* drm/atomic: refactor hwdec_drmprime_drm with native resourcesLongChair2018-05-011-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | That new API was introduced and allows to have several native resources. Thisuses that mechanisma for drm resources rather than the deprecated opengl-cb structs. This patch therefore add two structs that can be used with the drm atomic interop. - mpv_opengl_drm_params : which will hold all the drm handles - mpv_opengl_drm_osd_size : which will hold osd layer size This commit adds a drm-osd-size=WxH parameter to commandline which allows to define the OSD plane dimension. OSD can be upscaled to screen resolution when having OSD at video resolution is too heavy. This is especially useful for UHD modes on embedded devices where the GPU cannot handle UHD modes at a decent framerate.
* client API: some doxygen clarificationswm42018-04-291-0/+11
| | | | | | | Strictly speaking redundant, but probably helpful. In particular I want to push MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ADVANCED_CONTROL. Not enabling this parameter is actually not very sane.
* client API: add some render API extensions for timingwm42018-04-291-5/+146
| | | | | | | | | | | | Attempts to enable the following things: - let a render API user do "proper" audio-sync video timing itself - make it possible to not re-render repeated frames if the API user has better mechanisms available (e.g. waiting for a DisplayLink cycle instead) - allow the user to delay or skip redraws if it makes sense Basically this information will be needed by API users who want to be "clever" about optimizing timing and rendering.
* client API: preparations for allowing render API to use DR etc.wm42018-04-291-1/+104
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DR (letting the decoder allocate texture memory) requires running the allocation on the render thread. This is rather hard with the render API, because the user controls this thread and when it's entered. It was not possible until now. This commit adds a bunch of infrastructure to make this possible. We add a new optional mode (MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ADVANCED_CONTROL) which basically lets the user's render thread and libmpv agree how this should be done. Misuse would lead to deadlocks. To make this less likely, strictly document thread safety/locking issues. In particular, document which libmpv functions can be called without issues. (The rest has to be assumed unsafe.) The worst issue is destruction of the render context while video is still active. To avoid certain unintended recursive locks (i.e. deadlocks, unless we'd make the locks recursive), make the update callback lock separate. Make "killing" the video chain asynchronous, so we can do extra work while video is being destroyed. Because losing wakeups is a big deal, setting the update callback now triggers a wakeup. (It would have been better if the wakeup callback were a parameter to mpv_render_context_create(), but too late.) This commit does not add DR yet; the following commit does this.
* client API: minor clarificationwm42018-04-201-2/+2
| | | | This was a bit confusing.
* client API: clarify that Display pointers etc. need to stay validwm42018-04-161-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Normally, MPV_RENDER_PARAM* arguments are copied, unless documented otherwise. Of course we can't copy X11 Display or Wayland wl_display types, but for arguments that are "summarized" in a struct (like MPV_RENDER_PARAM_OPENGL_FBO), a copy is expected. Also add some unused infrastructure to make this explicit, and to make it easier to add parameter types that require a copy. Untested.
* client API: add a new way to pass X11 Display etc. to render APIwm42018-03-261-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hardware decoding things often need access to additional handles from the windowing system, such as the X11 or Wayland display when using vaapi. The opengl-cb had nothing dedicated for this, and used the weird GL_MP_MPGetNativeDisplay GL extension (which was mpv specific and not officially registered with OpenGL). This was awkward, and a pain due to having to emulate GL context behavior (like needing a TLS variable to store context for the pseudo GL extension function). In addition (and not inherently due to this), we could pass only one resource from mpv builtin context backends to hwdecs. It was also all GL specific. Replace this with a newer mechanism. It works for all RA backends, not just GL. the API user can explicitly pass the objects at init time via mpv_render_context_create(). Multiple resources are naturally possible. The API uses MPV_RENDER_PARAM_* defines, but internally we use strings. This is done for 2 reasons: 1. trying to leave libmpv and internal mechanisms decoupled, 2. not having to add public API for some of the internal resource types (especially D3D/GL interop stuff). To remain sane, drop support for obscure half-working opengl-cb things, like the DRM interop (was missing necessary things), the RPI window thing (nobody used it), and obscure D3D interop things (not needed with ANGLE, others were undocumented). In order not to break ABI and the C API, we don't remove the associated structs from opengl_cb.h. The parts which are still needed (in particular DRM interop) needs to be ported to the render API.
* video: add an option to tune waiting for video timingwm42018-03-151-0/+6
| | | | Probably mostly useful for the libmpv render API.
* client API: deprecate opengl-cb API and introduce a replacement APIwm42018-02-281-0/+309
The purpose of the new API is to make it useable with other APIs than OpenGL, especially D3D11 and vulkan. In theory it's now possible to support other vo_gpu backends, as well as backends that don't use the vo_gpu code at all. This also aims to get rid of the dumb mpv_get_sub_api() function. The life cycle of the new mpv_render_context is a bit different from mpv_opengl_cb_context, and you explicitly create/destroy the new context, instead of calling init/uninit on an object returned by mpv_get_sub_api(). In other to make the render API generic, it's annoyingly EGL style, and requires you to pass in API-specific objects to generic functions. This is to avoid explicit objects like the internal ra API has, because that sounds more complicated and annoying for an API that's supposed to never change. The opengl_cb API will continue to exist for a bit longer, but internally there are already a few tradeoffs, like reduced thread-safety. Mostly untested. Seems to work fine with mpc-qt.
