some changes to attempt to make mplayer in pkgsrc less
"absurdly complicated"
1.5: "Hope" February 27, 2022
Decoders, demuxers, streams:
* ffmpeg12vpdau is no longer supported by FFmpeg,
provide separate ffmpeg1vpdau and ffmpeg2vdpau instead
* live555 deprecated and disabled by default, will be removed
in future
GUI:
* Fix wrongly sized video window after leaving fullscreen mode
* Clear screen when switching to fullscreen mode using the x11
video output driver
* Command line option -fs is now recognized in addition to the
GUI option load_fullscreen
* Use correct visual in OpenGL video output driver for X11
* Provide a built-in skin so that the GUI can be used even
without an installed skin
* Native Language Support, i.e. the GUI language can be changed
as specified in LC_MESSAGES or LANG
* Minor bug fixes
Other:
* Building on Arm now compiles for the ISA and extensions of the
host CPU by default. This should avoid issues like builds on
e.g. Raspbian not using NEON by default.
Can use --enable-runtime-cpudetection to restore the previous
behaviour, though full runtime CPU detection is not supported.
* New configure option --enable-nls for Native Language Support at
runtime (for the moment only for the GUI and enabled by default
for it)
* macOS: Fixes for retina display, sluggish input processing
pkgsrc changes:
* Set autosync = 30 by default to fix choppy video with NetBSD's new
audio system.
* Remove PulseAudio and legacy sound servers (nas, esd) as defaults.
Consistent with mpv.
* Add an alsa option and enable it by default on Linux.
* Disable all codecs by default and just use ffmpeg instead.
Allows distribution restrictions based on patents to be removed.
Tested with a variety of common file formats.
Consistent with other packages (e.g. FreeBSD Ports).
While here, upgrade to ffmpeg4.
Upstream changes:

Decoders, demuxers, streams:
* More pixel formats are supported for VP9, RSCC, Screenpresso
* pvr:// support for the Hauppauge HD PVR model 1212
* Speed up detection of mpg format while streaming (limit probe to 4 MB)
* demuxer: fall back to audio pts if all others are unavailable (#1928)
* raw video: add support for < 8bpp RGB, support for paletted raw video,
fix fliped raw video in non-avi containers
* increase -lavdopts threads limit to 32
* warn for badly interleaved files, and make -ni more aggressive
* support GBR pixel formats for HEVC
* FFmpeg audio decoders: g721, g732
* FFmpeg video decoders: more Matrox mpeg2 formats (M702-3-4-5), Truemotion
RT, Matrox Uncompressed SD/HD, BitJazz SheerVideo, YUY2 Lossless Codec
Apple Pixlet, ScreenPressor, FM Screen Capture Codec
* FFmpeg IFF video/image decoders: ANIM, ILBM, PBM, RGB8, RGBN
Fixes:

* fix reading of bitmap fonts
* fix -subdelay applied inverted
* some fixes for video filter bmovl (#2304, #2308)
* fix timing of first and last frame (#2315)
Other:
* MPlayer can link against OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS for https support
(Warning: the resulting binary can not be redistributed)
* OSD: NV12/NV21 support
* video output xv: NV12/NV21 support
* video outputs for OSX: fix a few issues with newer OSX versions
GUI:
* No limitation on the number of entries in a font description file
* Dramatic speedup of scanning font description files
* Playback improvements for cue sheet playlists
* Implementation of audio playback utilizing ReplayGain data
* New symbol character 'g' and new dynamic label variable $g
* Skins can leave current volume unchanged at startup
* New configuration file: gui.gain
* Modern new icons for the (default) menu, the file selector,
the playlist and the message boxes
* Rearrangement of some items of the (default) menu
* Fix of broken evLoadAudioFile, evLoadSubtitle and evDropSubtitle
* Skin support for 8-bit PNGs with palette
* specify --disable-sse4 to avoid non-PIE asm ops in libmpcodecs/vf_ass.c
that cause text relocations on NetBSD/i386
* explicitly pull pkgsrc/multimedia/libass to avoid internal libass
(which seems usually enabled by configure's autodetect)
* specify -fpic in configure for NetBSD/i386 to enable __PIC__ blocks
in some sources
* while here, use -mtune rather than -mcpu for not only gcc4 but
also 5.x and later
Bump PKGREVISIONs. Ok'ed by wiz@ in PR pkg/53319.
pkgsrc changes:
o Switch all mplayer packages to use multimedia/ffmpeg2 instead of the
version bundled with MPlayer. This will make maintainership of mplayer
packages probably a bit easier (and it's particular relevant when dealing
vulnerability issues). Discussed with wiz@.
o Adjust CONFIGURE_ARGS and other part of the Makefile* to reflect the switch
to multimedia/ffmpeg2.
Changes:
1.2.1:
Fixes:
* misc GUI fixes
* fix build regression in FreeBSD
* fix many crashes with fuzzed files
* fix errors for multichannels files and pulseaudio >= 6
Other:
* building with system FFmpeg libs is possible without a local copy of
of private FFmpeg headers
* docs building does not require FFmpeg anymore
* FFmpeg updated to 2.8.5
pkgsrc changes:
* Various misc fixes (thanks to pkglint)
* Do not pass --with-dvdread-config and --with-dvdnav-config, the
dvdread-config and dvdnav-config seems that no longer exist.
* Avoid to pass --enable-libvorbis otherwise libvorbis can not be recognised by
the mplayer configure script.
* (re)Use patches from multimedia/ffmpeg2 instead of using mplayer-specific
ones
Changes:
1.2: "FrameCounter"
Decoders:
* Hardware accelerated decoding on OS X via VDA.
* Internal libmpeg2 disabled by default, on the assumption
that nobody really needs it anymore.
Other:
* "run" slave/keybinding command now supports expanding properties
* better support for > 8 bit formats in -vo gl
* support for XYZ color space in -vo gl
* -vo gl now supports OSD (not EOSD though) with GLES backend.
* GLES backend now uses GLES v2 with YUV support via shaders
* -vo gl supports rotated display without needing video filters via
-monitor-orientation command-line option.
* -vo gl now has an OSX/Cocoa backend, so it should be a better
alternative to -vo corevideo now.
* -vo gl2 renamed to -vo gl_tiled to stop people from assuming it is
better than -vo gl (it is in many ways worse).
* Fixes for DVB, teletext and closed-caption based subtitles.
* Support teletext and CC subtitles in WTV.
* Support binding keys corresponding to non-ASCII characters.
* Limited -endpos support for -dump*
* Danish messages header file renamed from help_mp-dk.h to help_mp-da.h
in order to comply with ISO 639 language code (configure language
options will now require da instead of dk)
* configure: options --enable-gtk1, --with-glib-config= and
--with-gtk-config= removed
* Change ID3 genre name for genre ID 67 from "Psychadelic"
to "Psychedelic"
* support for audio bin/cue images
Ports:
* Windows: support file names as UTF-8 in slave mode and passing
file names as wchar command line arguments.
* Android: MPlayer can be run from adb shell and display videos
via OpenGL ES.
Note that just a bit of seeking etc. would cause reproducible
system reboots after just a few seconds on my Galaxy S2.
* Android: -wid is supported. This should allow using MPlayer in slave
mode, a native window pointer needs to be passed as -wid. Untested.
GUI:
* Support for TV/DVB
* Various improvements of the context menu and the preferences dialog
* Revision of the user interface texts
* Console message with information on deprecated (but still supported)
entries in the skin configuration file
* New symbol character (r) and new dynamic label variables ($D, $U, $P)
* New items (pimage, rpotmeter)
* Updated skins (avifile, Blue, Blue-small, Clearlooks, Corelian,
disappearer, mentalic, mplayer_red, nativeRed, neutron, phony, plastic,
slim, softgrip, standard, trium, tvisor, xanim)
* Video can be rotated
* New GUI message: evSetRotation
* GUI now officially needs GTK+ and GLib versions 2 (it hadn't compiled
with versions 1 for quite some time)
* Support for audio and video bin/cue image playback
* Support for Audio CD / (Super) Video CD / DVD image and DVD copy playback
through the respective scheme (cd://, vcd://, dvd://)
* Support for arbitrary non-binary data file cue sheets (i.e. cue sheets
describing playlists for data files containing multiple titles)
FFmpeg:
* Version 2.8 with local patches
Thanks to wiz@ for misc private discussion.
Pkgsrc changes:
* Fix some pkglint(1) warnings (no functional changes intended)
* Modified options.mk in order to always enable or disable a
PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTION (for more information please give a look to
the second "Note" of options.mk)
* Removed the mplayer-internal-faad PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTION, now faad support is
only enabled via audio/faad2.
* Changed MASTER_SITES, now MPlayer distfile is fetched directly from its
mirror.
MPlayer changes:
1.1: "We gave up on 1.0"
Decoders:
* FFmpeg AAC decoder is now preferred over libfaad2 and the internal
libfaad2 forked copy has been removed in its favor
Demuxers:
* experimental support for using binary Quicktime codecs with -demuxer lavf.
* correct runtime and average bitrate for VBR (variable bitrate) MP3
Filters:
* delogo: allow to change the rectangle based on the time.
* lavfi: libavfilter filter graphs (experimental).
Other:
* support adding noise at output resolution with -vo gl:noise-strength=8
* experimental support for OpenGL ES 1.0 in -vo gl
* support for PGS (BluRay-compatible), DVB and XSUB subtitles.
* af_cmdline slave command to change e.g. audio equalizer options at runtime.
* vo x11: don't hide or show cursor any more if attached to an existing window (-wid)
* try reconnecting network streams e.g. after network timeouts
* lots of bug fixes as always (and surely a few new bugs, too :-( )
GUI: Support for the GUI continues.
* numerous fixes, improvements and updates
* UTF-8 support
* all skin messages available as slave commands (gui <message>)
* fancy new icon
Ports:
* Wine (see DOCS/tech/crosscompile.txt)
MEncoder:
* -force-key-frames option to set explicit seek points.
MPlayer (1.0)
rc4: "Yes We Can"
GUI: Changes towards removing the GUI
* The GUI will no longer display any error or warning messages.
* Special GUI slave commands (gui_*) were removed, along with
the related key bindings.
Decoders:
* YUY2 Lossless Codec (YLC0) via binary DLL
* Truemotion RT codec (TR20) via binary DLL
* Nogantech Codec (NTN1 and NTN2) via binary DLL
* add new FourCCs (m1v1, yuvs, VYUY, Y42B, V422, YUNV, UYNV, UYNY, uyv1,
2Vu1, P422, HDYC, IJLV, MVJP)
TwoCCs (0xA106, 0x6c75, 0xAAC0, 0x55005354)
to existing decoders
* AMR now handled via OpenCORE decoder
* updated Windows Media Screen Codec (MSS1, MSS2) via binary DLL
* CoreAVC H.264 decoder via binary DLL (Windows only)
* Kega Game video codec (KGV1) via binary DLL
* SoftLab-NSK Forward MPEG-2 I-frames (SLIF) via binary DLL
* JPEG 2000 support via OpenJPEG

Demuxers:
* Mostly fixed timing issues with some H.264 (PAFF) samples
* Matroska and Ogg demuxers switched to use libavformat by default.
Report issues and use -demuxer ogg and -demuxer mkv to work around them.
* support for TrueHD in Blu-ray streams in libmpdemux
* more Blu-ray codec support with lavf
* fix length in ASF/WMV files
* support ISDB-Tb DVB streams
Filters:
* remove vf_yuy2, functionality is replaced by -vf format=yuv2
* remove vf_rgb2bgr, functionality is replaced by sws and vf_format
Streaming:
* Support for unencrypted Blu-ray playback through libbluray.
Use it through: mplayer br:////path/to/disc
Drivers:
* -vo yuv4mpeg:interlaced no longer does its own interlaced RGB->YUV
conversion. Use -vf scale=::1 to keep the same behavior and report
if there are any issues with that.
* X11: Window manager chooses Window position by default.
Add geometry=50%:50% to your configuration to get the old behavior.
* -vo md5sum md5 calculation changed so output matches FFmpeg's -f framemd5
* Support for more formats in OpenGL video output drivers (different YUV
subsampling, 16 bit per component)
* Selectable YUV to RGB conversion standard for -vo gl
(-vo gl:colorspace=...:levelconv=...)
* -vo gl now tries to use yuv=2 by default if possible
* -vo gl:stereo=... for experimental stereo (3D) support
* -vo matrixview finally added
* add OS/2 KAI audio driver (-ao kai)
Other:
* -nosub option for disabling auto-selected subtitles
* support for displaying subs in the terminal (FIXME)
* support for subtitles with audio-only files

* support for live and non-live DVB teletext with demuxer lavf
* -name, -title and -use-filename-title options for MPlayer
* support for stream handling via FFmpeg, in particular RTMP and RTSP
(use e.g. ffmpeg://http://example.com/test)
* experimental support for external libass, configure with
--disable-ass-internal
* better support for 16-bit-per-component formats and formats
with alpha channel
* better out-of-the-box support for compiling for ARM, IA64,
MinGW32 and MinGW-w64, MinGW has ASLR enabled with recent
enough binutils
* libdvdcss synced with upstream Subversion snapshot
MEncoder:
* add -tsprog for demuxer lavf
The builtin libavcodec now uses yasm to assemble hand written
h264 code. The older x264 we currently have in pkgsrc is not supported
by mplayer, so I had to do some hand tweaking to make it work.
It may contain bugs because of this, so report any fallouts with h264.
(stack-based buffer overflow in the str_read_packet function in
libavformat/psxstr.c)
-add (a modified version of) the ffmpeg 4xm patch which fixes
possible memory corruption
bump PKGREVISION
