Client API users can enable log output with mpv_request_log_messages().
But you can enable only a single log level. This is normally enough, but
the --msg-level option (which controls the terminal log level) provides
more flexibility. Due to internal complexity, it would be hard to
provide the same flexibility for each client API handle. But there's a
simple way to achieve basically the same thing: add an option that sends
log messages to the API handle, which would also be printed to the
terminal as by --msg-level.
The only change is that we don't disable this logic if the terminal is
disabled. Instead we check for this before the message is output, which
in theory can lower performance if messages are being spammed. It could
be handled with some more effort, but the gain would be negligible.
So successful playback and user quit can be distinguished, for whatever
reason you may want to do this.
Normally, the "quit" command can be customized, but this does not work
for quit commands sent by the terminal signal handler. One solution
would be introducing something like "ON_SIGNAL" (equivalent to
"CLOSE_WIN"), but considering there are a bunch of possible signals, I'd
rather not get into this. So go with the dumb solution.
Probably fixes#2029.
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.)
The "osd" command cycles between 4 states (OSD level 0-3), which is
probably confusing and inconvenient. OSD levels 0 and 2 are rarely
needed. I would claim there is normally not much of a need to completely
disable OSD by setting level 0 during playback. Level 2 is just slightly
less information than level 3, and I'm not sure why it exists at all.
Change it so that it toggles between level 3 and 1. Note that this
ignores the default OSD level. If the default is 3, the first use of
this key will set it to 3 again. Just assume 1 is the default. If
someone complains, this could be improved.
It polluted the global namespace, instead of exporting the function
properly.
For now, keep it compatible by explicitly keeping the bogus export.
Also fix a mistake in the manpage example.
This command has been deprecated in the 0.8.x and 0.9.x releases - get
rid of it. Its only point ever was MPlayer compatibility, which broke
years ago anyway.
They're completely orthogonal concepts, merged in the past due to
convenience and ease of implementing it in the old #ifdef hell renderer.
Especially after the CMS stuff was generalized by 634b4a, this was a
trivial change to implement and also means color management will be much
higher quality when enabled with vo=opengl (which had quantization
issues in the past due to the 8 bit FBO format and upscaling), since it
can be done in a single pass now.
Wnile it seems quite logical to me that commands use _ as word
separator, while properties use -, I can't really explain the
difference, and it tends to confuse users as well. So always
prefer - as separator for everything.
Using _ still works, and will probably forever. Not doing so would
probably create too much chaos and confusion.
Also replace their implementation with the recently introduced
properties. One significant difference is that audio-channels using OSD
formatting does not print the channel layout. The user can just use the
replacement property instead.
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.
