Always pass around mp_log contexts in the option parser code. This of
course affects all users of this API as well.
In stream.c, pass a mp_null_log, because we can't do it properly yet.
This will be fixed later.
This ended up a little bit messy. In order to get a mp_log everywhere,
mostly make use of the fact that va_surface already references global
state anyway.
This requires the caller to provide a mp_log in order to see error
messages. Unfortunately we don't do this in most places, but I guess we
have to live with it.
Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
The tmsg stuff was for the internal gettext() based translation system,
which nobody ever attempted to use and thus was removed. mp_gtext() and
set_osd_tmsg() were also for this.
mp_dbg was once enabled in debug mode only, but since we have log level
for enabling debug messages, it seems utterly useless.
This gets rid of the vf_vo pseudo-filter. It ends the idea of MPlayer's
architecture that the VO is just a (terminating) video filter. It didn't
really work for us with respect to video timing (the "end" of the video
chain isn't really made for video timing, and making it do so would be
awkward), and now we're removing it entirely. We will be able to fix
some things, such as properly draining video on reconfiguration.
I don't think this has any reason to exist. It's likely that this used
to be required by the old direct rendering infrastructure. (See
git blame output.)
Remove the inconsistent, duplicated, and insufficient scale filter
insertion code, and do it in one place instead. This also compensates
for the earlier removal of vf_match_csp() (which was in fact duplicated
code).
The algorithm to determine where to insert a filter etc. is probably the
same, though it also comes with some changes that should make debugging
easier when trying to figure out why a chain is failing to configure.
Add an "in" pseudo filter, which makes insertion of conversion filters
easier. Also change the vf->reconfig signature. At a later point, I'll
probably change format negotiation such that the generic filter code
will choose the output format, so having separate in and out params will
be useful.
Reason: I never liked it being recursive. Generally, this seems to
cause more problems than trouble, and is less flexible for access
outside of the chain.
I don't think we need these flags anymore. Simplify the code and get rid
of the vf_format struct.
There still is the vf_format.configured field, but this can be replaced
by checking for a valid image format.
This adds vf_chain, which unlike vf_instance refers to the filter chain
as a whole. This makes the filter API less awkward, and will allow
handling format negotiation better.
This function improves automatic filter insertion, but this really
should be done by the generic filter code. Remove vf_match_csp() and all
code using it as preparation for that.
This commit temporarily makes handling of filter insertion worse for
now, but it will be fixed with the following commits.
They didn't do anything.
vf_screenshot.c actually did release the previous image, but that's not
really required. At worst you could take a screenshot and get an old
frame when there's no new frame yet.
The --flip option flipped the image upside-down, by trying to use VO
support, or if not available, by inserting a video filter. I'm not sure
why it existed. Maybe it was important in ancient times when VfW based
decoders output an image this way (but even then, flipping an image is a
free operation by negating the stride).
One nice thing about this is that it provided a possible path for
implementing video orientation, which is a feature we should probably
support eventually. The important part is that it would be for free for
VOs that support it, and would work even with hardware decoding.
But for now get rid of it. It's useless, trivial, stands in the way, and
supporting video orientation would require solving other problems first.
The vf_eq context contains a very large lookup table, and the method of
setting default values caused the vf_eq context to be included in the
compiled code.
All filters now either use the generic option parser, or don't have
options. This finally finishes a transition started in 2003 (see git
commit 33b62af947).
Why are MPlayer devs so monumentally lazy? Sorry, but this takes the
cake. You had 10 years.
Mostly backwards compatible, we don't change much because we just want
to get rid of the legacy option string handling.
You can't pass an aspect as first argument anymore.
Apparently you can get this with: stereo3d=ab[2]{l,r}:sbs[2]{l,r}
So it seems the filter is redundant and can be removed.
Also see FFmpeg commit 2f11aa141a01.
Unfortunately, this forces filtering both luma and chroma, because
otherwise we'd have to deal with libavfilter's vf_noise weird handling
of YUV vs. RGB formats. Would we e.g. filter luma only, it would filter
red in RGB mode only, because it goes by component and there's no way to
distinguish YUV and RGB by just using the filter's options.
