If the --ytdl-format option is not used, force the "best" format. Do
this because youtube-dl is going to change its default format to one
that will trigger the (partially broken) DASH support in our own code.
Fixes#1867.
This was traditionally needed to silence terminal output from errors
during command line parsing preparsing. Preparsing is done so that
options controlling the terminal and config files are parsed and applied
first, with a second command line parsing pass applying all other
options, _and_ printing error messages for the preparsed ones.
But the hack silencing log output during the preparse pass is actually
not needed anymore, since the terminal is enabled only after preparsing
is finished. update_logging() in main.c does this.
So as long as update_logging() is called before
m_config_preparse_command_line(), this will work.
The options don't change, but they're now declared and used privately by
demux_mkv.c. This also brings with it a minor refactor of the subpreroll
seek handling - merge the code from playloop.c into demux_mkv.c. The
change in demux.c is pretty much equivalent as well.
Useful for dealing with libavfilter's terrible graph syntax.
Not strictly backwards compatible (for example "[a[b]" fails now - the
"[" within the quote is interpreted now). But hopefully it's obscure
enough not to warrant any kind of compatibility hacks.
It seems this choice was never documented. "always" is actually older
than "yes", so just declare it a compatibility value for "yes". (Also
move it before "always" in the C code to make this clear.)
It was ignored before. Passing an argument makes no sense, and might be
mistaken for some form of --vf-del, so complain about it.
This also affects --af-clr and the vf/af commands.
The format doesn't change. Some details are different, though. For
example, it will now accept option values with spaces even if they're
not quoted. (I see no reason why the user should be forced to add
quotes.)
The code is now smaller and should be much easier to extend. It also
can load config from in-memory buffers, which might be helpful in the
future.
read_file() should eventually be replaced with stream_read_complete().
But since the latter function may access options under various
circumstances, and also needs access to the mpv_global struct, there
is a separate implementation for now.
Use OPT_CHOICE_C() instead of the custom parser. The functionality is
pretty much equivalent.
(On a side note, it seems --video-stereo-mode can't be removed, because
it controls whether to "reduce" stereo video to mono, which is also the
default. In fact I'm not sure how this should be handled at all.)
Remove the colorspace-related top-level options, add them to vf_format.
They are rather obscure and not needed often, so it's better to get them
out of the way. In particular, this gets rid of the semi-complicated
logic in command.c (most of which was needed for OSD display and the
direct feedback from the VO). It removes the duplicated color-related
name mappings.
This removes the ability to write the colormatrix and related
properties. Since filters can be changed at runtime, there's no loss of
functionality, except that you can't cycle automatically through the
color constants anymore (but who needs to do this).
This also changes the type of the mp_csp_names and related variables, so
they can directly be used with OPT_CHOICE. This probably ended up a bit
awkward, for the sake of not adding a new option type which would have
used the previous format.
This requires FFmpeg git master for accelerated hardware decoding.
Keep in mind that FFmpeg must be compiled with --enable-mmal. Libav
will also work.
Most things work. Screenshots don't work with accelerated/opaque
decoding (except using full window screenshot mode). Subtitles are
very slow - even simple but huge overlays can cause frame drops.
This always uses fullscreen mode. It uses dispmanx and mmal directly,
and there are no window managers or anything on this level.
vo_opengl also kind of works, but is pretty useless and slow. It can't
use opaque hardware decoding (copy back can be used by forcing the
option --vd=lavc:h264_mmal). Keep in mind that the dispmanx backend
is preferred over the X11 ones in case you're trying on X11; but X11
is even more useless on RPI.
This doesn't correctly reject extended h264 profiles and thus doesn't
fallback to software decoding. The hw supports only up to the high
profile, and will e.g. return garbage for Hi10P video.
This sets a precedent of enabling hw decoding by default, but only
if RPI support is compiled (which most hopefully it will be disabled
on desktop Linux platforms). While it's more or less required to use
hw decoding on the weak RPI, it causes more problems than it solves
on real platforms (Linux has the Intel GPU problem, OSX still has
some cases with broken decoding.) So I can live with this compromise
of having different defaults depending on the platform.
Raspberry Pi 2 is required. This wasn't tested on the original RPI,
though at least decoding itself seems to work (but full playback was
not tested).
There's actually no reason why we should assert. It's unexpected and
"should" not happen, but actually there are several ways to make it
happen.
Still, add a check m_config_get_co(), to avoid matching pseudo-entries
with no name.
Pretty messy, which is why it wasn't done at first. (Also, I'd really
like to have simpler syntax and semantics for this damn option, but who
knows when this will happen.)
Fixes#1705.
Why did this exist in the first place? Other than being completely
useless, this even caused some regressions in the past. For example,
there was the case of a laptop exposing its accelerometer as joystick
device, which led to extremely fun things due to the default mappings of
axis movement being mapped to seeking.
I suppose those who really want to use their joystick to control a media
player (???) can configure it as mouse device or so.
I think this is what I alwass missed ever since I found the MPlayer
cache options: a way to enable the cache on local files with the default
settings, whatever they are.
main() being called with argc==0 is probably possible. Fix by skipping
the program name early. (I already changed and reverted this once, but
this time we make sure that it's less likely to confuse the skipped argv
with main()'s argv by naming it "options".)
In the past it happened quite often that flag options (yes/no) were
changed to choice options (yes/no/some more). The problem with this was
that while flag options don't need a parameter, this wasn't the case
with choice options. A hack was introduced to compensate for this:
setting M_OPT_OPTIONAL_PARAM on the option, and an empty string ("") was
added as choice, so that the choice could be used like a flag. So, for
example, "--mute" would set the choice "".
Fix this by 1. not requiring a parameter if there's a "yes" choice, and
2. redirect an empty parameter to "yes". The effect is that a choice
option with the choices ["yes", "no"] is pretty much equivalent to a
flag option.
Now that we have fast stream switching, we can bump these sizes, as the
queues cause no delay in switching anymore.
Of course, the fast stream switching works for mkv and mp4 only. Other
formats will incur a quite terrible delay especially in network mode,
which this commit changes to 10 seconds. Let's see if someone
complains...
This option allows the user to pass non-supported options directly to
youtube-dl, such as "--proxy URL", "--username USERNAME" and
'--password PASSWORD".
There is no sanity checking so it's possible to break things (i.e.
if you pass "--version" mpv exits with random JSON error).

Now --ass-use-margins doesn't apply to normal subtitles anymore. This is
probably the inverse from the mpv behavior users expected so far, and
thus a breaking change, so rename the option, that the user at least has
a chance to lookup the option and decide whether the new behavior is
wanted or not.
The basic idea here is:
- plain text subtitles should have a certain useful defalt behavior,
like actually using margins
- ASS subtitles should never be broken by default
- ASS subtitles should look and behave like plaintext subtitles if
the --ass-style-override=force option is used
This also subtly changes --sub-scale-with-window and adds the --ass-
scale-with-window option. Since this one isn't so important, don't
bother with compatibility.
Until now, they used exactly the same defaults for the styling options.
The defaults were shared, so it was impossible to have different
defaults. Change this. This requires duplicating the full default
struct, even for settings that are the same. The list of options is
still shared, though.
Actually, it's pretty simple to look for multiple filenames at once,
since mp_find_all_config_files() is already a bit "special" anyway.
See #1569. Reverts most of commit db167cd4 (keeps osx-bundle.conf).
Requested. See manpage additions.
This also makes the magical loop_times constants slightly saner, but
shouldn't change the semantics of any existing --loop option values.
Make it accept "," as separator, instead of only ":". Do this by using
the key-value-list parser. Before this, the option was stored as a
string, with the option parser verifying that the option value as
correct. Now it's stored pre-parsed, although the log levels still
require separate verification and parsing-on-use to some degree (which
is why the msg-level option type doesn't go away).
Because the internal type changes, the client API "native" type also
changes. This could be prevented with some more effort, but I don't
think it's worth it - if MPV_FORMAT_STRING is used, it still works the
same, just with a different separator on read accesses.
Before this, unquoted occurrences of ":" lead to parsing errors. There's
no reason to reject it, especially since the traditional MPlayer syntax
uses ":" as separator. (Which is also the reason why ":" was rejected
before: the parser shares this code for handling splitting/quoting, and
we merely checked explicitly whether the option was split on ",".)
Autoload external audio files only if there's at least a video track
(which is not coverart pseudo-video).
Enable external audio file autoloading by default. Now that we actively
avoid doing stupid things like loading an external audio file for an
audio-only file, this should be fine.
Additionally, don't autoload subtitles if a subtitle is played.
Although you currently can't play subtitles without audio or video,
it's disturbing and stupid that the player might load subtitle files
with different extension and then fail.
Although the use is somewhat questionable, it seems strange that e.g.
--geometry=50% works (and sets the width only), but setting the height
only in a similar manner does not work.
