They are evil and should be eradicated. Some of these were pretty dumb
anyway.
There are probably some more around in platform specific code or other
code not enabled by default on Linux.
This VA_FOURCC isn't even defined by latest drivers, so I'm just
assuming it doesn't exist and never existed. For planar 4:2:0,
VA_FOURCC_YV12 is normally preferred, and there's even a VA_FOURCC_IYUV
for 4:2:0 with unswapped planes.
This makes it much faster if the surface is really mapped from GPU
memory. It's slightly slower than system memcpy if used on system
memory. We don't really know definitely in which type of memory
it's located, so we use the GPU memcpy in all cases.
Fixes#2317.
Printing "Using vaDeriveImage()" every frame is too verbose, so raise
the log level.
mp_image strides are in int and not unsigned int; fix this. It's not
like it actually matters, though.
Finish a comment.
This can happen if the hw decoder allocates padded surfaces (e.g.
mod16), but the VPP output surface was allocated with the exact size.
Apparently VPP requires matching input and output sizes, or it will add
artifacts. In this case, it added mirrored pixels to the bottom few
pixels.
Note that the previous commit should have fixed this. But it didn't
work, while this commit does.
Fixes#2320.
vaQueryImageFormats() returns a randomly ordered list - so we shouldn't
assume the first format on the list which works is the best. This
effectively switches to nv12 instead of yuv420p on some drivers.
We handle this by reusing va_to_imgfmt[], and ordering it by preference.
We hardcode that GPUs prefer nv12 pver yuv420p. In theory we could do
complicated probing (allocate dummy surface + use vaDeriveImage on it,
then retrieve the FourCC) - but all things which could break assumption
in the future are not supported yet (like 10 bit or 4:4:4), so this is
fine.
Drop libva versions below 0.34.0. These are ancient, so I don't care.
Drop the vo_vaapi deinterlacer as well. With 0.34.0, VPP is always
available, and deinterlacing is done with vf_vavpp.
The vaCreateSurfaces() function changes its signature - actually it did
in 0.34.0 or so, and the <va/va_compat.h> defined a macro to make it use
the old signature.
Work around that FFmpeg doesn't distinguish between surface and cropped
size. The decoder always aligns the surface size to something
"convenient" (e.g. 16 for h264), and to get to the correct cropped size,
the output image's width/height is reduced. Using the cropped size
instead of the real surface size breaks the libva API in certain cases,
so we simply store and use the original size in our per-surface struct.
(If data is cropped on the left/top borders, hw decoding will simply
display these - FFmpeg doesn't let us do better.)
In theory, this code path avoids a copy. In practice, it never seems
to get enabled at all. But it does have potential for weird bugs or
performance issues (like being mapped from non-cacheable memory),
so kill it.
When using --hwdec=auto, about half of all systems will print:
"[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1"
this happens because usually mpv will be linked against both vdpau and
vaapi libs, but the drivers are not necessarily available. Then trying
to load a driver will fail. This is a normal part of probing, but the
error messages were printed anyway. Silence them by explicitly
distinguishing probing.
This pretty much goes through all the layers. We actually consider
loading hw backends for vo_opengl always "auto probed", even if a hw
backend is explicitly requested. In this case vd_lavc will print a
warning message anyway (adjust this message a bit).
This is somewhat imperfect, because detection of hw decoding APIs is
mostly done on demand, and often avoided if not necessary. (For example,
we know very well that there are no hw decoders for certain codecs.)
This also requires every hwdec backend to identify itself (see hwdec.h
changes).
Instead of converting the hw surface to an image in the VO, provide a
generic way to convet hw surfaces, and use this in the screenshot code.
It's all relatively straightforward, except vdpau is being terrible. It
needs a huge chunk of new code, because copying back is not simple.
Before this commit, each hw backend had their own specific struct types
for context, and some, like VDA, had none at all. Add a context struct
(mp_hwdec_ctx) that provides a somewhat generic way to pass the hwdec
context around. Some things get slightly better, some slightly more
verbose.
mp_hwdec_info is still around; it's still needed, but is reduced to its
role of handling delayed loading of the hwdec backend.
So talking to a certain Intel dev, it sounded like modern VA-API drivers
are reasonable thread-safe. But apparently that is not the case. Not at
all. So add approximate locking around all vaapi API calls.
The problem appeared once we moved decoding and display to different
threads. That means the "vaapi-copy" mode was unaffected, but decoding
with vo_vaapi or vo_opengl lead to random crashes.
Untested on real Intel hardware. With the vdpau emulation, it seems to
work fine - but actually it worked fine even before this commit, because
vdpau was written and designed not by morons, but competent people
(vdpau is guaranteed to be fully thread-safe).
There is some probability that this commit doesn't fix things entirely.
One problem is that locking might not be complete. For one, libavcodec
_also_ accesses vaapi, so we have to rely on our own guesses how and
when lavc uses vaapi (since we disable multithreading when doing hw
decoding, our guess should be relatively good, but it's still a lavc
implementation detail). One other reason that this commit might not
help is Intel's amazing potential to fuckup anything that is good and
holy.
Until now, failure to allocate image data resulted in a crash (i.e.
abort() was called). This was intentional, because it's pretty silly to
degrade playback, and in almost all situations, the OOM will probably
kill you anyway. (And then there's the standard Linux overcommit
behavior, which also will kill you at some point.)
But I changed my opinion, so here we go. This change does not affect
_all_ memory allocations, just image data. Now in most failure cases,
the output will just be skipped. For video filters, this coincidentally
means that failure is treated as EOF (because the playback core assumes
EOF if nothing comes out of the video filter chain). In other
situations, output might be in some way degraded, like skipping frames,
not scaling OSD, and such.

mpv supports two hardware decoding APIs on Linux: vdpau and vaapi. Each
of these has emulation wrappers. The wrappers are usually slower and
have fewer features than their native opposites. In particular the libva
vdpau driver is practically unmaintained.
Check the vendor string and print a warning if emulation is detected.
Checking vendor strings is a very stupid thing to do, but I find the
thought of people using an emulated API for no reason worse.
Also, make --hwdec=auto never use an API that is detected as emulated.
This doesn't work quite right yet, because once one API is loaded,
vo_opengl doesn't unload it, so no hardware decoding will be used if the
first probed API (usually vdpau) is rejected. But good enough.
VAAPI has some ambiguous image formats, like VA_FOURCC_I420,
VA_FOURCC_IYUV, VA_FOURCC_YV12 (the latter exactly the same as the first
two, just with swapped planes). There is potentially a problem when one
specific VAAPI format was picked, and converting it to a mpv format and
back to a VAAPI FourCC would result in a numerically different format
(even if it's actually the same). Then it could e.g. happen that
functions like va_surface_upload() reallocate the underlying VAImage,
which would be inefficient. Change the code so that this can't happen.
(Probably not a problem in practice with the current VAAPI usage.)
It's not really needed to be public. Other code can just use mp_image.
The only disadvantage is that the other code needs to call an accessor
to get the VASurfaceID.
Although I at first thought it would be better to have a separate
implementation for hwaccels because the difference to software images
are too large, it turns out you can actually save some code with it.
Note that the old implementation had a small memory management bug. This
got painted over in commit 269c1e1, but is hereby solved properly.
Also note that I couldn't test vf_vavpp.c (due to lack of hardware), and
I hope I didn't accidentally break it.
This ended up a little bit messy. In order to get a mp_log everywhere,
mostly make use of the fact that va_surface already references global
state anyway.
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.
Before, a VO could easily refuse to respond to VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME,
which means the VO wouldn't redraw OSD and window contents, and the
player would appear frozen to the user. This was a bit stupid, and makes
dealing with some corner cases much harder (think of --keep-open, which
was hard to implement, because the VO gets into this state if there are
no new video frames after a seek reset).
Change this, and require VOs to always react to VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME.
There are two aspects of this: First, behavior after a (successful)
vo_reconfig() call, but before any video frame has been displayed.
Second, behavior after a vo_seek_reset().
For the first issue, we define that sending VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME after
vo_reconfig() should clear the window with black. This requires minor
changes to some VOs. In particular vaapi makes this horribly
complicated, because OSD rendering is bound to a video surface. We
create a black dummy surface for this purpose.
The second issue is much simpler and works already with most VOs: they
simply redraw whatever has been uploaded previously. The exception is
vdpau, which has a complicated mechanism to track and filter video
frames. The state associated with this mechanism is completely cleared
with vo_seek_reset(), so implementing this to work as expected is not
trivial. For now, we just clear the window with black.
Don't allocate a VAImage and a mp_image every time. VAImage are cached
in the surfaces themselves, and for mp_image an explicit pool is
created. The retry loop runs only once for each surface now.
This also makes use of vaDeriveImage() if possible.
The code using FFSWAP was moved from vo_vaapi.c to vaapi.c, which didn't
include libavutil/common.h anymore, just libavutil/avutil.h. The header
avutil.h doesn't include common.h recursively in Libav, so it broke
there.
Add FFSWAP as MPSWAP in mp_common.h (copy pasted from ffmpeg) to make
sure this doesn't happen again. (This kind of stuff happens all too
often, so screw libavutil.)
