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.
- Add player setting for BD-J persistent storage and cache paths.
- Add support for system fonts. BD-J fonts in jre/lib/fonts/ are not required anymore.
- Add BD-J organization ID and disc ID to BLURAY_DISC_INFO.
- Release still mode when BD-J terminates.
- Implement BD-J caching.
- Improve BD-J compability.
- Java 8 compability fixes.
- Fix storage size for bdjo object reference in BLURAY_DISC_INFO.
- Fix BD-J on-disc font usage.
- Fix animations in some BD-J menus.
- Fix BD-J storage path charset issues in Windows.
* Drop support for HP-UX.
* Drop support for Windows 9x and Windows NT.
Windows 2000 is now required.
* Replace BeOS support by Haiku support.
* Add dvdcss_open_stream() to public API. This allows installing custom
callback functions for accessing DVD, e.g. over the network.
* dvdcss_error() now returns "const char *" instad of "char *".
* Drop support for MSVC versions before 2010.
* Raw device access now errors out if the device cannot be opened.
* Miscellaneous cleanups to code, documentation, build system.
GStreamer is a library that allows the construction of graphs of
media-handling components, ranging from simple mp3 playback to complex
audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.
Applications can take advantage of advances in codec and filter technology
transparently. Developers can add new codecs and filters by writing a
simple plugin with a clean, generic interface.
This package provides the opengl plugin for GStreamer using the Raspberry Pi's
VideoCore IV EGL APIs.

3.4.5:
- Avoid warnings when the volume doesn't have a mount
- Fix media detection on loopback devices
- Work-around hang-on-close() bugs in gvfs when parsing M3U playlists
- Save everything we're told to in XSPF playlists
3.4.4:
- Remove dependency on newer versions of glib
- Fix overescaping of URIs in XSPF playlists
- Add support for the itmss URI scheme
- Require gmime 2.6
- Fix small memory leak in totem_pl_parser_can_parse_from_data()
- Add read and write support for Totem XSPF extensions
(starttime and playing attributes)
- Send content-type along with playlist-started/-ended signals
for PLS, M3U and XSPF playlist types
Otherwise the configure script fails with:
PKGSRC-WARNING: Something is trying to run the c compiler,
PKGSRC-WARNING: but it is not added to USE_LANGUAGES in the package Makefile.
The package still don't build because of an upstream problem in Makefile.am, but it is a separate issue.
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).
OMXPlayer is a commandline OMX player for the Raspberry Pi. It was developed
as a testbed for the XBMC Raspberry PI implementation and is quite handy to
use standalone.
