Commit a1584b6 caused big performance drop if the downstream element
is not a msdk element because it is very slow to read data from video
memory directly.
This reverts commit a1584b6f99.
The codec profile should be consistent with the frame fourcc code, this
fixes pipeline below:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! \
video/x-raw,width=320,height=240,format=P010_10LE ! msdkvp9enc ! \
fakesink
The frame width and height is rounded up to 128 and 32 since commit
8daac1c, so the width, height for initialization should be rounded up to
128 and 32 too because the MSDK VP9 encoder will do some check on width
and height.
Sample pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! \
video/x-raw,width=320,height=240,format=NV12 ! msdkvp9enc ! fakesink
Renegotiation was implemented for bitrate change. We can re-use
the same sequence when video info changes except that this can be
executed right away when receiving the new input format. I.e. no
need to wait for the next call to handle_frame.
The block that sets use_video_memory flag is after the
the condition `if gst_msdk_context_prepare` but it
always returns false when there is no other msdk elements.
So the decoder ends up with use_video_memory as FALSE.
Note that msdkvpp always set use_video_memory as TRUE.
When use_video_memory is FALSE then the msdkdec allocates
the output frames with posix_memalign (see gstmsdksystemmemory.c).
The result is then copied back to the GstVideoPool's buffers
(or to the downstream pool's buffers if any).
When use_video_memory is TRUE then the msdkdec uses vaCreateSurfaces
to create vaapi surfaces for the hw decoder to decode into
(see gstmsdkvideomemory.c). The result is then copied to either
the internal GstVideoPool and to the downstream pool if any.
(vaDeriveImage/vaMapBuffer is used in order to read the surfaces)
Use boolean instead of GstFlowReturn as declared.
Note that since base class does not check return value of GstVideoDecoder::flush(),
this would not cause any change of behavior.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/merge_requests/924
is trying to use video memory for decoding on Linux, which reveals a
hidden bug in msdkdec.
For video memory, it is possible that a locked mfx surface is not used
indeed and it will be un-locked later in MSDK, so we have to check the
associated MSDK surface to find out and free un-used surfaces, otherwise
it is easy to exhaust all pre-allocated mfx surfaces and get errors below:

Note the sample code in MSDK does similar thing in
CBuffering::SyncFrameSurfaces()
Otherwise GstVideoDecoder is not finalized and
resources are leaked.
Somehow GST_TRACERS="leaks" GST_DEBUG="GST_TRACER:7" did not catch it.

An issue can be seen when using msdkh265enc with bitrate change in
playing state. The root cause is the corresponding plugin is loaded
again.
Returning MFX_ERR_UNDEFINED_BEHAVIOR from MSDK just means the plugin has
been loaded, so we may ignore this error when doing configuation again
in the sub class, otherwise the pipeline will be interrupted
In theory it should not happen but it happened to me
in some cases where it failed to allocate some video
buffers so this was a consequence of a corner case.
Better to be safe than sorry.
Can happen if the oldest frame is the current frame
and if gst_video_decoder_finish_frame failed in which
case the current is unref and then drop instead of
just drop.
This patch also removes some assumptions, it was strange
to call unref and finish_frame in gst_msdkdec_finish_task.
In principle when owning a frame, the code should either
unref, or drop or finish.
The for loop in gst_msdkdec_handle_frame is error prone
about how it manages surfaces. Because sometimes it sets
the surface variable to NULL and sometimes it needs to free
it right away. So better to print an error if surfaces are
leaked to help with any change around the loop.
msdk plugin is not used for sofware encode/decode as there are better
solutions available. Also, with MFX_IMPL_AUTO_ANY, if software decode
is not supported, the plugin will still load, but will then fail when trying to
run the (autoplugged) pipeline. With MFX_IMPL_HARDWARE_ANY,
the plugin fails and a better software decoder is auto-plugged.
Can be reproduced with:
videotestsrc ! x264enc key-int-max=$N ! \
h264parse ! msdkh264dec ! fakesink sync=1
It happens with any gop size but the smaller is the distance N
between key frames, the quicker it is leaking.
Fixes#1023
In case of pkg-config we need to create the include directories object
from the path using include_directories(). For INTELMEDIASDKROOT or
MFX_HOME we need to add the alternate include path ./include/mfx as
Intel MediaSDK now puts the headers there.
In future, a sub class of GstMsdkEncClass may decide a native format by
using this method, e.g. JPEG encoder may accept YUY2 input, however the
current implemation needs a conversion from YUY2 to NV12 before encoding.
In addtion, a sub class may choose a format for encoding if the input
format is not supported by MSDK, e.g. the current implemation does
UYVY->NV12 if the input format is UYVY. We may do UYVY->YUY2 for JPEG
encoder in future
MFX_FOURCC_BGR4 is mapped to VA_FOURCC_ABGR and JPEG encoder needs a
MFX_FOURCC_BGR4 frame for internal usage when the input format is
MFX_FOURCC_RGB4
This is a preparation for supporting native formats of JPEG encoder
Instead of using a proxy of `is_packetized` flag this patch
replaces it with the accessor to that flag in decoder base class,
avoiding probable mismatches.
commit 55c0d720 added the capability to handle non-packetized bitstream,
and there is a loop to handle multiple frames in a non-packetized buffer
in gst_msdkdec_handle_frame. However it is possible that a
non-packetized buffer still contains valid data but there is no long any
pending unfinished frame. Currently gst_video_decoder_decode_frame is
invoked to send a new frame with new input data, the situaltion is
repeated till an EOS is received. An application has to exit when
receiving an EOS, however there is still valid data in a
non-packetezied input buffer, hence some frames are dropped.
This fix adds a parse callback for non-packeteized input, a new frame
will be sent to the subclass as soon as the input buffer has valid data
This fixes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/issues/665
Upon bitrate change, make sure to close the encoder otherwise
the encoder is not re-initialized and the target bitrate is
never reached, and the encoder was flushed at each frame
from this moment.
Regression introduced in f2b35abcab which replaced the call
that was closing the encoder by an early return to avoid
re-initialization.
The first channel in memory for MFX_FOURCC_RGB4 (VA_FOURCC_ARGB or
GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_BGRA) is B, not A. In MSDK, channle B is used to access
data for RGB4 surface. In addition, the returned pointers for
MFX_FOURCC_AYUV and MFX_FOURCC_Y410 in gst_msdk_video_memory_map_full
were wrong too before this fix.
When the bitrate is changed in playing state the encoder issues a reconfig
that drains and recreates the underlaying hw encoder instance.
With this set of changes we ensure that all this work is only made when
the bitrate did actually change. It also tries to reuse the vpp buffer
pool and fixes the pool leak spotted when testing this feature.
When postpone_free_surface is TRUE, the output buffer is not writable,
however the base decoder needs a writable buffer as output buffer,
otherwise it will make a copy of the output buffer. As the underlying
memory is always lockable, so we may set the LOCKABLE flag for this buffer
to avoid buffer copy in the base class.
The refcount of the output buffer is 1 when postpone_free_surface is
FALSE, so needn't set the LOCKABLE flag for this case.
Both MSDK and this plugin use mfxFrameAllocResponse for video and DMABuf
memory, it is possible that some GST buffers are still in use when calling
gst_msdk_frame_free, so add a reference count in the wrapper of
mfxFrameAllocResponse (GstMsdkAllocResponse) to make sure the underlying
mfx resources are still available if the corresponding buffer pool is in
use.
In addtion, currently all allocators for input or output share the same
mfxFrameAllocResponse pointer in an element, so it is possible that
the content of mfxFrameAllocResponse is updated for a new caps then all
GST buffers allocated from an old allocator will use this new content of
mfxFrameAllocResponse, which will result in unexpected behavior. In this
fix, we save the the content of mfxFrameAllocResponse in the corresponding
tructure to avoid such issue
Sample pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=vp9_multi_resolutions.ivf ! ivfparse ! msdkvp9dec !
msdkvpp ! video/x-raw\(memory:DMABuf\),format=NV12 ! glimagesink
Otherwise it is possible that different wrappers share the same
mfxFrameAllocResponse pointer, so instead of caching the pointer, we may
cache the content of mfxFrameAllocResponse
For a skipped frame in VC1, MSDK returns the mfx surface of the reference
frame, so we have to make sure the corresponding surface for the
reference frame is not freed. In this fix, we postpone surface free because
we don't know whether a surface is referenced
Before this fix, the error is like as below:
New clock: GstSystemClock
0:00:00.181793130 23098 0x55f8a9d622d0 ERROR msdkdec

cached MSDK surface
Sample pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=input_has_skipped_frame.wmv ! asfdemux !
vc1parse ! msdkvc1dec ! glimagesink
If the surface is not in use, we may release it even if GST_FLOW_OK is going
to be returned, which may avoid the issue of failing to get surface
available
This fixes the regression caused by commit c05acf4
GstAllocationParams::align is set to 31 in msdkdec/msdken/msdkvpp, hence
the stride align should be greater than or equal to 31, otherwise it
will result in issue
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/issues/861
(msdk: "GStreamer-CRITICAL: gst_buffer_resize_range failed" SPAM),
In addition, the stride should match the pitch alignment in the media driver,
otherwise it will result in some issues when a buffer is shared between
different elements, e.g. the NV12 issue mentioned in commit 3f2314a, which
can be reproduced by `gst-launch-1.0 vidoetestsrc ! msdkvpp !
video/x-raw\(memory:DMABuf\),format=NV12 ! glimagesink`
Fixed https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/issues/861
For some hevc 10bit 4K encoding cases, the encoding process may be
slow, and MediaSDK surface can't be released in time before one other
available surface is needed. So add an extra surface for hevc encoding
to avoid this issue.
Add new macro for sink/src pad template to ensure no DMABuf caps
features are exposed on Windows. Some DMABuf caps features
were not handled by the commit 9ec62418c3
gst_buffer_make_writable() requires exclusive reference to the
GstMemory so the _make_writable() for the msdk buffer will result
to fallback system memory copy, because the msdk memory were initialized
with GST_MEMORY_FLAG_NO_SHARE flag.
Note that, disable sharing GstMemory brings high overhead but actually
the msdk memory objects can be shared over multiple buffers.
If the memory is not shareable, newly added GstAllocator::mem_copy will
create copied msdk memory.
Sometimes a HEVC/H265 stream doesn't have a valid profile but MSDK can
handle this stream. Like vaapih265dec, msdkh265dec may advertise the sink
caps without profile
DecodedOrder was deprecated in msdk-2017 version, but some customers
still use this for low-latency streaming of non-b-frame encoded streams,
which needs to output the frame at once
Both g_list_delete_link and g_list_remove remove an element and free it,
so l->next is invalid (catched by valgrind) after calling g_list_delete_link
or g_list_remove
Returning MFX_WRN_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM means MSDK detects some
incompatible parameters but it is resolved, and we may not regard
MFX_WRN_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM as a fatal error. In this fix,
GST_FLOW_OK is returned but with a warning message so that a pipeline
may run to the end.
video-direction property is common property in gstreamer. In addition,
both mirroring & rotation properties are marked as deprecated,
video-direction will override mirroring & rotation properties when they
are set explicitly
Fix https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/issues/1058
gst_msdkdec_finish_task() may release all frames in
GstVideoDecoder object. In this case, allocate_output_buffer()
cannot get the oldest frame to allocate buffer.
So gst_msdkdec_handle_frame() should return GST_FLOW_OK for
letting gst_video_decoder_decode_frame() to send a new frame
for decoding.
Fixes#664.
Fixes#665.
When vpp rotation is 90 or 270, the output frame
should be rotated, too.
Example:
gst-launch-1.0 -vf videotestsrc \
! video/x-raw,width=720,height=480 \
! msdkvpp rotation=90 ! vaapisink
Currently h264parser produces a field or a frame for
alignment=au for interlaced streams, but the flag
MFX_BITSTREAM_COMPLETE_FRAME needs a complete frame
or complementary field pair of data, this results in
broken images being output.
Some patches have been sent out to fix h264parser,
but they are pending on some unfinished work. In
order to make gstreamer-msdk decoding work properly
for interlaced streams before h264parser is fixed,
this flag will be removed temporarily and will be
added back once h264parser if fixed.

It is possible that the output region size (e.g. 192x144) is different
from the coded picture size (e.g. 192x256). We may adjust the alignment
parameters so that the padding is respected in GstVideoInfo and use
GstVideoInfo to calculate mfx frame width and height
This fixes the error below when decoding a stream which has different
output region size and coded picture size

MFX_FOURCC_VP9_SEGMAP surface in MSDK is an internal surface however
MSDK still call the external allocator for this surface, so this plugin
has to return UNSUPPORTED and force MSDK allocates surface using the
internal allocator.
See https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK/issues/762 for details
The call of MFXVideoENCODE_EncodeFrameAsync may not generate output and
the function returns MFX_ERR_MORE_DATA with NULL sync point, the input
frame is cached in this case, so it is possible that all allocated
frames go into the surfaces_used list after calling
MFXVideoENCODE_EncodeFrameAsync a few times, then the encoder will fail
to get an available surface before releasing used frames
This patch adds a new field of num_extra_frames to GstMsdkEnc and allows
encode element requires extra frames, the default value is 0.
This patch is the preparation for msdkvp9enc element.
msdkenc supports CSC implicitly, so it is possible that two VPP
processes are required when a pipeline contains msdkvpp and msdkenc.
Before this fix, msdkvpp and msdkenc may share the same context, hence
the same mfx session, which results in MFX_ERR_UNDEFINED_BEHAVIOR
in MSDK because a mfx session has at most one VPP process only
This fixes the broken pipelines below:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! msdkh264enc ! \
msdkh264dec ! msdkvpp ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2 ! fakesink
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! msdkvpp ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2 ! \
msdkh264enc ! fakesink
MSDK supports JPEG YUY2 (422 chroma) output color
format. The color format of input bitstream is
described by JPEGChromaFormat and JPEGColorFormat
fields in the mfxInfoMFX structure which is filled
in by the MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeHeader function.
To obtain lossless decoded output from 422 encoded
JPEGs, we must set the output color format in the
FourCC and ChromaFormat fields in the mfxFrameInfo
structure to the appropriate values at post_configure
so that they are propagated through to the srcpad
caps accordingly.
A post_configure virtual method is added to allow
codec subclasses to adjust the initialized parameters
after MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeHeader is called from the
gstmsdkdec::gst_msdkdec_handle_frame function.
This is useful if codecs want to adjust the output
parameters based on the codec-specific decoding
options that are present in the mfxInfoMFX structure
after MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeHeader initializes them.
The workaround for https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK/issues/1139
is required for vp8 only, so move this workaround to the corresponding
postinit_decoder function
The pipeline below works with this change
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=SA10104.vc1 ! \
'video/x-wmv,profile=(string)advanced',width=720,height=480,framerate=14/1 ! \
msdkvc1dec ! fakesink
MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeHeader only parses the sequence layer for VC1, so
the structure is unknown for a stream with interlace flag set in the
sequence layer. If forcing the struct to progressive in this plugin,
MediaSDK will fail to decode such streams.
It is possible MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync returns MFX_ERR_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM
and this error can't be recovered by retrying MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync
in some cases, so we need to limit the number of retries to avoid infinite loop.
This fixes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/issues/909
../subprojects/gst-plugins-bad/sys/msdk/msdk.c(61): error C2065: 'MFX_FOURCC_RGB565'
The minimum required version for the format seems to MFX_VERSION >= 1028
Returning MFX_ERR_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM from
MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync means the allocated mfx surface is not
suitable for the current frame, we need a new mfx surface and try
MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync again.
When MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync () returns MFX_WRN_DEVICE_BUSY with
an output surface, a new input surface is required when retrying
MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync ().
This fixes the out-of-surface issue mentioned in
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/issues/890
This gets rid of annoying message in the log, e.g. run the pipeline
below:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=100 ! \
video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=352,height=288 ! msdkh264enc ! filesink \
location=test.h264
[LIBVA]:CRITICAL - DdiMedia_DestroyImage:4357: Invalid image
This make the pipeline below works:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=1 ! msdkvpp ! \
video/x-raw,format=UYVY ! filesink location=a.yuv
Once https://github.com/intel/media-driver/pull/526 in the media-driver
is merged, the pipeline below also works:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=1 ! msdkvpp ! \
video/x-raw\(memory:DMABuf\),format=UYVY ! filesink location=a.yuv
An output surface is returned but without sync point when when
MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync () returns MFX_ERR_MORE_DATA, this
surface should be released too, otherwise the surface is occupied
and it is easy to exhaust all pre-allocated mfx surfaces.
Example pipeline (input_vp8.webm contains lots of frame with show_frame
set to 0):
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=input_vp8.webm ! matroskademux !

This is a workaround for the above issue
The memory type was used as bitwise enum, but the enum was not
defined in that way.
Nonetheless, most of the usage of the memory type was as mutually
exclusive options, rather than option composition.
This patch refactor how the memory type is defined, so it is kept
the mutual exclusion among options.
