The current peak detection algorithm was very bugged (which contributed
to the excessive cross-frame flicker without long normalization) and
also didn't take into account the frame average brightness level.
The new algorithm both takes into account frame average brightness (in
addition to peak brightness), and also computes the values in a more
stable/correct way. (The old path was basically undefined behavior)
In addition to improving the algorithm, we also switch to hable tone
mapping by default, and try to enable peak computation automatically
whever possible (compute shaders + SSBOs supported). We also make the
desaturation milder, after extensive testing during libplacebo
development.
I also had to compensate a bit for the representational differences
between mpv and libplacebo (libplacebo treats 1.0 as the reference peak,
but mpv treats it as the nominal peak), but it shouldn't have caused any
problems.
This is still not quite the same as libplacebo, since libplacebo also
allows tagging the desired scene average brightness on the output, and
it also supports reading the scene average brightness from static
metadata (MaxFALL) where available. But those changes are a bit more
involved. It's possible we could also read this from metadata in the
future, but we have problems communicating with AVFrames as it is and I
don't want to touch the mpv colorimetry structs for the time being.
Similar to the previous commit, and for the same reasons. Unlike with
af_scaletempo, resampling does not have a natural frame size, so we set
an arbitrary size limit on output frames. We add a new option to control
this size, although I'm not sure whether anyone will use it, so mark it
for testing only.
Note that we go through some effort to avoid buffering data in
libswresample itself. One reason is that we might have to reinitialize
the resampler completely when changing speed, which drops the buffered
data. Another is that I'm not sure whether the resampler will do the
right thing when applying dynamic speed changes.
MPlayer used this to distinguish multiple decoder wrappers (such as
libavcodec vs. binary codec loader vs. builtin decoders). It lost
meaning in mpv as non-libavcodec things were dropped. Now it doesn't
serve any purpose anymore.
Parsing was removed quite a while ago, and the recent filter change
removed any use of the internal family field. Get rid of it.
FFmpeg only suppports http proxies and ignores it if
the resulting url is https. Also, no SOCKS.
Use it like `--ytdl-raw-options=proxy=[http://127.0.0.1:3128]` so
it doesn't confuse mpv because of the colons.
You need to pass it as an option because youtube-dl doesn't give
us the proxy.
Or just set `http_proxy` environment variable as recommended before.
Added example using -append, which doesn't need escaping.
Get rid of the old vf.c code. Replace it with a generic filtering
framework, which can potentially handle more than just --vf. At least
reimplementing --af with this code is planned.
This changes some --vf semantics (including runtime behavior and the
"vf" command). The most important ones are listed in interface-changes.
vf_convert.c is renamed to f_swscale.c. It is now an internal filter
that can not be inserted by the user manually.
f_lavfi.c is a refactor of player/lavfi.c. The latter will be removed
once --lavfi-complex is reimplemented on top of f_lavfi.c. (which is
conceptually easy, but a big mess due to the data flow changes).
The existing filters are all changed heavily. The data flow of the new
filter framework is different. Especially EOF handling changes - EOF is
now a "frame" rather than a state, and must be passed through exactly
once.
Another major thing is that all filters must support dynamic format
changes. The filter reconfig() function goes away. (This sounds complex,
but since all filters need to handle EOF draining anyway, they can use
the same code, and it removes the mess with reconfig() having to predict
the output format, which completely breaks with libavfilter anyway.)
In addition, there is no automatic format negotiation or conversion.
libavfilter's primitive and insufficient API simply doesn't allow us to
do this in a reasonable way. Instead, filters can use f_autoconvert as
sub-filter, and tell it which formats they support. This filter will in
turn add actual conversion filters, such as f_swscale, to perform
necessary format changes.
vf_vapoursynth.c uses the same basic principle of operation as before,
but with worryingly different details in data flow. Still appears to
work.
The hardware deint filters (vf_vavpp.c, vf_d3d11vpp.c, vf_vdpaupp.c) are
heavily changed. Fortunately, they all used refqueue.c, which is for
sharing the data flow logic (especially for managing future/past
surfaces and such). It turns out it can be used to factor out most of
the data flow. Some of these filters accepted software input. Instead of
having ad-hoc upload code in each filter, surface upload is now
delegated to f_autoconvert, which can use f_hwupload to perform this.
Exporting VO capabilities is still a big mess (mp_stream_info stuff).
The D3D11 code drops the redundant image formats, and all code uses the
hw_subfmt (sw_format in FFmpeg) instead. Although that too seems to be a
big mess for now.
f_async_queue is unused.
Restores behaviour prior to aef2ed5dc1.
That change was apparently unpopular. However, given the amount of
complaining over how hard it is to change the defaults by rebinding every
key, I think the extra option introduced by this commit is justified.
Technically not all behaviour is restored, because now --no-osd-bar will
not instead display the msg text on seek. I think that feature was a
little weird and is now easy enough to remedy with the --osd-on-seek
option.
This reverts commit 9812e276aa.
This was apparently unpopular. I still think the pause OSD should be the
same as seek even if it's not visible by default, but it seems that
whether to display a given property change is currently conflated with
what to display.
The reverted behaviour can be restored by adding something like the
following to input.conf:
SPACE cycle pause; show_progress
Requested. See manpage additions.
The main reason why this goes through the trouble to keep the
action/operation parameter separate is so that we don't expose some
option parser implementation details to the command (although that is a
relatively weak reason), and also to make it more different from the
"set" command, which can't support this type of option as it goes
through the property layer.
Fixes#5435.
And use it for 2 demuxer options. It could be used for more options
later. (Though the --cache options can not use this, because they use KB
as base unit.)
This commit introduces the multiply-pitch af-command. Users may bind
keys to this command in order to incrementally adjust the pitch of a
track. This will probably mostly be useful for musicians trying to
transpose up and down by semi tones without having to calculate
the correct ratio beforehand.
As an example, here is an input.conf to test this feature:
{ af-command all multiply-pitch 0.9438743126816935
} af-command all multiply-pitch 1.059463094352953
The future direction might be not having such a user-visible filter at
all, similar to how vf_scale went away (or actually, redirects to
libavfilter's vf_scale).
This is part of trying to get rid of --af-defaults, and the af
resample filter.
It requires a complicated mechanism to set the defaults on the resample
filter for backwards compatibility.
With the recent changes to the script it does not incur a startup delay
by default due to starting youtube-dl and waiting for it. This was the
main reason for making libmpv have a different default.
Starting sub processes from a library can still be a bit fishy, but I
think it's ok. Still mention it in the libmpv header. There were already
other cases where libmpv would start its own processes, such as the X11
backend calling xdg-screensaver. (The reason why this is fishy is
because UNIX process management sucks: SIGCHLD and the wait() syscall
make sub processes non-transparent and could potentially introduce
conflicts with code trying to use them.)
Previously, toggling pause would generate no osd response, and changing
that wasn't even configurable. This was surprising to users who
generally expect to see *where* pause / unpause is taking place (#3028).
The previous default was osd-bar (unless the user specified
--no-osd-bar, in which case case it was osd-msg). Aside from requiring
some twisted logic to implement, this surprised users since osd-msg3
wasn't displayed when seeking with the keyboard (#3028), so the time
seeked to was never displayed.
Before this commit, some autoselection of tracks coming from files
loaded with --external-files was still done. This commit removes all of
it, and the only way to select a track is via the explicit stream
selection options like --vid/--sid/--aid.
I think this was always the original intention. The change could in
theory still unintentionally surprise some users, so add a changelog
entry.
This does not affect --audio-file/--sub-file, even if these contain
mismatching track types. E.g. if audio files passed to --audio-file
contain subtitles, these should still be selected. Past feature requests
indicate that users want this.
This enables DXVA2 hardware decoding with ra_d3d11. It should be useful
for Windows 7, where D3D11VA is not available. Images are transfered
from D3D9 to D3D11 using D3D9Ex surface sharing[1].
Following Microsoft's recommendations, it uses a queue of shared
surfaces, similar to Microsoft's ISurfaceQueue. This will hopefully
prevent surface sharing from impacting parallelism and allow multiple
D3D11 frames to be in-flight at once.

Reasons why you'd want this see manpage additions. Disabled by default,
because it would increase latency of live streams by default. (Or well,
at least it would be another problem when trying getting lower latency.)
This tried to be clever by waiting for a longer time each time the
buffer was underrunning, or shorter if it was getting better. I think
this was pretty weird behavior and makes no sense. If the user really
wants the stream to buffer longer, he/she/it can just pause the player
(the network caches will continue to be filled until they're full).
Every time I actually noticed this code triggering in my own use, I
didn't find it helpful. Apart from that it was pretty hard to test.
Some waiting is needed to avoid that the player just plays the available
data as fast as possible (to compensate for late frames and underrunning
audio). Just use a fixed wait time, which can now be controlled by the
new --cache-pause-wait option.
Was only available with --demuxer-lavf-format=help and the demuxer
needed to be used for it to actually print the list.
This can be used in the future to check if 'dash' support was compiled
with FFmpeg so ytdl_hook can use it instead. For now, dashdec is too
rudimentary to be used right away.
Uses the EGL width/height by default when the user fails to set
the android-surface-width/android-surface-height options.
This means the vo-resize command is optional, and does not need to
be implemented on android devices which do not support rotation.

Technically, the user could just use --vd-lavc-o with the same result.
But I find it better to make this an explicit option, so we can document
the ups and downs, and also avoid setting it for non-h264.
This commit introduces a new --oset-metadata key-value-list option,
allowing the user to specify output metadata when encoding
(eg. --oset-metadata=title="Hello",comment="World").
A second option --oremove-metadata is added to exclude existing metadata
from the output file (assuming --ocopy-metadata is enabled).
Not all output formats support all tags, but luckily libavcodec
simply discards unsupported keys.
--copy-metadata describes the result of the option better, (copying metadata
from the source file to the output file). Marks the old --no-ometadata
OPT_REMOVED with a suggestion for the new --no-ocopy-metadata.
