I've tried not to be too detailed (because it's not a reference, just
some guidelines), but it still got relatively long. Also contains
conventions for sending patches.
MP_CMD_COMMAND_LIST commands (used to implement key bindings with
multiple commands) were not checked for abort commands. Implement it.
Remove the remarks about multi-commands being special from the manpage.
Seek coalescing is handled differently now, and the issue with abort
commands is fixed with this commit.
Use of these is "discouraged", but they're there to select these special
cases with the "aspect" property. They really should use some sort of
choice option type, but since it would be some work to make these work
with float values, the simple and dumb alternative was picked.
Set the flag CODEC_FLAG_OUTPUT_CORRUPT by default. Note that there is
also CODEC_FLAG2_SHOW_ALL, which is older, but this seems to be ffmpeg
only.
Note that whether you want this enabled depends on the user. Some might
prefer that only good frames are output, while others want the decoder
to try as hard as possible to output _anything_. Since mplayer/mpv is
rather the kind of player that tries hard instead of being "clever", set
the new default to override libavcodec's default.
A nice way to test this is switching video tracks. Since mpv doesn't
wait for the next key frame, it'll start feeding the decoder with a
packet from the middle of the stream.
This is probably useful.
Note that this includes a small, stupid hack to prevent loading of the
config file if vf_lavfi is not available. The profile by default uses
vf_lavfi, and the config parser will output errors if vf_lavfi is not
available.
As another caveat, we install the example profile even if encoding is
disabled (though we don't load it, since this would print errors).
This is relatively hacky, but it's Christmas, so it's ok. This does two
things: 1. allow selecting two subtitle tracks, and 2. include a hack
that renders the second subtitle always as toptitle. See manpage
additions how to use this.
Basically, reimplement --msglevel. Instead of making the new msg code
use the legacy code, make the legacy code use the reimplemented
functionality.
The handling of the deprecated --identify switch changes. It temporarily
stops working; this will be fixed in later commits.
The actual sub-options syntax (like --msglevel-vo=...) goes away, but I
bet nobody knew about this or used this anyway.
Remove these because I'm too lazy to convert them to proper
STREAM_CTRLs. Considering that probably nobody uses radio://, caring
about this is a complete waste of time. I will add these commands back
if someone asks for them, but I don't expect this to happen.
"-" could skip optional arguments. I think this was a pretty bad idea,
because it introduced a weird special case.
I'll remove the special syntax, but keep compatibility for the "seek"
and "screenshot" commands.
Add the mp_get_user_path() function, and make it expand special path
prefixes. Use it for some things in mpv which take filenames
(--input-config, --screenshot-template, opengl icc-profile suboption).
This allows accessing files in the mpv config dir without hardcoding the
config path by prefixing the path with ~~/. Details see manpage
additions.
