mpv only supports UTF-8 for configuration files. Other ASCII-compatible
encodings may "work" to some limited extent, but strings likely won't
as many places assume that all internal strings are UTF-8.
The naming for "blur-compat" was misleading since the setting
actually affects more than just blur affects. Additionally
forwarding storage resolution but forcing an aspect ratio
of 1.0 for the video is likely to result in odd rendering
and there’s no known usecase for it.
Both options control which video properties are exposed to libass
so to fix the aforementioned issues merge these settings into one
tri-state sub-ass-use-video-data.
The default V keybind now cycles through all states of
use-video-data instead of toggling vsfilter-aspect-compat.

Limit list entries to 100. obj_settings_list is not designed to hold
more items, and it quickly starts taking ages to add all items. 100 is
more than enough.
Fixes 30s timeout on OSS-Fuzz and generally fixes possible DoS on mpv.
This adds script messages to select playlist entries, tracks, chapters,
subtitle lines, bindings and properties using the newly introduced
mp.input.select().
This fully closes#13964.
This option type is not used only by filter options: they're already
used by --ao, --vo, and --gpu-context. Replace the mentions of
"filter" to "item" instead, and changes some languages to improve clarity.
Also change the documentation on "Filter options" to describe what it
really is, and fix a typo.
In many places, flags options have duplicate descriptions like
--break-player and --no-break-player. This is redundant since the
equivalence of this syntax to --break-player=<yes|no> is already
documented, and the =<yes|no> syntax is more in line with the syntax
of other option types.
This replaces all usage of --no-foobar with --foobar=no, and use
--foobar=<yes|no> when possible.
Deinterlacing required that the user set it on/off themselves, but we
actually have handy flags for detecting if a frame is interlaced. So
it's pretty simple to make an auto option using that. Unfortunately,
life is not quite that simple and there are known cases of false
positives from the ffmpeg flags so we can't make auto the default value.
However, it still may have some utility for some people, and the
detection could potentially be improved upon later. Closes#10358.
This doesn't actually work on either Windows or Linux with --terminal.
With --no-terminal or --no-input-terminal the SIGTERM handler is never
registered, so it definitely can't work.
Just remove the note about signals because it would be complicated to
explain that they don't terminate abruptly only with --terminal and only
if that signal has a handler, and it wouldn't be of interest to most
users.
This section has no reason to exist anymore because:
- No "desktop issues" sections exist for other platforms, and all other
Linux-specific issues are represented as notes for options. This section
only addressed one specific issue.
- This section was shortened significantly with commit
2c46ae8ea3, so there is no need for
this to be a separate section anymore.
- This section was shortened again with commit
d5e681e95d, when the original rationale
behind this section became outdated because GNOME has implemented the
idle inhibit protocol.
The historical info is moved to the documentation of --stop-screensaver.
5f74ed5828 deprecated this many years ago.
The utility is questionable at best given that -remove exists and is
more natural to use. Free up some code and drop it.
This better reflects what it actually does. As a bonus, script writers
won't be misled into thinking that fps displays the actual video or
display fps.
There was a discrepancy in what the keybind was advertised to do in the
manual, and what the comment in input.conf described it to be doing. It
makes very little sense to add a keybind that changes the default and
doesn't allow you to get back to the default. This keybind is much more
useful if it toggles between yes/force instead of no/force.
It is worth adding this example because it has been asked multiple times
in the issue tracker and the IRC channel.
string.find() is used because it's 20 times faster than string.match().
This adds cache as a possible path for mpv to internally pick
(~/.cache/mpv for non-darwin unix-like systems, the usual config
directory for everyone else). For gpu shader cache and icc cache,
controlling whether or not to write such files is done with the new
--gpu-shader-cache and --icc-cache options respectively. Additionally,
--cache-on-disk no longer requires explicitly setting the --cache-dir
option. The old options, --cache-dir, --gpu-shader-cache-dir, and
--icc-cache-dir simply set an override for the directory to save cache
files. If unset, then the cache is saved in XDG_CACHE_HOME.
A pain point for some users is the fact that watch_later is stored in
the ~/.config directory when it's really not configuration data. Roughly
2 years ago, XDG_STATE_DIR was added to the XDG Base Directory
Specification[0] and its description, user-specific state data, actually
perfectly matches what watch_later data is for. Let's go ahead and use
this directory as the default for watch_later. This change only affects
non-darwin unix-like systems (i.e. Linux, BSDs, etc.). The directory
doesn't move for anyone else.
Internally, quite a few things change with regards to the path
selection. If the platform in question does not have a statedir concept,
then the path selection will simply return "home" instead (old
behavior). Fixes#9147.

Instead of erroring when values returned by profile-cond expressions
aren't booleans, apply the relative profiles as long as the return
values are truthy. This allows shortening conditions like
profile-cond=path:match('foo') ~= nil
to
profile-cond=path:match('foo')
These options make it possible to specify the directory that will be
passed to ass_set_fonts_dir(), akin to VLC's `--ssa-fontsdir` and
FFmpeg's `fontsdir`.
Fixes#8338
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.
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.
This adds a section to the documentation to explain how resuming
playback works, and in particular it explains how it affects which
playlist entry mpv starts playing from, since this feature was only
implied in the --playlist-start documentation.
It also groups the documentation of the watch later options together to
make them easier to find.
We have a few examples with vf=rotate=90, but libavfilter's rotate
accepts radians - not degrees, so a value of 90 is valid but misleading
because it's not 90 degrees.
Change the value of 90 at those examples.
Also replace "vf-add=hflip" with "vf add hflip", since that example
lists commands, not options, to run.
This fix the warnings shown below when compiling the manual for
any of its three common formats:
```
DOCS/man/mpv.rst:46: (ERROR/3) Unknown target name: "--input-test".
DOCS/man/stats.rst:183: (ERROR/3) Unknown target name: "--input-test".
```
In rst, double-backtick starts a code string only if it's followed by
a non-space char, otherwise it's taken literally, hence, `` x2.0``
was taken literally rather than code string.
