Usable for uniquely identifying mpv instances from
subprocesses, controlling mpv with AppleScript, ...
Adds a new mp_getpid() wrapper for cross-platform reasons.
This commit introduces mp.utils.file_info() for querying information
on file paths, implemented for both Lua and Javascript.
The function takes a file path as an argument and returns a Lua table /
JS object upon success. The table/object will contain the values:
mode, size, atime, mtime, ctime and the convenience booleans is_file, is_dir.
On error, the Lua side will return `nil, error` and the Javascript side
will return `undefined` (and mark the last error).
This feature utilizes the already existing cross-platform `mp_stat()`
function.
Also implicitly fixes memory leak when mp.set_property_native was used,
because the cleanup did not expect more allocations from the accidental
use of mpv_get_property.
Implements JS with almost identical API to the Lua support.
Key differences from Lua:
- The global mp, mp.msg and mp.utils are always available.
- Instead of returning x, error, return x and expose mp.last_error().
- Timers are JS standard set/clear Timeout/Interval.
- Supports CommonJS modules/require.
- Added at mp.utils: getenv, read_file, write_file and few more.
- Global print and dump (expand objects) functions.
- mp.options currently not supported.
