* Updated ChangeLog and ChangeLog.libdvdcss.
* Increased vlcs response message length.
* Removed the i_flags argument to dvdcss_open. Everything is done through
environment variables now.
* 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.
* Activated -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D__USE_UNIX98 on all platforms, fixes
issues under Solaris and QNX.
* Additional checks for SSE-specific (non-MMXEXT) instructions, as
reported in <20010817114220.A23480@slartibartfast.angrypacket.com>.
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.
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.
* 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.
to the DVD drive for the whole iovec.
* Fixed _win32_dvdcss_aread to work around the WinASPI32 64kb transfer
size restriction.
* New and theoretically better Win32 pthread implementation which fixes a
problem I was having when changing title on a DVD (netlist related).
vlc_cond_multicast may or may not work.
* Fixed the "quit" event handling in directx/vout_events.c.
* dvd_ifo.c now takes into account error messages from UDFFindFile.
* Temporarily disabled aout_Probe() in aout_SDL (this function
is creating an awful lot of problems - libSDL bug ).
It works at last! configure with --enable-profiling, build, run
vlc (you may want to add --noaudio, it currently segfaults with sound
here) and launch "gprof vlc" when finished.
To make gprof work with multithreaded programs, one needs to set the
internal ITIMER_PROF timer for each new thread launched. I did this
through a wrapper in vlc_thread_create (see include/threads.h).
about this in a forthcoming post here).
* Fixed the painfully slow build process (at last!).
* Moved the null plugin together with the dummy one.
* Added new dummy input plugin.
More on the dummy input plugin: we'll use it to insert commands in
the playlist. Currently implemented are the "quit" and "pause" functions,
here are examples on how they are used:
vlc file.mpeg vlc:quit # exit after file.mpeg has been read.
vlc file1.mpeg vlc:pause:3 file2.mpeg # pause 3 seconds before playing
# the next file.
From now we can more efficiently benchmark vlc. For instance, to test
the video output changes I am doing, I use such a command:
time vlc -I dummy --noaudio file.mpeg vlc:quit
Future extentions might include more interesting stuff like "switch
to full screen", "repeat next file 3 times", "switch to SDL video
output"...
* Gnome interface segfault fix.
* BeOS interface segfault fix by AnEvilYak (what's you real name btw?).
Note: if you want to have a look at the currently buggy YUV subpictures,
uncomment line 1999 of src/video_output/video_output.c. Don't report
bugs about this, I _know_ it's a quick hack.
* 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>.
