manpage: merge new manpage
About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the
hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged
back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the
new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very
slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was
scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work.
Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the
old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful
for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch,
while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage,
was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the
documentation in the same commit as the code.
Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to
be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development
branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2
master branch after revision 159102e0cb.

because this is a conversion, not a complete rewrite.

|
|
|
mpv has a fully configurable, command-driven control layer which allows you
|
|
|
|
to control mpv using keyboard, mouse, joystick or remote control (with
|
options: drop --opt:subopt option names
For all suboptions, "flat" options were available by separating the
parent option and the sub option with ":", e.g. "--rawvideo:w=123". Drop
this syntax and use "-" as separator. This means even suboptions are
available as normal options now, e.g. "--rawvideo-w=123". The old syntax
doesn't work anymore.
Note that this is completely separate from actual suboptions. For
example, "-rawvideo w=123:h=123" still works. (Not that this syntax is
worth supporting, but it's needed anyway, for for other things like vf
and vo suboptions.)
As a consequence of this change, we also have to add new "no-" prefixed
options for flag suboptions, so that "--no-input-default-bindings"
works. ("--input-no-default-bindings" also works as a consequence of
allowing "-input no-default-bindings" - they are handled by the same
underlying option.)
For --input, always use the full syntax in the manpage. There exist
suboptions other than --input (like --tv, --rawvideo, etc.), but since
they might be handled differently in the future, don't touch these yet.
M_OPT_PREFIXED becomes the default, so remove it. As a minor unrelated
cleanup, get rid of M_OPT_MERGE too and use the OPT_SUBSTRUCT() macro in
some places.
Unrelated: remove the duplicated --tv:buffersize option, fix a typo in
changes.rst.

core: add playback resume feature (manual/opt-in)
A "watch later" command is now mapped to Shift+Q. This quits the player
and stores the playback state in a config file in ~/.mpv/watch_later/.
When calling the player with the same file again, playback is resumed
at that time position.
It's also possible to make mpv save playback state always on quit with
the --save-position-on-quit option. Likewise, resuming can be disabled
with the --no-resume-playback option.
This also attempts to save some playback parameters, like fullscreen
state or track selection. This will unconditionally override config
settings and command line options (which is probably not what you would
expect, but in general nobody will really care about this). Some things
are not backed up, because that would cause various problems. Additional
subtitle files, video filters, etc. are not stored because that would be
too hard and fragile. Volume/mute state are not stored because it would
mess up if the system mixer is used, or if the system mixer was
readjusted in the meantime.
Basically, the tradeoff between perfect state restoration and
complexity/fragility makes it not worth to attempt to implement
it perfectly, even if the result is a little bit inconsistent.

hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged
back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the
new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very
slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was
scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work.
Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the
old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful
for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch,
while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage,
was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the
documentation in the same commit as the code.
Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to
be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development
branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2
master branch after revision 159102e0cb.

because this is a conversion, not a complete rewrite.

USAGE
|
|
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every *flag* option has a *no-flag* counterpart, e.g. the opposite of the
|
|
|
|
``--fs`` option is ``--no-fs``. ``--fs=yes`` is same as ``--fs``, ``--fs=no``
|
|
|
|
is the same as ``--no-fs``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If an option is marked as *(XXX only)*, it will only work in combination with
|
|
|
|
the *XXX* option or if *XXX* is compiled in.

.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The suboption parser (used for example for ``--ao=pcm`` suboptions)
|
|
|
|
supports a special kind of string-escaping intended for use with external
|
|
|
|
GUIs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It has the following format::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
%n%string_of_length_n

Paths
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some care must be taken when passing arbitrary paths and filenames to mpv. For
|
|
|
|
example, paths starting with ``-`` will be interpreted as options. Likewise,
|
|
|
|
if a path contains the sequence ``://``, the string before that might be
|
|
|
|
interpreted as protocol prefix, even though ``://`` can be part of a legal
|
|
|
|
UNIX path. To avoid problems with arbitrary paths, you should be sure that
|
|
|
|
absolute paths passed to mpv start with ``/``, and relative paths with ``./``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name ``-`` itself is interpreted as stdin, and will cause mpv to disable
|
|
|
|
console controls. (Which makes it suitable for playing data piped to stdin.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For paths passed to suboptions, the situation is further complicated by the
|
|
|
|
need to escape special characters. To work this around, the path can be
|
|
|
|
additionally wrapped in the ``%n%string_of_length_n`` syntax (see above).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some mpv options interpret paths starting with ``~``. Currently, the prefix
|
|
|
|
``~~/`` expands to the mpv configuration directory (usually ``~/.mpv/``).
|
|
|
|
``~/`` expands to the user's home directory. (The trailing ``/`` is always
|
|
|
|
required.)

Per-File Options
|
2012-08-07 20:24:50 +00:00
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When playing multiple files, any option given on the command line usually
|
2013-07-08 16:02:14 +00:00
|
|
|
affects all files. Example::
|
2012-08-07 20:24:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-07-08 16:02:14 +00:00
|
|
|
mpv --a file1.mkv --b file2.mkv --c
|
2012-08-07 20:24:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-07-08 16:02:14 +00:00
|
|
|
=============== ===========================
|
|
|
|
File Active options
|
|
|
|
=============== ===========================
|
|
|
|
file1.mkv ``--a --b --c``
|
|
|
|
file2.mkv ``--a --b --c``
|
|
|
|
=============== ===========================
|
2012-08-07 20:24:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-09-10 13:09:24 +00:00
|
|
|
(This is different from MPlayer and mplayer2.)
|
|
|
|
|
2013-07-08 16:02:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Also, if any option is changed at runtime (via input commands), they are not
|
2012-08-07 20:24:50 +00:00
|
|
|
reset when a new file is played.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-07-08 16:02:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Sometimes, it is useful to change options per-file. This can be achieved by
|
|
|
|
adding the special per-file markers ``--{`` and ``--}``. (Note that you must
|
|
|
|
escape these on some shells.) Example::
|
2012-08-07 20:24:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-07-08 16:02:14 +00:00
|
|
|
mpv --a file1.mkv --b --\{ --c file2.mkv --d file3.mkv --e --\} file4.mkv --f
|
2012-08-07 20:24:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-07-08 16:02:14 +00:00
|
|
|
=============== ===========================
|
|
|
|
File Active options
|
|
|
|
=============== ===========================
|
|
|
|
file1.mkv ``--a --b --f``
|
|
|
|
file2.mkv ``--a --b --f --c --d --e``
|
|
|
|
file3.mkv ``--a --b --f --c --d --e``
|
|
|
|
file4.mkv ``--a --b --f``
|
|
|
|
=============== ===========================
|
2012-08-07 20:24:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, any file-local option changed at runtime is reset when the current
|
2013-07-08 16:02:14 +00:00
|
|
|
file stops playing. If option ``--c`` is changed during playback of
|
|
|
|
``file2.mkv``, it is reset when advancing to ``file3.mkv``. This only affects
|
|
|
|
file-local options. The option ``--a`` is never reset here.

manpage: merge new manpage
About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the
hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged
back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the
new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very
slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was
scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work.
Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the
old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful
for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch,
while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage,
was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the
documentation in the same commit as the code.
Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to
be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development
branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2
master branch after revision 159102e0cb.
Committers:
* Clément Bœsch <ubitux@gmail.com> (Initial conversion to RST.)
* Uoti Urpala <uau@mplayer2.org> (Many updates.)
* Myself (Minor edits.)
Most text of the manpage has been directly taken from the old manpage,
because this is a conversion, not a complete rewrite.

To ease working with different configurations, profiles can be defined in the
|
|
|
|
configuration files. A profile starts with its name in square brackets,
|
|
|
|
e.g. ``[my-profile]``. All following options will be part of the profile. A
|
|
|
|
description (shown by ``--profile=help``) can be defined with the
|
|
|
|
``profile-desc`` option. To end the profile, start another one or use the
|
|
|
|
profile name ``default`` to continue with normal options.

manpage: merge new manpage
About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the
hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged
back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the
new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very
slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was
scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work.
Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the
old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful
for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch,
while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage,
was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the
documentation in the same commit as the code.
Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to
be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development
branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2
master branch after revision 159102e0cb.

TAKING SCREENSHOTS
|
2012-08-02 18:44:28 +00:00
|
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Screenshots of the currently played file can be taken using the 'screenshot'
|
2012-10-23 23:06:00 +00:00
|
|
|
input mode command, which is by default bound to the ``s`` key. Files named
|
|
|
|
``shotNNNN.jpg`` will be saved in the working directory, using the first
|
2012-08-02 18:44:28 +00:00
|
|
|
available number - no files will be overwritten.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A screenshot will usually contain the unscaled video contents at the end of the
|
2013-07-08 16:02:14 +00:00
|
|
|
video filter chain and subtitles. By default, ``S`` takes screenshots without
|
2013-01-30 00:17:33 +00:00
|
|
|
subtitles, while ``s`` includes subtitles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``screenshot`` video filter is not required when using a recommended GUI
|
|
|
|
video output driver. It should normally not be added to the config file, as
|
|
|
|
taking screenshots is handled by the VOs, and adding the screenshot filter will
|
|
|
|
break hardware decoding. (The filter may still be useful for taking screenshots
|
|
|
|
at a certain point within the video chain when using multiple video filters.)

PROTOCOLS
|
|
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``http://...``, ``https://``, ...
|
|
|
|
Many network protocols are supported, but the protocol prefix must always
|
|
|
|
be specified. mpv will never attempt to guess whether a filename is
|
|
|
|
actually a network address. A protocol prefix is always required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``-``
|
|
|
|
Play data from stdin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``smb://PATH``
|
|
|
|
Play a path from Samba share.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``bd://[title][/device]`` ``--bluray-device=PATH``
|
|
|
|
Play a Blu-Ray disc. Currently, this does not accept iso files. Instead,
|
|
|
|
you must mount the iso file as filesystem, and point ``--bluray-device``
|
|
|
|
to the mounted directly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``bdnav://[title][/device]``
|
|
|
|
Play a Blu-Ray disc, with navigation features enabled. This feature is
|
|
|
|
permanently experimental.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``dvd://[title|[starttitle]-endtitle][/device]`` ``--dvd-device=PATH``
|
|
|
|
Play a DVD. If you want dvdnav menus, use ``dvd://menu``. If no title
|
|
|
|
is given, the longest title is auto-selected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``dvdnav://`` is an old alias for ``dvd://`` and does exactly the same
|
|
|
|
thing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``dvdread://...:``
|
|
|
|
Play a DVD using the old libdvdread code. This is what MPlayer and older
|
|
|
|
mpv versions use for ``dvd://``. Use is discouraged. It's provided only
|
|
|
|
for compatibility and for transition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``tv://[channel][/input_id]`` ``--tv-...``
|
|
|
|
Analogue TV via V4L. Also useful for webcams. (Linux only.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``pvr://`` ``--pvr-...``
|
|
|
|
PVR. (Linux only.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``dvb://[cardnumber@]channel`` ``--dvbin-...``
|
|
|
|
Digital TV via DVB. (Linux only.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``mf://[filemask|@listfile]`` ``--mf-...``
|
|
|
|
Play a series of images as video.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``cdda://track[-endtrack][:speed][/device]`` ``--cdrom-device=PATH`` ``--cdda-...``
|
|
|
|
Play CD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``lavf://...``
|
|
|
|
Access any FFmpeg/Libav libavformat protocol. Basically, this passed the
|
|
|
|
string after the ``//`` directly to libavformat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``av://type:options``
|
|
|
|
This is intended for using libavdevice inputs. ``type`` is the libavdevice
|
|
|
|
demuxer name, and ``options`` is the (pseudo-)filename passed to the
|
|
|
|
demuxer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, ``mpv av://lavfi:mandelbrot`` makes use of the libavfilter
|
|
|
|
wrapper included in libavdevice, and will use the ``mandelbrot`` source
|
|
|
|
filter to generate input data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``avdevice://`` is an alias.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``file://PATH``
|
|
|
|
A local path as URL. Might be useful in some special use-cases. Note that
|
|
|
|
``PATH`` itself should start with a third ``/`` to make the path an
|
|
|
|
absolute path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``edl://[edl specification as in edl-mpv.rst]``
|
|
|
|
Stitch together parts of multiple files and play them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``null://``
|
|
|
|
Simulate an empty file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``memory://data``
|
|
|
|
Use the ``data`` part as source data.

Add initial Lua scripting support
This is preliminary. There are still tons of issues, and any aspect
of scripting may change in the future. I decided to merge this
(preliminary) work now because it makes it easier to develop it, not
because it's done. lua.rst is clear enough about it (plus some
sarcasm).
This requires linking to Lua. Lua has no official pkg-config file, but
there are distribution specific .pc files, all with different names.
Adding a non-pkg-config based configure test was considered, but we'd
rather not.
One major complication is that libquvi links against Lua too, and if
the Lua version is different from mpv's, you will get a crash as soon
as libquvi uses Lua. (libquvi by design always runs when a file is
opened.) I would consider this the problem of distros and whoever
builds mpv, but to make things easier for users, we add a terrible
runtime test to the configure script, which probes whether libquvi
will crash. This is disabled when cross-compiling, but in that case
we hope the user knows what he is doing.

manpage: merge new manpage
About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the
hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged
back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the
new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very
slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was
scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work.
Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the
old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful
for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch,
while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage,
was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the
documentation in the same commit as the code.
Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to
be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development

EXIT CODES
|
|
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Normally **mpv** returns 0 as exit code after finishing playback successfully.
|
|
|
|
If errors happen, the following exit codes can be returned:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:1: Error initializing mpv. This is also returned if unknown options are
|
|
|
|
passed to mpv.
|
|
|
|
:2: The file passed to mpv couldn't be played. This is somewhat fuzzy:
|
|
|
|
currently, playback of a file is considered to be successful if
|
|
|
|
initialization was mostly successful, even if playback fails
|
|
|
|
immediately after initialization.
|
|
|
|
:3: There were some files that could be played, and some files which
|
|
|
|
couldn't (using the definition of success from above).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that quitting the player manually will always lead to exit code 0,
|
|
|
|
overriding the exit code that would be returned normally. Also, the ``quit``
|
|
|
|
input command can take an exit code: in this case, that exit code is returned.

options: drop --opt:subopt option names
For all suboptions, "flat" options were available by separating the
parent option and the sub option with ":", e.g. "--rawvideo:w=123". Drop
this syntax and use "-" as separator. This means even suboptions are
available as normal options now, e.g. "--rawvideo-w=123". The old syntax
doesn't work anymore.
Note that this is completely separate from actual suboptions. For
example, "-rawvideo w=123:h=123" still works. (Not that this syntax is
worth supporting, but it's needed anyway, for for other things like vf
and vo suboptions.)
As a consequence of this change, we also have to add new "no-" prefixed
options for flag suboptions, so that "--no-input-default-bindings"
works. ("--input-no-default-bindings" also works as a consequence of
allowing "-input no-default-bindings" - they are handled by the same
underlying option.)
For --input, always use the full syntax in the manpage. There exist
suboptions other than --input (like --tv, --rawvideo, etc.), but since
they might be handled differently in the future, don't touch these yet.
M_OPT_PREFIXED becomes the default, so remove it. As a minor unrelated
cleanup, get rid of M_OPT_MERGE too and use the OPT_SUBSTRUCT() macro in
some places.
Unrelated: remove the duplicated --tv:buffersize option, fix a typo in
changes.rst.

hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged
back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the
new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very
slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was
scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work.
Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the
old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful
for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch,
while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage,
was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the
documentation in the same commit as the code.
Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to
be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development
branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2
master branch after revision 159102e0cb.

demux_lavf: add support for libavdevice
libavdevice supports various "special" video and audio inputs, such
as screen-capture or libavfilter filter graphs.
libavdevice inputs are implemented as demuxers. They don't use the
custom stream callbacks (in AVFormatContext.pb). Instead, input
parameters are passed as filename. This means the mpv stream layer has
to be disabled. Do this by adding the pseudo stream handler avdevice://,
whose only purpose is passing the filename to demux_lavf, without
actually doing anything.
Change the logic how the filename is passed to libavformat. Remove
handling of the filename from demux_open_lavf() and move it to
lavf_check_file(). (This also fixes a possible bug when skipping the
"lavf://" prefix.)
libavdevice now can be invoked by specifying demuxer and args as in:
mpv avdevice://demuxer:args
The args are passed as filename to libavformat. When using libavdevice
demuxers, their actual meaning is highly implementation specific. They
don't refer to actual filenames.
Note:
libavdevice is disabled by default. There is one problem: libavdevice
pulls in libavfilter, which in turn causes symbol clashes with mpv
internals. The problem is that libavfilter includes a mplayer filter
bridge, which is used to interface with a set of nearly unmodified
mplayer filters copied into libavfilter. This filter bridge uses the
same symbol names as mplayer/mpv's filter chain, which results in symbol
clashes at link-time.
This can be prevented by building ffmpeg with --disable-filter=mp, but
unfortunately this is not the default.
This means linking to libavdevice (which in turn forces linking with
libavfilter by default) must be disabled. We try doing this by compiling
a test file that defines one of the clashing symbols (vf_mpi_clear).
To enable libavdevice input, ffmpeg should be built with the options:
--disable-filter=mp
and mpv with:
--enable-libavdevice
Originally, I tried to auto-detect it. But the resulting complications
in configure did't seem worth the trouble.
