VFlip nigthmare

[neosettler]

Greetings,

Coming back to a (presumably) bug that has been introduced in 3.0.0, I'm hoping to find salvation with 3.0.3... no luck so far.

While LibVLC (on Windows) had no problem with this feature, vflip on 3.x just doesn't want to work.

Code: Select all

const Char *l_args[] = { "--video-filter=transform", "--transform-type=vflip", }; m_VLC_Instance = libvlc_new(sizeof(l_args) / sizeof(l_args[0]), l_args);

return Unsupported pixel size 0 (chroma DX11) with 3.x.

and

Code: Select all

libvlc_media_add_option(m_VLC_Media, ":video-filter=transform"); libvlc_media_add_option(m_VLC_Media, ":transform-type=vflip");

...is completely ignored and doesn't work either.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Disable hardware acceleration.

[neosettler]

Hell JB, thank yo for your input.

In both cases, same results.

Code: Select all

const Char *l_args[] = { "--avcodec-hw=none", "--video-filter=transform", "--transform-type=vflip", }; m_VLC_Instance = libvlc_new(sizeof(l_args) / sizeof(l_args[0]), l_args);

return Unsupported pixel size 0 (chroma DX11) with 3.x.

and

Code: Select all

libvlc_media_add_option(m_VLC_Media, ":video-filter=transform"); libvlc_media_add_option(m_VLC_Media, ":transform-type=vflip"); libvlc_media_add_option(m_VLC_Media, ":avcodec-hw=none");

...is completely ignored and doesn't work either.

Any other ideas?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

DX11 means you have hardware acceleration.

[neosettler]

hummm… --avcodec-hw=none should disable hardware acceleration , yes?

In any case, would disabling hardware acceleration has an impact on performance, especially with 4k playback? Seems like a dirty hack.

Is there any other reason that comes to mind why the vflip works fine on 2.x and not on 3.x version?

Because 2.x does not have hw acceleration by default, but 3.x has

Oh, I see, thank you.

It turns out that the vflip works without a glitch but I get this error when rendering to texture. "--avcodec-hw=none" has no effect.

My setup is fairly complex and it might be overkill to post it all. In a nut shell I use:

Code: Select all

libvlc_video_set_format_callbacks(m_VLC_Player, VideoLandMovie::CallbackSetup, VideoLandMovie::CallbackCleanup); libvlc_video_set_callbacks(m_VLC_Player, VideoLandMovie::CallbackLock, VideoLandMovie::CallbackUnLock, VideoLandMovie::CallbackDisplay, this);

My guess is that the chroma might be the wrong type here:

Code: Select all

unsigned VideoLandMovie::CallbackSetup(void **in_data, char *in_chroma, unsigned *in_width, unsigned *in_height, unsigned *in_pitches, unsigned *in_lines) { VideoLandMovie *l_movie = reinterpret_cast<VideoLandMovie*>(*in_data); unsigned l_w = (*in_width); unsigned l_h = (*in_height); (*in_pitches) = l_w * l_movie->GetChannelCount(); (*in_lines) = l_h; if (l_movie->GetChannelCount() == 3) { memcpy(in_chroma, "RV24", 4); } else if (l_movie->GetChannelCount() == 4) { memcpy(in_chroma, "RV32", 4); } l_movie->CreatePixels(l_w, l_h); return 1; }

My knowledge on video compression is quite limited, what chroma would you suggest?

Thank you,

Hello,

Still hoping for a piece of advice if it is not too much to ask. I'd really like to migrate to 3.0 but I'm enable to move forward without a fix.

There is definitely something that has been broken in 3.0 regarding transformation. I'm guessing the command line options are at fault but I might be taking crazy pills.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

As I explained, it fails because of hardware decoding.

[neosettler]

humm, in that case, --avcodec-hw=none should solve the issue right? Unfortunately, it doesn't. What I'm I missing?

Salut Jean-Baptiste, sorry for the delay, I missed your last reply.

here is the log when opening video:

In any case, I'd be interested in knowing if anyone had the same issue or I'm taking crazy pills. This is quite annoying in a 3D pipeline where videos are flipped especially in shaders. I thought of flipping the images coming from the FreeImage library but flipping all the images at load time is rather costly... and, flipping the 3D models UVs bring an undesirable overhead also. I'm still hopping for a fix here. Please let me know whenever this issue might be looked at. I'd be happy to help out in any way I can. Thank you for your support.

You do realize that VLC will effectively memory copy each frame in CPU to do the vertical flip? If you care about performance, do the flip in the 3D engine - and also don't use the video callbacks which require copying video to main RAM.

Hi Remi, thank you for your feedback. I wasn't aware of the flip overhead indeed. Good to know!

AFAIK, the video callbacks are necessary to render to a texture. Texture that could be applied to a 3d mesh like a sphere for 360 rendering. I'd be interested if you could elaborate on this a little.

Having to flip it myself, I'd use this function:

Code: Select all

void Image::FlipVertical() { if (m_Width == 0 || m_Height == 0) { return; } UInt l_widthSize = m_Width * m_ChannelCount; UInt l_dataSize = l_widthSize * m_Height; UChar *l_temp = NULL; UChar *l_data = new UChar[l_dataSize]; Memory::Copy(l_data, m_Pixels, l_dataSize); for (UInt y = 0; y < m_Height; ++y) { l_temp = m_Pixels + (m_Height - 1 - y) * l_widthSize; ZMemory::Copy(l_temp, l_data + y * l_widthSize, l_widthSize); } DeleteArray(l_data); }

Any feedback would be more than welcome.
