Python-mpv

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- Drop libquvi support (this has been replaced by a built-in Lua script that invokes the youtube-dl tool, which needs to be installed, see the --ytdl option).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).

This listing is not complete. There are many more bug fixes and changes. The complete change log can be viewed by running `git log 7759c18..9479daa` in the git repository.

Changes
- The --ass-style-override option now requires a newer version of libass.

Bug fixes
- Correctly signal EOF when using --frames.
- Strictly endorce the limit imposed by --frames (i.e. avoid producing an extra frame at the end).
- Fix \x-style escaping when parsing commands.
- Correctly handle ^h key on the terminal (this should fix the when inserted from Backspace key on new versions of xterm).
- Don't put the player to sleep after audio reinit.
- Properly exit if both audio and video fail to initialize.

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).

Bug fixes
- Fix generation of watch later config file for multiline file names when --write-filename-in-watch-later-config is used (avoid writing the new lines in the config, which would make it possible for the filename to set options).
- Fix random crashes on audio uninit.
