As requested I guess. It behaves quite similar to the --loop* options.
Not quite happy with the idea that 1) the option is mutated on each
operation (but at least it's consistent with --loop* and doesn't require
more properties), and 2) the ab-loop command will do nothing once all
loop iterations are done. As a concession, the OSD shows something about
"disabled".
Fixes: #7360
This is not really a changelog, but rather a list of potentially
breaking changes API- and normal users should be aware of, and to help
with migration from older mpv releases.
this creates a default log for the last mpv run when started from the
bundle. that way one can get a log of what happened even after an issue
occurred. also add a menu entry under Help to show the current log, but
only when the bundle is used.
Fixes#7396Fixes#2547
Directories inside ~~/scripts/ are now loaded as scripts, so don't use
it also for modules. Now there are no default module paths.
To compensate, we now try to run ~~/.init.js right after defaults.js,
so the user may extend the js init procedure via this script, e.g. for
adding default paths to mp.module_paths .
See #7435 and related for context.
Basically, it seems that while the original vsfilter processed subtitles
like with this option set to "yes", many current players (mpc-hc
default, vlc, probably most libass users) treat them like with "no". In
the linked issue, this makes rendering severely slower, and can consume
a lot of memory (or just overflow libass memory calculations). It seems
that changing this to "no" will lead to more good than bad, especially
because newer subtitles may be authored for the "no" behavior.
Most libass users seem to use "no" exactly because they do not call
ass_set_storage_size() at all. This API was needed because the scaling
of the subtitles depends on the video size (vsfilter bugs, or
something). In addition, it's my personal opinion that rendering should
not depend on the video at all, so I like setting the default of this to
"no".
The intention is to provide a slightly nicer way to distribute scripts.
For example, you could put multiple source files into the directory, and
then import them from the actual script file (this is still
unimplemented).
At first I wanted to require a config file (because you need to know at
least which scripting backend it should use). This wouldn't have been
too hard (could have reused/abused the mpv config file parsing
mechanism, and I already had working code that was just 2 function
calls). But probably better to do this without new config files, because
it might become a pain in the distant future.
So this just probes for "main.lua", "main.js", etc., until an existing
file is found.
Another important change is that this skips all directory entries whose
name starts with ".". This automatically excludes the "." and ".."
special directories, and is probably useful to exclude random crap that
might be lying around in the directory (such as editor temporary files,
or OSX, in its usual hrmful, annoying, and idiotic modus operandi,
sharting all over any directories opened by "Finder").
Although the changelog mentions the docs, they're added only in a later
commit.
This originally existed as a hack for weston. In certain scenarios, a
frame taking too long to render would cause vo_wayland_wait_frame to
timeout which would result in a ton of dropped frames. The naive
solution was to just to add a slight delay to the time value. If a
frame took too long, it would likely to fall under the timeout value and
all was well. This was exposed to the user since the default delay
(1000) was completely arbitrary.
However with presentation time, this doesn't appear to be neccesary.
Fresh frames that take longer than the display's refresh rate (16.666 ms
in most cases) behave well in Weston. In the other two main compositors
without presentation time (GNOME and Plasma), they also do not
experience any ill effects. It's better not to overcomplicate things, so
this "feature" can be removed now.
It's ridiculous that --script=something.dumb does not cause an error.
Make it error, and extend this behavior to the scripts/ sub-dir in the
mpv config dir.
This "bundles" all OSD properties. It also makes some previously
Lua-only values available (Lua has mp.get_osd_margins(), unsure if
anything uses it).
The main intention is actually to allow retrieving all fields in an
"atomic" way. (Could introduce a mechanism on the level of the mpv
client API to do this, but doing ti ad-hoc all the time like this commit
is easier.)
Addresses dumb things like accidentally overwriting a media file with
e.g. "mpv --log-file test.mkv" (when the user thought that --log-file
was a flag option, when it actually takes a filename). This example will
now print an error. It still works with "-log-file overwritten.mkv", but
prints a warning.
Not sure if I'm being too careful or not "radical" enough. In any case,
both the syntax that stops working and the syntax that produces a
warning now have been discouraged and were called legacy for almost a
decade.
See manpage additions. The libarchive behavior mentioned in the last
paragraph there is technically unrelated, but makes this new option
mostly pointless.
See: #7182
In the distant past, the cuviddec backed copy hwaccel could be
configured directly using lavc options. However, since that time,
we gained support for automatic hw ctx creation which ended up
bypassing the lavc options.
Rather than trying to find a way to pass those options again, a
better idea is to make the 'cuda-decode-device' option, used by
the interop hwaccels, work for the copy hwaccels too.
And that's pretty simple: we have to add a create function that
checks the option and passes it on to ffmpeg.
Note that this does require a slight re-jig to the configuration
flags, as we now have a scenario where we want to build with support
for the cuda copy hwaccels but not the interop ones. So we need
a distinct configuration flag for that combination.
Fixes#7295.
Thought it might be useful to document some of these things, instead of
explaining them over and over again. But I can guarantee that nobody
will ever read all this. (Independent of its quality and completeness.)
Add an "auto-safe" mode, mostly triggered by Ubuntu's nonsense to force
hwdec=vaapi in the global config file in their mpv package. But to be
honest it's probably something more people want.
This is implemented as explicit whitelist. On Windows, HEVC/Intel is
sometimes broken, but it's still whitelisted, and in theory we'd need a
detailed whitelist of device names etc. (like for example browsers tend
to do). On OSX, videotoolbox is a pretty bad choice, but unfortunately
the only one, so it's whitelisted too. There may be a larger number of
hwdec wrappers that work anyway, and I'm for example ignoring Android.
A minority of users have expressed a dislike of hats, calling them
"cancer [that] don't belong in software" describing the people who add
them as "shitty circlejerks" and "chucklefuck."
While I personally disagree with those opinions, it's probably easier
to let them have it their way. For that reason this adds the option
`greenandgrumpy` to the osc, which allows users to disable the hat.
Lua scripting has an undocumented mp.set_osd_ass() function, which is
used by osc.lua and console.lua. Apparently, 3rd party scripts also use
this. It's probably time to make this a public API.
The Lua implementation just bypassed the libmpv API. To make it usable
by any type of client, turn it into a command, "osd-overlay".
There's already a "overlay-add". Ignore it (although the manpage admits
guiltiness). I don't really want to deal with that old command. Its main
problem is that it uses global IDs, while I'd like to avoid that scripts
mess with each others overlays (whether that is accidentally or
intentionally). Maybe "overlay-add" can eventually be merged into
"osd-overlay", but I'm too lazy to do that now.
Scripting now uses the commands. There is a helper to manage OSD
overlays. The helper is very "thin"; I only want to force script authors
to use the ID allocation, which may help with putting multiple scripts
into a single .lua file without causing conflicts (basically, avoiding
singletons within a script's environment). The old set_osd_ass() is
emulated with the new API.
The JS scripting wrapper also provides a set_osd_ass() function, which
calls internal mpv API. Comment that part (to keep it compiling), but
I'm leaving it to @avih to finish the change.
Now that 00af718a made the lua read_options behavior much more similar
to the js behavior, the main difference was that lua does not re-read
the config file at on_update (but it does re-apply its stored content)
while js did re-read it.
Now the js on_update also does not re-read the config file and instead
applies its stored original content.
This is slightly hacky by adding an undocumented optional 4th argument
to read_options which allows overriding the config file content.
As described in the manpage changes. This makes more sense than the
previous approach, where options could "unexpectedly" stick. Although
this is still a somewhat arbitrary policy (ask many people and you'd get
a number of different expectations on what should happen), I think that
it reflects what mpv's builtin stuff does.
All the copying is annoying, but let's just hope nobody is stupid enough
to change these properties per video frame or something equally
ridiculous.
Apparently there are two different options for controlling which
screen an mpv window goes onto: --fs-screen and --screen. The former
explicitly only controls which screen a fullscreened window goes onto,
but does not appear to actually care about this option at runtime for
X11, so pressing f will always fullscreen to the screen mpv is currently
on. This means the option is of questionable usefulness for starters.
Making it worse, if you use --screen=1 --fs, mpv will actually fullscreen
on screen 0, because --fs-screen isn't set. Instead of doing that, fall
back to whatever --screen is set to.
This is a bit different than the lua code: on script-opts change it
simply re-applies the conf-file and script-opts to the options object,
and if this results in any changed value at options then on_update is
called with the changelist as argument.
This allows a value to revert back to the conf-file value if the
matching script-opts key had a different value and then got deleted.
It also guarantees to call back whenever the options object is
modified, which the lua code doesn't do (e.g. if the caller changed
a value and the observer changed it back - it won't detect a change).
Although they were not undocumented, they were hidden away in the
respective manpage sections. It's a good idea to add them to the main
keyboard bindings overview too. stats.lua also did this.
