+   * Overview
+   * --------
+   *
+   * This API can be used to make mpv render using supported graphic APIs (such
+   * as OpenGL). It can be used to handle video display.
+   *
+   * The renderer needs to be created with mpv_render_context_create() before
+   * you start playback (or otherwise cause a VO to be created). Then (with
+   * most backends) mpv_render_context_render() can be used to explicitly
+   * render the current video frame. Use
+   * mpv_render_context_set_update_callback() to get notified when there is a
+   * new frame to draw.
+   *
+   * Preferably rendering should be done in a separate thread. If you call
+   * normal libmpv API functions on the renderer thread, deadlocks can result
+   * (these are made non-fatal with timeouts, but user experience will
+   * obviously suffer). See "Threading" section below.
+   *
+   * You can output and embed video without this API by setting the mpv "wid"
+   * option to a native window handle (see "Embedding the video window" section
+   * in the client.h header). In general, using the render API is recommended,
+   * because window embedding can cause various issues, especially with GUI
+   * toolkits and certain platforms.
+   *
+   * Supported backends
+   * ------------------
+   *
+   * OpenGL: via MPV_RENDER_API_TYPE_OPENGL, see render_gl.h header.
+   * Software: via MPV_RENDER_API_TYPE_SW, see section "Software renderer"
+   *
+   * Threading
+   * ---------
+   *
+   * You are recommended to do rendering on a separate thread than normal
+   * libmpv use.
+   *
+   * The mpv_render_* functions can be called from any thread, under the
+   * following conditions:
+   *  - only one of the mpv_render_* functions can be called at the same time
+   *    (unless they belong to different mpv cores created by mpv_create())
+   *  - never can be called from within the callbacks set with
+   *    mpv_set_wakeup_callback() or mpv_render_context_set_update_callback()
+   *  - if the OpenGL backend is used, for all functions the OpenGL context
+   *    must be "current" in the calling thread, and it must be the same OpenGL
+   *    context as the mpv_render_context was created with. Otherwise,
+   * undefined behavior will occur.
+   *  - the thread does not call libmpv API functions other than the
+   * mpv_render_* functions, except APIs which are declared as safe (see
+   * below). Likewise, there must be no lock or wait dependency from the render
+   * thread to a thread using other libmpv functions. Basically, the situation
+   * that your render thread waits for a "not safe" libmpv API function to
+   * return must not happen. If you ignore this requirement, deadlocks can
+   * happen, which are made non-fatal with timeouts; then playback quality will
+   * be degraded, and the message mpv_render_context_render() not being called
+   * or stuck. is logged. If you set MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ADVANCED_CONTROL, you
+   * promise that this won't happen, and must absolutely guarantee it, or a
+   * real deadlock will freeze the mpv core thread forever.
+   *
+   * libmpv functions which are safe to call from a render thread are:
+   *  - functions marked with "Safe to be called from mpv render API threads."
+   *  - client.h functions which don't have an explicit or implicit mpv_handle
+   *    parameter
+   *  - mpv_render_* functions; but only for the same mpv_render_context
+   * pointer. If the pointer is different, mpv_render_context_free() is not
+   * safe. (The reason is that if MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ADVANCED_CONTROL is set, it
+   * may have to process still queued requests from the core, which it can do
+   * only for the current context, while requests for other contexts would
+   * deadlock. Also, it may have to wait and block for the core to terminate
+   * the video chain to make sure no resources are used after context
+   * destruction.)
+   *  - if the mpv_handle parameter refers to a different mpv core than the one
+   *    you're rendering for (very obscure, but allowed)
+   *
+   * Note about old libmpv version:
+   *
+   *      Before API version 1.105 (basically in mpv 0.29.x), simply enabling
+   *      MPV_RENDER_PARAM_ADVANCED_CONTROL could cause deadlock issues. This
+   * can be worked around by setting the "vd-lavc-dr" option to "no". In
+   * addition, you were required to call all mpv_render*() API functions from
+   * the same thread on which mpv_render_context_create() was originally run
+   * (for the same the mpv_render_context). Not honoring it led to UB
+   *      (deadlocks, use of invalid mp_thread handles), even if you moved your
+   * GL context to a different thread correctly. These problems were addressed
+   * in API version 1.105 (mpv 0.30.0).
+   *
+   * Context and handle lifecycle
+   * ----------------------------
+   *
+   * Video initialization will fail if the render context was not initialized
+   * yet (with mpv_render_context_create()), or it will revert to a VO that
+   * creates its own window.
+   *
+   * Currently, there can be only 1 mpv_render_context at a time per mpv core.
+   *
+   * Calling mpv_render_context_free() while a VO is using the render context
+   * is active will disable video.
+   *
+   * You must free the context with mpv_render_context_free() before the mpv
+   * core is destroyed. If this doesn't happen, undefined behavior will result.
+   *
+   * Software renderer
+   * -----------------
+   *
+   * MPV_RENDER_API_TYPE_SW provides an extremely simple (but slow) renderer to
+   * memory surfaces. You probably don't want to use this. Use other render API
+   * types, or other methods of video embedding.
+   *
+   * Use mpv_render_context_create() with MPV_RENDER_PARAM_API_TYPE set to
+   * MPV_RENDER_API_TYPE_SW.
+   *
+   * Call mpv_render_context_render() with various MPV_RENDER_PARAM_SW_* fields
+   * to render the video frame to an in-memory surface. The following fields
+   * are required: MPV_RENDER_PARAM_SW_SIZE, MPV_RENDER_PARAM_SW_FORMAT,
+   * MPV_RENDER_PARAM_SW_STRIDE, MPV_RENDER_PARAM_SW_POINTER.
+   *
+   * This method of rendering is very slow, because everything, including color
+   * conversion, scaling, and OSD rendering, is done on the CPU,
+   * single-threaded. In particular, large video or display sizes, as well as
+   * presence of OSD or subtitles can make it too slow for realtime. As with
+   * other software rendering VOs, setting "sw-fast" may help. Enabling or
+   * disabling zimg may help, depending on the platform.
+   *
+   * In addition, certain multimedia job creation measures like HDR may not
+   * work properly, and will have to be manually handled by for example
+   * inserting filters.
+   *
+   * This API is not really suitable to extract individual frames from video
+   * etc. (basically non-playback uses) - there are better libraries for this.
+   * It can be used this way, but it may be clunky and tricky.
+   *
+   * Further notes:
+   * - MPV_RENDER_PARAM_FLIP_Y is currently ignored (unsupported)
+   * - MPV_RENDER_PARAM_DEPTH is ignored (meaningless)

+     *  - The callback set with mpv_render_context_set_update_callback() can
+     * now be called even if there is no new frame. The API user should call
+     * the mpv_render_context_update() function, and interpret the return value
+     *    for whether a new frame should be rendered.
+     *  - Correct functionality is impossible if the update callback is not
+     * set, or not set soon enough after mpv_render_context_create() (the core
+     * can block while waiting for you to call mpv_render_context_update(), and

+     *    block for too long).
+     *
+     * In general, setting this option will enable the following features (and
+     * possibly more):
+     *
+     *  - "Direct rendering", which means the player decodes directly to a
+     *    texture, which saves a copy per video frame ("vd-lavc-dr" option
+     *    needs to be enabled, and the rendering backend as well as the
+     *    underlying GPU API/driver needs to have support for it).
+     *  - Rendering screenshots with the GPU API if supported by the backend
+     *    (instead of using a suboptimal software fallback via libswscale).
+     *
+     * Warning: do not just add this without reading the "Threading" section
+     *          above, and then wondering that deadlocks happen. The
+     *          requirements are tricky. But also note that even if advanced
+     *          control is disabled, not adhering to the rules will lead to
+     *          playback problems. Enabling advanced controls simply makes
