wm4 7e033da892 sd_ass: disable special handling of subtitles with duration 0
sd_ass contains some code that treats subtitle events with duration 0
specially, and adjust their duration so that they will disappear with
the next event.

This is most likely not needed anymore. Some subtitle formats allow
omitting the duration so that the event is visible until the next one,
but both subreader.c as well as libavformat subtitle demuxers already
handle this.

Subtitles embedded in mp4 files (movtext) used to trigger this code. But
these files appear to export subtitle duration correctly (at least
libavcodec's movtext decoder is using this assumption). Since commit
6dbedd2 changed demux_lavf to actually copy the packet duration field,
the code removed with this commit isn't needed anymore for correct
display of movtext subtitles. (The change in sd_movtext is for dropping
empty subtitle events, which would now be "displayed" - libavcodec does
the same.)

On the other hand, this code incorrectly displayed hidden events in .srt
subtitles. See for example the first event in SubRip_capability_tester.srt
(part of FFmpeg's FATE). These intentionally have a duration of 0, and
should not be displayed. (As of with this commit, they are still
displayed in external .srt subs because of subreader.c hacks.)

However, we can't be 100% sure that this code is really unneeded, so
just comment the code. Hopefully it can be removed if there are no
regressions after some weeks or months.

mpv

Build Status

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.

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.
