The examples demonstrates use with optical media, which is far from
mpv's main purpose.
The authors section is a leftover from MPlayer times. There are enough
other places which reiterate how mpv is based on mplayer2/MPlayer,
copyright statements, and so on.
Hint that the linked section contains information for Windows. (Well,
that's a lie, but it has a link to the Windows section.)
Avoid implying that lines in the config file end with ';'. Also, the <>
are probably just confusing.
Notes:
- Unfortunately the only way to talk to EGL from within DRM I could find
involves linking with GBM (generic buffer management for Mesa.)
Because of this, I'm pretty sure it won't work with proprietary NVidia
drivers, but then again, last time I checked NVidia didn't offer
proper screen resolution for VT.
- VT switching doesn't seem to work at all. It's worth mentioning that
using vo_drm before introduction of VT switcher had an anomaly where
user could switch to another VT and input text to it, while video
played on top of that VT. However, that isn't the case with drm_egl:
I can't switch to other VT during playback like this. This makes me
think that it's either a limitation coming from my firmware or from
EGL/KMS itself rather than a bug with my code. Nonetheless, I still
left (untestable) VT switching code in place, in case it's useful to
someone else.
- The mode_id, connector_id and device_path should be configurable for
power users and people who wish to watch videos on nonprimary screen.
Unfortunately I didn't see anything that would allow OpenGL backends
to register their own set of options. At the same time, adding them to
global namespace is pointless.
- A few dozens of lines could be shared with vo_drm (setting up VT
switching, most of code behind page flipping). I don't have any strong
opinion on this.
- Sometimes I get minor visual glitches. I'm not sure if there's a race
condition of some sort, unitialized variable (doubtful), or if it's
buggy driver. (I'm using integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 with Mesa)
- .config and .control are very minimal.

While it seemed like a pretty good idea at first, it's just a dead end
and works only in the simplest cases. While it may or may not help
slightly with audio sync mode, the display-sync mode already compensates
this in a better way. The main issue is that timestamps at this layer
are not in order, so it can look at single timestamps only.
Implement NNEDI3, a neural network based deinterlacer.
The shader is reimplemented in GLSL and supports both 8x4 and 8x6
sampling window now. This allows the shader to be licensed
under LGPL2.1 so that it can be used in mpv.
The current implementation supports uploading the NN weights (up to
51kb with placebo setting) in two different way, via uniform buffer
object or hard coding into shader source. UBO requires OpenGL 3.1,
which only guarantee 16kb per block. But I find that 64kb seems to be
a default setting for recent card/driver (which nnedi3 is targeting),
so I think we're fine here (with default nnedi3 setting the size of
weights is 9kb). Hard-coding into shader requires OpenGL 3.3, for the
"intBitsToFloat()" built-in function. This is necessary to precisely
represent these weights in GLSL. I tried several human readable
floating point number format (with really high precision as for
single precision float), but for some reason they are not working
nicely, bad pixels (with NaN value) could be produced with some
weights set.
We could also add support to upload these weights with texture, just
for compatibility reason (etc. upscaling a still image with a low end
graphics card). But as I tested, it's rather slow even with 1D
texture (we probably had to use 2D texture due to dimension size
limitation). Since there is always better choice to do NNEDI3
upscaling for still image (vapoursynth plugin), it's not implemented
in this commit. If this turns out to be a popular demand from the
user, it should be easy to add it later.
For those who wants to optimize the performance a bit further, the
bottleneck seems to be:
1. overhead to upload and access these weights, (in particular,
the shader code will be regenerated for each frame, it's on CPU
though).
2. "dot()" performance in the main loop.
3. "exp()" performance in the main loop, there are various fast
implementation with some bit tricks (probably with the help of the
intBitsToFloat function).
The code is tested with nvidia card and driver (355.11), on Linux.
Closes#2230
Add the Super-xBR filter for image doubling, and the prescaling framework
to support it.
The shader code was ported from MPDN extensions project, with
modification to process luma only.
This commit is largely inspired by code from #2266, with
`gl_transform_trans()` authored by @haasn taken directly.
A hw decoder might fail to decode a frame for multiple reasons, and not
always just because decoding is impossible. We can't generally
distinguish these reasons well. Make it more tolerant by accepting
failures of 3 frames, but not more. The threshold can be adjusted by the
repurposed --vd-lavc-software-fallback option.
(This behavior was suggested much earlier in some PR, but at the time
the "proper" hwdec fallback was indistinguishable from decoding error.
With the current situation, "proper" fallback is still instantious.)
Enable it by default, but not unconditionally. Add an "auto" mode, which
disable DwmFlush if the compositor is (probably) inactive. Let's see how
this goes.
Since I accidentally enabled DwmFlush always by default (more or less)
in a previous commit touching this code, this is probably mostly just
cargo-culting, and it's uncertain whether it does anything.
Note that I still got bad vsync behavior when fullscreening mpv, and
making another window visible on the same screen. This happens even if
forcing DWM.
Yet another relatively useless option that tries to make OpenGL's sync
behavior somewhat sane. The results are not too encouraging. With a
value of 1, vsync jitter is gone on nVidia, but there are frame drops
(less than with glfinish). With 2, I get the usual vsync jitter _and_
frame drops.
There's still some hope that it might prevent too deep queuing with some
GPUs, I guess.
The timeout for the wait call is 1 second. The value is pretty
arbitrary; it should just not be too high to freeze the process (if
the GPU is un-nice), and not too low to trigger the timeout in normal
cases, even if the GPU load is very high. So I guess 1 second is ok
as a timeout.
The idea to use fences this way to control the queue depth was stolen
from RetroArch:
df01279cf3/gfx/drivers/gl.c (L1856)
It's great that the new algorithm supports multiple placebo iterations
and all, but it's really not necessary and hurts performance in the
general case for the sake of the 0.1% that actually pause the screen
and look for minute differences.

Thanks to rcombs, ffmpeg now properly supports DASH and we can
remove our hacks for it and use it by default whenever
available. If you don't like this for whatever reason, you
can get the "normal" streams back with --ytdl-format=best .

libass 0.13.0 breaks this due to removal of fontconfig from its core
(instead, fontconfig is one possible backend, and pattern lookup is
apparently not possible anymore).
Useless. Sometimes it might be useful to make some extremely broken
files work, but on the other hand --no-correct-pts is sufficient for
these cases.
While we still need some of the code for AVI, the "auto" mode in
particular inflated the size of the code.
The manpage entry explains this.
(Maybe this option could be always enabled and removed. I don't quite
remember what valid use-cases there are for just disabling audio
entirely, other than that this is also needed for audio decoder init
failure.)
This reverts commit d11184a256.
Unfortunately, there was a lot of unexpected resistance.
Do note that this is still extremely slow, crappy, etc.
Note that vo_x11.c was further edited. Compared to the removed vo_x11.c,
an additional ~200 lines of code was removed in order to simplify it. I
tried to strip it down as much as possible. In particular, support for
odd non-32 bit formats (24, 16, 15, 8 bit) is dropped.
Closes#2300.
The vf_format suboption is replaced with --video-output-levels (a global
option and property). In particular, the parameter is removed from
mp_image_params. The mechanism is moved to the "video equalizer", which
also handles common video output customization like brightness and
contrast controls.
The new code is slightly cleaner, and the top-level option is slightly
more user-friendly than as vf_format sub-option.
VideoToolbox is preferred. Now that FFmpeg released 2.8, there's no
reason to support VDA anymore. In fact, we had a bug that made VDA not
useable with older FFmpeg versions in some newer mpv releases.
VideoToolbox is supported even on slightly older OSX versions, and if
not, you still can run mpv without hw decoding.
This turns the old scalers (inherited from MPlayer) into a pre-
processing step (after color conversion and before scaling). The code
for the "sharpen5" scaler is reused for this.
The main reason MPlayer implemented this as scalers was perhaps because
FBOs were too expensive, and making it a scaler allowed to implement
this in 1 pass. But unsharp masking is not really a scaler, and I would
guess the result is more like combining bilinear scaling and unsharp
masking.
I see no point in keeping these around. Keeping wrappers for some select
libavfilter filters just because MPlayer had these filters is not a good
reason.
Ultimately, all real filtering work should go to libavfilter, and users
should get used to using vf_lavfi directly. We might even not require
the awful double-nested syntax for using libavfilter one day.
vf_rotate, vf_yadif, vf_stereo3d are kept because mpv uses them
internally. (They all extend the lavfi filters or change their
defaults.) vf_mirror is kept for symmetry with vf_flip. vf_gradfun and
vf_pullup are probably semi-popular, so I'll remove them not yet - only
after some more discussion.
This causes weirdness with the "cache-size" property and option. Only
the read handler of the property included the backbuffer, while all
others did not. Make it consistent, and subtract the backbuffer size
from the cache size.
Fixes#2305.
The removal of source-shader is a side effect, since this effectively
replaces it - and the video-reading code has been significantly
restructured to make more sense and be more readable.
This means users no longer have to constantly download and maintain a
separate deband.glsl installation alongside mpv, which was the only real
use case for source-shader that we found either way.
The single path optimization, rendering the video in one shader pass and
without FBO indirections, was removed soem commits ago. It didn't have a
place in this code, and caused considerable complexity and maintenance
issues.
On the other hand, it still has some worth, such as for use with
extremely crappy hardware (GLES only or OpenGL 2.1 without FBO
extension). Ideally, these use cases would be handled by a separate VO
(say, vo_gles). While cleaner, this would still cause code duplication
and other complexity.
The third option is making the single-pass optimization a completely
separate code path, with most vo_opengl features disabled. While this
does duplicate some functionality (such as "unpacking" the video data
from textures), it's also relatively unintrusive, and the high quality
code path doesn't need to take it into account at all. On another
positive node, this "dumb-mode" could be forced in other cases where
OpenGL 2.1 is not enough, and where we don't want to care about versions
this old.
This change makes vo_opengl slightly less compatible (ancient devices
without FBOs will no longer work) and decreases performance in the
simplest case (vo=opengl), in exchange for significantly reducing code
complexity and making everything easier to reason about.
Some users still use this filter, so the filter was going to be kept.
But I overlooked that libavfilter provides this filter. Remove the
redundant wrapper from mpv. Something like --af=lavfi=bs2b should work
and give exactly the same results.
All of these filters are considered not useful anymore by us. Some have
replacements in libavfilter (useable through af_lavfi).
af_center, af_extrastereo, af_karaoke, af_sinesuppress, af_sub,
af_surround, af_sweep: pretty simple and useless filters which probably
nobody ever wants.
af_ladspa: has a replacement in libavfilter.
af_hrtf: the algorithm doesn't work properly on most sources, and the
implementation was buggy and complicated. (The filter was inherited from
MPlayer; but even in mpv times we had to apply fixes that fixed major
issues with added noise.) There is a ladspa filter if you still want to
use it.
af_export: I'm not even sure what this is supposed to do. Possibly it
was meant for GUIs rendering audio visualizations, but it couldn't
really work well. For example, the size of the audio depended on the
samplerate (fixed number of samples only), and it couldn't retrieve the
complete audio, only fragments. If this is really needed for GUIs, mpv
should add native visualization, or a proper API for it.
Can significantly help with very large video resolutions on nvidia
drivers. It doesn't seem to have negative effects on Intel drivers
either. (Although it could have on Intel drivers for older hardware.)
For now, this is only for --vo=opengl-hq. Maybe --vo=opengl should use
it too, but it's still meant to be the crappy, fail-safe default.
Provides a simplistic way to seek without having to care about weird
situations like timestamp vs. playback time. This is good, because the
seek command is currently timestamp based, so when using the seek
command the user _does_ have to care.
This significantly reduces the amount of noticeable flashing when using
tscale kernels with negative lobes, by cutting them off completely.
I'm not sure if this has any negative effects. It needs a bit of
subjective testing over a period of time, so I just made it an option.
Fixes#2155.
