* Revert "sub: support straight alpha additionally to premultiplied alpha"wm42013-08-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 689a25003fc8098e5fdfbb2faefc0e18365d3acb, with some adjustments to code that was added after that commit. I just messed up big time. We don't need this, and in fact the commit confused straight and premultiplied alpha at one point (just a simple inverted condition due to an oversight), which is why it looked like it was working. In commit 2827295 I wrote: Also, libva can't decide whether it accepts straight or premultiplied alpha for OSD sub-pictures [...] That was just me messing up and being severely confused by my own bugs. VA API uses premultiplied alpha, which by the way is nice and thoughtful of the VA API devs. Well, this was stupid. But in the end, I'm glad that I could actually reduce codesize by a good amount again.
* video: add vaapi decode and output supportwm42013-08-121-0/+1054
This is based on the MPlayer VA API patches. To be exact it's based on a very stripped down version of commit f1ad459a263f8537f6c from git://gitorious.org/vaapi/mplayer.git. This doesn't contain useless things like benchmarking hacks and the demo code for GLX interop. Also, unlike in the original patch, decoding and video output are split into separate source files (the separation between decoding and display also makes pixel format hacks unnecessary). On the other hand, some features not present in the original patch were added, like screenshot support. VA API is rather bad for actual video output. Dealing with older libva versions or the completely broken vdpau backend doesn't help. OSD is low quality and should be rather slow. In some cases, only either OSD or subtitles can be shown at the same time (because OSD is drawn first, OSD is prefered). Also, libva can't decide whether it accepts straight or premultiplied alpha for OSD sub-pictures: the vdpau backend seems to assume premultiplied, while a native vaapi driver uses straight. So I picked straight alpha. It doesn't matter much, because the blending code for straight alpha I added to img_convert.c is probably buggy, and ASS subtitles might be blended incorrectly. Really good video output with VA API would probably use OpenGL and the GL interop features, but at this point you might just use vo_opengl. (Patches for making HW decoding with vo_opengl have a chance of being accepted.) Despite these issues, decoding seems to work ok. I still got tearing on the Intel system I tested (Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2350M). It was also tested with the vdpau vaapi wrapper on a nvidia system; however this was rather broken. (Fortunately, there is no reason to use mpv's VAAPI support over native VDPAU.)
