Rename the -ss option to -start, and -endpos to -length. Add a -end
option. The -end option always specifies an absolute end time, as
opposed to -endpos/-length.
All these options (--start, --end, --length) now accept relative times.
Percent positions (e.g. "--start=30%") are interpreted as fractions of
the file duration. Negative times (e.g. "--start=-1:00) are interpreted
relative to the end of the file. Chapters (e.g. "--start=#3") yield the
chapter's time position.
The chapter support might be able to replace --chapter completely, but
for now I am not sure how well this works out with e.g. DVDs and BDs,
and a separate --chapter option is useful interface-wise.
Using --no-msgcolor, error messages that happened before "really"
parsing the command line were still printed in color. Add the
CONF_PRE_PARSE flag to make this option take effect as early as
possible.
The -zoom option enabled scaling with vo_x11. Remove the -zoom option,
and make its behavior default. Since vo_x11 has to use libswscale for
colorspace conversion anyway, which doesn't do actual extra scaling when
vo_x11 is run in windowed mode, there should be no speed difference with
this change.
The code removed from vf_scale attempted to scale the video to d_width/
d_height, which matters for anamorphic video and the --xy option only.
vo_x11 can handle these natively. The only case for which the removed
vf_scale code could matter is encoding with vo_lavc, but since that
didn't set VOFLAG_SWSCALE, nothing actually changes.
It's silly to print a warning if an optional config file is missing.
Don't print anything at the default message level if an input config
is not found.
Unfortunately, the behavior is the same for explicitly passed input
config files (with --input=conf=file.conf).
Using --loop=inf on an unseekable file would put mpv (and all other
mplayers as well) into an endless loop, trying to seek to the start of
the file on each playback loop iteration. When the seek fails, playback
simply remains in the at-end-of-file state, and tries to issue a new
seek command for looping.
Fix by checking if the seek command fails, and abort looping in this
case. For that, queue_seek() is replaced with seek(). Due to the
circumstances, these two calls happen to be equal in this case: the
seek is absolute (i.e. no seek coalescing done), and the execution of
queued seeks is right after the loop code anyway.
In this example, only f1.mkv was looped: mpv f1.mkv f2.mkv --loop=2
This is because the playloop actually changes the global option value,
assuming it would be reset when going to the next file. When mpv was
changed to not reset options between files, this assumption was broken.
Normally, we always want to enable encoding, as it uses stock ffmpeg
APIs and has no other dependencies or disadvantages.
However, supporting older releases of ffmpeg and Libav (which equal to
outdated git snapshots fix security and crash fixes applied) force us
to disable some advanced ffmpeg API usage, which includes encoding.
This removes the rather complicated configure and Makefile parts
related to auto-detecting available languages for manpages and locales.
We don't have non-English manpages or any locales, so this is
pointless. It didn't even work: configure --language=all created an
invalid config.mak that would cause "make install" to fail.
Remove installation of locales. There are no translations at all which
could be installed. Should there ever be someone who is interested in
adding translations, this can be added back in a simpler way.
Rename the --enable-translation configure option to --enable-gettext.
This is what this option really does: enable gettext() use. This may
be interesting for people who want to experiment with localizing mpv,
but is entirely useless for normal use.
Remove detection of the binary codecs directory in configure.
Put MP_EXPAND_ARGS() in compiler.h, even though it's not compiler
dependent. Both mp_talloc.h and mp_common.h need it, while mp_common.h
includes mp_talloc.h. This is the least annoying solution.
Finish renaming directories and moving files. Adjust all include
statements to make the previous commit compile.
The two commits are separate, because git is bad at tracking renames
and content changes at the same time.
Also take this as an opportunity to remove the separation between
"common" and "mplayer" sources in the Makefile. ("common" used to be
shared between mplayer and mencoder.)
Tis drops the silly lib prefixes, and attempts to organize the tree in
a more logical way. Make the top-level directory less cluttered as
well.
Renames the following directories:
libaf -> audio/filter
libao2 -> audio/out
libvo -> video/out
libmpdemux -> demux
Split libmpcodecs:
vf* -> video/filter
vd*, dec_video.* -> video/decode
mp_image*, img_format*, ... -> video/
ad*, dec_audio.* -> audio/decode
libaf/format.* is moved to audio/ - this is similar to how mp_image.*
is located in video/.
Move most top-level .c/.h files to core. (talloc.c/.h is left on top-
level, because it's external.) Park some of the more annoying files
in compat/. Some of these are relicts from the time mplayer used
ffmpeg internals.
sub/ is not split, because it's too much of a mess (subtitle code is
mixed with OSD display and rendering).
Maybe the organization of core is not ideal: it mixes playback core
(like mplayer.c) and utility helpers (like bstr.c/h). Should the need
arise, the playback core will be moved somewhere else, while core
contains all helper and common code.
