This is a peculiar filter I stumbled upon while playing around with
windows, it removes aliasing almost completely while not ringing at all.
The downside is that it's quite blurry, but at high resolutions it's not
so noticeable.
This merges all of the scaler-related options into a single
configuration struct, and also cleans up the way they're passed through
the code. (For example, the scaler index is no longer threaded through
pass_sample, just the scaler configuration itself, and there's no longer
duplication of the params etc.)
In addition, this commit makes scale-down more principled, and turns it
into a scaler in its own right - so there's no longer an ugly separation
between scale and scale-down in the code.
Finally, the radius stuff has been made more proper - filters always
have a radius now (there's no more radius -1), and get a new .resizable
attribute instead for when it's tunable.
User-visible changes:
1. scale-down has been renamed dscale and now has its own set of config
options (dscale-param1, dscale-radius) etc., instead of reusing
scale-param1 (which was arguably a bug).
2. The default radius is no longer fixed at 3, but instead uses that
filter's preferred radius by default. (Scalers with a default radius
other than 3 include sinc, gaussian, box and triangle)
3. scale-radius etc. now goes down to 0.5, rather than 1.0. 0.5 is the
smallest radius that theoretically makes sense, and indeed it's used
by at least one filter (nearest).
Apart from that, it should just be internal changes only.
Note that this sets up for the refactor discussed in #1720, which would
be to merge scaler and window configurations (include parameters etc.)
into a single, simplified string. In the code, this would now basically
just mean getting rid of all the OPT_FLOATRANGE etc. lines related to
scalers and replacing them by a single function that parses a string and
updates the struct scaler_config as appropriate.
This makes the core much more elegant, reusable, reconfigurable and also
allows us to more easily add aliases for specific configurations.
Furthermore, this lets us apply a generic blur factor / window function
to arbitrary filters, so we can finally "mix and match" in order to
fine-tune windowing functions.
A few notes are in order:
1. The current system for configuring scalers is ugly and rapidly
getting unwieldy. I modified the man page to make it a bit more
bearable, but long-term we have to do something about it; especially
since..
2. There's currently no way to affect the blur factor or parameters of
the window functions themselves. For example, I can't actually
fine-tune the kaiser window's param1, since there's simply no way to
do so in the current API - even though filter_kernels.c supports it
just fine!
3. This removes some lesser used filters (especially those which are
purely window functions to begin with). If anybody asks, you can get
eg. the old behavior of scale=hanning by using
scale=box:scale-window=hanning:scale-radius=1 (and yes, the result is
just as terrible as that sounds - which is why nobody should have
been using them in the first place).
4. This changes the semantics of the "triangle" scaler slightly - it now
has an arbitrary radius. This can possibly produce weird results for
people who were previously using scale-down=triangle, especially if
in combination with scale-radius (for the usual upscaling). The
correct fix for this is to use scale-down=bilinear_slow instead,
which is an alias for triangle at radius 1.
In regards to the last point, in future I want to make it so that
filters have a filter-specific "preferred radius" (for the ones that
are arbitrarily tunable), once the configuration system for filters has
been redesigned (in particular in a way that will let us separate scale
and scale-down cleanly). That way, "triangle" can simply have the
preferred radius of 1 by default, while still being tunable. (Rather
than the default radius being hard-coded to 3 always)
The format doesn't change. Some details are different, though. For
example, it will now accept option values with spaces even if they're
not quoted. (I see no reason why the user should be forced to add
quotes.)
The code is now smaller and should be much easier to extend. It also
can load config from in-memory buffers, which might be helpful in the
future.
read_file() should eventually be replaced with stream_read_complete().
But since the latter function may access options under various
circumstances, and also needs access to the mpv_global struct, there
is a separate implementation for now.
* unify passthrough and pcm exclusive mode format setting/testing
* set passthrough format parameters correctly
* support all of mpv's existing passthrough formats
* automatically test passthrough with exclusive mode and enable
exclusive if it succeeds, even if it was not explictly requested.
this obviates the need for --ao=wasapi,wasapi=exclusive
* if passthrough fails (such as the device doesn't support the
format), fallback to either exclusive pcm or shared mode depending
on what the user specified. Right now this isn't very useful as
it still fails due to the decoder path remainin stuck on spdif.
fixes#1742
Use OPT_CHOICE_C() instead of the custom parser. The functionality is
pretty much equivalent.
(On a side note, it seems --video-stereo-mode can't be removed, because
it controls whether to "reduce" stereo video to mono, which is also the
default. In fact I'm not sure how this should be handled at all.)
The standard say:
NoDisplay means "this application exists, but don't display it in the menus".
Now that --force-window --idle is enabled, we can remove it.
Closes#1755.
libswresample doesn't normalize when remixing to a float format. This
will cause clipping due to float samples being out of the allowed range.
Fortunately this extremely bad default can be changed.
This does not happen with libavresample: it normalizes by default.
Fixes#1752.
This can be set to select a number of default settings that help mpv
pretend that it has a GUI.
I haven't decided yet whether I really want to use the profile mechanism
for this. There are a number of weird details that are not so easy to
handle with profiles, such as disabling pseudo-gui mode again (you can't
unset profiles directly). So this might change. But for now it will do.
There also should be a better way to store builtin profiles.
Unfortunately, the old crappy MPlayer config file parser needs on-disk
files, so just use a bunch of function calls for now.
It simply doesn't work, and is hard to make work. Lua 5.3 is a different
language from 5.1 and 5.2, and is different enough to make adding
support a major issue. Most importantly, 5.3 introduced integer types,
which completely mess up any code which deals with numbers.
I tried to make this a compile time check, but failed. Still at least
try to avoid selecting the 5.3 pkg-config package when the generic "lua"
name is used (why can't Lua upstream just provide an official .pc
file...). Maybe this actually covers all cases.
Fixes#1729 (kind of).
Per-app volume would change the volume across all instances of the same
application, while a private volume control (HAS_PER_APP_VOLUME)
obviously should influence only one instance/audio stream only.
Take advantage of the fact that list_devs is called with a
hotplug_inited ao. Also eliminate unnecessary nested function
abstraction of hotplug_(un)init and list_devs. However, keep list_devs
in ao_wasapi_utils.c since it uses the private functions get_device_id,
get_device_name and exposing these would require including headers for
IMMDevice in ao_wasapi_utils.h.
