I'm not sure about the merit, though it does print nice numbers if debug
output is enabled.
Basically, this tries to achieve similar results as the glFinish()
business, but again it entirely depends on the drivers whether this
does anything meaningful, or whether it's actively harmful.
It seems that at least on nvidia systems with composting disabled, we
can get it to block deterministically on the actual vsync event, which
should improve framedropping.
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.
The VO is run inside its own thread. It also does most of video timing.
The playloop hands the image data and a realtime timestamp to the VO,
and the VO does the rest.
In particular, this allows the playloop to do other things, instead of
blocking for video redraw. But if anything accesses the VO during video
timing, it will block.
This also fixes vo_sdl.c event handling; but that is only a side-effect,
since reimplementing the broken way would require more effort.
Also drop --softsleep. In theory, this option helps if the kernel's
sleeping mechanism is too inaccurate for video timing. In practice, I
haven't ever encountered a situation where it helps, and it just burns
CPU cycles. On the other hand it's probably actively harmful, because
it prevents the libavcodec decoder threads from doing real work.
Side note:
Originally, I intended that multiple frames can be queued to the VO. But
this is not done, due to problems with OSD and other certain features.
OSD in particular is simply designed in a way that it can be neither
timed nor copied, so you do have to render it into the video frame
before you can draw the next frame. (Subtitles have no such restriction.
sd_lavc was even updated to fix this.) It seems the right solution to
queuing multiple VO frames is rendering on VO-backed framebuffers, like
vo_vdpau.c does. This requires VO driver support, and is out of scope
of this commit.
As consequence, the VO has a queue size of 1. The existing video queue
is just needed to compute frame duration, and will be moved out in the
next commit.
Completely useless, and could accidentally be enabled by cycling
framedrop modes. Just get rid of it.
But still allow triggering the old code with --vd-lavc-framedrop, in
case someone asks for it. If nobody does, this new option will be
removed eventually.
Split the options into the following sections:
* Playback Control
* Program Behaviour
* Video
* Audio
* Subtitles
* Window
* Disc Devices
* Equalizer
* Demuxer
* Input
* OSD
* Screenshot
* Software Scaler
* Terminal
* TV
* Cache
* Network
* DVB
* PVR
* Miscellaneous
Most options are sorted by usefullness and how often they're used or how
important they are.
This makes finding the right options easier and adds some sort of structure.
The client API exports this state via events already, but maybe it's
better to explicitly provide this property in order to facilitate use on
OSD and similar cases.
This is probably nicer. The actual version number doesn't change (other
than the minor being incremented).
The "| 0UL" is to make the type unsigned long int, like it was before.
Handle --term-playing-msg at a better place.
Move MPV_EVENT_TICK hack into a separate function. Also add some words
to the client API that you shouldn't use it. (But better leave breaking
it for later.)
Handle --frames and frame_step differently. Remove the mess from the
playloop, and do it after frame display. Give up on the weird semantics
for audio-only mode (they didn't make sense anyway), and adjust the
manpage accordingly.
Almost nothing was left of it.
The only thing this commit actually removes is support for reading
input commands from stdin. But you can emulate this via:
--input-file=/dev/stdin --input-terminal=no
However, this won't work on Windows. Just use a named pipe.
Some ALSA plugins take non-interleaved audio, but treat it as
interleaved, which results in various funny bugs. Users keep hitting
this issue, and it just doesn't seem worth the trouble.

Add an option that enables using native PulseAudio auto-updated timing
information, instead of the manual calculations added in mplayer2 times.
You can use --ao=pulse:no-latency-hacks to enable the new code. The code
is almost the same as the code that was removed with commit de435ed5,
but I didn't readd some bits I didn't understand. Likewise, the option
will disable the code added with that commit.
In my tests this seemed to work well, though the A/V sync display looks
funny when seeking.
The default is still the old behavior.
See issue #959.
"loadfile filename append-play" will now always append the file to the
playlist, and if nothing is playing yet, start playback. I don't want to
change the semantics of "append" mode, so a new mode is needed.
Probably fixes issue #950.
Useful for Windows stuff. Actually, ENCA support should catch this, but,
well, whatever, everyone seems to hate ENCA.
Detection with BOM is trivial, although it needs some hackery to
integrate it with the existing autodetection support. For one, change
the default value of --sub-codepage to make this easier.
Probably fixes issue #937 (the second part).
The MPlayer style syntax ("-mf fps=10:type=png") was removed a while
ago, and now only the flat variants ("--mf-fps=10" etc.) work.

This adds a thread to the demuxer which reads packets asynchronously.
It will do so until a configurable minimum packet queue size is
reached. (See options.rst additions.)
For now, the thread is disabled by default. There are some corner cases
that have to be fixed, such as fixing cache behavior with webradios.
Note that most interaction with the demuxer is still blocking, so if
e.g. network dies, the player will still freeze. But this change will
make it possible to remove most causes for freezing.
Most of the new code in demux.c actually consists of weird caches to
compensate for thread-safety issues (with the previously single-threaded
design), or to avoid blocking by having to wait on the demuxer thread.
Most of the changes in the player are due to the fact that we must not
access the source stream directly. the demuxer thread already accesses
it, and the stream stuff is not thread-safe.
For timeline stuff (like ordered chapters), we enable the thread for the
current segment only. We also clear its packet queue on seek, so that
the remaining (unconsumed) readahead buffer doesn't waste memory.
Keep in mind that insane subtitles (such as ASS typesetting muxed into
mkv files) will practically disable the readahead, because the total
queue size is considered when checking whether the minimum queue size
was reached.
The intention is to make it obvious which mpv releases certain changes
will apply to.
Also attempt to fix RST formatting of the list. This is not very proper,
but probably good enough.
These consult the vertical resolution, matching against 576 for
PAL and 480/486 for NTSC. The documentation has also been updated.

Notably, we now conform to SMPTE 428-1-2006 when decoding XYZ12 input,
and we can support rendering intents other than colorimetric when
converting between BT.709 and BT.2020, like with :srgb or :icc-profile.
This add support for reading primary information from lavc, categorized
into BT.601-525, BT.601-625, BT.709 and BT.2020; and passes it on to the
vo. In vo_opengl, we always generate the 3dlut against the wider BT.2020
and transform our source into this colorspace in the shader.
For remarks, pretty much see the manpage additions. Could help with
network streams that require too much seeking (maybe), or might be
extended to help with the use case of watching and downloading a file
at the same time.
In general, it might be a useless feature and could be removed again.
Also clarify the semantics.
It seems --idx didn't do anything. Possibly it used to change how the
now removed legacy demuxers like demux_avi used to behave. Or maybe
it was accidental.
--forceidx basically becomes --index=force. It's possible that new
index modes will be added in the future, so I'm keeping it
extensible, instead of e.g. creating --force-index.
Similar to previous commits.
This also renames --doubleclick-time to --input-doubleclick-time, and
--key-fifo-size to --input-key-fifo-size. We could keep the old names,
but these options are very obscure, and renaming them seems better for
consistency.
Additionally to removing the global variables, this makes the options
more uniform. --ssf-... becomes --sws-..., and --sws becomes --sws-
scaler. For --sws-scaler, use choices instead of magic integer values.
Pretty much nothing changes, but using -tv-scan with suboptions doesn't
work anymore (instead of "-tv-scan x" it's "-tv scan-x" now). Flat
options ("-tv-scan-x") stay compatible.
Convert all these commands to properties. (Except tv_last_channel, not
sure what to do with this.) Also, internally, don't access stream
details directly, but dispatch commands with stream ctrls.
Many of the new properties are a bit strange, because they're write-
only. Also remove some OSD output these commands produced, because I
couldn't be bothered to port these.
In general, this makes everything much cleaner, and will also make it
easier to e.g. move the demuxer to its own thread.
Don't bother updating input.conf, but changes.rst documents how old
commands map to the new ones.
Mostly untested, due to lack of hardware.
Basically, this allows gapless playback with similar files (including
the ordered chapter case), while still being robust in general.
The implementation is quite simplistic on purpose, in order to avoid
all the weird corner cases that can occur when creating the filter
chain. The consequence is that it might do not-gapless playback in
more cases when needed, but if that bothers you, you still can use
the normal gapless mode.
Just using "--gapless-audio" or "--gapless-audio=yes" selects the old
mode.
A bit verbose, but less misleading. In most cases, the API user probably
actually wants mpv_terminate_destroy() instead, so the less-useful
function shouldn't have a simnpler name anyway.
(The old "force" choice of that option is renamed to "force-default".)
This allows overriding native ASS script subtitle styles with the style
provided by the --sub-text-* options (like --sub-text-font etc.). This
is disabled by default, and needs to be explicitly enabled with the
--ass-style-override=force option and input property.
This uses in fact exactly the same options (--sub-text-*) and semantics
as the ones used to configure unstyled text subtitles.
It's recommended to combine this with this in the mpv config file:
ass-force-style="ScaledBorderAndShadow=1" # work around dumb libass behavior
Also, adding a key binding to toggle this behavior should be added,
because overriding can easily break:
L cycle ass-style-override
This would cycle override behavior on Shift+L and allows quickly
disabling/enabling style overrides.
Note: ASS should be considered a vector format rather than a subtitle
format. There is no easy or reliable way to determine whether the style
of a given subtitle event can be changed without destroying visuals or
not. This patch relies on a simple heuristic, which often works and
often breaks.
This simply writes the file name as a comment to the top of the watch later
config file.
It can be useful to the user for determining whether a watch later config file
can be manually removed (e.g. in case the corresponding media file has been
deleted) or not.
If a single person complains, I will readd it. But I don't expect that
this will happen.
The main reason for removing this is that it's some of the most unclean
code remaining, it's unmaintained, and I've never ever heard of someone
using it.
Commit e2e450f9 started making use of luaL_register(), but OF COURSE
this function disappeared in Lua 5.2, and was replaced with a 5.2-only
alternative, slightly different mechanism.
So just NIH our own function. This is actually slightly more correct,
since it forces the user to call "require" to actually make the module
visible for builtin C-only modules other than "mp". Fix autoload.lua
accordingly.
We need this only because Lua's stdlib is so scarce. Lua doesn't intend
to include a complete stdlib - they confine themselves to standard C,
both for portability reasons and to keep the code minimal. But standard
C does not provide much either.
It would be possible to use Lua POSIX wrapper libraries, but that would
be a messy (and unobvious) dependency. It's better to implement the
missing functions ourselves, as long as they're small in number.
stream.start_pos was needed for optical media only, and (apparently) not
for very good reasons. Just get rid of it.
For stream_dvd, we don't need to do anything. Byte seeking was already
removed from it earlier.
For stream_cdda and stream_vcd, emulate the start_pos by offsetting the
stream pos as seen by the rest of mpv.
The bits in discnav.c and loadfile.c were for dealing with the code
seeking back to the start in demux.c. Handle this differently by
assuming the demuxer is always initialized with the stream at start
position, and instead seek back if initializing the demuxer fails.
Remove the --sb option, which worked by modifying stream.start_pos. If
someone really wants this option, it could be added back by creating a
"slice" stream (actually ffmpeg already has such a thing).
The quit command has an optional argument that is used as exit code.
Extend that to the quit_watch_later command. Actually, unify the
implementations of the two commands.
Requested in #798.
Some options change from percentages to number of kilobytes; there are
no cache options using percentages anymore.
Raise the default values. The cache is now 25000 kilobytes, although if
your connection is slow enough, the maximum is probably never reached.
(Although all the memory will still be used as seekback-cache.)
Remove the separate --audio-file-cache option, and use the cache default
settings for it.
Try to get the "new" code path (using NetWM/EWMH) free of hacks done for
the sake of old WMs or the no-WM case.
Implement --fs-screen using _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS.
VapourSynth won't just filter multiple frames at once on its own. You
have to request multiple frames at once manually. This is what this
commit introduces: a sub-option controls how many frames will be
requested at once. This also changes the semantics of the maxbuffer sub-
option, now renamed to buffered-frames.
The situation has changed a bit since the days of mplayer2, so we can
use more/less diplomatic wording. Merge the two sections listing
changes from MPlayer and mplayer2. Mention the client API and Lua
scripting as alternatives to slave mode.
I'm calling MPlayer code "horrible". This is not meant as an offense,
but after turning around almost every line of MPlayer code, I believe
I have a right to say this. Sorry. I would say that MPlayer has a
surprisingly sane and simple architecture (for what it is), but much
of it drowned under a load of evil hacks or not-cleaned-up-yet code.
These are now equivalent to combining commands with the "cycle pause" or
"set pause" commands, and thus are not needed anymore. They were also
obscure and undocumented.
The many "boxes" in this entry were causing rst2pdf to fail because it
couldn't figure out where to break the page. Make the boxes smaller by
removing semi-redundant examples. Also try and make surrounding text a
little shorter by rewording.
This is done after filters, so things like framerate-doubling
deinterlacing is accounted for.
Unfortunately, framedropping can cause inaccuracies (especially after
precise seeks), and we can't really know when that happens. Even though
we know that the decoder might drop a frame if we request it to do so,
we don't know when the dropped frame will start or stop affecting the
video filter chain. Video filters can have frames buffered, and we
can't tell at which point the dropped frame would have been output.
It's not even possible to mark a discontinuity after seek, because
again we don't know if the filter chain still has the discontinuity
within its buffers.
So we have to live with the fact that the output of this property can
be completely broken after seek, unless --no-hr-seek-framedrop is used.
This allows disabling of decoder framedrop during hr-seek.
It's basically another useless option, but it will help exploring
whether this framedropping really makes seeking faster, or whether
disabling it helps with precise seeking (especially frame backstepping).
Also remove MSGL_SMODE and friends.
Note: The indent in options.rst was added to work around a bug in
ReportLab that causes the PDF manual build to fail.
This affects the return value of mp.script_name, the "client name"
(what's returned by mpv_client_name()) and all associated features, as
well as the mpv terminal output module prefix when scripts print
something.
As discussed in #748.
Set _DurationNum/_DurationDen on each VS frame, instead of
_AbsoluteTime. The duration is the difference between the timestamp of
the frame and the next frame, and when receiving filtered VS frames, we
convert them back to an absolute PTS by summing them.
We pass the timestamps with microsecond resolution. mpv uses double for
timestamps internally, so we don't know the "real" timebase or FPS. VS
on the other hand uses fractions for frame durations. We can't pass
through the numbers exactly, but microseconds ought to be enough to be
even safe from accumulating rounding errors.
This allows client API users and Lua scripts to side-step the pretty
horrible video filter string "language" (although it's back and can't be
avoided when using libavfilter).
This couldn't rotate by 180°. Add this, and also make the parameter in
degrees, instead of magic numbers.
For now, drop the flipping stuff. You can still flip with --vf=flip or
--vf=mirror. Drop the landscape/portrait stuff - I think this is
something almost nobody will use. If it turns out that we need some of
these things, they can be readded later.
Make it use libavfilter. Its vf_transpose implementation looks pretty
simple, except that it uses slice threading and should be much faster.
Often, user configs set options that are not suitable for encoding.
Usually, playback and encoding are pretty different things, so it makes
sense to keep them strictly separate. There are several possible
solutions. The approach taken by this commit is to basically ignore the
default config settings, and switch to an [encoding] config profile
section instead. This also makes it impossible to have --o in a config
file, because --o enables encode mode.
See github issue #727 for discussion.
This can be used to easily extent the status line for one's own needs.
I'm not experienced with lua so a few things could probably be done a
better way.
This is for the sake of multi-key combinations (see github issue #718).
Now a multi-key sequence isn't matched if any of the previous keys were
actually mapped.
The window close button is usually mapped to the CLOSE_WIN pseudo-key.
Until now, --input-test treated this pseudo-key like any other key (like
the rest of the input handling code), so you couldn't close the window
in this mode. The manpage had silly instructions and warnings how to
deal with this.
Just always quit when CLOSE_WIN is received, and improve the
instructions.
The input code always supported combinations of multiple keys (even in
MPlayer, although there the code was active really only for mouse
buttons). This was arcance and also made the code more complicated. I
only know of a single person who ever made use of this feature.
Remove this feature, and repurpose some of the support code (e.g.
parsing, display of key combinations, etc.) to handle such multi-
combinations as sequences, instead of keys to be pressed at the same
time. This is much simpler and implements the feature requested in
github issue #718.
This commit will probably cause a bunch of regressions, since the input
handling code has some weird corner cases. I couldn't find any problems
when testing, though.
This collects statistics and other things. The option dumps raw data
into a file. A script to visualize this data is included too.
Litter some of the player code with calls that generate these
statistics.
In general, this will be helpful to debug timing dependent issues, such
as A/V sync problems. Normally, one could argue that this is the task of
a real profiler, but then we'd have a hard time to include extra
information like audio/video PTS differences. We could also just
hardcode all statistics collection and processing in the player code,
but then we'd end up with something like mplayer's status line, which
was cluttered and required a centralized approach (i.e. getting the data
to the status line; so it was all in mplayer.c). Some players can
visualize such statistics on OSD, but that sounds even more complicated.
So the approach added with this commit sounds sensible.
The stats-conv.py script is rather primitive at the moment and its
output is semi-ugly. It uses matplotlib, so it could probably be
extended to do a lot, so it's not a dead-end.
And slightly adjust the semantics of MPV_EVENT_PAUSE/MPV_EVENT_UNPAUSE.
The real pause state can now be queried with the "core-idle" property,
the user pause state with the "pause" property, whether the player is
paused due to cache with "paused-for-cache", and the keep open event can
be guessed with the "eof-reached" property.
This property is set to "yes" if playback was paused due to --keep-open.
The change notification might not always be perfect; maybe that should
be improved.
Currently this is (probably) equivalent to "paused-for-cache", but the
latter is a bit special, while this new property is a bit more general.
One case where they might actually be different is dvdnav menus, but I
haven't checked.
Also add property change notifications for these two properties.
This re-allows the previous behaviour of being able to reencode with
metadata removed, which is useful when encoding "inconsistently" tagged
data for a device/player that shows file names when tags are not
present.
Before this commit, the filter attempted to keep the vsscript state
(p->se) even when the script was reloaded. Change it to destroy the
script state too on reloading. Now no workaround for LoadPlugin is
necessary, and this also fixes a weird theoretical race condition when
destroying and recreating the mpv source filter.
This is a read-only property that uses VFCTRL_GET_METADATA
to retrieve mp_tags metadata from a filter specified by label

Mainly meant to apply simple VapourSynth filters to video at runtime.
This has various restrictions, which are listed in the manpage.
Additionally, this actually copies video frames when converting frame
references from mpv to VapourSynth, and a second time when going from
VapourSynth to mpv. This is inefficient and could probably be easily
improved. But for now, this is simpler, and in fact I'm not sure if
we even can references VapourSynth frames after the core has been
destroyed.
The only tricky part is keeping the cache contents, which is made simple
by allocating the new cache while still keeping the old cache around,
and then copying the old data.
To explain the "Don't use this when playing DVD or Bluray." comment: the
cache also associates timestamps to blocks of bytes, but throws away the
timestamps on seek. Thus you will experience strange behavior after
resizing the cache until the old cached region is exhausted.
Now they can be paused and resumed.
Since pausing and disabling the timer is essentially the same underlying
operation, we also just provide one method for it.
mp.cancel_timer probably still works, but I'm considering this
deprecated, and it's removed from the manpage. (We didn't have a release
with this function yet, so no formal deprecation.)
This commit adds support for automatic selection of color profiles based on
the display where mpv is initialized, and automatically changes the color
profile when display is changed or the profile itself is changed from
System Preferences.
@UliZappe was responsible with the testing and implementation of a lot of this
commit, including the original implementation of `cocoa_get_icc_profile_path`
(See #594).
Fixes#594
Change the type of the property from a string list (alternating
key/value entries) to a map. Using the client API, this will return
MPV_FORMAT_NODE_MAP, while Lua mp.get_property_native returns a
dictionary-like table.
Change script_message to broadcast the message to all clients. Add a new
script_message_to command, which does what the old script_message
command did.
This is intended as simplification, although it might lead to chaos too.
They're strictly DVD-only, so it's better to mark them as such. This
also documentes the "title" (now renamed to "dvd-title") property.
This also avoids collision with the --title option. (Technically, there
was no problem. But it might be confusing for users, since we have a
policy of naming properties and options the same if they refer to the
same underlying functionality.)
Maybe this should be default. On the other hand, this filter does
something even if the volume is neutral: it clips samples against the
allowed range, should the decoder or a previous filter output garbage.
This adds the options replaygain-track and replaygain-album. If either is set,
the replaygain track or album gain will be automatically read from the track
metadata and the volume adjusted accordingly.
This only supports reading REPLAYGAIN_(TRACK|ALBUM)_GAIN tags. Other formats
like LAME's info header would probably require support from libav.
I've tried not to be too detailed (because it's not a reference, just
some guidelines), but it still got relatively long. Also contains
conventions for sending patches.
This commit:
- Changes some of the #define and variable names for clarification and
adds comments where appropriate.
- Unifies :srgb and :icc-profile, making them fit into the same step of
the decoding process and removing the weird interactions between both
of them.
- Makes :icc-profile take precedence over :srgb (to significantly reduce
the number of confusing and useless special cases)
- Moves BT709 decompanding (approximate or actual) to the shader in all
cases, making it happen before upscaling (instead of the old 0.45
gamma function). This is the simpler and more proper way to do it.
- Enables the approx gamma function to work with :srgb as well due to
this (since they now share the gamma expansion code).
- Renames :icc-approx-gamma to :approx-gamma since it is no longer tied
to the ICC options or LittleCMS.
- Uses gamma 2.4 as input space for the actual 3DLUT, this is now a
pretty arbitrary factor but I picked 2.4 mainly because a higher pure
power value here seems to produce visually better results with wide
gamut profiles, rather then the previous 1.95 or BT.709.
- Adds the input gamma space to the 3dlut cache header in case we change
it more in the future, or even make it user customizable (though I
don't see why the latter would really be necessary).
- Fixes the OSD's gamma when using :srgb, which was previously still
using the old (0.45) approximation in all cases.
- Updates documentation on :srgb, it was still mentioning the old
behavior from circa a year ago.
This commit should serve to both open up and make the CMS/shader code much
more accessible and less confusing/error-prone and simultaneously also
improve the performance of 3DLUTs with wide gamut color spaces.
I would liked to have made it more modular but almost all of these
changes are interdependent, save for the documentation updates.
Note: Right now, the "3DLUT takes precedence over SRGB" logic is just
coded into gl_lcms.c's compile_shaders function. Ideally, this should be
done earlier, when parsing the options (by overriding the actual
opts.srgb flag) and output a warning to the user.
Note: I'm not sure how well this works together with real-world
subtitles that may need to be color corrected as well. I'm not sure
whether :approx-gamma needs to apply to subtitles as well. I'll need to
test this on proper files later.
Note: As of now, linear light scaling is still intrinsically tied to
either :srgb or :icc-profile. It would be thinkable to have this as an
extra option, :linear-scaling or similar, that could be used with or
without the two color management options.
This removes the ringbuffer management from the code, and uses the
generic code added with the previous commit. The result should be
pretty much the same.
The "estimate" sub-option goes away. This estimation is now always
active. The new code for delay estimation is slightly different, and
follows the claim of the jack framework that callbacks are timed
exactly.
--ass-style-override=force now attempts to override the 'Default' style.
May or may not work. In some situations it will work, but also mess up
seemingly unrelated things like signs typeset with ASS.
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

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.
