Apple slightly changed the App bundle mechanism which broke wrapper
scripts that invoke the actual binary. it caused the bundle to always
open a new instance of mpv instead of reusing the currently running one.
just removing the wrapper script would lead to several regressions, so
it was replaced with a symlink to the bundle binary. detection if mpv
was started from the bundle was replaced by comparing the execution name
of the binary, eg the name of the symlink "mpv-bundle". additionally,
because we load a standard config from the Resources folder of the
bundle again, we prevent that config from being loaded if mpv wasn't
started via the bundle. the psn argument has to be removed manually
again.
the ability of loading your standard shell environment has been removed
with the wrapper. a substitution will be added with another commit. as a
side effect this fixes an issues when zsh was used with common NodeJS
configuration scripts.
Fixes#4926#4866
we have two problems here. first when mpv is started from the bundle it
uses its own environment variables and possibly can't find for example
the youtube-dl binary for our youtube-dl hook. second we couldn't
reliable determine when mpv was started from the bundle, which led to
the pseudo-gui usage even when the binary was invoked from a shell.
to prevent this we will wrap the bundle binary with a shell script,
which will only be called when we start mpv from the bundle. this way
we can get the same environment variables, like $PATH, for our bundle
and additional we can set the pseudo-gui only when started through this
script. it is also possible to detect the bundle usage properly and
accurately through the usage of another environment var.
Fixes#2061
This commit adds a new build system based on waf. configure and Makefile
are deprecated effective immediately and someday in the future they will be
removed (they are still available by running ./old-configure).
You can find how the choice for waf came to be in `DOCS/waf-buildsystem.rst`.
TL;DR: we couldn't get the same level of abstraction and customization with
other build systems we tried (CMake and autotools).
For guidance on how to build the software now, take a look at README.md
and the cross compilation guide.
CREDITS:
This is a squash of ~250 commits. Some of them are not by me, so here is the
deserved attribution:
- @wm4 contributed some Windows fixes, renamed configure to old-configure
and contributed to the bootstrap script. Also, GNU/Linux testing.
- @lachs0r contributed some Windows fixes and the bootstrap script.
- @Nikoli contributed a lot of testing and discovered many bugs.
- @CrimsonVoid contributed changes to the bootstrap script.
Pretty useful for people writing userscripts for web browsers. Links starting
with 'mpv://' are forwarded to the mpv OSX bundle. The leading 'mpv://' is
stripped from the recived url and the rest of the string is inserted as is in
the playlist.
I would like to thank Chris Ward (@tenzerothree, http://tenzerothree.com/) for
working on the art for these icons and bringing some eye candy to the project.
The PSDs made by Chris are available on our Dropbox [1], along with the exports
I made to create OSX and Windows icons. The PSDs are almost completly vector
and all the resolutions look really similar, except the 16px favicon which was
handcrafted to look better and more recognizeable on the smaller pixel budget.
For Mac OS X the icons were created using iconutils on the PNGs iconsets
exported from the PSDs. These even support retina resolutions (except 512@2x).
For Windows the .ico file was created with imagemagick. The included images
are 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px 64px, 256px. These are the resolutions listed on
MSDN for supporting Windows XP [2] and Windows versions based on Aero [3].
Only 32bit PNGs were used since it is 2013.
For Linux nothing changed yet, even though @wm4 talked about using the PNGs
directly there. This will probably be dealt with in a later commit.

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.
