* vf_format: add gross mechanism for forcing scaler for testingwm42020-04-131-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | This sucks, but is helpful for testing. Obviously, it would be much nicer if there were a way to specify _all_ scaler options per filter (if the user wanted), instead of always using the global options. But this is "too hard" for now. For testing, it is extremely convenient to select the scaler backend, so add this option, but make clear that it could go away. We'd delete it once there is a better mechanism for this.
* f_autoconvert: remove subfmt conversion BSwm42020-01-171-1/+1
| | | | | | This was used to convert e.g. P010 to NV12 within the filter chain, which hopefully a thing that is not needed anymore. (And has been dead code since the ANGLE "RGB" interop code was removed.)
* filters: extend vf_format so that it can convert color parameterswm42019-10-211-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Form some reason (and because of my fault), vf_format converts image formats, but nothing else. For example, setting the "colormatrix" sub-parameter would not convert it to the new value, but instead overwrite the metadata (basically "reinterpreting" the image data without changing it). Make the historical mistake worse, and go all the way and extend it such that it can perform a conversion. For compatibility reasons, this needs to be requested explicitly. (Maybe this would deserve a separate filter to begin with, but things are messed up anyway. Feel free to suggest an elegant and simple solution.) This demonstrates how zimg can properly perform some conversions which swscale cannot (see examples added to vf.rst). Stupidly this requires 2 code paths, one for conversion, and one for overriding the parameters. Due to the filter bullshit (what was I thinking), this requires quite some acrobatics that would not be necessary without these abstractions. On the other hand, it'd definitely be more of a mess without it. Oh whatever.
* vf_d3d11vpp: remove RGB conversion hackwm42019-10-161-8/+1
| | | | | | | With the previous commit, this is dead code. This also makes the f_autoconvert.c code for this dead code (fortunately). Will probably remove this later.
* f_autoconvert: provide a function to determine if conversion workswm42019-10-021-0/+13
| | | | | | This adds the function as seen in the f_autoconvert.h part of the patch. It's pretty simple, but goes along with an intrusive code move. I guess the resulting code is slightly nicer anyway.
* f_autoconvert: add hw->sw download pathwm42019-10-021-0/+7
| | | | | For some reason it could do sw->sw and sw->hw (and, in some ways, even do hw->hw in special cases), but not hw->sw. Add this.
* audio: change format negotiation, remove channel remix fudgingwm42018-04-151-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The audio format neogitation code was pretty complicated, although the idea was simple: when the format changes (or on the first audio frame), filter only the new frame through the entire filter chain, discard the resulting frame, but use the format to initialize the AO. This was useful for "fudging" the channel remix behavior (upmix or downmix), and moving it before other filters. Apparently this was useful for things like DRC filters, which might work better in stereo, and which also can only achieve the desired volume levels by doing it before a downmix, which would modify the volume. This mechanism was introduced in commit 60048b7eb957b (which the commit message also describes as "idiotic heuristic"). Knowing the output format is inherently necessary for this, because otherwise we can't know what the hell the user defined filters will do. There were problems with robustness. Some filters needed more than one frame. Resampling in particular would discard initial audio at high resampling ratios. Some filters might drop audio intentionally (like clipping data on timestamp ranges). There were also allegations that some decoders output 0 length frames (although that is invalid in libavcodec). The state machine was excessively complex and hard to understand too. There are 3 things that could have been done: 1. Fix robustness problems by doing more heuristics, like repeating audio frames or simply decoding several frames. Since filters can behave differently, this would have added lots of complexity. 2. Make use of libavfilter's format negotiation, and add the same to mpv builtin filters. This is sort of annoying, because the format negotiation in libavfilter changes the state of the filters. It also reports only some parameters (mostly all for audio, but a lot of holes for video). It would remove some of the state machine, but not all. 3. Drop the channel remix fudging, and do the same as the video chain. This would not require format negotiation, but instead you can just filter the audio frames, and look what comes out of it. If nothing comes out, simply never create an AO. This commit selects option 3. It removes the remix fudging, which means the loss of a feature. Users can instead add "--af=format=channels=2" before their DRC filter, or something. I'm also considering changing the default for --audio-channels back to stereo, and downmix in the decoder or at the start of the filter chain, which would give the same results, except requiring more configuration. Implementation-wise, this is still a bit different from the video path. The VO always remains the same instance, while the AO might have to be recreated on configuration changes. This still requires explicit format change handling + draining old data, but by putting it into f_autoconvert, not much new code is needed.
* audio: rewrite filtering glue codewm42018-01-301-0/+11
| | | | Use the new filtering code for audio too.
* video: rewrite filtering glue codewm42018-01-301-0/+39
Get rid of the old vf.c code. Replace it with a generic filtering framework, which can potentially handle more than just --vf. At least reimplementing --af with this code is planned. This changes some --vf semantics (including runtime behavior and the "vf" command). The most important ones are listed in interface-changes. vf_convert.c is renamed to f_swscale.c. It is now an internal filter that can not be inserted by the user manually. f_lavfi.c is a refactor of player/lavfi.c. The latter will be removed once --lavfi-complex is reimplemented on top of f_lavfi.c. (which is conceptually easy, but a big mess due to the data flow changes). The existing filters are all changed heavily. The data flow of the new filter framework is different. Especially EOF handling changes - EOF is now a "frame" rather than a state, and must be passed through exactly once. Another major thing is that all filters must support dynamic format changes. The filter reconfig() function goes away. (This sounds complex, but since all filters need to handle EOF draining anyway, they can use the same code, and it removes the mess with reconfig() having to predict the output format, which completely breaks with libavfilter anyway.) In addition, there is no automatic format negotiation or conversion. libavfilter's primitive and insufficient API simply doesn't allow us to do this in a reasonable way. Instead, filters can use f_autoconvert as sub-filter, and tell it which formats they support. This filter will in turn add actual conversion filters, such as f_swscale, to perform necessary format changes. vf_vapoursynth.c uses the same basic principle of operation as before, but with worryingly different details in data flow. Still appears to work. The hardware deint filters (vf_vavpp.c, vf_d3d11vpp.c, vf_vdpaupp.c) are heavily changed. Fortunately, they all used refqueue.c, which is for sharing the data flow logic (especially for managing future/past surfaces and such). It turns out it can be used to factor out most of the data flow. Some of these filters accepted software input. Instead of having ad-hoc upload code in each filter, surface upload is now delegated to f_autoconvert, which can use f_hwupload to perform this. Exporting VO capabilities is still a big mess (mp_stream_info stuff). The D3D11 code drops the redundant image formats, and all code uses the hw_subfmt (sw_format in FFmpeg) instead. Although that too seems to be a big mess for now. f_async_queue is unused.
