Apparently using the stream index is the best way to refer to the same
streams across multiple FFmpeg-using programs, even if the stream index
itself is rarely meaningful in any way.
For Matroska, there are some possible problems, depending how FFmpeg
actually adds streams. Normally they seem to match though.
A vague idea to get something similar what libquvi did.
Undocumented because it might change a lot, or even be removed. To give
an idea what it does, a Lua script could do the following:
-- type ID priority
mp.commandv("hook_add", "on_load", 0, 0)
mp.register_script_message("hook_run", function(param, param2)
-- param is "0", the user-chosen ID from the hook_add command
-- param2 is the magic value that has to be passed to finish
-- the hook
mp.resume_all()
-- do something, maybe set options that are reset on end:
mp.set_property("file-local-options/name", "value")
-- or change the URL that's being opened:
local url = mp.get_property("stream-open-filename")
mp.set_property("stream-open-filename", url .. ".png")
-- let the player (or the next script) continue
mp.commandv("hook_ack", param2)
end)
Showed "Volume: (unavailable)%". That was dumb.
The message string is now a bit convoluted; mostly because the property
expand syntax can't do "if-else", just "if".

This does nothing good. This reverts a change made over a year ago - I
don't remember why this was originally done this way.
The main problem is that even if the volume option is set (something
like "--volume=75"), the volume property will always return "100" until
audio is initialized. If audio is uninitialized again, the volume
property will remain frozen at its last value.
Whether you consider the semantics weird or not depends on your use
case, but I suppose it's a bit confusing anyway. At this point, we keep
MPV_EVENT_PAUSE/UNPAUSE for compatibility only.
Make the "core-idle" property somewhat more useful in this context.
Each subsystem (or similar thing) had an INITIALIZED_ flag assigned. The
main use of this was that you could pass a bitmask of these flags to
uninit_player(). Except in some situations where you wanted to
uninitialize nearly everything, this wasn't really useful. Moreover, it
was quite annoying that subsystems had most of the code in a specific
file, but the uninit code in loadfile.c (because that's where
uninit_player() was implemented).
Simplify all this. Remove the flags; e.g. instead of testing for the
INITIALIZED_AO flag, test whether mpctx->ao is set. Move uninit code
to separate functions, e.g. uninit_audio_out().
For the sake of libmpv. Might make things much easier for the user,
especially on Windows. On the other hand, it's a bit sketchy that a
command exists that makes the player access arbitrary memory regions.
(But do note that input commands are not meant to be "secure" and never
were - for example, there's the "run" command, which obviously allows
running random shell commands.)
Somewhat more flexible: now there's a separate overlay struct, and you
don't need to coerce all state into struct sub_bitmap. Also, removing
the previous mapping (munmap call) is now all in one place, the
replace_overlay function.
Makes the next commit easier to implement.
This warning makes absolutely no sense. Passing an empty string to
printf-like functions is perfectly fine. In the OSD case, it just sets
an empty message, practically clearing the OSD.
Be less annoying, print the actual OSD level instead of something
meaningless, but still clear the OSD if OSD level 0 (no OSD) is set.
Remove the special handling for terminal OSD, that was just dumb.
This means that if a property not listed in property_osd_display[] is
changed, it will be shown on the OSD as "name: ${name}".
Properties that are listed in property_osd_display[] and have osd_name
not set stay invisible by default. This is used for "pause" and
"fullscreen", which (like before this commit) are not shown by default,
because it would be annoying.
The defaults still can be changed with command prefixes (osd-msg,
no-osd, others).
Probably not many user-visible changes. One notable change is that the
terminal OSD code for OSD bar fallback handling is removed with no
replacement. Instead, terminal OSD gets the same text message as normal
OSD. For volume, this is ok, because the text message is reasonable.
Other properties will look worse, but could be adjusted, and there are
in fact no other such properties that would be useful in audio-only
mode.
The fallback message for seeking falls away as well, but that message
was useless anyway - the terminal status line provides all information
anyway.
I believe the show_property_osd() code is now much easier to follow.
If no VO was open, these options couldn't be changed or even queried.
Although these properties are nearly useless if no VO exists, there's
actually no good reason to forbid querying or setting them. Also, even
if the VO is created, it doesn't mean the VO window was created.
Why bother?
Also, since now some properties could be mapped to non-existing options,
but mp_property_generic_option() is used, deal with this case and return
a not-found error code.
If there's a command that uses the OSD by default, then always print the
associated message (or a fallback made of name + value), even if the
command has an associated OSD bar.
This means volume, gamma, panscan, etc. all show both a message and a
OSD bar.
Also, add a '%' to the volume message. The extra_msg thing is not needed
anymore.
See issue #1103.
It's just confusing; users are encouraged to edit input.conf instead
(changing the argument to the "add" command).
Update input.conf to keep the old behavior.
We don't allow this by default, because it would be silly if random
external data (like filenames or file tags) could accidentally trigger
them.
Add a property that magically disables this ASS tag escaping.
Note that malicious input could still disable ASS tag escaping by
itself. This would be annoying but harmless.
Don't attempt to resync after speed changes. Note that most other cases
of audio reinit (like switching tracks etc.) still resync, but other
code paths take care of setting the audio_status accordingly.
This restores the old behavior of not trying to fix audio desync, which
was probably changed with commit 261506e3.
Note that the code as of now wasn't even entirely correct, since the A/V
sync values are slightly shifted. The dsync depends on the audio buffer
size, so a larger buffer size will show more extreme desync. Also see
mplayer2 commit 213a224e, which should fixed this - it was not merged
into mpv, because it disabled audio for too long, resulting in a worse
user experience. This is similar to the issue this commit attempts to
fix.
Fixes: #1042 (probably)

This mostly uses the same idea as with vo_vdpau.c, but much simplified.
On X11, it tries to get the display framerate with XF86VM, and limits
the frequency of new video frames against it. Note that this is an old
extension, and is confirmed not to work correctly with multi-monitor
setups. But we're using it because it was already around (it is also
used by vo_vdpau).
This attempts to predict the next vsync event by using the time of the
last frame and the display FPS. Even if that goes completely wrong,
the results are still relatively good.
On other systems, or if the X11 code doesn't return a display FPS, a
framerate of 1000 is assumed. This is infinite for all practical
purposes, and means that only frames which are definitely too late are
dropped. This probably has worse results, but is still useful.
"--framedrop=yes" is basically replaced with "--framedrop=decoder". The
old framedropping mode is kept around, and should perhaps be improved.
Dropping on the decoder level is still useful if decoding itself is too
slow.
This code was sending a string to a different thread, and then
deallocated the string shortly after, which means most of the time
the other thread was accessing a dangling pointer.
It's possible that this is the cause for #1002.
