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.
* 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.
SUPPORTED :
ts:toto:1234/meuh
--server toto --broadcast meuh --port 1234
The only supported syntax is :
udp[stream]:[//][serveraddr:[serverport]][@[bindaddr][:bindport]]
example : udpstream:toto@meuh:toto
In most cases, simply passing "udpstream:" should work, since it enables
unicast and broadcast reception on port 1234 from any server. Other
options are only used for fine tuning and multicast.
TODO :
* The GTK interface is broken (glade knowledge wanted !)
* Test this on all supported platforms (and fix them :)
[this won't work with current channel servers - fix needed]
* 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.
You now have to specify the broadcast address as an argument.
Btw, thanks to sam, you can now use ts://server:port style, which gives
for broadcast :
vlc --broadcast broadcast_addr ts://server[:port]
- Cosmetic changes : the word 'vlan' is disappearing
- network_ChannelJoin is still commented out as it's not in sync anymore
with our channel server. Nitrox should fix this within a week.
- X and Xv output : added autohide cursor as in SDL
- X and Sv : keys 1 to 0 change channel
- SDL : keys F1 to F10 change channel as I was not able to make 1..0 work
* Fixes to aout_darwin.c by Colin Delacroix <colin@zoy.org>.
* Fixes to configure.in, Makefile.in and main.c (Altivec detection)
by Eugenio Jarosiewicz <ej0@cise.ufl.edu>.
* Added Colin and Eugenio to the AUTHORS file.
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.
le flood, c'est la derni�re fois.
. apr�s le demoronifier, le GPLifier: il y a les ent�tes de la GPL dans
chaque fichier ; votre mission, si vous l'acceptez, est de mettre votre
nom dans chaque fichier qui est votre oeuvre ou auquel vous avez
particip�, pour qu'on sache qui a fait quoi. Pas de fausse modestie,
c'est plus pour des raisons pratiques que pour la gloire.
. rajout de -lthreads pour que �a linke sous Hurd
. rajout de quelques #include pour que �a compile sous FreeBSD
(d'ailleurs �a compile mais �a ne linke pas, je ne sais pas comment
linker avec la libpthread sur la machine de Dae)
. quelques #ifdef SYS_BSD �� et l�.
D�sol� pour le flood. Les en-t�tes de fonctions ne font plus 81
caract�res, et il n'y a plus d'espaces inutiles, Tous les trailing
spaces ont disparu, j'ai essay� de v�rifier que �a ne p�tait rien,
mais j'ai pu oublier un truc con. J'accepte tous types de ch�timents
� base d'orties fra�ches.
D�sol� d'avoir aussi modifi� les fichiers de ceux qui formataient
bien proprement leurs en-t�tes � 80 et pas 79 sans emb�ter personne,
mais j'ai d� choisir entre les deux.
Dor�navant ce serait bien de formater les en-t�tes et les commentaires
justifi�s � droite � 79 colonnes, ou au pire � 80.
. 1343 moronic long lines destroyed
. 12893 trailing spaces eradicated
. 115 ugly macros fixed
. 959 innocent a_bit_long lines shortened
But hey, 40054 lines were OK !
