A vague idea to get something similar what libquvi did.
Undocumented because it might change a lot, or even be removed. To give
an idea what it does, a Lua script could do the following:
-- type ID priority
mp.commandv("hook_add", "on_load", 0, 0)
mp.register_script_message("hook_run", function(param, param2)
-- param is "0", the user-chosen ID from the hook_add command
-- param2 is the magic value that has to be passed to finish
-- the hook
mp.resume_all()
-- do something, maybe set options that are reset on end:
mp.set_property("file-local-options/name", "value")
-- or change the URL that's being opened:
local url = mp.get_property("stream-open-filename")
mp.set_property("stream-open-filename", url .. ".png")
-- let the player (or the next script) continue
mp.commandv("hook_ack", param2)
end)
Refine the ugly hack from the previous commit, and let the "quit"
command and some others abort playback immediately. For
playlist_next/playlist_prev, still use the old hack, because we can't
know if they would stop playback or not.
This means they get special handling for asynchronously aborting
playback, even if the player is "stuck".
Also document "stop". It seems somewhat useful for client API users
(although that will be implemented properly only in the following
commits.)
Not sure why this was originally added as autorepeated. It makes no
sense, because switching between choices should never autorepeat. (For
the normal "add"/"cycle" commands, autorepeat is usually enabled, but
command.c tries to disable it specifically for choice properties.)
"loadfile filename append-play" will now always append the file to the
playlist, and if nothing is playing yet, start playback. I don't want to
change the semantics of "append" mode, so a new mode is needed.
Probably fixes issue #950.
Convert all these commands to properties. (Except tv_last_channel, not
sure what to do with this.) Also, internally, don't access stream
details directly, but dispatch commands with stream ctrls.
Many of the new properties are a bit strange, because they're write-
only. Also remove some OSD output these commands produced, because I
couldn't be bothered to port these.
In general, this makes everything much cleaner, and will also make it
easier to e.g. move the demuxer to its own thread.
Don't bother updating input.conf, but changes.rst documents how old
commands map to the new ones.
Mostly untested, due to lack of hardware.
Binding multiple commands at once where always considered not
repeatable, because the MP_CMD_COMMAND_LIST wasn't considered
repeatable.
Fixes#807 (probably).
The quit command has an optional argument that is used as exit code.
Extend that to the quit_watch_later command. Actually, unify the
implementations of the two commands.
Requested in #798.
This can happen when the input stream is somehow blocking on network,
and the user still send input in one way or another, and one of the
commands is a compound command ("cmd a ; cmd b").
Change script_message to broadcast the message to all clients. Add a new
script_message_to command, which does what the old script_message
command did.
This is intended as simplification, although it might lead to chaos too.
This was broken by commit bb6b543812. Note that the original pull
request was fine, but it was broken by my own stupidity when I was
"improving" it.
The problem is that the new loadfile argument was not considered
optional anymore after my changes. The original pull request did handle
this by setting .defval to a dummy value, but I removed that part.
Fix it again by introducing a flag that designates that the parameter is
optional. (I didn't want to add it to m_option.h, because technically,
all options are optional, and it's not possible to have non-optional
options.)
MP_CMD_COMMAND_LIST commands (used to implement key bindings with
multiple commands) were not checked for abort commands. Implement it.
Remove the remarks about multi-commands being special from the manpage.
Seek coalescing is handled differently now, and the issue with abort
commands is fixed with this commit.
