Add support for Nvidia's VDPAU #113

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Nvidia has developed a new technology for their beta 180.* series drivers
that allows for full video acceleration with Nvidia 8 series+ video cards,
as well as patches to Mplayer in order to support this.

It'd be great to see future support for VDPAU in gnome-mplayer, as the GPU
will fully offload the decoding of video and leave the CPU free for other
tasks.

There is more information in Nvidia linux's forums, I'm not really too
familiar with it all but I can currently play videos with a patched Mplayer
from the command line, by using the following commands:

MPEG:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffmpeg12vdpau video.mpg

H.264:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau video.mkv

WMV3:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffwmv3vdpau video.wmv

VC-1:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffvc1vdpau video.wmv

Ok, I have made some patches and committed them to SVN but I was unable to test 
them
since I don't have the hardware. So if you could test that would be 
appreciated. If
you find a file that does not work, but should please run mplayer from the 
command
line like this and send the output.

mplayer -identify -frames 0 [filename]

Thanks! I will try to test as much as I can once I get home.

I checked out the latest revision and tried setting the video output as VDPAU. 
While
.avi files played as they should (since they're not accelerated by VDPAU), .mkv 
files
would not play at all.

I ran the following command (which plays .mkv files through VDPAU correctly) and
added the -identify and -frames 0 you mentioned:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau -identify -frames 0 video.mkv

And here is the output:

Hi, just to give some comparison to the output above - I ran gnome-mplayer -v 
from
the command line and I'm submitting it's output as well. I'm not really sure 
what's
wrong, but perhaps gnome-mplayer is not adding the -vo vdpau correctly.

Here's gnome-mplayer -v:

Can you please rerun the identify stage exactly as requested? Without the vo 
and vc
options. Also, please post your ~/.mplayer/config file. It is possible that the 
vdpau
vo does not like being embedded in a window and if that is the case, we'll need 
to
get that fixed in mplayer.

I did add a couple of filters to the code, so you might want to pull that and 
see if
it helps. Can you try a DVD and see if that works?

Ok, I ran it without vo and vc options. However, without these options, it 
seems that
it uses ID_VIDEO_CODEC=ffh264 instead of ID_VIDEO_CODEC=ffh264vdpau and video 
is not
accelerated.

I also grabbed the latest gnome-mplayer SVN and .mkv's still won't play.
I'm sorry that I can't currently test DVD's, since my DVD drive hasn't been 
working
for a few days.

Here is the output of running mplayer -identify -frames 0 video.mkv (my
.mplayer/config file is at the bottom as well):

I'll need you to remove the line 'vf=eq2' from the .mplayer/config file. The
preference editor removes this automatically now. Also what is the 'dr=yes' 
option? I
would suggest removing it.

I wanted to see what the non-accelerated case was so that I would know how to 
turn on
the acceleration. 

Please make those changes and retest.

Yeah, I think we are out of luck on this one. Without the hardware to test I 
really
can't see what is going on. I have a feeling that the vdpau vo is not 
compatible with
being embedded in a window. This is not an uncommon problem with mplayer vo's 
so this
would not be the first time this has happened. You can test this theory by 
commenting
out lines 810-812 in thread.c

Change
    argv[arg++] = g_strdup_printf("-wid");
    player_window = get_player_window();
    argv[arg++] = g_strdup_printf("0x%x", player_window);

to

//    argv[arg++] = g_strdup_printf("-wid");
//    player_window = get_player_window();
//    argv[arg++] = g_strdup_printf("0x%x", player_window);

And see if it works then. If it does then a bug will have to be opened with the
mplayer team.

You also might test gnome-mplayer with the --reallyverbose option and see if 
that
gives anything interesting.

I commented the lines you mentioned and recompiled. The files still won't play,
although you are most likely right. Perhaps it'd be best to leave the bug open 
for
the future and wait until Mplayer officially merges Nvidia's patches and work 
out any
kinks that are preventing gnome-mplayer from fully supporting VDPAU.

Although I do have the hardware required for VDPAU, I can't be of much help as I
don't have the technical knowledge to understand Nvidia's VDPAU specifications 
or its
limitations. 

I am attaching the output for gnome-mplayer --reallyverbose after commenting  
just in
case it can be of any help:

Can you try a couple of these mplayer command line

mplayer -vo vdpau -ao pulse -vc ffh264vdpau -slave -identify
-mixer-channel Master,0 -noconsolecontrols -osdlevel 1 -nomouseinput -nocache 
-ass
-embeddedfonts -ass-font-scale 1.0 -ass-color ffffff00

mplayer -vo vdpau -ao pulse -vc ffh264vdpau -slave -identify
-mixer-channel Master,0 -noconsolecontrols -nocache 
/media/Storage/video.mkv 

And let me know if any of those work... perhaps it is some combination

ok, this is helpful. In gnome-mplayer go to the preferences tab and go to the
subtitle page and uncheck Alpha Substation support. And see if gnome-mplayer 
then works.

I disabled that setting but it still wouldn't play. This is the command that
gnome-mplayer used:

mplayer -profile gnome-mplayer -vc ffh264vdpau -vf-pre spp,scale -quiet -slave
-identify -mixer-channel Master,0 -noconsolecontrols -osdlevel 1 -nomouseinput
-nocache -wid 0x2c00b30 -subfont-text-scale 5 -vf-add screenshot 
/media/Storage/video.mkv

I ran that same command on the terminal and the file wouldn't play either.
Afterwards, I changed it a bit and I found out that removing -vf-add 
screenshot, -wid
0x2c00b30 and -vf-pre spp,scale would allow the file to play.

I've also attached the --reallyverbose output of the failed attempt:

Ok, made a patch removing the filters... only think I can't remove is the wid 
option.
So give SVN a try and report back.

I just tried playing the .mkv file and it played just as expected. It was 
accelerated
through VDPAU and there was hardly any CPU usage. The only major drawback for 
me is
that ASS has to remain disabled for it to work.

I also hooked up an old DVD drive and tested a random DVD I had and I can 
confirm
that VDPAU is also working with MPEG, as follows:
VO: [vdpau] 720x576 => 1024x576 MPEG2 MAIN VDPAU acceleration

Another minor issue I noticed is that sometimes there is some visual garbage at 
the
top of the video being played, but resizing or using fullscreen corrects it
immediately. This is probably an issue with Nvidia and not gnome-mplayer's, so 
maybe
you don't need to worry about it.

Thanks a lot for your work so far! This is relatively new technology and you've
provided support for it very quickly.

I've done some further testing, and pretty much every file I was able to play 
through
the command line can also be played through gnome-mplayer's VDPAU. It's a shame 
ASS
and taking screenshots aren't currently compatible with it, but hopefully when
Nvidia's code matures those features can be added back.

Excellent, it appears that xvmc and vdpau both have issues with filters so this 
is
good to know.

I will close this now.
