``--ad=<[+|-]family1:(*|decoder1),[+|-]family2:(*|decoder2),...[-]>``
core: redo how codecs are mapped, remove codecs.conf Use codec names instead of FourCCs to identify codecs. Rewrite how codecs are selected and initialized. Now each decoder exports a list of decoders (and the codec it supports) via add_decoders(). The order matters, and the first decoder for a given decoder is preferred over the other decoders. E.g. all ad_mpg123 decoders are preferred over ad_lavc, because it comes first in the mpcodecs_ad_drivers array. Likewise, decoders within ad_lavc that are enumerated first by libavcodec (using av_codec_next()) are preferred. (This is actually critical to select h264 software decoding by default instead of vdpau. libavcodec and ffmpeg/avconv use the same method to select decoders by default, so we hope this is sane.) The codec names follow libavcodec's codec names as defined by AVCodecDescriptor.name (see libavcodec/codec_desc.c). Some decoders have names different from the canonical codec name. The AVCodecDescriptor API is relatively new, so we need a compatibility layer for older libavcodec versions for codec names that are referenced internally, and which are different from the decoder name. (Add a configure check for that, because checking versions is getting way too messy.) demux/codec_tags.c is generated from the former codecs.conf (minus "special" decoders like vdpau, and excluding the mappings that are the same as the mappings libavformat's exported RIFF tables). It contains all the mappings from FourCCs to codec name. This is needed for demux_mkv, demux_mpg, demux_avi and demux_asf. demux_lavf will set the codec as determined by libavformat, while the other demuxers have to do this on their own, using the mp_set_audio/video_codec_from_tag() functions. Note that the sh_audio/video->format members don't uniquely identify the codec anymore, and sh->codec takes over this role. Replace the --ac/--vc/--afm/--vfm with new --vd/--ad options, which provide cover the functionality of the removed switched. Note: there's no CODECS_FLAG_FLIP flag anymore. This means some obscure container/video combinations (e.g. the sample Film_200_zygo_pro.mov) are played flipped. ffplay/avplay doesn't handle this properly either, so we don't care and blame ffmeg/libav instead.

Specify a priority list of audio decoders to be used, according to their
family and decoder name. Entries like ``family:*`` prioritize all decoders
of the given family. When determining which decoder to use, the first
decoder that matches the audio format is selected. If that is unavailable,
the next decoder is used. Finally, it tries all other decoders that are not
explicitly selected or rejected by the option.
manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2 master branch after revision 159102e0cb. Committers: * Clément Bœsch <ubitux@gmail.com> (Initial conversion to RST.) * Uoti Urpala <uau@mplayer2.org> (Many updates.) * Myself (Minor edits.) Most text of the manpage has been directly taken from the old manpage, because this is a conversion, not a complete rewrite. [1] http://git.mplayer2.org/uau/mplayer2.git/log/?h=man

Select the Dynamic Range Compression level for AC-3 audio streams.
``<level>`` is a float value ranging from 0 to 1, where 0 means no
compression and 1 (which is the default) means full compression (make loud
passages more silent and vice versa). Values up to 2 are also accepted, but
are purely experimental. This option only shows an effect if the AC-3 stream
contains the required range compression information.

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action.

``--ar``, ``--no-ar``
osx: add Apple Remote support After killing the non functional AR support in c8fd9e5 I got much complaints so this adds AR support back in (and it works). I am using the HIDRemote class by Felix Schwarz and that part of the code is under the BSD license. I slightly modified it replacing [NSApplication sharedApplication] with NSApp. The code of the class is quite complex (probably because it had to deal with all the edge cases with IOKit) but it works nicely as a black box. In a later commit I'll remove the deprecation warnings caused by HIDRemote's usage of Gestalt. Check out `etc/input.conf` for the default bindings. Apple Remote functionality is automatically compiled in when cocoa is enabled. It can be disabled at runtime with the `--no-ar` option.

Stretch SSA/ASS subtitles when playing anamorphic videos for compatibility
with traditional VSFilter behavior. This switch has no effect when the
video is stored with square pixels.
The renderer historically most commonly used for the SSA/ASS subtitle
formats, VSFilter, had questionable behavior that resulted in subtitles
being stretched too if the video was stored in anamorphic format that
required scaling for display. This behavior is usually undesirable and
newer VSFilter versions may behave differently. However, many existing
scripts compensate for the stretching by modifying things in the opposite

2013-07-15 01:48:25 +02:00
Mangle colors like (xy-)vsfilter do (default: basic). Historically, VSFilter
was not colorspace aware. This was no problem as long as the colorspace
used for SD video (BT.601) was used. But when everything switched to HD
(BT.709), VSFilter was still converting RGB colors to BT.601, rendered
them into the video frame, and handled the frame to the video output, which
would use BT.709 for conversion to RGB. The result were mangled subtitle
colors. Later on, bad hacks were added on top of the ASS format to control
how colors are to be mangled.
:basic: Handle only BT.601->BT.709 mangling, if the subtitles seem to
indicate that this is required (default).
:full: Handle the full ``YCbCr Matrix`` header with all video colorspaces
supported by libass and mpv. This might lead to bad breakages in
corner cases and is not strictly needed for compatibility
(hopefully), which is why this is not default.
:force-601: Force BT.601->BT.709 mangling, regardless of subtitle headers
or video colorspace.
:no: Disable color mangling completely. All colors are RGB.
Choosing anything other than ``no`` will make the subtitle color depend on
the video colorspace, and it's for example in theory not possible to reuse
a subtitle script with another video file. The ``--ass-style-override``
option doesn't affect how this option is interpreted.

a number is followed by a percentage sign (``%``), in percents of the

This option never changes the aspect ratio of the window. If the aspect
ratio mismatches, the window's size is reduced until it fits into the
specified size.
Window position is not taken into account, nor is it modified by this

on size). Use ``--geometry`` to change the window position. Its effects

x11_common: always create a window, even with --wid The --wid switch (for embedding the player into other applications) didn't create a new window, and instead tried to use the window that was passed via --wid directly. This made the code more complex, caused strange X errors (mpv and host application fighting for exclusive X resources), and actually could cause issues if the --wid window wasn't created with the X Visual needed for OpenGL. Always create a window instead. This makes it always possible to embed the player into foreign windows. --geometry doesn't work anymore - the controlling application should always create a new window to place the player inside it, and can control the video window by moving and resizing this window. w32_common.c actually did this right, and always creates a new window.

``--cache=<kBytes|no|auto>``
cache: use threads instead of fork() Basically rewrite all the code supporting the cache (i.e. anything other than the ringbuffer logic). The underlying design is untouched. Note that the old cache2.c (on which this code is based) already had a threading implementation. This was mostly unused on Linux, and had some problems, such as using shared volatile variables for communication and uninterruptible timeouts, instead of using locks for synchronization. This commit does use proper locking, while still retaining the way the old cache worked. It's basically a big refactor. Simplify the code too. Since we don't need to copy stream ctrl args anymore (we're always guaranteed a shared address space now), lots of annoying code just goes away. Likewise, we don't need to care about sector sizes. The cache uses the high-level stream API to read from other streams, and sector sizes are handled transparently.

With ``auto``, the cache will usually be enabled for network streams,

The Matroska linked segments case is slightly simplified: they can never come from network (mostly because it'd be insane, and we can't even list files from network sources), so the cache will never be enabled automatically.

is also the reason why a full cache is usually reported as 50% full. The
cache fill display does not include the part of the cache reserved for
seeking back. Likewise, when starting a file the cache will be at 100%,
because no space is reserved for seeking back yet.
options: add --cache-default option Add this option, which lets users set the cache size without forcing it even when playing from the local filesystem. Also document the default value explicitly. The Matroska linked segments case is slightly simplified: they can never come from network (mostly because it'd be insane, and we can't even list files from network sources), so the cache will never be enabled automatically.

core: automatically pause on low cache When the cache fill status goes below a certain threshold, automatically pause the player. When the cache is filled again, unpause again.

In theory, we should try to increase the cache if underruns happen too often. Unfortunately, changing the cache implementation would be very hard, because it's insane code (forks, uses shared memory and "volatile" etc.). So for now, this just reduces the frequency of the stuttering if the network is absolutely too slow to play the stream in realtime.

If the cache percentage goes below the specified value, pause and wait
until the percentage set by ``--cache-min`` is reached, then resume
playback (default: 10). If ``no`` is specified, this behavior is disabled.
When the player is paused this way, the status line shows ``Buffering``
instead of ``Paused``, and the OSD uses a clock symbol instead of the
normal paused symbol.

filled to this position rather than performing a stream seek (default:
50).
cache: use threads instead of fork() Basically rewrite all the code supporting the cache (i.e. anything other than the ringbuffer logic). The underlying design is untouched. Note that the old cache2.c (on which this code is based) already had a threading implementation. This was mostly unused on Linux, and had some problems, such as using shared volatile variables for communication and uninterruptible timeouts, instead of using locks for synchronization. This commit does use proper locking, while still retaining the way the old cache worked. It's basically a big refactor. Simplify the code too. Since we don't need to copy stream ctrl args anymore (we're always guaranteed a shared address space now), lots of annoying code just goes away. Likewise, we don't need to care about sector sizes. The cache uses the high-level stream API to read from other streams, and sector sizes are handled transparently.
2013-05-25 15:03:30 +02:00
This matters for small forward seeks. With slow streams (especially http
streams) there is a tradeoff between skipping the data between current
position and seek destination, or performing an actual seek. Depending
on the situation, either of these might be slower than the other method.
This option allows control over this.

options: rename -ss and -endpos, allow relative times Rename the -ss option to -start, and -endpos to -length. Add a -end option. The -end option always specifies an absolute end time, as opposed to -endpos/-length. All these options (--start, --end, --length) now accept relative times. Percent positions (e.g. "--start=30%") are interpreted as fractions of the file duration. Negative times (e.g. "--start=-1:00) are interpreted relative to the end of the file. Chapters (e.g. "--start=#3") yield the chapter's time position. The chapter support might be able to replace --chapter completely, but for now I am not sure how well this works out with e.g. DVDs and BDs, and a separate --chapter option is useful interface-wise.

Threshold for merging almost consecutive ordered chapter parts in

end of one chapter and the start of the next one when they should match.
If the end of one playback part is less than the given threshold away from
the start of the next one then keep playing video normally over the
chapter change instead of doing a seek.
command: more intuitive chapter seek behavior If close to chapter start, skipping back goes to previous chapter (no change).

Controls the YUV to RGB color space conversion when playing video. There
are various standards. Normally, BT.601 should be used for SD video, and
BT.709 for HD video. (This is done by default.) Using incorrect color space
results in slightly under or over saturated and shifted colors.
The color space conversion is additionally influenced by the related
options --colormatrix-input-range and --colormatrix-output-range.
These options are not always supported. Different video outputs provide
manpage: proofread and fix formatting

varying degrees of support. The ``opengl`` and ``vdpau`` video output
drivers usually offer full support. The ``xv`` output can set the color
space if the system video driver supports it, but not input and output
levels. The ``scale`` video filter can configure color space and input
levels, but only if the output format is RGB (if the video output driver
supports RGB output, you can force this with ``-vf scale,format=rgba``).

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code.

core: add --deinterlace option, restore it with resume functionality 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.
2013-09-13 18:06:08 +02:00
``--deinterlace=<yes|no|auto>``
Enable or disable interlacing (default: auto, which usually means no).
Interlaced video shows ugly comb-like artifacts, which are visible on
fast movement. Enabling this typically inserts the yadif video filter in
order to deinterlace the video, or lets the video output apply deinterlacing
if supported.
This behaves exactly like the ``deinterlace`` input property (usually
mapped to ``Shift+D``).
``auto`` is a technicality. Strictly speaking, the default for this option
is deinterlacing disabled, but the ``auto`` case is needed if ``yadif`` was
added to the filter chain manually with ``--vf``. Then the core shouldn't
disable deinterlacing just because the ``--deinterlace`` was not set.

demux_lavf: add terrible hack to make DVD playback just work DVD playback had some trouble with PTS resets: libavformat's genpts feature would try reading until EOF (worst case) to find a new usable PTS in case a packet's PTS is not set correctly. Especially with slow DVD access, this would make the player to appear frozen. Reimplement it partially in demux_lavf.c, and use that code in the DVD case. This is heavily "inspired" by the code in av_read_frame from libavformat/utils.c. The difference is that we stop reading if no PTS has been found after 50 packets (consider this a heuristic). Also, we don't bother with the PTS wrapping and last-frame-before-EOF handling. Even with normal PTS wraps, the player frontend will go to hell for the duration of a frame anyway, and should recover quickly after that. The terribleness of this commit is mostly that we duplicate libavformat functionality, and that we suddenly need a packet queue.

``--demuxer-lavf-genpts-mode=<auto|lavf|builtin|no>``
Mode for deriving missing packet PTS values from packet DTS. ``lavf``
enables libavformat's ``genpts`` option. ``builtin`` enables equivalent
code in mpv. ``auto`` will enable either lavf (normal playback) or builtin
(DVD playback) in correct-pts mode. The difference between them is that
the builtin code will not potentially read until EOF trying to derive the
PTS (which is very bad for DVD playback). On the other hand, builtin might
give up too early, which is why lavf is preferred normally. ``no`` disables
both.

Try harder to show embedded soft subtitles when seeking somewhere. Normally,
it can happen that the subtitle at the seek target is not shown due to how
some container file formats are designed. The subtitles appear only if
seeking before or exactly to the position a subtitle first appears. To
make this worse, subtitles are often timed to appear a very small amount
before the associated video frame, so that seeking to the video frame
typically does not demux the subtitle at that position.
Enabling this option makes the demuxer start reading data a bit before the
seek target, so that subtitles appear correctly. Note that this makes
seeking slower, and is not guaranteed to always work. It only works if the
subtitle is close enough to the seek target.
Works with the internal Matroska demuxer only. Always enabled for absolute
and hr-seeks, and this option changes behavior with relative or imprecise

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action.

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action.

Change how some video outputs render the OSD and text subtitles. This
does not change appearance of the subtitles and only has performance
implications. For VOs which support native ASS rendering (like ``vdpau``,
``opengl``, ``direct3d``), this can be slightly faster or slower,
depending on GPU drivers and hardware. For other VOs, this just makes
rendering slower.

Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts.

.. note::
The audio device is opened using parameters chosen according to the
first file played and is then kept open for gapless playback. This means
that if the first file for example has a low sample rate, then the
following files may get resampled to the same low sample rate, resulting
in reduced sound quality. If you play files with different parameters,
consider using options such as ``--srate`` and ``--format`` to
explicitly select what the shared output format will be.
``--geometry=<[W[xH]][+-x+-y]>``, ``--geometry=<x:y>``
Adjust the initial window position or size. ``W`` and ``H`` set the window
size in pixels. ``x`` and ``y`` set the window position, measured in pixels
from the top-left corner of the screen to the top-left corner of the image
being displayed. If a percentage sign (``%``) is given after the argument,
it turns the value into a percentage of the screen size in that direction.
Positions are specified similar to the standard X11 ``--geometry`` option
format, in which e.g. +10-50 means "place 10 pixels from the left border and
50 pixels from the lower border" and "--20+-10" means "place 20 pixels
beyond the right and 10 pixels beyond the top border".
options: allow using % for width and height in --geometry Now all numbers in the --geometry specification can take percentages. Rewrite the parsing of --geometry, because adjusting the sscanf() mess would require adding all the combinations of using and not using %. As a side effect, using % and pixel values can be freely mixed. Keep the aspect if only one of width or height is set. This is more useful in general. Note: there is one semantic change: --geometry=num used to mean setting the window X position, but now it means setting the window width. Apparently this was a mplayer-specific feature (not part of standard X geometry specifications), and it doesn't look like an overly useful feature, so we are fine with breaking it. In general, the new parsing should still adhere to standard X geometry specification (as used by XParseGeometry()).
2013-01-23 10:56:27 +01:00
x11_common: always create a window, even with --wid The --wid switch (for embedding the player into other applications) didn't create a new window, and instead tried to use the window that was passed via --wid directly. This made the code more complex, caused strange X errors (mpv and host application fighting for exclusive X resources), and actually could cause issues if the --wid window wasn't created with the X Visual needed for OpenGL. Always create a window instead. This makes it always possible to embed the player into foreign windows. --geometry doesn't work anymore - the controlling application should always create a new window to place the player inside it, and can control the video window by moving and resizing this window. w32_common.c actually did this right, and always creates a new window.
2013-02-24 23:35:13 +01:00
If an external window is specified using the ``--wid`` option, this
option is ignored.
The coordinates are relative to the screen given with ``--screen`` for the
video output drivers that fully support ``--screen``.

On Mac OSX the origin of the screen coordinate system is located on the
bottom-left corner. For instance, ``0:0`` will place the window at the
bottom-left of the screen.
.. admonition:: Note (X11)
This option does not work properly with all window managers.
.. admonition:: Examples
``50:40``
Places the window at x=50, y=40.
``50%:50%``
Places the window in the middle of the screen.
``100%:100%``
Places the window at the bottom right corner of the screen.
``50%``
Sets the window width to half the screen width. Window height is set
so that the window has the video aspect ratio.
``50%x50%``
Forces the window width and height to half the screen width and
height. Will show black borders to compensate for the video aspect
ration (with most VOs and without ``--no-keepaspect``).
``50%+10+10``
Sets the window to half the screen widths, and positions it 10
pixels below/left of the top left corner of the screen.
manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action.

video: add --autofit and --autofit-larger options --autofit=WxH sets the window size to a maximum width and/or height, without changing the window's aspect ratio. --autofit-larger=WxH does the same, but only if the video size is actually larger than the window size that would result when using the --autofit=WxH option with the same arguments.

option to 1.5 and try to do a precise seek to 60 seconds, the demuxer is
told to seek to time 58.5, which hopefully reduces the chance that it
erroneously goes to some time later than 60 seconds. The downside of
setting this option is that precise seeks become slower, as video between
the earlier demuxer position and the real target may be unnecessarily
decoded.

video: add vda decode support (with hwaccel) and direct rendering Decoding H264 using Video Decode Acceleration used the custom 'vda_h264_dec' decoder in FFmpeg. The Good: This new implementation has some advantages over the previous one: - It works with Libav: vda_h264_dec never got into Libav since they prefer client applications to use the hwaccel API. - It is way more efficient: in my tests this implementation yields a reduction of CPU usage of roughly ~50% compared to using `vda_h264_dec` and ~65-75% compared to h264 software decoding. This is mainly because `vo_corevideo` was adapted to perform direct rendering of the `CVPixelBufferRefs` created by the Video Decode Acceleration API Framework. The Bad: - `vo_corevideo` is required to use VDA decoding acceleration. - only works with versions of ffmpeg/libav new enough (needs reference refcounting). That is FFmpeg 2.0+ and Libav's git master currently. The Ugly: VDA was hardcoded to use UYVY (2vuy) for the uploaded video texture. One one end this makes the code simple since Apple's OpenGL implementation actually supports this out of the box. It would be nice to support other output image formats and choose the best format depending on the input, or at least making it configurable. My tests indicate that CPU usage actually increases with a 420p IMGFMT output which is not what I would have expected. NOTE: There is a small memory leak with old versions of FFmpeg and with Libav since the CVPixelBufferRef is not automatically released when the AVFrame is deallocated. This can cause leaks inside libavcodec for decoded frames that are discarded before mpv wraps them inside a refcounted mp_image (this only happens on seeks). For frames that enter mpv's refcounting facilities, this is not a problem since we rewrap the CVPixelBufferRef in our mp_image that properly forwards CVPixelBufferRetain/CvPixelBufferRelease calls to the underying CVPixelBufferRef. So, for FFmpeg use something more recent than `b3d63995` for Libav the patch was posted to the dev ML in July and in review since, apparently, the proposed fix is rather hacky.

2013-08-12 02:16:20 +02:00
``auto`` tries to automatically enable hardware decoding using the first
available method. This still depends what VO you are using. For example,
if you are not using ``--vo=vdpau``, vdpau decoding will never be enabled.
Also note that if the first found method doesn't actually work, it will
always fall back to software decoding, instead of trying the next method.

The binary name and the default config file location are changed as well. The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/ Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts.

Rename to "mpv" This changes the name of this project to mpv. Most user-visible mentions of "MPlayer" and "mplayer" are changed to "mpv". The binary name and the default config file location are changed as well. The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/ Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts. These contained outdated dependencies and likely were more harmful than useful. (Patches which add working and well-tested packaging are welcome.)

Drop this syntax and use "-" as separator. This means even suboptions are available as normal options now, e.g. "--rawvideo-w=123". The old syntax doesn't work anymore. Note that this is completely separate from actual suboptions. For example, "-rawvideo w=123:h=123" still works. (Not that this syntax is worth supporting, but it's needed anyway, for for other things like vf and vo suboptions.) As a consequence of this change, we also have to add new "no-" prefixed options for flag suboptions, so that "--no-input-default-bindings" works. ("--input-no-default-bindings" also works as a consequence of allowing "-input no-default-bindings" - they are handled by the same underlying option.) For --input, always use the full syntax in the manpage. There exist suboptions other than --input (like --tv, --rawvideo, etc.), but since they might be handled differently in the future, don't touch these yet. M_OPT_PREFIXED becomes the default, so remove it. As a minor unrelated cleanup, get rid of M_OPT_MERGE too and use the OPT_SUBSTRUCT() macro in some places. Unrelated: remove the duplicated --tv:buffersize option, fix a typo in changes.rst.

As a consequence of this change, we also have to add new "no-" prefixed options for flag suboptions, so that "--no-input-default-bindings" works. ("--input-no-default-bindings" also works as a consequence of allowing "-input no-default-bindings" - they are handled by the same underlying option.) For --input, always use the full syntax in the manpage. There exist suboptions other than --input (like --tv, --rawvideo, etc.), but since they might be handled differently in the future, don't touch these yet. M_OPT_PREFIXED becomes the default, so remove it. As a minor unrelated cleanup, get rid of M_OPT_MERGE too and use the OPT_SUBSTRUCT() macro in some places. Unrelated: remove the duplicated --tv:buffersize option, fix a typo in changes.rst.

Input test mode. Instead of executing commands on key presses, mpv

input: add input test mode In input test mode, key bindings won't be executed, but are shown on the OSD. The OSD includes various information, such as the name of the key, the command itself, whether it's builtin, and the config file location it was defined. The input test mode can be enabled with "--input=test". No effort is spent trying to react to key bindings that normally exit the player; they are treated just like any other binding.

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code.

``--keep-open``
core: add --keep-open, which doesn't close the file on EOF The --keep-open option causes mpv not to close the current file. Instead, it will pause, and allow the user to seek around. When seeking beyond the end of the file, mpv does a precise seek back to the previous last known position that produced video output. In some corner cases, mpv might not be able to produce video output at all, despite having created a VO. (Possibly when only 1 frame could be decoded, but the video filter chain queues frames. Then a VO would be created, without sending an actual video frame to the VO.) In these cases, the VO window will not redraw, not even OSD. Based on a patch by coax [1].

to a very large value is that if you hold down a key triggering some

The -end option always specifies an absolute end time, as opposed to -endpos/-length. All these options (--start, --end, --length) now accept relative times. Percent positions (e.g. "--start=30%") are interpreted as fractions of the file duration. Negative times (e.g. "--start=-1:00) are interpreted relative to the end of the file. Chapters (e.g. "--start=#3") yield the chapter's time position. The chapter support might be able to replace --chapter completely, but for now I am not sure how well this works out with e.g. DVDs and BDs, and a separate --chapter option is useful interface-wise.

Normally, something like ``mpv playlist.m3u`` won't load the playlist. This

Note: this option will allow opening playlists using the ``playlist``
special demuxer. The ``--playlist`` uses different code, and supports more
playlist formats than the playlist demuxer. This means that for now, the
``--playlist`` option should always be used if you intend to open playlists.
Background: the special demuxer contains newly written code, while the
``--playlist`` option uses the old MPlayer code. Adding support for more
playlist formats to the special demuxer is work in progress, and eventually
the old code should disappear.

osx: improve Media Keys support This commit addresses some issues with the users had with the previous implementation in commit c39efb9. Here's the changes: * Use Quartz Event Taps to remove Media Key events mpv handles from the global OS X queue. This prevents conflicts with iTunes. I did this on the main thread since it is mostly idling. It's the playloop thread that actually does all the work so there is no danger of blocking the event tap callback. * Introduce `--no-media-keys` switch so that users can disable all of mpv's media key handling at runtime (some prefer iTunes for example). * Use mpv's bindings so that users can customize what the media keys do via input.conf. Current bindings are: MK_PLAY cycle pause MK_PREV playlist_prev MK_NEXT playlist_next An additional benefit of this implementation is that it is completly handled by the `macosx_events` file instead of `macosx_application` making the project organization more straightforward.

demux_mf: allow displaying single image files, various cleanups Enable autoprobing for demux_mf, so that image files can be directly displayed with e.g. "mpv file.jpg --pause". (The --pause switch is needed to prevent the window from closing immediately.) Since demux_mf doesn't have any real file format probing and goes by file extension only, move the demuxer down the demuxer list to ensure it's checked last. (ffmpeg's demux_mf equivalent, "image2", probes by file extensions too, and there doesn't seem to be anything that can probe typical image file formats from binary data.) Remove the --mf "w" and "h" suboptions. Don't pass the width/height to the video stream header. Both of these are useless, because the decoder reads the real image size at a later point from the file headers. Remove setting the BITMAPINFOHEADER as well, as vd_lavc doesn't need this. Enable --correct-pts by default. This fixes displaying a single image with vo_vdpau (as mentioned by uau). Keep around a pointer to the sh_video stream header instead of accessing demuxer->video->sh_video. Fixes a crash when deselecting the video track. Note that the format probing is incorrect when opening images from HTTP locations. File extensions don't have to match the actual file format. A correct implementation would require to check the MIME type, or to probe the binary data correctly.

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code.

Rename to "mpv" This changes the name of this project to mpv. Most user-visible mentions of "MPlayer" and "mplayer" are changed to "mpv". The binary name and the default config file location are changed as well. The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/ Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts. These contained outdated dependencies and likely were more harmful than useful. (Patches which add working and well-tested packaging are welcome.)

options: change --vid, --aid, --sid options The --vid, --aid, --sid options now accept the values 'off' and 'auto', instead of having the user deal with the numeric values -2 and -1. The numeric values are not allowed anymore. Remove the --audio option. It was probably meant as compensation option for --no-audio.

``--no-resume-playback``
core: add playback resume feature (manual/opt-in) A "watch later" command is now mapped to Shift+Q. This quits the player and stores the playback state in a config file in ~/.mpv/watch_later/. When calling the player with the same file again, playback is resumed at that time position. It's also possible to make mpv save playback state always on quit with the --save-position-on-quit option. Likewise, resuming can be disabled with the --no-resume-playback option. This also attempts to save some playback parameters, like fullscreen state or track selection. This will unconditionally override config settings and command line options (which is probably not what you would expect, but in general nobody will really care about this). Some things are not backed up, because that would cause various problems. Additional subtitle files, video filters, etc. are not stored because that would be too hard and fragile. Volume/mute state are not stored because it would mess up if the system mixer is used, or if the system mixer was readjusted in the meantime. Basically, the tradeoff between perfect state restoration and complexity/fragility makes it not worth to attempt to implement it perfectly, even if the result is a little bit inconsistent.

Rename to "mpv" This changes the name of this project to mpv. Most user-visible mentions of "MPlayer" and "mplayer" are changed to "mpv". The binary name and the default config file location are changed as well. The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/ Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts. These contained outdated dependencies and likely were more harmful than useful. (Patches which add working and well-tested packaging are welcome.)

``--osd-bar-w=<1-100>``
osd: draw the OSD bar with ASS vector drawings Drawing the bar with vector drawings (instead with characters from the OSD font) offers more flexibility and looks better. This also adds chapter marks to the OSD bar, which are visible as small triangles on the top and bottom inner border of the bar. Change the default position of the OSD bar below the center of the screen. This is less annoying than putting the bar directly into the center of the view, where it obscures the video. The new position is not quite on the bottom of the screen to avoid collisions with subtitles. The old centered position can be forced with ``--osd-bar-align-y=0``. Also make it possible to change the OSD bar width/height with the new --osd-bar-w and --osd-bar-h options. It's possible that the new OSD bar renders much slower than the old one. There are two reasons for this: 1. the character based bar allowed libass to cache each character, while the vector drawing forces it to redraw every time the bar position changes. 2., the bar position is updated at a much higher granularity (the bar position is passed along as float instead of as integer in the range 0-100, so the bar will be updated on every single video frame).

Committers: * Clément Bœsch <ubitux@gmail.com> (Initial conversion to RST.) * Uoti Urpala <uau@mplayer2.org> (Many updates.) * Myself (Minor edits.) Most text of the manpage has been directly taken from the old manpage, because this is a conversion, not a complete rewrite. [1] http://git.mplayer2.org/uau/mplayer2.git/log/?h=man

OSD and subtitles are always scaled with the window height, so specifying or expecting an absolute font size doesn't make sense. Such scaled pixel units are used to specify font border etc. as well. (Note: the font size is directly passed to libass. How the fonts are actually rasterized is outside of our control, but in theory ASS font sizes map to "script" pixels and then are scaled to screen size.) The default settings should be about the same, with slight difference due to rounding to the new scales. The OSD and subtitle fonts are not separately configurable. It has limited use and would double the number of newly added options, which would be more confusing than helpful. It could be easily added later, should the need arise. Other small details that change: - ASS_Style.Encoding is not set to -1 for subs anymore (assuming subs use VSFilter direction in -no-ass mode too) - use a different WrapStyle for OSD - ASS forced styles are not applied to OSD

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2 master branch after revision 159102e0cb.

``--playing-msg=<string>``
core: output --playing-msg message only after at least one frame is shown This way it's possible to retrieve correct information about video, like actual width/height, which in general are available only after at least one frame has been sent to the video output, such as dwidth/dheight. mpv_identify.sh becomes a bit slower, because we let it decode enough audio and video to fill the audio buffers and to send one frame to the video output. Also, --playing-msg isn't shown anymore with --frames=0 (could be fixed by special-casing it, should this break any use cases). Note that in some corner cases, like when the demuxer for some reason returns lots of audio packets but no video packets at the start, but video actually starts later, the --playing-msg will still be output before video starts.

The way mpv parses and uses playlist files is not safe against
maliciously constructed files. Such files may trigger harmful actions.
This has been the case for all mpv and MPlayer versions, but
unfortunately this fact was not well documented earlier, and some people
have even misguidedly recommended use of ``--playlist`` with untrusted
sources. Do NOT use ``--playlist`` with random internet sources or files
you do not trust!

Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts.

This option tunes various encoding properties of the PVR capture module.
It has to be used with any hardware MPEG encoder based card supported by
the V4L2 driver. The Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150/250/350/500 and all IVTV
based cards are known as PVR capture cards. Be aware that only Linux
2.6.18 kernel and above is able to handle MPEG stream through V4L2 layer.
Rename to "mpv" This changes the name of this project to mpv. Most user-visible mentions of "MPlayer" and "mplayer" are changed to "mpv". The binary name and the default config file location are changed as well. The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/ Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts. These contained outdated dependencies and likely were more harmful than useful. (Patches which add working and well-tested packaging are welcome.)

functionality is limited to switching between ``best`` and ``default`` if
the ``cycle`` input command is used.

The binary name and the default config file location are changed as well. The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/ Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts.

``--save-position-on-quit``
core: add playback resume feature (manual/opt-in) A "watch later" command is now mapped to Shift+Q. This quits the player and stores the playback state in a config file in ~/.mpv/watch_later/. When calling the player with the same file again, playback is resumed at that time position. It's also possible to make mpv save playback state always on quit with the --save-position-on-quit option. Likewise, resuming can be disabled with the --no-resume-playback option. This also attempts to save some playback parameters, like fullscreen state or track selection. This will unconditionally override config settings and command line options (which is probably not what you would expect, but in general nobody will really care about this). Some things are not backed up, because that would cause various problems. Additional subtitle files, video filters, etc. are not stored because that would be too hard and fragile. Volume/mute state are not stored because it would mess up if the system mixer is used, or if the system mixer was readjusted in the meantime. Basically, the tradeoff between perfect state restoration and complexity/fragility makes it not worth to attempt to implement it perfectly, even if the result is a little bit inconsistent.

This includes going to the next file with playlist navigation commands. After some discussion on IRC, it turned out that nobody thought this was good behavior. Disable it, and really make it save only on quit. Maybe the option is useless now, as the user could remap the CLOSE_WIN key binding. On the other hand, CLOSE_WIN sounds and _is_ a bit obscure.

The -end option always specifies an absolute end time, as opposed to -endpos/-length. All these options (--start, --end, --length) now accept relative times. Percent positions (e.g. "--start=30%") are interpreted as fractions of the file duration. Negative times (e.g. "--start=-1:00) are interpreted relative to the end of the file. Chapters (e.g. "--start=#3") yield the chapter's time position. The chapter support might be able to replace --chapter completely, but for now I am not sure how well this works out with e.g. DVDs and BDs, and a separate --chapter option is useful interface-wise.

``--slave-broken``
core: intentionally cripple slave mode Rename -slave to -slave-broken to prevent slave mode applications from working. Do this to prevent horrible user experiences, in case someone should attempt to try this version of mplayer with smplayer and others. This also makes it clear that we don't intend to keep slave mode compatibility, because the slave mode protocol is horrible and bad. See the changes in options.rst for further reasons and comments.

2013-07-08 18:02:14 +02:00
to the removed ``--slave`` switch.
.. attention::
Changes incompatible to slave mode applications have been made. In
particular, the status line output was changed, which is used by some
applications to determine the current playback position. This switch
has been renamed to prevent these applications from working with this
version of mpv, because it would lead to buggy and confusing behavior
only. Moreover, the slave mode protocol is so horribly bad that it
should not be used for new programs, nor should existing programs
attempt to adapt to the changed output and use the ``--slave-broken``
switch. Instead, a new, saner protocol should be developed (and will be,
if there is enough interest).
This affects most third-party GUI frontends.

For most audio outputs, this is a good thing, as they have either their own (bad) soft volume implementation, or control the system mixer. With ao_pulse, the situation is a bit different: it supports per-application volume (i.e. volume control is not really global). More importantly, ao_pulse uses a rather large audio buffer, and changing the volume with mplayer's volume filter has a large delay. With the native ao_pulse volume control, it's instant, because PulseAudio's audio filtering happens at a later stage in its processing pipeline (inaccessible for mplayer). This means native volume control should really be allowed for ao_pulse, while it's the reverse for other audio outputs. Make --softvol a choice option, and add a new "auto" choice. This is default and will use PA's volume control with ao_pulse, and mplayer's volume filter otherwise (i.e. the old softvol behavior).

The maximum value of ``--volume`` as well as the ``volume`` property

This means that with ``--softvol-max=200``, ``--volume=100`` sets
maximum amplification, i.e. amplify by 200%. The default volume (no

What makes this even worse is that --softvol-max suggests that it extends the range of --volume, which is not the case. (And passing a volume larger than 100 to --volume didn't even print a warning.)

Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code.

The -end option always specifies an absolute end time, as opposed to -endpos/-length. All these options (--start, --end, --length) now accept relative times. Percent positions (e.g. "--start=30%") are interpreted as fractions of the file duration. Negative times (e.g. "--start=-1:00) are interpreted relative to the end of the file. Chapters (e.g. "--start=#3") yield the chapter's time position. The chapter support might be able to replace --chapter completely, but for now I am not sure how well this works out with e.g. DVDs and BDs, and a separate --chapter option is useful interface-wise.

.. admonition:: Warning
If you force the charset, even subtitles that are known to be
UTF-8 will be recoded, which is perhaps not what you expect. Prefix
codepages with ``utf8:`` if you want the codepage to be used only if the
input is not valid UTF-8.
sub: allow specifying a fallback codepage if input is not UTF-8 Normally, --subcp always forces conversion. This really always forces conversion, even if the UTF-8 check on the input succeeds. Extend the --subcp to allow codepages as fallback if UTF-8 doesn't work. So, for example --subcp=utf8:cp1250 will use UTF-8 if the input looks like UTF-8, and will fall back to use cp1250 if the UTF-8 check fails. I think this should actually be the default, but on the other hand, this changes the semantics of the option, and a user would actually expect --subcp to force conversion, rather than silently using UTF-8 if that happens to work.

You can specify your language using a two letter language code to make
sub: add subtitle charset conversion This code was once part of subreader.c, then traveled to libass, and now made its way back to the fork of the fork of the original code, MPlayer. It works pretty much the same as subreader.c, except that we have to concatenate some packets to do auto-detection. This is rather annoying, but for all we know the actual source file could be a binary format. Unlike subreader.c, the iconv context is reopened on each packet. This is simpler, and with respect to multibyte encodings, more robust. Reopening is probably not a very fast, but I suspect subtitle charset conversion is not an operation that happens often or has to be fast. Also, this auto-detection is disabled for microdvd - this is the only format we know that has binary data in its packets, but is actually decoded to text. FFmpeg doesn't really allow us to solve this properly, because a) the input packets can be binary, and b) the output will be checked whether it's UTF-8, and if it's not, the output is thrown away and an error message is printed. We could just recode the decoded subtitles before sd_ass if it weren't for that.
2013-06-23 22:15:04 +02:00
ENCA detect the codepage automatically. If unsure, enter anything (if the
language is invalid, mpv will complain and list valid languages).

manpage: document the dangers of some subtitle options Setting some subtitle options may lead to incorrect rendering of complex ASS subtitle scripts, such as displaced signs or visual artifacts. The user should be made aware that this can happen. In theory, libass could make using some of these options relatively safe, but it doesn't. Note that there are potentially much more options that could in theory break subtitle rendering, but add a warning only to the most fragile ones.

This affects ASS subtitles as well, and may lead to incorrect subtitle
rendering. Use with care, or use ``--sub-text-margin-y`` instead.
``--sub-scale=<0-100>``
osd: make the OSD and sub font more customizable Make more aspects of the OSD font customizable. This also affects the font used for unstyled subtitles (such as SRT), or when using the --no-ass option. This adds back some customizability that was lost with commit 74e7a1 (osd: use libass for OSD rendering). Removed options: --ass-border-color --ass-color --font --subfont --subfont-text-scale Added options: --osd-color --osd-border --osd-back-color --osd-shadow-color --osd-font --osd-font-size --osd-border-size --osd-margin-x --osd-margin-y --osd-shadow-offset --osd-spacing --sub-scale The font size is now specified in pixels as it would be rendered on a window with a height of 720 pixels. OSD and subtitles are always scaled with the window height, so specifying or expecting an absolute font size doesn't make sense. Such scaled pixel units are used to specify font border etc. as well. (Note: the font size is directly passed to libass. How the fonts are actually rasterized is outside of our control, but in theory ASS font sizes map to "script" pixels and then are scaled to screen size.) The default settings should be about the same, with slight difference due to rounding to the new scales. The OSD and subtitle fonts are not separately configurable. It has limited use and would double the number of newly added options, which would be more confusing than helpful. It could be easily added later, should the need arise. Other small details that change: - ASS_Style.Encoding is not set to -1 for subs anymore (assuming subs use VSFilter direction in -no-ass mode too) - use a different WrapStyle for OSD - ASS forced styles are not applied to OSD

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText.

Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users.

Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts.

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action.

Use _ for spaces in names (or play with quoting ;-) ). The channel

This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code.

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code.

Now each decoder exports a list of decoders (and the codec it supports) via add_decoders(). The order matters, and the first decoder for a given decoder is preferred over the other decoders. E.g. all ad_mpg123 decoders are preferred over ad_lavc, because it comes first in the mpcodecs_ad_drivers array. Likewise, decoders within ad_lavc that are enumerated first by libavcodec (using av_codec_next()) are preferred. (This is actually critical to select h264 software decoding by default instead of vdpau. libavcodec and ffmpeg/avconv use the same method to select decoders by default, so we hope this is sane.) The codec names follow libavcodec's codec names as defined by AVCodecDescriptor.name (see libavcodec/codec_desc.c). Some decoders have names different from the canonical codec name. The AVCodecDescriptor API is relatively new, so we need a compatibility layer for older libavcodec versions for codec names that are referenced internally, and which are different from the decoder name. (Add a configure check for that, because checking versions is getting way too messy.) demux/codec_tags.c is generated from the former codecs.conf (minus "special" decoders like vdpau, and excluding the mappings that are the same as the mappings libavformat's exported RIFF tables). It contains all the mappings from FourCCs to codec name. This is needed for demux_mkv, demux_mpg, demux_avi and demux_asf. demux_lavf will set the codec as determined by libavformat, while the other demuxers have to do this on their own, using the mp_set_audio/video_codec_from_tag() functions. Note that the sh_audio/video->format members don't uniquely identify the codec anymore, and sh->codec takes over this role. Replace the --ac/--vc/--afm/--vfm with new --vd/--ad options, which provide cover the functionality of the removed switched. Note: there's no CODECS_FLAG_FLIP flag anymore. This means some obscure container/video combinations (e.g. the sample Film_200_zygo_pro.mov) are played flipped. ffplay/avplay doesn't handle this properly either, so we don't care and blame ffmeg/libav instead.

Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2 master branch after revision 159102e0cb. Committers: * Clément Bœsch <ubitux@gmail.com> (Initial conversion to RST.) * Uoti Urpala <uau@mplayer2.org> (Many updates.) * Myself (Minor edits.) Most text of the manpage has been directly taken from the old manpage, because this is a conversion, not a complete rewrite. [1] http://git.mplayer2.org/uau/mplayer2.git/log/?h=man

``--vid=<ID|auto|no>``
options: accept "yes" and "no" only for flags This removes the alternative values like "off", "0", "false" etc., and also the non-English versions of these. This is done for general consistency. It's better to have a single way of doing things when multiple ways don't add singificant value. Also update some choices for consistency.

video: make it possible to scale/pan the video by arbitrary amounts Add --video-align-x/y, --video-pan-x/y, --video-scale options and properties. See the additions to the manpage for description and semantics. These transformations are intentionally done on top of panscan. Unlike the (now removed) --panscanrange option, this doesn't affect the default panscan behavior. (Although panscan itself becomes kind of useless if the new options are used.)
2013-06-15 00:15:32 +02:00
``--video-align-x=<-1-1>``, ``--video-align-y=<-1-1>``
Moves the video rectangle within the black borders, which are usually added
to pad the video to screen if video and screen aspect ratios are different.
``--video-align-y=-1`` would move the video to the top of the screen
(leaving a border only on the bottom), a value of ``0`` centers it
(default), and a value of ``-1`` would put the video at the bottom of the
screen.
If video and screen aspect match perfectly, these options do nothing.
This option is disabled if the ``--no-keepaspect`` option is used.
``--video-pan-x=<value>``, ``--video-pan-y=<value>``
Moves the displayed video rectangle by the given value in the X or Y
direction. The unit is in fractions of the size of the scaled video (the
full size, even if parts of the video are not visible due to panscan or
other options).
For example, displaying a 1280x720 video fullscreen on a 1680x1050 screen
with ``--video-pan-x=-0.1`` would move the video 168 pixels to the left
(making 128 pixels of the source video invisible).
This option is disabled if the ``--no-keepaspect`` option is used.

2013-09-01 03:27:03 +02:00
Disable scaling of the video. If the window is larger than the video,
black bars are added. Otherwise, the video is cropped. The video still
can be influenced by the other ``--video-...`` options. (If the
``--video-zoom`` option is set to a value other than ``1``, scaling is
enabled, but the video isn't automatically scaled to the window size.)
Note that the scaler algorithm may still be used, even if the video isn't
scaled. For example, this can influence chroma conversion.
This option is disabled if the ``--no-keepaspect`` option is used.

2013-06-15 00:15:32 +02:00
``--video-zoom=<value>``
Adjust the video display scale factor by the given value. The unit is in
fractions of original video size.
For example, given a 1280x720 video, ``--video-zoom=-0.1`` would make the
video by 128 pixels smaller in X direction, and 72 pixels in Y direction.
This option is disabled if the ``--no-keepaspect`` option is used.
