Mpv

Warning

This release was accidentally broken and fails to build. Please use 0.5.3.

Changes
- Inherit event flags from parent X11 window when using --wid.
- Properly resume playlists loaded at runtime (this makes mpv try to resume a playlist when loaded like "mpv playlist.m3u").
- Don't honor $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS anymore for global paths (this fixes a regression on systems that set the variable by default to somewhere else then /etc, making mpv skip previously created config files).
- Allow up to 256 MB of extradata to make broken files work.

Bug fixes
- Restore old speed change behavior (this fixes a temporary lack of sound after restoring normal speed e.g. when pressing Backspace).
- Fix quit handling when seeking past EOF while paused.
- Prevent burning CPU when seeking while paused.
- Don't add the playlist base path twice when using --playlist.
- Fix a crash when the initialization of the EGL context fails on Wayland.
- Make EOF handling properly event-based (this fixes a bug that made mpv hang when changing from one file to the next with --gapless-audio=no).
- Assume icy title data is terminated with ';' (this fixes handling of streams with metadata containing apostrophes).

This listing is not complete. There are many more bug fixes and changes. The complete change log can be viewed by running `git log 0f1d6c0..e3d3a47` in the git repository.

Changes
- Add audio/flac to the MIME type list in mpv.desktop.
- The --slave-broken option has been reintroduced and is equivalent to using --input-file=/dev/stdin and --input-terminal=no.

Bug fixes
- Fix screenshots with anamorphic videos in the vdpau vo.
- Fix a crash happening when mpv fails to create a vdpau mixer in the vdpau vo.
- Don't quit when the --loop-file option is used.
- Always load the cursor theme in the wayland vo (this fixes a crash caused by moving the mouse cursor over the video).
- Properly return non-zero from the zsh completion script when no matches are found (this fixes the use of user-defined zsh completion matchers).
- Fix the description of the opengl-hq vo default options in the manpage.
- Remove duplicated content from the manpage that was accidentally added in the manpage reorganization from the previous release.
- Avoid clobbering playback position on video end (when both audio and video streams reached the end, the playback poisition was briefly set at 0).
- Avoid overwriting user input in the coreaudio_device ao.

This listing is not complete. There are many more bug fixes and changes. The complete change log can be viewed by running `git log 6729e39..fdd648b` in the git repository.

Changes
- Support setting the start time relative to the start PTS with --start.
- Use /dev/sr0 as default cdrom/dvd device on Linux.
- Change "cache" property representation to float.
- Split the ao_coreaudio audio output into ao_coreaudio (which uses the AudioUnits and the CoreAudio sound server) and ao_coreaudio_device (which uses direct device access).
- Complete supported URL schemes in the zsh completion script.
- Enable compiler optimizations (-O2) during build.
- Allow precise seeking with percent-based seeks too.
- Do precise seeks when clicking on the OSC seekbar.
- Remove support for older VDA hwaccel versions on Mac OS X (requires recent versions of ffmpeg/libav).
- Remove the last remains of slave mode (--slave-broken option). Support for reading input commands from stdin can be emulated using: --input-terminal=no --input-file=/dev/stdin.
- Some key binding were remapped or removed:
- "LEFT" and "RIGHT" have been remapped to seek 5 seconds instead of 10.
- "c" for changing the YUV color space was unmapped.
- OSD level cycling has been remapped from "o" to "O".
- "o" is now mapped to the show_progress command (like "P").
- "PGUP" and "PGDWN" have been remapped to chapter-based seeks (the old bindings "" and "!" are still available). The old behvaiour has been remapped to "Shift+PGUP" and "Shift+PGDWM".
- Increasing/decreasing audio delay have been remapped from "+" and "-" to "Ctrl++" and "Ctrl+-".
- "(" and ")" for adjusting audio balance have been unmapped.
- "F" for toggling the "sub-forced-only" option has been unmapped.
- "TAB" for cycling TS programs has been unmapped.
- "A" for cycling DVD angle has been unmapped.
- "U" for stopping playback has been unmapped.
- "l" and "L" for cycling quvi format have been unmapped.
- Make it possible to build the client API (libmpv) on Mac OS X.
- Do necessary checks for nested Wayland compositors which only have limited interfaces.
- The options in the manpage have been re-organized into sections and ordered by usage to make it easier to navigate.
- The "hard" framedrop mode has been removed (this behaviour is still available via the --vd-lavc-framedrop option).
- Show the basename of a subtitle file only (without the directory part).

Bug fixes
- Use a default color space for files with no video (this fixes color managed OSD messages when no video channel is present).
- Fix key equivalent dispatching for Cocoa on Mac OS X.
- Disable non-interleaved audio formats by default with ao_alsa, since some ALSA plugins don't cope well with them (non-interleaved formats can still be enabled using the "non-interleaved" ao_alsa option).
- Fix deadlock in the client API when calling mpv_terminate_destroy() before mpv_initialize().
- Fix flushing of filter chain (this fixes a bug where the last frames would get dropped on EOF, if buffered by filters).
- Actually use the channels.conf configuration file for DVB.
- Restore the --dvbin-file option.
- Fix off by one error in the command parser which caused a segfault when using the mp.commandv() Lua function with 10 or more arguments.

New features
- Search for config files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS in addition to ~/.mpv. The config file has also been renamed to mpv.conf (although the old file still works and will be loaded even if the new one exists).
- Add "playback-time" property that returns the current playback time always starting at 0. This is now used to show the playback time in the OSD and the status line, fixing the shown playback time for transport streams that start at a completely random timestamp.
- Add cache-related "cache-free", "cache-used" and "cache-idle" properties.
- Add option to list supported protocols (--list-protocols).
- Allow setting libavformat stream options with the --stream-lavf-o option.
- Support running the demuxer in a separate thread and prefetch packets (this can be enabled using the --demuxer-thread 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 cb250d4..52f2f67` in the git repository.

Bug fixes
- Include changes from point releases in the release notes.
- Fix --cache-file operation when file size is unknown (e.g. when playing from a pipe).
- Don't sleep if playback is stopped when reconnecting for remote stream.
- Suspend read on vts change even if the requested title is not found when using dvdnav (dvd://) (this fixes a bug where the DVD menu was not shown properly after a DVD track ended).
- Avoid draining if the audio output is paused (this fixes a bug where mpv would hang when switching tracks when paused).
- Drop buffered audio when switching tracks or filters (this fixes a possible regression when using gapless audio).
- Reverse video rotation direction.
- Fix initialization of the input when playing from a pipe.
- Fix description of the --mf option in the manpage (the --mf syntax changed a while ago, but was not documented).
- Actually append entries to the end of the playlist instead of after the current entry with the "loadlist append" command.

New features
- Add "append-play" mode for the loadfile command.

Bug fixes
- Fix af_volume bug that caused negative ReplayGain values to increase volume instead of decreasing it in some situations.
- Actually use "weak" as --gapless-audio default value (as documented in the 0.4.0 release notes).
- Fix cache resizing bug that caused seeking to not work anymore.
- Escape all colons in the options descriptions in the zsh completion script.
- Don't consume an extra argument with --ao/af and --vo/vf options in the zsh completion script (as side effect, the completion now uses --opt=val instead of --opt val).
- Allow client applications to call mpv_terminate_destroy(NULL).
- Make sure seeking bounds are within range with dvdnav://.
- Check the length of the last title too with dvdnav://longest.
- Properly flush buffers on DVD seek (this fixes some seeking problems when playing DVDs).
- Allow compilation without atomics (for compilers that don't support atomic operations).
- Disable ao_null latency emulation.
- Restore ability to combine mouse buttons.
