vo_wayland was removed during the wayland rewrite done in 0.28. However,
it is still useful for systems that do not have OpenGL.
The new wayland_common code makes vo_wayland much simpler, and
eliminates many of the issues the previous vo_wayland had.
all the get_property_* usages were removed because in some circumstances
they can lead to deadlocks. they were replaced by accessing the vo and
mp_vo_opts structs directly, like on other vos.
additionally the mpv helper was split into a mpv and libmpv helper, to
differentiate between private and public APIs and for future changes
like a macOS vulkan context for vo=gpu.
This partially reverts commit a9d83eac40
("Remove optical disc fancification layers").
Mostly due to the timestamp crap, this was never really going to work.
The playback layer is sensitive to timestamps, and derives the playback
time directly from the low level packet timestamps. DVD/BD works
differently, and libdvdnav/libbluray do not make it easy at all to
compensate for this. Which is why it never worked well, but not doing it
at all is even more awful.
demux_disc.c tried this and rewrote packet timestamps from low level TS
to playback time. So restore demux_disc.c, which should bring behavior
back to the old often non-working but slightly better state.
I did not revert anything that affects components above the demuxer
layer. For example, the properties for switching DVD angles or listing
disc titles are still gone. (Disc titles could be reimplemented as
editions. But not by me.)
This commit modifies the reverted code a bit; this can't be avoided,
because the internal API changed quite a bit. The old seek resync in
demux_lavf.c (which was a hack) is replaced with a hack. SEEK_FORCE and
demux_params.external_stream are new additions.
Some of this could/should be further cleaned up. If you don't want
"proper" DVD/BD support to disappear, you should probably volunteer.
Now why am I wasting my time for this? Just because some idiot users are
too lazy to rip their ever-wearing out shitty physical discs? Then why
should I not be lazy and drop support completely? They won't even be
thankful for me maintaining this horrible garbage for no compensation.
The completion function itself now parses --list-options on the first
tab press and caches the results. This does mean a slight delay on that
first tab press, but it will only do this if the argument being
completed looks like an option (i.e. starts with "-"), so there is never
a delay when just completing a file name. I've also put some effort into
making it reasonably fast; on my machine it's consistently under 100 ms,
more than half of which is mpv itself.
Installation of zsh completion is now done unconditionally because it's
nothing more than copying a file. If you really don't want it installed,
set zshdir to empty: `./waf configure --zshdir= ...`
Improvements in functionality compared to the old script:
* Produces the right results for mpv binaries other than the one it was
installed with (like a dev build for testing changes).
* Does not require running mpv at build time, so it won't cause
problems with cross compilation.
* Handles aliases.
* Slightly nicer handling of options that take comma-separated values
and/or sub-options: A space is now inserted at the end instead of a
comma, allowing you to immediately start typing the next argument,
but typing a comma will still remove the automatically added space,
and = and : will now do that too, so you can immediately add a
sub-option.
* More general/flexible handling of values for options that print their
possible values with --option=help. The code as is could handle quite
a few more options (*scale, demuxers, decoders, ...), but nobody
wants to maintain that list here so we'll just stick with what the
old completion script already did.
skip-logo.lua is just what I wanted to have. Explanations are on the top
of that file. As usual, all documentation threatens to remove this stuff
all the time, since this stuff is just for me, and unlike a normal user
I can afford the luxuary of hacking the shit directly into the player.
vf_fingerprint is needed to support this script. It needs to scale down
video frames as part of its operation. For that, it uses zimg. zimg is
much faster than libswscale and generates more correct output. (The
filter includes a runtime fallback, but it doesn't even work because
libswscale fucks up and can't do YUV->Gray with range adjustment.)
Note on the algorithm: seems almost too simple, but was suggested to me.
It seems to be pretty effective, although long time experience with
false positives is missing. At first I wanted to use dHash [1][2], which
is also pretty simple and effective, but might actually be worse than
the implemented mechanism. dHash has the advantage that the fingerprint
is smaller. But exact matching is too unreliable, and you'd still need
to determine the number of different bits for fuzzier comparison. So
there wasn't really a reason to use it.

I once created this because someone wanted to use vapoursynth without
the Python dependency. No idea if anyone ever actually used it. It's
sort of icky (it calls itself "lazy" to preempt complaints about how
much it sucks), and complicates the build process. Kill it.
It seems much more promising to have something like this:
https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapoursynth/issues/386
This would either solve the build distribution problem by relaxing the
Python dependency, and/or allow a Lua backend to be included without
pain.
This filter wasn't referenced anywhere and thus was dead code. It should
have been in the audio filter list in user_filters.c. This was intended
as compatibility wrapper (to avoid breaking old command lines and config
files), and has no real use. Apparently I forgot to add it to the filter
list (did I even test this shit?), and so it was rotting around for 1.5
years doing nothing (just like myself).
Note that users can just use the libavfilter provided filter to force
resampling, just that it has a different name and different options.
There's also af_format to force inserting auto conversion through the
internal f_swsresample filter.
Useless garbage.
This was once added to test whether vdpau presentation feedback could be
used. Results were always unsatisfactory, and now vdpau is dead.
Somewhat similar to the old --cache-file, except for the demuxer cache.
Instead of keeping packet data in memory, it's written to disk and read
back when needed.
The idea is to reduce main memory usage, while allowing fast seeking in
large cached network streams (especially live streams). Keeping the
packet metadata on disk would be rather hard (would use mmap or so, or
rewrite the entire demux.c packet queue handling), and since it's
relatively small, just keep it in memory.
Also for simplicity, the disk cache is append-only. If you're watching
really long livestreams, and need pruning, you're probably out of luck.
This still could be improved by trying to free unused blocks with
fallocate(), but since we're writing multiple streams in an interleaved
manner, this is slightly hard.
Some rather gross ugliness in packet.h: we want to store the file
position of the cached data somewhere, but on 32 bit architectures, we
don't have any usable 64 bit members for this, just the buf/len fields,
which add up to 64 bit - so the shitty union aliases this memory.
Error paths untested. Side data (the complicated part of trying to
serialize ffmpeg packets) untested.
Stream recording had to be adjusted. Some minor details change due to
this, but probably nothing important.
The change in attempt_range_joining() is because packets in cache
have no valid len field. It was a useful check (heuristically
finding broken cases), but not a necessary one.
Various other approaches were tried. It would be interesting to list
them and to mention the pros and cons, but I don't feel like it.
Like hwdec_cuda, you get a big #ifdef mess if you try and keep the
OpenGL and Vulkan interops in the same file. So, I've refactored
them into separate files in a similar way.
Linux analog TV support (via tv://) was excessively complex, and
whenever I attempted to use it (cameras or loopback devices), it didn't
work well, or would have required some major work to update it. It's
very much stuck in the analog past (my favorite are the frequency tables
in frequencies.c for analog TV channels which don't exist anymore).
Especially cameras and such work fine with libavdevice and better than
tv://, for example:
mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0
(adding --profile=low-latency --untimed even makes it mostly realtime)
Adding a new input layer that targets such "modern" uses would be
acceptable, if anyone is interested in it. The old TV code is just too
focused on actual analog TV.
DVB is rather obscure, but has an active maintainer, so don't remove it.
However, the demux/stream ctrl layer must go, so remove controls for
channel switching. Most of these could be reimplemented by using the
normal method for option runtime changes.
This removes anything related to DVD/BD/CD that negatively affected the
core code. It includes trying to rewrite timestamps (since DVDs and
Blurays do not set packet stream timestamps to playback time, and can
even have resets mid-stream), export of chapters, stream languages,
export of title/track lists, and all that.
Only basic seeking is supported. It is very much possible that seeking
completely fails on some discs (on some parts of the timeline), because
timestamp rewriting was removed.
Note that I don't give a shit about optical media. If you want to watch
them, rip them. Keeping some bare support for DVD/BD is the most I'm
going to do to appease the type of lazy, obnoxious users who will care.
There are other players which are better at optical discs.
stream_dvd.c contained large amounts of ancient, unmaintained code,
which has been historically moved to libdvdnav. Basically, it's full of
low level parsing of DVD on-disc structures.
Kill it for good. Users can use the remaining dvdnav support (which
basically operates in non-menu mode). Users have reported that
libdvdread sometimes works better, but this is just libdvdnav's problem
and not ours.
Mesa supports the EGL_CHROMIUM_sync_control extension, and it's
available out of the box with AMD drivers. In practice, this is exactly
the same as GLX_OML_sync_control, but for EGL. The extension
specification is separate from the GLX one though, and buried somewhere
in the Chromium code.
This appears to work, although I don't know if it really works.
In theory, this could be useful for other EGL targets. Support code for
it could have been added to egl_helpers.c to avoid some minor duplicated
glue code if another EGL target were to provide this extension. I didn't
bother with that. ANGLE on Windows can't support it, because the
extension spec. explicitly requires POSIX timers. ANGLE on Linux/OSX is
actively harmful for mpv and hopefully won't ever use it. Wayland uses
EGL, but has its own fancy presentation feedback stuff (and besides, I
don't think basic video player functionality works on Wayland at all).
context_drm_egl maybe? But I think DRM has its own stuff.
So the next commit can make EGL use it. EGL has a quite similar
function, that practically works the same. Although it's relatively
trivial, it's still tricky, and probably shouldn't end up as duplicated
code.
There are no functional changes, except initialization, and how failure
of the glXGetSyncValues call is handled. Also, some comments mention the
EGL extension.
Note that there's no intention for this code to handle anything else
than the very specific OML sync extension (and its EGL equivalent). This
is just too weirdly specific to the weird idiosyncrasies of the
extension, and it makes no sense to extend it to handle anything else.
(Such as Wayland or DXGI presentation feedback.)
This change introduces a vulkan interop path for the vaapi hwdec.
The basic principles are mostly the same as for EGL, with the
exported dma_buf being imported by Vukan. The biggest difference
is that we cannot reuse the texture as we do with OpenGL - there's
no way to rebind a VkImage to a different piece of memory, as far
as I can see. So, a new texture is created on each map call.
I did not bother implementing a code path for the old libva API as
I think it's safe to assume any system with a working vulkan driver
will have access to a newer libva.
Note that we are using separate layers for the vaapi surface, just
as is done for EGL. This is because libplacebo doesn't support
multiplane images.
This change does not include format negotiation because no driver
implements the vk_ext_image_drm_format_modifier extension that
would be required to do that. In practice, the two formats we care
about (nv12, p010) work correctly, so we are not blocked. A separate
change had to be made in libplacebo to filter out non-fatal validation
errors related to surface sizes due to the lack of format negotiation.
This is a straightforward parallel implementation of error diffusion
algorithms in compute shader. Basically we use single work group with
maximal possible size to process the whole image. After a shift
mapping we are able to process all pixels column by column.
A large ring buffer are allocated in shared memory to speed things up.
However the size of required shared memory depends linearly on the
height of video window (or screen height in fullscreen mode). In case
there is no enough shared memory, it will fallback to `--dither=fruit`.
The maximal allowed work group size is hardcoded as 1024. Ideally we
could query `GL_MAX_COMPUTE_WORK_GROUP_INVOCATIONS`. But for whatever
reason, it seems most high end card from nvidia and amd support only
the minimal required value, so I guess we can stick to it for now.
The amount of code now present that's specific to Vulkan or OpenGL
has reached the point where we really want to split it out to
avoid a mess of #ifdefs.
At the same time, I'm moving the code to an api neutral location.
This commit rips out the entire mpv vulkan implementation in favor of
exposing lightweight wrappers on top of libplacebo instead, which
provides much of the same except in a more up-to-date and polished form.
This (finally) unifies the code base between mpv and libplacebo, which
is something I've been hoping to do for a long time.
Note: The ra_pl wrappers are abstract enough from the actual libplacebo
device type that we can in theory re-use them for other devices like
d3d11 or even opengl in the future, so I moved them to a separate
directory for the time being. However, the rest of the code is still
vulkan-specific, so I've kept the "vulkan" naming and file paths, rather
than introducing a new `--gpu-api` type. (Which would have been ended up
with significantly more code duplicaiton)
Plus, the code and functionality is similar enough that for most users
this should just be a straight-up drop-in replacement.
Note: This commit excludes some changes; specifically, the updates to
context_win and hwdec_cuda are deferred to separate commits for
authorship reasons.
quite a lot of the title bar functionality and logic was within our
window. since we recently added a custom title bar class to our window
i decided to move all that functionality into that class and in its
own file.
this is also a preparation for the next commits.
Manual changes done:
* Merged the interface-changes under the already master'd changes.
* Moved the hwdec-related option changes to video/decode/vd_lavc.c.
This option has been deprecated upstream for a long time, probably
doesn't even work anymore, and won't work moving forwards as we replace
the vulkan code by libplacebo wrappers.
I haven't removed the option completely yet since in theory we could
still add support for e.g. a native glslang wrapper in the future. But
most likely the future of this code is deletion.
As an aside, fix an issue where the man page didn't mention d3d11.
The demuxer cache is the only cache now. Might need another change to
combat seeking failures in mp4 etc. The only bad thing is the loss of
cache-speed, which was sort of nice to have.
mpv.com fails to build when cross-compiling with a multilib version
of GCC, because the -m32 flags aren't getting passed to the build
process for osdep/win32-console-wrapper.c or the link phase for
mpv.com itself.
This started breaking with newer (2.0.x) waf versions, and it was
noticed that a built-in waf module was providing very similar
functionality.
APPNAME definition was required to have `gnu_dirs`' PACKAGE
variable to be defined in order to have f.ex. documentation
installed to the correct directory.
Currently unused options added by `gnu_dirs` were removed to clean
up the output of the help command.
Effective changes to behavior:
- `gnu_dirs` will attempt to figure out if it needs to use lib64
instead of lib within your installation prefix. If you would
like it to not do that, set `--libdir` during configuration.
The way it tries to figure lib/lib64 out is if there's a
`/usr/lib64` and no `/usr/lib32`.
- `--incdir` is now `--includedir` as per standard `gnu_dirs`
behavior.
this reverts commit a174566 since the actually reason for failing has
been found. the isysroot flag overwrites the framework and library
search paths. though we only need to overwrite the former and there is
no way to just overwrite that one. we manually add the standard library
search paths to the very end of the linking command, so it won't
interfere with the search paths extracted by waf.
