When I added mp_regular_imgfmt, I made the chroma subsampling use the
actual chroma division factor, instead of a shift (log2 of the actual
value). I had some ideas about how this was (probably?) more intuitive
and general. But nothing ever uses non-power of 2 subsampling (except
jpeg in rare cases apparently, because the world is a bad place).
Change the fields back to use shifts and rename them to avoid mistakes.
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.
As pointed out by @olifre in #7016, this line of code was wrong. p->opts
at this point is a struct allocated and managed by m_config. opts->file
is a string, and m_config explicitly frees it on destruction. The line
of code in question replaced the opts->file value, and made both the old
and new value children of the talloc allocation, so they were _also_
freed on destruction.
This crashed due to a double-free. First, talloc auto-freeing freed the
string, then m_config explicitly called talloc_free() on the stale
pointer again.
As @v-fox pointed out, commit 36dd2348a1 seems to have triggered the
crash. I suspect this code merely worked out of coincidence, since it
allowed m_config to free the value first. This removed it from the
auto-free list, and thus did not result in a double-free. The change
in order of calling alloc destructors changed the order of these calls.
There is no strong reason why new behavior (as introduced by commit
36dd2348a1) would be wrong (it feels like cleaner behavior). On the
other hand, what the vf_vapoursynth code did is clearly unclean and
going by the m_config API, you're not at all supposed to do this.
m_config manages all memroy referenced by option structs, the end.
@olifre's suggested fix also would have been correct (not just hiding
the issue), I prefer my fix, as it doesn't mess with the option struct
in tricky ways.
This wouldn't have happened if mpv were written in Haskell.
I once created this because someone wanted to use vapoursynth without
the Python dependency. No idea if anyone ever actually used it. It's
sort of icky (it calls itself "lazy" to preempt complaints about how
much it sucks), and complicates the build process. Kill it.
It seems much more promising to have something like this:
https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapoursynth/issues/386
This would either solve the build distribution problem by relaxing the
Python dependency, and/or allow a Lua backend to be included without
pain.
This means vf_vapoursynth doesn't need a hack to work around the filter
code, and libavfilter filters now actually get the frame_rate field on
input pads set.
The libavfilter doxygen says the frame_rate field is only to be set if
the frame rate is known to be constant, and uses the word "must" (which
probably means they really mean it?) - but ffmpeg.c sets the field to
mere guesses anyway, and it looks like this normally won't lead to
problems.
In theory (and practice), this is not needed, because the VS filter get
frame callback will cause the process function to be called again if
there's not enough data. But it's still a bit weird to just add one more
frame on each iteration, so make it cleaner and make it request frames
until the input array is full.
This was obviously nonsense, and a previous "fix" to this code was
nonsense too. What is really needed here is temporarily dropping the
lock while calling destroy_vs()/reinit_vs().
Fixes#5470.
Unknown frames were not freed properly. Although this doesn't really
happen anyway, because we're never going to feed audio frames to a video
filter chain. Since it's theoretically possible, and all other filters
handle this consistently, fix it anyway.
Properly initialize the output frame parameters other than image format
and size. This includes colorspace hints. (We're still not reading them
back from VapourSynth if it sets them, though. Usually it doesn't
anyway.)
VapourSynth can't pass through timestamps, only frame durations. So we
need to remember the timestamp of the very first frame passed to it.
This was accidentally set to 0 instead of NOPTS on init, so inserting
the filter during playback could show strange behavior.
Might be part of #5470.
Get rid of the old vf.c code. Replace it with a generic filtering
framework, which can potentially handle more than just --vf. At least
reimplementing --af with this code is planned.
This changes some --vf semantics (including runtime behavior and the
"vf" command). The most important ones are listed in interface-changes.
vf_convert.c is renamed to f_swscale.c. It is now an internal filter
that can not be inserted by the user manually.
f_lavfi.c is a refactor of player/lavfi.c. The latter will be removed
once --lavfi-complex is reimplemented on top of f_lavfi.c. (which is
conceptually easy, but a big mess due to the data flow changes).
The existing filters are all changed heavily. The data flow of the new
filter framework is different. Especially EOF handling changes - EOF is
now a "frame" rather than a state, and must be passed through exactly
once.
Another major thing is that all filters must support dynamic format
changes. The filter reconfig() function goes away. (This sounds complex,
but since all filters need to handle EOF draining anyway, they can use
the same code, and it removes the mess with reconfig() having to predict
the output format, which completely breaks with libavfilter anyway.)
In addition, there is no automatic format negotiation or conversion.
libavfilter's primitive and insufficient API simply doesn't allow us to
do this in a reasonable way. Instead, filters can use f_autoconvert as
sub-filter, and tell it which formats they support. This filter will in
turn add actual conversion filters, such as f_swscale, to perform
necessary format changes.
vf_vapoursynth.c uses the same basic principle of operation as before,
but with worryingly different details in data flow. Still appears to
work.
The hardware deint filters (vf_vavpp.c, vf_d3d11vpp.c, vf_vdpaupp.c) are
heavily changed. Fortunately, they all used refqueue.c, which is for
sharing the data flow logic (especially for managing future/past
surfaces and such). It turns out it can be used to factor out most of
the data flow. Some of these filters accepted software input. Instead of
having ad-hoc upload code in each filter, surface upload is now
delegated to f_autoconvert, which can use f_hwupload to perform this.
Exporting VO capabilities is still a big mess (mp_stream_info stuff).
The D3D11 code drops the redundant image formats, and all code uses the
hw_subfmt (sw_format in FFmpeg) instead. Although that too seems to be a
big mess for now.
f_async_queue is unused.
I've decided that MP_TRACE means “noisy spam per frame”, whereas
MP_DBG just means “more verbose debugging messages than MSGL_V”.
Basically, MSGL_DBG shouldn't create spam per frame like it currently
does, and MSGL_V should make sense to the end-user and provide mostly
additional informational output.
MP_DBG is basically what I want to make the new default for --log-file,
so the cut-off point for MP_DBG is if we probably want to know if for
debugging purposes but the user most likely doesn't care about on the
terminal.
Also, the debug callbacks for libass and ffmpeg got bumped in their
verbosity levels slightly, because being external components they're a
bit less relevant to mpv debugging, and a bit too over-eager in what
they consider to be relevant information.
I exclusively used the "try it on my machine and remove messages from
MSGL_* until it does what I want it to" approach of refactoring, so
YMMV.
For vo_opengl and vo_direct3d, these are supported in a generic way.
For vf_vapoursynth, we could probably map its VSFormat struct in a
generic way, but for now do some bullshit.
vf_eq.c actually loses support for these formats. We could add generic
support too (anything that has 8 bit planes will work), but why bother.
The filter is deprecated anyway.
This has two reasons:
1. I tend to add new fields to this metadata, and every time I've done
so I've consistently forgotten to update all of the dozens of places in
which this colorimetry metadata might end up getting used. While most
usages don't really care about most of the metadata, sometimes the
intend was simply to “copy” the colorimetry metadata from one struct to
another. With this being inside a substruct, those lines of code can now
simply read a.color = b.color without having to care about added or
removed fields.
2. It makes the type definitions nicer for upcoming refactors.
In going through all of the usages, I also expanded a few where I felt
that omitting the “young” fields was a bug.
MPlayer traditionally always used the display aspect ratio, e.g. 16:9,
while FFmpeg uses the sample (aka pixel) aspect ratio.
Both have a bunch of advantages and disadvantages. Actually, it seems
using sample aspect ratio is generally nicer. The main reason for the
change is making mpv closer to how FFmpeg works in order to make life
easier. It's also nice that everything uses integer fractions instead
of floats now (except --video-aspect option/property).
Note that there is at least 1 user-visible change: vf_dsize now does
not set the display size, only the display aspect ratio. This is
because the image_params d_w/d_h fields did not just set the display
aspect, but also the size (except in encoding mode).
This was requested by someone.
All code was written by myself; some minor changes by 2 contributors who
agreed to general LGPL relicensing. 1 line of code is by someone unknown
who possibly wasn't asked (setting the "display_fps" variable), and
which can be reasonably ignored as it makes up only 0.1% of the file.
Vapoursynth made an incompatible API change: clips with unknown length
are not supported anymore. In fact, Vapoursynth abort()s the program
(which by the way invalidate all of its claims of API/ABI stability).
So add some nonsense to make it work again.
Handling this perfectly with VapourSynth is probably not possible: you
either need to tell it the total number of input frames in advance, or
deliver an infinite stream. With playback, EOF can happen at an
unpredictable point, for which the VapourSynth API has no mechanism at
all. We handle EOF by returning an error to the filter, which will the
filter return all pending frame callbacks.
We still can try to handle it approximately: if the filter requests a
frame past EOF, then send it an error. This seems to work relatively
well with filters which don't request future frames.
And remove all uses of the VFCAP_CSP_SUPPORTED* constants. This is
supposed to reduce conversions if many filters are used (with many
incompatible pixel formats), and also for preferring the VO's natively
supported pixel formats (as opposed to conversion).
This is worthless by now. Not only do the main VOs not use software
conversion, but also the way vf_lavfi and libavfilter work mostly break
the way the old MPlayer mechanism worked. Other important filters like
vf_vapoursynth do not support "proper" format negotation either.
Part of this was already removed with the vf_scale cleanup from today.
While I'm touching every single VO, also fix the query_format argument
(it's not a FourCC anymore).
This adds an "auto" choice to the concurrent-frames suboption, and makes
it the default.
I'm not so sure about making this the default, though. It could lead to
excessive buffering with large CPU counts. But we'll see.
This is basically a hack; but apparently a needed one, since many
vapoursynth filters insist on having a FPS set.
We need to apply the FPS override before creating the filters. Also
change some terminal output related to the FPS value.
Most of this is explained in the code comments. This change should
improve performance with vapoursynth, especially if concurrent requests
are used.
This should change nothing if vf_vapoursynth is not in the filter chain,
since non-threaded filters obviously can not asynchronously finish
filtering of frames.
In theory, vsscript should be doing it, but it's not there yet, neither
did there seem to be any interest in making it flexible enough to handle
more than 1 scripting language.
Some VS filters will requests frames from their parent filters while
they're initialized. Thy do this in a blocking manner, and
initialization will not succeed until the frame request is satisfied.
This deadlocked mpv, because we can feed frames to the filter only after
initialization is finished.
Return an error instead of deadlocking.
Note that we (probably) can handle frames being requested during init
fine, as long as the requests don't block initialization. But we can
distinguish this situation, and a simple test seems to indicate VS
usually doesn't do this.
See #1168.
