This is similar to [no-]input-default-bindings, but affects only
builtin bindings (while input-default-bindings affects anything which
config files can override, like scripting mp.add_key_binding).
Arguably, this is what input-default-binding should have always done,
however, it does not.
The reason we add a new option rather than repurpose/modify the
existing option is that it behaves differently enough to raise
concerns that it will break some use cases for existing users:
- The new option is only applied once on startup, while
input-default-bindings can be modified effectively at runtime.
- They affects different sets of bindings, and it's possible that
the set of input-default-bindings is useful enough to keep.
Implementation-wise, both options are trivial, so keeping one or the
other or both doesn't affect code complexity.
It could be argued that it would be useful to make the new option
also effective for runtime changes, however, this opens a can of
worms of how the bindings are stored beyond the initial setup.
TL;DR: it's impossible to differentiate correctly at runtime between
builtin bindings, and those added with mp.add_key_bindings.
The gist is that technically mpv needs/uses two binding "classes":
- weak/builtin bindings - lower priority than config files.
- "user" bindings - config files and "forced" runtime bindings.
input-default-bindings affects the first class trivially, but
input-builtin-bindings would not be able split this class further
at runtime without meaningful changes to a lot of delicate code.
So a new option it is. It should be useful to some libmpv clients
(players) which want to disable mpv's builtin bindings without
breaking mp.add_key_bindings for scripts.
Fixes#8809
(again. the previous fix 8edfe70b only improved the docs, while
now we're actually making the requested behavior possible)
Unfortunately, this functionality in large part based on a struct
member that was made private in FFmpeg/FFmpeg@7489f63281
in May. Unfortunately, this was not noticed during review.
This reverts commit 0862664ac9.
This exposes whether a video track is detected as an image. This is
useful for profile conditions, property expansion and lavfi-complex, and
is more accurate than any detection even Lua scripts can perform, since
they can't differentiate between images and videos without container-fps
and audio and with duration 1 (which is the duration set by the mf
demuxer with the default --mf-fps=1).
The lavf demuxer image check is moved to where the number of frames is
available for comparison, and is modified to check the number of frames
and duration instead of the video codec. This doesn't misdetect videos
in a codec commonly used for images (e.g. mjpeg) as images, and can
detect images in a codec commonly used for videos (e.g. 1-frame gifs).
pix files are also now detected as images, while before they weren't
since the condition was checking if the AVInputFormat name ends with
_pipe, and alias_pix doesn't.
Both nb_frames and codec_info_nb_frames are checked because nb_frames is
0 for some video codecs (hevc, av1, vc1, mpeg1video, vp9 if forcing
--demuxer=lavf), and codec_info_nb_frames is 1 for others (mpeg, mpeg4,
wmv3).
The duration is checked as well because for some uncommon codecs and
containers found in FFMpeg's FATE suite, libavformat returns nb_frames =
0 and codec_info_nb_frames = 1. For some of them it even returns
duration = 0, so they are blacklisted in order to never be considered
images.
The extra codecs that would have to be blacklisted without checking the
duration are AV_CODEC_ID_4XM, AV_CODEC_ID_BINKVIDEO,
AV_CODEC_ID_DSICINVIDEO, AV_CODEC_ID_ESCAPE130, AV_CODEC_ID_MMVIDEO,
AV_CODEC_ID_NUV, AV_CODEC_ID_RL2, AV_CODEC_ID_SMACKVIDEO and
AV_CODEC_ID_XAN_WC3, while the containers are film-cpk, ivf and ogg.
The lower limit for duration is 10 because that's the duration of
1-frame gifs.
Streams with codec_info_nb_frames 0 are not considered images because
vp9 and av1 have nb_frames = 0 and codec_info_nb_frames = 0, and we
can't rely on just the duration to detect them because they could be
livestreams without an initial duration, and actually even if we could
for these codecs libavformat returns huge negative durations like
-9223372036854775808.
Some more images in the FATE suite that are really frames cut from a
video in an uncommon codec and container, like cine/bayer_gbrg8.cine,
could be detected by allowing codec_info_nb_frames = 0, but then any
present and future video codec with nb_frames = 0 and
codec_info_nb_frames = 0 would need to be added to the blacklist. Some
even have duration > 10, so to detect these images the duration check
would have to be removed, and all the previously mentioned extra codecs
and containers would have to be added added to the blacklists, which
means that images that use them (if they exist anywhere) will never be
detected. These FATE images aren't detected as such by mediainfo either
anyway, nor can a Lua script reliably detect them as images since they
have container-fps and duration > 0 and != 1, and you probably will
never see files like them anywhere else.
For attached pictures the lavf demuxer always set image to true, which
is necessary because they have duration > 10. There is a minor change in
behavior for which audio with attached pictures now has mf-fps as
container-fps instead of unavailable, but this makes it consistent with
external cover art, which was already being assigned mf-fps.
When the lavf demuxer fails, the mf one guesses if the file is an image
by its extension, so sh->image is set to true when the mf demuxer
succeds and there's only one file.
Even if you add a video's file type to --mf-type and open it with the mf
protocol, only the first frame is used, so setting image to true is
still accurate.
When converting an image to the extensions listed in demux/demux_mf.c,
tga and pam files are currently the only ones detected by the mf demuxer
rather than lavf. Actually they are detected with the image2 format, but
it is blacklisted; see d0fee0ac33.
The mkv demuxer just sets image to true for any attached picture.
The timeline demuxer just copies the value of image from source to
destination. This sets image to true for attached pictures, standalone
images and images added with !new_stream in EDL playlists, but it is
imperfect since you could concatenate multiple images in an EDL playlist
(which should be done with the mf demuxer anyway). This is good enough
anyway since the comment of the modified function already says it is
"Imperfect and arbitrary".
The window-scale property mirrors the respective option (not the
effective scale derived from the current window size), and as such
setting its value to the same value it had before has no effect.
Specifically - the window will not resize.
This is consistent as far as property-option bridge behavior goes,
but we do end up with an issue that we can't set an arbitrary scale
and expect the window to always resize accordingly.
We do also have a current-window-scale property which does reflect
the actual window size, however, it's been read-only till now.
This commit makes current-window-scale RW so that it's now always
possible to set an arbitrary scale and expect the window to resize
accordingly (without affecting window-scale - like manual resize).
Also, mention window-scale no-effect-if-not-changed at the docs.
Based on code by @Dudemanguy from commit 873ae0d, with same effect.
This reverts commit 873ae0de2a.
The next commit will restore this functionality, with the
following differences from the reverted commit:
- Smaller and simpler code change.
- On bad scale: use "Invalid value" (compared to "no such property").
- Doesn't combine the docs for window-scale and current-window-scale.
- Doesn't remove the docs for window-scale behavior prior to 0.31.0.
Somewhat confusingly, mpv has both a window-scale option and a
current-window-scale property. The documentation lists window-scale
under properties (and it is technically is one), but at its core it is
actually an option which means it behaves subtly different. Options in
mpv are runtime-configurable, but they only change anything if the value
of the option itself changes. window-scale is an option and not meant to
keep track of the actual scale of the window (intended behavior
introduced by d07b7f0). This causes window-scale to do nothing in
certain cases (ex: the window is manually resized and window-scale is
set to 1.00 again). This is logical and consistent with the behavior of
the rest of the mpv options, but it also makes it a poor candidate for
setting the mpv window scale dynamically.
As a remedy, we can just make current-window-scale writeable instead.
current-window-scale is intended to always report the actual scale of
the window and keep track of any window size changes made by the user.
By making this property also writeable, it allows the user to have more
intuitive behavior (i.e. setting current-window-scale to 1.00 always
sets the window to a scale of 1). Additionally, the default input.conf
is changed to use current-window-scale instead of window-scale. The
window-scale documentation under property list is removed since it is
already documented under options and users should probably set the
current-window-scale property instead in most cases.
This allows configuring which options are saved by quit-watch-later.
Fixes#4126, #4641 and #5567.
Toggling a video or audio filter twice would treat the option as changed
because the backup value is NULL, and the current value of vf/af is a
list with one empty item, so obj_settings_list_equal had to be changed.
Not only does this have semantics that make far more sense, it also has
a default that makes far more sense. (Equivalent to the old
`icc-contrast=inf`)
This removes the weird 1000:1 contrast default assumption which
especially broke perceptual profiles and also screws things up for
OLED/CRT/etc.
Should probably close some issues but I honestly can't be bothered to
figure out which of the thousands colorimetry-related issues are
affected.
currently we use the whole screen rectangle to calculate the window
geometry. this doesn't take the menu bar or the Dock into account.
by default use the visible screen rectangle instead. this is also a
change in behaviour, since the window can't be placed outside of this
rectangle anymore. also add an option to change to the old behaviour,
because it can still be useful in certain cases, like placing the window
directly underneath the menu bar when used a desktop background.
Fixes#8272
Simple groundwork for adding a couple of user options that allow
selecting the screen with a string name. The next two commits implements
these options for xorg and wayland.
This introduces the delete-watch-later-config command, to complement
write-watch-later-config. This is an alternative to #8141.
The general problem that this change is attempting to help solve has
been described in #336, #3169 and #6574. Though persistent playback
position of a single file is generally a solved problem, this is not
the case for playlists, as described in #8138.
The motivation is facilitating intermittent playback of very large
playlists, consisting of hundreds of entries each many hours
long. Though the current "watch later" mechanism works well - provided
that the files each occur only once in that playlist, and are played
only via that playlist - the biggest issue is that the position is
lost completely should mpv exit uncleanly (e.g. due to a power
failure). Existing workarounds (in the form of Lua scripts which call
write-watch-later-config periodically) fail in the playlist case, due
to the mechanism used by mpv to determine where within a playlist to
resume playback from.
The missing puzzle piece needed to allow scripts to implement a
complete solution to this problem is simply a way to clean up the
watch-later configuration that the script asked mpv to write using
write-watch-later-config. With that in place, scripts can then
register an end-file event listener, check the stop playback reason,
and in the "eof" and "stop" case, invoke delete-watch-later-config to
delete any saved positions written by write-watch-later-config. The
script can then proceed to immediately write a new one when the next
file is loaded, which altogether allows mpv to resume from the correct
playlist and file position upon next startup.
Because events are delivered and executed asynchronously,
delete-watch-later-config takes an optional filename argument, to
allow scripts to clear watch-later configuration for files after mpv
had already moved on from playing them and proceeded to another file.
A Lua script which makes use of this change can be found here:
https://gist.github.com/CyberShadow/2f71a97fb85ed42146f6d9f522bc34ef
(A modification of the one written by @Hakkin, in that this one takes
advantage of the new command, and also saves the state immediately
when a new file is loaded.)
Accepting ":" in addition to "," seems confusing and dumb. It only
causing problems when you want to pass a value that contains ":". Remove
support for ":", it is now treated like any other normal character. This
affects all options that are listed as "Key/value list" in the option
list.
It's possible that this breaks for someone who happened to use ":" as
separator. But this was undocumented, and never recommended. Originally,
the option treated many other characters in a special way, but this was
changed in commit a3d561f950. I'm, not sure why ":" was explicitly
included. Maybe because -the absurd -vf/--af syntax uses ":" as list
separator. But "," was always recommended and used in examples for
key/value options.
Fixes: #8021 (if you consider it a bug)
Make it possible to feed a string to stdin of a subprocess. Out of
laziness, it can't be an arbitrary byte string. (Would require adding an
option type that takes in a Lua byte string.)
Do not set stdin of a subprocess to fd 0 (i.e. mpv's stdin) anymore,
because it makes things more consistent. Enabling stdin didn't make too
much sense in the first place, so this behavior change seems
justifiable.
win32 support missing.
Fixes: #8003
This is taken from a somewhat older proof-of-concept script. The basic
idea, and most of the implementation, is still the same. The way the
profiles are actually defined changed.
I still feel bad about this being a Lua script, and running user
expressions as Lua code in a vaguely defined environment, but I guess as
far as balance of effort/maintenance/results goes, this is fine.
It's a bit bloated (the Lua scripting state is at least 150KB or so in
total), so in order to enable this by default, I decided it should
unload itself by default if no auto-profiles are used. (And currently,
it does not actually rescan the profile list if a new config file is
loaded some time later, so the script would do nothing anyway if no auto
profiles were defined.)
This still requires defining inverse profiles for "unapplying" a
profile. Also this is still somewhat racy. Both will probably be
alleviated to some degree in the future.
Remove the vaguely defined plane_bits and component_bits fields from
struct mp_imgfmt_desc. Add weird replacements for existing uses. Remove
the bytes[] field, replace uses with bpp[].
Fix some potential alignment issues in existing code. As a compromise,
split mp_image_pixel_ptr() into 2 functions, because I think it's a bad
idea to implicitly round, but for some callers being slightly less
strict is convenient.
This shouldn't really change anything. In fact, it's a 100% useless
change. I'm just cleaning up what I started almost 8 years ago (see
commit 00653a3eb0). With this I've decided to keep mp_imgfmt_desc,
just removing the weird parts, and keeping the saner parts.
This isn't useful anymore. We have a much better d3d11 renderer in
vo_gpu. D3D11 is available in all supported Windows versions. The
StretchRect path might still be useful for someone (???), and leaving it
at least evades conflict about users who want to keep using this VO for
inexplicable reasons. (Low power usage might be a justified reason, but
still, no.)
Also fuck the win32 platform, it's a heap of stinky shit. Microsoft is
some sort of psycho clown software company. Granted, maybe still better
than much of the rest of Silly Con Valley.
Some time ago, properties and options were mostly unified. However, the
track selection properties/options semantics are incompatible to this
change. I'm still trying to handle the fallout.
There are two things that are in the way:
1. Track properties somehow return the runtime selection, not the option
value (all while properties are supposed to be aliases to options
with the same name).
2. The user's track options are not supposed to be changed without
interaction. If a track is auto-selected, the property should return
its ID, but the option value should remain at "auto". Only if the
user actually writes to the property the option should change. E.g.
playing e.g. an audio-only file and then a normal video file not play
the video file with --vid=no just because the audio file had no video
track.
In addition to each of them being in conflict with the property/option
unification, attempt to fix one of them breaks the other one.
Today, we're trying to fix parts of this and avoiding an unfortunate
case where you can get a conflicting option/property value, and where
trying to select a track does nothing if the track to select has the
same ID as the option value.
This breaks 2. from above in certain situations. See manpage additions.
See: #7608
While --input-file was removed for justified reasons, wanting to pass
down socket FDs this way is legitimate, useful, and easy to implement.
One odd thing is that

Lua changed behavior for this specific event. I considered the change
minor enough that it would not need to go through deprecation, but
someone hit it immediately and ask on the -dev channel.
It's probably better to restore the behavior. But mark it as deprecated,
since it's problematic (mismatch with the C API). Unfortunately, no
automatic warning is possible. (Or maybe it is, by playing sophisticated
Lua tricks such as setting a metatable and overriding indexing, but
let's not.)
Both Lua and the JSON IPC code need to convert the mpv_event struct (and
everything it points to) to Lua tables or JSON.
I was getting sick of having to make the same changes to Lua and IPC. Do
what has been done everywhere else, and let the core handle this by
going through mpv_node (which is supposed to serve both Lua tables and
JSON, and potentially other scripting language backends). Expose it as
new libmpv API function.
The new API is still a bit "rough" and support for other event types
might be added in the future.
This silently adds support for the playlist_entry_id fields to both Lua
and JSON IPC.
There is a small API change for Lua; I don't think this matters, so I
didn't care about compatibility. The new code in client.c is mashed up
from the Lua and the IPC code. The manpage additions are moved from the
Lua docs, and made slightly more "general".
Some danger for unintended regressions both in Lua and IPC. Also damn
these node functions suck, expect crashes due to UB.
Not sure why this became more code instead of less compared to before
(according to the diff stat), even though some code duplication across
Lua and IPC was removed. Software development sucks.
Should give a good deal more explicit control and insight over the
player state.
Some feel a bit pointless, and/or expose internal weirdness. However,
it's not like the existing weirdness didn't exist before, or can be made
go away. (In part, the weirdness is because certain in-between states
are visible. Hiding them would make things simpler, but less flexible.)
Maybe this actually gives users a better idea how the API _should_ look
like, too.
On a side note, this tries to really guarantee that mpctx->playing is
set between playback start/end. For that, the loadfile.c changes assume
that mpctx->playing is set (guaranteed by code above the change), and
that playing->filename is set (probably could never be false; was broken
before and actually would have crashed if that could ever happen; in any
case, also add an assert to playlist.c for this).
playlist_entry_to_index() now tolerates playlist_entrys that are not
part of the playlist. This is also needed for mpctx->playing.
It's odd that this state is observable, but is made implicit by making
the property unavailable. It's also odd that an API user cannot directly
put the player into such a state.
Just allow reading/writing -1 (or in fact, any out of bounds index) for
this case.
I'm also refraining from using OPT_CHOICE for the "no selection" case,
because although that would be cleaner in theory, it would cause only
problems to API users due to the more complex property type (worse is
better).
One reason for not restricting the integer range on the input property
anymore is that if there are no playlist elements, the range would
contain only 1 integer, which cannot be represented anymore since the
recent m_option change. This was actually broken with 1 element
playlists before (and still is, with the constricted type for OSD and
the add/cycle commands). Doesn't matter too much.
Commits ba70b150fb and 8a4f812b76 should have mentioned this. These
things should be quite useful for client API users, and thus should be
mentioned in a prominent place.
Although I'm not sure if anyone will understand from this gibberish what
this really means.
This is not really a changelog, but rather a list of potentially
breaking changes API- and normal users should be aware of, and to help
with migration from older mpv releases.
The intention is to provide a slightly nicer way to distribute scripts.
For example, you could put multiple source files into the directory, and
then import them from the actual script file (this is still
unimplemented).
At first I wanted to require a config file (because you need to know at
least which scripting backend it should use). This wouldn't have been
too hard (could have reused/abused the mpv config file parsing
mechanism, and I already had working code that was just 2 function
calls). But probably better to do this without new config files, because
it might become a pain in the distant future.
So this just probes for "main.lua", "main.js", etc., until an existing
file is found.
Another important change is that this skips all directory entries whose
name starts with ".". This automatically excludes the "." and ".."
special directories, and is probably useful to exclude random crap that
might be lying around in the directory (such as editor temporary files,
or OSX, in its usual hrmful, annoying, and idiotic modus operandi,
sharting all over any directories opened by "Finder").
Although the changelog mentions the docs, they're added only in a later
commit.
Addresses dumb things like accidentally overwriting a media file with
e.g. "mpv --log-file test.mkv" (when the user thought that --log-file
was a flag option, when it actually takes a filename). This example will
now print an error. It still works with "-log-file overwritten.mkv", but
prints a warning.
Not sure if I'm being too careful or not "radical" enough. In any case,
both the syntax that stops working and the syntax that produces a
warning now have been discouraged and were called legacy for almost a
decade.
Apparently there are two different options for controlling which
screen an mpv window goes onto: --fs-screen and --screen. The former
explicitly only controls which screen a fullscreened window goes onto,
but does not appear to actually care about this option at runtime for
X11, so pressing f will always fullscreen to the screen mpv is currently
on. This means the option is of questionable usefulness for starters.
Making it worse, if you use --screen=1 --fs, mpv will actually fullscreen
on screen 0, because --fs-screen isn't set. Instead of doing that, fall
back to whatever --screen is set to.
Whenever I deal with this, I have to look at the code to make sense of
this. And beyond that, there are some strange inconsistencies. (I think
this code is cursed. It always was, and maybe always will be.)
Although the manpage claimed that using multiple items for -add etc. is
deprecated, string list options didn't warn against it. So add the
warning, and add something in the changelog (even though nobody will
ever read this).
The manpage mentioned --vf-append, but this didn't even exist. So add
it, I guess. We encourage using -append for the other option types, so
for consistency, it should work on filter options. (And I already
tricked me into believing it existed when I mentioned it in the
manpage.)
Make the "operations" table separate for all option types, and mention
the option type on every single of the top-level list options.
This is similar to the "edition" change.
I considered making this go through deprecation, but didn't have a good
idea how to do that. Maybe it's fine, because this is pretty obscure.
But it might break some API users/scripts (it certainly broke
stats.lua), and all I have to say is sorry for that.
See manpage/changelog changes.
The purpose of this change is to removes another case of inconsistent
property behavior. At first I wanted to make this go through deprecation
before making a technically incompatible change, but then I considered
this feature too obscure as that anyone would care.
the Apple Remote has long been deprecated and abandoned by Apple.
current macs don't come with support for it anymore. support might be
re-added with the next commit.
