don't seem to work very well if you are using autopoint, although
gettext 0.11.5 claims to be fully backwards compatible. Welcome to
automake hell.
* ./bootstrap: workaround which uses gettextize if you do not have
autopoint. We'll probably stay like this for a while, until gettext
0.11.x (which replaces gettextize with autopoint) becomes more
widespread. Currently this workaround seems to work, but don't expect
a clean tarball if you make dist without having used autopoint. Welcome
to automake hell.
unnoticeable apart from the extra dependency on autoconf, automake and
gettextize. See the new HACKING file for some information, especially if
you don't run Linux.
The current strategy is to have the configure script generate a nice
automake Makefile from Makefile.am, and then clobber it with our good
old dirty Makefile. Muahaha :-)
* Audio and video should now _always_ be perfectly in sync.
* Changes in a52.c (end_date management) must be ported to other codecs,
otherwise mixer errors will appear.
* Audio output plug-in can now tell whether they can handle a little
clock drift (for instance, inserting zeroes after a pause).
won't unload it. This makes us more fault-tolerant with crap libraries
that are making use of atexit().
* ./configure.in: svgalib can now be a plugin.
* ./modules/misc/gtk_main.c: gtk_main doesn't need g_atexit anymore.
Currently only supports 256 color output, and defaults to 320x200. You need to be root to use it, it may leave your console in an unusable state, lock
up your video card, it will segfault at exit if you compile it as a plugin
because of SVGAlib's ludicrous use of atexit() and signal().
Apart from these few glitches, it's rather OK, use "-I dummy -V svgalib"
to activate. Q or Esc to quit (press for a long time if it doesn't work).
gtk_main() in its own thread, and does nothing on subsequent calls. This
ensures that gtk_main is only running once.
* ./modules/gui/familiar/*, modules/gui/gtk/*: the familiar, gtk and gnome
modules are now fully reentrant thanks to their use of the gtk_main module.
* ./src/libvlc.c: implemented vlc_set(), a wrapper for config_Put* available
to external programs.
* ./src/libvlc.c: removed vlc_stop() and vlc_end(), everything is now done
by vlc_destroy().
* ./modules/control/rc/rc.c: implemented a few new functions. For instance,
run "vlc -I rc" and then type "intf gtk" or "intf gnome". You can even
launch several of them. "segfault" works, too.
* Major changes in the handling of dates in the audio output ; still buggy,
but differently.
* Fixed a major bug in the aout pre-filters, preventing to run any other
decoder than liba52.
* p_aout->output.pf_play now has only one argument.
* ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c, ./src/audio_output/mixer.c: fixed a
horrible sound issue by making sure internal buffers have a size multiple
of 4 bytes. Waiting for a real fix made in Meuuh, of course.
instead of our own variable.
* ./modules/audio_filter/converter/a52tospdif.c, ./modules/codec/a52.c: added
<unistd.h>, required for bswap.
* ./modules/demux/mp4/libmp4.c: removed an unneccessary semicolon in a
macro definition.
* ./modules/audio_output/esd.c: first attempt at getting esd to work.
* ./modules/video_output/*: split sdl.so into a video and an audio plugin,
and removed useless subdirectories.
* ./modules/audio_output/sdl.c: compilation fix.
only have one parent, because I don't want to deal with cycles, and each
created object is indexed in a global array. This feature is unused yet,
but it will speed up vlc_object_find(FIND_ANYWHERE).
* ./debian/rules: activated the faad codec.
* ./doc/fortunes.txt: new fortune cookies.
* ./modules/codec/mpeg_video/headers.c: reduced the use of attach/detach.
* ./modules/audio_output/oss.c: fixed two compilation warnings.
(faad2).
* modules/demux/mp4/libmp4.c : could compile without zlib.
* modules/codec/ffmpeg/* : set error resilience to -1 by default.(in
order to decode more files, but it could produce segfaults ... )
* Makefile.*, configure.in : enable mp4 by default, add faad
module (disabled by default ).
* modules/audio_output/waveout.c: adapted the waveout audio plugin to aout3 and
decreased its score so the directx plugin is selected by default.
* configure.in: re-enabled the waveout plugin
It's really amazing how much aout3 simplifies these plugins :)
demux plugins (ps, ts, but also dvd*).
* ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: removed MPEG-related stuff from the vlc core.
* ./src/misc/modules.c: max recursion level is now 5.
* ./modules/access/dvdplay/es.c: fixed a buffer overflow.
waveout, directx, qnx, beos, win32, macosx, and the AltiVec modules.
* ALL: removed mention of AC3 in favour of A52.
* ./configure.in, ./Makefile*: modules can now be built deeper than 1
directory. As a consequence, the build is even slower (but I'm fixing
this) and make clean doesn't work anymore.
* ./mozilla/vlcplugin.h: added .mov and .mp4 files to the plugin.
* ./Makefile: we no longer try to merge .a files into libvlc.a, but rather
add them to the vlc-config output.
libdvdplay installed (available from videolan CVS), and request plugins
compilation in the usual way:
--enable-dvdplay.
Note that libdvdplay needs libdvdread and libdvdcss.
Currently it has only been tested under linux, with gnome interface (optional)
and xvideo output.
What works (more or less):
-DVD reading in some rare cases :) (title and menus),
-Menu pause,
-Seeking,
-Selecting directly a specific title/chapter/angle,
-Changing audio, sub-picture, angle during playback,
-Interactive menus with mouse only.
What is missing:
-Menu buttons highlighting (needs spudec patch),
-Keyboard interaction (needs a specific part in port specific plugins),
-A specific interface to navigate through menus (needs that I move my ass),
-Interactive menus won't work with other output plugins so long as they
have not been patched to send mouse/keyboard events to vlc interface,
-Whatever you need.
Known bugs (bugs in libdvdplay mostly):
-Seeking in some menus or intro titles (bad vobu map),
-Read/seek error with some DVDs,
-the configure needs tweaking,
-numerous segfaults,
-decoder/output modules locking error,
-fuzzy colors in menus when spudec is active (default in menus).
The plugin is not guaranteed to work anywhere outside my computer. If it break your, don't come and complain to me :).
* include/input_ext-intf.h: killed p_es->b_audio, since i_cat already fills
its purpose.
* include/input_ext-intf.h: killed p_es->i_type in favour of p_es->i_fourcc.
* include/video.h: killed p_pic->p_plane->b_margin; now i_visible_pitch is
always valid.
* ./src/libvlc.h: replaced --mpeg-adec and --ac3-adec with --codec; see
vlc --help for more information.
* include/video.h: removed fourcc values which should _not_ be global
(thanks fenrir for convincing me).
* ALL: video output plugins use the VLC_FOURCC macro to build their fourccs.
* ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: removed the last remaining call to
input_ChangeES.
Things I'm not sure about and need comments:
- I used "mpga" and "mpgv" for MPEG (1+2) audio and video fourcc values.
- I also introduced "spu ", "lpcm" and "ac3 ".
- I removed for instance "MP4_GetCodec" because it wasn't really
used except for the description string. I hope this change did not
break anything really important.
- fenrir, I must have broken a lot of things you wrote. Sorry in advance.
