* README: eloborate on stable FFmpeg releases furtherGravatar wm42016-03-10
| | | | We _really_ try to discourage using older releases.
* README: edit release section, add section about preferred FFmpeg versionGravatar wm42016-03-07
| | | | All using properly seasoned words.
* README: remove pointer to homebrew-mpvGravatar Stefano Pigozzi2015-12-26
|
* README: add something about system requirementsGravatar wm42015-11-22
| | | | | | | | | This is actually all bullshit. There are many factors that can ruin the video playback experience (and most outside of our or the user's control). One thing that makes sense is that this declares incompatibility with Windows XP (fixes #2473).
* README: suggest uchardet instead of Enca as dependencyGravatar wm42015-11-16
| | | | | Enca is dead, uchardet is better (in half of all cases; on others it's worse).
* README: link to Copyright instead of LICENSE fileGravatar wm42015-10-06
| | | | | | | The Copyright file explains the whole license mess. The earlier change was apparently confusing, because the link reading "details" merely linked to the GPLv2 license instead of explaining anything. In fact, I meant to link to the Copyright file in the first place.
* README: clarify license statementGravatar wm42015-10-06
| | | | Fixes #2382.
* README: remove dead links to mailing listsGravatar wm42015-07-14
| | | | | | These were deleted due to inactivity. Fixes #2135.
* Various spelling fixesGravatar Marcin Kurczewski2015-06-18
| | | | Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>
* old-configure: hideGravatar wm42015-05-09
| | | | It shouldn't be used, but it's still in the repo because I say so.
* manpage: update mpv IRC channelsGravatar Niklas Haas2015-04-27
| | | | | Moved to #mpv and #mpv-devel, respectively. Travis details were also updated.
* README: remove dead linkGravatar wm42015-04-10
|
* Update README.mdGravatar Cris2015-04-09
| | | | Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>
* README: fix typosGravatar wm42015-03-04
|
* README: add some better linksGravatar wm42015-03-04
| | | | | Also write something about MPlayer, since this is a frequently asked question.
* build: bump required FFmpeg/Libav librariesGravatar wm42015-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The af_lavrresample commit made compilation fail on Libav 10, so I think it's time to require somewhat more recent dependencies. Libav 11 is the latest release, and FFmpeg 2.4 seems to correspond to Libav 11. So use these. Also adjust the configure failure message. Instead of (accidentally) printing the pkg-config versions twice, print the release version numbers too. This is helpful, because the release version numbers are completely different from the pkg-config ones. I will probably remove some compatibility hacks in the following commits too.
* build: require recent libassGravatar wm42015-02-18
| | | | | | | | | Nobody should use an older version. It's perfectly backwards and forward compatible, so distros have no excuse not to package a recent version. Older versions lack tons of bug fixes (some of them crashing bugs, and potentially security relevant). With love to Debian, which is still on 0.10.2.
* README: mention some more depsGravatar wm42015-02-09
|
* README: movie -> mediaGravatar wm42015-02-08
| | | | Requested in #935.
* README: mention that youtube-dl integration requires LuaGravatar wm42015-01-30
|
* README: extend dependecy list, link Windows compilation docsGravatar wm42015-01-20
| | | | Also, fix vo.rst, don't want to waste a separate commit on this.
* README: remove travis and coverity badgesGravatar wm42014-12-27
| | | | Useless and ugly.
* README: cleanup contact sectionGravatar wm42014-11-22
| | | | | I spotted to the grammatically incorrect "it's", and ended up redoing parts of the section.
* README: add Coverity statusGravatar wm42014-11-21
| | | | Because it looks nice.
* Drop libquvi supportGravatar wm42014-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | No development activity (or even any sign of life) for almost a year. A replacement based on youtube-dl will probably be provided before the next mpv release. Ask on the IRC channel if you want to test. Simplify the Lua check too: libquvi linking against a different Lua version than mpv was a frequent issue, but with libquvi gone, no direct dependency uses Lua, and such a clash is rather unlikely.
* README: fix link to release policy documentGravatar Alessandro Ghedini2014-06-30

* DOCS: add document describing the release policy and procedureGravatar Alessandro Ghedini2014-06-25
|
* DOCS: remove en/ sub-directoryGravatar wm42014-06-20
| | | | | This additional sub-directory doesn't serve any purpose anymore. Get rid of it.
* README: describe release cycleGravatar wm42014-05-20
|
* README: mention minimum FFmpeg/Libav versionsGravatar wm42014-04-15
|
* README: split list of dependenciesGravatar wm42014-03-12
| | | | | | | And make some additions. I'm not really sure why we list dependencies that are not ours, but that of external libraries. Still might be useful, though.
* build: hide duplicate options from `--help`Gravatar Stefano Pigozzi2013-12-26
| | | | | | Hide --enable variants from [autodetect]'ed options and --enable/--disable variants for [enable]'d/[disable]'d options. The hidden options are still usable, just hidden for more readability.
* README: mention build result being located at build/mpvGravatar Stefano Pigozzi2013-11-23

* switch the build system to wafGravatar Stefano Pigozzi2013-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds a new build system based on waf. configure and Makefile are deprecated effective immediately and someday in the future they will be removed (they are still available by running ./old-configure). You can find how the choice for waf came to be in `DOCS/waf-buildsystem.rst`. TL;DR: we couldn't get the same level of abstraction and customization with other build systems we tried (CMake and autotools). For guidance on how to build the software now, take a look at README.md and the cross compilation guide. CREDITS: This is a squash of ~250 commits. Some of them are not by me, so here is the deserved attribution: - @wm4 contributed some Windows fixes, renamed configure to old-configure and contributed to the bootstrap script. Also, GNU/Linux testing. - @lachs0r contributed some Windows fixes and the bootstrap script. - @Nikoli contributed a lot of testing and discovered many bugs. - @CrimsonVoid contributed changes to the bootstrap script.
* README: add a link to the wiki about the FFmpeg vs. Libav issueGravatar wm42013-10-25

* README: copy paragraph about --enable-* from configureGravatar wm42013-07-16
| | | | | | | This issue hits users way too often. Copy the explanation printed by the configure script to the README to give it more visibility. We will fix this properly once we have a new build system.
* README: small addition to encoding dependenciesGravatar wm42013-07-15

* add Travis-CI integrationGravatar Stefano Pigozzi2013-05-19
Travis-CI [1] is a continous integration cloud service. It is free for open-source projects and tigthly integrated tiwh GitHub so there is really no reason for us not use it. :) For now we are going to do a total of 4 builds, mainly to test ffmpeg/libav API breakage: * ffmpeg-stable, libass-stable * ffmpeg-git, libass-stable * libav-stable, libass-stable * libav-git, libass-stable The compiler that is currently used is clang for two reasons: * running 8 build targets would be quite wasteful and take a long time * clang is less tested and used during development than gcc (especially on linux) Currently Travis doesn't support OS X environments alongside Linux ones [2]. When it will, we will add a fifth build target to test OS X compilation breakage. README was moved to markdown to add the little build status image. I ran some tests with my GitHub fork and couldn't get images to show up using ReStructured Text. [1]: https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci [2]: travis-ci/travis-ci#216
