Usually, you have to call pthread_cond_timedwait() in a loop (because it
can wake up sporadically). If this function is used by another higher
level function, which uses a relative timeout, we actually have to
reduce the timeout on each iteration - or, simpler, compute the
"deadline" at the beginning of the function, and always pass the same
absolute time to the waiting function.
Might be unsafe if the system time is changed. On the other hand, this
is a fundamental race condition with these APIs.
Application icon was added to the Dock only when run inside of a bundle. That
was handled automatically by OS X using the Info.plist definition.
To add the Application icon when run as a CLI program, I used the samme
approach in the X11 code and loaded the icon as a static binary blob inside
of mpv's binary. This is the simplest approach as it avoid headackes when
relocating the binary and such.
The terminal OSD code includes the handling of the terminal status line,
showing player OSD messages on the terminal, and showing subtitles on
terminal (the latter two only if there is no video window, or if
terminal OSD is forced).
This didn't handle some corner cases correctly. For example, showing an
OSD message on the terminal always cleared the previous line, even if
the line was an important message (or even just the command prompt, if
most other messages were silenced).
Attempt to handle this correctly by keeping track of how many lines the
terminal OSD currently consists of. Since there could be race conditions
with other messages being printed, implement this in msg.c. Now msg.c
expects that MSGL_STATUS messages rewrite the status line, so the caller
is forced to use a single mp_msg() call to set the status line.
Instead of littering print_status() all over the place, update the
status only once per playloop iteration in update_osd_msg(). In audio-
only mode, the status line might now be a little bit off, but it's
perhaps ok.
Print the status line only if it has changed, or if another message was
printed. This might help with extremely slow terminals, although in
audio+video mode, it'll still be updated very often (A-V sync display
changes on every frame).
Instead of hardcoding the terminal sequences, use
terminfo/termcap to get the sequences. Remove the --term-osd-esc option,
which allowed to override the hardcoded escapes - it's useless now.
The fallback for terminals with no escape sequences for moving the
cursor and clearing a line is removed. This somewhat breaks status line
display on these terminals, including the MS Windows console: instead of
querying the terminal size and clearing the line manually by padding the
output with spaces, the line is simply not cleared. I don't expect this
to be a problem on UNIX, and on MS Windows we could emulate escape
sequences. Note that terminal OSD (other than the status line) was
broken anyway on these terminals.
In osd.c, the function get_term_width() is not used anymore, so remove
it. To remind us that the MS Windows console apparently adds a line
break when writint the last column, adjust screen_width in terminal-
win.c accordingly.
This is necessary to start mpv without forcing a console window,
but also breaks console usability. A workaround is to call mpv
from a wrapper process that uses the console subsystem and helps
redirecting the standard streams and WriteConsole output to where
they belong.
There's a single mp_msg() in path.c, but all path lookup functions seem
to depend on it, so we get a rat-tail of stuff we have to change. This
is probably a good thing though, because we can have the path lookup
functions also access options, so we could allow overriding the default
config path, or ignore the MPV_HOME environment variable, and such
things.
Also take the chance to consistently add talloc_ctx parameters to the
path lookup functions.
Also, this change causes a big mess on configfiles.c. It's the same
issue: everything suddenly needs a (different) context argument. Make it
less wild by providing a mp_load_auto_profiles() function, which
isolates most of it to configfiles.c.
Until now, there were two functions to add input sources (stuff like
stdin input, slave mode, lirc, joystick). Unify them to a single
function (mp_input_add_fd()), and make sure the associated callbacks
always have a context parameter.
Change the lirc and joystick code such that they take store their state
in a context struct (probably worthless), and use the new mp_msg
replacements (the point of this refactoring).
Additionally, get rid of the ugly USE_FD0_CMD_SELECT etc. ifdeffery in
the terminal handling code.
Instead of making msg.c an ifdef hell for unix vs. windows code, move
the code to separate functions defined in terminal-unix.c/terminal-
win.c.
Drop the code that selects random colors for --msgmodule prefixes.
This comes with a real change in behavior: now the signal handler is set
only when the terminal input code is active (e.g. not with
--no-consolecontrols), but this should be ok.
In my opinion, config.h inclusions should be kept to a minimum. MPlayer
code really liked including config.h everywhere, though, even in often
used header files. Try to reduce this.
Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
The tmsg stuff was for the internal gettext() based translation system,
which nobody ever attempted to use and thus was removed. mp_gtext() and
set_osd_tmsg() were also for this.
mp_dbg was once enabled in debug mode only, but since we have log level
for enabling debug messages, it seems utterly useless.
Bug introduced by commit 6fb020f5. It doesn't always happen, since it is
caused by the playloop and cocoa UI code running in separate threads.
Fixes#398.
mpv was hardcoded to always consider the right Alt key as Alt Gr, but there
are parituclar combinations of platforms and keyboard layouts where it's more
convenient to treat the right Alt as a keyboard modifier just like the left
one.
Fixes#388
This is needed so that new processes (created with fork+exec) don't
inherit open files, which can be important for a number of reasons.
Since O_CLOEXEC is relatively new (POSIX.1-2008, before that Linux
specific), we #define it to 0 in io.h to prevent compilation errors on
older/crappy systems. At least this is the plan.
input.c creates a pipe. For that, add a mp_set_cloexec() function (which
is based on Weston's code in vo_wayland.c, but more correct). We could
use pipe2() instead, but that is Linux specific. Technically, we have a
race condition, but it won't matter.
pthreads should be available anywhere. Even if not, for environment
without threads a pthread wrapper could be provided that can't actually
start threads, thus disabling features that require threads.
Make pthreads mandatory in order to simplify build dependencies and to
reduce ifdeffery. (Admittedly, there wasn't much complexity, but maybe
we will use pthreads more in the future, and then it'd become a real
bother.)
This commit adds a new build system based on waf. configure and Makefile
are deprecated effective immediately and someday in the future they will be
removed (they are still available by running ./old-configure).
You can find how the choice for waf came to be in `DOCS/waf-buildsystem.rst`.
TL;DR: we couldn't get the same level of abstraction and customization with
other build systems we tried (CMake and autotools).
For guidance on how to build the software now, take a look at README.md
and the cross compilation guide.
CREDITS:
This is a squash of ~250 commits. Some of them are not by me, so here is the
deserved attribution:
- @wm4 contributed some Windows fixes, renamed configure to old-configure
and contributed to the bootstrap script. Also, GNU/Linux testing.
- @lachs0r contributed some Windows fixes and the bootstrap script.
- @Nikoli contributed a lot of testing and discovered many bugs.
- @CrimsonVoid contributed changes to the bootstrap script.
The configure followed 5 different convetions of defines because the next guy
always wanted to introduce a new better way to uniform it[1]. For an
hypothetic feature 'hurr' you could have had:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #undef CONFIG_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #define HAVE_DURR 0
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #define CONFIG_DURR 0
All is now uniform and uses:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1
* #define HAVE_DURR 0
We like definining to 0 as opposed to `undef` bcause it can help spot typos
and is very helpful when doing big reorganizations in the code.

When starting mpv with nohup, file descriptor 0 seems to be invalid for
some reason. (I'm not quite sure why it should be... /proc/pid/fd/0
seems to indicate it's just /dev/null, and using /dev/null explicitly
shows that it works just fine.)
select() will always immediately return, and this causes mpv to burn CPU
without reason. Fix this by treating it as EOF when read() returns
EBADF.
Also add EINVAL to this condition, because it seems like a good idea.
This seems to be a problem only in OS X 10.9. I guess they improved the
general speed of the Cocoa startup and suddenly mpv core takes more time
than the Cocoa thread to initialize.
Fixes#285
(hopefully!)
Now that talloc has been removed, the license can be switched back to
GPLv2+. Actually, there never was a GPLv2+ licensed MPlayer (fork or
not) until now, but removal of some GPLv2-only code makes this possible
now. Rewrite the Copyright file to explain the reasons for the licenses
MPlayer and forks use. The old Copyright file didn't contain anything
interesting anymore, and all information it contained is available at
other places in the source tree.
The reason for the license change itself is that it should improve
interoperability with differently licensed code in general.
This essentially reverts commit 1752808.
Remove the ifdef hell from mp_find_user_config_file(). Move the win32
specific code (for MinGW and Cygwin) to path-win.c. The behavior should
be about the same, but I can't be sure due to lack of testing and
because the old path.c code was hard to follow. (I expect those who care
about windows will fix things, should issues pop up - sorry.)
One difference is that the new code will always force MPV_HOME. It looks
like the old code preferred the mpv config dir in the exe dir if it
exists.
Also, make sure MP_PATH_MAX has enough space, even if the equivalent
wchar_t string is not 0-terminated with PATH_MAX (because apparently the
winapi doesn't require this). (Actually, maybe we should just kill all
uses of PATH_MAX/MP_PATH_MAX.)
This is a bit "hard", because getenv() returns a static string, and we
can't just return an allocated string. We also want getenv() to be
thread-safe if possible. (If the mpv core is going to be more threaded,
we sure do want the lower layers to be thread-safe as well.)
Turns out that these checks were for versions of OS X that mpv doesn't even
support anymore. So just remove the checks since they cause a deprecation
warning.
GetCurrentProcess() is deprecated on 10.9. Make a universal solution by
checking OS version number.
get_system_version() function is the recommended Apple way of getting the
OS version, since Gestalt is also deprecated (and does pretty much the same
thing anyway)
Updating HIDRemote.m to use a similar function would allow to get rid of the
2 other warnings.
I did commit 86c05655d by thinking `mpv` already removed the `mpv` from
argc/argv. It actually is still there, so the argc must be 1 to check for no
arguments.
Thanks to @Nyx0uf for pointing out the bug and for testing on 10.9!
File opening through Finder, apparently drops `--psn` arguments on Mavericks
and just uses no args. Modify the code to account for that case.
This wasn't tested on 10.9 itself (I don't have a paid dev account), but it
*should* work if I understood the problem correctly.
Pretty useful for people writing userscripts for web browsers. Links starting
with 'mpv://' are forwarded to the mpv OSX bundle. The leading 'mpv://' is
stripped from the recived url and the rest of the string is inserted as is in
the playlist.
This prevents keys to become stuck due to changing keyboard modifiers during
the key down. Not the prettiest approach but event `x11_common` does it like
this.
Fixes#210
Fixes reports of printing of garbage (or anything else) other than clearing
the status line to the end of line: the buffer returned by termcap_get
could get moved, and if that happened then these 3 caps pointed to garbage.
setupterm abort()s if it can't initialize the terminal and the last
parameter is NULL; handle setupterm errors and retry with "ansi" if
the TERM env var was unset.
Due to the termcap matching and the hardcoded fallbacks, the ESC keypress
has to be followed by another non-matching keypress (such as another ESC)
for it to be accepted. We drop the second ESC in case it was typed twice.
If the first character is not a valid UTF-8 start code nor is in termcap,
getch2 would enter an infinite loop. Always walk 1 byte in the UTF-8 case
unless it's a valid start code.
If we still haven't read the full key from the input but it's regardless a
unique match in the database, we could receive a NULL keycode from
keys_search (it's not a full match after all) and proceed to use it.
Don't disable the keycode matching code if we don't have termcap as we can
still match against the hardcoded sequences.
Still uses termcap, but uses terminfo for loading the termcap database if
possible. Adds configure test to find terminfo; skips the termcap test
if terminfo is found since terminfo provides termcap.
Use termcap completely for special keys; if we can't get it from termcap
and it isn't one of the known fallbacks, we ignore its specialness and
treat as a sequence of UTF-8 codes.
Further hardcoded fallbacks can be added by calling keys_push_once in
load_termcap; there is no limit to the amount of keys pushed.
Uses the "ke" and "ks" capabilities to start / exit application mode, which
is necessary on vt100 emulators (including screen, xterm and all terminals
that emulate either of those) to correctly receive arrow keys.
It's now possible to compile getch2 even without termcap, though it won't
be of much use since it'll be unable to detect special keys.
Converted to 4 spaces per tab, prettified some statements.
Since Windows Vista, when running at 144 DPI or higher with composition
switched on, applications that don't declare themselves to be DPI aware
are stretched by the window manager, kind of like low resolution apps in
OSX.
To avoid this, declare DPI awareness in the manifest. Since mpv is
practically resolution independent this shouldn't cause any trouble. The
'True/PM' value declares per-monitor DPI awareness in Windows 8.1, so
that the mpv isn't shrunk when moved from a high DPI screen to one with
a lower DPI.
Also, avoid compatibility shims by declaring compatibility with all
Windows versions from Vista to 8.1 and add the missing uiAccess
attribute to the requestedExecutionLevel element.
Not sure how this worked. Only af_export.c and tvi_v4l2.c were
using mmap, but they didn't include osdep/mmap.h or mmap_anon.h. In
any case, we trust that the target system is sufficiently POSIX
compliant if mmap is actually defined (as checked by configure).
Update Cocoa parts to remove usage of the mp_fifo internal API to send events
to the core and use the input context directly. This is to follow commits the
work in commits 70a8079c and d603e73c.
Recent work in the OS X parts of the code started using clang's support for
Obj-C's support for Literals and Subscripting. These particular language
features remove a lot of boilerplate code and allow to interact with
collections as consicely as one would do in scripting languages like Ruby or
Python.
Even if these are compiler features, Subscripting needs some runtime support.
This is provided with libarclite (coming with the compiler), but we need to
add the proper method definitions since the 10.7 SDK headers do not include
them. That is because 10.7 shipped before this language features.
This will cause some warnings when compiling with the 10.7 SDK because the
commit also redefines BOOL to make autoboxing/unboxing of BOOL literals to
work.
If you need to test this for whatever reason on 10.8, just pass in the correct
SDK to configure's extra cflags:
./configure --extra-cflags='-mmacosx-version-min=10.7 -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk'
Fixes#117
This was overlooked in the previous inplementation. Adding it required some
refactoring of the `handleKeyDown:` method in order to extract common parts
with `handleMediaKey:`.
This commit addresses some issues with the users had with the previous
implementation in commit c39efb9. Here's the changes:
* Use Quartz Event Taps to remove Media Key events mpv handles from
the global OS X queue. This prevents conflicts with iTunes. I did this on
the main thread since it is mostly idling. It's the playloop thread that
actually does all the work so there is no danger of blocking the event tap
callback.
* Introduce `--no-media-keys` switch so that users can disable all of mpv's
media key handling at runtime (some prefer iTunes for example).
* Use mpv's bindings so that users can customize what the media keys do via
input.conf. Current bindings are:
MK_PLAY cycle pause
MK_PREV playlist_prev
MK_NEXT playlist_next
An additional benefit of this implementation is that it is completly handled
by the `macosx_events` file instead of `macosx_application` making the
project organization more straightforward.
After killing the non functional AR support in c8fd9e5 I got much complaints so
this adds AR support back in (and it works). I am using the HIDRemote class by
Felix Schwarz and that part of the code is under the BSD license. I slightly
modified it replacing [NSApplication sharedApplication] with NSApp. The code
of the class is quite complex (probably because it had to deal with all the
edge cases with IOKit) but it works nicely as a black box.
In a later commit I'll remove the deprecation warnings caused by HIDRemote's
usage of Gestalt.
Check out `etc/input.conf` for the default bindings.
Apple Remote functionality is automatically compiled in when cocoa is enabled.
It can be disabled at runtime with the `--no-ar` option.
Media keys are pretty handy if you use mpv as a music player (yes I'm one of
those people that do).
These are the bindings (which lead to the same behaviour as iTunes):
* NX_KEYTYPE_PLAY -> MP_KEY_PLAY
* NX_KEYTYPE_FAST -> MP_KEY_NEXT
* NX_KEYTYPE_REWIND -> MP_KEY_PREV
I just handled these ones as the volume one would be pretty invasive. I could
maybe change it to increase the application's volume instead of system volume
only when mpv is frontmost (iTunes does this), but some users would probably
hate it.
Now that Cocoa's input handling is done on a separate thread from the playloop
it is ridicolously simple to have longer asynchronous sleeps when paused.
On OSX with Cocoa enabled keyDown events are now handled with
addLocalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask:handler:. This allows to respond to
events even when there is no VO initialized but the GUI is focused.
This fixes a bug that caused the application to never leave it's frontmost
position.
The idea is stolen from @donmelton who used it in MPlayerShell. Thanks!
GetTimer() is generally replaced with mp_time_us(). Both calls return
microseconds, but the latter uses int64_t, us defined to never wrap,
and never returns 0 or negative values.
GetTimerMS() has no direct replacement. Instead the other functions are
used.
For some code, switch to mp_time_sec(), which returns the time as double
float value in seconds. The returned time is offset to program start
time, so there is enough precision left to deliver microsecond
resolution for at least 100 years. Unless it's casted to a float
(or the CPU reduces precision), which is why we still use mp_time_us()
out of paranoia in places where precision is clearly needed.
Always switch to the correct time. The whole point of the new timer
calls is that they don't wrap, and storing microseconds in unsigned int
variables would negate this.
In some cases, remove wrap-around handling for time values.
Make OS specific timer code export a mp_raw_time_us() function, and
add generic implementations of GetTimer()/GetTimerMS() using this
function. New mpv code is supposed to call mp_time_us() in situations
where precision is absolutely needed, or mp_time_s() otherwise.
Make it so that mp_time_us() will return a value near program start.
We don't set it to 0 though to avoid confusion with relative vs.
absolute time. Instead, pick an arbitrary offset.
Move the test program in timer-darwin.c to timer.c, and modify it to
work with the generic timer functions.
Also add a "raw" prefix for commands, which prevents property expansion.
The idea is that if the commands are generated by a program, it doesn't
have to know whether the command expands properties or not.
mpv crashed on quit when it was run using the bundle functionality and started
without any files thus waiting for file open events. In that case, since there
is no key_fifo initialized yet, short circuit to `terminate_cocoa_application()`
which is generally called from `exit_player()` during normal lifecycle.
Fixes bug report from user `eng` on IRC.
This commit is a followup on the previous one and uses a solution I like more
since it totally decouples the Cocoa code from mpv's core and tries to emulate
a generic Cocoa application's lifecycle as much as possible without fighting
the framework.
mpv's main is executed in a pthread while the main thread runs the native cocoa
event loop.
All of the thread safety is mainly accomplished with additional logic in
cocoa_common as to not increase complexity on the crossplatform parts of the
code.
Schedule mpv's playloop as a high frequency timer inside the main Cocoa event
loop. This has the benefit to allow accessing menus as well as resizing the
window without the playback being blocked and allows to remove countless hacks
from the code that involved manually pumping the event loop as well simulating
manually some of the Cocoa default behaviours.
A huge improvement consists in removing NSApplicationLoad. This is a C function
defined in the Cocoa header and implements a minimal OSX application under ther
hood so that you can use the Cocoa GUI toolkit from C/C++ without having to
respect the Cocoa standards in terms of application initialization. This was
bad because the behaviour implemented by NSApplicationLoad was hard to customize
and had several gotchas especially in the menu department.
mpv was changed to be just a nib-less application. All the Cocoa part is still
generated in code but the event handling is now not dissimilar to what is
present in a stock Mac application.
As a part of reviewing the initialization process, I also removed all of
`osdep/macosx_finder_args`. The useful parts of the code were moved to
`osdep/macosx_appication` which has the broaded responsibility of managing the
full lifecycle of the Cocoa application. By consequence the
`--enable-macosx-finder` configure switch was killed as well, as this feature
is always enabled.
Another change the users will notice is that when using a bundle the `--quiet`
option will be inserted much earlier in the initializaion process. This results
in mpv not spamming mpv.log anymore with all the initialization outputs.
Do this to reduce conflicts with <linux/input.h>, which contains some
conflicting defines.
This changes the meaning of MP_KEY_DOWN:
KEY_DOWN is renamed to MP_KEY_DOWN (cursor down key)
MP_KEY_DOWN is renamed to MP_KEY_STATE_DOWN (modifier for key down state)
This functionality looked smart but created problems with some kinds of
multi touch events. Moreover some events coming from the windows server – like
hovering a corner for window resize – didn't cause the player to wake up
immediately.
The "correct" non hacky way to implement async event polling with cocoa would
be having the vanilla cocoa event loop driving the player and setting up mpv's
terminal FDs as event sources for the cocoa event loop.
Fixes#20
Now, when backgrounded, mpv plays and outputs messages to stdout, but
statusline is not output.
Background<->foreground transitions are detected by signals and polling
the process groups.
This function sucks and apparently is not very portable (at least on
mingw, the configure check fails). Also remove the emulation of that
function from osdep/strsep*, and remove the configure check.
I have no idea when or how this broke, but _wstati64() is the function
we want anyway (64 bit filesize). Possibly this was a mingw-w64 bug.
It's unknown why "wstat()" just doesn't work in this case, as it's not
defined by MSDN and could be defined by mingw as it needs.
vsscanf() is in POSIX, C99, mingw, etc. Further, the implementation in
osdep/vsscanf.c was completely broken, and if it worked, it worked only
by chance.
Add `mp_find_config_file` to search different known paths and use that in
ass_mp to look for the fontconfig configuration file.
Some incidental changes spawned by this feature where:
* Buffer allocation for the strings containing the paths is now performed
with talloc. All of the allocations are done on a NULL context, but it still
improves readability of the code.
* Move the OSX function for lookup inside of a bundle: this code path was
currently not used by the bundle generated with `make osxbundle`. The plan
is to use it again in a future commit to get a fontconfig config file.
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.)
This changes the name of this project to mpv. Most user-visible mentions
of "MPlayer" and "mplayer" are changed to "mpv". The binary name and the
default config file location are changed as well.
The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/
Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI,
which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago.
We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require
one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is.
Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts. These contained outdated
dependencies and likely were more harmful than useful. (Patches which
add working and well-tested packaging are welcome.)
fixes issue with | less, where mplayer broke less's terminal
expectations and made less quit
Note this means that read() will be blocking again. Should be ok, as we
always check via select() before reading.
When files are double clicked or drag and dropped to the mplayer2 icon they
can be in random order. This commit forces alphabetical order.
Opening them with command + down arrow already worked correctly.

Summary:
- There is no playtree anymore. It's reduced to a simple list.
- Options are now always global. You can still have per-file options,
but these are optional and require special syntax.
- The slave command pt_step has been removed, and playlist_next
and playlist_prev added. (See etc/input.conf changes.)
This is a user visible incompatible change, and will break slave-mode
applications.
- The pt_clear slave command is renamed to playlist_clear.
- Playtree entries could have multiple files. This is not the case
anymore, and playlist entries have always exactly one entry. Whenever
something adds more than one file (like ASX playlists or dvd:// or
dvdnav:// on the command line), all files are added as separate
playlist entries.
Note that some of the changes are quite deep and violent. Expect
regressions.
The playlist parsing code in particular is of low quality. I didn't try
to improve it, and merely spent to least effort necessary to keep it
somehow working. (Especially ASX playlist handling.)
The playtree code was complicated and bloated. It was also barely used.
Most users don't even know that mplayer manages the playlist as tree,
or how to use it. The most obscure features was probably specifying a
tree on command line (with '{' and '}' to create/close tree nodes). It
filled the player code with complexity and confused users with weird
slave commands like pt_up.
Replace the playtree with a simple flat playlist. Playlist parsers that
actually return trees are changed to append all files to the playlist
pre-order.
It used to be the responsibility of the playtree code to change per-file
config options. Now this is done by the player core, and the playlist
code is free of such details.
Options are not per-file by default anymore. This was a very obscure and
complicated feature that confused even experienced users. Consider the
following command line:
mplayer file1.mkv file2.mkv --no-audio file3.mkv
This will disable the audio for file2.mkv only, because options are
per-file by default. To make the option affect all files, you're
supposed to put it before the first file.
This is bad, because normally you don't need per-file options. They are
very rarely needed, and the only reasonable use cases I can imagine are
use of the encode backend (mplayer encode branch), or for debugging. The
normal use case is made harder, and the feature is perceived as bug.
Even worse, correct usage is hard to explain for users.
Make all options global by default. The position of an option isn't
significant anymore (except for options that compensate each other,
consider --shuffle --no-shuffle).
One other important change is that no options are reset anymore if a
new file is started. If you change settings with slave mode commands,
they will not be changed by playing a new file. (Exceptions include
settings that are too file specific, like audio/subtitle stream
selection.)
There is still some need for per-file options. Debugging and encoding
are use cases that profit from per-file options. Per-file profiles (as
well as per-protocol and per-VO/AO options) need the implementation
related mechanisms to backup and restore options when the playback file
changes.
Simplify the save-slot stuff, which is possible because there is no
hierarchical play tree anymore. Now there's a simple backup field.
Add a way to specify per-file options on command line. Example:
mplayer f1.mkv -o0 --{ -o1 f2.mkv -o2 f3.mkv --} f4.mkv -o3
will have the following options per file set:
f1.mkv, f4.mkv: -o0 -o3
f2.mkv, f3.mkv: -o0 -o3 -o1 -o2
The options --{ and --} start and end per-file options. All files inside
the { } will be affected by the options equally (similar to how global
options and multiple files are handled). When playback of a file starts,
the per-file options are set according to the command line. When
playback ends, the per-file options are restored to the values when
playback started.
This was intended for translating filenames from filesystem charset to
the terminal charset. Modern sane platforms use UTF-8 for everything,
and on Windows we use unicode APIs, so this is not needed anymore.
Remove filename_recode, all uses of it, options and configure checks
related to terminal output charset, and code that tries to determine
the same.

Merge of cocoa_common.m done by pigoz.
Picking my version of screenshot.c. The fix in commit aadf1002f8 will
be redone in a follow-up commit, as the original commit causes too many
conflicts with the work done locally in this branch, and other work in
progress.
Add code to wake up the select() call in input.c when an OSX event is
available and a Cocoa OpenGL backend is initialized.
Fixes the slow response to input or other events in Cocoa-based VOs
during long select() sleeps (e.g., when mplayer2 is paused) introduced
by commit 7040968.
