This way people can still use the mouse to quickly check the elapsed time
without moving it all the way to the bottom while still having half the screen
to ignore mouse movement.
These can be used in input.conf for pretty formatting of lists as
with shift+clicking the OSC buttons.
Ex:
z script-message osc-playlist
Z script-message osc-chapterlist
x script-message osc-tracklist
It turns out the glFlush() call really helps in some cases, though only
in audio timing mode (where we render, then wait for a while, then
display the frame). Add a --opengl-early-flush=auto mode, which does
exactly that.
It's unclear whether this is fine on OSX (strange things going on
there), but it should be.
See #3670.
At this point, all other hwaccels provide -copy modes, and vdpau is the
exception with not having one. Although there is vf_vdpaurb, it's less
convenient in certain situations, and exposes some issues with the
filter chain code as well.
Change a few other defaults accordingly:
- seekbarstyle=bar looks better with bottombar.
- Bigger scalewindowed and scalefullscreen make bottom/topbar more readable.
- Change connector selection to accept human readable names (such as
eDP-1, HDMI-A-2) rather than arbitrary numbers.
- Change GPU selection to accept GPU number rather than device paths.
- Merge connector and GPU selection into one --drm-connector.
- Add support for --drm-connector=help.
- Add support for --drm-* in EGL backend.
- Refactor KMS; reduce state sharing across drm_common.
The glFlush() call was made optional recently
since it's not needed in most cases. On OSX though
this is needed since we removed kCGLPFADoubleBuffer
from the context creation, so the glFlush() call
was added to the cocoa backend only.
The CGLFlushDrawable() call can be safely removed
since it only does something when a double
buffered context is used. Also fixes a small typo.
Fixes#3627.
It seems this can cause issues with certain platforms, so better to
disable it by default. The original reason for this isn't overly
justified, and display-sync mode should get rid of the need for it
anyway.
The new option is meant for testing, and will probably be removed if
nobody comes up and reports that enabling the option actually improves
anything.
Rename the text subtitle options from --sub-text- to --sub-
and --ass- options to --sub-ass-.
The intention is to common sub options to prefixed --sub-
and special ASS option be seen as a special version of sub options.
The OSD options that work like the --sub- options are still named
--osd-.
Man page updated including a short note about renamed --sub-text-*
and --ass-* options to --sub-* and --sub-ass-*.
This is potentially incompatible if a program used negative timestamps
to deal with timestamp resets, which would potentially lead to mpv
producing and using negative timestamps.
"seek -10 absolute" will seek to 10 seconds before the end. This more or less
matches the --start option and negative seeks were otherwise useless (they just
clipped to 0).
This should make display-names usable on Windows. It returns a list of
GDI monitor names like "\\.\DISPLAY1". Since it may be useful to get the
monitor that Windows considers associated with the window (with
MonitorFromWindow,) this will always be returned as the first argument.
This monitor is the one used for display-fps and icc-profile-auto.
This should still allow user-set default options to override built-in
pseudo-gui while respecting user-set pseudo-gui options.
Pros:
- user option in default profile overrides built-in pseudo-gui's options
Ex: screenshot-directory overrides built-in pseudo-gui's
- user can "fix" pseudo-gui if some option like "force-window=no" is set
in default by setting "force-window=yes" in [pseudo-gui]
- `mpv --profile=pseudo-gui` will work as before
Cons:
- --show-profile=pseudo-gui won't display the built-in's options
Original idea from wm4.

Seems like this confused users quite often.
Instead of --profile=pseudo-gui, --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui now
has to be used to invoke pseudo GUI mode. The old way still works, and
still behaves in the old way.
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 merging of options and properties, the mpv_set_option()
function is close to being useless, and mpv_set_property() can be used
for everything instead. There are certain conflicts remaining, which are
explained in depth in the docs. For now, none of this should affect
existing code using the client API.
Make mpv_set_property() redirect to mpv_set_option() before
initialization.
Remove some options marked as M_OPT_FIXED. The "pause" and "speed"
options cannot be written anymore without the playloop being notified by
it, so the M_OPT_FIXED does nothing. For "vo-mmcss-profile", the problem
was lack of synchronization, which has been added. I'm not sure what the
problem was with "frames" - I think it was only marked as M_OPT_FIXED
because changing it during playback will have no effect. Except for
pause/speed, these changes are needed to make them writable as
properties after mpv_initialize().
Also replace all remaining uses of CONF_GLOBAL with M_OPT_FIXED.
This is the actual decoder output, with no overrides applied. (Maybe
video-params shouldn't contain the overrides in the first place, but
damage done.)
Setting the osc or ytdl properties will now load/unload the associated
scripts. (For ytdl this does not mean the currently played URL will be
reloaded.)
Also add a changelog entry for this, which also covers the preceding
work for --terminal.
My original idea was making mpv_initialize() a no-op, but it seems this
can't happen after all. The problem is especially with subtle
interactions in option parsing (basically all pre-parse options).
Instead, I might go into the opposite direction, and add a new API
function that takes over the role of mpv_create+mpv_initialize, and
which will take a list of options. This list will be for the purpose
of setting options that can be set only at initialization time (such
as config-dir). This would also make it more uniform with the command-
line player initialization.
Maybe.
In any case, for now revert parts of commit 453fea87 to remove the
initialization-related freedoms it added. Fortunately, this wasn't
released yet, so we remove it from the API as if it never happened.
(The rest of that commit is still fine, just not the additional
freedom.)
For audio files, this is identical to time-pos (except read-only).
For audio-video files, this returns the audio position. Unlike
time-pos, this is not quantized to a video frame.
For video-only files, this property is unavailable.
Some properties had a different type from their equivalent options (such
as mute, volume, deinterlace, edition). This wasn't really sane, as raw
option values should be always within their bounds. On the other hand,
these properties use a different type to reflect runtime limits (such as
range of available editions), or simply to improve the "UI" (you don't
want to cycle throuhg the completely useless "auto" value when cycling
the "mute" property).
Handle this by making them always return the option type, but also
allowing them to provide a "constricted" type, which is used for UI
purposes. All M_PROPERTY_GET_CONSTRICTED_TYPE changes are related to
this.
One consequence is that you can set the volume property to arbitrary
high values just like with the --volume option, but using the "add"
command it still restricts it to the --volume-max range.
Also deprecate --chapter, as it is grossly incompatible to the chapter
property. We pondered renaming it to --chapters, or introducing a more
powerful --range option, but concluded that --start --end is actually
enough.
These changes appear to take care of the last gross property/option
incompatibilities, although there might still be a few lurking.
