This finally gets rid of the LaTeX dependency.
We should actually be using docultils directly here, but I didn't
do this because of all the potential Python 2/3 breakage.
1000ms is a bit insane. It makes behavior on playback speed changes
worse (because the player has to catch up the dropped audio due to
audio-chain reset), and perhaps makes seeking slower.
Note that the problem of playback speed changes misbehaving will be
fixed in the future, but even then we don't want to have a buffer that
large.
Set the flag CODEC_FLAG_OUTPUT_CORRUPT by default. Note that there is
also CODEC_FLAG2_SHOW_ALL, which is older, but this seems to be ffmpeg
only.
Note that whether you want this enabled depends on the user. Some might
prefer that only good frames are output, while others want the decoder
to try as hard as possible to output _anything_. Since mplayer/mpv is
rather the kind of player that tries hard instead of being "clever", set
the new default to override libavcodec's default.
A nice way to test this is switching video tracks. Since mpv doesn't
wait for the next key frame, it'll start feeding the decoder with a
packet from the middle of the stream.
This is relatively hacky, but it's Christmas, so it's ok. This does two
things: 1. allow selecting two subtitle tracks, and 2. include a hack
that renders the second subtitle always as toptitle. See manpage
additions how to use this.
Basically, reimplement --msglevel. Instead of making the new msg code
use the legacy code, make the legacy code use the reimplemented
functionality.
The handling of the deprecated --identify switch changes. It temporarily
stops working; this will be fixed in later commits.
The actual sub-options syntax (like --msglevel-vo=...) goes away, but I
bet nobody knew about this or used this anyway.
Remove these because I'm too lazy to convert them to proper
STREAM_CTRLs. Considering that probably nobody uses radio://, caring
about this is a complete waste of time. I will add these commands back
if someone asks for them, but I don't expect this to happen.
"-" could skip optional arguments. I think this was a pretty bad idea,
because it introduced a weird special case.
I'll remove the special syntax, but keep compatibility for the "seek"
and "screenshot" commands.
Add the mp_get_user_path() function, and make it expand special path
prefixes. Use it for some things in mpv which take filenames
(--input-config, --screenshot-template, opengl icc-profile suboption).
This allows accessing files in the mpv config dir without hardcoding the
config path by prefixing the path with ~~/. Details see manpage
additions.
Use the scaled video size (i.e. as shown on the window) as reference for
zoom. This is the easiest way to fix different width/height scale
factors as they happen when zooming video with a pixel aspect ratio
other than 1:1.
Also fix the unscaled mode, so that it 1. doesn't scale even with
--video-zoom, and 2. doesn't scale by small amounts when the video is
cropped by making the window smaller than the video.
The --flip option flipped the image upside-down, by trying to use VO
support, or if not available, by inserting a video filter. I'm not sure
why it existed. Maybe it was important in ancient times when VfW based
decoders output an image this way (but even then, flipping an image is a
free operation by negating the stride).
One nice thing about this is that it provided a possible path for
implementing video orientation, which is a feature we should probably
support eventually. The important part is that it would be for free for
VOs that support it, and would work even with hardware decoding.
But for now get rid of it. It's useless, trivial, stands in the way, and
supporting video orientation would require solving other problems first.
In particular, this disables mpeg4. There are some files out there that
use GMC, a usually rarely used and ineffective feature, which is not
supported by most hardware decoders. In these cases the hw decoder
outputs garbage, while software decoding works perfectly fine. We can't
really fallback to software decoding in these cases, because we don't
know that something is wrong in the first place. I can't see any
advantages of hw decoding of mpeg4, so it's better to disable it.
Apparently this stopped working after some planar changes (broken format
negotiation). Radically change option parsing in an incompatible way.
Suggest alternatives to this filter, since it barely has any importance
anymore.
Don't bother explaining the sample format naming schema. The "ne" bit is
outdated anyway, and anyone who has to use this option will be able to
understand the naming schema just by looking at the names too.
vf_stereo3d now uses vf_lavfi, if mpv was compiled with libavfilter.
vf_swapuv is hereby undeprecated. It's too trivial to wrap it with
libavfilter, and it's also too useless that even typing this commit
message is not really worth the time to spend on it.
Just in case someone expects these are unchanged just because they're
not mentioned in changes.rst anywhere. Documenting all of these changes
would be too much work and not helpful either.
Mostly backwards compatible, we don't change much because we just want
to get rid of the legacy option string handling.
You can't pass an aspect as first argument anymore.
Apparently you can get this with: stereo3d=ab[2]{l,r}:sbs[2]{l,r}
So it seems the filter is redundant and can be removed.
