This commit: - Changes some of the #define and variable names for clarification and adds comments where appropriate. - Unifies :srgb and :icc-profile, making them fit into the same step of the decoding process and removing the weird interactions between both of them. - Makes :icc-profile take precedence over :srgb (to significantly reduce the number of confusing and useless special cases) - Moves BT709 decompanding (approximate or actual) to the shader in all cases, making it happen before upscaling (instead of the old 0.45 gamma function). This is the simpler and more proper way to do it. - Enables the approx gamma function to work with :srgb as well due to this (since they now share the gamma expansion code). - Renames :icc-approx-gamma to :approx-gamma since it is no longer tied to the ICC options or LittleCMS. - Uses gamma 2.4 as input space for the actual 3DLUT, this is now a pretty arbitrary factor but I picked 2.4 mainly because a higher pure power value here seems to produce visually better results with wide gamut profiles, rather then the previous 1.95 or BT.709. - Adds the input gamma space to the 3dlut cache header in case we change it more in the future, or even make it user customizable (though I don't see why the latter would really be necessary). - Fixes the OSD's gamma when using :srgb, which was previously still using the old (0.45) approximation in all cases. - Updates documentation on :srgb, it was still mentioning the old behavior from circa a year ago. This commit should serve to both open up and make the CMS/shader code much more accessible and less confusing/error-prone and simultaneously also improve the performance of 3DLUTs with wide gamut color spaces. I would liked to have made it more modular but almost all of these changes are interdependent, save for the documentation updates. Note: Right now, the "3DLUT takes precedence over SRGB" logic is just coded into gl_lcms.c's compile_shaders function. Ideally, this should be done earlier, when parsing the options (by overriding the actual opts.srgb flag) and output a warning to the user. Note: I'm not sure how well this works together with real-world subtitles that may need to be color corrected as well. I'm not sure whether :approx-gamma needs to apply to subtitles as well. I'll need to test this on proper files later. Note: As of now, linear light scaling is still intrinsically tied to either :srgb or :icc-profile. It would be thinkable to have this as an extra option, :linear-scaling or similar, that could be used with or without the two color management options. |

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.
The mpv build system uses waf but we don't store it in your source tree. The script './bootstrap.py' will download the latest version of waf that was tested with the build system.
For a list of the available build options use ./waf configure --help. If
you think you have support for some feature installed but configure fails to
detect it, the file build/config.log may contain information about the
reasons for the failure.
NOTE: To avoid cluttering the output with unreadable spam, --help only shows
one of the two switches for each option. If the option is autodetected by
default, the --disable-*** switch is printed; if the option is disabled by
default, the --enable-*** switch is printed. Either way, you can use
--enable-*** or --disable-** regardless of what is printed by --help.
To build the software you can use ./waf build: the result of the compilation
will be located in build/mpv. You can use ./waf install to install mpv
to the prefix after it is compiled.
NOTE: Using the old build system (with ./old-configure) should still work,
but will be removed in a future version of mpv.
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/libmp3lame/libfdk-aac 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.
FFmpeg vs. Libav
Generally, mpv should work with the latest release as well as the git version of both FFmpeg and Libav. But FFmpeg is preferred, and some mpv features work with FFmpeg only. See the wiki article about the issue.

Please use the issue 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.
