. there was still a problem upon quitting: sometimes the null packet
wasn't big enough to reach a decoder breakpoint, so I now create 10
of them (since I can't make it bigger) to be sure. Meuuh, what do
you think ?
. fixed the Makefile to spare a few variables here and there.
. reduced module hide delay, removed loading of the audio output
plugins since they are now modules.
. changed a few intf_Msg to intf_DbgMsg, and added "vout:", "intf:",
and so on in a few other messages.
. removed unused includes in the idct modules.
initialized. It remains some segfaults but it globally works.
. DVD mode is enabled with option --dvd. For the moment, it only read
the first vts and find the movie if it is at the beginning of the title
set.
Coming soon:
. udf filesystem management to access over 2Gb zones.
. detection of the offset to the movie inside a vts when it is not at
the beginning.
Is there a chance that using fopen/fseek function instead of open/lseek
system calls solve the 2Gb issue ?
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.
INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ;
video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ;
decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ;
* Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ;
* Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ;
* Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ;
* Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ;
* Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ;
* Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ;
* Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting
(still one left, yaknow why ?)
- ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API
- cosmetic changes
To do :
- check if it works with the latest alsa release
- add features ... prepare for 4 or more speakers
I wasn't sure whether the bits counting method was effective to
skip ancillary data at the end of a frame, but I kept it for
safety. There is still a lot to optimize in the bit counting, like
unrolling the first iteration of some loops, but I don't know if
it would be worth it. The other solution would have been to look for
a startcode after eache frame, without caring about the ancillary bits.
. cleaning in the SPU decoder.
it anymore really soon, since ntohl() and htonl() seem to be properly
optimized when gcc is passed the right optimization flags.
. fixed GetBits32 and RemoveBits32. I know the #ifdefs are useless since
we only support u32 words, but it's a safe reminder. Comments appreciated
on this fix since I may have b0rked something -- it runs well here though.
. separated MODULE_CONFIG_START and ADD_WINDOW (Henri, beware)
. fixed a very, very old bug that caused namespace collision between
plugins (Henri, beware: call your aout_getplugin function like this,
not alsa_aout_getplugin)
. removed the Debian specific clean rules from the Makefile, since they
are already handled by the debian/rules script.
. tidied a few compilation rules (-lfoo should always be at the end)
from RGB masks);
- cleaning of the fullscreen switch, still sucks but the surface is not
reallocated and that's good (thanks to the magic function
SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen provided by sdl library :).
. Moved a mutex_destroy after the thread cancellation to prevent
possible problems
. Added a missing #ifdef in intf_msg.c which prevented compilation
with --enable-debug
. Fixed a bug in the input that prevented to quit properly in certain
cases (some ES were not deleted because their index was skipped when
the former one was deleted, well Meuuh should know what I mean)
There is still a segfault when quitting, most presumably in the
audio output. I couldn't find what causes it yet.
. made the audio_output API a bit simpler.
. got rid of modules_config.h.
. fixed `make install' rule.
. fixed warnings in the MMX YUV compilation.
. probably fixed a bug in the input : pp_foo structures were free()d at
the end, but this was useless since the last call to realloc() is
equivalent to free(), and two consecutive calls to free() aren't a
goo idea.
. we check that the version number match and that we don't already have
a module by that name when loading a new module.
. all public module_* functions now properly lock the module bank.
. the audio_output now uses the new module API ; EsounD and DSP modules
have been ported, which should be enough for Henri to port the ALSA one.
The new plugin API is now much simpler ; it's now just a matter of
calling module_Need( p_main->p_module_bank, MODULE_CAPABILITY_FOO, p_data );
and if successful we get the best module. Capabilities can be ORed, so that
one can ask for a plugin that does VOUT _and_ INTF actions for instance.
It's not complete yet though -- by making it generic I had to do a few
ugly casts here and there, which I am going to fix ASAP. Also, command line
selection of a plugin does not work yet.
The switch to the new plugin API has probably broken the BeOS audio
output ; we can either wait until the whole vlc has switched to the new
plugins, or create a separate beos_sound.so that conforms to the new API.
- Used them before quitting, every lock and cond is destroyed
- Checked the return value of malloc and realloc in input_programs
- Cosmetic changes
TODO: add vlc_*_destroy for beos and C_thread
(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.
To test it, run ./configure with the --enable-null flag, which will
compile the Null Module as a plugin. Watch the memory usage at the
launch and when the plugin is released.
. this is a coding style patch which removes all "foo(bar){" constructions
and most of the tabulations.
. also, fixed a bug in the default subtitle track.
. and made a few error messages more explicit, ie. changed "error: %s" to
"foo error: couldn't initialize bar (%s)"
. and removed a warning in intf_ctrl.c which isn't used anyway.

Notes:
Plugins are now called modules, because we will be able to compile
them either as a dynamic plugin, or within the program. And, more
important, I can commit this without having to break the vlc :)
I tried to be as clear as possible in my comments, please tell me
if a few prototypes still have an unclear beahaviour.
Current features:
. none, files haven't even been added to the Makefile yet.
Future features:
. dynamic loading (done)
. built-in modules (still to do)
. automatic unloading of plugins (done)
. dynamic configuration (still to do)
. automatic choosing of the most appropriate plugin for a given
task (still to do but well prepared)
