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.
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.
There were two option syntax variations:
"old": -opt value
"new": --opt=value
"-opt=value" was invalid, and "--opt value" meant "--opt=" followed by
a separate option "value" (i.e. interpreted as filename). There isn't
really any reason to do this. The "old" syntax used to be ambiguous
(you had to call the option parser to know whether the following
argument is an option value or a new option), but that has been removed.
Further, using "=" in the option string is always unambiguous.
Since the distinction between the two option variants is confusing,
just remove the difference and allow "--opt value" and "-opt=value".
To make this easier, do some other cleanups as well (e.g. avoid having
to do a manual lookup of the option just to check for M_OPT_PRE_PARSE,
which somehow ended up with finally getting rid of the m_config.mode
member).
Error reporting is still a mess, and we opt for reporting too many
rather than too few errors to the user.
There shouldn't be many user-visible changes. The --framedrop and
--term-osd options now always require parameters.
The --mute option is intentionally made ambiguous: it works like a flag
option, but a value can be passed to it explicitly ("--mute=auto"). If
the interpretation of the option is ambiguous (like "--mute auto"), the
second string is interpreted as separate option or filename. (Normal
flag options are actually ambiguous in this way too.)
Normally, all flag options can be negated by prepending a "no-", for
example "--no-opt" becomes "--opt=no". Some flag options can't actually
be negated, so add a CONF_TYPE_STORE option type to disallow the "no-"
fallback.
Do the same for choice options. Remove the explicit "no-" prefixed
options, add "no" as choice.
Move the handling of automatic "no-" options from parser-mpcmd.c to
m_config.c, and use it in m_config_set_option/m_config_parse_option.
This makes these options available in the config file. It also
simplifies sub-option parsing, because it doesn't need to handle "no-"
anymore.
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.)
Tis drops the silly lib prefixes, and attempts to organize the tree in
a more logical way. Make the top-level directory less cluttered as
well.
Renames the following directories:
libaf -> audio/filter
libao2 -> audio/out
libvo -> video/out
libmpdemux -> demux
Split libmpcodecs:
vf* -> video/filter
vd*, dec_video.* -> video/decode
mp_image*, img_format*, ... -> video/
ad*, dec_audio.* -> audio/decode
libaf/format.* is moved to audio/ - this is similar to how mp_image.*
is located in video/.
Move most top-level .c/.h files to core. (talloc.c/.h is left on top-
level, because it's external.) Park some of the more annoying files
in compat/. Some of these are relicts from the time mplayer used
ffmpeg internals.
sub/ is not split, because it's too much of a mess (subtitle code is
mixed with OSD display and rendering).
Maybe the organization of core is not ideal: it mixes playback core
(like mplayer.c) and utility helpers (like bstr.c/h). Should the need
arise, the playback core will be moved somewhere else, while core
contains all helper and common code.
