The software Main 10 path narrowed HDR10 pictures to 8 bits as they were, so
PQ shown as SDR looked grey and BT.2020 colours dull. hdr_tonemap.h maps
brightness with BT.2390's EETF (203 cd/m2 reference white = SDR white,
highlights rolled off up to MaxCLL / the mastering peak / 1000 cd/m2) and
converts colour per chroma sample through linear light into BT.709, moving
out-of-gamut colours toward grey of the same luminance. The component then
prefers its bitstream colour aspects, so surfaces and its RGBA conversion see
BT.709. Bands run in the colour helper threads (about 10 ms per 1080p picture
on one big core). Decoder revision 10; artifacts rebuilt with build.py.
Iris on the Frame's kernel (6.18) offers HEVC Main 10 only into its
compressed Q10C capture format. The component always asks for NV12, and a
Main 10 stream in such a session returned no pictures: playback stayed at
0:00, the flush on leaving timed out (ACodec -110) and the next video hit
MediaCodec::reclaim, so every later decoder start in the app failed until it
restarted (seen in Bigscreen Beta with local files over DLNA).
- hevc_profile.h reads general_profile_idc from the parameter sets
(CODECCONFIG or the first access unit, Annex B or hvcC); streams beyond
Main never open Iris and decode in FFmpeg's software HEVC decoder, which
the component already contains.
- Its 10-bit planar pictures are rounded to 8-bit planar before the existing
outputs (no HDR tone mapping).
- The HEVC component lists Main 10 (level 5.1), so format-aware players
select it instead of reporting NoSupport and using it anyway.
- Decoder revision 9; artifacts rebuilt with native/hevc/build.py (the same
toolchain rebuilds revision 8 byte for byte).
Tested on a Steam Frame in Bigscreen Beta: 1080p and 4K Main 10 clips and a
real 1080p Main 10 episode play; 8-bit HEVC and H.264 afterwards play too.
FFmpeg's software HEVC decoder on the Frame's CPU, 4 threads as the
component uses: 1080p Main 10 episode 232 fps, synthetic 4K Main 10 72 fps.
The owner's tuned room-scan cleanup (2026-10-18) ported to C, pass for pass: plane offsets re-estimated from the
scan, one-sided structural bands, flat wall/floor/ceiling panels (or snap), near clearing, erase spheres, the walked
volume from the recording's head path, furniture tops, clipping with the unseen-edge allowance, islands, thin
floating pieces, Taubin smoothing; label rules on the scanner's volumes (merged/nested/outside boxes removed, shape
relabelling, SCREEN flatness from the raw mesh, door/closet suggestions in scan.json).
room.txt + room-mesh.bin are now refined (ceiling re-estimated); the unrefined output stays as room-raw.txt +
room-mesh-raw.bin with the same UUIDs; scan.json holds heads, settings, report, labels, suggestions. The scan path
refines its raw files as read back, so --refine-only on them reproduces the scan byte for byte; --refine 0 writes
the old output. The fusion grid is freed before the refinement (peak memory unchanged).
- Emulate XR_META_spatial_entity_discovery (xrDiscoverSpacesMETA, xrRetrieveSpaceDiscoveryResultsMETA) and XR_META_boundary_visibility
- Add system properties for space discovery and boundary visibility
- Fix semantic labels length and null termination
- Allow xrGetInstanceProcAddr with null handle for emulated procs in xrshim
- Trim composition layers exceeding runtime maxLayerCount in xrEndFrame and validate quad extents
- Hook xrshim when scene_emul is enabled in adapter settings
- Update prebuilt native artifacts and checksums
Add opt-in swapchain_pool with private GLES images and up to two packed
runtime atlases. Start at eight live app runtime swapchains to reserve
headroom before the session cap. Preserve image ownership, GL state,
source fences, crops and the existing cylinder/equirect layer ordering.
Enable for 4XVR, add count-limit triage without unknown suggestions for
older apps, and document the pending headset menu check. Leave default
recipes and adapter revisions unchanged. Rebuild arm64/arm32 artifacts.
Validation: 132 targeted tests passed (2 skipped), including the native
runtime/GL harness; Ruff and generated docs pass. Full host suite:
2095 passed, 137 skipped, 12 failures and 16 setup errors, all denied
socket creation in this sandbox. No headset validation or push.
Detect and redirect static loader manifests and Android brokers, ship a runtime negotiation shim and the inner loader chain, and maintain per-game manifests on install and launch. Add the PrimedGun recipe, triage and host coverage.
Route OVRPlugin recommendations through the existing extension shim, retain native loader hooks, and log projection rect changes once per second per eye. Enable the fix for Batman, document verification, and rebuild both adapter architectures.
HardBullet's loading frames submit only a cube layer, which the Frame's runtime doesn't composite, so the loading
screen stayed black. Adapter setting cube_quads (default on) draws a cube-only frame's six faces as quad layers
around the viewer; frames with a projection layer are unchanged. Adapter rebuilt on current main.
Also: the foveation test expected a numeric FOVE_LEVEL to pass through (Valve's layer ignores numbers since #394),
a long description line and an import order in adapter_dialog.py failed lint.
Transformers Beyond Reality: Redux ended its first frames with Unreal's "Shader compilation failures are
Fatal." With Lepton's Fossilize layer loaded every graphics pipeline failed with
VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY, even a constant-colour one; the pipeline cache, the app's CPU allocator and
Valve's FDM/RPO layers were ruled out on the device. Without Fossilize a few multiview vertex shaders
still fail in Turnip.
- adapter.vk_no_fossilize: the shim removes VK_LAYER_fossilize from GraphicsEnv's debug layer list when
the engine loads it (library constructor, same GraphicsEnv calls as zinkfix)
- adapter.vk_pipeline_fallback: a refused graphics pipeline is created again with a blank fragment
shader, then blank vertex + fragment shaders
- catalog entry (status unknown, headless only), triage vulkan-pipeline-refused, PLAYBOOK, DEVICE_NOTES
Headless on the dev Frame: RUNNING after 78 s at 72 fps (was: exit within 21 s). Headset check pending.
On the Frame the atomic-branch detours never installed ("installation failed"): an mmap hint isn't honoured,
so the stub landed out of B range. Stubs now go into free gaps from /proc/self/maps within +-128 MiB of the
entry, mapped with MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE (a relocated result is rejected); no gap = no hook. Every failure logs
the target and the failing step.
The detour helper from PR #34 (used by the metadata hook and PR #389's two geometry hooks) wrote a 16-byte
branch + literal in two steps while game threads may run the function (installation is retried from
xrPollEvent). Each hook now publishes a single aligned release-atomic AArch64 B to a stub within +-128 MiB;
the trampoline replays the one verified instruction and returns to entry+4. Every mprotect is checked;
failures before publication free the stub and trampoline and leave the function untouched; no stub in range =
no hook. Adapter artifacts rebuilt by us (the PR's binary isn't shipped).
Games saw a Quest 2: OVRPort's dispatcher hardcodes the system name "Oculus Quest2" and a Quest 2
headset UUID (XR_META_headset_id), and OVRPlugin decides the headset type from the UUID first, then the
name. device.headset_model (Customize; Quest 3 default for every Quest game, also Quest 3S, Quest Pro,
Quest 2) rewrites both in the dispatcher after checking the original bytes; Quest 2 leaves the build
byte-identical. FrameBridge reports the same name to games that call the runtime directly. A library
migration adds the default to existing recipes (installed games show Update on Frame).
Lepton's ro.product.model ("Lepton") can't be overridden by boot properties, so Build.MODEL is unchanged.
Verified on the Frame: OVRPlugin logs "systemName Meta Quest 3" (was "Oculus Quest2").
OutRun Quest VR quits before its VR session with "Rec.709 color space unavailable": the Frame's runtime
has no XR_FB_color_space. Adapter setting fb_color_space (off by default; triage color-space-missing
suggests it) offers the extension when the runtime lacks it, reports Rec.709 and accepts any colour
space without converting. OVRPort's dispatcher can't forward the new functions, so it isn't on for every
game. Not yet tried on the device.
The Frame's runtime has no XR_FB_display_refresh_rate (-7); OVRPort's dispatcher still
offers it and answered 0 Hz. Team Beef's idTech 4 ports run USERCMD_MSEC = 1000 / refresh,
so PreyVR had 0 ms tics: the async thread spun (~1.9M tics/s), com_frameTime stayed 0 and
the main menu's timeline never got past its first step (black backdrop + cursor only).
FrameBridge now always answers with 1 / predictedDisplayPeriod (else the refresh_rate
setting, else 72 Hz). Headless: menu drawn (snapshot mean 68 vs 0.1 before), clocks advance.
- glmv: gl_mv_debug=2 traces draws (state, GL errors per framebuffer), failed texture
uploads/copies/compiles and idTech 4 clocks; how this was found
- triage: a single xrEndFrame -16 is info, not the black-menu error it was blamed for
- PLAYBOOK row, CLAUDE.md fact, host test for the fallback rate
Frames without a projection layer (e.g. PreyVR's menu, a cylinder layer only) gave no snapshot. The snapshot now
takes the first quad/cylinder layer's image instead and logs the layer type, image area, array index and the mean/max
brightness of the submitted area, so a black image shows in the log without fetching the file (#306).
Scared By Squares (Unreal 4.27, OpenXR) creates two actions named "turn"
(an action mapping and an axis mapping called Turn). The Frame's runtime
accepts the duplicate, then vrserver fails to load the input manifest it
builds ("SetXrInputConfig failed. Failed to load manifest"), drops the
app's connection and treats it as exited: black, then the home environment
while the game keeps running with sound. Headless the app reconnected as a
plain OpenXR instance, got throttled to 10 fps and the compositor received
no presents.
- action_dedup (adapter setting, default on): a later duplicate action name
or localized name in a set is created as "<name>_N" / "<Localized> N"
(native/adapter/action_names.h, host-tested). Headless on the dev Frame:
manifest loads, 72 fps, 2808 presents in 45 s (before: 10 fps, none).
- input_diag logs every action set and action (escaped names).
- force_render (hidden diagnostic): xrWaitFrame reports shouldRender=TRUE so
headless runs exercise engines that skip layers when not visible; FrameBridge
logs shouldRender changes.
- Triage: space-warp-used only on the motion-vector swapchain (format 97);
D24S8 (129) eye depth falsely matched. New info finding duplicate-action-renamed.
- Catalog entry (status unknown, min_app 1.2.1), PLAYBOOK row.
