In the past it happened quite often that flag options (yes/no) were
changed to choice options (yes/no/some more). The problem with this was
that while flag options don't need a parameter, this wasn't the case
with choice options. A hack was introduced to compensate for this:
setting M_OPT_OPTIONAL_PARAM on the option, and an empty string ("") was
added as choice, so that the choice could be used like a flag. So, for
example, "--mute" would set the choice "".
Fix this by 1. not requiring a parameter if there's a "yes" choice, and
2. redirect an empty parameter to "yes". The effect is that a choice
option with the choices ["yes", "no"] is pretty much equivalent to a
flag option.
This inserts an automatic conversion filter if a Matroska file is marked
as 3D (StereoMode element). The basic idea is similar to video rotation
and colorspace handling: the 3D mode is added as a property to the video
params. Depending on this property, a video filter can be inserted.
As of this commit, extending mp_image_params is actually completely
unnecessary - but the idea is that it will make it easier to integrate
with VOs supporting stereo 3D mogrification. Although vo_opengl does
support some stereo rendering, it didn't support the mode my sample file
used, so I'll leave that part for later.
Not that most mappings from Matroska mode to vf_stereo3d mode are
probably wrong, and some are missing.
Assuming that Matroska modes, and vf_stereo3d in modes, and out modes
are all the same might be an oversimplification - we'll see.
See issue #1045.
bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
The "classic" sub-option stuff is not really needed anymore. The only
remaining use can be emulated in a simpler way. But note that this
breaks the --screenshot option (instead of the "flat" options like
--screenshot-...). This was undocumented and discouraged, so it
shouldn't affect anyone.
This means use of the min/max fields can be dropped for the flag option
type, which makes some things slightly easier. I'm also not sure if the
client API handled the case of flag not being 0 or 1 correctly, and this
change gets rid of this concern.
--sub-file is actually a string list, so you can add multipel external
subtitle files. But to be able to set a list, the option value was split
on ",". This made it impossible to add filenames.
One possible solution would be adding escaping. That's probably a good
idea (and some other options already do this), but it's also complicated
both to implement and for the user.
The simpler solution is making --sub-file appending, and make it take
only a single entry.
I'm not quite sure about this yet. It breaks the invariant that if a
value is printed and parsed, you get the same value back. So for now,
just go with the simple solution.
Fixes#840.
m_option is basically the mechanism to handle C data types in a dynamic
way. Add functions to convert values to and from mpv_node. For example,
string lists are turned into mpv_node using MPV_FORMAT_NODE_ARRAY, and
so on.
M_OPT_PARSE_ESCAPES was pretty stupid, and broke the (useful) assumption
that string variables contain exactly the same value as set by the
option. Simplify it, and move escape handling to the place where it's
used.
Escape handling itself is not terribly useful, but still allows useful
things like multiline custom OSD with "\n".
Always pass around mp_log contexts in the option parser code. This of
course affects all users of this API as well.
In stream.c, pass a mp_null_log, because we can't do it properly yet.
This will be fixed later.
Basically, reimplement --msglevel. Instead of making the new msg code
use the legacy code, make the legacy code use the reimplemented
functionality.
The handling of the deprecated --identify switch changes. It temporarily
stops working; this will be fixed in later commits.
The actual sub-options syntax (like --msglevel-vo=...) goes away, but I
bet nobody knew about this or used this anyway.
Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
