A pain point for some users is the fact that watch_later is stored in
the ~/.config directory when it's really not configuration data. Roughly
2 years ago, XDG_STATE_DIR was added to the XDG Base Directory
Specification[0] and its description, user-specific state data, actually
perfectly matches what watch_later data is for. Let's go ahead and use
this directory as the default for watch_later. This change only affects
non-darwin unix-like systems (i.e. Linux, BSDs, etc.). The directory
doesn't move for anyone else.
Internally, quite a few things change with regards to the path
selection. If the platform in question does not have a statedir concept,
then the path selection will simply return "home" instead (old
behavior). Fixes#9147.

Since meson has its own unit testing system, let's rework mpv's tests so
they integrate nicely with this. To prepare for this, start off by
dropping the unittest option. Of course, this means that tests will no
longer be supported in the waf build at all but it will be dropped
anyway. Note that the tests option is preserved for the meson build. We
will still make use of this in the future commits.
mpv's window resizing logic always automatically resized the window
whenever the video resolution changed (i.e. advancing forward in a
playlist). This simply introduces the option to make this behavior
configurable. Every windowing backend would need to implement this
behavior in their code since a reconfigure event must always be a
resize. The params of the frame changed so you either have to resize the
window to the new size of the params or make the params the same size as
the window. This commit implements it for wayland, win32, and x11.
These options make it possible to specify the directory that will be
passed to ass_set_fonts_dir(), akin to VLC's `--ssa-fontsdir` and
FFmpeg's `fontsdir`.
Fixes#8338
This option is a bit obscure, but some people do use it and it can be
useful. The actual code that implements this is very simple, so there's
really no need to have a scary note in the docs about it possibly
changing or being removed.
With significant improvements to the color tagging support in various
screenshot formats, e.g. cICP in FFmpeg, and JPEG XL's generally robust
color support, it's safe to default this to yes.
Previously, this defaulted to yes and configure-bounds from the
compositor would always apply. In the case where the user explicitly set
autofit or geometry, this could be confusing because configure-bounds
would take precedence over it. Instead, let's add an auto choice and
make that the default. If we detect that the option is on auto and that
there is autofit/geometry being set, then ignore the event. This should
be more intuitive since someone who bothers to explicitly set mpv's
geometry would naturally expect that geometry to actually apply.
--vd-lavc-dr defaulted to "yes", which caused issues on certain
hardware. Instead of disabling it, add a new "auto" value and
make it the default.
The "auto" choice will enable DR only when we can request host-cached
buffers (as signalled by the new VO_DR_FLAG_HOST_CACHED).

The situation here is that HWND is always a 32-bit value but the
win32 API also accepts sign-extended values as valid. The trouble
starts when the numeric value is negative, as mpv ignores those.
Apparently this only happens after a while (related to uptime
or number of handles created), which meant this problem was rare.
addresses #10189
The watch-later mechanism has always unconditionally wrote start to
files to save the playback position. When this was later expanded to
watch-later-options, this logic was kept in place. But we don't actually
have to unconditionally write this and can allow users to remove the
option from the list if they want to. The start value still requires
some special handling; it should always be written if possible
regardless of the value changing. However, we can just place it within
the default set of options for watch-later-options so it can be removed
like any other.
So far there was no way to sync video to display and have audio sync to
video without changes in pitch.
With this option the audio does not get resampled (pitch change) and
instead the corrected audio speed is applied to audio filters.
Buffering ahead nonstop into the cache results in nonstop disk or network
activity to read stream data from wherever it may originate. Currently,
there's no way to configure the demuxer to back off once it's buffered
ahead enough data, since the cache limit will be perpetually not-reached as
a stream continues to play, until the entire stream is eventually buffered.
On a laptop with an i9-12900H with decoding performed by the iGPU,
watching a locally-saved 1080p video which hasn't been buffered into the
page cache consumes approximately 15 W even with caching enabled. When
configuring a hysteresis to make the demuxer back off, power consumption
drops to 9 W when watching the same video, resulting in a whopping 6 W of
power savings.
To make it possible to attain significant power savings via caching, add
a --demuxer-hysteresis-secs option to configure a hysteresis to make the
demuxer back off until there's only the configured number of seconds
remaining in the cache from the current playback position.
This feature is disabled by default.
The content-type protocol allows mpv to send compositor a hint about the
type of content being displayed on its surface so it could potentially
make some sort of optimization. Fundamentally, this is pretty simple but
since this requires a very new wayland-protocols version (1.27), we have
to mess with the build to add a new define and add a bunch of if's in
here. The protocol itself exposes 4 different types of content: none,
photo, video, and game.
To do that, let's add a new option (wayland-content-type) that lets
users control what hint to send to the compossitor. Since the previous
commit adds a VOCTRL that notifies us about the content being displayed,
we can also add an auto value to this option. As you'd expect, the
compositor hint would be set to photo if mpv's core detects an image,
video for other things, and it is set to none for the special case of
forcing a window when there is not a video track. For completion's sake,
game is also allowed as a value for this option, but in practice there
shouldn't be a reason to use that.
mpv has an internal optimization on a couple of platforms where it will
not render any frames if the window is minimized or hidden. There's at
least once possible use case for wanting to force a render anyway
(screensharing with pipeware) so let's just add a simple switch for
this that always forces mpv to render. Closes#10846.
This is a very simple but easy way of doing it. Ideally, it would be
nice if we could also add some sort of introspection about shader
parameters at runtime, ideally exposing the entire list of parameters as
a custom property dict. But that is a lot of effort for dubious gain.
It's worth noting that, as currently implemented, re-setting
`glsl-shader-opts` to a new value doesn't reset back previously mutated
values to their defaults.
vo_dmabuf_wayland has its own ra and context so it can handle all the
different hwdec correctly. Unfortunately, this API was pretty clearly
designed with vo_gpu/vo_gpu_next in mind and has a lot of concepts that
don't make sense for vo_dmabuf_wayland. We still want to bolt on a
ra_ctx, but instead let's rework the ra_ctx logic a little bit. First,
this introduces a hidden bool within the ra_ctx_fns that is used to hide
the wldmabuf context from users as an option (unlike the other usual
contexts). We also want to make sure that hidden contexts wouldn't be
autoprobed in the usual ra_ctx_create, so we be sure to skip those in
that function. Additionally, let's create a new ra_ctx_create_by_name
function which does exactly what says. It specifically selects a context
based on a passed string. This function has no probing or option logic
is simplified just for what vo_dmabuf_wayland needs. The api/context
validations functions are modified just a little bit to make sure hidden
contexts are skipped and the documentation is updated to remove this
entries. Fixes#10793.
Wayland VO that can display images from either vaapi or drm hwdec
The PR adds the following changes:
1. a context_wldmabuf context with no gl dependencies
2. no-op ra_wldmabuf and dmabuf_interop_wldmabuf objects
no-op because there is no need to map/unmap the drmprime buffer,
and there is no need to manage any textures.
Tested on both x86_64 and rk3399 AArch64
This has had no effect since libplacebo v4.192.0, and was deprecated
upstream a year ago. No deprecation period in mpv is justified by this
being a debug / work-around option.
Removed the outdated information about environmental brightness
with respect to --gamma-factor, and mention that the option is
deprecated and subject to future removal. Also deprecated the
--gamma-auto option as it relies on the same outdated way of doing
things.
In wayland-protocols 1.25, xdg-shell got a version bump which added the
configure_bounds event. The compositor can send this to clients to
indicate that they should not resize past a certain size. For mpv, we'll
choose to only listen to this on reconfig events (i.e. when the window
first appears and if the video resolution changes later in the
playlist). However, this behavior is still exposed as a user option
(default on) because it will neccesarily conflict with a user setting a
specific geometry size and/or window scale. Presumably, if someone is
setting a really large size that goes beyond the bounds of their
monitor, they actually want it like that. The wayland-protocols version
is newer-ish, but we can get around having to poke the build system by
just using a define that exists in the generated xdg-shell header.
In the confusing landscape of hardware video decoding APIs, we have had
a long standing support gap for the v4l2 based APIs implemented for the
various SoCs from Rockship, Amlogic, Allwinner, etc. While VAAPI is the
defacto default for desktop GPUs, the developers who work on these SoCs
(who are not the vendors!) have preferred to implement kernel APIs
rather than maintain a userspace driver as VAAPI would require.
While there are two v4l2 APIs (m2m and requests), and multiple forks of
ffmpeg where support for those APIs languishes without reaching
upstream, we can at least say that these APIs export frames as DRMPrime
dmabufs, and that they use the ffmpeg drm hwcontext.
With those two constants, it is possible for us to write a
hwdec-interop without worrying about the mess underneath - for the most
part.
Accordingly, this change implements a hwdec-interop for any decoder
that produces frames as DRMPrime dmabufs. The bulk of the heavy
lifting is done by the dmabuf interop code we already had from
supporting vaapi, and which I refactored for reusability in a previous
set of changes.
When we combine that with the fact that we can't probe for supported
formats, the new code in this change is pretty simple.
This change also includes the hwcontext_fns that are required for us to
be able to configure the hwcontext used by `hwdec=drm-copy`. This is
technically unrelated, but it seemed a good time to fill this gap.
From a testing perspective, I have directly tested on a RockPRO64,
while others have tested with different flavours of Rockchip and on
Amlogic, providing m2m coverage.
I have some other SoCs that I need to spin up to test with, but I don't
expect big surprises, and when we inevitably need to account for new
special cases down the line, we can do so - we won't be able to support
every possible configuration blindly.
With the recent addition of the libxpresent, it should improve frame
timings for most users. However, there were known cases of bad behavior
(Nvidia) which lead to a construction of a whitelist instead of just
enabling this all the time. Since there's no way to predict whatever
combination of hardware/drivers/etc. may work correctly, just give users
an option to switch the usage of xorg's presentation statistics on/off.
The default value, auto, works like before (basically, Mesa drivers and
no Nvidia are allowed), but now one can force it on/off if needed.
The `absolute` value was incorrectly labelled as the default instead of
the value named `default`, which was somewhat confusing. When the newer
default option was added in 679e410 it seems like wm4 forgot to remove
the label in the manual on the previous default.
This driver makes use of dmabuffer and viewporter interfaces
to enable efficient display of vaapi surfaces, avoiding
any unnecessary colour space conversion, and avoiding scaling
or colour conversion using GPU shader resources.
Add Jpeg XL as a possible output format for screenshots, which
should make it possible to take fast screenshots with much better
quality than JPEG, or take lossless high-bit-depth screenshots
with lower file sizes than PNG.
- Say built-in which is more common than builtin
- Move "By default" because only the key to open the console is
customizable, and fix the punctuation and case of the sentence
- ` opens the console, not ´
- Remove the sentences that explains which user script console.lua is
based on since it's no longer relevant now that the console has been
part of mpv for over 2 years.
Now that a separate --cover-art-whitelist option exists, files like
cover.jpg are loaded even without setting --cover-art-auto to fuzzy, so
only load files that have exactly the media filename by default, since
fuzzy loading is probably more likely to load unwanted images than to
load cover art that the user intended to display, especially if you play
audio files with a short filename like a.mp3.
This allows more fine grained control over which cover art to load. With
--cover-art-auto=exact and --cover-art-whitelist=yes, you can now load
cover art with the exact media filename and the whitelisted filenames,
but not cover art that contains the media filename
(--cover-art-auto=fuzzy).
This adds a section to the documentation to explain how resuming
playback works, and in particular it explains how it affects which
playlist entry mpv starts playing from, since this feature was only
implied in the --playlist-start documentation.
It also groups the documentation of the watch later options together to
make them easier to find.
The documentation's current discussion of hwdec usage is out of date,
and unnecessarily pessemistic when applied to modern hardware. The
reality is that modern APIs on modern hardware produce reasonable
results and there's no need to pretend otherwise. The current language
that tries to drive people away from using hwdecs at all leads to them
making bad choices when they do try to use it.
Let's also make it clearer that users should use vo=gpu with hwdecs
rather than vo=vaapi or vo=vdpau. Even the existing admonitions have
proven insufficient, so let's strengthen that language.
The stop-screensaver option is currently limited to a simple yes/no
option. While the no option does always disable mpv trying to stop the
screensaver, yes does not mean the screensaver is always stopped. The
screensaver will be enabled again depending on certain conditions (like
if the player is paused). Simply introduce a new value for this option,
always, which does exactly what the name implies: the screensaver will
always be disabled.
Previously, the sub-visibility option changed the visibility of all
subtitles including secondary ones. This meant that it was not possible
to only display secondary subtitles while hiding the primary ones. This
modifies the sub-visibility option so that it only affects primary
subtitles which allows only secondary subtitles to be displayed.
This reverts commit 04f0b0abe4.
It's not a good idea to unify the names only for visibility, while
keeping secondary-* for everything else.
This needs a bit more thought before we allow secondary sub to be
visible on its own.
Adds --sub-visibility choices 'primary-only' for only displaying the
primary subtitle track, and 'secondary-only' for only displaying
secondary subtitle track.
Removes --secondary-sub-visibility and displays a message telling the
user to use --sub-visibility=yes/primary-only instead.
These changes make it so that the default 'sub-visibility' bind 'v'
cycles through all the 'sub-visibility' choices, 'no', 'yes',
'primary-only', and 'secondary-only'.
This merges the old desaturation control options into a single
enumeration, with the goal of both simplifying how these options work
and also making this list more extensible (including, notably, new
options only supported by vo_gpu_next).
For the hybrid option, I decided to port the (slightly tweaked) values
from libplacebo's pre-refactor defaults, rather than the old values we
had in mpv, to more visually match the look of the vo_gpu_next hybrid.
Merge --gamut-clipping and --gamut-warning into a single option,
--gamut-mapping-mode, better corresponding to the new vo_gpu_next APIs
and allowing us to easily extend this option as new modes are added in
the future.
Completely untested, since Linux still can't into HDR in 2021. Somebody
please make sure it works.
Technically covers #8219, since gpu-context=drm can be combined with
vo=gpu-next.
Looking at this again I'm not sure it does anything useful at all. The
man page entry is also wrong: `bicubic` is not affected, only
`bicubic_fast`, and those filters are not configurable anyways.
So this would only ever be a debugging option, and I don't see a
pressing need for it.
No interface-change.rst update because it only just got added anyways.
As discussed in #8799, this will eventually replace vo_gpu. However, it
is not yet complete. Currently missing:
- OpenGL contexts
- hardware decoding
- blend-subtitles=video
- VOCTRL_SCREENSHOT
However, it's usable enough to cover most use cases, and as such is
enough to start getting in some crucial testing.
As the documentation of the toggle says - the implementation can (and
will actually if they follow the GLX/EGL spec) return context version
greater than the one requested.
This happens with all Mesa drivers that I've tested as well as the
Nvidia binary drivers.
This toggle seems like a workaround for buggy drivers, yet it's lacking
context about the vendor and version.
Remove it for now - I'll be happy to reinstate it (partially or in full)
as we get concrete details.
This allows us to simplify ra_gl_ctx_test_version() making the whole
context creation business easier to follow by mere mortals.

This is similar to [no-]input-default-bindings, but affects only
builtin bindings (while input-default-bindings affects anything which
config files can override, like scripting mp.add_key_binding).
Arguably, this is what input-default-binding should have always done,
however, it does not.
The reason we add a new option rather than repurpose/modify the
existing option is that it behaves differently enough to raise
concerns that it will break some use cases for existing users:
- The new option is only applied once on startup, while
input-default-bindings can be modified effectively at runtime.
- They affects different sets of bindings, and it's possible that
the set of input-default-bindings is useful enough to keep.
Implementation-wise, both options are trivial, so keeping one or the
other or both doesn't affect code complexity.
It could be argued that it would be useful to make the new option
also effective for runtime changes, however, this opens a can of
worms of how the bindings are stored beyond the initial setup.
TL;DR: it's impossible to differentiate correctly at runtime between
builtin bindings, and those added with mp.add_key_bindings.
The gist is that technically mpv needs/uses two binding "classes":
- weak/builtin bindings - lower priority than config files.
- "user" bindings - config files and "forced" runtime bindings.
input-default-bindings affects the first class trivially, but
input-builtin-bindings would not be able split this class further
at runtime without meaningful changes to a lot of delicate code.
So a new option it is. It should be useful to some libmpv clients
(players) which want to disable mpv's builtin bindings without
breaking mp.add_key_bindings for scripts.
Fixes#8809
(again. the previous fix 8edfe70b only improved the docs, while
now we're actually making the requested behavior possible)
Because youtube-dl is inactive and the yt-dlp fork is becoming more
popular, make mpv use yt-dlp without any extra configuration.
yt-dlp is ordered before youtube-dl because it's more obscure, so users
who have yt-dlp installed are more likely to want to use it rather than
youtube-dl.
Fixes#9208.
The previous wording gave the false impression that there was no media
key support for OSes besides Windows and macOS. This is untrue, the
option may only exist on those two platforms but it simply means that
media keys will always be enabled on other OSes as long as they are
supported.
There's currently some touch related code in mpv wayland, but clearly
nobody actually uses because it's a broken mess. Initially an attempt to
distinguish between two finger touches and one finger touch was made,
but there's not a good way to make this work. For whatever reason,
initiating either xdg_toplevel_resize or xdg_toplevel_move blocks any
other touch events from occurring (at least in plasma). Trying to call
these functions anywhere else is not really useful since the serial will
be invalid outside of the touch down events (well it would work in the
touch up event but that's just silly).
Anyways, let's just make this work sanely. Eliminate the touch entries
variable completely because it's pointless. Only one finger event is
ever considered at a time. Touches besides the initial one are all
ignored. If a user touches and drags within the touch edge radius, then
a resize event occurs. If the user touches and drags elsewhere on the
window, a move event occurs. A single tap displays the osc (which is
clickable if you tap again). A double tap toggles fullscreen.
Additionally, the default touch edge radius of 64 pixels is way too big
(at least I think so). Cut this in half to 32 which feels a lot better
(on a pinephone using plasma mobile anyway).
Using --sub-filter-regex-plain (default:no)
The ass-to-plaintext functionality already existed at sd_ass.c, but
it's internal and uses a private buffer type, so a trivial utility
wrapper was added with standard char*/bstr interface.
The plaintext can be multi-line, and the multi-line regexp flag is now
always set, but only affects plaintext (the ASS source is one line).
Pretty much identical to filter-regex but with JS expressions and
requires only JS support. Shares the filter-regex-* control options.
The target audience is Windows users - where filter-regex doesn't
work due to missing APIs, but mujs builds cleanly on Windows, and JS
is usually enabled in 3rd party Windows mpv builds.
Lua could have been used with similar effort, however, the JS regex
syntax is more extensive and also much more similar to POSIX.
Let audio-display determine whether embedded images or external cover
art tracks should be selected when both are present.
Attached pictures are given priority by default as requested in #8539.
Also updates references to attached pictures in the log and manpage to
refer to cover art as well.
Closes#8539.
--watch-later-options-remove doesn't accept multiple options, so split
the example.
Also suggest the more correct -clr to empty the list, and remove the
workaround to not print an error with --watch-later-options=
This allows configuring which options are saved by quit-watch-later.
Fixes#4126, #4641 and #5567.
Toggling a video or audio filter twice would treat the option as changed
because the backup value is NULL, and the current value of vf/af is a
list with one empty item, so obj_settings_list_equal had to be changed.
- The video filter to turn the video upside-down is vflip. There is no
filter called "flip" so using it just causes an error.
- Reword a sentence.
- Add exact and all to the values accepted by cover-art-auto. They were
implemented in 029ff1049b but not added to the accepted arguments.
The --secondary-sub-visibility options was previously undocumented in
the pull request that added it. This commit adds documentation for it
and clarifies its behavior.
Not sure what I was on when I wrote this. wayland-app-id is supposed to
default to "mpv". Just set that in the vo_sub_opts and don't do this
weird m_config_cache_write_opt thing. Also make the doc entry nicer.
This fixes a long-standing apparent issue where mpv would display the last
frame with no subtitles at EOF. This is caused by sub rendering switching from
video timestamps to audio timestamps when the video ends, and audio streams
often running past the timestamp of the last video frame. However, authoring
tools (most notably Aegisub) don't tend to provide easy ways to add meaningful
subtitles after the end of the video, so this is rarely actually useful.
This makes cover-art-auto behave more like sub-auto and audio-file-auto:
- load cover art with a language, e.g. if playing foo.mp3, foo.en.jpg
will be loaded with lang=en
- load cover art containing the media filename with fuzzy and all, e.g.
'foo (large).jpg'
- make all/2 load all images in the directory, and make fuzzy/1 the
default
These are all uncommon use cases, but synchronizing the behavior of the
external file options simplifies the code.
This is the Vulkan equivalent of the drm context for OpenGL, with
the big difference that it's implemented purely in terms of Vulkan
calls and doesn't actually require drm or kms.
The basic idea is to identify a display, mode, and plane on a device,
and then create a display backed surface for the swapchain. In theory,
past that point, everything is the same, and this is in fact the case
on Intel hardware. I can get a video playing on a vt.
On nvidia, naturally, things don't work that way. Instead, nvidia only
implemented the extension for scenarios where a VR application is
stealing a display from a running window system, and not for
standalone scenarios. With additional code, I've got this scenario to
work but that's a separate incremental change.
Other people have tested on AMD, and report roughly the same behaviour
as on Intel.
Note, that in this change, the VT will not be correctly restored after
qutting. The only way to restore the VT is to introduce some drm
specific code which I will illustrate in a separate change.
Not only does this have semantics that make far more sense, it also has
a default that makes far more sense. (Equivalent to the old
`icc-contrast=inf`)
This removes the weird 1000:1 contrast default assumption which
especially broke perceptual profiles and also screws things up for
OLED/CRT/etc.
Should probably close some issues but I honestly can't be bothered to
figure out which of the thousands colorimetry-related issues are
affected.
This commit describes more accurately what currently gets disabled
by this option - specifically also keys from mp.add_key_binding.
It's not necessarily the best behavior because libmpv clients might
want to disable mpv's own builtin keybindings while still allowing
scripts to define keys which `input.conf' can override.
In the future we might exclude mp.add_key_binding from this option,
but for now at least document this option accurately.
Fixes#8809
The accurate description of this option was:
- fit-border is enabled by default. When disabled, it adds a bug where
if the window has borders and mpv shrinks it to fit the desktop, then
the calculation ignores the borders and adds incorrect video crop.
The option was added at commits 70f64f3c and 949247d6, in order to
solve an issue (#2935) where if mpv wanted to display a video with
size WxH, then w32_common.c incorrectly set the window to WxH, while
down-scaling the video slightly to fit (even with small sizes).
It was addressed with a new option which is enabled by default, but
does the right thing (sets the client area to WxH) only when disabled,
so that everyone who prefers their video slightly downscaled could
keep their default behavior.
(#2935 also addressed an off-by-one issue, fixed before fit-border)
While disabling the option did avoid unnecessary downscaling, it also
added a bug when disabled: the borders are no longer taken into
account when the size is too big for the desktop. Most users don't
notice and are unaffected as it's enabled by default.
Shortly later (981048e0) the core issue is fixed, and now the client
area is correctly set to WxH instead of the window (and together with
the three following commits which center the video, adds a new bug
where the window title can be outside the display - addressed next).
However, fit-border remained, now without any effect, except that it
still has the same bug when disabled and the window is too big.
Later code changes and refactoring preserved this issue with great
attention to details, and it remained in identical form until now.
Simply rip out fit-border.
When mpv attempts to play a video that is, on average, 60 FPS on a
display that is not exactly 60.00 Hz, two options try to fight each
other: `video-sync-max-video-change` and `interpolation-threshold`.
Normally, container FPS in something such as an .mp4 or a .mkv is
precise enough such that the video can be retimed exactly to the display
Hz and interpolation is not activated.
In the case of something like certain live streaming videos or other scenario
where container FPS is not known, the default option of 0.0001 for
`interpolation-threshold` is extremely low, and while
`video-sync-max-video-change` retimes the video to what it approximately
knows as the "real" FPS, this may or may not be outside of
`interpolation-threshold`'s logic at any given time, which causes
interpolation to be frequently flipped on and off giving an appearance
of stuttering or repeated frames that is oftern quite jarring and makes
a video unwatchable.
This commit changes the default of `interpolation-threshold` to 0.01,
which is the same value as `video-sync-max-video-change`, and guarantees
that if the user accepts a video being retimed to match the display,
they do not additionally have to worry about a much more
precise interpolation threshold randomly flipping on or off. No internal
logic is changed so setting `interpolation-threshold` to -1 will still
disable this logic entirely and always enable interpolation.
The documentation has been updated to reflect this change and give
context to the user for which scenarios they might want to disable
`interpolation-threshold` logic or change it to a smaller value.
