Changes
-------
- Drop support for Libav 9 and earlier FFmpeg releases. At least FFmpeg 2.1.4 or
Libav 10 are now required.
- Change cache options to take kilobytes instead of percentages, and raise the
default values.
- Lower --auto-pause/resume defaults values to improve web streams playback.
- Use dvdnav support instead of the internal dvd implementation for dvd:// URLs
(the old implementation is available under dvdread://).
- Rename some options to make them more consistent. Here's a partial list of
renamed options:
+ Audio-related:
* --audiofile → --audio-file
* --audiofile-cache → --audio-file-cache
* --channels → --audio-channels
* --format → --audio-format
* --srate → --audio-samplerate
+ Input-related:
* --ar → --input-appleremote
* --consolecontrols → --input-terminal
* --media-keys → --input-media-keys
* --joystick → --input-joystick
* --lirc → --input-lirc
* --lircconf → --input-lirc-conf
* --mouse-movements → --input-cursor
* --right-alt-gr → --input-right-alt-gr
+ Terminal-related:
* --msgcolor → --msg-color
* --msglevel → --msg-level
* --msgmodule → --msg-module
* --msgtime → --msg-time
* --playing-msg → --term-playing-msg
* --status-msg → --term-status-msg
+ Subtitle-related:
* --ass → --sub-ass
* --autosub → --sub-auto
* --autosub-match → --sub-auto-match
* --sub → --sub-file
* --subcp → --sub-codepage
* --subfps → --sub-fps
+ Video-related:
* --aspect → --video-aspect
* --fstype → --x11-fstype
* --native-fs → --fs-missioncontrol
* --name → --x11-name
- Remove global options variables for --tv, --pvr, --dvb and --cdda.
- Move post-processing support to a separate filter (vdpaupp) for the vdpau vo,
and deprecate the old vdpau post-processing options.
- Remove radio:// support.
- Remove support for ASX, SMIL and NSC playlist formats.
- Re-introduce pretty-printing for module names with --msg-module.
- Load Lua scripts under `$MPV_HOME/lua/` (default `~/.mpv/lua/`) automatically
(this can be disabled by using `--load-scripts=no`).
- Corrupt/broken frames are not shown by default anymore (this can be re-enabled
by using --vd-lavc-show-all=yes).
- Automatically copy metadata from the input file to the output when encoding
(this can be disabled by using --no-ometadata).
- Change --sub-file semantics: if multiple --sub-file are used, the subtitle
tracks can be cycled at runtime and used with --sid and --secondary-sid.
- Make the subtitle font size relative to the window, instead of the video, when
--sub-scale-with-window=yes is used.
- Change default ao from wasapi to dsound on Windows.
Bug fixes
---------
- Fix tv:// playback with missing timestamps.
- Fix display of cover art inside audio files with the vdpau vo.
New features
------------
- Add client API in the form of the libmpv library, which is intended to be a
stable API to get some rough control over the player (this is not supported on
Mac OS X).
- Add option for approximating BT.709 gamma for the opengl vo (similarly to many
programs in the Apple ecosystem).
- Add support for non-BT.709 primaries.
- Add support for BT.2020 colorspace.
- Generate and install zsh completion script (disabled by default since it may
interfere with cross-compilation).
- Add support for looping a single file (instead of the whole playlist) with the
--loop-file option.
- Add VapourSynth video filter (this has various restrictions, which are listed
in the manpage).
- Add support for ReplayGain in the volume audio filter.
- Add a --config-dir option to force config directory.
- Add support for GPU switching on Mac OS X.
- Add support for automatic selection of color profiles on Mac OS X.
- Add support for binding commands to sequences of keys.
- Add support for passing options to Lua scripts with --lua-opts.
- Add some filesystem utility functions to the Lua API.
- Add functions for observing property changes to the Lua API .
- Add support for creating a cache file on the filesystem with --cache-file.
- Add support for window dragging by grabbing with the x11 vo.
- Add option to write file name to watch later file.
- Add support for a "weak" gapless mode, and make it default (the old mode can
be enabled with --gapless-audio or --gapless-audio=yes).
- Automatically detect network filesystems on Linux and Windows.
