Changes

  • Build system switches to waf. The old build system is still available by
    running ./old-configure, but it will be removed some time in the future.
  • The "run" input command changes in a not backwards compatible way.
  • Some input.conf commands were replaced (such as speed_mult).
  • Many audio/video filter have changed sub-options in a not backwards
    compatible way. (This is a consequence of unifying audio/video filter
    option parsing.)
  • Most video filters now use libavfilter internally if available.
  • Disable key autorepeat for some key binds, which prevents accidentally
    triggering a binding multiple times.
  • Encoding: install and include encoding profiles by default.

Bug fixes

  • Fix a bug that degraded vdpau playback after ~1 hour of runtime.
  • Restrict hardware decoding to codecs where it generally makes sense. This
    excludes mpeg4 for example, which often causes hardware decoders to decode to
    garbage. Use --hwdec-codecs to enable hardware decoding for more codecs.

New features

  • Add window-scale property, which allows changing the window size via mpv key
    bindings.
  • Add revert_seek command, which is meant to undo accidental seeks.
  • Hardware decoding (vdpau, vda, vaapi) can now be used with vo_opengl.
  • Pulseaudio: set pulse stream name to mpv window title (like MPlayer).
  • Support showing 2 subtitles at a time (--secondary-sid).
  • Re-add some basic dvdnav:// support. This doesn't handle navigation
    highlights correctly, but navigation should mostly work. (Note that
    dvdnav:// by default starts the longest title, instead of the DVD menu.
    The menu is available with dvdnav://menu.)
  • Win32: you can drop files on the mpv window.
