Since commit 7381db60, strings like "~desktop/" were expanded as
platform-specific paths by mpv. Apparently this similarity to standard
Unix shell expansion caused confusion, so change it to "~~desktop/". The
shell doesn't expand this, so it should be better.
And split the Cocoa and Unix cases. Simplify the Cocoa case slightly by
calling mpv_main directly, instead of passing a function pointer. Also
add a comment explaining why Cocoa needs a special case at all.
This unbreaks compiling command line player and libmpv at the same
time. The problem was that doing so silently disabled the OSX
application thing - but the command line player can not use the
vo_opengl Cocoa backend without it.
The OSX application code is basically dead in libmpv, but it's not
that much code anyway.
If you want a mpv binary that does not create an OSX application
singleton (and creates a menu etc.), you must disable cocoa
completely, as cocoa can't be used anyway in this case.
This should take care of the endless complaints about the default
location for screenshots (and will of course create new ones).
If the screenshot-template is set to an absolute path, the directory
won't be used. So this should be reasonably compatible.
In the most simple case, this prevents the track ID from changing. One
disadvantage is that if the file fails loading, the track is gone for
good and would have to be re-added explicitly by the user.
Should help with debugging, and might be slightly more userfriendly.
Note that this is called manually in multiple entry-points, instead of
the functions doing the actual work (like mp_remove_track()). This is
done so that exiting the player or calling the sub_reload command won't
print redundant in-between states.
During seeking, and there is momemtarily no new data available yet, the
player will display the seek target as current time. Clamp this time to
the known time range as implied by the start time and the duration of
the file.
This improves behavior especially when seeking in audio files, for which
this for some reason triggers rather often. There were some users
complaining about this.
This makes behavior worse for files with timestamp resets, or
incorrectly reported duration. (The latter is relatively common,
e.g. libavformat shortcomings, or incomplete files.)
This will change the format option to "bestaudio/best" instead of
passing the "-x" argument to yt-dl.
Prevents the video still being downloaded in the new mpv versions where
the yt-dl format is set to "best" by default.
This could make the player crash on exit if the "sub_reload" command was
used successfully. the reason was that the mpctx->sources array could
have dangling pointers to the unloaded demuxers.
Also fix a memory leak by actually always freeing the per-stream
subtitle decoders (which are a hack to make ordered chapters behave
better).
Fixes PNG cover art not showing up immediately (for example when running
with --pause).
libavformat exports embedded cover art as a single packet. For example,
a PNG attachment simply contains the PNG image, which can be sent to the
decoder. Normally you would expect that the PNG decoder would return 1
frame for 1 packet, without any delays. But this stopped working, and it
incurs a 1 frame delay.
This is perfectly legal (even if unexpected), so let our code feed the
decoder packets until we get something back. (In theory feeding the
packet instead of a real flush packet is still somewhat questionable.)
last_av_difference can be MP_NOPTS_VALUE under certain circumstances
(like no video timestamp yet). This triggered the desync message,
because fabs(MP_NOPTS_VALUE) is quite a large value. We don't want to
show a message in this situation.
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.
It's annoying and unnecessary. They can be manually loaded if really
needed (for things like previewing).
Also remove the #if. It was for suppressing warnings, and we don't need
to be so careful about this in the relatively obscure encoding mode.
Approximate time of video buffered in the demuxer, in seconds. Same as
`demuxer-cache-duration` but returns the last timestamp of bufferred
data in demuxer.

This will be used in the following commit, which adds screenshot_raw.
The reasoning is that this will be better for binding scripting
languages.
One could special-case the screenshot_raw commit and define fixed
semantics for passing through a pointer using the current API, like
formatting a pointer as string. But that would be ridiculous and
unclean.
Remove the old implementation for these properties. It was never very
good, often returned very innaccurate values or just 0, and was static
even if the source was variable bitrate. Replace it with the
implementation of "packet-video-bitrate". Mark the "packet-..."
properties as deprecated. (The effective difference is different
formatting, and returning the raw value in bits instead of kilobits.)
Also extend the documentation a little.
It appears at least some decoders (sipr?) need the
AVCodecContext.bit_rate field set, so this one is still passed through.
It's entirely useless, especially now that vo.c handles screenshots in a
generic way, and requires no special VO support. There are some
potential weird use-cases, but actually I've never seen it being used.
The old behavior does not make too much sense after all. If you don't
want to file to be overwritten, the user can check this manually.
This is a change in behavior - let's hope nobody actually relied on it.
libavcodec makes it impossible to distinguish dropped frames (requested
with AVCodecContext.skip_frame), and cases when the decoder simply does
not return a frame by default (such as with VP9, which has invisible
reference frames).
This confuses users when decoding VP9 video. It's basically a cosmetic
issue, so just paint it over by ignoring them if framedropping is
disabled.
When playing cover art, it conceptually reaches EOF as soon as the image
was put on the VO, causing the EOF message to be repeated every time new
audio was decoded. Just silence the message.
Apparently the standard handles can be set to bogus values on XP. Use
GetFileType to check whether they refer to an actual file/pipe/etc. The
logic used by is_valid_handle() is now pretty similar to what the CRT
uses to check for valid stdio handles.
If mpv is started from Explorer or the Start Menu, it will have no
console and no standard IO handles. In this case, it's fairly safe to
enable the pseudo-gui profile.
Previously, mpv.exe used the --terminal option to decide whether to
attach to the parent process's console, which made it impossible to tell
whether mpv would attach to the console before the config files were
parsed. Instead, make mpv always attach to the console when launched
from the console wrapper (mpv.com) and never attach otherwise. This will
be useful for the next commit, which will use the presence of the
console to decide whether to use the pseudo-gui profile.
This change should also be an improvement in behavior. The old code
would attach to the parent process's console, regardless of whether it
was mpv.com or some other program like cmd.exe. This could be confusing,
since mpv.exe is marked as a Windows GUI program and shouldn't write
text to its parent process's console when launched directly. (See #768.)
Visual Studio does something similar with its devenv.com wrapper.
devenv.exe only attaches to the console when launched from devenv.com.
Add a platform-specific entry-point for Windows. This will allow some
platform-specific initialization to be added without the need for ugly
ifdeffery in main.c.
As an immediate advantage, mpv can now use a unicode entry-point and
convert the command line arguments to UTF-8 before passing them to
mpv_main, so osdep_preinit can be simplified a little bit.
Remove --keep-open. Switch to --idle=once. This effectively makes the
player quit after end of playback, but still shows the idle screen if it
was started with no files.
Starting the command line player with --no-terminal, the terminal was
sitll initialized. This happened because update_logging() used the
option value before the options were parsed. Fix by moving down the
initialization to before the point where it's actually needed.
When setting options like --no-video, ytdl_hook adds the "-x" argument
to youtube-dl, so that bandwith is saved by not downloading the video on
some sites.
