for BT ;
* --6 and --4 options to force IPv6 or IPv4 (FIXME: it should be -6 and
-4 but I don't know how to do it with the new configuration module) ;
* Channel manager now uses a socket from the network plug-in and is more
portable (and probably broken, too :) ;
* input_ReadPS and input_ReadTS are now in mpeg_system.c to be more
easily reused by plug-ins other than mpeg_ps and mpeg_ts.
That's all for tonight.
* Fixed input parser under win32, chich couldn't understand that
c:\windows\bureau is a valid file and doesn't need to be accessed with
the plugin 'C' :-)
* BTW, I added myself in the AUTHORS file :)
* ./src/misc/modules.c: shortcuts for --intf work again, gvlc launches the
Gtk interface, qvlc launches the Qt interface, etc.
* ./plugins/fx/scope.c: we now have sound together with --aout scope.
already a system macro under MacOS X.
* ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: fixed vlc:loop, vlc:quit, etc. entries.
* ./plugins/glide/glide.c: activated double buffering.
* ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: started writing an xmga plugin; doesn't work yet.
* ./src/input/input.c: fixed the input memory leak, and the insane thread
spawning we got with vlc:loop.
* ./src/misc/intf_eject.c: disc ejection routine courtesy of Julien Blache,
currently Linux-only.
* Updated config.guess and config.sub from GNU's latest versions (bozo,
you may want to update them in vls as well).
* Added vlc.pot skeleton for translators.
* Put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that big and we
should not multiply header files.
* Added gettext support by Thomas Graf <reeler@reeler.org>, may be
broken on other platforms but we'll only see it when I'm finished
with vout 4 :-)
* Fixed a segfault on exit when no fast_memcpy module was found.
for my nevrotic and destructive pulsions during the next few hours!
* If you want to test vlc, please use the v0_2_92_branch branch.
* Stuff currently working:
- direct to YUV buffer decoding
- non-ugly subtitle blending
- XVideo and SDL video output
* Stuff currently utterly broken:
- aspect ratio
- software rendering (ie, all other video output plugins)
* Additional misc changes:
- Renamed spu_dec to spudec and mad_adec to mad to stay coherent with
other plugins. Also, renamed mpeg to mpeg_system.
- Added jobi to the AUTHORS file.
- Factored code common to vout_x11.c and vout_xvideo.c.
* Fixed arch-dependant build dependencies (Closes Debian bug #109722).
* Minor changes to the (non-working) ncurses interface.
Changes to libdvdcss (courtesy of H�kan Hjort <d95hjort@dtek.chalmers.se>):
* If we see 3000 unencrypted blocks assume that the title is unencrypted.
* If we have not seen any encrypted block and then discover that the block
just read is not a valid block of an MPEG2 Program stream, assume that the
title is unencrypted.
* Empty keys (for unscrambled sectors) are now cached as well.
* We try to decrypt the file even if DVD ioctls are not available.
- performance boost ;
- fixed the "Dual Prime Arithmetic" bug ;
- 3DNow! motion compensation module ;
* BTW, fixed numerous bugs ;
* AC3dec statistics do not show up with --enable-stats, because I doubt
they're understandable by a normal human being, and they pollute the output.
having met a zero-sized area.
* Found out how to type '�' in vim :-)
* Added missing bloat to modules_export.h.
* 'snapshot*' rules do not depend on 'clean', and don't use /tmp anymore.
* Added vlc:loop playlist command to go back at the beginning.
Usage: vlc file1.mpeg file2.mpeg ... fileN.mpeg vlc:loop
This change isn't very elegant but there are already bugs in the
playlist handling, I'll try to polish it once the playlist is fixed.
libdvdcss. It will try to dlopen() libdvdcss at runtime, though,
and will use the dummy functions only if it couldn't find a valid
libdvdcss. This is probably only useful to package maintainers.
* Tidied the snapshot-* Makefile rules.
* Tidied the modules Makefiles.
* Removed useless stuff in the debian/ directory.
* Removed the "make all" kludge in the Makefile.opts rule. I hope this
patch is harmless on all systems.
vlc's DVD input (looks like decoders are expecting data too early and
DVD input can't cope with it due to decryption). Needs to be investigated.
* Plugins are now compiled in plugins/* and libraries in lib/*.
* The KDE UI compiles again but does not work yet.
* ALSA plugin message corrections.
* Calculation modules can now be calledwith a shorter name
(eg. '--downmix mmx' instead of '--downmix downmixmmx').
* Fixed insane verbosity of the SDL plugin.
* aout and vout are now allocated in banks, making it possible to have
several of them at the same time.
* configure now checks for MMX and MMX EXT support in the assembler.
* Removed all MMX code from the main program and moved it to the
existing idct modules (Closes: Debian bug #96036).
Don't forget to make distclean before building vlc again.
fix: the output threads are now spawned when a decoder needs one,
so it can decide the audio frequency or the video window size. Still
under heavy construction, so don't get too excited at finding bugs
in it yet.
Note: this change broke the XVideo module, so I made its score much
lower than before. I suspect xvideo.so had a bug before which only
appears now. Other video output plugins may be broken as well, but
again this might be due to old existing bugs showing their ugly head.
* Fixed a few buffer overflows in the Gnome interface.
* The module bank is now a global variable. The video output bank and
the audio output bank might follow (when they exist).
* Coding style and organization fixes to the spdif decoder.
* autoconf and Makefile changes by Arnaud Gomes-do-Vale
<arnaud@carrosse.frmug.org>.
* Miscellaneous QNX compile fixes.
* Beginning of the mingw32 port by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>.
* Added Marcari and Gildas to the AUTHORS file.
(I commited the mingw32 port because it doesn't add any new code outside
the #ifdefs, but we won't tell a word about it for the moment. We don't
really need windows users whining about bugs, do we ?)
* rc interface plugin for vlc control through /dev/stdin courtesy
of Peter Surda <shurdeek@panorama.sth.ac.at>.
* Support for `ts://foo:42' style input source:
vlc ts://vls.via.ecp.fr:1234
vlc ts://vls.via.ecp.fr
vlc ts:vls
vlc ts:vls:4321
As a side effect, the Gnome and Gtk "network input" buttons work.
A few words about the changes:
- heavy Makefile butchery has taken place, each plugin now has its own
Makefile. I know recursive make blablah harmful, but it was just so
much easier to do this way.
- Makefile.in has disappeared, we now generate Makefile.opts with
the overall configuration options, and Makefile.modules which is
specific to module compilation.
- After ./configure has been run you may want to modify Makefile.opts
to check which modules will be compiled built-in or as plugins.
- Some modules cannot be compiled built-in right now because proper
linkage doesn't work yet. We don't really care since they're the
interface or video output modules. The most important stuff works
(iDCT, motion, YUV, input).
- It's perfectly valid to compile a module both as built-in and as a
plugin. vlc will only load the built-in one, but I'll add an option
to ignore built-in modules for testing purposes.
- We *should* see a performance increase here. I didn't have much time
to test it, but if anyone can confirm and perhaps give a rough
estimate of how much we gain...
* Updated icons.
* Removed redefinition of NULL in src/audio_decoder/adec_layer?.c.
* Created darwin_specific.c to store the program path at boot time.
(XXX: check that it didn't break the OS X port)
* Fixed a warning in netutils.c.
* 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.
Shane, I removed the static variables from your code because static
is not thread-safe, and one can imagine having several video output
windows launched at the same time. Also, I made your feature work
in windowed mode as well, because people kept asking how to hide the
mouse pointer.
Also, if you want to work on the XVideo extension, you are welcome ;
most of us are quite busy at the moment. Damien Lucas <nitrox@via.ecp.fr>
had offered to work on it, but he seems to be a bit lost, so you may
want to take over his job.
As for the "zoom" feature, I suggest you wait until version 4 of the
video output is done, it'll be easier to do then.
Regards,
* 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.
include/video_output.h
* Added boolean_t b_YCbr to vout_thread_s structure to flag YUV-YCbCr
decoding needed instead of YUV-RGB
* Will be removed later when video_output.c rewritten
src/video_output.c
* vout_CreateThread() initialises b_YCbr to zero
plugins/beos/*
* New BeOS video plugin that supports hardware overlays and new
MediaPlayer compatible interface
plugins/*
* Added YUV-YCbCr transforms
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.
scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by
installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade',
or directly by hand if you grok XML.
* Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the
moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it
quits when the end of the playlist is reached.
* Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly
useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too
long.
