This is not needed anymore, because we decided that the PAR of the
decoded video matters, and not the PAR of the filtered video that
arrives at the VO.
When mpv is started with some video filters set (--vf is used), and
hardware decoding is requested, and hardware decoding would be possible,
but is prevented due to video filters that accept software formats only,
the fallback didn't work properly sometimes.
This fallback works rather violently: it tries to initialize the filter
chain, and if it fails it throws away the frame decoded using the
hardware, and retries with software. The case that didn't work was when
decoding the current packet didn't immediately lead to a new frame. Then
the filter chain wouldn't be reinitialized, and the playloop would stop
playback as soon as it encounters the error flag.
Fix this by resetting the filter error flag (back to "uninitialized"),
which is a rather violent, but somewhat working solution.
The fallback in general should perhaps be cleaned up later.
If the --fps option was given (MPOpts->force_fps), the demuxer FPS value
was overwritten with the forced value. This was fine, since the demuxer
value wasn't needed anymore. But with the recent changes not to write to
the demuxer stream headers, we don't want to do this anymore. So
maintain the (forced/updated) FPS value in dec_video->fps.
The removed code in loadfile.c is probably redundant, and an artifact
from past refactorings.
Note that sub.c will now always use the demuxer FPS value, instead of
the user override value. I think this is fine, because it used the
demuxer's video size values too. (And it's rare that these values are
used at all.)
Now the actual decoder doesn't need to care about this anymore, and it's
handled in generic code instead. This simplifies vd_lavc.c, and in
particular we don't need to detect format changes in the old way
anymore.
The only reason why these structs were dynamically allocated was to
avoid recursive includes in stheader.h, which is (or was) a very central
file included by almost all other files. (If a struct is referenced via
a pointer type only, it can be forward referenced, and the definition of
the struct is not needed.) Now that they're out of stheader.h, this
difference doesn't matter anymore, and the code can be simplified.
Also sneak in some sanity checks.
This used to be needed to access the generic stream header from the
specific headers, which in turn was needed because the decoders had
access only to the specific headers. This is not the case anymore, so
this can finally be removed again.
Also move the "format" field from the specific headers to sh_stream.
This is similar to the sh_audio commit.
This is mostly cosmetic in nature, except that it also adds automatical
freeing of the decoder driver's state struct (which was in
sh_video->context, now in dec_video->priv).
Also remove all the stheader.h fields that are not needed anymore.
This drops the --pp option, which was probably broken for a while. The
option automatically inserted the "pp" filter. The value passed to it
was ignored (which is probably broken, it always selected maximal
quality).
Inserting this filter can be done simply with --vf=pp, so this is not
needed anymore.
This means most code accessing this struct must now include hwdec.h
instead of dec_video.h. I just put it into dec_video.h at first because
I thought a separate file would be a waste, but it's more proper to do
it this way, as there are too many files which include dec_video.h only
to get the mp_hwdec_info definition.
vo_opengl always loads the hwdec backend lazily, so hwdec_request_api()
has to be called to possibly load it. This makes vf_vavpp work with
software decoding. (Hardware decoding loads the backend before the
filter is initialized, so this case is different.)
Also, the VFCTRL_GET_HWDEC_INFO call doesn't need to be checked. If it
fails, the info will be left blank.
This initialized only the load_api and load_api_ctx fields, and left the
other fields as they were. This failed with vf_vavpp, which assumed all
fields are initialized.
This commit adds a new build system based on waf. configure and Makefile
are deprecated effective immediately and someday in the future they will be
removed (they are still available by running ./old-configure).
You can find how the choice for waf came to be in `DOCS/waf-buildsystem.rst`.
TL;DR: we couldn't get the same level of abstraction and customization with
other build systems we tried (CMake and autotools).
For guidance on how to build the software now, take a look at README.md
and the cross compilation guide.

The existing code tried to remove the "extra" profile flags for h264.
FF_PROFILE_H264_INTRA doesn't matter for us at all, because it's set
only for profiles the vdpau/vaapi APIs don't support.
The FF_PROFILE_H264_CONSTRAINED flag on the other hand is added to
H264_BASELINE, except that it makes the file a real subset of H264_MAIN
and H264_HIGH. Removing that flag would select the BASELINE profile,
which appears to be rarely supported by hardware decoders. This means we
accidentally rejected perfectly hardware decodable files. Use MAIN for
it instead.
(vaapi has explicit support for CONSTRAINED_BASELINE, but it seems to be
a new thing, and is not reported as supported where I tried. So don't
bother to check it, and do the same as on vdpau.)
See github issue #204.
When blending OSD and subtitles onto the video, we write bogus alpha
values. This doesn't normally matter, because these values are normally
unused and discarded. But at least on Wayland, the alpha values are used
by the compositor and leads to transparent windows even with opaque
video on places where the OSD happens to use transparency.
(Also see github issue #338.)
Until now, the alpha basically contained garbage. The source factor
GL_SRC_ALPHA meant that alpha was multiplied with itself. Use GL_ONE
instead (which is why we have to use glBlendFuncSeparate()). This should
give correct results, even with video that has alpha. (Or at least it's
something close to correct, I haven't thought too hard how the
compositor will blend it, and in fact I couldn't manage to test it.)
If glBlendFuncSeparate() is not available, fall back to glBlendFunc(),
which does the same as the code did before this commit. Technically, we
support GL 1.1, but glBlendFuncSeparate is 1.4, and I guess we should
try not to crash if vo_opengl_old runs on a system with GL 1.1 drivers
only.
This was supposed to handle preemption better. I still think the current
state isn't very nice, since the decoder can "accidentally" call the
previous render function after preemption (instead of calling the
reloaded function), so there might be issues. But all in all, this
dummy_render function is a bit confusing, and still not entirely
correct, so it's not worth it.
This removes "--hwdec=crystalhd".
I doubt anyone even tried to use this. But even if someone wants to
use it, the decoders can still be explicitly invoked with e.g.:
--vd=lavc:h264_crystalhd
The only advantage our special code provided was fallback to
software decoding. (But I'm not sure how the ffmpeg crystalhd
pseudo-decoder actually behaves.)
Removing this will allow some simplifications as soon as we don't need
vdpau_old.c anymore.
This uses vdpau OpenGL interop to convert a vdpau surface to a texture.
Note that this is a bit weak and primitive. Deinterlacing (or any other
form of vdpau postprocessing) is not supported. vo_opengl chroma scaling
and chroma sample position are not supported. Internally, the vdpau
video surfaces are converted to a RGBA surface first, because using the
video surfaces directly is too complicated. (These surfaces are always
split into separate fields, and the vo_opengl core expects progressive
frames or frames with weaved fields.)
Instead of checking for resolution and image format changes, always
fully reinit on any parameter change. Let init_video do all required
initializations, which simplifies things a little bit.
Change the gl_video/hardware decoding interop API slightly, so that
hwdec initialization gets the full image parameters.
Also make some cosmetic changes.
These formats are helpful for distinguishing surfaces with and without
alpha. Unfortunately, Libav and older version of FFmpeg don't support
them, so code will break. Fix this by treating these formats specially
on the mpv side, mapping them to RGBA on Libav, and unseting the alpha
bit in the mp_imgfmt_desc struct.
Before the bitstream_buffers field was deprecated, you had to free it,
otherwise you would leak memory.
(Although vdpau.c uses a new API, they managed to introduce a new
deprecation this quickly. This is a complaint.)
This introduces a memory leak of 12 bytes per file on every file on some
_older_ libavcodec versions. This is minor enough that I don't care.
Video has up to 4 textures, if you include obscure formats with alpha.
This means alpha formats could always overwrite the first scaler
texture, leading to corrupted video display. This problem was recently
brought to light, when commit 571e697 started to explicitly unbind all 4
video textures, which broke rendering for non-alpha formats as well.
Fix this by reserving the correct number of texture units.
