The --deinterlace option does on playback start what the "deinterlace" property normally does at runtime. You could do this before by using the --vf option or by messing with the vo_vdpau default options, but this new option is supposed to be a "foolproof" way. The main motivation for adding this is so that the deinterlace property can be restored when using the video resume functionality (quit_watch_later command). Implementation-wise, this is a bit messy. The video chain is rebuilt in mpcodecs_reconfig_vo(), where we don't have access to MPContext, so the usual mechanism for enabling deinterlacing can't be used. Further, mpcodecs_reconfig_vo() is called by the video decoder, which doesn't have access to MPContext either. Moving this call to mplayer.c isn't currently possible either (see below). So we just do this before frames are filtered, which potentially means setting the deinterlacing every frame. Fortunately, setting deinterlacing is stable and idempotent, so this is hopefully not a problem. We also add a counter that is incremented on each reconfig to reduce the amount of additional work per frame to nearly zero. The reason we can't move mpcodecs_reconfig_vo() to mplayer.c is because of hardware decoding: we need to check whether the video chain works before we decide that we can use hardware decoding. Changing it so that this can be decided in advance without building a filter chain sounds like a good idea and should be done, but we aren't there yet. |

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/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.
configure --enable-* parameters
The --enable-* parameters unconditionally force options on, completely skipping autodetection. This behavior is unlike what you may be used to from autoconf-based configure scripts that can decide to override you. This greater level of control comes at a price. You may have to provide the correct compiler and linker flags yourself. If you used one of these options and experience a compilation or linking failure, make sure you have passed the necessary compiler/linker flags to configure.
