These are different AVCodecContext fields. pkt_timebase is the correct
one for identifying the unit of packet/frame timestamps when decoding,
while time_base is for encoding. Some decoders also overwrite the
time_base field with some unrelated codec metadata.
pkt_timebase does not exist in Libav, so an #if is required.
Instead of passing through double float timestamps opaquely, pass real
timestamps. Do so by always setting a valid timebase on the
AVCodecContext for audio and video decoding.
Specifically try not to round timestamps to a too coarse timebase, which
could round off small adjustments to timestamps (such as for start time
rebasing or demux_timeline). If the timebase is considered too coarse,
make it finer.
This gets rid of the need to do this specifically for some hardware
decoding wrapper. The old method of passing through double timestamps
was also a bit questionable. While libavcodec is not supposed to
interpret timestamps at all if no timebase is provided, it was
needlessly tricky. Also, it actually does compare them with
AV_NOPTS_VALUE. This change will probably also reduce confusion in the
future.
The hw_subfmt field roughly corresponds to the field
AVHWFramesContext.sw_format in ffmpeg. The ffmpeg one is of the type
AVPixelFormat (instead of the underlying hardware format), so it's a
good idea to switch to this too for preparation.
Now the hw_subfmt field is an mp_imgfmt instead of an opaque/API-
specific number. VDPAU and Direct3D11 already used mp_imgfmt, but
Videotoolbox and VAAPI had to be switched.
One somewhat user-visible change is that the verbose log will now always
show the hw_subfmt as image format, instead of as nonsensical number.
(In the end it would be good if we could switch to AVHWFramesContext
completely, but the upstream API is incomplete and doesn't cover
Direct3D11 and Videotoolbox.)
This greatly improves the result when decoding typical (ST.2084) HDR
content, since the job of tone mapping gets significantly easier when
you're only mapping from 1000 to 250, rather than 10000 to 250.
The difference is so drastic that we can now even reasonably use
`hdr-tone-mapping=linear` and get a very perceptually uniform result
that is only slightly darker than normal. (To compensate for the extra
dynamic range)
Due to weird implementation details, this only seems to be present on
keyframes (or something like that), so we have to cache the last seen
value for the frames in between.
Also, in some files the metadata is just completely broken /
nonsensical, so I decided to apply a simple heuristic to detect
completely broken metadata.
This involves multiple changes:
1. Brightness metadata is split into nominal peak and signal peak.
For a quick and dirty explanation: nominal peak is the brightest value
that your color space can represent (i.e. the brightness of an encoded
1.0), and signal peak is the brightest value that actually occurs in
the video (i.e. the brightest thing that's displayed).
2. vo_opengl uses a new decision logic to figure out the right nom_peak
and sig_peak for all situations. It also does a better job of picking
the right target gamut/colorspace to use for the OSD. (Which still is
and still should be treated as sRGB). This change in logic also
fixes#3293 en passant.
3. Since it was growing rapidly, the logic for auto-guessing / inferring
the right colorimetry configuration (in pass_colormanage) was split from
the logic for actually performing the adaptation (now pass_color_map).
Right now, the new logic doesn't do a whole lot since HDR metadata is
still ignored (but not for long).
This has two reasons:
1. I tend to add new fields to this metadata, and every time I've done
so I've consistently forgotten to update all of the dozens of places in
which this colorimetry metadata might end up getting used. While most
usages don't really care about most of the metadata, sometimes the
intend was simply to “copy” the colorimetry metadata from one struct to
another. With this being inside a substruct, those lines of code can now
simply read a.color = b.color without having to care about added or
removed fields.
2. It makes the type definitions nicer for upcoming refactors.
In going through all of the usages, I also expanded a few where I felt
that omitting the “young” fields was a bug.
No method of taking a screenshot was implemented at all. vo_opengl
lacked window screenshotting, because ANGLE doesn't allow reading the
frontbuffer. There was no way to read back from a D3D11 texture either.
Implement reading image data from D3D11 textures. This is a low-quality
effort to get basic screenshots done. Eventually there will be a better
implementation: once we use AVHWFramesContext natively, the readback
implementation will be in libavcodec, and will be able to cache the
staging texture correctly. Hopefully. (For now it doesn't even have a
AVHWFramesContext for D3D11 yet. But the abstraction is more appropriate
for this purpose.)
OK, this was dumb. The file didn't have much to do with ANGLE, and the
functionality can simply be moved to d3d.c. That file contains helpers
for decoding, but can always be present (on Windows) since it doesn't
access any D3D specific libavcodec APIs. Thus it doesn't need to be
conditionally built like the actual hwaccel wrappers.
Until now, we've always converted vdpau video surfaces to RGB, and then
mapped the resulting RGB texture. Change this so that the surface is
mapped as NV12 plane textures.
The reason this wasn't done until now is because vdpau surfaces are
mapped in an "interlaced" way as separate fields, even for progressive
video. This requires messy reinterleraving. It turns out that even
though it's an extra processing step, the result can be faster than
going through the video mixer for RGB conversion.
Other than some potential speed-gain, doing this has multiple other
advantages. We can apply our own color conversion, which is important in
more complex cases. We can correctly apply debanding and potentially
other processing that requires chroma-specific or in-YUV handling.
If deinterlacing is enabled, this switches back to the old RGB
conversion method. Until we have at least a primitive deinterlacer in
vo_opengl, this will stay this way. The d3d11 and vaapi code paths are
similar. (Of course these don't require any crazy field reinterleaving.)
We now have a video filter that uses the d3d11 video processor, so it
makes no sense to have one in the VO interop code. The VO uses it for
formats not directly supported by ANGLE (so the video data is converted
to a RGB texture, which ANGLE can take in).
Change this so that the video filter is automatically inserted if
needed. Move the code that maps RGB surfaces to its own inteorp backend.
Add a bunch of new image formats, which are used to enforce the new
constraints, and to automatically insert the filter only when needed.
The added vf mechanism to auto-insert the d3d11vpp filter is very dumb
and primitive, and will work only for this specific purpose. The format
negotiation mechanism in the filter chain is generally not very pretty,
and mostly broken as well. (libavfilter has a different mechanism, and
these mechanisms don't match well, so vf_lavfi uses some sort of hack.
It only works because hwaccel and non-hwaccel formats are strictly
separated.)
The RGB interop is now only used with older ANGLE versions. The only
reason I'm keeping it is because it's relatively isolated (uses only
existing mechanisms and adds no new concepts), and because I want to be
able to compare the behavior of the old code with the new one for
testing. It will be removed eventually.
If ANGLE has NV12 interop, P010 is now handled by converting to NV12
with the video processor, instead of converting it to RGB and using the
old mechanism to import that as a texture.
For some reason, the d3d9/dxva2/d3d11 DLLs are still optional. But we
don't need to try so hard to keep exact references. In fact, there's no
reason to unload them at all.
So load them once in a central place. For simplicity, the d3d9/d3d11
backends both load all DLLs. (They will error out only if the required
DLLs could not be loaded.)
In theory, we could just call LoadLibrary multiple times (without
calling FreeLibrary), but I'm slightly worried that this could be
detected as a "bug", or that the reference count could even have a low
static limit that could be hit soon.
This uses the normal autoprobing rules like "auto", but rejects anything
that isn't flagged as copying data back to system memory.
The chunk in command.c was dead code, so remove it instead of updating
it.
We don't have any reason to disable either. Both are loaded dynamically
at runtime anyway. There is also no reason why dxva2 would disappear
from libavcodec any time soon.
This uses EGL_ANGLE_stream_producer_d3d_texture_nv12 and related
extensions to map the D3D textures coming from the hardware decoder
directly in GL.
In theory this would be trivial to achieve, but unfortunately ANGLE does
not have a mechanism to "import" D3D textures as GL textures. Instead,
an awkward mechanism via EGL_KHR_stream was implemented, which involves
at least 5 extensions and a lot of glue code. (Even worse than VAAPI EGL
interop, and very far from the simplicity you get on OSX.)
The ANGLE mechanism so far supports only the NV12 texture format, which
means 10 bit won't work. It also does not work in ES3 mode yet. For
these reasons, the "old" ID3D11VideoProcessor code is kept and used as a
fallback.
The main change is with video/hwdec.h. mp_hwdec_info is made opaque (and
renamed to mp_hwdec_devices). Its accessors are mainly thread-safe (or
documented where not), which makes the whole thing saner and cleaner. In
particular, thread-safety rules become less subtle and more obvious.
The new internal API makes it easier to support multiple OpenGL interop
backends. (Although this is not done yet, and it's not clear whether it
ever will.)
This also removes all the API-specific fields from mp_hwdec_ctx and
replaces them with a "ctx" field. For d3d in particular, we drop the
mp_d3d_ctx struct completely, and pass the interfaces directly.
Remove the emulation checks from vaapi.c and vdpau.c; they are
pointless, and the checks that matter are done on the VO layer.
The d3d hardware decoders might slightly change behavior: dxva2-copy
will not use the VO device anymore if the VO supports proper interop.
This pretty much assumes that any in such cases the VO will not use any
form of exclusive mode, which makes using the VO device in copy mode
unnecessary.
This is a big refactor. Some things may be untested and could be broken.
Including initguid.h at the top of a file that uses references to GUIDs
causes the GUIDs to be declared globally with __declspec(selectany). The
'selectany' attribute tells the linker to consolidate multiple
definitions of each GUID, which would be great except that, in Cygwin
and MinGW GCC 6.1, this method of linking makes the GUIDs conflict with
the ones declared in libuuid.a.
Since initguid.h obsoletes libuuid.a in modern compilers that support
__declspec(selectany), add initguid.h to all files that use GUIDs and
remove libuuid.a from the build.
Fixes#3097
In particular, this moves the depth test to common code.
Should be functionally equivalent, except that for DXVA2, the
IDirectXVideoDecoderService_GetDecoderRenderTargets API is called
more often potentially.
Basically this gets rid of the need for the accessors in d3d11va.h, and
the code can be cleaned up a little bit.
Note that libavcodec only defines a ID3D11VideoDecoderOutputView pointer
in the last plane pointers, but it tolerates/passes through the other
plane pointers we set.
This uses ID3D11VideoProcessor to convert the video to a RGBA surface,
which is then bound to ANGLE. Currently ANGLE does not provide any way
to bind nv12 surfaces directly, so this will have to do.
ID3D11VideoContext1 would give us slightly more control about the
colorspace conversion, though it's still not good, and not available
in MinGW headers yet.
The video processor is created lazily, because we need to have the coded
frame size, of which AVFrame and mp_image have no concept of. Doing the
creation lazily is less of a pain than somehow hacking the coded frame
size into mp_image.
I'm not really sure how ID3D11VideoProcessorInputView is supposed to
work. We recreate it on every frame, which is simple and hopefully
doesn't affect performance.
For Mediacodec in particular we don't care about the format. It can just
decode to whatever it wants. The only case we would care about is it not
returning an opaque format if we don't have proper interop, but
libavcodec always returns non-opaque formats by default.
Use the recently added lavc_suffix mechanism to select the wrapper
decoder.
With all hwdec callbacks being optional, and RPI/Mediacodec having only
dummy callbacks, all the callbacks can be removed as well.
The result is that the vd_lavc_hwdec struct for both of them is tiny.
It's better to move them to vd_lavc.c directly, because they are so
trivial and small.
This is intended for cases when --hwdec needs to override the decoder
implementation in use, like for example on the RPI.
It does two things:
1. Allow the hwdec to indicate a decoder suffix. libavcodec by
convention adds a suffix to all wrapper decoders, and here we start
relying on it. While not necessarily the best idea, it's the only
thing we got. libavcodec's hwaccel list is useless, because it only
has the codec ID, not the associated decoder's name.
2. Make --hwdec=auto work properly. It shouldn't fail anymore, and hwdec
probing should reliably work, even if a different decoder is selected
with --vd. The semantics of --hwdec should dictate that it overrides
the default decoder.
Until now, we have made the assumption that a driver will use only 1
hardware surface format. the format is dictated by the driver (you
don't create surfaces with a specific format - you just pass a
rt_format and get a surface that will be in a specific driver-chosen
format).
In particular, the renderer created a dummy surface to probe the format,
and hoped the decoder would produce the same format. Due to a driver
bug this required a workaround to actually get the same format as the
driver did.
Change this so that the format is determined in the decoder. The format
is then passed down as hw_subfmt, which allows the renderer to configure
itself with the correct format. If the hardware surface changes its
format midstream, the renderer can be reconfigured using the normal
mechanisms.
This calls va_surface_init_subformat() each time after the decoder
returns a surface. Since libavcodec/AVFrame has no concept of sub-
formats, this is unavoidable. It creates and destroys a derived
VAImage, but this shouldn't have any bad performance effects (at
least I didn't notice any measurable effects).
Note that vaDeriveImage() failures are silently ignored as some
drivers (the vdpau wrapper) support neither vaDeriveImage, nor EGL
interop. In addition, we still probe whether we can map an image
in the EGL interop code. This is important as it's the only way
to determine whether EGL interop is supported at all. With respect
to the driver bug mentioned above, it doesn't matter which format
the test surface has.
In vf_vavpp, also remove the rt_format guessing business. I think the
existing logic was a bit meaningless anyway. It's not even a given
that vavpp produces the same rt_format for output.
The underlying intention of this code is to make changing
--videotoolbox-format at runtime work. For this reason, the format can't
just be statically setup, but must be read from the option at runtime.
This means the format is not fixed anymore, and we have to make sure the
renderer is property reinitialized if the format changes. There is
currently no way to trigger reinit on this level, which is why the
mp_image_params.hw_subfmt field was introduced.
One sketchy thing remains: normally, the renderer is supposed to be
involved with VO format negotiation, which would ensure that the VO
can take the format at all. Since the hw_subfmt is not part of this
format negotiation, it's implied the get_vt_fmt() callback only
returns formats supported by the renderer. This is not necessarily
clear because vo_opengl checks this with converted_imgfmt separately.
None of this matters in practice though, because we know all formats
are always supported.
(This still requires somehow triggering decoder reinit to make the
change effective.)
Until now, the presence of the process_image() callback was used to set
a delay queue with a hardcoded size. Change this to a vd_lavc_hwdec
field instead, so the decoder can explicitly set this if it's really
needed.
Do this so process_image() can be used in the VideoToolbox glue code for
something entirely unrelated.
