The BeOS port seems to work again.

   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 :)

related file with 100% reliability (great change that should make DVDs
with binaries and extra stuff work with vlc).

-Correction of a bug in ifo reading that falsified the adress of
video titles.

-Changed the method for selecting title at start. It is _not_ reliable
though, but it is better than the preceding one.

 * Tried to fix the BeOS interface and video output. Any BeOS developers
   listening ? I can't even test that code, it probably wants additional
   fixing.
 * Added a workaround in modules.c for broken libc's which happen to truncate
   filenames in dentry structures when using 64bits offsets. The kind of
   stuff you only see in RedHats <g>.
 * Made the SDL error messages a bit more useful.
 * The Gnome menu is now created when mouse is released, not when it
   is pressed. It may sound stupid, but it really makes a difference.

 * Upgraded version number to 0.2.61. Release is today.

 * Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
 * Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
 * Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
   need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
 * Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
 * Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
 * The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
   the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.

 * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible
   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).

-Beginning of udf support (not in Makefile)

 * made the vout_sdl.c functions static
 * ported vout_x11.c to the modules API; code isn't very nice yet though

 * X11 output works again. It's just the output, but it works; I now need
   to clean the code and add event handling.

Begining of TS Input

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

 * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins.

 * started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
 * a few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf

longer such an ugly kludge and is much more accurate.

-Changes in DVDSeek so that the interface slider is in 0 when we are at
the beginning of the strem.

-Try to detect the beginning of the movie in the middle of the title. It
works for most of the DVDs but will begin in the middle of the movie
with some others.

-Calculate only the first title key in css mode because it might take a
long time with some title. The search stops now when we have a key once
whereas it did stop only when we had it twice before. It should not
cause problems.

done on a multiple of 2048, and shopuld take care of the offset to the
beginning of the stream. It works with most of my DVDs by fails to
detect size of some streams.

-change of the order of call to ifo and css functions in input_dvd.c,
because we can't read ifo files before authentification on some DVDs.

-changed location of some css tables.

-we read ifo date and decrypt css keys for all titles now. It takes quite a
long time to initialize with some DVDs (if you have 42 titles for
instance). The key decryption might give a false value if the title is
less than 10 Mb ; I'm working on that :)

 * Quick patch to avoid a segfault when arbitrarily seeking the stream.

  Meuuh: you probably have a better solution for this ; I simply don't
  know the video decoder well enough to do it myself.

 * added --intf option to vlc
 * 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.

* Fixed a typo in my previous commit.

Most of DVD with movie in title 1 should work.

To come : support for movie in other titles.

 . removed tests against i_rate and i_new_rate calculation from the
   plugins and hid this complexity into input_ext-intf.c

  * Fixed my old stupid bug that disabled sound after having played the
    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 :)

 * The pure Gnome part of the Gnome interface has been rewritten from
   scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by
   installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade',
   or directly by hand if you grok XML.
 * Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the
   moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it
   quits when the end of the playlist is reached.
 * Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly
   useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too
   long.

  Beginning of Interface II
 ---------------------------

 * 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).

structures of DVDs
-Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD.

 . added comments to src/interface/intf_plst.c and include/intf_plst.h
   so that people understand how the playlist works.
 . updated the TODO list (34 items to do, 41 done !)

  GNU/Linux options ;
* Changed fseek() to fseeko() for 64-bit offsets ;
* Reset frame predictors on a stream discontinuity.

  and jump Backward in the SDL intf. Enjoy !

Maybe it would be a good idea to compile the DVD plugin on machines which
have one ? :pppp

 . moved the playlist handling from input/input.c to interface/interface.c
 . 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

plugins. I will fix that soon.
-minor modification in pluginification.

   This commit is a bit early, but it'll save Stef, Henri and me much
 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

2048 bytes.
-Some modifications in netlist to make it work with DVD.
-Fixed � bug in mpeg_system.c

We use INPUT_READ_ONCE many times in the input code. I think that
we should replace it with a field in input_thread_t to give more
flexibility to modules. I have done it in DVD plugin but it can't work
if input.c is limited by INPUT_READ_ONCE.

The DVD method is slower than input_ps ; but there are things to
improve.
CSS descrambling is broken.

Thanks to Meuuh, he's MORTEL ;)
