Description: Splash screen
The vlc needs a splash screen with a vlc logo, instead of
the "waiting for stream" message.
Urgency: Normal
Description: Implement pause
There is no real `pause' command yet. Pausing just stops
displaying and sound playback, but the streams continues to
be decoded. One will have to do a file implementation as
well as a network implementation.
Status: Todo
Task: 0x01
Task: 0x20
Difficulty: Hard
Urgency: Wishlist
Description: MGA YUV
The Matrox acceleration for the vlc does not work yet,
though there are initialization routines in the code.
Urgency: Important
Description: Rewrite input for Program Stream files
Currently when we read a PS file, it is first translated to TS
because we first had only PS support. Now time has come to get
rid of this ugly kludge and integrate a proper PS input.
Status: Todo
Task: 0x02
Difficulty: Medium
Task: 0x1f
Difficulty: Hard
Urgency: Normal
Description: Better Gnome interface
The Gnome interface has many stubs and is actually rather
unfunctional. Someone should make the buttons work when
the appropriate hooks exist.
Description: DeCSS and DVD ioctls
The vlc needs the DVD ioctls support as well as the integration
of DeCSS to play DVDs properly. The person doing this should
probably not live in a country where DeCSS has been ruled illegal.
Status: Todo
Task: 0x03
Task: 0x1e
Difficulty: Hard
Urgency: Important
Description: Playlist API
Currently only files given in the command line are played,
one after the other. We need a smarter way to handle this,
through AddFile(), MoveFile(), etc. functions. input_file
has to be modified to support this as well.
Urgency: Wishlist
Description: ASCII-art output
For the ones who don't know how to waste their time, they can
try to do an ASCII-art output plugin.
Status: Todo
Task: 0x04
Difficulty: Medium
Task: 0x1d
Difficulty: Hard
Urgency: Normal
Description: Get rid of vlc.channels
The file vlc.channels should be removed and information
found in it put either into ~/.vlcrc or in another rc
file. Note that this file can be modified by the vlc.
Status: Todo
Task: 0x05
Difficulty: Easy
Urgency: Important
Description: vlms backport
The vlc uses the same file input code as the vlms (VideoLAN
Mini Server) which has been much improved. Someone should
port modifications done to the vlms back to the vlc.
Description: LPCM decoder
The LPCM decoder is full of stubs, it only parses the stream
but does not decode it. Fix this.
Status: Todo
Task: 0x06
Task: 0x1c
Difficulty: Guru
Urgency: Important
Description: Optimize video parser
The video parser has some speed issues currently unexplained:
even though most functions are inlined, it keeps eating more
CPU than it should. This has to be investigated.
Description: Fix field pictures support
Some MPEG2 streams are interleaved, and the vlc does not support
this very well. Adding support for them requires an excellent
knowledge of the MPEG2 papers.
Status: Todo
Task: 0x07
Task: 0x1b
Difficulty: Hard
Urgency: Critical
Description: Fix VDEC_SMP segfaults
When compiled to support SMP, the vlc segfaults. The synchro
code lacks locks, but there might be bugs elsewhere as well.
Urgency: Wishlist
Description: modularize decoder
Make the decoder a plugin, so that two versions can coexist
without recompilation (MMX and non-MMX).
Status: Todo
Task: 0x08
Task: 0x1a
Difficulty: Easy
Urgency: Important
Description: Get rid of floating instructions
Mixing floating instructions and MMX is seldom a good idea,
it might be interesting to remove all floating instructions
in a single thread. The audio decoders are of course not
concerned by this task.
Urgency: Normal
Description: Make interface more responsive
Status: Todo
When in "waiting for stream" mode, the interface is refreshed
every 5 seconds. This is too long, and can be confusing for
the user. Make it refresh at least after a keyboard/mouse event.
Status: Todo
Task: 0x09
Difficulty: Easy
Task: 0x19
Difficulty: Hard
Urgency: Normal
Description: Get rid of dumb vlc aliases
When compiling the vlc, some symlinks to the main app
are created, such as gvlc, ggivlc, etc. Actually this
might confuse the user, so they should be removed,
except perhaps gvlc and fbvlc which follow a usual
naming scheme.
Status: Done 8 Aug 2000 (sam)
Description: Support MP1 and MP3
The vlc does not support all MPEG1 audio formats yet, nor
does it support MPEG1/2 layer 3.
Task: 0x0a
Task: 0x18
Difficulty: Guru
Urgency: Wishlist
Description: Split interface/video_output
The interface and the vout modules are too dependant, which
makes it impossible to run the Glide output with the Gnome
interface for instance. This will require a major rewrite of
the interface, and a solid knowledge of how the vlc internals
work.

Urgency: Normal
Description: Add 24bpp YUV
There is no 24bpp support yet. Add it, either in MMX
or in C.
Status: Todo
Task: 0x16
Difficulty: Medium
Urgency: Important
Description: Do separate packages
The plugins can be compiled with specific libraries, such
as Gnome, GGI, Esound. Putting all of them in the same
package would require a lot of useless dependencies, thus
one should do separate packages: a core "vlc" package, and
"vlc-fb", "vlc-ggi", "vlc-esd" packages depending on the
core package.
Description: Fix 8bpp YUV
The 8bpp YUV function is broken, there is some serious
alpha blending, and it scales pretty badly. Fix it.
Status: Todo
Task: 0x0b
Task: 0x15
Difficulty: Medium
Urgency: Important
Description: Allow to force synchro
Add a --force-synchro option to bypass the auto-adaptative
algorithm present in the vlc. Options should allow displaying
only I frames, only I and P, or all frames, or some more
fancy stuff such as half the Bs.
Status: Done 8 Aug 2000 (sam)
Urgency: Critical
Description: Fix input_file exit
input_file does not exit cleanly when the file is finished,
which makes it impossible to quit the vlc. Fix it.

Urgency: Critical
Description: Fix synchro
The synchronization algorithm sucks a bit. While it is
quite efficient on frameskipping on slow machines, it
is not smart enough on fast machines and does not detect
when it has enough time for a frame. Perhaps a better
handling of the dates might help.
Urgency: Wishlist
Description: Support MPEG1 timecodes
The vlc can parse an MPEG1 system stream, but the parsed
PCR values do not seem to be correct. Check what's wrong.
Status: Todo
Task: 0x0d
Task: 0x12
Difficulty: Medium

Description: Framebuffer exit bug
When the vlc abnormally exits in framebuffer mode, it leaves
the console in an unusable state. This does not happen on
the Matrox framebuffer, but it does on the VESA one.
Description: Fix 32bpp MMX YUV
The MMX 32bpp YUV function is buggy.

some CPU cycles can be gained by saving some buffers.

can be any size.
