"drop-frame-count" -> "decoder-frame-drop-count"
"vo-drop-frame-count" -> "frame-drop-count"
This gets rid of the backwards "drop-frame" part in the name.
Maybe calling the new property "frame-drops" would be better, but there
are already a bunch of similar properties that end in "-count".
Introduce the --opengl-hwdec-interop option, which replaces
--hwdec-preload. The new option allows explicit selection of the interop
backend.
This is relatively complex, and I would have preferred not to add this,
but it's probably useful to debug certain problems. In exchange, the
"new" option documents that pretty much any but the simplest use of it
will not be forward compatible.
Remove ad_spdif from the normal codec list, and select it explicitly.
One goal was to decouple this from the normal codec selection, so
they're less entangled and the decoder selection code can be simplified
in the far future. This means spdif codec selection is now done
explicitly via select_spdif_codec(). We can also remove the weird
requirements on "dts" and "dts-hd" for the --audio-spdif option, and it
can just do the right thing.
Now both video and audio codecs consist of a single codec family each,
vd_lavc and ad_lavc.
this replaces the old fullscreen with the native
macOS fullscreen. additional the
--fs-black-out-screens was removed since the new
API doesn't support it in a way the old one did.
it can possibly be re-added if done manually.
Fixes#2857#3272#1352#2062#3864
As documented in interface-changes.rst. This makes it much easier to
follow what the heck is going on.
Whether this is adequate for real-world use is unknown.
Long planned. Leads to some sanity.
There still are some rather gross things. Especially g_groups is ugly,
and a hack that can hopefully be removed. (There is a plan for it, but
whether it's implemented depends on how much energy is left.)
As threatened by the API changes document.
We can actually keep the deprecated --playlist-pos and --cache options,
since they are aliases and not used by the corresponding properties.
They are inconsistent, but do no harm. Keep them for now for the sake of
the command line user.
mpv_identify.sh partially stopped working, because it was never updated.
The shell magic can't deal with property names that contain "/", so we
can't replace "samplerate" with "audio-params/samplerate" - just remove
these properties. (How about you use ffprobe?)
Since the recent release was named 0.22.0 instead of 0.21.1, bump all
mentions of 0.22.0 to 0.23.0. These were planned removals of deprecated
versions, which obviously didn't happen in 0.22.0.
Use the device name as fallback. This is ugly, but still better than
skipping the description entirely. This can be an issue on ALSA, where
the API can return entries without proper description.
Rename the text subtitle options from --sub-text- to --sub-
and --ass- options to --sub-ass-.
The intention is to common sub options to prefixed --sub-
and special ASS option be seen as a special version of sub options.
The OSD options that work like the --sub- options are still named
--osd-.
Man page updated including a short note about renamed --sub-text-*
and --ass-* options to --sub-* and --sub-ass-*.
This is potentially incompatible if a program used negative timestamps
to deal with timestamp resets, which would potentially lead to mpv
producing and using negative timestamps.
With the merging of options and properties, the mpv_set_option()
function is close to being useless, and mpv_set_property() can be used
for everything instead. There are certain conflicts remaining, which are
explained in depth in the docs. For now, none of this should affect
existing code using the client API.
Make mpv_set_property() redirect to mpv_set_option() before
initialization.
Remove some options marked as M_OPT_FIXED. The "pause" and "speed"
options cannot be written anymore without the playloop being notified by
it, so the M_OPT_FIXED does nothing. For "vo-mmcss-profile", the problem
was lack of synchronization, which has been added. I'm not sure what the
problem was with "frames" - I think it was only marked as M_OPT_FIXED
because changing it during playback will have no effect. Except for
pause/speed, these changes are needed to make them writable as
properties after mpv_initialize().
Also replace all remaining uses of CONF_GLOBAL with M_OPT_FIXED.
Setting the osc or ytdl properties will now load/unload the associated
scripts. (For ytdl this does not mean the currently played URL will be
reloaded.)
Also add a changelog entry for this, which also covers the preceding
work for --terminal.
Some properties had a different type from their equivalent options (such
as mute, volume, deinterlace, edition). This wasn't really sane, as raw
option values should be always within their bounds. On the other hand,
these properties use a different type to reflect runtime limits (such as
range of available editions), or simply to improve the "UI" (you don't
want to cycle throuhg the completely useless "auto" value when cycling
the "mute" property).
Handle this by making them always return the option type, but also
allowing them to provide a "constricted" type, which is used for UI
purposes. All M_PROPERTY_GET_CONSTRICTED_TYPE changes are related to
this.
One consequence is that you can set the volume property to arbitrary
high values just like with the --volume option, but using the "add"
command it still restricts it to the --volume-max range.
Also deprecate --chapter, as it is grossly incompatible to the chapter
property. We pondered renaming it to --chapters, or introducing a more
powerful --range option, but concluded that --start --end is actually
enough.
These changes appear to take care of the last gross property/option
incompatibilities, although there might still be a few lurking.
Conflicts with the "playlist-pos" property. They're really a bit too
different, and since the --playlist-pos option is relatively new and
obscure, just rename it to get this out of the way.
All option write accesses are now put through the property interface,
which means runtime option value verification and runtime updates are
applied. This is done even for command line arguments and config files.
This has many subtle and not-so-subtle consequences. The potential for
unintended and intended subtle or not-subtle behavior changes is very
large.
Architecturally, this is us literally jumping through hoops. It really
should work the other way around, with options being able to have
callbacks for value verification and applying runtime updates. But this
would require rewriting the entirety of command.c. This change is more
practical, and if anything will at least allow incremental changes.
Some options are too incompatible for this to work - these are excluded
with an explicit blacklist.
This change fixes many issues caused by the mismatch between properties
and options. For example, this fixes#3281.
They're useless, and I have no idea what they're actually supposed to do
(wrt. pending input processing changes).
Also remove their implicit uses from the IPC handlers.
Edit the 0.21.0 section: remove the redundant vo_opengl items, move some
up. Move the additions (which are less important and which aren't
documented completely anyway) below the incompatible
changes/deprecations.
Mostly untested.
This is not compatible. It removes the URL fields for track range and
cdrom speed (what did this even do). The device is not not to be
prefixed with an additional "/" if it's put into the URL. I can't be
bothered to keep these things compatible, just rip your damn CDs
instead.
And introduce a global option which does this. Or more precisely, this
deprecates the global wasapi and coreaudio options, and adds a new one
that merges their functionality. (Due to the way the sub-option
deprecation mechanism works, this is simpler.)
These never made any sense. They checked the --vo/--ao option, and
applied the profile corresponding to the first entry. So the only way to
get any use of those was to use the --ao or --vo option explicitly. You
can get the same functionality by making a manual profile, making these
force the ao/vo, and then using --profile on command line instead of
--vo/--ao.
With the recent vo_opengl changes it doesn't do anything anymore.
I don't think a deprecation period is necessary, because the command
was always marked as experimental.
With the conversion from sub-options to global options, this becomes
useless. This change also comes slightly too soon, because not all VOs
have been changed yet.
vo_opengl sub-option were always rather annoying to handle. It seems
better to make them global options instead. This is simpler and easier
to use. The only disadvantage we are aware of is that it's not clear
that many/all of these new global options work with vo_opengl only.
--vo=opengl-hq is also deprecated.
There is extensive compatibility with the old behavior. One exception is
that --vo-defaults will not apply to opengl-hq (though with opengl it
still works). vo-cmdline is also dysfunctional and will be removed in a
following commit.
These changes also affect opengl-cb.
The update mechanism is still rather inefficient: it requires syncing
with the VO after each option change, rather than batching updates.
There's also no granularity (video.c just updates "everything", and if
auto-ICC profiles are enabled, vo_opengl.c will fetch them on each
update).
Most of the manpage changes were done by Niklas Haas <git@haasn.xyz>.
The --cache option and cache property conflict, so one of them has to be
renamed. The option is probably used frequently, so initiate
deprecation/rename of the property.
Deprecated in favor of user-shaders, which are functionally equivalent
but superior. (Except in the case of scaler-shader, which has no direct
replacement, but it turned out to be a very unpopular feature either way
- most custom scalers don't fit into the mpv kernel infrastructure and
are therefore implemented as user shaders either way)

Make some existing properties behave more like options. This mostly
means they don't deny access if the associated component is not active,
but redirects to the option.
One kind of fishy change is that we apply --brightness etc. only if
they're not set to the default value. This won't necessarily work with
--vo=xv, but affects only cases where 1. the Xv adapter has been changed
to non-defaults, and 2. the user tries to reset them with mpv by passing
e.g. --brightness=0. We don't care about Xv, and the noted use-case is
dumb, so this change is acceptable.
These conflict with options of the same name, and prevent a "full"
unification. Not addressed is the "cache" property, and possibly a few
properties that behave differently from their equivalent options.
Now options are accessible through the property list as well, which
unifies them to a degree.
Not all options support runtime changes (meaning affected components
need to be restarted for the options to take effects). Remove from the
manpage those properties which are cleanly mapped to options anyway.
From the user-perspective they're just options available through the
property interface.
The client API can do this (and there are apparently some libmpv using
projects which rely on this). But it's just unnecessary bloat as it
requires a separate code path from the option parser. It would be better
to remove this code. Formally deprecate it, including API bump and
warning in the API changes file to make it really clear.
Instead of adding "no-"-prefixed aliases to the internal option list,
which will act like normal options, do it in the parsing stage. This
turns out to be simpler (and cheaper), and avoids adding aliased
options.
The --image-display-duration option controls how long an image is
displayed. It's also possible to display the image forever (until manual
user interaction stops playback).
With this, the core drops the old method to "drain" video (i.e. waiting
for the last frame duration on end of playback). Instead, we reuse
MPContext.time_frame. The old mechanism was disabled for non-images
anyway.
Fixes#3425.
