This means a commands like "seek 13:00 absolute" actually behaves like
"--start=13:00", instead of interpreting the argument as fraction as
with normal float options. This is probably slightly closer to what
you'd expect.
As a consequence, the seek argument's type changes from float to double
internally.
Apparently the intention was parsing numbers reliably in presence of
non-C locales. mpv is always in C locale, and not being in C locale
would probably break even more things, so remove this code.
The backend sub-option for vo_opengl and vo_opengl-old accepted numeric
values (like -1, 0, ...) for compatibility with MPlayer. This was added
in mplayer2 times, and is not important anymore.
You can just use --wid=0 if you really want this.
This only worked/works for X11, and even then it might interact badly
with most desktop environments. All the option did was setting --wid to
0, and the property did nothing.
And support the PIX_FMT_MONOWHITE pixel format. (This is really weird:
unlike PIX_FMT_MONOBLACK, it uses white pixels. I have no idea why
libavcodec doesn't just convert the pixel format on the fly, instead of
bothering everyone with really special pixel formats.)
Recent changes to the OSD code made vo_caca crash when showing OSD.
Since this is a joke VO (== I'd rather not waste my time with it),
remove the OSD support. It wasn't that great anyway.
"End of file" was printed to the terminal instead of "Quit" when exiting
with the "quit" slave command (closing the window and such). Note that
it will still print EOF when it exists because the end of the playlist
is reached.
Do some other (not strictly related) simplifications.
This fixes the issue that black borders (e.g. on fullscreen) are not
redrawn, even if OSD rendering changes these areas.
In theory, the code could try some clever things to determine whether
clearing the window is really necessary, but that's probably not worth
the trouble and won't bring any significant performance gain, or might
even make things slower (because the GPU can't discard the old
contents).
Also fix redrawing when changing panscan with OSD disabled.
Use the option parser instead of sscanf. Remove the parameter changing
the field dominance (it has been marked deprecated for ages). Add a new
suboption "enabled", which can be used to disable the filter by default,
until it's enabled at runtime:
mpv -vf yadif=enabled=no
Was very complicated to use, and its uses have been removed in the
previous commits.
(While this feature sounded kind of useful, it could be rewritten in
a much simpler way, like storing presets as strings, and then using
the option parser to apply a preset. The removed code did some major
pointer juggling to handle raw values, which made it hard to use.)
For all suboptions, "flat" options were available by separating the
parent option and the sub option with ":", e.g. "--rawvideo:w=123". Drop
this syntax and use "-" as separator. This means even suboptions are
available as normal options now, e.g. "--rawvideo-w=123". The old syntax
doesn't work anymore.
Note that this is completely separate from actual suboptions. For
example, "-rawvideo w=123:h=123" still works. (Not that this syntax is
worth supporting, but it's needed anyway, for for other things like vf
and vo suboptions.)
As a consequence of this change, we also have to add new "no-" prefixed
options for flag suboptions, so that "--no-input-default-bindings"
works. ("--input-no-default-bindings" also works as a consequence of
allowing "-input no-default-bindings" - they are handled by the same
underlying option.)
For --input, always use the full syntax in the manpage. There exist
suboptions other than --input (like --tv, --rawvideo, etc.), but since
they might be handled differently in the future, don't touch these yet.
M_OPT_PREFIXED becomes the default, so remove it. As a minor unrelated
cleanup, get rid of M_OPT_MERGE too and use the OPT_SUBSTRUCT() macro in
some places.
Unrelated: remove the duplicated --tv:buffersize option, fix a typo in
changes.rst.
`--fs-screen` allows to decide what display to go fullscreen into. The
semantics of `--screen` changed and now it is only used to select the windowed
display when starting the application.
This is useful for people using mpv with an external TV. They will start
windowed on their laptop's screen and switch to fullscreen on the TV.
@wm4 worked on the x11 and w32 parts of the code. All is squashed in one
commit for history clarity.
Also some other cosmetic changes. And reformat the two remaining doxygen
comments.
Removing MSGLEN in x11_errorhandler() is technically not just a cosmetic
change, but the result is the same anyway.
The string is deallocated by the callee after initialization, so
fallback at runtime passes a deallocated string to libavcodec, which
results in random crashes. Regression introduced by commit 4d016a9.
Being able to insert newline characters ("\n") is useful for
--osd-status-msg, and possibly also for anything that prints to the
terminal. Espcially --term-osd-esc looks relatively useless without
being able to specify escapes.
Maybe parsing escapes should happen during command line / config parsing
instead (for all options).
This was supposed to be fixed in f897138, but there's another corner
case. Basically, set_osd_function() reset the OSD time, which is not
nice at all and breaks the logic of letting OSD elements disappear when
they're not wanted anymore. Fix this by adding a separate timer for
this.
Additionally, make sure the OSD bar is _really_ always updated when
visible. Also, redraw the OSD only if the OSD bar actually changes to
prevent redrawing too often (every vo_osd_changed() will flag that the
OSD should be redrawn, even if nothing changes).
Increase robustness against out of bound chapter numbers. Normally
these functions expect that the callers sanitize the chapter number.
This went wrong at least in add_seek_osd_messages() (which displayed
a chapter "-1" when chapters were not available). Make these functions
a bit friendler and add some reasonable checks and fallbacks, which
fixes the mentioned chapter seeking case as well.
Fixes#29. When a user used dead input keys (like the accent key), `mpv`
crashed because the code tried to access the 0 element of a characters array
(which was empty).
While I was closing this bug, I refactored some related conditionals to
make the code more readable.
Seeking before the start of a .flac file (such as seeking backwards when
the file just started) generates a bunch of decoding errors and audible
artifacts. Also, the audio output doesn't match the reported playback
position. The errors printed to the terminal are:
[flac @ 0x8aca1c0]invalid sync code
[flac @ 0x8aca1c0]invalid frame header
[flac @ 0x8aca1c0]decode_frame() failed
This is most likely a problem with the libavformat API. When seeking
with av_seek_frame() fails, the demuxer can be left in an inconsistent
state. ffplay has the same issue [1].
Older versions of mpv somehow handled this fine. Bisection shows that
commit b3fb7c2 caused this regression by removing code that retried
failed seeks with an inverted AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWARD flag. This code was
removed because it made it harder to stop playback of a file by seeking
past the end of the file (expecting this is rather natural when skipping
through multiple files by seeking, and the internal mplayer demuxers
also did this).
As a workaround, re-add the original code, but only for the backwards
seeking case.
Also note that the original intention of the code removed in b3fb7c2 was
not dealing with this case, but something else. It also had to do with
working around weird libavformat situations, though. It's not perfectly
clear what exactly. See commit 1ad332f.

Printed "error parsing option profile-desc=..." when using that inside
of profile sections. This happened because we now check the presence of
an option before setting it, and profile-desc is not an option, but
special cased in the config parser.
This affects the "show_progress" command, by defualt on the 'P' key.
If there are complaints, I'll probably remove it again. (It looks
relatively annoying, but it also valueable information... sort of.)
Until now, setting a property that is not available (e.g. deinterlacing
if not using vdpau and no deinterlacing filter is inserted) silently
failed (except for a messager on the terminal). Instead show on the OSD
that the property is unavailable.
Seeks can be performed with OSD bar invisible (e.g. "osd-msg seek ..."
command), and then an already visible bar won't be updated. But the bar
will stick around until the OSD text is hidden. This is confusing, so
change it that the bar is updated. (Making the bar disappear on such
seeks would require much more changes, so we're lazy and go with this
commit.)
Commit 4a40eed "options: change handling of "no-" options" generally
improved the handling of automatically added negation options
(recognizing "--no-opt", even though only "--opt" is declared in the
option list).
Unfortunately, one corner case was missed, which broke the option
"--input=no-default-bindings" (other suboptions, e.g. VO suboptions,
were not affected, and this is the only option where this mattered).
Instead of increasing the complexity further, use a completely different
approach: add the "--no-" options at runtime, and make them behave like
real options. This approach could be considered slightly less elegant,
because the code now has to worry about some option implementation
details rather than leaving it to the parser, but all in all the new
code is simpler and there are less weird corner cases to worry about.
Apparently this cuases trouble for legacy demuxers. demux_mpg stopped
doing PCM audio. (The problem was probably that it read a bunch of
video packets on detection, and then the sparse video hack prevented
audio packets from being read, because it looked like there were no
more audio packets. With sparse video, this normally helps not reading
too many audio packets.)
Since the legacy demuxers do not need this hack, enable it for
demux_lavf and demux_mkv only.
Some additional hacks that were needed to handle legacy demuxers can be
removed, making the code simpler.
Also see commit 4a40eed.
There should be no functional changes, except that way how avoiding
spamming the terminal with the overflow warning is handled changes a
bit.
The removed check for ds->eof looks suspicious, but it should be
redundant now.
