The --alpha option currently covers two related but different concepts:
whether or not to ignore the alpha component and possibly blending it
with a background. Because of the way the option currently works, it is
impossible to have a transparent window (which requires setting
--alpha=yes) while blending it with the background at the same time. To
solve this, let's rework it so it it superseded by the background
option.
--background controls what kind of background to set for the image if
possible. It can be blended with the set background color, with tiles,
or not blended at all (the last one is still broken on X11/mesa except
for GLX, *sigh*). In this new paradigm, --alpha=no has no real purpose
because you can simply set the background to color and whatever color
you want for exactly the same effect. So the option is removed. Instead,
the hint set by windowing backends (i.e. setting
ra_ctx->opts.want_alpha) can by done with the --background option.
As an aside, the colors in vo_gpu are currently bugged due to not
pre-multiplying the alpha and it seems no one ever noticed. The next
commit fixes that. vo_gpu_next support happens latter since it requires
new things from libplacebo.
Fixes#9615.
Beef up the barebones description for the Mitchell filter and make it
consistent with the other --scale examples. In addition to this, make
some wording changes to make the language in the documentation a bit
more unified.
Before this change it was pretty obvious that multiple authors
contributed to this part of the manual (at completely different
timeframes), so the language was somewhat disjointed. The Mitchell
description was also not very helpful.
All other ao options are documented there so make ALSA the same.
Also remove the (Linux only) wording since some systems (e.g. FreeBSD)
provide compatibility layer for it.
While making this larger do make audio filters react slower, it doesn't
always make softvol react slower. This is because the softvol reaction
speed is related to the ao buffer size which on many systems have an
upper limit, typically much lower than 200 ms. In this case the softvol
won't react slower. Change the wording to clarify this.
This commit adds a DND_INSERT_NEXT action option for drag-and-drop,
allows for selecting it through the --drag-and-drop=insert-next option,
and adds the necessary plumbing to make that happen when something is
dragged onto the player.
This has defaulted to yes for a very long time, but evidentally it
annoys a lot of people (including myself). My argument is that this
makes no sense. mpv is for videos; not text. A 1920x1080 video should
open as 1920x1080 regardless of whatever the DPI settings of the OS is.
This can get very silly when you consider watching a 4k video which will
get this additional scale factor which is virtually never desirable.
Whether or not the OS and/or WM prevents it from getting larger than the
screen depends on a lot of things.
Previously some windowing backends required that this option be set to
yes in order to report a dpi scale value other than 1, but this should
be fixed with the previous commits. The only difference is whether or
not to scale the window by the additional factor.
Fixes#13465.
Document the use cases for enabling or disabling the wheel preprocessing.
Also note that this option has no effect on any filtering already done
by the OS/driver.
This is technically due to the previous commits that made subtitle
rendering more efficient by eliminating redraws, but working around this
particular edge case is useless. The sub-clear-on-seek option was
originally introduced in d5940fabcd and
specifically is a workaround for completely broken mkv files. There is
no reason to use it otherwise. Because that option disables all
duplicate checking and the previous commits rework subtitle rendering in
the still image case to be dependent on keeping track of packets, the
end result is that you will get the same line rendered multiple times.
However the important case of broken mkv files with duplicate ReadOrder
fields still work just fine with --no-video. So instead of bothering
trying to make this option "work", just clarify that stuff can break
since, again, there's no reason to use it other than as a workaround for
broken files.
* Range of accepted values for teletext_page now include 0 and -1.
* 0 means "subtitle" and -1 means "*".
* Make 0 the default.

Deinterlacing required that the user set it on/off themselves, but we
actually have handy flags for detecting if a frame is interlaced. So
it's pretty simple to make an auto option using that. Unfortunately,
life is not quite that simple and there are known cases of false
positives from the ffmpeg flags so we can't make auto the default value.
However, it still may have some utility for some people, and the
detection could potentially be improved upon later. Closes#10358.
vo_rpi and its related code has pretty much historically been a
disaster in mpv. The build regularly gets broken and since nobody uses
it, it takes months for anyone to notice. There was also that time where
fullscreen was broken for about a year and a half. Also building in waf
was entirely broken for about a couple of years or so due to mysterious
reasons no one ever figured out (meson magically fixed it).
Anyways, once again the build is broken due to rpi being forgotten about
again, but instead of pretending to support this crap. Just drop it all.
Nowadays, mmal hwdec is a relic since these devices are better off using
the v4l2m2m ffmpeg fork instead which actually uses KMS properly. RPI 1
and 2 probably can't do this and will remain broken but oh well blame
Broadcom for being special snowflakes and not using standard APIs (my
rockpro worked out of the box; just saying). RPI 2 is nearly 10 years
old anyways, so I think you can afford a new SBC by now. If we were
nicer, there would be a deprecation period, but this is broken in the
last major release anyway so too late.
Closes#13402.
Some X11 window managers support controlling the title bar independently
from other window decorations with _MOTIF_WM_HINTS. This allows hiding
the title bar while keeping other decorations like the resizing borders.
Let mpv respect the --title-bar option on X11 so --no-title-bar can hide
the title bar only like on win32.
Save the cache to separate files to avoid loading/saving a huge combined
libplacebo.cache. This approach allows the saving of only new cache
objects and avoids resaving the entire cache, especially even if only a
tiny change was made.
This commit improves the cold start time of mpv and avoids saving data
when it's not necessary.
Number of changes were made:
- each cached object is saved in its own file
- cache files are prefixed with the name of cached object
- cache directory is cleaned on each uninit
- the least recently used cache files are removed if cumulative cache
size is above limit
- files used in the recent 24 hours are not removed to allow changes
to mpv.conf without worrying about the cache being removed during
experimentation
- shader cache size limit is set to 128 MiB
- icc cache size limit is set to 1.5 GiB
- cache objects are loaded/saved as needed
This commit eliminates the runtime performance penalty associated with
the size cache. While we continue to maintain the cache limit to prevent
retaining stale objects, mpv now only loads a small subset of files that
are currently required for playback, instead of loading all files.
I don't actually deinterlace ever but allegedly this is better than
yadif, and there's no real reason to not have this be the fallback
deinterlace when we're not using hw frames. Also change various mentions
of yadif to bwdif. Ref #12835.
fe875083b3 confused things a bit and made
--no-subs-with-matching-audio actually mean what it says: no subtitles
if the languages match. However, the option actually meant no non-forced
subtitles not no subtitles at all. This isn't really intuitive so
instead of changing the behavior back to the old way (we already have a
release since then), add a third option "forced" which is equivalent to
the old meaning of --no-subs-with-matching audio. Fixes#13151.
Currently, libplacebo always tries to reconfigure the d3d11 swapchain
to a 10-bit output format because disable_10bit_sdr isn't set to true,
even when an 8-bit format is explicitly requested via
--d3d11-output-format.
Fix this by passing the requested output format preference to libplacebo.
Document that this option may be ignored.
This section has no reason to exist anymore because:
- No "desktop issues" sections exist for other platforms, and all other
Linux-specific issues are represented as notes for options. This section
only addressed one specific issue.
- This section was shortened significantly with commit
2c46ae8ea3, so there is no need for
this to be a separate section anymore.
- This section was shortened again with commit
d5e681e95d, when the original rationale
behind this section became outdated because GNOME has implemented the
idle inhibit protocol.
The historical info is moved to the documentation of --stop-screensaver.
Some places in the manpage uses `.. admonition:: Warning` instead of
the specific directive type `.. warning::` for warning admonitions.
This causes the "Warning" text appearing in black color instead of red.
Correct them here.
- --image-display-duration does not hide the OSC.
- Saying "Setting --image-display-duration" makes no sense because it is
not a boolean and it cannot be unset.
f1c4d20e65 added this option, but the
documentation is actually backwards. --replaygain-clip allows clipping.
Having it disabled, the default, prevents it. Keep the behavior the
same, but change the documentation to reflect reality. Closes#13111.
This filter is a bit complicated, but one of the essential parts of it
is removing text enclosed by particular set of characters (e.g. text
inbetween []). This was previously hardcoded to only take into account
parenthesis and brackets, but people may want to filter more things so
make this customizable. The option only takes "left hand characters" so
the right pair is mapped internally if applicable. If not, then we just
use the same character. Fixes#8268 since the unicode character in
question can just be passed to this option.
Add --secondary-sub-delay option and decouple --sub-delay from secondary
subtitles. This produces desirable behavior in most cases as secondary
and primary subtitles tracks tend to be timed independently of one
another.
This feature is implemented by turning the sub_delay field in
mp_subtitle_opts into an array of 2 floats. From here the track index is
either passed around or derived when sub_delay is needed. There are some
cases in dec_sub.c where it is possible for dec_sub.order (equivalent to
track index) to be -1. In these cases, sub_delay is inferred as 0.
the cocoa backend was removed and all functionality is either available
on all macOS backends or explicitly only with cocoa-cb. the manual
should properly reflect that change.
also remove the last mention of the old cocoa backend.
Only vaapi-copy variant as nothing can map D3D12 resources currently.
And even if we would add resource sharing to D3D11 it would invoke copy
at some point, so there is no point really. Maybe in the future when
libplacebo get smarter about resource sharing on Windows, but practical
advantages are really small. I've tested it with Vulkan <-> D3D11
sharing and GPU <-> GPU copy is still invoked. Better than CPU memcpy,
something for the future.
