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.)
It's user_filters.c which allows the "lavfi-" prefix to distinguish
libavfilter filters from mpv builtin filters. f_lavfi.c is a layer
below, and strictly passes anything it gets to libavfilter. So the
correct place for this is in user_filters.c, which also has the code for
stripping the prefix in the normal filter instantiation code.
This didn't match what is in wscript_build.py. Also, it should work on
non-X11 platforms... probably. (The condition is convoluted and almost
nonsensical, but the offscreen context creation needs to be cleaned up
anyway as soon as other backends, e.g. for win32, are added.)
Probably pretty useless in this form (see: the wall of warnings), but
someone wanted this.
I think this should be useful to perform some automated tests, maybe.
Fixes: #7194
Just an implementation detail that can be cleaned up now. Internally,
m_config maintains a tree of m_sub_options structs, except for the root
it was not defined explicitly. GLOBAL_CONFIG was a hack to get access to
it anyway. Define it explicitly instead.
This is used to detect whether any filters were changed. This code was
essentially ported to m_option.c.
One possible difference is how the old code did name comparison. It did
not actually compare the name (!?!?), so this might change behavior,
hopefully to the better.
Until now, using a filter not in mpv's builtin filter list would assume
it's a libavfilter filter. If it wasn't, the option value was still
accepted, but creating the filter simply failed. But since this happens
after option parsing, so the result is confusing.
Improve this slightly by checking filter names. This will reject truly
unknown filters at option parsing time. Unfortunately, this still does
not check filter arguments. This would be much more complex, because
you'd have to create a dummy filter graph and allocate the filter. Maybe
another time.
When changing filters at runtime (vf/af commands/properties), this could
crash due to a NULL pointer access. The code for comparing the old and
new option values (to detect changes) was simply buggy.
This wasn't done, probably regression from one of the last dozen of
times this special code path was touched. This meant coverart images
ignored the user-set aspect ratio completely, and some other things.
Shovel the code around to make the data flow slightly simpler (?). At
least there's only one send_packet function now. The old code had the
problem that send_packet() could be called even if there were queued
packets; due to sending the queued packets in the receive_frame
function, this should not happen anymore (the code checking for this
case in send_packet should normally never be called).
Untested with actual full stream hw decoders (none available here); I
created a test case by making hwaccel decoding fail.
This was too hardcoded to libswscale. In particular, IMGFMT_RGB30 output
is only possible with the zimg wrapper, so the context needs to be taken
into account (since this depends on the --sws-allow-zimg option
dynamically). This is still slightly risky, because zimg currently will
still fall back to swscale in some cases, such as when it refuses to
initialize the particular color conversion that is requested.
f_autoconvert.c could actually handle this better, but I'm tool fucking
lazy right now, and nobody cares anyway, so go away, OK?
Purpose uncertain. I guess it's slightly better, maybe.
The move of the sws/zimg options from VO opts (vo_opt_list) to the
top-level option list is tricky. VO opts have some helper code in vo.c,
that sends VOCTRL_SET_PANSCAN to the VO on every VO opts change. That's
because updating certain VO options used to be this way (and not just
the panscan option). This isn't needed anymore for sws/zimg options, so
explicitly move them away.
lavc_process() calls the receive/send callbacks, which mirror
libavcodec's send/receive API. The receive API in particular can return
both a status code and a frame. Normally, libavcodec is pretty explicit
that it can't return both a frame and an error. But the receive callback
does more stuff in addition (vd_lavc does hardware decoding fallbacks
etc.). The previous commit shows an instance where this happened, and
where it leaked a frame in this case.
For robustness, check whether the frame is set first, i.e. trust it over
the status code. Before this, it checked for an EOF status first.
Hopefully is of no consequence otherwise. I made this change after
testing everything (can someone implement a test suite which tests this
exhaustively).
ad_lavc and vd_lavc use the lavc_process() helper to translate the
FFmpeg push/pull API to the internal filter API (which completely
mismatch, even though I'm responsible for both, just fucking kill me).
This interface was "slightly" too tight. It returned only a bool
indicating "progress", which was not enough to handle some cases (see
following commit).
While we're at it, move all state into a struct. This is only a single
bool, but we get the chance to add more if needed.
This fixes mpv falling asleep if decoding returns an error during
draining. If decoding fails when we already sent EOF, the state machine
stopped making progress. This left mpv just sitting around and doing
nothing.
A test case can be created with: echo $RANDOM >> image.png
This makes libavformat read a proper packet plus a packet of garbage.
libavcodec will decode a frame, and then return an error code. The
lavc_process() wrapper could not deal with this, because there was no
way to differentiate between "retry" and "send new packet". Normally, it
would send a new packet, so decoding would make progress anyway. If
there was "progress", we couldn't just retry, because it'd retry
forever.
This is made worse by the fact that it tries to decode at least two
frames before starting display, meaning it will "sit around and do
nothing" before the picture is displayed.
Change it so that on error return, "receiving" a frame is retried. This
will make it return the EOF, so everything works properly.
This is a high-risk change, because all these funny bullshit exceptions
for hardware decoding are in the way, and I didn't retest them. For
example, if hardware decoding is enabled, it keeps a list of packets,
that are fed into the decoder again if hardware decoding fails, and a
software fallback is performed. Another case of horrifying accidental
complexity.
Fixes: #6618
Form some reason (and because of my fault), vf_format converts image
formats, but nothing else. For example, setting the "colormatrix"
sub-parameter would not convert it to the new value, but instead
overwrite the metadata (basically "reinterpreting" the image data
without changing it).
Make the historical mistake worse, and go all the way and extend it such
that it can perform a conversion. For compatibility reasons, this needs
to be requested explicitly. (Maybe this would deserve a separate filter
to begin with, but things are messed up anyway. Feel free to suggest an
elegant and simple solution.)
This demonstrates how zimg can properly perform some conversions which
swscale cannot (see examples added to vf.rst).
Stupidly this requires 2 code paths, one for conversion, and one for
overriding the parameters.
Due to the filter bullshit (what was I thinking), this requires quite
some acrobatics that would not be necessary without these abstractions.
On the other hand, it'd definitely be more of a mess without it. Oh
whatever.
With the previous commit, this is dead code.
This also makes the f_autoconvert.c code for this dead code
(fortunately). Will probably remove this later.
