Use codec names instead of FourCCs to identify codecs. Rewrite how
codecs are selected and initialized. Now each decoder exports a list
of decoders (and the codec it supports) via add_decoders(). The order
matters, and the first decoder for a given decoder is preferred over
the other decoders. E.g. all ad_mpg123 decoders are preferred over
ad_lavc, because it comes first in the mpcodecs_ad_drivers array.
Likewise, decoders within ad_lavc that are enumerated first by
libavcodec (using av_codec_next()) are preferred. (This is actually
critical to select h264 software decoding by default instead of vdpau.
libavcodec and ffmpeg/avconv use the same method to select decoders by
default, so we hope this is sane.)
The codec names follow libavcodec's codec names as defined by
AVCodecDescriptor.name (see libavcodec/codec_desc.c). Some decoders
have names different from the canonical codec name. The AVCodecDescriptor
API is relatively new, so we need a compatibility layer for older
libavcodec versions for codec names that are referenced internally,
and which are different from the decoder name. (Add a configure check
for that, because checking versions is getting way too messy.)
demux/codec_tags.c is generated from the former codecs.conf (minus
"special" decoders like vdpau, and excluding the mappings that are the
same as the mappings libavformat's exported RIFF tables). It contains
all the mappings from FourCCs to codec name. This is needed for
demux_mkv, demux_mpg, demux_avi and demux_asf. demux_lavf will set the
codec as determined by libavformat, while the other demuxers have to do
this on their own, using the mp_set_audio/video_codec_from_tag()
functions. Note that the sh_audio/video->format members don't uniquely
identify the codec anymore, and sh->codec takes over this role.
Replace the --ac/--vc/--afm/--vfm with new --vd/--ad options, which
provide cover the functionality of the removed switched.
Note: there's no CODECS_FLAG_FLIP flag anymore. This means some obscure
container/video combinations (e.g. the sample Film_200_zygo_pro.mov)
are played flipped. ffplay/avplay doesn't handle this properly either,
so we don't care and blame ffmeg/libav instead.
This removes the rather complicated configure and Makefile parts
related to auto-detecting available languages for manpages and locales.
We don't have non-English manpages or any locales, so this is
pointless. It didn't even work: configure --language=all created an
invalid config.mak that would cause "make install" to fail.
Remove installation of locales. There are no translations at all which
could be installed. Should there ever be someone who is interested in
adding translations, this can be added back in a simpler way.
Rename the --enable-translation configure option to --enable-gettext.
This is what this option really does: enable gettext() use. This may
be interesting for people who want to experiment with localizing mpv,
but is entirely useless for normal use.
Remove detection of the binary codecs directory in configure.
Finish renaming directories and moving files. Adjust all include
statements to make the previous commit compile.
The two commits are separate, because git is bad at tracking renames
and content changes at the same time.
Also take this as an opportunity to remove the separation between
"common" and "mplayer" sources in the Makefile. ("common" used to be
shared between mplayer and mencoder.)
Add a make task and python script to create a Mac OS X Application Bundle
to be used when compiling with the --enable-macosx-finder and
--enable-macosx-bundle configure flags.
The main svg icon was created by me and heavily inspired by Apple's iTunes
and AppStore icon designs. We are still looking for something better.
For the audio, movie and subtitles icons I added the main logo to MPlayer OSX
Extended icons.
Use with `make osxbundle` after running configure and make.
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.)
About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the
hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged
back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the
new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very
slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was
scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work.
Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the
old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful
for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch,
while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage,
was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the
documentation in the same commit as the code.
Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to
be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development
branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2
master branch after revision 159102e0cb.
Committers:
* Clément Bœsch <ubitux@gmail.com> (Initial conversion to RST.)
* Uoti Urpala <uau@mplayer2.org> (Many updates.)
* Myself (Minor edits.)
Most text of the manpage has been directly taken from the old manpage,
because this is a conversion, not a complete rewrite.

This was a horrible little tool to detect the host CPU at build time.
Forgotten in commit 74df1d8e05.
Also remove forgotten codec-cfg entry in .gitignore .
The internal array of default key bindings is removed. Include the
file etc/input.conf at compile time (using the file2header tool), and
parse the default binds from etc/input.conf at startup time.
This lowers maintainance overhead, and makes sure the default bindings
and etc/input.conf don't deviate. Commit f30bf73bf2 already
made sure etc/input.conf matches the default bindings, so this commit
shouldn't change anything user-visible.
Conflicts:
.gitignore
bstr.c
cfg-mplayer.h
defaultopts.c
libvo/video_out.c
The conflict in bstr.c is due to uau adding a bstr_getline function in
commit 2ba8b91a97. This function already existed in this branch.
While uau's function is obviously derived from mine, it's incompatible.
His function preserves line breaks, while mine strips them. Add a
bstr_strip_linebreaks function, fix all other uses of bstr_getline, and
pick uau's implementation.
In .gitignore, change vo_gl3_shaders.h to use an absolute path
additional to resolving the merge conflict.
The player can read codec mapping (codecs.conf) from an external file
or use embedded defaults. Before, the defaults were stored in the
player binary in the form of final already-parsed data structures.
Simplify things by storing the text of the codecs.conf file instead,
and parse that at runtime the same way an external file would be
parsed.
To create the previous parsed form, the build system first compiled a
separate binary named "codec-cfg", which parsed etc/codecs.conf and
then wrote the results as a C data structure that could be compiled
into the program. The new simple conversion of codecs.conf into a C
string is handled by the new script TOOLS/file2string.py.
After removing the codec-cfg binary, HOST_CC is no longer used for
anything. Remove the --host-cc configure option and associated logic.
Also remove the codec2html and codec-cfg-test functionality. Building
those was already broken and nobody cared.
There was a broken 3-character-long "fourcc" entry in etc/codecs.conf.
This happened to be accepted before but triggered a parse error after
the changes. Remove the broken entry and make the parsing functions
explicitly test for this error.
Some files used during build are generated with Python scripts in
TOOLS/. Before, the generated files were included in the git tree.
Start creating them at build time. This introduces a build-dependency
on python3.
The files in question are:
libvo/vdpau_template.c
libmpdemux/ebml_types.h
libmpdemux/ebml_defs.c
This new vo is heavily based on vo_gl.c. It provides better scale
filters, dithering, and optional color management with LittleCMS2.
It requires OpenGL 3.
Many features are enabled by default, so it will be slower than vo_gl.
However, it can be tuned to behave almost as vo_gl.
Instead of separate checkouts of the FFmpeg libavutil/, libavcodec/,
libavformat/, libpostproc/ subdirectories make MPlayer build with a
complete checkout of FFmpeg under ffmpeg/.
configure now creates config.mak and config.h at both the top level
and in ffmpeg/. The config.h files are identical. The config.mak for
FFmpeg has different include paths. The top-level common.mak and
subdir.mak are now used by libswscale only; the directories under
ffmpeg/ use the versions in ffmpeg/.
