Description: fix ASX playlist parser

Basically our asx parser is broken. It doesn't handle relative links. It should also URL encode the hrefs (spaces in the url need to be converted to %20 etc). protocol rollover, authors, title's etc etc aren't handled. See <a href="http://www.meetnewplayers.com/bend/Windows%20Media%20-%20Fun%20with%20asx%20files2.htm">this</a> for asx examples. It is still located in the old demux/m3u.c module instead of modules/demux/playlist/

Description: LPCM
|
|
The LPCM decoder outputs really small samples which aren't accepted properly by the macosx coreaudio resampler, causing VLC to not output any sound with many DVD's. A test sample that shows this effect on the mac is the Madonna clip.<br />
|
|
This is now fixed, but there is a problem with buffers in the resampler that now sometimes overflows (or rather get changed after they are released). A good method for reproduction seems to be running Finding Nemo for a minute or 8.

- a OSD needs to be bound to a vout stream (no subs on goom vout)<br />

- In a first step, the need for a dialog provider can be easily omitted.<br />
|
|
- In theory, only a small amount of classes (6 or so) must be written for OS X, implementing predefined interfaces.<br />

- The code of <a href="http://www.fltk.org">FLTK</a> could be really helpful to identify the correct functions and see how to use them.

The SDL vout hasn't been updated for a long while. It needs some cleaning up. New hotkeys support, better resizing, alignment etc. Even though SDL isn't used much, this vout shouldn't disappear, because it is a crossplatform API.

Description: UDP packet reordering
|
|
Currently we ignore every packet that is too late and just wait for a fresh one.
|
|
It would be nice to be able to reorder the packets in the buffer to prevent degredation of the signal.

Description: Make vlm more user friendly (setup etc)
|
|
vlm is kinda a pain to setup if you are not entirely experienced with A/V and streaming or VLC for that matter.<br />
|
|
It can be heavily improved by updating the vlm http interface. Using seperate fields for the need paramters of a schedule/source.<br />
|
|
Also, GUI implementation.

Description: Protocol rollover
|
|
It would be cool if VLC supported something like a protocol rollover mechanism, much like WM server has as well. Multicast, UDP, TCP, HTTP etc.
|
|
However, how spec compliant can this be?<br />
|
|
We require a timeout on udp connecting. Beyond this a playlist file can be used to do a form of protocol rollover when one of the links fails ( or implement this in the new style playlist system [only advance index on failure]).

Find a way to deal with clients behind a NAT. Multicast and RTSP work 'poorly' in these setups. NATP2P, STUN, UDP hole punching, other techniques ????

Protocol rollover can be a solution for a lot of these issues.

More fancy stuff can be done with GL, like subpicture rendering.<br />

With recent hardware (and opengl shading language) stuff like dct, motion

compensation or postprocessing should be possible.

Description: Gnutella servlet
|
|
A simple gnutella servlet, combined with vlc's stream output/input features
|
|
would make it fairly easy to implement peercast streaming, and peercast
|
|
playback with restreaming. Also I guess gnutella could be used for other
|
|
things as well, like discovering services.
