With the recent addition of the libxpresent, it should improve frame
timings for most users. However, there were known cases of bad behavior
(Nvidia) which lead to a construction of a whitelist instead of just
enabling this all the time. Since there's no way to predict whatever
combination of hardware/drivers/etc. may work correctly, just give users
an option to switch the usage of xorg's presentation statistics on/off.
The default value, auto, works like before (basically, Mesa drivers and
no Nvidia are allowed), but now one can force it on/off if needed.
The `absolute` value was incorrectly labelled as the default instead of
the value named `default`, which was somewhat confusing. When the newer
default option was added in 679e410 it seems like wm4 forgot to remove
the label in the manual on the previous default.
This driver makes use of dmabuffer and viewporter interfaces
to enable efficient display of vaapi surfaces, avoiding
any unnecessary colour space conversion, and avoiding scaling
or colour conversion using GPU shader resources.
Add Jpeg XL as a possible output format for screenshots, which
should make it possible to take fast screenshots with much better
quality than JPEG, or take lossless high-bit-depth screenshots
with lower file sizes than PNG.
- Say built-in which is more common than builtin
- Move "By default" because only the key to open the console is
customizable, and fix the punctuation and case of the sentence
- ` opens the console, not ´
- Remove the sentences that explains which user script console.lua is
based on since it's no longer relevant now that the console has been
part of mpv for over 2 years.
Now that a separate --cover-art-whitelist option exists, files like
cover.jpg are loaded even without setting --cover-art-auto to fuzzy, so
only load files that have exactly the media filename by default, since
fuzzy loading is probably more likely to load unwanted images than to
load cover art that the user intended to display, especially if you play
audio files with a short filename like a.mp3.
This allows more fine grained control over which cover art to load. With
--cover-art-auto=exact and --cover-art-whitelist=yes, you can now load
cover art with the exact media filename and the whitelisted filenames,
but not cover art that contains the media filename
(--cover-art-auto=fuzzy).
This adds a section to the documentation to explain how resuming
playback works, and in particular it explains how it affects which
playlist entry mpv starts playing from, since this feature was only
implied in the --playlist-start documentation.
It also groups the documentation of the watch later options together to
make them easier to find.
The documentation's current discussion of hwdec usage is out of date,
and unnecessarily pessemistic when applied to modern hardware. The
reality is that modern APIs on modern hardware produce reasonable
results and there's no need to pretend otherwise. The current language
that tries to drive people away from using hwdecs at all leads to them
making bad choices when they do try to use it.
Let's also make it clearer that users should use vo=gpu with hwdecs
rather than vo=vaapi or vo=vdpau. Even the existing admonitions have
proven insufficient, so let's strengthen that language.
The stop-screensaver option is currently limited to a simple yes/no
option. While the no option does always disable mpv trying to stop the
screensaver, yes does not mean the screensaver is always stopped. The
screensaver will be enabled again depending on certain conditions (like
if the player is paused). Simply introduce a new value for this option,
always, which does exactly what the name implies: the screensaver will
always be disabled.
Previously, the sub-visibility option changed the visibility of all
subtitles including secondary ones. This meant that it was not possible
to only display secondary subtitles while hiding the primary ones. This
modifies the sub-visibility option so that it only affects primary
subtitles which allows only secondary subtitles to be displayed.
This reverts commit 04f0b0abe4.
It's not a good idea to unify the names only for visibility, while
keeping secondary-* for everything else.
This needs a bit more thought before we allow secondary sub to be
visible on its own.
Adds --sub-visibility choices 'primary-only' for only displaying the
primary subtitle track, and 'secondary-only' for only displaying
secondary subtitle track.
Removes --secondary-sub-visibility and displays a message telling the
user to use --sub-visibility=yes/primary-only instead.
These changes make it so that the default 'sub-visibility' bind 'v'
cycles through all the 'sub-visibility' choices, 'no', 'yes',
'primary-only', and 'secondary-only'.
This merges the old desaturation control options into a single
enumeration, with the goal of both simplifying how these options work
and also making this list more extensible (including, notably, new
options only supported by vo_gpu_next).
For the hybrid option, I decided to port the (slightly tweaked) values
from libplacebo's pre-refactor defaults, rather than the old values we
had in mpv, to more visually match the look of the vo_gpu_next hybrid.
Merge --gamut-clipping and --gamut-warning into a single option,
--gamut-mapping-mode, better corresponding to the new vo_gpu_next APIs
and allowing us to easily extend this option as new modes are added in
the future.
Completely untested, since Linux still can't into HDR in 2021. Somebody
please make sure it works.
Technically covers #8219, since gpu-context=drm can be combined with
vo=gpu-next.
Looking at this again I'm not sure it does anything useful at all. The
man page entry is also wrong: `bicubic` is not affected, only
`bicubic_fast`, and those filters are not configurable anyways.
So this would only ever be a debugging option, and I don't see a
pressing need for it.
No interface-change.rst update because it only just got added anyways.
As discussed in #8799, this will eventually replace vo_gpu. However, it
is not yet complete. Currently missing:
- OpenGL contexts
- hardware decoding
- blend-subtitles=video
- VOCTRL_SCREENSHOT
However, it's usable enough to cover most use cases, and as such is
enough to start getting in some crucial testing.
As the documentation of the toggle says - the implementation can (and
will actually if they follow the GLX/EGL spec) return context version
greater than the one requested.
This happens with all Mesa drivers that I've tested as well as the
Nvidia binary drivers.
This toggle seems like a workaround for buggy drivers, yet it's lacking
context about the vendor and version.
Remove it for now - I'll be happy to reinstate it (partially or in full)
as we get concrete details.
This allows us to simplify ra_gl_ctx_test_version() making the whole
context creation business easier to follow by mere mortals.

This is similar to [no-]input-default-bindings, but affects only
builtin bindings (while input-default-bindings affects anything which
config files can override, like scripting mp.add_key_binding).
Arguably, this is what input-default-binding should have always done,
however, it does not.
The reason we add a new option rather than repurpose/modify the
existing option is that it behaves differently enough to raise
concerns that it will break some use cases for existing users:
- The new option is only applied once on startup, while
input-default-bindings can be modified effectively at runtime.
- They affects different sets of bindings, and it's possible that
the set of input-default-bindings is useful enough to keep.
Implementation-wise, both options are trivial, so keeping one or the
other or both doesn't affect code complexity.
It could be argued that it would be useful to make the new option
also effective for runtime changes, however, this opens a can of
worms of how the bindings are stored beyond the initial setup.
TL;DR: it's impossible to differentiate correctly at runtime between
builtin bindings, and those added with mp.add_key_bindings.
The gist is that technically mpv needs/uses two binding "classes":
- weak/builtin bindings - lower priority than config files.
- "user" bindings - config files and "forced" runtime bindings.
input-default-bindings affects the first class trivially, but
input-builtin-bindings would not be able split this class further
at runtime without meaningful changes to a lot of delicate code.
So a new option it is. It should be useful to some libmpv clients
(players) which want to disable mpv's builtin bindings without
breaking mp.add_key_bindings for scripts.
Fixes#8809
(again. the previous fix 8edfe70b only improved the docs, while
now we're actually making the requested behavior possible)
Because youtube-dl is inactive and the yt-dlp fork is becoming more
popular, make mpv use yt-dlp without any extra configuration.
yt-dlp is ordered before youtube-dl because it's more obscure, so users
who have yt-dlp installed are more likely to want to use it rather than
youtube-dl.
Fixes#9208.
The previous wording gave the false impression that there was no media
key support for OSes besides Windows and macOS. This is untrue, the
option may only exist on those two platforms but it simply means that
media keys will always be enabled on other OSes as long as they are
supported.
There's currently some touch related code in mpv wayland, but clearly
nobody actually uses because it's a broken mess. Initially an attempt to
distinguish between two finger touches and one finger touch was made,
but there's not a good way to make this work. For whatever reason,
initiating either xdg_toplevel_resize or xdg_toplevel_move blocks any
other touch events from occurring (at least in plasma). Trying to call
these functions anywhere else is not really useful since the serial will
be invalid outside of the touch down events (well it would work in the
touch up event but that's just silly).
Anyways, let's just make this work sanely. Eliminate the touch entries
variable completely because it's pointless. Only one finger event is
ever considered at a time. Touches besides the initial one are all
ignored. If a user touches and drags within the touch edge radius, then
a resize event occurs. If the user touches and drags elsewhere on the
window, a move event occurs. A single tap displays the osc (which is
clickable if you tap again). A double tap toggles fullscreen.
Additionally, the default touch edge radius of 64 pixels is way too big
(at least I think so). Cut this in half to 32 which feels a lot better
(on a pinephone using plasma mobile anyway).
Using --sub-filter-regex-plain (default:no)
The ass-to-plaintext functionality already existed at sd_ass.c, but
it's internal and uses a private buffer type, so a trivial utility
wrapper was added with standard char*/bstr interface.
The plaintext can be multi-line, and the multi-line regexp flag is now
always set, but only affects plaintext (the ASS source is one line).
Pretty much identical to filter-regex but with JS expressions and
requires only JS support. Shares the filter-regex-* control options.
The target audience is Windows users - where filter-regex doesn't
work due to missing APIs, but mujs builds cleanly on Windows, and JS
is usually enabled in 3rd party Windows mpv builds.
Lua could have been used with similar effort, however, the JS regex
syntax is more extensive and also much more similar to POSIX.
Let audio-display determine whether embedded images or external cover
art tracks should be selected when both are present.
Attached pictures are given priority by default as requested in #8539.
Also updates references to attached pictures in the log and manpage to
refer to cover art as well.
Closes#8539.
--watch-later-options-remove doesn't accept multiple options, so split
the example.
Also suggest the more correct -clr to empty the list, and remove the
workaround to not print an error with --watch-later-options=
This allows configuring which options are saved by quit-watch-later.
Fixes#4126, #4641 and #5567.
Toggling a video or audio filter twice would treat the option as changed
because the backup value is NULL, and the current value of vf/af is a
list with one empty item, so obj_settings_list_equal had to be changed.
- The video filter to turn the video upside-down is vflip. There is no
filter called "flip" so using it just causes an error.
- Reword a sentence.
- Add exact and all to the values accepted by cover-art-auto. They were
implemented in 029ff1049b but not added to the accepted arguments.
The --secondary-sub-visibility options was previously undocumented in
the pull request that added it. This commit adds documentation for it
and clarifies its behavior.
Not sure what I was on when I wrote this. wayland-app-id is supposed to
default to "mpv". Just set that in the vo_sub_opts and don't do this
weird m_config_cache_write_opt thing. Also make the doc entry nicer.
This fixes a long-standing apparent issue where mpv would display the last
frame with no subtitles at EOF. This is caused by sub rendering switching from
video timestamps to audio timestamps when the video ends, and audio streams
often running past the timestamp of the last video frame. However, authoring
tools (most notably Aegisub) don't tend to provide easy ways to add meaningful
subtitles after the end of the video, so this is rarely actually useful.
This makes cover-art-auto behave more like sub-auto and audio-file-auto:
- load cover art with a language, e.g. if playing foo.mp3, foo.en.jpg
will be loaded with lang=en
- load cover art containing the media filename with fuzzy and all, e.g.
'foo (large).jpg'
- make all/2 load all images in the directory, and make fuzzy/1 the
default
These are all uncommon use cases, but synchronizing the behavior of the
external file options simplifies the code.
This is the Vulkan equivalent of the drm context for OpenGL, with
the big difference that it's implemented purely in terms of Vulkan
calls and doesn't actually require drm or kms.
The basic idea is to identify a display, mode, and plane on a device,
and then create a display backed surface for the swapchain. In theory,
past that point, everything is the same, and this is in fact the case
on Intel hardware. I can get a video playing on a vt.
On nvidia, naturally, things don't work that way. Instead, nvidia only
implemented the extension for scenarios where a VR application is
stealing a display from a running window system, and not for
standalone scenarios. With additional code, I've got this scenario to
work but that's a separate incremental change.
Other people have tested on AMD, and report roughly the same behaviour
as on Intel.
Note, that in this change, the VT will not be correctly restored after
qutting. The only way to restore the VT is to introduce some drm
specific code which I will illustrate in a separate change.
