Before this commit, some autoselection of tracks coming from files
loaded with --external-files was still done. This commit removes all of
it, and the only way to select a track is via the explicit stream
selection options like --vid/--sid/--aid.
I think this was always the original intention. The change could in
theory still unintentionally surprise some users, so add a changelog
entry.
This does not affect --audio-file/--sub-file, even if these contain
mismatching track types. E.g. if audio files passed to --audio-file
contain subtitles, these should still be selected. Past feature requests
indicate that users want this.
This enables DXVA2 hardware decoding with ra_d3d11. It should be useful
for Windows 7, where D3D11VA is not available. Images are transfered
from D3D9 to D3D11 using D3D9Ex surface sharing[1].
Following Microsoft's recommendations, it uses a queue of shared
surfaces, similar to Microsoft's ISurfaceQueue. This will hopefully
prevent surface sharing from impacting parallelism and allow multiple
D3D11 frames to be in-flight at once.

Reasons why you'd want this see manpage additions. Disabled by default,
because it would increase latency of live streams by default. (Or well,
at least it would be another problem when trying getting lower latency.)
This tried to be clever by waiting for a longer time each time the
buffer was underrunning, or shorter if it was getting better. I think
this was pretty weird behavior and makes no sense. If the user really
wants the stream to buffer longer, he/she/it can just pause the player
(the network caches will continue to be filled until they're full).
Every time I actually noticed this code triggering in my own use, I
didn't find it helpful. Apart from that it was pretty hard to test.
Some waiting is needed to avoid that the player just plays the available
data as fast as possible (to compensate for late frames and underrunning
audio). Just use a fixed wait time, which can now be controlled by the
new --cache-pause-wait option.
Was only available with --demuxer-lavf-format=help and the demuxer
needed to be used for it to actually print the list.
This can be used in the future to check if 'dash' support was compiled
with FFmpeg so ytdl_hook can use it instead. For now, dashdec is too
rudimentary to be used right away.
Uses the EGL width/height by default when the user fails to set
the android-surface-width/android-surface-height options.
This means the vo-resize command is optional, and does not need to
be implemented on android devices which do not support rotation.

Technically, the user could just use --vd-lavc-o with the same result.
But I find it better to make this an explicit option, so we can document
the ups and downs, and also avoid setting it for non-h264.
This commit introduces a new --oset-metadata key-value-list option,
allowing the user to specify output metadata when encoding
(eg. --oset-metadata=title="Hello",comment="World").
A second option --oremove-metadata is added to exclude existing metadata
from the output file (assuming --ocopy-metadata is enabled).
Not all output formats support all tags, but luckily libavcodec
simply discards unsupported keys.
--copy-metadata describes the result of the option better, (copying metadata
from the source file to the output file). Marks the old --no-ometadata
OPT_REMOVED with a suggestion for the new --no-ocopy-metadata.
Async compute in particular seems to cause problems on some drivers, and
even when supprted the benefits are not that massive from the tests I
have seen, so it's probably safe to keep off by default.
Async transfer on the other hand seems to work better and offers a more
substantial improvement, so it's kept on.
Instead of using a single primary queue, we generate multiple
vk_cmdpools and pick the right one dynamically based on the intent.
This has a number of immediate benefits:
1. We can use async texture uploads
2. We can use the DMA engine for buffer updates
3. We can benefit from async compute on AMD GPUs
Unfortunately, the major downside is that due to the lack of QF
ownership tracking, we need to use CONCURRENT sharing for all resources
(buffers *and* images!). In theory, we could try figuring out a way to
get rid of the concurrent sharing for buffers (which is only needed for
compute shader UBOs), but even so, the concurrent sharing mode doesn't
really seem to have a significant impact over here (nvidia). It's
possible that other platforms may disagree.
Our deadlock-avoidance strategy is stupidly simple: Just flush the
command every time we need to switch queues, and make sure all
submission and callbacks happen in FIFO order. This required lifting the
cmds_pending and cmds_queued out from vk_cmdpool to mpvk_ctx, and some
functions died/got moved as a result, but that's a relatively minor
change.
On my hardware this is a fairly significant performance boost, mainly
due to async transfers. (Nvidia doesn't expose separate compute queues
anyway). On AMD, this should be a performance boost as well due to async
compute.
This uses the new vk_signal mechanism to order all access to textures.
This has several advantageS:
1. It allows real synchronization of image access across multiple frames
when using multiple queues for parallelism.
2. It allows using events instead of pipeline barriers, which is a
finer-grained synchronization primitive that allows for more
efficient layout transitions over longer durations.
This commit also restructures some of the implicit transition code for
renderpasses to be more flexible and correct. (Note: this technically
drops the ability to transition the image out of undefined layout when
not blending, but that was a bug anyway and needs to be done properly)
vo_gpu: vulkan: remove no-longer-true optimization
The change to the output_tex format makes this no longer true, and it
actually seems to hurt performance now as well. So just don't do it
anymore. I also realized it hurts performance when drawing an OSD, so
it's probably not a good idea anyway.
I don't want to add another field to display stream and demuxer cache
separately, so just add them up. This strangely makes sense, since the
forward buffered stream cache amount consists of data not read by the
demuxer yet. (If the demuxer cache has buffered the full stream, the
forward buffered stream cache amount is 0.)
Reduce it from 75MB in both directions (forward/backwards) to 10MB each.
The stream cache is kind of becoming useless in favor of the demuxer
cache. Using both doesn't make much sense, because they will contain
duplicated data for no reason.
Still leave it at 10MB, which may help with mp4 a bit. libavformat's mp4
demuxer tends to seek too much, so we try to avoid triggering network
level seeks by having some caching in the stream layer.
Some old crap which nobody needs and which probably nobody uses.
This relies on a GCC extension: using "## __VA_ARGS__" to remove the
comma from the argument list if the va args are empty. It's supported
by clang, and there's some chance newer standards will introduce a
proper way to do this. (Even if it breaks somewhere, it will be a
problem only for 1 release, since I want to drop the deprecated
properties immediately.)
This was off for mpv CLI, but on for libmpv. The motivation behind this
was that it would be confusing for applications if libmpv continued
playback in a severely "degraded" way (without either audio or video),
and that it would be better to fail early.
In reality the behavior was just a confusing difference to mpv CLI, and
has confused actual users as well. Get rid of it.
Not bothering with a version bump, since this is so minor, and it's easy
to ensure compatibility in affected applications by just setting the
option explicitly.
(Also adding the missing next-release-marker in client-api-changes.rst.)
Annoying exception that makes no sense to keep. Normally, users or
client applications will either use --hwdec=auto, or not set the option
at all, which both leads to the expected result.
This commit introduces mp.utils.file_info() for querying information
on file paths, implemented for both Lua and Javascript.
The function takes a file path as an argument and returns a Lua table /
JS object upon success. The table/object will contain the values:
mode, size, atime, mtime, ctime and the convenience booleans is_file, is_dir.
On error, the Lua side will return `nil, error` and the Javascript side
will return `undefined` (and mark the last error).
This feature utilizes the already existing cross-platform `mp_stat()`
function.
This was a bit confused, and I bet nobody understood whether to use
--sub-file or --sub-files, and what the difference is. Explicitly
mention that both variants exist, and how they are related.
Previously when using a libmpv instance to play multiple videos,
once --start was set there was no clear way to unset it. You could
use --start=0, but 0 does not always mean the beginning of the file
(especially when using --rebase-start-time=no). Looking up the start
timestamp and passing that in also does not always work, particularly
when the first timestamp is negative (since negative values to --start
have a special meaning).
This commit adds a new "none" value which maps to the internal
REL_TIME_NONE, matching the default value of the play_start option.
Most options that change the playback endpoint coexist and playback
stops when it reaches any of them. (e.g. --ab-loop-b, --end, or
--chapter). This patch extends that behavior to --length so it isn't
automatically trumped by --end if both are present. These two will
interact now as the other options do.
This change is also documented in DOCS/man/options.rst.
The libavcodec mediacodec support does not conform to the new hwaccel
APIs yet. It has been agreed uppon that this glue code can be deleted
for now, and support for it will be restored at a later point.
Readding would require that it supports the AVCodecContext.hw_device_ctx
API. The hw_device_ctx would then contain the surface ID.
vo_mediacodec_embed would actually perform the task of creating
vo.hwdec_devs and adding a mp_hwdec_ctx, whose av_device_ref is a
AVHWDeviceContext containing the android surface.
Make the VO<->decoder interface capable of supporting multiple hwdec
APIs at once. The main gain is that this simplifies autoprobing a lot.
Before this change, it could happen that the VO loaded the "wrong" hwdec
API, and the decoder was stuck with the choice (breaking hw decoding).
With the change applied, the VO simply loads all available APIs, so
autoprobing trickery is left entirely to the decoder.
In the past, we were quite careful about not accidentally loading the
wrong interop drivers. This was in part to make sure autoprobing works,
but also because libva had this obnoxious bug of dumping garbage to
stderr when using the API. libva was fixed, so this is not a problem
anymore.
The --opengl-hwdec-interop option is changed in various ways (again...),
and renamed to --gpu-hwdec-interop. It does not have much use anymore,
other than debugging. It's notable that the order in the hwdec interop
array ra_hwdec_drivers[] still matters if multiple drivers support the
same image formats, so the option can explicitly force one, if that
should ever be necessary, or more likely, for debugging. One example are
the ra_hwdec_d3d11egl and ra_hwdec_d3d11eglrgb drivers, which both
support d3d11 input.
vo_gpu now always loads the interop lazily by default, but when it does,
it loads them all. vo_opengl_cb now always loads them when the GL
context handle is initialized. I don't expect that this causes any
problems.
It's now possible to do things like changing between vdpau and nvdec
decoding at runtime.
This is also preparation for cleaning up vd_lavc.c hwdec autoprobing.
It's another reason why hwdec_devices_request_all() does not take a
hwdec type anymore.
These couldn't be relicensed, and won't survive the LGPL transition. The
other existing filters are mostly LGPL (except libaf glue code).
This remove the deprecated pan option. I guess it could be restored by
inserting a libavfilter filter (if there's one), but for now let it be
gone.
This temporarily breaks volume control (and things related to it, like
replaygain).
The internal stereo3d filter was removed due to being GPL only, and due
to being a mess that somehow used libavfilter's filter. Without this
filter, it's hard to remove our internal stereo3d image attribute, so
even using libavfilter's stereo3d filter would not work too well (unless
someone fixes it and makes it able to use AVFrame metadata, which we
then could mirror in mp_image).
This was never well thought-through anyway, so just drop it. I think
some "downsampling" support would still make sense, maybe that can be
readded later.
Almost all of them had their guts removed and replaced by libavfilter
long ago, but remove them anyway. They're pointless and have been
scheduled for deprecation.
Still leave vf_format (because we need it in some form) and vf_sub (not
sure).
This will break some builtin functionality: lavfi yadif defaults are
different, auto rotation and stereo3d downconversion are broken. These
might be fixed later.
