This commit addresses some issues with the users had with the previous
implementation in commit c39efb9. Here's the changes:
* Use Quartz Event Taps to remove Media Key events mpv handles from
the global OS X queue. This prevents conflicts with iTunes. I did this on
the main thread since it is mostly idling. It's the playloop thread that
actually does all the work so there is no danger of blocking the event tap
callback.
* Introduce `--no-media-keys` switch so that users can disable all of mpv's
media key handling at runtime (some prefer iTunes for example).
* Use mpv's bindings so that users can customize what the media keys do via
input.conf. Current bindings are:
MK_PLAY cycle pause
MK_PREV playlist_prev
MK_NEXT playlist_next
An additional benefit of this implementation is that it is completly handled
by the `macosx_events` file instead of `macosx_application` making the
project organization more straightforward.
mpv
Overview
mpv is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.
If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read more about the changes.
Compilation
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of ./configure --help for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
./configure. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain
information about the reasons for the failure.
Essential dependencies (incomplete list):
- gcc or clang
- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
- libjpeg
- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
- libx264 if you want to use encoding (has to be explicitly enabled when compiling ffmpeg)
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build) that first compiles FFmpeg libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide homebrew-mpv, an up to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for OSX.
