since there are different views on what ontop is, we make the ontop
window level modifiable. at the moment only support for macOS was added.
the default for macOS was changed from 'system' to 'window' since this
fixes an unwanted behaviour in fullscreen and in general causes less
issues with expected behaviour.
Fixes#2376#3974
This replaces the old backend that exclusively used EGL windowing with
one that can also use ANGLE's ability to render to directly to a
texture. The advantage of this is that it allows mpv to create the swap
chain itself and this allows mpv to use a flip-mode swap chain on a HWND
(which avoids problems with DirectComposition) and to use a longer swap
chain that has six backbuffers by default (which reportedly fixes
problems with rendering 24fps video on 24Hz monitors.)
Also, "screenshot window" should now work on DXGI 1.2 and up (Windows 8
and up.)
We use the metadata provided by youtube-dl to sort-of implement
fragmented DASH streaming.
This is all a bit hacky, but hopefully a makeshift solution until
libavformat has proper mechanisms. (Although in danger of being one
of those temporary hacks that become permanent.)
As the manual entry for --hwdec states that d3d11va and d3d11va-copy require Windows, it can be assumed that it also works for Windows 7. Since it doesn't, according to https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/3285#issuecomment-228593539, and personal testing, updating the manual accordingly and making the hwdec OS requirements for ANGLE in line with videotoolbox, where OS version is stated.
Instead of enabling it only when a stream-cache is enabled, also try to
enable it independently from that if the demuxer is marked as
is_network.
Also add some code to the EDL code, so EDLs containing network streams
are automatically cached this way.
Extend the OSD info line so that it shows the demuxer cache in this case
(more or less).
I didn't find where or whether options.rst describes how the demuxer
cache is enabled, so no changes there.
To make it easier for the eyes, multi line subtitles should
be left justified (for most languages).
This adds an option to define how subtitles are to be justified
inpendently of how they are aligned.
Also add option to enable --sub-justify to be applied on ASS subtitles.
This was excessively useless, and I want my time back that was needed to
explain users why they don't want to use it.
It captured the byte stream only, and even for types of streams it was
designed for (like transport streams), it was rather questionable.
As part of the removal, un-inline demux_run_on_thread() (which has only
1 call-site now), and sort of reimplement --stream-dump to write the
data directly instead of using the removed capture code.
(--stream-dump is also very useless, and I struggled coming up with an
explanation for it in the manpage.)
"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".
Scale the window by the assumed DPI scaling factor, using 96 DPI as
base. For example, a screen that reports 192 DPI is assumed to have a
DPI scale factor 2. The window will then be created with twice the size.
For robustness reasons, we accept only integer DPI scales between 1 and
9. We also error out if the X and Y scales are very different, as this
most likely indicates a multiscreen system with botched size reporting.
I'm not sure if reading the X server's DPI is such a good idea - maybe
the Xrdb "Xft.dpi" value should be used instead. The current method
follows what xdpyinfo does.
This can be disabled with --hidpi-window-scale=no.
Since for mpv CLI, the player state is a singleton, full prefetching is
a bit tricky. We do it only on the demuxer layer.
The implementation reuses the old "open thread". This means there is
significant potential for regressions even if the new option is not
used. This is made worse by the fact that I barely tested this code.
The generic mpctx_run_reentrant() wrapper is also removed - this was its
only user, and its remains become part of the new implementation.
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.
This basically reuses the scripting infrastructure.
Note that this needs to be explicitly enabled at compilation. For one,
enabling export for certain symbols from an executable seems to be quite
toolchain-specific. It might not work outside of Linux and cause random
problems within Linux.
If C plugins actually become commonly used and this approach is starting
to turn out as a problem, we can build mpv CLI as a wrapper for libmpv,
which would remove the requirement that plugins pick up host symbols.
I'm being lazy, so implementation/documentation are parked in existing
files, even if that stuff doesn't necessarily belong there. Sue me, or
better send patches.
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
The reST contents directive is added to mpv.rst.
In wscript_build.py, the --strip-elements-with-class=contents option is
needed for the rst2man call in order to prevent the TOC from appearing
in mpv.1.
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.)
The latest 375.xx nvidia drivers add support for P016 output
surfaces. In combination with an ffmpeg change to return those
surfaces, we can display them.
The bulk of the work is related to knowing which format you're
dealing with at the right time. Once you know, it's straight forward.
