Block X11's native key repeat, and use mpv's key repeat handling in
input.c instead.
No configure check for XKB. Even though it's an extension, it has been
part of most (all?) xlibs since 1996. If XKB appears to be missing,
just refuse enabling x11.
This is a potentially controversial change. mpv will use its own key
repeat rate, instead of X11's. This should be better, because seeking
will have a standardized "speed" (seek events per seconds when keeping
a seek key held down). It will also allow disabling key repears for
certain commands, though this is not done anywhere yet.
The new behavior can be disabled with the --native-keyrepeat option.
This option can be used to selectively reset settings when playing the
next file in the playlist (i.e. restore mplayer and mplayer2 behavior).
Might remove this option again should it turn out that nobody uses it.
Makes sure that seeking to a given time position shows the subtitle at
that position. This can fail if the subtitle packet is not close enough
to the seek target. Always enabled for hr-seeks, and can be manually
enabled for normal seeks with --mkv-subtitle-preroll.
This helps displaying subtitles correctly with ordered chapters. When
switching ordered chapter segments, a seek is performed. If the subtitle
is timed slightly before the start of the segment, it normally won't be
demuxed. This is a problem with all seeks, but in this case normal
playback is affected. Since switching segments always uses hr-seeks,
the code added by this commit is always active in this situation.
If no subtitles are selected or the subtitles come from an external
file, the demuxer should behave exactly as before this commit.
The OSX part of the Apple Remote was unmaintained for a long time and was not
working anymore. I tried to update the cookies to what the current versions of
OS X expect without much luck. I decided to remove it since Apple is not
including the IR receiver anymore in new hardware and it's clear that wifi
based remotes are the way to go.
A third party iOS app should be used in it's place. In the future we could look
into having a dedicated iOS Remote Control app like VLC and XBMC do.
The Linux side (`appleir.c`) was relatively tidy but it looks like LIRC can be
configured to work with any version of Apple Remote [1] and is more maintained.

Drawing the bar with vector drawings (instead with characters from the
OSD font) offers more flexibility and looks better. This also adds
chapter marks to the OSD bar, which are visible as small triangles on
the top and bottom inner border of the bar.
Change the default position of the OSD bar below the center of the
screen. This is less annoying than putting the bar directly into the
center of the view, where it obscures the video. The new position is
not quite on the bottom of the screen to avoid collisions with
subtitles.
The old centered position can be forced with ``--osd-bar-align-y=0``.
Also make it possible to change the OSD bar width/height with the new
--osd-bar-w and --osd-bar-h options.
It's possible that the new OSD bar renders much slower than the old
one. There are two reasons for this: 1. the character based bar
allowed libass to cache each character, while the vector drawing forces
it to redraw every time the bar position changes. 2., the bar position
is updated at a much higher granularity (the bar position is passed
along as float instead of as integer in the range 0-100, so the bar
will be updated on every single video frame).
Move them into per-instance structs. This should get rid of all global
variables in mplayer.c (not counting those referenced by cfg-mplayer.h).
In core/input/ar.c, just remove checking the slave_mode variable. I'm
not sure what this code was supposed to achieve, but slave mode is
broken, slave mode is actually infeasible on OSX (ar.c is completely OSX
specific), and the correct way of doing this would be to disable this
input device per command line switch.
Latest nvidia drivers ignore the application setting, so this switch
makes even less sense than before. It's still possible to control this
with VO specific suboptions.
Separate the video output options from the big MPOpts structure and also only
pass the new mp_vo_opts structure to the vo backend.
Move video_driver_list into mp_vo_opts
The spdif decoder was hardcoded to assume that the spdif output is
capable of accepting high (>1.5Mbps) bitrates. While this is true
for modern HDMI spdif interfaces, the original coax/toslink system
cannot deal with this and will fail to work.
This patch adds an option --dtshd which can be enabled if you use
a DTS-capable receiver behind a HDMI link.
Removes almost every global variabel in vo.h and puts them in a special struct
in MPOpts for video output related options.
Also we completly remove the options/globals pts and refresh rate because
they were unused.
Change the option definition macros so that they cause compiler warnings
if the type of the referenced option struct member doesn't match the
type implied by the macro. The compiler warning printed isn't very
telling, but it's better than silently invoking undefined behavior by
violating the C strict aliasing rules.
Also fix some minor cases that violate the type rules. For the option
"no-aspect" we have to add a new option type to handle it properly.
Some option types are hard to check, so we don't in these cases.
This allowed making the player switch the monitor video mode when
creating the video window. This was a questionable feature, and with
today's LCD screens certainly not useful anymore. Switching to a random
video mode (going by video width/height) doesn't sound too useful
either.
I'm not sure about the win32 implementation, but the X part had several
bugs. Even in mplayer-svn (where x11_common.c hasn't been receiving any
larger changes for a long time), this code is buggy and doesn't do the
right thing anyway. (And what the hell _did_ it do when using multiple
physical monitors?)
If you really want this, write a shell script that calls xrandr before
and after calling mpv.
vo_sdl still can do mode switching, because SDL has native support for
it, and using it is trivial. Add a new sub-option for this.
`--fs-screen` allows to decide what display to go fullscreen into. The
semantics of `--screen` changed and now it is only used to select the windowed
display when starting the application.
This is useful for people using mpv with an external TV. They will start
windowed on their laptop's screen and switch to fullscreen on the TV.
@wm4 worked on the x11 and w32 parts of the code. All is squashed in one
commit for history clarity.
Use codec names instead of FourCCs to identify codecs. Rewrite how
codecs are selected and initialized. Now each decoder exports a list
of decoders (and the codec it supports) via add_decoders(). The order
matters, and the first decoder for a given decoder is preferred over
the other decoders. E.g. all ad_mpg123 decoders are preferred over
ad_lavc, because it comes first in the mpcodecs_ad_drivers array.
Likewise, decoders within ad_lavc that are enumerated first by
libavcodec (using av_codec_next()) are preferred. (This is actually
critical to select h264 software decoding by default instead of vdpau.
libavcodec and ffmpeg/avconv use the same method to select decoders by
default, so we hope this is sane.)
The codec names follow libavcodec's codec names as defined by
AVCodecDescriptor.name (see libavcodec/codec_desc.c). Some decoders
have names different from the canonical codec name. The AVCodecDescriptor
API is relatively new, so we need a compatibility layer for older
libavcodec versions for codec names that are referenced internally,
and which are different from the decoder name. (Add a configure check
for that, because checking versions is getting way too messy.)
demux/codec_tags.c is generated from the former codecs.conf (minus
"special" decoders like vdpau, and excluding the mappings that are the
same as the mappings libavformat's exported RIFF tables). It contains
all the mappings from FourCCs to codec name. This is needed for
demux_mkv, demux_mpg, demux_avi and demux_asf. demux_lavf will set the
codec as determined by libavformat, while the other demuxers have to do
this on their own, using the mp_set_audio/video_codec_from_tag()
functions. Note that the sh_audio/video->format members don't uniquely
identify the codec anymore, and sh->codec takes over this role.
Replace the --ac/--vc/--afm/--vfm with new --vd/--ad options, which
provide cover the functionality of the removed switched.
Note: there's no CODECS_FLAG_FLIP flag anymore. This means some obscure
container/video combinations (e.g. the sample Film_200_zygo_pro.mov)
are played flipped. ffplay/avplay doesn't handle this properly either,
so we don't care and blame ffmeg/libav instead.
Simplify --no-config and make it a normal flag option, and doesn't take
an argument anymore. You can get the same behavior by using --no-config
and then --include to explicitly load a certain config file.
Make --no-config work for input.conf as well. Make it so that
--input:conf=file still works in this case. As a technically unrelated
change, the file argument now works as one would expect, instead of
making it relatively to "~/.mpv/". This makes for simpler code and
easier to understand option semantics. We can also print better error
messages.
Move things that are used by vo_xv only into vo_xv, same for vo_x11.
Rename some functions exported by x11_common, like vo_init to
vo_x11_common. Make functions not used outsode of x11_common.c private
to that file. Eliminate all global variables defined by x11_common
(except error handler and colormap stuff).
There shouldn't be any functional changes, and only code is moved
around. There are some minor simplifications in the X11 init code, as
we completely remove the ability to initialize X11 and X11+VO
separately (see commit b4d9647 "mplayer: do not create X11 state in player frontend"),
and the respective functions are conflated into vo_x11_init() and
vo_x11_uninit().
-x/-y were rather useless and obscure. The only use I can see is
forcing a specific aspect ratio without having to calculate the aspect
ratio float value (although --aspect takes values of the form w:h).
This can be also done with --geometry and --no-keepaspect. There was
also a comment that -x/-y is useful for -vm, although I don't see how
this is useful as it still messes up aspect ratio.
-xy is mostly obsolete. It does two things: a) set the window width to
a pixel value, b) scale the window size by a factor. a) is already done
by --autofit (--autofit=num does exactly the same thing as --xy=num, if
num >= 8). b) is not all that useful, so we just drop that
functionality.
--autofit=WxH sets the window size to a maximum width and/or height,
without changing the window's aspect ratio.
--autofit-larger=WxH does the same, but only if the video size is
actually larger than the window size that would result when using
the --autofit=WxH option with the same arguments.
This also means the option is verified on program start, not when the VO
is created. The actual code becomes a bit more complex, because the
screen width/height is not available at program start.
The actual parsing code is still the same, with its unusual sscanf()
usage.
This printed per-frame statistics into a file, like bitrate or frame
type. Not very useful and accesses obscure AVCodecContext fields
(danger of deprecation/breakage), so get rid of it.
This was a "broken misfeature" according to Libav developers. It wasn't
implemented for modern codecs (like h264), and has been removed from
Libav a while ago (the AVCodecContext field has been marked as
deprecated and its value is ignored). FFmpeg still supports it, but
isn't much useful due to aforementioned reasons.
Remove the code to enable it.
Deprecate the hardware specific video codec entries (like ffh264vdpau).
Replace them with the --hwdec switch, which requests that a specific
hardware decoding API should be used. The codecs.conf entries will be
removed at a later time, but for now they are useful for testing and
compatibility.
Instead of --vc=ffh264vdpau, --hwdec=vdpau should be used.
Add a fallback if hardware decoding fails. Most hardware decoders
(including vdpau) support only a subset of h264, and having such a
fallback is supposed to enable a better user experience.
Slices allowed filtering or drawing video in horizontal bands or
blocks. This allowed working on the video in smaller units. In theory,
this could bring a performance win by lowering cache pressure, as you
didn't have to keep the whole video frame in cache while filtering,
only the slice.
In practice, the slice code path was barely used for the following
reasons:
- Multithreaded decoding with ffmpeg didn't use slices. The ffmpeg
slice callback was disabled, because it can be called from another
thread, and the mplayer video chain is not thread-safe.
- There was nothing that would turn "full" images into appropriate
slices, so slices were rarely used.
- Most filters didn't actually support slices.
On the other hand, supporting slices lead to code duplication and more
complex code in general. I made some experiments and didn't find any
actual measurable performance improvements when using slices. Even
ffmpeg removed slices based filtering from libavfilter in favor of
simpler code.
The most broken thing about the slices code path is that slices can't
be queued, like it is done for images in vo.c.
Before this commit, the --osd-* options (like --osd-font-size etc.)
configured both the OSD and subtitle font. Make them separate, and add
--sub-text-* options (like --sub-text-size etc.). Now --osd-* affects
the OSD font only, and --sub-text-* unstyled text subtitles only.
ffmpeg pretends that image attachments (such as contained in ID3v2
metadata) are video streams. It injects the attached pictures as packets
into the packet stream received with av_read_frame().
Add the --audio-display option to allow configuring whether attached
pictures should be displayed. The default behavior doesn't change
(images are displayed).
Identify video streams, that are actually image attachments, with "[P]"
in the terminal output.
Modify the default stream selection such that real video streams are
preferred over attached pictures. (This is just for robustness; I do not
know of any samples where images are added before actual video streams
and could lead to bad default stream selection with the old code.)
libavformat wants to read a full ~400KB of data to determine whether
it's really AAC. This causes slow startup with AAC web radio streams [1]
(possible due to a broken initial packet). There are similar issues
with other file formats.
Make the probe "score" (libavformat's mechanism for testing file
formats) configurable with the -lavfdtops:probescore option. This allows
lowering the amount of data read on probing. If the probe score is below
the probescore option value, demux_lavf will try to get a higher score
by feeding more data to libavformat, until the required score or the
max. probe size is reached.
Remove the lavf_preferred demuxer entry. This had a purpose in
mplayer-svn, but now there doesn't seem to be any good reason for it
to exist. Make sure that our native "good" demuxers are above
demux_lavf in demuxer_list[] instead (so that they are preferred).

When the cache fill status goes below a certain threshold, automatically
pause the player. When the cache is filled again, unpause again.
This is intended to help with streaming from http. It's better to pause
a while, rather than exposing extremely crappy behavior when packet
reads during decoding block the entire player.
In theory, we should try to increase the cache if underruns happen too
often. Unfortunately, changing the cache implementation would be very
hard, because it's insane code (forks, uses shared memory and "volatile"
etc.). So for now, this just reduces the frequency of the stuttering if
the network is absolutely too slow to play the stream in realtime.
MPlayer/mplayer2 still show DVD subtitles in gray. Depending on who you
ask, this can be considered a bug or a feature. Include rendering in
gray as explicit feature, so the user can decide what is better.
This affects all indexed sub bitmaps entering the OSD rendering path.
Currently, this means all image subs are affected by this option, but
nothing else.
Apparently the -spugauss option was popular. The code originally
implementing this is gone (scaler stuff in spudec.c). Reimplement it
using libswscale to scale and blur image subtitles if the --sub-gauss
option is set.
The code does some rather lazy padding to allow the blur to spread
pixels past the original image bounding box. (This problem exists with
normal bilinear scaling too, but is barely noticable.)
Technically, this doesn't just blur subtitles, but anything RGBA (or
indexed) that enters the OSD rendering path. But only image subtitles
produce these OSD formats currently, so no explicit check is done to
prevent blurring in other cases.
Do not load codecs.conf files located in $PREFIX/etc/mpv/ or ~/.mpv/.
There really is no use for this, other than possibly breaking things.
It's still possible to use --codecs-file explicitly to load an external
config file, and this option can be used in ~/.mpv/config.
While we're at it, remove the global codecs_file variable, and another
unused variable.
Make more aspects of the OSD font customizable. This also affects the
font used for unstyled subtitles (such as SRT), or when using the
--no-ass option. This adds back some customizability that was lost with
commit 74e7a1 (osd: use libass for OSD rendering).
Removed options:
--ass-border-color
--ass-color
--font
--subfont
--subfont-text-scale
Added options:
--osd-color
--osd-border
--osd-back-color
--osd-shadow-color
--osd-font
--osd-font-size
--osd-border-size
--osd-margin-x
--osd-margin-y
--osd-shadow-offset
--osd-spacing
--sub-scale
The font size is now specified in pixels as it would be rendered on a
window with a height of 720 pixels. OSD and subtitles are always scaled
with the window height, so specifying or expecting an absolute font
size doesn't make sense.
Such scaled pixel units are used to specify font border etc. as well.
(Note: the font size is directly passed to libass. How the fonts are
actually rasterized is outside of our control, but in theory ASS font
sizes map to "script" pixels and then are scaled to screen size.)
The default settings should be about the same, with slight difference
due to rounding to the new scales.
The OSD and subtitle fonts are not separately configurable. It has
limited use and would double the number of newly added options, which
would be more confusing than helpful. It could be easily added later,
should the need arise.
Other small details that change:
- ASS_Style.Encoding is not set to -1 for subs anymore
(assuming subs use VSFilter direction in -no-ass mode too)
- use a different WrapStyle for OSD
- ASS forced styles are not applied to OSD
The --keep-open option causes mpv not to close the current file.
Instead, it will pause, and allow the user to seek around. When
seeking beyond the end of the file, mpv does a precise seek back to
the previous last known position that produced video output.
In some corner cases, mpv might not be able to produce video output at
all, despite having created a VO. (Possibly when only 1 frame could be
decoded, but the video filter chain queues frames. Then a VO would be
created, without sending an actual video frame to the VO.) In these
cases, the VO window will not redraw, not even OSD.
Based on a patch by coax [1].
[1] http://devel.mplayer2.org/ticket/210#comment:4
Rename the -ss option to -start, and -endpos to -length. Add a -end
option. The -end option always specifies an absolute end time, as
opposed to -endpos/-length.
All these options (--start, --end, --length) now accept relative times.
Percent positions (e.g. "--start=30%") are interpreted as fractions of
the file duration. Negative times (e.g. "--start=-1:00) are interpreted
relative to the end of the file. Chapters (e.g. "--start=#3") yield the
chapter's time position.
The chapter support might be able to replace --chapter completely, but
for now I am not sure how well this works out with e.g. DVDs and BDs,
and a separate --chapter option is useful interface-wise.
The -zoom option enabled scaling with vo_x11. Remove the -zoom option,
and make its behavior default. Since vo_x11 has to use libswscale for
colorspace conversion anyway, which doesn't do actual extra scaling when
vo_x11 is run in windowed mode, there should be no speed difference with
this change.
The code removed from vf_scale attempted to scale the video to d_width/
d_height, which matters for anamorphic video and the --xy option only.
vo_x11 can handle these natively. The only case for which the removed
vf_scale code could matter is encoding with vo_lavc, but since that
didn't set VOFLAG_SWSCALE, nothing actually changes.
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.
