Remove coded_width and coded_height. This was originally added in commit
fd7dde40, when BITMAPINFOHEADER was killed. The separate fields became
redundant in commit e68f4be1. Remove them (nothing passed to the
decoders actually changes with _this_ commit).
A recent behavior change in libavcodec's h264 decoder keeps at least 1
surface even after avcodec_flush_buffers() has been called. We used to
flush the decoder in order to make sure all surfaces are free'd, so that
the hw decoder can be safely uninitialized. This doesn't work anymore.
Fix it by closing the AVCodecContext before the hw decoder is
uninitialized. This is actually simpler and more robust. It seems to be
well-supported too.
Fixes invalid read accesses with vaapi-copy and dxva2-copy. These
destroyed the hwdec API fully on uninit, and could not deal with
surfaces surviving the decoder.
Probably fixes#1587.
The intention is that we can test vo_opengl with high bit depth PNGs
better. This throws libswscale completely out of the loop, which before
was needed in order to convert from big endian to little endian.
Also apply a minimal cleanup to fmt-conversion.c (unrelated).
This is somewhat imperfect, because detection of hw decoding APIs is
mostly done on demand, and often avoided if not necessary. (For example,
we know very well that there are no hw decoders for certain codecs.)
This also requires every hwdec backend to identify itself (see hwdec.h
changes).
Before this commit, each hw backend had their own specific struct types
for context, and some, like VDA, had none at all. Add a context struct
(mp_hwdec_ctx) that provides a somewhat generic way to pass the hwdec
context around. Some things get slightly better, some slightly more
verbose.
mp_hwdec_info is still around; it's still needed, but is reduced to its
role of handling delayed loading of the hwdec backend.
At least on my machine, reading back the frame with system memcpy is
slower than just using software rendering. Use the optimized gpu_memcpy
from LAV to speed things up.
This was once central, but now it's almost unused. Only vf_divtc still
uses it for extremely weird and incomprehensible reasons. The use in
stream.c is trivial. Replace these, and remove mpbswap.h.
MPlayer traditionally did this because it made sense: the most important
formats (avi, asf/wmv) used Microsoft formats, and many important
decoders (win32 binary codecs) also did. But the world has changed, and
I've always wanted to get rid of this thing from the codebase.
demux_mkv.c internally still uses it, because, guess what, Matroska has
a VfW muxing mode, which uses these data structures natively.
The oldest supported FFmpeg release doesn't provide
av_vdpau_alloc_context(). With these versions, the application has no
other choice than to hard code the size of AVVDPAUContext. (On the other
hand, there's av_alloc_vdpaucontext(), which does the same thing, but is
FFmpeg specific - not sure if it was available early enough, so I'm not
touching it.)
Newer FFmpeg and Libav releases require you to call this function, for
ABI compatibility reasons. It's the typcal lakc of foresight that make
FFmpeg APIs terrible. mpv successfully pretended that this crap didn't
exist (ABI compat. is near impossible to reach anyway) - but it appears
newer developments in Libav change the function from initializing the
struct with all-zeros to something else, and mpv vdpau decoding would
stop working as soon as this new work is relewased.
So, add a configure test (sigh).

This inserts an automatic conversion filter if a Matroska file is marked
as 3D (StereoMode element). The basic idea is similar to video rotation
and colorspace handling: the 3D mode is added as a property to the video
params. Depending on this property, a video filter can be inserted.
As of this commit, extending mp_image_params is actually completely
unnecessary - but the idea is that it will make it easier to integrate
with VOs supporting stereo 3D mogrification. Although vo_opengl does
support some stereo rendering, it didn't support the mode my sample file
used, so I'll leave that part for later.
Not that most mappings from Matroska mode to vf_stereo3d mode are
probably wrong, and some are missing.
Assuming that Matroska modes, and vf_stereo3d in modes, and out modes
are all the same might be an oversimplification - we'll see.
See issue #1045.
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
So talking to a certain Intel dev, it sounded like modern VA-API drivers
are reasonable thread-safe. But apparently that is not the case. Not at
all. So add approximate locking around all vaapi API calls.
The problem appeared once we moved decoding and display to different
threads. That means the "vaapi-copy" mode was unaffected, but decoding
with vo_vaapi or vo_opengl lead to random crashes.
Untested on real Intel hardware. With the vdpau emulation, it seems to
work fine - but actually it worked fine even before this commit, because
vdpau was written and designed not by morons, but competent people
(vdpau is guaranteed to be fully thread-safe).
There is some probability that this commit doesn't fix things entirely.
One problem is that locking might not be complete. For one, libavcodec
_also_ accesses vaapi, so we have to rely on our own guesses how and
when lavc uses vaapi (since we disable multithreading when doing hw
decoding, our guess should be relatively good, but it's still a lavc
implementation detail). One other reason that this commit might not
help is Intel's amazing potential to fuckup anything that is good and
holy.
Playing with high framedrop could make it run out of surfaces. In
theory, we wouldn't need an additional surface, if we could just clear
the vo_vaapi internal surface - but doing so would probably be a pain,
so I don't care.
The VO is run inside its own thread. It also does most of video timing.
The playloop hands the image data and a realtime timestamp to the VO,
and the VO does the rest.
In particular, this allows the playloop to do other things, instead of
blocking for video redraw. But if anything accesses the VO during video
timing, it will block.
This also fixes vo_sdl.c event handling; but that is only a side-effect,
since reimplementing the broken way would require more effort.
Also drop --softsleep. In theory, this option helps if the kernel's
sleeping mechanism is too inaccurate for video timing. In practice, I
haven't ever encountered a situation where it helps, and it just burns
CPU cycles. On the other hand it's probably actively harmful, because
it prevents the libavcodec decoder threads from doing real work.
Side note:
Originally, I intended that multiple frames can be queued to the VO. But
this is not done, due to problems with OSD and other certain features.
OSD in particular is simply designed in a way that it can be neither
timed nor copied, so you do have to render it into the video frame
before you can draw the next frame. (Subtitles have no such restriction.
sd_lavc was even updated to fix this.) It seems the right solution to
queuing multiple VO frames is rendering on VO-backed framebuffers, like
vo_vdpau.c does. This requires VO driver support, and is out of scope
of this commit.
As consequence, the VO has a queue size of 1. The existing video queue
is just needed to compute frame duration, and will be moved out in the
next commit.
Found with valgrind. This is somewhat terrifying, because the VA-API API
function is supposed to fill these values, and we access them only if
the API functions return success. So this shouldn't have happened.
Completely useless, and could accidentally be enabled by cycling
framedrop modes. Just get rid of it.
But still allow triggering the old code with --vd-lavc-framedrop, in
case someone asks for it. If nobody does, this new option will be
removed eventually.
Use OPT_KEYVALUELIST() for all places where AVOptions are directly set
from mpv command line options. This allows escaping values, better
diagnostics (also no more "pal"), and somehow reduces code size.
Remove the old crappy option parser (av_opts.c).
Since the new hwaccel API is now merged in ffmpeg's stable release, we can
finally remove support for the old API.
I pretty much kept lu_zero's new code unchanged and just added some error
printing (that we had with the old glue code) to make the life of our users
less miserable.
DVD and Bluray (and to some extent cdda) require awful hacks all over
the codebase to make them work. The main reason is that they act like
container, but are entirely implemented on the stream layer. The raw
mpeg data resulting from these streams must be "extended" with the
container-like metadata transported via STREAM_CTRLs. The result were
hacks all over demux.c and some higher-level parts.
Add a "disc" pseudo-demuxer, and move all these hacks and special-cases
to it.
This add support for reading primary information from lavc, categorized
into BT.601-525, BT.601-625, BT.709 and BT.2020; and passes it on to the
vo. In vo_opengl, we always generate the 3dlut against the wider BT.2020
and transform our source into this colorspace in the shader.
Until now, failure to allocate image data resulted in a crash (i.e.
abort() was called). This was intentional, because it's pretty silly to
degrade playback, and in almost all situations, the OOM will probably
kill you anyway. (And then there's the standard Linux overcommit
behavior, which also will kill you at some point.)
But I changed my opinion, so here we go. This change does not affect
_all_ memory allocations, just image data. Now in most failure cases,
the output will just be skipped. For video filters, this coincidentally
means that failure is treated as EOF (because the playback core assumes
EOF if nothing comes out of the video filter chain). In other
situations, output might be in some way degraded, like skipping frames,
not scaling OSD, and such.

mp_image_to_av_frame_and_unref

vf_alloc_out_image

This means use of the min/max fields can be dropped for the flag option
type, which makes some things slightly easier. I'm also not sure if the
client API handled the case of flag not being 0 or 1 correctly, and this
change gets rid of this concern.
While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
The i_bps members of the sh_audio and dev_video structs are mostly used
for displaying the average audio and video bitrates. Keeping them in
bits-per-second avoids truncating them to bytes-per-second and changing
them back lateron.
This is incomplete; the video chain will still hold some vaapi objects
after destroying the decoder and thus the vaapi context. This is very
bad. Fixing it would require something like refcounting the vaapi
context, but I don't really want to.
mpv supports two hardware decoding APIs on Linux: vdpau and vaapi. Each
of these has emulation wrappers. The wrappers are usually slower and
have fewer features than their native opposites. In particular the libva
vdpau driver is practically unmaintained.
Check the vendor string and print a warning if emulation is detected.
Checking vendor strings is a very stupid thing to do, but I find the
thought of people using an emulated API for no reason worse.
Also, make --hwdec=auto never use an API that is detected as emulated.
This doesn't work quite right yet, because once one API is loaded,
vo_opengl doesn't unload it, so no hardware decoding will be used if the
first probed API (usually vdpau) is rejected. But good enough.
Sometimes, Matroska files store monotonic PTS for h264 tracks with
b-frames, which means the decoder actually returns non-monotonic PTS.
Handle this with an evil trick: if DTS is missing, set it to the PTS.
Then the existing logic, which deals with falling back to DTS if PTS is
broken. Actually, this trick is not so evil at all, because usually, PTS
has no errors, and DTS is either always set, or always unset. So this
_should_ provoke no regressions (famous last words).
libavformat actually does something similar: it derives DTS from PTS in
ways unknown to me. The result is very broken, but it causes the DTS
fallback to become active, and thus happens to work.
Also, prevent the heuristic from being active if PTS is merely monotonic
instead of strictly-monotonic. Non-unique PTS is broken, but we can't
fallback to DTS anyway in these cases.
The specific mkv file that is fixed with this commit had the following
fields set:
Muxing application: libebml v1.3.0 + libmatroska v1.4.1
Writing application: mkvmerge v6.7.0 ('Back to the Ground') [...]
But I know that this should also fix playback of mencoder produced mkv
files.
