isn't available on the desired platform.
* replaced the `--warning' flag with the standard cumulative `-v' flag.
`-v' is like `--warning 3', and `-vvvv' is like `--warning 0'
(`--warning' is still valid for those used to it)
* cleaning in configure.in and Makefile.in, the Solaris port now
builds and runs properly.
* Fixes to aout_darwin.c by Colin Delacroix <colin@zoy.org>.
* Fixes to configure.in, Makefile.in and main.c (Altivec detection)
by Eugenio Jarosiewicz <ej0@cise.ufl.edu>.
* Added Colin and Eugenio to the AUTHORS file.
o the slider should behave correctly and stop jumping here and
there (this bug is _not_ related to Stef's similar bug)
o added an "open network" menu (useless since the input doesn't
handle it properly yet)
o tried to reorganize gnome_callbacks.c and gtk_callbacks.c
o stream date is now displayed instead of percentage
o renamed gnome_sys.h to intf_gnome.h, and gtk_sys.h to intf_gtk.h
* Changed documentation and package creation files.
o added versioned conflicts/replaces to vlc-gtk (Closes Debian bug #88796)
o removed useless or outdated documentation from doc/*
o moved vlc.1 manpage from debian/vlc.1 to doc/vlc.1
* Added basic Qt interface.
o working features: slide bar, open file, toolbar, popup menu
o added "qvlc" alias, equivalent to "vlc -I qt"
o known issues : no "open disc" or "open network" menus yet
the IntfWindow class is never cleaned on destruction
the popup menu always pop at the middle of the screen
* Misc fixes/updates.
o renamed netutils.h functions from input_* to network_*
o renamed *plst* files and functions to *playlist* (it was stupid
from me to name them "plst")
o made a few input error messages more meaningful
o added -I, -A and -V short flags, corresponding to --intf, --audio
and --video
I got a lot of conflicts on this commit, lart me if I forgot a
file or made old bugs reappear.
###code is dirty###
Please clean it for me :P
(or at least, tell me how to clean it)
. Slightly modified playlist base interface
(Added a function to jump directly to an item, used for double clicking)
. Added manymanycallbacks
. Added the playlist dialog
. Added Dnd support for intf_window and the clist1
. support URI and plain file(s)/folder(s)
. Added "show/hide main window" menuitem in intf_popup
. Added bugs :P
Enjoy and please bug report.
* Got rid of the CONTRIBUTORS list, and switched AUTHORS to a
linux-kernel like author list.
* Updated TODO list.
* Fixed a segfault in the BeOS interface when --noaudio was specified.
* Title and Chapter selection in the Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces.
and changed plugins/dvd/* to reflect this change.
* Added .xpm icons (fixes lintian warnings).
* --help output and manpage are now in sync (Closes Debian bug #87478).
* Fixed Build-dpends entry in debian/control (Closes Debian bug #83707).
* Added a --disable-css configure option
* Moved some code here and there in the DVD plugin to make it easier
for me to build the Debian CSS-free packages.
don't forget to use the -p option if you cvs update)
* Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
* Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.
* DVD plugin is still non-functional when you don't have DVD ioctls,
but at least it compiles under BeOS as well.
* Minor cosmetic changes here and there.
so this didn't make it work better.
* Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to
make it easier eventually.
* Added Oct in the AUTHORS file.
* Fixed a mistake in configure.in.
* All your base are belong to us.
* Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules
when launched from the Tracker.
* Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c.
* BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert <ltlBeBoy@beosmail.com>
who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs
under BeOS ! Woohoo.
I used this command to play an unencrypted DVD, but maybe there is a
better solution: ./vlc dvd:/dev/disk/ide/atapi/1/master/0/raw
Current problems: gcc doesn't like MMX-EXT instructions, and refuses
to have register %ebx being used in the main application. Grr.
,-- don't trust the CVS bot, it's Sam speaking here :)
/
* Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
* Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
* Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
* Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
* Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
* The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.
deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
* Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
* Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
holes just need to be filled.
* Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
* The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
they are using X11 or SDL.
* The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).
* started cleaning vout_sdl.c
* the dummy plugin works again
* added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams
There is a problem with the slider: we sometimes get unexpected async
replies, which would mean that we don't properly lock our Xlib calls.
Which is true. But we also get these errors when using `--vout dummy'.
I'll investigate.
---------------------------
* Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
* All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).
Note that this is _not_ Interface II, it's just a step forward. For
instance, it lacks the whole message passing scheme.
Things that should work:
* Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
* Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
* The old SDL keys still work.
Things that are broken or may be broken:
* Xlib calls are not locked yet, which may lead to "Unexpected async reply"
errors, and make the vlc segfault.
* Sound only works for the first file.
* The SDL vout_sdl.c file is absolutely ugly and kludgey.
* The vlc immediately quits when no filename is given as an argument. Not
a real bug, but still annoying.
* The Gnome menu does not work in fullscreen mode.
Things that will come soon, maybe tomorrow:
* Complete navigation buttons (fast forward, slow, etc.).
* File/Open menu to add files to the playlist.
* Return of the X11 video output for those of us who do not have SDL.
* Textmode interface for those of us who do not have Gnome.
* aout and vout autospawn (maybe).
time later, when we don't have to backport modifications to input_*.c
What's new :
- playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
- input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/
What's broken :
- audio output might be broken on some streams ; have to investigate
What has changed :
- fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
- `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
- module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
verbosity on
. --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
. the vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation, just script it like :
for i in ~/mpeg/* ; do vlc --fullscreen --overlay --vout sdl $i ; done
Yes, I know the --overlay stuff is fucking ugly. But *I* am not the one
who redefines vout_sys_t in an interface-related source file. I won't
change it until the vout/intf is finished being rewritten.
Additional information: if "--overlay --fulscreen" doesn't center your
picture, try with your screen geometry, eg:
"--overlay --fullscreen --width 1024 --height 768"
. changed codename to Urumov
. cleaned a lot of stuff in the Debian package generation.
If anyone objects with the versioning scheme, let's fight in the
dirt and sort that out. Or change it yourself.
Debian packages can be tried here: http://armitage.via.ecp.fr/~sam/vlc/
implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
`--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
actively if you have time, though.
Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.
I moved vdec_motion.h and vpar_blocks.h back to /include because they
will be needed to build motion compensation modules, but perhaps we don't
need to export everything which is in these files.
/src/video_decoder/ now has only one .c file, perhaps it could now be
merged with video_parser ?
our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
. cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
. fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules
WARNING: a new directory has been added, which means you have to
use `cvs update -dP' to update ; files have been removed , which means
you either have to run `make distclean' or remove the .deps directory,
and the configure script has changed, which means you have to run it
again. Don't complain before having checked this :)
Note about the IDCT modules: there is no way to choose the one we
use, but you may remove the module in lib/ to prevent it from being
loaded. The preference order is : MMX, Optimized, Classic.
(tested on puma)
. removed most SYS_SOLARIS #ifdef's in favour of more generic tests
. updated example ./configure line in INSTALL file
. now we only load modules that end with ".so"
. null module is compiled by default
* --enable-sdl and some others are now --with-sdl[=name] to supply an
optional library name ;
* deleted all unnecessary #include <sys/uio.h> ;
* /usr/include is now searched when looking for libraries and headers.
It seems to compile and run on BSD. Under Linux Sam's latest commit makes
vlc crash on startup, so I can't really tell, but hey it compiles.
* Fixed a bug which made frames go backwards with some displays (the
video_decoder thread is now niced).
* Made use of intf_WarnMsg() in the most needed places.
Also simplified the synchro algorithm and fixed a bug with non-(5/1) streams.
Fixed the optimizations in the configure stuff.
Warning : this release needs a full rebuild (make clean; make).
Warning : I might have broken the BeOS port, could somebody check ?
