   * Updated changelog.

2001-12-31 Monday 04:53  sam

   * Fixed detection of the esd plugin.
   * 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, ā la `--filter wall:3x3'.

2001-12-31 Monday 03:26  massiot

 * Fixed a bug in DecoderError.
 * Temporary kludge for vlc_mpeg_adec=mad ./vlc ...

2001-12-31 Monday 03:23  massiot

 Fixed a bug in DecoderError.

2001-12-31 Monday 01:21  massiot

 STABLE/HEAD merge ; backported the Next Generation Buffer Manager.

2001-12-31 Monday 01:13  massiot

 Miscellaneous typos.

2001-12-30 Sunday 07:09  sam

 Some heavy changes today:
   * 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.

2001-12-30 Sunday 06:31  sam

   * Duh. Reverted Håkan's patch. Adding the same target three times isn't
     a good idea.

2001-12-30 Sunday 06:10  sam

   * configure.in fix by Håkan Hjort.

2001-12-30 Sunday 06:06  sam

   * Backported the DecoderError() patch.

2001-12-30 Sunday 05:46  sam

   * Forgot a file in my last commit.

2001-12-30 Sunday 05:38  sam

   * Put ErrorThread() in input_ext-dec.h because it was the same function
     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.

2001-12-29 Saturday 03:44  massiot

 Fixed a cosmetic issue.

2001-12-29 Saturday 03:07  massiot

 Hidden gory buffer management details in a private section of data_packet_t.

 Next Generation Buffer Manager for DVD and VCD plug-ins.

2001-12-19 Wednesday 03:50  sam

   * Initialize SDL before opening the SDL audio output.
   * 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

     available. Closes Debian bug #111790.

2001-12-17 Monday 05:33  sam

   * Pathetic attempt at a 4:2:2 renderer and deinterlacer, combining the
     most awful line dropping techniques of both BOB and 422 to 420
     downscaling. Don't worry, it should only survive for a couple of days.

2001-12-17 Monday 03:48  sam

2001-12-16 Sunday 16:18  sam

   * Filter plugins. Not very polished (please don't look at how the dates are
     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.

   * Don't try to use gettext if we don't have GNU gettext. This may change
     in the future though (most GNU software seems to include a local copy of
     gettext in case the operating system doesn't provide it).

2001-12-10 Monday 04:53  sam

   * Removed unused code (intf_channels.c, keystrokes.h).
   * 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.

2001-12-09 Sunday 17:08  sam

2001-12-09 Sunday 17:01  sam

   * COMPLETE CVS BREAKAGE !! The MAIN branch is going to be a playground
     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.

     rid of #include "config.h" in most files as well.

2001-12-07 Friday 16:47  jobi

 * added functions in inputs to change the current program (most of

 * Clicking in vout now pauses the stream, patch courtesy of Peter Surda.

2001-12-05 Wednesday 10:30  massiot

 Fix for altivec detection (courtesy of walken).

2001-12-05 Wednesday 03:31  jobi

 * Added 2 fields, p_selected_program and p_new_program, to the
   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).

  * DeleteDecoderConfig wasn't freeing (anymore) the packets left in the
     decoder fifo. This bug was creating an io_vec starving on title change
     when playing DVDs.

2001-11-30 Friday 00:34  stef

 -Update for libdvdcss documentation

2001-11-29 Thursday 17:24  jobi

 Moved #include <string.h> to macosx plug-in instead of threads.h, as in
 other plug-ins.

2001-11-29 Thursday 01:01  fgp

   *) Added "#include <string.>" to include/threads.h
      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)

2001-11-28 Wednesday 15:08  massiot

 * Added error checking in pthread wrapper ; as a result, intf_msg.h must
 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.

2001-11-27 Tuesday 11:14  massiot

 More WIN32 portability fixes.

2001-11-27 Tuesday 10:58  massiot

 Disabled dvdread by default since it causes many portability problems.
 Enable it with --enable-dvdread.

2001-11-27 Tuesday 10:50  massiot

 Fixed a compilation issue under Win32

2001-11-27 Tuesday 10:18  massiot

 Fixed a potential packet corruption in the DVD input (I suspect this
 might be the cause of the OS X problem - please confirm).

2001-11-26 Monday 23:06  marcari

 * changed the protocol version for communication between vlc and vlcs
 from 12 to 13 (due to change from ts:// to udpstream://)

2001-11-25 Sunday 22:52  gbazin

  * Big clean-up to allow compiling every module as plugins.
  * 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)

2001-11-25 Sunday 05:04  stef

 Support for libdvdread.

 Libdvdread files are in extras/libdvdread. They have not been changed from
 those of libdvdread 0.9.2. The changes are in the subdirectory videolan.
 They basically consist of a new function in the API that does a readv()
 instead fo a read().

 The library is statically linked with libdvdcss from extras/libdvdcss, and
 the whole is statically linked with the plugin dvdread. Dvdread can only be
 compiled as a builtin module for the time being, I think (which means I
 haven't tried to compile it as a plugin).

 Basically, input_dvdread.c is a copy and paste from input_dvd.c with a few
 changes to use libdvdread calls. It is still in very alpha stage, but it
 should offer the same features as the current DVD input.

 It can be called with either the syntax: "dvdread:/dev/dvd"
 or "--input dvdread /dev/dvd". The command line switches (-t, -T, -c, -u)
 should work too.

2001-11-25 Sunday 01:26  sam

   * Added "Video" menu hint to debian/*menu (Closes Debian bug #121036).

2001-11-23 Friday 18:47  massiot

 Major rewrite of the network layer. The following syntax ARE NO LONGER
 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]

2001-11-21 Wednesday 22:33  jlj

 Don`t use long long, use u64/s64 (int_types.h).
 Fixed a stale pointer in mpeg_vdec_Run().

 * the network window of the interface reports the values of the environment
  variables.

 * channels mode excludes vls configuration

 - The ./configure script is more friendly for Win32 users.
     ( xvideo, x11 and dsp plugins are not enabled by default for win32,

 The default file-translation mode was not being set under win32.
 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...

   * configure now compiles the VCD plugin if linux/cdrom.h is present.

2001-10-23 Tuesday 03:06  jobi

 Added VCD input plugin for Linux :

 The Linux specific stuff is located in linux_cdrom_tools files.
 For the time being, it only has title (tracks). Chapters will come if I
 ever can read .vcd files.
 I've modified Gnome and GTK+, not the others.
 I've noticed a big bug, it segfaults at the end of a title. I will
 have a look on this tomorrow.
 Please be indulgent, it's my first peace of code ;-)

 Use of an environment variable to choose libdvdcss method.

2001-10-13 Saturday 15:34  stef

 New features for libdvdcss: we have three ways now to decode a title key.

 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.

 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 !

   * Minor changes to the (non-working) ncurses interface.

  Changes to libdvdcss (courtesy of Håkan Hjort <d95hjort@dtek.chalmers.se>):

   * If we see 3000 unencrypted blocks assume that the title is unencrypted.
   * If we have not seen any encrypted block and then discover that the block
     just read is not a valid block of an MPEG2 Program stream, assume that the
     title is unencrypted.
   * Empty keys (for unscrambled sectors) are now cached as well.
   * We try to decrypt the file even if DVD ioctls are not available.

   * ./configure now checks for an installed libdvd under BSD/OS and
     falls back to ours if not found.
   * Fixed harmless typos in yesterday's Solaris libdvd patches.
   * Bumped libdvdcss version number up to 0.0.3 ; release will probably
     follow once the BSDI changes have been tested.

   * Found out how to type 'å' 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.

   * libdvdcss* packages are now a bit more policy-compliant.

2001-08-06 Monday 13:27  sam

   * Added a dummy libdvdcss so that the DVD plugin can be used without
     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.

 * Fixed a bug in ac3dec_CreateThread() in ac3_decoder_thread.
 * On Win32, open() will now open files in binary mode by default.

 * Fixed a segfault in PSEnd in input_ps.c
 * 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.

   * Updated version numbers for imminent release.
   * Fixed the --with-dvdcss flag:
      o --with-dvdcss - build libdvdcss, link statically (also default behaviour)
      o --with-dvdcss=local-static - build libdvdcss, link statically
      o --with-dvdcss=local-shared - build libdvdcss, link dynamically
      o --with-dvdcss=/foo/bar - don't build libdvdcss, use libdvdcss in /foo/bar
   * Fixed an omission in the dvdcss.h header.

2001-07-27 Friday 01:05  sam

   * Changed libdvdcss API to force binary incompatibility. Yeah, this is
     evil, but if we don't do it now we'll have to do it when more people
     are using it.
   * Fixed minor libdvdcss stuff such as the soname and compilation flags.
   * New --with-dvdcss flag.
     Explanation:
      o default: build libdvdcss, statically link vlc against it.
      o --with-dvdcss=no: build libdvdcss, dynamically link vlc against it.
      o --with-dvdcss=yes: don't build libdvdcss, use already installed one.
      o --with-dvdcss=/foo: don't build libdvdcss, use libdvdcss from /foo/*.
     (this looks a bit strange to me, I'll find better flag settings)

 - Fixed 2 Win32 bugs in libdvdcss (in _win32_dvdcss_readv), one of them
     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.

   * libdvdcss enhancements by Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>. This breaks
     vlc's DVD input (looks like decoders are expecting data too early and
     DVD input can't cope with it due to decryption). Needs to be investigated.
   * Plugins are now compiled in plugins/* and libraries in lib/*.
   * The KDE UI compiles again but does not work yet.
   * ALSA plugin message corrections.
   * Calculation modules can now be calledwith a shorter name
     (eg. '--downmix mmx' instead of '--downmix downmixmmx').
   * Fixed insane verbosity of the SDL plugin.

 * Optimization in SSE

2001-07-08 Sunday 17:45  gbazin

 Win32 changes only:

  - 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

2001-07-07 Saturday 17:45  sam

   * Probably fixed the "X eats more and more CPU" bug. Please test.
   * mingw32 cross-compilation issue fixed.

2001-07-06 Friday 08:43  sam

   * Small optimization in vpar_blocks.c, sparing a few memset() calls.
   * Additional error checking in vout_sdl.c.
   * Minor manpage fix, conforming to Debian policy version 3.5.5.0
     (Closes Debian bug #99561).

2001-07-01 Sunday 08:49  gbazin

 - Portablility fix: We now control the name to be used in the assembler
     code for a C function or variable.
     GCC for Win32 normally prepends an underscore to the name of a
     C function or variable, and the inline assembler code was using the
     name without the underscore so we had undefined symbols in some
     modules.
 - Reenabled all the accelerated modules on Win32.

2001-06-28 Thursday 22:12  gbazin

 - a few bug fixes for the directx plugin.
 - removed the custom usleep function for win32 as we don't really need
     this accuracy, and it was eating cpu resources.

2001-06-27 Wednesday 09:53  massiot

 Elementary Stream input plugin (use it with --input es). Only works with
 video streams at the moment.

2001-06-27 Wednesday 06:29  gbazin

 - Added command line option '--stdout <filename>' which redirects stdout
     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.

   * Added gprof profiling support with --enable-profiling.

     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.

 ac3 (ugly). It allows a vlc launched in spdif mode to play mpeg or lpcm
 audio.

   * Applied old FreeBSD patch for dvd input by German Tischler.
   * Found what was causing the slowdowns: a namespace collision. Put all
     plugins into builtins again.

2001-06-07 Thursday 01:10  sam

   * Put most builtins in plugins again due to performances issues (more
     about this in a forthcoming post here).
   * Fixed the painfully slow build process (at last!).
   * Moved the null plugin together with the dummy one.
   * Added new dummy input plugin.

    More on the dummy input plugin: we'll use it to insert commands in
   the playlist. Currently implemented are the "quit" and "pause" functions,
   here are examples on how they are used:

     vlc file.mpeg vlc:quit                # exit after file.mpeg has been read.

     vlc file1.mpeg vlc:pause:3 file2.mpeg # pause 3 seconds before playing
                                           # the next file.

    From now we can more efficiently benchmark vlc. For instance, to test
   the video output changes I am doing, I use such a command:

     time vlc -I dummy --noaudio file.mpeg vlc:quit

    Future extentions might include more interesting stuff like "switch
   to full screen", "repeat next file 3 times", "switch to SDL video
   output"...

   * 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.

     aout and vout banks.

2001-05-25 Friday 04:23  sam

   OS X fixes:

   * Applied Eugenio's fix to the DVDioctl driver. I didn't test it, but
     it should not hang the kernel anymore.

   * Ported most dvd_ioctl.c functions to the DVDioctl driver: ReportAgid,
     ReportChallenge, ReportKey1, ReportASF, InvalidateAgid, SendChallenge,
     SendKey2. They should comply with the "Mt. Fuji Commands for Multimedia
     Devices" paper.

     Last remaining problem: ReadCopyright and ReadKey. The version of
  Darwin I have here only has reportKey() and sendKey() functions in
  the IODVDBlockStorageDevice class (pages 413 and 449 of the Mt. Fuji
  paper), but we also need the READ_STRUCTURE (page 357) which I couldn't
  find anywhere in the kernel headers. Either I missed it, or we'll have
  to wait for Apple to implement it (or maybe we can emulate this command
  with some other IOKit commands).

 *More cleanification in gtk interface: now to change the
 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.

 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.

 Put a little note in the doc about "dvd devices"

2001-05-11 Friday 15:10  sam

   * Fixed a deadlock in spudec.

2001-05-10 Thursday 06:47  sam

   * Added SPU cropping.
   * Gnome interface segfault fix.
   * BeOS interface segfault fix by AnEvilYak (what's you real name btw?).

   Note: if you want to have a look at the currently buggy YUV subpictures,
         uncomment line 1999 of src/video_output/video_output.c. Don't report
         bugs about this, I _know_ it's a quick hack.

2001-05-08 Tuesday 20:38  sam

   * Fixed an aspect ratio issue in the SPU decoder, and optimized the
     SPU renderer.

2001-05-08 Tuesday 14:53  bozo

 end of the last commit :-P

2001-05-08 Tuesday 14:38  bozo

   - fix a discontinuity bug in input_ClockManageRef()

2001-05-08 Tuesday 00:43  sam

   * Speed optimization in the handling of the unusual ephemer DVD subtitles.
   * Little optimization to bozo's UnalignedShowBits fix.
   * Race fix in the packet cache by Jon Lech Johansen <jon-vl@nanocrew.net>.

2001-05-07 Monday 13:52  bozo

   - fix a bug in UnalignedShowBits that makes some _heavy_ unaligned streams
     not wotk correctly (for instance VLS' generated TS streams)

2001-05-07 Monday 04:42  sam

   * Added support for some terribly braindead DVD subtitles in Kenshin
     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).

2001-05-07 Monday 03:14  stef

 *Changed the level arg in intf_WarnMsg so that it is more logical: the
 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.

2001-05-06 Sunday 18:32  stef

 *Much work on the gnome interface: added oct's playlist from gtk plugin,
 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.

2001-05-06 Sunday 04:32  sam

   * Fixed a few warnings with gcc 3.0.
   * 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.

2001-05-02 Wednesday 20:01  sam

   * FreeBSD CSS decryption support.

2001-05-02 Wednesday 13:30  henri

 * Corrected vlc-howto thanks to Arnaud Gomes-do-Vale
 * Fixed a segfault in TS input. Some stream still do not work, or
   work very slowly with many error messages. I'll try to have a look.

2001-05-01 Tuesday 15:12  sam

   * Fixed a remaining buffer overflow in the Gnome interface and applied
     the patches to the Gtk+ interface.

2001-05-01 Tuesday 12:22  sam

   * Fixed a segfault in the SPU decoder initialization.

2001-05-01 Tuesday 04:18  sam

   * Mandatory step for video output IV and the audio output quality
     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>.

2001-04-30 Monday 21:04  reno

   * BeOS crash fix by Wade Majors <guru@startrek.com>.

     Please, try no to forget the ChangeLog when commiting!

2001-04-29 Sunday 14:52  stef

 -slight modification in ClockManageRef: after a synchro reinit, we still
 do the mwait and re-init last-cr so that there no date irregularity.
 Such a thing is necessary for dvd playback at cell change ; however,
 Meuuh, could you look at that since you might think we should do
 otherwise.

 -turned the "bitsream callback discontinuity" message to debug.

 -removed modification of the title environnement variable in input dvd
 at title change since we no longer restart the input at title change.

2001-04-29 Sunday 02:55  stef

 Forgot one file.

2001-04-29 Sunday 02:48  stef

 -new audio output using direct ac3 pass-through with some sound
 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.

2001-04-28 Saturday 23:19  henri

 - Fixed a bug in TS input. It should be more smooth now
 - Fixed the pace control. Meuuh, could you check ?

2001-04-28 Saturday 05:12  sam

   * Don't use the #@%&$! autoconf-suggested CFLAGS.

2001-04-28 Saturday 03:36  sam

   * Coding style fixes here and there.
   * 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 ?)

2001-04-28 Saturday 00:28  henri

 Added a howto. Feel free to correct it. I'll put it on the website soon.

2001-04-27 Friday 19:29  massiot

 Change --enable-debug into --enable-trace. Same with DEBUG_*.
 --enable-debug still exists, but only activates -g and additional
 safety checks.

 I hope I didn't break anything :))

2001-04-27 Friday 18:07  henri

 Repaired broadcast support : binding INADDR_ANY doesn't seem to work.

 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]

2001-04-27 Friday 16:08  sam

   * Fixed the continuous 'seeking position' bug in network mode.
   * 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.

2001-04-26 Thursday 03:55  sam

   * Commited Shane's XVideo patches. It works here (tm).
   * Fixed the XVideo aspect ratio (AR_SQUARE_PICTURE means square pixels,
     not square image).

2001-04-25 Wednesday 20:54  massiot

 * Removed my optimization attempt.

2001-04-25 Wednesday 10:22  massiot

 * Fixed an alignment issue with the bit stream and the bit stream
 callback on startup - InitBitstream prototype has changed ;
 * Removed a buffer zeroing in video output - doesn't change anything
 for me, does it for you ?

2001-04-25 Wednesday 09:31  sam

   * Updated the TODO list.
   * Fixed benny's latest C++ism.
   * Fonts not found are no longer fatal to the video output.

2001-04-25 Wednesday 06:56  benny

 Get rid of the asprintf that were slow and not available on Solaris. Didn't
 check if the new code still compiles everywhere, but it should.

2001-04-22 Sunday 00:08  stef

 -better handling of angles: you should be able to change on the fly now

 -removed ā bug added at my last commit in css code; cleaned CSSGetKey

 -various changes and bugfixes in the gnome interface.

   * Added prototypes for the Elementary Stream input module for Alexis.
      it's compiled by default, to activate it: "vlc --input es <file.mpeg>"

2001-04-20 Friday 11:06  sam

   * Fixed build process when no plugins or no builtins were chosen.
   * Makefile changes to get around MacOS X's brain-damaged gcc.
   * FreeBSD configure and Makefile patches, courtesy of Espen
     Skoglund <esk@ira.uka.de>.

2001-04-20 Friday 05:40  stef

 -corrected some bugs in gnome interface: language menu are now
 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.

   * Merged Makefile.common and Makefile.modules.in into Makefile.modules
   * Updated version number and ChangeLog to 0.2.72
   * Additional plugin Makefile cleaning, probably the last.

2001-04-16 Monday 12:34  asmax

 Re-added the new packet allocation method in PS input, using packet caches.
 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.

2001-04-16 Monday 07:40  sam

   * Added .cvsignore files in the plugins directories.
   * Additional Makefile cleaning for built-in modules.
   * Fixed Makefile for Solaris target.

2001-04-15 Sunday 15:11  sam

   * All Debian packages are now lintian-clean.
   * Fixed XVideo plugin linking.

2001-04-15 Sunday 10:54  sam

   * Updated TODO list with Henri's Apr 6th post.
   * Built-in modules support almost finished.

     Now you can compile any module within vlc, even the Gnome, Qt, SDL
   and GGI modules at the same time, resulting in an awful extra fat
   vlc binary with gazillons of library dependecies.

     The only exception is that the Gnome and Gtk+ modules can't be
   compiled together into vlc. But you can have one compiled built-in
   and the other as a plugin.

     Another consequence is that libdl should no longer be needed under
   MacOS X. I'll check this as soon as possible.

2001-04-15 Sunday 04:46  sam

   * A few Makefile fixes for BeOS
   * XVideo patches by Shane Harper

2001-04-15 Sunday 04:19  sam

   * Beginning of the built-in modules support.

    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...

2001-04-14 Saturday 07:41  sam

   * Got rid of the sleep() hack in beos_specific.cpp
   * Fixed a segfault when launched without argument under Darwin.

2001-04-13 Friday 14:33  sam

   * Fix for Darwin program path handling. I mistakenly assumed that the
     program path was always absolute.

2001-04-13 Friday 06:20  sam

   * Updated version number to 0.2.71 (release today).

   * Merged 6 months of CVS logs to the ChangeLog file.
     The vlc changelog can now be viewed here:
        http://www.videolan.org/vlc/changelog.html

 TS input : only one audio & spu ES selected at a time
 Intf : ts streams in menu
        fixed a typo

 There be certainly need for debug on the TS input as vls complains about
 wrong sized PES packets, and that many streams do not seem to work.

 btw, I forgot to mention in my last commit the function that nooone will
 ever use : "right button" key of 105 keys keybords support under X11,
 Xv, Sdl

 Fixed a dumb mistake in Makefile.in

2001-04-11 Wednesday 13:30  ej

 Updated & cleaned up intf_macosx.c and vout_macosx.c - added Open menu
 function support and a no-frills About box

 Created macosx_common.h in plugins/macosx/ to hold , well, common stuff
 (the way I see it, there is inherently a difficult separation of intf and
 vout on Mac OS, if anyone has suggestions I'm open)

 Cleaned up debug spew I left in modules.c and video_text.c

 Hacked main.c to disregard argv[1] when compiled for OSX & run as a full
 app (ie., double clicked and not launched from command line)... read the
 file for more details.  UGLY.

 Updated Makefile.in to make vlc.app by default on Mac OS X & Darwin, added
 clean code for it as well

2001-04-11 Wednesday 12:52  sam

   * Fixed icons location and Debian desktop menus.

2001-04-11 Wednesday 04:31  sam

   * 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).

2001-04-11 Wednesday 02:01  henri

 - Ported the 0.2.0's channel changing functions
 - 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

     warnings when compiling with GCC 3.0pre.

2001-04-05 Thursday 16:37  asmax

 switched back to the old packet allocation method for PS input, because
 Sam does not want the new one ;)

2001-04-05 Thursday 14:00  asmax

 Added a new packet allocation method that punish one's mother in PS input.
 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 ;)

2001-04-05 Thursday 03:50  sam

   * added the GNU getopt library, which gets compiled in when getopt_long
     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.

2001-04-03 Tuesday 03:39  stef

 -Fall back to one-packet-once reading in dvd input since multi-block
 seems to have a bug that make the vlc crash on title/audio/spu change. I
 hope that this bug will be fixed soon for the performance is poorer now

 -add-ons and changes in gnome interface:
         *menu subdivision is done only if there are over 20 items,
         *in DVD mode next/prev apply to title,
         *in DVD mode, added a box with button to navigate through
          chapters.
 This has not been finished yet (and it is not in gtk plugin then). And I
 think I will leave toolbar next/prev buttons for playlist and add
 button specifically for title change like for chapters.*

2001-04-02 Monday 23:30  sam

  * fixes for the Qt plugin compilation under Debian

  * 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.

2001-04-01 Sunday 07:31  stef

 -Various bug fixes in dvd_netlist. Some bugs seem to remain though.
 -New function input_ToggleES for interaction with interface.

    * SDL fixes and enhancements by Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>

    Shane, I removed the static variables from your code because static
    is not thread-safe, and one can imagine having several video output
    windows launched at the same time. Also, I made your feature work
    in windowed mode as well, because people kept asking how to hide the
    mouse pointer.

    Also, if you want to work on the XVideo extension, you are welcome ;
    most of us are quite busy at the moment. Damien Lucas <nitrox@via.ecp.fr>
    had offered to work on it, but he seems to be a bit lost, so you may
    want to take over his job.

    As for the "zoom" feature, I suggest you wait until version 4 of the
    video output is done, it'll be easier to do then.

 Regards,

   * Bug fixes and enhancements in the Gtk+/Gnome interfaces.

    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.

 Hurg !
 ###code is dirty###
 Please clean it for me :P
 (or at least, tell me how to clean it)

 -Working menus for run-time audio/spu/title/chapter selection with gtk
 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.

   * Disabled network input under BeOS so that it compiles again. We'll
     have to wait for BONE anyway.

2001-03-07 Wednesday 00:18  henri

 - Fixed TS input ( a nasty dead lock had appeared 4 days ago )
 - 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.

 -New function for DVD reading, that is able to read multiple blocks
 (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 :)

2001-02-28 Wednesday 05:20  sam

   * Additional optimizations to the subtitle decoder
   * The GGI video output should now be faster. Also, right-mouse-clicking
     works in GGI mode as well.

2001-02-26 Monday 17:41  sam

   * Optimizations done to the SPU decoder. Now the RLE is expanded at
     decoding time, not rendering time. The main loop in vout_RenderSPU
     is now 20 lines long.

2001-02-26 Monday 12:16  sam

   * The Gtk+ interface is now built as a Debian package as well. The Gnome
     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.

 -New ES detection based on .ifo for DVD module. It might fail (I have
 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.

 Some changes in the BeOS video output :
 - New video output method, the vlc now uses BBitmap instead of
   BDirectWindow (better performances)
 - Added resizing
 - Added beta support for overlay

2001-02-21 Wednesday 11:49  sam

   (note: empty CVS mails mean that a new directory has been created,
    don't forget to use the -p option if you cvs update)

   * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
     people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
     have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
   * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.

 TS Input :
 - 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.

 Second step in area management ; everything is in place now to have
 title handling; it is coming :)

   * Ported Glide and MGA plugins to the new module API. MGA never worked,
     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.

  First serie of changes in DVD module for the forthcoming interface menus
  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.

 Program.

   * configure.in and Makefile.in patches for better SDL support and
     support for $(bindir) $(datadir) and $(libdir) stuff, courtesy
     of Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <misiek@pld.ORG.PL>
   * Ported ggi.so to the new modules API. As for the other modules, only
     the "q" key works. Moreover, VLC doesn't exit cleanly if you close the
     GGI window.
   * Deactivated non-working widgets in the Gnome interface.
   * Added CONTRIBUTORS file.

   Hint of the day: don't expect to code quite long in your bed when sleepy.

2001-02-18 Sunday 10:24  sam

    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 :)

 -UDF filesystem support so that we know the location of the first video
 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.

2001-02-17 Saturday 08:48  sam

  * 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.

2001-02-16 Friday 09:25  sam

  * 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.

2001-02-16 Friday 06:37  sam

  * 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).

2001-02-15 Thursday 03:01  sam

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

2001-02-14 Wednesday 15:58  henri

 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

2001-02-14 Wednesday 14:31  sam

  * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins.

2001-02-14 Wednesday 07:48  sam

  * updated version information to 0.2.60 -- today's release
  * started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
  * a few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf

2001-02-13 Tuesday 04:29  sam

  * 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.

2001-02-12 Monday 13:20  massiot

 * We can now seek at position 0 :p ;
 * Fixed a typo in my previous commit.

2001-02-12 Monday 11:22  massiot

 * Tried to enhance picture dating on timebase discontinuities.

2001-02-12 Monday 09:39  sam

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

2001-02-12 Monday 07:52  sam

   * 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 :)

2001-02-12 Monday 00:20  sam

  * 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.

2001-02-11 Sunday 01:15  sam

   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).

  . 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 !)

2001-02-08 Thursday 17:44  massiot

 * Portability : changed off64_t to off_t and activated appropriate
   GNU/Linux options ;
 * Changed fseek() to fseeko() for 64-bit offsets ;
 * Reset frame predictors on a stream discontinuity.

2001-02-08 Thursday 13:52  massiot

 * Implemented basic stream navigation function, and bound Jump forward
   and jump Backward in the SDL intf. Enjoy !

2001-02-08 Thursday 13:08  massiot

 * Pause function implemented ('p' key).

2001-02-08 Thursday 07:24  sam

  . 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 déconner
    cinq minutes, quand-męme
  . 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

 -solved bug with cssdescrambling. The vlc might segfault with dvd
 plugins. I will fix that soon.
 -minor modification in pluginification.

2001-02-08 Thursday 04:43  sam

    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

2001-02-08 Thursday 01:34  stef

 -New method using netlist to read packets on DVD device by sectors of
 2048 bytes.
 -Some modifications in netlist to make it work with DVD.
 -Fixed ā 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.

2001-02-08 Thursday 00:46  reno

 We can now choose the speed of forward (between 32/1 and 1/8)

 Thanks to Meuuh, he's MORTEL ;)

 * Functional fast forward and slow motion API ;
 * Dirty hack in the SDL intf to bind "a" (fAst forward), "s" (Slow motion)
 and "p" (Play).

2001-02-07 Wednesday 15:32  massiot

 * Centralized clock management, preparing for stream navigation ;

2001-02-06 Tuesday 00:56  nitrox

 . Fixed a FIXME in SDL: p_vout->p_sys is no more used in intf_sdl.c
 . Used instead p_vout->i_changes like in x11

2001-02-05 Monday 21:00  sam

  . disabled SDL parachute to let the vlc dump a core instead of staying stuck
  . patched 2 debian bugs
     (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=vlc)
  . improved the snapshot generation

2001-02-04 Sunday 03:06  sam

  . removed obsolete video_yuv_mmx.S
  . updated the TODO list and wrote a small todo.pl parser to make it
    easier to see which items remain to be done
  . `make snapshot' now creates vlc-*.tar.gz and vlc-*-nocss.tar.gz

2001-01-31 Wednesday 03:42  sam

  . version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo
  . --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"

2001-01-31 Wednesday 03:24  sam

  . version 0.2.0 pour la linux expo

 * Fix for assholes who don't have a dvd players. :pppp

2001-01-30 Tuesday 05:48  sam

  . not a very nice hack, but will probably spare us a few user complaints: if
   no -a option is specified, the vlc will play the first audio type it finds,
   so there is no need to specify "-a ac3" for a DVD anymore.

2001-01-29 Monday 06:28  stef

 *Some cleaning in the dvd authentification code

 Now it generates a valid title key, but there is no sector descrambler

2001-01-21 Sunday 01:36  massiot

 * Various miscellaneous minor optimizations of the video parser.

2001-01-20 Saturday 20:59  stef

  . changed program version to 0.2.5 (preparing 0.3.0 release).
  . changed codename to Urumov
  . cleaned a lot of stuff in the Debian package generation.

2001-01-18 Thursday 05:13  sam

     The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your
   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 ?

2001-01-17 Wednesday 18:17  massiot

 * Borrowed LiViD's MMX and MMX EXT IDCT.

 This might break things. Expect a performance increase.

2001-01-17 Wednesday 17:25  sam

  . removed a few useless malloc() and unused variables in the audio SDL stuff
  . prepared the work for built-in modules (not yet finished)

2001-01-17 Wednesday 00:52  stef

 * Minor changes

2001-01-16 Tuesday 18:35  octplane

 - Added SDL sound support. Sounds a bit laggy sometimes but my streams are ill.
   please try.
 - modified configure.in and all that stuff. Re-run configure
 - SDL audio, video and interface are all part of the same .so now.
 - remove YUV old files :->

2001-01-16 Tuesday 18:06  massiot

 * Reverted something that wasn't supposed to go into the cvs :p
 * Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???).

2001-01-16 Tuesday 17:59  massiot

 * Borrowed livid's latest libmmx and MMXEXT MC. Not in the Makefile => to
 test it, replace vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c by vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c.

 I'm interested in performance feedback.

2001-01-16 Tuesday 16:09  sam

  . a few changes in the CPU extensions detection code, borrowed from the
    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.

2001-01-16 Tuesday 13:26  sam

  . added files for the SSE (MMX on steroids) IDCT. Meuuh, you should just
    need to touch plugins/idct/idct_mmxext.c (ok, the filenames suck).

2001-01-16 Tuesday 05:04  sam

  [ include/config.h.in has changed, don't forget tu run ./configure ]

  . 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.

2001-01-16 Tuesday 04:41  stef

 . Now use of 64 bits offsets to parse the whole DVD. So we have all the
 available information
 . Fixed a bug in parsing of VTS attributes
 . Fixed a bug in input.c that made input plugin initialize even though
 no stream is reachable (thanks Sam)

 I hope I'll be able to get the position of the movie soon.

 Meuuh : the seek function of the plugin now take off_t as argument which
 could be a problem later. Maybe it should take off64_t or time argument.

2001-01-16 Tuesday 02:16  sam

  . merged the YUV plugins in the same directory to avoid too much code
    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 ?)

2001-01-15 Monday 08:07  sam

    OK, so I foired input.h once again. But this one works. For real.

2001-01-15 Monday 06:56  sam

  . correction d'un poliotage de copier-coller

2001-01-15 Monday 06:18  sam

  . fixed the bug-that-made-the-vlc-segfault-on-exit, which means that
    more than ever, Ģ le client ne segfaulte pas ģ.

  . 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.

2001-01-15 Monday 03:26  stef

 . Correction of bugs in ifo parsing. Now the structures should be well
 initialized. It remains some segfaults but it globally works.
 . DVD mode is enabled with option --dvd. For the moment, it only read
 the first vts and find the movie if it is at the beginning of the title
 set.

 Coming soon:
 . udf filesystem management to access over 2Gb zones.
 . detection of the offset to the movie inside a vts when it is not at
 the beginning.

 Is there a chance that using fopen/fseek function instead of open/lseek
 system calls solve the 2Gb issue ?

2001-01-14 Sunday 07:08  stef

 . Beginning of dvd_input.
 . Parsing of ifo file almost completed.
 . Still does not work well.

2001-01-13 Saturday 12:57  sam

  . the IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
    our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
  . cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
  . fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules

    WARNING: a new directory has been added, which means you have to
    use `cvs update -dP' to update ; files have been removed , which means
    you either have to run `make distclean' or remove the .deps directory,
    and the configure script has changed, which means you have to run it
    again. Don't complain before having checked this :)

    Note about the IDCT modules: there is no way to choose the one we
    use, but you may remove the module in lib/ to prevent it from being
    loaded. The preference order is : MMX, Optimized, Classic.

2001-01-12 Friday 17:33  massiot

 * Changed default values :
 INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ;
 video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ;
 decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ;
 * Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ;
 * Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ;
 * Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ;
 * Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ;
 * Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ;
 * Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ;
 * Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting
 (still one left, yaknow why ?)

2001-01-12 Friday 14:49  sam

  . destroy fifo mutex and cond variables _after_ they are used for
    the last time. henri, that'll be one binouze.

2001-01-12 Friday 12:48  henri

 Done :
 - ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API

2001-01-12 Friday 11:36  massiot

 * Fixed 32 bits bitstream bugs.

2001-01-11 Thursday 17:44  sam

   . moved the MPEG audio decoder to the new bitstream

     I wasn't sure whether the bits counting method was effective to
   skip ancillary data at the end of a frame, but I kept it for
   safety. There is still a lot to optimize in the bit counting, like
   unrolling the first iteration of some loops, but I don't know if
   it would be worth it. The other solution would have been to look for
   a startcode after eache frame, without caring about the ancillary bits.

   . cleaning in the SPU decoder.

2001-01-11 Thursday 15:35  sam

  . moved swab32 from input_ext-dec.h to common.h. We probably won't need
    it anymore really soon, since ntohl() and htonl() seem to be properly
    optimized when gcc is passed the right optimization flags.

  . fixed GetBits32 and RemoveBits32. I know the #ifdefs are useless since
    we only support u32 words, but it's a safe reminder. Comments appreciated
    on this fix since I may have b0rked something -- it runs well here though.

2001-01-10 Wednesday 19:22  massiot

 * Changed code for handling b_die in bitstream ;
 * Move input_ext-dec.h to input.h ;
 * New input_NullPacket function ;
 * Fixed init bugs in input and vpar ;

2001-01-10 Wednesday 16:24  massiot

 * Placed a callback to the decoder in the bitstream structure ;
 * Fixed a purify bug in input_ps.c ;
 * Added -mcpu=pentiumpro in the Makefile.

2001-01-10 Wednesday 02:33  sam

  . complete commenting of modules_core.h and small modifications
  . separated MODULE_CONFIG_START and ADD_WINDOW (Henri, beware)
  . fixed a very, very old bug that caused namespace collision between
    plugins (Henri, beware: call your aout_getplugin function like this,
    not alsa_aout_getplugin)
  . removed the Debian specific clean rules from the Makefile, since they
    are already handled by the debian/rules script.
  . tidied a few compilation rules (-lfoo should always be at the end)

2001-01-09 Tuesday 21:03  sam

  . fixed a warning under FreeBSD (dlerror() is a const char*, not a char*).
  . made configure script look for the bswap assembly instruction (using
    AC_TRY_COMPILE makes sure the compiler will really accept it).

2001-01-08 Monday 18:16  sam

  . Added a missing mutex_unlock in video_output.c
  . Moved a mutex_destroy after the thread cancellation to prevent
    possible problems
  . Added a missing #ifdef in intf_msg.c which prevented compilation
    with --enable-debug
  . Fixed a bug in the input that prevented to quit properly in certain
    cases (some ES were not deleted because their index was skipped when
    the former one was deleted, well Meuuh should know what I mean)

   There is still a segfault when quitting, most presumably in the
  audio output. I couldn't find what causes it yet.

2001-01-07 Sunday 17:07  sam

  . added a .cvsignore file in lib/ so that the directory doesn't get
    removed whenever one does a cvs update -dP
  . fixed debian/.cvsignore because of a new version of debhelper

2001-01-07 Sunday 16:17  sam

  . all plugins now compile with -fPIC.

  . made the audio_output API a bit simpler.

  . got rid of modules_config.h.

  . fixed `make install' rule.

  . fixed warnings in the MMX YUV compilation.

  . probably fixed a bug in the input : pp_foo structures were free()d at
    the end, but this was useless since the last call to realloc() is
    equivalent to free(), and two consecutive calls to free() aren't a
    goo idea.

  . we check that the version number match and that we don't already have
    a module by that name when loading a new module.

  . all public module_* functions now properly lock the module bank.

  . the audio_output now uses the new module API ; EsounD and DSP modules
    have been ported, which should be enough for Henri to port the ALSA one.

    The new plugin API is now much simpler ; it's now just a matter of
 calling module_Need( p_main->p_module_bank, MODULE_CAPABILITY_FOO, p_data );
 and if successful we get the best module. Capabilities can be ORed, so that
 one can ask for a plugin that does VOUT _and_ INTF actions for instance.

    It's not complete yet though -- by making it generic I had to do a few
 ugly casts here and there, which I am going to fix ASAP. Also, command line
 selection of a plugin does not work yet.

    The switch to the new plugin API has probably broken the BeOS audio
 output ; we can either wait until the whole vlc has switched to the new
 plugins, or create a separate beos_sound.so that conforms to the new API.

 BSD port, including :
 * --enable-sdl and some others are now --with-sdl[=name] to supply an
 optional library name ;
 * deleted all unnecessary #include <sys/uio.h> ;
 * /usr/include is now searched when looking for libraries and headers.

 It seems to compile and run on BSD. Under Linux Sam's latest commit makes
 vlc crash on startup, so I can't really tell, but hey it compiles.

2001-01-05 Friday 18:06  sam

  . src/misc/modules.c is in a workable state now.

   To test it, run ./configure with the --enable-null flag, which will
   compile the Null Module as a plugin. Watch the memory usage at the

  . this is a coding style patch which removes all "foo(bar){" constructions
    and most of the tabulations.
  . also, fixed a bug in the default subtitle track.
  . and made a few error messages more explicit, ie. changed "error: %s" to
    "foo error: couldn't initialize bar (%s)"
  . and removed a warning in intf_ctrl.c which isn't used anyway.

    Plugins are now called modules, because we will be able to compile
    them either as a dynamic plugin, or within the program. And, more
    important, I can commit this without having to break the vlc :)

    I tried to be as clear as possible in my comments, please tell me
    if a few prototypes still have an unclear beahaviour.

    Current features:
     . none, files haven't even been added to the Makefile yet.

    Future features:
     . dynamic loading (done)
     . built-in modules (still to do)
     . automatic unloading of plugins (done)
     . dynamic configuration (still to do)
     . automatic choosing of the most appropriate plugin for a given
        task (still to do but well prepared)

   - fixed pitch bug;
   - fixed segfault, it was probably a memory corruption but I'm not sure :) ;
   - video_output.c : compute picture size even if b_need_render == 0;

 * Fixed a deadlock (the vout unlocked a mutex locked by another thread,
 grrrr, I'll kill someone) ;
 * Put config.h in front of others in audio_decoder.c.
