With warning level 1, you can see when a packet is allocated or freed; the
goal is to never call 'malloc' nor 'free', except at the beginning of the
stream.
The size of the different caches can be adjusted in plugins/mpeg/input_ps.h.
If 'free' is called too often, it means that a cache is too small, so try
to increase its size.
* Built-in modules support almost finished.
Now you can compile any module within vlc, even the Gnome, Qt, SDL
and GGI modules at the same time, resulting in an awful extra fat
vlc binary with gazillons of library dependecies.
The only exception is that the Gnome and Gtk+ modules can't be
compiled together into vlc. But you can have one compiled built-in
and the other as a plugin.
Another consequence is that libdl should no longer be needed under
MacOS X. I'll check this as soon as possible.
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...
* Merged 6 months of CVS logs to the ChangeLog file.
The vlc changelog can now be viewed here:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/changelog.html
* Fixed a lintian error in debian/rules.
* XVideo resize patch by Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>.
Intf : ts streams in menu
fixed a typo
There be certainly need for debug on the TS input as vls complains about
wrong sized PES packets, and that many streams do not seem to work.
btw, I forgot to mention in my last commit the function that nooone will
ever use : "right button" key of 105 keys keybords support under X11,
Xv, Sdl
* 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.
function support and a no-frills About box
Created macosx_common.h in plugins/macosx/ to hold , well, common stuff
(the way I see it, there is inherently a difficult separation of intf and
vout on Mac OS, if anyone has suggestions I'm open)
Cleaned up debug spew I left in modules.c and video_text.c
Hacked main.c to disregard argv[1] when compiled for OSX & run as a full
app (ie., double clicked and not launched from command line)... read the
file for more details. UGLY.
Updated Makefile.in to make vlc.app by default on Mac OS X & Darwin, added
clean code for it as well
* Corrected an awful typo in the version name, I hope Lieutenant Commander
Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov will never set up us the bomb for that.
* Removed deprecated stuff from config.h.
* Disabled message queue by default.
* A few other changes in the CSS code, the BeOS issues should be fixed.
* Fixed a memory leak in gtk_callbacks.c (thanks to Dae).
- Cosmetic changes : the word 'vlan' is disappearing
- network_ChannelJoin is still commented out as it's not in sync anymore
with our channel server. Nitrox should fix this within a week.
- X and Xv output : added autohide cursor as in SDL
- X and Sv : keys 1 to 0 change channel
- SDL : keys F1 to F10 change channel as I was not able to make 1..0 work
* Fixed inline asm routines to remove all read/write operands.
* Added <string.h> to most files to prevent warnings under FreeBSD.
* Added "break;" after "default:" in case switches to prevent
warnings when compiling with GCC 3.0pre.
I hope there won't be too many segfaults because of it ;)
A few parameters must be adjusted to optimize this method; I'll do it later
because Proba Stat sucks ;)
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.
seems to have a bug that make the vlc crash on title/audio/spu change. I
hope that this bug will be fixed soon for the performance is poorer now
-add-ons and changes in gnome interface:
*menu subdivision is done only if there are over 20 items,
*in DVD mode next/prev apply to title,
*in DVD mode, added a box with button to navigate through
chapters.
This has not been finished yet (and it is not in gtk plugin then). And I
think I will leave toolbar next/prev buttons for playlist and add
button specifically for title change like for chapters.*
* heavy butchering in the CSS and DVD ioctl code to put all architecture-
dependent code in dvd_ioctl.c
* added almost fully-functional /dev/dvd driver for MacOS X in
extras/DVDioctl; to build it:
% cd extras/DVDioctl
% pbxbuild
% kextload build/DVDioctl.kext # note: kextload has to be run as root
be aware that the license for the DVDioctl kernel extension is
not GPL but APSL, because I borrowed some code from the Darwin kernel.
