* vo_opengl: replace tscale-interpolates-only with interpolation-thresholdwm42016-01-271-3/+13
| | | | | The previous approach was too naive, and can e.g. ruin playback if scheduling switches e.g. between 1 and 2 vsync per frame.
* vo_opengl: support 10 bit support with ANGLEwm42016-01-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GLES does not support high bit depth fixed point textures for unknown reasons, so direct 10 bit input is not possible. But we can still use integer textures, which are supported by GLES 3.0. These store integer data just like the standard fixed point textures, except they are not normalized on sampling. They also don't support bilinear filtering, and require a special sampler ("usampler2D"). While these texture formats enable us to shuffle the data to the GPU, they're rather impractical with the requirements mentioned above and our current architecture. One problem is that most code assumes it can always use bilinear scaling (even if bilinear is never used when using appropriate scale/cscale options). Another is that we don't have any concept of running a function on a texture in an uniform way. So for now, run a simple conversion step through a FBO. The FBO will use the rgba16f format normally, which gives enough bits for 10 bit, and will at least gracefully degrade with higher depth input. This is bound to be much slower than a more "direct" method, but at least it works and is simple to implement. The odd change of function call order in init_video() is to properly disable "dumb mode" (no FBO use) if these texture formats are in use.
* vo_opengl: default to rgba16f FBOs on ANGLEwm42016-01-261-2/+2

* vo_opengl: default scaler-resizes-only sub-option to yeswm42016-01-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Often requested. The main argument, that prominent scalers like sharpen change the image even if no scaling happens, disappeared anyway. ("sharpen", unsharp masking, is neither prominent nor a scaler anymore. This is an artifact from MPlayer, which fuses unsharp masking with bilinear scaling in order to make it single-pass, or so.)
* vo_opengl: rename custom shader entrypoint from sample to sample_pixelwm42016-01-251-1/+5
| | | | | | | "sample" is a reserved identifier at least in GLES ES. Suggestions for a better name than "sample_pixel" are still welcome. Fixes #2733.
* vo_opengl: blend transparent video against tiles by defaultwm42015-12-221-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Add a "blend-tiles" choice to the "alpha" sub-option. This is pretty simplistic and uses the GL raster position to derive the tiles. A weird consequence is that using --vo=opengl and --vo=opengl-hq gives different scaling behavior (screenspace pixel size vs. source video pixel size 16x16 tiles), but it seems we don't have easy access to the original texture coordinates. Using the rasterpos is probably simpler. Make this option the default.
* vo_opengl: disable pbo by defaults for opengl-hqwm42015-12-191-5/+7

* vo_opengl: add dxinterop backendJames Ross-Gowan2015-12-111-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | WGL_NV_DX_interop is widely supported by Nvidia and AMD drivers. It allows a texture to be shared between Direct3D and WGL, so that rendering can be done with WGL and presentation can be done with Direct3D. This should allow us to work around some persistent WGL issues, such as dropped frames with some driver/OS combos, drivers that buffer frames to increase performance at the cost of latency, and the inability to disable exclusive fullscreen mode when using WGL to render to a fullscreen window. The addition of a DX_interop backend might also enable some cool Direct3D-specific enhancements in the future, such as using the GetPresentStatistics API to get accurate frame presentation timestamps. Note that due to a driver bug, this backend is currently broken on Intel. It will appear to work as long as the window is not resized too often, but after a few changes of size it will be unable to share the newly created renderbuffer with GL. See: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/graphics-driver-bug-reporting/topic/562051
* vo_opengl: decrease default lookup texture size to 64Bin Jin2015-12-071-2/+2
| | | | | | It turns out that with accurate lookup we can decrease the default size of texture now. Do it to compensate the performance loss introduced by the LUT_POS macro.

* vo_opengl: enable NNEDI3 prescaler on OpenGL ES 3.0Bin Jin2015-12-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that both UBO and intBitsToFloat() are supported in OpenGL ES 3.0[1][2], enable them so that NNEDI3 prescaler can be used in a wider range of backends. Also fixes some implicit int-to-float conversions so that the shader actually compiles on GLES. Tested on Linux desktop (nvidia 358.16) with "es" sub-option.

* vo_opengl: make tscale=mitchell:tscale-clamp the defaultwm42015-11-291-1/+1
| | | | Looks better than "oversample". tscale-clamp suggested by haasn.
* w32_common: implement icc-profile-autoJames Ross-Gowan2015-11-261-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds basic support for ICC profiles. Per-monitor profiles are supported. WCS profiles are not supported, but there is an API for converting WCS profiles to ICC, so they might be supported in future. I'm just not sure if anyone actually uses them. Reloading the ICC profile when it's changed in the control panel is also not supported. This might be possible by using the WCS APIs and watching the registry for changes, but there is no official API for it, and as far as I can tell, no other Windows programs can do it.
* vo_opengl: disable interpolation without display-syncwm42015-11-251-0/+4
| | | | | Without display-sync mode, our guesses wrt. vsync phase etc. are much worse, and I see no reason to keep the complicated "vsync_timed" code.
* vo_rpi: add an option to disable OSDwm42015-11-251-0/+4
| | | | | | The OSD takes up an entire fullscreen dispmanx layer. Although the GPU should be able to handle it (possibly even without any disadvantages), it'll still be useful for debugging performance issues.
* manpage: deinterlace is now the lowercase dKevin Mitchell2015-11-231-2/+2

* manpage: clarify correct-downscaling descriptionwm42015-11-231-1/+2
| | | | Someone complained about the wording.
* vo_opengl: use ANGLE by default if available (except for "hq" preset)wm42015-11-211-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | Running mpv with default config will now pick up ANGLE by default. Since some think ANGLE is still not good enough for hq features, extend the "es" option to reject GLES backends, and add to to the opengl-hq preset. One consequence is that mpv will by default use libswscale to convert 10 bit video to 8 bit, before it reaches the VO.
* vo_opengl: enable dumb-mode automatically if possiblewm42015-11-191-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I decided that I actually can't stand how vo_opengl unnecessarily puts the video through 3 shader stages (instead of 1). Thus, what was meant to be a fallback for weak OpenGL implementations, the dumb-mode, now becomes default if the user settings allow it. The code required to check for the settings isn't so wild, so I guess it's manageable. I still hope that one day, our rendering logic can generate ideal shader stages for this case too. Note that in theory, dumb-mode could be reenabled at runtime due to a color management 3D LUT being set, so a separate dumb_mode field is required. The dumb-mode option can't just be overwritten.
* vo_opengl: switch FBO format on GLESwm42015-11-191-1/+2
| | | | | GL_RGB10_A2 is the best fixed-point format we can get on GLES/ANGLE for now. (Unless we somehow switch to non-normalized integer textures.)
* vo_opengl_cb: make operation more similar to normal VOswm42015-11-091-21/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vo_opengl_cb is a special case, because we somehow have to render video asynchronously, all while "trusting" the API user to do it correctly. This didn't quite work, and a while ago a compromise using a timeout to prevent theoretically possible deadlocks was added. Make it even more synchronous. Basically, go all the way, and synchronize rendering between VO and user renderer thread to the full extent possible. This means the silly frame queue is dropped, and we event attempt to synchronize the GL SwapBuffer call (via mpv_opengl_cb_report_flip()). The changes introduced with commit dc33eb56 are effectively dropped. I don't even remember if they mattered. In the future, we might make all VOs fetch asynchronously from a frame queue, which would mostly remove the differences between vo_opengl and vo_opengl_cb, but this will take a while (if it will even be done).
* vo_opengl: rename "drm_egl" to "drm-egl"wm42015-11-091-2/+2

* vo_opengl: add DRM EGL backendrr-2015-11-081-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Notes: - Unfortunately the only way to talk to EGL from within DRM I could find involves linking with GBM (generic buffer management for Mesa.) Because of this, I'm pretty sure it won't work with proprietary NVidia drivers, but then again, last time I checked NVidia didn't offer proper screen resolution for VT. - VT switching doesn't seem to work at all. It's worth mentioning that using vo_drm before introduction of VT switcher had an anomaly where user could switch to another VT and input text to it, while video played on top of that VT. However, that isn't the case with drm_egl: I can't switch to other VT during playback like this. This makes me think that it's either a limitation coming from my firmware or from EGL/KMS itself rather than a bug with my code. Nonetheless, I still left (untestable) VT switching code in place, in case it's useful to someone else. - The mode_id, connector_id and device_path should be configurable for power users and people who wish to watch videos on nonprimary screen. Unfortunately I didn't see anything that would allow OpenGL backends to register their own set of options. At the same time, adding them to global namespace is pointless. - A few dozens of lines could be shared with vo_drm (setting up VT switching, most of code behind page flipping). I don't have any strong opinion on this. - Sometimes I get minor visual glitches. I'm not sure if there's a race condition of some sort, unitialized variable (doubtful), or if it's buggy driver. (I'm using integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 with Mesa) - .config and .control are very minimal. Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>
* vo_opengl: rename fancy-downscaling to correct-downscalingwm42015-11-071-2/+2

* vo_opengl: implement NNEDI3 prescalerBin Jin2015-11-051-0/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement NNEDI3, a neural network based deinterlacer. The shader is reimplemented in GLSL and supports both 8x4 and 8x6 sampling window now. This allows the shader to be licensed under LGPL2.1 so that it can be used in mpv. The current implementation supports uploading the NN weights (up to 51kb with placebo setting) in two different way, via uniform buffer object or hard coding into shader source. UBO requires OpenGL 3.1, which only guarantee 16kb per block. But I find that 64kb seems to be a default setting for recent card/driver (which nnedi3 is targeting), so I think we're fine here (with default nnedi3 setting the size of weights is 9kb). Hard-coding into shader requires OpenGL 3.3, for the "intBitsToFloat()" built-in function. This is necessary to precisely represent these weights in GLSL. I tried several human readable floating point number format (with really high precision as for single precision float), but for some reason they are not working nicely, bad pixels (with NaN value) could be produced with some weights set. We could also add support to upload these weights with texture, just for compatibility reason (etc. upscaling a still image with a low end graphics card). But as I tested, it's rather slow even with 1D texture (we probably had to use 2D texture due to dimension size limitation). Since there is always better choice to do NNEDI3 upscaling for still image (vapoursynth plugin), it's not implemented in this commit. If this turns out to be a popular demand from the user, it should be easy to add it later. For those who wants to optimize the performance a bit further, the bottleneck seems to be: 1. overhead to upload and access these weights, (in particular, the shader code will be regenerated for each frame, it's on CPU though). 2. "dot()" performance in the main loop. 3. "exp()" performance in the main loop, there are various fast implementation with some bit tricks (probably with the help of the intBitsToFloat function). The code is tested with nvidia card and driver (355.11), on Linux. Closes #2230
* vo_opengl: add Super-xBR filter for upscalingBin Jin2015-11-051-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | Add the Super-xBR filter for image doubling, and the prescaling framework to support it. The shader code was ported from MPDN extensions project, with modification to process luma only. This commit is largely inspired by code from #2266, with `gl_transform_trans()` authored by @haasn taken directly.
* vo_opengl: win32: try to enable DwmFlush by defaultwm42015-11-011-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable it by default, but not unconditionally. Add an "auto" mode, which disable DwmFlush if the compositor is (probably) inactive. Let's see how this goes. Since I accidentally enabled DwmFlush always by default (more or less) in a previous commit touching this code, this is probably mostly just cargo-culting, and it's uncertain whether it does anything. Note that I still got bad vsync behavior when fullscreening mpv, and making another window visible on the same screen. This happens even if forcing DWM.
* vo_opengl: add vsync-fences optionwm42015-10-301-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Yet another relatively useless option that tries to make OpenGL's sync behavior somewhat sane. The results are not too encouraging. With a value of 1, vsync jitter is gone on nVidia, but there are frame drops (less than with glfinish). With 2, I get the usual vsync jitter _and_ frame drops. There's still some hope that it might prevent too deep queuing with some GPUs, I guess. The timeout for the wait call is 1 second. The value is pretty arbitrary; it should just not be too high to freeze the process (if the GPU is un-nice), and not too low to trigger the timeout in normal cases, even if the GPU load is very high. So I guess 1 second is ok as a timeout. The idea to use fences this way to control the queue depth was stolen from RetroArch: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/blob/df01279cf318e7ec90ace039d60515296e3de908/gfx/drivers/gl.c#L1856
* vo_opengl: make the default debanding settings less excessiveNiklas Haas2015-10-211-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | It's great that the new algorithm supports multiple placebo iterations and all, but it's really not necessary and hurts performance in the general case for the sake of the 0.1% that actually pause the screen and look for minute differences. Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>

* Revert "vo_x11: remove this video output"wm42015-09-301-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit d11184a256ed709a03fa94a4e3940eed1b76d76f. Unfortunately, there was a lot of unexpected resistance. Do note that this is still extremely slow, crappy, etc. Note that vo_x11.c was further edited. Compared to the removed vo_x11.c, an additional ~200 lines of code was removed in order to simplify it. I tried to strip it down as much as possible. In particular, support for odd non-32 bit formats (24, 16, 15, 8 bit) is dropped. Closes #2300.
* vo_opengl: remove sharpen scalers, add sharpen sub-optionwm42015-09-231-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | This turns the old scalers (inherited from MPlayer) into a pre- processing step (after color conversion and before scaling). The code for the "sharpen5" scaler is reused for this. The main reason MPlayer implemented this as scalers was perhaps because FBOs were too expensive, and making it a scaler allowed to implement this in 1 pass. But unsharp masking is not really a scaler, and I would guess the result is more like combining bilinear scaling and unsharp masking.
* vo_opengl: implement debanding (and remove source-shader)Niklas Haas2015-09-091-14/+33
| | | | | | | | | | The removal of source-shader is a side effect, since this effectively replaces it - and the video-reading code has been significantly restructured to make more sense and be more readable. This means users no longer have to constantly download and maintain a separate deband.glsl installation alongside mpv, which was the only real use case for source-shader that we found either way.
* vo_opengl: restore single pass optimization as separate code pathwm42015-09-071-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The single path optimization, rendering the video in one shader pass and without FBO indirections, was removed soem commits ago. It didn't have a place in this code, and caused considerable complexity and maintenance issues. On the other hand, it still has some worth, such as for use with extremely crappy hardware (GLES only or OpenGL 2.1 without FBO extension). Ideally, these use cases would be handled by a separate VO (say, vo_gles). While cleaner, this would still cause code duplication and other complexity. The third option is making the single-pass optimization a completely separate code path, with most vo_opengl features disabled. While this does duplicate some functionality (such as "unpacking" the video data from textures), it's also relatively unintrusive, and the high quality code path doesn't need to take it into account at all. On another positive node, this "dumb-mode" could be forced in other cases where OpenGL 2.1 is not enough, and where we don't want to care about versions this old.
* vo_opengl: require FBOs and get rid of the single-pass optimizationNiklas Haas2015-09-071-9/+8
| | | | | | | This change makes vo_opengl slightly less compatible (ancient devices without FBOs will no longer work) and decreases performance in the simplest case (vo=opengl), in exchange for significantly reducing code complexity and making everything easier to reason about.
* vo_opengl: enable pbo by default with opengl-hqwm42015-09-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Can significantly help with very large video resolutions on nvidia drivers. It doesn't seem to have negative effects on Intel drivers either. (Although it could have on Intel drivers for older hardware.) For now, this is only for --vo=opengl-hq. Maybe --vo=opengl should use it too, but it's still meant to be the crappy, fail-safe default.
* vo_opengl: add tscale-clamp optionNiklas Haas2015-08-201-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | This significantly reduces the amount of noticeable flashing when using tscale kernels with negative lobes, by cutting them off completely. I'm not sure if this has any negative effects. It needs a bit of subjective testing over a period of time, so I just made it an option. Fixes #2155.

* vo_opengl: adjust interpolation code for the new video-sync mechanismNiklas Haas2015-07-011-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This should make interpolation work much better in general, although there still might be some side effects for unusual framerates (eg. 35 Hz or 48 Hz). Most of the common framerates are tested and working fine. (24 Hz, 30 Hz, 60 Hz) The new code doesn't have support for oversample yet, so it's been removed (and will most likely be reimplemented in a cleaner way if there's enough demand). I would recommend using something like robidoux or mitchell instead of oversample, though - they're much smoother for the common cases.
* vo_x11: remove this video outputwm42015-06-261-6/+0
| | | | | | | It only causes additional maintenance work. Even if you wanted to have a fallback, it's probably better to use --vo=sdl or so.

* vo_opengl: CMS no longer implies linear scalingNiklas Haas2015-05-271-10/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | They're completely orthogonal concepts, merged in the past due to convenience and ease of implementing it in the old #ifdef hell renderer. Especially after the CMS stuff was generalized by 634b4a, this was a trivial change to implement and also means color management will be much higher quality when enabled with vo=opengl (which had quantization issues in the past due to the 8 bit FBO format and upscaling), since it can be done in a single pass now.
