Fixes bug where random/uninitialzed audio values may appear in some
circumstances.
Also switches swr_convert_frame to swr_convert for a small
optimization/improvement, no need to use AVFrame struct when we're only
interested in samples.
Several things are accomplished in this commit, including:
- Use OIIO instead of our own functions for pixel format conversions
(cleaner code/less for us to maintain)
- Fold all PixelService functions into the PixelFormat class
(cleaner code)
- Moved OpenGL pixel definitions to OpenGL classes and out of the
global classes.
- Add support for RGB buffers as well as RGBA (optimization)
functions
Indexing is a lengthy process and had a high chance of getting RenderWorkers
stuck doing it rather than being responsive to cache requests. This commit
introduces a system where workers never index media, but instead signal that
media is not ready to their RenderBackends which ensure that the media gets
indexed and re-queues the affected frames when those indexes are ready.
Previously, FFmpeg decoders needed to wait for the initial index to finish
before they could retrieve frames. Now they can retrieve frames while the
index is occurring, provided the appropriate frame has already been indexed (if
not, the retrieve will need to wait still).
Our renderer system is already heavily multithreaded and prioritized to keep the
main thread active. As a result, FFmpeg receives little benefits from being
multithreaded and is actually detrimental to our main thread as it hasn't been
prioritized to keep the main thread as active as possible.
Implementation isn't perfect yet, viewer/renderer doesn't update yet when
the preference is changed so a sequence needs to be re-opened for the change to
take effect.
We use Qt's built in zlib compression on the fastest setting (it was found that
higher compression took 5x as long with a negligible decrease in size). This
helps keep disk cache sizes low.
While there are clear efficiencies in storing the frame out of the codec,
there's little benefit to storing it in a format higher than its native pixel
format since the pixel conversion is generally fairly quick. This commit will
index all frames in their native pixel format.
