This was not intended to be committed in 0e3f893606. It disables
the extra wakeup if working==true. I've convinced myself that the wakeup
was really needed at the time, so no idea how I didn't notice this until
someone pointed it out on the commit diff on github (lol).
The caller of render_frame() re-iterates without waiting if this
function returns true. That's normally meant for DS, where we draw
frames as fast as possible to let the driver perform waiting.
In display-sync mode, the core doesn't need to woken up every vsync, but
only every time a new actual video frame needs to be queued. So don't
wake up if there are still frames to repeat.
In audio-sync mode, the wakeup is simply redundant, since there's a
separate timer (in->wakeup_pts) to control when to queue a new frame. I
think.
This finally brings the required playloop iterations down to almost the
number of video frames. (As originally intended, really.)
Also a fairly risky change.
The wakeup at the end of VO frame rendering seems redundant, because
after rendering almost no state changes. The player core can queue a new
frame once frame rendering begins, and there's a separate wakeup for
this. The only thing that actually changes is in->rendering. The only
thing that seems to depend on it and can trigger a wakeup is the
vo_still_displaying() function. Change it so that it needs an explicit
call to a new API function, so we can avoid wakeups in the common case.
The vo_still_displaying() code is mostly just moved around due to
locking and for avoiding forward declarations.
Also a somewhat risky change (tasty new bugs).
Add an infrastructure for collecting performance-related data, use it in
some places. Add rendering of them to stats.lua.
There were two main goals: minimal impact on the normal code and normal
playback. So all these stats_* function calls either happen only during
initialization, or return immediately if no stats collection is going
on. That's why it does this lazily adding of stats entries etc. (a first
iteration made each stats entry an API thing, instead of just a single
stats_ctx, but I thought that was getting too intrusive in the "normal"
code, even if everything gets worse inside of stats.c).
You could get most of this information from various profilers (including
the extremely primitive --dump-stats thing in mpv), but this makes it
easier to see the most important information at once (at least in
theory), partially because we know best about the context of various
things.
Not very happy with this. It's all pretty primitive and dumb. At this
point I just wanted to get over with it, without necessarily having to
revisit it later, but with having my stupid statistics.
Somehow the code feels terrible. There are a lot of meh decisions in
there that could be better or worse (but mostly could be better), and it
just sucks but it's also trivial and uninteresting and does the job. I
guess I hate programming. It's so tedious and the result is always shit.
Anyway, enjoy.
When frame-stepping with display-sync mode enabled in high framerate
video, the frame was sometimes not redrawn correctly. Only the first OSD
interaction (or something similar) made it visible.
In this case, the core schedules many frames as dropped (because it's
ignorant of pausing/frame-stepping, as in theory the player is _not_
paused during frame-stepping, only at the end of it). There's a race
between the VO rendering the queued frame, and the core calling
vo_set_paused() after it has queued the frame. If the latter happens
first, the existing logic to redraw the previous dropped frame does
things correctly. If the former happens, the frame is not redrawn
automatically, but will be redrawn on the next user input (or if OSD is
enabled, and the pause state change updates it, which leads to an
immediate redraw).
Fix this by never actually dropping a frame in paused mode. The request
by the core to drop it is simply ignored.
Maybe this could be done slightly nicer by updating the pause state with
the VO atomically. Then we wouldn't have the frame drop counter going up
either (it's actually dropped, but then redrawn; but I doubt any user,
or me in a few weeks, would understand this). But I'm not really
interested in polishing this by increasing the complexity of the
frame-step code.
- remove VOCTRL_FULLSCREEN and VOCTRL_GET_FULLSCREEN
- have your own m_config_cache for the fullscreen option
(vo->opts_cache cannot be used because you lose per-option change
notifications, and it'd be a mess anyway)
- use VOCTRL_VO_OPTS_CHANGED to update it
(it's used for convenience)
- when updating it, check for the fullscreen option
(wasn't sure how to do it best; currently, it compares the raw
option pointers, but this could be changed)
- do not send VO_EVENT_FULLSCREEN_STATE on FS change
- instead write the option on FS change
(assign in opt. struct + m_config_cache_write_opt)
The code is very basic:
- only handles gamepads, could be extended for generic joysticks in the
future.
- only has button mappings for controllers natively supported by SDL2.
I heard more can be added through env vars, there's also ways to load
mappings from text files, but I'd rather not go there yet. Common ones
like Dualshock are supported natively.
- analog buttons (TRIGGER and AXIS) are mapped to discrete buttons using an
activation threshold.
- only supports one gamepad at a time. the feature is intented to use
gamepads as evolved remote controls, not play multiplayer games in mpv :)
This syscall avoids the need to guess an unused filename in /dev/shm and
allows seals to be placed on it. We immediately return if no fd got
returned, as there isn’t anything we can do otherwise.
Seals especially allow the compositor to drop the SIGBUS protections,
since the kernel promises the fd won’t ever shrink.
This removes support for any platform but Linux from this vo.
vo_wayland was removed during the wayland rewrite done in 0.28. However,
it is still useful for systems that do not have OpenGL.
The new wayland_common code makes vo_wayland much simpler, and
eliminates many of the issues the previous vo_wayland had.
The externally driven renderloop was originally added for the wayland
context (to make display sync somewhat work), but it has a lot of issues
with mpv's internal structure. A different approach should be used.
This reverts commit a743fef837.
The render API (vo_libmpv) had potential deadlock problems with
MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ADVANCED_CONTROL. This required vd-lavc-dr to be
enabled (the default). I never observed these deadlocks in the wild
(doesn't mean they didn't happen), although I could specifically provoke
them with some code changes.
The problem was mostly about DR (direct rendering, letting the video
decoder write to OpenGL buffer memory). Allocating/freeing a DR image
needs to be done on the OpenGL thread, even though _lots_ of threads are
involved with handling images. Freeing a DR image is a special case that
can happen any time. dr_helper.c does most of the evil magic of
achieving this. Unfortunately, there was a (sort of) circular lock
dependency: freeing an image while certain internal locks are held would
trigger the user's context update callback, which in turn would call
mpv_render_context_update(), which processed all pending free requests,
and then acquire an internal lock - which the caller might not release
until a further DR image could be freed.
"Solve" this by making freeing DR images asynchronous. This is slightly
risky, but actually not much. The DR images will be free'd eventually.
The biggest disadvantage is probably that debugging might get trickier.
Any solution to this problem will probably add images to free to some
sort of queue, and then process it later. I considered making this more
explicit (so there'd be a point where the caller forcibly waits for all
queued items to be free'd), but discarded these ideas as this probably
would only increase complexity.
Another consequence is that freeing DR images on the GL thread is not
synchronous anymore. Instead, it mpv_render_context_update() will do it
with a delay. This seems roundabout, but doesn't actually change
anything, and avoids additional code.
This also fixes that the render API required the render API user to
remain on the same thread, even though this wasn't documented. As such,
it was a bug. OpenGL essentially forces you to do all GL usage on a
single thread, but in theory the API user could for example move the GL
context to another thread.
The API bump is because I think you can't make enough noise about this.
Since we don't backport fixes to old versions, I'm specifically stating
that old versions are broken, and I'm supplying workarounds.
Internally, dr_helper_create() does not use pthread_self() anymore, thus
the vo.c change. I think it's better to make binding to the current
thread as explicit as possible.
Of course it's not sure that this fixes all deadlocks (probably not).
Dear diary,
today I fixed a shitty bug that was all my fault because I made a
horrible mess. (Except it was a horrible mess before I even touched
this shit, but let's not blame others.)
Sometimes, updates to VO option that control video sizing (like panscan)
didn't update the screen correctly. They were delayed until the next
option change or so.
It turns out that if the option update happens at the "same" time as a
VOCTRL, update_opts() doesn't actually notify the vo_driver of the
change. This in turn happened because run_control() called
m_config_cache_update(). The latter function returns true if the options
changed since the last call, and update_opts() also calls it (on the
same config cache) for the same purpose. The update_opts() call, which
is triggered by a third mechanism, comes later, but the cache update
call will return false (as it should). Basically, given the config API,
you can't act differently on multiple update calls and expect it to
work. The skipped handling in update_opts() meant that the notification
required to apply the changed option wasn't run.
Fix this by simply calling update_opts() directly instead. Now there's
only 1 m_config_cache_update() call on this specific instance. Fix the
call in run_reconfig() too, so the previous sentence isn't a lie (but it
probably doesn't make a difference in practice due to certain details).
I'm not sure how I even ran into this sort-of race condition. The VOCTRL
that messed up the option update was VOCTRL_UPDATE_PLAYBACK_STATE, which
happens semi-regularly.
Why this config cache shit and all the other shit? Rediscovering this
crap wasn't pleasant. It's a bunch of hacks that became necessary when
the ancient MPlayer architecture made it hard to move the VO to a
separate thread.
All the VO code typically accesses vo->opts (whose fields all used to be
global variables in MPlayer). The frontend changes these on user input.
Putting locking around all the options would be a nightmare, and keeping
a copy of the options in the thread was much simpler. You need a way to
propagate option changes, notify the thread, and update the local copy
too. And the result of these thoughts was the config cache mechanism.
In this specific case, the relevant cache update call in update_opts()
triggers a VOCTRL_SET_PANSCAN to the VO driver, which isn't related to
its former function anymore. Instead, it causes the VO driver to update
the video sizing/placing options, which the generic VO code can't do.
(Mostly because the VO driver includes the windowing stuff and is
responsible for resizing etc. itself.)
VOCTRLs sent by the frontend are even worse. MPlayer had no real runtime
option change mechanism. Some options were vaguely duplicated by
properties, so you could effectively change those options at runtime.
Each of these options had its own VOCTRL, which still exist today, e.g.
VOCTRL_FULLSCREEN, or VOCTRL_ONTOP. I tried to make all options runtime
changeable, and to unify properties with options. But I couldn't be
bothered with updating all VO drivers to listen to option changes
directly, because that would be pretty tedious. So the property code is
still all there and sends the old VOCTRLs. But of course you need to
sync up the options, which is why the run_control() code did that.
(Unrelated: VO_EVENT_FULLSCREEN_STATE is the worst shithack of them all.
Currently, only the frontend can actually write to options (for awful
reasons), so if the fullscreen state changes due to outside interaction,
the VO driver can't update the corresponding option fields. So the VO
notifies the frontend with said VO_EVENT_, and the frontend then sends
VOCTRL_GET_FULLSCREEN, and updates the global copy of the option with
the value returned by that. I still like to think the situation is not
that bad considering the monstrous effort of converting single-threaded
code that had hundreds of options in global variables to multi-threaded
code with no global variables at all.)
I misunderstood how this extension works. If I understand it correctly
now, it's worse than I thought. They key thing is that the (ust, msc,
sbc) tripple is not for a single swap event. Instead, (ust, msc) run
independently from sbc. Assuming a CFR display/compositor, this means
you can at best know the vsync phase and frequency, but not the exact
time a sbc changed value.
There is GLX_INTEL_swap_event, which might work as expected, but it has
no EGL equivalent (while GLX_OML_sync_control does, in theory).
Redo the context_glx sync code. Now it's either more correct or less
correct. I wanted to add proper skip detection (if a vsync gets skipped
due to rendering taking too long and other problems), but it turned out
to be too complex, so only some unused fields in vo.h are left of it.
The "generic" skip detection has to do.
The vsync_duration field is also unused by vo.c.
Actually this seems to be an improvement. In cases where the flip call
timing is off, but the real driver-level timing apparently still works,
this will not report vsync skips or higher vsync jitter anymore. I could
observe this with screenshots and fullscreen switching. On the other
hand, maybe it just introduces an A/V offset or so.
Why the fuck can't there be a proper API for retrieving these
statistics? I'm not even asking for much.
Use the extension to compute the (hopefully correct) video delay and
vsync phase.
This is very fuzzy, because the latency will suddenly be applied after
some frames have already been shown. This means there _will_ be "jumps"
in the time accounting, which can lead to strange effects at start of
playback (such as making initial "dropped" etc. frames worse). The only
reasonable way to fix this would be running a few dummy frame swaps at
start of playback until the latency is known. The same happens when
unpausing.
This only affects display-sync mode.
Correct function was not confirmed. It only "looks right". I don't have
the equipment to make scientifically correct measurements.
A potentially bad thing is that we trust the timestamps we're receiving.
Out of bounds timestamps could wreak havoc. On the other hand, this will
probably cause the higher level code to panic and just disable DS.
As a further caveat, this makes a bunch of assumptions about UST
timestamps. If there are delayed frames (i.e. we skipped one or more
vsyncs), the latency logic is mostly reset. There is no attempt to make
the vo.c skipped vsync logic to use this. Also, the latency computation
determines a vsync duration, and there's no effort to reconcile or share
the vo.c logic for determining vsync duration.
If anyone happened to build with GL disabled, this could lead to option
changes not always refreshing the screen. Since vo_gpu is always enabled
now (just not necessarily any backend for it), we can drop the #if
completely.
(The way this works is a bit idiotic - the option cache exists only to
grab the change notification, which will trigger a redraw and make
vo_gpu update its own second copy of them. But at least it avoids some
layering issues for now.)
This was always a legacy thing. Remove it by applying an orgy of
mp_get_config_group() calls, and sometimes m_config_cache_alloc() or
mp_read_option_raw().
win32 changes untested.
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.
1. I want to get away from mp_image_params (maybe).
2. For encoding mode, it's convenient to get the nominal_fps, which is
a mp_image field, and not in mp_image_params.
There is some sort-of awkwardness here, because option access needs to
happen in a synchronized manner, and the framedrop flag is not in the VO
option struct. Remove the mp_read_option_raw() call and the awkward
change notification via VO_EVENT_WIN_STATE from command.c, and pass it
through as new vo_frame flag.
Removes the awkward notification through VO_EVENT_WIN_STATE.
Unfortunately, some awkwardness remains in mp_property_display_fps(),
because the property has conflicting semantics with the option.
The purpose of the new API is to make it useable with other APIs than
OpenGL, especially D3D11 and vulkan. In theory it's now possible to
support other vo_gpu backends, as well as backends that don't use the
vo_gpu code at all.
This also aims to get rid of the dumb mpv_get_sub_api() function. The
life cycle of the new mpv_render_context is a bit different from
mpv_opengl_cb_context, and you explicitly create/destroy the new
context, instead of calling init/uninit on an object returned by
mpv_get_sub_api().
In other to make the render API generic, it's annoyingly EGL style, and
requires you to pass in API-specific objects to generic functions. This
is to avoid explicit objects like the internal ra API has, because that
sounds more complicated and annoying for an API that's supposed to never
change.
The opengl_cb API will continue to exist for a bit longer, but
internally there are already a few tradeoffs, like reduced
thread-safety.
Mostly untested. Seems to work fine with mpc-qt.
This should be helpful for the new OSX Cocoa backend, which uses
opengl-cb internally. Since it comes with a behavior change that could
possibly interfere with libmpv/opengl_cb users, we mark it as explicit
API change.
Using the GL renderer for color conversion will make sure screenshots
will use the same conversion as normal video rendering. It can do this
for all types of screenshots.
The logic when to write 16 bit PNGs changes. To approximate the old
behavior, we decide by looking whether the source video format has more
than 8 bits per component. We apply this logic even for window
screenshots. Also, 16 bit PNGs now always include an unused alpha
channel. The reason is that FFmpeg has RGB48 and RGBA64 formats, but no
RGB064. RGB48 is 3 bytes and usually not supported by GPUs for
rendering, so we have to use RGBA64, which forces an alpha channel.
Will break for users who use --target-trc and similar options.
I considered creating a new gl_video context, but it could double GPU
memory use, so I didn't.
This uses FBOs instead of glGetTexImage(), because that increases the
chance it could work on GLES (e.g. ANGLE). Untested. No support for the
Vulkan and D3D11 backends yet.
Fixes#5498. Also fixes#5240, because the code for reading back is not
used with the new code path.
It was actually already implemented as ta_dup_ptrtype(), but that seems
like a clunky name. Also we still use the talloc_ names throughout the
source, and I'd rather use an old name instead of a mixing inconsistent
naming conventions.
Fixes display-sync (though if you change virtual desktops you'll need to seek
to re-enable display-sync) partially under wayland.
As an advantage, rendering is completely disabled if you change desktops or
alt+tab so you lose no performance if you leave mpv running elsewhere as long
as it isn't visible.
This could also be ported to other VOs which supports it.
MediaCodec uses a fixed number of output buffers to hold frames, and
expects that output buffers will be released as soon as possible. Once
rendered, the underlying frame is automatically released and cannot be
reused or rerendered.
The new VO_CAP_NOREDRAW forces mpv to release frames immediately after
they are rendered or dropped, to ensure that MediaCodec decoder does not
run out of buffers and stall out.
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.
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.
I really wouldn't care much about this, but some parts of the core code
are under HAVE_GPL, so there's some need to get rid of it. Simply turn
the video equalizer from its current fine-grained handling with vf/vo
fallbacks into global options. This makes updating them much simpler.
This removes any possibility of applying video equalizers in filters,
which affects vf_scale, and the previously removed vf_eq. Not a big
loss, since the preferred VOs have this builtin.
Remove video equalizer handling from vo_direct3d, vo_sdl, vo_vaapi, and
vo_xv. I'm not going to waste my time on these legacy VOs.
vo.eq_opts_cache exists _only_ to send a VOCTRL_SET_EQUALIZER, which
exists _only_ to trigger a redraw. This seems silly, but for now I feel
like this is less of a pain. The rest of the equalizer using code is
self-updating.
See commit 96b906a51d for how some video equalizer code was GPL only.
Some command line option names and ranges can probably be traced back to
a GPL only committer, but we don't consider these copyrightable.
So far, we had a thread-safe way to read options, but no option update
notification mechanism. Everything was funneled though the main thread's
central mp_option_change_callback() function. For example, if the
panscan options were changed, the function called vo_control() with
VOCTRL_SET_PANSCAN to manually notify the VO thread of updates. This
worked, but's pretty inconvenient. Most of these problems come from the
fact that MPlayer was written as a single-threaded program.
This commit works towards a more flexible mechanism. It adds an update
callback to m_config_cache (the thing that is already used for
thread-safe access of global options).
This alone would still be rather inconvenient, at least in context of
VOs. Add another mechanism on top of it that uses mp_dispatch_queue, and
takes care of some annoying synchronization issues. We extend
mp_dispatch_queue itself to make this easier and slightly more
efficient.
As a first application, use this to reimplement certain VO scaling and
renderer options. The update_opts() function translates these to the
"old" VOCTRLs, though.
An annoyingly subtle issue is that m_config_cache's destructor now
releases pending notifications, and must be released before the
associated dispatch queue. Otherwise, it could happen that option
updates during e.g. VO destruction queue or run stale entries, which is
not expected.
Rather untested. The singly-linked list code in dispatch.c is probably
buggy, and I bet some aspects about synchronization are not entirely
sane.
Can be enabled via --vd-lavc-dr=yes. See manpage additions for what it
does.
This reminds of the MPlayer -dr flag, but the implementation is
completely different. It's the same basic concept: letting the decoder
render into a GPU buffer to avoid a copy. Unlike MPlayer, this doesn't
try to go through filters (libavfilter doesn't support this anyway).
Unless a filter can work in-place, DR will be silently disabled. MPlayer
had very complex semantics about buffer types and management (which
apparently nobody ever understood) and weird restrictions that mostly
limited it to mpeg2 style codecs. The mpv code does not do any of this,
and just lets the decoder allocate an arbitrary number of untyped
images. (No MPlayer code was used.)
Parts of the code based on work by atomnuker (starting point for the
generic code) and haasn (some GL definitions, some basic PBO code, and
correct fencing).
Most contributors have agreed. vo.c requires a "driver" entry for each
video output - we assume that if someone who didn't agree to LGPL added
a line, it's fine for vo.c to be LGPL anyway. If the affected video
output is not disabled at compilation time, the resulting binary will be
GPL anyway.
One problem are the changes by Nick Kurshev (usually using "nick" as SVN
username). He could not be reached. I believe all changes to his files
are actually gone, but here is a detailed listing:
fa1d5742bc: nick introduces a new VO API. It was removed in 64bedd9683.
Some of this was replaced by VOCTRLs are introduced in 7c51652a1b,
obviously replacing at least some functionality by his API.
b587a3d642: nick adds a vo_tune_info_t struct. Removed in 64bedd9683
too.
9caad2c29a: nick adds some VOCTRLs, which were silently removed in
8cc5ba5ab8 (they became unused probably with the VIDIX removal).
340183b0e9: nick adds VO-based screenshots, which got removed in
2f4b840f62. Strangely the same name was introduced in 01cf896a2f again,
but this is a coincidence and worked differently (also it was removed
yet again in 2858232220).
104c125e6d: nick adds an option for "direct rendering". It was renamed
in 6403904ae9 and fully removed in e48b21dd87.
5ddd8e92a1: nick adds code to check the VO driver preinit arg to every
single VO driver. The argument itself and any possibly remaining code
associated with it was removed in 1f5ffe7d30.
f6878753fb: nick adds header inclusion guards. We assume this is not
relevant for copyright.
Some of nick's code was merely moved to other files, such as the
equalizer stuff added in 555c676683 and moved in 4db72f6a80 and
12579136ff, and don't affect copyright of these files anymore.
Other notes:
fef7b17c34: a patch by someone who wasn't asked for relicensing added a
symbol that was removed again in 1b09f4633.
4a8a46fafd: author probably didn't agree to LGPL, but the function
signature was changed later on anyway, and nothing of this is left.
7b25afd742: the same author adds a symbol to what is vo.h today, which
this relicensing commit removes, as it was unused. (It's not clear
whether the mere symbol is copyrightable, but no need to take a risk.)
3a406e94d7, 9dd8f241ac: slave mode things by someone who couldn't be
reached. This aspect of the old slave mode was completely removed.
bbeb54d80a: patch by someone who was not asked, but the added code was
completely removed again.
This fixes a race condition created by the previous commit, and possibly
others. Sometimes interpolated frames weren't redrawn as uninterpolated
ones.
The problem is that redrawing/drawing a frame can't reset the VO
want_redraw flags, because logically these have to happen after the core
acknowledged and explicitly reissued a redraw. The core needs to be
involved because the OSD text and drawings could depend on the playback
or window state.
Change it such that it always goes through the core.
Also, VOs inconsistently called vo_wakeup() when setting want_redraw,
which is also taken care of by this commit.
When pausing, we sent BOCTRL_PAUSE and VOCTRL_RESTORE_SCREENSAVER. These
essentially wait until the video frame has been rendered. This is a
problem with the opengl-cb, if GL rendering is done in the same thread
as libmpv uses. Unfortunately, it's allowed to use opengl-cb this way.
Logically speaking, it's a deadlock situation, which is resolved with a
timeout. This can lead to quite ugly effects, like the on-pause frame
not being rendered until the timeout has passed. It has been interpreted
as video continuing to play.
Resolve this by simply not blocking on pause. Make the screensaver
controls async, and handle sending VOCTRL_PAUSE in the VO thread.
(All this could be avoided by redoing the internal VO API.)
Also see #4152.
Long planned. Leads to some sanity.
There still are some rather gross things. Especially g_groups is ugly,
and a hack that can hopefully be removed. (There is a plan for it, but
whether it's implemented depends on how much energy is left.)
- win32-console-wrapper.c was inconsistently using the explicit Unicode
versions of some Windows API functions and structures.
- vo.c should use llabs for int64_t, since long is 32-bit on Windows.
- vo_direct3d.c had a potential use of an uninitialized variable if it
took the first goto error_exit.
This makes no sense, as the flag is supposed to be used for vsync
purposes only (when literally outputting the screen again with no
changes at all), and redrawing is often used for OSD updates.
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).
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.
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.
Normally I'd prefer a bunch of smaller functions with fewer parameters
over a single function with a lot of parameters. But future changes will
require messing with the parameters in a slightly more complex way, so a
combined function will be needed anyway. The now-unused "global"
parameter is required for later as well.
Positional parameters cause problems because they can be ambiguous with
flag options. If a flag option is removed or turned into a non-flag
option, it'll usually be interpreted as value for the first sub-option
(as positional parameter), resulting in very confusing error messages.
This changes it into a simple "option not found" error.
I don't expect that anyone really used positional parameters with --vo
or --ao. Although the docs for --ao=pulse seem to encourage positional
parameters for the host/sink options, which means it could possibly
annoy some PulseAudio users.
--vf and --af are still mostly used with positional parameters, so this
must be a configurable option in the option parser.
Just a minor refactor along the planned option change. This commit will
make it easier to update (i.e. copy) the VO options without copying
_all_ options. For now, behavior should be equivalent, though.
(The VO options were put into a separate struct quite early - when all
global variables were removed from the source code. It wasn't clear
whether the separate struct would have any actual purpose, but it seems
it will now. Awesome, huh.)
This should actually be rather safe - we already check whether the
estimated value jitters less than the (possibly untrustworthy) nominal
one. Remove a "safety" check that disabled this code for small
deviations, and make it trigger sooner into playback. Also lower the log
level of messages about using the estimated display FPS down to verbose.
Normally there's another mechanism for smoothing out minor estimation
differences, but that is not good enough here.
This possibly improves behavior as reported in #3433, which can be
reproduced with --vo=null:fps=48.426 --display-fps=48 (though it doesn't
consider the jitter introduced by a real VO).
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.
For clang, it's enough to just put (void) around usages we are
intentionally ignoring the result of.
Since GCC does not seem to want to respect this decision, we are forced
to disable the warning globally.
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.
The sync-by-display mode relies on using the vsync statistics for
timing. As a consequence discontinuities must be handled somehow. Until
now we have done this by completely resetting these statistics.
This can be somewhat annoying, especially if the GL driver's vsync
timing is not ideal. So after e.g. a seek it could take a second until
it locked back to the proper values.
Change it not to reset all statistics. Some state obviously has to be
reset, because it's a discontinuity. To make it worse, the driver's
vsync behavior will also change on such discontinuities. To compensate,
we discard the timings for the first 2 vsyncs after each discontinuity
(via num_successive_vsyncs). This is probably not fully ideal, and
num_total_vsync_samples handling in particular becomes a bit
questionable.
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).
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.
Don't use the average FPS if there are likely skipped vsyncs. Note that
we don't use the normal skip detection, as it is unreliable if the real
and assumed display FPS differ too much. The normal skip detection is
still in place as it's more reliable in the case when vsync jitters
much, but the display FPS is relatively exact.
Further improvement over commit 41f2c653.
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).
If we switched away from the system FPS, we were remaining in this mode
ssentially forever. There's no reason to do so; switch back if the
estimated FPS gets worse again. Improvement over commit 41f2c653.
Commit 12eb8b2d accidentally disabled framedropping in the audio timing
case. It tried to replace the last_flip field with the prev_vsync one,
which didn't work because prev_sync is reset to 0 if the timing code is
used. Fix it by always setting it properly. This field must (or should)
be reinitialized to something sensible when switching to display sync
timing mode; since prev_vsync is not reset anymore, the check when to
reinitialize this field has to be adjusted as well.
It's a bit weird that update_vsync_timing_after_swap() now does some
minor work for timing mode too, but I guess it's ok, if only to avoid
additional fields and timer calls.
If the system-reported display FPS (returned by the VO backends, or
forced with --display-fps) is too imprecise (deviating frame duration by
more than 1%). This works if the display FPS is off by almost 1 (typical
for old/bad/broken OS APIs). Actually it even works if the FPs is
completely wrong.
Is it a good idea? Probably not. It might be better to only output a
warning message. But unless there are reports about it going terribly
wrong, I'll go with this for now.
Actually I'm not content with the detection added in commit 44376d2d. It
triggers too often if vsync is very jittery. It's easy to avoid this: we
add more samples to the detection by reusing the drift computation loop.
If there's a significant step in the drift, we consider it a drop.
Return the estimated/ideal flip time to the timing logic (meaning
vo_get_delay() returns a smoothed out time). In addition to this add
some lame but working drift compensation. (Useful especially if the
display FPS is wrong by a factor such as 1.001.)
Also remove some older leftovers. The vsync_interval_approx and
last_flip fields are redundant or unneeded.
For the vo-delayed-frame-count property.
Slightly less dumb than the previous one (which was removed earlier),
but still pretty dumb. But this also seems to be relatively robust, even
with strong vsync jittering.
This logic was kind of questionable anyway, and --display-sync should
give much better results. (I would even go as far as saying that the
FPS-dependent framedrop code made things worse in some situations. Not
all, though.)
