Overview
Request 705383 accepted
- Update to version 4.0.0-1
New Features:
* Experimental support for directly using libmpv as backend,
instead of binary.
* For generating preview and thumbnails, libmpv will be used
by default.
* Automatically prevent screen turn off or screensaver when
playing video.
* Removed variable_width_list property, since it is not
required now. Application will automatically resize widgets
when screen changes, on dual monitor/screen setup, even if
application is placed on non-primary screen.
* Added Device Pixel Ratio property in preferences. By default
it is set to 1.0. For high resolution displays, it will be
greater that 1.0. For retina displays it is 2.0. If video is
appearing smaller then increase this value, when using libmpv
as backend. If not sure, set it to 0.0, and application will
try to adjust this value automatically.
* Support added for both opengl-cb and opengl-render api of
libmpv.
* Accurate live preview and improved gapless playback of
network streams when using libmpv
New Dependencies (names are given as per PyPI packages):
* PyOpenGL
* PyQtWebEngine (This is separate package now and won't be
included in default PyQt5 installation)
Optional dependency:
* pympv (If user wants to use latest opengl-render api of
libmpv)
Use of libmpv with kawaii-player:
* python-mpv package, written by github user jaseg, with minor
modifications. No need to install it separately. The main
file with minor modifications is included in the
kawaii-player.
* pympv. This package is optional and needs to be installed
from PyPI, if user wants to use latest rendering api of mpv.
Notes:
* Those who want to use mpv/mplayer binaries, they can still
use it. Support for binary mpv/mplayer won't be deprecated in
the application. Advantage of using libmpv (apart from making
cleaner code) is that, it will make application work better
and uniform across all platforms (gnu/linux, windows and mac).
* Playing video within thumbnails, won't work with libmpv as
of now. So this feature has been disabled for libmpv, but it
works as usual when using mpv binary.
