This gives these properties the "time" type, which allows them to be pretty-printed as HH:MM:SS easily (but also still allows raw formatting using e.g. ${=sub-start}).
This lets you press / in page 4 of the stats and type a keybinding or
part of its command to filter it by using mp.input.
This works badly without a VO because both stats.lua and console.lua use
show-text and only one can be displayed at a time, but it's still better
than not having the search available at all.
Enable ASS_FEATURE_{WHOLE_TEXT_LAYOUT, BIDI_BRACKETS} and auto base
detection by default, and add an option to disable this if needed.
This is strictly an improvement for webvtt files as they always use
auto base detection. This _fixes_ right-to-left text rendering for
webvtt files which correctly mark rtl/ltr. Webvtt files obtained from
sources which sideload the RTL information through css also see an
improvement due to the auto detection.
Generally SRT files also want this, but some are also written to
workaround VSFilter quirks.

Avoid having to configure both the OSD and the stats script opts when
you change the OSD options, in particular avoid having to convert colors
to BGR.
Also document the shadow options.
font_size, border_size and shadow offset defaults are kept because the
same values look much bigger in the stats than in the corresponding OSD
options.
osd-back-color is now respected without extra checks until you
explicitly set a shadow_color.
Showing media titles in the playlist is pointless when sources are ill
tagged and media titles contain only garbage. Being able to opt for
file names at least gives us a choice in such cases.
Turns out that adding more medatata like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision would
produce a lot of duplication and it is better to centralize it around
the track-list property.

Adds support for extracting codec profile. Old properties are redirected
to new one and removed from docs. Likely will stay like that forever as
there is no reason to remove them.
As a effect of unification of properties between audio and video,
video-codec will now print codec (format) descriptive name, not decoder
long name as it were before. In practice this change fixes what docs
says. If you really need decoder name, use the `track-list/N/decoder-desc`.
Probing for hwdec can be very slow: on my setup (Nvidia GPU without
VP9 hwdec capability), this causes 2x hot cache startup time compared
to explicitly disabling VP9 in this list (500 ms -> 1 000 ms).
Also remove --vo=vdpau reference.
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.
As far as I can tell PulseAudio introduced a bug in 16.0
where if a stream is (un)paused too often the reported latency
will momentarily spike by 3000% or more. Apparently in certain cases
just pausing once and waiting can also cause this.
Save the remaining users of PA the trouble of debugging the various
obscure issues that can arise from this (desync is a harmless example)
by enabling the latency hack code again.

Basically a simple way to perform any command/property action from the
command line. This takes the exact same syntax as input.conf but not
including the key naturally. Potentially useful for weird properties
that don't map well to options (like ao-volume). Fixes#12353.
This enhancement makes it easier to create constant width property
expansions, useful for the `--term-status-msg`. Additionally, it changes
to `%f` printing with manual zero trimming, which is easier to control
than `%g`. With this method, we can directly specify precision, not just
significant numbers. This approach also avoids overly high precision for
values less than 1, which is not necessary for a generic floating-point
print function.
A new print helper function is added, which can be used with adjusted
precision for specific cases where a different default is needed. This
also unifies the code slightly.
Escape all messages in osc.lua, because other than the title they
weren't being escaped at all. If for example you did mpv foo.mp4
'{\fs50}bar.mp4' and script-message osc-playlist, it would just render
the second entry as bar.mp4 in big text.
The title was escaped partially, now the escaping is complete because:
- It escapes \. Backslashes at the end of the title are escaped instead
of being stripped, and \n, \N and \h are now printed verbatim. In
particular, "\\n" is no longer converted to space and is printed
verbatim instead which is more correct.
- Newlines ("\n", not the "\\n" escape sequence) are converted to spaces
instead of rendering them and messing up the text positioning within
the OSC.
- Spaces at the start are preserved.
Fixes#11209, fixes#11275.
This adds a command to escape ASS tags to remove code duplication
between sub/osd_libass.c, console.lua, osc.lua, stats.lua and any user
script that calls mp.create_osd_overlay().
A command is used instead of scripting functions so that all clients can
use this and not just use Lua and JS ones.
osd_mangle_ass() also interprets osd-sym-cc and osd-ass-cc/{0,1}, but
since they use invalid UTF-8 characters there is no risk of escape-ass
users using them by accident, like with any OSD message.
Always replacing \n with \\N in mangle_ass() even when it is not called
by escape-ass doesn't seem to cause any issue, but I made it conditional
anyway to avoid changing how all OSD messages are treated unnecessarily.
There was no way for scripts to know the current size of the terminal,
which is essintial if they want to provide a good user experience even
without a window.
The terminal is assumed to be 80x24 in size, the new options
`term_width_limit` and `term_height_limit` can be used to overwrite
that.
Lines longer then the terminal width cause problems with scrolling
pages and need to be shortened.
The algorithm used for shortening can deal with tabs and escape
sequences, has rudimentary support for UTF-8 and runs in O(n).
avih helped in the creation of the term_ellipsis() function and split()
is also from him.
Manually editing interface-changes.rst is a giant maintenance pain that
causes merge conflicts all the time. Stop doing that nonsense and
instead have changes be written to files in DOCS/interface-changes. Also
remove that one sentence in changes.rst because it's just not true.
Debanding is an inherently destructive process. It is not needed for
most high-quality sources and only produces an adverse smoothing effect
when applied to fine-detailed content, removing detail. It should only
be applied when necessary, either manually with the `b` keybind or with
an automatic profile.
Additionally, it is quite computationally heavy with no real benefit for
high-quality content.
By default, and especially in the high-quality profile, mpv should
preserve source detail and quality as much as possible. Additional
processing should be opt-in.
Fixes the issue described in https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/11862
for SDR files for non-d3d11 gpu-api. We currently don't have a smarter
way to get the real on-the-wire bpc for other APIs, so this is the best
that can be done.
Clarify that --autofit-larger sets the maximum size of the window.
The original wording was not written with runtime change in mind,
so the implication of "not changing size" is ambiguous.
As the first aligned format this required a fix to reconfig().
Adding the other component-swapped formats in this group would be trivial
but I checked the DRM database [1] and no driver exists that supports
one of those but not YUYV and this is quite fringe as-is, so I opted not to.

76276c9210 introduced a generic filtering
framework which replaced the separate video and audio filter chains.
Additionally, 6d36fad83c and
76e7e78ce9 made the decoder wrappers
a filter.
Add a new section to document this, and corrrect the outdated
audio/video decoder and filter info.
replaces the old focus-on-open option with a more generic focus-on

Some incorrect syntax is used in DOCS/man/input.rst with c678033c1d
causing failure of PDF manual generation with rst2pdf. There are single
rather than double back-ticks for insert-at and insert-at-play so this
is fixed and a couple of typos are also corrected with this commit.
Previously there was no way to specify the field order of interlaced videos
when deinterlacing with inbuilt filters. Lavfi deinterlacers seemed to prefer
top field order while inbuilt ones (vdpaupp, vavpp, d3d11vpp) seemed to prefer
bottom field order. The default "auto" option should work exactly as before
while specifying either "tff" or "bff" should force the specified field order
This command initializes a vo dragging request for VOs that implement
the new VOCTRL_BEGIN_DRAGGING voctrl. This allows scripts to begin vo
dragging for any button press event.
Ended up being a bad idea. As a property, this inherently has more
functionality and the tradeoff of being able to do --ao-volume wasn't
worth it.
This reverts commit 58ed620c06.
The --alpha option currently covers two related but different concepts:
whether or not to ignore the alpha component and possibly blending it
with a background. Because of the way the option currently works, it is
impossible to have a transparent window (which requires setting
--alpha=yes) while blending it with the background at the same time. To
solve this, let's rework it so it it superseded by the background
option.
--background controls what kind of background to set for the image if
possible. It can be blended with the set background color, with tiles,
or not blended at all (the last one is still broken on X11/mesa except
for GLX, *sigh*). In this new paradigm, --alpha=no has no real purpose
because you can simply set the background to color and whatever color
you want for exactly the same effect. So the option is removed. Instead,
the hint set by windowing backends (i.e. setting
ra_ctx->opts.want_alpha) can by done with the --background option.
As an aside, the colors in vo_gpu are currently bugged due to not
pre-multiplying the alpha and it seems no one ever noticed. The next
commit fixes that. vo_gpu_next support happens latter since it requires
new things from libplacebo.
Fixes#9615.
Beef up the barebones description for the Mitchell filter and make it
consistent with the other --scale examples. In addition to this, make
some wording changes to make the language in the documentation a bit
more unified.
Before this change it was pretty obvious that multiple authors
contributed to this part of the manual (at completely different
timeframes), so the language was somewhat disjointed. The Mitchell
description was also not very helpful.
All other ao options are documented there so make ALSA the same.
Also remove the (Linux only) wording since some systems (e.g. FreeBSD)
provide compatibility layer for it.
While making this larger do make audio filters react slower, it doesn't
always make softvol react slower. This is because the softvol reaction
speed is related to the ao buffer size which on many systems have an
upper limit, typically much lower than 200 ms. In this case the softvol
won't react slower. Change the wording to clarify this.
This commit adds a DND_INSERT_NEXT action option for drag-and-drop,
allows for selecting it through the --drag-and-drop=insert-next option,
and adds the necessary plumbing to make that happen when something is
dragged onto the player.
Analogous changes to the previous commit ("add loadfile insert-next commands"),
but for the `loadlist` command.
This allows us to insert a new playlist next in the current playlist,
rather than just appending it to the end.
This commit adds two new commands (`insert-next` and `insert-next-play`)
which mirror the existing commands, `append` and `append-play` in
functionality, with the difference that they insert directly after the
current playlist entry, rather than at the end of the playlist.
This change gives MPV a piece of functionality already found in (for
example) Spotify's media player: "play next". Additionally, using the
new `insert-next` command, users can trivially write a script to play a
new piece of media immediately without otherwise clearing or altering
the remainder of the playlist.
This has defaulted to yes for a very long time, but evidentally it
annoys a lot of people (including myself). My argument is that this
makes no sense. mpv is for videos; not text. A 1920x1080 video should
open as 1920x1080 regardless of whatever the DPI settings of the OS is.
This can get very silly when you consider watching a 4k video which will
get this additional scale factor which is virtually never desirable.
Whether or not the OS and/or WM prevents it from getting larger than the
screen depends on a lot of things.
Previously some windowing backends required that this option be set to
yes in order to report a dpi scale value other than 1, but this should
be fixed with the previous commits. The only difference is whether or
not to scale the window by the additional factor.
Fixes#13465.
this partially reverts commit 7b5a258. back then the only properly
working vo on macOS was cocoa-cb (libmpv). it would always use the
deprecated opengl cocoa backend or no vo at all. because of that libmpv
was moved to the top of the auto-probing order, so the preferred vo
was used on macOS only.
we now have a working vulkan gpu/gpu-next backend on macOS which should
be the new default vo. though disabling the auto-probing again for
libmpv would probably cause the undesired behaviour on macOS that
cocoa-cb would never be auto selected again. especially if not build
with vulkan support or without vulkan driver on macOS, this would lead
to no video output at all. so instead of completely reverting the
mentioned commit, we instead move libmpv to the bottom of the
auto-probing order but only auto select it when mpv was built with
cocoa-cb support. this restores the previous behaviour on all other
platforms besides macOS, but also lets us auto select cocoa-cb if
supported.
On wayland, depending on the wl_output protocol version used,
the display-names property can have different values. Mention
this in the documentation, like for other platforms.
Document the use cases for enabling or disabling the wheel preprocessing.
Also note that this option has no effect on any filtering already done
by the OS/driver.
The current documentation lacks clarity regarding the interaction
between the `repeatable` and `complex` options. Through an analysis
of the source code (`player/lua/defaults.lua` and
`player/js/defaults.js`), it was observed that the `repeatable` option
is only meaningful when the `complex` option is not enabled.
Additionally, the `complex` option in the existing documentation is
confusing, actually `fn` can be called on key repeat when `complex` is
`true` and `repeatable` is not `true`.
To address these issues, the documentation for the `repeatable` option
was updated to specify that it only applies when the `complex` option is
not set to `true`. Furthermore, the description of the `complex` and
`event` were revised to acknowledge the occurrence of key repeat events.
This is technically due to the previous commits that made subtitle
rendering more efficient by eliminating redraws, but working around this
particular edge case is useless. The sub-clear-on-seek option was
originally introduced in d5940fabcd and
specifically is a workaround for completely broken mkv files. There is
no reason to use it otherwise. Because that option disables all
duplicate checking and the previous commits rework subtitle rendering in
the still image case to be dependent on keeping track of packets, the
end result is that you will get the same line rendered multiple times.
However the important case of broken mkv files with duplicate ReadOrder
fields still work just fine with --no-video. So instead of bothering
trying to make this option "work", just clarify that stuff can break
since, again, there's no reason to use it other than as a workaround for
broken files.
* Range of accepted values for teletext_page now include 0 and -1.
* 0 means "subtitle" and -1 means "*".
* Make 0 the default.

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.
vo_rpi and its related code has pretty much historically been a
disaster in mpv. The build regularly gets broken and since nobody uses
it, it takes months for anyone to notice. There was also that time where
fullscreen was broken for about a year and a half. Also building in waf
was entirely broken for about a couple of years or so due to mysterious
reasons no one ever figured out (meson magically fixed it).
Anyways, once again the build is broken due to rpi being forgotten about
again, but instead of pretending to support this crap. Just drop it all.
Nowadays, mmal hwdec is a relic since these devices are better off using
the v4l2m2m ffmpeg fork instead which actually uses KMS properly. RPI 1
and 2 probably can't do this and will remain broken but oh well blame
Broadcom for being special snowflakes and not using standard APIs (my
rockpro worked out of the box; just saying). RPI 2 is nearly 10 years
old anyways, so I think you can afford a new SBC by now. If we were
nicer, there would be a deprecation period, but this is broken in the
last major release anyway so too late.
Closes#13402.
This can be used to auto reload the input configuration file, e.g. in
vim:
autocmd BufWritePost ~/.config/mpv/input.conf silent !echo load-input-conf %:p | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket
Partially fixes#6362.
Additionally this can be used as a replacement for deprecated input
sections if they are ever actually removed. For example, if you want to
define different bindings for images, you can load-input-conf an
input.conf for images, and load the original again when switching to a
video. Though currently you would have to redefine builtin bindings that
were overwritten with image ones in the default input.conf.
Unlike set include mpv.conf, this works after playback has started. It
can be used to auto reload the configuration, e.g. in vim:
autocmd BufWritePost ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf silent !echo load-config-file %:p | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket
Partially fixes#6362.
Some X11 window managers support controlling the title bar independently
from other window decorations with _MOTIF_WM_HINTS. This allows hiding
the title bar while keeping other decorations like the resizing borders.
Let mpv respect the --title-bar option on X11 so --no-title-bar can hide
the title bar only like on win32.
Save the cache to separate files to avoid loading/saving a huge combined
libplacebo.cache. This approach allows the saving of only new cache
objects and avoids resaving the entire cache, especially even if only a
tiny change was made.
This commit improves the cold start time of mpv and avoids saving data
when it's not necessary.
Number of changes were made:
- each cached object is saved in its own file
- cache files are prefixed with the name of cached object
- cache directory is cleaned on each uninit
- the least recently used cache files are removed if cumulative cache
size is above limit
- files used in the recent 24 hours are not removed to allow changes
to mpv.conf without worrying about the cache being removed during
experimentation
- shader cache size limit is set to 128 MiB
- icc cache size limit is set to 1.5 GiB
- cache objects are loaded/saved as needed
This commit eliminates the runtime performance penalty associated with
the size cache. While we continue to maintain the cache limit to prevent
retaining stale objects, mpv now only loads a small subset of files that
are currently required for playback, instead of loading all files.
I don't actually deinterlace ever but allegedly this is better than
yadif, and there's no real reason to not have this be the fallback
deinterlace when we're not using hw frames. Also change various mentions
of yadif to bwdif. Ref #12835.
This exports `current-gpu-context` property, which is the string
description of the current active GPU context. This allows scripts to
uniquely identify the platform and backend used for --vo=gpu
and --vo=gpu-next.
mp.observe_property('foo', nil, ...) calls the handler at least 2 times
on each playlist change even when the property doesn't change. This is
dangerous because if you haven't read observe_property's documentation
in a long time this is easy to forget, and you can end up using it for
handlers that are computationally expensive or that cause unintended
side effects.
Therefore, this commit discourages its use more explicitly in the
documentation, and replaces its usages in scripts.
For console.lua, observing focused with type nil leads to calling
mp.osd_message('') when changing file while playing in the terminal with
the console disabled. I don't notice issues from this, but it's safer to
avoid it.
For playlist and track-list this doesn't really matter since they
trigger multiple changes on each new file anyway, but changing it can
avoid encouraging people to imitate the code.
One usage of none in stats.lua is kept because according to b9084dfd47
it is a hack to replicate the deprecated tick event.
