Changes:
NOTE: The previous release changed the default format for youtube-dl and
removed some workarounds related to MPEG DASH support. However, the required
changes to FFmpeg code (FFmpeg/FFmpeg@4ab5666)
are not in any FFmpeg release yet (as of 2015-11-10), so for now, playing DASH
streams requires using FFmpeg git master. You can work around this by using the
--ytdl-format=best option.

pkgsrc changes:
* Add LUA_VERSION_INCOMPATIBLE= 53 to reflect upstream changelog. No
functional changes intended.
Changes:
Release 0.9.0
-------------
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.
Update multimedia/mpv to 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)
* 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.
Release 0.8.0

Diogo Franco Kovensky released this Feb 17, 2015 - 63 commits to master
since this release
Warning: for the first 4 hours of the release, the v0.8.0 tag pointed
to git master instead of the release. This was fixed later.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
===================
pkgsrc changes:
---------------
- Add quvi option to support youtube-like sites directly from mpv.
Disabled by default.
upstream changes:
-----------------
Release 0.6.1
Changes
Don't show message on "osd" command by default (this essentially
reverts a change introduced in the last release).
Add an alternative input configuration that reverts the key binding
changes introduced by previous releases
(see etc/restore-old-bindings.conf in the sources).
Automatically install example input configuration files.
Bug fixes
Fix stream languages with Bluray
Don't try to create surfaces of size 0 in the VDPAU vo.
Don't print audio/video init failure message twice.
Fix playback on the root window on X11 (i.e. when using --wid=0).
Fix the autodetection of the input format in the vf_stereo3d filter when
mpv is built against libav (this makes --video-stereo-mode work with
libav as well).
Fix compilation with PulseAudio 1.0.
Fix compilation with clang.
Try harder to decode cover art picture only once.
Fix cursor autohide (--cursor-autohide) with audio-only files on file
change (e.g. when skipping to the next playlist file).
Changes
Map ESC to exiting fullscreen.
Run the vo inside its own thread.
Enable the demuxer thread by default.
Prefer the opengl vo over the vdpau one.
Complete profile names in the zsh completion script.
Raise dsound ao buffer size to 200ms and make it configurable.
Bind ctrl+c to quit, so that it works both in the terminal and the player window.
Automatically load playlists without needing --load-unsafe-playlists or --playlist. Unsafe URLs are still rejected (e.g. remote playlists can't load local files).
Remove quvi-format property (which never really worked).
Wait until all Lua scripts are loaded on start.
Use separate threads for input sources (terminal, lirc, joystick) instead of using a central I/O loop.
Complete values for options that take file names in the zsh completion script.
Use libwaio for pipe input on Windows (if you want --input-file to work on Windows you need libwaio as an additional dependency).
Remove the --volstep option (users should change the argument to the "add" function in input.conf instead).
Always show the OSD message when changing volume, gamma, panscan, etc along with the OSD bar.
When changing a property always show it on the OSD (except for "pause" and "fullscreen").
Prefer the libavcodec decoder over libmpg123 for mp3 decoding (ffmpeg/libav support for gapless audio works better for mpv's use-case).
Allow passing number of loops to --loop-file.
Change --keep-open option semantics to not terminate the player when playing or seeking past the end of the file and there's no next file to be played.
Disable the sndio ao by default and prefer other outputs even if it's enabled.
New features
Add new framedrop mode that limits the frequency of new video frames displayed based on the display framerate (this is enabled by default, the old decoder-based mode can be enabled with --framedrop=decoder).
Add --demuxer-readahead-secs option to control the readahead buffer using a duration value.
Add estimated-frame-count and estimated-frame-number properties.
Add --cache-secs option which overrides the value of --demuxer-readahead-secs if the stream cache is active.
Add demuxer-cache-duration and demuxer-cache-idle properties.
Make --cache-file create a temporary file if the string "TMP" is passed instead of a file name.
Add support for Matroska 3D (if a file is marked as 3D using the StereoMode element, an automatic conversion filter is added).
Add --osd-playing-msg option to show a message on the OSD when the playback starts.
Add --media-title option to force the content of the media-title property.
Add --osd-msg1, --osd-msg2 and --osd-msg3 options to override the OSD message for the corresponding OSD level (before only level 3 could be overridden with --osd-status-message).
Add support for digital passthrough in the pulse ao.
Add support for opening DVD and Blu-ray directories directly.
Add --input-x11-keyboard option to control whether keyboard input should be enabled on the X11 window ot not (this is disabled by default when using the libmpv library).
or whatever) instances if only one of them is playing, like mplayer does.
