【Deprecation notice】

It has been more than a year since the last commit (other than update to this README). I can't allocate time to maintain this project, hence the inclusion of this deprecation notice. However, it is more than just not being able to have time for this.

Implementation is janky

The current implementation involves IPC with ffmpeg, which impacts the performance during rendering. Although I am streaming raw image data from game process to ffmpeg over stdin, it can be done better by doing all encoding directly from game framebuffer to ffmpeg using C# binding.

My wish is being able to make animation using o!f, then render the animation as video frames and include them in container like MP4 or MKV, without resorting to IPC. My theory is that, if I make a new renderer that's basically OpenGL but for offline rendering, I can send the framebuffer to ffmpeg directly. If you want to implement this then you also want to change the clock to manually control as well, because the current clock uses the system time on o!f by default.

Speed adjustment mods will not works

Double time, Half time and other speed adjustment mods will not works.

osu! Replay Viewer

Based on osu!lazer

This replay viewer allow you to view imported replays (yes you have to import them in osu!lazer client) without launching the actual game, and you can also render replays to video files, thanks to FFmpeg.

This project aims to make replay viewer without modifying the official game code or write entire thing from scratch, but uses components from the game instead. Because of this, it's much more easy to upgrade to make UI matches with actual game

This project somewhat implemented this idea (except we're running outside the official client)

Features

• View downloaded replays (now with custom skins support)
• Download replays (if you can log in)
• Render replays to video file (FFmpeg required)

Basic Usage

# List all downloaded replays
# Look for replay GUID (something like f1bb0aa3-5111-4534-b93d-e1e20074f7fe) and pass it to
# --view local <GUID>
osu-replay-viewer --list

# View replay
osu-replay-viewer --view local f1bb0aa3-5111-4534-b93d-e1e20074f7fe

# List all available skins
osu-replay-viewer --list-skin

# View replay with given skin
osu-replay-viewer --skin select "osu!classic" --view local f1bb0aa3-5111-4534-b93d-e1e20074f7fe

Requirements

• .NET 5.0
• OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible device
• FFmpeg installed as command (a.k.a you must be able to run ffmpeg without including an entire path to it) if you want to render the replay to video

This replay viewer is not guranteed to works on platforms other than Windows, but at least it's managed to works on Linux previously. If you have any problem related to Linux platform, please create a new issue.

Installing FFmpeg

1. Grab FFmpeg binaries here

Linux users can also install FFmpeg from package manager included in their distribution

Windows users can download FFmpeg here or here

2. Include ffmpeg in command line path
3. Confirm that it's working by running ffmpeg alone

For the best encoding speed, you can install FFmpeg with hardware acceleration. To actually use hardware acceleration, see hardware acceleration

Command Line arguments

You can view all command line arguments by running the executable without arguments

Build

To build this project, you need:

• .NET 5.0 SDK
• Git

Clone this repository (git clone), then build it with dotnet build command.

You can also build and run directly, using dotnet run osu-replay-viewer

Troubleshooting

"No corresponding beatmap for the score could be found"

You need to import the beatmap to your current osu!lazer installation (works best with ranked maps).

Tips

Hardware Acceleration

To use hardware acceleration, you need:

• FFmpeg with hardware acceleration
• Compatible hardware (Intel, AMD or NVIDIA GPUs)
• Driver

Simply add --ffmpeg-encoder h264_<qsv/amf/nvenc> or --ffmpeg-encoder hevc<qsv/amf/nvenc> to enable hardware encoding. (Eg: osu-replay-renderer --view local 1337 --record --ffmpeg-encoder h264_qsv)

Here is the table for hardware encoders:

Vendor	Encoder	Codec	Note
any	libx264	H.264	Uses CPU
Intel	h264_qsv	H.264
AMD	h264_amf	H.264
NVIDIA	h264_nvenc	H.264
any	libx265	HEVC	Uses CPU
Intel	hevc_qsv	HEVC
AMD	hevc_amf	HEVC
NVIDIA	hevc_nvenc	HEVC

Planned

This is the list of stuffs that I want to changes. It can be planned features or just revamp the code.

• Live Graphs (Live PP, accuracy or difficulty)
• Custom HUD from DLLs (similar to osu! custom rulesets)
• Customiztation
• Split CLI system to seperate project (if you're willing to use it)
• Change the project name
• Allow user to choose different osu!lazer application directory

While Live PP Graph is currently possible, it would be nice if someone exposes them as bindables.
