vo_x11 and vo_xv need this. According to the Linux manpage, all involved
functions are POSIX-2001 anyway. (I just assumed they were not, because
they're mostly System V UNIX legacy garbage.)
Looks like this is covered by LGPL relicensing agreements now.
Notes about contributors who could not be reached or who didn't agree:
Commit 7fccb6486e has tons of mp_msg changes look like they are not
copyrightable (even if they were, all mp_msg calls were rewritten in
mpv times again). The additional play() change looks suspicious, but
the function was rewritten several times anyway (first time after that
commit in 4f40ec312).
Commit 89ed1748ae was rewritten in commit 325311af3 and then again
several times after that. Basically all this code is unnecessary in
modern mpv and has been removed.
No code survived from the following commits: 4d31c3c53, 61ecf838f2,
d38968bd, 4deb67c3f. At least two cosmetic typo fixes are not
considered as well.
Commit 22bb046ad is reverted (this wasn't a valid warning anyway, just
a C++-ism icc applied to C). Using the constants is nicer, but at least
I don't have to decide whether that change was copyrightable.
The shader cache in ra_d3d11 caches the result of shaderc, crossc and
the D3DCompiler DLL, so it should be invalidated when any of those
components are updated. This should make the cache more reliable, which
makes it safer to enable gpu-shader-cache-dir. Shader compilation is
slow with D3D11, so gpu-shader-cache-dir is highly necessary
This is a new RA/vo_gpu backend that uses Direct3D 11. The GLSL
generated by vo_gpu is cross-compiled to HLSL with SPIRV-Cross.
What works:
- All of mpv's internal shaders should work, including compute shaders.
- Some external shaders have been tested and work, including RAVU and
adaptive-sharpen.
- Non-dumb mode works, even on very old hardware. Most features work at
feature level 9_3 and all features work at feature level 10_0. Some
features also work at feature level 9_1 and 9_2, but without high-bit-
depth FBOs, it's not very useful. (Hardware this old is probably not
fast enough for advanced features anyway.)
Note: This is more compatible than ANGLE, which requires 9_3 to work
at all (GLES 2.0,) and 10_1 for non-dumb-mode (GLES 3.0.)
- Hardware decoding with D3D11VA, including decoding of 10-bit formats
without truncation to 8-bit.
What doesn't work / can be improved:
- PBO upload and direct rendering does not work yet. Direct rendering
requires persistent-mapped PBOs because the decoder needs to be able
to read data from images that have already been decoded and uploaded.
Unfortunately, it seems like persistent-mapped PBOs are fundamentally
incompatible with D3D11, which requires all resources to use driver-
managed memory and requires memory to be unmapped (and hence pointers
to be invalidated) when a resource is used in a draw or copy
operation.
However it might be possible to use D3D11's limited multithreading
capabilities to emulate some features of PBOs, like asynchronous
texture uploading.
- The blit() and clear() operations don't have equivalents in the D3D11
API that handle all cases, so in most cases, they have to be emulated
with a shader. This is currently done inside ra_d3d11, but ideally it
would be done in generic code, so it can take advantage of mpv's
shader generation utilities.
- SPIRV-Cross is used through a NIH C-compatible wrapper library, since
it does not expose a C interface itself.
The library is available here: https://github.com/rossy/crossc
- The D3D11 context could be made to support more modern DXGI features
in future. For example, it should be possible to add support for
high-bit-depth and HDR output with DXGI 1.5/1.6.
Apparently some people want this. Actually making it compile is still
their problem, though, and I expect that build with FFmpeg upstream will
occasionally be broken (as it is right now). This is because mpv also
relies on API provided by Libav, and if FFmpeg hasn't merged that yet,
it's not our problem - we provide a version of FFmpeg upstream with
those changes merged, and it's called ffmpeg-mpv.
Also adjust the README which still talked about FFmpeg releases.
This is required now. Can't have FFmpeg upstream randomly break us and
then not fix it (like this recent EOF issue).
Upstream FFmpeg is of course still supported, but you will need to edit
the build scripts. Official support is only with the master branch of
our own repo.
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.)
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.
Rename --enable-preliminary-lgpl2 to --enable-gpl. This concludes the
relicensing. Some things are still to do (relicensing some still-GPL
optional code), but we consider the code included by --enable-gpl to be
fully relicensed.
The relicensing was performed by asking every known author for
permission for relicensing it to LGPL version 2.1 "or later". If an
author could not be contacted or permission could not be obtained, and
the contribution was considered relevant for copyright purposes, the
affected code was either excluded from LGPL mode (not built), or removed
or rewritten. This is the standard in open source relicensing processes.
Keep in mind that using LGPL mode is still on the user's own risk. Even
though I claim that the relicensing was pretty clean and thorough
(measured on the standards of the open source community¹), and I
followed the advice of some actual experts, there is still a residual
uncertainty due to the fact that I'm not an all-knowing entity (authors
could have taken someone else's code and pretend it's their own) nor a
lawyer (meaning I might lack associated authority or expertise), and the
fact that the judicial system is far from deterministic. The relicensing
was performed merely to the best of my knowledge. I reject all
responsibility outside of that.
This commit also cleans up the "Copyright" file to reflect the finalized
relicensing process.
¹ Not to imply that the standards of commercial companies are much
higher. Some major tech companies get away with stuff I would not
consider clean.
See #2033.
At the moment, rendering on Android requires ``--vo=opengl-cb`` and
a lot of java<->c++ bridging code to receive the receive and react to
the render callback in java. Performance also suffers with opengl-cb,
due to the overhead of context switching in JNI.
With this patch, Android can render using ``--vo=gpu --gpu-context=android``
(after setting ``--wid`` to point to an android.view.Surface on-screen).
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.
The wayland code was written more than 4 years ago when wayland wasn't
even at version 1.0. This commit rewrites everything in a more modern way,
switches to using the new xdg v6 shell interface which solves a lot of bugs
and makes mpv tiling-friedly, adds support for drag and drop, adds support
for touchscreens, adds support for KDE's server decorations protocol,
and finally adds support for the new idle-inhibitor protocol.
It does not yet use the frame callback as a main rendering loop driver,
this will happen with a later commit.
Originally mpv vaapi support was based on the MPlayer-vaapi patches.
These were never merged in upstream MPlayer. The license headers
indicated they were GPL-only. Although the actual author agreed to
relicensing, the company employing him to write this code did not, so
the original code is unusable to us.
Fortunately, vaapi support was refactored and rewritten several times,
meaning little code is actually left. The previous commits removed or
moved that to GPL-only code. Namely, vo_vaapi.c remains GPL-only. The
other code went away or became unnecessary mainly because libavcodec
itself gained the ability to manage the hw decoder, and libavutil
provides code to manage vaapi surfaces. We also changed to mainly using
EGL interop, making any of the old rendering code unnecessary.
hwdec_vaglx.c is still GPL. It's possibly relicensable, because much of
it was changed, but I'm not too sure and further investigation would be
required. Also, this has been disabled by default for a while now, so
bothering with this is a waste of time. This commit simply disables it
at compile time as well in LGPL mode.
Now you need FFmpeg git, or something.
This also gets rid of the last real use of gpu_memcpy(). libavutil does
that itself. (vaapi.c still used it, but it was essentially unused,
because the code path isn't really in use anymore. It wasn't even
included due to the d3d-hwaccel dependency in wscript.)
In addition to the built-in nvidia compiler, we now also support a
backend based on libshaderc. shaderc is sort of like glslang except it
has a C API and is available as a dynamic library.
The generated SPIR-V is now cached alongside the VkPipeline in the
cached_program. We use a special cache header to ensure validity of this
cache before passing it blindly to the vulkan implementation, since
passing invalid SPIR-V can cause all sorts of nasty things. It's also
designed to self-invalidate if the compiler gets better, by offering a
catch-all `int compiler_version` that implementations can use as a cache
invalidation marker.
This time based on ra/vo_gpu. 2017 is the year of the vulkan desktop!
Current problems / limitations / improvement opportunities:
1. The swapchain/flipping code violates the vulkan spec, by assuming
that the presentation queue will be bounded (in cases where rendering
is significantly faster than vsync). But apparently, there's simply
no better way to do this right now, to the point where even the
stupid cube.c examples from LunarG etc. do it wrong.
(cf. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/issues/370)
2. The memory allocator could be improved. (This is a universal
constant)
3. Could explore using push descriptors instead of descriptor sets,
especially since we expect to switch descriptors semi-often for some
passes (like interpolation). Probably won't make a difference, but
the synchronization overhead might be a factor. Who knows.
4. Parallelism across frames / async transfer is not well-defined, we
either need to use a better semaphore / command buffer strategy or a
resource pooling layer to safely handle cross-frame parallelism.
(That said, I gave resource pooling a try and was not happy with the
result at all - so I'm still exploring the semaphore strategy)
5. We aggressively use pipeline barriers where events would offer a much
more fine-grained synchronization mechanism. As a result of this, we
might be suffering from GPU bubbles due to too-short dependencies on
objects. (That said, I'm also exploring the use of semaphores as a an
ordering tactic which would allow cross-frame time slicing in theory)
Some minor changes to the vo_gpu and infrastructure, but nothing
consequential.
NOTE: For safety, all use of asynchronous commands / multiple command
pools is currently disabled completely. There are some left-over relics
of this in the code (e.g. the distinction between dev_poll and
pool_poll), but that is kept in place mostly because this will be
re-extended in the future (vulkan rev 2).
The queue count is also currently capped to 1, because of the lack of
cross-frame semaphores means we need the implicit synchronization from
the same-queue semantics to guarantee a correct result.
This is done in several steps:
1. refactor MPGLContext -> struct ra_ctx
2. move GL-specific stuff in vo_opengl into opengl/context.c
3. generalize context creation to support other APIs, and add --gpu-api
4. rename all of the --opengl- options that are no longer opengl-specific
5. move all of the stuff from opengl/* that isn't GL-specific into gpu/
(note: opengl/gl_utils.h became opengl/utils.h)
6. rename vo_opengl to vo_gpu
7. to handle window screenshots, the short-term approach was to just add
it to ra_swchain_fns. Long term (and for vulkan) this has to be moved to
ra itself (and vo_gpu altered to compensate), but this was a stop-gap
measure to prevent this commit from getting too big
8. move ra->fns->flush to ra_gl_ctx instead
9. some other minor changes that I've probably already forgotten
Note: This is one half of a major refactor, the other half of which is
provided by rossy's following commit. This commit enables support for
all linux platforms, while his version enables support for all non-linux
platforms.
Note 2: vo_opengl_cb.c also re-uses ra_gl_ctx so it benefits from the
--opengl- options like --opengl-early-flush, --opengl-finish etc. Should
be a strict superset of the old functionality.
Disclaimer: Since I have no way of compiling mpv on all platforms, some
of these ports were done blindly. Specifically, the blind ports included
context_mali_fbdev.c and context_rpi.c. Since they're both based on
egl_helpers, the port should have gone smoothly without any major
changes required. But if somebody complains about a compile error on
those platforms (assuming anybody actually uses them), you know where to
complain.
See "Copyright" file for caveats.
This changes the remaining "almost LGPL" files to LGPL, because we think
that the conditions the author set for these was finally fulfilled.
This code could not be relicensed. The intention was to write new filter
code (which could handle both audio and video), but that's a bit of
work. Write some code that can do audio conversion (resampling,
downmixing, etc.) without the old audio filter chain code in order to
speed up the LGPL relicensing.
If you build with --disable-libaf, nothing in audio/filter/* is compiled
in. It breaks a few features, such as --volume, --af, pitch correction
on speed changes, replaygain.
Most likely this adds some bugs, even if --disable-libaf is not used.
(How the fuck does EOF notification work again anyway?)
Instead of "deps", "deps_neg", and "deps_any" fields, just have a single
"deps" field, which changes from an array to a string. The string is now
an expression, which can contain the operators &&, ||, !, and allows
grouping with ( ).
It's probably overkill. If it gets a maintenance burden, we can switch
to specifiying the dep expressions as ASTs (or maybe eval()-able Python
expressions), and we could simplify the code that determines the reason
why a dependency is not fulfilled. The latter involves a complicated
conversion of the expression AST to DNF.
The parser is actually pretty simple, and pretty much follows:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunting_yard_algorithm
The first one (line 140) comes from 69650851f8 and is the correct one.
The second one (line 731) comes from 72a8120daa and slipped in with the
revert commit.
Remove the second one.
This adds handling of spherical video metadata: retrieving it from
demux_lavf and demux_mkv, passing it through filters, and adjusting it
with vf_format. This does not include support for rendering this type of
video.
We don't expect we need/want to support the other projection types like
cube maps, so we don't include that for now. They can be added later as
needed.
Also raise the maximum sizes of stringified image params, since they
can get really long.
This broke screensaver/powersave inhibition with at least KDE and
LXDE. This is a release blocker.
Since fdo, KDE and GNOME idiots seem to be unable to reach
a consensus on a simple protocol, this seems unlikely to get
fixed upstream this year, so revert this change.
Fixes#4752.
Breaks #4706 but I don’t give a damn.
This reverts commit 3f75b3c343.
This reverts commit ea40fa36ee.
This caused strange runtime failure on Raspbian (when running mpv,
vc_dispmanx_display_open() returned 0, while other dispmanx using
programs were fine). The problem must have been something about the
compiler flags, maybe linking order or set of include paths.
It's an ancient X11 protocol extension that apparently nobody uses
anymore (desktop environments in particular have replaced it with
equally bad protocols that require tons of dependencies). Users keep
complaining about it being a required dependency.
The impact is likely minimal to none.
Fixes#4706 and other annoying people.
* If we have glob() supported, we have `HAVE_GLOB = 1'.
* If we have specifically POSIX glob(), we have
`HAVE_GLOB_POSIX = 1`.
* If we have specifically Win32 glob(), we have
`HAVE_GLOB_WIN32 = 1`
Additionally change the description to better match what Android is,
which is an "environment". The original positioning of this check
was unfortunate.
Since these need to be refcounted, we throw them directly into struct
mp_image instead of being part of mp_colorspace. Even though they would
semantically make more sense in mp_colorspace, having them there is
really awkward because mp_colorspace is passed around and stored a lot,
and this way their lifetime is exactly tied to the lifetime of the
mp_image associated with it.
This partially reverts the change from a longer time ago to always build
DXVA2 and D3D11VA together.
To make it simpler, we change the following:
- building with ANGLE headers is now required to build D3D hwaccels
- if DXVA2 is enabled, D3D11VA is still forcibly built
- the CLI vo_opengl ANGLE backend is now under --egl-angle-win32
This is done to reduce the dependency mess slightly.
In a bunch of cases, we emulate highly platform specific APIs on a
higher level across all OSes, such as IPC, terminal, subprocess
handling, and more. We have source files for each OS, and they implement
all the same mpv internal API.
Selecting which source file to use on an OS can be tricky, because there
is partially overlapping and emulated APIs (consider Cygwin on Windows).
Add a pick_first_matching_dep() function to make this slightly easier
and more structured.
Also add dummy backends in some cases, to deal with APIs not being
available.
Clarify the Windows dependency identifiers, as these are the most
confusing.
Most of the DVB test fragment was added in 2e399f39 by someone who
wasn't asked for LGPL relicensing permission. Thus remove it. (For some
weird reason, the configure check wasn't even for the later added actual
DVB code.)
Since DVB is disabled by default, this isn't too bad. But if someone
enables it, and the system doesn't support it, he will receive a weird
compilation error. That has to be good enough, until maybe someone adds
a new check.
This reverts commit 2e81698d28.
Seems like this was a patch applied from someone who can't agree to LGPL
relicensing (see previous commit), with the author field not properly
set.
This is not so important anyway, so just revert it.
The user bugmen0t was apparently a shared github account with publicly
available login. Thus, we can't get LGPL relicensing permission from the
people who used this account. To relicense successfully, we have to
remove all their changes.
This commit should remove 20d1fc13, f26fb009, defbe48d. It also should
remove whatever test fragments were copied from the ancient configure,
as well as some configure logic (potentially that device path stuff).
I think this change still preserves the most important use-cases of OSS:
BSDs, and the Linux OSS emulation (the latter for testing only).
According to an OSS user, the 4front checks were probably broken anyway.
The SunAudio stuff was probably for (Open)Solaris, which is dead.
ao_oss.c itself will remain GPL, and still contains bugmen0t changes.
MaxCLL is the more authoritative source for the metadata we are
interested in. The use of mastering metadata is sort of a hack anyway,
since there's no clearly-defined relationship between the mastering peak
brightness and the actual content. (Unlike MaxCLL, which is an explicit
relationship)
Also move the parameter fixing to `fix_image_params`
I don't know if the avutil check is strictly necessary but I've included
it anyway to be on the safe side.
It was an attempt to move some MPlayer filters (which were removed from
mpv) to external, loadable filters. That worked well, but then the
MPlayer filters were ported to libavfilter (independently), so they're
available again. Also there is a more widely supported and more advanced
loadable filter system supported by mpv: vapoursynth.
In conclusion, vf_dlopen is not useful anymore, confusing, and requires
quite a bit of code (and probably wouldn't survive the rewrite of the
mpv video filter chain, which has to come at some point). It has some
implicit dependencies on internal conventions, like possibly the format
names dropped in the previous commit.
We also deprecated it last release. Drop it.
Implements JS with almost identical API to the Lua support.
Key differences from Lua:
- The global mp, mp.msg and mp.utils are always available.
- Instead of returning x, error, return x and expose mp.last_error().
- Timers are JS standard set/clear Timeout/Interval.
- Supports CommonJS modules/require.
- Added at mp.utils: getenv, read_file, write_file and few more.
- Global print and dump (expand objects) functions.
- mp.options currently not supported.
See DOCS/man/javascript.rst for more details.
Unfortunately quite a mess, in particular due to the need to have some
compatibility with the old API. (The old API will be supported only in
short term.)
There's probably no reason to keep this disabled. The -rdynamic (and the
approach we use) is probably a bit scary, but should not break anything.
Just to be sure I'm hard-disabling this on win32 anyway. We know it
can't work there in its current form.
Fixes#4491.
The new API has literally no advantages (other than that we can drop
mp_vt_download_image and other things later), but it's sort-of uniform
with the other hwaccels.
"--videotoolbox-format=no" is not supported with the new API, because it
doesn't "fit in". Probably could be added later again.
The iOS code change is untested (no way to test).
TLS is a headache. We should avoid it if we can.
The involved mechanism is unfortunately entangled with the unfortunate
libmpv API for returning pointers to host API objects. This has to be
kept until we change the API somehow.
Practically untested out of pure laziness. I'm sure I'll get a bunch of
reports if it's broken.
It fails building with some older kernel headers, and the current test
does not auto-disable it in these cases.
Since DVB isn't going to be used by many people, I think disabling it by
default is reasonable.
It seems libsmbclient has been GPLv3 for years. Also, it's certainly not
LGPL (unlike some of its support libs like talloc). Thus, mpv built with
Samba support is GPLv3.
Disable it by default, so we don't have to go through the trouble to
indicate the correct license in our output, and we don't trick people
into distributing stuff under the wrong license.
This drops support for the old libavcodec APIs. Now FFmpeg 3.3 or FFmpeg
git is required. Libav has no release with the new APIs yet, so for
Libav git as of a few weeks or months ago or so is required if you want
to use Libav.
Not much actually changes in hwdec_vaegl.c - some code is removed, but
the reindentation inflates the diff.
Reduces the ifdeffery, which is good and will avoid silent breakages, or
weird behavior if a lib is omitted.
Also reorder the x11_common.c include statements.
This just checks if dvdread or dvdnav are enabled so it can
compile dvdread code.
Change description to be clearer on what this does differently from
--enable-dvdread.
gl_headers.h is basically header_fixes.h done consequently. It contains
all OpenGL defines (and some typedefs) we need. We don't include GL
headers provided by the system anymore.
Some care has to be taken by certain windowing APIs including all of
gl.h anyway. Then the definitions could clash. Fortunately, redefining
preprocessor symbols to the same content is allowed and ignored. Also,
redefining typedefs to the same thing is allowed in C11. Apparently the
latter is not allowed in C99, so there is an imperfect attempt to avoid
the typedefs if required API symbols are apparently present already.
The nost risky part about this are the standard typedefs and GLAPIENTRY.
The latter is different only on win32 (and at least consistently so).
The typedefs are mostly based on stdint.h typedefs, which khrplatform.h
clumsily emulates on platforms which don't have it. The biggest
difference is that we define GLsizeiptr directly to ptrdiff_t, instead
of checking for the _WIN64 symbol and defining it to long or long long.
This also typedefs GLsync to __GLsync, just like the khronos headers.
Although symbols prefixed with __ are implementation reserved, khronos
also violates this rule, and having the same definition as khronos will
avoid problems on duplicate definitions.
We can simplify the build scripts too. The ios-gl check seems a bit
wrong now (what we really want to test for is EAGLContext), but I can't
test and thus can't improve it.
cuda_dynamic.h redefined two GL symbols; just include the new headers
directly instead.
Reallows enabling dvdnav without enabling dvdread which was broken
in 77cbb3543 when they were both disabled by default.
Since dvdnav requires dvdread, we can enable dvdread:// even if
--enable-dvdread isn't passed.
Fixes#4290
The new API works like the new vaapi API, using generic hwaccel support.
One minor detail is the error message that will be printed if using
non-4:2:0 surfaces (which as far as I can tell is completely broken in
the nVidia drivers and thus not supported by mpv). The HEVC warning
(which is completely broken in the nVidia drivers but should work with
Mesa) had to be added to the generic hwaccel code.
This also trashes display preemption recovery. Fuck that. It never
really worked. If someone complains, I might attempt to add it back
somehow.
This is the 4th iteration of the libavcodec vdpau API (after the
separate decoder API, the manual hwaccel API, and the automatic vdpau
hwaccel API). Fortunately, further iterations will be generic, and not
require much vdpau-specific changes (if any at all).
For an unknown reason, '-Wl -export-dynamic' doesn't work anymore
on the last macOS build (10.12.3 with Apple LLVM 8.0.0) so forcing
cplugins is useless because the check fails. Replacing the linker
option with its substitute '-rdynamic' do the trick.
The syms module from waf still works as expected and only the
symbols specified in mpv.def are exported.
Not needed under any circumstances. While the Windows ones export
functions to which we must link, these functions are always available,
even if libavcodec was compiled with D3D disabled.
Using these was a temporary solution while some compilers implemented
the underlying atomic mechanisms, but not the C11 language parts (or
that's what I guess). Not really useful for us anymore. Also, there is
the slight risk of having subtly incorrect semantics by using
potentially changing compiler internals and such.
This replaces the old backend that exclusively used EGL windowing with
one that can also use ANGLE's ability to render to directly to a
texture. The advantage of this is that it allows mpv to create the swap
chain itself and this allows mpv to use a flip-mode swap chain on a HWND
(which avoids problems with DirectComposition) and to use a longer swap
chain that has six backbuffers by default (which reportedly fixes
problems with rendering 24fps video on 24Hz monitors.)
Also, "screenshot window" should now work on DXGI 1.2 and up (Windows 8
and up.)
video/out/opengl/hwdec_cuda.c is enabled with cuda-hwaccel. But it makes
only sense to build if GL is enabled, and in fact it fails to link
without GL as it calls a specific GL helper function.
In theory it would be perfectly possible to use cuda-copy with GL
disabled. But I'm not bothering with the complexity.
Upstream provides pkgconfig files for quite some time now [1,2].
Use them to determine the required flags instead of hard coding.
This makes cross-compilation easy, which I dare to say is important for
many raspberry-pi users. This also prevents picking libEGL and libGLESv2
from mesa when they are present, which can happen with the current code.
Good distros should put these pkgconfig files into default pkg-config
search path or populate PKG_CONFIG_PATH for users. However, be nice to
everybody and manually look into '/opt/vc/lib/pkgconfig' just in case.
Hence the PKG_CONFIG_PATH mangling.
[1]: https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland/issues/245
[2]: 05d60a01d5
In a first pass, we check whether libavcodec is present.
Then we try to compile a snippet and check for FFmpeg vs. Libav. (This
could probably also be done by somehow checking the pkgconfig version.
But pkg-config can't deal with that idiotic FFmpeg idea that a micro
version number >= 100 identifies FFmpeg vs. Libav.)
After that we check the project-specific version numbers. This means it
can no longer happen that we accidentally allow older, unsupported
versions of FFmpeg, just because the Libav version numbers are somehow
this way.
Also drop the resampler checks. We hardcode which resampler to each with
each project. A user can no longer force use of libavresample with
FFmpeg.
The correctness of the stdatomic.h emulation via the __sync builtins is
questionable, and we've been relying on exact stdatomic semantics for a
while, so just get rid of it. Compilers which support __sync but not
stdatomic.h will use to the slow mutex fallback.
Not sure about the __atomic builtins. It doesn't seem to harm either, so
leave it for now.
Not even Libav does. Whoops. The developer who wrote the FFmpeg code for
this said he could not find any improvements when using the "GPU memcpy"
; instead, it made it actually slower on some hardware.
It's not clear to what extent the "GPU memcpy" was needed for vaapi, but
hopefully not very much (see #2317).
This commit enables use of the new vaapi API by default with FFmpeg.
The FFmpeg versions we support all have the APIs we were checking for.
Only Libav missed them. Simplify this by explicitly checking for FFmpeg
in the code, instead of trying to detect the presence of the API.
Since the only way to detect the API is by a version check, this had to
wait until the patches were actually pushed to FFmpeg git (which now
happened).
Since this does not include the new magic GPU memcpy libavutil function
yet, the new vaapi code would be slower if copy mode (like vaapi-copy)
is used. This would be quite bad to use by default, so check for the
function, and if not present, disable the new vaapi code. This
effectively disables it by default on FFmpeg.
(We assume that if the new GPU memcpy exists, vaapi's AVHWFramesContext
implementation will use it.)
libavutil does this for us. Although the new vaapi decode API does not
strictly introduce or even need av_image_copy_uc_from(), it's implied
that it will be present if the new decode API is present - even if it's
not, we can't use our own SSE code with it anyway.
This basically reuses the scripting infrastructure.
Note that this needs to be explicitly enabled at compilation. For one,
enabling export for certain symbols from an executable seems to be quite
toolchain-specific. It might not work outside of Linux and cause random
problems within Linux.
If C plugins actually become commonly used and this approach is starting
to turn out as a problem, we can build mpv CLI as a wrapper for libmpv,
which would remove the requirement that plugins pick up host symbols.
I'm being lazy, so implementation/documentation are parked in existing
files, even if that stuff doesn't necessarily belong there. Sue me, or
better send patches.
The old API is deprecated, and libavcodec prints a warning at runtime.
The new API is a bit nicer and does many things for you, such as
managing the underlying hwaccel decoder. libavutil also provides code
for managing surfaces (we use their surface pool).
The new code does not contain any code from the original MPlayer VAAPI
patch (that was used as base for some of the vaapi code in mpv). Thus
the new code is LGPL.
The new API actually does not add any visible symbols, so the only way
to detect it is a version check. Of course, the versions overlap
between FFmpeg and Libav, which requires additional care. The new
API did not get merged into FFmpeg yet, so there's no check for
FFmpeg.
