Release 0.8.0
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
Changes
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Changes that may break users' config files have been annotated with a (!).
|
||||
|
||||
- (!) vo_opengl_old has been removed. OpenGL rendering now requires hardware
|
||||
that can do at least OpenGL 2.1, the oldest version supported by vo_opengl.
|
||||
- (!) vf_pp has been removed. A version of it can still be accessed through
|
||||
lavfilter (e.g. --vf=lavfi=[pp...]), but it receives no QP information.
|
||||
Also, vf_dlopen no longer passes QP information to its loaded plugin either
|
||||
(it's always 0).
|
||||
- (!) vf_pullup, vf_softpulldown, vf_swapuv, vf_phase, vf_divtc and vf_ilpack
|
||||
have all been removed. Ports or alternative versions of these filters are
|
||||
available through libavfilter (vf_lavfi).
|
||||
- (!) ao_portaudio has been removed. There is good support for the native
|
||||
audio drivers of all major desktop platforms, as well as ao_sdl and
|
||||
ao_openal as fallbacks.
|
||||
- (!) vo_opengl's `lscale` suboption has been renamed to `scale`; `lradius` is
|
||||
now `scale-radius`, `lparam1` and `lparam2` are now respectively
|
||||
`scale-param1` and `scale-param2`; `lscale-down` is now `scale-down`.
|
||||
The `cscale` suboption remains as is.
|
||||
- (!) Several of the `vo_opengl` radius-preset aliases supported by `scale`
|
||||
have been removed; use `scale-radius` to set if needed. For example, use
|
||||
`--vo=opengl:scale=lanczos:scale-radius=3` instead of `scale=lanczos3`.
|
||||
- (!) vo_opengl no longer supports the `stereo` suboption. The anaglyph effect
|
||||
can be reproduced with the stereo3d filter. The quadbuffer support, which
|
||||
requires expensive specialized hardware to begin with, is removed.
|
||||
- (!) The `approx-gama` suboption to vo_opengl has been removed. The BT.1886
|
||||
specification says that it's actually how it's supposed to be done so it
|
||||
is now the default.
|
||||
- (!) The `no-scale-sep` and `indirect` suboptions to vo_opengl have been
|
||||
removed. These are now autodetected and enabled whenever they would have
|
||||
benefit.
|
||||
- (!) The `--lua` and `--lua-opts` parameters / options are now called
|
||||
`--script` and `--script-opts`, respectively. The `lua` subdir of the mpv
|
||||
config dir is also now expected to be called `scripts` instead.
|
||||
- (!) The `--fixed-vo` option has been removed. It has been the default for
|
||||
a long time anyway, and disabling fixed-vo is not useful.
|
||||
- vo_opengl has improved downscaling for higher downscale ratios.
|
||||
- vo_opengl_hq has been updated to take into account new features.
|
||||
`fancy-downscaling` and `sigmoid-upscaling` are enabled,
|
||||
"mitchell" is now the default for `scale-down`, and `scale-down` can be
|
||||
disabled with `scale-down=""`.
|
||||
- The `sub-visibility` OSD message is now clearer about whether subtitles
|
||||
are hidden or just not available / selected.
|
||||
- The device IDs given to `--audio-device` for use with ao_coreaudio now use
|
||||
UIDs, so they don't change when devices are added/removed or after reboots.
|
||||
- `--msg-level` now also accepts ',' as separator.
|
||||
- (Win32) The embedded .exe description now names itself simply "mpv".
|
||||
- (Client API) The client API now refuses to initialize if the LC_NUMERIC
|
||||
locale is not "C".
|
||||
- (Client API) The native type of the `msg-level` parameter is now a key-value
|
||||
list. Setting or reading it as a string still works.
|
||||
- Documentation updates.
|
||||
- PDF documentation is now disabled by default due to rst2pdf being fickle,
|
||||
causing weird build errors.
|
||||
- Print desync messages with negative A/V sync as well. While rare, it could
|
||||
happen ith some uses of `--autosync`.
|
||||
|
||||
Bug fixes
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
- (Windows) Avoid resizing the video window when player is minimized, might
|
||||
address bug #1547.
|
||||
- (NetBSD) Fix build with v4l2.
|
||||
- Multiple cdda:// fixes. (bugs #1555, #1560)
|
||||
|
||||
New features
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
- vo_opengl now supports frame blending to eliminate stuttering when the video
|
||||
framerate does not nicely match the display framerate through the
|
||||
`smoothmotion` suboption. This is not meant to artificially increase the
|
||||
video's FPS, so there is no "soap opera effect" or difficulties with some
|
||||
video types (e.g. anime).
|
||||
- vo_opengl now supports sigmoidal upscaling (e.g. for fullscreen), which
|
||||
reduces ringing induced by upscaling, enabled through the `sigmoid-upscaling`
|
||||
suboption.
|
||||
- vo_opengl's ewa_lanczos scaler (Jinc) now supports an `scale-antiringing`
|
||||
parameter, which tries to reduce video ringing.
|
||||
- vo_opengl now has a `linear-scaling` suboption, that makes the scalers work
|
||||
in linear light. Implied by the `srgb`, `icc-profile` or the new
|
||||
`sigmoid-upscaling` suboption.
|
||||
- The Matroska demuxer now supports SVQ3 video.
|
||||
- Add `--keep-open=always` to make `--keep-open` apply to all files instead of
|
||||
only the last.
|
||||
- mpv now filters the tags that are printed on the console to try to hide
|
||||
useless metadata. The filter works as a whitelist, and can be configured with
|
||||
the `--display-tags` option.
|
||||
- Add a `--sub-scale-by-window` option that, when set to 'no', prevents
|
||||
subtitles from changing their pixel size when the window changes sizes.
|
||||
- vo_opengl now technically has GLES 2 and 3 support (but not GLES 1). GLES 3
|
||||
support is only tested on Mesa's software emulation. GLES 2 has been tested
|
||||
on nvidia drivers, but is feature deficient and inefficient due to GLES 2
|
||||
limitations.
|
||||
- (X11) vo_opengl now supports the `icc-profile-auto` option on X11 hosts.
|
||||
- The 'A' key now by default cycles through a list of preset aspect ratios.
|
||||
Meant to be used to work around broken files.
|
||||
- There is now a `--log-file` option to write mpv's log messages to a specifed
|
||||
file.
|
||||
- There is now a `--audio-file-auto` option to automatically load an external
|
||||
audio file with certain constraints. Will only load external audio if the
|
||||
playing file has a video stream. Set to "exact" by default. (bug #967)
|
||||
- VP9 timestamps are now supported with new enough FFmpeg builds.
|
||||
- There is now a `--network-timeout` option to specify a timeout in seconds for
|
||||
network access. If 0 (default), uses the libavformat default. If a protocol
|
||||
that doesn't support timeouts is used, this option is ignored.
|
||||
- (Linux) The DVB implementation now supports DVB-S2 through S2API.
|
||||
- (Client API) There is now an opengl_cb VO, which receives the OpenGL context
|
||||
from the libmpv client. This allows a client to render libmpv video directly
|
||||
to a provided OpenGL context without having to use hacks such as --wid.
|
||||
- (Client API) The aforementioned --wid hack can now be set at any time, but
|
||||
has no effect if a file is already loaded.
|
||||
- (Client API) The list of DVD titles can now be queried.
|
||||
- (Client API) There is now a `filtered-metadata` property, containing only
|
||||
the tags allowed by `--display-tags`.
|
||||
- (Client API) There is now support for XEmbed `--wid` targets, such as a
|
||||
`GtkSocket`'s `gtk_socket_get_id()`.
|
||||
- (Client API) There is now a `file-format` property with a symbolic name
|
||||
for the file format. In some cases this might be a comma separated list
|
||||
of various different extensions due to libavformat idiosyncrasies.
|
||||
- (Client API) There is now a `mouse` command for generating mouse events
|
||||
over the video window.
|
||||
- (Client API) There is now a `partially-seekable` property that indicates
|
||||
whether a file is only considered `seekable` because of the stream cache,
|
||||
but would not be seekable otherwise (e.g. realtime stream, or HTTP with
|
||||
no resume support). Small relative seeks may be fine, but larger seeks
|
||||
will likely fail.
|
||||
- (Client API) There is now an MPV_EVENT_QUEUE_OVERFLOW event that is posted
|
||||
whenever events have to be dropped because the queue is full. No further
|
||||
events are posted until the MPV_EVENT_QUEUE_OVERFLOW is consumed to avoid
|
||||
duplicated posting.
|
||||
- (Client API) There is now a helper `mpv_wait_async_requests()` function
|
||||
that blocks until all known async requests have completed. (bug #1542)
|
||||
- (Client API) There is now a `detected-hwdec` property that returns the
|
||||
detected hardware decoder when one is successfully opened. This probably
|
||||
only returns a valid value after playback has started.
|
||||
- (Client API) There are now `audio_add`, `audio_remove` and `audio_reload`
|
||||
counterparts to the equivalent `sub_` commands for handling external audio
|
||||
files.
|
||||
