Release 0.9.0 ============= Changes ------- Changes that may break users' config files have been annotated with a `(!)`. - Note: mpv is not compatible with Lua 5.3. Lua 5.1 or 5.2 is required. - The minimum required libass version is now 0.12.1 or newer. - The minimum required FFmpeg version is now 2.4.0 (equiv. Libav 11) or newer. - The internal libmpg123 support was removed. This was already not used by default in the previous release. - `(!)` The LIRC support was removed. Configure LIRC remotes as input devices instead. - `(!)` The Linux Joystick support was removed. - `(!)` `vf_screenshot` was removed, as they are now handled at a VO level and is compatible with all VOs. - `(!)` `--ass-use-margins` has been renamed to `--sub-use-margins` and applies only to plain-text (non-ASS) subtitles (enabled by default). The new `--ass-force-margins` option applies only to ASS subtitles (disabled by default). To get the old behaviour back, enable both at the same time. - `(!)` The `--sub-scale-with-window` option now only applies to plain text (non-ASS) subtitles (enabled by default). The new `--ass-scale-with-window` option does the same but only with ASS subtitles (disabled by default). - `(!)` The range for the `param1` for the `gaussian` `vo_opengl` scaler has been redefined. Instead of being an arbitrary 1-100 range, have a default value of 1.0, and anything higher is blurrier. - `(!)` The `seek`, `playlist_next, `playlist_prev`, `loadfile` and `loadlist` parameters no longer accept numerical parameters where symbolic parameter names exist. - `(!)` `vo_opengl` changes: - `(!)` The `smoothmotion` suboption has been renamed to `interpolation`. The old name is still supported for now. - `(!)` The `bilinear_slow` scaler has been renamed to `triangle`. - `(!)` `scale-down` has been renamed to `dscale` and now has its own set of config options (e.g. `dscale-radius`). - `(!)` Scaler radius no longer defaults to `3` but to a preferred value that may be different for each filter. - The `scale-radius` option may now go down as low as `0.5`, which is the value used by the `nearest` filter. - `spline36` is the new `cscale` default for `opengl-hq`. This might break setups that use `fbo-format=rgb8`. To work around it, leave `fbo-format` as its default, or set to something higher than 8, or set `cscale=bilinear`, the previous default. - `(!)` `vf_format` no longer converts video to YUYV if there is no parameter. Video is now passed unchanged unless a format is specifically requested. - `(!)` The `--colormatrix`, `--colormatrix-input-range`, `--colormatrix-output-range` and `--colormatrix-primaries` options have been converted into `vf_format` suboptions. See commit 27715b7 and the manual for details. - `vf_mirror`'s implementation was replaced with calling into `libavfilter`'s `vf_hflip` filter, thus depending on `libavfilter` to function. - The `device` subption to `ao_wasapi` has been deprecated in favor of `--audio-device`. - `--video-rotate` now allows 360 as an argument instead of stopping at 359. - Several improvements to `af_scaletempo`. - Options that have multiple options and also include a "yes" option now default to that if specified with no arguments. - The default value of `--cache-default` is now 150000 (153.6 MB, ~146 MiB). - JPEG screenshots now use the same subsampling as the source video. The images are still RGB regardless of source format though. Bug fixes --------- - mpv no longer saves position on files that can't be resumed (issue #1701). - (X11) Fix the player thinking the mouse has left the window in some WMs / embeddings (issue #1672). - mpv no longer freezes on wayland when the compositor stops asking it to draw itself (e.g. when minimized) (issue #249). - `.ac3` files are no longer rejected by `--audio-file-auto` (issue #1759). - `ao_wasapi` now automatically enables `exclusive` when passthrough is attempted (issue #1742). - Attempt to fix flickering on Intel VAAPI drivers with `--hwdec=vaapi` and `--vo=opengl` (issue #1765). - `youtube-dl` will no longer download video streams when video playback is disabled with `--no-video`. - (Windows) mpv now prevents system sleep when playing a video-only file. Previously, only files with an opened audio track would prevent sleep. New features ------------ - `vo_opengl` features: - Added `ewa_ginseng`, `ewa_hanning`, `robidoux`, `robidouxsharp`, `oversample` and `haasnsoft` scalers. - There are now `ewa_lanczossoft` and `ewa_lanczossharp` aliases to `ewa_lanczos` that are tuned to be blurrier and sharper, respectively. - Added `gamma-auto` option that uses ambient light sensors to automatically adjust the video gamma. See commit c028d78 for details. - Added `blend-subtitles` option to draw subtitles directly into the video instead of rendered afterwards. Potentially necessary for correct rendering with files that use ASS subtitles for typesetting in combination with an `icc-profile`. There is a default option for drawing after upscaling, and a `video` option for drawing before upscaling. See details and warning on the manual. - There is now a `tscale` option, used to choose the temporal scaler used in the `interpolation` mode (previously `smoothmotion`). - There is a new `scale-blur` parameter to adjust the amount of blur that most of the filters produce. Deviating from the default may introduce artifacts in EWA filters. - (Windows) There is now a `dwmflush` option that might help improve rendering of high-fps video. Disabled by default. See manual for options. - New Linux-only `vo_drm` video output driver. Uses the direct rendering / kernel modesetting drivers to draw directly to the framebuffer, but with no hardware acceleration. See manual for details. - New `pseudo-gui` builtin profile, automatically used when launched from `mpv.desktop` by opening `mpv.exe` on windows (`mpv.com` still works as usual), or by opening the `mpv.app` bundle. The `pseudo-gui` tries to make the player window behave closer to what a desktop player would do, by not immediately closing and allowing the user to drag&drop files for playback. See manual for details. - mpv can now play directories by automatically playing their contents instead. Works everywhere but on Windows, due to issues with Windows' C runtime. - Add support to pitch correct stretched audio with librubberband. - Add support for the Raspberry Pi 2's hardware decoder when FFmpeg (or Libav) is built with `--enable-mmal`. See commit 8fff125 for details. - The `--cache` option now accepts a "yes" option, that always enables a `--cache-default`-sized cache on all cases a cache can be used, unless `--cache-default` disables caching. - `ao_pulse`, `ao_coreaudio` and `ao_wasapi` now support device hotplugging. - New `--osd-align-x` and `--osd-align-y` options can be used to align the OSD independently from subtitles. - New `--osd-bold` and `--sub-text-bold` options can be enabled to bold all OSD or plain-text subtitle text, respectively. - Added a default keybind to the `u` key that enables/disables ASS style overriding. When enabled, is equivalent to `--ass-style-override=force`. - There is now a `MOUSE_ENTER` keybind, that is called when the mouse cursor enters the VO from outside. - The new `--ytdl-params` option can be set to arguments that are always given to `youtube-dl` invocations. There is no sanity checking, so invalid options can prevent `mpv` from working with http URLs. - There's a new `--demuxer-mkv-fix-timestamps` option, enabled by default, that tries to guess more accurate video timestamps by using FPS information, if available. See manual for details. - The new `--window-scale` option can be used to scale the video window by the specified multiplier, before other options such as `--autofit` are applied. - `vo_direct3d_shaders` now supports NV12 colorspace without using stretchrect, but it seems no drivers actually support that. - (Client API) Added a `rescan_external_files` command, as requested on issue #1586. - (Client API) If enabled, initializing the Client API will now also load the user's `mpv.conf`. - (Client API) There's a new `mpv_opengl_cb_report_flip()` call for API users to call to inform mpv of when exactly a frame was displayed. - (Client API) The `mpv_opengl_cb_render()` function was deprecated in favor of the new, simpler `mpv_opengl_cb_draw()` function. - (Client API) There is a new `screenshot_raw` command. See `input.rst` for details. - The `--input-file` argument may now also be a file descriptor in the form "fd://N", where N is the FD number. This listing is not complete. A complete changelog can be seen by running `git log v0.8.0..v0.9.0` in the git repository. Release 0.8.3 ============= Changes ------- - Documentation fixes and updates. - (Client API) Clarify `mpv_opengl_cb_render`'s viewport parameter behavior. Bug fixes --------- - (X11) Fix crash on `vo_xv:no-colorkey` with the Overlay adapter. (bug #1629) - (X11) `--stop-screensaver` is now implemented by calling into `xdg-screensaver`, fixing some compatibility issues that prevented it from actually stopping screensavers. - Make the video equalizer work correctly on some VAAPI drivers. (bug #1647) - Prevent OSD from disappearing when clicking on mozplugger. (bug #1672) - The new DVB-S2 support code, using S2API, now builds on FreeBSD. - Fix decoding of seekable matroska from unseekable network stream. (bug #1656) - (OSX) Fix crashing when closing a VO's window (usually at exit). (bug #1657) - (OSX) Unhide the mouse cursor when over the Dock or Launchpad. (bug #513) - (OSX) Fix mouse cursor autohiding when the player is fullscreen. - `vf_vavpp` (VAAPI postprocessing) now deinterlaces video correctly. - `smb://` streams now use the stream cache (used to be inefficient). - (Windows) Do not hide the mouse cursor when it is hovering the window menu. - Fix 8-channel output on `ao_jack`. (bug #1688) - Fix `--mf-fps` parameter on JPEG files. (bug #1689) - Fix anamorphic scaling being ignored if it was very minor. This listing is not complete. A complete changelog can be seen by running `git log v0.8.2..v0.8.3` in the git repository. Release 0.8.2 ============= Bug fixes --------- - Fix OSD placement accidentally messed up in 0.8.1. Release 0.8.1 ============= Changes ------- - DOCS/client-api-changes has been correctly updated for the v0.8.0 release series. - Quality and major perfomance improvements to smoothmotion. - Silence the "[ytdl_hook] WARNING: video doesn't have subtitles" warning. - Other documentation updates. Bug fixes --------- - Attempt to fix OpenGL shader compilation on Intel windows drivers. (bug #1536) - Attempt to improve the OpenGL shader's compatibility with GLES2. - (Windows) Fix noise when seeking while using wasapi:exclusive. (bug #1529) - Fix the waf-based build system when used with newer versions of waf with python3. - Documentation fixes. (includes bug #1608) New features ------------ - mpv now tries to load '.vtt' subtitles. This listing is not complete. A complete changelog can be seen by running `git log v0.8.0..v0.8.1` in the git repository. Release 0.8.0 ============= Changes ------- Changes that may break users' config files have been annotated with a `(!)`. - `(!)` vo_opengl_old has been removed. OpenGL rendering now requires hardware that can do at least OpenGL 2.1, the oldest version supported by vo_opengl. - `(!)` vf_pp has been removed. A version of it can still be accessed through lavfilter (e.g. --vf=lavfi=[pp...]), but it receives no QP information. Also, vf_dlopen no longer passes QP information to its loaded plugin either (it's always 0). - `(!)` vf_softpulldown, vf_swapuv, vf_phase, vf_divtc and vf_ilpack have all been removed. Ports or alternative versions of these filters are available through libavfilter (vf_lavfi). - vf_pullup and vf_noise now are simply wrappers to their libavfilter equivalents. Both are only currently available on FFmpeg (not Libav). - `(!)` ao_portaudio has been removed. There is good support for the native audio drivers of all major desktop platforms, as well as ao_sdl and ao_openal as fallbacks. - `(!)` vo_opengl's `lscale` suboption has been renamed to `scale`; `lradius` is now `scale-radius`, `lparam1` and `lparam2` are now respectively `scale-param1` and `scale-param2`; `lscale-down` is now `scale-down`. The `cscale` suboption remains as is. - `(!)` Several of the `vo_opengl` radius-preset aliases supported by `scale` have been removed; use `scale-radius` to set if needed. For example, use `--vo=opengl:scale=lanczos:scale-radius=2` instead of `scale=lanczos2`. The default radius is recommended for most filters. - `(!)` vo_opengl no longer supports the `stereo` suboption. The anaglyph effect can be reproduced with the stereo3d filter. The quadbuffer support, which requires expensive specialized hardware to begin with, is removed. - `(!)` The `approx-gamma` suboption to vo_opengl has been removed. The BT.1886 specification says that it's actually how it's supposed to be done so it is now the default when `srgb` or `icc-profile` are enabled. This does not include BT.1886's gamma drop. - `(!)` The `no-scale-sep` and `indirect` suboptions to vo_opengl have been removed. These are now autodetected and enabled whenever they would have benefit. - `(!)` The `--lua` and `--lua-opts` parameters / options are now called `--script` and `--script-opts`, respectively. The `lua` subdir of the mpv config dir is also now expected to be called `scripts` instead. - `(!)` The `--fixed-vo` option has been removed. It has been the default for a long time anyway, and disabling fixed-vo is not useful. - vo_opengl_hq has been updated to take into account new features. `fancy-downscaling` and `sigmoid-upscaling` are enabled, "mitchell" is now the default for `scale-down`. - The `sub-visibility` OSD message is now clearer about whether subtitles are hidden or just not available / selected. - The device IDs given to `--audio-device` for use with ao_coreaudio now use UIDs, so they don't change when devices are added/removed or after reboots. - `--msg-level` now also accepts ',' as separator. - (Client API) The client API now refuses to initialize if the LC_NUMERIC locale is not "C". - (Client API) The native type of the `msg-level` parameter is now a key-value list. Setting or reading it as a string still works. - (Slave API) The `get_property` command is now deprecated. - Documentation updates. - PDF documentation is now disabled by default due to rst2pdf being fickle, causing weird build errors. - Print desync messages with negative A/V sync as well. While rare, it could happen with some uses of `--autosync`. Bug fixes --------- - (Windows) Avoid resizing the video window when player is minimized, might address bug #1547. - (NetBSD) Fix build with v4l2. - (Linux) Attempt to address conflicts with the pulseaudio mixer. (bug #1578) - Multiple cdda:// fixes. (bugs #1555, #1560) - VP9 timestamps no longer cause "missing PTS" warnings with new enough FFmpeg builds. - Fix a crash when using H.264 hardware decoding on new enough libavcodecs. (bug #1587) New features ------------ - vo_opengl now supports frame blending to eliminate stuttering when the video framerate does not nicely match the display framerate through the `smoothmotion` suboption. This is not meant to artificially increase the video's FPS, so there is no "soap opera effect" or difficulties with some video types (e.g. anime). - vo_opengl now supports sigmoidal upscaling (e.g. for fullscreen), which reduces ringing induced by upscaling, enabled through the `sigmoid-upscaling` suboption. - vo_opengl now supports ewa_lanczos (Jinc) scaling, which provides higher quality with less aliasing. It supports an experimental `scale-antiringing` parameter, which tries to further reduce video ringing. - vo_opengl now has a `linear-scaling` suboption, that makes the scalers work in linear light. Implied by the `srgb`, `icc-profile` or the new `sigmoid-upscaling` suboption. - vo_opengl has improved downscaling for higher downscale ratios when `fancy-downscaling` is enabled. - Add `--keep-open=always` to make `--keep-open` apply to all files instead of only the last. - mpv now filters the tags that are printed on the console to try to hide useless metadata. The filter works as a whitelist, and can be configured with the `--display-tags` option. - Add a `--sub-scale-by-window` option that, when set to 'no', prevents subtitles from changing their pixel size when the window changes sizes. - vo_opengl now technically has GLES 2 and 3 support (but not GLES 1). GLES 3 support is only tested on Mesa's software emulation. GLES 2 has been tested on nvidia drivers. Both GLES modes are feature deficient and inefficient due to GLES limitations, so they should not be preferred over the standard OpenGL mode. - (X11) vo_opengl now supports the `icc-profile-auto` option on X11 hosts. - The 'A' key now by default cycles through a list of preset aspect ratios. Meant to be used to work around broken files. - There is now a "force" mode for `--loop`. Works like "inf", but tries to open files/streams even if there was an error on the previous attempt. - There is now a `--log-file` option to write mpv's log messages to a specifed file. - There is now a `--audio-file-auto` option to automatically load an external audio file with certain constraints. Will only load external audio if the playing file has a video stream. Set to "exact" by default. (bug #967) - There is now a `--network-timeout` option to specify a timeout in seconds for network access. If 0 (default), uses the libavformat default. If a protocol that doesn't support timeouts is used, this option is ignored. - (X11) The XF86 special keys are now all mappable in `input.conf`. All keys documented in `XF86keysym.h` are available, but only as their numeric codes. - (Linux) The DVB implementation now supports DVB-S2 through S2API. - (Linux) The VDR format for `channels.conf` is now supported and preferred. See http://linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Syntax_of_channels.conf for the syntax. Tuning to DVB-S2 channels requires the VDR-format `channels.conf`. - (Linux) There is now a `--dvbin-full-transponder` option for handling special broadcast cases where PIDs switch, or just to work around incomplete PID data. - (Client API) There is now an opengl_cb VO, which receives the OpenGL context from the libmpv client. This allows a client to render libmpv video directly to a provided OpenGL context without having to use --wid embedding. - (Client API) The aforementioned --wid parameter can now be set at any time, but has no effect if a file is already loaded. - (Client API) The list of DVD titles can now be queried. - (Client API) There is now a `filtered-metadata` property, containing only the tags allowed by `--display-tags`. - (Client API) There is now support for XEmbed `--wid` targets, such as a `GtkSocket`'s `gtk_socket_get_id()`. - (Client API) There is now a `file-format` property with a symbolic name for the file format. In some cases this might be a comma separated list of various different extensions due to libavformat idiosyncrasies. - (Client API) There is now a `mouse` command for generating mouse events over the video window. - (Client API) There is now a `partially-seekable` property that indicates whether a file is only considered `seekable` because of the stream cache, but would not be seekable otherwise (e.g. realtime stream, or HTTP with no resume support). Small relative seeks may be fine, but larger seeks will likely fail. - (Client API) There is now an MPV_EVENT_QUEUE_OVERFLOW event that is posted whenever events have to be dropped because the queue is full. No further events are posted until the MPV_EVENT_QUEUE_OVERFLOW is consumed to avoid duplicated posting. - (Client API) There is now a helper `mpv_wait_async_requests()` function that blocks until all known async requests have completed. (bug #1542) - (Client API) There is now a `detected-hwdec` property that returns the detected hardware decoder when one is successfully opened. This probably only returns a valid value after playback has started. - (Client API) There are now `audio_add`, `audio_remove` and `audio_reload` counterparts to the equivalent `sub_` commands for handling external audio files. This listing is not complete. A complete changelog can be seen by running `git log v0.7.0..v0.8.0` in the git repository. Release 0.7.3 ============= Changes ------- - Several documentation updates and typo fixes. - Don't show "0%" position when the stream is infinite / has unknown length. - Fixes the config file loading order so that lower priority `mpv.conf` files don't override higher priority `config` files. - (OSX) Remove coreaudio_exclusive from the "auto" codec list. - Failing to create a GL3 context is now a warning instead of error, to reduce user confusion. - The subtitle decoder now gets reset when cycling subtitles. This makes the currently shown subtitle event disappear even if cycling back to the current subtitle track. - `--shuffle` and `--merge-files` now affects the contents of playlist files, instead of just the list of files given as arguments to mpv. - `./waf install` avoids installing a few additional data/config files if only libmpv was built. - Improved channel mapping when the file's channel map doesn't match the AO's available channel maps. - (OSX) VDA now gracefully refuses to run on non-OpenGL3-capable systems instead of trying and failing to build its shaders. - Add workaround for vf_vapoursynth filters that expect an FPS. - The default value for `--screenshot-template` now shows up in `--list-options`. - `ao_pulse`'s `latency-hacks` suboption is now off by default, as it causes issues with newer pulseaudio releases. If A/V Sync issues happen, either add the `latency-hacks=on` pulse suboption in mpv.conf, or update the pulseaudio daemon (bug #1430). - (Linux) `ao_alsa` now deals better with audio device disconnection. - Client API: timestamp properties that have no value return "no" instead of magic number. Bug fixes --------- - (Windows, OSX) Many `ao_wasapi` and `ao_coreaudio` fixes. - (OSX) Make the window title update correctly on OS X Yosemite. - Fixes for handling mono audio on various AOs. - (Linux) Fixes resuming from suspend on ao_alsa. - Fixes for playlist file parsing. - Overly long options in the --list-options output now break the column layout instead of getting truncated; fixes shell completion scripts. - Fix rendering resolution of certain DVB subtitles (bug #1425). - Fix EDL or --merge-files breaking timestamps with .avi files. - Workaround for libavcodec bug with the VP9 codec parser (bug #1448), fixes possible crash. - Improve robustness of the matroska parser with broken files (bugs #1457, #1461). - Improve 10bit video compatibility with older GPUs (specially Intel) (bug #1383). - Fixes flashing the VO window when playing a list of files that includes non-media files (bug #1459). - Workaround for window embedding in OpenBox (bug #1235) - Fixes for several crashes and lockups (bugs #838, #1389, #1408, #1463, #1473, #1474). - Fixes for the zsh completion script (bugs #997) New features ------------ - mpv now prints the contents of its config.h when running in verbose mode, to aid with debugging. - The `include=` option now accepts `~` to refer to the HOME dir (bug #1406). - `af_volume` now prints ReplayGain values in verbose mode. - m3u playlists that don't have the `#EXTM3U` header are now accepted if they "look like" ASCII or UTF-8 text and have the .m3u extension. - Chapter marks in the seek bar now update when switching files. - Supports embedded cover art in MKV files (bug #1374). - (Windows) Video window can now be resized even with --no-border. - (Windows) Client API: the "run" command now works on Windows too. - (Linux) vo_wayland now supports key modifiers (Meta, Alt, Control, Shift) - Client API: "display-names" property is now observable. This listing is not complete. A complete changelog can be seen by running `git log v0.7.2..v0.7.3` in the git repository. Release 0.7.2 ============= Changes ------- - Give precedence to the DVD menu navigation keyboard bindings so that user defined LEFT/RIGHT/... bindings don't break DVD menu navigation. - Try to fallback to the "default" device if the selected device is busy in the alsa AO. - Don't create Dock icon for audio only files on OS X. - Save screenshots to desktop when using the app bundle on OS X. - Restore ab-loop settings with playback resume. - Bump required youtube-dl version to 2014.11.26 and enable the ytdl_hook Lua script by default (now playing videos from YouTube and the like will work out of the box without any configuration change needed). Bug fixes --------- - Don't signal an error if --stream-dump is used. - Fix removing key bindings from Lua scripts. - Reject channel descriptions with too many channels in the coreaudio AO. - Don't async redraw when waiting for VO redraw on OS X (this fixes the very annoying glitch where the black bars disappear for a single frame when going fullscreen). - Fix mono playback with the also AO. - Don't crash if framebuffers are not available in the opengl VO. New features ------------ - Try to handle multi-arc videos in the ytdl_hook Lua script. This listing is not complete. There are many more bug fixes and changes. The complete change log can be viewed by running ``git log 47ec404..c7d6b21`` in the git repository. Release 0.7.1 ============= Changes ------- - Don't show the volume neutral marker on the OSD if softvol is disabled. - Don't select a subtitle track when executing the sub_add input command in "auto" mode. Bug fixes --------- - Fix busy loop when seeking while paused (this fixes a problem with pulseaudio that caused mpv and the pulseaudio daemon to use 100% CPU). - Fix Lua function utils.subprocess() in Windows versions older than Vista. - Avoid creating a window bigger than the screen on Windows. - Don't ignore the last line in m3u playlists. - Don't crash if a codec could not be opened. - Dynamically allocate audio channel map entries (this should fix a crash in the alsa and coreaudio AOs with audio devices that support more than 20 channel maps). - Ignore the "srgb" option in the opengl VO if hardware decoding is enabled. - Linearize non-RGB sRGB files correctly (eg. JPEG). - Fix opening reference URLs (.file/id=) on OS X. This listing is not complete. There are many more bug fixes and changes. The complete change log can be viewed by running ``git log 8d8b36d..6583ad6`` in the git repository. Release 0.7.0 ============= Changes ------- - Buffer partial log messages in the client API (the client API will now only pass full log messages to clients). - Remove ncurses/terminfo/termcap support (it was disabled by default and replaced by new code since v0.6.0). - Enable cdda:// support by default again (it was disabled since v0.6.0). - Cascade-load input.conf (if there are several input.confs in the set of valid config paths, load them all). - Draw the OSD twice in 3D mode (this fixes subtitles display in 3D mode). - Make wasapi the default AO on Windows again since many of its problems have been solved. - Use "site-functions" subdir to install the zsh completion script instead of the Debian-specific "vendor-completions" (also provide the --zshdir waf configure option for changing this value). - Improve synchronization between the Cocoa GUI and the player (this fixes some long standing deadlock issues on Mac OS X). - Remove --fs-missioncontrol option (only relevant to Mac OS X). New features ------------ - Enable pitch correction by default when playing at higher speeds (this can be controlled with the --audio-pitch-correction option). - Open stream and demuxer asynchronously (this should avoid having the player get blocked on network streams). - Add cache-buffering-state property for querying the cache fill status until the player unpauses. - Add support for listing and selecting the audio device (note that it is not implemented for all AOs, see the --audio-device option for more information). - Add support for a JSON-based IPC mechanism (note that this is not currently supported on Windows, see the JSON IPC section in the manpage for more information). - Add Lua utility function for starting processes (see utils.subprocess() in the manpage). - Add Lua utility function for parsing JSON (see utils.parse_json() in the manpage). - Add field-dominance property (see --field-dominance option). - Add video-rotate property (see --video-rotate option). - Add playback-abort property for querying whether playback is stopped or is to be stopped. - Add cursor-autohide property (see --cursor-autohide option). - Add vo-configured property for querying whether a window is created. - Add support for dxva2 hardware acceleration on Windows. - Drop libquvi support (this has been replaced by a built-in Lua script that invokes the youtube-dl tool, which needs to be installed, see the --ytdl option). - Add support for loading chapters from an external file (see the --chapters-file option). - Add window-minimized property for querying whether the window is minimized (works for X11 only). - Make it possible to configure the OSC seekbar style (see the "seekbarstyle" OSC option). - Add support for libmpv on Mac OS X (it used to be broken, now it's fully functional and also provides support for embedding the mpv window inside a Cocoa/Qt application). - Try to use the audio channel map reported by ALSA in the alsa AO. - Add option to disable text OSD rendering completely (useful for working around certain fontconfig issues, see the --use-text-osd option). This listing is not complete. There are many more bug fixes and changes. The complete change log can be viewed by running ``git log 7759c18..9479daa`` in the git repository.
