Please try to keep this file up to date. Also, grep for FIXME in the
source files for more and more bugs to fix.
For information on how to post a useful bug report, please read
doc/bugreport-howto.txt.
Core:
* vlc_cond_broadcast unimplemented on most plaforms.
Input:
* DVD raw device support doesn't seem to work.
* HTTP input seems to lose packets during pre-parsing.
* TS input doesn't work under Windows 98 when the server address is
specified.
* Stopping and playing again a network stream often makes vlc crash
under Windows.
* segfault after "INPUT_MAX_ALLOCATION reached" error message. This seems
to be happening when an output plugin isn't "eating" the data buffers
allocated by a decoder. This happens for instance when the audio output
plugin fails but the audio decoder goes on as if nothing happened.
Decoders:
* Under Win32, the a52 plugin will segfault when switching to different audio
channels.
Audio output:
* Audio output stutters on some audio cards. For instance kwyxz's SB
128 with an es1371 chip.
Video output:
* We don't render subtitles on RGB surfaces.
* The MGA video output plugin makes the picture stutter when
MGA_NUM_FRAMES is set to a value higher than 1.
* The SPU decoder doesn't detect when the video output failed to
launch itself, and we segfault.
* On-the-fly resizing when using a chroma transformation doesn't work for
all plugins. Currently it is only implemented for x11 and SDL.
* The DirectX video output can't create overlays on some (even recent)
graphic cards.
* The alternate_fullscreen method of the x11 and xvideo plugins will
sometimes not switch to fullscreen.
Chroma transformations:
* Most chroma transformation modules completely ignore margins.
* Most chroma transformation modules restrict the width of a picture
to multiples of 8 or even 16. We can achieve better than that.
Filters:
* Most filters completely ignore margins.
Gtk interface:
* Playing like a madman with the `Playlist' button makes the interface
crash.
* No text in the status bar
* No window title on some machines, correct window title on another
Misc:
* The Jin-Roh DVD seems to segfault.
