A software and GPU emulated UHD output device plugin for VDR.
o Video decoder CPU / VDPAU
o Video output opengl
o Audio FFMpeg / Alsa / Analog
o Audio FFMpeg / Alsa / Digital
o Audio FFMpeg / OSS / Analog
o HDMI/SPDIF pass-through
o Software volume, compression, normalize and channel resample
o VDR ScaleVideo API
o CUDA deinterlacer
o Autocrop
o Suspend / Dettach
o PIP (Picture-in-Picture) (not working yet)
To compile you must have the 'requires' installed.
This is a fork of johns original softhddevice work and I reworked ist to support HEVC with CUDA and opengl output. Currently I have tested it with a GTX 1050 from NVIDIA. SD, HD and UHD is working.
Current Status NVIDA: The CUDA driver supports HEVC with 8 Bit and 10 Bit up to UHD resolution. Opengl is able to output also 10 Bit, but NVIDIA does not support to output 10 Bit via HDMI. Only via DisplayPort you can get 10 Bit output to a compatible screen. This is a restriction from NVIDIA.
You have to adapt the Makefile to your needs. I use FFMPEG 4.0 The Makefile expects the CUDA SDK in /usr/local/cuda. Currently it is tested with CUDA 10
Unfortunatly older FFMEGs has a bug with deinterlacing cuda frames. Best to get the latest FFMPEG Version.
Otherwise you have to patch the file in libavcodec/cuviddec.c Somewhere near line 860 and 1066 depending on your release: old: ctx->frame_queue = av_fifo_alloc(ctx->nb_surfaces * sizeof(CuvidParsedFrame));
new: ctx->frame_queue = av_fifo_alloc((ctx->nb_surfaces + 2 ) * sizeof(CuvidParsedFrame));
This Version supports building with libplacebo. https://github.com/haasn/libplacebo You have to enable it in the Makefile and install libplacebo yourself. At the moment this is Work in progress. It also needs the NVIDIA driver 410.48 or newer as well as CUDA 10.
In the settings you can enable a correction for Colorblindness. First you have to decide what kind of colorblindness to use. And then the faktor of correction. If the faktor is negativ than the selected type of colorblindness is simulated. If the faktor is positiv then the colors are enhanced to try to correct the deficiency.
Also you can enable a Scaler Test feature. When enabled then the screen is split.On the left half you will see the scaler defined by Scaler Test and on the right side you will see the scaler defined at the Resolution setting. There is as small black line between the halfs to remaind you that Scaler Test is activ.
If your FFMEG supports it then you can enable YADIF in the Makefile and select btween the buildin NVIDIA CUDA deinterlacer and the YADIF cuda deinterlacer.
Good luck jojo61
Quickstart:
Just type make and use.
Install:
1a) git
git clone git://github.com/jojo61/vdr-plugin-softhdcuvid.git
cd vdr-plugin-softhdcuvid
make
make install
You can edit Makefile to enable/disable Alsa / OSS
support. The default is to autodetect as much as possible.
You have to start vdr with -P 'softhdcuvid -d :0.0 ..<more option>.. '
