Usually, +only incompatible or important changes are mentioned. New options/commands/etc. +are not always listed. Interface changes ================= :: + --- mpv 0.35.0 --- + - add the `--vo=gpu-next` video output driver, as well as the options + `--allow-delayed-peak-detect`, `--builtin-scalers`, + `--interpolation-preserve` `--lut`, `--lut-type`, `--image-lut`, + `--image-lut-type` and `--target-lut` along with it. + - add `--target-colorspace-hint` + - add `--tone-mapping-crosstalk` + - add `--tone-mapping` options `auto`, `spline` and `bt.2446a` + - add `--inverse-tone-mapping` + - add `--gamut-mapping-mode`, replacing `--gamut-clipping` and `--gamut-warning` + - add `--tone-mapping-mode`, replacing `--tone-mapping-desaturate` and + `--tone-mapping-desaturate-exponent`. + - add `dolbyvision` sub-parameter to `format` video filter + - `--sub-visibility` no longer has any effect on secondary subtitles + --- mpv 0.34.0 --- + - deprecate selecting by card number with `--drm-connector`, add + `--drm-device` which can be used instead + - add `--screen-name` and `--fs-screen-name` flags to allow selecting the + screen by its name instead of the index + - add `--macos-geometry-calculation` to change the rectangle used for screen + position and size calculation. the old behavior used the whole screen, + which didn't take the menu bar and Dock into account. The new default + behaviour includes both. To revert to the old behavior set this to + `whole`. + - add an additional optional `albumart` argument to the `video-add` command, + which tells mpv to load the given video as album art. + - undeprecate `--cache-secs` option + - remove `--icc-contrast` and introduce `--icc-force-contrast`. The latter + defaults to the equivalent of the old `--icc-contrast=inf`, and can + instead be used to specifically set the contrast to any value. + - add a `--watch-later-options` option to allow configuring which + options quit-watch-later saves + - make `current-window-scale` writeable and use it in the default input.conf + - add `--input-builtin-bindings` flag to control loading of built-in key + bindings during start-up (default: yes). + - add ``track-list/N/image`` sub-property + - remove `--opengl-restrict` option + - js custom-init: use filename ~~/init.js instead of ~~/.init.js (dot) + --- mpv 0.33.0 --- + - add `--d3d11-exclusive-fs` flag to enable D3D11 exclusive fullscreen mode + when the player enters fullscreen. + - directories in ~/.mpv/scripts/ (or equivalent) now have special semantics + (see mpv Lua scripting docs) + - names starting with "." in ~/.mpv/scripts/ (or equivalent) are now ignored + - js modules: ~~/scripts/modules.js/ is no longer used, global paths can be + set with custom init (see docs), dir-scripts first look at <dir>/modules/ + - the OSX bundle now logs to "~/Library/Logs/mpv.log" by default + - deprecate the --cache-secs option (once removed, the cache cannot be + limited by time anymore) + - remove deprecated legacy hook API ("hook-add", "hook-ack"). Use either the + libmpv API (mpv_hook_add(), mpv_hook_continue()), or the Lua scripting + wrappers (mp.add_hook()). + - improve how property change notifications are delivered on events and on + hooks. In particular, a hook event is only returned to a client after all + changes initiated before the hook point were delivered to the same client. + In addition, it should no longer happen that events and property change + notifications were interleaved in bad ways (it could happen that a + property notification delivered after an event contained a value that was + valid only before the event happened). + - the playlist-pos and playlist-pos-1 properties now can return and accept + -1, and are never unavailable. Out of range indexes are now accepted, but + behave like writing -1. + - the playlist-pos and playlist-pos-1 properties deprecate the current + behavior when writing back the current value to the property: currently, + this restarts playback, but in the future, it will do nothing. + Using the "playlist-play-index" command is recommended instead. + - add "playlist-play-index" command + - add playlist-current-pos, playlist-playing-pos properties + - Lua end-file events set the "error" field; this is deprecated; use the + "file_error" instead for this specific event. Scripts relying on the + "error" field for end-file will silently break at some point in the + future. + - remove deprecated --input-file option, add --input-ipc-client, which is + vaguely a replacement of the removed option, but not the same + - change another detail for track selection options (see --aid manpage + entry) + - reading loop-file property as native property or mpv_node will now return + "inf" instead of boolean true (also affects loop option) + - remove some --vo-direct3d-... options (it got dumbed down; use --vo=gpu) + - remove video-params/plane-depth property (was too vaguely defined) + - remove --video-sync-adrop-size option (implementation was changed, no + replacement for what this option did) + - undeprecate --video-sync=display-adrop + - deprecate legacy auto profiles (profiles starting with "extension." and + "protocol."). Use conditional auto profiles instead. + - the "subprocess" command does not connect spawned processes' stdin to + mpv's stdin anymore. Instead, stdin is connected to /dev/null by default. + To get the old behavior, set the "passthrough_stdin" argument to true. + - key/value list options do not accept ":" as item separator anymore, + only ",". This means ":" is always considered part of the value. + - remove deprecated --vo-vdpau-deint option + - add `delete-watch-later-config` command to complement + `write-watch-later-config` + --- mpv 0.32.0 --- + - change behavior when using legacy option syntax with options that start + with two dashes (``--`` instead of a ``-``). Now, using the recommended + syntax is required for options starting with ``--``, which means an option + value must be strictly passed after a ``=``, instead of as separate + argument. For example, ``--log-file f.txt`` was previously accepted and + behaved like ``--log-file=f.txt``, but now causes an error. Use of legacy + syntax that is still supported now prints a deprecation warning. + --- mpv 0.31.0 --- + - add `--resume-playback-check-mtime` to check consistent mtime when + restoring playback state. + - add `--d3d11-output-csp` to enable explicit selection of a D3D11 + swap chain color space. + - the --sws- options and similar now affect vo_image and screenshot + conversion (does not matter as much for vo_gpu, which does most of this + with shaders) + - add a builtin "sw-fast" profile, which restores performance settings + for software video conversion. These were switched to higher quality since + mpv 0.30.0 (related to the previous changelog entry). This affects video + outputs like vo_x11 and vo_drm, and screenshots, but not much else. + - deprecate --input-file (there are no plans to remove this short-term, + but it will probably eventually go away <- that was a lie) + - deprecate --video-sync=display-adrop (might be removed if it's in the way; + undeprecated or readded if it's not too much of a problem) + - deprecate all input section commands (these will be changed/removed, as + soon as mpv internals do not require them anymore) + - remove deprecated --playlist-pos alias (use --playlist-start) + - deprecate --display-fps, introduce --override-display-fps. The display-fps + property now is unavailable if no VO exists (or the VO did not return a + display FPS), instead of returning the option value in this case. The + property will keep existing, but writing to it is deprecated. + - the vf/af properties now do not reject the set value anymore, even if + filter chain initialization fails. Instead, the vf/af options are always + set to the user's value, even if it does not reflect the "runtime" vf/af + chain. + - the vid/aid/sid/secondary-sid properties (and their aliases: "audio", + "video", "sub") will now allow setting any track ID; before this change, + only IDs of actually existing tracks could be set (the restriction was + active the MPV_EVENT_FILE_LOADED/"file-loaded" event was sent). Setting + an ID for which no track exists is equivalent to disabling it. Note that + setting the properties to non-existing tracks may report it as selected + track for a small time window, until it's forced back to "no". The exact + details how this is handled may change in the future. + - remove old Apple Remote support, including --input-appleremote + - add MediaPlayer support and remove the old Media Key event tap on macOS. + this possibly also re-adds the Apple Remote support + - the "edition" property now strictly returns the value of the option, + instead of the runtime value. The new "current-edition" property needs to + be queried to read the runtime-chosen edition. This is a breaking change + for any users which expected "edition" to return the runtime-chosen + edition at default settings (--edition=auto). + - the "window-scale" property now strictly returns the value of the option, + instead of the actual size of the window. The new "current-window-scale" + property needs to be queried to read the value as indicated by the current + window size. This is a breaking change. + - explicitly deprecate passing more than 1 item to "-add" suffix in key/value + options (for example --script-opts-add). This was actually always + deprecated, like with other list options, but the option parser did not + print a warning in this particular case. + - deprecate -del for list options (use -remove instead, which is by content + instead of by integer index) + - if `--fs` is used but `--fs-screen` is not set, mpv will now use `--screen` + instead. + - change the default of --hwdec to "no" on RPI. The default used to be "mmal" + specifically if 'Raspberry Pi support' was enabled at configure time + (equivalent to --enable-rpi). Use --hwdec=mmal to get the old behavior. --- mpv 0.30.0 --- + - add `--d3d11-output-format` to enable explicit selection of a D3D11 + swap chain format. + - rewrite DVB channel switching to use an integer value + `--dvbin-channel-switch-offset` for switching instead of the old + stream controls which are now gone. Cycling this property up or down will + change the offset to the channel which was initially tuned to. + Example for `input.conf`: `H cycle dvbin-channel-switch-offset up`, + `K cycle dvbin-channel-switch-offset down`. + - adapt `stream_dvb` to support writing to `dvbin-prog` at runtime + and also to consistently use dvbin-configuration over URI parameters + when provided + - add `--d3d11-adapter` to enable explicit selection of a D3D11 rendering + adapter by name. - rename `--drm-osd-plane-id` to `--drm-draw-plane`, `--drm-video-plane-id` to `--drm-drmprime-video-plane` and `--drm-osd-size` to `--drm-draw-surface-size` to better reflect what the options actually control, that the values they @@ -65,21 +244,28 @@ Interface changes dropped: `cache`, `cache-size`, `cache-free`, `cache-used`, `--cache-default`, `--cache-initial`, `--cache-seek-min`, `--cache-backbuffer`, `--cache-file`, `--cache-file-size` - - remove async playback abort hack.
