Make the VF/VO/AO option parser available to audio filters. No audio
filter uses this yet, but it's still a quite intrusive change.
In particular, the commands for manipulating filters at runtime
completely change. We delete the old code, and use the same
infrastructure as for video filters. (This forces complete
reinitialization of the filter chain, which hopefully isn't a problem
for any use cases. The old code forced reinitialization too, but it
could potentially allow a filter to cache things; e.g. consider loaded
ladspa plugins and such.)
Doing "mpv --vo=opengl:lscale=help" now lists possible scalers and
exits. The "backend" suboption behaves similar. Make the "stereo"
suboption a choice, instead of using magic integer values.
These two options were supported by ALSA and OSS only. Further, their
values were specific to the respective audio systems, so it doesn't make
sense to keep them as top-level options.
This changes how device names are handled. Before this commit, device
names were mangled in strange ways to avoid clashing with the option
parser syntax. "." was replaced with ",", and "=" with ":" (the user had
to do the inverse to get the correct device name).
The "new" option parser has multiple ways to escape option strings, so
we don't need this confusing hack anymore.
Add an explicit note to the manpage as well.
DVD playback had some trouble with PTS resets: libavformat's genpts
feature would try reading until EOF (worst case) to find a new usable
PTS in case a packet's PTS is not set correctly. Especially with slow
DVD access, this would make the player to appear frozen.
Reimplement it partially in demux_lavf.c, and use that code in the DVD
case. This is heavily "inspired" by the code in av_read_frame from
libavformat/utils.c. The difference is that we stop reading if no PTS
has been found after 50 packets (consider this a heuristic). Also, we
don't bother with the PTS wrapping and last-frame-before-EOF handling.
Even with normal PTS wraps, the player frontend will go to hell for the
duration of a frame anyway, and should recover quickly after that.
The terribleness of this commit is mostly that we duplicate libavformat
functionality, and that we suddenly need a packet queue.
Get rid of the strange and messy reliance on DEMUXER_TYPE_ constants.
Instead of having two open functions for the demuxer callbacks (which
somehow are both optional, but you can also decide to implement both...),
just have one function. This function takes a parameter that tells the
demuxer how strictly it should check for the file headers. This is a
nice simplification and allows more flexibility.
Remove the file extension code. This literally did nothing (anymore).
Change demux_lavf so that we check our other builtin demuxers first
before libavformat tries to guess by file extension.
Add this option, which lets users set the cache size without forcing it
even when playing from the local filesystem.
Also document the default value explicitly.
The Matroska linked segments case is slightly simplified: they can
never come from network (mostly because it'd be insane, and we can't
even list files from network sources), so the cache will never be
enabled automatically.
Delete demux_avi, demux_asf, demux_mpg, demux_ts. libavformat does
better than them (except in rare corner cases), and the demuxers have
a bad influence on the rest of the code. Often they don't output
proper packets, and require additional audio and video parsing. Most
work only in --no-correct-pts mode.
Remove them to facilitate further cleanups.
stream_vstream.c in particular was actually dependent on the network
code, and didn't compile anymore.
Cleanup the protocol list in mpv.rst, and add some missing ones
supported by libavformat to stream_lavf.c.
This commit removes the "old" networking code in favor of libavformat's
code.
The code was still used for mp_http, udp, ftp, cddb. http has been
mapped to libavformat's http support since approximately 6 months ago.
udp and ftp have support in ffmpeg (though ftp was added only last
month). cddb support is removed with this commit - it's probably not
important and rarely used if at all, so we don't care about it.
percent-pos was an integer (0-100). Sometimes higher precision is
wanted, but the property is this way because fractional parts would
look silly with normal OSD usage. As a compromise, make percent-pos
double (i.e. includes fractional parts), but print it as integer.
So ${percent-pos} is like an integer, but not ${=percent-pos}.
Use the video decoder chroma location flags and render chroma locations
other than centered. Until now, we've always used the intuitive and
obvious centered chroma location, but H.264 uses something else.
FFmpeg provides a small overview in libavcodec/avcodec.h:
-----------
/**
* X X 3 4 X X are luma samples,
* 1 2 1-6 are possible chroma positions
* X X 5 6 X 0 is undefined/unknown position
*/
enum AVChromaLocation{
AVCHROMA_LOC_UNSPECIFIED = 0,
AVCHROMA_LOC_LEFT = 1, ///< mpeg2/4, h264 default
AVCHROMA_LOC_CENTER = 2, ///< mpeg1, jpeg, h263
AVCHROMA_LOC_TOPLEFT = 3, ///< DV
AVCHROMA_LOC_TOP = 4,
AVCHROMA_LOC_BOTTOMLEFT = 5,
AVCHROMA_LOC_BOTTOM = 6,
AVCHROMA_LOC_NB , ///< Not part of ABI
};
-----------
The visual difference is literally minimal, but since videophiles
apparently consider this detail as quality mark of a video renderer,
support it anyway. We don't bother with chroma locations other than
centered and left, though.
Not sure about correctness, but it's probably ok.
This adds support for libquvi 0.9.x, and these features:
- start time (part of youtube URL)
- youtube subtitles
- alternative source switching ('l' and 'L' keys)
- youtube playlists
Note that libquvi 0.9 is still in development. Although this seems to
be API stable now, it looks like there will be a 1.0 release, which is
supposed to be the next stable release and the actual successor of
libquvi 0.4.x.
Should we actually get into trouble for unproper handling of
frame-based subtitle formats, this might be the simplest way to
work this around. Also is a bit more intuitive than -subfps, which
might use an unknown, misdetected, or non-sense video FPS.
Still pretty silly, though.
This code was once part of subreader.c, then traveled to libass, and now
made its way back to the fork of the fork of the original code, MPlayer.
It works pretty much the same as subreader.c, except that we have to
concatenate some packets to do auto-detection. This is rather annoying,
but for all we know the actual source file could be a binary format.
Unlike subreader.c, the iconv context is reopened on each packet. This
is simpler, and with respect to multibyte encodings, more robust.
Reopening is probably not a very fast, but I suspect subtitle charset
conversion is not an operation that happens often or has to be fast.
Also, this auto-detection is disabled for microdvd - this is the only
format we know that has binary data in its packets, but is actually
decoded to text. FFmpeg doesn't really allow us to solve this properly,
because a) the input packets can be binary, and b) the output will be
checked whether it's UTF-8, and if it's not, the output is thrown away
and an error message is printed. We could just recode the decoded
subtitles before sd_ass if it weren't for that.
demux_libass.c allows us to make subtitle format detection part of the
normal file loading process. libass has no probe function, but trying to
load the start of a file (the first 4 KB) is good enough. Hope that
libass can even handle random binary input gracefully without printing
stupid log messages, and that the libass parser doesn't accept too many
non-ASS files as input.
This doesn't handle the -subcp option correctly yet. This will be fixed
later.
This fixes the -subfps option (which unfortunately is still useful),
and fixes minor annoying timing errors (which unfortunately still
happen).
Note that none of these affect ASS or image subtitles. ASS is specially
handled: libass loads subtitles as ASS_Track. There are no actual
packets passed around, and sd_ass just uses the ASS_Track.
Disable the --sub-no-text-pp option. It's misleading now and always was
completely useless.
Basically rewrite all the code supporting the cache (i.e. anything other
than the ringbuffer logic). The underlying design is untouched.
Note that the old cache2.c (on which this code is based) already had a
threading implementation. This was mostly unused on Linux, and had some
problems, such as using shared volatile variables for communication and
uninterruptible timeouts, instead of using locks for synchronization.
This commit does use proper locking, while still retaining the way the
old cache worked. It's basically a big refactor.
Simplify the code too. Since we don't need to copy stream ctrl args
anymore (we're always guaranteed a shared address space now), lots of
annoying code just goes away. Likewise, we don't need to care about
sector sizes. The cache uses the high-level stream API to read from
other streams, and sector sizes are handled transparently.
The core didn't use these fields, and use of them was inconsistent
accross AOs. Some didn't use them at all. Some only set them; the values
were completely unused by the core. Some made full use of them.
Remove these fields. In places where they are still needed, make them
private AO state.
Remove the --abs option. It set the buffer size for ao_oss and ao_dsound
(being ignored by all other AOs), and was already marked as obsolete. If
it turns out that it's still needed for ao_oss or ao_dsound, their
default buffer sizes could be adjusted, and if even that doesn't help,
AO suboptions could be added in these cases.
This allows having properties like time-pos in the window title update
properly. There is a danger of this causing significant CPU usage,
depending on the properties used and the window manager.
The use of filters prior to PNG compression can greatly improve
compression ratio, with "mixed" (ImageMagick calls it "adaptive")
typically achieving the best results.
Use the recently introduced screensaver VOCTRLs to control the
screensaver in the X11 backend. This means the behavior when paused
changes: the old code always kept the screensaver disabled, but now the
screensaver is reenabled on pausing.
Rename the --stop-xscreensaver option to --stop-screensaver and make it
more generic. Now it affects all backends that respond to the
screensaver VOCTRLs.
Whatever this was supposed to be originally, it doesn't have much value
anymore. It just forced ad_mpg123 to upmix mono to stereo by default
(the audio chain can do that). As an option, it was mostly useless and
misleading, so get rid of it.
The additional flags are needed to get the muxer to write the source
video frame rate (instead of a fallback) for 100% equivalence to the
replaced MPlayer/mplayer2 y4m writer.
show_chapters, show_tracks, and show_playlist are killed and replaced
with the properties chapter-list, track-list, and playlist. The code
and the output of these stays the same, this is just moving a lot of
code around and reducing the number of properties.
The "old" commands will still be supported for a while (to avoid making
everyone angry), so handle them with the legacy layer. Add something to
suppress printing the legacy warnings for these commands.
This commit addresses some issues with the users had with the previous
implementation in commit c39efb9. Here's the changes:
* Use Quartz Event Taps to remove Media Key events mpv handles from
the global OS X queue. This prevents conflicts with iTunes. I did this on
the main thread since it is mostly idling. It's the playloop thread that
actually does all the work so there is no danger of blocking the event tap
callback.
* Introduce `--no-media-keys` switch so that users can disable all of mpv's
media key handling at runtime (some prefer iTunes for example).
* Use mpv's bindings so that users can customize what the media keys do via
input.conf. Current bindings are:
MK_PLAY cycle pause
MK_PREV playlist_prev
MK_NEXT playlist_next
An additional benefit of this implementation is that it is completly handled
by the `macosx_events` file instead of `macosx_application` making the
project organization more straightforward.
This branch heavily refactors the subtitle code (both loading and
rendering), and adds support for a few new formats through FFmpeg.
We don't remove any of the old code yet. There are still some subtleties
related to subreader.c to be resolved: code page detection & conversion,
timing post-processing, UTF-16 subtitle support, support for the -subfps
option. Also, SRT reading and loading ASS via libass should be turned
into proper demuxers. (SRT is needed because Libav's is gravely broken,
and we want ASS loading via libass to cover full libass format support.
Both should be demuxers which are probed _before_ libavformat, so that
all subtitles can be loaded through the demuxer infrastructure, and
libavformat subtitles don't need to be treated in a special way.)
The -no-ass option used to disable all use of libass completely. This
doesn't work this way anymore, and the text subtitle path has an
inherent dependency on libass. Currently -no-ass does 3 things:
1. Strip tags and formatting on display, and use a separate renderer for
the result. (Which might be the terminal, or libass via OSD code.)
2. Not loading attached fonts from Matroska files.
3. Use subreader.c instead of libass for reading .ass files.
1. and 2. are ok and what the user (probably wants), but 3. doesn't
really make sense anymore. subreader.c reads .ass files just fine, but
then does some strange things to them (something about coalescing and
re-adding newlines?), leading to even more broken display with -no-ass.
Instead of fighting with subreader.c, just use libass as loader.
After killing the non functional AR support in c8fd9e5 I got much complaints so
this adds AR support back in (and it works). I am using the HIDRemote class by
Felix Schwarz and that part of the code is under the BSD license. I slightly
modified it replacing [NSApplication sharedApplication] with NSApp. The code
of the class is quite complex (probably because it had to deal with all the
edge cases with IOKit) but it works nicely as a black box.
In a later commit I'll remove the deprecation warnings caused by HIDRemote's
usage of Gestalt.
Check out `etc/input.conf` for the default bindings.
Apple Remote functionality is automatically compiled in when cocoa is enabled.
It can be disabled at runtime with the `--no-ar` option.
Most of these are rather questionable, the rest you rarely need to set
manually. You still can set all of them with -lavdopts-o (because
libavcodec has AVOptions for them).
This can control whether demux_lavf should use the HTTP mime type to
determine the format, instead of probing the data with the libavformat
API. Do this to allow easier debugging in case the mimetype is
incorrect. (This is done only for AAC streams right now.)
This is basically a "do not use" label. We don't remove them yet,
because we still support FFmpeg releases where we can not use
libavfilter for various reasons. Also, Libav causes pain as usual
due to the lack of ported mplayer filters in its codebase, so not
all filters will be available there.
Use a different algorithm to generate the dithering matrix. This
looks much better than the previous ordered dither matrix with its
cross-hatch artifacts.
The matrix generation algorithm as well as its implementation was
contributed by Wessel Dankers aka Fruit. The code in dither.c is
his implementation, reformatted and with static global variables
removed by me.
The new matrix is uploaded as float texture - before this commit, it
was a normal integer fixed point matrix. This means dithering will
be disabled on systems without float textures.
The size of the dithering matrix can be configured, as the matrix is
generated at runtime. The generation of the matrix can take rather
long, and is already unacceptable with size 8. The default is at 6,
which takes about 100 ms on a Core2 Duo system with dither.c compiled
at -O2, which I consider just about acceptable.
The old ordered dithering is still available and can be selected by
putting the dither=ordered sub-option. The ordered dither matrix
generation code was moved to dither.c. This function was originally
written by Uoti Urpala.
Mostly copied from vf_lavfi. The parts that could be shared are minor,
because most code is about setting up audio and video, which are too
different.
This won't work with Libav. I used ffplay.c as guide, and noticed too
late that their setup methods are incompatible with Libav's. Trying to
make it work with both would be too much effort. The configure test for
av_opt_set_int_list() should disable af_lavfi gracefully when compiling
with Libav.
Due to option parser chaos, you currently can't have a "," as part of
the filter graph string - not even with quoting or escaping. This will
probably be fixed later.
The audio filter chain is not PTS aware. So we have to do some hacks
to make up a fake PTS, and we have to map the output PTS back to the
filter chain's method of tracking PTS changes and buffering, by
adjusting af->delay.
Can be used to refer to filters by name. Intended to be used when the
filter chain is changed at runtime.
A label can be assigned to a filter by prefixing it with '@name:', where
'name' is an user-chosen identifier. For example, a filter added with
'-vf-add @label1:gradfun=123' can be removed with '-vf-del @label1'.
If a filter with an already existing label is added, the existing filter
is replaced with the new filter (this happens for both -vf-add and
-vf-pre). If a filter is replaced, the new filter takes the position of
the old filter, instead of being appended/prepended to the filter chain
as usual. For -vf-toggle, labels are compared if at least one of the
filters has a label; otherwise they are compared by filter name and
arguments (like before). This means two filters are never considered
equal if one has a label and the other one does not.
Also add a "raw" prefix for commands, which prevents property expansion.
The idea is that if the commands are generated by a program, it doesn't
have to know whether the command expands properties or not.
Add the "vf" command, which allows changing the video filter chain at
runtime. For example, the 'y' key could be bound to toggle deinterlacing
by adding 'y vf toggle yadif' to the input.conf.
Reconfiguring the video filter chain normally resets the VO, so that it
will be "stuck" until a new video frame is rendered. To mitigate this, a
seek to the current position is issued when the filter chain is changed.
This is done only if playback is paused, because normal playback will
show an actual new frame quickly enough.
If vdpau hardware decoding is used, filter insertion (whether it fails
or not) will break the video for a while. This is because vo_vdpau
resets decoding related things on vo_config().
Apparently useful for dumping DVD. Could also be used to rip streams
with libquvi and such, but for that there are better tools. Actually
I doubt there aren't better tools to dump DVDs, but whatever, this was
a feature request, so I don't need a good reason.
This adds Mission Control fullscreen functionality to mpv. Since this doesn't
play well with many of mpv's features disable it by default. Users can activate
this feature by using `--native-fs` when starting mpv.
Fixes#34
A "watch later" command is now mapped to Shift+Q. This quits the player
and stores the playback state in a config file in ~/.mpv/watch_later/.
When calling the player with the same file again, playback is resumed
at that time position.
It's also possible to make mpv save playback state always on quit with
the --save-position-on-quit option. Likewise, resuming can be disabled
with the --no-resume-playback option.
This also attempts to save some playback parameters, like fullscreen
state or track selection. This will unconditionally override config
settings and command line options (which is probably not what you would
expect, but in general nobody will really care about this). Some things
are not backed up, because that would cause various problems. Additional
subtitle files, video filters, etc. are not stored because that would be
too hard and fragile. Volume/mute state are not stored because it would
mess up if the system mixer is used, or if the system mixer was
readjusted in the meantime.
Basically, the tradeoff between perfect state restoration and
complexity/fragility makes it not worth to attempt to implement
it perfectly, even if the result is a little bit inconsistent.
This is an attempt to make quoting of sub-option values less awkward,
even if it works only with some shells. This is needed mainly for
vf_lavfi. Also update the vf_lavfi manpage section.
Allows stepping back one frame via the frame_back_step inout command,
bound to "," by default.
This uses the precise seeking facility, and a perfect frame index built
on the fly. The index is built during playback and precise seeking, and
contains (as of this commit) the last 100 displayed or skipped frames.
This index is used to find the PTS of the previous frame, which is then
used as target for a precise seek. If no PTS is found, the core attempts
to do a seek before the current frame, and skip decoded frames until the
current frame is reached; this will create a sufficient index and the
normal backstep algorithm can be applied.
This can be rather slow. The worst case for backstepping is about the
same as the worst case for precise seeking if the previous frame can be
deduced from the index. If not, the worst case will be twice as slow.
There's also some minor danger that the index is incorrect in case
framedropping is involved. For framedropping due to --framedrop, this
problem is ignored (use of --framedrop is discouraged anyway). For
framedropping during precise seeking (done to make it faster), we try
to not add frames to the index that are produced when this can happen.
I'm not sure how well that works (or if the logic is sane), and it's
sure to break with some video filters. In the worst case, backstepping
might silently skip frames if you backstep after a user-initiated
precise seek. (Precise seeks to do indexing are not affected.)
Likewise, video filters that somehow change timing of frames and do not
do this in a deterministic way (i.e. if you seek to a position, frames
with different timings are produced than when the position is reached
during normal playback) will make backstepping silently jump to the
wrong frame. Enabling/disabling filters during playback (like for
example deinterlacing) will have similar bad effects.
Background: slice support has been completely removed, because it
doesn't work with multithreading, and provides a rather bad complexity
to performance tradeoff otherwise.
This allows things like:
'--vf=lavfi="gradfun=20:30"'
Adjust the documentation for vf_lavfi to make the example less verbose.
As an unrelated change, add a general description to vf_lavfi.
Requires recent FFmpeg/Libav git versions. Earlier versions will not
be supported, as the API is different. (A libavfilter version that
uses AVFrame instead of AVFilterBuffer is needed.)
Note that this is sort of useless, because the option parser prevents
you from making use of the full libavfilter graph syntax. This has to be
fixed later.
Most of the filter creation code (half of the config() function) has
been taken from avplay.c.
This code is not based on MPlayer's vf_lavfi. The MPlayer code doesn't
compile as it hasn't been updated through multiple libavfilter API
changes, making it completely useless as a starting point.
These require bleeding edge libass (latest git version), and will be
ignored otherwise.
I'm not sure about the blur factor and scaling. The ASS/VSFilter
semantics for blur scaling are a bad mess. Might require further
investigation.
Anything this option did has been removed in the preceding 3 commits.
Note that even though these options sounded like a good idea (like
setting accuracy vs. speed tradeoffs), they were not really properly
implemented.
The only thing this option did was changing the behavior of af_volume.
The option decided what sample format af_volume would use, but only if
the sample format was not already float. If the option was set, it would
default to float, otherwise to S16.
Remove use of the option and all associated code, and make af_volume
always use float (unless a af_volume specific sub-option is set).
Silence maximum value tracking. This message is printed when the filter
is destroyed, and it's slightly annoying. Was enabled due to enabling
float by default.
This option can be used to selectively reset settings when playing the
next file in the playlist (i.e. restore mplayer and mplayer2 behavior).
Might remove this option again should it turn out that nobody uses it.
Makes sure that seeking to a given time position shows the subtitle at
that position. This can fail if the subtitle packet is not close enough
to the seek target. Always enabled for hr-seeks, and can be manually
enabled for normal seeks with --mkv-subtitle-preroll.
This helps displaying subtitles correctly with ordered chapters. When
switching ordered chapter segments, a seek is performed. If the subtitle
is timed slightly before the start of the segment, it normally won't be
demuxed. This is a problem with all seeks, but in this case normal
playback is affected. Since switching segments always uses hr-seeks,
the code added by this commit is always active in this situation.
If no subtitles are selected or the subtitles come from an external
file, the demuxer should behave exactly as before this commit.
The OSX part of the Apple Remote was unmaintained for a long time and was not
working anymore. I tried to update the cookies to what the current versions of
OS X expect without much luck. I decided to remove it since Apple is not
including the IR receiver anymore in new hardware and it's clear that wifi
based remotes are the way to go.
A third party iOS app should be used in it's place. In the future we could look
into having a dedicated iOS Remote Control app like VLC and XBMC do.
The Linux side (`appleir.c`) was relatively tidy but it looks like LIRC can be
configured to work with any version of Apple Remote [1] and is more maintained.

Drawing the bar with vector drawings (instead with characters from the
OSD font) offers more flexibility and looks better. This also adds
chapter marks to the OSD bar, which are visible as small triangles on
the top and bottom inner border of the bar.
Change the default position of the OSD bar below the center of the
screen. This is less annoying than putting the bar directly into the
center of the view, where it obscures the video. The new position is
not quite on the bottom of the screen to avoid collisions with
subtitles.
The old centered position can be forced with ``--osd-bar-align-y=0``.
Also make it possible to change the OSD bar width/height with the new
--osd-bar-w and --osd-bar-h options.
It's possible that the new OSD bar renders much slower than the old
one. There are two reasons for this: 1. the character based bar
allowed libass to cache each character, while the vector drawing forces
it to redraw every time the bar position changes. 2., the bar position
is updated at a much higher granularity (the bar position is passed
along as float instead of as integer in the range 0-100, so the bar
will be updated on every single video frame).
Allows playing video with alpha information on X11, as long as the video
contains alpha and the window manager does compositing. See vo.rst.
Whether a window can be transparent is decided by the choice of the X
Visual used for window creation. Unfortunately, there's no direct way to
request such a Visual through the GLX or the X API, and use of the
XRender extension is required to find out whether a Visual implies a
framebuffer with alpha used by XRender (see for example [1]). Instead of
depending on the XRender wrapper library (which would require annoying
configure checks, even though XRender is virtually always supported),
use a simple heuristics to find out whether a Visual has alpha. Since
getting it wrong just means an optional feature will not work as
expected, we consider this ok.

This way it's possible to retrieve correct information about video, like
actual width/height, which in general are available only after at least
one frame has been sent to the video output, such as dwidth/dheight.
mpv_identify.sh becomes a bit slower, because we let it decode enough
audio and video to fill the audio buffers and to send one frame to the
video output. Also, --playing-msg isn't shown anymore with --frames=0
(could be fixed by special-casing it, should this break any use cases).
Note that in some corner cases, like when the demuxer for some reason
returns lots of audio packets but no video packets at the start, but
video actually starts later, the --playing-msg will still be output
before video starts.
This has the same (useless) definition as frame stepping in audio-only
mode: one frame means one playloop iteration. (It's relatively useless,
because one playloop iteration has a random duration. But it makes
--frames=1 work, which is useful again.)
Add new properties "dwidth" and "dheight", which contain the video
size as known by the VO (not necessarily what the VO makes out of them,
i.e. without window scaling and panscan).
Remove `af_resample` and `af_lavcresample`. The former is a mess while the
latter uses an API that was long deprecated in libavcodec and is now removed.
`af_lavrresample` rougly has the same features and structure of
`af_lavcresample`.
libswresample fallback by wm4.
Latest nvidia drivers ignore the application setting, so this switch
makes even less sense than before. It's still possible to control this
with VO specific suboptions.
The spdif decoder was hardcoded to assume that the spdif output is
capable of accepting high (>1.5Mbps) bitrates. While this is true
for modern HDMI spdif interfaces, the original coax/toslink system
cannot deal with this and will fail to work.
This patch adds an option --dtshd which can be enabled if you use
a DTS-capable receiver behind a HDMI link.
I doubt anyone needs to adjust hue on a frequent basis, and gamma is
much more useful.
Suggestions for more radical changes of key bindings are welcome
(there's a lot of useless crap mapped).
VFCAP_OSD was used to determine at runtime whether the VO supports OSD
rendering. This was mostly unused. vo_direct3d had an option to disable
OSD (was supposed to allow to force auto-insertion of vf_ass, but we
removed that anyway). vo_opengl_old could disable OSD rendering when a
very old OpenGL version was detected, and had an option to explicitly
disable it as well.
Remove VFCAP_OSD from everything (and some associated logic). Now the
vo_driver.draw_osd callback can be set to NULL to indicate missing OSD
support (important so that vo_null etc. don't single-step on OSD
redraw), and if OSD support depends on runtime support, the VO's
draw_osd should just do nothing if OSD is not available.
Also, do not access vo->want_redraw directly. Change the want_redraw
reset logic for this purpose, too. (Probably unneeded, vo_flip_page
resets it already.)
All wayland only specific routines are placed in wayland_common.
This makes it easier to write other video outputs.
The EGL specific parts, as well as opengl context creation, are in gl_common.
This backend works for:
* opengl-old
* opengl
* opengl-hq
To use it just specify the opengl backend
--vo=opengl:backend=wayland
or disable the x11 build.
Don't forget to set EGL_PLATFORM to wayland.

This allowed making the player switch the monitor video mode when
creating the video window. This was a questionable feature, and with
today's LCD screens certainly not useful anymore. Switching to a random
video mode (going by video width/height) doesn't sound too useful
either.
I'm not sure about the win32 implementation, but the X part had several
bugs. Even in mplayer-svn (where x11_common.c hasn't been receiving any
larger changes for a long time), this code is buggy and doesn't do the
right thing anyway. (And what the hell _did_ it do when using multiple
physical monitors?)
If you really want this, write a shell script that calls xrandr before
and after calling mpv.
vo_sdl still can do mode switching, because SDL has native support for
it, and using it is trivial. Add a new sub-option for this.
The --wid switch (for embedding the player into other applications)
didn't create a new window, and instead tried to use the window that
was passed via --wid directly. This made the code more complex, caused
strange X errors (mpv and host application fighting for exclusive X
resources), and actually could cause issues if the --wid window wasn't
created with the X Visual needed for OpenGL.
Always create a window instead. This makes it always possible to embed
the player into foreign windows. --geometry doesn't work anymore - the
controlling application should always create a new window to place the
player inside it, and can control the video window by moving and
resizing this window.
w32_common.c actually did this right, and always creates a new window.
You can just use --wid=0 if you really want this.
This only worked/works for X11, and even then it might interact badly
with most desktop environments. All the option did was setting --wid to
0, and the property did nothing.
Use the option parser instead of sscanf. Remove the parameter changing
the field dominance (it has been marked deprecated for ages). Add a new
suboption "enabled", which can be used to disable the filter by default,
until it's enabled at runtime:
mpv -vf yadif=enabled=no
For all suboptions, "flat" options were available by separating the
parent option and the sub option with ":", e.g. "--rawvideo:w=123". Drop
this syntax and use "-" as separator. This means even suboptions are
available as normal options now, e.g. "--rawvideo-w=123". The old syntax
doesn't work anymore.
Note that this is completely separate from actual suboptions. For
example, "-rawvideo w=123:h=123" still works. (Not that this syntax is
worth supporting, but it's needed anyway, for for other things like vf
and vo suboptions.)
As a consequence of this change, we also have to add new "no-" prefixed
options for flag suboptions, so that "--no-input-default-bindings"
works. ("--input-no-default-bindings" also works as a consequence of
allowing "-input no-default-bindings" - they are handled by the same
underlying option.)
For --input, always use the full syntax in the manpage. There exist
suboptions other than --input (like --tv, --rawvideo, etc.), but since
they might be handled differently in the future, don't touch these yet.
M_OPT_PREFIXED becomes the default, so remove it. As a minor unrelated
cleanup, get rid of M_OPT_MERGE too and use the OPT_SUBSTRUCT() macro in
some places.
Unrelated: remove the duplicated --tv:buffersize option, fix a typo in
changes.rst.
`--fs-screen` allows to decide what display to go fullscreen into. The
semantics of `--screen` changed and now it is only used to select the windowed
display when starting the application.
This is useful for people using mpv with an external TV. They will start
windowed on their laptop's screen and switch to fullscreen on the TV.
@wm4 worked on the x11 and w32 parts of the code. All is squashed in one
commit for history clarity.
Being able to insert newline characters ("\n") is useful for
--osd-status-msg, and possibly also for anything that prints to the
terminal. Espcially --term-osd-esc looks relatively useless without
being able to specify escapes.
Maybe parsing escapes should happen during command line / config parsing
instead (for all options).
The previous name of this filter was misleading, because it doesn’t actually
normalize volume levels. What it does is closer to performing low-quality
dynamic range compression, hence it is now called af_drc.
Use codec names instead of FourCCs to identify codecs. Rewrite how
codecs are selected and initialized. Now each decoder exports a list
of decoders (and the codec it supports) via add_decoders(). The order
matters, and the first decoder for a given decoder is preferred over
the other decoders. E.g. all ad_mpg123 decoders are preferred over
ad_lavc, because it comes first in the mpcodecs_ad_drivers array.
Likewise, decoders within ad_lavc that are enumerated first by
libavcodec (using av_codec_next()) are preferred. (This is actually
critical to select h264 software decoding by default instead of vdpau.
libavcodec and ffmpeg/avconv use the same method to select decoders by
default, so we hope this is sane.)
The codec names follow libavcodec's codec names as defined by
AVCodecDescriptor.name (see libavcodec/codec_desc.c). Some decoders
have names different from the canonical codec name. The AVCodecDescriptor
API is relatively new, so we need a compatibility layer for older
libavcodec versions for codec names that are referenced internally,
and which are different from the decoder name. (Add a configure check
for that, because checking versions is getting way too messy.)
demux/codec_tags.c is generated from the former codecs.conf (minus
"special" decoders like vdpau, and excluding the mappings that are the
same as the mappings libavformat's exported RIFF tables). It contains
all the mappings from FourCCs to codec name. This is needed for
demux_mkv, demux_mpg, demux_avi and demux_asf. demux_lavf will set the
codec as determined by libavformat, while the other demuxers have to do
this on their own, using the mp_set_audio/video_codec_from_tag()
functions. Note that the sh_audio/video->format members don't uniquely
identify the codec anymore, and sh->codec takes over this role.
Replace the --ac/--vc/--afm/--vfm with new --vd/--ad options, which
provide cover the functionality of the removed switched.
Note: there's no CODECS_FLAG_FLIP flag anymore. This means some obscure
container/video combinations (e.g. the sample Film_200_zygo_pro.mov)
are played flipped. ffplay/avplay doesn't handle this properly either,
so we don't care and blame ffmeg/libav instead.
Simplify --no-config and make it a normal flag option, and doesn't take
an argument anymore. You can get the same behavior by using --no-config
and then --include to explicitly load a certain config file.
Make --no-config work for input.conf as well. Make it so that
--input:conf=file still works in this case. As a technically unrelated
change, the file argument now works as one would expect, instead of
making it relatively to "~/.mpv/". This makes for simpler code and
easier to understand option semantics. We can also print better error
messages.
There were two option syntax variations:
"old": -opt value
"new": --opt=value
"-opt=value" was invalid, and "--opt value" meant "--opt=" followed by
a separate option "value" (i.e. interpreted as filename). There isn't
really any reason to do this. The "old" syntax used to be ambiguous
(you had to call the option parser to know whether the following
argument is an option value or a new option), but that has been removed.
Further, using "=" in the option string is always unambiguous.
Since the distinction between the two option variants is confusing,
just remove the difference and allow "--opt value" and "-opt=value".
To make this easier, do some other cleanups as well (e.g. avoid having
to do a manual lookup of the option just to check for M_OPT_PRE_PARSE,
which somehow ended up with finally getting rid of the m_config.mode
member).
Error reporting is still a mess, and we opt for reporting too many
rather than too few errors to the user.
There shouldn't be many user-visible changes. The --framedrop and
--term-osd options now always require parameters.
The --mute option is intentionally made ambiguous: it works like a flag
option, but a value can be passed to it explicitly ("--mute=auto"). If
the interpretation of the option is ambiguous (like "--mute auto"), the
second string is interpreted as separate option or filename. (Normal
flag options are actually ambiguous in this way too.)
