On platforms where it is unstable/experimental, it is disabled behind
environmental variable, so safe to probe it there too.
Fixes usage of hwdec=yes with gpu-api=vulkan, where hwdec would be not
enabled. Position it after older and more stable variants. That means
the -copy variant of the other API will likely be prefered.
Now that we have identified the device types associated with each hwdec, we
can take advantage of this to ensure that get the right hwdec is chosen when
decoding frames and there are multiple choices available with different device
types.
This is also plumbed into the filter initialisation logic, although in practice
the decision on the hwdec has already been made at this point - still it's
easier than retaining the ambiguous look up logic and worrying that it might
lead to an inconsistent result.
Adds support for extracting codec profile. Old properties are redirected
to new one and removed from docs. Likely will stay like that forever as
there is no reason to remove them.
As a effect of unification of properties between audio and video,
video-codec will now print codec (format) descriptive name, not decoder
long name as it were before. In practice this change fixes what docs
says. If you really need decoder name, use the `track-list/N/decoder-desc`.
Lots of filters have generic internal function names like "process".
On a stack trace, all of the different filters use this name,
which causes confusion of the actual filter being processed.
This renames these internal function names to carry the filter names.
This matches what had already been done for some filters.
While this resolves limitations of lavc decoder crop, it also introduces
artifacts with some of the source files or hwdec.
Depending on chroma sampler it is possible to sample outside the decoder
crop area, pulling dirty pixels into the image. Some decoders left them
zeroed, not black. To fix that we would need specifc solution during
mapping of avframes.
As most of the files require the crop only in bottom/right area, the
AVCodecContext::apply_cropping works ok for those.
For all other cases that require more fancy cropping like 1440x1080+240+0
user can manually set `--vd-apply-cropping=no`.
Limitations of the lavc crop are explained here:

Cropping by decoder has limitations with regards to aligment and hwdec.
It doesn't work to offset top left corner with hwdec and even with
software decoding it don't crop fully when resulting data would not be
aligned.
VO cropping is way more robust.
In the same way that fallback in receive_frame() needs to be repeated
until we get a working decoder, we have to do the same thing in
reinit(). Calling force_fallback() only once can still yield a non
functional decoder.
The reason why we have these multiple paths which each require their
own fallback logic is that we can fail at different stages:
* hwdec init
* decoder init <- repeated fallback was missing here
* frame decoding
Fixes#12084
It's a bit of an edge case, but since we now allow the disabling of the
software fallback it's possible to have a situation where hwdec
completely fails and the mpv window is still lingering from the previous
item in the playlist. What needs to happen is simply that the vo_chain
should uninit itself and handle force_window if needed. In order to do
that, a new VDCTRL is added that checks vd_lavc if force_eof was set.
player/video will then start the uninit process if needed after getting
this.
There's an option that's supposed to stop mpv from falling back to
software decoding if hardware decoding fails. Except that it doesn't
work and can fallback to software decoding anyway. Correct this by
checking if all possible hwdec failed after the loop in
select_and_set_hwdec and that we have this option. If so, flag a bool to
force eof. In decode_frame afterwards, we then simply immediately return
an EOF.
There is an additional failure path I didn't account for in my previous
work. While I ensured that a late hwdec failure in receive_frame can be
recovered from by trying the next hwdec, there is a specific
combination where if an hwdec fails in receive_frame, and the next
hwdec is a full decoder (eg: v4l2m2m), and that also fails, we are left
with no decoder and so the entire decoding process ends and playback is
stopped.
Basically, we must keep re-attempting the fallback in receive_frame
until we get a valid decoder (software or hardware). This edge case
will rarely be encountered as there are only a couple of decoder based
hwdecs.
Fixes#11947
To remain consistent with our belief that `auto-safe` should be the
recommended mode when turning on hw decoding, let's remap `yes` from
`auto` to `auto-safe`.
We have supported `hwdec=drm` for some time now, and on devices where
this method is present, it is the preferred, and only, method
available. Combine that with the fact that software decoding on
embedded devices will not turn out well, and it's clear that we should
put `drm` and `drm-copy` on the `auto-safe` list to maximise usability
in simple configurations.
Today, if hwdec initialisation succeeds, we move on to attempting
decoding, and if decoding fails, we enter a fallback path that will
only do software decoding.
This is suboptimal because some hwdecs and codec combinations can
pass hwdec init, but then fail at hwaccel init, or even frame decoding.
In these situations, we will never attempt other hwdecs in the `auto`
or manually specified lists which might work.
One good example is someone tries to use `vulkan,auto` and tries to
play av1 content. The vulkan decoding will fail at hwaccel init time,
and then fallback to software instead of going through the auto list
which would allow vaapi, nvdec, etc to play the file.
Instead, let's not give up immediately, and try the next hwdec after
a failure, just like we do if hwdec init fails.
The key part of this change is to keep track of the hwdecs we have
tried, so that each time we run through hwdec selection, we don't try
the same one over and over again. If we really get through the whole
list with no success, we will then fall back to software decoding.
Fixes#11865
In case there are no packets from demuxer we cannot send EAGAIN, because
we will not proceed and get stuck with one frame in queue and never
output it. Just respect avcodec_receive_frame ret code and act
accordingly. The only case to care about is EOF when we have to drain
already queued frames.
Fixes playback of 1-2 frame videos.
Today, the only way to make mpv consider multiple hwdecs and pick the
first one that works is to use one of the `auto` modes. But the list
that is considered in those cases is hard-coded. If the user wants to
provide their own list, they are out of luck.
And I think that there is now a significant reason to support this -
the new Vulkan hwdec is definitely not ready to be in the auto list,
but if you want to use it by default, it will not work with many codecs
that are normally hardware decodable (only h.264, hevc and av1 if you
are very lucky). Everything else will fall back to software decoding.
Instead, what you really want to say is: use Vulkan for whatever it
supports, and fall back to my old hwdec for everything else.
One side-effect of this implementation is that you can freely mix
hwdec names and special values like `auto` and `no`. The behaviour will
be correct, so I didn't try and prohibit any combinations. However,
some combinations will be silly - eg: sticking any further values after
`no` will result in them being ignored. On the other hand, a
combination like `vulkan,auto` could be very useful as that will use
Vulkan if possible, and if not, run the normal auto routine.
Fixes#11797
For hwdecs without devices we can't get instant feedback during probing
whether the hwdec can possibly work or not, so we definitely want to try them last.
Independently this would also have solved the issue addressed by the previous commit.
This fixes an issue where mpv would try mediacodec (which may not
be available depending on Android version) and pick v4l2m2m next
which ends up failing even though mediacodec-copy would have been available.
c784820454 introduced a bool option type
as a replacement for the flag type, but didn't actually transition and
remove the flag type because it would have been too much mundane work.
--vd-lavc-dr defaulted to "yes", which caused issues on certain
hardware. Instead of disabling it, add a new "auto" value and
make it the default.
The "auto" choice will enable DR only when we can request host-cached
buffers (as signalled by the new VO_DR_FLAG_HOST_CACHED).

This new hwaccel flag was added to allow us to request that an hwaccel
decode not implicitly copy output frames before passing them out. The
only hwaccel that would implicitly copy frames is nvdec due to how it
has a small output pool that cannot be grown very much. However, we
already copy frames as soon as we get our hands on them (in our hwdec)
so we're already safe from pool exhaustion, and the extra copy doesn't
help us.
This has been a long standing annoyance - ffmpeg is removing
sizeof(AVPacket) from the API which means you cannot stack-allocate
AVPacket anymore. However, that is something we take advantage of
because we use short-lived AVPackets to bridge from native mpv packets
in our main decoding paths.
We don't think that switching these to `av_packet_alloc` is desirable,
given the cost of heap allocation, so this change takes a different
approach - allocating a single packet in the relevant context and
reusing it over and over.
That's fairly straight-forward, with the main caveat being that
re-initialising the packet is unintuitive. There is no function that
does exactly what we need (what `av_init_packet` did). The closest is
`av_packet_unref`, which additionally frees buffers and side-data.
However, we don't copy those things - we just assign them in from our
own packet, so we have to explicitly clear the pointers before calling
`av_packet_unref`. But at least we can make a wrapper function for
that.
The weirdest part of the change is the handling of the vtt subtitle
conversion. This requires two packets, so I had to pre-allocate two in
the context struct. That sounds excessive, but if allocating the
primary packet is too expensive, then allocating the secondary one for
vtt subtitles must also be too expensive.
This change is not conditional as heap allocated AVPackets were
available for years and years before the deprecation.
It turns out that it's generally more useful to look up hwdecs by image
format, rather than device type. In the situations where we need to
find one, we generally know the image format we're dealing with. Doing
this avoids us having to create mappings from image format to device
type.
The most significant part of this change is filling in the image format
for the various hw interops. There is a hw_imgfmt field today today, but
only a couple of the interops fill it in, and that seems to be because
we've never actually used this piece of metadata before. Well, now we
have a good use for it.
This fixes build failures with avcodec 58.113.100 or before,
matching FFmpeg release versions 4.0 to 4.3.
This flag was added in between avcodec 58.113.100 and 58.114.100
during the FFmpeg 4.4 development cycle. It lacks its own version bump,
so instead a check for the define is utilized instead.
Additionally, warn the user if they request GPU film grain with
too old of an FFmpeg.
Fixes#10088
The VO is available during decoder initialization mostly for direct
rendering purposes, so if f.ex. a complex filter chain is utilized,
there is no video renderer information available via
mp_filter_find_stream_info during creation of the decoder filter.
Thus, check for whether the VO is available before attempting to
check the capabilities flag from it.
Additionally - to simplify logic - makes explicitly requesting GPU
film grain to always disable decoder film grain functionality. The
warning is still shown if the VO is available and no support for
film grain application is available.
Fixes#10079
The field has been deprecated, yet the upcoming new default is not yet
the default. Thus, until lavc major hits 60 and the default behavior
finally gets changed, we have to explicitly set the field's value.
The deprecation had already been handled by adding the required
version limitation for this code in bbbf3571ed ,
this change merely just removes the warning which would otherwise
appear until lavc major version gets bumped to 60.
When I introduced the concept of lazy loading of hwdecs by img format,
I did not propagate the probing flag correctly, leading to the new
normal loading path not runnng with probing set, meaning that any
errors would show up, creating unnecessary noise.
This change fixes this regression.
Previously, when mpv was invoked with unsupported hwdec value, such
as --hwdec=foobar, there was no indication that it doesn't exist.
The reason it's not validated during options parsing is that the name
is only evaluated when selecting hwdec for actual decoding, by
matching it against runtime list of names from ffmpeg.
Additionally, when selecting hwdec for decoding, matching the name
came after filtering by codec, hence overall never-matched-name did
not necessarily indicate it's unsupported (doesn't exist at all).
Now we check the name before filtering by codec, and when done,
warn if no hwdec with that name exists at all.
This means that an unsupported name will now generate such warning
whenever we try to choose a hwdec, i.e. possibly more than once.
It's much better than no notification at all, and arguably adequate
for a sort of configuration error (linked ffmpeg has no such hwdec
name) which we don't validate during option parsing.
Historically, we have treated hwdec interop loading as a completely
separate step from loading the hwdecs themselves. Some hwdecs need an
interop, and some don't, and users generally configure the exact
hwdec they want, so interops that aren't relevant for that hwdec
shouldn't be loaded to save time and avoid warning/error spam.
The basic approach here is to recognise that interops are tied to
hwdecs by imgfmt. The hwdec outputs some format, and an interop is
needed to get that format to the vo without read back.
So, when we try to load an hwdec, instead of just blindly loading all
interops as we do today, let's pass the imgfmt in and only load
interops that work for that format. If more than one interop is
available for the format, the existing logic (whatever it is) will
continue to be used to pick one.
We also have one callsite in filters where we seem to pre-emptively
load all the interops. It's probably possible to trace down a specific
format but for now I'm just letting it keep loading all of them; it's
no worse than before.
You may notice there is no documentation update - and that's because
the current docs say that when the interop mode is `auto`, the interop
is loaded on demand. So reality now reflects the docs. How nice.
Today, validation is only possible for string type options. But there's
no particular reason why it needs to be restricted in this way, and
there are potential uses, to allow other options to be validated
without forcing the option to have to reimplement parsing from
scratch.
The first part, simply making the validation function an explicit
field instead of overloading priv is simple enough. But if we only do
that, then the validation function still needs to deal with the raw
pre-parsed string. Instead, we want to allow the value to be parsed
before it is validated. That in turn leads to us having validator
functions that should be type aware. Unfortunately, that means we need
to keep the explicit macro like OPT_STRING_VALIDATE() as a way to
enforce the correct typing of the function. Otherwise, we'd have to
have the validator take a void * and hope the implementation can cast
it correctly.
For help, we don't have this problem, as help doesn't look at the
value.
Then, we turn validators that are really help generators into explicit
help functions and where a validator is help + validation, we split
them into two parts.
I have, however, left functions that need to query information for both
help and validation as single functions to avoid code duplication.
In this change, I have not added an other OPT_FOO_VALIDATE() macros as
they are not needed, but I will add some in a separate change to
illustrate the pattern.
This was optional, with the intention that normally such options require
a valid format. But there is no reason for this (at least not anymore),
and it's actually more logical to accept "no" in all situations this
option type is used. This also gets rid of the weird min field special
use.
The "rule" is that a fallback warning message should be shown only shown
if software decoding was used before, or in other words when either
hwdec was enabled before, but the stream suddenly falls back, or it was
attempted to enable it at runtime, and it didn't work.
The message wasn't printed the first time in the latter case, because
hwdec_notified was not set in forced software decoding mode. Fix it with
this commit. Fortunately, the logic becomes simpler.
Change all OPT_* macros such that they don't define the entire m_option
initializer, and instead expand only to a part of it, which sets certain
fields. This requires changing almost every option declaration, because
they all use these macros. A declaration now always starts with
{"name", ...
followed by designated initializers only (possibly wrapped in macros).
The OPT_* macros now initialize the .offset and .type fields only,
sometimes also .priv and others.
I think this change makes the option macros less tricky. The old code
had to stuff everything into macro arguments (and attempted to allow
setting arbitrary fields by letting the user pass designated
initializers in the vararg parts). Some of this was made messy due to
C99 and C11 not allowing 0-sized varargs with ',' removal. It's also
possible that this change is pointless, other than cosmetic preferences.
Not too happy about some things. For example, the OPT_CHOICE()
indentation I applied looks a bit ugly.
Much of this change was done with regex search&replace, but some places
required manual editing. In particular, code in "obscure" areas (which I
didn't include in compilation) might be broken now.
In wayland_common.c the author of some option declarations confused the
flags parameter with the default value (though the default value was
also properly set below). I fixed this with this change.
Before this commit, option declarations used M_OPT_MIN/M_OPT_MAX (and
some other identifiers based on these) to signal whether an option had
min/max values. Remove these flags, and make it use a range implicitly
on the condition if min<max is true.
This requires care in all cases when only M_OPT_MIN or M_OPT_MAX were
set (instead of both). Generally, the commit replaces all these
instances with using DBL_MAX/DBL_MIN for the "unset" part of the range.
This also happens to fix some cases where you could pass over-large
values to integer options, which were silently truncated, but now cause
an error.
This commit has some higher potential for regressions.
Libav seems rather dead: no release for 2 years, no new git commits in
master for almost a year (with one exception ~6 months ago). From what I
can tell, some developers resigned themselves to the horrifying idea to
post patches to ffmpeg-devel instead, while the rest of the developers
went on to greener pastures.
Libav was a better project than FFmpeg. Unfortunately, FFmpeg won,
because it managed to keep the name and website. Libav was pushed more
and more into obscurity: while there was initially a big push for Libav,
FFmpeg just remained "in place" and visible for most people. FFmpeg was
slowly draining all manpower and energy from Libav. A big part of this
was that FFmpeg stole code from Libav (regular merges of the entire
Libav git tree), making it some sort of Frankenstein mirror of Libav,
think decaying zombie with additional legs ("features") nailed to it.
"Stealing" surely is the wrong word; I'm just aping the language that
some of the FFmpeg members used to use. All that is in the past now, I'm
probably the only person left who is annoyed by this, and with this
commit I'm putting this decade long problem finally to an end. I just
thought I'd express my annoyance about this fucking shitshow one last
time.
The most intrusive change in this commit is the resample filter, which
originally used libavresample. Since the FFmpeg developer refused to
enable libavresample by default for drama reasons, and the API was
slightly different, so the filter used some big preprocessor mess to
make it compatible to libswresample. All that falls away now. The
simplification to the build system is also significant.
