Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
The tmsg stuff was for the internal gettext() based translation system,
which nobody ever attempted to use and thus was removed. mp_gtext() and
set_osd_tmsg() were also for this.
mp_dbg was once enabled in debug mode only, but since we have log level
for enabling debug messages, it seems utterly useless.
Add the mp_get_user_path() function, and make it expand special path
prefixes. Use it for some things in mpv which take filenames
(--input-config, --screenshot-template, opengl icc-profile suboption).
This allows accessing files in the mpv config dir without hardcoding the
config path by prefixing the path with ~~/. Details see manpage
additions.
Use the scaled video size (i.e. as shown on the window) as reference for
zoom. This is the easiest way to fix different width/height scale
factors as they happen when zooming video with a pixel aspect ratio
other than 1:1.
Also fix the unscaled mode, so that it 1. doesn't scale even with
--video-zoom, and 2. doesn't scale by small amounts when the video is
cropped by making the window smaller than the video.
This code tried to pass a still monotonic (even if not strictly
monotonic) PTS to the player, but as a result it remained stuck on
the PTS before a reset (since the PTS was lower).
Until now, the player didn't care to drain frames on video reconfig.
Instead, the VO was reconfigured (i.e. resized) before the queued frames
finished displaying. This can for example be observed by passing
multiple images with different size as mf:// filename. Then the window
would resize one frame before image with the new size is displayed. With
--vo=vdpau, the effect is worse, because this VO queues more than 1
frame internally.
Fix this by explicitly draining buffered frames before video reconfig.
Raise the display time of the last frame. Otherwise, the last frame
would be shown for a very short time only. This usually doesn't matter,
but helps when playing image files. This is a byproduct of frame
draining, because normally, video timing is based on the frames queued
to the VO, and we can't do that with frames of different size or format.
So we pretend that the frame before the change is the last frame in
order to time it. This code is incorrect though: it tries to use the
framerate, which often doesn't make sense. But it's good enough to test
this code with mf://.
This gets rid of the vf_vo pseudo-filter. It ends the idea of MPlayer's
architecture that the VO is just a (terminating) video filter. It didn't
really work for us with respect to video timing (the "end" of the video
chain isn't really made for video timing, and making it do so would be
awkward), and now we're removing it entirely. We will be able to fix
some things, such as properly draining video on reconfiguration.
I don't think this has any reason to exist. It's likely that this used
to be required by the old direct rendering infrastructure. (See
git blame output.)
This should help fixing some issues (like not draining video frames
correctly on reinit), as well as decoupling the decoder, filter chain,
and VO code.
I also wanted to make the hardware video decoding fallback work properly
if software-only video filters are inserted. This currently has the
issue that the fallback is too violent, and throws away a bunch of
demuxer packets needed to restart software decoding properly. But
keeping "backup" packets turned out as too hacky, so I'm not doing this,
at least not yet.
Libav 9 still uses the unprefixed PIX_FMT_... symbols, but they will
probably be removed some time in the future.
There are some other deprecations we have yet to take care of, but
there are no clear replacements yet.
Remove the inconsistent, duplicated, and insufficient scale filter
insertion code, and do it in one place instead. This also compensates
for the earlier removal of vf_match_csp() (which was in fact duplicated
code).
The algorithm to determine where to insert a filter etc. is probably the
same, though it also comes with some changes that should make debugging
easier when trying to figure out why a chain is failing to configure.
Add an "in" pseudo filter, which makes insertion of conversion filters
easier. Also change the vf->reconfig signature. At a later point, I'll
probably change format negotiation such that the generic filter code
will choose the output format, so having separate in and out params will
be useful.
Reason: I never liked it being recursive. Generally, this seems to
cause more problems than trouble, and is less flexible for access
outside of the chain.
I don't think we need these flags anymore. Simplify the code and get rid
of the vf_format struct.
There still is the vf_format.configured field, but this can be replaced
by checking for a valid image format.
This adds vf_chain, which unlike vf_instance refers to the filter chain
as a whole. This makes the filter API less awkward, and will allow
handling format negotiation better.
This function improves automatic filter insertion, but this really
should be done by the generic filter code. Remove vf_match_csp() and all
code using it as preparation for that.
This commit temporarily makes handling of filter insertion worse for
now, but it will be fixed with the following commits.
They didn't do anything.
vf_screenshot.c actually did release the previous image, but that's not
really required. At worst you could take a screenshot and get an old
frame when there's no new frame yet.
The --flip option flipped the image upside-down, by trying to use VO
support, or if not available, by inserting a video filter. I'm not sure
why it existed. Maybe it was important in ancient times when VfW based
decoders output an image this way (but even then, flipping an image is a
free operation by negating the stride).
One nice thing about this is that it provided a possible path for
implementing video orientation, which is a feature we should probably
support eventually. The important part is that it would be for free for
VOs that support it, and would work even with hardware decoding.
But for now get rid of it. It's useless, trivial, stands in the way, and
supporting video orientation would require solving other problems first.
If the timebase is set, it's used for converting the packet timestamps.
Otherwise, the previous method of reinterpret-casting the mpv style
double timestamps to libavcodec style int64_t timestamps is used.
Also replace the kind of awkward mp_get_av_frame_pkt_ts() function by
mp_pts_from_av(), which simply converts timestamps in a way the old
function did. (Plus it takes a timebase parameter, similar to the
addition to mp_set_av_packet().)
Note that this should not change anything yet. The code in ad_lavc.c and
vd_lavc.c passes NULL for the timebase parameters. We could set
AVCodecContext.pkt_timebase and use that if we want to give libavcodec
"proper" timestamps.
This could be important for ad_lavc.c: some codecs (opus, probably mp3
and aac too) have weird requirements about doing decoding preroll on the
container level, and thus require adjusting the audio start timestamps
in some cases. libavcodec doesn't tell us how much was skipped, so we
either get shifted timestamps (by the length of the skipped data), or we
give it proper timestamps. (Note: libavcodec interprets or changes
timestamps only if pkt_timebase is set, which by default it is not.)
This would require selecting a timebase though, so I feel uncomfortable
with the idea. At least this change paves the way, and will allow some
testing.
The vf_eq context contains a very large lookup table, and the method of
setting default values caused the vf_eq context to be included in the
compiled code.
All filters now either use the generic option parser, or don't have
options. This finally finishes a transition started in 2003 (see git
commit 33b62af947).
Why are MPlayer devs so monumentally lazy? Sorry, but this takes the
cake. You had 10 years.
Mostly backwards compatible, we don't change much because we just want
to get rid of the legacy option string handling.
You can't pass an aspect as first argument anymore.
Apparently you can get this with: stereo3d=ab[2]{l,r}:sbs[2]{l,r}
So it seems the filter is redundant and can be removed.
