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).
