It's entirely useless, especially now that vo.c handles screenshots in a
generic way, and requires no special VO support. There are some
potential weird use-cases, but actually I've never seen it being used.
The old behavior does not make too much sense after all. If you don't
want to file to be overwritten, the user can check this manually.
This is a change in behavior - let's hope nobody actually relied on it.
libavcodec makes it impossible to distinguish dropped frames (requested
with AVCodecContext.skip_frame), and cases when the decoder simply does
not return a frame by default (such as with VP9, which has invisible
reference frames).
This confuses users when decoding VP9 video. It's basically a cosmetic
issue, so just paint it over by ignoring them if framedropping is
disabled.
It appears youtube-dl sometimes asks for a password on stdin. This won't
work, because mpv already uses the terminal.
(I wonder if this could be simpler, like simply closing FD 0, but let's
not. The FD would be reused by something random.)
We already use 2 screensaver APIs when attempting to disable the
screensaver: XResetScreenSaver() (from xlib) and XScreenSaverSuspend
(from the X11 Screen Saver extension). None of these actually work.
On modern desktop Linux, we are expected to make dbus calls using some
freedesktop-defined protocol (and possibly we'd have to fallback to a
Gnome specific one). At least xscreensaver doesn't respect the "old"
APIs either.
Solve this by running the xdg-screensaver script. It's a terrible, ugly
piece of shit (just read the script if you disagree), but at least it
appears to work everywhere. It's also simpler than involving various
dbus client libraries.
I hope this can replace the --heartbeat-cmd option, and maybe we could
remove our own DPMS/XSS code too.
It seems this choice was never documented. "always" is actually older
than "yes", so just declare it a compatibility value for "yes". (Also
move it before "always" in the C code to make this clear.)
mp_chmap_from_channels_alsa() doesn't always succeed - there are a bunch
of channel counts for which no defined ALSA layout exists. Fallback to
stereo in this case. (Normally, this code path shouldn't happen at all.)
When playing cover art, it conceptually reaches EOF as soon as the image
was put on the VO, causing the EOF message to be repeated every time new
audio was decoded. Just silence the message.
This was mapped to a broken command, so it did nothing but printing an
error message. The intended binding (cycling OSD level) doesn't seem to
useful either, so just drop it.
It was ignored before. Passing an argument makes no sense, and might be
mistaken for some form of --vf-del, so complain about it.
This also affects --af-clr and the vf/af commands.
This is optional, but ensures that linking with -Wl,--as-needed does
not drop the MMAL VC driver. The driver normally "registers" itself
in the library constructor, but since no symbols are explicitly
referenced, the linker could remove it with as-needed enabled.
I tried to find that option by searching for terms like “cover art”
and got nothing. I imagine most users would look for similar terms.
Hope this helps.
It could happen that a lavrresample filter would keep its old output
format when the decoder changed its output format. This simply happened
because the output format was never reset.
Normally, this was not an issue, because lavrresample filters only
inserted for format conversion were removed on format changes. But if
--no-audio-pitch-correction is set and playback speed is changed, then
there is a "permanent" lavrresample filter in the filter chain, which
shows this behavior.
Fix by explicitly resetting output formats for all filters which support
it.
Note: this can crash with libswresample in some cases. I'm not sure if
this is mpv's fault or libswresample's, but since it works with
libavresample, I'm going to assume it's not our's.
The gender specific pronoun is changed, since we shouldn't assume the
gender of the user.
The sentence itself is also changed to be more correct in general.
Not sure why this was so roundabout; probably to keep spam down if the
user's OpenGL drivers are crap (but then just don't enable extended
features), or because the "Disabling..." text was so repetitious.
But there doesn't seem to be a good reason after all. Also, this could
already overflow the fixed size disabled[] array. Just print the
messages directly.
Apparently the standard handles can be set to bogus values on XP. Use
GetFileType to check whether they refer to an actual file/pipe/etc. The
logic used by is_valid_handle() is now pretty similar to what the CRT
uses to check for valid stdio handles.
If mpv is started from Explorer or the Start Menu, it will have no
console and no standard IO handles. In this case, it's fairly safe to
enable the pseudo-gui profile.
Previously, mpv.exe used the --terminal option to decide whether to
attach to the parent process's console, which made it impossible to tell
whether mpv would attach to the console before the config files were
parsed. Instead, make mpv always attach to the console when launched
from the console wrapper (mpv.com) and never attach otherwise. This will
be useful for the next commit, which will use the presence of the
console to decide whether to use the pseudo-gui profile.
This change should also be an improvement in behavior. The old code
would attach to the parent process's console, regardless of whether it
was mpv.com or some other program like cmd.exe. This could be confusing,
since mpv.exe is marked as a Windows GUI program and shouldn't write
text to its parent process's console when launched directly. (See #768.)
Visual Studio does something similar with its devenv.com wrapper.
devenv.exe only attaches to the console when launched from devenv.com.
Add a platform-specific entry-point for Windows. This will allow some
platform-specific initialization to be added without the need for ugly
ifdeffery in main.c.
As an immediate advantage, mpv can now use a unicode entry-point and
convert the command line arguments to UTF-8 before passing them to
mpv_main, so osdep_preinit can be simplified a little bit.
Because gcc (and clang) is a goddamn PITA and unnecessarily warns if
the universal initializer for structs is used (like mp_image x = {})
and the first member of the struct is also a struct, move the w/h
fields to the top.
Remove --keep-open. Switch to --idle=once. This effectively makes the
player quit after end of playback, but still shows the idle screen if it
was started with no files.
Starting the command line player with --no-terminal, the terminal was
sitll initialized. This happened because update_logging() used the
option value before the options were parsed. Fix by moving down the
initialization to before the point where it's actually needed.
