Update msg.c state immediately if a terminal or logging setting is set.
Until now, this was delayed until mp[v]_initialize() was called. When
using the client API, you could easily miss logged error messages, even
when logging was initialized early on by calling
mpv_request_log_messages().
(Properties can't be used for this either, because properties do not
work before mpv_initialize().)
Thanks to rcombs, ffmpeg now properly supports DASH and we can
remove our hacks for it and use it by default whenever
available. If you don't like this for whatever reason, you
can get the "normal" streams back with --ytdl-format=best .

Useless. Sometimes it might be useful to make some extremely broken
files work, but on the other hand --no-correct-pts is sufficient for
these cases.
While we still need some of the code for AVI, the "auto" mode in
particular inflated the size of the code.
The manpage entry explains this.
(Maybe this option could be always enabled and removed. I don't quite
remember what valid use-cases there are for just disabling audio
entirely, other than that this is also needed for audio decoder init
failure.)
The vf_format suboption is replaced with --video-output-levels (a global
option and property). In particular, the parameter is removed from
mp_image_params. The mechanism is moved to the "video equalizer", which
also handles common video output customization like brightness and
contrast controls.
The new code is slightly cleaner, and the top-level option is slightly
more user-friendly than as vf_format sub-option.
VideoToolbox is preferred. Now that FFmpeg released 2.8, there's no
reason to support VDA anymore. In fact, we had a bug that made VDA not
useable with older FFmpeg versions in some newer mpv releases.
VideoToolbox is supported even on slightly older OSX versions, and if
not, you still can run mpv without hw decoding.
The "PWD" enviornment variable is described by POSIX. We don't go to
length to verify its contents, but just trust it.
This affects the logic for resuming playback.
This was completely broken. It was checked manually in some config
loading paths, so it appeared to work. But the intention was always to
completely disable reading from the normal config dir. This logic was
broken in commit 2263f37d.
The manual checks are actually redundant, and are not needed if
--no-config is implemented properly - remove them.
Additionally, the change to load the libmpv defaults from an embedded
profile also failed to set "config=no". The option is marked as not
being settable by a config file, and the libmpv default profile is
parsed as a config file, so this option was rejected. Fix it by removing
the CONF_NOCFG flag. (Alternatively, m_config_set_profile() could be
changed not to set the "config file" flag by default, but I'm not
bothering with this.)
If this mode is enabled, the player tries to strictly synchronize video
to display refresh. It will adjust playback speed to match the display,
so if you play 23.976 fps video on a 24 Hz screen, playback speed is
increased by approximately 1/1000. Audio wll be resampled to keep up
with playback.
This is different from the default sync mode, which will sync video to
audio, with the consequence that video might skip or repeat a frame once
in a while to make video keep up with audio.
This is still unpolished. There are some major problems as well; in
particular, mkv VFR files won't work well. The reason is that Matroska
is terrible and rounds timestamps to milliseconds. This makes it rather
hard to guess the framerate of a section of video that is playing. We
could probably fix this by just accepting jittery timestamps (instead
of explicitly disabling the sync code in this case), but I'm not ready
to accept such a solution yet.
Another issue is that we are extremely reliant on OS video and audio
APIs working in an expected manner, which of course is not too often
the case. Consequently, the new sync mode is a bit fragile.
Since we're on the topic of consistency, I've seen multiple users
complain about the presence of this period, which does not really match
other programs' behavior.
Add --demuxer-max-packets and --demuxer-max-bytes, which control the
maximum size of the packet queue. These can be helpful to avoid
excessive memory usage.
Memory usage is the reason why there's a limit in the first place. If a
file is more or less broken, and audio and video don't line up, the
decoders will fill up the packet queue trying to read more audio or
video, and the maximum sizes are required to avoid unbounded memory
allocation. Being able to override the maximum sizes is useful; either
for restricting memory usage further, or enlarging the sizes when
attempting to play various broken files.
Remove --demuxer-readahead-packets and --demuxer-readahead-bytes. These
were a bit useless. They could force a minimum packet queue size, but
controlling the queue size with --demuxer-readahead-secs is much nicer.
It's fairly certain nobody ever used these options.
VDA is being deprecated in OS X 10.11 so this is needed to keep hwdec working.
The code needs libavcodec support which was added recently (to FFmpeg git,
libav doesn't support it).

Allow setting an arbitrary amount, instead of the fixed 50%.
This is nto striclty backwards compatible. The defaults don't change,
but the --cache/--cache-default options now set the readahead portion.
So in practice, users who configured this until now will see the
double amount of cache being used, _plus_ the 75MB default backbuffer
will be in use.
Probably makes users happy who want bitmap subtitles to show up in the
screen margins, and stops them from doing idiotic crap with vf_expand.
Fixes#2098.
Until now, if a stream wasn't seekable, but the stream cache was enabled
(--cache), we've enabled seeking anyway. The idea was that at least
short seeks would typically fall within the cache. And if not, the user
was out of luck and terrible things happened. In other words, it was
unreliable.
Be stricter about it and remove this behavior. Effectively, this will
for example disable seeking in piped data.
Instead of trying to be clever, add an --force-seekable option, which
will always enable seeking if the user really wants it.
See manpage additions. This is mainly useful for vo_opengl_cb, but can
also be applied to vo_opengl.
On a side note, gl_hwdec_load_api() should stop using a name string, and
instead always use the IDs. This should be cleaned up another time.
Now there's a "canonical" table for mapping the names, that other code
can use, without having to rely too much on option code magic.
Also, use the central HWDEC constants, instead of magic values. (There
used to be semi-ok reasons to do this, but now it makes no sense
anymore.)
This flags stuff tried to be too clever - if there are overlapping flags
(e.g. exclusive or combined flags), the one matching with most bits has
to be chosen.
This fixes logging of the seek command. E.g. "relative" and "absolute"
overlap to make them exclusive, but "relative" was always printed as it
happened to match first.
This provides a new method for enabling spdif passthrough. The old
method via --ad (--ad=spdif:ac3 etc.) is deprecated. The deprecated
method will probably stop working at some point.
This also supports PCM fallback. One caveat is that it will lose at
least 1 audio packet in doing so. (I don't care enough to prevent this.)
(This is named after the old S/PDIF connector, because it uses the same
underlying technology as far as the higher level protoco is concerned.
Also, the user should be renamed that passthrough is backwards.)
This brings the volume control closer to what is percepted as linear
volume change.
Adjust the --softvol-max default to roughly the old maximum (roughly
doubles the gain).
Now --volume takes an absolute volume, meaning it doesn't depend on
--softvol-max. 0 is still silence, and 100 now always means unchanged
volume. The OSD and the "volume" property are changed accordingly.
Also raise the minimum value of --softvol-max. A value below 100 makes
no sense and breaks the OSD.
Adding a "yes" choice makes the option parser consider this option as a
multi-state flag option, and without argument "yes" is implicitly
selected. "yes" is made an alias for "inf", so it will loop infinitely.
As a negative side effect, the old syntax "-loop inf" does not work
anymore. Since this is ambiguous, the option parser prefers interpreting
the "inf" as filename.
Fixes#1970.
mp_find_config_file() will print the filename lookup and its result in
verbose mode. This is wanted, but gets inconvenient when it is done for
every playlist entry (for resuming).
Lookup the watch_later subdir only once and cache the result instead.
This drops the logic for loading the resume file from other locations,
which should generally be unnecessary, though might lead to confusion if
the user has mixed old and new config paths (which the user shouldn't).
Also add a mp_find_user_config_file() function for a more
straightforward and reliable way to get actual local configpaths,
instead of possibly global and unwritable locations.
Also, for symmetry, check the resume option in mp_load_playback_resume()
just like mp_check_playlist_resume() does.
Share most of the implementation of config file lookup between
mp_find_all_config_files() and mp_find_config_file().
Also move the check for config path overrides to mp_get_platform_path()
directly. From the point of view of config file lookup, this is a bit
stupid, but on the other hand increases consistency, as user path
resolution exposes the mp_get_platform_path() functionality directly to
the user.
This creates the window before the first file is loaded. This was
requested a bunch of times, but on the other hand a change to make this
behavior the default was reverted some time ago, because other users
hated it.
Since commit 7381db60, strings like "~desktop/" were expanded as
platform-specific paths by mpv. Apparently this similarity to standard
Unix shell expansion caused confusion, so change it to "~~desktop/". The
shell doesn't expand this, so it should be better.
