Directories were always loaded recursively, which can be slow
(e.g. one of the subdirectories is a mounting point to a slow device)
and can unexpectedly expand into a massive playlist.
Due to the problems described in 503dada42f,
this defaults to recursive loading.

--no-config should prevent loading user files of any type: configs,
cache, etc. For cache files, this case wasn't properly handled and it
was assumed they would always get something. vo_gpu's shader cache
actually already handles this, so it was left untouched. In theory,
demuxer cache should never have this issue because saving it to disk is
disabled by default (and likely that will never change), but go ahead
and change it for consistency's sake. Fixes some segfaults with
--no-config and various combinations of settings (particularly
--vo=gpu-next).
4502522a7a changed the way mpv handled and
saved cached files. In particular, it made a separate boolean option for
actually enabling cache and left the *-dir options as purely just a path
(i.e. having a dir set didn't mean you save cache). This technically
regressed people's configs, so let's just turn the cache on by default.
Linux users already expect random stuff in ~/.cache and well everyone
else can just live with some files possibly appearing in their config
directory.
Add an option for allowing pointer events to pass through the mpv
window. This could be useful in cases where a user wants to display
transparent images/video with mpv and interact with applications beneath
the window. This commit implements this functionality for x11 and
wayland. Note that whether or not this actually works likely depends on
your window manager and/or compositor. E.g. sway ignores pointer events
but the entire window becomes draggable when you float it (nothing under
the mpv window receives events). Weston behaves as expected however so
that is a compositor bug. Excuse the couple of completely unrelated
style fixes (both were originally done by me).
Notes:
- converts the (image) write() api to filenames, because using avio
with FILE* is a pain.
- adds more debug logs for screenshots.
build: rename av1 dependency to avif_muxer
wscript: unify lavf dependency with meson
Today, the only way to make mpv consider multiple hwdecs and pick the
first one that works is to use one of the `auto` modes. But the list
that is considered in those cases is hard-coded. If the user wants to
provide their own list, they are out of luck.
And I think that there is now a significant reason to support this -
the new Vulkan hwdec is definitely not ready to be in the auto list,
but if you want to use it by default, it will not work with many codecs
that are normally hardware decodable (only h.264, hevc and av1 if you
are very lucky). Everything else will fall back to software decoding.
Instead, what you really want to say is: use Vulkan for whatever it
supports, and fall back to my old hwdec for everything else.
One side-effect of this implementation is that you can freely mix
hwdec names and special values like `auto` and `no`. The behaviour will
be correct, so I didn't try and prohibit any combinations. However,
some combinations will be silly - eg: sticking any further values after
`no` will result in them being ignored. On the other hand, a
combination like `vulkan,auto` could be very useful as that will use
Vulkan if possible, and if not, run the normal auto routine.
Fixes#11797
Some platforms (wayland) apparently have a lot of trouble with drag and
drop. The default behavior is still the same which is basically obeying
what we get from the window manager/compositor, but the --drag-and-drop
option allows forcibly overriding the drag and drop behavior. i.e. you
can force it to always replace the playlist or append at the end. This
only implements this in X11 and Wayland but in theory windows and macos
could find this option useful (both hardcode the shift key for
appending). Patches welcome.
It is worth adding this example because it has been asked multiple times
in the issue tracker and the IRC channel.
string.find() is used because it's 20 times faster than string.match().
Vulkan Video Decoding has finally become a reality, as it's now
showing up in shipping drivers, and the ffmpeg support has been
merged.
With that in mind, this change introduces HW interop support for
ffmpeg Vulkan frames. The implementation is functionally complete - it
can display frames produced by hardware decoding, and it can work with
ffmpeg vulkan filters. There are still various caveats due to gaps and
bugs in drivers, so YMMV, as always.
Primary testing has been done on Intel, AMD, and nvidia hardware on
Linux with basic Windows testing on nvidia.
Notable caveats:
* Due to driver bugs, video decoding on nvidia does not work right now,
unless you use the Vulkan Beta driver. It can be worked around, but
requires ffmpeg changes that are not considered acceptable to merge.
* Even if those work-arounds are applied, Vulkan filters will not work
on video that was decoded by Vulkan, due to additional bugs in the
nvidia drivers. The filters do work correctly on content decoded some
other way, and then uploaded to Vulkan (eg: Decode with nvdec, upload
with --vf=format=vulkan)
* Vulkan filters can only be used with drivers that support
VK_EXT_descriptor_buffer which doesn't include Intel ANV as yet.
There is an MR outstanding for this.
* When dealing with 1080p content, there may be some visual distortion
in the bottom lines of frames due to chroma scaling incorporating the
extra hidden lines at the bottom of the frame (1080p content is
actually stored as 1088 lines), depending on the hardware/driver
combination and the scaling algorithm. This cannot be easily
addressed as the mechanical fix for it violates the Vulkan spec, and
probably requires a spec change to resolve properly.
All of these caveats will be fixed in either drivers or ffmpeg, and so
will not require mpv changes (unless something unexpected happens)
If you want to run on nvidia with the non-beta drivers, you can this
ffmpeg tree with the work-around patches:

This adds cache as a possible path for mpv to internally pick
(~/.cache/mpv for non-darwin unix-like systems, the usual config
directory for everyone else). For gpu shader cache and icc cache,
controlling whether or not to write such files is done with the new
--gpu-shader-cache and --icc-cache options respectively. Additionally,
--cache-on-disk no longer requires explicitly setting the --cache-dir
option. The old options, --cache-dir, --gpu-shader-cache-dir, and
--icc-cache-dir simply set an override for the directory to save cache
files. If unset, then the cache is saved in XDG_CACHE_HOME.
A pain point for some users is the fact that watch_later is stored in
the ~/.config directory when it's really not configuration data. Roughly
2 years ago, XDG_STATE_DIR was added to the XDG Base Directory
Specification[0] and its description, user-specific state data, actually
perfectly matches what watch_later data is for. Let's go ahead and use
this directory as the default for watch_later. This change only affects
non-darwin unix-like systems (i.e. Linux, BSDs, etc.). The directory
doesn't move for anyone else.
Internally, quite a few things change with regards to the path
selection. If the platform in question does not have a statedir concept,
then the path selection will simply return "home" instead (old
behavior). Fixes#9147.

This finally allows us to put any user defined options into the
CONFIGURATION variable like what waf does. The arbitrary hardcoded
fallback is left in place for old meson versions. Also update the
documentation in regards to the mpv-configuration variable to be
relevant to meson.
Instead of erroring when values returned by profile-cond expressions
aren't booleans, apply the relative profiles as long as the return
values are truthy. This allows shortening conditions like
profile-cond=path:match('foo') ~= nil
to
profile-cond=path:match('foo')
The playlist title only got set when it was specified in the playlist
file.
If there is a title after opening a file, that should also be reflected
in the playlist.
This reworks all of mpv's unit tests so they are compiled as separate
executables (optional) and run via meson test. Because most of the tests
are dependant on mpv's internals, existing compiled objects are
leveraged to create static libs and used when necessary. As an aside, a
function was moved into video/out/gpu/utils for sanity's sake (otherwise
most of vo would have been needed). As a plus, meson multithreads
running tests automatically and also the output no longer pollutes the
source directory. There are tests that can break due to ffmpeg changes,
so they require a specific minimum libavutil version to be built.
Since meson has its own unit testing system, let's rework mpv's tests so
they integrate nicely with this. To prepare for this, start off by
dropping the unittest option. Of course, this means that tests will no
longer be supported in the waf build at all but it will be dropped
anyway. Note that the tests option is preserved for the meson build. We
will still make use of this in the future commits.
mpv's window resizing logic always automatically resized the window
whenever the video resolution changed (i.e. advancing forward in a
playlist). This simply introduces the option to make this behavior
configurable. Every windowing backend would need to implement this
behavior in their code since a reconfigure event must always be a
resize. The params of the frame changed so you either have to resize the
window to the new size of the params or make the params the same size as
the window. This commit implements it for wayland, win32, and x11.
These options make it possible to specify the directory that will be
passed to ass_set_fonts_dir(), akin to VLC's `--ssa-fontsdir` and
FFmpeg's `fontsdir`.
Fixes#8338
This returns the value of the target OS that mpv was built on as
reported by the build system. It is quite conceivable that script
writers and API users would need to make OS-dependent choices in some
cases. Such people end up writing boilerplate/hacks to guess what OS
they are on. Assuming you trust the build system (if you don't, we're in
really deep trouble), then mpv actually knows exactly what OS it was
built on. Simply take this information at configuration time, make it a
define, and let mp_property_platform return the value.
Note that mpv has two build systems (waf and meson), so the names of the
detected OSes may not be exactly the same. Since meson is the newer
build system, the value of this property follows meson's naming
conventions*. In the waf build, there is a small function to map known
naming deviations to match meson (i.e. changing "win32" to "windows").
waf's documentation is a nightmare to follow, but it seems to simply
take the output of sys.platform in python and strip away any trailing
numbers if they exist (exception being win32 and os2)*.

ref. #4780
PipeWire supports a global volume control for streams that works on top
of the per-channel volumes.
As mpv only supports a single volume with ao-volume it can make sense to
use the single global volume from PipeWire for it.
This allows the user to also specify per-channel volumes and not have
mpv trample over them.
This mode is not the default as pulseaudio does not support this
global volume control and all tooling controlling PipeWire via
pipewire-pulse (like pavucontrol) will not be able to see this channel.
This option is a bit obscure, but some people do use it and it can be
useful. The actual code that implements this is very simple, so there's
really no need to have a scary note in the docs about it possibly
changing or being removed.
3a9e661e92 officially made this video
filter deprecated roughly 6 years ago. Every other video filter in that
commit has actually been removed since then except for vf_sub. ffmpeg
does have its own subtitles filter, but it doesn't have the same control
over scale like vf_sub does. That's probably why wm4 never actually
removed it. Let's stop scaring users with a warning since this filter
probably won't ever get removed. Closes#9254.
With significant improvements to the color tagging support in various
screenshot formats, e.g. cICP in FFmpeg, and JPEG XL's generally robust
color support, it's safe to default this to yes.
Previously, this defaulted to yes and configure-bounds from the
compositor would always apply. In the case where the user explicitly set
autofit or geometry, this could be confusing because configure-bounds
would take precedence over it. Instead, let's add an auto choice and
make that the default. If we detect that the option is on auto and that
there is autofit/geometry being set, then ignore the event. This should
be more intuitive since someone who bothers to explicitly set mpv's
geometry would naturally expect that geometry to actually apply.
This reverts:

As well as the lua/js parts of:
3ec2a098 docs: document new user-data property
user-data and its sub-properties can be set/get/observed/deleted
via the standard properties interface, so there's no need for
additional helpers specific to user-data, which only added maintenance
burden.
This protocol is pretty important since it finally lets us solve the
longstanding issue of fractional scaling in wayland (no more mpv doing
rendering over the target resolution and then being scaled down). This
protocol also can completely replace the buffer_scale usage that we are
currently using for integer scaling so hopefully this can be removed
sometime in the future. Note that vo_dmabuf_wayland is omitted from the
fractional scale handling because we want the compositor to handle all
the scaling for that VO.
Fixes#9443.
--vd-lavc-dr defaulted to "yes", which caused issues on certain
hardware. Instead of disabling it, add a new "auto" value and
make it the default.
The "auto" choice will enable DR only when we can request host-cached
buffers (as signalled by the new VO_DR_FLAG_HOST_CACHED).

The situation here is that HWND is always a 32-bit value but the
win32 API also accepts sign-extended values as valid. The trouble
starts when the numeric value is negative, as mpv ignores those.
Apparently this only happens after a while (related to uptime
or number of handles created), which meant this problem was rare.
addresses #10189
The watch-later mechanism has always unconditionally wrote start to
files to save the playback position. When this was later expanded to
watch-later-options, this logic was kept in place. But we don't actually
have to unconditionally write this and can allow users to remove the
option from the list if they want to. The start value still requires
some special handling; it should always be written if possible
regardless of the value changing. However, we can just place it within
the default set of options for watch-later-options so it can be removed
like any other.
So far there was no way to sync video to display and have audio sync to
video without changes in pitch.
With this option the audio does not get resampled (pitch change) and
instead the corrected audio speed is applied to audio filters.
Buffering ahead nonstop into the cache results in nonstop disk or network
activity to read stream data from wherever it may originate. Currently,
there's no way to configure the demuxer to back off once it's buffered
ahead enough data, since the cache limit will be perpetually not-reached as
a stream continues to play, until the entire stream is eventually buffered.
On a laptop with an i9-12900H with decoding performed by the iGPU,
watching a locally-saved 1080p video which hasn't been buffered into the
page cache consumes approximately 15 W even with caching enabled. When
configuring a hysteresis to make the demuxer back off, power consumption
drops to 9 W when watching the same video, resulting in a whopping 6 W of
power savings.
To make it possible to attain significant power savings via caching, add
a --demuxer-hysteresis-secs option to configure a hysteresis to make the
demuxer back off until there's only the configured number of seconds
remaining in the cache from the current playback position.
This feature is disabled by default.

This makes no attempt at querying terminal features or handling
terminal errors, as it would require mpv to pass the response codes
from the terminal to the vo instead of interpreting them as
keystrokes made by the user and acting very unpredictably.
Tested with kitty and konsole.
Fixes#9605
currently only supported on x11.
one practical use-case of this is wanting to embed something (such as
dmenu) into the mpv window to use as a menu/selection. there might be
other use-cases as well (e.g doing some shenanigans with `xdotool` or
whatnot).
it's currently possible to:
* listen for 'current-window-scale' change (to check if the
window has been created or not)
* call an external tool like `xdo` or `xdotool` and grab the xid
from mpv's pid.
however it adds unnecessary dependency on external tools when mpv is
fully capable of easily providing this information.
closes: #10918
The legacy DRM API adds some complexity to the DRM code. There
are only 4 drivers that do not support the DRM Atomic API:
1. radeon (early GCN amd cards)
2. gma500 (ancient intel GPUs)
3. ast (ASPEED SoCs)
4. nouveau
Going forward, new DRM drivers will be guaranteed to support the atomic
API so this is a safe removal.
The content-type protocol allows mpv to send compositor a hint about the
type of content being displayed on its surface so it could potentially
make some sort of optimization. Fundamentally, this is pretty simple but
since this requires a very new wayland-protocols version (1.27), we have
to mess with the build to add a new define and add a bunch of if's in
here. The protocol itself exposes 4 different types of content: none,
photo, video, and game.
To do that, let's add a new option (wayland-content-type) that lets
users control what hint to send to the compossitor. Since the previous
commit adds a VOCTRL that notifies us about the content being displayed,
we can also add an auto value to this option. As you'd expect, the
compositor hint would be set to photo if mpv's core detects an image,
video for other things, and it is set to none for the special case of
forcing a window when there is not a video track. For completion's sake,
game is also allowed as a value for this option, but in practice there
shouldn't be a reason to use that.
mpv has an internal optimization on a couple of platforms where it will
not render any frames if the window is minimized or hidden. There's at
least once possible use case for wanting to force a render anyway
(screensharing with pipeware) so let's just add a simple switch for
this that always forces mpv to render. Closes#10846.
This is a very simple but easy way of doing it. Ideally, it would be
nice if we could also add some sort of introspection about shader
parameters at runtime, ideally exposing the entire list of parameters as
a custom property dict. But that is a lot of effort for dubious gain.
It's worth noting that, as currently implemented, re-setting
`glsl-shader-opts` to a new value doesn't reset back previously mutated
values to their defaults.
Deduplicate history like the fish shell. So for example
entering "cmd 1" then "cmd 2" then "cmd 3" then "cmd 1"
would result in a history of
[cmd 2][cmd 3][cmd 1]
instead of
[cmd 1][cmd 2][cmd 3][cmd 1]
Adds a function `history_add` to replace directly adding to history.
Adds an option `history_dedup` to activate the deduplication.
Defaults to on.
vo_dmabuf_wayland has its own ra and context so it can handle all the
different hwdec correctly. Unfortunately, this API was pretty clearly
designed with vo_gpu/vo_gpu_next in mind and has a lot of concepts that
don't make sense for vo_dmabuf_wayland. We still want to bolt on a
ra_ctx, but instead let's rework the ra_ctx logic a little bit. First,
this introduces a hidden bool within the ra_ctx_fns that is used to hide
the wldmabuf context from users as an option (unlike the other usual
contexts). We also want to make sure that hidden contexts wouldn't be
autoprobed in the usual ra_ctx_create, so we be sure to skip those in
that function. Additionally, let's create a new ra_ctx_create_by_name
function which does exactly what says. It specifically selects a context
based on a passed string. This function has no probing or option logic
is simplified just for what vo_dmabuf_wayland needs. The api/context
validations functions are modified just a little bit to make sure hidden
contexts are skipped and the documentation is updated to remove this
entries. Fixes#10793.
Wayland VO that can display images from either vaapi or drm hwdec
The PR adds the following changes:
1. a context_wldmabuf context with no gl dependencies
2. no-op ra_wldmabuf and dmabuf_interop_wldmabuf objects
no-op because there is no need to map/unmap the drmprime buffer,
and there is no need to manage any textures.
Tested on both x86_64 and rk3399 AArch64
Pushing E (aka Shift+e) cycles through Editions for containers
that support editions, such as Matroska, although this feature was not
documented before this commit.
We've had some annoying names for interops, which we can't simply
rename because that would break config files and command lines. So we
need to put a little more effort in and add a concept of legacy names
that allow us to continue loading them, but with a warning.
The two I'm renaming here are:
* vaapi-egl -> vaapi (vaapi works with Vulkan too)
* drmprime-drm -> drmprime-overlay (actually describes what it does)
* cuda-nvdec -> cuda (cuda interop is not nvdec specific)
This has had no effect since libplacebo v4.192.0, and was deprecated
upstream a year ago. No deprecation period in mpv is justified by this
being a debug / work-around option.
