These are ancient and not useful anymore.
The version notices are kept under:
overlay-add: handled by #17520
end-file's file_error: the notice should be removed when updating error
field like suggested there
time-start: this should just be removed
~/.mpv/: needed to understand why this is used
--aid: needed to understand the following paragraphs
fd4e3af740 originally started installing
it, and we've been doing it ever since then. The value of having all of
these encoding profiles predefined by default is pretty dubious since a
lot of them are pretty old ('MP4 for Nokia N900' being a shining
example) and mpv is not really a good encoding tool anyways. Let's treat
it like the other conf files in etc and install it in the data directory
for reference. If someone really uses these, they can copy the file over
locally to their mpv config directory and it'll still work fine.
It used to use the "encoding" section. Change this to the default
section to remove another small special case. encoding-profiles.conf
didn't use this by default anyway. The previous revert could mitigate
potential impacts of this a little.
Often, user configs set options that are not suitable for encoding.
Usually, playback and encoding are pretty different things, so it makes
sense to keep them strictly separate. There are several possible
solutions. The approach taken by this commit is to basically ignore the
default config settings, and switch to an [encoding] config profile
section instead. This also makes it impossible to have --o in a config
file, because --o enables encode mode.
See github issue #727 for discussion.
This is probably useful.
Note that this includes a small, stupid hack to prevent loading of the
config file if vf_lavfi is not available. The profile by default uses
vf_lavfi, and the config parser will output errors if vf_lavfi is not
available.
As another caveat, we install the example profile even if encoding is
disabled (though we don't load it, since this would print errors).
Simply removed the assumption that the user is using `mpv-build`. Now provide 3
lines of shell that can be copy-pasted by the user for instant gratification
(and independent from $PWD).
The option is -no-video. Remove the deprecated "fast" suboption, which
did nothing and instructed the user to use "-novideo" instead.
Fix a reference to -novideo in encoding.rst.
Add a "generic" entry about -no-* to the list of renamed options. The
change is already explicitly mentioned in the text above the table, but
even if it's redundant, it makes it harder to overlook.
This changes the name of this project to mpv. Most user-visible mentions
of "MPlayer" and "mplayer" are changed to "mpv". The binary name and the
default config file location are changed as well.
The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/
Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI,
which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago.
We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require
one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is.
Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts. These contained outdated
dependencies and likely were more harmful than useful. (Patches which
add working and well-tested packaging are welcome.)
