It was used to determine whether the VO supports VOCTRL_SET_PANSCAN.
With all those changes to property semantics this became unnecessary,
and its only use was dropped at some point.
Just another corner-caseish potential issue. Unlike unreffing the image
manually, unref_current_image() also takes care of properly unmapping
hwdec frames. (The corner-case part of this is that it's probably never
mapped at this point, but it's apparently not entirely guaranteed.)
The " || vimg->mpi" part virtually never seems to trigger, but on the
other hand could possibly create unintended corner cases (for example by
trying to upload a NULL image, which would then be marked as an error
and render a blue screen).
I guess it's a leftover from over times, where a NULL image meant
"redraw the current frame". This is now handled by actually passing
along the current frame.
Nvidia's "NvDecode" API (up until recently called "cuvid" is a cross
platform, but nvidia proprietary API that exposes their hardware
video decoding capabilities. It is analogous to their DXVA or VDPAU
support on Windows or Linux but without using platform specific API
calls.
As a rule, you'd rather use DXVA or VDPAU as these are more mature
and well supported APIs, but on Linux, VDPAU is falling behind the
hardware capabilities, and there's no sign that nvidia are making
the investments to update it.
Most concretely, this means that there is no VP8/9 or HEVC Main10
support in VDPAU. On the other hand, NvDecode does export vp8/9 and
partial support for HEVC Main10 (more on that below).
ffmpeg already has support in the form of the "cuvid" family of
decoders. Due to the design of the API, it is best exposed as a full
decoder rather than an hwaccel. As such, there are decoders like
h264_cuvid, hevc_cuvid, etc.
These decoders support two output paths today - in both cases, NV12
frames are returned, either in CUDA device memory or regular system
memory.
In the case of the system memory path, the decoders can be used
as-is in mpv today with a command line like:
mpv --vd=lavc:h264_cuvid foobar.mp4
Doing this will take advantage of hardware decoding, but the cost
of the memcpy to system memory adds up, especially for high
resolution video (4K etc).
To avoid that, we need an hwdec that takes advantage of CUDA's
OpenGL interop to copy from device memory into OpenGL textures.
That is what this change implements.
The process is relatively simple as only basic device context
aquisition needs to be done by us - the CUDA buffer pool is managed
by the decoder - thankfully.
The hwdec looks a bit like the vdpau interop one - the hwdec
maintains a single set of plane textures and each output frame
is repeatedly mapped into these textures to pass on.
The frames are always in NV12 format, at least until 10bit output
supports emerges.
The only slightly interesting part of the copying process is that
CUDA works by associating PBOs, so we need to define these for
each of the textures.
TODO Items:
* I need to add a download_image function for screenshots. This
would do the same copy to system memory that the decoder's
system memory output does.
* There are items to investigate on the ffmpeg side. There appears
to be a problem with timestamps for some content.
Final note: I mentioned HEVC Main10. While there is no 10bit output
support, NvDecode can return dithered 8bit NV12 so you can take
advantage of the hardware acceleration.
This particular mode requires compiling ffmpeg with a modified
header (or possibly the CUDA 8 RC) and is not upstream in ffmpeg
yet.
Usage:
You will need to specify vo=opengl and hwdec=cuda.
Note that hwdec=auto will probably not work as it will try to use
vdpau first.
mpv --hwdec=cuda --vo=opengl foobar.mp4
If you want to use filters that require frames in system memory,
just use the decoder directly without the hwdec, as documented
above.
Instead of copying the options around... just don't. video.c now has
full control over when options are updated. (It still gets notified from
outside, but it decides when the updated options are copied: when
m_config_cache_update() is called.) So there's no need for tricky
stuff, and it can be simplified a bit.
Also change lcms.c. We could do it like video.c, and get the options
from the global config store. But it seems simpler to just provide a
pointer to an option struct, which is arbitrarily mutated from the
outside (from the perspective of lcms.c).
Setting --icc-profile had no effect, until a vo_opengl option was
changed at runtime. We must initialize the renderer for the initial
option state too.
For some reason, the ICC profile gets loaded twice. The next commit
happens to fix this.
I decided that it's too much work to convert all the VO/AOs to the new
option system manually at once. So here's a shitty hack instead, which
achieves almost the same thing. (The only user-visible difference is
that e.g. --vo=name:help will list the sub-options normally, instead of
showing them as deprecation placeholders. Also, the sub-option parser
will verify each option normally, instead of deferring to the global
option parser.)
Another advantage is that once we drop the deprecated options,
converting the remaining things will be easier, because we obviously
don't need to add the compatibility hacks.
Using this mechanism is separate in the next commit to keep the diff
noise down.
Instead of requiring each VO or AO to manually add members to MPOpts and
the global option table, make it possible to register them automatically
via vo_driver/ao_driver.global_opts members. This avoids modifying
options.c/options.h every time, including having to duplicate the exact
ifdeffery used to enable a driver.
On a VOCTRL_UPDATE_PLAYBACK_STATE store the state, and use it to
initialize the next time the task list becomes available.
This actually fixes#3482. Revert commit f2e25e9e because it's not
needed anymore.
With the recent vo_opengl changes it doesn't do anything anymore.
I don't think a deprecation period is necessary, because the command
was always marked as experimental.
vo_opengl sub-option were always rather annoying to handle. It seems
better to make them global options instead. This is simpler and easier
to use. The only disadvantage we are aware of is that it's not clear
that many/all of these new global options work with vo_opengl only.
--vo=opengl-hq is also deprecated.
There is extensive compatibility with the old behavior. One exception is
that --vo-defaults will not apply to opengl-hq (though with opengl it
still works). vo-cmdline is also dysfunctional and will be removed in a
following commit.
These changes also affect opengl-cb.
The update mechanism is still rather inefficient: it requires syncing
with the VO after each option change, rather than batching updates.
There's also no granularity (video.c just updates "everything", and if
auto-ICC profiles are enabled, vo_opengl.c will fetch them on each
update).
Most of the manpage changes were done by Niklas Haas <git@haasn.xyz>.
This is still rather basic.
run_reconfig() and run_control() update the options because it's needed
for panscan (and other video scaling options), and fullscreen, border,
ontop updates. In the old model, these options could be accessed only
while both playback thread and VO threads were locked (i.e. during
synchronous calls like vo_control()), so this should be sufficient in
order not to miss any updates. In the future, a more fine-grained update
mechanism could be added to handle these updates "exactly".
x11_common.c contains an evil hack, as I see no reasonable way to handle
this properly. The VO thread can't "lock" the main thread, so this is
not simple.
Reduce accesses to the renderer opts in vo_opengl.c, and instead add
accessors for them to video.c.
I suppose gamma and maybe icc-auto could be moved to vo_opengl.c
options. Also, the output colorspace could probably be adjusted to what
is really used, not just the options (although it's possible that this
commit changes this, due to video.c mutating its own copy of the options
according to actual renderer capapbilities).
But don't deal with this now.
Normally I'd prefer a bunch of smaller functions with fewer parameters
over a single function with a lot of parameters. But future changes will
require messing with the parameters in a slightly more complex way, so a
combined function will be needed anyway. The now-unused "global"
parameter is required for later as well.
Deprecated in favor of user-shaders, which are functionally equivalent
but superior. (Except in the case of scaler-shader, which has no direct
replacement, but it turned out to be a very unpopular feature either way
- most custom scalers don't fit into the mpv kernel infrastructure and
are therefore implemented as user shaders either way)

Positional parameters cause problems because they can be ambiguous with
flag options. If a flag option is removed or turned into a non-flag
option, it'll usually be interpreted as value for the first sub-option
(as positional parameter), resulting in very confusing error messages.
This changes it into a simple "option not found" error.
I don't expect that anyone really used positional parameters with --vo
or --ao. Although the docs for --ao=pulse seem to encourage positional
parameters for the host/sink options, which means it could possibly
annoy some PulseAudio users.
--vf and --af are still mostly used with positional parameters, so this
must be a configurable option in the option parser.
Before this commit, all VOs had to toggle the option flag themselves,
now command.c does it.
I can't really comprehend why it required every VO to do this manually.
Maybe it was for rejecting the property/option change if the VO didn't
support a specific capability. But then it could have checked the VOCTRL
result. In any case, I don't care, and successfully changing the
property without doing anything (With some VOs) is fine too. Many things
work this way now, and it's simpler overall.
This change will be useful for cleaning up VO option handling.
Just a minor refactor along the planned option change. This commit will
make it easier to update (i.e. copy) the VO options without copying
_all_ options. For now, behavior should be equivalent, though.
(The VO options were put into a separate struct quite early - when all
global variables were removed from the source code. It wasn't clear
whether the separate struct would have any actual purpose, but it seems
it will now. Awesome, huh.)
It seems like many GL implementations (including Mesa) choke on this,
while others are fine. We still think that this use of the GL API is
allowed by the standard (at least in the Mesa case), so to reduce
confusion, explicitly check the "controversial" calls, and use an
appropriate error message.
Because VOCTRL_CHECK_EVENTS is processed asynchronously (as of 088a007,)
the GUI thread no longer gets regular wakeups, so the old check that
made sure the video window matched the parent window's size in --wid
embedding mode did not run very often. This made --wid embedding not
very usable.
Instead of polling for window size changes, use Windows hooks to react
to them when they happen. When the parent window is owned by the same
process as the video window, use a WH_CALLWNDPROC hook. When the parent
window is not owned by the same process, WinEvents must be used, which
are not as smooth, but still work for this purpose.
Since neither SetWindowsHookEx nor SetWinEventHook take a context
parameter to send data to the hook function, the hook functions must
find the child window by its class instead, so there are a few changes
to ensure this is fast and the class is unique.
This also fixes up the logic to handle window destruction. When a parent
window is destroyed, its children are also destroyed, so this gives us a
way to react to parent window destruction without polling.
If the video has the same size as the screen, starting with --fs and
then leaving fullscreen doesn't actually leave fullscreen.
The reason is that mpv tries to restore the previous window size if
necessary (otherwise, you'd end up with a Window of nearly the same size
as the screen with some WMs). It will typically restore with the
rectangle set exactly to the screen if no other position or size is
forced. This triggers pre-EWMH fullscreen mode, which WMs detect using
various heuristics.
Apparently we triggered this with mutter (but strangely no other WMs).
It's possible that pre-EWMH fullscreen mode actually requires removing
decorations, and mutter either ignores this. But this is speculation and
I haven't checked.
Work this around by reducing the requested size by 1 pixel if it
happens.
This was observed with mutter 3.18.2.
Fixes#2072.
This should actually be rather safe - we already check whether the
estimated value jitters less than the (possibly untrustworthy) nominal
one. Remove a "safety" check that disabled this code for small
deviations, and make it trigger sooner into playback. Also lower the log
level of messages about using the estimated display FPS down to verbose.
Normally there's another mechanism for smoothing out minor estimation
differences, but that is not good enough here.
This possibly improves behavior as reported in #3433, which can be
reproduced with --vo=null:fps=48.426 --display-fps=48 (though it doesn't
consider the jitter introduced by a real VO).
Doing this required synchronizing with the VO thread, which could lead
to audio dropouts if the VO was frozen (which can happen in practice if
e.g. an opengl_cb user is not doing what the API demands).
Add a way to send asynchronous VOCTRLs, and use that for the playback
state. In theory, it would be better to make this status update a
several function and to "merge" several queued update, but that would be
slightly more effort/code, and the update is so infrequent that the
merging would never happen anyway.
The change to vo_destroy() is to make sure all queued asynchronous
reuqests are finished before making the vo_thread exit.
Even though it's only used on MS Windows, it's run on any platform with
any VO, which makes this worse.
run_control() dereferences an uint32_t as int. Whether this is allowed
depends on what uint32_t is typedefed to (dereferencing an unsigned int
as int should be fine). Fix it by always using int. The uint32_t type
never really made sense.
In display-sync mode, the very first video frame is idiotically fully
timed, even though audio has not been synced yet at this point, and the
video frame is more like a "preview" frame. But since it's fully timed,
an underflow is detected if audio takes longer than the display time of
the frame (we send the second frame only after audio is done).
The timing code will try to compensate for the determined desync, but it
really shouldn't. So explicitly discard the timing info in this specific
case. On the other hand, if the first frame still hasn't finished
display, we can pretend everything is ok.
This is a hack - ideally, we either would send a frame without timing
info (and then send it again or so when playback starts properly), or we
would add real pause support to the VO, and pause it during syncing.
VOCTRL_CHECK_EVENTS is called on every frame. This is by design, and is
supposed to check the event queue of the windowing API.
With the decoupled GUI thread in w32_common.c this doesn't make too much
sense, and the purpose of VOCTRL_CHECK_EVENTS is really reduced to
checking event flags. Even worse, waiting on the GUI thread can
interfere with playback, since win32 sometimes blocks the event loop
(e.g. clicking the window title bar).
Change the code such that we really only query the event flags. Use
atomics to avoid having to add a new mutex. (We assume we always have
real atomics available. The build system doesn't check this properly,
and it could fall back to dummy atomics, which are not atomic.)
Should help with #3393. Doesn't help if the core happens to send a
synchronous request, most commonly via VOCTRL_SET_CURSOR_VISIBILITY or
VOCTRL_UPDATE_PLAYBACK_STATE.
Prevents segfaults when a fullscreen switch is issued before fully
initializing the VO.
Doesn't change anything since the schedule_resize is only there to
resize in case the image size switches, which happens long after init.
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.
ssurface_handle_configure()'s width and height are just hints given by
the compositor, the application's free to not respect those strictly and
to compensate for e.g. aspect ratio.
This prevents crazy scenarios in which pictures with portrait aspect
ratios have a huge black area to make them 16:9 or whatever the
compositor feels like.
With X11 it was usually left up to the window manager to prevent huge
windows from being out of range, but no Wayland compositor will do
this right now.
Hugely improves usability when using mpv as an image viewer.
