Two changes, compounded into one since they affect the same logic:
1. Never use linearization for HDR downscaling
2. Always use linearization for interpolation
Instead of fixing p->use_linear at the beginning of pass_render_frame,
we flip it on "dynamically" as needed. I plan on killing this
p->use_linear frame (along with other per-pass metadata) and moving them
into their own struct for tracking the "current" state of the video, but
that's a separate/upcoming refactor.
As a small bonus, reduce some code duplication in the interpolation
logic.
Fixes#4631
I've found more test cases where hwdec=cuda shits itself, even
hwdec=cuda-copy. So the whole “copyback is no worse than swdec” is
simply not true. Also, in the light of 10 bit media files and APIs
silently truncating to 8 bit, the warnings need to be generalized a bit.
It's no longer safe to say that “doesn't convert to RGB” means “perfect
playback”.
I've also added a very strong disclaimer to the whole hwdec scenario
clarifying why hwdec is usually a bad idea unless absolutely needed,
because I've seen issue after issue that is resolved by disabling hwdec.
This is done via compute shaders. As a consequence, the tone mapping
algorithms had to be rewritten to compute their known constants in GLSL
(ahead of time), instead of doing it once. Didn't affect performance.
Using shmem/SSBO atomics in this way is extremely fast on nvidia, but it
might be slow on other platforms. Needs testing.
Unfortunately, setting up the SSBO still requires OpenGL calls, which
means I can't have it in video_shaders.c, where it belongs. But I'll
defer worrying about that until the backend refactor, since then I'll be
breaking up the video/video_shaders structure anyway.
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).
Remove this code because it could be argued that it contains GPL-only
code (see commit 642e963c86 for details).
The remaining aspect methods appear to work just as well, are
potentially more compatible to other players, and the code becomes much
simpler.
Performance seems pretty much unchanged but I no longer get nasty spikes
on NUMA systems, probably because glBufferSubData runs in the driver or
something.
As a simplification of the code, we also just size the PBO to always
have the full size, even for cropped textures. This seems slower but not
by relevant amounts, and only affects e.g. --vf=crop. It also slightly
increases VRAM usage for textures with big strides.
This new code path is especially nice because it no longer depends on
GL_ARB_map_buffer_range, and no longer uses any functions that can
possibly fail, thus simplifying control flow and seemingly deprecating
the manpage's claim about possible image corruption.
In theory we could also reduce NUM_PBO_BUFFERS since it doesn't seem
like we're streaming uploads anyway, but leave it in there just in
case some drivers disagree...
It used to use the "encoding" section. Change this to the default
section to remove another small special case. encoding-profiles.conf
didn't use this by default anyway. The previous revert could mitigate
potential impacts of this a little.
This is more of a niche usecase than --ytdl-format and --ytdl-raw-options,
so a simple script option should be enough.
Either create lua-settings/ytdl_hook.conf with
'exclude=example.com,sub.example.com' option or
"--script-opts=ytdl_hook-exclude=example.com,sub.example.com"
This just indicates a fixed linear coefficient to multiply into the
signal, similar to the old option --target-brightness (but the inverse
thereof). Good for testing purposes, which is why I added it. (This also
corresponds somewhat to what zimg does)
It's now possible to request non-dumb mode as a user, even when not
using any non-dumb features. This change is mostly intended for testing,
so I can easily switch between dumb and non-dumb mode on default
settings. The default behavior is unaffected.
Was at least somewhat broken, and is misleading. I don't really have an
idea why FFmpeg has two AVOptions here anyway. We don't need to care,
and I'm only aware of 1 user trying this option ever.
See #4579.
This is exposed so that bjin/mpv-prescalers can use textureGatherOffset
for performance.
Since there are now quite a lot of parameters where it isn't quite clear
why they're all defined, add a paragraph to the man page that explains
them a bit.
This helps prevent unnaturally, weirdly colorized blown out highlights
for direct images of the sunlit sky and other way-too-bright HDR
content. I was debating whether to set the default at 1.0 or 2.0, but
went with the more conservative option that preserves more detail/color.
This is more efficient on my machine (nvidia), but only when applied to
groups of exactly 4 texels. So we switch to the more efficient
textureGather for groups of 4. Some notes:
- textureGatherOffset seems to be faster than textureGather by a
non-negligible amount, but for some reason, textureOffset is still
slower than a straight-up texture
- textureGather* requires GLSL 400; and at least on nvidia, this
requires actually allocating a GL 4.0 context.
- the code in opengl/common.c that clamped the GLSL version to 330 is
deprecated, because the old user shader style has been removed
completely in the meantime
- To combat the growing complexity of the polar sampling code, we drop
the antiringing functionality from EWA shaders completely, since it
never really worked well for EWA to begin with. (Horrific artifacting)
This allows filter functions to be prematurely cut off once their
contributions start becoming insignificant. This effectively prevents
wasted GPU time sampling from parts of the function that are essentially
reduced to zero by the window function, providing anywhere from a 10% to
20% speedup. (5700μs -> 4700μs for me)
This is more confusing than it helps, and forces escaping more stuff.
For example, for string lists we could remove all need for escaling with
-add and -pre.
The user can simply use multiple of those 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)
The changes to path list options is basically getting rid of the need to
pass multiple paths to a single option. Instead, you can use the option
multiple times. The old behavior can be used by using the -set suffix
with the option.
Change some options to path lists. For example --script is now append by
default, and if you use --script-set, you need to use ":"/";" as
separator instead of ",".
--sub-paths/--audio-file-paths is a deprecated alias now, and will break
if the user tries to pass multiple paths to it. I'm assuming that if
these are used, most users will pass only 1 path anyway.
--opengl-shaders has more compatibility handling, since it's probably
rather common that users pass multiple options to it.
Also document all that in the manpage.
I'll probably regret this later, as it somewhat increases the complexity
of the option parser, rather than increasing it.
I noticed that the previous default, bitstream, actually breaks with
some shitty anamorphic DVD rips that signal square pixel aspect in the
bitstream. So I think the "container" method is a better default.
You could do mpv_set_option(h, "no-fs", ""), which would behave like
"--no-fs" on the command line. At one point, this had to be emulated for
compatibility, and printed a deprecation warning. This was almost a year
ago, so remove it.
This was especially grating because it causes problems with the
option/property unification, uses as only thing OPT_FLAG_STORE, and
behaves weird with the client API or scripts.
It can be reimplemented in a much simpler way, although it needs
slightly more code. (Simpler because less special cases.)
cehoyos, who did not agree to the LGPL relicensing, added this in commit
240b743e. The actual implementation of it is already guarded with
HAVE_GPL. The field_dominance field in the option struct won't be
guarded.
We won't keep GPL-only core code forever, so deprecate it as well. To
apply forced deinterlacing, a libavfilter filter can probably be
removed, or we merge this functionality into the --deinterlace option
(without using copyrighted stuff).
It was extended by "seru" in 8d190244. This person could not be reached
(or does not reply), and it's in the way of LGPL relicensing. Deprecate
it, and mark the (probably) affected parts of the code with HAVE_GPL. To
be fair, even though the osd.c parts were refactored from the original
code, there's probably no copyright by seru on it. But for now play it
save. The mere existence of a 3rd OSD level is certainly not
copyrightable, so you still can set osd-level to 3 - just that it does
nothing.
A relic of mplayer had 'I' as the keybind to show the filename of the
currently playing file on the OSD. mpv does not do this by default.
This commit removes this incorrect information from the mpv manage.
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.
st2084 and std-b67 are really weird names for PQ and HLG, which is what
everybody else (including e.g. the ITU-R) calls them. Follow their
example.
I decided against naming them bt2020-pq and bt2020-hlg because it's not
necessary in this case. The standard name is only used for the other
colorspaces etc. because those literally have no other names.
