This removes support for FFmpeg 1.0.x, which is even older than
Libav 9.x. Support for it probably was already broken, and its
libswresample was rejected by our build system anyway because it's
broken.
Mostly untested; it does compile with Libav 9.9.
Sometimes, vf_pullup hanged on seek. This was because it never was
properly reset. Old timestamps messed up the timestamp calculations,
which made the player show frames for a ridiculously long time, which is
perceived as pausing or hanging.
The old ffmpeg vdpau support code uses separate vdpau pixel formats for
each decoder (pretty much because mplayer's architecture sucked), which
just gets into the way. Force the old decoder's output to IMGFMT_VDPAU,
and remove IMGFMT_IS_VDPAU() where we can remove it.
This should completely remove the differences betwene the old and new
vdpau decoder outside of the decoder.
PIX_FMT_VDA_VLD and PIX_FMT_VAAPI_VLD were never used anywhere. I'm not
sure why they were even added, and they sound like they are just for
compatibility with XvMC-style decoding, which sucks anyway.
Now that there's only a single vaapi format, remove the
IMGFMT_IS_VAAPI() macro. Also get rid of IMGFMT_IS_VDA(), which was
unused.
pthreads should be available anywhere. Even if not, for environment
without threads a pthread wrapper could be provided that can't actually
start threads, thus disabling features that require threads.
Make pthreads mandatory in order to simplify build dependencies and to
reduce ifdeffery. (Admittedly, there wasn't much complexity, but maybe
we will use pthreads more in the future, and then it'd become a real
bother.)
So, FFmpeg/Libav requires us to figure out video timestamps ourselves
(see last 10 commits or so), but the methods it provides for this aren't
even sufficient. In particular, everything that uses AVI-style DTS (avi,
vfw-muxed mkv, possibly mpeg4-in-ogm) with a codec that has an internal
frame delay is broken. In this case, libavcodec will shift the packet-
to-image correspondence by the codec delay, meaning that with a delay=1,
the first AVFrame.pkt_dts is not 0, but that of the second packet. All
timestamps will appear shifted. The start time (e.g. the time displayed
when doing "mpv file.avi --pause") will not be exactly 0.
(According to Libav developers, this is how it's supposed to work; just
that the first DTS values are normally negative with formats that use
DTS "properly". Who cares if it doesn't work at all with very common
video formats? There's no indication that they'll fix this soon,
either. An elegant workaround is missing too.)
Add a hack to re-enable the old PTS code for AVI and vfw-muxed MKV.
Since these timestamps are not reorderd, we wouldn't need to sort them,
but it's less code this way (and possibly more robust, should a demuxer
unexpectedly output PTS).
The original intention of all the timestamp changes recently was
actually to get rid of demuxer-specific hacks and the old timestamp
sorting code, but it looks like this didn't work out. Yet another case
where trying to replace native MPlayer functionality with FFmpeg/Libav
led to disadvantages and bugs. (Note that the old PTS sorting code
doesn't and can't handle frame dropping correctly, though.)
Bug reports:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3178https://bugzilla.libav.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600
Using --start with files that use DTS only, or which simply have broken
PTS timestamps, would incorrectly drop frames and possibly not execute
the seek correctly.
Add yet another heuristic to detect this. The intent is that --start and
hr-seeks in general should work correctly, but in order to keep things
fast, we still want to allow frame dropping during hr-seek if there are
no problems doing so. Do this by disabling frame dropping by default,
but re-enabling it if there are no problems found for a while. As a
consequence, --start might be somewhat slower, but normal user
interaction should remain as fast as before.
Note that there's something subtle about the added code: the
has_broken_packet_pts field is checked even before the first packet is
fed to dec_video.c, so the field must not be set to 0 right on start.
It's not initially set to 0 anyway, because the heuristic requires
decoding some images before enabling frame drop anyway.
Note 2: it's not clear whether frame dropping during hr-seek really
helps; I didn't benchmark it.
The d_video->pts field was a bit strange. The code overwrote it multiple
times (on decoding, on filtering, then once again...), and it wasn't
really clear what purpose this field had exactly. Replace it with the
mpctx->video_next_pts field, which is relatively unambiguous.
Move the decreasing PTS check to dec_video.c. This means it acts on
decoder output, not on filter output. (Just like in the previous commit,
assume the filter chain is sane.) Drop the jitter vs. reset semantics;
the dec_video.c determined PTS never goes backwards, and demuxer
timestamps don't "jitter".
Also get rid of the PTS check _after_ filters. This means if there's a
video filter which unsets PTS, no warning will be printed. But we assume
that all filters are well-behaved enough by now.
Refactor the PTS handling code to make it cleaner, and to separate the
bits that use PTS sorting.
Add a heuristic to fall back to DTS if the PTS us non-monotonic. This
code is based on what FFmpeg/Libav use for ffplay/avplay and also
best_effort_timestamp (which is only in FFmpeg). Basically, this 1. just
uses the DTS if PTS is unset, and 2. ignores PTS entirely if PTS is non-
monotonic, but DTS is sorted.
The code is pretty much the same as in Libav [1]. I'm not sure if all of
it is really needed, or if it does more than what the paragraph above
mentions. But maybe it's fine to cargo-cult this.
This heuristic fixes playback of mpeg4 in ogm, which returns packets
with PTS==DTS, even though the PTS timestamps should follow codec
reordering. This is probably a libavformat demuxer bug, but good luck
trying to fix it.
The way vd_lavc.c returns the frame PTS and DTS to dec_video.c is a bit
inelegant, but maybe better than trying to mess the PTS back into the
decoder callback again.

These used the suffix _resync_stream, which is a bit misleading. Nothing
gets "resynchronized", they really just reset state.
(Some audio decoders actually used to "resync" by reading packets for
resuming playback, but that's not the case anymore.)
Also move the function in dec_video.c to the top of the file.
When using PIC on x86 (eg with hardened toolchains) the ebx register is
reserverd and cannot be used in assembly code.
For vf_eq we allow the compiler to use memory as input.
For vf_noise we temoporarily borrow the ebp register.
This fixes#361.

This means the code that tries to figure out the timestamp from
demuxer and decoder output is now all in dec_video.c. We set the
final timestamp on the returned image (mp_image.pts), as well as
the d_video->pts field.
The way the player uses d_video->pts field is still a bit messy. Maybe
this could be cleaned up later.
It appears PTS sorting was useful only for avi files (and VfW-muxed
mkv). Maybe it was historically also important for decoders with broken
or non-existent PTS reordering (win32 codecs?). But now that we handle
demuxers which outputs DTS only correctly, it just seems dead weight.
Disable it by default. The --pts-association-mode option is now forced
to always use the decoder's PTS value. You can still enable the old
default (auto) or force sorting. But we will probably remove this option
entirely at some point.
Make demux_mkv export timestamps at DTS when it's in VfW mode. This is
needed to get correct timestamps with the new default mode. demux_lavf
already does that.
Having the DTS directly can be useful for restoring PTS values.
The avi file format doesn't actually store PTS values, just DTS. An
older hack explicitly exported the DTS as PTS (ignoring the [I assume]
genpts generated non-sense PTS), which is not necessary anymore due to
this change.
Now the --no-correct-pts mode is like the normal mode, just with
different timestamp calculations. The semantics should be about the
same as before this commit.
Before this commit, this mode estimated the frame time by subtracting
successive packet PTS values. This is complete non-sense for video
codecs which use reordering. The code compensated frame times for these
non-sense using the FPS value, but confused the rest of the player with
non-sense jumping around timestamps. So, all in all this mode is not
very useful.
Repurpose this mode for fixed frame rate playback. This gives almost the
same behavior as the old mode with forced framerate (--fps option). The
result is simpler and often more robust.
Instead of passing the PTS as separate field, pass it as part of the
usual data structures. Basically, this removes strange artifacts from
the API. (It's not finished, though: the final decoded PTS goes through
strange paths, and filter_video() finally overwrites the decoded
mp_image's pts field with it.)
We also stop using libavcodec's reordered_opaque fields, and use
AVPacket.pts and AVFrame.pkt_pts. This is slightly unorthodox, because
these pts fields are not "really" opaque anymore, yet we treat them as
such. But the end result should be the same, and reordered_opaque is
marked as partially deprecated (it's not clear whether it's really
deprecated).
This is not needed anymore, because we decided that the PAR of the
decoded video matters, and not the PAR of the filtered video that
arrives at the VO.
When mpv is started with some video filters set (--vf is used), and
hardware decoding is requested, and hardware decoding would be possible,
but is prevented due to video filters that accept software formats only,
the fallback didn't work properly sometimes.
This fallback works rather violently: it tries to initialize the filter
chain, and if it fails it throws away the frame decoded using the
hardware, and retries with software. The case that didn't work was when
decoding the current packet didn't immediately lead to a new frame. Then
the filter chain wouldn't be reinitialized, and the playloop would stop
playback as soon as it encounters the error flag.
Fix this by resetting the filter error flag (back to "uninitialized"),
which is a rather violent, but somewhat working solution.
The fallback in general should perhaps be cleaned up later.
If the --fps option was given (MPOpts->force_fps), the demuxer FPS value
was overwritten with the forced value. This was fine, since the demuxer
value wasn't needed anymore. But with the recent changes not to write to
the demuxer stream headers, we don't want to do this anymore. So
maintain the (forced/updated) FPS value in dec_video->fps.
The removed code in loadfile.c is probably redundant, and an artifact
from past refactorings.
Note that sub.c will now always use the demuxer FPS value, instead of
the user override value. I think this is fine, because it used the
demuxer's video size values too. (And it's rare that these values are
used at all.)
Now the actual decoder doesn't need to care about this anymore, and it's
handled in generic code instead. This simplifies vd_lavc.c, and in
particular we don't need to detect format changes in the old way
anymore.
The only reason why these structs were dynamically allocated was to
avoid recursive includes in stheader.h, which is (or was) a very central
file included by almost all other files. (If a struct is referenced via
a pointer type only, it can be forward referenced, and the definition of
the struct is not needed.) Now that they're out of stheader.h, this
difference doesn't matter anymore, and the code can be simplified.
Also sneak in some sanity checks.
This used to be needed to access the generic stream header from the
specific headers, which in turn was needed because the decoders had
access only to the specific headers. This is not the case anymore, so
this can finally be removed again.
Also move the "format" field from the specific headers to sh_stream.
This is similar to the sh_audio commit.
This is mostly cosmetic in nature, except that it also adds automatical
freeing of the decoder driver's state struct (which was in
sh_video->context, now in dec_video->priv).
Also remove all the stheader.h fields that are not needed anymore.
This drops the --pp option, which was probably broken for a while. The
option automatically inserted the "pp" filter. The value passed to it
was ignored (which is probably broken, it always selected maximal
quality).
Inserting this filter can be done simply with --vf=pp, so this is not
needed anymore.
This means most code accessing this struct must now include hwdec.h
instead of dec_video.h. I just put it into dec_video.h at first because
I thought a separate file would be a waste, but it's more proper to do
it this way, as there are too many files which include dec_video.h only
to get the mp_hwdec_info definition.
vo_opengl always loads the hwdec backend lazily, so hwdec_request_api()
has to be called to possibly load it. This makes vf_vavpp work with
software decoding. (Hardware decoding loads the backend before the
filter is initialized, so this case is different.)
Also, the VFCTRL_GET_HWDEC_INFO call doesn't need to be checked. If it
fails, the info will be left blank.
This initialized only the load_api and load_api_ctx fields, and left the
other fields as they were. This failed with vf_vavpp, which assumed all
fields are initialized.
This commit adds a new build system based on waf. configure and Makefile
are deprecated effective immediately and someday in the future they will be
removed (they are still available by running ./old-configure).
You can find how the choice for waf came to be in `DOCS/waf-buildsystem.rst`.
TL;DR: we couldn't get the same level of abstraction and customization with
other build systems we tried (CMake and autotools).
For guidance on how to build the software now, take a look at README.md
and the cross compilation guide.
