`--no-config` should prevent loading any user files, whether it be
config, cache, watch_later state etc. This functionality was changed by
df758880e2 because internally `--no-config` is equivalent to passing
`--config-dir=""` which resulted in cache and state being auto-detected
even if `--no-config` was passed.
Fixes: df758880e2 ("path: don't override "cache" and "state" paths with configdir")
currently for a filename such as ".file" mpv incorrectly thinks of the
entire filename as being an extension. skip leading dots to avoid
treating "hidden/dot" files as extension.
This reverts commit 576e86bfa1 (functionally).
Right now, the --config-dir option silently causes all watch_later and cache
files to be written in the --config-dir as well. This is pretty uninitutive
and also not desirable in most cases so get rid of this.
libmpv users will have to set the corresponding options or env vars if they
want to keep the old behaviour.
35f43dfacb added a system to write resume files for redirects, i.e.
directories and playlists that mpv expands.
It creates a resume file for each redirect, and for the first redirect
only, it writes a resume file for each segment of its path, without even
converting it to an absolute path if it's relative. This is incomplete:
mpv 'Iron Maiden/1982 The Number of the Beast/8 Hallowed Be Thy Name.mp3'
This doesn't save any redirect entry.
mpv --directory-mode=recursive 'Iron Maiden', then quit-watch-later on
Hallowed Be Thy Name
This saves a redirect entry for "Iron Maiden", but not for "1982 The
Number of the Beast". It doesn't save redirect entries for the
directories above "Iron Maiden" either because "Iron Maiden" isn't
converted to an absolute path.
In both of these cases mpv --directory-mode=lazy 'Iron Maiden' won't
resume from "Hallowed Be Thy Name" because "1982 The Number of the
Beast" isn't the first subdirectory and there is no redirect entry for
it.
503dada42f made mpv recursively expand subdirectories precisely to fix
this, and f266eadf1e added back an option not to expand them. But if we
fix how redirect entries are stored, we can make the superior
--directory-mode=lazy (because it's faster and doesn't result in massive
playlists) the default, and also ensure that mpv will resume playback
even when you quit-watch-later a file without redirects and then play
the directories above it.
Fix this by always creating redirect entries for all segments of the absolute
path of the file, so that both
mpv 'Iron Maiden/1982 The Number of the Beast/8 Hallowed Be Thy Name.mp3'
and
mpv --directory-mode=lazy 'Iron Maiden'
will create redirect entries for
/$USER
/$USER/music
/$USER/music/Iron Maiden
/$USER/music/Iron Maiden/1982 The Number of the Beast
making mpv --directory-mode=lazy "Iron Maiden" resume from
"Hallowed Be Thy Name".
This commit also makes mpv delete the redirect entries of parent
directories when resuming playback, because if for example you have a
playlist with all the songs in a discography:
1980 Iron Maiden/1 Prowler.mp3
1980 Iron Maiden/2 Remember Tomorrow.mp3
...
1981 Killers/1 The Ides of March.mp3
1981 Killers/2 Wrathchild.mp3
...
Now mpv will eventually create redirect entries for every album. If you
later decide to play the directories instead and there are 20 albums,
you would have to do mpv * 20 times to clear all the redirect entries.
This matches the behaviour that libmpv API clients expect better and
prevents silent regressons with watch_later suddenly appearing in
an entirely different path (or none at all in case of weird platforms*).
Also added some comments for easier understanding.

This adds cache as a possible path for mpv to internally pick
(~/.cache/mpv for non-darwin unix-like systems, the usual config
directory for everyone else). For gpu shader cache and icc cache,
controlling whether or not to write such files is done with the new
--gpu-shader-cache and --icc-cache options respectively. Additionally,
--cache-on-disk no longer requires explicitly setting the --cache-dir
option. The old options, --cache-dir, --gpu-shader-cache-dir, and
--icc-cache-dir simply set an override for the directory to save cache
files. If unset, then the cache is saved in XDG_CACHE_HOME.
A pain point for some users is the fact that watch_later is stored in
the ~/.config directory when it's really not configuration data. Roughly
2 years ago, XDG_STATE_DIR was added to the XDG Base Directory
Specification[0] and its description, user-specific state data, actually
perfectly matches what watch_later data is for. Let's go ahead and use
this directory as the default for watch_later. This change only affects
non-darwin unix-like systems (i.e. Linux, BSDs, etc.). The directory
doesn't move for anyone else.
Internally, quite a few things change with regards to the path
selection. If the platform in question does not have a statedir concept,
then the path selection will simply return "home" instead (old
behavior). Fixes#9147.

Currently, nothing new is actually implemented but the idea is simply to
just pass a type string all the way up from mp_find_user_file down to
actually getting the platform path. This allows for selecting different
directories besides the user's native config directory. See the next
commit for an implementation.
macOS really has completely different path conventions that mpv doesn't
take into account and it treats it just like any other old unix-like
system. This means mpv enforces certain conventions on it (like all the
XDG stuff) that doesn't really apply. Since we'd like to use more of
this but at the same time not distrupt mac users even more, let's just
copy and paste the current code to a new file, update the build and call
it a day. This way, the paths of these two platforms can more freely
diverge.
Apparently mpv supports loading config files from the same directory as
the mpv.exe. This is a fallback of some sort. It used the old_home
mechanism.
I want to add a warning if old_home exists, but that would always show
the warning on win32. Obviously we don't want that.
Add a separate exe_dir entry to deal with that.
Untested, but probably works.
Mistakenly reverted as part of the default configuration directory
location switch-back in aa18a8e1cd.
Separation of the mpv executable directory from old_path is a
good change now that we warn about the old_config directory also
existing.

win32 is a cursed abomination which has "drive letters" at the root of
the filesystem namespace for no reason. This requires special handling
beyond tolerating the idiotic "\" path separator.
Even more cursed is the fact that a path starting with a drive letter
can be a relative path. For example, "c:billsucks" is actually a
relative path to the current working directory of the C drive. So for
example if the current working directory is "c:/windowsphone", then
"c:billsucks" would reference "c:/windowsphone/billsucks".
You should realize that win32 is a ridiculous satanic trash fire by the
point you realize that win32 has at least 26 current working
directories, one for each drive letter.
Anyway, the actual problem is that mpv's mp_path_join() function would
return a relative path if an absolute relative path is joined with a
drive-relative path. This should never happen; I bet it breaks a lot of
assumptions (maybe even some security or safety relevant ones, but
probably not).
Since relative drive paths are such a fucked up shit idea, don't try to
support them "properly", and just solve the problem at hand. The
solution produces a path that should be invalid on win32.
Joining two relative paths still behaves the same; this is probably OK
(maybe).
The change isn't very minimal due to me rewriting parts of it without
strict need, but I don't care.
Note that the Python os.path.join() function (after which the mpv
function was apparently modeled) has the same problem.
The path functions need to access the option that forces non-default
config directories. Just add it as a field to mpv_global - it seems
justified. The accessed options were always enforced as immutable after
init, so there's not much of a change.
I've decided that MP_TRACE means “noisy spam per frame”, whereas
MP_DBG just means “more verbose debugging messages than MSGL_V”.
Basically, MSGL_DBG shouldn't create spam per frame like it currently
does, and MSGL_V should make sense to the end-user and provide mostly
additional informational output.
MP_DBG is basically what I want to make the new default for --log-file,
so the cut-off point for MP_DBG is if we probably want to know if for
debugging purposes but the user most likely doesn't care about on the
terminal.
Also, the debug callbacks for libass and ffmpeg got bumped in their
verbosity levels slightly, because being external components they're a
bit less relevant to mpv debugging, and a bit too over-eager in what
they consider to be relevant information.
I exclusively used the "try it on my machine and remove messages from
MSGL_* until it does what I want it to" approach of refactoring, so
YMMV.
HOME isn't set by default on Windows. But if the user does set it,
prefer it by default.
Enables stuff like --log-file=~/mpv.log to work, even if HOME isn't set.
The history goes back to 2001 or so, but everyone involved with still
existing code has agreed.
One person who could not be reached yet (elevengu) has changes in this,
which as far as I can tell were overwritten anyway at a later point.
The code for expanding the ~~ prefix used mp_find_config_file(), which
strictly looks for _existing_ files in any config path (e.g. not just
the user-local one, but also system-wide config). If no such file
exists, it simply returns NULL, which makes the code below just return
the literal, unexpanded path.
Change this so that it'll resolve the path to the user-local config
directory instead.
Requested in #3591.
If you do "mpv /bla/", and then branch out into sub-directories using
playlist navigation, and then used quit and watch later, then playing
the same directory did not resume from the previous point. This was
because resuming is based on the path hash, so a path prefix can't be
detected when resuming the parent directory.
Solve this by writing each path prefix when playing directories is
involved. (This includes all parent paths, so interestingly, "mpv /"
would also resume in the above example.)
Something like this was requested multiple times, and I want it too.
The "PWD" enviornment variable is described by POSIX. We don't go to
length to verify its contents, but just trust it.
This affects the logic for resuming playback.
This was completely broken. It was checked manually in some config
loading paths, so it appeared to work. But the intention was always to
completely disable reading from the normal config dir. This logic was
broken in commit 2263f37d.
The manual checks are actually redundant, and are not needed if
--no-config is implemented properly - remove them.
Additionally, the change to load the libmpv defaults from an embedded
profile also failed to set "config=no". The option is marked as not
being settable by a config file, and the libmpv default profile is
parsed as a config file, so this option was rejected. Fix it by removing
the CONF_NOCFG flag. (Alternatively, m_config_set_profile() could be
changed not to set the "config file" flag by default, but I'm not
bothering with this.)
mp_find_config_file() will print the filename lookup and its result in
verbose mode. This is wanted, but gets inconvenient when it is done for
every playlist entry (for resuming).
Lookup the watch_later subdir only once and cache the result instead.
This drops the logic for loading the resume file from other locations,
which should generally be unnecessary, though might lead to confusion if
the user has mixed old and new config paths (which the user shouldn't).
Also add a mp_find_user_config_file() function for a more
straightforward and reliable way to get actual local configpaths,
instead of possibly global and unwritable locations.
Also, for symmetry, check the resume option in mp_load_playback_resume()
just like mp_check_playlist_resume() does.
Share most of the implementation of config file lookup between
mp_find_all_config_files() and mp_find_config_file().
Also move the check for config path overrides to mp_get_platform_path()
directly. From the point of view of config file lookup, this is a bit
stupid, but on the other hand increases consistency, as user path
resolution exposes the mp_get_platform_path() functionality directly to
the user.
Since commit 7381db60, strings like "~desktop/" were expanded as
platform-specific paths by mpv. Apparently this similarity to standard
Unix shell expansion caused confusion, so change it to "~~desktop/". The
shell doesn't expand this, so it should be better.
Somewhat less ifdeffery, higher flexibility. Now there are 3 separate
config file resolvers for 3 platforms (unix, win, osx), and they can
still interact with each other somewhat. For example, OSX for now uses
most of Unix, but adds the OSX bundle path.
This can be extended to resolve very specific platform paths, such as
location of the desktop.
Most of the Unix specific code moves to path-unix.c.
The behavior should be the same - if not, it is likely a bug.
Actually, it's pretty simple to look for multiple filenames at once,
since mp_find_all_config_files() is already a bit "special" anyway.
See #1569. Reverts most of commit db167cd4 (keeps osx-bundle.conf).
We certainly don't use the mplayer configuration dir. The name didn't
matter, but now that it's in user-visible output (as part of config.h
being dumped in verbose mode), it's a bit too strange.
mp_stat() instead of stat() was used in the normal code (i.e. even
on Unix), because MinGW-w64 has an unbelievable macro-mess in place,
which prevents solving this elegantly.
Add some dirty workarounds to hide mp_stat() from the normal code
properly. This now requires replacing all functions that use the
struct stat type. This includes fstat, lstat, fstatat, and possibly
others. (mpv currently uses stat and fstat only.)
Don't worry, your ~/.config/... paths are safe. This merely removes
handling of $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS for global paths.
Maybe there is a better solution for this, like still including the
"traditional" config dir. But I will leave the fine reading of this
(crappy) spec and fixing the code accordingly to someone else. So, if
anyone has interest in getting this behavior back, you will have to
write a patch. This patch should _also_ not break expected behavior.
Fixes#1060.
