A bit different from the OPT_REPLACED/OPT_REMOVED ones in that the
options still possibly do something but they have a deprecation
message. Most of these are old and have no real usage. The only
potentially controversial ones are the removal of --oaffset and
--ovoffset which were deprecated years ago and seemingly have no real
replacement. There's a cryptic message about --audio-delay but who
knows. The less encoding mode code we have, the better so just chuck
it.
Until recently, ao_lavc and vo_lavc started encoding whenever the core
happened to send them data. Since audio and video are not initialized at
the same time, and the muxer was not necessarily opened when the first
encoder started to produce data, the resulting packets were put into a
queue. As soon as the muxer was opened, the queue was flushed.
Change this to make the core wait with sending data until all encoders
are initialized. This has the advantage that we don't need to queue up
the packets.
The user won't want to have those in the video (I think). The core can
sporadically issue redraws, which is what you want for actual playback,
but not in encode mode. vo_lavc can explicitly detect those and skip
them. It only requires switching to a more advanced internal VO API.
The comments in vo.h are because vo_lavc draws to one of the images in
order to render OSD. This is OK, but might come as a surprise to whoever
calls draw_frame, so document it. (Current callers are OK with it.)
This was supposed to be a replacement for encode_lavc_discontinuity()
(so we don't need to store last_video_in_pts in a way which requires
synchronization). Unfortunately, VOCTRL_RESET is also called before
termination, and even though it shouldn't matter as far as the VO API is
concerned, it does. It's because vo_lavc.c buffers a frame to compute
the frame duration.
Drop this code. The consequence is that it appears to encode 2 frames
with the same PTS if multiple files are encoded into one. Before this,
it merely dropped a frame (maybe the first of every subsequent file, not
sure).
The main change is that we wait with opening the muxer ("writing
headers") until we have data from all streams. This fixes race
conditions at init due to broken assumptions in the old code.
This also changes a lot of other stuff. I found and fixed a few API
violations (often things for which better mechanisms were invented, and
the old ones are not valid anymore). I try to get away from the public
mutex and shared fields in encode_lavc_context. For now it's still
needed for some timestamp-related fields, but most are gone. It also
removes some bad code duplication between audio and video paths.
For some reason vo_lavc's draw_image can buffer the frame and encode it
only later. Also, there is logic for rendering the OSD (i.e. subtitles)
only when needed.
In theory this can lead to subtitles being pruned before it tries to
render them (as the subtitle logic doesn't know that the VO still needs
them later), although this probably never happens in reality.
The worse issue, that actually happened, is that if the last frame gets
buffered, it attempts to render subtitles in the uninit callback. At
this point, the subtitle decoder is already torn down and all subtitles
removed, thus it will draw nothing. This didn't always happen. I'm not
sure why - potentially in the working cases, the frame wasn't buffered.
Since this logic doesn't have much worth, except a minor performance
advantage if frames with subtitles are dropped, just remove it.
Hopefully fixes#4689.
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.
As of ffmpeg git master, only the libavdevice decklink wrapper supports
this. Everything else has dropped support.
You're now supposed to use AV_CODEC_ID_WRAPPED_AVFRAME, which works a
bit differently. Normal AVFrames should still work for these encoders.
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 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.
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).
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).
When initialization failed, vo_lavc may cause an irrecoverable state in
the ffmpeg-related structs. Therefore, we reject additional
initialization attempts at least until we know a better way to clean up
the mess.
ao_lavc currently cannot be initialized more than once, yet it's good to
do consistent changes there as well.
Also, clean up uninit-after-failure handling to be less spammy.
vo_vdpau uses its own framedrop code, mostly for historic reasons. It
has some tricky heuristics, of which I'm not sure how they work, or if
they have any effect at all, but in any case, I want to keep this code
for now. One day it might get fully ported to the vo.c framedrop code,
or just removed.
But improve its interaction with the user-visible framedrop controls.
Make --framedrop actually enable and disable the vo_vdpau framedrop
code, and increment the number of dropped frames correctly.
The code path for other VOs should be equivalent. The vo_vdpau behavior
should, except for the improvements mentioned above, be mostly
equivalent as well. One minor change is that frames "shown" during
preemption are always count as dropped.
Remove the statement from the manpage that vo_vdpau is the default; this
hasn't been the case for a while.
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
The VO is run inside its own thread. It also does most of video timing.
The playloop hands the image data and a realtime timestamp to the VO,
and the VO does the rest.
In particular, this allows the playloop to do other things, instead of
blocking for video redraw. But if anything accesses the VO during video
timing, it will block.
This also fixes vo_sdl.c event handling; but that is only a side-effect,
since reimplementing the broken way would require more effort.
Also drop --softsleep. In theory, this option helps if the kernel's
sleeping mechanism is too inaccurate for video timing. In practice, I
haven't ever encountered a situation where it helps, and it just burns
CPU cycles. On the other hand it's probably actively harmful, because
it prevents the libavcodec decoder threads from doing real work.
Side note:
Originally, I intended that multiple frames can be queued to the VO. But
this is not done, due to problems with OSD and other certain features.
OSD in particular is simply designed in a way that it can be neither
timed nor copied, so you do have to render it into the video frame
before you can draw the next frame. (Subtitles have no such restriction.
sd_lavc was even updated to fix this.) It seems the right solution to
queuing multiple VO frames is rendering on VO-backed framebuffers, like
vo_vdpau.c does. This requires VO driver support, and is out of scope
of this commit.
As consequence, the VO has a queue size of 1. The existing video queue
is just needed to compute frame duration, and will be moved out in the
next commit.
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.

Let the VOs draw the OSD on their own, instead of making OSD drawing a
separate VO driver call. Further, let it be the VOs responsibility to
request subtitles with the correct PTS. We also basically allow the VO
to request OSD/subtitles at any time.
OSX changes untested.
The stats were retrieved and written on every encode call, instead of
every encode call that actually returned a packet. ffmpeg.c also does it
this way, so it must be "more correct". Fixes 2-pass encoding.
Reduce most dependencies on struct mp_csp_details, which was a bad first
attempt at dealing with colorspace stuff. Instead, consistently use
mp_image_params.
Code which retrieves colorspace matrices from csputils.c still uses this
type, though.
Since the AO will run in a thread, and there's lots of shared state with
encoding, we have to add locking.
One case this doesn't handle correctly are the encode_lavc_available()
calls in ao_lavc.c and vo_lavc.c. They don't do much (and usually only
to protect against doing --ao=lavc with normal playback), and changing
it would be a bit messy. So just leave them.
The main difference between the old and new callbacks is that the old
callbacks required passing the window size, which is and always was very
inconvenient and confusing, since the window size is already in
vo->dwidth and vo->dheight.
vo->aspdat is basically an outdated version of vo->params, plus some
weirdness. Get rid of it, which will allow further cleanups and which
will make multithreading easier (less state to care about).
Also, simplify some VO code by using mp_image_set_attributes() instead
of caring about display size, colorspace, etc. manually. Add the
function osd_res_from_image_params(), which is often needed in the case
OSD renders into an image.
Do two things:
1. add locking to struct osd_state
2. make struct osd_state opaque
While 1. is somewhat simple, 2. is quite horrible. Lots of code accesses
lots of osd_state (and osd_object) members. To make sure everything is
accessed synchronously, I prefer making osd_state opaque, even if it
means adding pretty dumb accessors.
All of this is meant to allow running VO in their own threads.
Eventually, VOs will request OSD on their own, which means osd_state
will be accessed from foreign threads.
This removes the messages printed on unknown pixel format messages.
Passing a mp_log to them would be too messy. Actually, this is a good
change, because in the past we often had trouble with these messages
printed too often (causing terminal spam etc.), and printing warnings or
error messages on the caller sides is much cleaner.
vd_lavc.c had a change earlier to print an error message if a decoder
outputs an unsupported pixel format.
Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
PIX_FMT_* -> AV_PIX_FMT_* (except some pixdesc constants)
enum PixelFormat -> enum AVPixelFormat
Losen some version checks in certain newer pixel formats.
av_pix_fmt_descriptors -> av_pix_fmt_desc_get
This removes support for FFmpeg 1.0.x, which is even older than
Libav 9.x. Support for it probably was already broken, and its
libswresample was rejected by our build system anyway because it's
broken.
Mostly untested; it does compile with Libav 9.9.
This is not needed anymore, because we decided that the PAR of the
decoded video matters, and not the PAR of the filtered video that
arrives at the VO.
