By the default mpv tries opening URLs with ffmpeg first, and users who
don't configure try_ytdl_first get a slower startup for youtube URLs, on
top of yt-dlp already being slow.
Fix this by adding a script-opt of URL pattern to try with ytdl first.
Youtube and twitch are included by default.
Compared to the alternative of trying ytdl first by default and
excluding URLs with a media extension, this only works for the sites
explicitly included in the new option's value, but doesn't have false
positives on media URLs without an extension.
This adds click support for the select menu. Scrolling with the wheel
already worked.
If a custom OSC binds a button to a select.lua script-binding, this lets
users keep using the mouse to select an item.
While the OSC and the select menu are open at the same time, you can no
longer click the OSC's buttons. By using mp.add_key_binding instead of
add_forced_key_binding you could click both, but the console's binding
would be shadowed by MBTN_LEFT bindings in input.conf.
mpv only supports UTF-8 for configuration files. Other ASCII-compatible
encodings may "work" to some limited extent, but strings likely won't
as many places assume that all internal strings are UTF-8.
It's useful for user scripts to be able to use the same ytdl binary that
ytdl_hook uses without having to replicate ytdl_hook's process of
searching for the ytdl binary.
Some user scripts might also find it useful to be able to access ytdl's
json output that the ytdl_hook already receives, sparing user scripts
from having to make a duplicate ytdl binary invocation to get the json
output.
Providing just the json output is not enough though, as ytdl doesn't communicate
errors though it -- if an error occurs, ytdl provides no json output and instead
prints to stderr. So without stderr, there is no way for user scripts to figure
out why ytdl has failed: no such username / video id, the channel is not live
yet, etc. Because of that, the entire result of the subprocess call is provided
to the user scripts, containing stdout (json), stderr, ytdl's exit code, etc.
When I introduced the behaviour of `auto` trying every hwdec down the list
instead of giving up after the first one fails, I forgot to update this
part of the docs.
It is unclear whether there actually is any usecase for this option
which isn't better served by sub-ass-use-video-data and/or LayoutRes
overrides, but prior to the introduction of sub-ass-use-video-data
it was possible to pass along storage resolution while faking an
aspect ratio of 1:1.
sub-ass-video-aspect-override=1 combined with sub-ass-use-video-data=all
now makes this possible again.
The uper limit of a 10:1 aspect matches
the general video-aspect-override option.
The naming for "blur-compat" was misleading since the setting
actually affects more than just blur affects. Additionally
forwarding storage resolution but forcing an aspect ratio
of 1.0 for the video is likely to result in odd rendering
and there’s no known usecase for it.
Both options control which video properties are exposed to libass
so to fix the aforementioned issues merge these settings into one
tri-state sub-ass-use-video-data.
The default V keybind now cycles through all states of
use-video-data instead of toggling vsfilter-aspect-compat.

Previously, this was in the rubberband filter but it gives out random
numbers without explaning where they come from. Move it to the --pitch
section instead and reword it a bit. Closes#14652.
This property is used by the built-in OSC and some third-party OSC scripts
to indicate the margin they occupy so that other scripts such as
console.lua can use this value to position UI elements.
Currently user-data/osc is used for interpolation between the osc and
other internal scripts. Reserve this sub-path and also user-data/mpv
to make sure external scripts can only use these values as directed.
New internal uses of user-data should use user-data/mpv instead.
This makes --input-ipc-client work on Windows.
To use this feature, a parent process needs to create a connected named pipe,
wrap the server handle in a CRT fd, and then spawn mpv as a child process
with the fd as the --input-ipc-client parameter.
The process can then communicate through the client handle.
The named pipe must be created duplex with overlapped IO and inheritable
handles.
Follow up to the previous commit. Stop decreasing --ab-loop-count=N on
each iteration so it is preserved across different loops. In particular
it is preserved between different files without adding it to
--reset-on-next-file. Add a property to expose the remaning A-B loop
count instead.
The current behavior of --ab-loop-count=N is even worse than --loop-file
since it also doesn't reset when defining a new A-B loop in the same
file. Defining it has no effect after --ab-loop-count has decreased to
0, and this can't be fixed by adding it to --reset-on-next-file. This
commit also resets remaining-ab-loops every time --ab-loop-a and
--ab-loop-b are set to fix this.
ARGB is in fact _not_ like web color. It's easy to skim over the
actual hexadecimal provided in the next sentence and just assume mpv
understands RGBA after reading the words "web colors"
The current documentation of sub-scale-by-window and sub-scale-with-window
doesn't sufficiently convey what these options do exactly. Specifically,
the described effects of disabling one option is only true when the other
option is not disabled. The "clarification" of sub-scale-with-window option
only adds more confusion, when the effect of that option is already told
in more detail before (it scaled with window instead of video).
Clarify this by listing the effects of all combinations of these options.
These have been deprecated for 9 years so it's fine to remove them.
Using the replacement properties like video-bitrate in stats.lua will
convert big enough bitrates to Mbps.
