| * manpage: cleanupwm42012-10-241-116/+45
| | | | | | | | | | Removing text about things that have been removed from the code long ago, other fixes.
| * options: remove --ffactor switchwm42012-10-241-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This controlled the generation of the palette for DVD subs if no palette was found. The option name and description is confusing, and it was probably barely useful. Remove the option, and hardcode the behavior to the option's default value.
| * options: remove --subfont-autoscale (changes default font scale)wm42012-10-241-12/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code for this option attempted to emulate the old as-documented behavior. It wasn't very good at it, and now that the old OSD code has been removed, it's entirely pointless. This removes the factor 1.7 with which --subfont-text-scale was multiplied.
| * options: remove subtitle related options that did nothingwm42012-10-241-29/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of these cased working when the OSD was switched to libass, or didn't do anything even before that. Also don't recursively include subreader.h in sub.h.
| * Remove things related to old OSDwm42012-10-241-24/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To ease changing all the VOs to the new OSD rendering, fallbacks, conversions, support code etc. was left all over the code. Now that all VOs have been changed, all that code is inactive. Remove it. Strip down spudec.c. We don't need the old grayscale and scaling stuff anymore. (Not removing spudec itself yet - I'm not confident that the libavcodec DVD sub decoder is sufficient, and it would also require some hacks to get DVD palette and resolution information from libdvdread to libavcodec.) The option --spuaa, --spualign, --spugauss were used with the old sub scaling code, and don't do anything anymore.

| * | sub: remove logic for disabling hinting on scaled EOSDwm42012-10-161-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was an extremely obscure setting, as it was used only with vo_gl if its scaled-osd suboption was used. If you really want this, you can set the desired ass-hinting value directly, and there will be literally no loss in functionality. Note that this didn't actually test whether the EOSD was scaled. Basically, it only checked whether vo_gl had the scaled-osd suboption set.
| * | vo_gl, options: remove doublebuffering option (--double)wm42012-10-161-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Useless. It complicated the code and caused flicker, and was useless otherwise. The manpage describes this option as "should not normally be used". One possibly useful effect from the point of view of the user was that vsync was disabled. You can do this with the --vsync option, or by changing X/driver settings directly.

* | | options: remove --hr-mp3-seekwm42012-10-301-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This didn't do anything anymore. Even before the internal audio demuxer was removed, demux_lavf was used by default for mp3. Use --hr-seek instead.
* | | options: remove --adapterwm42012-10-301-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This probably didn't do anything. Maybe OpenGL VOs on win32 actually could make use of it, but even then it probably didn't work.
* | | options: rename -ni to -avi-niwm42012-10-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The -ni option does something with the AVI demuxer only. Also fix misleading error messages when the packet queue overflows (it suggests using -ni, which in the typical case of playing NI AVI files will not work, as demux_lavf is used by default).

* | input: add input test modewm42012-10-141-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In input test mode, key bindings won't be executed, but are shown on the OSD. The OSD includes various information, such as the name of the key, the command itself, whether it's builtin, and the config file location it was defined. The input test mode can be enabled with "--input=test". No effort is spent trying to react to key bindings that normally exit the player; they are treated just like any other binding.

| * | sub: add --ass-style-override option to disable style overrideswm42012-10-121-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a number of options which modify ASS subtitle rendering. Most of these do things that can interfere with the styling done by subtitle scripts, resulting in incorrect rendering. Add the --ass-style-override option to make it easy to disable all overrides. This helps trouble- shooting, and makes it more practical to use the override features. (You can simply toggle the ass-style-override property at runtime, should one of the style override options break subtitle rendering at a certain point.) This mainly affects whether most --ass-* options are applied, as well as --sub-pos. Some things, like explicit style overrides loaded with --ass-force-style, can't be changed at runtime using the ass-style-override property.
| * | options: add --status-msgwm42012-10-121-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replaces the status line with a custom string. This is probably useful for hacking old slave mode applications into working again. Even if not, this might be generally useful.
| * | manpage: document input.conf related thingswm42012-10-121-8/+26

| * | commands: add more property-option bridge uses, rename some optionswm42012-10-121-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make more properties use the property-to-option bridge to reduce code size and to enforce consistency. Some options are renamed to the same as the properties (the property names are better in all cases). Do some other minor cleanups. One bigger issue was memory management of strings: M_PROPERTY_TO_STRING assumed the strings were statically allocated, and no dynamic allocations could be returned. Fix this in case the need for such properties arises in the future. Get rid of m_property_string_ro(), because it's not always clear that the "action" parameter is M_PROPERTY_SET and the string argument will be used.
| * | options: accept "yes" and "no" only for flagswm42012-10-121-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the alternative values like "off", "0", "false" etc., and also the non-English versions of these. This is done for general consistency. It's better to have a single way of doing things when multiple ways don't add singificant value. Also update some choices for consistency.
| * | commands: rename "osdlevel" option and property, make it a choicewm42012-10-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename both the option and property to "osd-level", which fits a bit better with the general naming scheme. Make it a choice instead of an integer range. I failed to come up with good names for the various levels, so leave them as-is. Remove the useless property handler for the "loop" property too.
| * | commands: replace --hardframedrop, change framedropping propertywm42012-10-121-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace --hardframedrop with --framedrop=hard. Rename the framedrop property from "framedropping" to "framedrop" for the sake of making command line options have the same name as their corresponding property. Change the property to accept choice values instead of numeric values. Remove unused/forgotten auto_quality variable.
* | | Rename to "mpv"wm42012-10-121-87/+75
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the name of this project to mpv. Most user-visible mentions of "MPlayer" and "mplayer" are changed to "mpv". The binary name and the default config file location are changed as well. The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/ Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts. These contained outdated dependencies and likely were more harmful than useful. (Patches which add working and well-tested packaging are welcome.)

* | softvol, ao_pulse: prefer ao_pulse volume control by defaultwm42012-09-231-3/+13
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --softvol is enabled by default. For most audio outputs, this is a good thing, as they have either their own (bad) soft volume implementation, or control the system mixer. With ao_pulse, the situation is a bit different: it supports per-application volume (i.e. volume control is not really global). More importantly, ao_pulse uses a rather large audio buffer, and changing the volume with mplayer's volume filter has a large delay. With the native ao_pulse volume control, it's instant, because PulseAudio's audio filtering happens at a later stage in its processing pipeline (inaccessible for mplayer). This means native volume control should really be allowed for ao_pulse, while it's the reverse for other audio outputs. Make --softvol a choice option, and add a new "auto" choice. This is default and will use PA's volume control with ao_pulse, and mplayer's volume filter otherwise (i.e. the old softvol behavior).
* options: change --vid, --aid, --sid optionswm42012-09-181-20/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | The --vid, --aid, --sid options now accept the values 'off' and 'auto', instead of having the user deal with the numeric values -2 and -1. The numeric values are not allowed anymore. Remove the --audio option. It was probably meant as compensation option for --no-audio. There are no such options for sub/video, and it was not documented, so just remove it. The replacement is "--aid=auto". Also do some updates to the manpage.
* options: change --loop option, and extend choice option typewm42012-09-181-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The --loop option takes slightly different parameters now. --loop=0 used to mean looping forever. Now it means looping is disabled (this is more logical: 2 means playing 2 more times, 1 means playing 1 more time, and 0 should mean playing not again). Now --loop=inf must be used to enable looping forever. Extend choice types to allow an optional range of integers as values. If CONF_RANGE is added to the flags of a m_option_type_choice option, m_option.min/max specify a range of allowed integer values. This can be used to remove "special" values from make integer range options. These special values are unintuitive, and sometimes expose mplayer internals to the user. The (internal) choice values can be freely mixed with the specified integer value range. If there are overlaps, the choice values are preferred for conversion to/from strings. Also make sure the extension to choice options works with properties. Add the ability to step choice properties downwards, instead of just upwards.
* options: remove -subalignwm42012-09-181-8/+0
| | | | | | It can't be re-implemented, because this isn't supported by libass. The -subalign option and the associated sub-align slave property did nothing. Remove them.
* rawaudio: use mplayer audio format for format optionwm42012-09-181-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rawaudio demuxer had a rather hard to use way to set the audio format with the --rawaudio=format=value option. The user had to pass a numeric value, which then was set as wFormatTag member in the WAVEFORMATEX header. Make it use the mplayer audio format (the same as --af=format=value). Add a new internal pseudo audio codec tag, which is hopefully unused, which makes ad_pcm use the value in wFormatTag as internal mplayer audio format. Playing non-PCM formats is disabled. (At least AC3 can be played directly.)

* core: intentionally cripple slave modewm42012-08-151-10/+15
| | | | | | | | | | Rename -slave to -slave-broken to prevent slave mode applications from working. Do this to prevent horrible user experiences, in case someone should attempt to try this version of mplayer with smplayer and others. This also makes it clear that we don't intend to keep slave mode compatibility, because the slave mode protocol is horrible and bad. See the changes in options.rst for further reasons and comments.
* image_writer: rename "filetype" option to "format"wm42012-08-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | Although slightly less precise, this sounds less clunky. This change also causes the --screenshot-filetype option to be renamed to --screenshot-format.
* Remove teletext supportwm42012-08-031-22/+0
| | | | | | | | Teletext requires special OSD support. Because I can't even test teletext, I can't restore support for it. Since teletext can be considered ancient and obscure, and since it doesn't make sense to keep the remaining teletext code without being able to use it, I'm removing it.
* mplayer: rip out --capture supportwm42012-08-021-14/+0
| | | | | | | While this was an interesting idea, it wasn't actually useful. Basically it dumped the raw data (as requested by the demuxer) into a file. The result is only useful if the file format was raw or maybe some MPEG packet stream, but not with most modern file formats.
* VO: remove VO direct renderingwm42012-08-021-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was disabled by default, and could be enabled with -dr. It was disabled by default because it was buggy: there were issues with OSD corruption. It wasn't entirely sane for OpenGL based VOs either. OpenGL can chose to drop mapped pixel buffer objects, requiring the application to map and fill the buffer again. But there was no mechanism in mplayer to fill the lost buffer again. (It seems this rarely happened in practice, though.) On the other side, users liked the --dr flag, because it promised them more speed. I'm not sure if it actually helped with speed, but it's unlikely it had any real advantages on modern systems. In order to evade the --dr cargo culting in mplayer config files, it's best to get rid of it.
