I don't want to add another field to display stream and demuxer cache
separately, so just add them up. This strangely makes sense, since the
forward buffered stream cache amount consists of data not read by the
demuxer yet. (If the demuxer cache has buffered the full stream, the
forward buffered stream cache amount is 0.)
Make the VO<->decoder interface capable of supporting multiple hwdec
APIs at once. The main gain is that this simplifies autoprobing a lot.
Before this change, it could happen that the VO loaded the "wrong" hwdec
API, and the decoder was stuck with the choice (breaking hw decoding).
With the change applied, the VO simply loads all available APIs, so
autoprobing trickery is left entirely to the decoder.
In the past, we were quite careful about not accidentally loading the
wrong interop drivers. This was in part to make sure autoprobing works,
but also because libva had this obnoxious bug of dumping garbage to
stderr when using the API. libva was fixed, so this is not a problem
anymore.
The --opengl-hwdec-interop option is changed in various ways (again...),
and renamed to --gpu-hwdec-interop. It does not have much use anymore,
other than debugging. It's notable that the order in the hwdec interop
array ra_hwdec_drivers[] still matters if multiple drivers support the
same image formats, so the option can explicitly force one, if that
should ever be necessary, or more likely, for debugging. One example are
the ra_hwdec_d3d11egl and ra_hwdec_d3d11eglrgb drivers, which both
support d3d11 input.
vo_gpu now always loads the interop lazily by default, but when it does,
it loads them all. vo_opengl_cb now always loads them when the GL
context handle is initialized. I don't expect that this causes any
problems.
It's now possible to do things like changing between vdpau and nvdec
decoding at runtime.
This is also preparation for cleaning up vd_lavc.c hwdec autoprobing.
It's another reason why hwdec_devices_request_all() does not take a
hwdec type anymore.
Until now, the demuxer cache was limited to a single range. Extend this
to multiple range. Should be useful for slow network streams.
This commit changes a lot in the internal demuxer cache logic, so
there's a lot of room for bugs and regressions. The logic without
demuxer cache is mostly untouched, but also involved with the code
changes. Or in other words, this commit probably fucks up shit.
There are two things which makes multiple cached ranges rather hard:
1. the need to resume the demuxer at the end of a cached range when
seeking to it
2. joining two adjacent ranges when the lowe range "grows" into it (and
resuming the demuxer at the end of the new joined range)
"Resuming" the demuxer means that we perform a low level seek to the end
of a cached range, and properly append new packets to it, without adding
packets multiple times or creating holes due to missing packets.
Since audio and video never line up exactly, there is no clean "cut"
possible, at which you could resume the demuxer cleanly (for 1.) or
which you could use to detect that two ranges are perfectly adjacent
(for 2.). The way how the demuxer interleaves multiple streams is also
unpredictable. Typically you will have to expect that it randomly allows
one of the streams to be ahead by a bit, and so on.
To deal with this, we have heuristics in place to detect when one packet
equals or is "behind" a packet that was demuxed earlier. We reuse the
refresh seek logic (used to "reread" packets into the demuxer cache when
enabling a track), which checks for certain packet invariants.
Currently, it observes whether either the raw packet position, or the
packet DTS is strictly monotonically increasing. If none of them are
true, we discard old ranges when creating a new one.
This heavily depends on the file format and the demuxer behavior. For
example, not all file formats have DTS, and the packet position can be
unset due to libavformat not always setting it (e.g. when parsers are
used).
At the same time, we must deal with all the complicated state used to
track prefetching and seek ranges. In some complicated corner cases, we
just give up and discard other seek ranges, even if the previously
mentioned packet invariants are fulfilled.
To handle joining, we're being particularly dumb, and require a small
overlap to be confident that two ranges join perfectly. (This could be
done incrementally with as little overlap as 1 packet, but corner cases
would eat us: each stream needs to be joined separately, and the cache
pruning logic could remove overlapping packets for other streams again.)
Another restriction is that switching the cached range will always
trigger an asynchronous low level seek to resume demuxing at the new
range. Some users might find this annoying.
Dealing with interleaved subtitles is not fully handled yet. It will
clamp the seekable range to where subtitle packets are.
The main purpose of this commit is avoiding any hidden O(n^2) algorithms
in the code for pruning the demuxer cache, and for determining the
seekable boundaries of the cache. The old code could loop over the whole
packet queue on every packet pruned in certain corner cases.
There are two ways how to reach the goal:
1) commit a cardinal sin
2) do everything incrementally
The cardinal sin is adding an extra field to demux_packet, which caches
the determined seekable range for a keyframe range. demux_packet is a
rather general data structure and thus shouldn't have any fields that
are not inherent to its use, and are only needed as an implementation
detail of code using it. But what are you gonna do, sue me?
In the future, demux.c might have its own packet struct though. Then the
other existing cardinal sin (the "next" field, from MPlayer times) could
be removed as well.
This commit also changes slightly how the seek end is determined. There
is a note on the manpage in case anyone finds the new behavior
confusing. It's somewhat cleaner and might be needed for supporting
multiple ranges (although that's unclear).
Even if the demuxer cache does not multiple ranges yet. This is to
reduce the pain should caching of multiple ranges ever be implemented.
Also change it from the sub properties stuff to return a mpv_node
directly, which is less roundabout. Sub-property access won't work
anymore, though.
Remove the seekable-start/-end fields as well, as they're redundant with
the ranges.
All this would normally be considered an API change, but since it's been
only a few days with no known users, change it immediately.
This adds some node.c helpers as well, as the code would be too damn
fugly otherwise.
This removes all GPL only code from it, and that's the whole purpose.
Also happens to be much simpler.
The "deinterlace" option still sort of exists, but only as runtime
changeable option. The main change in behavior is that the property will
not report back the actual deint state. Or in other words, if inserting
or initializing the filter fails, the deinterlace property will still
return "yes". This is in line with most recent behavior changes to
properties and options.
This replaces `vo-performance` by `vo-passes`, bringing with it a number
of changes and improvements:
1. mpv users can now introspect the vo_opengl passes, which is something
that has been requested multiple times.
2. performance data is now measured per-pass, which helps both
development and debugging.
3. since adding more passes is cheap, we can now report information for
more passes (e.g. the blit pass, and the osd pass). Note: we also
switch to nanosecond scale, to be able to measure these passes
better.
4. `--user-shaders` authors can now describe their own passes, helping
users both identify which user shaders are active at any given time
as well as helping shader authors identify performance issues.
5. the timing data per pass is now exported as a full list of samples,
so projects like Argon-/mpv-stats can immediately read out all of the
samples and render a graph without having to manually poll this
option constantly.
Due to gl_timer's design being complicated (directly reading performance
data would block, so we delay the actual read-back until the next _start
command), it's vital not to conflate different passes that might be
doing different things from one frame to another. To accomplish this,
the actual timers are stored as part of the gl_shader_cache's sc_entry,
which makes them unique for that exact shader.
Starting and stopping the time measurement is easy to unify with the
gl_sc architecture, because the existing API already relies on a
"generate, render, reset" flow, so we can just put timer_start and
timer_stop in sc_generate and sc_reset, respectively.
The ugliest thing about this code is that due to the need to keep pass
information relatively stable in between frames, we need to distinguish
between "new" and "redrawn" frames, which bloats the code somewhat and
also feels hacky and vo_opengl-specific. (But then again, this entire
thing is vo_opengl-specific)
This introduces (yet another..) mp_colorspace members, an enum `light`
(for lack of a better name) which basically tells us whether we're
dealing with scene-referred or display-referred light, but also a bit
more metadata (in which way is the scene-referred light expected to be
mapped to the display?).
The addition of this parameter accomplishes two goals:
1. Allows us to actually support HLG more-or-less correctly[1]
2. Allows people playing back direct “camera” content (e.g. v-log or
s-log2) to treat it as scene-referred instead of display-referred
[1] Even better would be to use the display-referred OOTF instead of the
idealized OOTF, but this would require either native HLG support in
LittleCMS (unlikely) or more communication between lcms.c and
video_shaders.c than I'm remotely comfortable with
That being said, in principle we could switch our usage of the BT.1886
EOTF to the BT.709 OETF instead and treat BT.709 content as being
scene-referred under application of the 709+1886 OOTF; which moves that
particular conversion from the 3dlut to the shader code; but also allows
a) users like UliZappe to turn it off and b) supporting the full HLG
OOTF in the same framework. But I think I prefer things as they are
right now.
List of changes:
1. Kill nom_peak, since it's a pointless non-field that stores nothing
of value and is _always_ derived from ref_white anyway.
2. Kill ref_white/--target-brightness, because the only case it really
existed for (PQ) actually doesn't need to be this general: According
to ITU-R BT.2100, PQ *always* assumes a reference monitor with a
white point of 100 cd/m².
3. Improve documentation and comments surrounding this stuff.
4. Clean up some of the code in general. Move stuff where it belongs.
Before this, options with co->data==NULL (i.e. no storage) were not
added to the bridge (except alias options). There are a few options
which might make sense to allow via the bridge ("profile" and
"include"). So allow them.
In command_init(), we merely remove the co->data check, the rest of the
diff is due to switching the if/else branches for convenience.
We also must explicitly error on M_PROPERTY_GET if co->data==NULL. All
other cases check it in some way.
Explicitly exclude options from the property bridge, which would be
added due this, and the result would be pointless.
And also change input.conf to make all screenshots async. (Except the
every-frame mode, which always uses synchronous mode and ignores the
flag.) By default, the "screenshot" command is still asynchronous,
because scripts etc. might depend on this behavior.
This is only partially async. The code for determining the filename is
still always run synchronously. Only encoding the screenshot and writing
it to disk is asynchronous. We explicitly document the exact behavior as
undefined, so it can be changed any time.
Some of this is a bit messy, because I wanted to avoid duplicating the
message display code between sync and async mode. In async mode, this is
called from a worker thread, which is not safe because showing a message
accesses the thread-unsafe OSD code. So the core has to be locked during
this, which implies accessing the core and all that. So the code has
weird locking calls, and we need to do core destruction in a more
"controlled" manner (thus the outstanding_async field).
(What I'd really want would be the OSD simply showing log messages
instead.)
This is pretty untested, so expect bugs.
Fixes#4250.
Obviously, this has no effect on commands which do not support this
explicitly. A later commit will enable this for screenshots.
Also add some wording on mpv_command_async(), which has nothing to do
with this. Having a more elegant, unified behavior would be nice. But
the API function was not created for this - it's merely for running
commands _synchronously_ on the core, but without blocking the client
API caller (if the API user consistently uses only async functions).
"@name:!" becomes simply "@name". This is actually slightly more complex
to parse, but makes for a much simpler syntax and will be less weird to
the user. Suggested by haasn.
The old syntax is now rejected with an error.
Also add some more explicit error checks, instead of e.g. allowing empty
filter names and erroring only when it's not found.
It should default to true, but setting the filter list via mpv_node
(relevant for client API and Lua scripting) left it to false.
Also "document" the flag.
Basically, see the example in input.rst.
This is better than the "old" vf-toggle method, because it doesn't
require the user to duplicate the filter string in mpv.conf and
input.conf.
Some aspects of this changes are untested, so enjoy your alpha testing.
Requested. The property semantics are a bit muddy due to lack of effort.
Anticipated use is different display of cache status, so it should not
matter anyway.
This was excessively useless, and I want my time back that was needed to
explain users why they don't want to use it.
It captured the byte stream only, and even for types of streams it was
designed for (like transport streams), it was rather questionable.
As part of the removal, un-inline demux_run_on_thread() (which has only
1 call-site now), and sort of reimplement --stream-dump to write the
data directly instead of using the removed capture code.
(--stream-dump is also very useless, and I struggled coming up with an
explanation for it in the manpage.)
"drop-frame-count" -> "decoder-frame-drop-count"
"vo-drop-frame-count" -> "frame-drop-count"
This gets rid of the backwards "drop-frame" part in the name.
Maybe calling the new property "frame-drops" would be better, but there
are already a bunch of similar properties that end in "-count".
Introduce the --opengl-hwdec-interop option, which replaces
--hwdec-preload. The new option allows explicit selection of the interop
backend.
This is relatively complex, and I would have preferred not to add this,
but it's probably useful to debug certain problems. In exchange, the
"new" option documents that pretty much any but the simplest use of it
will not be forward compatible.
As threatened by the API changes document.
We can actually keep the deprecated --playlist-pos and --cache options,
since they are aliases and not used by the corresponding properties.
They are inconsistent, but do no harm. Keep them for now for the sake of
the command line user.
mpv_identify.sh partially stopped working, because it was never updated.
The shell magic can't deal with property names that contain "/", so we
can't replace "samplerate" with "audio-params/samplerate" - just remove
these properties. (How about you use ffprobe?)
Use the device name as fallback. This is ugly, but still better than
skipping the description entirely. This can be an issue on ALSA, where
the API can return entries without proper description.
"seek -10 absolute" will seek to 10 seconds before the end. This more or less
matches the --start option and negative seeks were otherwise useless (they just
clipped to 0).
This should make display-names usable on Windows. It returns a list of
GDI monitor names like "\\.\DISPLAY1". Since it may be useful to get the
monitor that Windows considers associated with the window (with
MonitorFromWindow,) this will always be returned as the first argument.
This monitor is the one used for display-fps and icc-profile-auto.
The intention is to give libmpv users as much flexibility to load
scripts as using mpv from CLI, but without restricting libmpv users from
having to decide everything on creation time, or having to go through
hacks like recreating the libmpv context to update state.
This is the actual decoder output, with no overrides applied. (Maybe
video-params shouldn't contain the overrides in the first place, but
damage done.)
For audio files, this is identical to time-pos (except read-only).
For audio-video files, this returns the audio position. Unlike
time-pos, this is not quantized to a video frame.
For video-only files, this property is unavailable.
Some properties had a different type from their equivalent options (such
as mute, volume, deinterlace, edition). This wasn't really sane, as raw
option values should be always within their bounds. On the other hand,
these properties use a different type to reflect runtime limits (such as
range of available editions), or simply to improve the "UI" (you don't
want to cycle throuhg the completely useless "auto" value when cycling
the "mute" property).
Handle this by making them always return the option type, but also
allowing them to provide a "constricted" type, which is used for UI
purposes. All M_PROPERTY_GET_CONSTRICTED_TYPE changes are related to
this.
One consequence is that you can set the volume property to arbitrary
high values just like with the --volume option, but using the "add"
command it still restricts it to the --volume-max range.
Also deprecate --chapter, as it is grossly incompatible to the chapter
property. We pondered renaming it to --chapters, or introducing a more
powerful --range option, but concluded that --start --end is actually
enough.
These changes appear to take care of the last gross property/option
incompatibilities, although there might still be a few lurking.
For some odd reason, value ranges for the window-scale option and
property are different, and the property has a more narrow range. Change
it to the option range.
Also store the window-scale value into the option value when setting the
property, so it will be persistent if the window is closed and reopened.
Conflicts with the "playlist-pos" property. They're really a bit too
different, and since the --playlist-pos option is relatively new and
obscure, just rename it to get this out of the way.
All option write accesses are now put through the property interface,
which means runtime option value verification and runtime updates are
applied. This is done even for command line arguments and config files.
This has many subtle and not-so-subtle consequences. The potential for
unintended and intended subtle or not-subtle behavior changes is very
large.
Architecturally, this is us literally jumping through hoops. It really
should work the other way around, with options being able to have
callbacks for value verification and applying runtime updates. But this
would require rewriting the entirety of command.c. This change is more
practical, and if anything will at least allow incremental changes.
Some options are too incompatible for this to work - these are excluded
with an explicit blacklist.
This change fixes many issues caused by the mismatch between properties
and options. For example, this fixes#3281.
With the recent vo_opengl changes it doesn't do anything anymore.
I don't think a deprecation period is necessary, because the command
was always marked as experimental.
The --cache option and cache property conflict, so one of them has to be
renamed. The option is probably used frequently, so initiate
deprecation/rename of the property.
Make some existing properties behave more like options. This mostly
means they don't deny access if the associated component is not active,
but redirects to the option.
One kind of fishy change is that we apply --brightness etc. only if
they're not set to the default value. This won't necessarily work with
--vo=xv, but affects only cases where 1. the Xv adapter has been changed
to non-defaults, and 2. the user tries to reset them with mpv by passing
e.g. --brightness=0. We don't care about Xv, and the noted use-case is
dumb, so this change is acceptable.
