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.
This now stores caches for multiple ICC profiles, potentially all the
user has ever used. The big use case for this is for users with multiple
monitors. The old logic would mandate recomputing the LUT and discarding
the cache whenever dragging mpv from one screen to another.
This also avoids having to save and check the ICC profile itself, since
the file name already uniquely determines it.
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.
So that the user realizes where they come from, or can find them at all.
This was a common complaint, and this is the most lazy solution. Better
suggestions for a default template are welcome.
win32 has a special function for this.
I'm not sure about OSX - it seems ~/Desktop can be hardcoded, and the
OSX GUI actually localizes the _displayed_ path in its UI.
For Unix, there is not much to be done, or is there.
Now the rescan_external_files command will by default reselect the audio
and subtitle streams. This should be more intuitive.
Client API users and Lua scripts might break, but can be fixed in a
backward-compatible way by setting the mode explicitly.
This was in the "Window" section. It has absolutely nothing to do with
windows. Move it to the "Miscellaneous" section instead. The "--mc"
option, which has a similar function, was already there.
The build failed because rst2pdf apparently has problems with
page breaks. In this case, the link to the ALSA upmix guide was
causing a page break in an admonition block. My guess is that
rst2pdf screws up when it can’t fill at least one line of text
following a page break, so I worked around this by making that
paragraph a little longer. Seems to do the trick.
I also shortened the URL using GitHub’s service because it was
causing some rather unsightly formatting in the manpage output.
Maybe we should just build HTML instead of a PDF.
Since joystick support was removed and is a difference from mplayer, it
should be included in the document with the mplayer changes.
It will help new users who were using mplayer's joystick support to
seek alternatives when switching to mpv. It will also be helpful for
people that had problems with the joystick support in mplayer (for
example, by incorrectly recognizing other input devices as joystick)
to know that those problems won't persist in mpv.
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.
Useful for dealing with libavfilter's terrible graph syntax.
Not strictly backwards compatible (for example "[a[b]" fails now - the
"[" within the quote is interpreted now). But hopefully it's obscure
enough not to warrant any kind of compatibility hacks.
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.
It seems this choice was never documented. "always" is actually older
than "yes", so just declare it a compatibility value for "yes". (Also
move it before "always" in the C code to make this clear.)
I tried to find that option by searching for terms like “cover art”
and got nothing. I imagine most users would look for similar terms.
Hope this helps.
The gender specific pronoun is changed, since we shouldn't assume the
gender of the user.
The sentence itself is also changed to be more correct in general.
