This is an unfortunate fact of life. Maybe making this the default
wasn't such a good idea after all.
Also update etc/example.conf. It used an obsolete alias for "auto".
Add the --cache-secs option, which literally overrides the value of
--demuxer-readahead-secs if the stream cache is active. The default
value is very high (10 seconds), which means it can act as network
cache.
Remove the old behavior of trying to pause once the byte cache runs
low. Instead, do something similar wit the demuxer cache. The nice
thing is that we can guess how many seconds of video it has cached,
and we can make better decisions. But for now, apply a relatively
naive heuristic: if the cache is below 0.5 secs, pause, and wait
until at least 2 secs are available.
Note that due to timestamp reordering, the estimated cached duration
of video might be inaccurate, depending on the file format. If the
file format has DTS, it's easy, otherwise the duration will seemingly
jump back and forth.
Some of them changed semantics or got renamed.
Note that the replacements in the example.conf are not necessarily the
equivalents of the replaced options.
Remove options which are too obscure and most likely not very useful in
general, or update them to something more modern. Add some comments
about how configuration files work in general.
Change how the HW decoding stuff is organized, the way it's initialized
in particular. Instead of duplicating the list of supported codecs for
hwaccel decoders, add a probe function which allows each decoder to
report whether it supports a given codec.
Add an "auto" choice to the --hwdec option, which automatically enables
hardware decoding if libavcodec and/or the VO supports it.
What mpv prints on the terminal changes a bit. Now it will just print
a single line whether hw decoding is used or not (and nothing at all if
no hw decoding at all was requested). The pretty violent fallback from
hw decoding to software decoding is still quite verbose and evil-looking
though.
--autofit=WxH sets the window size to a maximum width and/or height,
without changing the window's aspect ratio.
--autofit-larger=WxH does the same, but only if the video size is
actually larger than the window size that would result when using
the --autofit=WxH option with the same arguments.
Deprecate the hardware specific video codec entries (like ffh264vdpau).
Replace them with the --hwdec switch, which requests that a specific
hardware decoding API should be used. The codecs.conf entries will be
removed at a later time, but for now they are useful for testing and
compatibility.
Instead of --vc=ffh264vdpau, --hwdec=vdpau should be used.
Add a fallback if hardware decoding fails. Most hardware decoders
(including vdpau) support only a subset of h264, and having such a
fallback is supposed to enable a better user experience.
This changes the name of this project to mpv. Most user-visible mentions
of "MPlayer" and "mplayer" are changed to "mpv". The binary name and the
default config file location are changed as well.
The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/
Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI,
which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago.
We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require
one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is.
Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts. These contained outdated
dependencies and likely were more harmful than useful. (Patches which
add working and well-tested packaging are welcome.)
Remove VESA and FBDEV specific code that was forgotten when the
respective VOs were removed. Remove references to old or broken
stuff from example.conf.
Also move the profiles to the bottom of the example configuration file
as the original remarks in the file suggested.
