The primary effect of this commit is that it fixes playback resume if libquvi 0.9 and German locale are used, and libkdecore is on the system. (See github issue #279.) libquvi uses libproxy to determine system-wide proxy settings. libproxy in turn loads libkdecore (if present) to determine KDE proxy settings. libkdecore has a global constructor, which calls setlocale(LC_ALL, ""), switching the current locale from "C" to what the user's settings. This breaks some basic C string processing functions. Note that the locale won't be set on program start, but only when libproxy calls dlopen() on its config_kde module, which actually causes libkdecore to be loaded and initialized. In particular, with German locale, snprintf() would use "," instead of "." when formatting float values, which in combination with playback resume, would lead to parse errors the next time mpv was started, which is how this issue was found. I'd consider this a bug with libkdecore or at least libproxy. No library should ever even touch locale: it might break basic expectations on C string handling functions, might override program settings, and it's not thread-safe. But this is so nasty and severe, that a quick hack to fix it hurts less. See github issue #279 and KDE bug #325902. |

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.
mpv's configure script is greedy and automatically enables features as a result
of autodetection. The cases where you may want to use --enable-* are very
limited.

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.
