New --enable-python-bindings option
Pic libs will be built if something needing them (shared libvlc, python, mozilla) is built.
* Fix a description in vlcObject
I said "experimental". I meant it.
Developers might try --enable-shared-libvlc
- remove autom4te*.cache on bootstrap
(some customized autoconf add their version number)
- some clean up
* toolbox: New --update-version switch, which builds the version.c file
from current date, user/hostname/domainname, compiler version and
svn changeset.
* src/libvlc.c: Exported API to access data from version.c.
* modules/control/http.c: New variables vlc_compile_time, vlc_compile_by,
vlc_compile_host, vlc_compile_domain, vlc_compiler and vlc_changeset.
To stream use a commandline similar to this:
./vlc dvdsimple:///dev/dvd --sub-filter=osdmenu --osdmenu-file=share/osdmenu/default.cfg --extraintf rc --sout '#transcode{sfilter=osdmenu}:std{mux=ts,access=udp,url=127.0.0.1:1234}' -vvvv
For local playback a commandline like this is needed:
./vlc dvdsimple:///dev/dvd --sub-filter=osdmenu --osdmenu-file=share/osdmenu/default.cfg -vvvv
Have fun with the basic functionality - jpsaman.
- complete functionality except "Extract" (I'm going to fix that next week)
* MainMenu.nib: re-orded the window-menu a bit
* wizard.*: added a method to launch it from the bookmarks
- the adjust-image-filter and the audio-filters are completely useable
ToDo:
- complete i18n support
- video-filters
- loading the settings from the prefs correctly
- probably minor layout tweaks, etc.
along with libjpeg and libtiff. SDL has been heavily patched not to
hijack main() on Darwin, you should do the same for other platforms.
Also fixed a huge number of typos in the Makefile, and reverted to
an old version of ffmpeg because our friends there are breaking
everything again.
* Makefile.am: Re-added the "Default" directory for Xcode 2.1.
Disabled by default, enable with --enable-loader
There's no sanity checks in configure so don't do it if your platform is not compatible.
zorglub and Anil report it works for WMV3 with the dmo decoder plugin.
It seems to crash with Quicktime (after displaying a few frame ?).
There's no RealVideo decoder so, won't do that, but it probably could as well.
Legal considerations
=====================
Section 2 of the GPL puts no restriction on what you link with so long as
you have obtained the program from source (and compiled it yourself), so
this is OK.
It is not clear to me whether it is ok to provide binaries with this
feature enabled. Maybe it would infringe on the GPL and, hence, on VLC's
past contributors intellectual rights. So if in doubt don't put this in
binary package you make.
done:
- all items are included with complete l10n support
- checkboxes and select-file-buttons behave as they are supposed to
todo:
- implementation of the logic, i.e. handling of the collected values, respective manipulation of the GUI, start of the stream
- move some arrays to an external header file
- some GUI things (e.g. radio buttons on page 2, etc. - see FIXMEs)
- implementation of some help-dialogues (it might be necessary to create a re-usable window in the nib for that, since NSAlert is Panther and Tiger only)
- l10n string fixes (both in OSX and WX)
=> most of the work still needs to be done
