Completely useless, and could accidentally be enabled by cycling
framedrop modes. Just get rid of it.
But still allow triggering the old code with --vd-lavc-framedrop, in
case someone asks for it. If nobody does, this new option will be
removed eventually.
Split the options into the following sections:
* Playback Control
* Program Behaviour
* Video
* Audio
* Subtitles
* Window
* Disc Devices
* Equalizer
* Demuxer
* Input
* OSD
* Screenshot
* Software Scaler
* Terminal
* TV
* Cache
* Network
* DVB
* PVR
* Miscellaneous
Most options are sorted by usefullness and how often they're used or how
important they are.
This makes finding the right options easier and adds some sort of structure.
Handle --term-playing-msg at a better place.
Move MPV_EVENT_TICK hack into a separate function. Also add some words
to the client API that you shouldn't use it. (But better leave breaking
it for later.)
Handle --frames and frame_step differently. Remove the mess from the
playloop, and do it after frame display. Give up on the weird semantics
for audio-only mode (they didn't make sense anyway), and adjust the
manpage accordingly.
Almost nothing was left of it.
The only thing this commit actually removes is support for reading
input commands from stdin. But you can emulate this via:
--input-file=/dev/stdin --input-terminal=no
However, this won't work on Windows. Just use a named pipe.
Useful for Windows stuff. Actually, ENCA support should catch this, but,
well, whatever, everyone seems to hate ENCA.
Detection with BOM is trivial, although it needs some hackery to
integrate it with the existing autodetection support. For one, change
the default value of --sub-codepage to make this easier.
Probably fixes issue #937 (the second part).
The MPlayer style syntax ("-mf fps=10:type=png") was removed a while
ago, and now only the flat variants ("--mf-fps=10" etc.) work.

This adds a thread to the demuxer which reads packets asynchronously.
It will do so until a configurable minimum packet queue size is
reached. (See options.rst additions.)
For now, the thread is disabled by default. There are some corner cases
that have to be fixed, such as fixing cache behavior with webradios.
Note that most interaction with the demuxer is still blocking, so if
e.g. network dies, the player will still freeze. But this change will
make it possible to remove most causes for freezing.
Most of the new code in demux.c actually consists of weird caches to
compensate for thread-safety issues (with the previously single-threaded
design), or to avoid blocking by having to wait on the demuxer thread.
Most of the changes in the player are due to the fact that we must not
access the source stream directly. the demuxer thread already accesses
it, and the stream stuff is not thread-safe.
For timeline stuff (like ordered chapters), we enable the thread for the
current segment only. We also clear its packet queue on seek, so that
the remaining (unconsumed) readahead buffer doesn't waste memory.
Keep in mind that insane subtitles (such as ASS typesetting muxed into
mkv files) will practically disable the readahead, because the total
queue size is considered when checking whether the minimum queue size
was reached.
These consult the vertical resolution, matching against 576 for
PAL and 480/486 for NTSC. The documentation has also been updated.

For remarks, pretty much see the manpage additions. Could help with
network streams that require too much seeking (maybe), or might be
extended to help with the use case of watching and downloading a file
at the same time.
In general, it might be a useless feature and could be removed again.
