New in mpv 0.9.2 (May 19, 2015)

New in mpv 0.9.1 (Apr 29, 2015)

New in mpv 0.9.0 (Apr 27, 2015)

CHANGES:
Note: mpv is not compatible with Lua 5.3. Lua 5.1 or 5.2 is required.
The minimum required libass version is now 0.12.1 or newer.
The minimum required FFmpeg version is now 2.4.0 (equiv. Libav 11) or newer.
The internal libmpg123 support was removed. This was already not used by default in the previous release.
(!) The LIRC support was removed. Configure LIRC remotes as input devices instead.
(!) The Linux Joystick support was removed.
(!) vf_screenshot was removed, as they are now handled at a VO level and is compatible with all VOs.
(!) --ass-use-margins has been renamed to --sub-use-margins and applies only to plain-text (non-ASS) subtitles (enabled by default). The new --ass-force-margins option applies only to ASS subtitles (disabled by default). To get the old behaviour back, enable both at the same time.
(!) The --sub-scale-with-window option now only applies to plain text (non-ASS) subtitles (enabled by default). The new --ass-scale-with-window option does the same but only with ASS subtitles (disabled by default).
(!) The range for the param1 for the gaussian vo_opengl scaler has been redefined. Instead of being an arbitrary 1-100 range, have a default value of 1.0, and anything higher is blurrier.
(!) The seek, playlist_next, playlist_prev, loadfile and loadlist parameters no longer accept numerical parameters where symbolic parameter names exist.
(!) vf_format no longer converts video to YUYV if there is no parameter. Video is now passed unchanged unless a format is specifically requested.
(!) The --colormatrix, --colormatrix-input-range, --colormatrix-output-range and --colormatrix-primaries options have been converted into vf_format suboptions. See commit 27715b7 and the manual for details.
vf_mirror's implementation was replaced with calling into libavfilter's vf_hflip filter, thus depending on libavfilter to function.
The device subption to ao_wasapi has been deprecated in favor of --audio-device.
--video-rotate now allows 360 as an argument instead of stopping at 359.
Several improvements to af_scaletempo.
Options that have multiple options and also include a "yes" option now default to that if specified with no arguments.
The default value of --cache-default is now 150000 (153.6 MB, ~146 MiB).
JPEG screenshots now use the same subsampling as the source video. The images are still RGB regardless of source format though.
(!) vo_opengl changes:
(!) The smoothmotion suboption has been renamed to interpolation. The old name is still supported for now.
(!) The bilinear_slow scaler has been renamed to triangle.
(!) scale-down has been renamed to dscale and now has its own set of config options (e.g. dscale-radius).
(!) Scaler radius no longer defaults to 3 but to a preferred value that may be different for each filter.
The scale-radius option may now go down as low as 0.5, which is the value used by the nearest filter.
spline36 is the new cscale default for opengl-hq. This might break setups that use fbo-format=rgb8. To work around it, leave fbo-format as its default, or set to something higher than 8, or set cscale=bilinear, the previous default.
BUG FIXES:
mpv no longer saves position on files that can't be resumed (issue #1701).
(X11) Fix the player thinking the mouse has left the window in some WMs / embeddings (issue #1672).
mpv no longer freezes on wayland when the compositor stops asking it to draw itself (e.g. when minimized) (issue #249).
.ac3 files are no longer rejected by --audio-file-auto (issue #1759).
ao_wasapi now automatically enables exclusive when passthrough is attempted (issue #1742).
Attempt to fix flickering on Intel VAAPI drivers with --hwdec=vaapi and --vo=opengl (issue #1765).
youtube-dl will no longer download video streams when video playback is disabled with --no-video.
(Windows) mpv now prevents system sleep when playing a video-only file. Previously, only files with an opened audio track would prevent sleep.
NEW FEATURES:
New Linux-only vo_drm video output driver. Uses the direct rendering / kernel modesetting drivers to draw directly to the framebuffer, but with no hardware acceleration. See manual for details.
New pseudo-gui builtin profile, automatically used when launched from mpv.desktop by opening mpv.exe on windows (mpv.com still works as usual), or by opening the mpv.app bundle. The pseudo-gui tries to make the player window behave closer to what a desktop player would do, by not immediately closing and allowing the user to drag&drop files for playback. See manual for details.
mpv can now play directories by automatically playing their contents instead. Works everywhere but on Windows, due to issues with Windows' C runtime.
Add support to pitch correct stretched audio with librubberband.
Add support for the Raspberry Pi 2's hardware decoder when FFmpeg (or Libav) is built with --enable-mmal. See commit 8fff125 for details.
The --cache option now accepts a "yes" option, that always enables a --cache-default-sized cache on all cases a cache can be used, unless --cache-default disables caching.
ao_pulse, ao_coreaudio and ao_wasapi now support device hotplugging.
New --osd-align-x and --osd-align-y options can be used to align the OSD independently from subtitles.
New --osd-bold and --sub-text-bold options can be enabled to bold all OSD or plain-text subtitle text, respectively.
Added a default keybind to the u key that enables/disables ASS style overriding. When enabled, is equivalent to --ass-style-override=force.
There is now a MOUSE_ENTER keybind, that is called when the mouse cursor enters the VO from outside.
The new --ytdl-params option can be set to arguments that are always given to youtube-dl invocations. There is no sanity checking, so invalid options can prevent mpv from working with http URLs.
There's a new --demuxer-mkv-fix-timestamps option, enabled by default, that tries to guess more accurate video timestamps by using FPS information, if available. See manual for details.
The new --window-scale option can be used to scale the video window by the specified multiplier, before other options such as --autofit are applied.
vo_direct3d_shaders now supports NV12 colorspace without using stretchrect, but it seems no drivers actually support that.
(Client API) Added a rescan_external_files command, as requested on issue #1586.
(Client API) If enabled, initializing the Client API will now also load the user's mpv.conf.
(Client API) There's a new mpv_opengl_cb_report_flip() call for API users to call to inform mpv of when exactly a frame was displayed.
(Client API) The mpv_opengl_cb_render() function was deprecated in favor of the new, simpler mpv_opengl_cb_draw() function.
(Client API) There is a new screenshot_raw command. See input.rst for details.
The --input-file argument may now also be a file descriptor in the form "fd://N", where N is the FD number.
vo_opengl features:
Added ewa_ginseng, ewa_hanning, robidoux, robidouxsharp, oversample and haasnsoft scalers.
There are now ewa_lanczossoft and ewa_lanczossharp aliases to ewa_lanczos that are tuned to be blurrier and sharper, respectively.
Added gamma-auto option that uses ambient light sensors to automatically adjust the video gamma. See commit c028d78 for details.
Added blend-subtitles option to draw subtitles directly into the video instead of rendered afterwards. Potentially necessary for correct rendering with files that use ASS subtitles for typesetting in combination with an icc-profile. There is a default option for drawing after upscaling, and a video option for drawing before upscaling. See details and warning on the manual.
There is now a tscale option, used to choose the temporal scaler used in the interpolation mode (previously smoothmotion).
There is a new scale-blur parameter to adjust the amount of blur that most of the filters produce. Deviating from the default may introduce artifacts in EWA filters.
(Windows) There is now a dwmflush option that might help improve rendering of high-fps video. Disabled by default. See manual for options.

New in mpv 0.8.3 (Mar 17, 2015)

New in mpv 0.8.2 (Feb 27, 2015)

New in mpv 0.8.1 (Feb 26, 2015)

New in mpv 0.8.0 (Feb 17, 2015)

Changes:
vo_opengl_old has been removed. OpenGL rendering now requires hardware that can do at least OpenGL 2.1, the oldest version supported by vo_opengl.
vf_pp has been removed. A version of it can still be accessed through lavfilter (e.g. --vf=lavfi=[pp...]), but it receives no QP information. Also, vf_dlopen no longer passes QP information to its loaded plugin either (it's always 0).
vf_softpulldown, vf_swapuv, vf_phase, vf_divtc and vf_ilpack have all been removed. Ports or alternative versions of these filters are available through libavfilter (vf_lavfi).
vf_pullup and vf_noise now are simply wrappers to their libavfilter equivalents. Both are only currently available on FFmpeg (not Libav).
ao_portaudio has been removed. There is good support for the native audio drivers of all major desktop platforms, as well as ao_sdl and ao_openal as fallbacks.
vo_opengl's lscale suboption has been renamed to scale; lradius is now scale-radius, lparam1 and lparam2 are now respectively scale-param1 and scale-param2; lscale-down is now scale-down. The cscale suboption remains as is.
Several of the vo_opengl radius-preset aliases supported by scale have been removed; use scale-radius to set if needed. For example, use --vo=opengl:scale=lanczos:scale-radius=2 instead of scale=lanczos2. The default radius is recommended for most filters.
vo_opengl no longer supports the stereo suboption. The anaglyph effect can be reproduced with the stereo3d filter. The quadbuffer support, which requires expensive specialized hardware to begin with, is removed.
The approx-gamma suboption to vo_opengl has been removed. The BT.1886 specification says that it's actually how it's supposed to be done so it is now the default when srgb or icc-profile are enabled. This does not include BT.1886's gamma drop.
The no-scale-sep and indirect suboptions to vo_opengl have been removed. These are now autodetected and enabled whenever they would have benefit.
The --lua and --lua-opts parameters / options are now called --script and --script-opts, respectively. The lua subdir of the mpv config dir is also now expected to be called scripts instead.
The --fixed-vo option has been removed. It has been the default for a long time anyway, and disabling fixed-vo is not useful.
vo_opengl_hq has been updated to take into account new features. fancy-downscaling and sigmoid-upscaling are enabled, "mitchell" is now the default for scale-down.
The sub-visibility OSD message is now clearer about whether subtitles are hidden or just not available / selected.
The device IDs given to --audio-device for use with ao_coreaudio now use UIDs, so they don't change when devices are added/removed or after reboots.
--msg-level now also accepts ',' as separator.
(Client API) The client API now refuses to initialize if the LC_NUMERIC locale is not "C".
(Client API) The native type of the msg-level parameter is now a key-value list. Setting or reading it as a string still works.
(Slave API) The get_property command is now deprecated.
Documentation updates.
PDF documentation is now disabled by default due to rst2pdf being fickle, causing weird build errors.
Print desync messages with negative A/V sync as well. While rare, it could happen with some uses of --autosync.
Bug fixes:
Multiple cdda:// fixes. (bugs #1555, #1560)
VP9 timestamps no longer cause "missing PTS" warnings with new enough FFmpeg builds.
Fix a crash when using H.264 hardware decoding on new enough libavcodecs. (bug #1587)
New features:
vo_opengl now supports frame blending to eliminate stuttering when the video framerate does not nicely match the display framerate through the smoothmotion suboption. This is not meant to artificially increase the video's FPS, so there is no "soap opera effect" or difficulties with some video types (e.g. anime).
vo_opengl now supports sigmoidal upscaling (e.g. for fullscreen), which reduces ringing induced by upscaling, enabled through the sigmoid-upscaling suboption.
vo_opengl now supports ewa_lanczos (Jinc) scaling, which provides higher quality with less aliasing. It supports an experimental scale-antiringing parameter, which tries to further reduce video ringing.
vo_opengl now has a linear-scaling suboption, that makes the scalers work in linear light. Implied by the srgb, icc-profile or the new sigmoid-upscaling suboption.
vo_opengl has improved downscaling for higher downscale ratios when fancy-downscaling is enabled.
Add --keep-open=always to make --keep-open apply to all files instead of only the last.
mpv now filters the tags that are printed on the console to try to hide useless metadata. The filter works as a whitelist, and can be configured with the --display-tags option.
Add a --sub-scale-by-window option that, when set to 'no', prevents subtitles from changing their pixel size when the window changes sizes.
vo_opengl now technically has GLES 2 and 3 support (but not GLES 1). GLES 3 support is only tested on Mesa's software emulation. GLES 2 has been tested on nvidia drivers. Both GLES modes are feature deficient and inefficient due to GLES limitations, so they should not be preferred over the standard OpenGL mode.
(X11) vo_opengl now supports the icc-profile-auto option on X11 hosts.
The 'A' key now by default cycles through a list of preset aspect ratios. Meant to be used to work around broken files.
There is now a "force" mode for --loop. Works like "inf", but tries to open files/streams even if there was an error on the previous attempt.
There is now a --log-file option to write mpv's log messages to a specifed file.
There is now a --audio-file-auto option to automatically load an external audio file with certain constraints. Will only load external audio if the playing file has a video stream. Set to "exact" by default. (bug #967)
There is now a --network-timeout option to specify a timeout in seconds for network access. If 0 (default), uses the libavformat default. If a protocol that doesn't support timeouts is used, this option is ignored.
(X11) The XF86 special keys are now all mappable in input.conf. All keys documented in XF86keysym.h are available, but only as their numeric codes.
(Linux) The DVB implementation now supports DVB-S2 through S2API.
(Linux) The VDR format for channels.conf is now supported and preferred. See http://linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Syntax_of_channels.conf for the syntax. Tuning to DVB-S2 channels requires the VDR-format channels.conf.
(Linux) There is now a --dvbin-full-transponder option for handling special broadcast cases where PIDs switch, or just to work around incomplete PID data.
(Client API) There is now an opengl_cb VO, which receives the OpenGL context from the libmpv client. This allows a client to render libmpv video directly to a provided OpenGL context without having to use --wid embedding.
(Client API) The aforementioned --wid parameter can now be set at any time, but has no effect if a file is already loaded.
(Client API) The list of DVD titles can now be queried.
(Client API) There is now a filtered-metadata property, containing only the tags allowed by --display-tags.
(Client API) There is now support for XEmbed --wid targets, such as a GtkSocket's gtk_socket_get_id().
(Client API) There is now a file-format property with a symbolic name for the file format. In some cases this might be a comma separated list of various different extensions due to libavformat idiosyncrasies.
(Client API) There is now a mouse command for generating mouse events over the video window.
(Client API) There is now a partially-seekable property that indicates whether a file is only considered seekable because of the stream cache, but would not be seekable otherwise (e.g. realtime stream, or HTTP with no resume support). Small relative seeks may be fine, but larger seeks will likely fail.
(Client API) There is now an MPV_EVENT_QUEUE_OVERFLOW event that is posted whenever events have to be dropped because the queue is full. No further events are posted until the MPV_EVENT_QUEUE_OVERFLOW is consumed to avoid duplicated posting.
(Client API) There is now a helper mpv_wait_async_requests() function that blocks until all known async requests have completed. (bug #1542)
(Client API) There is now a detected-hwdec property that returns the detected hardware decoder when one is successfully opened. This probably only returns a valid value after playback has started.
(Client API) There are now audio_add, audio_remove and audio_reload counterparts to the equivalent sub_ commands for handling external audio files.

New in mpv 0.7.3 (Jan 27, 2015)

Changes:
Several documentation updates and typo fixes.
Don't show "0%" position when the stream is infinite / has unknown length.
Fixes the config file loading order so that lower priority mpv.conf files don't override higher priority config files.
(OSX) Remove coreaudio_exclusive from the "auto" codec list.
Failing to create a GL3 context is now a warning instead of error, to reduce user confusion.
The subtitle decoder now gets reset when cycling subtitles. This makes the currently shown subtitle event disappear even if cycling back to the current subtitle track.
--shuffle and --merge-files now affects the contents of playlist files, instead of just the list of files given as arguments to mpv.
./waf install avoids installing a few additional data/config files if only libmpv was built.
Improved channel mapping when the file's channel map doesn't match the AO's available channel maps.
(OSX) VDA now gracefully refuses to run on non-OpenGL3-capable systems instead of trying and failing to build its shaders.
Add workaround for vf_vapoursynth filters that expect an FPS.
The default value for --screenshot-template now shows up in --list-options.
ao_pulse's latency-hacks suboption is now off by default, as it causes issues with newer pulseaudio releases. If A/V Sync issues happen, either add the latency-hacks=on pulse suboption in mpv.conf, or update the pulseaudio daemon (bug #1430).
(Linux) ao_alsa now deals better with audio device disconnection.
Client API: timestamp properties that have no value return "no" instead of magic number.
Bug fixes:
(Windows, OSX) Many ao_wasapi and ao_coreaudio fixes.
(OSX) Make the window title update correctly on OS X Yosemite.
Fixes for handling mono audio on various AOs.
(Linux) Fixes resuming from suspend on ao_alsa.
Fixes for playlist file parsing.
Overly long options in the --list-options output now break the column layout instead of getting truncated; fixes shell completion scripts.
Fix rendering resolution of certain DVB subtitles (bug #1425).
Fix EDL or --merge-files breaking timestamps with .avi files.
Workaround for libavcodec bug with the VP9 codec parser (bug #1448), fixes possible crash.
Improve robustness of the matroska parser with broken files (bugs #1457, #1461).
Improve 10bit video compatibility with older GPUs (specially Intel) (bug #1383).
Fixes flashing the VO window when playing a list of files that includes non-media files (bug #1459).
Workaround for window embedding in OpenBox (bug #1235)
Fixes for several crashes and lockups (bugs #838, #1389, #1408, #1463, #1473, #1474).
Fixes for the zsh completion script (bugs #997)
New features:
mpv now prints the contents of its config.h when running in verbose mode, to aid with debugging.
The include= option now accepts ~ to refer to the HOME dir (bug #1406).
af_volume now prints ReplayGain values in verbose mode.
m3u playlists that don't have the #EXTM3U header are now accepted if they "look like" ASCII or UTF-8 text and have the .m3u extension.
Chapter marks in the seek bar now update when switching files.
Supports embedded cover art in MKV files (bug #1374).
(Windows) Video window can now be resized even with --no-border.
(Windows) Client API: the "run" command now works on Windows too.
(Linux) vo_wayland now supports key modifiers (Meta, Alt, Control, Shift)
Client API: "display-names" property is now observable.

New in mpv 0.7.2 (Dec 23, 2014)

New in mpv 0.7.1 (Dec 3, 2014)

New in mpv 0.7.0 (Nov 26, 2014)

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).

New in mpv 0.6.2 (Oct 25, 2014)

New in mpv 0.6.1 (Oct 13, 2014)

New in mpv 0.6.0 (Oct 1, 2014)

Changes:
Map ESC to exiting fullscreen.
Run the vo inside its own thread.
Enable the demuxer thread by default.
Prefer the opengl vo over the vdpau one.
Complete profile names in the zsh completion script.
Raise dsound ao buffer size to 200ms and make it configurable.
Bind ctrl+c to quit, so that it works both in the terminal and the player window.
Automatically load playlists without needing --load-unsafe-playlists or --playlist. Unsafe URLs are still rejected (e.g. remote playlists can't load local files).
Remove quvi-format property (which never really worked).
Wait until all Lua scripts are loaded on start.
Use separate threads for input sources (terminal, lirc, joystick) instead of using a central I/O loop.
Complete values for options that take file names in the zsh completion script.
Use libwaio for pipe input on Windows (if you want --input-file to work on Windows you need libwaio as an additional dependency).
Remove the --volstep option (users should change the argument to the "add" function in input.conf instead).
Always show the OSD message when changing volume, gamma, panscan, etc along with the OSD bar.
When changing a property always show it on the OSD (except for "pause" and "fullscreen").
Prefer the libavcodec decoder over libmpg123 for mp3 decoding (ffmpeg/libav support for gapless audio works better for mpv's use-case).
Allow passing number of loops to --loop-file.
Change --keep-open option semantics to not terminate the player when playing or seeking past the end of the file and there's no next file to be played.
Disable the sndio ao by default and prefer other outputs even if it's enabled.
New features:
Add new framedrop mode that limits the frequency of new video frames displayed based on the display framerate (this is enabled by default, the old decoder-based mode can be enabled with --framedrop=decoder).
Add --demuxer-readahead-secs option to control the readahead buffer using a duration value.
Add estimated-frame-count and estimated-frame-number properties.
Add --cache-secs option which overrides the value of --demuxer-readahead-secs if the stream cache is active.
Add demuxer-cache-duration and demuxer-cache-idle properties.
Make --cache-file create a temporary file if the string "TMP" is passed instead of a file name.
Add support for Matroska 3D (if a file is marked as 3D using the StereoMode element, an automatic conversion filter is added).
Add --osd-playing-msg option to show a message on the OSD when the playback starts.
Add --media-title option to force the content of the media-title property.
Add --osd-msg1, --osd-msg2 and --osd-msg3 options to override the OSD message for the corresponding OSD level (before only level 3 could be overridden with --osd-status-message).
Add support for digital passthrough in the pulse ao.
Add support for opening DVD and Blu-ray directories directly.
Add --input-x11-keyboard option to control whether keyboard input should be enabled on the X11 window ot not (this is disabled by default when using the libmpv library).

CHANGES:
Support setting the start time relative to the start PTS with --start.
Use /dev/sr0 as default cdrom/dvd device on Linux.
Change "cache" property representation to float.
Split the ao_coreaudio audio output into ao_coreaudio (which uses the AudioUnits and the CoreAudio sound server) and ao_coreaudio_device (which uses direct device access).
Complete supported URL schemes in the zsh completion script.
Enable compiler optimizations (-O2) during build.
Allow precise seeking with percent-based seeks too.
Do precise seeks when clicking on the OSC seekbar.
Remove support for older VDA hwaccel versions on Mac OS X (requires recent versions of ffmpeg/libav).
Remove the last remains of slave mode (--slave-broken option). Support for reading input commands from stdin can be emulated using: --input-terminal=no --input-file=/dev/stdin.
Make it possible to build the client API (libmpv) on Mac OS X.
Do necessary checks for nested Wayland compositors which only have limited interfaces.
The options in the manpage have been re-organized into sections and ordered by usage to make it easier to navigate.
The "hard" framedrop mode has been removed (this behaviour is still available via the --vd-lavc-framedrop option).
Show the basename of a subtitle file only (without the directory part).
Some key binding were remapped or removed:
"LEFT" and "RIGHT" have been remapped to seek 5 seconds instead of 10.
"c" for changing the YUV color space was unmapped.
OSD level cycling has been remapped from "o" to "O".
"o" is now mapped to the show_progress command (like "P").
"PGUP" and "PGDWN" have been remapped to chapter-based seeks (the old bindings "@" and "!" are still available). The old behvaiour has been remapped to "Shift+PGUP" and "Shift+PGDWM".
Increasing/decreasing audio delay have been remapped from "+" and "-" to "Ctrl++" and "Ctrl+-".
"(" and ")" for adjusting audio balance have been unmapped.
"F" for toggling the "sub-forced-only" option has been unmapped.
"TAB" for cycling TS programs has been unmapped.
"A" for cycling DVD angle has been unmapped.
"U" for stopping playback has been unmapped.
"l" and "L" for cycling quvi format have been unmapped.
BUG FIXES:
Use a default color space for files with no video (this fixes color managed OSD messages when no video channel is present).
Fix key equivalent dispatching for Cocoa on Mac OS X.
Disable non-interleaved audio formats by default with ao_alsa, since some ALSA plugins don't cope well with them (non-interleaved formats can still be enabled using the "non-interleaved" ao_alsa option).
Fix deadlock in the client API when calling mpv_terminate_destroy() before mpv_initialize().
Fix flushing of filter chain (this fixes a bug where the last frames would get dropped on EOF, if buffered by filters).
Actually use the channels.conf configuration file for DVB.
Restore the --dvbin-file option.
Fix off by one error in the command parser which caused a segfault when using the mp.commandv() Lua function with 10 or more arguments.
NEW FEATURES:
Search for config files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS in addition to ~/.mpv. The config file has also been renamed to mpv.conf (although the old file still works and will be loaded even if the new one exists).
Add "playback-time" property that returns the current playback time always starting at 0. This is now used to show the playback time in the OSD and the status line, fixing the shown playback time for transport streams that start at a completely random timestamp.
Add cache-related "cache-free", "cache-used" and "cache-idle" properties.
Add option to list supported protocols (--list-protocols).
Allow setting libavformat stream options with the --stream-lavf-o option.
Support running the demuxer in a separate thread and prefetch packets (this can be enabled using the --demuxer-thread option).
