Move the decoder parts from vo_vdpau.c to a new file vdpau_old.c. This file is named so because because it's written against the "old" libavcodec vdpau pseudo-decoder (e.g. "h264_vdpau"). Add support for the "new" libavcodec vdpau support. This was recently added and replaces the "old" vdpau parts. (In fact, Libav is about to deprecate and remove the "old" API without deprecation grace period, so we have to support it now. Moreover, there will probably be no Libav release which supports both, so the transition is even less smooth than we could hope, and we have to support both the old and new API.) Whether the old or new API is used is checked by a configure test: if the new API is found, it is used, otherwise the old API is assumed. Some details might be handled differently. Especially display preemption is a bit problematic with the "new" libavcodec vdpau support: it wants to keep a pointer to a specific vdpau API function (which can be driver specific, because preemption might switch drivers). Also, surface IDs are now directly stored in AVFrames (and mp_images), so they can't be forced to VDP_INVALID_HANDLE on preemption. (This changes even with older libavcodec versions, because mp_image always uses the newer representation to make vo_vdpau.c simpler.) Decoder initialization in the new code tries to deal with codec profiles, while the old code always uses the highest profile per codec. Surface allocation changes. Since the decoder won't call config() in vo_vdpau.c on video size change anymore, we allow allocating surfaces of arbitrary size instead of locking it to what the VO was configured. The non-hwdec code also has slightly different allocation behavior now. Enabling the old vdpau special decoders via e.g. --vd=lavc:h264_vdpau doesn't work anymore (a warning suggesting the --hwdec option is printed instead).
mpv
Overview
mpv is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.
If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read more about the changes.
Compilation
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of ./configure --help for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
./configure. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain
information about the reasons for the failure.
Essential dependencies (incomplete list):
- gcc or clang
- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
- libjpeg
- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
- libx264/libmp3lame/libfdk-aac if you want to use encoding (has to be explicitly enabled when compiling ffmpeg)
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build) that first compiles FFmpeg libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide homebrew-mpv, an up to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for OSX.
configure --enable-* parameters
The --enable-* parameters unconditionally force options on, completely skipping autodetection. This behavior is unlike what you may be used to from autoconf-based configure scripts that can decide to override you. This greater level of control comes at a price. You may have to provide the correct compiler and linker flags yourself. If you used one of these options and experience a compilation or linking failure, make sure you have passed the necessary compiler/linker flags to configure.
