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.
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.)
Some functions which expected a codec name (i.e. the name of the video
format itself) were passed a decoder name. Most "native" libavcodec
decoders have the same name as the codec, so this was never an issue.
This should mean that e.g. using "--vd=lavc:h264_mmal --hwdec=mmal"
should now actually enable native surface mode (instead of doing copy-
back).
VDA is being deprecated in OS X 10.11 so this is needed to keep hwdec working.
The code needs libavcodec support which was added recently (to FFmpeg git,
libav doesn't support it).
