vlc/BUGS
Sam Hocevar 9e3ab283c2 * ALL: the first libvlc commit.
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.

List of known vlc bugs $Id: BUGS,v 1.14 2002/06/01 12:31:57 sam Exp $
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.
Decoders:
Audio output:
* Audio output stutters on some audio cards. For instance kwyxz's SB
128 with an es1371 chip.
Video output:
* 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.
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.

If I change the value of AOUT_FIFO_SIZE from 255 to 511, vlc segmentation
faults.
