v0.7.0

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  • Drop libquvi support (this has been replaced by a built-in Lua script that invokes the youtube-dl tool, which needs to be installed, see the --ytdl option).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