Essentially, this lets video.c decide whether to consider a video track
cover art, instead of having the decoder wrapper use the lower level
sh_stream flag.
Some pain because of the dumb threading shit. Moving the code further
down to make some of it part of the lock should not change behavior,
although it could (framedrop nonsense).
This commit should not change actual behavior, and is only preparation
for the following commit.
Do not make resetting the "access" filters reset the queue itself. This
is more flexible, and will be used in a later commit.
Also, if the queue is not in the reset state while the input access
filter is reset, make it immediately request data again. This is more
consistent, because it'll enter the state it "should" be, rather when
the filter's process function is called at an (essentially) random point
in the future. This means the filter graph will resume work on its own
if the queue was not reset before filter reset.
This could affect the only current user of f_async_queue, the code for
the --vd-queue-enable/--ad-queue-enable feature in f_decoder_wrapper.
But it looks like this already uses it in a compatible way.
This is a kind of bad hack (with bad implementation) to paint over other
problems of the filter system. The main problem is that some filters
might be left with pending frames if the filter runner is "paused",
which we don't want. To be used in a later commit.
It's relevant in some obscure corner cases (EDL file that has a segment
without audio). Didn't test what's actually going on (is ad_lavc.c
behaving wrong? is libavcodec behaving wrong or in an unexpected way? is
lavc_process wrong?) and just patched it over with some bullshit, so the
fix might be too complicated, and could be reworked at some later point.
This sure is a real data flow fuckmess.
scaletempo2 is a new audio filter for playing back
audio at modified speed and is based on chromium
commit 51ed77e3f37a9a9b80d6d0a8259e84a8ca635259.
It sounds subjectively better than the existing
implementions scaletempo and rubberband.
This mode drops or repeats audio data to adapt to video speed, instead
of resampling it or such. It was added to deal with SPDIF. The
implementation was part of fill_audio_out_buffers() - the entire
function is something whose complexity exploded in my face, and which I
want to clean up, and this is hopefully a first step.
Put it in a filter, and mess with the shitty glue code. It's all sort of
roundabout and illogical, but that can be rectified later. The important
part is that it works much like the resample or scaletempo filters.
For PCM audio, this does not work on samples anymore. This makes it much
worse. But for PCM you can use saner mechanisms that sound better. Also,
something about PTS tracking is wrong. But not wasting more time on
this.
This sucks, but is helpful for testing.
Obviously, it would be much nicer if there were a way to specify _all_
scaler options per filter (if the user wanted), instead of always using
the global options. But this is "too hard" for now. For testing, it is
extremely convenient to select the scaler backend, so add this option,
but make clear that it could go away. We'd delete it once there is a
better mechanism for this.
When the player core requests new frames from the filter, this is called
external/recursive filtering, which acts slightly differently from when
filters request new data internally. Mainly this is so the external user
doesn't have to call mp_filter_graph_run() just to get a frame. This
causes a number of complications, and the short version is that until
now, mp_filter_graph_run() has unnecessarily returned true in the
current common case, which made the playloop run too often for no
reason.
The problem is that when a mp_pin is read externally, updating the same
mp_pin during recursive filtering flagged external_pending when the
result was written, which made mp_filter_graph_run() return true, which
made the playloop call mp_filter_graph_run() again. This is redundant
because the caller is obviously checking the new state of the mp_pin
immediately.
The only situation in which external_pending really must be set is if
_another_ pin is changed. In theory, we could also unset it if the set
of "external" pins that are not in a signaled state becomes empty, but
we don't track that in a convenient way.
This commit removes the redundant signaling, and avoids running the
playloop an additional time for each video and audio frame (as it
actually was planned from the beginning, but duh).
If a filter receives an asynchronous wakeup during filtering, then
process newly pending filters resulting from that as well, before
returning to the user. Might possibly skip some redundant playloop
cycles.
There is an explicit comment in the code about how this shouldn't be
done, but I think it makes no sense. Filters have no business trying to
interrupt the mainloop, and mp_filter_graph_interrupt() provides a
proper mechanism to do this (though intended to be used by the filter
user, not filters).
After calling the main filter's destroy callback, all child filters are
destroyed. But one of them still tried to access the cache_lock mutex
(which is destroyed in said destroy callback). This actually caused a
crash on Android with _FORTIFY_SOURCE.
Fix this by destroying the child filters first.
As an unfortunate disaster, min/max values use the type double, which
causes tons of issues with int64_t types. Anyway, OPT_BYTE_SIZE is often
used as maximum for size_t quantities, which can have a size different
from (u)int64_t.
OPT_BYTE_SIZE still uses in64_t, because in theory, you could use it for
file sizes. (demux.c would for example be capable of caching more than
2GB on 32 bit platforms if a file cache is used. Though for some reason
the accounting code still uses size_t, so that use case is broken. But
still insist that it _could_ be used this way.)
There were various inconsistent attempts to set m_option.max to a value
such that the size_t/int64_t upper limit is not exceeded. Due to the
double max field, this didn't really work correctly. Try to fix this
with the M_MAX_MEM_BYTES constant. It's a good approximation, because on
32 bit it should allow 2GB (untested, also would probably exhaust
address space in practice but whatever), and something "high enough" in
64 bit.
For some reason, clang 11 still warns. But I think this might be a clang
bug, or I'm crazy. The result is correct anyway.
Change all OPT_* macros such that they don't define the entire m_option
initializer, and instead expand only to a part of it, which sets certain
fields. This requires changing almost every option declaration, because
they all use these macros. A declaration now always starts with
{"name", ...
followed by designated initializers only (possibly wrapped in macros).
The OPT_* macros now initialize the .offset and .type fields only,
sometimes also .priv and others.
I think this change makes the option macros less tricky. The old code
had to stuff everything into macro arguments (and attempted to allow
setting arbitrary fields by letting the user pass designated
initializers in the vararg parts). Some of this was made messy due to
C99 and C11 not allowing 0-sized varargs with ',' removal. It's also
possible that this change is pointless, other than cosmetic preferences.
Not too happy about some things. For example, the OPT_CHOICE()
indentation I applied looks a bit ugly.
Much of this change was done with regex search&replace, but some places
required manual editing. In particular, code in "obscure" areas (which I
didn't include in compilation) might be broken now.
In wayland_common.c the author of some option declarations confused the
flags parameter with the default value (though the default value was
also properly set below). I fixed this with this change.
Before this commit, option declarations used M_OPT_MIN/M_OPT_MAX (and
some other identifiers based on these) to signal whether an option had
min/max values. Remove these flags, and make it use a range implicitly
on the condition if min<max is true.
This requires care in all cases when only M_OPT_MIN or M_OPT_MAX were
set (instead of both). Generally, the commit replaces all these
instances with using DBL_MAX/DBL_MIN for the "unset" part of the range.
This also happens to fix some cases where you could pass over-large
values to integer options, which were silently truncated, but now cause
an error.
This commit has some higher potential for regressions.
Move the "old" mostly command line parsing and option management related
code to m_config_frontend.c/h. Move the the code that enables other part
of the player to access options to m_config_core.c/h. "frontend" is out
of lack of creativity for a better name.
Unfortunately, the separation isn't quite clean yet. m_config_frontend.c
still references some m_config_core.c implementation details, and
m_config_new() is even left in m_config_core.c for now. There some odd
functions that should be removed as well (marked as "Bad functions").
Fixing these things requires more changes and will be done separately.
struct m_config is left with the current name to reduce diff noise.
Also, since there are a _lot_ source files that include m_config.h, add
a replacement m_config.h that "redirects" to m_config_core.h.
The mp_filter_run() invocation blocks as long as the demuxer provides
packets and the queue can be filled. That means it may block quite a
long time of the decoder queue size is large (since we use libavcodec in
a blocking manner; it regrettably does not have an async. API).
This made the main thread freeze in certain situations, because it has
to wait on the decoder thread.
Other than I suspected (I wrote that code, but that doesn't mean I know
how the hell it works), this did not freeze during seeking: seek resets
flushed the queue, which also prevented the decoder thread from adding
more frames to it, thus stopping decoding and responding to the main
thread in time. But it does fix the issue that exiting the player waited
for the decoder to finish filling the queue when stopping playback.
(This happened because it called mp_decoder_wrapper_set_play_dir()
before any resets. Related to the somewhat messy way play_dir is
generally set. But it affects all "synchronous" decoder wrapper API
calls.)
This uses pretty weird mechanisms in filter.h and dispatch.h. The
resulting durr hurr interactions are probably hard to follow, and this
whole thing is a sin. On the other hand, this is a _very_ user visible
issue, and I'm happy that it can be fixed in such an unintrusive way.
p->log has a prefix set that gives some context and distinguishes audio
and video decoders. The "public" wrapper filter didn't use it, which is
a regression since commit a3823ce0e0.
Filtering is integrated into an event loop, which is something the
filter API user provides. To make interacting with the event loop
easier, and in particular to avoid filtering to block event handling,
add functions the event loop code can suspend filtering.
While we cannot actually suspend a single filter, it's pretty easy to
suspend the filter graph run loop itself, which is responsible for
selecting which filter to run next.
This commit shouldn't change behavior at all, but the functions will be
used in later commits.
This was forgotten.
Hardware decoding typically breaks immediately, because many hw decoding
APIs require allocating all surfaces in advance (and/or libavcodec was
not made flexible enough to add new surfaces later). If the queue is
large enough, it will run out of surfaces, fail decoding, and fall back
to software decoding. We consider this the user's fault.
--hwdec-extra-frames can be used to avoid this, if you have enough GPU
memory, and the needed number of frames is lower than the arbitrary
mpv-set maximum limit of that option.
Instead of having f_decoder_wrapper create its own copy of the entire
mpv option tree, create a struct local to that file and move all used
options to there.
movie_aspect is used by the "video-aspect" deprecated property code. I
think it's probably better not to remove the property yet, but
fortunately it's easy to work around without needing special handling
for this option or so.
correct_pts is used to prevent use of hr-seek in playloop.c. Ignore
that, if you use --no-correct-pts you're asking for trouble anyway. This
is the only behavior change.
See manpage additions. This has been a topic in MPlayer/mplayer2/mpv
since forever. But since libavcodec multi-threaded decoding was added,
I've always considered this pointless. libavcodec requires you to
"preload" it with packets, and then you can pretty much avoid blocking
on it, if decoding is fast enough.
But in some cases, a decoupled decoder thread _might_ help. Users have
for example come up with cases where decoding video in a separate
process and piping it as raw video to mpv helped. (Or my memory is
false, and it was about vapoursynth filtering, who knows.) So let's just
see whether this helps with anything.
Note that this would have been _much_ easier if libavcodec had an
asynchronous (or rather, non-blocking) API. It could probably have
easily gained that with a small change to its multi-threading code and a
small extension to its API, but I guess not.
Unfortunately, this uglifies f_decoder_wrapper quite a lot. Part of this
is due to annoying corner cases like legacy frame dropping and hardware
decoder state. These could probably be prettified later on.
There is also a change in playloop.c: this is because there is a need to
coordinate playback resets between demuxer thread, decoder thread, and
playback logic. I think this SEEK_BLOCK idea worked out reasonably well.
There are still a number of problems. For example, if the demuxer cache
is full, the decoder thread will simply block hard until the output
queue is full, which interferes with seeking. Could also be improved
later. Hardware decoding will probably die in a fire, because it will
run out of surfaces quickly. We could reduce the queue to size 1...
maybe later. We could update the queue options at runtime easily, but
currently I'm not going to bother.
I could only have put the lavc wrapper itself on a separate thread. But
there is some annoying interaction with EDL and backward playback shit,
and also you would have had to loop demuxer packets through the
playloop, so this sounded less annoying.
The food my mother made for us today was delicious.
Because audio uses the same code, also for audio (even if completely
pointless).

This is supposed to enable communication between filter graphs on
separate threads. Having multiple threads makes only sense if they can
run concurrently with each other, which requires such an asynchronous
queue as a building block. (Probably.)
The basic idea is that you have two independent filters, which can be
each part of separate filter graphs, but which communicate into one
direction with an explicit queue. This is rather similar to unix pipes.
Just like unix pipes, the queue is limited in size, so that still some
data flow control enforced, and runaway memory usage is avoided.
This implementation is pretty dumb. In theory, you could avoid avoid
waking up the filter graphs in quite a lot of situations. For example,
you don't need to wake up the consumer filter if there are already
frames queued. Also, you could add "watermarks" that set a threshold at
which producer or consumer should be woken up to produce/consume more
frames (this would generally serve to "batch" multiple frames at once,
instead of performing high-frequency wakeups). But this is hard, so the
code is dumb. (I just deleted all related code when I still got
situations where wakeups were lost.)
This is actually salvaged and modified from a much older branch I had
lying around. It will be used in the next commit.
Instead of vague ideas about making different filter graphs on different
threads interact directly, this have no direct support. Instead, helpers
are required (such as added with the next commit).
Document it. Different root filters (i.e. separate filter graphs) are
now considered to be part of separate threads, so assert() if they're
found to accidentally interact.
mp_filter_mark_async_progress() can asynchronously mark a filter for
processing, without waking up the filter thread. (It's some sort of
idiotic micro-optimization I guess?) But since it sets async_pending
without doing the wakeup, a mp_filter_wakeup() after this will do
nothing, and the wakeup is lost. Fix it by checking for the needed
wakeup separately.
Fortunately, nothing used this function yet, so there is no impact.
I may (optionally) move decoding to a separate thread in a future
change. It's a bit attractive to move the entire decoder wrapper to
there, so if the demuxer has a new packet, it doesn't have to wake up
the main thread, and can directly wake up the decoder. (Although that's
bullshit, since there's a queue in between, and libavcodec's
multi-threaded decoding plays cross-threads ping pong with packets
anyway. On the other hand, the main thread would still have to shuffle
the packets around, so whatever, just seems like better design.)
As preparation, there shouldn't be any mutable state exposed by the
wrapper. But there's still a large number of corner-caseish crap, so
just use setters/getters for them. This recorder thing will inherently
not work, so it'll have to be disabled if threads are used.
This is a bit painful, but probably still the right thing. Like
speculatively pulling teeth.
Filters that fail to create are not supposed to do this. Generally it
should happen in process() only.
This fixes the previous commit. If a filter could not be created, it
"trashed" the wrapper filter with the failure. (Even if the wrapper were
to handle were to handle failures of sub-filter, it couldn't handle init
failure because it cannot call mp_filter_set_error_handler() before the
newly created filter is actually returned.)
Fixes: #7465 (attempt 2)
If hw decoding is used, but no hw deinterlacer is available, even though
we expect that it is present, fall back to using hw-download and yadif
anyway. Until now, it was over if the hw filter was somehow missing; for
example, yadif_cuda apparently requires a full Cuda SDK, so it can be
missing, even if nvdec is available. (Whether this particular case works
was not tested with this commit.)
Fixes: #7465
Libav seems rather dead: no release for 2 years, no new git commits in
master for almost a year (with one exception ~6 months ago). From what I
can tell, some developers resigned themselves to the horrifying idea to
post patches to ffmpeg-devel instead, while the rest of the developers
went on to greener pastures.
Libav was a better project than FFmpeg. Unfortunately, FFmpeg won,
because it managed to keep the name and website. Libav was pushed more
and more into obscurity: while there was initially a big push for Libav,
FFmpeg just remained "in place" and visible for most people. FFmpeg was
slowly draining all manpower and energy from Libav. A big part of this
was that FFmpeg stole code from Libav (regular merges of the entire
Libav git tree), making it some sort of Frankenstein mirror of Libav,
think decaying zombie with additional legs ("features") nailed to it.
"Stealing" surely is the wrong word; I'm just aping the language that
some of the FFmpeg members used to use. All that is in the past now, I'm
probably the only person left who is annoyed by this, and with this
commit I'm putting this decade long problem finally to an end. I just
thought I'd express my annoyance about this fucking shitshow one last
time.
The most intrusive change in this commit is the resample filter, which
originally used libavresample. Since the FFmpeg developer refused to
enable libavresample by default for drama reasons, and the API was
slightly different, so the filter used some big preprocessor mess to
make it compatible to libswresample. All that falls away now. The
simplification to the build system is also significant.
This is for easier use with the "delay_open" feature added in the
previous commit. The "null" codec is reported if the codec is unknown
(because the stream was not opened yet at time the tracks were added).
The rest of the timeline mechanism will set the correct codec at
runtime. But this means every time a delay-loaded track is selected, it
wants to initialize a decoder for the "null" codec.
Accept a "null" decoder. But since FFmpeg has no such codec, and out of
my own laziness, just let it fall back to "common" codecs that need no
other initialization data.
This was used to convert e.g. P010 to NV12 within the filter chain,
which hopefully a thing that is not needed anymore. (And has been dead
code since the ANGLE "RGB" interop code was removed.)
Notably, BGR0, which is the only additional format listed as supported
by the texture mapper, results in broken colors. This is most likely not
a mpv issue, so the whitelist fulfils its purpose.
I think the previous code didn't consider the situation if the input
format was not any of the upload formats. It then could have possibly
tried to upload the wrong format (and not sure what the underlying APIs
do with it).
Take care of this, also improve logging, and change it such that
mp_hwupload_find_upload_format() does not unnecessarily change the state
(although it doesn't really matter).
With the recent change how f_hwtransfer could select formats, it's
possible that the upload_fmts list contains formats that are never
selected, and the filter would have failed.
The way it works now is that f_hwtransfer gets to select the format
(which honestly doesn't make sense, but whatever), and f_autoconvert
gets only a single format.
It would be more ideal if f_hwtransfer provided a list of possible input
formats, but that's absurdly too complex for now. Maybe I'll change it
back at some later point, but I expect this shit to be in a perpetual
state of complexity and brokenness.
(Oh yes, we could have skipped all the complexity, and hardcoded the
cases that work in the first place. This wouldn't be an issue if FFmpeg
or libva exported correct information. Also possible that FFmpeg's
filter chain does not allow to do this correctly in the first place,
since filters expose next to no meta information about what hw formats
etc. they need.)
Note that uploading yuv420p to a nv12 vaapi surface actually works, but
the blacklist excludes it. So this might get a bit slower. I'm not
bothering with this case because it's rarely needed, and the blacklist
specification would become a bit more complex if you had to specify
sw/upload format pairs.
Fixes: #7350
Basically, instead of trusting the upload format, and picking the first
sw format that has a desired upload format, trust the sw format. So now
we pick the sw format first, and then select from the set of upload
formats supported by it.
This is probably more straightforward, and works around a crash with
vaapi:
mpv 8bit.mkv --vf=format=vaapi --gpu-hwdec-interop=all
(Forces vaapi upload if hw decoding is not enabled.)
Unfortunately, this still does not work, because vaapi, FFmpeg, the VO
interop code, or all of them are doing something stupid. In particular,
this picks the yuv420p sw format, which doesn't really exist despiter
advertised (???????????????????????????????????????), and simply breaks.
See: #7350
This was completely broken: it compared the first item of the filter
list only. Apparently I forgot that this is a list. This probably broke
aspects of runtime filter changing probably since commit b16cea750f.
Fix this, and remove some redundant code from obj_settings_equals().
Which is not the same as m_obj_settings_equal(), so rename it to make
confusing them harder. (obj_setting_match() has these very weird label
semantics that should probably just be killed. Or not.)
Better do this here than deal with the moronic project we unfortunately
depend on.
The workaround is generic; unknown whether it works correctly with
multi-input/output filters or filter graphs. It assumes that if all
inputs are EOF, and all outputs are EAGAIN, the bug happened.
This is pretty tricky, because anything could happen. Any time some form
of progress is made, the got_eagain state needs to be reset, because the
filter pad's state could have changed.
With the previous commit, there's no need for 1.5 anymore. And in fact,
it's just too dangerous to rely on 1.5 because of all the EGL craziness.
For example, you might get a 1.5 EGL system library, but a driver might
still give you 1.4 at runtime. If you assume that you can call 1.5
functions, you will probably get random crashes in this case. What a
cursed API. (The same problem exists with EGL 1.3, but fortunately
nothing seems to use that anymore. We can just ignore that problem.)
