Conflicts with the "playlist-pos" property. They're really a bit too
different, and since the --playlist-pos option is relatively new and
obscure, just rename it to get this out of the way.
This also lets you just do "mpv --hwdec file.mkv", with the minor caveat
that the legacy syntax "--hwdec val" or "-hwdec val" (without "=") does
not work as expected anymore.
Minimal support just for testing.
Only the window surface creation (including size determination) is
really platform specific, so this could be some generic thing with
platform-specific support as some sort of sub-driver, but on the other
hand I don't see much of a need for such a thing.
While most of the fbdev usage is done by the EGL driver, using this
fbdev ioctl is apparently the only way to get the display resolution.
The cuvid decoder already knows how to copy back to system memory
if NV12 frames are requested, and this will happen if the decoder
is used without the hwdec.
For convenience, let's add a wrapper hwdec so people don't have
to explicitly pick the cuvid decoder if they want this behaviour.
And introduce a global option which does this. Or more precisely, this
deprecates the global wasapi and coreaudio options, and adds a new one
that merges their functionality. (Due to the way the sub-option
deprecation mechanism works, this is simpler.)
Whitelisting supported codecs is (probably) still better than just
allowing everything, given the weird FFmpeg API. I'm also assuming
Libav doesn't even have the codec ID, but I didn't check.
Also add a --teletext-page option, since otherwise it decodes every
teletext page and shows them in succession.
And yes, we can't use av_opt_set_int() - instead we have to set it as
string. Because FFmpeg's option system is terrible.
vo_opengl sub-option were always rather annoying to handle. It seems
better to make them global options instead. This is simpler and easier
to use. The only disadvantage we are aware of is that it's not clear
that many/all of these new global options work with vo_opengl only.
--vo=opengl-hq is also deprecated.
There is extensive compatibility with the old behavior. One exception is
that --vo-defaults will not apply to opengl-hq (though with opengl it
still works). vo-cmdline is also dysfunctional and will be removed in a
following commit.
These changes also affect opengl-cb.
The update mechanism is still rather inefficient: it requires syncing
with the VO after each option change, rather than batching updates.
There's also no granularity (video.c just updates "everything", and if
auto-ICC profiles are enabled, vo_opengl.c will fetch them on each
update).
Most of the manpage changes were done by Niklas Haas <git@haasn.xyz>.
Now options are accessible through the property list as well, which
unifies them to a degree.
Not all options support runtime changes (meaning affected components
need to be restarted for the options to take effects). Remove from the
manpage those properties which are cleanly mapped to options anyway.
From the user-perspective they're just options available through the
property interface.
Instead, add a hacky OPT_ASPECT option type, which only exists to accept
a "no" parameter, which in combination with the "--no-..." handling code
makes --no-video-aspect work again.
We can also remove the code in m_config.c, which only existed to make
"--no-aspect" (a deprecated alias) to work.
The client API can do this (and there are apparently some libmpv using
projects which rely on this). But it's just unnecessary bloat as it
requires a separate code path from the option parser. It would be better
to remove this code. Formally deprecate it, including API bump and
warning in the API changes file to make it really clear.
Normally, OSD can be disabled with --osd-level=0. But this also disables
terminal OSD, and some users want _only_ the terminal OSD. Add
--video-osd=no, which essentially disables the video OSD.
Ideally, it should probably be possible to control terminal and video
OSD levels independently, but that would require separate OSD timers
(and other state) for both components, so don't do it. But because the
current situation isn't too ideal, add a threat to the manpage that
might be changed in the future.
Fixes#3387.
The --image-display-duration option controls how long an image is
displayed. It's also possible to display the image forever (until manual
user interaction stops playback).
With this, the core drops the old method to "drain" video (i.e. waiting
for the last frame duration on end of playback). Instead, we reuse
MPContext.time_frame. The old mechanism was disabled for non-images
anyway.
Fixes#3425.
This commit adds an --audio-channel=auto-safe mode, and makes it the
default. This mode behaves like "auto" with most AOs, except with
ao_alsa. The intention is to allow multichannel output by default on
sane APIs. ALSA is not sane as in it's so low level that it will e.g.
configure any layout over HDMI, even if the connected A/V receiver does
not support it. The HDMI fuckup is of course not ALSA's fault, but other
audio APIs normally isolate applications from dealing with this and
require the user to globally configure the correct output layout.
This will help with other AOs too. ao_lavc (encoding) is changed to the
new semantics as well, because it used to force stereo (perhaps because
encoding mode is supposed to produce safe files for crap devices?).
Exclusive mode output on Windows might need to be adjusted accordingly,
as it grants the same kind of low level access as ALSA (requires more
research).
In addition to the things mentioned above, the --audio-channels option
is extended to accept a set of channel layouts. This is supposed to be
the correct way to configure mpv ALSA multichannel output. You need to
put a list of channel layouts that your A/V receiver supports.
mixer.c didn't really deserve to be separate anymore, as half of its
contents were unnecessary glue code after recent changes. It also
created a weird split between audio.c and af.c due to the fact that
mixer.c could insert audio filters. With the code being in audio.c
directly, together with other code that unserts filters during runtime,
it will be possible to cleanup this code a bit and make it work like the
video filter code.
As part of this change, make the balance code work like the volume code,
and add an option to back the current balance value. Also, since the
balance semantics are unexpected for most users (panning between the
audio channels, instead of just changing the relative volume), and there
are some other volumes, formally deprecate both the old property and the
new option.
Old-style commands using _ as separator (e.g. show_progress) were still
used in some places, including documentation and configuration files.
This commit updates all such instances to the new style (show-progress)
so that commands are easier to find in the manual.
Drop the code for switching the volume options and properties between
af_volume and AO volume controls. interface-changes.rst mentions the
changes in detail.
Do this because this was exceedingly complex and had other problems as
well. It was also very hard to test. It's just not worth the trouble.
Some leftovers like AOCONTROL_HAS_PER_APP_VOLUME will be removed at a
later point.
Fixes#3322.
Until now, we've always converted vdpau video surfaces to RGB, and then
mapped the resulting RGB texture. Change this so that the surface is
mapped as NV12 plane textures.
The reason this wasn't done until now is because vdpau surfaces are
mapped in an "interlaced" way as separate fields, even for progressive
video. This requires messy reinterleraving. It turns out that even
though it's an extra processing step, the result can be faster than
going through the video mixer for RGB conversion.
Other than some potential speed-gain, doing this has multiple other
advantages. We can apply our own color conversion, which is important in
more complex cases. We can correctly apply debanding and potentially
other processing that requires chroma-specific or in-YUV handling.
If deinterlacing is enabled, this switches back to the old RGB
conversion method. Until we have at least a primitive deinterlacer in
vo_opengl, this will stay this way. The d3d11 and vaapi code paths are
similar. (Of course these don't require any crazy field reinterleaving.)
This uses the normal autoprobing rules like "auto", but rejects anything
that isn't flagged as copying data back to system memory.
The chunk in command.c was dead code, so remove it instead of updating
it.
Add --taskbar-progress command line option and property which controls taskbar
progress indication rendering in Windows 7+. This option is on by default and
can be toggled during playback.
This option does not affect the creation process of ITaskbarList3. When the
option is turned off the progress bar is just hidden with TBPF_NOPROGRESS.
Closes#2535
