In the distant past, the cuviddec backed copy hwaccel could be
configured directly using lavc options. However, since that time,
we gained support for automatic hw ctx creation which ended up
bypassing the lavc options.
Rather than trying to find a way to pass those options again, a
better idea is to make the 'cuda-decode-device' option, used by
the interop hwaccels, work for the copy hwaccels too.
And that's pretty simple: we have to add a create function that
checks the option and passes it on to ffmpeg.
Note that this does require a slight re-jig to the configuration
flags, as we now have a scenario where we want to build with support
for the cuda copy hwaccels but not the interop ones. So we need
a distinct configuration flag for that combination.
Fixes#7295.
Thought it might be useful to document some of these things, instead of
explaining them over and over again. But I can guarantee that nobody
will ever read all this. (Independent of its quality and completeness.)
Add an "auto-safe" mode, mostly triggered by Ubuntu's nonsense to force
hwdec=vaapi in the global config file in their mpv package. But to be
honest it's probably something more people want.
This is implemented as explicit whitelist. On Windows, HEVC/Intel is
sometimes broken, but it's still whitelisted, and in theory we'd need a
detailed whitelist of device names etc. (like for example browsers tend
to do). On OSX, videotoolbox is a pretty bad choice, but unfortunately
the only one, so it's whitelisted too. There may be a larger number of
hwdec wrappers that work anyway, and I'm for example ignoring Android.
A minority of users have expressed a dislike of hats, calling them
"cancer [that] don't belong in software" describing the people who add
them as "shitty circlejerks" and "chucklefuck."
While I personally disagree with those opinions, it's probably easier
to let them have it their way. For that reason this adds the option
`greenandgrumpy` to the osc, which allows users to disable the hat.
Lua scripting has an undocumented mp.set_osd_ass() function, which is
used by osc.lua and console.lua. Apparently, 3rd party scripts also use
this. It's probably time to make this a public API.
The Lua implementation just bypassed the libmpv API. To make it usable
by any type of client, turn it into a command, "osd-overlay".
There's already a "overlay-add". Ignore it (although the manpage admits
guiltiness). I don't really want to deal with that old command. Its main
problem is that it uses global IDs, while I'd like to avoid that scripts
mess with each others overlays (whether that is accidentally or
intentionally). Maybe "overlay-add" can eventually be merged into
"osd-overlay", but I'm too lazy to do that now.
Scripting now uses the commands. There is a helper to manage OSD
overlays. The helper is very "thin"; I only want to force script authors
to use the ID allocation, which may help with putting multiple scripts
into a single .lua file without causing conflicts (basically, avoiding
singletons within a script's environment). The old set_osd_ass() is
emulated with the new API.
The JS scripting wrapper also provides a set_osd_ass() function, which
calls internal mpv API. Comment that part (to keep it compiling), but
I'm leaving it to @avih to finish the change.
Now that 00af718a made the lua read_options behavior much more similar
to the js behavior, the main difference was that lua does not re-read
the config file at on_update (but it does re-apply its stored content)
while js did re-read it.
Now the js on_update also does not re-read the config file and instead
applies its stored original content.
This is slightly hacky by adding an undocumented optional 4th argument
to read_options which allows overriding the config file content.
As described in the manpage changes. This makes more sense than the
previous approach, where options could "unexpectedly" stick. Although
this is still a somewhat arbitrary policy (ask many people and you'd get
a number of different expectations on what should happen), I think that
it reflects what mpv's builtin stuff does.
All the copying is annoying, but let's just hope nobody is stupid enough
to change these properties per video frame or something equally
ridiculous.
Apparently there are two different options for controlling which
screen an mpv window goes onto: --fs-screen and --screen. The former
explicitly only controls which screen a fullscreened window goes onto,
but does not appear to actually care about this option at runtime for
X11, so pressing f will always fullscreen to the screen mpv is currently
on. This means the option is of questionable usefulness for starters.
Making it worse, if you use --screen=1 --fs, mpv will actually fullscreen
on screen 0, because --fs-screen isn't set. Instead of doing that, fall
back to whatever --screen is set to.
This is a bit different than the lua code: on script-opts change it
simply re-applies the conf-file and script-opts to the options object,
and if this results in any changed value at options then on_update is
called with the changelist as argument.
This allows a value to revert back to the conf-file value if the
matching script-opts key had a different value and then got deleted.
It also guarantees to call back whenever the options object is
modified, which the lua code doesn't do (e.g. if the caller changed
a value and the observer changed it back - it won't detect a change).
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 decided to factor this into the user's scale option (instead of
somehow using it as default if the user has not specified it), because
it makes the option handling simpler, and won't break things like
per-screen DPI if the user only wants to scale the console font by a
factor.
Until now, .edl files accepted only "simple" filenames, i.e. no relative
or absolute paths, no URLs. Now that the origin bullshit is a bit
cleaned up and enforced in the EDL code, there's absolutely no reason to
keep this.
The new code behaves somewhat similar to playlists. (Although playlists
are special because they're not truly recursively opened.)
Very primitive and dumb, but fulfils its purpose for the next commits.
I chose this specific implementation because it has the lowest footprint
in command.c, without resorting to crazy hacks such as sending messages
between scripts (which would be hard to coordinate especially on
startup).
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.
This is similar to the "edition" change.
I considered making this go through deprecation, but didn't have a good
idea how to do that. Maybe it's fine, because this is pretty obscure.
But it might break some API users/scripts (it certainly broke
stats.lua), and all I have to say is sorry for that.
See manpage/changelog changes.
The purpose of this change is to removes another case of inconsistent
property behavior. At first I wanted to make this go through deprecation
before making a technically incompatible change, but then I considered
this feature too obscure as that anyone would care.
the Apple Remote has long been deprecated and abandoned by Apple.
current macs don't come with support for it anymore. support might be
re-added with the next commit.
People somehow think "should" makes things optional, even though the
wording was merely trying to account for the exception of the rule. I
guess this means programming documents should sound like we're running a
police state (which is also the ultimate outcome of all technological
development, if you weren't aware).

And troll Microsoft slightly while we're at it. But is it trolling if
it's the truth?
The level of C99 support in MSVC is probably a bit better than most
people think, but it's by far not adequate. We need a bit of either C11
or GNU extensions too, and rely on some MinGW helpers (that look like
they're provided by MS, except they're not).
Seems like this was silently changed to enabled by default on the change
to libplacebo, without adjusting the manpage. Fix the documented
default.
Also add a comment about Nvidia; see referenced issue.
Fixes: #7245
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.

To aid in discoverability, and to address the most common case
directly, I'm adding an 'auto' mode for the window controls. In
this case, we will show the controls if there is no window border
and hide them if there are borders. This also respects the option
being toggled at runtime.
To ensure that it works in the wayland case, I've also made sure
that the wayland code explicitly forces the option to false if
decoration support is missing.
Based on feedback, I've split the config in two, with one option
for whether controls are active, and one for alignment. These are
new enough that we can get away with ignoring compatibility.
The demuxer_id (exported in as "src-id" property) is supposed to be the
native stream ID, as it exists in the file, or -1 if that does not exist
(actually any negative value), or if it is unknown.
Until now, an ID was made up if it was missing. That seems like strange
non-sense, and I can't find the reason why it was done. But it was
probably for convenience by the EDL stuff or so.
Stop doing this. Fortunately, the src-id property was documented as
being unavailable if the ID is not known. Even the code for this was
present, it was just inactive until now. Extend input.rst with some
explanations.
Also fixing 3 other places where negative demuxer_id was ignored or
avoided.
Pretty annoying affair. The vo_gpu code could of course not trigger
rendering from filters yet, so it needed to be extended. Also, this uses
some icky stuff made for vf_sub (and this was the reason I marked vf_sub
as deprecated), so everything is terrible.
It seems logical to account for the window controls if `boxvideo`
is in use (which has the effect of reducing the size of the video
so that the osc is not covering the video).
Probably pretty useless in this form (see: the wall of warnings), but
someone wanted this.
I think this should be useful to perform some automated tests, maybe.
