mpv provides access to its internals via the following means:
DOCS: add a changelog for option/command/property changes All these make up both user interface and API. It's a good idea to actually keep track of changes to it.
2015-05-22 17:00:13 +00:00
- options
- commands
- properties
- events
All of these are important for interfacing both with end users and API users
(which include Lua scripts, libmpv, and the JSON IPC). As such, they constitute
a large part of the user interface and APIs.
This document lists changes to them. New changes are added to the top.
Interface changes
=================
::
options: drop some previously deprecated options A release has been made, so drop options deprecated for that release. Also drop some options which have been deprecated a much longer time before. Also fix a typo in client-api-changes.rst.
2017-12-25 10:43:04 +00:00
--- mpv 0.29.0 ---
ao_opensles: remove useless cfg_sample_rate We should always use the ao-neutral --audio-samplerate option.
2018-03-12 19:30:54 +00:00
- drop --opensles-sample-rate, as --audio-samplerate should be used if desired
options: drop some previously deprecated options A release has been made, so drop options deprecated for that release. Also drop some options which have been deprecated a much longer time before. Also fix a typo in client-api-changes.rst.
2017-12-25 10:43:04 +00:00
- drop deprecated --videotoolbox-format, --ff-aid, --ff-vid, --ff-sid,
--ad-spdif-dtshd, --softvol options
player: strictly never autoselect tracks from --external-files Before this commit, some autoselection of tracks coming from files loaded with --external-files was still done. This commit removes all of it, and the only way to select a track is via the explicit stream selection options like --vid/--sid/--aid. I think this was always the original intention. The change could in theory still unintentionally surprise some users, so add a changelog entry. This does not affect --audio-file/--sub-file, even if these contain mismatching track types. E.g. if audio files passed to --audio-file contain subtitles, these should still be selected. Past feature requests indicate that users want this.
2018-01-06 16:49:37 +00:00
- fix --external-files: strictly never select any tracks from them, unless
explicitly selected (this may or may not be expected)
client API: remove ytdl=no default With the recent changes to the script it does not incur a startup delay by default due to starting youtube-dl and waiting for it. This was the main reason for making libmpv have a different default. Starting sub processes from a library can still be a bit fishy, but I think it's ok. Still mention it in the libmpv header. There were already other cases where libmpv would start its own processes, such as the X11 backend calling xdg-screensaver. (The reason why this is fishy is because UNIX process management sucks: SIGCHLD and the wait() syscall make sub processes non-transparent and could potentially introduce conflicts with code trying to use them.)
2018-01-11 22:36:07 +00:00
- --ytdl is now always enabled, even for libmpv
audio: add global options for resampler defaults This is part of trying to get rid of --af-defaults, and the af resample filter. It requires a complicated mechanism to set the defaults on the resample filter for backwards compatibility.
2018-01-12 03:02:55 +00:00
- add a number of --audio-resample-* options, which should from now on be
used instead of --af-defaults=lavrresample:...
options: deprecate --vf-defaults and --af-defaults
2018-01-12 03:07:53 +00:00
- deprecate --vf-defaults and --af-defaults. These didn't work with the
lavfi bridge, so they have very little use left. The only potential use
is with af_lavrresample (going to be deprecated, --audio-resample-... set
its defaults), and various hw deinterlacing filters (like vf_vavpp), for
which you will have to stop using --deinterlace=yes, and instead use the
vf toggle commands and the filter enable/disable flag to customize it.
af_lavrresample: deprecate this filter The future direction might be not having such a user-visible filter at all, similar to how vf_scale went away (or actually, redirects to libavfilter's vf_scale).
2018-01-12 03:16:39 +00:00
- deprecate --af=lavrresample. Use the ``--audio-resample-...`` options to
customize resampling, or the libavfilter ``--af=aresample`` filter.
command: add --osd-on-seek option defaulting to bar Restores behaviour prior to aef2ed5dc13e37dec0670c451b4369b151d5c65f. That change was apparently unpopular. However, given the amount of complaining over how hard it is to change the defaults by rebinding every key, I think the extra option introduced by this commit is justified. Technically not all behaviour is restored, because now --no-osd-bar will not instead display the msg text on seek. I think that feature was a little weird and is now easy enough to remedy with the --osd-on-seek option.
2018-01-21 23:36:08 +00:00
- add --osd-on-seek
video: rewrite filtering glue code Get rid of the old vf.c code. Replace it with a generic filtering framework, which can potentially handle more than just --vf. At least reimplementing --af with this code is planned. This changes some --vf semantics (including runtime behavior and the "vf" command). The most important ones are listed in interface-changes. vf_convert.c is renamed to f_swscale.c. It is now an internal filter that can not be inserted by the user manually. f_lavfi.c is a refactor of player/lavfi.c. The latter will be removed once --lavfi-complex is reimplemented on top of f_lavfi.c. (which is conceptually easy, but a big mess due to the data flow changes). The existing filters are all changed heavily. The data flow of the new filter framework is different. Especially EOF handling changes - EOF is now a "frame" rather than a state, and must be passed through exactly once. Another major thing is that all filters must support dynamic format changes. The filter reconfig() function goes away. (This sounds complex, but since all filters need to handle EOF draining anyway, they can use the same code, and it removes the mess with reconfig() having to predict the output format, which completely breaks with libavfilter anyway.) In addition, there is no automatic format negotiation or conversion. libavfilter's primitive and insufficient API simply doesn't allow us to do this in a reasonable way. Instead, filters can use f_autoconvert as sub-filter, and tell it which formats they support. This filter will in turn add actual conversion filters, such as f_swscale, to perform necessary format changes. vf_vapoursynth.c uses the same basic principle of operation as before, but with worryingly different details in data flow. Still appears to work. The hardware deint filters (vf_vavpp.c, vf_d3d11vpp.c, vf_vdpaupp.c) are heavily changed. Fortunately, they all used refqueue.c, which is for sharing the data flow logic (especially for managing future/past surfaces and such). It turns out it can be used to factor out most of the data flow. Some of these filters accepted software input. Instead of having ad-hoc upload code in each filter, surface upload is now delegated to f_autoconvert, which can use f_hwupload to perform this. Exporting VO capabilities is still a big mess (mp_stream_info stuff). The D3D11 code drops the redundant image formats, and all code uses the hw_subfmt (sw_format in FFmpeg) instead. Although that too seems to be a big mess for now. f_async_queue is unused.
2018-01-16 10:53:44 +00:00
- remove outfmt sub-parameter from "format" video filter (no replacement)
- some behavior changes in the video filter chain, including:
- before, using an incompatible filter with hwdec would disable hwdec;
now it disables the filter at runtime instead
- inserting an incompatible filter with hwdec at runtime would refuse
to insert the filter; now it will add it successfully, but disables
the filter slightly later
audio: rewrite filtering glue code Use the new filtering code for audio too.
2018-01-18 13:44:20 +00:00
- some behavior changes in the audio filter chain, including:
- a manually inserted lavrresample filter is not necessarily used for
sample format conversion anymore, so it's pretty useless
- changing playback speed will not respect --af-defaults anymore
- having libavfilter based filters after the scaletempo or rubberband
filters is not supported anymore, and may desync if playback speed is
changed (libavfilter does not support the metadata for playback speed)
- the lavcac3enc filter does not auto detach itself anymore; instead it
passes through the data after converting it to the sample rate and
channel configuration the ac3 encoder expects; also, if the audio
format changes midstream in a way that causes the filter to switch
between PCM and AC3 output, the audio output won't be reconfigured,
and audio playback will fail due to libswresample being unable to
convert between PCM and AC3 (Note: the responsible developer didn't
give a shit)
- inserting a filter that changes the output channel layout will not
reconfigure the AO - you need to run an additional "ao-reload"
command to force this if you want that
DOCS/interface-changes.rst: fix typo
2018-02-12 16:31:07 +00:00
- using "strong" gapless audio (--gapless-audio=yes) can fail if the
audio: rewrite filtering glue code Use the new filtering code for audio too.
2018-01-18 13:44:20 +00:00
audio formats are not convertible (such as switching between PCM and
AC3 passthrough)
DOCS/interface-changes: add note about desyncing audio filters For example af_loudnorm is a known filter with this behavior.
2018-03-01 20:09:33 +00:00
- if filters do not pass through PTS values correctly, A/V sync can
result over time
audio: rewrite filtering glue code Use the new filtering code for audio too.
2018-01-18 13:44:20 +00:00
- remove out-format sub-parameter from "format" audio filter (no replacement)
player: replace old lavfi wrapper with new filter code lavfi.c is not necessary anymore, because f_lavfi.c (which was actually converted from it) can be used now.
2018-01-26 03:36:47 +00:00
- --lavfi-complex now requires uniquely named filter pads. In addition,
unconnected filter pads are not allowed anymore (that means every filter
pad must be connected either to another filter, or to a video/audio track
or video/audio output). If they are disconnected at runtime, the stream
will probably stall.
cocoa-cb: initial implementation via opengl-cb API this is meant to replace the old and not properly working vo_gpu/opengl cocoa backend in the future. the problems are various shortcomings of Apple's opengl implementation and buggy behaviour in certain circumstances that couldn't be properly worked around. there are also certain regressions on newer macOS versions from 10.11 onwards. - awful opengl performance with a none layer backed context - huge amount of dropped frames with an early context flush - flickering of system elements like the dock or volume indicator - double buffering not properly working with a none layer backed context - bad performance in fullscreen because of system optimisations all the problems were caused by using a normal opengl context, that seems somewhat abandoned by apple, and are fixed by using a layer backed opengl context instead. problems that couldn't be fixed could be properly worked around. this has all features our old backend has sans the wid embedding, the possibility to disable the automatic GPU switching and taking screenshots of the window content. the first was deemed unnecessary by me for now, since i just use the libmpv API that others can use anyway. second is technically not possible atm because we have to pre-allocate our opengl context at a time the config isn't read yet, so we can't get the needed property. third one is a bit tricky because of deadlocking and it needed to be in sync, hopefully i can work around that in the future. this also has at least one additional feature or eye-candy. a properly working fullscreen animation with the native fs. also since this is a direct port of the old backend of the parts that could be used, though with adaptions and improvements, this looks a lot cleaner and easier to understand. some credit goes to @pigoz for the initial swift build support which i could improve upon. Fixes: #5478, #5393, #5152, #5151, #4615, #4476, #3978, #3746, #3739, #2392, #2217
2018-02-12 11:28:19 +00:00
- deprecate the OpenGL cocoa backend, option choice --gpu-context=cocoa
when used with --gpu-api=opengl (use --vo=opengl-cb)
client API: deprecate opengl-cb API and introduce a replacement API The purpose of the new API is to make it useable with other APIs than OpenGL, especially D3D11 and vulkan. In theory it's now possible to support other vo_gpu backends, as well as backends that don't use the vo_gpu code at all. This also aims to get rid of the dumb mpv_get_sub_api() function. The life cycle of the new mpv_render_context is a bit different from mpv_opengl_cb_context, and you explicitly create/destroy the new context, instead of calling init/uninit on an object returned by mpv_get_sub_api(). In other to make the render API generic, it's annoyingly EGL style, and requires you to pass in API-specific objects to generic functions. This is to avoid explicit objects like the internal ra API has, because that sounds more complicated and annoying for an API that's supposed to never change. The opengl_cb API will continue to exist for a bit longer, but internally there are already a few tradeoffs, like reduced thread-safety. Mostly untested. Seems to work fine with mpc-qt.
2018-02-20 12:30:18 +00:00
- rename --vo=opengl-cb to --vo=libmpv (goes in hand with the opengl-cb
API deprecation, see client-api-changes.rst)
video: make --deinterlace and HW deinterlace filters always deinterlace Before this, we made deinterlacing dependent on the video codec metadata (AVFrame.interlaced_frame for libavcodec). So even if --deinterlace=yes was set, we skipped deinterlacing if the flag wasn't set. This is very unreliable and there are many streams with flags incorrectly set. The potential problem is that this might upset people who alwase enabled deinterlace and hoped it worked. But it's likely these people were screwed by this setting anyway. The new behavior is less tricky and easier to understand, and this preferable. Maybe one day we could introduce a --deinterlace=auto, which does the right thing, but of course this would be hard to implement (esecially with hwdec). Fixes #5219.
2018-02-12 17:23:22 +00:00
- make --deinterlace=yes always deinterlace, instead of trying to check
certain unreliable video metadata. Also flip the defaults of all builtin
HW deinterlace filters to always deinterlace.
vf_vavpp: select best quality deinterlacing algorithm by default This switches the default away from "bob" to the best algorithm reported as supported by the driver. This is convenient for users, and there is no reason to use something worse by default. Untested.
2018-02-12 17:44:46 +00:00
- change vf_vavpp default to use the best deinterlace algorithm by default
command: remove an old compatibility hack Was removed 3 releases ago and was spamming warning messages that it'll be dropped, so it's fine to remove it now.
2018-03-23 14:33:51 +00:00
- remove a compatibility hack that allowed CLI aliases to be set as property
(such as "sub-file"), deprecated in mpv 0.26.0
client API: add a first class hook API, and deprecate old API As it turns out, there are multiple libmpv users who saw a need to use the hook API. The API is kind of shitty and was never meant to be actually public (it was mostly a hack for the ytdl script). Introduce a proper API and deprecate the old one. The old one will probably continue to work for a few releases, but will be removed eventually. There are some slight changes to the old API, but if a user followed the manual properly, it won't break. Mostly untested. Appears to work with ytdl_hook.
2018-03-23 15:24:49 +00:00
- deprecate the old command based hook API, and introduce a proper C API
(the high level Lua API for this does not change)
config: replace config dir lua-settings/ with dir script-opts/ lua-settings/ is still supported, with deprecation warning.
2017-12-13 17:37:42 +00:00
- rename the the lua-settings/ config directory to script-opts/
options: remove --heartbeat-cmd and --heartbeat--interval This mechanism uses system() and shouldn't even exist. x11_common.c has its own solution for the original problem (disabling Linux DE screensavers without MPlayer/mpv having to link a dbus lib). If that is not sufficient, you can create a simple Lua script. Incidentally fixes #4888.
2017-09-18 20:54:03 +00:00
--- mpv 0.28.0 ---
hwdec: rename mediacodec to mediacodec-copy
2017-07-06 17:40:40 +00:00
- rename --hwdec=mediacodec option to mediacodec-copy, to reflect
conventions followed by other hardware video decoding APIs
options: remove --heartbeat-cmd and --heartbeat--interval This mechanism uses system() and shouldn't even exist. x11_common.c has its own solution for the original problem (disabling Linux DE screensavers without MPlayer/mpv having to link a dbus lib). If that is not sufficient, you can create a simple Lua script. Incidentally fixes #4888.
2017-09-18 20:54:03 +00:00
- drop previously deprecated --heartbeat-cmd and --heartbeat--interval
options
vo_opengl: refactor into vo_gpu This is done in several steps: 1. refactor MPGLContext -> struct ra_ctx 2. move GL-specific stuff in vo_opengl into opengl/context.c 3. generalize context creation to support other APIs, and add --gpu-api 4. rename all of the --opengl- options that are no longer opengl-specific 5. move all of the stuff from opengl/* that isn't GL-specific into gpu/ (note: opengl/gl_utils.h became opengl/utils.h) 6. rename vo_opengl to vo_gpu 7. to handle window screenshots, the short-term approach was to just add it to ra_swchain_fns. Long term (and for vulkan) this has to be moved to ra itself (and vo_gpu altered to compensate), but this was a stop-gap measure to prevent this commit from getting too big 8. move ra->fns->flush to ra_gl_ctx instead 9. some other minor changes that I've probably already forgotten Note: This is one half of a major refactor, the other half of which is provided by rossy's following commit. This commit enables support for all linux platforms, while his version enables support for all non-linux platforms. Note 2: vo_opengl_cb.c also re-uses ra_gl_ctx so it benefits from the --opengl- options like --opengl-early-flush, --opengl-finish etc. Should be a strict superset of the old functionality. Disclaimer: Since I have no way of compiling mpv on all platforms, some of these ports were done blindly. Specifically, the blind ports included context_mali_fbdev.c and context_rpi.c. Since they're both based on egl_helpers, the port should have gone smoothly without any major changes required. But if somebody complains about a compile error on those platforms (assuming anybody actually uses them), you know where to complain.
2017-09-14 06:04:55 +00:00
- rename --vo=opengl to --vo=gpu
- rename --opengl-backend to --gpu-context
- rename --opengl-shaders to --glsl-shaders
- rename --opengl-shader-cache-dir to --gpu-shader-cache-dir
- rename --opengl-tex-pad-x/y to --gpu-tex-pad-x/y

- rename --opengl-gamma to --gamma-factor
- rename --opengl-debug to --gpu-debug
- rename --opengl-sw to --gpu-sw
- rename --opengl-vsync-fences to --swapchain-depth, and the interpretation
slightly changed. Now defaults to 3.
- rename the built-in profile `opengl-hq` to `gpu-hq`
- the semantics of --opengl-es=yes are slightly changed -> now requires GLES
- remove the (deprecated) alias --gpu-context=drm-egl
- remove the (deprecated) --vo=opengl-hq
- remove --opengl-es=force2 (use --opengl-es=yes --opengl-restrict=300)
DOCS/interface-changes.rst: mention --log-file behavior change See previous commit.
2017-10-05 09:23:33 +00:00
- the --msg-level option now affects --log-file
command: drop "audio-out-detected-device" property Coreaudio stopped setting it a few releases ago (66a958bb4fa). There is not much of a user- or API-visible change, so remove it without deprecation.
2017-10-09 13:48:47 +00:00
- drop "audio-out-detected-device" property - this was unavailable on all
audio output drivers for quite a while (coreaudio used to provide it)
video: make it possible to always override hardware decoding format Mostly an obscure option for testing. But --videotoolbox-format can be deprecated, as it becomes redundant. We rely on the libavutil hwcontext implementation to reject invalid pixfmts, or not to blow up if they are incompatible.
2017-10-16 12:37:28 +00:00
- deprecate --videotoolbox-format (use --hwdec-image-format, which affects
most other hwaccels)
demux: add a back buffer and the ability to seek into it This improves upon the previous commit, and partially rewrites it (and other code). It does: - disable the seeking within cache by default, and add an option to control it - mess with the buffer estimation reporting code, which will most likely lead to funny regressions even if the new features are not enabled - add a back buffer to the packet cache - enhance the seek code so you can seek into the back buffer - unnecessarily change a bunch of other stuff for no reason - fuck up everything and vomit ponies and rainbows This should actually be pretty usable. One thing we should add are some properties to report the proper buffer state. Then the OSC could show a nice buffer range. Also configuration of the buffers could be made simpler. Once this has been tested enough, it can be enabled by default, and might replace the stream cache's byte ringbuffer. In addition it may or may not be possible to keep other buffer ranges when seeking outside of the current range, but that would be much more complex.
2017-10-21 17:26:33 +00:00
- remove deprecated --demuxer-max-packets
DOCS/interface-changes.rst: fix typo
2017-11-30 06:19:30 +00:00
- remove most of the deprecated audio and video filters
DOCS/interface-changes.rst: update according to recent commits
2017-11-29 20:34:08 +00:00
- remove the deprecated --balance option/property
vo_gpu: make it possible to load multiple hwdec interop drivers Make the VO<->decoder interface capable of supporting multiple hwdec APIs at once. The main gain is that this simplifies autoprobing a lot. Before this change, it could happen that the VO loaded the "wrong" hwdec API, and the decoder was stuck with the choice (breaking hw decoding). With the change applied, the VO simply loads all available APIs, so autoprobing trickery is left entirely to the decoder. In the past, we were quite careful about not accidentally loading the wrong interop drivers. This was in part to make sure autoprobing works, but also because libva had this obnoxious bug of dumping garbage to stderr when using the API. libva was fixed, so this is not a problem anymore. The --opengl-hwdec-interop option is changed in various ways (again...), and renamed to --gpu-hwdec-interop. It does not have much use anymore, other than debugging. It's notable that the order in the hwdec interop array ra_hwdec_drivers[] still matters if multiple drivers support the same image formats, so the option can explicitly force one, if that should ever be necessary, or more likely, for debugging. One example are the ra_hwdec_d3d11egl and ra_hwdec_d3d11eglrgb drivers, which both support d3d11 input. vo_gpu now always loads the interop lazily by default, but when it does, it loads them all. vo_opengl_cb now always loads them when the GL context handle is initialized. I don't expect that this causes any problems. It's now possible to do things like changing between vdpau and nvdec decoding at runtime. This is also preparation for cleaning up vd_lavc.c hwdec autoprobing. It's another reason why hwdec_devices_request_all() does not take a hwdec type anymore.
2017-12-01 04:05:00 +00:00
- rename the --opengl-hwdec-interop option to --gpu-hwdec-interop, and
change some of its semantics: extend it take the strings "auto" and
"all". "all" loads all backends. "auto" behaves like "all" for
vo_opengl_cb, while on vo_gpu it loads nothing, but allows on demand
loading by the decoder. The empty string as option value behaves like
"auto". Old --hwdec values do not work anymore.
This option is hereby declared as unstable and may change any time - its
old use is deprecated, and it has very little use outside of debugging
now.
vd_lavc: rewrite how --hwdec is handled Change it from explicit metadata about every hwaccel method to trying to get it from libavcodec. As shown by add_all_hwdec_methods(), this is a quite bumpy road, and a bit worse than expected. This will probably cause a bunch of regressions. In particular I didn't check all the strange decoder wrappers, which all cause some sort of special cases each. You're volunteering for beta testing by using this commit. One interesting thing is that we completely get rid of mp_hwdec_ctx in vd_lavc.c, and that HWDEC_* mostly goes away (some filters still use it, and the VO hwdec interops still have a lot of code to set it up, so it's not going away completely for now).
2017-12-01 20:05:54 +00:00
- change the --hwdec option from a choice to a plain string (affects
introspection of the option/property), also affects some properties
DOCS/interface-changes.rst: fix minor typos
2017-12-26 02:11:35 +00:00
- rename --hwdec=rpi to --hwdec=mmal, same for the -copy variant (no
vd_lavc: rename --hwdec=rpi to --hwdec=mmal Annoying exception that makes no sense to keep. Normally, users or client applications will either use --hwdec=auto, or not set the option at all, which both leads to the expected result.

- deprecate the --ff-aid, --ff-vid, --ff-sid options and properties (there is
options: deprecate --ff- options and properties Some old crap which nobody needs and which probably nobody uses. This relies on a GCC extension: using "## __VA_ARGS__" to remove the comma from the argument list if the va args are empty. It's supported by clang, and there's some chance newer standards will introduce a proper way to do this. (Even if it breaks somewhere, it will be a problem only for 1 release, since I want to drop the deprecated properties immediately.)
2017-12-20 04:50:42 +00:00
no replacement, but you can manually query the track property and use the
"ff-index" field to find the mpv track ID to imitate this behavior)
encode: rename option --ometadata to --ocopy-metadata --copy-metadata describes the result of the option better, (copying metadata from the source file to the output file). Marks the old --no-ometadata OPT_REMOVED with a suggestion for the new --no-ocopy-metadata.
2017-12-16 12:14:26 +00:00
- rename --no-ometadata to --no-ocopy-metadata
options: kill --field-dominance GPL-only author, no chance of relicensing.
2017-07-21 18:00:09 +00:00
--- mpv 0.27.0 ---
- drop previously deprecated --field-dominance option
input: drop deprecated "osd" command Complicated situation due to changes by GPL-only author, but also unnecessary due to newer mechanisms.
2017-07-21 18:02:58 +00:00
- drop previously deprecated "osd" command
client API: drop some compatibility handling See commit e4bc563fd2dcf for more information.
2017-07-21 18:09:22 +00:00
- remove client API compatibility handling for "script", "sub-file",
"audio-file", "external-file" (these cases used to log a deprecation
warning)
options: drop --video-aspect-method=hybrid Remove this code because it could be argued that it contains GPL-only code (see commit 642e963c860 for details). The remaining aspect methods appear to work just as well, are potentially more compatible to other players, and the code becomes much simpler.
2017-07-21 18:19:39 +00:00
- drop deprecated --video-aspect-method=hybrid option choice
vo_opengl: generalize HDR tone mapping to gamut mapping Since this code was already written for HDR, and is now per-channel (because it works better for HDR as well), we can actually reuse this to get very high quality gamut mapping without clipping. The only required change is to move the tone mapping from before the gamut map to after the gamut map. Additonally, we need to also account for changes in the signal range as a result of applying the CMS when we compute ref_peak, which is fortunately pretty easy because we only need to consider the case of primaries mapping to themselves. Since `HDR` no longer really makes sense as a label, rename it to `--tone-mapping` in general. Also fits better with `--tone-mapping-desat` etc. Arguably we could also rename `--hdr-compute-peak`, but that option is basically only useful for HDR content anyway because we don't need information about the signal range for gamut mapping. This (finally!) gives us reasonably high quality gamut mapping even in the absence of an ICC profile / 3DLUT.
2017-08-03 10:46:57 +00:00
- rename --hdr-tone-mapping to --tone-mapping (and generalize it)
vo_opengl: make fbotex helper use ra Further work removing GL dependencies from the actual video renderer, and moving them into ra backends. Use of glInvalidateFramebuffer() falls away. I'd like to keep this, but it's better to readd it once shader runs are in ra.
2017-08-04 11:48:37 +00:00
- --opengl-fbo-format changes from a choice to a string. Also, its value
will be checked only on renderer initialization, rather than when the
option is set.
vo_opengl: further GL API use separation Move multiple GL-specific things from the renderer to other places like vo_opengl.c, vo_opengl_cb.c, and ra_gl.c. The vp_w/vp_h parameters to gl_video_resize() make no sense anymore, and are implicitly part of struct fbodst. Checking the main framebuffer depth is moved to vo_opengl.c. For vo_opengl_cb.c it always assumes 8. The API user now has to override this manually. The previous heuristic didn't make much sense anyway. The only remaining dependency on GL is the hwdec stuff, which is harder to change.
2017-08-07 17:14:18 +00:00
- Using opengl-cb now always assumes 8 bit per component depth, and dithers
to this size. Before, it tried to figure out the depth of the first
framebuffer that was ever passed to the renderer. Having GL framebuffers
with a size larger than 8 bit per component is quite rare. If you need
it, set the --dither-depth option instead.
player: make --lavfi-complex changeable at runtime Tends to be somewhat glitchy if subtitles are enabled, and you enable and disable tracks. On error, this will disable --lavfi-complex, which will result in whatever behavior.
2017-08-12 21:08:48 +00:00
- --lavfi-complex can now be set during runtime. If you set this in
expectation it would be applied only after a reload, you might observe
weird behavior.
player: add --track-auto-selection option I imagine this is useful. Or maybe it isn't.
2017-08-12 21:43:05 +00:00
- add --track-auto-selection to help with scripts/applications that
make exclusive use of --lavfi-complex.
options: change --loop semantics As announced by the previous deprecation.
2017-08-14 18:01:08 +00:00
- undeprecate --loop, and map it from --loop-playlist to --loop-file (the
deprecation was to make sure no API user gets broken by a sudden behavior
change)
vf_eq: remove this filter Both the video equalizer command/option glue, which drives this filter, as well as the filter itself are slightly GPL contaminated. So it goes. After this commit, "--vf=eq" will actually use libavfilter's vf_eq (if FFmpeg was compiled in GPL mode), but it has different options and will not listen to the equalizer VOCTRLs.
2017-08-22 13:58:49 +00:00
- remove previously deprecated vf_eq
video: change --deinterlace behavior This removes all GPL only code from it, and that's the whole purpose. Also happens to be much simpler. The "deinterlace" option still sort of exists, but only as runtime changeable option. The main change in behavior is that the property will not report back the actual deint state. Or in other words, if inserting or initializing the filter fails, the deinterlace property will still return "yes". This is in line with most recent behavior changes to properties and options.
2017-08-22 17:08:07 +00:00
- remove that hardware deinterlace filters (vavpp, d3d11vpp, vdpaupp)
changed their deinterlacing-enabled setting depending on what the
--deinterlace option or property was set to. Now, a filter always does
what its filter options and defaults imply. The --deinterlace option and
property strictly add/remove its own filters. For example, if you run
"mpv --vf=vavpp --deinterlace=yes", this will insert another, redundant
filter, which is probably not what you want. For toggling a deinterlace
filter manually, use the "vf toggle" command, and do not set the
deinterlace option/property. To customize the filter that will be
DOCS/interface-changes.rst: don't suggest @deinterlace label --vf-defaults always applies, and the label is ignored. So don't suggest using it, it would be misleading.
2017-08-23 10:10:51 +00:00
inserted automatically, use --vf-defaults. Details how this works will
probably change in the future.
video: change --deinterlace behavior This removes all GPL only code from it, and that's the whole purpose. Also happens to be much simpler. The "deinterlace" option still sort of exists, but only as runtime changeable option. The main change in behavior is that the property will not report back the actual deint state. Or in other words, if inserting or initializing the filter fails, the deinterlace property will still return "yes". This is in line with most recent behavior changes to properties and options.
2017-08-22 17:08:07 +00:00
- remove deinterlace=auto (this was not deprecated, but had only a very
obscure use that stopped working with the change above. It was also
prone to be confused with a feature not implemented by it: auto did _not_
mean that deinterlacing was enabled on demand.)
input: use mnemonic names for mouse buttons mpv's mouse button numbering is based on X11 button numbering, which allows for an arbitrary number of buttons and includes mouse wheel input as buttons 3-6. This button numbering was used throughout the codebase and exposed in input.conf, and it was difficult to remember which physical button each number actually referred to and which referred to the scroll wheel. In practice, PC mice only have between two and five buttons and one or two scroll wheel axes, which are more or less in the same location and have more or less the same function. This allows us to use names to refer to the buttons instead of numbers, which makes input.conf syntax a lot easier to remember. It also makes the syntax robust to changes in mpv's underlying numbering. The old MOUSE_BTNx names are still understood as deprecated aliases of the named buttons. This changes both the input.conf syntax and the MP_MOUSE_BTNx symbols in the codebase, since I think both would benefit from using names over numbers, especially since some platforms don't use X11 button numbering and handle different mouse buttons in different windowing system events. This also makes the names shorter, since otherwise they would be pretty long, and it removes the high-numbered MOUSE_BTNx_DBL names, since they weren't used. Names are the same as used in Qt: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html#MouseButton-enum
2017-08-08 11:34:38 +00:00
- add shortened mnemonic names for mouse button bindings, eg. mbtn_left
the old numeric names (mouse_btn0) are deprecated
- remove mouse_btn3_dbl and up, since they are only generated for buttons
0-2 (these now print an error when sent from the 'mouse' command)
input: merge mouse wheel and axis keycodes Mouse wheel bindings have always been a cause of user confusion. Previously, on Wayland and macOS, precise touchpads would generate AXIS keycodes and notched mouse wheels would generate mouse button keycodes. On Windows, both types of device would generate AXIS keycodes and on X11, both types of device would generate mouse button keycodes. This made it pretty difficult for users to modify their mouse-wheel bindings, since it differed between platforms and in some cases, between devices. To make it more confusing, the keycodes used on Windows were changed in 18a45a42d524 without a deprecation period or adequate communication to users. This change aims to make mouse wheel binds less confusing. Both the mouse button and AXIS keycodes are now deprecated aliases of the new WHEEL keycodes. This will technically break input configs on Wayland and macOS that assign different commands to precise and non-precise scroll events, but this is probably uncommon (if anyone does it at all) and I think it's a fair tradeoff for finally fixing mouse wheel-related confusion on other platforms.
2017-09-02 14:00:52 +00:00
- rename the axis bindings to wheel_up/down/etc. axis scrolling and mouse
wheel scrolling are now conceptually the same thing
the old axis_up/down names remain as deprecated aliases

Some of them were removed in earlier releases.
audio: move replaygain control to top-level options af_volume is deprecated, and so are its replaygain sub-options. To make it possible to use replaygain without deprecated options (and of course to make it available at all after af_volume is dropped), reintroduce them as top-level options. This also means that they are easily changeable at runtime by using them as properties. Change the "volume" property to use the new update mechanism as well. We don't actually bother sharing the implementation between new and deprecated mechanisms, as the deprecated one will simply be deleted. For the from_dB() functions, we mention anders' copyright, although I'm not sure if a mere formula is copyrightable. This will have to be determined later. This whole change is mostly untested. Our distributed human CI will take care of it.
2017-04-26 19:45:50 +00:00
- introduce --replaygain... options, which replace the same functionality
provided by the deprecated --af=volume:replaygain... mechanism.
demux_raw: drop "mp-rawvideo" use This is an old pseudo codec to pass through the pixel format. Setup a suitable AVCodecParameter directly instead, so the "rawvideo" codec can be used.
2017-05-20 09:10:55 +00:00
- drop the internal "mp-rawvideo" codec (used by --demuxer=rawvideo)
options: slight cleanup of --sub-ass-style-override List of changes: 1. Rename `signfs` to `scale`, to better match what it actually does (force --sub-scale to apply to ASS subtitles), and fix the blatantly wrong documentation (it actually specifically does *not* apply to signs) 2. Rename `--sub-ass-style-override` to `--sub-ass-override` to help reduce confusion between it and `--sub-ass-force-style`, as well as pointing out that it doesn't necessarily actually override styles. (The new `scale` option, for example, only sets ASS_OVERRIDE_BIT_FONT_SIZE, but not ASS_OVERRIDE_BIT_STYLE) 3. Mention that `--sub-ass-override` is generally sort of smart about only overriding dialog, not signs.
2017-06-06 20:16:29 +00:00
- rename --sub-ass-style-override to --sub-ass-override, and rename the
`--sub-ass-override=signfs` setting to `--sub-ass-override=scale`.
dec_video: change license to LGPL (almost) "Almost" because this might contain copyright by michael, who agreed with LGPL, but only once the core is LGPL. This is preparation for that to happen. Apart from that, the usual remarks apply. In particular, dec_video.c started out quite chaotic with no modularization, but was later basically gutted, and in general rewritten a bunch of times. Not going to give a history lesson. Special attention needs to be given to 3 patches by cehosos, who did not agree to the relicensing: 240b743ebdf: --field-dominance e32cbbf7dc3: reinit VO if aspect ratio changes 306f6243fdf: use container aspect if codec aspect unset (?) The first patch is pretty clearly still in the current code, and needs to be disabled for LGPL. The functionality of the second patch is still active, but implemented completely different, and as part of general frame parameter changes (at the time of the patch, MPlayer already reinitialized the VO on frame size and pixel format changes - all this was merged into a single check for changing image parameters). The third patch makes me a bit more uncomfortable. It appears the code was moved to dec_video.c in de68b8f23c8c, and further changed in 82f0d373, 0a0bb905, and bf13bd0d. You could claim that cehoyos' copyright still sticks. Fortunately, we implement alternative aspect detection, which is simpler and probably preferable, and which arguably contains none of the original code and logic, and thus should be fully safe. While I don't know if cehoyos' copyright actually still applies, I'm more comfortable with making the code GPL-only for now. Also change the default to use the (in future) plain LGPL code, and deprecate the one associated with the GPL code, so we can eventually remove the GPL code. But it's also possible we decide that the copyright doesn't apply, and undo the deprecation and GPL guards. I expect that users won't notice anything. If you ask me, the old aspect method was probably an accidental bug instead of intentional behavior. Although, the new aspect method was broken too, so I had to fix it.
2017-06-18 16:27:48 +00:00
- change default of --video-aspect-method to "bitstream". The "hybrid"
method (old default) is deprecated.
video: refactor HDR implementation List of changes: 1. Kill nom_peak, since it's a pointless non-field that stores nothing of value and is _always_ derived from ref_white anyway. 2. Kill ref_white/--target-brightness, because the only case it really existed for (PQ) actually doesn't need to be this general: According to ITU-R BT.2100, PQ *always* assumes a reference monitor with a white point of 100 cd/m². 3. Improve documentation and comments surrounding this stuff. 4. Clean up some of the code in general. Move stuff where it belongs.
2017-06-10 12:01:25 +00:00
- remove property "video-params/nom-peak"
- remove option --target-brightness
- replace vf_format's `peak` suboption by `sig-peak`, which is relative to
the reference white level instead of in cd/m^2
csputils: rename HDR curves st2084 and std-b67 are really weird names for PQ and HLG, which is what everybody else (including e.g. the ITU-R) calls them. Follow their example. I decided against naming them bt2020-pq and bt2020-hlg because it's not necessary in this case. The standard name is only used for the other colorspaces etc. because those literally have no other names.
2017-06-13 15:09:02 +00:00
- renamed the TRCs `st2084` and `std-b67` to `pq` and `hlg` respectively
player: deprecate "osd" command It was extended by "seru" in 8d190244. This person could not be reached (or does not reply), and it's in the way of LGPL relicensing. Deprecate it, and mark the (probably) affected parts of the code with HAVE_GPL. To be fair, even though the osd.c parts were refactored from the original code, there's probably no copyright by seru on it. But for now play it save. The mere existence of a 3rd OSD level is certainly not copyrightable, so you still can set osd-level to 3 - just that it does nothing.
2017-06-23 12:27:53 +00:00
- the "osd" command is deprecated (use "cycle osd-level")
options: suggest a replacement for --field-dominance
2017-06-25 16:54:33 +00:00
- --field-dominance is deprecated (use --vf=setfield=bff or tff)
options: remove weird --really-quiet special behavior This was especially grating because it causes problems with the option/property unification, uses as only thing OPT_FLAG_STORE, and behaves weird with the client API or scripts. It can be reimplemented in a much simpler way, although it needs slightly more code. (Simpler because less special cases.)
2017-06-23 18:42:20 +00:00
- --really-quiet subtle behavior change
client API: drop old "no-" option emulation You could do mpv_set_option(h, "no-fs", ""), which would behave like "--no-fs" on the command line. At one point, this had to be emulated for compatibility, and printed a deprecation warning. This was almost a year ago, so remove it.
2017-06-26 17:55:40 +00:00
- the deprecated handling of setting "no-" options via client API is dropped
options: change path list options, and document list options The changes to path list options is basically getting rid of the need to pass multiple paths to a single option. Instead, you can use the option multiple times. The old behavior can be used by using the -set suffix with the option. Change some options to path lists. For example --script is now append by default, and if you use --script-set, you need to use ":"/";" as separator instead of ",". --sub-paths/--audio-file-paths is a deprecated alias now, and will break if the user tries to pass multiple paths to it. I'm assuming that if these are used, most users will pass only 1 path anyway. --opengl-shaders has more compatibility handling, since it's probably rather common that users pass multiple options to it. Also document all that in the manpage. I'll probably regret this later, as it somewhat increases the complexity of the option parser, rather than increasing it.
2017-06-30 14:39:36 +00:00
- the following options change to append-by-default (and possibly separator):
--script
also, the following options are deprecated:
options: change everything again Fucking bullshit.
2017-07-02 14:26:41 +00:00
--sub-paths => --sub-file-paths
the following options are deprecated for setting via API:
"script" (use "scripts")
"sub-file" (use "sub-files")
"audio-file" (use "audio-files")
"external-file" (use "external-files")
(the compatibility hacks for this will be removed after this release)
vo_opengl: refactor vo performance subsystem This replaces `vo-performance` by `vo-passes`, bringing with it a number of changes and improvements: 1. mpv users can now introspect the vo_opengl passes, which is something that has been requested multiple times. 2. performance data is now measured per-pass, which helps both development and debugging. 3. since adding more passes is cheap, we can now report information for more passes (e.g. the blit pass, and the osd pass). Note: we also switch to nanosecond scale, to be able to measure these passes better. 4. `--user-shaders` authors can now describe their own passes, helping users both identify which user shaders are active at any given time as well as helping shader authors identify performance issues. 5. the timing data per pass is now exported as a full list of samples, so projects like Argon-/mpv-stats can immediately read out all of the samples and render a graph without having to manually poll this option constantly. Due to gl_timer's design being complicated (directly reading performance data would block, so we delay the actual read-back until the next _start command), it's vital not to conflate different passes that might be doing different things from one frame to another. To accomplish this, the actual timers are stored as part of the gl_shader_cache's sc_entry, which makes them unique for that exact shader. Starting and stopping the time measurement is easy to unify with the gl_sc architecture, because the existing API already relies on a "generate, render, reset" flow, so we can just put timer_start and timer_stop in sc_generate and sc_reset, respectively. The ugliest thing about this code is that due to the need to keep pass information relatively stable in between frames, we need to distinguish between "new" and "redrawn" frames, which bloats the code somewhat and also feels hacky and vo_opengl-specific. (But then again, this entire thing is vo_opengl-specific)
2017-06-29 15:00:06 +00:00
- remove property `vo-performance`, and add `vo-passes` as a more general
replacement
m_option: deprecate multiple items for -add etc. This is more confusing than it helps, and forces escaping more stuff. For example, for string lists we could remove all need for escaling with -add and -pre. The user can simply use multiple of those options.
2017-07-02 14:46:27 +00:00
- deprecate passing multiple arguments to -add/-pre options (affects the
vf/af commands too)
demux_lavf: remove --demuxer-lavf-cryptokey option Was at least somewhat broken, and is misleading. I don't really have an idea why FFmpeg has two AVOptions here anyway. We don't need to care, and I'm only aware of 1 user trying this option ever. See #4579.
2017-07-06 15:58:26 +00:00
- remove --demuxer-lavf-cryptokey. Use --demux-lavf-o=cryptokey=<hex> or
--demux-lavf-o=decryption_key=<hex> instead (whatever fits your situation).
vo_opengl: rework --opengl-dumb-mode It's now possible to request non-dumb mode as a user, even when not using any non-dumb features. This change is mostly intended for testing, so I can easily switch between dumb and non-dumb mode on default settings. The default behavior is unaffected.
2017-07-07 12:46:46 +00:00
- rename --opengl-dumb-mode=no to --opengl-dumb-mode=auto, and make `no`
always disable it (unless forced on by hardware limitation).
vo_opengl: generalize --scale-clamp etc. This can help fight ringing without completely killing it, thus providing a middle-ground between ringing and aliasing.
2017-07-12 17:08:58 +00:00
- generalize --scale-clamp, --cscale-clamp etc. to accept a float between
0.0 and 1.0 instead of just being a flag. A value of 1.0 corresponds to
the old `yes`, and a value of 0.0 corresponds to the old `no`.
vo_opengl: remove dxva2 dummy hwdec backend This was a hack to let libmpv API users pass a d3d device to mpv. It's not needed anymore for 2 reasons: 1. ANGLE does not have this problem 2. Even native GL via nVidia (where this failed) seems to not require this anymore
2017-02-20 07:39:08 +00:00
--- mpv 0.25.0 ---
- remove opengl-cb dxva2 dummy hwdec interop
(see git "vo_opengl: remove dxva2 dummy hwdec backend")
image_writer: remove useless formats Nobody cares about those.
2017-03-18 13:24:53 +00:00
- remove ppm, pgm, pgmyuv, tga choices from the --screenshot-format and
--vo-image-format options
screenshot: change details of --screenshot-format handling This is just a pointless refactor with the only goal of making image_writer_opts.format a number. The pointless part of it is that instead of using some sort of arbitrary ID (in place of a file extension string), we use a AV_CODEC_ID_. There was also some idea of falling back to the libavcodec MJPEG encoder if mpv was not linked against libjpeg, but this fails. libavcodec insist on having AV_PIX_FMT_YUVJ420P, which we pretend does not exist, and which we always map to AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P (without the J indicating full range), so encoder init fails. This is pretty dumb, but whatever. The not-caring factor is raised by the fact that we don't know that we should convert to full range, because encoders have no proper way to signal this. (Be reminded that AV_PIX_FMT_YUVJ420P is deprecated.)
2017-03-18 14:03:05 +00:00
- the "jpeg" choice in the option above now leads to a ".jpg" file extension
af_drc: remove Remove low quality drc filter. Anyone whishing to have dynamic range compression should use the much more powerful acompressor ffmpeg filter: mpv --af=lavfi=[acompressor] INPUT Or with parameters: mpv --af=lavfi=[acompressor=threshold=-25dB:ratio=3:makeup=8dB] INPUT Refer to https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#acompressor for a full list of supported parameters. Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>

sub: add SDH subtitle filter Add subtitle filter to remove additions for deaf or hard-of-hearing (SDH). This is for English, but may in part work for others too. This is an ASS filter and the intention is that it can always be enabled as it by default do not remove parts that may be normal text. Harder filtering can be enabled with an additional option. Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>

- add --sub-filter-sdh
- add --sub-filter-sdh-harder
osx: fix key input in certain circumstances for a reason i can just assume some key events can vanish from the event chain and mpv seems unresponsive. after quite some testing i could confirm that the events are present at the first entry point of the event chain, the sendEvent method of the Application, and that they vanish at a point afterwards. now we use that entry point to grab keyDown and keyUp events. we also stop propagating those key events to prevent the no key input' error sound. if we ever need the key events somewhere down the event chain we need to start propagating them again. though this is not necessary currently.
2017-03-26 18:32:04 +00:00
- remove --input-app-events option (macOS)
DOCS/interface-changes.rst: document --vf/--af deprecations And also future directions. Basically, it tells the user that he can't hope for perfect forward-compatibility.
2017-04-04 15:16:54 +00:00
- deprecate most --vf and --af filters. Only some filters not in libavfilter
will be kept.
Also, you can use libavfilter filters directly (e.g. you can use
--vf=name=opts instead of --vf=lavfi=[name=opts]), as long as the
libavfilter filter's name doesn't clash with a mpv builtin filter.
In the long term, --vf/--af syntax might change again, but if it does, it
will switch to libavfilter's native syntax. (The above mentioned direct
support for lavfi filters still has some differences, such as how strings
are escaped.) If this happens, the non-deprecated builtin filters might be
moved to "somewhere else" syntax-wise.
options: deprecate --loop Also "announce" the plans to undeprecate it with changed semantics later. The deprecation period is needed to warn script authors and client API users (etc.) of the change. This is done because everyone seems to expect --loop to loop the current file, not the playlist. Even in cases when only 1 file is on the playlist, the --loop-file semantics seem to be preferred.
2017-04-10 19:19:13 +00:00
- deprecate --loop - after a deprecation period, it will be undeprecated,
but changed to alias --loop-file
player: add --keep-open-pause=no option Instead of pausing if --keep-open is active, stop at end but continue playing if seeking backwards. And then stop again when end is reached. Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere> Over the PR, the option was renamed, and the manpage additions were slightly changed/enhanced.
2017-03-27 09:34:02 +00:00
- add --keep-open-pause=no
demux: estimate total packet size, deprecate packet number limits It's all explained in the DOCS changes. Although this option was always kind of obscure and pointless. Until it is removed, the only reason for setting it would be to raise the static default limit, so change its default to INT_MAX so that it does nothing by default.
2017-04-14 17:19:44 +00:00
- deprecate --demuxer-max-packets
options: change --audio-file-auto default to not to load any files There have been user complaints, and I'm annoyed by this behavior myself.
2017-04-20 03:29:04 +00:00
- change --audio-file-auto default from "exact" to "no" (mpv won't load
files with the same filename as the video, but different extension, as

vo_opengl, vo_opengl_cb: better hwdec interop backend selection Introduce the --opengl-hwdec-interop option, which replaces --hwdec-preload. The new option allows explicit selection of the interop backend. This is relatively complex, and I would have preferred not to add this, but it's probably useful to debug certain problems. In exchange, the "new" option documents that pretty much any but the simplest use of it will not be forward compatible.
2017-01-17 13:51:08 +00:00
--- mpv 0.24.0 ---
- deprecate --hwdec-api and replace it with --opengl-hwdec-interop.
The new option accepts both --hwdec values, as well as named backends.
A minor difference is that --hwdec-api=no (which used to be the default)
now actually does not preload any interop layer, while the new default
("") uses the value of --hwdec.
options: drop deprecated --vd/--ad codecs selection features Only simple selection works now. Using "-" to terminate codec selection remains in the code (might get undeprecated).
2017-01-19 14:38:58 +00:00
- drop deprecated --ad/--vd features
options: drop deprecated --sub-codepage syntax
2017-01-19 14:44:49 +00:00
- drop deprecated --sub-codepage syntax
command: rename framedrop properties "drop-frame-count" -> "decoder-frame-drop-count" "vo-drop-frame-count" -> "frame-drop-count" This gets rid of the backwards "drop-frame" part in the name. Maybe calling the new property "frame-drops" would be better, but there are already a bunch of similar properties that end in "-count".
2017-01-20 16:01:29 +00:00
- rename properties:
- "drop-frame-count" to "decoder-frame-drop-count"
- "vo-drop-frame-count" to "frame-drop-count"
The old names still work, but are deprecated.
player: remove --stream-capture option/property This was excessively useless, and I want my time back that was needed to explain users why they don't want to use it. It captured the byte stream only, and even for types of streams it was designed for (like transport streams), it was rather questionable. As part of the removal, un-inline demux_run_on_thread() (which has only 1 call-site now), and sort of reimplement --stream-dump to write the data directly instead of using the removed capture code. (--stream-dump is also very useless, and I struggled coming up with an explanation for it in the manpage.)
2017-01-21 16:19:01 +00:00
- remove the --stream-capture option and property. No replacement.
manpage: fix incorrect option name for --record-file Also the one in interface-changes.rst. Fixes #4121.
2017-02-08 05:54:47 +00:00
(--record-file might serve as alternative)
sub: add justify of subtitles To make it easier for the eyes, multi line subtitles should be left justified (for most languages). This adds an option to define how subtitles are to be justified inpendently of how they are aligned. Also add option to enable --sub-justify to be applied on ASS subtitles.
2017-02-01 12:19:09 +00:00
- add --sub-justify
- add --sub-ass-justify
player: different way to auto-enable the demuxer cache Instead of enabling it only when a stream-cache is enabled, also try to enable it independently from that if the demuxer is marked as is_network. Also add some code to the EDL code, so EDLs containing network streams are automatically cached this way. Extend the OSD info line so that it shows the demuxer cache in this case (more or less). I didn't find where or whether options.rst describes how the demuxer cache is enabled, so no changes there.
2017-02-02 17:38:16 +00:00
- internally there's a different way to enable the demuxer cache now
it can be auto-enabled even if the stream cache remains disabled
vf_vdpaurb: remove this filter Was deprecated, superseded by --hwdec=vdpau-copy.
2016-11-22 13:57:34 +00:00
--- mpv 0.23.0 ---
- remove deprecated vf_vdpaurb (use "--hwdec=vdpau-copy" instead)
command: redefine some deprecated properties As threatened by the API changes document. We can actually keep the deprecated --playlist-pos and --cache options, since they are aliases and not used by the corresponding properties. They are inconsistent, but do no harm. Keep them for now for the sake of the command line user. mpv_identify.sh partially stopped working, because it was never updated. The shell magic can't deal with property names that contain "/", so we can't replace "samplerate" with "audio-params/samplerate" - just remove these properties. (How about you use ffprobe?)
2016-11-22 14:38:01 +00:00
- the following properties now have new semantics:
- "demuxer" (use "current-demuxer")
- "fps" (use "container-fps")
- "idle" (use "idle-active")
- "cache" (use "cache-percent")
- "audio-samplerate" (use "audio-params/samplerate")
- "audio-channels" (use "audio-params/channel-count")
- "audio-format" (use "audio-codec-name")
(the properties equivalent to the old semantics are in parentheses)
options: remove deprecated sub-option handling for --vo and --ao Long planned. Leads to some sanity. There still are some rather gross things. Especially g_groups is ugly, and a hack that can hopefully be removed. (There is a plan for it, but whether it's implemented depends on how much energy is left.)
2016-11-25 20:00:39 +00:00
- remove deprecated --vo and --ao sub-options (like --vo=opengl:...), and
replace them with global options. A somewhat complete list can be found
here: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/Option-replacement-list#mpv-0210
- remove --vo-defaults and --ao-defaults as well
options: remove legacy global sub-option syntax A bit of sanity, although a very small one. --vo sub-options are not affected by this yet.
2016-11-22 14:52:55 +00:00
- remove deprecated global sub-options (like -demuxer-rawaudio format=...),
use flat options (like --demuxer-rawaudio-format=...)
charset_conv: simplify and change --sub-codepage option As documented in interface-changes.rst. This makes it much easier to follow what the heck is going on. Whether this is adequate for real-world use is unknown.
2016-12-09 18:51:29 +00:00
- the --sub-codepage option changes in incompatible ways:
- detector-selection and fallback syntax is deprecated
- enca/libguess are removed and deprecated (behaves as if they hadn't
been compiled-in)
- --sub-codepage=<codepage> does not force the codepage anymore
(this requires different and new syntax)
cocoa: fullscreen refactoring this replaces the old fullscreen with the native macOS fullscreen. additional the --fs-black-out-screens was removed since the new API doesn't support it in a way the old one did. it can possibly be re-added if done manually. Fixes #2857 #3272 #1352 #2062 #3864
2016-12-04 21:52:14 +00:00
- remove --fs-black-out-screens option for macOS
audio: change how spdif codecs are selected Remove ad_spdif from the normal codec list, and select it explicitly. One goal was to decouple this from the normal codec selection, so they're less entangled and the decoder selection code can be simplified in the far future. This means spdif codec selection is now done explicitly via select_spdif_codec(). We can also remove the weird requirements on "dts" and "dts-hd" for the --audio-spdif option, and it can just do the right thing. Now both video and audio codecs consist of a single codec family each, vd_lavc and ad_lavc.
2016-12-23 17:03:16 +00:00
- change how spdif codecs are selected. You can't enable spdif passthrough
with --ad anymore. This was deprecated; use --audio-spdif instead.
options: deprecate codec family selection in --vd/--ad Useless now, so get rid of it. Also affects some user-visible display things (like reported codec in use).
2016-12-23 17:12:29 +00:00
- deprecate the "family" selection with --ad/--vd
options: deprecate some other complex --ad/--vd features Who even needs those? Once these deprecations are gone, --ad/--vd are simple lists without any kind of complex matching.
2016-12-23 17:18:17 +00:00
forcing/excluding codecs with "+", "-", "-" is deprecated as well
options: explicitly deprecate --ad-spdif-dtshd Has been less formally deprecated for a longer time.
2016-12-23 17:12:54 +00:00
- explicitly mark --ad-spdif-dtshd as deprecated (it was done so a long time
ago, but it didn't complain when using the option)
DOCS: update interface changes
2016-11-20 16:37:22 +00:00
--- mpv 0.22.0 ---
- the "audio-device-list" property now sets empty device description to the
device name as a fallback
- add --hidpi-window-scale option for macOS
- add audiounit audio output for iOS
- make --start-time work with --rebase-start-time=no
- add --opengl-early-flush=auto mode
- add --hwdec=vdpau-copy, deprecate vf_vdpaurb
- add tct video output for true-color and 256-color terminals
m_config: handle --no-... options differently Instead of adding "no-"-prefixed aliases to the internal option list, which will act like normal options, do it in the parsing stage. This turns out to be simpler (and cheaper), and avoids adding aliased options.
2016-08-31 14:45:58 +00:00
--- mpv 0.21.0 ---
DOCS/interface-changes.rst: reword a line Try to make it sound a bit less weird. Probably still sounds weird, so feel free to propose further changes.
2016-11-15 22:45:57 +00:00
- unlike in older versions, setting options at runtime will now take effect
immediately (see for example issue #3281). On the other hand, it will also
options: take care of propertly updating options on runtime changes All option write accesses are now put through the property interface, which means runtime option value verification and runtime updates are applied. This is done even for command line arguments and config files. This has many subtle and not-so-subtle consequences. The potential for unintended and intended subtle or not-subtle behavior changes is very large. Architecturally, this is us literally jumping through hoops. It really should work the other way around, with options being able to have callbacks for value verification and applying runtime updates. But this would require rewriting the entirety of command.c. This change is more practical, and if anything will at least allow incremental changes. Some options are too incompatible for this to work - these are excluded with an explicit blacklist. This change fixes many issues caused by the mismatch between properties and options. For example, this fixes #3281.
2016-09-17 18:48:22 +00:00
do runtime verification and reject option changes that do not work
(example: setting the "vf" option to a filter during playback, which fails
to initialize - the option value will remain at its old value). In general,
"set name value" should be mostly equivalent to "set options/name value"
in cases where the "name" property is not deprecated and "options/name"
exists - deviations from this are either bugs, or documented as caveats
in the "Inconsistencies between options and properties" manpage section.
options: deprecate suboptions for the remaining AO/VOs
2016-09-05 19:07:03 +00:00
- deprecate _all_ --vo and --ao suboptions. Generally, all suboptions are
replaced by global options, which do exactly the same. For example,
"--vo=opengl:scale=nearest" turns into "--scale=nearest". In some cases,
DOCS/interface-changes.rst: minor cleanup Edit the 0.21.0 section: remove the redundant vo_opengl items, move some up. Move the additions (which are less important and which aren't documented completely anyway) below the incompatible changes/deprecations.
2016-09-13 08:02:27 +00:00
the global option is prefixed, e.g. "--vo=opengl:pbo" turns into
"--opengl-pbo".
DOCS/interface-changes.rst: list exact sub-option replacements Actually, only link to a wiki page doing that, because these are too many options.
2016-09-06 18:10:05 +00:00
Most of the exact replacements are documented here:
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/Option-replacement-list
DOCS/interface-changes.rst: minor cleanup Edit the 0.21.0 section: remove the redundant vo_opengl items, move some up. Move the additions (which are less important and which aren't documented completely anyway) below the incompatible changes/deprecations.
2016-09-13 08:02:27 +00:00
- remove --vo=opengl-hq. Set --profile=opengl-hq instead. Note that this
profile does not force the VO. This means if you use the --vo option to
set another VO, it won't work. But this also means it can be used with
opengl-cb.
- remove the --vo=opengl "pre-shaders", "post-shaders" and "scale-shader"
sub-options: they were deprecated in favor of "user-shaders"
- deprecate --vo-defaults (no replacement)
- remove the vo-cmdline command. You can set OpenGL renderer options
directly via properties instead.
audio/out: deprecate device sub-options We have --audio-device, which can force the device. Also add something describing to this extent to the manpage.
2016-09-05 19:07:30 +00:00
- deprecate the device/sink options on all AOs. Use --audio-device instead.
audio/out: deprecate "exclusive" sub-options And introduce a global option which does this. Or more precisely, this deprecates the global wasapi and coreaudio options, and adds a new one that merges their functionality. (Due to the way the sub-option deprecation mechanism works, this is simpler.)
2016-09-05 19:07:34 +00:00
- deprecate "--ao=wasapi:exclusive" and "--ao=coreaudio:exclusive",
use --audio-exclusive instead.
m_config: handle --no-... options differently Instead of adding "no-"-prefixed aliases to the internal option list, which will act like normal options, do it in the parsing stage. This turns out to be simpler (and cheaper), and avoids adding aliased options.
2016-08-31 14:45:58 +00:00
- subtle changes in how "--no-..." options are treated mean that they are
not accessible under "options/..." anymore (instead, these are resolved
at parsing time). This does not affect options which start with "--no-",
but do not use the mechanism for negation options.
client API: deprecate "no-..." option handling The client API can do this (and there are apparently some libmpv using projects which rely on this). But it's just unnecessary bloat as it requires a separate code path from the option parser. It would be better to remove this code. Formally deprecate it, including API bump and warning in the API changes file to make it really clear.
2016-08-31 15:28:42 +00:00
(Also see client API change for API version 1.23.)
command: rename/deprecate some conflicting property names These conflict with options of the same name, and prevent a "full" unification. Not addressed is the "cache" property, and possibly a few properties that behave differently from their equivalent options.
2016-09-01 18:01:02 +00:00
- rename the following properties
- "demuxer" -> "current-demuxer"
- "fps" -> "container-fps"
- "idle" -> "idle-active"
command: deprecate "cache" property, replace with "cache-percent" The --cache option and cache property conflict, so one of them has to be renamed. The option is probably used frequently, so initiate deprecation/rename of the property.
2016-09-02 07:42:19 +00:00
- "cache" -> "cache-percent"
Fix some future release version numbers Since the recent release was named 0.22.0 instead of 0.21.1, bump all mentions of 0.22.0 to 0.23.0. These were planned removals of deprecated versions, which obviously didn't happen in 0.22.0.
2016-11-21 19:17:41 +00:00
the old names are deprecated and will change behavior in mpv 0.23.0.
command: remove 2 deprecated properties They were delcared to be removed in mpv 0.20.0, and the next release will be 0.21.0.
2016-09-01 18:01:29 +00:00
- remove deprecated "hwdec-active" and "hwdec-detected" properties
config: deprecate ao and vo auto-profiles These never made any sense. They checked the --vo/--ao option, and applied the profile corresponding to the first entry. So the only way to get any use of those was to use the --ao or --vo option explicitly. You can get the same functionality by making a manual profile, making these force the ao/vo, and then using --profile on command line instead of --vo/--ao.
2016-09-03 10:46:26 +00:00
- deprecate the ao and vo auto-profiles (they never made any sense)
vo_direct3d: deprecate direct3d_shaders alias And remove the difference between the aliases. This is needed to make the sub-option changes less painful.
2016-09-05 19:05:31 +00:00
- deprecate "--vo=direct3d_shaders" - use "--vo=direct3d" instead.
Change "--vo=direct3d" to always use shaders by default.
options: rename/deprecate --playlist-pos Conflicts with the "playlist-pos" property. They're really a bit too different, and since the --playlist-pos option is relatively new and obscure, just rename it to get this out of the way.
2016-09-18 11:38:45 +00:00
- deprecate --playlist-pos option, renamed to --playlist-start
player: more option/property consistency fixes Some properties had a different type from their equivalent options (such as mute, volume, deinterlace, edition). This wasn't really sane, as raw option values should be always within their bounds. On the other hand, these properties use a different type to reflect runtime limits (such as range of available editions), or simply to improve the "UI" (you don't want to cycle throuhg the completely useless "auto" value when cycling the "mute" property). Handle this by making them always return the option type, but also allowing them to provide a "constricted" type, which is used for UI purposes. All M_PROPERTY_GET_CONSTRICTED_TYPE changes are related to this. One consequence is that you can set the volume property to arbitrary high values just like with the --volume option, but using the "add" command it still restricts it to the --volume-max range. Also deprecate --chapter, as it is grossly incompatible to the chapter property. We pondered renaming it to --chapters, or introducing a more powerful --range option, but concluded that --start --end is actually enough. These changes appear to take care of the last gross property/option incompatibilities, although there might still be a few lurking.
2016-09-18 14:06:12 +00:00
- deprecate the --chapter option, as it is redundant with --start/--end,
and conflicts with the semantics of the "chapter" property
options: rename subtitle options Rename the text subtitle options from --sub-text- to --sub- and --ass- options to --sub-ass-. The intention is to common sub options to prefixed --sub- and special ASS option be seen as a special version of sub options. The OSD options that work like the --sub- options are still named --osd-. Man page updated including a short note about renamed --sub-text-* and --ass-* options to --sub-* and --sub-ass-*.
2016-10-02 15:08:14 +00:00
- rename --sub-text-* to --sub-* and --ass-* to --sub-ass-* (old options
deprecated)
stream_cdda: remove weird option parsing stuff Mostly untested. This is not compatible. It removes the URL fields for track range and cdrom speed (what did this even do). The device is not not to be prefixed with an additional "/" if it's put into the URL. I can't be bothered to keep these things compatible, just rip your damn CDs instead.
2016-09-09 15:39:22 +00:00
- incompatible change to cdda:// protocol options: the part after cdda://
now always sets the device, not the span or speed to be played. No
separating extra "/" is needed. The hidden --cdda-device options is also
deleted (it was redundant with the documented --cdrom-device).
Fix some future release version numbers Since the recent release was named 0.22.0 instead of 0.21.1, bump all mentions of 0.22.0 to 0.23.0. These were planned removals of deprecated versions, which obviously didn't happen in 0.22.0.
2016-11-21 19:17:41 +00:00

vo_rpi: deprecate this VO

- deprecate --mute=auto (informally has been since 0.18.1)

DOCS/interface-changes.rst: mention seek command change This is potentially incompatible if a program used negative timestamps to deal with timestamp resets, which would potentially lead to mpv producing and using negative timestamps.
2016-10-03 13:49:53 +00:00
- the "seek" command's absolute seek mode will now interpret negative
seek times as relative from the end of the file (and clamps seeks that
still go before 0)
DOCS/interface-changes.rst: minor cleanup Edit the 0.21.0 section: remove the redundant vo_opengl items, move some up. Move the additions (which are less important and which aren't documented completely anyway) below the incompatible changes/deprecations.
2016-09-13 08:02:27 +00:00
- add almost all options to the property list, meaning you can change
options without adding "options/" to the property name (a new section
has been added to the manpage describing some conflicting behavior
between options and properties)
- implement changing sub-speed during playback
player: make --osc/--ytdl settable during playback Setting the osc or ytdl properties will now load/unload the associated scripts. (For ytdl this does not mean the currently played URL will be reloaded.) Also add a changelog entry for this, which also covers the preceding work for --terminal.
2016-09-19 22:59:54 +00:00
- make many previously fixed options changeable at runtime (for example
--terminal, --osc, --ytdl, can all be enable/disabled after
mpv_initialize() - this can be extended to other still fixed options
on user requests)
player: add option to control duration of image display The --image-display-duration option controls how long an image is displayed. It's also possible to display the image forever (until manual user interaction stops playback). With this, the core drops the old method to "drain" video (i.e. waiting for the last frame duration on end of playback). Instead, we reuse MPContext.time_frame. The old mechanism was disabled for non-images anyway. Fixes #3425.
2016-08-17 20:45:44 +00:00
--- mpv 0.20.0 ---
- add --image-display-duration option - this also means that image duration
is not influenced by --mf-fps anymore in the general case (this is an
incompatible change)
DOCS: Update version
2016-08-15 14:16:17 +00:00
--- mpv 0.19.0 ---
audio: refactor mixer code and delete mixer.c mixer.c didn't really deserve to be separate anymore, as half of its contents were unnecessary glue code after recent changes. It also created a weird split between audio.c and af.c due to the fact that mixer.c could insert audio filters. With the code being in audio.c directly, together with other code that unserts filters during runtime, it will be possible to cleanup this code a bit and make it work like the video filter code. As part of this change, make the balance code work like the volume code, and add an option to back the current balance value. Also, since the balance semantics are unexpected for most users (panning between the audio channels, instead of just changing the relative volume), and there are some other volumes, formally deprecate both the old property and the new option.
2016-07-17 17:21:28 +00:00
- deprecate "balance" option/property (no replacement)
options: deprecate --heartbeat-cmd It's useless. --heartbeat-interval is also considered deprecated, but this is not made explicit.
2016-06-29 16:10:15 +00:00
--- mpv 0.18.1 ---
- deprecate --heartbeat-cmd
audio: drop --softvol=no and --softvol=auto Drop the code for switching the volume options and properties between af_volume and AO volume controls. interface-changes.rst mentions the changes in detail. Do this because this was exceedingly complex and had other problems as well. It was also very hard to test. It's just not worth the trouble. Some leftovers like AOCONTROL_HAS_PER_APP_VOLUME will be removed at a later point. Fixes #3322.
2016-07-09 16:31:18 +00:00

softvol, and behave as expected without surprises (e.g. you can set
them normally while no audio is initialized)
- rename --softvol-max to --volume-max (deprecated alias is added)
- the --volume-restore-data option and property are removed without
replacement. They were _always_ internal, and used for watch-later
resume/restore. Now --volume/--mute are saved directly instead.
- the previous point means resuming files with older watch-later configs
will print an error about missing --volume-restore-data (which you can
ignore), and will not restore the previous value
- as a consequence, volume controls will no longer control PulseAudio
per-application value, or use the system mixer's per-application
volume processing
- system or per-application volume can still be controlled with the
ao-volume and ao-mute properties (there are no command line options)
DOCS: change version references from 0.17.1 to 0.18.0 0.17.1 was never released, so the actual 0.18.0 release takes its place.

command: if only ab-loop-b is set, loop from start of file Commit 382bafcb changed the behavior for ab-loop-a. This commit changes ab-loop-b so that the behavior is symmetric. Adjust the OSD rendering accordingly to the two changes. Also fix mentions of the "ab_loop" command to the now preferred "ab-loop".
2016-04-21 20:15:17 +00:00

sd_add: replace --sub-ass=no with --ass-style-override=strip --sub-ass=no / --ass=no still work, but --ass-style-override=strip is preferred now. With this change, --ass-style-override can control all the types of style overriding.
2016-04-30 12:25:23 +00:00
- deprecate --sub-ass=no option by --ass-style-override=strip
(also needs --embeddedfonts=no)
command: change some hwdec properties Introduce hwdec-current and hwdec-interop properties. Deprecate hwdec-detected, which never made a lot of sense, and which is replaced by the new properties. hwdec-active also becomes useless, as hwdec-current is a superset, so it's deprecated too (for now).
2016-05-04 14:55:26 +00:00
- add "hwdec-interop" and "hwdec-current" properties
- deprecated "hwdec-active" and "hwdec-detected" properties (to be removed

client API: access choices as flags if appropriate Options/properties that are choices, and which include "yes" or "no" values (or both) can now be read and written as MPV_FORMAT_FLAG. For write access, rejecting flags in these cases was obnoxiously unintuitive and inconvenient. For read access, the value of this is less convincing, and actually it's a major API change. At this point I probably have to admit that the finer details of the client API are very unstable.
2016-05-04 15:37:54 +00:00
- choice option/property values that are "yes" or "no" will now be returned
as booleans when using the mpv_node functions in the client API, the
"native" property accessors in Lua, and the JSON API. They can be set as
such as well.
vo_opengl: remove non-working rgb/rgba FBO formats Following commit 84ccebd9, the internal helpers don't allow GL_RGB and GL_RGBA as internal formats for FBO attachments anymore. While OpenGL itself is perfectly fine with it, I don't see much of a reason to bother, and mixing sized and unsized internal formats is confusing anyway. Just remove these formats.
2016-05-20 21:21:43 +00:00
- the VO opengl fbo-format sub-option does not accept "rgb" or "rgba"
anymore
vo_opengl: remove prescaling framework with superxbr prescaler Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>
2016-06-10 12:35:09 +00:00
- all VO opengl prescalers have been removed (replaced by user scripts)
command: export more information under track-list Export a number of container fields, which may or may not be useful in some scenarios. They are explicitly marked as originating from the demuxer, in order to make it explicit that they might be unreliable. I'd actually like to remove all other cases where container information is exported, but those numerous cases are going to be somewhat hard to deprecate. Also, not directly related, export the description of the currently active decoder. (This has been requested before.)
2016-02-29 19:55:44 +00:00
--- mpv 0.17.0 ---
- deprecate "track-list/N/audio-channels" property (use
"track-list/N/demux-channel-count" instead)
command: change stream-pos semantics Changing the byte stream position without cooperation of the demuxer seems a bit insane, and is certainly useless. A user should do factor seeks instead. For formats like ts, this will actually translate to byte seeks, while treating the rest of the playback chain a bit more gracefully. With this argument, remove write access to this property. If someone really complains, proper byte seeks could be added as seek mode (although I'm going to need a convincing argument for this). Read access changes too, but in a more subtle way.
2016-03-09 22:34:04 +00:00
- remove write access to "stream-pos", and change semantics for read access
lua: don't suspend core by default during script execution This changes behavior somewhat. The old behavior can be restored by running "mp.use_suspend=true". It was originally introduced for the OSC, but I can't reproduce whatever misbehavior I was seeing. (See mp.suspend()/resume() for explanations what the suspend mechanism does.)
2016-03-18 21:03:04 +00:00
- Lua scripts now don't suspend mpv by default while script code is run
command: add cache-speed property Should reflect I/O speed. This could go into the terminal status line. But I'm not sure how to put it there, since it already uses too much space, so it's not there yet.
2016-03-20 18:48:55 +00:00
- add "cache-speed" property
DOCS/interface-changes: mention --input-ipc-server change
2016-03-24 18:24:40 +00:00
- rename --input-unix-socket to --input-ipc-server, and make it work on
Windows too
aspect: make video-zoom logarithmic The past behavior was a bit weird, especially when zooming out. There was no simple way to zoom in or out in consistent increments using keybindings alone. The new behavior preserves most of the old behavior's semantics but scales out to infinity better. It coincidentally also makes it really easy to get clean power of 2 ratios (e.g. 2x, 4x, 8x and their inverses). Fixes #3004.
2016-04-03 11:55:37 +00:00
- change the exact behavior of the "video-zoom" property
aspect: rework --video-unscaled In the past, --video-unscaled also disabled zooming and aspect ratio corrections. But this didn't make much sense in terms of being a useful option. The new behavior just sets the initial video size to be unscaled, but it's still affected by zoom commands and aspect ratio corrections. To get the old behavior back, --video-aspect=0 --video-zoom=0 need to be added as well (in the general case). Most of the time it should not make a difference though. Also, there seems to have been some additional dst_rect clamping code inside src_dst_split_scaling that didn't seem to either be necessary nor ever get triggered. (The code immediately above it already makes sure to crop the video if it's larger than the dst_rect) No idea why it was there, but I just removed it.
2016-04-10 15:26:32 +00:00
- --video-unscaled no longer disables --video-zoom and --video-aspect
To force the old behavior, set --video-zoom=0 and --video-aspect=0
audio: change --audio-channels default back to stereo 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.
2016-01-20 16:12:08 +00:00
--- mpv 0.16.0 ---
- change --audio-channels default to stereo (use --audio-channels=auto to
get the old default)
audio: change downmix behavior, add --audio-normalize-downmix 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.
2016-01-20 16:14:04 +00:00
- add --audio-normalize-downmix
- change the default downmix behavior (--audio-normalize-downmix=yes to get
the old default)
vo_opengl: rename custom shader entrypoint from sample to sample_pixel "sample" is a reserved identifier at least in GLES ES. Suggestions for a better name than "sample_pixel" are still welcome. Fixes #2733.
2016-01-25 19:24:41 +00:00
- VO opengl custom shaders must now use "sample_pixel" as function name,
instead of "sample"
vo_opengl: default scaler-resizes-only sub-option to yes 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.)
2016-01-25 20:35:39 +00:00
- change VO opengl scaler-resizes-only default to enabled
vo_opengl: replace tscale-interpolates-only with interpolation-threshold The previous approach was too naive, and can e.g. ruin playback if scheduling switches e.g. between 1 and 2 vsync per frame.
2016-01-27 20:07:17 +00:00
- add VO opengl "interpolation-threshold" suboption (introduces new default
behavior, which can change e.g. ``--video-sync=display-vdrop`` to the
worse, but is usually what you want)
command: always allow setting volume/mute properties 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
2016-01-26 14:12:42 +00:00
- make "volume" and "mute" properties changeable even if no audio output is
active (this gives not-ideal behavior if --softvol=no is used)
- add "volume-max" and "mixer-active" properties
input: ignore --input-cursor for events injected by input commands Apparently useful for window embedding. Fixes #2750.
2016-02-04 22:01:15 +00:00
- ignore --input-cursor option for events injected by input commands like
"mouse", "keydown", etc.
vf_yadif: change defaults 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).
2015-12-21 21:04:53 +00:00
--- mpv 0.15.0 ---
- change "yadif" video filter defaults
command: add vsync-ratio property 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.)
2015-11-13 21:48:32 +00:00
--- mpv 0.14.0 ---
DOCS/interface-changes: add some recent changes
2015-11-29 12:07:04 +00:00
- vo_opengl interpolation now requires --video-sync=display-... to be set
- change some vo_opengl defaults (including changing tscale)
- add "vsync-ratio", "estimated-display-fps" properties
player: handle rebasing start time differently 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.)
2015-11-16 21:47:17 +00:00
- add --rebase-start-time option
This is a breaking change to start time handling. Instead of making start
time handling an aspect of different options and properties (like
"time-pos" vs. "playback-time"), make it dependent on the new option. For
compatibility, the "time-start" property now always returns 0, so code
which attempted to handle rebasing manually will not break.
vo_opengl_cb: make operation more similar to normal VOs 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).
2015-11-09 19:49:30 +00:00
--- mpv 0.13.0 ---
- remove VO opengl-cb frame queue suboptions (no replacement)
vo_opengl: remove sharpen scalers, add sharpen sub-option 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.
2015-09-23 20:43:27 +00:00
--- mpv 0.12.0 ---
options: remove --use-text-osd
2015-10-24 17:09:35 +00:00
- remove --use-text-osd (useless; fontconfig isn't a requirement anymore,
and text rendering is also lazily initialized)
command: make time properties unavailable if timestamp is unknown Let's hope this doesn't confuse client API users too much. It's still the best solution to get rid of corner cases where it actually return the wrong timestamp on start, and then suddenly jump.
2015-10-16 14:16:10 +00:00
- some time properties (at least "playback-time", "time-pos",
"time-remaining", "playtime-remaining") now are unavailable if the time
is unknown, instead of just assuming that the internal playback position
is 0
audio: add option for falling back to ao_null 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.)
2015-10-05 16:53:02 +00:00
- add --audio-fallback-to-null option
video: replace vf_format outputlevels option with global option 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.
2015-09-29 19:12:26 +00:00
- replace vf_format outputlevels suboption with "video-output-levels" global
property/option; also remove "colormatrix-output-range" property
vo_opengl: remove sharpen scalers, add sharpen sub-option 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.
2015-09-23 20:43:27 +00:00
- vo_opengl: remove sharpen3/sharpen5 scale filters, add sharpen sub-option
af_lavfi: implement af-metadata property Works like vf-metadata. Unfortunately requires some code duplication (even though it's not much). Fixes #2311.
2015-09-11 21:04:02 +00:00
--- mpv 0.11.0 ---
- add "af-metadata" property
DOCS: cleanup API changes version markers Make it so that they don't need to be edited on release (no change in tense). Also, move the "stray" changes after client API version 1.19 to 1.19 itself.
2015-09-10 12:08:10 +00:00
--- mpv 0.10.0 ---
video: make container vs. bitstream aspect ratio configurable Utterly idiotic bullshit. Fixes #2259.
2015-08-30 21:01:46 +00:00
- add --video-aspect-method option
player: add --playlist-pos option Oddly often requested.
2015-08-22 20:08:17 +00:00
- add --playlist-pos option
player: add display sync mode 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.
2015-08-10 16:43:25 +00:00
- add --video-sync* options
"display-sync-active" property
"vo-missed-frame-count" property
"audio-speed-correction" and "video-speed-correction" properties
demux: remove options to control minimum packet queue size 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.
2015-08-05 21:38:23 +00:00
- remove --demuxer-readahead-packets and --demuxer-readahead-bytes
demux: add options to control maximum queue size 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.
2015-08-05 21:41:29 +00:00
add --demuxer-max-packets and --demuxer-max-bytes
(the new options are not replacement and have very different semantics)
DOCS: document video-aspect behavior change Forgotten in commit ae2f8fd0.
2015-08-05 19:29:09 +00:00
- change "video-aspect" property: always settable, even if no video is
running; always return the override - if no override is set, return
the video's aspect ratio
player: remove higher-level remains of DVD/BD menu support 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.
2015-08-03 21:33:03 +00:00
- remove disc-nav (DVD, BD) related properties and commands
command: add property indicating per-file options Fixes #2165, more or less.
2015-07-23 20:59:04 +00:00
- add "option-info/<name>/set-locally" property
cache: make backbuffer size configurable Allow setting an arbitrary amount, instead of the fixed 50%. This is nto striclty backwards compatible. The defaults don't change, but the --cache/--cache-default options now set the readahead portion. So in practice, users who configured this until now will see the double amount of cache being used, _plus_ the 75MB default backbuffer will be in use.
2015-07-22 21:38:45 +00:00
- add --cache-backbuffer; change --cache-default default to 75MB
the new total cache size is the sum of backbuffer and the cache size
specified by --cache-default or --cache
command: add track-list/N/audio-channels property Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere> (With some heavy modifications from the original patch.)
2015-07-03 00:33:54 +00:00
- add ``track-list/N/audio-channels`` property
screenshot: don't write PNG colorspace tags by default Generates too much discussion and confusion. Fixes #2051.
2015-07-18 16:33:54 +00:00
- change --screenshot-tag-colorspace default value
sub: add option for stretching image subtitles to screen Probably makes users happy who want bitmap subtitles to show up in the screen margins, and stops them from doing idiotic crap with vf_expand. Fixes #2098.
2015-07-18 12:36:17 +00:00
- add --stretch-image-subs-to-screen
player: parse and expose m3u playlist titles Requested. Closes #2100.
2015-07-10 19:22:35 +00:00
- add "playlist/N/title" property
video: add a way to disable automatic stereo conversion Fixes #2111.
2015-07-10 16:04:34 +00:00
- add --video-stereo-mode=no to disable auto-conversions
player: disable seeking even if the cache is enabled Until now, if a stream wasn't seekable, but the stream cache was enabled (--cache), we've enabled seeking anyway. The idea was that at least short seeks would typically fall within the cache. And if not, the user was out of luck and terrible things happened. In other words, it was unreliable. Be stricter about it and remove this behavior. Effectively, this will for example disable seeking in piped data. Instead of trying to be clever, add an --force-seekable option, which will always enable seeking if the user really wants it.
2015-07-08 20:04:35 +00:00
- add --force-seekable, and change default seekability in some cases
vf_vdpaupp: don't attempt to deinterlace progressive frames
2015-07-08 13:14:38 +00:00
- add vf yadif/vavpp/vdpaupp interlaced-only suboptions
Also, the option is enabled by default (Except vf_yadif, which has
it enabled only if it's inserted by the deinterlace property.)
vo_opengl_cb, vo_opengl: add option for preloading hwdec context See manpage additions. This is mainly useful for vo_opengl_cb, but can also be applied to vo_opengl. On a side note, gl_hwdec_load_api() should stop using a name string, and instead always use the IDs. This should be cleaned up another time.
2015-07-07 12:53:58 +00:00
- add --hwdec-preload
ao_coreaudio: add exclusive suboption
2015-07-03 17:21:22 +00:00
- add ao coreaudio exclusive suboption
DOCS: fix recent typos Pointed out by a certain wiiaboo.
2015-06-28 11:23:16 +00:00
- add ``track-list/N/forced`` property
audio: output human-readable channel layouts too This gets you the "logical" channel layout, instead of the exact thing we're sending to the AO. (Tired of the cryptic shit ALSA gives me.)
2015-06-25 17:10:24 +00:00
- add audio-params/channel-count and ``audio-params-out/channel-count props.
DOCS: document some recent interface additions
2015-06-24 12:40:03 +00:00
- add af volume replaygain-fallback suboption
- add video-params/stereo-in property
command: add keypress, keydown, and keyup commands. These commands are used to simulate keypresses using the key names from input.conf.
2015-06-10 23:56:56 +00:00
- add "keypress", "keydown", and "keyup" commands
audio: add --audio-spdif as new method for enabling passthrough This provides a new method for enabling spdif passthrough. The old method via --ad (--ad=spdif:ac3 etc.) is deprecated. The deprecated method will probably stop working at some point. This also supports PCM fallback. One caveat is that it will lose at least 1 audio packet in doing so. (I don't care enough to prevent this.) (This is named after the old S/PDIF connector, because it uses the same underlying technology as far as the higher level protoco is concerned. Also, the user should be renamed that passthrough is backwards.)
2015-06-05 20:35:43 +00:00
- deprecate --ad-spdif-dtshd and enabling passthrough via --ad
add --audio-spdif as replacement
command: remove deprecated get_property command This command has been deprecated in the 0.8.x and 0.9.x releases - get rid of it. Its only point ever was MPlayer compatibility, which broke years ago anyway.
2015-05-27 16:08:02 +00:00
- remove "get_property" command
options: remove --slave-broken It has been deprecated for ages.
2015-05-27 16:01:26 +00:00
- remove --slave-broken

command: change the hwdec properties Another very minor step towards property/option unification. Not bothering with interface compatibility here.
2015-05-25 19:44:48 +00:00
- completely change how the hwdec properties work:
- "hwdec" now reflects the --hwdec option

(and also, "detected-hwdec" is removed)
- "hwdec-active" is added
command: add protocol-list property Fixes #1972.
2015-05-23 13:26:55 +00:00
- add protocol-list property
command: deprecate audio-samplerate Also replace their implementation with the recently introduced properties. One significant difference is that audio-channels using OSD formatting does not print the channel layout. The user can just use the replacement property instead.

- deprecate audio-samplerate and audio-channels properties
(audio-params sub-properties are the replacement)

command: deprecate the "length" property It collides with the --length option.
2015-05-22 18:02:47 +00:00
- deprecate "length" property, replaced with "duration"
DOCS: add a changelog for option/command/property changes All these make up both user interface and API. It's a good idea to actually keep track of changes to it.
