|
||||
General Changes from MPlayer to mpv
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This listing is about changes introduced by mplayer2 and mpv relatively to
|
||||
MPlayer.
|
||||
|
||||
Internal changes
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* Switch to GPLv2+ (see ``Copyright`` file for details).
|
||||
* Removal of lots of cruft:
|
||||
|
||||
- Internal GUI (replaced by the OSC, see the `ON SCREEN CONTROLLER`_ section).
|
||||
- MEncoder (replaced by native encoding, see the `ENCODING`_ section).
|
||||
- OSD menu.
|
||||
- Kernel video drivers for Linux 2.4 (including VIDIX).
|
||||
- Teletext support.
|
||||
- Support for dead platforms.
|
||||
- Most built-in demuxers have been replaced by their libavformat counterparts.
|
||||
- Built-in network support has been replaced by libavformat's (which also
|
||||
supports https URLs).
|
||||
- Embedded copies of libraries (such as FFmpeg).
|
||||
|
||||
* General code cleanups (including refactoring or rewrites of many parts).
|
||||
* New build system.
|
||||
* Many bug fixes and removal of long-standing issues.
|
||||
* Generally preferring FFmpeg/Libav over internal demuxers and decoders.
|
||||
|
||||
Player
|
||||
~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* Switch to GPLv2+. (Technically speaking, MPlayer as a whole seems to be
|
||||
GPLv2-only, while mplayer2 is GPLv3+ - see ``Copyright`` file for details.)
|
||||
* Removal of the internal GUI, MEncoder, OSD menu, video kernel drivers for
|
||||
Linux 2.4 (including VIDIX)
|
||||
* Large internal cleanups
|
||||
* Removal of support for dead platforms
|
||||
* New build system
|
||||
* No embedded copy of FFmpeg and other libraries
|
||||
* Better pause handling (do not unpause on a command)
|
||||
* Better MKV support (such as ordered chapters)
|
||||
* vo_vdpau improvements
|
||||
* Precise seeking support
|
||||
* Native OpenGL backend for OS X
|
||||
* General OS X improvements
|
||||
* Improvements in audio/video sync handling
|
||||
* Cleaned up terminal output
|
||||
* Gapless audio support (``--gapless-audio``)
|
||||
* Improved responsiveness on user input
|
||||
* Support for modifier keys (alt, shift, ctrl) in input.conf
|
||||
* OSS4 volume control
|
||||
* More correct color reproduction (color matrix generation)
|
||||
* Use libass for subtitle rendering by default (better quality)
|
||||
* Generally preferring FFmpeg/Libav over internal demuxers and decoders
|
||||
* Improvements when playing multiple files (``--fixed-vo``)
|
||||
* Screenshot improvements (instant screenshots without 1-frame delay, allow
|
||||
taking screenshots even with hardware decoding)
|
||||
* Improved support for PulseAudio
|
||||
* Generally improved MS Windows support (dealing with Unicode file names,
|
||||
improved ``--vo=direct3d``, improved window handling)
|
||||
* Better OSD rendering (using libass). This has full Unicode support, and
|
||||
languages like Arabic should be better supported.
|
||||
* Cleaned up terminal output (nicer status line, less useless noise)
|
||||
* Support for playing URLs of popular streaming sites directly
|
||||
(e.g. ``mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...``)
|
||||
* Improved OpenGL output (``--vo=opengl-hq``)
|
||||
* Make ``--softvol`` default (**mpv** is not a mixer control panel)
|
||||
* Improved support for .cue files
|
||||
* Screenshot improvements (can save screenshots as JPEG or PNG, configurable
|
||||
file names, support for taking screenshots with or without subtitles - the
|
||||
``screenshot`` video filter is not needed anymore, and should not be put
|
||||
into the mpv config file)
|
||||
* Removal of teletext support
|
||||
* Removal of most built-in demuxers, using libavformat instead
|
||||
* Removal of built-in network support, using libavformat instead (also,
|
||||
support https via libavformat)
|
||||
* Replace image VOs (``--vo=jpeg`` etc.) with ``--vo=image``
|
||||
* Do not lose settings when playing a new file in the same player instance
|
||||
* New location for config files, new name for the binary.
|
||||
* Slave mode compatibility broken (see below)
|
||||
* Encoding functionality (replacement for MEncoder, see ``DOCS/encoding.rst``)
|
||||
* Remove ``--vo=gif89a``, ``--vo=md5sum``, ``--vo=yuv4mpeg``, as encoding can
|
||||
handle these use cases. For yuv4mpeg, for example, use:
|
||||
``mpv input.mkv -o output.y4m --no-audio --oautofps --oneverdrop``.
|
||||
* Image subtitles (DVDs etc.) are rendered in color and use more correct
|
||||
positioning (color can be disabled with ``--sub-gray``)
|
||||
* Wayland support
|
||||
* Support for precise scrolling which scales the parameter of commands. If the
|
||||
input doesn't support precise scrolling the scale factor stays 1.
|
||||
* OS X: Cocoa event loop is independent from MPlayer's event loop, so user
|
||||
actions like accessing menus and live resizing do not block the playback.
|
||||
* OS X: Apple Remote support.
|
||||
* OS X: Media Keys support.
|
||||
* Windows: Added WASAPI audio output.
|
||||
* New OSD bar with chapter marks and not positioned in the middle of the video
|
||||
(though this can be customized with the ``--osd-bar-align-y`` option).
|
||||
* Allow customizing whether a key binding for seeking shows the video time, the
|
||||
OSD bar, or nothing (see section `Input Command Prefixes`_).
|
||||
* Display list of chapters and audio/subtitle tracks on OSD (see section
|
||||
`Properties`_).
|
||||
* Encoding functionality (replacement for MEncoder, see the `ENCODING`_ section).
|
||||
* Support for Lua scripting (see the `LUA SCRIPTING`_ section).
|
||||
* Better pause handling (e.g. do not unpause on a command).
|
||||
* Precise seeking support.
|
||||
* Improvements in audio/video sync handling.
|
||||
* Do not lose settings when playing a new file in the same player instance.
|
||||
* Slave mode compatibility broken (see below).
|
||||
* Re-enable screensaver while the player is paused.
|
||||
* A client API, that allows embedding **mpv** into applications
|
||||
(see ``libmpv/client.h`` in the sources).
|
||||
* Allow resuming playback at a later point with ``Shift+q``, also see the
|
||||
``quit_watch_later`` input command.
|
||||
* ``--keep-open`` option to stop the player from closing the window and
|
||||
exiting after playback ends.
|
||||
* Re-enable screensaver while the player is paused.
|
||||
* Matroska edition switching at runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
Input
|
||||
~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved responsiveness on user input.
|
||||
* Support for modifier keys (alt, shift, ctrl) in input.conf.
|
||||
* Allow customizing whether a key binding for seeking shows the video time, the
|
||||
OSD bar, or nothing (see the `Input Command Prefixes`_ section).
|
||||
* Support mapping multiple commands to one key.
|
||||
|
||||
Audio
|
||||
~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for gapless audio (see the ``--gapless-audio`` option).
|
||||
* Support for OSS4 volume control.
|
||||
* Improved support for PulseAudio.
|
||||
* Make ``--softvol`` default (**mpv** is not a mixer control panel).
|
||||
* Improved downmixing and output of surround audio:
|
||||
|
||||
- Instead of using hardcoded pan filters to do remixing, libavresample is used
|
||||
- Channel maps are used to identify the channel layout, so e.g. ``3.0`` and
|
||||
``2.1`` audio can be distinguished.
|
||||
|
||||
Video
|
||||
~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* Wayland support.
|
||||
* Native support for VAAPI.
|
||||
* Improved OpenGL output (see the ``opengl-hq`` video output).
|
||||
* Improved VDPAU video output.
|
||||
* Make hardware decoding work with the ``opengl`` video output.
|
||||
* Support for libavfilter (for video->video and audio->audio). This allows
|
||||
using most of FFmpeg's filters, which improve greatly on the old MPlayer
|
||||
filters in features, performance, and correctness.
|
||||
* Improved downmixing and output of surround audio. Instead of using hardcoded
|
||||
pan filters to do remixing, use libavresample. Channel maps are used to
|
||||
identify the channel layout, so e.g. ``3.0`` and ``2.1`` audio can be

|
||||
* Removal of ``--vo=gif89a``, ``--vo=md5sum``, ``--vo=yuv4mpeg``, as encoding
|
||||
can handle these use cases. For yuv4mpeg, for example, use::
|
||||
|
||||
mpv input.mkv -o output.y4m --no-audio --oautofps --oneverdrop
|
||||
|
||||
* Image subtitles (DVDs etc.) are rendered in color and use more correct
