Instead of putting codec header data into WAVEFORMATEX and BITMAPINFOHEADER, pass it directly via AVCodecContext. To do this, we add mp_copy_lav_codec_headers(), which copies the codec header data from one AVCodecContext to another (originally, the plan was to use avcodec_copy_context() for this, but it looks like this would turn decoder initialization into an even worse mess). Get rid of the silly CodecID <-> codec_tag mapping. This was originally needed for codecs.conf: codec tags were used to identify codecs, but libavformat didn't always return useful codec tags (different file formats can have different, overlapping tag numbers). Since we don't go through WAVEFORMATEX etc. and pass all header data directly via AVCodecContext, we can be absolutely sure that the codec tag mapping is not needed anymore. Note that this also destroys the "standard" MPlayer method of exporting codec header data. WAVEFORMATEX and BITMAPINFOHEADER made sure that other non-libavcodec decoders could be initialized. However, all these decoders have been removed, so this is just cruft full of old hacks that are not needed anymore. There's still ad_spdif and ad_mpg123, bu neither of these need codec header data. Should we ever add non-libavcodec decoders, better data structures without the past hacks could be added to export the headers. |

mpv ### Overview ======== **mpv** is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types. If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read more about the changes_. Compilation =========== Compiling with full features requires development files for several external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For more information see the output of ``./configure --help`` for a list of options, or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running ``./configure``. If you think you have support for some feature installed but configure fails to detect it, the file ``config.log`` may contain information about the reasons for the failure. Essential dependencies (incomplete list): - gcc or clang - X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...) - Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio) - fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass) - libass - FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc) - libjpeg - libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly - libx264 if you want to use encoding (has to be explicitly enabled when compiling ffmpeg) Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build_) that first compiles FFmpeg libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those. If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide homebrew-mpv_, an up to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for OSX. Bug reports =========== Please use the `issues tracker`_ provided by GitHub to send us bug reports or feature requests. Contributing ============ For small changes you can just send us pull requests through GitHub. For bigger changes come and talk to us on IRC before you start working on them. It will make code review easier for both parties later on. Contacts ======== You can find us on IRC in ``#mpv-player`` on ``irc.freenode.net`` .. _changes: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/man/en/changes.rst .. _mpv-build: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build .. _homebrew-mpv: https://github.com/mpv-player/homebrew-mpv .. _issues tracker: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues
