-CHANGES FROM OTHER VERSIONS OF MPLAYER
-======================================
-
-**mpv** is based on mplayer2, which in turn is based on the original MPlayer
-(also called mplayer, mplayer-svn, mplayer1). Many changes have been made, a
-large part of which is incompatible or completely changes how the player
-behaves. Although there are still many similarities to its ancestors, **mpv**
-should generally be treated as a completely different program.
-
-.. note::
-    These lists are incomplete.
-
-General Changes for MPlayer to mpv
-----------------------------------
-
-* Switch to GPLv2+. (Technically speaking, MPlayer as a whole seems to be
-  GPLv2-only, while mplayer2 is GPLv3+ - see ``Copyright`` file for details.)
-* Removal of the internal GUI, MEncoder, OSD menu, video kernel drivers for
-  Linux 2.4 (including VIDIX)
-* Large internal cleanups
-* Removal of support for dead platforms
-* New buildsystem
-* No embedded copy of ffmpeg and other libraries
-* Better pause handling (do not unpause on a command)
-* Better MKV support (such as ordered chapters)
-* vo_vdpau improvements
-* Precise seeking support
-* Native OpenGL backend for OSX
-* General OSX improvements
-* Improvements in audio/video sync handling
-* Cleaned up terminal output
-* Gapless audio support (``--gapless-audio``)
-* Improved responsiveness on user input
-* Support for modifier keys (alt, shift, ctrl) in input.conf
-* OSS4 volume control
-* More correct color reproduction (color matrix generation)
-* Use libass for subtitle rendering by default (better quality)
-* Generally preferring ffmpeg/libav over internal demuxers and decoders
-* Improvements when playing multiple files (``--fixed-vo``)
-* Screenshot improvements (instant screenshots without 1-frame delay, allow
-  taking screenshots even with hardware decoding)
-* Improved support for PulseAudio
-* Generally improved MS Windows support (dealing with unicode filenames,
-  improved ``--vo=direct3d``, improved window handling)
-* Better OSD rendering (using libass). This has full unicode support, and
-  languages like Arabic should be better supported.
-* Cleaned up terminal output (nicer status line, less useless noise)
-* Support for playing URLs of popular streaming sites directly
-  (e.g. ``mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...``)
-* Improved OpenGL output (``--vo=opengl-hq``)
-* Make ``--softvol`` default (**mpv** is not a mixer control panel)
-* Improved support for .cue files
-* Screenshot improvements (can save screenshots as JPG or PNG, configurable
-  filenames, support for taking screenshots with or without subtitles - the
-  ``screenshot`` video filter is not needed anymore, and should not be put
-  into the mpv config file)
-* Removal of teletext support
-* Removal of most builtin demuxers, using libavformat instead
-* Removal of builtin network support, using libavformat instead (also,
-  support https via libavformat)
-* Replace image VOs (``--vo=jpeg`` etc.) with ``--vo=image``
-* Do not lose settings when playing a new file in the same player instance
-* New location for config files, new name for the binary.
-* Slave mode compatibility broken (see below)
-* Encoding functionality (replacement for mencoder, see ``DOCS/encoding.rst``)
-* Remove ``--vo=gif89a``, ``--vo=md5sum``, ``--vo=yuv4mpeg``, as encoding can
-  handle these use cases. For yuv4mpeg, for example, use:
-  ``mpv input.mkv -o output.y4m --no-audio --oautofps --oneverdrop``.
-* Image subtitles (DVDs etc.) are rendered in color and use more correct
-  positioning (color can be disabled with ``--sub-gray``)
-* Wayland support
-* Support for precise scrolling which scales the parameter of commands. If the
-  input doesn't support precise scrolling the scale factor stays 1.
-* OSX: Cocoa event loop is independent from mplayer's event loop, so user
-  actions like accessing menus and live resizing do not block the playback.
-* OSX: Apple Remote support.
-* OSX: Media Keys support.
-* Windows: Added WASAPI audio output.
-* New OSD bar with chapter marks and not positioned in the middle of the video
-  (though this can be customized with the ``--osd-bar-align-y`` option).
-* Allow customizing whether a key binding for seeking shows the video time, the
-  OSD bar, or nothing (see section `Input Command Prefixes`_).
-* Display list of chapters and audio/subtitle tracks on OSD (see section
-  `Properties`_).
-* ``--keep-open`` option to stop the player from closing the window and
-  exiting after playback ends.
-* Re-enable screensaver while the player is paused.
-* Matroska edition switching at runtime.
-* Support for libavfilter (for video->video and audio->audio). This allows
-  using most of FFmpeg's filters, which improve greatly on the old MPlayer
-  filters in features, performance, and correctness.
-* Improved downmixing and output of surround audio. Instead of using hardcoded
-  pan filters to do remixing, use libavresample. Channel maps are used to
-  identify the channel layout, so e.g. ``3.0`` and ``2.1`` audio can be
-  distinguished.
-* Allow resuming playback at a later point with ``Shift+q``, also see
-  ``quit_watch_later`` input command.
-* Support mapping multiple commands to one key.
-* Allow changing/adjusting video filters at runtime. (This is also used to make
-  the ``D`` key insert vf_yadif if deinterlacing is not supported otherwise.)
-* Native VAAPI support
-* OSX: VDA support using libavcodec hwaccel API insted of FFmpeg's decoder. Up
-  to 2-2.5x reduction in CPU usage.
-* Make hardware decoding in general work with the ``opengl`` video output.
-* Lua scripting (see `LUA SCRIPTING`_)
-* A client API, that allows embedding **mpv** into applications
-  (see ``libmpv/client.h`` in the sources)
-* General bug fixes and removal of long-standing issues
-* General code cleanups (including refactoring or rewrites of many parts)
-* Many more changes
-
-Detailed Listing of User-visible Changes
-----------------------------------------
-
-This listing is about changed command line switches, slave commands, and similar
-things. Completely removed features are not listed.
-
-Command Line Switches
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* There is a new command line syntax, which is generally preferred over the old
-  syntax. ``-optname optvalue`` becomes ``--optname=optvalue``.
-
-  The old syntax will not be removed. However, the new syntax is mentioned in
-  all documentation and so on, and unlike the old syntax is not ambiguous,
-  so it is a good thing to know about this change.
-* In general, negating switches like ``-noopt`` now have to be written as
-  ``-no-opt`` or ``--no-opt``.
-* Per-file options are not the default anymore. You can explicitly specify
-  file-local options. See ``Usage`` section.
-* Many options have been renamed, removed or changed semantics. Some options
-  that are required for a good playback experience with MPlayer are now
-  superfluous or even worse than the defaults, so make sure to read the manual
-  before trying to use your existing configuration with **mpv**.

-
-    Also, some video and audio filters have been removed, and you have to use
-    libavfilter (using ``--vf=lavfi=[...]`` or ``--af=lavfi=[...]``) to get
-    them back.

-input.conf and Slave Commands
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* Table of renamed input commands:
-
-    This lists only commands that are not always gracefully handled by the
-    internal legacy translation layer. If an input.conf contains any legacy
-    commands, a warning will be printed when starting the player. The warnings
-    also show the replacement commands.
-
-    Properties containing ``_`` to separate words use ``-`` instead.

-
-    .. note::
-
-        Due to lack of hardware and users using the TV/DVB/PVR features, and
-        due to the need to cleanup the related command code, it's possible
-        that the new commands are buggy or behave worse. This can be improved
-        if testers are available. Otherwise, some of the TV code will be
-        removed at some point.
-
-Slave mode
-~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* Slave mode is broken. This mode is entirely insane in the ``old`` versions of
-  MPlayer. A proper slave mode application needed tons of code and hacks to get
-  it right. The main problem is that slave mode is a bad and incomplete
-  interface, and to get around that, applications parsed output messages
-  intended for users. It is hard to know which messages exactly are parsed by
-  slave mode applications. This makes it virtually impossible to improve
-  terminal output intended for users without possibly breaking something.
-
-  This is absolutely insane, and **mpv** will not try to keep slave mode
-  compatible. If you are a developer of a slave mode application, contact us,
-  and a new and better protocol can be developed.
-
-  ``--identify`` was already removed (``TOOLS/mpv_identify.sh`` is provided
-  instead), and ``--slave-broken`` might be removed in the future.
-
-* **mpv** also provides a client API, which can be used to embed the player
-  by loading it as shared library. (See ``libmpv/client.h`` in the sources.)
-  It might also be possible to implement a custom slave mode-like protocol
-  using Lua scripting.
-
-* A slave protocol is planned, but nothing has emerged yet.
-
-Policy for Removed Features
----------------------------
-
-**mpv** is in active development. If something is in the way of more important
-development (such as fixing bugs or implementing new features), we sometimes
-remove features. Usually this happens only with old features that either seem
-to be useless, or are not used by anyone. Often these are obscure, or
-"inherited", or were marked experimental, but never received any particular
-praise by any users.
-
-Sometimes, features are replaced by something new. The new code will be either
-simpler or more powerful, but doesn't necessarily provide everything the old
-feature did.
-
-We can not exclude that we accidentally remove features that are actually
-popular. Generally, we do not know how much a specific functionality is used.
-If you miss a feature and think it should be re-added, please open an issue
-on the mpv bug tracker. Hopefully, a solution can be found. Often, it turns
-out that re-adding something is not much of a problem, or that there are
-better alternatives.
-
-Why this Fork?
---------------
-
-mplayer2 is practically dead, and mpv started out as a branch containing
-new/experimental development. (Some of it was merged right *after* the fork
-was made public, seemingly as an acknowledgment that development, or at
-least merging, should have been more active.)
-
-MPlayer is focused on not breaking anything, but is stuck with a horrible
-codebase resistant to cleanup. (Unless you do what mpv did - merciless and
-consequent pruning of bad, old code.) Cleanup and keeping broken things
-conflict, so the kind of development mpv strives for can't be done within
-MPlayer due to clashing development policies.
-
-Additionally, mplayer2 already had lots of changes over MPlayer, which would
-have needed to be backported to the MPlayer codebase. This would not only
-have been hard (several years of diverging development), but also would have
-been impossible due to the aforementioned MPlayer development policy.
