Directories were always loaded recursively, which can be slow
(e.g. one of the subdirectories is a mounting point to a slow device)
and can unexpectedly expand into a massive playlist.
Due to the problems described in 503dada42f,
this defaults to recursive loading.

--no-config should prevent loading user files of any type: configs,
cache, etc. For cache files, this case wasn't properly handled and it
was assumed they would always get something. vo_gpu's shader cache
actually already handles this, so it was left untouched. In theory,
demuxer cache should never have this issue because saving it to disk is
disabled by default (and likely that will never change), but go ahead
and change it for consistency's sake. Fixes some segfaults with
--no-config and various combinations of settings (particularly
--vo=gpu-next).
4502522a7a changed the way mpv handled and
saved cached files. In particular, it made a separate boolean option for
actually enabling cache and left the *-dir options as purely just a path
(i.e. having a dir set didn't mean you save cache). This technically
regressed people's configs, so let's just turn the cache on by default.
Linux users already expect random stuff in ~/.cache and well everyone
else can just live with some files possibly appearing in their config
directory.
Add an option for allowing pointer events to pass through the mpv
window. This could be useful in cases where a user wants to display
transparent images/video with mpv and interact with applications beneath
the window. This commit implements this functionality for x11 and
wayland. Note that whether or not this actually works likely depends on
your window manager and/or compositor. E.g. sway ignores pointer events
but the entire window becomes draggable when you float it (nothing under
the mpv window receives events). Weston behaves as expected however so
that is a compositor bug. Excuse the couple of completely unrelated
style fixes (both were originally done by me).
Notes:
- converts the (image) write() api to filenames, because using avio
with FILE* is a pain.
- adds more debug logs for screenshots.
build: rename av1 dependency to avif_muxer
wscript: unify lavf dependency with meson
Today, the only way to make mpv consider multiple hwdecs and pick the
first one that works is to use one of the `auto` modes. But the list
that is considered in those cases is hard-coded. If the user wants to
provide their own list, they are out of luck.
And I think that there is now a significant reason to support this -
the new Vulkan hwdec is definitely not ready to be in the auto list,
but if you want to use it by default, it will not work with many codecs
that are normally hardware decodable (only h.264, hevc and av1 if you
are very lucky). Everything else will fall back to software decoding.
Instead, what you really want to say is: use Vulkan for whatever it
supports, and fall back to my old hwdec for everything else.
One side-effect of this implementation is that you can freely mix
hwdec names and special values like `auto` and `no`. The behaviour will
be correct, so I didn't try and prohibit any combinations. However,
some combinations will be silly - eg: sticking any further values after
`no` will result in them being ignored. On the other hand, a
combination like `vulkan,auto` could be very useful as that will use
Vulkan if possible, and if not, run the normal auto routine.
Fixes#11797
Some platforms (wayland) apparently have a lot of trouble with drag and
drop. The default behavior is still the same which is basically obeying
what we get from the window manager/compositor, but the --drag-and-drop
option allows forcibly overriding the drag and drop behavior. i.e. you
can force it to always replace the playlist or append at the end. This
only implements this in X11 and Wayland but in theory windows and macos
could find this option useful (both hardcode the shift key for
appending). Patches welcome.
It is worth adding this example because it has been asked multiple times
in the issue tracker and the IRC channel.
string.find() is used because it's 20 times faster than string.match().
Vulkan Video Decoding has finally become a reality, as it's now
showing up in shipping drivers, and the ffmpeg support has been
merged.
With that in mind, this change introduces HW interop support for
ffmpeg Vulkan frames. The implementation is functionally complete - it
can display frames produced by hardware decoding, and it can work with
ffmpeg vulkan filters. There are still various caveats due to gaps and
bugs in drivers, so YMMV, as always.
Primary testing has been done on Intel, AMD, and nvidia hardware on
Linux with basic Windows testing on nvidia.
Notable caveats:
* Due to driver bugs, video decoding on nvidia does not work right now,
unless you use the Vulkan Beta driver. It can be worked around, but
requires ffmpeg changes that are not considered acceptable to merge.
* Even if those work-arounds are applied, Vulkan filters will not work
on video that was decoded by Vulkan, due to additional bugs in the
nvidia drivers. The filters do work correctly on content decoded some
other way, and then uploaded to Vulkan (eg: Decode with nvdec, upload
with --vf=format=vulkan)
* Vulkan filters can only be used with drivers that support
VK_EXT_descriptor_buffer which doesn't include Intel ANV as yet.
There is an MR outstanding for this.
* When dealing with 1080p content, there may be some visual distortion
in the bottom lines of frames due to chroma scaling incorporating the
extra hidden lines at the bottom of the frame (1080p content is
actually stored as 1088 lines), depending on the hardware/driver
combination and the scaling algorithm. This cannot be easily
addressed as the mechanical fix for it violates the Vulkan spec, and
probably requires a spec change to resolve properly.
All of these caveats will be fixed in either drivers or ffmpeg, and so
will not require mpv changes (unless something unexpected happens)
If you want to run on nvidia with the non-beta drivers, you can this
ffmpeg tree with the work-around patches:

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.

This finally allows us to put any user defined options into the
CONFIGURATION variable like what waf does. The arbitrary hardcoded
fallback is left in place for old meson versions. Also update the
documentation in regards to the mpv-configuration variable to be
relevant to meson.
Instead of erroring when values returned by profile-cond expressions
aren't booleans, apply the relative profiles as long as the return
values are truthy. This allows shortening conditions like
profile-cond=path:match('foo') ~= nil
to
profile-cond=path:match('foo')
The playlist title only got set when it was specified in the playlist
file.
If there is a title after opening a file, that should also be reflected
in the playlist.
This reworks all of mpv's unit tests so they are compiled as separate
executables (optional) and run via meson test. Because most of the tests
are dependant on mpv's internals, existing compiled objects are
leveraged to create static libs and used when necessary. As an aside, a
function was moved into video/out/gpu/utils for sanity's sake (otherwise
most of vo would have been needed). As a plus, meson multithreads
running tests automatically and also the output no longer pollutes the
source directory. There are tests that can break due to ffmpeg changes,
so they require a specific minimum libavutil version to be built.
Since meson has its own unit testing system, let's rework mpv's tests so
they integrate nicely with this. To prepare for this, start off by
dropping the unittest option. Of course, this means that tests will no
longer be supported in the waf build at all but it will be dropped
anyway. Note that the tests option is preserved for the meson build. We
will still make use of this in the future commits.
mpv's window resizing logic always automatically resized the window
whenever the video resolution changed (i.e. advancing forward in a
playlist). This simply introduces the option to make this behavior
configurable. Every windowing backend would need to implement this
behavior in their code since a reconfigure event must always be a
resize. The params of the frame changed so you either have to resize the
window to the new size of the params or make the params the same size as
the window. This commit implements it for wayland, win32, and x11.
These options make it possible to specify the directory that will be
passed to ass_set_fonts_dir(), akin to VLC's `--ssa-fontsdir` and
FFmpeg's `fontsdir`.
Fixes#8338
This returns the value of the target OS that mpv was built on as
reported by the build system. It is quite conceivable that script
writers and API users would need to make OS-dependent choices in some
cases. Such people end up writing boilerplate/hacks to guess what OS
they are on. Assuming you trust the build system (if you don't, we're in
really deep trouble), then mpv actually knows exactly what OS it was
built on. Simply take this information at configuration time, make it a
define, and let mp_property_platform return the value.
Note that mpv has two build systems (waf and meson), so the names of the
detected OSes may not be exactly the same. Since meson is the newer
build system, the value of this property follows meson's naming
conventions*. In the waf build, there is a small function to map known
naming deviations to match meson (i.e. changing "win32" to "windows").
waf's documentation is a nightmare to follow, but it seems to simply
take the output of sys.platform in python and strip away any trailing
numbers if they exist (exception being win32 and os2)*.
