/**
 * Overview
 * --------
 *
 * This API can be used to make mpv render using supported graphic APIs (such
 * as OpenGL). It can be used to handle video display.
 *
 * The renderer needs to be created with mpv_render_context_create() before
 * you start playback (or otherwise cause a VO to be created). Then (with most
 * backends) mpv_render_context_render() can be used to explicitly render the
 * current video frame. Use mpv_render_context_set_update_callback() to get
 * notified when there is a new frame to draw.
 *
 * Preferably rendering should be done in a separate thread. If you call
 * normal libmpv API functions on the renderer thread, deadlocks can result
 * (these are made non-fatal with timeouts, but user experience will obviously
 * suffer). See "Threading" section below.
 *
 * You can output and embed video without this API by setting the mpv "wid"
 * option to a native window handle (see "Embedding the video window" section
 * in the client.h header). In general, using the render API is recommended,
 * because window embedding can cause various issues, especially with GUI
 * toolkits and certain platforms.
 *
 * Supported backends
 * ------------------
 *
 * OpenGL: via MPV_RENDER_API_TYPE_OPENGL, see render_gl.h header.
 *
 * Threading
 * ---------
 *
 * You are recommended to do rendering on a separate thread than normal libmpv
 * use.
 *
 * The mpv_render_* functions can be called from any thread, under the
 * following conditions:
 *  - only one of the mpv_render_* functions can be called at the same time
 *    (unless they belong to different mpv cores created by mpv_create())
 *  - never can be called from within the callbacks set with
 *    mpv_set_wakeup_callback() or mpv_render_context_set_update_callback()
 *  - if the OpenGL backend is used, for all functions the OpenGL context
 *    must be "current" in the calling thread, and it must be the same OpenGL
 *    context as the mpv_render_context was created with. Otherwise, undefined
 *    behavior will occur.
 *  - the thread does not call libmpv API functions other than the mpv_render_*
 *    functions, except APIs which are declared as safe (see below). Likewise,
 *    there must be no lock or wait dependency from the render thread to a
 *    thread using other libmpv functions. Basically, the situation that your
 *    render thread waits for a "not safe" libmpv API function to return must
 *    not happen. If you ignore this requirement, deadlocks can happen, which
 *    are made non-fatal with timeouts; then playback quality will be degraded,
 *    and the message
 *          mpv_render_context_render() not being called or stuck.
 *    is logged. If you set MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ADVANCED_CONTROL, you promise that
 *    this won't happen, and must absolutely guarantee it, or a real deadlock
 *    will freeze the mpv core thread forever.
 *
 * libmpv functions which are safe to call from a render thread are:
 *  - functions marked with "Safe to be called from mpv render API threads."
 *  - client.h functions which don't have an explicit or implicit mpv_handle
 *    parameter
 *  - mpv_render_* functions; but only for the same mpv_render_context pointer.
 *    If the pointer is different, mpv_render_context_free() is not safe. (The
 *    reason is that if MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ADVANCED_CONTROL is set, it may have
 *    to process still queued requests from the core, which it can do only for
 *    the current context, while requests for other contexts would deadlock.
 *    Also, it may have to wait and block for the core to terminate the video
 *    chain to make sure no resources are used after context destruction.)
 *  - if the mpv_handle parameter refers to a different mpv core than the one
 *    you're rendering for (very obscure, but allowed)
 *
 * Note about old libmpv version:
 *
 *      Before API version 1.105 (basically in mpv 0.29.x), simply enabling
 *      MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ADVANCED_CONTROL could cause deadlock issues. This can
 *      be worked around by setting the "vd-lavc-dr" option to "no".
 *      In addition, you were required to call all mpv_render*() API functions
 *      from the same thread on which mpv_render_context_create() was originally
 *      run (for the same the mpv_render_context). Not honoring it led to UB
 *      (deadlocks, use of invalid pthread_t handles), even if you moved your GL
 *      context to a different thread correctly.
 *      These problems were addressed in API version 1.105 (mpv 0.30.0).
 *
 * Context and handle lifecycle
 * ----------------------------
 *
 * Video initialization will fail if the render context was not initialized yet
 * (with mpv_render_context_create()), or it will revert to a VO that creates
 * its own window.
 *
 * Currently, there can be only 1 mpv_render_context at a time per mpv core.
 *
 * Calling mpv_render_context_free() while a VO is using the render context is
 * active will disable video.
 *
 * You must free the context with mpv_render_context_free() before the mpv core
 * is destroyed. If this doesn't happen, undefined behavior will result.

     *    See "Threading" section.
     *  - The callback set with mpv_render_context_set_update_callback() can now
     *    be called even if there is no new frame. The API user should call the
     *    mpv_render_context_update() function, and interpret the return value
     *    for whether a new frame should be rendered.
     *  - Correct functionality is impossible if the update callback is not set,
     *    or not set soon enough after mpv_render_context_create() (the core can
     *    block while waiting for you to call mpv_render_context_update(), and
     *    if the update callback is not correctly set, it will deadlock, or
     *    block for too long).
     *
     * In general, setting this option will enable the following features (and
     * possibly more):
     *
     *  - "Direct rendering", which means the player decodes directly to a
     *    texture, which saves a copy per video frame ("vd-lavc-dr" option
     *    needs to be enabled, and the rendering backend as well as the
     *    underlying GPU API/driver needs to have support for it).
     *  - Rendering screenshots with the GPU API if supported by the backend
     *    (instead of using a suboptimal software fallback via libswscale).
     *
     * Warning: do not just add this without reading the "Threading" section
     *          above, and then wondering that deadlocks happen. The
     *          requirements are tricky. But also note that even if advanced
     *          control is disabled, not adhering to the rules will lead to
     *          playback problems. Enabling advanced controls simply makes

 * and _not_ from the update callback itself).
 *
 * This is optional if MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ADVANCED_CONTROL was not set (default).
 * Otherwise, it's a hard requirement that this is called after each update
 * callback. If multiple update callback happened, and the function could not
 * be called sooner, it's OK to call it once after the last callback.
 *
 * If an update callback happens during or after this function, the function
 * must be called again at the soonest possible time.
 *
 * If MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ADVANCED_CONTROL was set, this will do additional work
 * such as allocating textures for the video decoder.
 *
 * @return a bitset of mpv_render_update_flag values (i.e. multiple flags are
 *         combined with bitwise or). Typically, this will tell the API user
 *         what should happen next. E.g. if the MPV_RENDER_UPDATE_FRAME flag is
 *         set, mpv_render_context_render() should be called. If flags unknown
 *         to the API user are set, or if the return value is 0, nothing needs
 *         to be done.

 * applied to determine which part of the video should be visible and how the
 * video should be scaled. You can change these options at runtime by using the
 * mpv property API.
 *
 * The renderer will reconfigure itself every time the target surface
 * configuration (such as size) is changed.
 *
 * This function implicitly pulls a video frame from the internal queue and
 * renders it. If no new frame is available, the previous frame is redrawn.
 * The update callback set with mpv_render_context_set_update_callback()
 * notifies you when a new frame was added. The details potentially depend on
 * the backends and the provided parameters.
 *
 * Generally, libmpv will invoke your update callback some time before the video
 * frame should be shown, and then lets this function block until the supposed
 * display time. This will limit your rendering to video FPS. You can prevent
 * this by setting the "video-timing-offset" global option to 0. (This applies
 * only to "audio" video sync mode.)
 *
 * You should pass the following parameters:
 *  - Backend-specific target object, such as MPV_RENDER_PARAM_OPENGL_FBO.
 *  - Possibly transformations, such as MPV_RENDER_PARAM_FLIP_Y.
 *
 * @param ctx a valid render context
 * @param params an array of parameters, terminated by type==0. Which parameters
 *               are required depends on the backend. It's left unspecified what
