* player: add --screen-name and --fs-screen-nameDudemanguy2020-12-061-0/+2
| | | | | | Simple groundwork for adding a couple of user options that allow selecting the screen with a string name. The next two commits implements these options for xorg and wayland.
* Revert "options: disable vsfilter blur compat by default"rcombs2020-11-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 3d17e19c2c5ca80f916411e7e61126cac8443baa. The effect of turning off this setting is that mpv doesn't tell libass what the video stream's resolution is. This happens to result in some files having their transforms scaled in ways that give higher performance (as described in #7435) because libass happened to guess a video resolution that resulted in transforms yielding smaller bitmaps, but it's just as easy for the opposite to happen depending on the resolutions and effects involved. The option's name is also somewhat misleading: setting the storage size affects blur, but it also affects stroke (which is far more important for the vast majority of scripts) and 3D transforms (which look very screwy when done wrong).
* screenshot: add --screenshot-sw optionwm42020-10-051-0/+1
| | | | | Probably worthless. As usual, the manpage dumps all the subtle differences due to implementation details on the user.

* player: add automatic loading of external cover art fileswm42020-09-281-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Picks up files like "cover.jpg". It's made part of normal external file loading, so I'm adding 3 new options that are direct equivalents for the options that control loading of external subtitle and audio files. Even though I bet nobody wants them and they just increase confusion... I guess the world is actually hell, so this outcome should be fine. It prefers non-specific external files like "cover.jpg" over embedded cover art. Not sure if that's wanted or unwanted. There's some pain over explicitly marking such files as external pictures. This is basically an optimization: in most cases, a heuristic would treat an image file loaded with --external-file the same (it's a heuristic because ffmpeg can't tell us whether something is an image or a video). However, even with this heuristic, it would decode the cover art picture again on each seek, which would essentially slow down seeking in audio files. This bothered me greatly, which is why I'm adding these additional options at all, and bothered with the previous commit. Fixes: #3056
* mac: add an option to prevent focusing of the window on opender richter2020-09-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | on macOS 10.15 setting the activation policy behaves quite weirdly. the call changes the current active App to a nameless process, which probably also the reason that prevents the not focusing to work. a workaround for that, is to refocus the previous active app. Fixes #7725
* mac: add ontop window level for desktopder richter2020-09-201-2/+2
| | | | | | this puts the window ontop of the desktop but behind the desktop icons. Fixes #7791

* player: add --subs-with-matching-audio optionrcombs2020-08-191-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | This allows users to control whether full dialogue subtitles are displayed with an audio track already in their preferred subtitle language. Additionally, this improves handling for the forced flag, automatically selecting between forced and unforced subtitle streams based on the user's settings and the selected audio.
* wayland: expose wayland-app-id as a user optionDudemanguy2020-08-141-0/+1
| | | | | 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.
* sub: extend range of --sub-pos optionwm42020-08-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* sd_ass: force full reinit if certain options change at runtimewm42020-08-121-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Options like --sub-ass-force-style and others could not be changed at runtime (the changes didn't take any effect). Fix this by using the brutal approach, and completely reinit the subtitle state when this happens. Maybe a bit clunky, but for now I'd rather not put more effort into this. Fixes: #7689
* auto_profiles: add this scriptwm42020-08-051-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* options: add --video-scale-x/ywm42020-06-031-0/+4
| | | | | | Requested. Fixes: #6303
* player: add --term-title optionwm42020-05-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* player: remove some display-adrop leftoverswm42020-05-231-3/+0
| | | | | Forgotten in one of the previous commits. Also undeprecates display-adrop since it's out of sight now.
* options: add option to control display-sync factorwm42020-05-231-0/+2
| | | | | | | | 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.
* options: update OSD when writing some OSD-related optionswm42020-05-091-9/+9
| | | | | | Just the usual change notification mess. Fixes: #7697
* options: don't trigger bool "compact" path for --loop-filewm42020-05-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | In theory an incompatible change, but I think it's for the better. Impact should be relatively low. I hope. Fixes: #7676
* player: slightly improve use of secondary track selection limitswm42020-04-151-0/+1
| | | | | | Apparently, this was a bit of a mess, which caused the bug fixed by commit ec7f2388af2df. Try to improve this, and only use track selection entries that exist.
* options: fix ab-loop-* propertieswm42020-04-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | These used ".min = MP_NOPTS_VALUE" to indicate certain exceptions. This broke with the recent change to how min/max are handled, which made setting min or max mean that a value range is used, thus setting max=0. Fix this by not using magic a value in .min; replace it with a proper flag. Fixes: #7596
* ipc: add --input-ipc-client optionwm42020-04-091-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | While --input-file was removed for justified reasons, wanting to pass down socket FDs this way is legitimate, useful, and easy to implement. One odd thing is that Fixes: #7592
* input: remove deprecated --input-file optionwm42020-03-281-2/+0
| | | | | This was deprecated 2 releases ago. The deprecation changelog entry says that there are no plans to remove it short-term, but I guess I lied.
* options: change option macros and all option declarationswm42020-03-181-539/+552
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change all OPT_* macros such that they don't define the entire m_option initializer, and instead expand only to a part of it, which sets certain fields. This requires changing almost every option declaration, because they all use these macros. A declaration now always starts with {"name", ... followed by designated initializers only (possibly wrapped in macros). The OPT_* macros now initialize the .offset and .type fields only, sometimes also .priv and others. I think this change makes the option macros less tricky. The old code had to stuff everything into macro arguments (and attempted to allow setting arbitrary fields by letting the user pass designated initializers in the vararg parts). Some of this was made messy due to C99 and C11 not allowing 0-sized varargs with ',' removal. It's also possible that this change is pointless, other than cosmetic preferences. Not too happy about some things. For example, the OPT_CHOICE() indentation I applied looks a bit ugly. Much of this change was done with regex search&replace, but some places required manual editing. In particular, code in "obscure" areas (which I didn't include in compilation) might be broken now. In wayland_common.c the author of some option declarations confused the flags parameter with the default value (though the default value was also properly set below). I fixed this with this change.
* options: introduce bool option type, use it for --fullscreenwm42020-03-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The option code is very old and was added to MPlayer in the early 2000s, when C99 was still new. MPlayer did not use the "bool" type anywhere,l and the logical option equivalent to bool, the "flag" option type, used int, with the convention that only the values 0 and 1 are allowed. mpv may have hammered many, many additional tentacles to the option code, but some of the basics never changed, and m_option_type_flag still uses int. This seems a bit weird, since mpv uses bool for booleans. So finally introduce an m_option_type_bool. To avoid duplicating too much code, change the flag code to bool, and "reimplement" m_option_type_flag on top of m_option_type_bool. As a "demonstration", change the --fullscreen option to this new type. Ideally, all options would be changed too bool, and m_option_type_flag would be removed. But that is a lot of monotonous thankless work, so I'm not doing it, and making it a painful years long transition. At the same time, I'm introducing a new concept for option declarations. Instead of OPT_BOOL(), which define the full m_option struct contents, there's OPTF_BOOL(), which only takes the option field name itself. The name is provided via a normal struct field initializer. Other fields (such as flags) can be provided via designated initializers. The advantage of this is that we don't need tons of nested vararg macros. We also don't need to deal with 0-sized varargs being a pain (and in fact they are not a thing in standard C99 and probably C11). There is no need to provide a mandatory flags argument either, which is the reason why so many OPT_ macros are used with a "0" argument. (The flag argument seems to confuse other developers; they either don't immediately recognize what it is, and sometimes it's supposed to be the option's default value.) Not having to mess with the flag argument in such option macros is also a reason for the removal of M_OPT_RANGE etc., for the better or worse. The only place that special-cased the _flag option type was in command.c; change it to use something effectively very similar that automatically includes the new _bool option type. Everything else should be transparent to the change. The fullscreen option change should be transparent too, as C99 bool is basically an integer type that is clamped to 0/1 (except in Swift, Swift sucks).
* options: change how option range min/max is handledwm42020-03-131-12/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this commit, option declarations used M_OPT_MIN/M_OPT_MAX (and some other identifiers based on these) to signal whether an option had min/max values. Remove these flags, and make it use a range implicitly on the condition if min<max is true. This requires care in all cases when only M_OPT_MIN or M_OPT_MAX were set (instead of both). Generally, the commit replaces all these instances with using DBL_MAX/DBL_MIN for the "unset" part of the range. This also happens to fix some cases where you could pass over-large values to integer options, which were silently truncated, but now cause an error. This commit has some higher potential for regressions.
* options: remove min/max support from strings and string listswm42020-03-131-2/+1
| | | | | We don't really use this anymore. Only --playlist and vf_lavfi filter names did (to error on empty parameters), but it doesn't really matter.
* options: make decoder options local to decoder wrapperwm42020-03-011-27/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of having f_decoder_wrapper create its own copy of the entire mpv option tree, create a struct local to that file and move all used options to there. movie_aspect is used by the "video-aspect" deprecated property code. I think it's probably better not to remove the property yet, but fortunately it's easy to work around without needing special handling for this option or so. correct_pts is used to prevent use of hr-seek in playloop.c. Ignore that, if you use --no-correct-pts you're asking for trouble anyway. This is the only behavior change.
* player: add optional separate video decoding threadwm42020-02-291-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | See manpage additions. This has been a topic in MPlayer/mplayer2/mpv since forever. But since libavcodec multi-threaded decoding was added, I've always considered this pointless. libavcodec requires you to "preload" it with packets, and then you can pretty much avoid blocking on it, if decoding is fast enough. But in some cases, a decoupled decoder thread _might_ help. Users have for example come up with cases where decoding video in a separate process and piping it as raw video to mpv helped. (Or my memory is false, and it was about vapoursynth filtering, who knows.) So let's just see whether this helps with anything. Note that this would have been _much_ easier if libavcodec had an asynchronous (or rather, non-blocking) API. It could probably have easily gained that with a small change to its multi-threading code and a small extension to its API, but I guess not. Unfortunately, this uglifies f_decoder_wrapper quite a lot. Part of this is due to annoying corner cases like legacy frame dropping and hardware decoder state. These could probably be prettified later on. There is also a change in playloop.c: this is because there is a need to coordinate playback resets between demuxer thread, decoder thread, and playback logic. I think this SEEK_BLOCK idea worked out reasonably well. There are still a number of problems. For example, if the demuxer cache is full, the decoder thread will simply block hard until the output queue is full, which interferes with seeking. Could also be improved later. Hardware decoding will probably die in a fire, because it will run out of surfaces quickly. We could reduce the queue to size 1... maybe later. We could update the queue options at runtime easily, but currently I'm not going to bother. I could only have put the lavc wrapper itself on a separate thread. But there is some annoying interaction with EDL and backward playback shit, and also you would have had to loop demuxer packets through the playloop, so this sounded less annoying. The food my mother made for us today was delicious. Because audio uses the same code, also for audio (even if completely pointless). Fixes: #6926
* player: dumb seeking related stuff, make audio hr-seek defaultwm42020-02-281-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Try to deal with various corner cases. But when I fix one thing, another thing breaks. (And it's 50/50 whether I find the breakage immediately or a few months later.) So results may vary. The default for--hr-seek is changed to "default" (not creative enough to find a better name). In this mode, audio seeking is exact if there is no video, or if the video has only a single frame. This change is actually pretty dumb, since audio frames are usually small enough that exact seeking does not really add much. But it gets rid of some weird special cases. Internally, the most important change is that is_coverart and is_sparse handling is merged. is_sparse was originally just a special case for weird .ts streams that have the corresponding low-level flag set. The idea is that they're pretty similar anyway, so this would reduce the number of corner cases. But I'm not sure if this doesn't break the original intended use case for it (I don't have a sample anyway). This changes last-frame handling, and respects the duration of the last frame only if audio is disabled. This is mostly "coincidental" due to the need to make seeking past EOF trigger player exit, and is caused by setting STATUS_EOF early. On the other hand, this might have been this way before (see removed chunk close to it).
* sub: add an option to filter subtitles by regexwm42020-02-161-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Works as ad-filter. I had some more plans, for example replacing matching text with different text, but for now it's dropping matches only. There's a big warning in the manpage that I might change semantics. For example, I might turn it into a primitive sed. In a sane world, you'd probably write a simple script that processes downloaded subtitles before giving them to mpv, and avoid all this complexity. But we don't live in a sane world, and the sooner you learn this, the happier you will be. (But I also want to run this on muxed subtitles.) This is pretty straightforward. We use POSIX regexes, which are readily available without additional pain or dependencies. This also means it's (apparently) not available on win32 (MinGW). The regex list is because I hate big monolithic regexes, and this makes it slightly better. Very superficially tested.
* sub: make filter_sdh a "proper" filter, allow runtime changeswm42020-02-161-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, filter_sdh was simply a function that was called by sd_ass directly (if enabled). I want to add another filter, so it's time to turn this into a somewhat more general subtitle filtering infrastructure. I pondered whether to reuse the audio/video filtering stuff - but better not. Also, since subtitles are horrible and tend to refuse proper abstraction, it's still messed into sd_ass, instead of working on the dec_sub.c level. Actually mpv used to have subtitle "filters" and even made subtitle converters part of it, but it was fairly horrible, so don't do that again. In addition, make runtime changes possible. Since this was supposed to be a quick hack, I just decided to put all subtitle filter options into a separate option group (=> simpler change notification), to manually push the change through the playloop (like it was sort of before for OSD options), and to recreate the sub filter chain completely in every change. Should be good enough. One strangeness is that due to prefetching and such, most subtitle packets (or those some time ahead) are actually done filtering when we change, so the user still needs to manually seek to actually refresh everything. And since subtitle data is usually cached in ASS_Track (for other terrible but user-friendly reasons), we also must clear the subtitle data, but of course only on seek, since otherwise all subtitles would just disappear. What a fucking mess, but such is life. We could trigger a "refresh seek" to make this more automatic, but I don't feel like it currently. This is slightly inefficient (lots of allocations and copying), but I decided that it doesn't matter. Could matter slightly for crazy ASS subtitles that render with thousands of events. Not very well tested. Still seems to work, but I didn't have many test cases.
* mac: always include the macOS config when cocoa is availableder richter2020-02-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | the macOS config was only used in cocoa-cb before and only included when it was available. since this config is meant for general macOS options and backend independent options we include it when cocoa is available. one of the options is already used in the old cocoa backend, which broke using it when build without swift or cocoa-cb support. Fixes #7449
* player: add ab-loop-count option/propertywm42020-02-081-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | As requested I guess. It behaves quite similar to the --loop* options. Not quite happy with the idea that 1) the option is mutated on each operation (but at least it's consistent with --loop* and doesn't require more properties), and 2) the ab-loop command will do nothing once all loop iterations are done. As a concession, the OSD shows something about "disabled". Fixes: #7360
* options: disable vsfilter blur compat by defaultwm42020-02-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | See #7435 and related for context. Basically, it seems that while the original vsfilter processed subtitles like with this option set to "yes", many current players (mpc-hc default, vlc, probably most libass users) treat them like with "no". In the linked issue, this makes rendering severely slower, and can consume a lot of memory (or just overflow libass memory calculations). It seems that changing this to "no" will lead to more good than bad, especially because newer subtitles may be authored for the "no" behavior. Most libass users seem to use "no" exactly because they do not call ass_set_storage_size() at all. This API was needed because the scaling of the subtitles depends on the video size (vsfilter bugs, or something). In addition, it's my personal opinion that rendering should not depend on the video at all, so I like setting the default of this to "no".
* Revert "options: move cursor autohiding opts to mp_vo_opts"dudemanguy2020-01-121-4/+4

* stream, demux: redo origin policy thingwm42019-12-201-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mpv has a very weak and very annoying policy that determines whether a playlist should be used or not. For example, if you play a remote playlist, you usually don't want it to be able to read local filesystem entries. (Although for a media player the impact is small I guess.) It's weak and annoying as in that it does not prevent certain cases which could be interpreted as bad in some cases, such as allowing playlists on the local filesystem to reference remote URLs. It probably barely makes sense, but we just want to exclude some other "definitely not a good idea" things, all while playlists generally just work, so whatever. The policy is: - from the command line anything is played - local playlists can reference anything except "unsafe" streams ("unsafe" means special stream inputs like libavfilter graphs) - remote playlists can reference only remote URLs - things like "memory://" and archives are "transparent" to this This commit does... something. It replaces the weird stream flags with a slightly clearer "origin" value, which is now consequently passed down and used everywhere. It fixes some deviations from the described policy. I wanted to force archives to reference only content within them, but this would probably have been more complicated (or required different abstractions), and I'm too lazy to figure it out, so archives are now "transparent" (playlists within archives behave the same outside). There may be a lot of bugs in this. This is unfortunately a very noisy commit because: - every stream open call now needs to pass the origin - so does every demuxer open call (=> params param. gets mandatory) - most stream were changed to provide the "origin" value - the origin value needed to be passed along in a lot of places - I was too lazy to split the commit Fixes: #7274
* command: slightly simplify input-ipc-server change detection/initwm42019-12-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | The generic change detection now handles this just as well. The way how this function is manually called at init is slightly gross. Make that part slightly more explicit to hopefully avoid confusion.
* console.lua: add this scriptJames Ross-Gowan2019-12-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
