Apparently broken files are popular enough that this is still needed.
It's relatively often asked on the IRC channel, and I also found it on
the archwiki mpv page.
The list of aspect ratios is taken from the archwiki page, with "16:10"
removed (because I doubt there are actually files with this aspect
ratio).
playlist-pos is 0-based, but everyone thinks it's 1-based. Stupid crap.
(The "not the same as MPlayer" refers to a playlist manipulation command
that doesn't exist anymore in mpv.)

This is for users who don't like changes. I'm hoping it will make the
process of cleaning up key bindings less bumpy.
It should be mentioned in the release notes of the next release.
It's just confusing; users are encouraged to edit input.conf instead
(changing the argument to the "add" command).
Update input.conf to keep the old behavior.
Apparently making ESC exit fullscreen mode is the more popular
convention compared to ESC quitting the program.
It was also concluded that ESC should do nothing when the windows is
already in normal state.
See discussion in #973.
"#" starts a comment, so the # key needs to be handled specially.
MPlayer has the same issue, but its input.conf is wrong. Or at least I
think it's wrong; looking at the MPlayer code it's doubtful they somehow
special-case and handle this.
Add the --cache-secs option, which literally overrides the value of
--demuxer-readahead-secs if the stream cache is active. The default
value is very high (10 seconds), which means it can act as network
cache.
Remove the old behavior of trying to pause once the byte cache runs
low. Instead, do something similar wit the demuxer cache. The nice
thing is that we can guess how many seconds of video it has cached,
and we can make better decisions. But for now, apply a relatively
naive heuristic: if the cache is below 0.5 secs, pause, and wait
until at least 2 secs are available.
Note that due to timestamp reordering, the estimated cached duration
of video might be inaccurate, depending on the file format. If the
file format has DTS, it's easy, otherwise the duration will seemingly
jump back and forth.
Some of them changed semantics or got renamed.
Note that the replacements in the example.conf are not necessarily the
equivalents of the replaced options.
Changing audio-delay is probably not needed.
Changing balance "works", but not as expected (sets up a pan matrix to
change left/right contributions to each other, rather than changing the
relative volumes of each channel).
I expect that the rest are not in use by anyone.
Instead of using a regex to match names to be exported from the libmpv
dynamic shared library, use a libmpv.def file, which lists all exported
functions explicitly.
This reduces the platform specifics in syms.py. I'm not sure if the
separate compile_sym task is still needed (it could probably be
collapsed, which would concentrate the platform specifics into one
place).
Nobody uses 'c' (except accidentally) - remove.
Everyone agrees that OSD level cycling on 'o' is dumb, so map it to
show_progress instead. Cycling the OSD level is now available on 'O'.
No reason to ummap 'P' yet.
Also see issue #973.
Convert all these commands to properties. (Except tv_last_channel, not
sure what to do with this.) Also, internally, don't access stream
details directly, but dispatch commands with stream ctrls.
Many of the new properties are a bit strange, because they're write-
only. Also remove some OSD output these commands produced, because I
couldn't be bothered to port these.
In general, this makes everything much cleaner, and will also make it
easier to e.g. move the demuxer to its own thread.
Don't bother updating input.conf, but changes.rst documents how old
commands map to the new ones.
Mostly untested, due to lack of hardware.
The window close button is usually mapped to the CLOSE_WIN pseudo-key.
Until now, --input-test treated this pseudo-key like any other key (like
the rest of the input handling code), so you couldn't close the window
in this mode. The manpage had silly instructions and warnings how to
deal with this.
Just always quit when CLOSE_WIN is received, and improve the
instructions.
This might be helpful if we ever want cascading config files. Also, we
will probably need it if we change the default input.conf bindings, and
want to provide compatibility input.conf files.
