Requested. See manpage additions.
The main reason why this goes through the trouble to keep the
action/operation parameter separate is so that we don't expose some
option parser implementation details to the command (although that is a
relatively weak reason), and also to make it more different from the
"set" command, which can't support this type of option as it goes
through the property layer.
Fixes#5435.
Replace the static array with dynamic memory allocation. This also
requires some code to honor mp_cmd.nargs more strictly. Generally
allocates more stuff.
Fixes#5375 (although we could also just raise the static limit).
This was marked GPL, because the implementation in command.c (which is
shared with the subtitle code) was marked as GPL. This has been changed,
so this is unnecessary. The original commands for external audio tracks
have been added to mpv by someone who agreed with the relicensing.
There has been no new developments or agreements, but I was uncertain
about the copyright status of them. Thus this part of code was marked as
being potentially GPL, and was not built in LGPL mode. Now I've taken a
close look again, and decided that these can be relicensed using the
existing relicensing agreements.
OSD level 3 was introduced in commit 8d190244, with the author being
unreachable. As I decided in commit 6ddd95fd, OSD level 3 itself can
be kept, but the "osd" command had to go, and the "rendering" of OSD
level 3 (the HAVE_GPL code in osd.c) was uncertain. But the code for
this was rewritten: instead of duplicating the time/percent formatting
code, it was changed to use common code, and some weird extra logic was
removed. The code inside of the "if" is exactly the same as the code
that formats the OSD status line (covered by LGPL relicensing).
The current commands for adding/removing sub/audio tracks more or less
originated from commit 2f376d1b39, with the author being unreachable.
But the original code was very different, mostly due to MPlayer's
incredibly messy handling of subtitles in general. Nothing of this
remains in the current code. Even the command declarations were
rewritten. The commands (as seen from the user side) are rather similar
in naming and semantics, but we don't consider this copyrightable. So it
doesn't look like anything copyrightable is left.
The add/cycle commands were more or less based on step_property,
introduced in commit 7a71da01d6, with the patch author disagreeing with
the LGPL relicensing. But all code original to the patch has been
replaced in later mpv changes, and the original code was mostly copied
from MP_CMD_SET_PROPERTY anyway. The underlying property interface was
completely changed, the error handling was redone, and all of this is
very similar to the changes that were done on SET_PROPERTY. The command
declarations are completely different in the first place, because the
semantic change from step to add/cycle. The commit also seems to have
been co-authored by reimar to some degree. He also had the idea to
change the original patch from making the command modify a specific
property to making it generic.
(The error message line, especially with its %g formatting, might
contain some level of originality, so change that just to be sure.
This commit Copies and adapts the error message for SET_PROPERTY.)
Although I'm a bit on the fence with all the above things, it really
doesn't look like there's anything substantial that would cause issues.
I thus claim that there is no problem with changing the license to LGPL
for the above things. It's probably still slightly below the standard
that was usually applied in the code relicensing in mpv, but probably
still far above to the usual in open source relicensing (and above
commercial standards as well, if you look what certain tech giants do).
See "Copyright" file for caveats.
This changes the remaining "almost LGPL" files to LGPL, because we think
that the conditions the author set for these was finally fulfilled.
It was extended by "seru" in 8d190244. This person could not be reached
(or does not reply), and it's in the way of LGPL relicensing. Deprecate
it, and mark the (probably) affected parts of the code with HAVE_GPL. To
be fair, even though the osd.c parts were refactored from the original
code, there's probably no copyright by seru on it. But for now play it
save. The mere existence of a 3rd OSD level is certainly not
copyrightable, so you still can set osd-level to 3 - just that it does
nothing.
cehoyos adds the step_property command in 7a71da01d, and it could be
argued that copyright of this still applies to the later add/cycle
commands (a668ae0ff9). While I'm not sure if this is really the case,
stay conservative for now and mark these commands as GPL-only. Mark the
command.c code too, although that is not being relicensed yet.
I'm leaving the MP_CMD_* enum items, as they are obviously different.
In commit 116ca0c768, "veal" (essentially an anonymous author) adds an
"osd_show_property_text" command (well, the commit message says "based
on" that person's code, so it's not clear how much is from him or from
albeu, who agreed to LGPL). This was later merged again with the
"osd_show_text" command, and then all original code was removed in
commit 58cc0f637f, so I claim that no copyright applies anymore. (Though
technically the input.conf addition still might be copyrighted, so I'm
just dropping it to get rid of the thought.)
"kiriuja" added 2f376d1b39 (sub_load etc.) and be54f4813 (switch_audio).
The latter is gone. I would argue that the former is fully rewritten
with commits b7052b431c and 0f155921b0. But like in the step_property
case, I will be overly conservative for now, and mark them as GPL-only,
as this is potentially shaky and should be thought through first. (Not
bothering with the command define/enum in the header, as it will be
unused in LGPL mode anyway.)
keycodes.c/h can be GPL, except for commit 2b1f95dcc2, which is a
patch by someone who wasn't asked yet. Before doing something radical, I
will wait for a reply.
Scalable commands (seek, cycle and add) understand the cmd->scale
parameter and will "scale" their action accordingly, for example, a seek
with scale = 0.5 will only seek half the specified amount and a seek
with scale = 2.0 will seek twice as much.
Mark these commands so in the next commit, input.c will be able to
synthesize input with cmd->scale = 1 for non-scalable commands.
The intention is to give libmpv users as much flexibility to load
scripts as using mpv from CLI, but without restricting libmpv users from
having to decide everything on creation time, or having to go through
hacks like recreating the libmpv context to update state.
With the recent vo_opengl changes it doesn't do anything anymore.
I don't think a deprecation period is necessary, because the command
was always marked as experimental.
Old-style commands using _ as separator (e.g. show_progress) were still
used in some places, including documentation and configuration files.
This commit updates all such instances to the new style (show-progress)
so that commands are easier to find in the manual.
The value 0 was treated specially, and effectively forced the increment
to 1. Interestingly, passing 0 or no value also does not include the
scale (from touchpads etc.), but this is probably an accidental behavior
that was never intentionally added.
Simplify it and make the default increment 1. 0 now means what it
should: the value will not be changed. This is not particularly useful,
but on the other hand there is no need for surprising and unintuitive
semantics.
OARG_CYCLEDIR() failed to apply the default value, because
m_option_type_cycle_dir was missing a copy handler - add this too.
Removes some more internal API calls from the Lua scripting backend.
Which is good, because ideally the scripting backend would use libmpv
functions only.
One awkwardness is that mouse sections are still not supported by the
public commands (and probably will never), so flags like allow-hide-
cursor make no sense to an outside user.
Also, the way flags are passed to the Lua function changes. But that's
ok, because they're only undocumented internal functions, and not
supposed to be used by script users. osc.lua only does due to historical
reasons.
This was requested. It was more or less present internally already and
used for Lua scripting. Lua will switch to the "public" functions in
the following commits.
Nobody wanted to restore this, so it gets the boot.
If anyone still wants to volunteer to restore menu support, this would
be welcome. (I might even try it myself if I feel masochistic and like
wasting a lot of time for nothing.) But if it does get restored, it
should be done differently. There were many stupid things about how it
was done. For example, it somehow tried to pull mp_nav_events through
all the layers (including needing to "buffer" them in the demuxer),
which was needlessly complicated. It could be done simpler.
This code was already inactive, so this commit actually changes nothing.
Also keep in mind that normal DVD/BD playback still works.
So successful playback and user quit can be distinguished, for whatever
reason you may want to do this.
Normally, the "quit" command can be customized, but this does not work
for quit commands sent by the terminal signal handler. One solution
would be introducing something like "ON_SIGNAL" (equivalent to
"CLOSE_WIN"), but considering there are a bunch of possible signals, I'd
rather not get into this. So go with the dumb solution.
Probably fixes#2029.
This command has been deprecated in the 0.8.x and 0.9.x releases - get
rid of it. Its only point ever was MPlayer compatibility, which broke
years ago anyway.
Wnile it seems quite logical to me that commands use _ as word
separator, while properties use -, I can't really explain the
difference, and it tends to confuse users as well. So always
prefer - as separator for everything.
Using _ still works, and will probably forever. Not doing so would
probably create too much chaos and confusion.
Only absolute percentage seeking was permitted first. It is now also
possible to seek by relative percentage.
MPSEEK_FACTOR is used as seek_type.
Fixes#1950.

Now the rescan_external_files command will by default reselect the audio
and subtitle streams. This should be more intuitive.
Client API users and Lua scripts might break, but can be fixed in a
backward-compatible way by setting the mode explicitly.
This gets rid of the need for a second (or more) parameters; instead it
can be all in one parameter. The (now) redundant parameter is still
parsed for compatibility, though.
The way the flags make each other conflict is a bit tricky: they have
overlapping bits, and the option parser disallows setting already set
bits.
MPlayer requires numeric values for input command parameters. mplayer2
also did. mpv changed these to choices using symbolic strings a long
time ago, but left numeric choices for compatibility.
These commands are counterparts of sub_add/sub_remove/sub_reload which
work for external audio file.

(minor simplification)
New command `mouse <x> <y> [<button> [single|double]]` is introduced.
This will update mouse position with given coordinate (`<x>`, `<y>`),
and additionally, send single-click or double-click event if `<button>`
is given.
Simpler, and leaves the decision to repeat or not fully to the script
(instead of requiring the user to care about it when remapping a script
binding).
The fact that it's a generic command prefix that is parsed even when
using the client API is a bit unclean (because this flag makes sense
for actual key-bindings only), but it's less code this way.
This command was actually requested on IRC ages ago, but I forgot about
it.
The main purpose is that the decoding state can be reset without issuing
a seek, in particular in situations where you can't seek.
This restarts decoding from the middle of the packet stream; since it
discards the packet buffer intentionally, and the decoder will typically
not output "incomplete" frames until it has recovered, it can skip a
large amount of data.
It doesn't clear the byte stream cache - I'm not sure if it should.
