This commit adds support for automatic selection of color profiles based on
the display where mpv is initialized, and automatically changes the color
profile when display is changed or the profile itself is changed from
System Preferences.
@UliZappe was responsible with the testing and implementation of a lot of this
commit, including the original implementation of `cocoa_get_icc_profile_path`
(See #594).
Fixes#594
This commit:
- Changes some of the #define and variable names for clarification and
adds comments where appropriate.
- Unifies :srgb and :icc-profile, making them fit into the same step of
the decoding process and removing the weird interactions between both
of them.
- Makes :icc-profile take precedence over :srgb (to significantly reduce
the number of confusing and useless special cases)
- Moves BT709 decompanding (approximate or actual) to the shader in all
cases, making it happen before upscaling (instead of the old 0.45
gamma function). This is the simpler and more proper way to do it.
- Enables the approx gamma function to work with :srgb as well due to
this (since they now share the gamma expansion code).
- Renames :icc-approx-gamma to :approx-gamma since it is no longer tied
to the ICC options or LittleCMS.
- Uses gamma 2.4 as input space for the actual 3DLUT, this is now a
pretty arbitrary factor but I picked 2.4 mainly because a higher pure
power value here seems to produce visually better results with wide
gamut profiles, rather then the previous 1.95 or BT.709.
- Adds the input gamma space to the 3dlut cache header in case we change
it more in the future, or even make it user customizable (though I
don't see why the latter would really be necessary).
- Fixes the OSD's gamma when using :srgb, which was previously still
using the old (0.45) approximation in all cases.
- Updates documentation on :srgb, it was still mentioning the old
behavior from circa a year ago.
This commit should serve to both open up and make the CMS/shader code much
more accessible and less confusing/error-prone and simultaneously also
improve the performance of 3DLUTs with wide gamut color spaces.
I would liked to have made it more modular but almost all of these
changes are interdependent, save for the documentation updates.
Note: Right now, the "3DLUT takes precedence over SRGB" logic is just
coded into gl_lcms.c's compile_shaders function. Ideally, this should be
done earlier, when parsing the options (by overriding the actual
opts.srgb flag) and output a warning to the user.
Note: I'm not sure how well this works together with real-world
subtitles that may need to be color corrected as well. I'm not sure
whether :approx-gamma needs to apply to subtitles as well. I'll need to
test this on proper files later.
Note: As of now, linear light scaling is still intrinsically tied to
either :srgb or :icc-profile. It would be thinkable to have this as an
extra option, :linear-scaling or similar, that could be used with or
without the two color management options.
This uses the value of 1.95 as an approximation for the exact gamma
curve, which replicates the behavior of popular video software including
anything in the Apple ecosystem, as per issue #534.
gl_video.c contains all rendering code, gl_lcms.c the .icc loader and
creation of 3D LUT (and all LittleCMS specific code). vo_opengl.c is
reduced to interfacing between the various parts.
