This adds cache as a possible path for mpv to internally pick
(~/.cache/mpv for non-darwin unix-like systems, the usual config
directory for everyone else). For gpu shader cache and icc cache,
controlling whether or not to write such files is done with the new
--gpu-shader-cache and --icc-cache options respectively. Additionally,
--cache-on-disk no longer requires explicitly setting the --cache-dir
option. The old options, --cache-dir, --gpu-shader-cache-dir, and
--icc-cache-dir simply set an override for the directory to save cache
files. If unset, then the cache is saved in XDG_CACHE_HOME.
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.

The playlist title only got set when it was specified in the playlist
file.
If there is a title after opening a file, that should also be reflected
in the playlist.
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.
This returns the value of the target OS that mpv was built on as
reported by the build system. It is quite conceivable that script
writers and API users would need to make OS-dependent choices in some
cases. Such people end up writing boilerplate/hacks to guess what OS
they are on. Assuming you trust the build system (if you don't, we're in
really deep trouble), then mpv actually knows exactly what OS it was
built on. Simply take this information at configuration time, make it a
define, and let mp_property_platform return the value.
Note that mpv has two build systems (waf and meson), so the names of the
detected OSes may not be exactly the same. Since meson is the newer
build system, the value of this property follows meson's naming
conventions*. In the waf build, there is a small function to map known
naming deviations to match meson (i.e. changing "win32" to "windows").
waf's documentation is a nightmare to follow, but it seems to simply
take the output of sys.platform in python and strip away any trailing
numbers if they exist (exception being win32 and os2)*.

3a9e661e92 officially made this video
filter deprecated roughly 6 years ago. Every other video filter in that
commit has actually been removed since then except for vf_sub. ffmpeg
does have its own subtitles filter, but it doesn't have the same control
over scale like vf_sub does. That's probably why wm4 never actually
removed it. Let's stop scaring users with a warning since this filter
probably won't ever get removed. Closes#9254.
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.
This protocol is pretty important since it finally lets us solve the
longstanding issue of fractional scaling in wayland (no more mpv doing
rendering over the target resolution and then being scaled down). This
protocol also can completely replace the buffer_scale usage that we are
currently using for integer scaling so hopefully this can be removed
sometime in the future. Note that vo_dmabuf_wayland is omitted from the
fractional scale handling because we want the compositor to handle all
the scaling for that VO.
Fixes#9443.
--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 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.

This makes no attempt at querying terminal features or handling
terminal errors, as it would require mpv to pass the response codes
from the terminal to the vo instead of interpreting them as
keystrokes made by the user and acting very unpredictably.
Tested with kitty and konsole.
Fixes#9605
The legacy DRM API adds some complexity to the DRM code. There
are only 4 drivers that do not support the DRM Atomic API:
1. radeon (early GCN amd cards)
2. gma500 (ancient intel GPUs)
3. ast (ASPEED SoCs)
4. nouveau
Going forward, new DRM drivers will be guaranteed to support the atomic
API so this is a safe removal.
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.
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.
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.
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'.
Useful to strip dolbyvision from the output, in cases where the user
does not want it applied. Doing this as a video filter gives users the
abiilty to easily toggle this stripping at runtime in a way that
properly propagates to any (potentially stateful) VO.
It also thematically fits the rest of the options in vf_format, which
are similarly concerned with modifying the video image parameters.
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.
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.
mpv doesn't have other dot files in its config dir, and it also
shouldn't be "invisible".
The new name ~~/init.js now replaces ~~/.init.js
While mpv usually deprecates things before outright removing them,
in this case the old (dot) name is replaced without deprecation:
- It's a bad idea to execute hidden scripts, even if at a config dir,
and we don't want to do that for the next release cycle too.
- We warn if the old (dot) name exists and the new name doesn't,
which should be reasonably visible for affected users.
- It's likely niche enough to not cause too much pain.
If for some reason both names are needed, e.g. when using also an old
mpv versions, then the old name could be symlinked to the new one, or
simply have one line: `require("~~/init")` to load the new name, while
a new mpv version will load (only) the new name without warning.
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 exposes whether a video track is detected as an image, which is
useful for profile conditions, property expansion and lavfi-complex.
The lavf demuxer sets image to true when the existing check detects an
image.
When the lavf demuxer fails, the mf one guesses if the file is an image
by its extension, so sh->image is set to true when the mf demuxer
succeds and there's only one file.
The mkv demuxer just sets image to true for any attached picture.
The timeline demuxer just copies the value of image from source to
destination. This sets image to true for attached pictures, standalone
images and images added with !new_stream in EDL playlists, but it is
imperfect since you could concatenate multiple images in an EDL playlist
(which should be done with the mf demuxer anyway). This is good enough
anyway since the comment of the modified function already says it is
"Imperfect and arbitrary".
