Currently, calling mp_input_wakeup() will wake up the core thread (also
called the playloop). This seems odd, but currently the core indeed
calls mp_input_wait() when it has nothing more to do. It's done this way
because MPlayer used input_ctx as central "mainloop".
This is probably going to change. Remove direct calls to this function,
and replace it with mp_wakeup_core() calls. ao and vo are changed to use
opaque callbacks and not use input_ctx for this purpose. Other code
already uses opaque callbacks, or has legitimate reasons to use
input_ctx directly (such as sending actual user input).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Until now, this has been either handled over vo.event_fd (which should
go away), or by putting event handling on a separate thread. The
backends which do the latter do it for a reason and won't need this, but
X11 and Wayland will, in order to get rid of event_fd.
This is plumbed through a new VOCTRL, VOCTRL_PERFORMANCE_DATA, and
exposed as properties render-time-last, render-time-avg etc.
All of these numbers are in microseconds, which gives a good precision
range when just outputting them via show-text. (Lua scripts can
obviously still do their own formatting etc.)

Instead of implicitly resetting the options to defaults and then
applying the options, they're always applied on top of the current
options (in the same way adding new options to the CLI command line
will).
This does not apply to vo_opengl_cb, because that has an even worse mess
which I refuse to deal with.
The main change is with video/hwdec.h. mp_hwdec_info is made opaque (and
renamed to mp_hwdec_devices). Its accessors are mainly thread-safe (or
documented where not), which makes the whole thing saner and cleaner. In
particular, thread-safety rules become less subtle and more obvious.
The new internal API makes it easier to support multiple OpenGL interop
backends. (Although this is not done yet, and it's not clear whether it
ever will.)
This also removes all the API-specific fields from mp_hwdec_ctx and
replaces them with a "ctx" field. For d3d in particular, we drop the
mp_d3d_ctx struct completely, and pass the interfaces directly.
Remove the emulation checks from vaapi.c and vdpau.c; they are
pointless, and the checks that matter are done on the VO layer.
The d3d hardware decoders might slightly change behavior: dxva2-copy
will not use the VO device anymore if the VO supports proper interop.
This pretty much assumes that any in such cases the VO will not use any
form of exclusive mode, which makes using the VO device in copy mode
unnecessary.
This is a big refactor. Some things may be untested and could be broken.
Add --taskbar-progress command line option and property which controls taskbar
progress indication rendering in Windows 7+. This option is on by default and
can be toggled during playback.
This option does not affect the creation process of ITaskbarList3. When the
option is turned off the progress bar is just hidden with TBPF_NOPROGRESS.
Closes#2535
It always was a weird artifact - VOCTRLs are meant _not_ to require
special handling in the code that passes them through (like in vo.c).
Removing it is also interesting to further reduce the dependency of
backends on struct vo. Just get rid of it.
Removing it is somewhat inconvenient, because in many situations the UI
window is created after the first VOCTRL_UPDATE_WINDOW_TITLE. This means
these backends have to store it in a new field in their own context.
At least I hope so.
Deriving the duration from the pts was not really correct. It doesn't
include speed adjustments, and becomes completely wrong of the user e.g.
changes the playback speed by a huge amount. Pass through the accurate
duration value by adding a new vo_frame field.
The value for vsync_offset was not correct either. We don't need the
error for the next frame, but the error for the current one. This wasn't
noticed because it makes no difference in symmetric cases, like 24 fps
on 60 Hz.
I'm still not entirely confident in the correctness of this, but it sure
is an improvement.
Also, remove the MP_STATS() calls - they're not really useful to debug
anything anymore.
This was just converting back and forth between int64_t/microseconds and
double/seconds. Remove this stupidity. The pts/duration fields are still
in microseconds, but they have no meaning in the display-sync case (also
drop printing the pts field from opengl/video.c - it's always 0).
This is simply the average refresh rate. Including "bad" samples is
actually an advantage, because the property exists only for
informational purposes, and will reflect problems such as the driver
skipping a vsync.
Also export the standard deviation of the vsync frame duration
(normalized to the range 0-1) as vsync-jitter property.
It doesn't have any real purpose anymore. Up until now, it was still
implemented by vo_wayland, but since we changed how the frame callbacks
work, even that appears to be pointless.
Originally, the plan was to somehow extend this mechanism to all
backends and to magically fix frame scheduling, but since we can't hope
for proper mechanisms even on wayland, this idea looks way less
interesting.
This adds support for the progress indicator taskbar extension
that was introduced with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
I don’t like this solution because it keeps its own state and
introduces another VOCTRL, but I couldn’t come up with anything
less messy.
closes#2399
If the player sends a frame with duration==0 to the VO, it can trivially
underrun. Don't panic, but keep the correct time.
Also, returning the absolute time from vo_get_next_frame_start_time()
just to turn it into a float with relative time was silly. Rename it and
make it return what the caller needs.
"Missed" implies the frame was dropped, but what really happens is that
the following frame will be shown later than intended (due to the
current frame skipping a vsync).
(As of this commit, this property is still inactive and always
returns 0. See git blame for details.)
next_vsync/prev_vsync was only used to retrieve the vsync duration. We
can get this in a simpler way.
This also removes the vsync duration estimation from vo_opengl_cb.c,
which is probably worthless anyway. (And once interpolation is made
display-sync only, this won't matter at all.)
This parameter has been unused for years (the last flag was removed in
commit d658b115). Get rid of it.
This affects the general VO API, as well as the vo_opengl backend API,
so it touches a lot of files.
The VOFLAGs are still used to control OpenGL context creation, so move
them to the OpenGL backend code.
If this mode is enabled, the player tries to strictly synchronize video
to display refresh. It will adjust playback speed to match the display,
so if you play 23.976 fps video on a 24 Hz screen, playback speed is
increased by approximately 1/1000. Audio wll be resampled to keep up
with playback.
This is different from the default sync mode, which will sync video to
audio, with the consequence that video might skip or repeat a frame once
in a while to make video keep up with audio.
This is still unpolished. There are some major problems as well; in
particular, mkv VFR files won't work well. The reason is that Matroska
is terrible and rounds timestamps to milliseconds. This makes it rather
hard to guess the framerate of a section of video that is playing. We
could probably fix this by just accepting jittery timestamps (instead
of explicitly disabling the sync code in this case), but I'm not ready
to accept such a solution yet.
Another issue is that we are extremely reliant on OS video and audio
APIs working in an expected manner, which of course is not too often
the case. Consequently, the new sync mode is a bit fragile.
Instead of calling it "future frames" and adding or subtracting 1 from
it, always call it "requested frames". This simplifies it a bit.
MPContext.next_frames had 2 added to it; this was mainly to ensure a
minimum size of 2. Drop it and assume VO_MAX_REQ_FRAMES is at least 2;
together with the other changes, this can be the exact size of the
array.
draw_image_timed is renamed to draw_frame. struct frame_timing is
renamed to vo_frame. flip_page_timed is merged into draw_frame (the
additional parameters are part of struct vo_frame). draw_frame also
deprecates VOCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME, and replaces it with a method that
works for both VOs which can cache the current frame, and VOs which
need to redraw it anyway.
This is preparation to making the interpolation and (work in progress)
display sync code saner.
Lots of other refactoring, and also some simplifications.
For now, this is trivial (and actually redundant). The future display
sync code will make better use of it. The main point is that the new
internal API pretty much makes this transparent to the vo_opengl
interpolation code.
Now the VO can request a number of future frames with the last parameter
of vo_set_queue_params(). This will be helpful to fix the interpolation
code.
Note that the first frame (after playback start or seeking) will usually
not have any future frames (to make seeking fast). Near the end of the
file, the number of future frames will become lower as well.
Instead of having separate backends, make use of GLES a flag. This
reduces the number of backends and the resulting annoyances.
Also, nobody cares about using GLES, so there's no backward
compatibility either.
Interrupt video timing. This means the Cocoa event loop does not have
to up to 2 video frame durations until redrawing the frame finally has
finished.
We abuse the VO event flags for this. Eventually this should use
wait_vo() or so in the video timing wait function, but for now the
interaction this would require with the code of other VOs/backends
would cause too much of a mess.
I think this used to be quite important, because the ancient VfW support
in MPlayer used to output flipped frames. This code has been dead in mpv
for quite some time (because VfW decoders were removed, and the --flip
option was dropped too), so get rid of it.
Rarely used and essentially useless. The only VO for which this was
implemented correctly and for which this did anything was vo_xv, but you
shouldn't use vo_xv anyway (plus it support BT.601 only, plus a vendor
specific extension for BT.709, whose presence this function essentially
reported - use xvinfo instead).
This caused complaints because the fps was basically rounded on
microsecond boundaries in the vsync interval (it seemed convenient to
store only the vsync interval). So store the fps as float too, and let
the "display-fps" property return it directly.
I'm not comfortable with VOCTRL_GET_DISPLAY_FPS being called every
frame.
This requires the VO to set VO_EVENT_WIN_STATE if the FPS could have
changed. At least the X11 backend does this.
This will be pretty useful to let mpv automatically change VO parameters based
on ambient lighting conditions.
