Technically, the user could just use --vd-lavc-o with the same result.
But I find it better to make this an explicit option, so we can document
the ups and downs, and also avoid setting it for non-h264.
A release has been made, so drop options deprecated for that release.
Also drop some options which have been deprecated a much longer time
before.
Also fix a typo in client-api-changes.rst.
Libav has been broken due to the hwdec changes. This was always a
temporary situation (depended on pending patches to be merged), although
it took a bit longer. This also restores the travis config.
One code change is needed in vd_lavc.c, because it checks the AV_PIX_FMT
for videotoolbox (as opposed to the mpv format identifier), which is not
available in Libav. Add an ifdef; the affected code is for a deprecated
option anyway.
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.
Annoying exception that makes no sense to keep. Normally, users or
client applications will either use --hwdec=auto, or not set the option
at all, which both leads to the expected result.
For METHOD_INTERNAL hwdecs (non-copy cases), make sure the VO interops
are always loaded, because those decoders will output hardware pixel
formats, which will need special support in vo_gpu. Otherwise,
initialization will fail, complaining that it can't convert the output
format to something the VO supports.
If the codec uses AV_CODEC_HW_CONFIG_METHOD_INTERNAL, and we're using
the -copy method, then don't request the native pix_fmt. It might not
have a AVFrame.hw_frames_ctx set, and we couldn't read back at all. On
top of that, most of those decoders probably don't provide read-back
when using such opaque formats anyway, while providing separate decoding
modes to decode to RAM.
This code is for trying to avoid using an emulation layer when using
auto probing, so that we end up using the actual API the drivers
provide. It was destroyed in the recent refactor.
Otherwise, if e.g. "nvdec" didn't work, but "nvdec-copy" did, it would
never try "vdpau", which is actually the next non-copy mode on the
autprobe list. It's really expected that it selects "vdpau". Fix this by
sorting the -copy modes to the end of the final hwdec list.
But we still don't want preferred -copy modes like "nvdec-copy" to be
sorted after fragile non-preferred modes like "cuda", and --hwdec=auto
should prefer "nvdec-copy" over it, so make sure the copying mode does
not get precedence over preferred vs. non-preferred mode.
Also simplify the existing auto_pos sorting condition, and fix the
fallback sort order (although that doesn't matter too much).
Change it from explicit metadata about every hwaccel method to trying to
get it from libavcodec. As shown by add_all_hwdec_methods(), this is a
quite bumpy road, and a bit worse than expected.
This will probably cause a bunch of regressions. In particular I didn't
check all the strange decoder wrappers, which all cause some sort of
special cases each. You're volunteering for beta testing by using this
commit.
One interesting thing is that we completely get rid of mp_hwdec_ctx in
vd_lavc.c, and that HWDEC_* mostly goes away (some filters still use it,
and the VO hwdec interops still have a lot of code to set it up, so it's
not going away completely for now).
The libavcodec mediacodec support does not conform to the new hwaccel
APIs yet. It has been agreed uppon that this glue code can be deleted
for now, and support for it will be restored at a later point.
Readding would require that it supports the AVCodecContext.hw_device_ctx
API. The hw_device_ctx would then contain the surface ID.
vo_mediacodec_embed would actually perform the task of creating
vo.hwdec_devs and adding a mp_hwdec_ctx, whose av_device_ref is a
AVHWDeviceContext containing the android surface.
Like with all hwaccels, there's little that is actually specific to
decoding (which has been moved away anyway), and what is left are
declarations (which will also go away soon).
Lots of shit code for nothing. We probably could just use libavutil's
code for all of this. But for now go with this, since it tends to
prevent stupid terminal messages during probing (libavutil has no
mechanism to selectively suppress errors specifically during probing).
Ignores the "emulated" API flag (for avoiding vaapi/vdpau wrappers), but
it doesn't matter that much for -copy anyway.
The idea is to get rid of vd_lavc_hwdec, so special functionality like
this has to go somewhere else. At this point, hwframes_refine is only
needed for d3d11, and it doesn't do much, so for now the new callback
has no context. In can be made more fancy if really needed.
Make the VO<->decoder interface capable of supporting multiple hwdec
APIs at once. The main gain is that this simplifies autoprobing a lot.
Before this change, it could happen that the VO loaded the "wrong" hwdec
API, and the decoder was stuck with the choice (breaking hw decoding).
With the change applied, the VO simply loads all available APIs, so
autoprobing trickery is left entirely to the decoder.
In the past, we were quite careful about not accidentally loading the
wrong interop drivers. This was in part to make sure autoprobing works,
but also because libva had this obnoxious bug of dumping garbage to
stderr when using the API. libva was fixed, so this is not a problem
anymore.
The --opengl-hwdec-interop option is changed in various ways (again...),
and renamed to --gpu-hwdec-interop. It does not have much use anymore,
other than debugging. It's notable that the order in the hwdec interop
array ra_hwdec_drivers[] still matters if multiple drivers support the
same image formats, so the option can explicitly force one, if that
should ever be necessary, or more likely, for debugging. One example are
the ra_hwdec_d3d11egl and ra_hwdec_d3d11eglrgb drivers, which both
support d3d11 input.
vo_gpu now always loads the interop lazily by default, but when it does,
it loads them all. vo_opengl_cb now always loads them when the GL
context handle is initialized. I don't expect that this causes any
problems.
It's now possible to do things like changing between vdpau and nvdec
decoding at runtime.
This is also preparation for cleaning up vd_lavc.c hwdec autoprobing.
It's another reason why hwdec_devices_request_all() does not take a
hwdec type anymore.
nvdec aka cuvid aka cuda should work much better than vdpau, and support
newer codecs (such as vp9), and more advanced surface formats (like 10
bit).
This requires moving the d3d hwaccels in the autoprobe order, since on
Windows, d3d decoding should be preferred over nvidia proprietary stuff.
Users of older drivers will need to force --hwdec=vdpau, since it could
happen that the vo_gpu cuda hwdec interop loads (so the vdpau interop is
not loaded), but the hwdec itself doesn't work.
I expect this does not break AMD (which still needs vdpau for vo_gpu
interop, until libva is fixed so it can fully support AMD).
All this code used to be required by the old variants of the libavcodec
hw decoding APIs. Almost all of that is gone, although the mediacodec
API unfortunately still pulls in some old stuff (but not all of it).
(mediacodec build/functionality is untested, but should work.)
All of this was dead code and completely unused.
get_buffer2_hwdec() is the biggest chunk. One unfortunate thing about it
is that, while it was active, it could perform a software fallback much
faster, because it didn't have to wait until a full frame is decoded (it
actually decoded a full frame, but the current code has to decode many
more frames due to the codec delay, because the current code waits until
the API returns a decoded frame.) We should probably restore the latter,
although since it's an optional optimization, and the current behavior
doesn't change with the removal of this code, don't actually do anything
about it.
This is where it should be. It only wasn't because of an old libavcodec
bug, that returned the side data only on every IDR. This required some
sort of caching, which is now dropped. (mp_image wouldn't have been able
to do this kind of caching, because this code is stateless.) We don't
support these old libavcodec versions anymore, which is why this is not
needed anymore.
Also move initialization of rotation/stereo stuff to dec_video.c.
This simply didn't work. Unlike cuda-copy, this is a true hwaccel, and
obviously we need to provide it a device.
Implement this in a relatively generic way, which can probably reused
directly by videotoolbox (not doing this yet because it would require
testing on OSX).
Like with cuda-copy, --cuda-decode-device is ignored. We might be able
to provide a more general way to select devices at some later point.
This is just a dumb consequence of HWDEC_ types somehow being part of
both decoder and VO. Obviously, the VO should only care about supporting
specific hardware surface types or providing specific device types, but
until they are separated, stupid unintuitive mismatches will occur.
See manpage additions.
(In ffmpeg-mpv and Libav, this is still called "cuvid". Libav won't work
yet, because it has no frame params support yet, but this could get
fixed soon.)
This removes the need for codec- and API-specific knowledge in the
libavcodec hardware acceleration API user. For mpv, this removes the
need for vd_lavc_hwdec.pixfmt_map and a few other things. (For now, we
still keep the "old" parts for the sake of supporting older Libav, and
FFgarbage.)
Should speed up seeks.
(Unfortunately it's useless for backstepping. Backstepping is like
precise seeking, except we're unable to drop frames, as we can't know
the previous frame if we drop it.)
This commit allows to use the AV_PIX_FMT_DRM_PRIME newly introduced
format in ffmpeg that allows decoders to provide an AVDRMFrameDescriptor
struct.
That struct holds dmabuf fds and information allowing zerocopy rendering
using KMS / DRM Atomic.
This has been tested on RockChip ROCK64 device.
The same should happen with any other side data that matters to mpv,
otherwise filters will drop it.
(No, don't try to argue that mpv should use AVFrame. That won't work.)
ffmpeg_garbage() is copy&paste from frame_new_side_data() in FFmpeg
(roughly feed201849b8f91), because it's not public API. The name
reflects my opinion about FFmpeg's API.
In mp_image_to_av_frame(), change the too-fragile
*new_ref = (struct mp_image){0};
into explicitly zeroing out the fields that are "transferred" to the
created AVFrame.
Mostly an obscure option for testing. But --videotoolbox-format can be
deprecated, as it becomes redundant.
We rely on the libavutil hwcontext implementation to reject invalid
pixfmts, or not to blow up if they are incompatible.
iive agreed to relicense things that are still in mpv to LGPLv2.1. So
change the licenses of the affected files, and rename the configure
switch for LGPL mode to --enable-preliminary-lgpl2.
(The "preliminary" part will probably be removed from the configure
switch soon as well.)
Also player/main.c hasn't had GPL parts since a few commits ago.
