This protocol is pretty important since it finally lets us solve the
longstanding issue of fractional scaling in wayland (no more mpv doing
rendering over the target resolution and then being scaled down). This
protocol also can completely replace the buffer_scale usage that we are
currently using for integer scaling so hopefully this can be removed
sometime in the future. Note that vo_dmabuf_wayland is omitted from the
fractional scale handling because we want the compositor to handle all
the scaling for that VO.
Fixes#9443.
--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).

The situation here is that HWND is always a 32-bit value but the
win32 API also accepts sign-extended values as valid. The trouble
starts when the numeric value is negative, as mpv ignores those.
Apparently this only happens after a while (related to uptime
or number of handles created), which meant this problem was rare.

The watch-later mechanism has always unconditionally wrote start to
files to save the playback position. When this was later expanded to
watch-later-options, this logic was kept in place. But we don't actually
have to unconditionally write this and can allow users to remove the
option from the list if they want to. The start value still requires
some special handling; it should always be written if possible
regardless of the value changing. However, we can just place it within
the default set of options for watch-later-options so it can be removed
like any other.
So far there was no way to sync video to display and have audio sync to
video without changes in pitch.
With this option the audio does not get resampled (pitch change) and
instead the corrected audio speed is applied to audio filters.
Buffering ahead nonstop into the cache results in nonstop disk or network
activity to read stream data from wherever it may originate. Currently,
there's no way to configure the demuxer to back off once it's buffered
ahead enough data, since the cache limit will be perpetually not-reached as
a stream continues to play, until the entire stream is eventually buffered.
On a laptop with an i9-12900H with decoding performed by the iGPU,
watching a locally-saved 1080p video which hasn't been buffered into the
page cache consumes approximately 15 W even with caching enabled. When
configuring a hysteresis to make the demuxer back off, power consumption
drops to 9 W when watching the same video, resulting in a whopping 6 W of
power savings.
To make it possible to attain significant power savings via caching, add
a --demuxer-hysteresis-secs option to configure a hysteresis to make the
demuxer back off until there's only the configured number of seconds
remaining in the cache from the current playback position.
This feature is disabled by default.

This makes no attempt at querying terminal features or handling
terminal errors, as it would require mpv to pass the response codes
from the terminal to the vo instead of interpreting them as
keystrokes made by the user and acting very unpredictably.
Tested with kitty and konsole.
Fixes#9605
currently only supported on x11.
one practical use-case of this is wanting to embed something (such as
dmenu) into the mpv window to use as a menu/selection. there might be
other use-cases as well (e.g doing some shenanigans with `xdotool` or
whatnot).
it's currently possible to:
* listen for 'current-window-scale' change (to check if the
window has been created or not)
* call an external tool like `xdo` or `xdotool` and grab the xid
from mpv's pid.
however it adds unnecessary dependency on external tools when mpv is
fully capable of easily providing this information.

The legacy DRM API adds some complexity to the DRM code. There
are only 4 drivers that do not support the DRM Atomic API:
1. radeon (early GCN amd cards)
2. gma500 (ancient intel GPUs)
3. ast (ASPEED SoCs)
4. nouveau
Going forward, new DRM drivers will be guaranteed to support the atomic
API so this is a safe removal.
The content-type protocol allows mpv to send compositor a hint about the
type of content being displayed on its surface so it could potentially
make some sort of optimization. Fundamentally, this is pretty simple but
since this requires a very new wayland-protocols version (1.27), we have
to mess with the build to add a new define and add a bunch of if's in
here. The protocol itself exposes 4 different types of content: none,
photo, video, and game.
To do that, let's add a new option (wayland-content-type) that lets
users control what hint to send to the compossitor. Since the previous
commit adds a VOCTRL that notifies us about the content being displayed,
we can also add an auto value to this option. As you'd expect, the
compositor hint would be set to photo if mpv's core detects an image,
video for other things, and it is set to none for the special case of
forcing a window when there is not a video track. For completion's sake,
game is also allowed as a value for this option, but in practice there
shouldn't be a reason to use that.
mpv has an internal optimization on a couple of platforms where it will
not render any frames if the window is minimized or hidden. There's at
least once possible use case for wanting to force a render anyway
(screensharing with pipeware) so let's just add a simple switch for
this that always forces mpv to render. Closes#10846.
This is a very simple but easy way of doing it. Ideally, it would be
nice if we could also add some sort of introspection about shader
parameters at runtime, ideally exposing the entire list of parameters as
a custom property dict. But that is a lot of effort for dubious gain.
It's worth noting that, as currently implemented, re-setting
`glsl-shader-opts` to a new value doesn't reset back previously mutated
values to their defaults.
Deduplicate history like the fish shell. So for example
entering "cmd 1" then "cmd 2" then "cmd 3" then "cmd 1"
would result in a history of
[cmd 2][cmd 3][cmd 1]
instead of
[cmd 1][cmd 2][cmd 3][cmd 1]
Adds a function `history_add` to replace directly adding to history.
Adds an option `history_dedup` to activate the deduplication.
Defaults to on.
vo_dmabuf_wayland has its own ra and context so it can handle all the
different hwdec correctly. Unfortunately, this API was pretty clearly
designed with vo_gpu/vo_gpu_next in mind and has a lot of concepts that
don't make sense for vo_dmabuf_wayland. We still want to bolt on a
ra_ctx, but instead let's rework the ra_ctx logic a little bit. First,
this introduces a hidden bool within the ra_ctx_fns that is used to hide
the wldmabuf context from users as an option (unlike the other usual
contexts). We also want to make sure that hidden contexts wouldn't be
autoprobed in the usual ra_ctx_create, so we be sure to skip those in
that function. Additionally, let's create a new ra_ctx_create_by_name
function which does exactly what says. It specifically selects a context
based on a passed string. This function has no probing or option logic
is simplified just for what vo_dmabuf_wayland needs. The api/context
validations functions are modified just a little bit to make sure hidden
contexts are skipped and the documentation is updated to remove this
entries. Fixes#10793.
Wayland VO that can display images from either vaapi or drm hwdec
The PR adds the following changes:
1. a context_wldmabuf context with no gl dependencies
2. no-op ra_wldmabuf and dmabuf_interop_wldmabuf objects
no-op because there is no need to map/unmap the drmprime buffer,
and there is no need to manage any textures.
Tested on both x86_64 and rk3399 AArch64
Pushing E (aka Shift+e) cycles through Editions for containers
that support editions, such as Matroska, although this feature was not
documented before this commit.
We've had some annoying names for interops, which we can't simply
rename because that would break config files and command lines. So we
need to put a little more effort in and add a concept of legacy names
that allow us to continue loading them, but with a warning.
The two I'm renaming here are:
* vaapi-egl -> vaapi (vaapi works with Vulkan too)
* drmprime-drm -> drmprime-overlay (actually describes what it does)
* cuda-nvdec -> cuda (cuda interop is not nvdec specific)
This has had no effect since libplacebo v4.192.0, and was deprecated
upstream a year ago. No deprecation period in mpv is justified by this
being a debug / work-around option.
Removed the outdated information about environmental brightness
with respect to --gamma-factor, and mention that the option is
deprecated and subject to future removal. Also deprecated the
--gamma-auto option as it relies on the same outdated way of doing
things.
In wayland-protocols 1.25, xdg-shell got a version bump which added the
configure_bounds event. The compositor can send this to clients to
indicate that they should not resize past a certain size. For mpv, we'll
choose to only listen to this on reconfig events (i.e. when the window
first appears and if the video resolution changes later in the
playlist). However, this behavior is still exposed as a user option
(default on) because it will neccesarily conflict with a user setting a
specific geometry size and/or window scale. Presumably, if someone is
setting a really large size that goes beyond the bounds of their
monitor, they actually want it like that. The wayland-protocols version
is newer-ish, but we can get around having to poke the build system by
just using a define that exists in the generated xdg-shell header.
In the confusing landscape of hardware video decoding APIs, we have had
a long standing support gap for the v4l2 based APIs implemented for the
various SoCs from Rockship, Amlogic, Allwinner, etc. While VAAPI is the
defacto default for desktop GPUs, the developers who work on these SoCs
(who are not the vendors!) have preferred to implement kernel APIs
rather than maintain a userspace driver as VAAPI would require.
While there are two v4l2 APIs (m2m and requests), and multiple forks of
ffmpeg where support for those APIs languishes without reaching
upstream, we can at least say that these APIs export frames as DRMPrime
dmabufs, and that they use the ffmpeg drm hwcontext.
With those two constants, it is possible for us to write a
hwdec-interop without worrying about the mess underneath - for the most
part.
Accordingly, this change implements a hwdec-interop for any decoder
that produces frames as DRMPrime dmabufs. The bulk of the heavy
lifting is done by the dmabuf interop code we already had from
supporting vaapi, and which I refactored for reusability in a previous
set of changes.
When we combine that with the fact that we can't probe for supported
formats, the new code in this change is pretty simple.
This change also includes the hwcontext_fns that are required for us to
be able to configure the hwcontext used by `hwdec=drm-copy`. This is
technically unrelated, but it seemed a good time to fill this gap.
From a testing perspective, I have directly tested on a RockPRO64,
while others have tested with different flavours of Rockchip and on
Amlogic, providing m2m coverage.
I have some other SoCs that I need to spin up to test with, but I don't
expect big surprises, and when we inevitably need to account for new
special cases down the line, we can do so - we won't be able to support
every possible configuration blindly.
Whether or not the GNOME project has a tendency to make life
difficult for anyone outside their ecosystem, the user manual is
no place for childish rants such as this.
Keep it to what is relevant for users.
Generally, the hard-coded sizes used for the OSC elements are
comfortable regardless of the font used, but the timecode fields have
relatively many characters, and so are affected to a greater degree by
fonts with a wider or narrower average character width than expected.
This allow users to adjust the space reserved for the timecode fields to
compensate.
