It's ridiculous that --script=something.dumb does not cause an error.
Make it error, and extend this behavior to the scripts/ sub-dir in the
mpv config dir.
Addresses dumb things like accidentally overwriting a media file with
e.g. "mpv --log-file test.mkv" (when the user thought that --log-file
was a flag option, when it actually takes a filename). This example will
now print an error. It still works with "-log-file overwritten.mkv", but
prints a warning.
Not sure if I'm being too careful or not "radical" enough. In any case,
both the syntax that stops working and the syntax that produces a
warning now have been discouraged and were called legacy for almost a
decade.
Although they were not undocumented, they were hidden away in the
respective manpage sections. It's a good idea to add them to the main
keyboard bindings overview too. stats.lua also did this.
I don't even know anymore whether this was intended or not. Certain use
cases for the "-o" options might require this. These options are for
passing general FFmpeg options. These are translated to av_opt_set()
calls, which may or may not accumulate the option values on multiple
calls with the same option name (how should I know?).
Anyway, it seems crazy to allow non-unique keys, so make them unique.
The ad-hoc nature of the option code makes this wonderfully complicated
(when I wrote that this code is cursed, I meant it). In combination with
lazy testing, it probably means there are lots of bugs here.
Whenever I deal with this, I have to look at the code to make sense of
this. And beyond that, there are some strange inconsistencies. (I think
this code is cursed. It always was, and maybe always will be.)
Although the manpage claimed that using multiple items for -add etc. is
deprecated, string list options didn't warn against it. So add the
warning, and add something in the changelog (even though nobody will
ever read this).
The manpage mentioned --vf-append, but this didn't even exist. So add
it, I guess. We encourage using -append for the other option types, so
for consistency, it should work on filter options. (And I already
tricked me into believing it existed when I mentioned it in the
manpage.)
Make the "operations" table separate for all option types, and mention
the option type on every single of the top-level list options.
Merged from mpv-repl git repo commit 5ea2bf64f9c239f0326b02. Some
changes were made on top of it:
- Tabs were converted to 4 spaces indentation (plus some manual
indentation fixes in some places).
- All user-visible mentions of "repl" were renamed to "console".
- The README was converted to a manpage (with heavy changes, some
additions taken from stats.rst; rossy converted the key bindings
table to RST).
- The method to change the default key binding was changed.
- Change minor detail about "font" default value setting (not a
functional change).
- Integrate into the player as builtin script, including an option to
prevent loading it.

Give an overview over the various methods. I feel like I've written text
like this over and over again (compatibility.rst and
interface-changes.rst for example duplicate the list of mpv API
abstractions), but such is life in hell.
Use this in particular to strongly suggest not to parse terminal output.
This suggestion got lost or de-emphasized at some point (maybe when
removing MPlayer and "slave mode" references). Some of this text is
still there, but it can be considered "fine print" at best, that nobody
will see. Now we have it in a more prominent place. This is especially
important since MPlayer-style use of mpv still seems to be prevalent,
see for example #7153.
tv:// and pvr:// are gone, DVD almost. The former didn't really have any
uses left, except webcams. Provide a replacement example for that.
We don't need a separate section for DVD. If you use DVD, you're on your
own. There's still enough documentation left to puzzle things together
even if you don't read the source code.
Replace the "+" with "/". The "+" was supposed to imply that the cache
is the sum of the time (demuxer cache) and the size in bytes (stream
cache). We could not provide something nicer, because we had no idea how
many seconds of media was buffered in the stream cache.
Now the stream cache is done, and both the duration and byte size show
the amount buffered in the demuxer cache. Hopefully "/" is better to
imply this properly. Update the manpage explanations too.
stream_dvd.c contained large amounts of ancient, unmaintained code,
which has been historically moved to libdvdnav. Basically, it's full of
low level parsing of DVD on-disc structures.
Kill it for good. Users can use the remaining dvdnav support (which
basically operates in non-menu mode). Users have reported that
libdvdread sometimes works better, but this is just libdvdnav's problem
and not ours.
Someone on IRC pointed out that the default stats bindings weren't
documented in the interactive control section of the manual, so
let's add them with a short mention and a reference to the STATS
section of the manual.
This adds key bindings for some semi-popular features. It also tries to
cleanup some old bindings. For example w/e for panscan is now changed to
w/W. In all cases, the old bindings are still kept and work, though.
Part of an ongoing attempt to cleanup the default key bindings.
See #973 for some context.
Well I guess it doesn't help that much.
Also add some stuff that might help to the manpage.
The fundamental problem with some "live" sources (e.g. x11grab) is
actually that the player gets behind initially, and never thinks it has
to catch up. This is also why --untimed can help.
Do this because retrying reading on higher levels (like the demuxer)
usually causes tons of problems. A hack like this is simpler and could
allow to remove some of the higher level retry behavior.
This works by trying to detect whether the file is appended. If we reach
EOF, check if the file size changed compared to the initial value. If it
did, it means the file was appended at least once, and we set the
p->appending flag. If that flag is set, we simply retry reading more
data every time we encounter EOF. The only way to do this is polling,
and we poll for at most 10 times, after waiting for 200ms every time.
Requested. See manpage additions.
The main reason why this goes through the trouble to keep the
action/operation parameter separate is so that we don't expose some
option parser implementation details to the command (although that is a
relatively weak reason), and also to make it more different from the
"set" command, which can't support this type of option as it goes
through the property layer.
Fixes#5435.
I don't want to add another field to display stream and demuxer cache
separately, so just add them up. This strangely makes sense, since the
forward buffered stream cache amount consists of data not read by the
demuxer yet. (If the demuxer cache has buffered the full stream, the
forward buffered stream cache amount is 0.)
This is done in several steps:
1. refactor MPGLContext -> struct ra_ctx
2. move GL-specific stuff in vo_opengl into opengl/context.c
3. generalize context creation to support other APIs, and add --gpu-api
4. rename all of the --opengl- options that are no longer opengl-specific
5. move all of the stuff from opengl/* that isn't GL-specific into gpu/
(note: opengl/gl_utils.h became opengl/utils.h)
6. rename vo_opengl to vo_gpu
7. to handle window screenshots, the short-term approach was to just add
it to ra_swchain_fns. Long term (and for vulkan) this has to be moved to
ra itself (and vo_gpu altered to compensate), but this was a stop-gap
measure to prevent this commit from getting too big
8. move ra->fns->flush to ra_gl_ctx instead
9. some other minor changes that I've probably already forgotten
Note: This is one half of a major refactor, the other half of which is
provided by rossy's following commit. This commit enables support for
all linux platforms, while his version enables support for all non-linux
platforms.
Note 2: vo_opengl_cb.c also re-uses ra_gl_ctx so it benefits from the
--opengl- options like --opengl-early-flush, --opengl-finish etc. Should
be a strict superset of the old functionality.
Disclaimer: Since I have no way of compiling mpv on all platforms, some
of these ports were done blindly. Specifically, the blind ports included
context_mali_fbdev.c and context_rpi.c. Since they're both based on
egl_helpers, the port should have gone smoothly without any major
changes required. But if somebody complains about a compile error on
those platforms (assuming anybody actually uses them), you know where to
complain.
The changes to path list options is basically getting rid of the need to
pass multiple paths to a single option. Instead, you can use the option
multiple times. The old behavior can be used by using the -set suffix
with the option.
Change some options to path lists. For example --script is now append by
default, and if you use --script-set, you need to use ":"/";" as
separator instead of ",".
--sub-paths/--audio-file-paths is a deprecated alias now, and will break
if the user tries to pass multiple paths to it. I'm assuming that if
these are used, most users will pass only 1 path anyway.
--opengl-shaders has more compatibility handling, since it's probably
rather common that users pass multiple options to it.
Also document all that in the manpage.
I'll probably regret this later, as it somewhat increases the complexity
of the option parser, rather than increasing it.
A relic of mplayer had 'I' as the keybind to show the filename of the
currently playing file on the OSD. mpv does not do this by default.
This commit removes this incorrect information from the mpv manage.
Implements JS with almost identical API to the Lua support.
Key differences from Lua:
- The global mp, mp.msg and mp.utils are always available.
- Instead of returning x, error, return x and expose mp.last_error().
- Timers are JS standard set/clear Timeout/Interval.
- Supports CommonJS modules/require.
- Added at mp.utils: getenv, read_file, write_file and few more.
- Global print and dump (expand objects) functions.
- mp.options currently not supported.
See DOCS/man/javascript.rst for more details.
Sometime earlier, "sub-ass-style-override" was renamed to
"sub-ass-override". The option's documentation was updated to support
this, but not the documentation for the hotkey that toggles this option.
This commit updates the keyboard shortcut documentation to fix that.

Update man page for fonts.conf and subfont.ttf. These are two
undocumented features in mpv. They were only hardcoded into sub/ass_mp.c
and could not be found anywhere else in the entire codebase. Git log
reveals that fonts.conf was added in 2013 while subfont.ttf was brought
in by a ancient patch of mplayer in 2002...
These are two quite useful undocumented features when you do not want to
mess up with global fonts.conf to include more fonts.
Also document ~/.config/mpv/fonts/ directory and suggest using fonts.conf
to include additional fonts.
mpv reads all files in ~/.config/mpv/fonts/ directory into memory. If
there are a lot of fonts in that directory, mpv would use a lot of
memory. Using ~/.config/mpv/fonts.conf to include additional fonts is
more memory-efficent.
The reST contents directive is added to mpv.rst.
In wscript_build.py, the --strip-elements-with-class=contents option is
needed for the rst2man call in order to prevent the TOC from appearing
in mpv.1.
