various: define builtin options and key bindings for images
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This makes mpv usable as an image viewer out of the box, as it is
currently hard to setup. Using mpv as an image viewer has several
advantages, the biggest one is that it's the best program at browsing
directories of mixed videos and images.

This adds a builtin image conditional profile that users can extend in
mpv.conf. It is written to not restore and reapply the options on each
image change, because that is slow for certain options (e.g.
--d3d11-flip=no restarts the VO), and causes visible flicker when
options like gamma are unapplied before changing image and reapplied on
the next image. But it still restores the previous options after
switching to a video or audio file.

Default image key bindings are defined in the image input section. sxiv
is their main inspiration.

Closes #7983, closes #12496.

than the window.

0
Reset the zoom.

u
Toggle between showing the image unscaled in its original dimensions and
fitting it to the window.

o
Fill the window with the image.

r

R and t
Rotate clockwise.

v
Rotate by 180 degrees.

SPACE
Toggle between showing images for 5 seconds in a slideshow and keeping them
open forever.

[ and ]

{ and }

N
Go to the next sub-playlist (e.g. directory or archive).

P

under it.

This feature is subject to change indefinitely. You might be forced to

Image profile
-------------------

mpv has a builtin conditional profile that is automatically applied to images
and restored when switching to a video or audio file. Its options are:

.. admonition:: Builtin profile definition

::

[image]
script-opt=osc-deadzonesize=1
prefetch-playlist
video-recenter
video-aspect-override=no
input-preprocess-wheel=no

It can be extended in mpv.conf without overwriting it completely:

.. admonition:: Example to loop image playlists

::

[image]
loop-playlist

You can stop applying it automatically by specifying an empty ``profile-cond``:

.. admonition:: Example to disable the image conditional profile

::

[image]
profile-cond=

This profile uses ``--input-commands`` to enable image specific key bindings.
This can be disabled with ``input-commands-clr``. Extra commands should be
specified with ``input-commands-append`` to keep enabling the image key
bindings. Additional image key bindings can be specified in the ``image``
section in ``input.conf`` - see the `INPUT.CONF`_ section.

To reset zoom and rotation between images, it is recommended to place
``reset-on-next-file=video-zoom,panscan,video-unscaled,video-rotate`` in the top
level of mpv.conf, as enabling it in a conditional profile makes it take effect
only from the second file.

To start viewing images and videos bigger than the window from the top left
corner, these options can be set in the top level of mpv.conf:

.. admonition:: Start from the top left:

::

video-align-x=-1
video-align-y=-1
video-recenter
reset-on-next-file=video-align-x,video-align-y

To enable the screensaver only when images are kept open forever, this can be
added to mpv.conf:

.. admonition:: Example to enable the screensaver:

::

[screensaver]
profile-cond=p['current-tracks/video'].image and not p['current-tracks/video'].albumart and image_display_duration == math.huge
profile-restore=copy
stop-screensaver=no

``--vo=gpu-next`` is recommended for better performance on large images, except
images larger than the max texture size of the GPU API, for which a VO with
software rendering can be used as fallback.

.. admonition:: Example to display huge images on Wayland:

::

[huge]
profile-cond=width > 16384 or height > 16384
vo=wlshm

maxImageExtent may be 8192 instead on old iGPUs.
