* wayland: expose wayland-app-id as a user optionDudemanguy2020-08-141-0/+4
| | | | | This is extremely similar to x11's WM_CLASS. This commit allows users to set mpv's app-id at runtime for any of the wayland backends.
* manpage: document a couple of wayland optionsDudemanguy2020-08-121-0/+9
| | | | | --wayland-edge-pixels-pointer and --wayland-edge-pixels-touch were both left out of the manual.
* DOCS/contribute.md: add a CCoCwm42020-08-121-1/+4
| | | | | | | (The recommendation is to add the document to the project git root, but I'm against dumping such things into git. I'd rather replace the Copyright full text files with links and move contribute.md to the wiki than add the CCoC text as a file.)
* sub: extend range of --sub-pos optionwm42020-08-121-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | Seems like this is requested all the time. It seems libass allows out of range values, but does allows the subtitle to go out of the screen at the bottom (only when moving it to the top it's "clamped"). Too bad, don't do that then. The bitmap sub rendering code on the other hand is under our control, and will not move a subtitle out of the screen. Fixes: #7986
* command: add a way to access properties of a current trackwm42020-08-121-0/+20
| | | | | | Requested. Should be good for simple use cases. "sub2" is technically inconsistent (since the option is called --secondary-sid), but fuck the consistent name.
* auto_profiles: unapply conditional profiles if declaredwm42020-08-071-15/+27
| | | | | | Uses the mechanism introduced in the previous commit. The hope was to make auto-profiles easier to use, and to get rid of the need for manually created inverse profiles. Not sure if the end result is useful.
* options: add some way to more or less "unapply" profileswm42020-08-072-3/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make it possible to restore from profiles by backing up the option values before profile application. This is sort of like unapplying a profile. Since there might be multiple ways to do this, a profile needs to explicitly provide the "profile-restore" option, which specifies how exactly this should be done. This is a big mess. There is not natural way to do this. Profile application is "destructive" and simply changes the values of the options. Maybe one could argue that the option system should have hierarchical "overlays" of profiles instead, where unset options will use the value of the lower profiles. Options set interactively by the user would be the top profile. Default values would be in the lowest profile. You could unapply a profile by simply removing it from this overlay stack. But uh, let's not, so here's something stupid. It reuses some code used for file local options to reduce code size. At least the overlay idea would still be possible in theory, and could be added as another profile-restore mode. This is used by the following commit.
* js: hooks: allow deferred continuation (match d0ab562b)Avi Halachmi (:avih)2020-08-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The callback now gets an object argument with defer/cont functions. Like the lua code, the behavior is that each hook event allows at most one continue, but nothing enforces the order of continuations if more hook events arrive before prior ones were continued - which is possible now with the defer option, but wasn't possible before (continuation was synchronous from the hook event handler).
* lua: make hook processing more flexiblewm42020-08-051-2/+16
| | | | | | | This can now opt to not continue a hook after the hook callback returns. This makes it easier for scripts, and may make it unnecessary to run reentrant event loops etc. for scripts that want to wait before continuing while still running the event loop.
* auto_profiles: add this scriptwm42020-08-053-5/+133
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is taken from a somewhat older proof-of-concept script. The basic idea, and most of the implementation, is still the same. The way the profiles are actually defined changed. I still feel bad about this being a Lua script, and running user expressions as Lua code in a vaguely defined environment, but I guess as far as balance of effort/maintenance/results goes, this is fine. It's a bit bloated (the Lua scripting state is at least 150KB or so in total), so in order to enable this by default, I decided it should unload itself by default if no auto-profiles are used. (And currently, it does not actually rescan the profile list if a new config file is loaded some time later, so the script would do nothing anyway if no auto profiles were defined.) This still requires defining inverse profiles for "unapplying" a profile. Also this is still somewhat racy. Both will probably be alleviated to some degree in the future.
* manpage: clarify requirements for boxvideoDudemanguy2020-08-041-1/+2
| | | | The osc must not auto-hide for this option to do anything.
* audio: add scaletempo2 filter based on chromiumDorian Rudolph2020-07-271-0/+22
| | | | | | | | scaletempo2 is a new audio filter for playing back audio at modified speed and is based on chromium commit 51ed77e3f37a9a9b80d6d0a8259e84a8ca635259. It sounds subjectively better than the existing implementions scaletempo and rubberband.
* js: add mp.utils.get_env_list() (match 0e7f53a5, 9301cb78)Avi Halachmi (:avih)2020-07-261-0/+2
|
* manpage: drop --sdl-bufcnt after 346c687d5ab2Jan Beich2020-07-211-4/+0
|
* manpage: add named arguments "subprocess" examplewm42020-07-201-5/+21
| | | | At the same time, this is an example for a command with named arguments.
* command: add another variant of revert-seekwm42020-07-201-0/+6
| | | | | | | Requested. See manpage additions. Not sure if it actually deserves to be a first class feature, rather than an external script or so. Fixes: #7913
* lua: add mp.get_env_list() functionwm42020-07-202-0/+7
| | | | | Because Lua is too stupid to provide this directly, and I sort of need it.
* command: extend subprocess commandwm42020-07-201-1/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add env and detach arguments. This means the command.c code must use the "new" mp_subprocess2(). So also take this as an opportunity to clean up. win32 support gets broken by it, because it never made the switch to the newer function. The new detach parameter makes the "run" command fully redundant, but I guess we'll keep it for simplicity. But change its implementation to use mp_subprocess2() (couldn't do this earlier, because win32). Privately, I'm going to use the "env" argument to add a key binding that starts a shell with a FILE environment variable set to the currently playing file, so this is very useful to me. Note: breaks windows, so for example youtube-dl on windows will not work anymore. mp_subprocess2() has to be implemented. The old functions are gone, and subprocess-win.c is not built anymore. It will probably work on Cygwin.
* zimg: add slice threading and use it by defaultwm42020-07-151-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This probably makes it much faster (I wouldn't know, I didn't run any benchmarks ). Seems to work as well (although I'm not sure, it's not like I'd perform rigorous tests). The scale_zimg test seems to mysteriously treat color in fully transparent alpha differently, which makes no sense, and isn't visible (but makes the test fail). I can't be bothered with investigating this more. What do you do with failing tests? Correct, you disable them. Or rather, you disable whatever appears to cause them to fail, which is the threading in this case. This change follows mostly the tile_example.cpp. The slice size uses a minimum of 64, which was suggested by the zimg author. Some of this commit is a bit inelegant and weird, such as recomputing the scale factor for every slice, or the way slice_h is managed. Too lazy to make this more elegant. zimg git had a regressio around active_region (which is needed by the slicing), which was fixed in commit 83071706b2e6bc634. Apparently, the bug was never released, so just add a warning to the manpage.
* x11: add option to make window appear on a specific workspacewm42020-07-121-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | Mess this into the --geometry option, because I like to be irresponsible. I considered adding a separate option, but at least this allows me to defer the question how the hell this should work as property (geometry simply and inherently does not). Tested on IceWM only. Option equality test and string output not tested.
* x11: remove terrible xdg-screensaver hackwm42020-07-082-1/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'm tired of dealing with this frequent spawning of xdg-screensaver when debugging and what not. xdg-screensaver was never a serious tool anyway, it's more like some self-deprecating joke by FDO folks. This will affect X11 on GNOME and other DEs. I'm singling out GNOME though, because they are the ones actively sabotaging any sane technical solutions and community cooperation. I have been accused of taking it out on innocent GNOME users, while none of this will reach GNOME developers. Of course that is not the intention.
* client API: add software rendering APIwm42020-07-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This can be used to make vo_libmpv render video to a memory buffer. It only adds a new backend API that takes memory surfaces. All the render API (such as frame rendering control and so on) is reused. I'm not quite convinced of the usefulness of this, and until now I always resisted providing something like this. It only seems to facilitate inefficient implementation. But whatever. Unfortunately, this duplicates the software rendering glue code yet again (like it exists in vo_x11, vo_wlshm, vo_drm, and probably more). But in theory, these could reuse this backend in the future, just like vo_gpu could reuse the render_gl API. Fixes: #7852
* vo_gpu: vulkan: add ability to disable eventsNiklas Haas2020-06-301-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | libplacebo exposes this feature already, because this particular type of bug is unusually common in practice. Simply make use of it, by exposing it as an option. Could probably also bump the libplacebo minimum version to get rid of the #if, but that would break debian oldoldstable or something. Fixes #7867.
* path: do not use old_home for win32 exe dirwm42020-06-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Apparently mpv supports loading config files from the same directory as the mpv.exe. This is a fallback of some sort. It used the old_home mechanism. I want to add a warning if old_home exists, but that would always show the warning on win32. Obviously we don't want that. Add a separate exe_dir entry to deal with that. Untested, but probably works.
* path: switch back to using non-XDG config dir by defaultwm42020-06-251-23/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XDG is stupid, so change back to the standard behavior. Unfortunately, most users will now have the XDG one, so we will still need to load this. (This is exactly the same problem as when XDG support was introduced, just the other way around). This should not affect any normal users. Hopefully I tested this well enough; my intention is not to torment miserable XDG fans; they can keep using their config dir if they want it. This changes behavior in two cases: - new users (now creates ~/.mpv/ instead of ~/.config/mpv/) - users which have both directories The latter case will behave subtly or obviously different, not sure. Just fix your shit. Extend the manpage with all the messy details, as far as I could reverse engineer them from the code.
* manpage: --demuxer-seekable-cache is uselesswm42020-06-231-19/+18
| | | | | | | | | De-emphasize it, since a user should usually not use it. This _could_ be used to make the cache seekable with --cache=no, but it's better and more intuitive to use --cache=yes. As such, the only use of this is for debugging. I'm not quite sure if this should be removed entirely, but I still see some value in it (for example if you want the cache lookahead, but you're using a stream where cache seeking is somehow broken).
* vo_gpu: add better gamut clipping optionNiklas Haas2020-06-191-0/+7
| | | | | | See https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libplacebo/-/commit/d63eeb1ecc204 Enabled by default because I think it looks better. YMMV.
* vo_gpu: add BT.2390 tone-mappingNiklas Haas2020-06-151-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | Implementation copy/pasted from: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libplacebo/-/commit/f793fc0480f This brings mpv's tone mapping more in line with industry standard practices, for a hopefully more consistent result across the board. Note that we ignore the black point adjustment of the tone mapping entirely. In theory we could revisit this, if we ever make black point compensation part of the mpv rendering pipeline.
* vo_gpu: reinterpret SDR white levels based on ITU-R BT.2408Niklas Haas2020-06-151-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | This standard says we should use a value of 203 nits instead of 100 for mapping between SDR and HDR. Code copied from https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libplacebo/-/commit/9d9164773 In particular, that commit also includes a test case to make sure the implementation doesn't break roundtrips. Relevant to #4248 and #7357.
* options: add --video-scale-x/ywm42020-06-031-0/+9
| | | | | | Requested. Fixes: #6303
* audio: redo internal AO APIwm42020-06-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This affects "pull" AOs only: ao_alsa, ao_pulse, ao_openal, ao_pcm, ao_lavc. There are changes to the other AOs too, but that's only about renaming ao_driver.resume to ao_driver.start. ao_openal is broken because I didn't manage to fix it, so it exits with an error message. If you want it, why don't _you_ put effort into it? I see no reason to waste my own precious lifetime over this (I realize the irony). ao_alsa loses the poll() mechanism, but it was mostly broken and didn't really do what it was supposed to. There doesn't seem to be anything in the ALSA API to watch the playback status without polling (unless you want to use raw UNIX signals). No idea if ao_pulse is correct, or whether it's subtly broken now. There is no documentation, so I can't tell what is correct, without reverse engineering the whole project. I recommend using ALSA. This was supposed to be just a simple fix, but somehow it expanded scope like a train wreck. Very high chance of regressions, but probably only for the AOs listed above. The rest you can figure out from reading the diff.
* player: add --term-title optionwm42020-05-251-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This simply printf()s a concatenation of the provided string and the relevant escape sequences. No idea what exactly defines this escape sequence (is it just a xterm thing that is now supported relatively widely?), and this simply uses information provided on the linked github issue. Not much of an advantage over --term-status-msg, though at least this can have a lower update frequency. Also I may consider setting a default value, and then it shouldn't conflict with the status message. Fixes: #1725
* manpage: document "vf remove"wm42020-05-231-1/+4
| | | | And mention it on "vf del" as non-deprecated alternative.
* player: remove some display-adrop leftoverswm42020-05-232-7/+3
| | | | | Forgotten in one of the previous commits. Also undeprecates display-adrop since it's out of sight now.
* audio: redo video-sync=display-adropwm42020-05-232-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This mode drops or repeats audio data to adapt to video speed, instead of resampling it or such. It was added to deal with SPDIF. The implementation was part of fill_audio_out_buffers() - the entire function is something whose complexity exploded in my face, and which I want to clean up, and this is hopefully a first step. Put it in a filter, and mess with the shitty glue code. It's all sort of roundabout and illogical, but that can be rectified later. The important part is that it works much like the resample or scaletempo filters. For PCM audio, this does not work on samples anymore. This makes it much worse. But for PCM you can use saner mechanisms that sound better. Also, something about PTS tracking is wrong. But not wasting more time on this.
* options: add option to control display-sync factorwm42020-05-231-0/+11
| | | | | | | | Can be useful to force it to adapt to extreme speed changes, while a higher limit would just use a fraction closer to the original video speed. Probably useful for testing only.
* video: clean up some imgfmt related stuffwm42020-05-182-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the vaguely defined plane_bits and component_bits fields from struct mp_imgfmt_desc. Add weird replacements for existing uses. Remove the bytes[] field, replace uses with bpp[]. Fix some potential alignment issues in existing code. As a compromise, split mp_image_pixel_ptr() into 2 functions, because I think it's a bad idea to implicitly round, but for some callers being slightly less strict is convenient. This shouldn't really change anything. In fact, it's a 100% useless change. I'm just cleaning up what I started almost 8 years ago (see commit 00653a3eb052). With this I've decided to keep mp_imgfmt_desc, just removing the weird parts, and keeping the saner parts.
* stats: UP/DOWN scrolling on page 2 (frame stats)Julian2020-05-171-1/+1
| | | | | | Code contributed by @avih with only minor modifications to comments by me. Fixes #7727.
* scripting: make socket FD number for subprocesses dynamicwm42020-05-151-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this, we pretty much guaranteed that --mpv-ipc-fd=3 would be passed. The FD was hardcoded, so scripts started by this mechanism didn't need to actually parse the argument. Change this to using a mostly random FD number instead. I decided to do this because posix_spawnp() and the current replacement cannot "guarantee" a FD layout. posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2() just runs dup2() calls, so it may be hard to set FD 3/4 if they are already used by something else. For example imagine trying to map: {.fd = 3, .src_fd = 4}, {.fd = 4, .src_fd = 3}, Then it'd do dup2(4, 3), dup2(3, 4) (reminder: dup2(src, dst)), and the end result is that FD 4 really maps to the original FD 4. While this was not a problem in the present code, it's too messy that I don't want to pretend it can always done this way without an unholy mess. So my assumption is that FDs 0-2 can be freely assigned because they're never closed (probably...), while for all other FDs only pass-through is reasonable.
* command: add input-key-list propertywm42020-05-141-0/+3
| | | | Fixes: #7698
* command: add property to return text subtitles in ASSwm42020-05-141-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | See manpage additions. This was requested, sort of. Although what has been requested might be something completely different. So this is speculative. This also changes sub_get_text() to return an allocated copy, because the buffer shit was too damn messy.
* ipc: make --input-ipc-client terminate player on connection closewm42020-05-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | As discussed in the referenced issue. This is quite a behavior change, bit since this option is new, and not included in any releases yet, I think it's OK. Fixes: #7648
* vo_direct3d: rip out texture video rendering pathwm42020-05-132-25/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This isn't useful anymore. We have a much better d3d11 renderer in vo_gpu. D3D11 is available in all supported Windows versions. The StretchRect path might still be useful for someone (???), and leaving it at least evades conflict about users who want to keep using this VO for inexplicable reasons. (Low power usage might be a justified reason, but still, no.) Also fuck the win32 platform, it's a heap of stinky shit. Microsoft is some sort of psycho clown software company. Granted, maybe still better than much of the rest of Silly Con Valley.
* player: make external subtitle auto-loading stricterwm42020-05-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By default --sub-auto uses "exact". This was far from an "exact" match, because it added anything that started with the video filename (without extension), and seemed to end in something that looked like a language code. Make this stricter. "exact" still tolerate a language code, but the video's filename must come before it without any unknown extra characters. This may not load subtitles in some situations where it previously did, and where the user might think that the naming convention is such that it should be considered an exact match. The subtitle priority sorting seems a bit worthless. I suppose it may have some value in higher "fuzz" modes (like --sub-auto=fuzzy). Also remove the mysterious "prio += prio;" line. I probably shouldn't have checked, but it goes back to commit f16fa9d31 (2003), where someone wanted to "refine" the priority without changing the rest of the code or something. Mostly untested, so have fun. Fixes: #7702
* w32_common: Support HiDPI on WindowsRealDolos2020-05-081-2/+2
|
* options: don't trigger bool "compact" path for --loop-filewm42020-05-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | In theory an incompatible change, but I think it's for the better. Impact should be relatively low. I hope. Fixes: #7676
* documentation: fix some ReST syntax mistakes in lua.rstEmanuele Torre2020-05-011-1/+1
|
* DOCS/contribute.md: add some blabla about fixup commits in pull requestswm42020-05-011-0/+16
| | | | | | | I have to say this in PR reviews all the time, so maybe I should make i explicit. In too many words of course, many, many, too many words which nobody will read, I get it, now shut up. Sneak in some subtle or not so subtle comments about how I think that github is ruining code quality.
* video: add alpha type metadatawm42020-04-241-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | This is mostly for testing. It adds passing through the metadata through the video chain. The metadata can be manipulated with vf_format. Support for zimg alpha conversion (if built with zimg after it gained alpha support) is implemented. Support premultiplied input in vo_gpu. Some things still seem to be buggy.
* manpage: fix wrong option name for --fbo-formatwm42020-04-141-1/+1
| | | | Fixes: #7609
* player: do not fall back to a default track with explicit selectionswm42020-04-131-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Consider e.g. --aid=2 with a file that has only 1 track. Then it would fall back to selecting track 1. Stop doing this. If no matching track is found, this will not select any track now. Note that the fingerprint stuff (track_layout_hash in the source) prevents softens the impact of this change. Without the fingerprint, playing a dual-audio file with the second track selected, and then a single-audio file, would play the second file without audio. But the fingerprint resets it due to differences in the track list. Try to exhaustively document this and tricky interactions between the other features. What a damn mess, I think it's simply cursed. Of course it's still my fault. See: #7608
