Vulkan Video Decoding: Usage Guide and FAQ

Vulkan Video Decoding: Usage Guide and FAQ ====================================… On the 28th of May, we reached the significant milestone of finally merging all the required functionality into ffmpeg, libplacebo, and mpv to do end-to-end Vulkan video decoding and presentation. Although the functionality is now all there, we still have a complex landscape in terms of what is supported on what hardware and with what drivers. This document attempts to lay out all the requirements and limitations, so you have a chance of successfully using the feature. Why should I even care about Vulkan video decoding? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's a fair question. Right now, the actual functionality you gain access to is not terribly different from what you would get with existing video decoding APIs that ffmpeg and mpv already support. However, Vulkan video decoding has the potential to be a credible cross-vendor, cross-platform API that is well supported, and can work efficiently with Vulkan based filtering and post-processing. In the short term, there will be rough edges, and only a narrow set of supported codecs (only H.264 and H.265 are standardised today, with AV1 still a work in progress), but in the future, it will hopefully be the most performant and capable way to do hardware decoding and processing. Software Requirements -------------------------------- Right now, no release versions of any of the components contains the necessary code. You will need to compile from git master for each of them. The oldest usable commits are listed below. * ffmpeg: [e71cd1804920b846757adcd45da22b3958f58f83](https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git/commit/e71cd1804920b846757adcd45da22b3958f58f83) * libplacebo: [3e25675dc10d98ac67d1ca2af9f07b79c543dc77](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libplacebo/-/commit/3e25675dc10d98ac67d1ca2af9f07b79c543dc77) * mpv: [872b068cb75d6d3b173b3d60bf0b1cd375a6d20d](https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/872b068cb75d6d3b173b3d60bf0b1cd375a6d20d) These requirements mean you will likely have to compile everything for yourself (especially on Linux), but Shinchiro's windows [builds](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/) appear to be functional. Hardware and Driver Requirements ----------------------------------------------- * Intel on Linux * Mesa master >= [0e886a93ce73a1bf84d79d2b33f5a0f7e38722ee](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commit/0e886a93ce73a1bf84d79d2b33f5a0f7e38722ee) * A GPU supported by the ANV driver * An [MR](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/21183) is open for support in the hasvk driver * AMD on Linux * Mesa master >= [6674ac98a6abe5f325df43671114e6d9d7483207](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commit/6674ac98a6abe5f325df43671114e6d9d7483207) * A GPU supported by the RADV driver * The AMDVLK driver is not known to support video decoding * Nvidia on Linux or Windows * Drivers >= 535.xx * Any GPU supported by those drivers * AMD on Windows * Unclear and untested * Special 22.11.2 [drivers](https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-22-11-2-vlk-video-code-decode) with video decoding support exist * But maybe any newer driver than that release also supports decoding? * Hardware supported by those drivers (probably any RDNA1/2/3 hardware) * Intel on Windows * Unclear and untested * There is evidence that drivers from at least 101.4311 expose the video decoding extensions * No idea what hardware is supported Usage --------- The basic command line arguments: ``` mpv --vo=gpu-next --gpu-api=vulkan --hwdec=vulkan ``` Depending on your system configuration, you may additionally need to force the right ``gpu-context``: * Windows: ``--gpu-context=winvk`` * Linux X11: ``--gpu-context=x11vk`` * Linux Wayland: ``--gpu-context=waylandvk`` Capabilities --------------- * Global * The Vulkan Video Decoding specs only cover H.264, H.265, and AV1 as a work-in-progress. Older codecs will require you to use your traditional hardware decoding API (VAAPI, nvdec, dx11va, etc) for now, and possibly forever - depending on whether effort is put into exposing older codecs. * Intel * You must set ``ANV_VIDEO_DECODE=1`` in your environment to expose video decoding * Both H.264 and H.265 are supported * VK_EXT_descriptor_buffer support, required for Vulkan filters, still needs to be [merged](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/22151) * AMD * You must set ``RADV_PERFTEST=video_decode`` in your environment to expose video decoding * Both H.264 and H.265 are supported * Vulkan filters are supported * Nvidia * Both H.264 and H.265 are supported * Vulkan filters are supported, but *not* for streams that are decoded with Vulkan video decoding (but of course). * Filters willl work with content that is uploaded to Vulkan after being decoded by nvdec or software decoding. * eg: ``mpv --vo=gpu-next --gpu-api=vulkan --hwdec=nvdec --vf=format=vulkan``

spikerguy · 29 July 2023 09:58

What is the difference in the performance between this and software rendering or vpu?

Rip2 · 29 July 2023 10:57

play on Pi4, in my old eyes everything is no different

Darksky · 29 July 2023 14:40

I’m not really sure mpv is actually doing HW decoding there. In the commandline posted above --hwdec-codecs=vulkan does not appear to be valid. I am thinking it is getting ignored and defaulting to software decoding. It should be --hwdec-codecs=all' or something like '--hwdec-codecs=h264,mpeg2video If you do a mpv --hwdec=help it gives the available API’s with it’s codecs. If @Rip2 would post the terminal output using the parameters he posted above up to playing the movie we can see what is going on. It should be --hwdec=<API> so --hwdec=vulkan.

Looking in the latest mpv configure the only mention for the raspberry pi gpu is for hwaccel is using MMAL. The problem with it is the proprietary libs used right now is 32 bit only. I used MMAL in the past in a 32bit image when ffmpeg-rpi and mpv-rpi was in AUR.

Looking over the link above there is no mention of using a rpi gpu so I am assuming it is for desktop looking at their list of gpu’s.

Hi @Darksky, @Rip2, @spikerguy,

This command in “mpv.conf”:

used to force mpv to stream Youtube “h264” only (with "yt-dlp-2023.03.04-1 or earlier) but now it doesn’t seems to be recognized anymore with the latest “yt-dlp-2023.07.06-1” or “mpv”.

Appreciate tips on how to force mpv or yt-dlp to stream “h264” only?

I used to be able to use --hwdec=v4l2m2m-copy on the pi4 with mp4 and possibly h265 but something changed in the kernel and all it gives me is the Segmentation fault (core dumped) you are seeing above.

Guessing you are running wayland with the right vulkan stuff installed for your device.

Doesn’t seems to recognize “–vo=gpu-next” and “–gpu-context=waylandvk”.

Check if those are available in your mpv install.

Try at first with just vo=gpu only before testing and test other videos because they have change "extractor-args=“youtube:player_client” too for 1080p premium.

I use that for pi4

Hi @Darksky,

Yes, with earlier mpv-0.34.1 “–hwdec=v4l2m2m-copy” on h264 works and sort of work on vp9 (have some visual artifacts at times) this is with ffmpeg-4.4

But on mpv-0.35.1 “–hwdec=v4l2m2m-copy” will results in “segmentation fault – core dump” with ffmpeg-5.

As far as I can tell, “vo=gpu-next” and “gpu-context=waylandvk” is available on “mpv-0.36.0-1” but it doesn’t seems to recognize them.

Do I need to install “vulkan-extra-layers”, “vulkan-mesa-layers”, “vulkan-panfrost”? These were not installed.

But mpv-hwdec-0.35.1-4 “hwdec=v4l2m2m-copy” will play local “x264.mkv” and “mp4”

I can hardware decoding the big bunny.mp4 but not the mkv. It must be something other than the container.

ffprobe to inspect

I compiled from AUR ffmpeg-v4l2-request-git (6.0.r329749) with drm prime and mpv-git and I can play some .mp4’s with a mkv wrapper using HW decoding and some I can’t. I can not play any plain .mp4 files. My device used is the rpi-400.

Seems --hwdec=v4l2m2m has a slight edge over --hwdec=v4l2m2m-copy in htop

Notice the VO: line using drm prime:

Anyone is welcome to use my pkgbuild’s to test on your devices to see if anything migt be better. I noticed ffmpeg had something with rockchip enabled.

glibc-widevine as dependency?

Darksky · 31 July 2023 00:54

No not really. I forgot I had it installed testing widevine. It is glibc with widevine support added.

Added:

I am redoing the packages so it will install using the right glibc but I am trying to make some changes to see if .mp4 files will HW decode.
