Subject: mplayer2: can't play video with resolution of 2542x1080

Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 07:17:46 -0300

Package: mplayer2
Version: 2.0-426-gc32b3ed-2
Severity: normal

Hi, People.

Some months ago, I got a video from youtube (youtube ID yQ5U8suTUw0) which
no program can play on any system that I tried, including mplayer2.

It has a resolution of 2542x1080 pixels and I get the following when I try
to play it:

,----
| Movie-Aspect is 2.35:1 - prescaling to correct movie aspect.
| VO: [xv] 2542x1080 => 2542x1080 Planar YV12 
| Source image dimensions are too high: 2542x1080 (maximum is 2048x2048)
| FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver.
`----

Is there anything that I can do to fix this? Can anybody please confirm if
this problem is seen in other hardware?


Thanks.

This doesn't work, at least with Intel graphic cards. Does it work for you?
Does it work for you without the scaling down? What does xvinfo report?

This is a limitation reported by libXv. It's likely due to limitations
of your graphics hardware. You can try other output methods such as gl,
but it's likely they won't work well either on such hardware.

Using --xy=0.5 won't help, because that will try to do the scaling in
hardware, but the limitation is about hardware input image size. You can
force software scaling on CPU with options like "--vf=scale=1920:-2".
This would add a filter to do software scaling to a width of 1920 and a
height that keeps the original aspect ratio, which should fit within the
limitations of your hardware. You may want to adjust the value of 1920
if you have a monitor smaller or larger than that.

Yes, I just went to read the code and I came to the conclusion that it was
some limitation reported by Xv and I, then, sent an e-mail to the xorg
mailing list:

    http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2012-April/054484.html

(I'm including the xorg list here in CC).

As Alex Deucher said there, it is a little bit strange that even a Sandy
Bridge notebook has this limitation of playing only 2kx2k videos (which is
the same that my 865 has).

Just curious: what hardware do you use?

OK, that's a reasonable workaround for the moment.

I guess that this bug may be reassigned, then, but I'm not sure if that
should be to xserver-xorg-video-intel or any other package.

In the mean time, it would be nice to hear from the Intel people working
with X (perhaps Keith Packard?) if those limitations are there just for
being hardcoded or if the hardware has that limitation itself.


Thanks.

The intel driver is just using ordinary textures for xv as far as I can
tell. So, unless the hardware requires some specific setup for textures
larger than 2048, it should just work with larger sizes. The hw limit
for any DX10-capable hardware is at least 8192, so even a i965 chipset
should handle that.
You could try it out by compiling the intel ddx driver yourself, the
limits are IMAGE_MAX_WIDTH/IMAGE_MAX_HEIGHT in intel_video.c.
(Of course, the real fix would take the hw into account, 2048 seems
indeed like the limit for i915.)

FTR the gl2 video output of mplayer (no idea whether it's still in  
mplayer2) can handle dimensions > GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE by texture tiling.

Well with the gl output driver you wouldn't need tiling as the i965 3d
driver will advertize larger limits (8192 for pot and 4096 for npot
texture sizes - not sure if the latter is some hw limitation or if it
could be larger too).

Subject: happens on new Intel based system

I'm running a Thinkpad T420 with the above video/chipset hardware.  It's got 
an i5-2520M so it's reasonably new.

I'm trying to play a 3840x2160 video recorded with a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (a 
phone that was released in 2013).

The mplayer option "--vf=scale=1600:-2" makes it display, but it gives the 
warning "Your system is too SLOW to play this!" (which might have occurred 
even without software scaling but I can't test).
