Use of these is "discouraged", but they're there to select these special
cases with the "aspect" property. They really should use some sort of
choice option type, but since it would be some work to make these work
with float values, the simple and dumb alternative was picked.
Try to make it more intuitive by not requiring hex values. The new way
uses float values in the range 0.0-1.0, separated by '/' (':' was
suggested, but that wouldn't allow color options in sub-options).
Example: --osd-color=1.0/0.0/0.0/0.75
Using the range 0.0-1.0 has the advantage that it could be easily
extended to colors beyond 8 bit.
Details see manpage.
Suggestions for alternative syntax or value ranges are welcome, but be
quick with it.
The values set by this new option can be queried by Lua scripts using
the mp.getopt() function. The function takes a string parameter, and
returns the value of the first key that matches. If no key matches, nil
is returned.
The terminal OSD code includes the handling of the terminal status line,
showing player OSD messages on the terminal, and showing subtitles on
terminal (the latter two only if there is no video window, or if
terminal OSD is forced).
This didn't handle some corner cases correctly. For example, showing an
OSD message on the terminal always cleared the previous line, even if
the line was an important message (or even just the command prompt, if
most other messages were silenced).
Attempt to handle this correctly by keeping track of how many lines the
terminal OSD currently consists of. Since there could be race conditions
with other messages being printed, implement this in msg.c. Now msg.c
expects that MSGL_STATUS messages rewrite the status line, so the caller
is forced to use a single mp_msg() call to set the status line.
Instead of littering print_status() all over the place, update the
status only once per playloop iteration in update_osd_msg(). In audio-
only mode, the status line might now be a little bit off, but it's
perhaps ok.
Print the status line only if it has changed, or if another message was
printed. This might help with extremely slow terminals, although in
audio+video mode, it'll still be updated very often (A-V sync display
changes on every frame).
Instead of hardcoding the terminal sequences, use
terminfo/termcap to get the sequences. Remove the --term-osd-esc option,
which allowed to override the hardcoded escapes - it's useless now.
The fallback for terminals with no escape sequences for moving the
cursor and clearing a line is removed. This somewhat breaks status line
display on these terminals, including the MS Windows console: instead of
querying the terminal size and clearing the line manually by padding the
output with spaces, the line is simply not cleared. I don't expect this
to be a problem on UNIX, and on MS Windows we could emulate escape
sequences. Note that terminal OSD (other than the status line) was
broken anyway on these terminals.
In osd.c, the function get_term_width() is not used anymore, so remove
it. To remind us that the MS Windows console apparently adds a line
break when writint the last column, adjust screen_width in terminal-
win.c accordingly.
Doesn't make any sense anymore. X11 (which was mentioned in the manpage)
autodetects it, and everything else ignored the option values.
Since for incomprehensible reasons the backends and vo.c still need to
exchange information about the screensize using the option fields,
they're not removed yet.
This basically reverts the default as set by commit 812798c5. This seems
to be a matter of taste, but personally I think keeping the pause
setting is better.
This finally gets rid of the LaTeX dependency.
We should actually be using docultils directly here, but I didn't
do this because of all the potential Python 2/3 breakage.
1000ms is a bit insane. It makes behavior on playback speed changes
worse (because the player has to catch up the dropped audio due to
audio-chain reset), and perhaps makes seeking slower.
Note that the problem of playback speed changes misbehaving will be
fixed in the future, but even then we don't want to have a buffer that
large.
Set the flag CODEC_FLAG_OUTPUT_CORRUPT by default. Note that there is
also CODEC_FLAG2_SHOW_ALL, which is older, but this seems to be ffmpeg
only.
Note that whether you want this enabled depends on the user. Some might
prefer that only good frames are output, while others want the decoder
to try as hard as possible to output _anything_. Since mplayer/mpv is
rather the kind of player that tries hard instead of being "clever", set
the new default to override libavcodec's default.
A nice way to test this is switching video tracks. Since mpv doesn't
wait for the next key frame, it'll start feeding the decoder with a
packet from the middle of the stream.
This is probably useful.
Note that this includes a small, stupid hack to prevent loading of the
config file if vf_lavfi is not available. The profile by default uses
vf_lavfi, and the config parser will output errors if vf_lavfi is not
available.
As another caveat, we install the example profile even if encoding is
disabled (though we don't load it, since this would print errors).
This is relatively hacky, but it's Christmas, so it's ok. This does two
things: 1. allow selecting two subtitle tracks, and 2. include a hack
that renders the second subtitle always as toptitle. See manpage
additions how to use this.
Basically, reimplement --msglevel. Instead of making the new msg code
use the legacy code, make the legacy code use the reimplemented
functionality.
The handling of the deprecated --identify switch changes. It temporarily
stops working; this will be fixed in later commits.
The actual sub-options syntax (like --msglevel-vo=...) goes away, but I
bet nobody knew about this or used this anyway.
Remove these because I'm too lazy to convert them to proper
STREAM_CTRLs. Considering that probably nobody uses radio://, caring
about this is a complete waste of time. I will add these commands back
if someone asks for them, but I don't expect this to happen.
"-" could skip optional arguments. I think this was a pretty bad idea,
because it introduced a weird special case.
I'll remove the special syntax, but keep compatibility for the "seek"
and "screenshot" commands.
