Before this commit, we tried to play along with libavformat and tried to pretend that attached pictures are video streams with a single frame, and that the frame magically appeared at the seek position when seeking. The playback core would then switch to a mode where the video has ended, and the "remaining" audio is played. This didn't work very well: - we needed a hack in demux.c, because we tried to read more packets in order to find the "next" video frame (libavformat doesn't tell us if a stream has ended) - switching the video stream didn't work, because we can't tell libavformat to send the packet again - seeking and resuming after was hacky (for some reason libavformat sets the returned packet's PTS to that of the previously returned audio packet in generic code not related to attached pictures, and this happened to work) - if the user did something stupid and e.g. inserted a deinterlacer by default, a picture was never displayed, only an inactive VO window) - same when using a command that reconfigured the VO (like switching aspect or video filters) - hr-seek didn't work For this reason, handle attached pictures as separate case with a separate video decoding function, which doesn't read packets. Also, do not synchronize audio to video start in this case. |

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.
