11; but X11
is even more useless on RPI.
This doesn't correctly reject extended h264 profiles and thus doesn't
fallback to software decoding. The hw supports only up to the high
profile, and will e.g. return garbage for Hi10P video.
This sets a precedent of enabling hw decoding by default, but only
if RPI support is compiled (which most hopefully it will be disabled
on desktop Linux platforms). While it's more or less required to use
hw decoding on the weak RPI, it causes more problems than it solves
on real platforms (Linux has the Intel GPU problem, OSX still has
some cases with broken decoding.) So I can live with this compromise
of having different defaults depending on the platform.
Raspberry Pi 2 is required. This wasn't tested on the original RPI,
though at least decoding itself seems to work (but full playback was
not tested).
Codecs for hardware acceleration are not blacklisted, but whitelisted.
Also, if this emssage is printed, the codec might not have any hardware
acceleration support in the first place.
