* ./debian/control: gnome-vlc recommends vlc-plugin-esd, and kvlc recommends
vlc-plugin-arts.
* ./src/misc/messages.c: message queue now prints the current object type.
* ./modules/*: cosmetic fixes for the --long-help output.
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.
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.
* ./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.
* 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.
make package descriptions less misleading.
* ./bootstrap.sh: use C locale for generating vlc_symbols.h.
* ./bootstrap.sh: don't generate pofiles by default.
* ./src/libvlc.c, ./include/vlc/vlc.h: created reentrant versions of the
libvlc API.
* ./src/vlc.c: vlc uses the non-reentrant libvlc functions.
* ./mozilla/vlcplugin.c: the mozilla plugin uses the reentrant functions.
* ./debian/*: created packages for libvlc0-dev.
* ./src/interface/interface.c: interfaces are no longer attached only to
p_vlc.
* ./src/libvlc.c, ./src/misc/modules.c, ./src/playlist/playlist.c,
./src/input/input.c: improvements in the playlist handling (not quite that
yet though).
(ported from v0_4_1_branch)
* ./configure.in, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: fixed libdvbpsi handling.
* ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed the --nofoo option handling.
* ./src/interface/main.c: fixed two compilation warnings under Solaris.
As for video output 4, this breaks almost everything, but I'll slowly
do what remains to be fixed during the weekend.
Changes in vlc:
===============
* vlc is now a very small program (20 lines) which uses the libvlc API;
it is quite simple for the moment but can be extended in the future.
* interfaces, decoders, video outputs, etc. are now almost the same
objects (yes, I know, this is C++ redone in C) and are structured in
a tree. More about this later, but basically it allows the following
nice features:
- several interfaces
- several playlists with several outputs
- input plugins spawning helper interfaces (will be used for DVD menus)
- anything spawning anything; I swear there are useful uses for this!
* libvlc can be used in other programs; I'm currently writing a Mozilla
plugin for my employer.
Things currently broken:
========================
* most interfaces, most ports
* the playlist handling (almost finished rewriting this though). This means
no file can be played from the GUI, you need to use the commandline. This
also means it segfaults at EOF, when exiting the program, and it sometimes
refuses to open a file when asked to.
replaced the outdated author list with a "VideoLAN Team" entry.
* ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: deactivated the vlc-kde package because
it does not work, and removed the vlc-a52 package because liba52 is
statically linked into vlc.
* ./debian/control: added more helpful package descriptions.
* ALL: changed version to 0.3.0. Yeah, it's coming.
* ./Makefile: fixed make dist.
* ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: we look for libdvdcss.so.2 as well as -.so.1.
* ./configure.in: BSD/OS fixes thanks to Steven M. Schultz.
* ./Makefile: renamed the `snapshot' rule to `dist'.
* ./Makefile: removed the `snapshot-nocss' rule which isn't needed anymore.
* ALL: removed libdvdread from the vlc tree.
* ./acconfig.h: removed this file.
* ./plugins/dvd/dummy_dvdcss.c: merged this file into dvd.c.
* ./AUTHORS: moved a few gentlemen to the libdvdcss AUTHORS file.
* ./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'.
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 :-)
* 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
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.
"--memcpy <whatever>" to choose one from c, mmx, mmxext or 3dn.
Please test! Especially Athlon users.
* Added versioned build-dep to libasound2-dev (Closes Debian bug #121057).
* Updated Gtk/GNOME interfaces to use "udpstream" instead of "ts".
* Unrolled ChangeLog.
* 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.
