We keep mp.subprocess() with roughly the same semantics for
compatibility with scripts (including the internal ytdl script).
Seems to work with rhe ytdl wrapper. Not tested further.
As it turns out, there are multiple libmpv users who saw a need to
use the hook API. The API is kind of shitty and was never meant to be
actually public (it was mostly a hack for the ytdl script).
Introduce a proper API and deprecate the old one. The old one will
probably continue to work for a few releases, but will be removed
eventually.
There are some slight changes to the old API, but if a user followed
the manual properly, it won't break.
Mostly untested. Appears to work with ytdl_hook.
As threatened by the API changes document.
This commit also removes or stubs equivalent calls in IPC and Lua
scripting.
The stubs are left to maintain ABI compatibility. The semantics of the
API functions have been close enough to doing nothing that this probably
won't even break existing API users. Probably.
Instead of rechecking the timers every time after an event is read, do
it only once the event queue is empty. This is probably slightly more
efficient, and facilitates the next commit.
Old-style commands using _ as separator (e.g. show_progress) were still
used in some places, including documentation and configuration files.
This commit updates all such instances to the new style (show-progress)
so that commands are easier to find in the manual.
This changes behavior somewhat. The old behavior can be restored by
running "mp.use_suspend=true". It was originally introduced for the OSC,
but I can't reproduce whatever misbehavior I was seeing.
(See mp.suspend()/resume() for explanations what the suspend mechanism
does.)
Removes some more internal API calls from the Lua scripting backend.
Which is good, because ideally the scripting backend would use libmpv
functions only.
One awkwardness is that mouse sections are still not supported by the
public commands (and probably will never), so flags like allow-hide-
cursor make no sense to an outside user.
Also, the way flags are passed to the Lua function changes. But that's
ok, because they're only undocumented internal functions, and not
supposed to be used by script users. osc.lua only does due to historical
reasons.
Wnile it seems quite logical to me that commands use _ as word
separator, while properties use -, I can't really explain the
difference, and it tends to confuse users as well. So always
prefer - as separator for everything.
Using _ still works, and will probably forever. Not doing so would
probably create too much chaos and confusion.
The global unpack function got moved to table.unpack in Lua 5.2, and
it's only available as the global if 5.2 is built with compatibility
enabled (the default). Lua 5.3 does not build with 5.1 compatibility by
default.
Fixes#1648.
- --lua and --lua-opts change to --script and --script-opts
- 'lua' default script dirs change to 'scripts'
- DOCS updated
- 'lua-settings' dir was _not_ modified
The old lua-based names/dirs still work, but display a warning.

Yep, Lua is so crappy that the stdlib doesn't provide anything like
this.
Repurposes the undocumented mp.format_table() function and moves it to
mp.utils.
Simpler, and leaves the decision to repeat or not fully to the script
(instead of requiring the user to care about it when remapping a script
binding).
Otherwise, mouse button bindings added by mp.add_key_binding() would be
ignored.
It's possible that this "breaks" some older scripts using undocumented
Lua script functions, but it should be safe otherwise.
Fixes#1283.
Now a negative timeout mean an infinite timeout. This is similar to the
poll() system call. Apparently this is more intuitive and less confusing
than specifying a "very high" value as timeout if you want to wait
forever.
For callers that never pass negative timeouts, nothing changes.
Although this is something really basic, Lua's standard library doesn't
provide anything like this. Probably because there are too many ways to
do it right or wrong.
This code tries to be really careful when dealing with mixed
arrays/maps, e.g. when a table has integer keys starting from 1, making
it look like an array, but then also has other keys.
Now they can be paused and resumed.
Since pausing and disabling the timer is essentially the same underlying
operation, we also just provide one method for it.
mp.cancel_timer probably still works, but I'm considering this
deprecated, and it's removed from the manpage. (We didn't have a release
with this function yet, so no formal deprecation.)
Change script_message to broadcast the message to all clients. Add a new
script_message_to command, which does what the old script_message
command did.
This is intended as simplification, although it might lead to chaos too.
Lua doesn't distinguish between arrays and maps on the language level;
there are just tables. Use metatables to mark these tables with their
actual types. In particular, it allows distinguishing empty arrays from
empty tables.
E.g. binding MOUSE_BTN0 always used the user defined binding. While it
is ok that the user can override mouse_move and mouse_leave (for
whatever reasons), we want to strictly override the bindings when input
is sent to the OSC itself.
Regression since 03624a1.
There are some complications because the client API distinguishes
between integers and floats, while Lua has only "numbers" (which are
usually floats). But I think this should work now.
There was already an undocumented mechanism provided by
mp.set_key_bindings and other functions, but this was relatively
verbose, and also weird. It was mainly to make the OSC happy (including
being efficient and supporting weird corner cases), while the new
functions try to be a bit simpler.
This also provides a way to let users rebind script-provided commands.
(This mechanism is less efficient, because it's O(n^2) for n added key
bindings, but it shouldn't matter.)
Instead, chain them.
Note that there's no logic to prevent the other event handlers to be run
from an event handler (like it's popular in GUI toolkits), because I
think that's not very useful for this purpose.
