In some cases (when using tune=animation as an additional option), the
N900 profile caused use of 6 reference frames, where Level 3.0 only
allows 5 reference frames. This prevented playback on the Nokia N900.
This has been fixed by always specifying refs=5.
This yields generally smaller files, by avoiding upscaling at all times.
This method may or may not be useful for iOS, needs testing there.
Note: this uses three instances of vf_scale:
1. Scale to target dimensions, ONLY if both are <= original video
dimensions.
2. Failing that, scale to width*<calculated height by display aspect>,
ONLY if <calculated height by display aspect> <= original video
height.
3. Failing that, scale to <calculated width by display aspect>*height.
When the test before failed, we KNOW that <calculated width by
display aspect> <= original video width.
So basically, only one of the three scalers should ever be active, as
the last two scalers only can ever have an effect if the aspect ratio
mismatches the video.
As for danger of roundoff errors:
If scaler 1 succeeded, we have won. Scalers 2 and 3 will never do
anything, because display resolution == video resolution. Here it is
crucial that no rounding of video size to display size takes place; in
other words, the target display size already MUST be even, which it is
because we pass 2 to the rounding parameter of the dsize filter.
Scaler 2 and 3 are obviously mutually exclusive, as they depend on
opposite aspect ratio conditions.
We later should put this functionality directly into vf_scale...
I doubt anyone needs to adjust hue on a frequent basis, and gamma is
much more useful.
Suggestions for more radical changes of key bindings are welcome
(there's a lot of useless crap mapped).
For all suboptions, "flat" options were available by separating the
parent option and the sub option with ":", e.g. "--rawvideo:w=123". 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.
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.
This could write .edl files in MPlayer's format. Support for playing
these files has been removed from mplayer2 quite a while ago. (mplayer2
can play its own, "new" .edl format, but does not support writing it.)
Since this is a rather obscure functionality, and it's not really clear
how it should behave (e.g. what should it do if a new file is played),
and wasn't all that great to begin with (what if you made a mistake?
the "edl_mark" command sucks for editing), get rid of it.
Suggestions how to reimplement this in a nicer way are welcome. If it's
just about retrieving timecodes, this in input.conf will do:
KEY print_text "position: ${=time-pos}"
--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.
mplayer's video chain traditionally used FourCCs for pixel formats. For
example, it used IMGFMT_YV12 for 4:2:0 YUV, which was defined to the
string 'YV12' interpreted as unsigned int. Additionally, it used to
encode information into the numeric values of some formats. The RGB
formats had their bit depth and endian encoded into the least
significant byte. Extended planar formats (420P10 etc.) had chroma
shift, endian, and component bit depth encoded. (This has been removed
in recent commits.)
Replace the FourCC mess with a simple enum. Remove all the redundant
formats like YV12/I420/IYUV. Replace some image format names by
something more intuitive, most importantly IMGFMT_YV12 -> IMGFMT_420P.
Add img_fourcc.h, which contains the old IDs for code that actually uses
FourCCs. Change the way demuxers, that output raw video, identify the
video format: they set either MP_FOURCC_RAWVIDEO or MP_FOURCC_IMGFMT to
request the rawvideo decoder, and sh_video->imgfmt specifies the pixel
format. Like the previous hack, this is supposed to avoid the need for
a complete codecs.cfg entry per format, or other lookup tables. (Note
that the RGB raw video FourCCs mostly rely on ffmpeg's mappings for NUT
raw video, but this is still considered better than adding a raw video
decoder - even if trivial, it would be full of annoying lookup tables.)
The TV code has not been tested.
Some corrective changes regarding endian and other image format flags
creep in.
Deprecate the hardware specific video codec entries (like ffh264vdpau).
Replace them with the --hwdec switch, which requests that a specific
hardware decoding API should be used. The codecs.conf entries will be
removed at a later time, but for now they are useful for testing and
compatibility.
Instead of --vc=ffh264vdpau, --hwdec=vdpau should be used.
Add a fallback if hardware decoding fails. Most hardware decoders
(including vdpau) support only a subset of h264, and having such a
fallback is supposed to enable a better user experience.
Simplify the decoder pixel format handling by making it handle only
the case vd_lavc needs: a video stream always decodes to a single
pixel format.
Remove the handling for multiple pixel formats, and remove the
codecs.conf pixel format declarations that are left.
Remove the handling of "ambiguous" pixel formats like YV12 vs. I420 (via
VDCTRL_QUERY_FORMAT etc.). This is only a problem if the video chain
supports I420, but not YV12, which doesn't seem to be the case anywhere,
and in fact would not have any advantage.
Make the "flip" flag a global per-codec flag, rather than a pixel format
specific flag. (Some ffmpeg decoders still return a flipped image, so
this has to be done manually.) Also fix handling of the flip operation:
do not overwrite the global flip option, and make the --flip option
invert the codec flip option rather than overriding it.
ad_dvdpcm reads MPEG specific headers directly (passed through codecdata
by demux_mpg), so you couldn't use ffmpeg's "pcm_dvd" with demux_mpg.
Change demux_mpg to set the correct audio parameters directly. The code
for this is taken from ad_dvdpcm.
ad_dvdpcm is evil because it still does partial packet reads (with
demux_read_data()), and it's redundant to libavcodec anyway.
Since libavcodec doesn't have a "generic" PCM decoder, we have to go out
of out way to make it look like ad_lavc provides one: make it provide a
pseudo "pcm" decoder, which maps some format tags manually to the
individual libavcodec PCM decoders.
Format tags which uniquely map to one libavcodec could be mapped via
codecs.conf. Since defining these in tag_map[] is much shorter (one line
vs. a full codec entry in codecs.conf), and since we need tag_map[]
anyway, we don't use codecs.conf for these.
ad_pcm is evil because it still does partial packet reads (with
demux_read_data()), and it's redundant to libavcodec anyway.
The presence of inttypes.h is guaranteed by POSIX. We don't need to
check for it. We don't need to provide a compatibility header either.
Apparently libc5 systems didn't provide inttypes.h. libc5 is ancient,
unmaintained, and not used by modern Linux systems.
"screenshot" now maps to "screenshot subtitles" by default, instead of
"screenshot video". Swap the argument order: the more useful argument
should come first. Remove the compatibility aliases for numeric choices
(e.g. "screenshot 1 0" won't work anymore).
Video Decode Acceleration Framework is a framework by Apple to provide
GPU assisted H.264 decoding. It is available on Mac OS X v10.6.3 and
later with Mac models equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 320M,
GeForce GT 330M, ATI HD Radeon GFX, Intel HD Graphics and others.
This commit uses the new video decoder added in FFmpeg based upon this
framework.
Add a make task and python script to create a Mac OS X Application Bundle
to be used when compiling with the --enable-macosx-finder and
--enable-macosx-bundle configure flags.
The main svg icon was created by me and heavily inspired by Apple's iTunes
and AppStore icon designs. We are still looking for something better.
For the audio, movie and subtitles icons I added the main logo to MPlayer OSX
Extended icons.
Use with `make osxbundle` after running configure and make.
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.
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.)
Allow the values "up" and "down" as step argument for the cycle input
command. Previously, this argument was a float, which specified an
arbitrary step value and direction (similar to the add command).
Instead of "1" and "-1", "up" and "down" is to be used.
Float values are still accepted. That capability might be removed in the
future, as there's probably hardly any actual use for arbitrary step
values.
The OSD bar is very annoying when seeking. Especially when the seeks
are very small, the OSD doesn't show any interesting information. The
exact seeking commands are a use case where the user definitely never
wants to see a seek bar.
Allow using the choice type (as it used for command line) for arguments
of input commands. Change the magic integer arguments of some commands
(like seek) to use choices instead. The old numeric values are still
allowed (but only those which made sense before, not arbitrary
integers).
In order to do this, remove the input.c specific types (like
MP_CMD_ARG_INT) completely and specify commands using the m_option
types.
Also, add the special choice "-" to some arguments. It's supposed to
signify the default value, so arguments can be easily skipped. Maybe the
choice option should recognize this and not change the previous value,
but we'll leave this for later.
For now, leave compatibility integer values for all new choice
arguments, e.g. "0" maps to 0. We could let the choice option type do
this automatically, but we don't, because we want user input values and
internal mplayer values decoupled in general. The compatibility options
will be removed one day, too.
Also, remove optional args for strings - would require either annoying
additional code, or copying strings twice. It's not used, so remove it.
Previously, both the command parser and property expansion
(m_properties_expand_string) handled escapes with '\'. Move all escape
handling into the command parser, and remove it from the property code.
This removes the need to escape strings twice for commands that use
property expansion.
The command parser is practically rewritten: it uses m_option for the
actual parsing, and reduces hackish C-string handling.
Now it depends on the command whether a property wraps around, or stops
at min/max valid property value.
For practically all properties, it's quite unambiguous what the "switch"
command should have done, and there's technically no need to replace it
with these new commands. More over, most properties that cycle are
boolean anyway. But it seems more orthogonal to make the difference
explicit, rather than hardcoding it. Having different commands also
makes it more explicit to the user what these commands do, both just due
to the naming, and what wrapping policy is used. The code is simpler
too.
Replace --hardframedrop with --framedrop=hard. Rename the framedrop
property from "framedropping" to "framedrop" for the sake of making
command line options have the same name as their corresponding
property. Change the property to accept choice values instead of
numeric values.
Remove unused/forgotten auto_quality variable.
osd_show_[property_]text => show_text
osd_show_progression => show_progress
show_text, osd_show_property_text and osd_show_text both map to the
code for the previous osd_show_property_text. The only special thing
about osd_show_text is that you don't need to escape "$". Also,
unfortunately osd_show_property_text requires escaping things twice,
one time for the command parser, and the other time for the property
formatting code, while osd_show_text needed only one level of escaping.
Use "-" instead of "_" in property names. The intent is that property
names and options names should be the same (if they refer to the same
thing), and options use "-" as word separator.
Rename some other properties too, e.g. "switch_audio" -> "audio".
Add a way to translate the old property names to the new ones, similar
to the input command legacy bridge.
Update input.conf. Use the new property names, and don't use legacy
commands.
This allows to define which stream is to be used as first output stream.
This is useful because dvdauthor refuses VOB files where the audio
stream is the first stream.
This is needed by demux_mpg (and possibly by demux_ts) for PCM playback.
The decoder does the mapping from MPEG headers to the actual PCM format,
and also unpacks sample data for 20/24 bit formats.
It can't be re-implemented, because this isn't supported by libass. The
-subalign option and the associated sub-align slave property did
nothing. Remove them.
The rawaudio demuxer had a rather hard to use way to set the audio
format with the --rawaudio=format=value option. The user had to pass a
numeric value, which then was set as wFormatTag member in the
WAVEFORMATEX header.
Make it use the mplayer audio format (the same as --af=format=value).
Add a new internal pseudo audio codec tag, which is hopefully unused,
which makes ad_pcm use the value in wFormatTag as internal mplayer
audio format.
Playing non-PCM formats is disabled. (At least AC3 can be played
directly.)
This was removed in commit 6a26b4a665. Add it back, because it was
needed by demuxer_rawaudio and for PCM audio with demuxers other than
demux_lavf. (In practice, this broke rawaudio and PCM-in-Matroska only.)
Unlike with raw video, there is no single raw audio "decoder" in
libavcodec. Instead of trying to mess raw audio input into ad_ffmpeg
using a table to map audio formats to the respective libavcodec
decoders, it seems advantageous to simply add back ad_pcm.
Remove VESA and FBDEV specific code that was forgotten when the
respective VOs were removed. Remove references to old or broken
stuff from example.conf.
Add a new slave property which switches the current Matroska edition.
Since each edition can define an entirely new timeline, switching the
edition will simply restart playback at the beginning of the file with
the new edition selected.
Add 'E' as new keybinding to step the edition property.
DVD titles are still separate. Apparently they work similarly, but I
don't have any multi-title DVDs for testing. Also, cdda (for audio CDs)
uses the same mechanism as DVDs to report a number of titles, so there
seems to be confusion what exactly this mechanism is supposed to do.
That's why the edition code is completely separate for now.
Remove demuxer.num_titles. It was just a rather useless cache for the
return value of the DVD titles related STREAM_CTRL.
One rather obscure corner case isn't taken care of: if the ordered
chapters file has file local options set, they are reset on playback
restart. This is unexpected, because edition switching is meant to
behave like seeking back to the beginning of the file.
Probably all of these are supported by libavcodec. Missing things can
be added back.
Also remove qtpalette.h. It was used by demux_mov.c, and should have
been deleted with commit 1fde09db6f.
When the internal mplayer MPEG demuxer was removed (commit 1fde09db),
the default demuxer when using dvdnav was set to libavformat. Now it
turns out that this doesn't work with libavformat. It will terminate
playback right after the audio runs out (instead of looping it like the
video, or whatever it's supposed to do). I'm not sure what exactly the
problem is, but since 1. even mplayer-svn can't handle DVD menus
directly (missing highlights), 2. DVD menus are essentially worthless,
and 3. I don't directly watch DVDs, don't bother with it and remove it.
For basic playback, there's still libdvdread support.
Also, use pkg-config for libdvdread, and drop support for in-tree
libdvdread. Remove support for in-tree libdvdcss as well.
The generic hardware pass-through decoder ad_spdif (imported from
mplayer-svn) was mistakenly prefered over the default decoder mpg123.
This is the same as mplayer-svn commit 34192.
The spidfmpa entry was marked as "untested", which for inconceivable
reasons is preferred over entries marked "working". (The probe order
is untested, working, buggy. Possibly to "force" untested codecs to be
tested?) I didn't know this behavior, and skipped the corresponding
mplayer-svn commit 34192, as it looked like it would move up the entry
in autoprobe order (not the reverse), which might have been slightly
dangerous, or at least not something we would have to bother with.
The only change in behavior the incorrect entry caused was that playing
a shoutcast mp3 stream displayed "inf" as time on the mplayer status
line, instead the time since joining the stream. (The same can be seen
when starting mplayer-svn with -ac spdifmpa,mpg123 .) I'm not sure why
this happens; I can only guess that when spdifmpa throws away header
data when it fails initializing, or messes up something else.

Teletext requires special OSD support. Because I can't even test
teletext, I can't restore support for it. Since teletext can be
considered ancient and obscure, and since it doesn't make sense to keep
the remaining teletext code without being able to use it, I'm removing
it.
This reverts commit c8b0f21154.
This was a very bad idea. It caused A/V desync with some crappy AVI
files, and upon inspecting ad_mad.c, it seems all hope is lost.
Go back to the prefering the mpg123 & libav codecs.
Summary:
- There is no playtree anymore. It's reduced to a simple list.
- Options are now always global. You can still have per-file options,
but these are optional and require special syntax.
- The slave command pt_step has been removed, and playlist_next
and playlist_prev added. (See etc/input.conf changes.)
This is a user visible incompatible change, and will break slave-mode
applications.
- The pt_clear slave command is renamed to playlist_clear.
- Playtree entries could have multiple files. This is not the case
anymore, and playlist entries have always exactly one entry. Whenever
something adds more than one file (like ASX playlists or dvd:// or
dvdnav:// on the command line), all files are added as separate
playlist entries.
Note that some of the changes are quite deep and violent. Expect
regressions.
The playlist parsing code in particular is of low quality. I didn't try
to improve it, and merely spent to least effort necessary to keep it
somehow working. (Especially ASX playlist handling.)
The playtree code was complicated and bloated. It was also barely used.
Most users don't even know that mplayer manages the playlist as tree,
or how to use it. The most obscure features was probably specifying a
tree on command line (with '{' and '}' to create/close tree nodes). It
filled the player code with complexity and confused users with weird
slave commands like pt_up.
Replace the playtree with a simple flat playlist. Playlist parsers that
actually return trees are changed to append all files to the playlist
pre-order.
It used to be the responsibility of the playtree code to change per-file
config options. Now this is done by the player core, and the playlist
code is free of such details.
Options are not per-file by default anymore. This was a very obscure and
complicated feature that confused even experienced users. Consider the
following command line:
mplayer file1.mkv file2.mkv --no-audio file3.mkv
This will disable the audio for file2.mkv only, because options are
per-file by default. To make the option affect all files, you're
supposed to put it before the first file.
This is bad, because normally you don't need per-file options. They are
very rarely needed, and the only reasonable use cases I can imagine are
use of the encode backend (mplayer encode branch), or for debugging. The
normal use case is made harder, and the feature is perceived as bug.
Even worse, correct usage is hard to explain for users.
Make all options global by default. The position of an option isn't
significant anymore (except for options that compensate each other,
consider --shuffle --no-shuffle).
One other important change is that no options are reset anymore if a
new file is started. If you change settings with slave mode commands,
they will not be changed by playing a new file. (Exceptions include
settings that are too file specific, like audio/subtitle stream
selection.)
There is still some need for per-file options. Debugging and encoding
are use cases that profit from per-file options. Per-file profiles (as
well as per-protocol and per-VO/AO options) need the implementation
related mechanisms to backup and restore options when the playback file
changes.
Simplify the save-slot stuff, which is possible because there is no
hierarchical play tree anymore. Now there's a simple backup field.
Add a way to specify per-file options on command line. Example:
mplayer f1.mkv -o0 --{ -o1 f2.mkv -o2 f3.mkv --} f4.mkv -o3
will have the following options per file set:
f1.mkv, f4.mkv: -o0 -o3
f2.mkv, f3.mkv: -o0 -o3 -o1 -o2
The options --{ and --} start and end per-file options. All files inside
the { } will be affected by the options equally (similar to how global
options and multiple files are handled). When playback of a file starts,
the per-file options are set according to the command line. When
playback ends, the per-file options are restored to the values when
playback started.
Most of these demuxers and decoders are provided in better form by
libav, while the mplayer builtin ones are essentially unmaintained. The
only legimitate use case for not using the libav ones was working around
libav bugs or bugs related to the way mplayer uses libav. Instead of
trying to keep dead code alive, development effort should go into
improving libav or the mplayer libav glue code.
Note that the libav demuxer have been preferred over the mplayer builtin
ones for a while in mplayer2. There were some exceptions: playing DVDs
with dvdnav or playing network sources. (That's because some stream
modules and network.c requested explicit file formats, such as
DEMUXER_TYPE_MPEG_PS, which mapped to builtin demuxers.) With this
commit, they are switched to use libav. One caveat is that the requested
format is not passed to libavformat, instead we rely on the auto probing
to select the correct libav demuxer (see code in demux_open_stream()).
Someone on the internet once told me that MAD is the best mp3 decoder
(and better than mpg123), so he must be right. I used to force mad in
my config file, but now I'm annoyed by the line "Forced audio codec"
that goes along with it.
Because I think that message is necessary and needed to discourage
users from doing stupid things, but I still want to get rid of this
message, I'm simply moving MAD up in the codec selection order.
(Please look away.)
Conflicts:

bstr.c
cfg-mplayer.h
defaultopts.c
libvo/video_out.c
The conflict in bstr.c is due to uau adding a bstr_getline function in
commit 2ba8b91a97. This function already existed in this branch.
While uau's function is obviously derived from mine, it's incompatible.
His function preserves line breaks, while mine strips them. Add a
bstr_strip_linebreaks function, fix all other uses of bstr_getline, and
pick uau's implementation.
In .gitignore, change vo_gl3_shaders.h to use an absolute path
additional to resolving the merge conflict.
Add support for using libavcodec decoders that do not have entries in
codecs.conf. This is currently only used with demux_lavf, and the
codec selection is based on codec_id returned by libavformat. Also
modify codec-related terminal output somewhat to make it use
information from libavcodec and avoid excessively long default output.
The new any-lavc-codec support is implemented with codecs.conf entries
that invoke vd_ffmpeg/ad_ffmpeg without directly specifying any
libavcodec codec name. In this mode, the decoders now instead select
the libavcodec codec based on codec_id previously set by demux_lavf
(if any). These new "generic" codecs.conf entries specify "status
buggy", so that they're tried after any specific entries with
higher-priority status.
Add new directive "anyinput" to codecs.conf syntax. This means the
entry will always match regardless of fourcc. This is used for the
above new codecs.conf entries (so the driver always gets to decide
whether to accept the input, and will fail init() if it can't find a
suitable codec in libavcodec). Remove parsing support for the obsolete
codecs.conf directive "cpuflags". This directive has not had any
effect and has not been used in default codecs.conf since many years
ago.
Shorten codec-related terminal output. When using libavcodec decoders,
show the libavcodec long_name field rather than codecs.conf "info"
field as the name of the codec. Stop showing the codecs.conf entry
name and "vfm/afm" name by default, as these are rarely needed;
they're now in verbose output only. Show "VIDEO:" line at VO
initialization rather than at demuxer open. This didn't really belong
in demuxer code; the new location may show more accurate values (known
after decoder has been opened) and works right if video track is
changed after initial demuxer open.
The vd.c changes (primarily done for terminal output changes) remove
round-to-even behavior from code setting dimensions based on aspect
ratio. I hope nothing depended on this; at least the even values were
not consistently guaranteed anyway, as the rounding code did not run
if the video file did not specify a nonzero aspect value.
The player can read codec mapping (codecs.conf) from an external file
or use embedded defaults. Before, the defaults were stored in the
player binary in the form of final already-parsed data structures.
Simplify things by storing the text of the codecs.conf file instead,
and parse that at runtime the same way an external file would be
parsed.
To create the previous parsed form, the build system first compiled a
separate binary named "codec-cfg", which parsed etc/codecs.conf and
then wrote the results as a C data structure that could be compiled
into the program. The new simple conversion of codecs.conf into a C
string is handled by the new script TOOLS/file2string.py.
After removing the codec-cfg binary, HOST_CC is no longer used for
anything. Remove the --host-cc configure option and associated logic.
Also remove the codec2html and codec-cfg-test functionality. Building
those was already broken and nobody cared.
There was a broken 3-character-long "fourcc" entry in etc/codecs.conf.
This happened to be accepted before but triggered a parse error after
the changes. Remove the broken entry and make the parsing functions
explicitly test for this error.
Support for this is rather simple, and some combinations of modifiers
and keys don't work. For example, Ctrl+Alt+character is not supported,
because Windows doesn't emit a WM_CHAR in this case.
Also add support for the pause and print screen keys. Remove the
pointless KEY_CTRL translation. Remove KEY_CTRL altogether, because it
was not clear what it was actually supposed to mean.
There were some slight differences between what input.conf mapped, and
what was in input.c def_cmd_binds[]. Make them match.
Add some minor documentation improvements in input.cfg.
Also remove double comments ('##'), because they were confusing.
Something like the OSD menu functionality could be useful. However the
current implementation has several problems and would require a
relatively large amount of work to get into good shape. As far as I
know there are few users of the existing functionality. Nobody is
working on the existing code and keeping it compiling at all while
changing other code would require extra work. So delete the menu code
and some related code elsewhere that's used by nothing else.
Add option --ass-vsfilter-aspect-compat and corresponding property
ass_vsfilter_aspect_compat. The setting controls whether to enable the
emulation of traditional VSFilter behavior where subtitles are
stretched if the video is anamorphic (previously always enabled for
native SSA/ASS subtitles). Enabled by default. Add 'V' as a new
default keybinding to toggle the property.

Add X-GNOME-FullName entries to desktop file.
According to the Desktop Entry Specification, the "full name" should be built

GNOME doesn't and uses its own key instead.

Selecting the colorspace to output from a decoder is done in the
function mpcodecs_config_vo(). Add a new version of this function,
mpcodecs_config_vo2(), that allows the decoder to specify a list of
candidate colorspaces instead of always using a hardcoded list
specified in the codecs.conf entry. If the codecs.conf entry has any
"out" lines then those still take priority and the decoder-provided
list (if any) is ignored. Make vd_ffmpeg provide a list of the
colorspaces it's willing to output. Remove "out" lines from most
entries for libavcodec video decoders in codecs.conf, so that the
automatic values are now used instead.
Due to libavcodec changes vo_xvmc would have needed some modifications
to keep working. However, I think there's little real demand for XvMC,
so I'll just drop XvMC support. XvMC only supported MPEG-2, making it
of very limited usefulness nowadays, plus the vo_xvmc implementation
was not high quality and never worked particularly well or reliably
anyway.
VDPAU hardware decoding does not support colorspaces other than 4:2:0.
