Originally when presentation time was implemented, the frame callback
and presentation feedback functions were called in each rendering api's
separate backend (egl and vulkan). This meant that their respective
structs were basically copy and pasted across both files. Plus later
vo_wlshm started using frame callbacks too. Things got refactored a few
times and it turns out there's actually no need to have these things
separate anymore. The frame callback can just be initialized in
vo_wayland_init and then everything else will follow from there. Just
move all of this code to wayland_common and get rid of the duplication.
Sidenote: This means that vo_wlshm can actually receive presentation
feedback now. It's really simple to do so might as well. See the next
commit.
30dcfbc is a workaround for incorrect border sizes that could occur on
sway/wlroots in certain edge cases. This seemed harmless enough, but it
turns out that on mutter the extra wl_surface_commit somehow causes the
window always go to the top left of the screen after you leave
fullscreen. No idea why this occurs, but the original commit is a
workaround a sway bug and causing regressions for other users isn't
right despite the author being biased towards sway/wlroots.
This reverts commit 30dcfbc9cb.
Made possible with 00b9c81. 34b8adc let the wayland surface set an
opaque region depending on if alpha was set by the user or not. However,
there was no attempted detection for runtime changes and it is possible
(at least in wayland vulkan) to toggle the alpha on and off. So this
meant, we could be incorrectly signalling an opaque region if the user
happened to change the alpha. Additionally, add a helper function for
this and use it everywhere we want to set the opaque region.
efb0c5c changed the rendering logic of mpv on wayland and made it skip
rendering when it did not receive frame callback in time. The idea was
to skip rendering when the surface was hidden and be less wasteful. This
unfortunately had issues in certain instances where a frame callback
could be missed (but the window was still in view) due to imprecise
rendering (like the default audio video-sync mode). This would lead to
the video appearing to stutter since mpv would skip rendering in those
cases.
To account for this case, simply re-add an old heuristic for detecting
if a window is hidden or not since the goal is to simply not render when
a window is hidden. If the wait on the frame callback times out enough
times in a row, then we consider the window hidden and thus begin to
skip rendering then. The actual threshold to consider a surface as
hidden is completely arbitrary (greater than your monitor's refresh
rate), but it's safe enough since realistically you're not going to miss
60+ frame callbacks in a row unless the surface actually is hidden.
Fixes#8169.
Apparently a part of the wayland spec. A compositor may use a surface
that has set part of itself as opaque for various optimizations. For
mpv, we simply set the entire surface as opaque as long as the user has
not set alpha=yes (note: alpha is technically broken in the wayland EGL
backend at the time of this commit but oh well). wlshm is always opaque.
Fixes#8125.
Back in the olden days, mpv's wayland backend was driven by the frame
callback. This had several issues and was removed in favor of the
current approach which allowed some advanced features (like
display-resample and presentation time) to actually work properly.
However as a consequence, it meant that mpv always rendered, even if the
surface was hidden. Wayland people consider this "wasteful" (and well
they aren't wrong). This commit aims to avoid wasteful rendering by
doing some additional checks in the swapchain. There's three main parts
to this.
1. Wayland EGL now uses an external swapchain (like the drm context).
Before we start a new frame, we check to see if we are waiting on a
callback from the compositor. If there is no wait, then go ahead and
proceed to render the frame, swap buffers, and then initiate
vo_wayland_wait_frame to poll (with a timeout) for the next potential
callback. If we are still waiting on callback from the compositor when
starting a new frame, then we simple skip rendering it entirely until
the surface comes back into view.
2. Wayland on vulkan has essentially the same approach although the
details are a little different. The ra_vk_ctx does not have support for
an external swapchain and although such a mechanism could theoretically
be added, it doesn't make much sense with libplacebo. Instead,
start_frame was added as a param and used to check for callback.
3. For wlshm, it's simply a matter of adding frame callback to it,
leveraging vo_wayland_wait_frame, and using the frame callback value to
whether or not to draw the image.
It was possible for sway to get incorrectly sized borders if you resized
the mpv window in a creative manner (e.g. open a video in a non-floating
mode, set window scale to 2, then float it and witness wrong border
sizes). This is possibly a sway bug (Plasma doesn't have these border
issues at least), but there's a reasonable workaround for this.
The reason for the incorrect border size is because it is possible for
mpv to ignore the width/height from the toplevel listener and set its
own size. This new size can differ from what sway/wlroots believes the
size is which is what causes the sever side decorations to be drawn on
incorrect dimensions.
A simple trick is to just explicitly commit the surface after a resize
is performed. This is only done if mpv is not fullscreened or maximized
since we always obey the compositor widths/heights in those cases.
Sending the commit signals the compositor of the new change in the
surface and thus sway/wlroots updates its internal coordinates
appropriately and borders are no longer broken.
When using presentation time, we have to be sure to update the ust when
no presentation events are received to make sure playback is still
smooth and in sync. Part of the recent presentation time refactor was to
use the presentation discarded event to signal that the window is
hidden. Evidently, this doesn't work the same everywhere for whatever
reason (drivers?? hardware??) and at least one user experienced issues
with playback getting out of sync since (presumably) the discarded event
didn't occur when hiding the window. Instead, let's just go back to the
old way of checking if the last_ust is equal to the ust value of the
last member in the wayland sync queue. Fixes#8010.
The motivation for this change was a segfault caused by e107342 which
has complicated reasons for occuring (i.e. I'm not 100% sure but I think
it is a really weird race). The major part of this commit is moving the
initialization of presentation listener to the frame_callback function.
Calling it in swap_buffers worked fine but in practice it meant a lot of
meaningless function calls if a window was hidden (the presentation
would just be immediately discarded). By calling it in frame_callback,
we ensure the listener is only created when it is possible to receive a
presentation event.
Of course calling the presentation listener in feedback_presented or
feedback_discarded was considered, but ultimately these events are too
slow. Receiving the ust/msc/sbc triplet here and then passing it to mpv
results in higher vsync judder since there is (likely) not enough time
before the next pageflip. By design, the frame callback is meant to give
us as much time as possible before the next repaint so calling it here
is probably optimal.
Additionally, we can make better use of the feedback_discarded event.
The wp_presentation_feedback should not be destroyed here. It will be
taken care of either when we get feedback again or when the player
quits. Instead what we can do is set a bool that tells wayland_sync_swap
to update itself based on mp_time delta. In practice, the result is not
any different than before, but it should be more understandable what is
going on now.
Of course, the segfault mentioned at the beginning is fixed with this as
well.
One not-so-nice hack in the wayland code is the assumption of when a
window is hidden (out of view from the compositor) and an arbitrary
delay for enabling/disabling the usage of presentation time. Since you
do not receive any presentation feedback when a window is hidden on
wayland (a feature or misfeature depending on who you ask), the ust is
updated based on the refresh_nsec statistic gathered from the previous
feedback event.
The flaw with this is that refresh_nsec basically just reports back the
display's refresh rate (1 / refresh_rate * 10^9). It doesn't tell you
how long the vsync interval really was. So as a video is left playing
out of view, the wl->last_queue_display_time becomes increasingly
inaccurate. This led to a vsync spike when bringing the mpv window back
into sight after it was hidden for a period of time. The hack for
working around this is to just wait a while before enabling presentation
time again. The discrepancy between the "bogus"
wl->last_queue_display_time and the actual value you get from the
feedback only happens initially after a switch. If you just discard
those values, you avoid the dramatic vsync spike.
It turns out that there's a smarter way to do this. Just use mp_time_us
deltas. The whole reason for these hacks is because
wl->last_queue_display_time wasn't close enough to how long it would
take for a frame to actually display if it wasn't hidden. Instead, mpv's
internal timer can be used, and the difference between wayland_sync_swap
calls is a close enough proxy for the vsync interval (certainly better
than using the monitor's refresh rate). This avoids the entire conundrum
of massive vsync spikes when bringing the player back into view, and it
means we can get rid of extra crap like wl->hidden.
This originally existed as a hack for weston. In certain scenarios, a
frame taking too long to render would cause vo_wayland_wait_frame to
timeout which would result in a ton of dropped frames. The naive
solution was to just to add a slight delay to the time value. If a
frame took too long, it would likely to fall under the timeout value and
all was well. This was exposed to the user since the default delay
(1000) was completely arbitrary.
However with presentation time, this doesn't appear to be neccesary.
Fresh frames that take longer than the display's refresh rate (16.666 ms
in most cases) behave well in Weston. In the other two main compositors
without presentation time (GNOME and Plasma), they also do not
experience any ill effects. It's better not to overcomplicate things, so
this "feature" can be removed now.
This tries to deal with the crazy EGL situation. The summary is:
- using eglGetDisplay() with multiple windowing platforms doesn't really
work, but Mesa had an awful hack for it
- this hack can be disabled at build time, and some distros sometimes
accidentally or intentionally do so
- Mesa will probably eventually disable it by default
- we switched to eglGetPlatformDisplay(), but this requires EGL 1.5
- the very regrettable graphics company (also known as Nvidia) ships
drivers (for old hardware I think) that are EGL 1.4 only
- that means even though we "require" EGL 1.5 and link against it, the
runtime EGL may be 1.4
- trying to run mpv there crashes in the dynamic linker
- so we have to go through some more awful compatibility hacks
This commit tries to do it "properly", but using EGL 1.4 as base. The
plaform selection mechanism is a messy extension there, which got
elevated to core API in 1.5 (but OF COURSE in incompatible ways).
I'm not sure whether the EGL 1.5 code path (by parsing the EGL_VERSION)
is really needed, but if you ask me, it feels slightly saner not to rely
on an EGL 1.4 kludge forever. But maybe this is just an instance of
self-harm, since they will most likely never drop or not provide this
API.
Also, unlike before, we actually check the extension string for the
individual platform extensions, because who knows, some EGL
implementations might curse us if we pass unknown platform parameters.
(But actually, the more I think about this, the more bullshit it is.)
X11 and Wayland were the only ones trying to call eglGetPlatformDisplay,
so they're the only ones which are adjusted in this commit.
Unfortunately, correct function of this commit is unconfirmed. It's
possible that it crashes with the old drivers mentioned above.
Why didn't they solve it like this:
struct native_display {
int platform_type;
void *native_display;
};
Could have kept eglGetDisplay() without all the obnoxious extension BS.
There's 2 stupid things here that need to be fixed. First of all,
vulkan wasn't actually using presentation time because somehow the
get_vsync function in context.c disappeared. Secondly, if the mpv window
was hidden it was updating the ust time based on the refresh_usec but
really it should simply just not feed any information to the vsync info
structure. So this adds some logic to assume whether or not a window is
hidden.
The old way of using wayland in mpv relied on an external renderloop for
semi-accurate timings. This had multiple issues though. Display sync
would break whenever the window was hidden (since the frame callback
stopped being executed) which was really annoying. Also the entire
external renderloop logic was kind of fragile and didn't play well with
mpv's internal structure (i.e. using presentation time in that old
paradigm breaks stats.lua).
Basically the problem is that swap buffers blocks on wayland which is
crap whenever you hide the mpv window since it looks up the entire
player. So you have to make swap buffers not block, but this has a
different problem. Timings will be terrible if you use the unblocked
swap buffers call.
Based on some discussion in #wayland, the trick here is relatively
simple and works well enough for our purposes. Instead we basically
build a way to block with a timeout in the wayland buffer swap
functions.
A bool is set in the frame callback function that indicates whether or
not mpv is waiting for a frame to be displayed. In the actual buffer
swap function, we enter into a while loop waiting for this flag to be
set. At the same time, the wl_display is polled to block the thread and
wakeup if it receives any events from the compositor. This loop only
breaks if enough time has passed or if the frame callback bool is
received.
In the near future, it is better to set whether or not frame a frame has
been displayed in the presentation feedback. However as a first pass,
doing it in the frame callback is more than good enough.
The "downside" is that we render frames that aren't actually shown on
screen when the player is hidden (it seems like wayland people don't
like that). But who cares. Accurate timings are way more important. It's
probably not too hard to add that behavior back in the player though.
This is the proper fix to the memory leak @wm4 pointed out. It turns out
that when you autoprobe opengl and vo_wayland_init returns false,
vo_wayland_uninit is never actually executed. So you have a leftover
pointer. The vulkan context does this correctly which was why my old,
dumb "fix" broke it.
If the compositor sends a configure event before the surface is initially
mapped, resize gets called before the egl_window gets created, resulting
in a crash in wl_egl_window_resize.
This was fixed back in 618361c697, but was reintroduced when the wayland
code was rewritten in 68f9ee7e0b.
Hardware decoding things often need access to additional handles from
the windowing system, such as the X11 or Wayland display when using
vaapi. The opengl-cb had nothing dedicated for this, and used the weird
GL_MP_MPGetNativeDisplay GL extension (which was mpv specific and not
officially registered with OpenGL).
This was awkward, and a pain due to having to emulate GL context
behavior (like needing a TLS variable to store context for the pseudo GL
extension function). In addition (and not inherently due to this), we
could pass only one resource from mpv builtin context backends to
hwdecs. It was also all GL specific.
Replace this with a newer mechanism. It works for all RA backends, not
just GL. the API user can explicitly pass the objects at init time via
mpv_render_context_create(). Multiple resources are naturally possible.
The API uses MPV_RENDER_PARAM_* defines, but internally we use strings.
This is done for 2 reasons: 1. trying to leave libmpv and internal
mechanisms decoupled, 2. not having to add public API for some of the
internal resource types (especially D3D/GL interop stuff).
To remain sane, drop support for obscure half-working opengl-cb things,
like the DRM interop (was missing necessary things), the RPI window
thing (nobody used it), and obscure D3D interop things (not needed with
ANGLE, others were undocumented). In order not to break ABI and the C
API, we don't remove the associated structs from opengl_cb.h.
The parts which are still needed (in particular DRM interop) needs to be
ported to the render API.
This commit:
- Implements output tracking (e.g. monitor plug/unplug)
- Creates the surface during registry (no other dependencies)
- Queues the callback immediately after surface creation
- Cleaner and better event handling (functions return directly)
- Better reconfigure handling (resizes reduced to 1 during init)
- Don't unnecessarily resize (if dimensions match)
Apart from that fixes 2 potential memory leaks (mime type and window
title), 2 string ownership issues (output name and make need to be
dup'd), fixes some style issues (switches were indented) and finally
adds messages when disabling/enabling idle inhibition.
The callback setter function was removed in preparation for the commit
which will use the frame event cb because it was unnecessary.
The wayland code was written more than 4 years ago when wayland wasn't
even at version 1.0. This commit rewrites everything in a more modern way,
switches to using the new xdg v6 shell interface which solves a lot of bugs
and makes mpv tiling-friedly, adds support for drag and drop, adds support
for touchscreens, adds support for KDE's server decorations protocol,
and finally adds support for the new idle-inhibitor protocol.
It does not yet use the frame callback as a main rendering loop driver,
this will happen with a later commit.
This is done in several steps:
1. refactor MPGLContext -> struct ra_ctx
2. move GL-specific stuff in vo_opengl into opengl/context.c
3. generalize context creation to support other APIs, and add --gpu-api
4. rename all of the --opengl- options that are no longer opengl-specific
5. move all of the stuff from opengl/* that isn't GL-specific into gpu/
(note: opengl/gl_utils.h became opengl/utils.h)
6. rename vo_opengl to vo_gpu
7. to handle window screenshots, the short-term approach was to just add
it to ra_swchain_fns. Long term (and for vulkan) this has to be moved to
ra itself (and vo_gpu altered to compensate), but this was a stop-gap
measure to prevent this commit from getting too big
8. move ra->fns->flush to ra_gl_ctx instead
9. some other minor changes that I've probably already forgotten
Note: This is one half of a major refactor, the other half of which is
provided by rossy's following commit. This commit enables support for
all linux platforms, while his version enables support for all non-linux
platforms.
Note 2: vo_opengl_cb.c also re-uses ra_gl_ctx so it benefits from the
--opengl- options like --opengl-early-flush, --opengl-finish etc. Should
be a strict superset of the old functionality.
Disclaimer: Since I have no way of compiling mpv on all platforms, some
of these ports were done blindly. Specifically, the blind ports included
context_mali_fbdev.c and context_rpi.c. Since they're both based on
egl_helpers, the port should have gone smoothly without any major
changes required. But if somebody complains about a compile error on
those platforms (assuming anybody actually uses them), you know where to
complain.
This is pretty trivial, but also quite annoying due to details like
mismatching eglGetProcAddress() function signature (most callers just
cast the function pointer), and ARM/Linux hacks. So move them all to one
place.
vo_wayland_wait_events() is going to return when its time to swap the
buffers anyway, calling request_frame() before makes no sense.
Fixes the constant high CPU usage by the compositor when mpv is paused
and the window is in view.
The problem was that when in fullscreen, switching between images did
not issue a resize event, causing none of the images to be rendered
correctly.
This fixes the problem by issuing a resize event with the screen width
and height.
This commit also moves the zeroing of the events field to when it gets
retrieved by mpv rather than randomly after a resize in the vo/backend
code.
This fits natively into the vo/backend and allows to simplify the
polling code.
One new change is the fact that surface_handle_enter flags VO_EVENT_WIN_STATE
and VO_EVENT_RESIZE instead of only VO_EVENT_WIN_STATE. Before this, the code
hackily relied on the timeout and the loop in the wait_frame function to track
and set the scaling factor. Instead, this triggers mpv to run a schedule_resize
and adjust the new VO output dimensions immediately. This is also more accurate
since surface_handle_enter() gets called when a surface is created, moved and
resized, which is exactly what the rest of the player might be interested in.
The wayland protocol exposes scaling done by the compositor to
compensate for small window sizes on small high DPI displays. If the
program ignores the scaling done, what'll happen is the compositor is
going to ask the program to be scaled down by N times the window size and
then it'll upscale the program's surface by N times. The scaling
algorithm seems to be bilinear so the scaling is quite obvious.
This commit sets up callbacks to listen for the scaling factor of each
output and, on rescale events, notifies the compositor that the
surface's scale is what the compositor asked for and changes the
player's surface to the appropriate size, causing no scaling to be done
by the compositor.
Compositors not supporting this interface will ignore the callbacks and do
nothing, keeping program behaviour the same. For compositors supporting
and using this interface (mutter), this will fix the rendering to be pixel
precise as it should be.
Both the opengl wayland backend and the wayland vo have been fixed to support
this. Verified to not break either on weston and mutter.

This covers source files which were added in mplayer2 and mpv times
only, and where all code is covered by LGPL relicensing agreements.
There are probably more files to which this applies, but I'm being
conservative here.
A file named ao_sdl.c exists in MPlayer too, but the mpv one is a
complete rewrite, and was added some time after the original ao_sdl.c
was removed. The same applies to vo_sdl.c, for which the SDL2 API is
radically different in addition (MPlayer supports SDL 1.2 only).
common.c contains only code written by me. But common.h is a strange
case: although it originally was named mp_common.h and exists in MPlayer
too, by now it contains only definitions written by uau and me. The
exceptions are the CONTROL_ defines - thus not changing the license of
common.h yet.
codec_tags.c contained once large tables generated from MPlayer's
codecs.conf, but all of these tables were removed.
From demux_playlist.c I'm removing a code fragment from someone who was
not asked; this probably could be done later (see commit 15dccc37).
misc.c is a bit complicated to reason about (it was split off mplayer.c
and thus contains random functions out of this file), but actually all
functions have been added post-MPlayer. Except get_relative_time(),
which was written by uau, but looks similar to 3 different versions of
something similar in each of the Unix/win32/OSX timer source files. I'm
not sure what that means in regards to copyright, so I've just moved it
into another still-GPL source file for now.
screenshot.c once had some minor parts of MPlayer's vf_screenshot.c, but
they're all gone.
