* ./plugins/fx/scope.c: new toy plugin, an audio scope module.
Each time I fix a bug in vlc I feel urge to code something useless. This
one is very, very rough for the moment, probably buggy, slow, will crash
your blender and reboot your fridge. Screenshot can be found here:
http://www.zoy.org/~sam/vlc/vlc-scope.jpeg
Activate with `--aout scope' (yes, it currently disables the real
audio output... I'll fix this as well).
* --with-directx-path should now indicate the path where the actual
headers are (before the headers had to be in an include subdir). By the
way you can download these header files from the videolan web site.
* All intf_*Msg functions now write to stderr.
* Implemented a message queue interface plugins can subscribe to.
* Wrote the logger interface plugin. Usage:
vlc -I logger:filename.log
* Lots of fixes in the SPU renderer.
* configure now checks for ddraw.h and not directx.h
* vout_directx doesn't include directx.h anymore (this file isn't part of
the directx sdk)
* moved all the stuff from aout_waveout.c directly into waveout.c (I don't
know what I was thinking about when I created these two files ;-)
* until we fix the audio buffer underrun problem, waveout will be the
default audio output on win32 (instead of directx).
waveOut API which is a lot easier to use for streaming stuff than
directsound. (you don't have to take care of underflows anymore
because it doesn't use circular buffers).
If you are having a lot of underflows, this plugin is currently
better adapted than the directx plugin.
* Moved some initialization stuff in audio_out.c so we can now the
caracteristics of the audio stream before calling aout_Open().
It is now activated with option --with-dvdread, that takes the same options
as --with-dvdcss.
If you link with libdvdread statically dvdread is compiled builtin ; if you
link dynamically, it is compiled as a plugin.
* ./config.guess ./config.sub: latest GNU versions.
* ./configure.in: when possible, xvideo is compiled as a plugin.
* ./vlc.spec: fixed a few minor inaccuracies.
* ./debian/control: vlc-gui is no longer depended on, but rather recommended.
* ./src/interface/main.c: --spumargin flag; use this to force displaying
subtitles at the bottom of the screen instead of putting them in the
middle, for instance: `--spumargin 5'.
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.
the chroma_i420_ymga module instead. This introduces a slight
performance issue as we now need to memcpy() the Y plane, but I have
some vout4 enhancements on their way which make this point moot.
* ./debian/changelog: imported official Debian changelog.
* ./debian/control: activated the vlc-mad and vlc-arts packages; package
builds should now work again.
* ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: solved a symbol resolution issue when vlc was
compiled without libdvdcss which overflowed the return stack.
* ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: ported the GGI plugin to vout4.
* ./plugins/glide/glide.c: ported the Glide plugin to vout4 (untested).
* ./src/input/input.c: prepared everything for multi-input mode; since
no interface is yet prepared to handle this, I changed them so that
they just use the first available input for now. This may break other
things, but I promise I'll eventually repair everything :-)
side effects because I don't know this part of the code, but at least
it doesn't crash anymore.
* ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp: first attempt at porting the BeOS plugin to the
new video output and module systems. Doesn't work nor even compile yet.
* ./configure.in: we now check the gtk-config version.
* ./MODULES: added a short description of each module. Maybe we should
add more details to make this file really useful.
* ./doc/bugreport-howto.txt: wishful thinking...
* ./Makefile: added a workaround for the fact that .c files don't depend
on <videolan/vlc.h>.
* ./plugins/memcpy/memcpy.c: all memcpy modules are now built from the same
single file.
* ./src/interface/main.c: added the --nommx, --no3dnow, --nommxext, --nosse
and --noaltivec options to vlc.
* ./configure.in: removed the --disable-mmx option, now useless because
of the vlc --no* options.
* ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a crash caused by the memcpy module
being released too early.
* ./include/video.h: more vout4 changes, including margin support, more
FOURCC formats recognized, transparent support of identical or almost
identical FOURCC formats.
* ./include/video_output.h: added a vout_Render function to video output
modules which is to be executed before vout_Display.
* ./include/common.h: this header is back.
* ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed RGB conversion
functions, mostly taken from vout3's yuv functions, but heavily modified
to use FAST_MEMCPY and to handle image dimensions which are not multiples
of 16. Not all functions have been written yet, though.
* ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed YUV conversion
functions, various targets such as 4:2:2 YUYV, YVYU, UYVY, or 2:1:1 YUYV,
with accelerated MMX versions.
* ./plugins/chroma/i422_yuy2.c: same as i420_yuy2.c but takes planar YUV
4:2:2 pictures in input. With accelerated MMX versions as well. This plugin
makes it possible to display 4:2:2 files on most video cards without the
quality loss of 4:2:0 downsampling.
* ./plugins/filter/*: thanks to the vout_Render function, all filters now
output their data perfectly in sync.
* ./plugins/dvdread/Makefile: fix to prevent unnecessary target rebuilds.
* ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for YV12, UYVY, YUY2 and YVYU overlays.
* ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for I420, YV12, YUY2 and Y211 overlays.
* ./include/config.h et al.: this file is no longer generated.
* ./include/video.h: we use the FOURCC definition of a chroma format to
describe picture types (see http://www.webartz.com/fourcc/).
* ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: compilation fix by Eyal Lebedinsky.
* ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the XShm operations order.
* Removed duplicate function checks from configure.in.
* Added extra magic to Makefile.modules so that the module Makefiles
are now ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will
make a possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier.
* Added the vlc version name to the plugin symbols, to be sure we only load
plugins with the same version number. A nasty consequence is that you
need to rebuild your tree after midnight if you are using a CVS tree :-)
* Got rid of modules_export.h by #defining exported functions in the same
header as their prototype.
* Added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h files to common.h so
there are less and less files to include, and renamed common.h to
<videolan/vlc.h>.
* First modifications to the module handling system towards my ultimate
goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of TestMethod and
TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c.
* Wrote the chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been
ported yet because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I
tried it with a naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the
real functions are ready).
* Made a lot of functions in dvd_summary.c one-liners to avoid wasting
too many output lines.
* Fixed a segfault in input_dvd.c:DVDInit.
* Added a fixfiles.sh script in plugins/gtk to be run after Glade has
generated its C files.
* Did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit less. It still
segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly.
* RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp only.
* Made plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c independent of any vlc structure
so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss?
* Fixed VCD date display.
* Merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into xcommon.c.
* Wrote non-Shm XVideo output.
* Made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable, only works for 16bpp.
* Additional french translation in po/fr.po. Any taker for the rest?
* Fixed a segfault in video_output.c when the allocated pictures were
not direct buffers.
* If $DISPLAY isn't set, don't try to run the Gtk+ interface.
* Replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian policy
(Closes Debian bug #126939).
* Removed the automatic ./configure launch when running `make all' for
the first time.
Stuff currently more broken than it ought to be:
* The wall filter. Being fixed.
* x11 and sdl plugins for depth != 16bpp.
* Software YUV.
* gvlc, gnome-vlc, kvlc shortcuts. Use --intf instead for the moment.
* Prevent two SDL video outputs or audio outputs to be spawned at the
same time to avoid ugly crashes.
* The SDL plugin now says whether we are using software or hardware YUV
in its window title.
* We now stop at the first ':' when looking for a module name, to easily
pass information to the modules. Possible example: --vout sdl:software,
implementation of such an option is left as an exercise.
* Merged filter_bob and filter_bob422 into filter_bob. Use --filter bob
to deinterlace 422 into 420 as well.
* Factorized code common to most filters and the video output, optimized
a few filters by aligning data and reading 64 bits at a time.
* Two new absolutely useless, CPU-eating, resource-wasting, but fun
filters: enjoy `transform', which performs flips and 90� rotations, and
`distort', which performs animated image effects (currently only a naive
sine wave is implemented). Usage examples:
--filter transform:hflip
--filter transform:vflip
--filter transform:90
--filter transform:180
--filter transform:270
--filter distort:wave
* Fixed XVideo port selection.
* New stupid plugin: "--filter wall" for split-image playback :-)
(will evolve into a real image wall plugin when I have time)
calculated!), but worth a try. Use the following flags:
"--filter invert" for inverse video
"--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing
* Fixed a potential segfault if the subtitle stream was encountered
before the video stream.
* Misc vout4 fixes.
* 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.
* Updated documentation ;
* New --desync option, to delay the video (in case of lip desynchronization) ;
this is bad, but we have no other option for the moment ;
* Clicking in vout now pauses the stream, patch courtesy of Peter Surda.
