Assume mpv.exe is located in $mpv_exe_dir, then config files were
preferably loaded from "$mpv_exe_dir/mpv". This was mostly traditional,
and inherited from MPlayer times.
Reverse the config path priority order, and prefer $CSIDL_APPDATA/mpv as
main config path. This also fixes behavior when writing watch_later
configs, and mpv is installed in a not-writable path.
It's possible that this will cause regressions for some users, if the
change in preference suddenly prefers stale config files (which may
happen to longer around in the appdata config dir) over the user's
proper config.
Also explicitly document the behavior.
The behavior of reverse cycling (with the "!reverse" magic value) was a
bit weird and acted with a "delay". This was because the command set the
value the _next_ command should use. Change this and make each command
invocation select and use the next command directly. This requires an
"uninitialized" special index in the counter, but that is no problem at
all.
Allows properly changing/updating the cursor state. Useful for client
API window embedding, because the host application may not want the mpv
window to grab mouse input, and this has to manually handle the cursor.
Changing the cursor of foreign windows is usually not sane.
It might make sense to allow changing the cursor icon, but that would be
much more complicated, so I won't add it unless someone actually
requests it.
Apparently using the stream index is the best way to refer to the same
streams across multiple FFmpeg-using programs, even if the stream index
itself is rarely meaningful in any way.
For Matroska, there are some possible problems, depending how FFmpeg
actually adds streams. Normally they seem to match though.
Windows doesn't have unix domain sockets, and can't handle sockets and
pipes in an uniform way. Only the libwaio fallback code is available,
which doesn't do JSON.
This is not realy obvious, so I assume this is a helpful hint.
Although the usefulness of such an approach is probably influenced by
the fact that the player might send events that arrive in the short
window while the socket is connected.
The JSON parser was introduced for the IPC protocol, but I guess it's
useful here too.
The motivation for this commit is the same as with 8e4fa5fc (again).
Because 1) Lua is terrible, and 2) popen() is terrible. Unfortunately,
since Unix is also terrible, this turned out more complicated than I
hoped. As a consequence and to avoid that this code has to be maintained
forever, add a disclaimer that any function in Lua's utils module can
disappear any time. The complexity seems a bit ridiculous, especially
for a feature so far removed from actual video playback, so if it turns
out that we don't really need this function, it will be dropped again.
The motivation for this commit is the same as with 8e4fa5fc.
Note that there is an "#ifndef __GLIBC__". The GNU people are very
special people and thought it'd be convenient to actually declare
"environ", even though the POSIX people, which are also very special
people, state that no header declares this and that the user has to
declare this manually. Since the GNU people overtook the Unix world with
their very clever "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy, but not 100%,
and trying to build without _GNU_SOURCE is hopeless; but since there
might be Unix environments which support _GNU_SOURCE features partially,
this means that in practice "environ" will be randomly declared or not
declared by system headers. Also, gcc was written by very clever people
too, and prints a warning if an external variable is declared twice (I
didn't check, but I suppose redeclaring is legal C, and not even the gcc
people are clever enough to only warn against a definitely not legal C
construct, although sometimes they do this), ...and since we at mpv hate
compiler warnings, we seek to silence them all. Adding a configure test
just for a warning seems too radical, so we special-case this against
__GLIBC__, which is hopefully not defined on other libcs, especially not
libcs which don't implement all aspects of _GNU_SOURCE, and redefine
"environ" on systems even if the headers define it already (because they
support _GNU_SOURCE - as I mentioned before, the clever GNU people wrote
software THAT portable that other libcs just gave up and implemented
parts of _GNU_SOURCE, although probably not all), which means that
compiling mpv will print a warning about "environ" being redefined, but
at least this won't happen on my system, so all is fine. However, should
someone complain about this warning, I will force whoever complained
about this warning to read this ENTIRE commit message, and if possible,
will also force them to eat a printed-out copy of the GNU Manifesto, and
if that is not enough, maybe this person could even be forced to
convince the very clever POSIX people of not doing crap like this:
having the user to manually declare somewhat central symbols - but I
doubt it's possible, because the POSIX people are too far gone and only
care about maintaining compatibility with old versions of AIX and HP-UX.
Oh, also, this code contains some subtle and obvious issues, but writing
about this is not fun.
It's kind of obvious, since the protocol by design has to allow you to
read (loadfile) and write (screenshot_to) random files, but better
make it explicit so that nobody accidentally does something insecure.
Now requires newest libass git. Since this feature wasn't part of a
libass release yet, I'm not bothering making the mpv code compatible
with as how it was previously implemented (it will just be disabled
with any older libass).
CC: @mpv-player/stable (because mpv-build uses libass git, and this
breaks the feature)
Apparently there's an use for this; see #1178.
I won't redocument obscure FFmpeg features, so add a hint to the
manpage that some protocols are documented in FFmpeg instead.
This reverts commit 45c8b97efb.
Some else complained (github issue #1163).
The feature requested in #1148 will be implemented differently in
the following commit.
The event monitor is used to get keyboard events when there is no window, but
since it is a global monitor to the current process, we don't want it in a
library setting.
After @frau's split of macosx_events from macosx_application, `is_cplayer' is
not needed anymore. At the moment only global events such as Media Keys and
Apple Remote work, because the VO-level ones were hardcoded to be disabled.
(that will be fix in a later commit ).
Whether you consider the semantics weird or not depends on your use
case, but I suppose it's a bit confusing anyway. At this point, we keep
MPV_EVENT_PAUSE/UNPAUSE for compatibility only.
Make the "core-idle" property somewhat more useful in this context.
Now any action that stops playback of a file (even playlist navigation)
will save the position. Normal EOF is of course excluded from this, as
well as commands that just reload the current file.
The option name is now slightly off, although you could argue what the
word "quit" means.
Fixes#1148 (or at least this is how I understood it).
This is the first of a series of commits that will change the Cocoa way in a
way that is easily embeddable inside parent views. To reach that point common
code must avoid referencing the parent NSWindow since that could be the host
application's window.
--x11-netwm=yes now forces NetWM fullscreen, while --x11-netwm=auto
(detect whether NetWM fullsctreen support is available) is the old
behavior and still the default.
See #888.
For the sake of libmpv. Might make things much easier for the user,
especially on Windows. On the other hand, it's a bit sketchy that a
command exists that makes the player access arbitrary memory regions.
(But do note that input commands are not meant to be "secure" and never
were - for example, there's the "run" command, which obviously allows
running random shell commands.)
Use percent-pos instead, which is exactly the same, except with the
range 0.0-100.0.
I'm not sure how this got there; it was probably introduced and then
removed again as percent-pos got more precise.

Apparently this is what users want. When playing with normal speed,
nothing is done. When playing slower than normal, resampling is used
instead, because scaletempo (which does the pitch correction) adds
too many artifacts.
