There were two option syntax variations:
"old": -opt value
"new": --opt=value
"-opt=value" was invalid, and "--opt value" meant "--opt=" followed by
a separate option "value" (i.e. interpreted as filename). There isn't
really any reason to do this. The "old" syntax used to be ambiguous
(you had to call the option parser to know whether the following
argument is an option value or a new option), but that has been removed.
Further, using "=" in the option string is always unambiguous.
Since the distinction between the two option variants is confusing,
just remove the difference and allow "--opt value" and "-opt=value".
To make this easier, do some other cleanups as well (e.g. avoid having
to do a manual lookup of the option just to check for M_OPT_PRE_PARSE,
which somehow ended up with finally getting rid of the m_config.mode
member).
Error reporting is still a mess, and we opt for reporting too many
rather than too few errors to the user.
There shouldn't be many user-visible changes. The --framedrop and
--term-osd options now always require parameters.
The --mute option is intentionally made ambiguous: it works like a flag
option, but a value can be passed to it explicitly ("--mute=auto"). If
the interpretation of the option is ambiguous (like "--mute auto"), the
second string is interpreted as separate option or filename. (Normal
flag options are actually ambiguous in this way too.)

mpv ### Overview ======== **mpv** is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types. If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read more about the changes_. Compilation =========== Compiling with full features requires development files for several external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For more information see the output of ``./configure --help`` for a list of options, or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running ``./configure``. If you think you have support for some feature installed but configure fails to detect it, the file ``config.log`` may contain information about the reasons for the failure. Essential dependencies (incomplete list): - gcc or clang - X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...) - Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio) - fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass) - libass - FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc) - libjpeg - libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly - libx264 if you want to use encoding (has to be explicitly enabled when compiling ffmpeg) Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build_) that first compiles FFmpeg libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those. If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide homebrew-mpv_, an up to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for OSX. Bug reports =========== Please use the `issues tracker`_ provided by GitHub to send us bug reports or feature requests. Contributing ============ For small changes you can just send us pull requests through GitHub. For bigger changes come and talk to us on IRC before you start working on them. It will make code review easier for both parties later on. Contacts ======== You can find us on IRC in ``#mpv-player`` on ``irc.freenode.net`` .. _changes: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/man/en/changes.rst .. _mpv-build: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build .. _homebrew-mpv: https://github.com/mpv-player/homebrew-mpv .. _issues tracker: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues
