currently only supported on x11.
one practical use-case of this is wanting to embed something (such as
dmenu) into the mpv window to use as a menu/selection. there might be
other use-cases as well (e.g doing some shenanigans with `xdotool` or
whatnot).
it's currently possible to:
* listen for 'current-window-scale' change (to check if the
window has been created or not)
* call an external tool like `xdo` or `xdotool` and grab the xid
from mpv's pid.
however it adds unnecessary dependency on external tools when mpv is
fully capable of easily providing this information.

The legacy DRM API adds some complexity to the DRM code. There
are only 4 drivers that do not support the DRM Atomic API:
1. radeon (early GCN amd cards)
2. gma500 (ancient intel GPUs)
3. ast (ASPEED SoCs)
4. nouveau
Going forward, new DRM drivers will be guaranteed to support the atomic
API so this is a safe removal.
The content-type protocol allows mpv to send compositor a hint about the
type of content being displayed on its surface so it could potentially
make some sort of optimization. Fundamentally, this is pretty simple but
since this requires a very new wayland-protocols version (1.27), we have
to mess with the build to add a new define and add a bunch of if's in
here. The protocol itself exposes 4 different types of content: none,
photo, video, and game.
To do that, let's add a new option (wayland-content-type) that lets
users control what hint to send to the compossitor. Since the previous
commit adds a VOCTRL that notifies us about the content being displayed,
we can also add an auto value to this option. As you'd expect, the
compositor hint would be set to photo if mpv's core detects an image,
video for other things, and it is set to none for the special case of
forcing a window when there is not a video track. For completion's sake,
game is also allowed as a value for this option, but in practice there
shouldn't be a reason to use that.
mpv has an internal optimization on a couple of platforms where it will
not render any frames if the window is minimized or hidden. There's at
least once possible use case for wanting to force a render anyway
(screensharing with pipeware) so let's just add a simple switch for
this that always forces mpv to render. Closes#10846.
This is a very simple but easy way of doing it. Ideally, it would be
nice if we could also add some sort of introspection about shader
parameters at runtime, ideally exposing the entire list of parameters as
a custom property dict. But that is a lot of effort for dubious gain.
It's worth noting that, as currently implemented, re-setting
`glsl-shader-opts` to a new value doesn't reset back previously mutated
values to their defaults.
Deduplicate history like the fish shell. So for example
entering "cmd 1" then "cmd 2" then "cmd 3" then "cmd 1"
would result in a history of
[cmd 2][cmd 3][cmd 1]
instead of
[cmd 1][cmd 2][cmd 3][cmd 1]
Adds a function `history_add` to replace directly adding to history.
Adds an option `history_dedup` to activate the deduplication.
Defaults to on.
vo_dmabuf_wayland has its own ra and context so it can handle all the
different hwdec correctly. Unfortunately, this API was pretty clearly
designed with vo_gpu/vo_gpu_next in mind and has a lot of concepts that
don't make sense for vo_dmabuf_wayland. We still want to bolt on a
ra_ctx, but instead let's rework the ra_ctx logic a little bit. First,
this introduces a hidden bool within the ra_ctx_fns that is used to hide
the wldmabuf context from users as an option (unlike the other usual
contexts). We also want to make sure that hidden contexts wouldn't be
autoprobed in the usual ra_ctx_create, so we be sure to skip those in
that function. Additionally, let's create a new ra_ctx_create_by_name
function which does exactly what says. It specifically selects a context
based on a passed string. This function has no probing or option logic
is simplified just for what vo_dmabuf_wayland needs. The api/context
validations functions are modified just a little bit to make sure hidden
contexts are skipped and the documentation is updated to remove this
entries. Fixes#10793.
Wayland VO that can display images from either vaapi or drm hwdec
The PR adds the following changes:
1. a context_wldmabuf context with no gl dependencies
2. no-op ra_wldmabuf and dmabuf_interop_wldmabuf objects
no-op because there is no need to map/unmap the drmprime buffer,
and there is no need to manage any textures.
Tested on both x86_64 and rk3399 AArch64
Pushing E (aka Shift+e) cycles through Editions for containers
that support editions, such as Matroska, although this feature was not
documented before this commit.
We've had some annoying names for interops, which we can't simply
rename because that would break config files and command lines. So we
need to put a little more effort in and add a concept of legacy names
that allow us to continue loading them, but with a warning.
The two I'm renaming here are:
* vaapi-egl -> vaapi (vaapi works with Vulkan too)
* drmprime-drm -> drmprime-overlay (actually describes what it does)
* cuda-nvdec -> cuda (cuda interop is not nvdec specific)
This has had no effect since libplacebo v4.192.0, and was deprecated
upstream a year ago. No deprecation period in mpv is justified by this
being a debug / work-around option.
Removed the outdated information about environmental brightness
with respect to --gamma-factor, and mention that the option is
deprecated and subject to future removal. Also deprecated the
--gamma-auto option as it relies on the same outdated way of doing
things.
In wayland-protocols 1.25, xdg-shell got a version bump which added the
configure_bounds event. The compositor can send this to clients to
indicate that they should not resize past a certain size. For mpv, we'll
choose to only listen to this on reconfig events (i.e. when the window
first appears and if the video resolution changes later in the
playlist). However, this behavior is still exposed as a user option
(default on) because it will neccesarily conflict with a user setting a
specific geometry size and/or window scale. Presumably, if someone is
setting a really large size that goes beyond the bounds of their
monitor, they actually want it like that. The wayland-protocols version
is newer-ish, but we can get around having to poke the build system by
just using a define that exists in the generated xdg-shell header.
In the confusing landscape of hardware video decoding APIs, we have had
a long standing support gap for the v4l2 based APIs implemented for the
various SoCs from Rockship, Amlogic, Allwinner, etc. While VAAPI is the
defacto default for desktop GPUs, the developers who work on these SoCs
(who are not the vendors!) have preferred to implement kernel APIs
rather than maintain a userspace driver as VAAPI would require.
While there are two v4l2 APIs (m2m and requests), and multiple forks of
ffmpeg where support for those APIs languishes without reaching
upstream, we can at least say that these APIs export frames as DRMPrime
dmabufs, and that they use the ffmpeg drm hwcontext.
With those two constants, it is possible for us to write a
hwdec-interop without worrying about the mess underneath - for the most
part.
Accordingly, this change implements a hwdec-interop for any decoder
that produces frames as DRMPrime dmabufs. The bulk of the heavy
lifting is done by the dmabuf interop code we already had from
supporting vaapi, and which I refactored for reusability in a previous
set of changes.
When we combine that with the fact that we can't probe for supported
formats, the new code in this change is pretty simple.
This change also includes the hwcontext_fns that are required for us to
be able to configure the hwcontext used by `hwdec=drm-copy`. This is
technically unrelated, but it seemed a good time to fill this gap.
From a testing perspective, I have directly tested on a RockPRO64,
while others have tested with different flavours of Rockchip and on
Amlogic, providing m2m coverage.
I have some other SoCs that I need to spin up to test with, but I don't
expect big surprises, and when we inevitably need to account for new
special cases down the line, we can do so - we won't be able to support
every possible configuration blindly.
Whether or not the GNOME project has a tendency to make life
difficult for anyone outside their ecosystem, the user manual is
no place for childish rants such as this.
Keep it to what is relevant for users.
Generally, the hard-coded sizes used for the OSC elements are
comfortable regardless of the font used, but the timecode fields have
relatively many characters, and so are affected to a greater degree by
fonts with a wider or narrower average character width than expected.
This allow users to adjust the space reserved for the timecode fields to
compensate.
Previously if the raw command_native_async returned an error then the
callback function was run directly. This meant that script writers
potentially had to account for both synchronous and asynchronous logic
in the callback, which can happen even with seemingly 'safe' commands
if the mpv event queue is full.
This was at odds with the Javascript implementation of
the function, which always runs the callback asynchronously.
Now the mp.add_timeout function is used to run the callback
asynchronously on error, replicating the Javascript implementation.
This provides consistency for developers in how the callback is handled
in Lua, and increases consistency between the Lua and Javascript APIs.
With the recent addition of the libxpresent, it should improve frame
timings for most users. However, there were known cases of bad behavior
(Nvidia) which lead to a construction of a whitelist instead of just
enabling this all the time. Since there's no way to predict whatever
combination of hardware/drivers/etc. may work correctly, just give users
an option to switch the usage of xorg's presentation statistics on/off.
The default value, auto, works like before (basically, Mesa drivers and
no Nvidia are allowed), but now one can force it on/off if needed.
The `absolute` value was incorrectly labelled as the default instead of
the value named `default`, which was somewhat confusing. When the newer
default option was added in 679e410 it seems like wm4 forgot to remove
the label in the manual on the previous default.
This is mainly for other user scripts that may conflict with the osc
logo in some way. Although it is possible to listen for
shared-script-properties, this has many edge cases that could easily pop
up. A user could want other OSC things to happen at the same time (say
osc-message). They just don't want the logo. The idlescreen option
disables all idlescreen related things (including the santa hat) if it
is set to "no". A new script message (osc-idlescreen) is also added so
users can easily toggle the value (passing "cycle" or just explictly
setting "yes" or "no"). Some more discussion on this is found in the
below github issues.

This driver makes use of dmabuffer and viewporter interfaces
to enable efficient display of vaapi surfaces, avoiding
any unnecessary colour space conversion, and avoiding scaling
or colour conversion using GPU shader resources.
Add Jpeg XL as a possible output format for screenshots, which
should make it possible to take fast screenshots with much better
quality than JPEG, or take lossless high-bit-depth screenshots
with lower file sizes than PNG.
- Say built-in which is more common than builtin
- Move "By default" because only the key to open the console is
customizable, and fix the punctuation and case of the sentence
- ` opens the console, not ´
- Remove the sentences that explains which user script console.lua is
based on since it's no longer relevant now that the console has been
part of mpv for over 2 years.
Now that a separate --cover-art-whitelist option exists, files like
cover.jpg are loaded even without setting --cover-art-auto to fuzzy, so
only load files that have exactly the media filename by default, since
fuzzy loading is probably more likely to load unwanted images than to
load cover art that the user intended to display, especially if you play
audio files with a short filename like a.mp3.
