the Screen property localizedName returns a none unique dynamic name
that doesn't allow a specific selection of a Screen on every OS boot.
the name consists of the vendor name and model name (eg DELL U2723QE).
if the same model display is connected to the system several times,
macOS starts to add numbers to the localizedName (eg DELL U2723QE (1)),
that may not be associated to the same Screen on every OS boot or
connecting the display. it also changes the name of the first connected
display by adding that numeration. this makes it impossible specify the
proper screen with the screen-name option every time.
to circumvent this we remove the enumeration from the name and instead
add the serial number to the display-names property. this makes the
actual Screen unique and none dynamic. furthermore the selection of a
screen by name will check for equality for the old localizedName, simple
name without enumeration, serial number and the combined name with
serial number. this makes it possible to select the screen by either of
those names and identifiers, and keeps backwards compatibility with the
old behaviour.
Examples:
localized name (System Settings name): DELL U2723QE, DELL U2723QE (1)
simple name: DELL U2723QE
serial number: 123456789
combined name: DELL U2723QE (123456789)
Currently they refer to the OSC documentation. However,
the "mp.options functions" already documents that, is more detailed,
and does not contain false statements like "there may be no spaces around
the ``=`` or anywhere else" (the primitive parser does not care about
them, so starting a string option value with spaces is perfectly fine).
Change them to refer to "mp.options functions" and remove the redundant
section in the OSC documentation.
This allows users to set buffer duration in exclusive mode. We have
been using the default device period as the buffer size and it is
robust enough in most cases. However, on some devices there are
horrible glitches after a stream reset. Unfortunately, the issue is not
consistently reproducible, but using a smaller buffer size (e.g., the
minimum device period) seems to resolve the problem.
Fixes#13715.
This option type is not used only by filter options: they're already
used by --ao, --vo, and --gpu-context. Replace the mentions of
"filter" to "item" instead, and changes some languages to improve clarity.
Also change the documentation on "Filter options" to describe what it
really is, and fix a typo.
This gives these properties the "time" type, which allows them to be pretty-printed as HH:MM:SS easily (but also still allows raw formatting using e.g. ${=sub-start}).
This lets you press / in page 4 of the stats and type a keybinding or
part of its command to filter it by using mp.input.
This works badly without a VO because both stats.lua and console.lua use
show-text and only one can be displayed at a time, but it's still better
than not having the search available at all.
Enable ASS_FEATURE_{WHOLE_TEXT_LAYOUT, BIDI_BRACKETS} and auto base
detection by default, and add an option to disable this if needed.
This is strictly an improvement for webvtt files as they always use
auto base detection. This _fixes_ right-to-left text rendering for
webvtt files which correctly mark rtl/ltr. Webvtt files obtained from
sources which sideload the RTL information through css also see an
improvement due to the auto detection.
Generally SRT files also want this, but some are also written to
workaround VSFilter quirks.

Avoid having to configure both the OSD and the stats script opts when
you change the OSD options, in particular avoid having to convert colors
to BGR.
Also document the shadow options.
font_size, border_size and shadow offset defaults are kept because the
same values look much bigger in the stats than in the corresponding OSD
options.
osd-back-color is now respected without extra checks until you
explicitly set a shadow_color.
Showing media titles in the playlist is pointless when sources are ill
tagged and media titles contain only garbage. Being able to opt for
file names at least gives us a choice in such cases.
Turns out that adding more medatata like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision would
produce a lot of duplication and it is better to centralize it around
the track-list property.

Adds support for extracting codec profile. Old properties are redirected
to new one and removed from docs. Likely will stay like that forever as
there is no reason to remove them.
As a effect of unification of properties between audio and video,
video-codec will now print codec (format) descriptive name, not decoder
long name as it were before. In practice this change fixes what docs
says. If you really need decoder name, use the `track-list/N/decoder-desc`.
Probing for hwdec can be very slow: on my setup (Nvidia GPU without
VP9 hwdec capability), this causes 2x hot cache startup time compared
to explicitly disabling VP9 in this list (500 ms -> 1 000 ms).
Also remove --vo=vdpau reference.
In many places, flags options have duplicate descriptions like
--break-player and --no-break-player. This is redundant since the
equivalence of this syntax to --break-player=<yes|no> is already
documented, and the =<yes|no> syntax is more in line with the syntax
of other option types.
This replaces all usage of --no-foobar with --foobar=no, and use
--foobar=<yes|no> when possible.
As far as I can tell PulseAudio introduced a bug in 16.0
where if a stream is (un)paused too often the reported latency
will momentarily spike by 3000% or more. Apparently in certain cases
just pausing once and waiting can also cause this.
Save the remaining users of PA the trouble of debugging the various
obscure issues that can arise from this (desync is a harmless example)
by enabling the latency hack code again.

Basically a simple way to perform any command/property action from the
command line. This takes the exact same syntax as input.conf but not
including the key naturally. Potentially useful for weird properties
that don't map well to options (like ao-volume). Fixes#12353.
This enhancement makes it easier to create constant width property
expansions, useful for the `--term-status-msg`. Additionally, it changes
to `%f` printing with manual zero trimming, which is easier to control
than `%g`. With this method, we can directly specify precision, not just
significant numbers. This approach also avoids overly high precision for
values less than 1, which is not necessary for a generic floating-point
print function.
A new print helper function is added, which can be used with adjusted
precision for specific cases where a different default is needed. This
also unifies the code slightly.
Escape all messages in osc.lua, because other than the title they
weren't being escaped at all. If for example you did mpv foo.mp4
'{\fs50}bar.mp4' and script-message osc-playlist, it would just render
the second entry as bar.mp4 in big text.
The title was escaped partially, now the escaping is complete because:
- It escapes \. Backslashes at the end of the title are escaped instead
of being stripped, and \n, \N and \h are now printed verbatim. In
particular, "\\n" is no longer converted to space and is printed
verbatim instead which is more correct.
- Newlines ("\n", not the "\\n" escape sequence) are converted to spaces
instead of rendering them and messing up the text positioning within
the OSC.
- Spaces at the start are preserved.
Fixes#11209, fixes#11275.
This adds a command to escape ASS tags to remove code duplication
between sub/osd_libass.c, console.lua, osc.lua, stats.lua and any user
script that calls mp.create_osd_overlay().
A command is used instead of scripting functions so that all clients can
use this and not just use Lua and JS ones.
osd_mangle_ass() also interprets osd-sym-cc and osd-ass-cc/{0,1}, but
since they use invalid UTF-8 characters there is no risk of escape-ass
users using them by accident, like with any OSD message.
Always replacing \n with \\N in mangle_ass() even when it is not called
by escape-ass doesn't seem to cause any issue, but I made it conditional
anyway to avoid changing how all OSD messages are treated unnecessarily.
There was no way for scripts to know the current size of the terminal,
which is essintial if they want to provide a good user experience even
without a window.
The terminal is assumed to be 80x24 in size, the new options
`term_width_limit` and `term_height_limit` can be used to overwrite
that.
Lines longer then the terminal width cause problems with scrolling
pages and need to be shortened.
The algorithm used for shortening can deal with tabs and escape
sequences, has rudimentary support for UTF-8 and runs in O(n).
avih helped in the creation of the term_ellipsis() function and split()
is also from him.
Manually editing interface-changes.rst is a giant maintenance pain that
causes merge conflicts all the time. Stop doing that nonsense and
instead have changes be written to files in DOCS/interface-changes. Also
remove that one sentence in changes.rst because it's just not true.
Debanding is an inherently destructive process. It is not needed for
most high-quality sources and only produces an adverse smoothing effect
when applied to fine-detailed content, removing detail. It should only
be applied when necessary, either manually with the `b` keybind or with
an automatic profile.
Additionally, it is quite computationally heavy with no real benefit for
high-quality content.
By default, and especially in the high-quality profile, mpv should
preserve source detail and quality as much as possible. Additional
processing should be opt-in.
Fixes the issue described in https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/11862
for SDR files for non-d3d11 gpu-api. We currently don't have a smarter
way to get the real on-the-wire bpc for other APIs, so this is the best
that can be done.
Clarify that --autofit-larger sets the maximum size of the window.
The original wording was not written with runtime change in mind,
so the implication of "not changing size" is ambiguous.
As the first aligned format this required a fix to reconfig().
Adding the other component-swapped formats in this group would be trivial
but I checked the DRM database [1] and no driver exists that supports
one of those but not YUYV and this is quite fringe as-is, so I opted not to.
