Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This file lists all changes that can cause compatibility issues when using
|
|
mpv through the client API (libmpv and ``client.h``). Since the client API
|
|
interfaces to input handling (commands, properties) as well as command line
|
|
options, you should also look at ``interface-changes.rst``.
|
|
|
|
Normally, changes to the C API that are incompatible to previous iterations
|
|
receive a major version bump (i.e. the first version number is increased),
|
|
while C API additions bump the minor version (i.e. the second number is
|
|
increased). Changes to properties/commands/options may also lead to a minor
|
|
version bump, in particular if they are incompatible.
|
|
|
|
The version number is the same as used for MPV_CLIENT_API_VERSION (see
|
|
``client.h`` how to convert between major/minor version numbers and the flat
|
|
32 bit integer).
|
|
|
|
Also, read the section ``Compatibility`` in ``client.h``.
|
|
|
|
Options, commands, properties
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Changes to these are not listed here, but in ``interface-changes.rst``. (Before
|
|
client API version 1.17, they were listed here partially.)
|
|
|
|
This listing includes changes to the bare C API and behavior only, not what
|
|
you can access with them.
|
|
|
|
API changes
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
--- mpv 0.21.0 ---
|
|
1.23 - deprecate setting "no-" options via mpv_set_option*(). For example,
|
|
instead of "no-video=" you should set "video=no".
|
|
- do not override the SIGPIPE signal handler anymore. This was done as
|
|
workaround for the FFmpeg TLS code, which has been fixed long ago.
|
|
- deprecate mpv_suspend() and mpv_resume(). They will be stubbed out
|
|
in mpv 0.22.0.
|
|
- make mpv_set_property() work to some degree before mpv_initialize().
|
|
It can now be used instead of mpv_set_option().
|
|
- semi-deprecate mpv_set_option()/mpv_set_option_string(). You should
|
|
use mpv_set_property() instead. There are some deprecated properties
|
|
which conflict with some options (see client.h remarks on
|
|
mpv_set_option()), for which mpv_set_option() might still be required.
|
|
In future mpv releases, the conflicting deprecated options/properties
|
|
will be removed, and mpv_set_option() will internally translate API
|
|
calls to mpv_set_property().
|
|
--- mpv 0.19.0 ---
|
|
1.22 - add stream_cb API for custom protocols
|
|
--- mpv 0.18.1 ---
|
|
---- - remove "status" log level from mpv_request_log_messages() docs. This
|
|
is 100% equivalent to "v". The behavior is still the same, thus no
|
|
actual API change.
|
|
--- mpv 0.18.0 ---
|
|
1.21 - mpv_set_property() changes behavior with MPV_FORMAT_NODE. Before this
|
|
change it rejected mpv_nodes with format==MPV_FORMAT_STRING if the
|
|
property was not a string or did not have special mechanisms in place
|
|
the function failed. Now it always invokes the option string parser,
|
|
and mpv_node with a basic data type works exactly as if the function
|
|
is invoked with that type directly. This new behavior is equivalent
|
|
to mpv_set_option().
|
|
This also affects the mp.set_property_native() Lua function.
|
|
- generally, setting choice options/properties with "yes"/"no" options
|
|
can now be set as MPV_FORMAT_FLAG
|
|
- reading a choice property as MPV_FORMAT_NODE will now return a
|
|
MPV_FORMAT_FLAG value if the choice is "yes" (true) or "no" (false)
|
|
This implicitly affects Lua and JSON IPC interfaces as well.
|
|
- big changes to vo-cmdline on vo_opengl and vo_opengl_hq (but not
|
|
vo_opengl_cb): options are now normally not reset, but applied on top
|
|
of the current options. The special undocumented value "-" still
|
|
works, but now resets all options to before any vo-cmdline command
|
|
has been called.
|
|
--- mpv 0.12.0 ---
|
|
1.20 - deprecate "GL_MP_D3D_interfaces"/"glMPGetD3DInterface", and introduce
|
|
"GL_MP_MPGetNativeDisplay"/"glMPGetNativeDisplay" (this is a
|
|
backwards-compatible rename)
|
|
--- mpv 0.11.0 ---
|
|
--- mpv 0.10.0 ---
|
|
1.19 - add "GL_MP_D3D_interfaces" pseudo extension to make it possible to
|
|
use DXVA2 in OpenGL fullscreen mode in some situations
|
|
- mpv_request_log_messages() now accepts "terminal-default" as parameter
|
|
1.18 - add MPV_END_FILE_REASON_REDIRECT, and change behavior of
|
|
MPV_EVENT_END_FILE accordingly
|
|
- a bunch of interface-changes.rst changes
|
|
1.17 - mpv_initialize() now blocks SIGPIPE (details see client.h)
|
|
--- mpv 0.9.0 ---
|
|
1.16 - add mpv_opengl_cb_report_flip()
|
|
- introduce mpv_opengl_cb_draw() and deprecate mpv_opengl_cb_render()
|
|
- add MPV_FORMAT_BYTE_ARRAY
|
|
1.15 - mpv_initialize() will now load config files. This requires setting
|
|
the "config" and "config-dir" options. In particular, it will load
|
|
mpv.conf.
|
|
- minor backwards-compatible change to the "seek" and "screenshot"
|
|
commands (new flag syntax, old additional args deprecated)
|
|
--- mpv 0.8.0 ---
|
|
1.14 - add mpv_wait_async_requests()
|
|
- the --msg-level option changes its native type from a flat string to
|
|
a key-value list (setting/reading the option as string still works)
|
|
1.13 - add MPV_EVENT_QUEUE_OVERFLOW
|
|
1.12 - add class Handle to qthelper.hpp
|
|
- improve opengl_cb.h API uninitialization behavior, and fix the qml
|
|
example
|
|
- add mpv_create_client() function
|
|
1.11 - add OpenGL rendering interop API - allows an application to combine
|
|
its own and mpv's OpenGL rendering
|
|
Warning: this API is not stable yet - anything in opengl_cb.h might
|
|
be changed in completely incompatible ways in minor API bumps
|
|
--- mpv 0.7.0 ---
|
|
1.10 - deprecate/disable everything directly related to script_dispatch
|
|
(most likely affects nobody)
|
|
1.9 - add enum mpv_end_file_reason for mpv_event_end_file.reason
|
|
- add MPV_END_FILE_REASON_ERROR and the mpv_event_end_file.error field
|
|
for slightly better error reporting on playback failure
|
|
- add --stop-playback-on-init-failure option, and make it the default
|
|
behavior for libmpv only
|
|
- add qthelper.hpp set_option_variant()
|
|
- mark the following events as deprecated:
|
|
MPV_EVENT_TRACKS_CHANGED
|
|
MPV_EVENT_TRACK_SWITCHED
|
|
MPV_EVENT_PAUSE
|
|
MPV_EVENT_UNPAUSE
|
|
MPV_EVENT_METADATA_UPDATE
|
|
MPV_EVENT_CHAPTER_CHANGE
|
|
They are handled better with mpv_observe_property() as mentioned in
|
|
the documentation comments. They are not removed and still work.
|
|
1.8 - add qthelper.hpp
|
|
1.7 - add mpv_command_node(), mpv_command_node_async()
|
|
1.6 - modify "core-idle" property behavior
|
|
- MPV_EVENT_LOG_MESSAGE now always sends complete lines
|
|
- introduce numeric log levels (mpv_log_level)
|
|
--- mpv 0.6.0 ---
|
|
1.5 - change in X11 and "--wid" behavior again. The previous change didn't
|
|
work as expected, and now the behavior can be explicitly controlled
|
|
with the "input-x11-keyboard" option. This is only a temporary
|
|
measure until XEmbed is implemented and confirmed working.
|
|
Note: in 1.6, "input-x11-keyboard" was renamed to "input-vo-keyboard",
|
|
although the old option name still works.
|
|
1.4 - subtle change in X11 and "--wid" behavior
|
|
(this change was added to 0.5.2, and broke some things, see #1090)
|
|
--- mpv 0.5.0 ---
|
|
1.3 - add MPV_MAKE_VERSION()
|
|
1.2 - remove "stream-time-pos" property (no replacement)
|
|
1.1 - remap dvdnav:// to dvd://
|
|
- add "--cache-file", "--cache-file-size"
|
|
- add "--colormatrix-primaries" (and property)
|
|
- add "primaries" sub-field to image format properties
|
|
- add "playback-time" property
|
|
- extend the "--start" option; a leading "+", which was previously
|
|
insignificant is now significant
|
|
- add "cache-free" and "cache-used" properties
|
|
- OSX: the "coreaudio" AO spdif code is split into a separate AO
|
|
--- mpv 0.4.0 ---
|
|
1.0 - the API is declared stable
|
|
|
