* Updated ChangeLog files.
* XVideo module now compiled as built-in for Debian packages, to avoid
PIC and non-PIC code collision (Closes Debian bug #111790).
* 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.
extras/BSDI_dvdioctl after he suggested it. License is GPL.
* ./configure now checks for an installed libdvd under BSD/OS and
falls back to ours if not found.
* Fixed harmless typos in yesterday's Solaris libdvd patches.
* Bumped libdvdcss version number up to 0.0.3 ; release will probably
follow once the BSDI changes have been tested.
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.
* Fixed the --with-dvdcss flag:
o --with-dvdcss - build libdvdcss, link statically (also default behaviour)
o --with-dvdcss=local-static - build libdvdcss, link statically
o --with-dvdcss=local-shared - build libdvdcss, link dynamically
o --with-dvdcss=/foo/bar - don't build libdvdcss, use libdvdcss in /foo/bar
* Fixed an omission in the dvdcss.h header.
* Merged dvdcss_init and dvdcss_open into dvdcss_open, and dvdcss_close
and dvdcss_end into dvdcss_close. libdvdcss API now has 7 functions.
* Another failed attempt at profiling vlc under Linux: ported the
threads API to GNU Pth. Activate with --enable-pth. It doesn't seem to
spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
* Makefile optimizations.
* Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.
* The ALSA plugin is back.
* A gift for Gildas: plugins don't rely on backlinking any more. The
drawback is the dirty magic in include/modules_export.h which has to
be included whenever a module needs one of the functions in it. But
a) we should less and less rely on those functions
b) no plugin code modification was needed
The BeOS and MacOS X modules may be broken when compiled as plugins,
I'll check this later when I can reboot under BeOS.
* 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.
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>.
o the slider should behave correctly and stop jumping here and
there (this bug is _not_ related to Stef's similar bug)
o added an "open network" menu (useless since the input doesn't
handle it properly yet)
o tried to reorganize gnome_callbacks.c and gtk_callbacks.c
o stream date is now displayed instead of percentage
o renamed gnome_sys.h to intf_gnome.h, and gtk_sys.h to intf_gtk.h
* Changed documentation and package creation files.
o added versioned conflicts/replaces to vlc-gtk (Closes Debian bug #88796)
o removed useless or outdated documentation from doc/*
o moved vlc.1 manpage from debian/vlc.1 to doc/vlc.1
* Added basic Qt interface.
o working features: slide bar, open file, toolbar, popup menu
o added "qvlc" alias, equivalent to "vlc -I qt"
o known issues : no "open disc" or "open network" menus yet
the IntfWindow class is never cleaned on destruction
the popup menu always pop at the middle of the screen
* Misc fixes/updates.
o renamed netutils.h functions from input_* to network_*
o renamed *plst* files and functions to *playlist* (it was stupid
from me to name them "plst")
o made a few input error messages more meaningful
o added -I, -A and -V short flags, corresponding to --intf, --audio
and --video
I got a lot of conflicts on this commit, lart me if I forgot a
file or made old bugs reappear.
* 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.
and changed plugins/dvd/* to reflect this change.
* Added .xpm icons (fixes lintian warnings).
* --help output and manpage are now in sync (Closes Debian bug #87478).
* Fixed Build-dpends entry in debian/control (Closes Debian bug #83707).
* Added a --disable-css configure option
* Moved some code here and there in the DVD plugin to make it easier
for me to build the Debian CSS-free packages.
package depends on it because of the icon and menu entry.
* Added an intf_WarnHexDump() function to do raw hexadecimal dumps of
memory areas. For debugging purposes or for real men, as you wish.
* Lots of tidying in dvd_ioctl.c, a few comments added.
* Better error handling in the subpicture decoder.
* Tidied video_spu.c. More to come later.
* Fixed subtitle displaying. Will soon work in overlay mode as well.
* DVD plugin is still non-functional when you don't have DVD ioctls,
but at least it compiles under BeOS as well.
* Minor cosmetic changes here and there.
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.
* Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
* Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
* Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
* Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
* Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
* The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.
* started cleaning vout_sdl.c
* the dummy plugin works again
* added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams
There is a problem with the slider: we sometimes get unexpected async
replies, which would mean that we don't properly lock our Xlib calls.
Which is true. But we also get these errors when using `--vout dummy'.
I'll investigate.
first playlist item.
* Added `Prev' and `Next' buttons to the interface, with the beginning of
a playlist window (still empty).
* Added `Slow' and `Fast' buttons to the interface and popup menu.
Ok, I promise it's the last time I check bloat in, from now the interface
commits will be much cleaner and actually fix things :)
. --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
. the vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation, just script it like :
for i in ~/mpeg/* ; do vlc --fullscreen --overlay --vout sdl $i ; done
Yes, I know the --overlay stuff is fucking ugly. But *I* am not the one
who redefines vout_sys_t in an interface-related source file. I won't
change it until the vout/intf is finished being rewritten.
Additional information: if "--overlay --fulscreen" doesn't center your
picture, try with your screen geometry, eg:
"--overlay --fullscreen --width 1024 --height 768"
. changed codename to Urumov
. cleaned a lot of stuff in the Debian package generation.
If anyone objects with the versioning scheme, let's fight in the
dirt and sort that out. Or change it yourself.
Debian packages can be tried here: http://armitage.via.ecp.fr/~sam/vlc/
implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
`--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
actively if you have time, though.
Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.
I moved vdec_motion.h and vpar_blocks.h back to /include because they
will be needed to build motion compensation modules, but perhaps we don't
need to export everything which is in these files.
/src/video_decoder/ now has only one .c file, perhaps it could now be
merged with video_parser ?
. fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags
. updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change
. removed a few unneeded #includes here and there
. cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c
Currently available flags are now :
--aout dummy
esd
dsp
alsa
--idct idct
idctclassic
idctmmx
--yuv yuv
yuvmmx
--vout works like before, but still uses the old plugin system for now.
. 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.
