* ./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'.
architecture. This plugin has also been through a major clean-up
and it is now much more robust and optimized.
* Fixed a few problems with the win32 build.
* Replaced the "overlay" command line option with "nooverlay". The
former was confusing and useless because overlays were used by
default anyway.
- removed AOUT_INTF_*_FIFO, which where not used
- factorized S16StereoPlay, U8MonoPlay, and so on.., in a single
function aout_FillBuffer (in aout_common.c)
(unsigned 8bit may be broken, but I have no stream to test with :(
- last step to be done: factorize aout_s8, aout_s16, ... thanks to a macro
already a system macro under MacOS X.
* ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: fixed vlc:loop, vlc:quit, etc. entries.
* ./plugins/glide/glide.c: activated double buffering.
* ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: started writing an xmga plugin; doesn't work yet.
* ./src/input/input.c: fixed the input memory leak, and the insane thread
spawning we got with vlc:loop.
* ./src/misc/intf_eject.c: disc ejection routine courtesy of Julien Blache,
currently Linux-only.
are now opened directly in the right mode (works with mpeg_adec and
ac3_adec, not tested with mad)
- first attempt to implement mono output (doesn't work yet)
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 :-)
* ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c et al.: vout4 now automatically
detects when two chroma formats are the same, such as UYVY/Y422, or
roughly equivalent, such as I420/YV12. Plugins need not worry about
conversion anymore.
* ./MODULES: added a short description of each module. Maybe we should
add more details to make this file really useful.
* ./doc/bugreport-howto.txt: wishful thinking...
* ./Makefile: added a workaround for the fact that .c files don't depend
on <videolan/vlc.h>.
* ./plugins/memcpy/memcpy.c: all memcpy modules are now built from the same
single file.
* ./src/interface/main.c: added the --nommx, --no3dnow, --nommxext, --nosse
and --noaltivec options to vlc.
* ./configure.in: removed the --disable-mmx option, now useless because
of the vlc --no* options.
* ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a crash caused by the memcpy module
being released too early.
* ./include/video.h: more vout4 changes, including margin support, more
FOURCC formats recognized, transparent support of identical or almost
identical FOURCC formats.
* ./include/video_output.h: added a vout_Render function to video output
modules which is to be executed before vout_Display.
* ./include/common.h: this header is back.
* ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed RGB conversion
functions, mostly taken from vout3's yuv functions, but heavily modified
to use FAST_MEMCPY and to handle image dimensions which are not multiples
of 16. Not all functions have been written yet, though.
* ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed YUV conversion
functions, various targets such as 4:2:2 YUYV, YVYU, UYVY, or 2:1:1 YUYV,
with accelerated MMX versions.
* ./plugins/chroma/i422_yuy2.c: same as i420_yuy2.c but takes planar YUV
4:2:2 pictures in input. With accelerated MMX versions as well. This plugin
makes it possible to display 4:2:2 files on most video cards without the
quality loss of 4:2:0 downsampling.
* ./plugins/filter/*: thanks to the vout_Render function, all filters now
output their data perfectly in sync.
* ./plugins/dvdread/Makefile: fix to prevent unnecessary target rebuilds.
* ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for YV12, UYVY, YUY2 and YVYU overlays.
* ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for I420, YV12, YUY2 and Y211 overlays.
* ./include/config.h et al.: this file is no longer generated.
* ./include/video.h: we use the FOURCC definition of a chroma format to
describe picture types (see http://www.webartz.com/fourcc/).
* ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: compilation fix by Eyal Lebedinsky.
* ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the XShm operations order.
* Fixed the ts plugin's input type detection.
* Fixed the BadCursor error in the x11 and xvideo plugins. For real this
time (unlike my 2001/08/03 fix :p).
* Made the wall filter work a bit better. It now spawns a 3x2 mosaic,
but this will eventually be configurable, � la `--filter wall:3x3'.
* 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.
in all decoders. Called it DecoderError() instead.
* All decoders enter DecoderError() in case of error, even if they
haven't allocated all their data. This prevents the input from getting
stuck if a decoder has failed its initialization.
* Namespace fixes through the decoder files.
* 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
* Support for REPORT_TITLE_KEY and RPC commands by H�kan Hjort
<d95hjort@dtek.chalmers.se>.
vlc changes:
* Minor coding style fixes (please avoid tabs).
calculated!), but worth a try. Use the following flags:
"--filter invert" for inverse video
"--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing
* Fixed a potential segfault if the subtitle stream was encountered
before the video stream.
* Misc vout4 fixes.
* Updated config.guess and config.sub from GNU's latest versions (bozo,
you may want to update them in vls as well).
* Added vlc.pot skeleton for translators.
* Put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that big and we
should not multiply header files.
* Added gettext support by Thomas Graf <reeler@reeler.org>, may be
broken on other platforms but we'll only see it when I'm finished
with vout 4 :-)
* Fixed a segfault on exit when no fast_memcpy module was found.
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.
* Updated documentation ;
* New --desync option, to delay the video (in case of lip desynchronization) ;
this is bad, but we have no other option for the moment ;
* Clicking in vout now pauses the stream, patch courtesy of Peter Surda.
input_thread_t structure, so that we may support multi programs
streams.
* Modified inputs to take account of this change.
* Modified input_clock.c so that it doesn't refer to pp_programs[0]
any more.
Now we should not refer to the first program, but to the selected
program. Functions to change the current program are coming.
"--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.
It' wouldn't compile on OSX without this.
*) Removed the mutex the vout and intf thread (were supposed to use)
for syncronizing acces to the p_vout->p_sys structure.
The p_vout->change_lock mutex is used for syncronization now. (and
should make synronization work)
now be included *before* threads.h ;
* Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h ; while I was
at it, I update the copyright notices ;
* Removed the obsolete darwin plug-in.
* Added bytes_swap.h to provide ntoh() and htol() on Win32. With this
change we don't have to link winsock2 with every plugin anymore. This
should also give us a slight speed increase.
* Added #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN in threads.h to speed-up compilation
on Win32.
* Modified ac_downmix_3dn and sse so they compile with the latest gcc for
Win32.
(PS: the dvdread plugin doesn't compile yet on Win32)
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]
In other words, file playback in 0.2.91 does not work. For de-
scheduling threads use a 0ms sleep instead of 1ms, as it was
causing problems under WinXP. I hope this does not introduce
problems under previous windows versions. I noticed it was
originally 0ms, but later changed to 1ms...
* 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.
* Some optimization in imdct (all data are now aligned)
* SSE downmix now works for windows
* SSE imdct is desactivated for windows (MINGW32 doesn't know how to aligned data)
1) Crack the title key (the method that was here before). The only change
here is that we search the key for the exact chapter we are seeking with
DVDSetArea (in case the key has changed within a title). It is maybe not a
good idea.
2) Crack the disc key, which allows us to decode instantly all title keys.
I've used an algorithm from Frank Stevenson ; it eats much memory (64MB),
and takes about 15 s at launch time.
3) Decode the disc key with player keys (libcss method). However, you need
licensed player keys at build time for that to work.
To choose between libdvdcss methods, a command line options is supplied:
vlc --dvdcss <method> where method is one of title, disc, key.
Note that all these changes only work with linux now, since we have to add a
specific ioctl to read title key. I hope that I haven't broken too many things.
* With -vvv modules now show up their scores ;
This afternoon I have been a little bored, so the feature of the day is :
* HTTP input support.
You can test it with :
./vlc http://mysite.com:80/mystream.mpg
It doesn't implement any kind of buffering, so make sure you have enough
bandwidth, otherwise you'll just get nothing.
It is compatible with HTTP proxy, just set http_proxy :
export http_proxy="http://proxy.mycompany.com:3128/"
Enjoy !
* Removed --enable-stats configuration directive. Stats are now activated
at runtime with --stats ;
* New intf_StatMsg() call ;
* Vout picture heap is now 8 pictures instead of 5 (better synchro) ;
* Tremendous enhancements in statistics display ;
* Better capabilities handling.
- performance boost ;
- fixed the "Dual Prime Arithmetic" bug ;
- 3DNow! motion compensation module ;
* BTW, fixed numerous bugs ;
* AC3dec statistics do not show up with --enable-stats, because I doubt
they're understandable by a normal human being, and they pollute the output.
* 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>.
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.
* Various debian scripts fixes.
* Added -lmsvcrt40 to the win32 flags for proper execution under Wine.
* Fixed broken soname setting under Solaris (and OS X, sort of).
* Made the illegal instruction report more explicit.
* BSD/OS 4.3beta1 fixes by Steven M. Schultz <sms@TO.GD-ES.COM>.
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.
* The video decoder thread is now also reniced to a lower priority on
Win32 (as in the linux version). This slightly increases the responsiveness of vlc.
* Fixed a bug when compiling KDE plug-in without Qt plug-in ;
* Now taking into account $KDEDIR ;
* Made SDL configure error messages more explicit ;
* --disable-sdl is now correctly taken into account ;
* Changed the order of evaluation of sdl-config and sdl11-config ;
* Finally fixed SDL*/SDL.h check ;
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 ).
* Fixed a bug in the video decoder initialization :-p ;
* Added --smp option and several hooks in src/input/input_ext-intf.c ;
* Grayscale mode now turns off chroma IDCT.
should have prevented the Win9x dvd input from working.
- Moved the "if(Win2k)" out of the loop in _win32_dvdcss_readv.
- Put a readv() function in input_iovec.h, the input_es now compiles.
- Modified input_ts to use this function.
- Fixed an initialisation bug in vout_directx.c
- Right clicking on the mouse now displays the navigation menu.
PS: If someone is willing to test the DVD input on Win95/98/Me I will
upload an up to date binary package.
- defined off_t as a long long. This allows DVD navigation to work.
This change is to be implemented on a compiler by compiler basis. For
now, it works on mingw32 (tested) and should work on MSVC (not tested).
- Implemented a quick and dirty hack in intf_msg.c to be able to display
long long integers with printf on Win32. This change is also necessary
to avoid segfaults when debug is enabled in vlc on Win32.
- few minor changes in the directx plugins.
- defined snprintf in common.h and removed a few #ifdef WIN32
and stderr to the specified file. This option should mainly be useful
on Win32.
- On Win32, vlc now has an icon associated to the .exe file, and is a full
GUI application (you don't have this annoying dos command box anymore)
- Added INSTALL-win32.txt for specific details to the Win32 port.
I've tested these changes on Win32 and Linux, let's hope I didn't break
vlc for other platforms.

Gildas
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).
* 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.
place
*send escape packet when changing title, not to be stuck in some
decoder.
*the position in the title is now resetted when we change title to
prevent a title from being unavailable because we're stuck at the end
*fixed a bug with 1-chapter-long title that displayed chapter 0.
*added a _temporary_ field in p_main to know whether the audio stream is
ac3 (ugly). It allows a vlc launched in spdif mode to play mpeg or lpcm
audio.
*cleaned the title property messages to get rid of the ugly stars.
time we restart the synchro (for scr discontinuity for instance)
*In DVD mode, we reinit the synchro only if the scr are not continuous
(instead of each cell)
*Try to improve ac3 spdif to prevent from desynchronization.
Notes: o I called it 'directx' instead of 'windx' because it
made a lot more sense to me.
o Completely untested. I didn't manage to compile it yet.
o Code in vout_directx.c will go through a big rewrite when
vout 4 is finished. Xav is already working on this.
-Fixed some bugs in interface (language menus in ts, misnamed fields)
-Play/Stop work in network mode to start/stop decoding of the stream
I have a segfault in imdct_3dn(93). But I can't underdand assembly.
* 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.
title/chapter/audio/spu/angle, we tell the input to do intead of doing
it inside the interface. It results in fewer locks during the changes.
*The dvd plugin reads again blocks of 32 sectors to gain speed since
there are no more lock-ups during stream change. I've also created a new
file that contain function to described video and audio streams with ifo
datas.
The changes are made only for gtk. We should update the other interfaces
soon (beos at least).
There is a memory corruption somewhere that make the vlc crash. I've no
idea where to search.
*added a b_stopped flag to interface playlist to have a stop function in
interface plugins. As a consequence, the playlist no longer loops on end
but wait for the user to press 'play' or to add another item (gtk/gnome
interface). I think that other plugins are broken but it shouldn't be
difficult to repair: just add a 'p_main->p_playlist->b_stopped = 0' in
play functions and 'p_main->p_playlist->b_stopped = 1' when you have to
stop.
*Updated gtk interface so that it has the same features as gnome. I
think I will merge the code so that we don't have to copy and paste each
change. Only the .glade file would be different.
If you have a PIII or a Athlon and you want to try this, just comment #if 0
in ac3_downmix.c and ac3_imdct.c and add in AC3_DECODER section of Makefile :
src/ac3_decoder/ac3_imdct_sse.o \
src/ac3_decoder/ac3_srfft_sse.o \
src/ac3_decoder/ac3_downmix_sse.o \
src/ac3_decoder/ac3_downmix_3dn.o \
which do not have a "stop display" command. Anime fans rejoice!
* Fixed the BeOS interface to use p_aout_bank instead of p_main->p_aout.
* Coding-style butchery (mostly tabs).
level corresponds now to the nb of -v to display the message.
*added functionnal preference window in gnome: it changes the
envirronment variables
*added jump window in gnome to jump to a precise time.
tuned appearence, added preferences window (with no features yet), jump
window to go to specified time (not functionnal yet), and fixed some
bugs.
*moved b_fullscreen from p_vout->p_sys to p_vout and unified way of
toggling fullscreen in sdl in x11/xvideo output (using p_vout->i_ch
nges) so that an interface plugin can toogle fullscreen (implemented
in gnome)
*added p_input->stream.p_selected_area->i_tell in input TS so that the
slider work with ts files ( however, the time counter doesn't since we
have no mux_rate )
*improved ac3 spdif output ( and made it work again :)). It uses a true
blank frame now, and it allows to switch languages like a traditionnal
output. It doesn't support multiplexing though, neither can we switch
between spdif/analogical mode on-the-fly.
*beginning of the back port of gnome to gtk for those who do not have
gnome.
* 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>.
cards: it sends raw ac3 frames to an external ac3 decoder. It is very
experimental yet, hasn't any synchro ... but it works well with my
sblive and my dtt3500 speakers (note that you need a patched emu10k1
driver for this to work).
-bug fix in gnome intf thanks to Shane Harper.
-bug fix in input_dvd for chapter change.
* Miscellaneous QNX compile fixes.
* Beginning of the mingw32 port by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>.
* Added Marcari and Gildas to the AUTHORS file.
(I commited the mingw32 port because it doesn't add any new code outside
the #ifdefs, but we won't tell a word about it for the moment. We don't
really need windows users whining about bugs, do we ?)
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]
* rc interface plugin for vlc control through /dev/stdin courtesy
of Peter Surda <shurdeek@panorama.sth.ac.at>.
* Support for `ts://foo:42' style input source:
vlc ts://vls.via.ecp.fr:1234
vlc ts://vls.via.ecp.fr
vlc ts:vls
vlc ts:vls:4321
As a side effect, the Gnome and Gtk "network input" buttons work.
callback on startup - InitBitstream prototype has changed ;
* Removed a buffer zeroing in video output - doesn't change anything
for me, does it for you ?
synchronized ; and menus have less chances to be changed when they're opened.
-added basic angle support ; this is a first try. It works with my 2
test-DVDs, but I'd like that people having DVDs with repeated scenes to
test it. We can choose angle with command line option -u (don't ask me
why :)
-a cosmetic change in css decryption.
Since config.h.in has changed, you have to re-run ./configure.
With warning level 1, you can see when a packet is allocated or freed; the
goal is to never call 'malloc' nor 'free', except at the beginning of the
stream.
The size of the different caches can be adjusted in plugins/mpeg/input_ps.h.
If 'free' is called too often, it means that a cache is too small, so try
to increase its size.
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...
* Updated icons.
* Removed redefinition of NULL in src/audio_decoder/adec_layer?.c.
* Created darwin_specific.c to store the program path at boot time.
(XXX: check that it didn't break the OS X port)
* Fixed a warning in netutils.c.
* Corrected an awful typo in the version name, I hope Lieutenant Commander
Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov will never set up us the bomb for that.
* Removed deprecated stuff from config.h.
* Disabled message queue by default.
* A few other changes in the CSS code, the BeOS issues should be fixed.
* Fixed a memory leak in gtk_callbacks.c (thanks to Dae).
- 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
I hope there won't be too many segfaults because of it ;)
A few parameters must be adjusted to optimize this method; I'll do it later
because Proba Stat sucks ;)
isn't available on the desired platform.
* replaced the `--warning' flag with the standard cumulative `-v' flag.
`-v' is like `--warning 3', and `-vvvv' is like `--warning 0'
(`--warning' is still valid for those used to it)
* cleaning in configure.in and Makefile.in, the Solaris port now
builds and runs properly.
* heavy butchering in the CSS and DVD ioctl code to put all architecture-
dependent code in dvd_ioctl.c
* added almost fully-functional /dev/dvd driver for MacOS X in
extras/DVDioctl; to build it:
% cd extras/DVDioctl
% pbxbuild
% kextload build/DVDioctl.kext # note: kextload has to be run as root
be aware that the license for the DVDioctl kernel extension is
not GPL but APSL, because I borrowed some code from the Darwin kernel.
-New function input_ToggleES for interaction with interface.
-Changes in gnome interface : navigation menus are now splited, there
are radio item in menus and the code should be better.
-First step for dvd_ifo rewritting. Now allocation/disallocation is
being done as it has to be.
-Fixed a bug in title management that make dvd like Seven 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.
* Added warnings for ac3 mantissa (we still have problems with AC3 on
MacOS X) ;
* Renamed WriteResource to avoid a namespace clash with Darwin's
WriteResource.
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.
###code is dirty###
Please clean it for me :P
(or at least, tell me how to clean it)
. Slightly modified playlist base interface
(Added a function to jump directly to an item, used for double clicking)
. Added manymanycallbacks
. Added the playlist dialog
. Added Dnd support for intf_window and the clist1
. support URI and plain file(s)/folder(s)
. Added "show/hide main window" menuitem in intf_popup
. Added bugs :P
Enjoy and please bug report.
interface.
It is a bit buggy yet, and some pieces of code need to change,
especially to handle better menus change when title change but it
eventually works.
- Added base of network support
Things to be done :
- Meuuh : fix the PCR synchronisation so that we can set b_pace_cntrol to 0
- Sam : find a way of specifing the type of media (file, net). For the
moment, the "--input ts" always call input_NetworkOpen
- Maybe sam : for the moment the working syntax is vlc --input ts
servername, it should nbe turned into "vlc --server servername".
Things that don't work (i'll work on this this week end) :
- stopping and retaking a stream
- a nice 'waiting for stream'
- we select all incoming streams. we should be able to select.
Things that haven't been tested :
- broadcast
- only tested with one stream.
Kick me if something is broken by my fault.
include/video_output.h
* Added boolean_t b_YCbr to vout_thread_s structure to flag YUV-YCbCr
decoding needed instead of YUV-RGB
* Will be removed later when video_output.c rewritten
src/video_output.c
* vout_CreateThread() initialises b_YCbr to zero
plugins/beos/*
* New BeOS video plugin that supports hardware overlays and new
MediaPlayer compatible interface
plugins/*
* Added YUV-YCbCr transforms
* 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.
* Added a fps display when toggling 'i' ;
* Fixed a bug in the video parser where one picture buffer was not
released at quit time ;
* Broke the mux_rate calculation, but hey guys ! it was already broken and
nobody noticed it.
(I've chosen 32 now), that doesn't use any memcpy anymore and is also much
faster. It is ready now for cell positioning in multi-angle DVD (to come
soon).
-DVD specific netlist adapted to 2048 bytes long blocks that contain
several data_packets.
-Modification in mpeg_system.c to use p_payload_start instead of
p_buffer (necessary for DVD plugin). It does not break other plugins
since they set p_payload_start to p_buffer
-New field i_read_once in input_thread_s to be able to read more than
the TS related 7 packets ; i_read_once is set to INPUT_READ_ONCE by
defaults but plugins can change it during initialisation.
Please check that nothing is broken :)
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.
found one DVD for which ifo seems false).
-Title and chapter selection on the command line (see -t and -T options)
It will allow to watch some DVD that went through menus by default.
-beginning of menus in gnome interface.
- Added DemuxPSI, DecodePAT and DecodePMT. Never tested which streams
where PAT or PMT are splitted in more than one section.
- Some TS files still don't work (matrix.ts i.e : no sound ),
others do ... i'll have to investigate.
Todo :
- What if data get unaligned ?
- Write NetworkOpen
- Try to find why I get no sound on matrix.ts
- Support Stream and program selection.
* 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.
There is a new capability in input type modules for setting the
attributes of a new area. It is set to NULL for PS and TS plugins.
It should be called for every title change, chapter change,
audio mode change or spu channel change.
But this part of code is not used at the moment, and is not completed
yet.
but still fails with some DVD for which the movie is not the first
Program.
As a consequence some DVD that worked before don't work anymore.
-Beginning of ideas to handle chapters and ES selection
I used this command to play an unencrypted DVD, but maybe there is a
better solution: ./vlc dvd:/dev/disk/ide/atapi/1/master/0/raw
Current problems: gcc doesn't like MMX-EXT instructions, and refuses
to have register %ebx being used in the main application. Grr.
,-- don't trust the CVS bot, it's Sam speaking here :)

deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
* Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
* Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
holes just need to be filled.
* Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
* The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
they are using X11 or SDL.
* The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).
Done :
- fixed netlist
- embryo : support TS video trough file ( kludgy ... )
Next :
- Write DecodePSI and DemuxPSI, wich will clean the kludges off
Then :
- Write NetworkOpen ( shouldn't be difficult )
Eventually :
- Deal with lost/corrupt packets
* 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 :)
---------------------------
* Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
* All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).
Note that this is _not_ Interface II, it's just a step forward. For
instance, it lacks the whole message passing scheme.
Things that should work:
* Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
* Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
* The old SDL keys still work.
Things that are broken or may be broken:
* Xlib calls are not locked yet, which may lead to "Unexpected async reply"
errors, and make the vlc segfault.
* Sound only works for the first file.
* The SDL vout_sdl.c file is absolutely ugly and kludgey.
* The vlc immediately quits when no filename is given as an argument. Not
a real bug, but still annoying.
* The Gnome menu does not work in fullscreen mode.
Things that will come soon, maybe tomorrow:
* Complete navigation buttons (fast forward, slow, etc.).
* File/Open menu to add files to the playlist.
* Return of the X11 video output for those of us who do not have SDL.
* Textmode interface for those of us who do not have Gnome.
* aout and vout autospawn (maybe).
. fixed a few warnings at compile-time
. fixed sound channel selection in playlist mode
. added a color message in the plugin bank because on peut bien d�conner
cinq minutes, quand-m�me
. we now spawn a new input thread for each file
. added a missing pf_close() because it's always cool to close files
after we read them
time later, when we don't have to backport modifications to input_*.c
What's new :
- playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
- input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/
What's broken :
- audio output might be broken on some streams ; have to investigate
What has changed :
- fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
- `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
- module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
verbosity on
. --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"
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 ?
kernel and from mpeg2dec. I still don't know how to detect if code
compiled with -mcpu=pentiumpro will run, since the cpuid arcanes are
quite obtuse to me. Perhaps we should also have a way not to load modules
if they have been compiled with a different CPU to avoid segfaults.
. 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.
duplication
. YUV transformations now use the new module API ; now only the vout
and interface still depend on the old plugin API
. changed TestMMX to TestCPU because we will be able to test for other
specific extensions (3DNow, SSE) for the forthcoming IDCT we'll
borrow to mpeg2dec (as usual :P)
. don't show "hiding module" messages anymore except in debug mode
. swapped C IDCT and Classic IDCT scores since the classic one seems
to be faster ; anyway you should use the MMX one
. fixed a Makefile bug under BeOS
. tried to fix the cpuid code so that it compiles under BeOS (Polux, can
you test it when you have time ?)
more than ever, � le client ne segfaulte pas �.
. there was still a problem upon quitting: sometimes the null packet
wasn't big enough to reach a decoder breakpoint, so I now create 10
of them (since I can't make it bigger) to be sure. Meuuh, what do
you think ?
. fixed the Makefile to spare a few variables here and there.
. reduced module hide delay, removed loading of the audio output
plugins since they are now modules.
. changed a few intf_Msg to intf_DbgMsg, and added "vout:", "intf:",
and so on in a few other messages.
. removed unused includes in the idct modules.
