See --lavfi-complex option.
This is still quite rough. There's no support for dynamic configuration
of any kind. There are probably corner cases where playback might freeze
or burn 100% CPU (due to dataflow problems when interaction with
libavfilter).
Future possible plans might include:
- freely switch tracks by providing some sort of default track graph
label
- automatically enabling audio visualization
- automatically mix audio or stack video when multiple tracks are
selected at once (similar to how multiple sub tracks can be selected)
GLES does not support high bit depth fixed point textures for unknown
reasons, so direct 10 bit input is not possible. But we can still use
integer textures, which are supported by GLES 3.0. These store integer
data just like the standard fixed point textures, except they are not
normalized on sampling. They also don't support bilinear filtering, and
require a special sampler ("usampler2D").
While these texture formats enable us to shuffle the data to the GPU,
they're rather impractical with the requirements mentioned above and our
current architecture. One problem is that most code assumes it can
always use bilinear scaling (even if bilinear is never used when using
appropriate scale/cscale options). Another is that we don't have any
concept of running a function on a texture in an uniform way.
So for now, run a simple conversion step through a FBO. The FBO will use
the rgba16f format normally, which gives enough bits for 10 bit, and
will at least gracefully degrade with higher depth input.
This is bound to be much slower than a more "direct" method, but at
least it works and is simple to implement.
The odd change of function call order in init_video() is to properly
disable "dumb mode" (no FBO use) if these texture formats are in use.
This seems generally easier when using libmpv (and was already requested
and implemented before: see commit 327a779a; it was reverted some time
later).
With the weird internal logic we have to deal with, in particular the
--softvol=no case (using system volume), and using the audio API's mixer
(--softvol=auto on some systems), we still can't avoid all glitches and
corner cases that complicate this issue so much. The API user is either
recommended to use --softvol=yes or auto, or to watch the new
mixer-active property, and assume the volume/mute properties have
significant values if the mixer is active.
Remaining glitches:
- changing the volume/mute properties has no effect if no internal mixer
is used (--softvol=no) and the mixer is not active; the actual mixer
controls do not change, only the property values
- --volume/--mute do not have an effect on the volume/mute properties
before mixer initialization (the options strictly are only applied
during mixer init)
- volume-max is 100 while the mixer is not active
Often requested. The main argument, that prominent scalers like sharpen
change the image even if no scaling happens, disappeared anyway.
("sharpen", unsharp masking, is neither prominent nor a scaler anymore.
This is an artifact from MPlayer, which fuses unsharp masking with
bilinear scaling in order to make it single-pass, or so.)
This is probably the 3rd time the user-visible behavior changes. This
time, switch back because not normalizing seems to be the more expected
behavior from users.
Too many problems. Well, actually it's just Linux audio systems which
cause problems, and exclusive audio access on other platforms.
In any case, it seems you have to do some manual configuration if you
want multichannel audio output.
Since the streams are chosen from the full TS by the player frontend,
one should not expect that the program which is shown matches the chosen
channel which was used for tuning to the frequency.
Also, reformulate slightly to simplify reading.
Windows definitely supports Unix-style fd inheritance. This mostly
worked when launched from mpv.exe, though mpv should change the file
mode to O_BINARY. When launched from mpv.com, the wrapper must pass the
list of handles (stored in the undocumented lpReserved2 and cbReserved2
fields) to the mpv process.
It existed for XP-compatibility only. There was also a time where
ao_wasapi caused issues, but we're relatively confident that ao_wasapi
works better or at least as good as ao_dsound on Windows Vista and
later.
Always preroll by default if the cue (index) information indicates
overlapping subtitles.
Increase the amount of maximum data it will skip to get such subtitles
to 10 seconds. Since the index information can reliably tell whether
reading earlier is needed, the maximum should be rarely actually used,
thus we can set it high. On the other hand, the "old" prerolling
mechanism always has to skip the maximum amount of data; thus the method
using the index gets its own option to control the maximum amount of
data to skip.
(As more and more files With newer mkvtoolnix versions are muxed, and
with this new and hopefully sane default established, these options can
probably be removed in the future.)
Requested. It works like --sub-paths. This will also load audio files
from a "audio" sub directory in the config file (because the same code
as for subtitles is used, and it also had such a feature).
Fixes#2632.
The "script-binding" command is used by the Lua scripting wrapper to
register key bindings on the fly. It's also the only way to get fine-
grained information about key events (such as separate key up/down
events). This information is sent via a "key-binding" message when the
state of a key changes.
Extend it to send name of the mapped key itself. Previously, it was
assumed that the user just uses an unique identifier for the binding's
name, so it wasn't needed. With this change, a user can map exactly the
same command to multiple keys, which is useful especially with the next
commit.
Part of #2612.
Add a "blend-tiles" choice to the "alpha" sub-option. This is pretty
simplistic and uses the GL raster position to derive the tiles. A weird
consequence is that using --vo=opengl and --vo=opengl-hq gives different
scaling behavior (screenspace pixel size vs. source video pixel size
16x16 tiles), but it seems we don't have easy access to the original
texture coordinates. Using the rasterpos is probably simpler.
Make this option the default.
This is for the sake of command.c and the "deinterlace" option/property.
Instead of forcing certain "better" defaults when inserting yadif,
change the actual "yadif" defaults.
I pondered not changing vf_yadif, and instead adding a trivial "yadif-
auto" wrapper filter, which would merely have different defaults. But
thinking about it, it doesn't make any sense for "deinterlace" to have
different defaults from vf_yadif, with vf_yadif having the "worse"
defaults. If someone wants the old behavior, the old behavior can be
forced in a backward and forward compatible way by setting the
suboptions.
Fixes#2539 (kind of).
MPlayer traditionally always used the display aspect ratio, e.g. 16:9,
while FFmpeg uses the sample (aka pixel) aspect ratio.
Both have a bunch of advantages and disadvantages. Actually, it seems
using sample aspect ratio is generally nicer. The main reason for the
change is making mpv closer to how FFmpeg works in order to make life
easier. It's also nice that everything uses integer fractions instead
of floats now (except --video-aspect option/property).
Note that there is at least 1 user-visible change: vf_dsize now does
not set the display size, only the display aspect ratio. This is
because the image_params d_w/d_h fields did not just set the display
aspect, but also the size (except in encoding mode).
WGL_NV_DX_interop is widely supported by Nvidia and AMD drivers. It
allows a texture to be shared between Direct3D and WGL, so that
rendering can be done with WGL and presentation can be done with
Direct3D. This should allow us to work around some persistent WGL
issues, such as dropped frames with some driver/OS combos, drivers that
buffer frames to increase performance at the cost of latency, and the
inability to disable exclusive fullscreen mode when using WGL to render
to a fullscreen window.
The addition of a DX_interop backend might also enable some cool
Direct3D-specific enhancements in the future, such as using the
GetPresentStatistics API to get accurate frame presentation timestamps.
Note that due to a driver bug, this backend is currently broken on
Intel. It will appear to work as long as the window is not resized too
often, but after a few changes of size it will be unable to share the
newly created renderbuffer with GL. See:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/graphics-driver-bug-reporting/topic/562051
This is only for specific Hauppage cards. According to the comments in
who is actively using this feature. Get it out of the way.
Anyone who still wants to use this should complain. Keeping this code
would not cause terribly much additional work, and it could be restored
again. (But not if the request comes months later.)
It turns out that with accurate lookup we can decrease the
default size of texture now. Do it to compensate the performance
loss introduced by the LUT_POS macro.
This adds basic support for ICC profiles. Per-monitor profiles are
supported. WCS profiles are not supported, but there is an API for
converting WCS profiles to ICC, so they might be supported in future.
I'm just not sure if anyone actually uses them.
Reloading the ICC profile when it's changed in the control panel is also
not supported. This might be possible by using the WCS APIs and watching
the registry for changes, but there is no official API for it, and as
far as I can tell, no other Windows programs can do it.
This logic was kind of questionable anyway, and --display-sync should
give much better results. (I would even go as far as saying that the
FPS-dependent framedrop code made things worse in some situations. Not
all, though.)
This is simply the average refresh rate. Including "bad" samples is
actually an advantage, because the property exists only for
informational purposes, and will reflect problems such as the driver
skipping a vsync.
Also export the standard deviation of the vsync frame duration
(normalized to the range 0-1) as vsync-jitter property.
The OSD takes up an entire fullscreen dispmanx layer. Although the GPU
should be able to handle it (possibly even without any disadvantages),
it'll still be useful for debugging performance issues.
Running mpv with default config will now pick up ANGLE by default. Since
some think ANGLE is still not good enough for hq features, extend the
"es" option to reject GLES backends, and add to to the opengl-hq preset.
One consequence is that mpv will by default use libswscale to convert
10 bit video to 8 bit, before it reaches the VO.
I decided that I actually can't stand how vo_opengl unnecessarily puts
the video through 3 shader stages (instead of 1). Thus, what was meant
to be a fallback for weak OpenGL implementations, the dumb-mode, now
becomes default if the user settings allow it.
The code required to check for the settings isn't so wild, so I guess
it's manageable. I still hope that one day, our rendering logic can
generate ideal shader stages for this case too.
Note that in theory, dumb-mode could be reenabled at runtime due to a
color management 3D LUT being set, so a separate dumb_mode field is
required. The dumb-mode option can't just be overwritten.
Most of this is explained in the DOCS additions.
This gives us slightly more sanity, because there is less interaction
between the various parts. The goal is getting rid of the video_offset
entirely.
The simplification extends to the user API. In particular, we don't need
to fix missing parts in the API, such as the lack for a seek command
that seeks relatively to the start time. All these things are now
transparent.
(If someone really wants to know the real timestamps/start time, new
properties would have to be added.)
This is very "illustrative", unlike the video-speed-correction
property, and thus useful. It can also be used to observe scheduling
errors, which are not detected by the core. (These happen due to
rounding errors; possibly not evne our fault, but coming from
files with rounded timestamps and so on.)
"Missed" implies the frame was dropped, but what really happens is that
the following frame will be shown later than intended (due to the
current frame skipping a vsync).
(As of this commit, this property is still inactive and always
returns 0. See git blame for details.)
Apparently Windows treats windows that use OpenGL, cover an entire
screen and have the WS_POPUP style set or are topmost windows as
exclusive fullscreen windows that bypass DWM and cannot be covered
by other windows.
This means we can’t use dwmflush in fullscreen mode, and it also
means that no other window can cover mpv, and it makes the screen
flicker when switching to fullscreen mode.
This can be avoided by not setting the WS_POPUP flag.
Users can still access the old behavior by enabling stay-on-top
(which IMO at least makes sense—now we just need to get dwmflush
autodetection right to avoid nasty surprises).
fixes#2177
vo_opengl_cb is a special case, because we somehow have to render video
asynchronously, all while "trusting" the API user to do it correctly.
This didn't quite work, and a while ago a compromise using a timeout to
prevent theoretically possible deadlocks was added.
Make it even more synchronous. Basically, go all the way, and
synchronize rendering between VO and user renderer thread to the
full extent possible.
This means the silly frame queue is dropped, and we event attempt to
synchronize the GL SwapBuffer call (via mpv_opengl_cb_report_flip()).
The changes introduced with commit dc33eb56 are effectively dropped. I
don't even remember if they mattered.
In the future, we might make all VOs fetch asynchronously from a frame
queue, which would mostly remove the differences between vo_opengl and
vo_opengl_cb, but this will take a while (if it will even be done).
Has the same function as setting the option.
This commit changes the property in a bunch of other ways. For example
if the VO is not created, it will return the option value.
The examples demonstrates use with optical media, which is far from
mpv's main purpose.
The authors section is a leftover from MPlayer times. There are enough
other places which reiterate how mpv is based on mplayer2/MPlayer,
copyright statements, and so on.
Hint that the linked section contains information for Windows. (Well,
that's a lie, but it has a link to the Windows section.)
Avoid implying that lines in the config file end with ';'. Also, the <>
are probably just confusing.
Notes:
- Unfortunately the only way to talk to EGL from within DRM I could find
involves linking with GBM (generic buffer management for Mesa.)
Because of this, I'm pretty sure it won't work with proprietary NVidia
drivers, but then again, last time I checked NVidia didn't offer
proper screen resolution for VT.
- VT switching doesn't seem to work at all. It's worth mentioning that
using vo_drm before introduction of VT switcher had an anomaly where
user could switch to another VT and input text to it, while video
played on top of that VT. However, that isn't the case with drm_egl:
I can't switch to other VT during playback like this. This makes me
think that it's either a limitation coming from my firmware or from
EGL/KMS itself rather than a bug with my code. Nonetheless, I still
left (untestable) VT switching code in place, in case it's useful to
someone else.
- The mode_id, connector_id and device_path should be configurable for
power users and people who wish to watch videos on nonprimary screen.
Unfortunately I didn't see anything that would allow OpenGL backends
to register their own set of options. At the same time, adding them to
global namespace is pointless.
- A few dozens of lines could be shared with vo_drm (setting up VT
switching, most of code behind page flipping). I don't have any strong
opinion on this.
- Sometimes I get minor visual glitches. I'm not sure if there's a race
condition of some sort, unitialized variable (doubtful), or if it's
buggy driver. (I'm using integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 with Mesa)
- .config and .control are very minimal.

While it seemed like a pretty good idea at first, it's just a dead end
and works only in the simplest cases. While it may or may not help
slightly with audio sync mode, the display-sync mode already compensates
this in a better way. The main issue is that timestamps at this layer
are not in order, so it can look at single timestamps only.
Implement NNEDI3, a neural network based deinterlacer.
The shader is reimplemented in GLSL and supports both 8x4 and 8x6
sampling window now. This allows the shader to be licensed
under LGPL2.1 so that it can be used in mpv.
The current implementation supports uploading the NN weights (up to
51kb with placebo setting) in two different way, via uniform buffer
object or hard coding into shader source. UBO requires OpenGL 3.1,
which only guarantee 16kb per block. But I find that 64kb seems to be
a default setting for recent card/driver (which nnedi3 is targeting),
so I think we're fine here (with default nnedi3 setting the size of
weights is 9kb). Hard-coding into shader requires OpenGL 3.3, for the
"intBitsToFloat()" built-in function. This is necessary to precisely
represent these weights in GLSL. I tried several human readable
floating point number format (with really high precision as for
single precision float), but for some reason they are not working
nicely, bad pixels (with NaN value) could be produced with some
weights set.
We could also add support to upload these weights with texture, just
for compatibility reason (etc. upscaling a still image with a low end
graphics card). But as I tested, it's rather slow even with 1D
texture (we probably had to use 2D texture due to dimension size
limitation). Since there is always better choice to do NNEDI3
upscaling for still image (vapoursynth plugin), it's not implemented
in this commit. If this turns out to be a popular demand from the
user, it should be easy to add it later.
For those who wants to optimize the performance a bit further, the
bottleneck seems to be:
1. overhead to upload and access these weights, (in particular,
the shader code will be regenerated for each frame, it's on CPU
though).
2. "dot()" performance in the main loop.
3. "exp()" performance in the main loop, there are various fast
implementation with some bit tricks (probably with the help of the
intBitsToFloat function).
The code is tested with nvidia card and driver (355.11), on Linux.
Closes#2230
Add the Super-xBR filter for image doubling, and the prescaling framework
to support it.
The shader code was ported from MPDN extensions project, with
modification to process luma only.
This commit is largely inspired by code from #2266, with
`gl_transform_trans()` authored by @haasn taken directly.
A hw decoder might fail to decode a frame for multiple reasons, and not
always just because decoding is impossible. We can't generally
distinguish these reasons well. Make it more tolerant by accepting
failures of 3 frames, but not more. The threshold can be adjusted by the
repurposed --vd-lavc-software-fallback option.
(This behavior was suggested much earlier in some PR, but at the time
the "proper" hwdec fallback was indistinguishable from decoding error.
With the current situation, "proper" fallback is still instantious.)
Enable it by default, but not unconditionally. Add an "auto" mode, which
disable DwmFlush if the compositor is (probably) inactive. Let's see how
this goes.
Since I accidentally enabled DwmFlush always by default (more or less)
in a previous commit touching this code, this is probably mostly just
cargo-culting, and it's uncertain whether it does anything.
Note that I still got bad vsync behavior when fullscreening mpv, and
making another window visible on the same screen. This happens even if
forcing DWM.
Yet another relatively useless option that tries to make OpenGL's sync
behavior somewhat sane. The results are not too encouraging. With a
value of 1, vsync jitter is gone on nVidia, but there are frame drops
(less than with glfinish). With 2, I get the usual vsync jitter _and_
frame drops.
There's still some hope that it might prevent too deep queuing with some
GPUs, I guess.
The timeout for the wait call is 1 second. The value is pretty
arbitrary; it should just not be too high to freeze the process (if
the GPU is un-nice), and not too low to trigger the timeout in normal
cases, even if the GPU load is very high. So I guess 1 second is ok
as a timeout.
The idea to use fences this way to control the queue depth was stolen
from RetroArch:
df01279cf3/gfx/drivers/gl.c (L1856)
It's great that the new algorithm supports multiple placebo iterations
and all, but it's really not necessary and hurts performance in the
general case for the sake of the 0.1% that actually pause the screen
and look for minute differences.

Thanks to rcombs, ffmpeg now properly supports DASH and we can
remove our hacks for it and use it by default whenever
available. If you don't like this for whatever reason, you
can get the "normal" streams back with --ytdl-format=best .
Closes#579Closes#1321Closes#2359
libass 0.13.0 breaks this due to removal of fontconfig from its core
(instead, fontconfig is one possible backend, and pattern lookup is
apparently not possible anymore).
Useless. Sometimes it might be useful to make some extremely broken
files work, but on the other hand --no-correct-pts is sufficient for
these cases.
While we still need some of the code for AVI, the "auto" mode in
particular inflated the size of the code.
The manpage entry explains this.
(Maybe this option could be always enabled and removed. I don't quite
remember what valid use-cases there are for just disabling audio
entirely, other than that this is also needed for audio decoder init
failure.)
This reverts commit d11184a256.
Unfortunately, there was a lot of unexpected resistance.
Do note that this is still extremely slow, crappy, etc.
Note that vo_x11.c was further edited. Compared to the removed vo_x11.c,
an additional ~200 lines of code was removed in order to simplify it. I
tried to strip it down as much as possible. In particular, support for
odd non-32 bit formats (24, 16, 15, 8 bit) is dropped.
Closes#2300.
The vf_format suboption is replaced with --video-output-levels (a global
option and property). In particular, the parameter is removed from
mp_image_params. The mechanism is moved to the "video equalizer", which
also handles common video output customization like brightness and
contrast controls.
The new code is slightly cleaner, and the top-level option is slightly
more user-friendly than as vf_format sub-option.
VideoToolbox is preferred. Now that FFmpeg released 2.8, there's no
reason to support VDA anymore. In fact, we had a bug that made VDA not
useable with older FFmpeg versions in some newer mpv releases.
VideoToolbox is supported even on slightly older OSX versions, and if
not, you still can run mpv without hw decoding.
This turns the old scalers (inherited from MPlayer) into a pre-
processing step (after color conversion and before scaling). The code
for the "sharpen5" scaler is reused for this.
The main reason MPlayer implemented this as scalers was perhaps because
FBOs were too expensive, and making it a scaler allowed to implement
this in 1 pass. But unsharp masking is not really a scaler, and I would
guess the result is more like combining bilinear scaling and unsharp
masking.
I see no point in keeping these around. Keeping wrappers for some select
libavfilter filters just because MPlayer had these filters is not a good
reason.
Ultimately, all real filtering work should go to libavfilter, and users
should get used to using vf_lavfi directly. We might even not require
the awful double-nested syntax for using libavfilter one day.
vf_rotate, vf_yadif, vf_stereo3d are kept because mpv uses them
internally. (They all extend the lavfi filters or change their
defaults.) vf_mirror is kept for symmetry with vf_flip. vf_gradfun and
vf_pullup are probably semi-popular, so I'll remove them not yet - only
after some more discussion.
This causes weirdness with the "cache-size" property and option. Only
the read handler of the property included the backbuffer, while all
others did not. Make it consistent, and subtract the backbuffer size
from the cache size.
Fixes#2305.
The removal of source-shader is a side effect, since this effectively
replaces it - and the video-reading code has been significantly
restructured to make more sense and be more readable.
This means users no longer have to constantly download and maintain a
separate deband.glsl installation alongside mpv, which was the only real
use case for source-shader that we found either way.
The single path optimization, rendering the video in one shader pass and
without FBO indirections, was removed soem commits ago. It didn't have a
place in this code, and caused considerable complexity and maintenance
issues.
On the other hand, it still has some worth, such as for use with
extremely crappy hardware (GLES only or OpenGL 2.1 without FBO
extension). Ideally, these use cases would be handled by a separate VO
(say, vo_gles). While cleaner, this would still cause code duplication
and other complexity.
The third option is making the single-pass optimization a completely
separate code path, with most vo_opengl features disabled. While this
does duplicate some functionality (such as "unpacking" the video data
from textures), it's also relatively unintrusive, and the high quality
code path doesn't need to take it into account at all. On another
positive node, this "dumb-mode" could be forced in other cases where
OpenGL 2.1 is not enough, and where we don't want to care about versions
this old.
This change makes vo_opengl slightly less compatible (ancient devices
without FBOs will no longer work) and decreases performance in the
simplest case (vo=opengl), in exchange for significantly reducing code
complexity and making everything easier to reason about.
Some users still use this filter, so the filter was going to be kept.
But I overlooked that libavfilter provides this filter. Remove the
redundant wrapper from mpv. Something like --af=lavfi=bs2b should work
and give exactly the same results.
All of these filters are considered not useful anymore by us. Some have
replacements in libavfilter (useable through af_lavfi).
af_center, af_extrastereo, af_karaoke, af_sinesuppress, af_sub,
af_surround, af_sweep: pretty simple and useless filters which probably
nobody ever wants.
af_ladspa: has a replacement in libavfilter.
af_hrtf: the algorithm doesn't work properly on most sources, and the
implementation was buggy and complicated. (The filter was inherited from
MPlayer; but even in mpv times we had to apply fixes that fixed major
issues with added noise.) There is a ladspa filter if you still want to
use it.
af_export: I'm not even sure what this is supposed to do. Possibly it
was meant for GUIs rendering audio visualizations, but it couldn't
really work well. For example, the size of the audio depended on the
samplerate (fixed number of samples only), and it couldn't retrieve the
complete audio, only fragments. If this is really needed for GUIs, mpv
should add native visualization, or a proper API for it.
Can significantly help with very large video resolutions on nvidia
drivers. It doesn't seem to have negative effects on Intel drivers
either. (Although it could have on Intel drivers for older hardware.)
For now, this is only for --vo=opengl-hq. Maybe --vo=opengl should use
it too, but it's still meant to be the crappy, fail-safe default.
Provides a simplistic way to seek without having to care about weird
situations like timestamp vs. playback time. This is good, because the
seek command is currently timestamp based, so when using the seek
command the user _does_ have to care.
This significantly reduces the amount of noticeable flashing when using
tscale kernels with negative lobes, by cutting them off completely.
I'm not sure if this has any negative effects. It needs a bit of
subjective testing over a period of time, so I just made it an option.
Fixes#2155.
If this mode is enabled, the player tries to strictly synchronize video
to display refresh. It will adjust playback speed to match the display,
so if you play 23.976 fps video on a 24 Hz screen, playback speed is
increased by approximately 1/1000. Audio wll be resampled to keep up
with playback.
This is different from the default sync mode, which will sync video to
audio, with the consequence that video might skip or repeat a frame once
in a while to make video keep up with audio.
This is still unpolished. There are some major problems as well; in
particular, mkv VFR files won't work well. The reason is that Matroska
is terrible and rounds timestamps to milliseconds. This makes it rather
hard to guess the framerate of a section of video that is playing. We
could probably fix this by just accepting jittery timestamps (instead
of explicitly disabling the sync code in this case), but I'm not ready
to accept such a solution yet.
Another issue is that we are extremely reliant on OS video and audio
APIs working in an expected manner, which of course is not too often
the case. Consequently, the new sync mode is a bit fragile.
For video sync, we want separate playback speed controls for user-
requested speed and the "correction" speed for video timing. Further, we
use this separation to make sure only a resampler is inserted if
playback speed is only changed for video sync correction.
As of this commit, this is basically inactive code. It's just
preparation for the video sync code (the following commit).
This doesn't work too well if sections of the file change to a different
framerate. It lowers our chances to guess the correct FPS in the display
sync code.
For normal playback, this (probably) doesn't help that much anyway,
except that the "estimated-vf-fps" property will regress in the simplest
mkv case. This will be fixed with the next commit.
The now disabled code will probably be removed; it's not useful anymore.
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.
This was requested. It was more or less present internally already and
used for Lua scripting. Lua will switch to the "public" functions in
the following commits.
Add --demuxer-max-packets and --demuxer-max-bytes, which control the
maximum size of the packet queue. These can be helpful to avoid
excessive memory usage.
Memory usage is the reason why there's a limit in the first place. If a
file is more or less broken, and audio and video don't line up, the
decoders will fill up the packet queue trying to read more audio or
video, and the maximum sizes are required to avoid unbounded memory
allocation. Being able to override the maximum sizes is useful; either
for restricting memory usage further, or enlarging the sizes when
attempting to play various broken files.
Remove --demuxer-readahead-packets and --demuxer-readahead-bytes. These
were a bit useless. They could force a minimum packet queue size, but
controlling the queue size with --demuxer-readahead-secs is much nicer.
It's fairly certain nobody ever used these options.
Drop d for toggling framedrop. Toggling this is way too special to be at
such a prominent place, and in fact I believe toggling it is pointless.
Remap deinterlacing from D to d. It's relatively useful and non-
destructive.
As suggested in #973 (almost).
Nobody wanted to restore this, so it gets the boot.
If anyone still wants to volunteer to restore menu support, this would
be welcome. (I might even try it myself if I feel masochistic and like
wasting a lot of time for nothing.) But if it does get restored, it
should be done differently. There were many stupid things about how it
was done. For example, it somehow tried to pull mp_nav_events through
all the layers (including needing to "buffer" them in the demuxer),
which was needlessly complicated. It could be done simpler.
This code was already inactive, so this commit actually changes nothing.
Also keep in mind that normal DVD/BD playback still works.
For now, it needs to be explicitly selected. ENCA is still the default.
This assumes uchardet returns iconv names. This doesn't seem to be
always the case, and the result are lots of iconv errors. So
explicitly check for this situation, and print a warning if it
occurs. It's entirely possible that uchardet support is actually
useless, because names are not necessarily iconv-compatible (but
uchardet doesn't seem to document whether it attempts to return
iconv-compatible names if possible).
Fixes#908.
See manpage additions.
The main reason for adding this is that we can't guess whether the user
wants his config in his Windows profile or not. The user basically has
to tell mpv what should be done, and the "portable_config" directory
does this implicitly.
Fixes#2042 (approximately).
This is an unfortunate fact of life. Maybe making this the default
wasn't such a good idea after all.
Also update etc/example.conf. It used an obsolete alias for "auto".
