This file lists all changes that can cause compatibility issues when usingmpv through the client API (libmpv and ``client.h``). Since the client APIinterfaces to input handling (commands, properties) as well as command lineoptions, you should also look at ``interface-changes.rst``.
Normally, changes to the C API that are incompatible to previous iterationsreceive a major version bump (i.e. the first version number is increased),while C API additions bump the minor version (i.e. the second number isincreased). Changes to properties/commands/options may also lead to a minorversion bump, in particular if they are incompatible.
The version number is the same as used for MPV_CLIENT_API_VERSION (see``client.h`` how to convert between major/minor version numbers and the flat32 bit integer).
Also, read the section ``Compatibility`` in ``client.h``.
Options, commands, properties=============================
Changes to these are not listed here, but in ``interface-changes.rst``. (Beforeclient API version 1.17, they were listed here partially.)
This listing includes changes to the bare C API and behavior only, not whatyou can access with them.
API changes===========
::
--- mpv 0.28.0 --- 1.26 - remove glMPGetNativeDisplay("drm") support - add mpv_opengl_cb_window_pos and mpv_opengl_cb_drm_params and support via glMPGetNativeDisplay() for using it - make --stop-playback-on-init-failure=no the default in libmpv (just like in mpv CLI) --- mpv 0.27.0 --- 1.25 - remove setting "no-" options via mpv_set_option*(). (See corresponding deprecation in 0.23.0.) --- mpv 0.25.0 --- 1.24 - add a MPV_ENABLE_DEPRECATED preprocessor symbol, which can be defined by the user to exclude deprecated API symbols from the C headers --- mpv 0.23.0 --- 1.24 - the deprecated mpv_suspend() and mpv_resume() APIs now do nothing. --- mpv 0.22.0 --- 1.23 - deprecate setting "no-" options via mpv_set_option*(). For example, instead of "no-video=" you should set "video=no". - do not override the SIGPIPE signal handler anymore. This was done as workaround for the FFmpeg TLS code, which has been fixed long ago. - deprecate mpv_suspend() and mpv_resume(). They will be stubbed out in mpv 0.23.0. - make mpv_set_property() work to some degree before mpv_initialize(). It can now be used instead of mpv_set_option(). - semi-deprecate mpv_set_option()/mpv_set_option_string(). You should use mpv_set_property() instead. There are some deprecated properties which conflict with some options (see client.h remarks on mpv_set_option()), for which mpv_set_option() might still be required. In future mpv releases, the conflicting deprecated options/properties will be removed, and mpv_set_option() will internally translate API calls to mpv_set_property(). - qthelper.hpp: deprecate get_property_variant, set_property_variant, set_option_variant, command_variant, and replace them with get_property, set_property, command. --- mpv 0.19.0 --- 1.22 - add stream_cb API for custom protocols --- mpv 0.18.1 --- ---- - remove "status" log level from mpv_request_log_messages() docs. This is 100% equivalent to "v". The behavior is still the same, thus no actual API change. --- mpv 0.18.0 --- 1.21 - mpv_set_property() changes behavior with MPV_FORMAT_NODE. Before this change it rejected mpv_nodes with format==MPV_FORMAT_STRING if the property was not a string or did not have special mechanisms in place the function failed. Now it always invokes the option string parser, and mpv_node with a basic data type works exactly as if the function is invoked with that type directly. This new behavior is equivalent to mpv_set_option(). This also affects the mp.set_property_native() Lua function. - generally, setting choice options/properties with "yes"/"no" options can now be set as MPV_FORMAT_FLAG - reading a choice property as MPV_FORMAT_NODE will now return a MPV_FORMAT_FLAG value if the choice is "yes" (true) or "no" (false) This implicitly affects Lua and JSON IPC interfaces as well. - big changes to vo-cmdline on vo_opengl and vo_opengl_hq (but not vo_opengl_cb): options are now normally not reset, but applied on top of the current options. The special undocumented value "-" still works, but now resets all options to before any vo-cmdline command has been called. --- mpv 0.12.0 --- 1.20 - deprecate "GL_MP_D3D_interfaces"/"glMPGetD3DInterface", and introduce "GL_MP_MPGetNativeDisplay"/"glMPGetNativeDisplay" (this is a backwards-compatible rename) --- mpv 0.11.0 --- --- mpv 0.10.0 --- 1.19 - add "GL_MP_D3D_interfaces" pseudo extension to make it possible to use DXVA2 in OpenGL fullscreen mode in some situations - mpv_request_log_messages() now accepts "terminal-default" as parameter 1.18 - add MPV_END_FILE_REASON_REDIRECT, and change behavior of MPV_EVENT_END_FILE accordingly - a bunch of interface-changes.rst changes 1.17 - mpv_initialize() now blocks SIGPIPE (details see client.h) --- mpv 0.9.0 --- 1.16 - add mpv_opengl_cb_report_flip() - introduce mpv_opengl_cb_draw() and deprecate mpv_opengl_cb_render() - add MPV_FORMAT_BYTE_ARRAY 1.15 - mpv_initialize() will now load config files. This requires setting the "config" and "config-dir" options. In particular, it will load mpv.conf. - minor backwards-compatible change to the "seek" and "screenshot" commands (new flag syntax, old additional args deprecated) --- mpv 0.8.0 --- 1.14 - add mpv_wait_async_requests() - the --msg-level option changes its native type from a flat string to a key-value list (setting/reading the option as string still works) 1.13 - add MPV_EVENT_QUEUE_OVERFLOW 1.12 - add class Handle to qthelper.hpp - improve opengl_cb.h API uninitialization behavior, and fix the qml example - add mpv_create_client() function 1.11 - add OpenGL rendering interop API - allows an application to combine its own and mpv's OpenGL rendering Warning: this API is not stable yet - anything in opengl_cb.h might be changed in completely incompatible ways in minor API bumps --- mpv 0.7.0 --- 1.10 - deprecate/disable everything directly related to script_dispatch (most likely affects nobody) 1.9 - add enum mpv_end_file_reason for mpv_event_end_file.reason - add MPV_END_FILE_REASON_ERROR and the mpv_event_end_file.error field for slightly better error reporting on playback failure - add --stop-playback-on-init-failure option, and make it the default behavior for libmpv only - add qthelper.hpp set_option_variant() - mark the following events as deprecated: MPV_EVENT_TRACKS_CHANGED MPV_EVENT_TRACK_SWITCHED MPV_EVENT_PAUSE MPV_EVENT_UNPAUSE MPV_EVENT_METADATA_UPDATE MPV_EVENT_CHAPTER_CHANGE They are handled better with mpv_observe_property() as mentioned in the documentation comments. They are not removed and still work. 1.8 - add qthelper.hpp 1.7 - add mpv_command_node(), mpv_command_node_async() 1.6 - modify "core-idle" property behavior - MPV_EVENT_LOG_MESSAGE now always sends complete lines - introduce numeric log levels (mpv_log_level) --- mpv 0.6.0 --- 1.5 - change in X11 and "--wid" behavior again. The previous change didn't work as expected, and now the behavior can be explicitly controlled with the "input-x11-keyboard" option. This is only a temporary measure until XEmbed is implemented and confirmed working. Note: in 1.6, "input-x11-keyboard" was renamed to "input-vo-keyboard", although the old option name still works. 1.4 - subtle change in X11 and "--wid" behavior (this change was added to 0.5.2, and broke some things, see #1090) --- mpv 0.5.0 --- 1.3 - add MPV_MAKE_VERSION() 1.2 - remove "stream-time-pos" property (no replacement) 1.1 - remap dvdnav:// to dvd:// - add "--cache-file", "--cache-file-size" - add "--colormatrix-primaries" (and property) - add "primaries" sub-field to image format properties - add "playback-time" property - extend the "--start" option; a leading "+", which was previously insignificant is now significant - add "cache-free" and "cache-used" properties - OSX: the "coreaudio" AO spdif code is split into a separate AO --- mpv 0.4.0 --- 1.0 - the API is declared stable
