The --start and --end switch now accept a chapter number. The chapter
number is prefixed with '#', e.g. "--start=#2" jumps to chapter 2.
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.
(This was supposed to be added in 51503a, but apparently the fixup
commit adding it was lost in a rebase. This might also be the reason
for the mess-up fixed in 394285.)
Enable autoprobing for demux_mf, so that image files can be directly
displayed with e.g. "mpv file.jpg --pause". (The --pause switch is
needed to prevent the window from closing immediately.)
Since demux_mf doesn't have any real file format probing and goes by
file extension only, move the demuxer down the demuxer list to ensure
it's checked last. (ffmpeg's demux_mf equivalent, "image2", probes by
file extensions too, and there doesn't seem to be anything that can
probe typical image file formats from binary data.)
Remove the --mf "w" and "h" suboptions. Don't pass the width/height to
the video stream header. Both of these are useless, because the decoder
reads the real image size at a later point from the file headers.
Remove setting the BITMAPINFOHEADER as well, as vd_lavc doesn't need
this.
Enable --correct-pts by default. This fixes displaying a single image
with vo_vdpau (as mentioned by uau).
Keep around a pointer to the sh_video stream header instead of
accessing demuxer->video->sh_video. Fixes a crash when deselecting the
video track.
Note that the format probing is incorrect when opening images from HTTP
locations. File extensions don't have to match the actual file format.
A correct implementation would require to check the MIME type, or to
probe the binary data correctly.
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].

sub_remove remove an external subtitle track, for whatever this may be
needed.
sub_reload removes and re-adds an external subtitle track.
Also rename sub_load to sub_add, because that seems to be more in line
with sub_remove.
"--autosub-match" is close to "--autosub", and reflects what this
option does slightly better. Replace the magic number option values
with choices:
--sub-fuzziness=0 becomes --autosub-match=exact
--sub-fuzziness=1 becomes --autosub-match=fuzzy
--sub-fuzziness=2 becomes --autosub-match=all
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.
Remove the code that attempted to read cookie files from well-known
browser locations. This code was written for ancient browsers, and only
knew about Mozilla and Netscape. While it's possible that these browsers
are still alive and still use the same config locations and cookie file
formats, the only Mozilla-based browser that still matters is Firefox.
Firefox uses a sqlite database for cookies, located in a slightly
different config path.
Just remove this code.
This wasn't actually used since the old gray-alpha OSD rendering has
been removed. Removing the documentation for the vo_opengl_old osdcolor
suboption was forgotten as well.
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.
To simplify implementation, the same filter kernel was used for both
directions, even when the scaling factors were different. It turns
out that people actually did this, and that the resulting rendering
errors were rather visible. Disable this feature by default, as
fixing it would require structural changes, and it's a useless anyway.
The -ni option does something with the AVI demuxer only.
Also fix misleading error messages when the packet queue overflows (it
suggests using -ni, which in the typical case of playing NI AVI files
will not work, as demux_lavf is used by default).
This controlled the generation of the palette for DVD subs if no palette
was found. The option name and description is confusing, and it was
probably barely useful. Remove the option, and hardcode the behavior to
the option's default value.
The code for this option attempted to emulate the old as-documented
behavior. It wasn't very good at it, and now that the old OSD code has
been removed, it's entirely pointless.
This removes the factor 1.7 with which --subfont-text-scale was
multiplied.
Most of these cased working when the OSD was switched to libass, or
didn't do anything even before that.
Also don't recursively include subreader.h in sub.h.
This reflects the fact that this filter now renders all types of
subtitles, not just ASS subtitles.
Always compile this filter, not just on CONFIG_ASS.
Note that --no-ass still disables auto-inserting this filter. It's the
only way to disable auto-insertion, so keep it even though it's not
really ASS specific anymore. --no-ass also disables using libass for
rendering text subs directly.
Fix the "grammar" of such commands to be hopefully less confusing. Also,
add the "-" for such arguments, which skips optional arguments without
changing their default value.
Also change some mentions of "mplayer" to "mpv".
"screenshot" now maps to "screenshot subtitles" by default, instead of
"screenshot video". Swap the argument order: the more useful argument
should come first. Remove the compatibility aliases for numeric choices
(e.g. "screenshot 1 0" won't work anymore).
This adds a new screenshot mode "subtitles", which basically takes the
video frame as decoded, and renders subtitles into it.
This may fail for some pixel formats, because libswscale sucks. If this
becomes ever a real problem, the code could be changed to convert the
image to RGBA first (or whatever the image writer wants), and then
render the subtitles into it. This would avoid the additional image
copy needed with vo_xv too. But for now, it seems better to go with the
current method in the common case: vo_opengl creates an image copy
anyway, and drawing bitmaps to yv12 is better, as no color space
conversion is involved in draw_bmp.c's up/downsampling conversion.
Remove VFCTRL_DRAW_OSD, VFCAP_EOSD_FILTER, VFCAP_EOSD_RGBA, VFCAP_EOSD,
VOCTRL_DRAW_EOSD, VOCTRL_GET_EOSD_RES, VOCTRL_QUERY_EOSD_FORMAT.
Remove draw_osd_with_eosd(), which rendered the OSD by calling
VOCTRL_DRAW_EOSD. Change VOs to call osd_draw() directly, which takes
a callback as argument. (This basically works like the old OSD API,
except multiple OSD bitmap formats are supported and caching is
possible.)
Remove all mentions of "eosd". It's simply "osd" now.
Make OSD size per-OSD-object, as they can be different when using
vf_sub. Include display_par/video_par in resolution change detection.
Fix the issue with margin borders in vo_corevideo.
To ease changing all the VOs to the new OSD rendering, fallbacks,
conversions, support code etc. was left all over the code. Now that
all VOs have been changed, all that code is inactive. Remove it.
Strip down spudec.c. We don't need the old grayscale and scaling stuff
anymore. (Not removing spudec itself yet - I'm not confident that the
libavcodec DVD sub decoder is sufficient, and it would also require
some hacks to get DVD palette and resolution information from libdvdread
to libavcodec.)
The option --spuaa, --spualign, --spugauss were used with the old sub
scaling code, and don't do anything anymore.
This was an extremely obscure setting, as it was used only with vo_gl
if its scaled-osd suboption was used. If you really want this, you can
set the desired ass-hinting value directly, and there will be literally
no loss in functionality.
Note that this didn't actually test whether the EOSD was scaled.
Basically, it only checked whether vo_gl had the scaled-osd suboption
set.
Useless. It complicated the code and caused flicker, and was useless
otherwise. The manpage describes this option as "should not normally
be used".
One possibly useful effect from the point of view of the user was that
vsync was disabled. You can do this with the --vsync option, or by
changing X/driver settings directly.
In input test mode, key bindings won't be executed, but are shown on the
OSD. The OSD includes various information, such as the name of the key,
the command itself, whether it's builtin, and the config file location
it was defined.
The input test mode can be enabled with "--input=test". No effort is
spent trying to react to key bindings that normally exit the player;
they are treated just like any other binding.
Clean up handling of libquvi (which resolves URLs of streaming sites
into URLs to the actual media playable by mpv). Move the code out of
open.c to quvi.c, and invoke it explicitly from mplayer.c, instead of
trying to resolve every filename passed to open_stream().
This allows easily passing metadata from the quvi context to the
frontend. Expose QUVIPROP_PAGETITLE as "media-title" property, and use
that instead of "filename" for the mplayer window title. (For YouTube,
this is the video title.) It's cleaner too.
Handle a potential reliability issue: check quvi_getprop return values.
Since open.c contains barely anything but the open_stream() stub, move
that to stream.c and delete open.c.
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.)
Allow the values "up" and "down" as step argument for the cycle input
command. Previously, this argument was a float, which specified an
arbitrary step value and direction (similar to the add command).
Instead of "1" and "-1", "up" and "down" is to be used.
Float values are still accepted. That capability might be removed in the
future, as there's probably hardly any actual use for arbitrary step
values.
There are a number of options which modify ASS subtitle rendering. Most
of these do things that can interfere with the styling done by subtitle
scripts, resulting in incorrect rendering. Add the --ass-style-override
option to make it easy to disable all overrides. This helps trouble-
shooting, and makes it more practical to use the override features. (You
can simply toggle the ass-style-override property at runtime, should
one of the style override options break subtitle rendering at a certain
point.)
This mainly affects whether most --ass-* options are applied, as well
as --sub-pos. Some things, like explicit style overrides loaded with
--ass-force-style, can't be changed at runtime using the
ass-style-override property.
Replaces the status line with a custom string.
This is probably useful for hacking old slave mode applications into
working again. Even if not, this might be generally useful.
