All options except \fIflag\fP options (or -+choice options which include \fByes\fP) require a parameter in the form -+\fB\-\-option=value\fP\&. -+.sp -+One exception is the lone \fB\-\fP (without anything else), which means media data -+will be read from stdin. Also, \fB\-\-\fP (without anything else) will make the -+player interpret all following arguments as filenames, even if they start with -+\fB\-\fP\&. (To play a file named \fB\-\fP, you need to use \fB\&./\-\fP\&.) -+.sp -+Every \fIflag\fP option has a \fIno\-flag\fP counterpart, e.g. the opposite of the -+\fB\-\-fs\fP option is \fB\-\-no\-fs\fP\&. \fB\-\-fs=yes\fP is same as \fB\-\-fs\fP, \fB\-\-fs=no\fP -+is the same as \fB\-\-no\-fs\fP\&. -+.sp -+If an option is marked as \fI(XXX only)\fP, it will only work in combination with -+the \fIXXX\fP option or if \fIXXX\fP is compiled in. -+.SS Legacy option syntax -+.sp -+The \fB\-\-option=value\fP syntax is not strictly enforced, and the alternative -+legacy syntax \fB\-option value\fP and \fB\-\-option value\fP will also work. This is -+mostly for compatibility with MPlayer. Using these should be avoided. Their -+semantics can change any time in the future. -+.sp -+For example, the alternative syntax will consider an argument following the -+option a filename. \fBmpv \-fs no\fP will attempt to play a file named \fBno\fP, -+because \fB\-\-fs\fP is a flag option that requires no parameter. If an option -+changes and its parameter becomes optional, then a command line using the -+alternative syntax will break. -+.sp -+Currently, the parser makes no difference whether an option starts with \fB\-\-\fP -+or a single \fB\-\fP\&. This might also change in the future, and \fB\-\-option value\fP -+might always interpret \fBvalue\fP as filename in order to reduce ambiguities. -+.SS Escaping spaces and other special characters -+.sp -+Keep in mind that the shell will partially parse and mangle the arguments you -+pass to mpv. For example, you might need to quote or escape options and -+filenames: -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+\fBmpv "filename with spaces.mkv" \-\-title="window title"\fP -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.sp -+It gets more complicated if the suboption parser is involved. The suboption -+parser puts several options into a single string, and passes them to a -+component at once, instead of using multiple options on the level of the -+command line. -+.sp -+The suboption parser can quote strings with \fB"\fP and \fB[...]\fP\&. -+Additionally, there is a special form of quoting with \fB%n%\fP described below. -+.sp -+For example, assume the hypothetical \fBfoo\fP filter can take multiple options: -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+\fBmpv test.mkv \-\-vf=foo:option1=value1:option2:option3=value3,bar\fP -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.sp -+This passes \fBoption1\fP and \fBoption3\fP to the \fBfoo\fP filter, with \fBoption2\fP -+as flag (implicitly \fBoption2=yes\fP), and adds a \fBbar\fP filter after that. If -+an option contains spaces or characters like \fB,\fP or \fB:\fP, you need to quote -+them: -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+\fBmpv \(aq\-\-vf=foo:option1="option value with spaces",bar\(aq\fP -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.sp -+Shells may actually strip some quotes from the string passed to the commandline, -+so the example quotes the string twice, ensuring that mpv receives the \fB"\fP -+quotes. -+.sp -+The \fB[...]\fP form of quotes wraps everything between \fB[\fP and \fB]\fP\&. It\(aqs -+useful with shells that don\(aqt interpret these characters in the middle of -+an argument (like bash). These quotes are balanced (since mpv 0.9.0): the \fB[\fP -+and \fB]\fP nest, and the quote terminates on the last \fB]\fP that has no matching -+\fB[\fP within the string. (For example, \fB[a[b]c]\fP results in \fBa[b]c\fP\&.) -+.sp -+The fixed\-length quoting syntax is intended for use with external -+scripts and programs. -+.sp -+It is started with \fB%\fP and has the following format: -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+.sp -+.nf -+.ft C -+%n%string_of_length_n -+.ft P -+.fi -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+.IP "Examples" -+.sp -+\fBmpv \(aq\-\-vf=foo:option1=%11%quoted text\(aq test.avi\fP -+.sp -+Or in a script: -+.sp -+\fBmpv \-\-vf=foo:option1=%\(gaexpr length "$NAME"\(ga%"$NAME" test.avi\fP -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.sp -+Suboptions passed to the client API are also subject to escaping. Using -+\fBmpv_set_option_string()\fP is exactly like passing \fB\-\-name=data\fP to the -+command line (but without shell processing of the string). Some options -+support passing values in a more structured way instead of flat strings, and -+can avoid the suboption parsing mess. For example, \fB\-\-vf\fP supports -+\fBMPV_FORMAT_NODE\fP, which lets you pass suboptions as a nested data structure -+of maps and arrays. -+.SS Paths -+.sp -+Some care must be taken when passing arbitrary paths and filenames to mpv. For -+example, paths starting with \fB\-\fP will be interpreted as options. Likewise, -+if a path contains the sequence \fB://\fP, the string before that might be -+interpreted as protocol prefix, even though \fB://\fP can be part of a legal -+UNIX path. To avoid problems with arbitrary paths, you should be sure that -+absolute paths passed to mpv start with \fB/\fP, and prefix relative paths with -+\fB\&./\fP\&. -+.sp -+Using the \fBfile://\fP pseudo\-protocol is discouraged, because it involves -+strange URL unescaping rules. -+.sp -+The name \fB\-\fP itself is interpreted as stdin, and will cause mpv to disable -+console controls. (Which makes it suitable for playing data piped to stdin.) -+.sp -+The special argument \fB\-\-\fP can be used to stop mpv from interpreting the -+following arguments as options. -+.sp -+When using the client API, you should strictly avoid using \fBmpv_command_string\fP -+for invoking the \fBloadfile\fP command, and instead prefer e.g. \fBmpv_command\fP -+to avoid the need for filename escaping. -+.sp -+For paths passed to suboptions, the situation is further complicated by the -+need to escape special characters. To work this around, the path can be -+additionally wrapped in the fixed\-length syntax, e.g. \fB%n%string_of_length_n\fP -+(see above). -+.sp -+Some mpv options interpret paths starting with \fB~\fP\&. Currently, the prefix -+\fB~~/\fP expands to the mpv configuration directory (usually \fB~/.config/mpv/\fP). -+\fB~/\fP expands to the user\(aqs home directory. (The trailing \fB/\fP is always -+required.) There are the following paths as well: -+.TS -+center; -+|l|l|. -+_ -+T{ -+Name -+T} T{ -+Meaning -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\fB~~home/\fP -+T} T{ -+same as \fB~~/\fP -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\fB~~global/\fP -+T} T{ -+the global config path, if available (not on win32) -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\fB~~osxbundle/\fP -+T} T{ -+the OSX bundle resource path (OSX only) -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\fB~~desktop/\fP -+T} T{ -+the path to the desktop (win32, OSX) -+T} -+_ -+.TE -+.SS Per\-File Options -+.sp -+When playing multiple files, any option given on the command line usually -+affects all files. Example: -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+.sp -+.nf -+.ft C -+mpv \-\-a file1.mkv \-\-b file2.mkv \-\-c -+.ft P -+.fi -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.TS -+center; -+|l|l|. -+_ -+T{ -+File -+T} T{ -+Active options -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+file1.mkv -+T} T{ -+\fB\-\-a \-\-b \-\-c\fP -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+file2.mkv -+T} T{ -+\fB\-\-a \-\-b \-\-c\fP -+T} -+_ -+.TE -+.sp -+(This is different from MPlayer and mplayer2.) -+.sp -+Also, if any option is changed at runtime (via input commands), they are not -+reset when a new file is played. -+.sp -+Sometimes, it is useful to change options per\-file. This can be achieved by -+adding the special per\-file markers \fB\-\-{\fP and \fB\-\-}\fP\&. (Note that you must -+escape these on some shells.) Example: -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+.sp -+.nf -+.ft C -+mpv \-\-a file1.mkv \-\-b \-\-\e{ \-\-c file2.mkv \-\-d file3.mkv \-\-e \-\-\e} file4.mkv \-\-f -+.ft P -+.fi -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.TS -+center; -+|l|l|. -+_ -+T{ -+File -+T} T{ -+Active options -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+file1.mkv -+T} T{ -+\fB\-\-a \-\-b \-\-f\fP -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+file2.mkv -+T} T{ -+\fB\-\-a \-\-b \-\-f \-\-c \-\-d \-\-e\fP -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+file3.mkv -+T} T{ -+\fB\-\-a \-\-b \-\-f \-\-c \-\-d \-\-e\fP -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+file4.mkv -+T} T{ -+\fB\-\-a \-\-b \-\-f\fP -+T} -+_ -+.TE -+.sp -+Additionally, any file\-local option changed at runtime is reset when the current -+file stops playing. If option \fB\-\-c\fP is changed during playback of -+\fBfile2.mkv\fP, it is reset when advancing to \fBfile3.mkv\fP\&. This only affects -+file\-local options. The option \fB\-\-a\fP is never reset here. -+.SS List Options -+.sp -+Some options which store lists of option values can have action suffixes. For -+example, you can set a \fB,\fP\-separated list of filters with \fB\-\-vf\fP, but the -+option also allows you to append filters with \fB\-\-vf\-append\fP\&. -+.sp -+Options for filenames do not use \fB,\fP as separator, but \fB:\fP (Unix) or \fB;\fP -+(Windows). -+.TS -+center; -+|l|l|. -+_ -+T{ -+Suffix -+T} T{ -+Meaning -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\-add -+T} T{ -+Append 1 or more items (may become alias for \-append) -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\-append -+T} T{ -+Append single item (avoids need for escaping) -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\-clr -+T} T{ -+Clear the option -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\-del -+T} T{ -+Delete an existing item by integer index -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\-pre -+T} T{ -+Prepend 1 or more items -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\-set -+T} T{ -+Set a list of items -+T} -+_ -+.TE -+.sp -+Although some operations allow specifying multiple \fB,\fP\-separated items, using -+this is strongly discouraged and deprecated, except for \fB\-set\fP\&. -+.sp -+Without suffix, the action taken is normally \fB\-set\fP\&. -+.sp -+Some options (like \fB\-\-sub\-file\fP, \fB\-\-audio\-file\fP, \fB\-\-opengl\-shader\fP) are -+aliases for the proper option with \fB\-append\fP action. For example, -+\fB\-\-sub\-file\fP is an alias for \fB\-\-sub\-files\-append\fP\&. -+.SS Playing DVDs -+.sp -+DVDs can be played with the \fBdvd://[title]\fP syntax. The optional -+title specifier is a number which selects between separate video -+streams on the DVD. If no title is given (\fBdvd://\fP) then the longest -+title is selected automatically by the library. This is usually what -+you want. mpv does not support DVD menus. -+.sp -+DVDs which have been copied on to a hard drive or other mounted -+filesystem (by e.g. the \fBdvdbackup\fP tool) are accommodated by -+specifying the path to the local copy: \fB\-\-dvd\-device=PATH\fP\&. -+Alternatively, running \fBmpv PATH\fP should auto\-detect a DVD directory -+tree and play the longest title. -+.sp -+\fBNOTE:\fP -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+DVD library choices -+.sp -+mpv uses a different default DVD library than MPlayer. MPlayer -+uses libdvdread by default, and mpv uses libdvdnav by default. -+Both libraries are developed in parallel, but libdvdnav is -+intended to support more sophisticated DVD features such as menus -+and multi\-angle playback. mpv uses libdvdnav for files specified -+as either \fBdvd://...\fP or \fBdvdnav://...\fP\&. To use libdvdread, -+which will produce behavior more like MPlayer, specify -+\fBdvdread://...\fP instead. Some users have experienced problems -+when using libdvdnav, in which playback gets stuck in a DVD menu -+stream. These problems are reported to go away when auto\-selecting -+the title (\fBdvd://\fP rather than \fBdvd://1\fP) or when using -+libdvdread (e.g. \fBdvdread://0\fP). There are also outstanding bugs -+in libdvdnav with seeking backwards and forwards in a video -+stream. Specify \fBdvdread://...\fP to fix such problems. -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.sp -+\fBNOTE:\fP -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+DVD subtitles -+.sp -+DVDs use image\-based subtitles. Image subtitles are implemented as -+a bitmap video stream which can be superimposed over the main -+movie. mpv\(aqs subtitle styling and positioning options and keyboard -+shortcuts generally do not work with image\-based subtitles. -+Exceptions include options like \fB\-\-stretch\-dvd\-subs\fP and -+\fB\-\-stretch\-image\-subs\-to\-screen\fP\&. -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.SH CONFIGURATION FILES -+.SS Location and Syntax -+.sp -+You can put all of the options in configuration files which will be read every -+time mpv is run. The system\-wide configuration file \(aqmpv.conf\(aq is in your -+configuration directory (e.g. \fB/etc/mpv\fP or \fB/usr/local/etc/mpv\fP), the -+user\-specific one is \fB~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf\fP\&. For details and platform -+specifics (in particular Windows paths) see the \fI\%FILES\fP section. -+.sp -+User\-specific options override system\-wide options and options given on the -+command line override either. The syntax of the configuration files is -+\fBoption=value\fP\&. Everything after a \fI#\fP is considered a comment. Options -+that work without values can be enabled by setting them to \fIyes\fP and disabled by -+setting them to \fIno\fP\&. Even suboptions can be specified in this way. -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+.IP "Example configuration file" -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+.sp -+.nf -+.ft C -+# Use opengl video output by default. -+vo=opengl -+# Use quotes for text that can contain spaces: -+status\-msg="Time: ${time\-pos}" -+.ft P -+.fi -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.SS Escaping spaces and special characters -+.sp -+This is done like with command line options. The shell is not involved here, -+but option values still need to be quoted as a whole if it contains certain -+characters like spaces. A config entry can be quoted with \fB"\fP, -+as well as with the fixed\-length syntax (\fB%n%\fP) mentioned before. This is like -+passing the exact contents of the quoted string as command line option. C\-style -+escapes are currently _not_ interpreted on this level, although some options do -+this manually. (This is a mess and should probably be changed at some point.) -+.SS Putting Command Line Options into the Configuration File -+.sp -+Almost all command line options can be put into the configuration file. Here -+is a small guide: -+.TS -+center; -+|l|l|. -+_ -+T{ -+Option -+T} T{ -+Configuration file entry -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\fB\-\-flag\fP -+T} T{ -+\fBflag\fP -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\fB\-opt val\fP -+T} T{ -+\fBopt=val\fP -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\fB\-\-opt=val\fP -+T} T{ -+\fBopt=val\fP -+T} -+_ -+T{ -+\fB\-opt "has spaces"\fP -+T} T{ -+\fBopt="has spaces"\fP -+T} -+_ -+.TE -+.SS File\-specific Configuration Files -+.sp -+You can also write file\-specific configuration files. If you wish to have a -+configuration file for a file called \(aqvideo.avi\(aq, create a file named -+\(aqvideo.avi.conf\(aq with the file\-specific options in it and put it in -+\fB~/.config/mpv/\fP\&. You can also put the configuration file in the same directory -+as the file to be played. Both require you to set the \fB\-\-use\-filedir\-conf\fP -+option (either on the command line or in your global config file). If a -+file\-specific configuration file is found in the same directory, no -+file\-specific configuration is loaded from \fB~/.config/mpv\fP\&. In addition, the -+\fB\-\-use\-filedir\-conf\fP option enables directory\-specific configuration files. -+For this, mpv first tries to load a mpv.conf from the same directory -+as the file played and then tries to load any file\-specific configuration. -+.SS Profiles -+.sp -+To ease working with different configurations, profiles can be defined in the -+configuration files.

Since it\(aqs added to the end, don\(aqt name scripts you want to import -+the same as Lua libraries because they will be overshadowed by them. -+.sp -+mpv provides the built\-in module \fBmp\fP, which contains functions to send -+commands to the mpv core and to retrieve information about playback state, user -+settings, file information, and so on. -+.sp -+These scripts can be used to control mpv in a similar way to slave mode. -+Technically, the Lua code uses the client API internally. -+.SS Example -+.sp -+A script which leaves fullscreen mode when the player is paused: -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+.sp -+.nf -+.ft C -+function on_pause_change(name, value) -+ if value == true then -+ mp.set_property("fullscreen", "no") -+ end -+end -+mp.observe_property("pause", "bool", on_pause_change) -+.ft P -+.fi -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.SS Details on the script initialization and lifecycle -+.sp -+Your script will be loaded by the player at program start from the \fBscripts\fP -+configuration subdirectory, or from a path specified with the \fB\-\-script\fP -+option. Some scripts are loaded internally (like \fB\-\-osc\fP). Each script runs in -+its own thread. Your script is first run "as is", and once that is done, the event loop -+is entered. This event loop will dispatch events received by mpv and call your -+own event handlers which you have registered with \fBmp.register_event\fP, or -+timers added with \fBmp.add_timeout\fP or similar. -+.sp -+When the player quits, all scripts will be asked to terminate. This happens via -+a \fBshutdown\fP event, which by default will make the event loop return. If your -+script got into an endless loop, mpv will probably behave fine during playback, -+but it won\(aqt terminate when quitting, because it\(aqs waiting on your script. -+.sp -+Internally, the C code will call the Lua function \fBmp_event_loop\fP after -+loading a Lua script. This function is normally defined by the default prelude -+loaded before your script (see \fBplayer/lua/defaults.lua\fP in the mpv sources). -+The event loop will wait for events and dispatch events registered with -+\fBmp.register_event\fP\&. It will also handle timers added with \fBmp.add_timeout\fP -+and similar (by waiting with a timeout). -+.sp -+Since mpv 0.6.0, the player will wait until the script is fully loaded before -+continuing normal operation. The player considers a script as fully loaded as -+soon as it starts waiting for mpv events (or it exits). In practice this means -+the player will more or less hang until the script returns from the main chunk -+(and \fBmp_event_loop\fP is called), or the script calls \fBmp_event_loop\fP or -+\fBmp.dispatch_events\fP directly. This is done to make it possible for a script -+to fully setup event handlers etc. before playback actually starts. In older -+mpv versions, this happened asynchronously. -+.SS mp functions -+.sp -+The \fBmp\fP module is preloaded, although it can be loaded manually with -+\fBrequire \(aqmp\(aq\fP\&.

What your plugins uses are not symbols from a libmpv binary, but -+symbols from the mpv host binary. -+.SS Examples -+.sp -+See: -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.IP \(bu 2 -+\fI\%https://github.com/mpv\-player/mpv\-examples/tree/master/cplugins\fP -+.UNINDENT -+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES -+.sp -+There are a number of environment variables that can be used to control the -+behavior of mpv. -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.TP -+.B \fBHOME\fP, \fBXDG_CONFIG_HOME\fP -+Used to determine mpv config directory. If \fBXDG_CONFIG_HOME\fP is not set, -+\fB$HOME/.config/mpv\fP is used. -+.sp -+\fB$HOME/.mpv\fP is always added to the list of config search paths with a -+lower priority. -+.TP -+.B \fBXDG_CONFIG_DIRS\fP -+If set, XDG\-style system configuration directories are used. Otherwise, -+the UNIX convention (\fBPREFIX/etc/mpv/\fP) is used. -+.TP -+.B \fBMPV_HOME\fP -+Directory where mpv looks for user settings. Overrides \fBHOME\fP, and mpv -+will try to load the config file as \fB$MPV_HOME/mpv.conf\fP\&. -+.TP -+.B \fBMPV_VERBOSE\fP (see also \fB\-v\fP and \fB\-\-msg\-level\fP) -+Set the initial verbosity level across all message modules (default: 0). -+This is an integer, and the resulting verbosity corresponds to the number -+of \fB\-\-v\fP options passed to the command line. -+.TP -+.B \fBMPV_LEAK_REPORT\fP -+If set to \fB1\fP, enable internal talloc leak reporting. -+.TP -+.B \fBLADSPA_PATH\fP -+Specifies the search path for LADSPA plugins. If it is unset, fully -+qualified path names must be used. -+.TP -+.B \fBDISPLAY\fP -+Standard X11 display name to use. -+.TP -+.B FFmpeg/Libav: -+This library accesses various environment variables. However, they are not -+centrally documented, and documenting them is not our job. Therefore, this -+list is incomplete. -+.sp -+Notable environment variables: -+.INDENT 7.0 -+.TP -+.B \fBhttp_proxy\fP -+URL to proxy for \fBhttp://\fP and \fBhttps://\fP URLs. -+.TP -+.B \fBno_proxy\fP -+List of domain patterns for which no proxy should be used. -+List entries are separated by \fB,\fP\&. Patterns can include \fB*\fP\&. -+.UNINDENT -+.TP -+.B libdvdcss: -+.INDENT 7.0 -+.TP -+.B \fBDVDCSS_CACHE\fP -+Specify a directory in which to store title key values. This will -+speed up descrambling of DVDs which are in the cache. The -+\fBDVDCSS_CACHE\fP directory is created if it does not exist, and a -+subdirectory is created named after the DVD\(aqs title or manufacturing -+date. If \fBDVDCSS_CACHE\fP is not set or is empty, libdvdcss will use -+the default value which is \fB${HOME}/.dvdcss/\fP under Unix and -+the roaming application data directory (\fB%APPDATA%\fP) under -+Windows. The special value "off" disables caching. -+.TP -+.B \fBDVDCSS_METHOD\fP -+Sets the authentication and decryption method that libdvdcss will use -+to read scrambled discs. Can be one of \fBtitle\fP, \fBkey\fP or \fBdisc\fP\&. -+.INDENT 7.0 -+.TP -+.B key -+is the default method. libdvdcss will use a set of calculated -+player keys to try to get the disc key. This can fail if the drive -+does not recognize any of the player keys. -+.TP -+.B disc -+is a fallback method when key has failed. Instead of using player -+keys, libdvdcss will crack the disc key using a brute force -+algorithm. This process is CPU intensive and requires 64 MB of -+memory to store temporary data. -+.TP -+.B title -+is the fallback when all other methods have failed. It does not -+rely on a key exchange with the DVD drive, but rather uses a crypto -+attack to guess the title key. On rare cases this may fail because -+there is not enough encrypted data on the disc to perform a -+statistical attack, but on the other hand it is the only way to -+decrypt a DVD stored on a hard disc, or a DVD with the wrong region -+on an RPC2 drive. -+.UNINDENT -+.TP -+.B \fBDVDCSS_RAW_DEVICE\fP -+Specify the raw device to use. Exact usage will depend on your -+operating system, the Linux utility to set up raw devices is raw(8) -+for instance. Please note that on most operating systems, using a raw -+device requires highly aligned buffers: Linux requires a 2048 bytes -+alignment (which is the size of a DVD sector). -+.TP -+.B \fBDVDCSS_VERBOSE\fP -+Sets the libdvdcss verbosity level. -+.INDENT 7.0 -+.TP -+.B 0 -+Outputs no messages at all. -+.TP -+.B 1 -+Outputs error messages to stderr. -+.TP -+.B 2 -+Outputs error messages and debug messages to stderr. -+.UNINDENT -+.TP -+.B \fBDVDREAD_NOKEYS\fP -+Skip retrieving all keys on startup. Currently disabled. -+.TP -+.B \fBHOME\fP -+FIXME: Document this. -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.SH EXIT CODES -+.sp -+Normally \fBmpv\fP returns 0 as exit code after finishing playback successfully. -+If errors happen, the following exit codes can be returned: -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.TP -+.B 1 -+Error initializing mpv. This is also returned if unknown options are -+passed to mpv. -+.TP -+.B 2 -+The file passed to mpv couldn\(aqt be played. This is somewhat fuzzy: -+currently, playback of a file is considered to be successful if -+initialization was mostly successful, even if playback fails -+immediately after initialization. -+.TP -+.B 3 -+There were some files that could be played, and some files which -+couldn\(aqt (using the definition of success from above). -+.TP -+.B 4 -+Quit due to a signal, Ctrl+c in a VO window (by default), or from the -+default quit key bindings in encoding mode. -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.sp -+Note that quitting the player manually will always lead to exit code 0, -+overriding the exit code that would be returned normally. Also, the \fBquit\fP -+input command can take an exit code: in this case, that exit code is returned. -+.SH FILES -+.sp -+For Windows\-specifics, see \fI\%FILES ON WINDOWS\fP section. -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.TP -+.B \fB/usr/local/etc/mpv/mpv.conf\fP -+mpv system\-wide settings (depends on \fB\-\-prefix\fP passed to configure \- mpv -+in default configuration will use \fB/usr/local/etc/mpv/\fP as config -+directory, while most Linux distributions will set it to \fB/etc/mpv/\fP). -+.TP -+.B \fB~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf\fP -+mpv user settings (see \fI\%CONFIGURATION FILES\fP section) -+.TP -+.B \fB~/.config/mpv/input.conf\fP -+key bindings (see \fI\%INPUT.CONF\fP section) -+.TP -+.B \fB~/.config/mpv/fonts.conf\fP -+Fontconfig fonts.conf that is customized for mpv. You should include system -+fonts.conf in this file or mpv would not know about fonts that you already -+have in the system. -+.sp -+Only available when libass is built with fontconfig. -+.TP -+.B \fB~/.config/mpv/subfont.ttf\fP -+fallback subtitle font -+.TP -+.B \fB~/.config/mpv/fonts/\fP -+Font files in this directory are used by mpv/libass for subtitles. Useful -+if you do not want to install fonts to your system. Note that files in this -+directory are loaded into memory before being used by mpv. If you have a -+lot of fonts, consider using fonts.conf (see above) to include additional -+fonts, which is more memory\-efficient. -+.TP -+.B \fB~/.config/mpv/scripts/\fP -+All files in this directory are loaded as if they were passed to the -+\fB\-\-script\fP option. They are loaded in alphabetical order, and sub\-directories -+and files with no \fB\&.lua\fP extension are ignored. The \fB\-\-load\-scripts=no\fP -+option disables loading these files. -+.TP -+.B \fB~/.config/mpv/watch_later/\fP -+Contains temporary config files needed for resuming playback of files with -+the watch later feature. See for example the \fBQ\fP key binding, or the -+\fBquit\-watch\-later\fP input command. -+.sp -+Each file is a small config file which is loaded if the corresponding media -+file is loaded. It contains the playback position and some (not necessarily -+all) settings that were changed during playback. The filenames are hashed -+from the full paths of the media files. It\(aqs in general not possible to -+extract the media filename from this hash. However, you can set the -+\fB\-\-write\-filename\-in\-watch\-later\-config\fP option, and the player will -+add the media filename to the contents of the resume config file. -+.TP -+.B \fB~/.config/mpv/lua\-settings/osc.conf\fP -+This is loaded by the OSC script. See the \fI\%ON SCREEN CONTROLLER\fP docs -+for details. -+.sp -+Other files in this directory are specific to the corresponding scripts -+as well, and the mpv core doesn\(aqt touch them. -+.UNINDENT -+.sp -+Note that the environment variables \fB$XDG_CONFIG_HOME\fP and \fB$MPV_HOME\fP can -+override the standard directory \fB~/.config/mpv/\fP\&. -+.sp -+Also, the old config location at \fB~/.mpv/\fP is still read, and if the XDG -+variant does not exist, will still be preferred. -+.SH FILES ON WINDOWS -+.sp -+On win32 (if compiled with MinGW, but not Cygwin), the default config file -+locations are different. They are generally located under \fB%APPDATA%/mpv/\fP\&. -+For example, the path to mpv.conf is \fB%APPDATA%/mpv/mpv.conf\fP, which maps to -+a system and user\-specific path, for example -+.INDENT 0.0 -+.INDENT 3.5 -+\fBC:\eusers\eUSERNAME\eAppData\eRoaming\empv\empv.conf\fP -+.UNINDENT -+.UNINDENT -+.sp -+You can find the exact path by running \fBecho %APPDATA%\empv\empv.conf\fP in cmd.exe. -+.sp -+Other config files (such as \fBinput.conf\fP) are in the same directory. See the -+\fI\%FILES\fP section above. -+.sp -+The environment variable \fB$MPV_HOME\fP completely overrides these, like on -+UNIX. -+.sp -+If a directory named \fBportable_config\fP next to the mpv.exe exists, all -+config will be loaded from this directory only. Watch later config files are -+written to this directory as well. (This exists on Windows only and is redundant -+with \fB$MPV_HOME\fP\&. However, since Windows is very scripting unfriendly, a -+wrapper script just setting \fB$MPV_HOME\fP, like you could do it on other -+systems, won\(aqt work. \fBportable_config\fP is provided for convenience to get -+around this restriction.) -+.sp -+Config files located in the same directory as \fBmpv.exe\fP are loaded with -+lower priority. Some config files are loaded only once, which means that -+e.g. of 2 \fBinput.conf\fP files located in two config directories, only the -+one from the directory with higher priority will be loaded. -+.sp -+A third config directory with the lowest priority is the directory named \fBmpv\fP -+in the same directory as \fBmpv.exe\fP\&. This used to be the directory with the -+highest priority, but is now discouraged to use and might be removed in the -+future. -+.sp -+Note that mpv likes to mix \fB/\fP and \fB\e\fP path separators for simplicity. -+kernel32.dll accepts this, but cmd.exe does not. -+.SH COPYRIGHT -+GPLv2+ -+.\" Generated by docutils manpage writer. -+. --- -2.14.1 - |
