The previous version of the gamma suboption was pretty useless. It could
be used to disable delayed gamma enabling, which is a mechanism to avoid
having to adjust gamma in the shader by default.
Repurpose the suboption and allow setting an exact gamma value with it.
You can already override gamma with the --gamma option as well as the
gamma input property, but these use a weird curve to create the
impression of a linear perceived brightness change when changing the
value. This suboption now allows setting an exact gamma value.
This used to be absolute colorimetric, but relative colorimetric is a
saner default due to the arguments presented in issue #595.
A short summary: In general it doesn't affect much because our eyes
adapt to the white point either way, but if running in windowed mode it
would make the whites seem inconsistent/tinted. For fullscreen
projection it's also undesirable since it reduces the dynamic range
without much benefit (again, since our eyes adapt either way) and it
also breaks calibration against ambient lighting.
This shouldn't change much, since most profile types that aren't 3DLUTs
aren't capable of either of those transforms, and most displays are
calibrated against D65 (same as BT.709 source) either way.
Not sure about this... might redo.
At least this provides a case of a broadcasted event, which requires
per-event data allocation.
See github issue #576.
There are some complications because the client API distinguishes
between integers and floats, while Lua has only "numbers" (which are
usually floats). But I think this should work now.
This uses the value of 1.95 as an approximation for the exact gamma
curve, which replicates the behavior of popular video software including
anything in the Apple ecosystem, as per issue #534.
MP_CMD_COMMAND_LIST commands (used to implement key bindings with
multiple commands) were not checked for abort commands. Implement it.
Remove the remarks about multi-commands being special from the manpage.
Seek coalescing is handled differently now, and the issue with abort
commands is fixed with this commit.
The old way still works, and is fine to use. Still discourage it,
because it might conflict with other ways to access this property, such
as the one added in the next commit.
This is simply not important enough to warrant so much space, and it's
perhaps also very confusing.
Although I'm not fully sure, since this is about the only way that
allows a user to interact with a script, besides key bindings and static
options.
There was already an undocumented mechanism provided by
mp.set_key_bindings and other functions, but this was relatively
verbose, and also weird. It was mainly to make the OSC happy (including
being efficient and supporting weird corner cases), while the new
functions try to be a bit simpler.
This also provides a way to let users rebind script-provided commands.
(This mechanism is less efficient, because it's O(n^2) for n added key
bindings, but it shouldn't matter.)
Until now, the --no-config was explicitly checked in multiple places to
suppress loading of config files.
Add such a check to the config path code itself, and refuse to resolve
_any_ configuration file locations if the option is set.
osc.lua needs a small fixup, because it didn't handle the situation when
no path was returned. There may some of such cases in the C code too,
but I didn't find any on a quick look.
Instead, chain them.
Note that there's no logic to prevent the other event handlers to be run
from an event handler (like it's popular in GUI toolkits), because I
think that's not very useful for this purpose.
Use a list instead of a table. This makes it easier to provide extended
information about a property, and doesn't require you to fiddle with rhe
RST ASCII-art tables.
Also, extend some property descriptions.
Use of these is "discouraged", but they're there to select these special
cases with the "aspect" property. They really should use some sort of
choice option type, but since it would be some work to make these work
with float values, the simple and dumb alternative was picked.
