--alpha=yes doesn't affect only transparent videos and images, but also
the background. I spent time researching how to implement transparent
backgrounds and had no idea that they already worked at least on
Wayland.
Background transparency will work on X11 when
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/2376 is
merged. It doesn't work on Windows. No idea about macOS. Either way,
this paragraph already says that it only works on certain environments
twice.

With the current wording, I thought that playlist-prefetch doesn't
prefetch the next url within a playlist of m3u8 urls, but it makes a big
difference, and I would have enabled it earlier if it wasn't for this
paragraph.
This makes it clear that you can prefetch any file, but that it won't
prefill the cache with the video data. This is true for any video,
there's nothing unique about HLS streams in the behavior of this option.
There's a bit of a catch-22 in the wayland backend. mpv needs to know
several things about the wl_output the surface is on (geometry, scale,
etc.) for lots of its options. You still have to render something
somewhere before you can know what wl_output the surface is actually on.
So this means that when initializing the player, it is entirely possible
to calculate initial parameters using the wrong wl_output. The surface
listener is what will eventually correct this and pick the correct
output. However not everything was technically working correctly in a
multi-output setup.
The first rule here is to rework find_output so that it returns a
vo_wayland_output instead of internally setting wl->current_output. The
reason is simply because the output found here is not guaranteed to be
the output the surface is actually on. Note that for initialization of
the player, we must set the output returned from this function as the
wl->current_output even if it is not technically correct. The surface
listener will fix it later.
vo_wayland_reconfig has to confusingly serve two roles. It must ensure
some wayland-related things are configured as well as setup things for
mpv's vo. The various functions are shuffled around and some things are
removed here which has subtle implications. For instance, there's no
reason to always set the buffer scale. It only needs to be done once
(when the wl->current_output is being created). A roundtrip needs to be
done once after a wl_surface_commit to ensure there are no configuration
errors.
surface_handle_enter is now handles two different things: scaling as
well as mpv's autofit/geometry options. When a surface enters a new
output, the new scaling value is applied to all of the geometry-related
structs (previously, this wasn't done). This ensures, in a multi-monitor
case with mixed scale values, the surface is rescaled correctly to the
actual output it is on if the initial selection of wl->current_output is
incorrect.
Additionally, autofit/geometry values are recalculated if they exist.
This means that dragging a surface across different outputs will autofit
correctly to the new output and not always be "stuck" on the old one.
A very astute observer may notice that set_buffer_scale isn't set when
the surface enters a new output. The API doesn't really indicate this,
but a WAYLAND_DEBUG log reveals that the compositor (well at least
sway/wlroots anyway) magically sets this for you. That's quite fortunate
because setting in the surface handler caused all sorts of problems.
in the original commit, that removed the conditional clearing, an
incorrect assumption was made that clearing "should be practically free"
and can be done always. though, at least on macOS + intel this can have
a performance impact of up to 50% increased usage. it might have an
impact on other platforms and setups as well, but this is unconfirmed.
the reason for removing the conditional clearing was to partially work
around a driver bug on very specific setups, X11 with amdgpu and OpenGL,
to clear garbled frames on start. though it still has issues with
garbled frames in other situation like fullscreening. there is also an
open bug report on the mesa bug tracker about this. setting the
radeonsi_zerovram flag works around all of those issues.
since the flag works around all these issues and the original fix
doesn't work completely we revert it and keep our optimisation.
Fixes#8273
the screen-name and fs-screen-name option allow for specifying screens
based on their name. this is the name of the NSScreen and also reported
by the VOCTRL_GET_DISPLAY_NAMES event. the old screen and fs-screen
options by id, respectively, are preferred over these new ones.
In wayland, setting the surface on a specific monitor only works in
fullscreen so only --fs-screen-name can be implemented. Like with x11,
we prefer --fs-screen over --fs-screen-name if it is set. This may be
more useful than setting by ids because there's no guaranteed order in
which screens are added in wayland. In wayland, the name used here is
the model name detected by the output_listener.
The --screen-name and --fs-screen-name options allow for specifying
screens based on their name. For x11, this is the display name reported
by xrandr. --screen-name and --fs-screen-name mimic the --screen and
--fs-screen options respectively. If --screen is set, then --screen-name
will always do nothing. Likewise, --fs-screen-name does nothing if
--fs-screen is set.
Simple groundwork for adding a couple of user options that allow
selecting the screen with a string name. The next two commits implements
these options for xorg and wayland.
While this says that _ is replaced with -, it doesn't say that you HAVE
to use _. This isn't obvious and I didn't understand why my profile
conditions with - weren't working at first. Seeing as the person who
reproted #8324 ran into this as well, this may be worth clarifying.
Zlib has had a .pc file since 2010, and the default search paths we use
here can break the build on some distros (notably openSUSE Tumbleweed,
which our Travis builds use). Just check pkg-config instead.
Our canvas size calculation is affected by few factors, and rounded
down more than once - which can result in 0 width or (more typically)
height - e.g. when terminal height is one row.
If the width or height are 0 then all bets are off, so simply skip
the setups and rendering on this case. We can still recover
automatically if the terminal is resized to become bigger.
The obvious approach would be SIGWINCH, however, integrating it would
be tricky, so instead we simply poll the size on draw_frame.
This means the image won't resize automatically when still - e.g.
cover art or when paused, though it would re-fit on OSD changes.
This is commonly used by UHD/HDR sources, and mpv hilariously ignores it
up until now, just blindly mapping it to MP_CHROMA_AUTO without even so
much as a warning message.
It would be justified to add all the other chroma locations as well, but
I'm lazy and just wanted to quickly fix this bug.
homebrew is removing 10.13 support and some of the dependencies start
building rom source now. we will just pin the last working homebrew
version, similar to the 10.12 build
The reference is allocated at reconfig and happens at least once (and
leaked at least once), but can also be called more, e.g. on zoom or
pan-and-scan changes.
The reference is allocated at reconfig (and leaked at least once), but
could theoretically be called more than once by mpv, or in the future
when the tct code is enhanced to hande e.g. pan-and-scan changes.
testdither was being created irrespective of whether
opt_fixedpal is set or not. In case of opt_fixedpal=1,
testdither is not used in the `prepare_static_palette`
code. Hence only initialize it when opt_fixedpal is 0.
In sixel_dither_initialize, replace 3 with the libsixel
SIXEL_PIXELFORMAT_RGB888. Also in sixel_encode, the 4th
parameter is supposed to be depth, which also happens
to be the value of PIXELFORMAT_RGB888, so replacing that
constant with the depth value.
Since 0.33.0 mpv does not support python2. This commit removes
python2 support from the file completely with the following
changes:
- __future__ import of print_function is python2 only
- unicode literals are legacy in python3
- 'sys.version_info.major < 3' check is redundant
In 0.33.0 python2 support has been removed from mpv's build system. This
commit removes python2 compatibility code from bootstrap.py with the
following changes:
- __future__ import for print_function is not needed
- urllib2 is python2 only
For two reasons:
1. It was counter intuitive that there's an "auto" value (which is
actually a libsixel value and not an mpv one), but it's not the
default value - our default was Atkinson.
2. "auto" provides better dithering than Atkinson with libsixel, which
is especially noticeable with smooth gradients - where Atkinson has
visible banding.
In libsixel 1.8.2 the "auto" value maps to Atkinson if the output
palette has up to 16 colors, or to Floyd-Steinberg otherwise (e.g.
using fixed palette with 256 colors chooses Floyd-Steinberg).
The issue was that we only uploaded the palette to the terminal when it
changed (once on init with fixed palette, every frame with dynamic
palette with trheshold=-1, only on scene change with threshold >= 0).
Now we upload it on every frame, and it seems to fix the mlterm image
corruption both with fixed palette and also with dynamic palette with
threshold (i.e. at frames which did not upload a palette).
It's not entirely clear why it's required with mlterm.
It would seem that the palette which libsixel uses with fixed palette
matches the built in default palette in xterm, but not in mlterm.
With dynamic palette we can guess that mlterm resets the palette after a
sixel image, but that's not confirmed.
Uploading the palette on every frame doesn't seem to slow down xterm
when using fixed palette - not clear yet why uploading a different
palette (when using fixedpalette=no) slows it down while same palette
on every frame doesn't.
In mlterm there's no slowdown either way - and now also no corruption.
By default we still clear the screen, but now it's possible to leave the
last sixel image on screen.
Allows mpv to be used as img2sixel of sorts, but with our auto-fit and
various mpv scaling/filters etc.
When mpv is in the background because it was started with
`mpv foo.mp3 &`, or the user did ctrl+z bg, and is then brought to the
foreground with fg, it buffers input until you press enter. This makes
it accept input almost immediately. Having a short interval isn't
important, since input is buffered until the next loop iteration.
Closes#8120.
Trigraphs such as "??=" (which are enabled by default with -std=c11)
can mess up strings, so avoid them entirely by escaping question marks.
This also drops Python 2 compatibility from file2string, making the
change to the waf rule necessary. The input file is now opened in
binary mode which is also more correct versus the old text mode
which just happened to work even on binary files.
This reverts commit 3d17e19c2c.
The effect of turning off this setting is that mpv doesn't tell libass what
the video stream's resolution is. This happens to result in some files having
their transforms scaled in ways that give higher performance (as described
in #7435) because libass happened to guess a video resolution that resulted
in transforms yielding smaller bitmaps, but it's just as easy for the opposite
to happen depending on the resolutions and effects involved.
The option's name is also somewhat misleading: setting the storage size affects
blur, but it also affects stroke (which is far more important for the vast
majority of scripts) and 3D transforms (which look very screwy when done wrong).
Upstream waf still ships with the default interpreter being "python",
though the script works with both Python 2 and Python 3 (they're not
changing the default choice during 2.0.x releases for compatibility
reasons apparently). Add code to bootstrap.py to change the
interpreter from "python" to "python3" when downloading the "waf"
file.
Running any mpv code under Python 2 should be considered unsupported
in the future (and any code added need not work under Python 2).
remove the hardcoded swift target version and move the version
restriction to configure. this was a bad idea anyway and could lead to
mismatched object files between obj-c and swift. fix travis 10.12 legacy
build.
also update the SDK version parser to handle the new macOS 11 scheme.
Fixes#8281
Currently in mpv functions sixel failures return the
value status which is of type SIXELSTATUS. So changing
it to -1 which is explicit and compatible with mpv.
Also log the errors using MP_ERR/MP_LOG with the
error string returned by libsixel to have more info.
fixedpalette seems to be slightly faster than dynamic
palette, and also in mlterm it avoids corruption of
too bright values overflowing to black. Hence setting
it to be default choice instead of dynamic palette.
Resize the image based on the dimensions reported by
vo_get_src_dst_rects to correctly handle aspect ratio
that might be set/ignored.
Added pad-x and pad-y options for padding.
These options will be used to remove the extra padding.
Some terminals report the padding of 2px in the ioctl
dimensions which can't be used for displaying sixel
output. These options can be used for fine tuning
the output video resolution.
Now all the terminal size detection and calculation logic
is done in a single function at resize. Also top and left
values are computed from the dst_rect parameters to simplify
the logic for the aspect ratio based centering.
Additionally vo-sixel-rows and vo-sixel-cols options
have been added to enable the user to override the values
in case of failures with get_terminal_size2.
This commit also adds ability to handle video zoom correctly.
Whenever video-zoom is triggered, the src and dst rects
will be updated. Scaling seems to work well now.
This has no changes to mpv sixel playback behaviour.
This is required because currently the offset values
and the resolutions are being overwritten and not
remembered.
Having them in the same line made it hard to read them in the man page
since they are formatted in the same way and they look as though they
are only one definition.
Recent versions of mpv have applied security checks to --playlist
that previously only existed if playlist files were played as an
input directly. This commit documents this change and how to work
around it, in the event that playlist files are trusted.
Previously the mouse command never ended up in enter/leave keypresses
for the default section even when logically required, because input.c
does not know the area of the default section and relies on something
feeding it ENTER/LEAVE presses - which the VO typically does but the
mouse command didn't.
Now the mouse command feeds it ENTER/LEAVE if required.
It's possible to handle it differently and more consistently by:
1. reverting this commit.
2. Updating the default section area whenever the osd dimensions change.
3. Always ignore MOUSE_ENTER keys because the position is not known yet
(but MOSE_MOVE typically follows right away).
4. On mouse move: first generate ENTER/LEAVE if required.
That would guarantee consistency between mouse position and enter/leave
events but could be more sensitive to manage (the default section has
"infinite" area which is used to capture any event outside of specific
section areas), while this commit keeps consistency same as before and
depending on correct external feeding - which we now do better, even if
still not optimally (like before, it's still technically possible that
a script recieves MOUSE_ENTER and then reads the position before it got
updated after the ENTER).
