2001/12/19
* more fixed over the whole source code
* now the segmentation should work again and should be possible to
do some buffering and splitting at keyframes
* we are now playing on PPC as well - fixing avi playing was easy,
asf required some more modication
* avicap supports Xawtv settings - usable via menu or with hotkey
2001/12/07
* some more cleanups in win32.c code
2001/12/04
* various fixes for dropping and autoquality - again - all I could say -
if user will not complain I'll not most probably notice
2001/12/02
* spent many many hours on locating and finaly fixing the remaining problem
with acelp codec (the thing which almost noone is probably using anyway :)
But after all it FINALY works.
Also AVID works for decoding.
* started rewrite of avifile main classes - yeah I know programs who
are using avifile library likes these changes :) - but the good thing
so far is - you do not need to modify single line of you code - as
I'm providing backward compatible defines structures - just binary
compatibility seems to be rather a sci-fi so far :) but trust me the change
is necessary to properly support all the setting we need to support
- yet you can't see this code in CVS
2001/11/29
* fixed couple problems introduced with Makefile cleanup
* fixed stupid bug in subtitles creation - currios why almost nobody
noticed this problem (big thanks goes to Lukas)
2001/11/27
* heavy cleanup of Makefile.am rules
* DivX4 DirectShow should work again
* fixed some compilation issues for old egcc
2001/11/25
* more fixes to newly converted DirectShow code in plain C
* acel.net codec loads in both - .ax & .acm form, but none of them seems
to be operating normaly
* fixed few remaining problems with Mp3 header detection (bug in tables)
2001/11/18
* made avicap look more like real application - moving, resizing,...
* some fixes for YUV colorspaces in win32 dll encoding
* fixed YV12 encoding with DivX4 plugins (avicap showed quite a few bugs
at this field - but I do not have really that much time to fix
everything instantly - especialy when I do not know about the problem!)
2001/11/15
* fixed many minor bugs across the code (curious why nobody complained -
maybe I'm the only one who is still using this :)
* fixed some bug with direct data reading from stream
* updated avicap
* ReadDirect has now another parameter - to get first frame flag
2001/11/13
* fixed few bugs in win32 code - VP31 shouldn't corrupt memory
(was dealocating some Heap twice)
* few quick fixes in avicap so it will work
* updated fillplugins.h for win32 - enabled MWV1 ZLib Mszh for compression
(thought these old codecs are quite useless anyway :)
disabled Morgan jpeg & DivX for encoding to prevent mysterious segfaults
these codecs are causing
2001/11/11
* fixed some more details in Mp3 detection (reading more samples)
* ASF will continue with index reconstraction when some bad packets are found
* implementation for AUDIO_CHANNEL
* saving some bits of memory
2001/11/08
* Dirk Mueller joined our team and will do some work on GUI interface
* also some outstanding problem with Qt3.0 popup menu problem was fixed
(with Trolltech support)
2001/11/04
* slightly updated API - but backward compatible function remains in headers
I'll try to do any future API changes get handled this way as API
seems to be getting into its stable phase...
* OSS sound audio render now also supports time tracking of video stream
and is actually more precise then SDL audio renderer - I've no
idea how to get precise time of currently played buffer
2001/11/02
* few more compatibility/compilation fixes for older systems
* using GetSrcSize more precisely to get better timing for VBR audio streams
* garbage coolection reenable for Global mallocs with mouch simplier
method and without any slowdown
2001/10/31
* swaped function names for be/le calls
* disable garbage collection for Global mallocs in libwin32 -
VP31 allocates 11000 memory chunks - and after this it gets free
we need probably a tree to store memory referencies as linked list
isn't a good choice for this
2001/10/30
* removed check for movie chunk - so another set of broken files should
be playable
* slightly modified routine for mp3 stream detection - will not fail
if mp3 header could not be found and will use stream header
2001/10/28
* fixing memory leaks in libwin32 (hard task to catch them all...)
* changing some internals in write/read avi
(maily to be less big-endian dependent)
* avm::vector will behave more like std::vector (operator=, copy constructor)
* seeking audio stream more closely to video track - useful when avi stream
has very large chunks with audio (e.g. 256KB)
2001/10/23
* added several functions into encoder API - now it's possible to create audio/video
encoder objects and AVI streams using CodecInfo as a reference.
* fixed some bugs in avirecompress
2001/10/21
* added high quality MPEG audio decoder MAD
* fixed ugly bug in AVI stream reading causing some problems with
certain MPEG streams
* added keyboard control for Saturation/Brightness,Hue,Constras
compatible with Xawtv (F1/F2, F5/F6, F7/F8, F9/F10)
(some people believes sliders s*s, but they are not reporting
this problem :) - of course it was 10 minute work to add this :)-
2001/10/20
* some updates in configure.in and installing plugins without version-info
2001/10/15
* fixed some outstanding bugs - like wrong Eof detection for broken streams,
or missing initialization of Async or Volume properties.
* moved Locker to common so other programs might use just
aviread, common subdirs if they do not need player or writer part
2001/10/14
* quite a few changes in libwin32 driver
* fixed bug which prevented setting non direct show driver
* added few more options to couple codecs
2001/10/10
* fixed keyframe for recompress and placed video stream
as the first one in avirecompress
2001/10/08
* fixed some ugly bugs probably introduces by me long time ago in win32
registry so now they are working in the way one would expect
* fixed DivX4.0 setting so they are also correctly stored in registry
2001/10/08
* Eugene made DivX4 Win32 codec quite usable
* change a little behaviour in threads - now it waits in aviplayth
decoder instead of videodecoder directly when buffers are full
* some cleanup of libwin32 so mplayer team could be a little bit more happy :)
* more and more fixes in stl->avm conversion
2001/10/03
* some small steps towards multiplatform compilation
* quite big automake cleanup
* another set of header cleanups
2001/10/02
* fixed missing mbox initialization
* CodefInfo & AttributeInfo is now derived from BaseInfo
- use methods GetName() GetAbout() instead of accessing private members
* some improvements in win32 loader - handles divx.dll for decoding/encoding
2001/09/30
* type cleanup - using uint_t in most places - eliminated Unsigned, size_t
* fixed couple crashes during deinitialization of aviplay
* fixed endless loop in asf seeking
* added our own very simple and basic implementation for two used STL
classes - vector & string - compiles much faster and especialy
debugging object files are much smaller
2001/09/28
* fixed some serious bugs in dropping algorithm
* cleaned some includes and classes to minimalize usage of bloated STL
this should speedup compilation
2001/09/26
* VfwEx for vp31vfw.dll works now - based on the work of mplayer team
2001/09/24
* update in whole a-v synchronization for both asf and avi streams
2001/09/23
* cleaned some new warnings
* slightly reworked event filter so its part of class
* fixed resizing - takes into account subtitles size
* another bug - using dwStart for index
2001/09/20
* few minor (memory eating) bugs introduced with last update has been fixed
* updated ffmpeg sources
* patch from Jurgen Keil amongs other thing fixes wrong TSC detection in win32
2001/09/16
* fixed stupid bug in function overload of AviReadStreamA::GetTime()
2001/09/15
* fixed crash with avicap - so it should work
mjpeg & huffyuv are only used for decoding
* fixed deadlock in stream read for some very broken avi file
* fixed missing init call in Ogg/Vorbis pluggin
* fixed memcpy for video image in ffmpeg plugin
* repaired threading - now works much more reliable and doesn't use
EVENTTHREAD from SDL which seems to cause busy loop on some systems
* fixed DIVX video stream index reconstruction
* removed avifmt.h - now its private header file
use StreamInfo when you need info about stream
2001/09/08
* Workaround for playback of AVI files with nonzero dwSampleSize in video stream header
* Rearranged subtitle suffixes test order
2001/09/04
* vorbis plugin operates - without seeking
3 magical numbers discovered in mplayer source
big thanks and hello to Felix who reads our Changelog
for his work on ogg/vorbis decoding
* autodetection of ogg/vorbis libraries
2001/09/02
* more work on libmmxnow
* failed to build working vorbis decoder plugin - the test files seems
to have unlogical content - so unless I'll find some better descrition
we have to live without this plugin for now
* cleanup in the source code
2001/09/01
* smarter FileStream class which should allow faster rescaning of damaged files
* adding few more const pointers
2001/08/31
* cleaning some problems reported on the list - autogen.sh
recompilaction problems
* solved stupid bug in CPU consuming SDL thread - used wrong return value
2001/08/29
* spend another day with video scheduler - now it has just three lines
(why have I discovered this earlier???)
should be giving very good results in X11 and Xv accelerated mode
* discovered potencial slowdown code in SDL library
- SDL_Delay(1) in src/events/SDL_events.c around the line 120
should be rather SDL_Delay(100) otherwice this loop eats CPU a lot
- not a problem when there are two processors - but noticable
when just one has to be running (that's why I've not noticed this problem)
SOLUTION for now - replace Delay and recompile - for now I've no idea
what we could be doing wrong that we hit this problem - maybe it's
real bug in SDL ??? (solved)
2001/08/26
* initial work on mmxnow library
* improve AviPlayer initilization
* added loading support for reading external audio channel from second file
2001/08/25
* minor tuning of scheduler - checking larger delay
* DVSD support (fallbacks to dvsd)
* removed QMARK, DMARK, DropFrame, shortened buffers for precaching
* video scheduling again improved - noticable with huge images rendered
with x11 renderer without any hardware acceleration
* ported big part of pthread calls to use our internal Mutex/Cond/Thread
implementation (Locker.h) - adaptation to SDL locks should be possible
just with replacement of Locker.cpp later
* cleanup of thread - more safety for Free/NetBSD systems
* Max Autoquality - for DS_VideoDecoder & DivX
2001/08/24
* allowed usage of SW YUV overlay emulation - very useful for
ffmpeg which supports only YV12 surface
* many fixes in renderer part - updating fonts in runtine and other
nice features should basicaly work
2001/08/21
* yet another minor change in scheduler - but "there is something about xine"
which tells me we can still be better...
2001/08/20
* fixed another stupid cut&paste bug - used video listbox instead of audio
* fixed couple other problems in the run-time configuration update
2001/08/19
* fixed information messages - for kbps using 1000 instead of 1024 as with KB
* added AC3 passthrough pluggin which really plays Dolby Digital!
(-> I do not have any other player except play-ac3 which plays ac3 stream)
(ok I know - there is not many DivX with AC3 and we do not play vob
but anyway - it's nice :)
* fixed few problems with AudioQueue to accept ac3 passthrough stream
2001/08/17
* continual cleanup of Win32 subsystem - to be more portable - goal
is to allow mplayer team to use exact same copy of unmodified source.
* some updates in headers - using "name.h" instead of <name.h> for our
headers - its better for dependency generators
2001/08/13
* Huge update in AviPlayer class - moving towards much easier runtime
configuration - everything should be fully modifiable in runtime
(For now you could at least switch renderer (x11 & xv) but
note the whole replacement is usually without soundskip!)
* fixed ASF parsing (Ann Lee - Two Times.asf)
* skip to next key frame is not performed if the last one passed
* added ordering of decoders - for now its still not that easy to
select codec - but you could do it.
* player shows the time of seek bar, as obviously user wants to know
to which time he is seeking
* fixed couple gcc3.0 things
2001/08/08
* large set of various minor improvements in configure and autogen.sh
* much better library versioning
* ffmpeg CVS update
* renamed few programs
qtrecompress -> avirecompress
qtvidcap -> avicap
benchmark -> avibench
2001/08/04
* decoding ALaw & uLaw audio tracks
* using AC3 decoding from FFMPEG
(seems to there are few modified ac3 libraries available - mplayer seem to
be using different version - probably heavily optimized - but as it doesn't take
to much CPU we stay with the current version for a moment - API seems to be differnet
* autoquality implemeneted into OpenDivX (or should I say ClosedDivX :)
anyway this code is about 25% faster and it works with autoquality
* during cleaning bugs and improving functionality of benchmark fixed
some bug in detection of Eof in Avi stream
* benchmark will now give also similar number as you could get from benchmarking
mplayer (just to be sure we are still faster :) for now with -direct -yuv -
but buffered mode seems to be slower - maybe there is something on the
fastmemcpy...
* renderer disables mouse after 1sec of inactivity in aviplayer window
2001/08/04
* fixed problem with 0 frame numbering
actual information about the current frame are available after ReadFrame
(e.g. Time, Position,...)
* huge set of improvements in qtrecompress - now it really works
(with few filters which are not available in VirtualDub :))
2001/08/03
* subtitle code update (support for SAMI - .smi)
* cleanup of various makefiles (suggest by some users)
* Debian package slightly modified
2001/07/22
* TrueType Font Rendering (using Xft extension - with the help of Lukas Hejtmanek)
* smarter DirectRendering mode - should work all the time with necessary conversions
2001/07/21
* very extensive cleanup of conversion modes of images
* cleaned some hacks in Win32 VideoDecoder class
* added some hack for correct playing of several not very used codecs
like huffyuv, asv1, asv2, vcr2
* large speedup of C-version routines for conversion RGB 24b->16b
2001/07/18
* fixed bug in Subviewer reader
* fixed two memory leaks discovered by mprotector
* added support for few more codecs
2001/07/17
* lots of code cleanup
* started to cleanup some types - transformation to uint32...
* some fixies in DirectShow code
* fixed several MAJOR bugs in qtrecompressor - now it even works - though
it's still rather a toy application and I would not advice to use it for
any serious thing yet
* ffmpeg 0.4.4
* autoconf2.50 compatible - anyone dissagree ???
2001/07/14
* another speedup of resumpling code - should be now very efficient
* -ljpeg for avimake
2001/07/11
* added libmp3lamebin plugin which as able to load libmp3lame at runtime
2001/07/10
* 4 times faster resampling - using just interger arithmetic
* scanning WIN32_PATH, /usr/lib/win32, /usr/local/lib/win32 paths for dll
2001/07/09
* able to use ffmpeg library - version 0.4.3 is now in avifile CVS
- original CVS seems to be now the tree of the mplayer.
for now we could use it to play OpenDivX - it could also play DivX :-)
* minor redesing of videodecoder API - now we have Start/StopInternal
* cleaned mjpeg_plugin
* started to clean DirectShow directory to make it C-compilable
(so it could be used by mplayer and others...)
* also made quite a few cleanups in other places
* fixed WIN32_PATH support
* added AVIPLUGIN_PATH shell variable
* fixed AVIPLAY_MUTE_VIDEO, AVIPLAY_MUTE_AUDIO
* few fixes for debian
2001/06/28
* another change in constants in scheduler
* interface change! - GetHeader(void* header, size_t n)
2001/06/26
* Locker.h and VideoDPMS.h are now public
* fixed few problems in frame elimination in video decoder class
2001/06/23
* complete rewrite of players' thread - is it now FreeBSD safe ??
- also we are no longer using avi_usleep for audio synchronization and
instead we use timed condition which has adwantage that we have
immediate hangup when thread is sleeping
* added NextFrame aviplay method - usable with 'Return' key in aviplayer
* implemented initial 'hacked' support for better priority handling
- if you set uid.gid to root.root together with 'suid' bit,
that video thread will use -10 priority for better timing - however
BIG WARNING is here - you are using closed-source windows binary dll
codecs - during their execution aviplayer is using user uid & gid
- however you never know what could happen!
* for this reason it looks like the best is to lower the priority if
audio & video decoding threads so video thread gets its needed CPU when
necessery.
2001/06/21
* complex GUI update for configuration of aviplayer
(some of buttons now even works in runtime so you don't have to restart
player - ok I know - still not perfect...)
* resampling is now more usable as it could do far more things then
just pure 44kHz resampling - so why not making it fully usable - its even
nice feature
* version-info - library has now number 0.0.6 (level 0 version 0.6)
* another streaming bug fixed - so we play more asf stream over the net
2001/06/20
* fixed & tuned resampling to remove clics for unsigned char audio stream
(but some check for the overflow would help us too)
* extended stream info added (check movie property)
2001/06/18
* some deadlocks in audio renderer - SDL_LockAudio now works somehow better
but it is still not usable
* no longer processing keyboard events which belongs to other applications
* fixed resampling - that was really stupid bug and not that easy to fix
but the result is very good
2001/06/18
* minor updates in network asf - it just works - but it's still crashing a lot
* staying compatible with qt2.X
* added hack for NVidia cards - autodetected by looking for NVIDIA-GLX
extension - could be forced on by setting
export AVIPLAY_NVIDIA_ENABLE=1
or off with this shell command executed before aviplayer gets started
export AVIPLAY_NVIDIA_DISABLE=1
2001/06/16
* a lot of fixes in asf parsing code - finally we are able to detect end of
the file properly
* redesigned and simplified event handling in aviplayer
* a-v sync is now 100% better than it ever was
* maximize return to its previous size when switching off fullscreen
* hopefully fixed problem with mpg sound which could occasionaly get broken
* GUI updates
* added keys '[', ']' to modify a-v sync - (adds, subs 0.1 sec)
* UNIQUE frame-dropping technique - now even very slow computers could
be used to view movies in audio-video sync !!!!
2001/06/12
* more keyboard updates
* added methods for setting getting video renderers in aviplay class
(set is however unimplemented so far)
* reading video modes and making them available in maximize modes
2001/06/11
* improved player keyboard handling - seeking is better & faster again
* GetFrame is using Lock instead of usleep - faster reaction
2001/06/08
* redesigned whole ToggleFullscreen & Resize system - now it should work
reliable, fast and without strange locking problems (at least I hope so)
Pressing 'm' key is now the best thing you could do to view the move
* added support for SubRip subtitles
* l3codeca.acm - windows mp3 dll library seems to be working now!
* quick resizing with keys: 1 (0.5x), 2 (1x), 3 (2x)
* fixes in audio synchronization
* fixed YV12 drawing (swaped 2nd & 3rd plane)
* benchmark supports YV12
2001/06/05
* hardly played with synchronization
we can now resize window without stopping playing!!!
(try this with other players :)
2001/05/30
* fixed couple deadlocks in AudioRenderer
* fixed Uncompressed video decoder
* added autorepeat for SDL
2001/05/28
* slowly adding support for direct rendering
* again general rewrite of scheduler - simplier and more efficient
* of course the complex part did not dissappeared - its now
in audio renderer - which is being constantly modified
so OSS & Sun are currently not supported until they will be fixed
to match complexity of SdlAudioRenderer
2001/05/19
* as some more issues have been resolved in the audio time calculation
we could now have much more simple and precise video image scheduling
A-V is in in milisecond range - just check (export AVIPLAY_DEBUG=1)
* reconstructing even seriously broken .avi files
you could really split two .avi files and then join them in any order
- you just need the correct initial header
* few changes in qtrecompress GUI
* bugfix: some codecs needs previous image to be stored in the new decoded image
* supporting more flags for benchmark utility:
-seek, -frame, -length
2001/05/15
* played a bit with DPMS code - now it should be compilable even on older systems
* tuned Dropping algorithm
2001/05/13
* removed memorymut - replaced with two utility functions - memory_un/lock()
* aviplay.h: Set/GetSubAsync -> Set/GetSubtitlesAsync
InitSubtitles is now public function (well not full usable at this
moment)
2001/05/12
* New VIDEO IMAGE scheduler - its giving excelent result to me
- however my machine is quite powerful SMP computer so this needs
to be test with other types of machine (btw - mplayer has made lately
some progress in this area too - and we have to be better :))
* reconstruction of index on broken DivX movies - now checks for KeyFrames
(inspired by mplayer code)
* reading from avistream is now more endinadness independent - but this
probaly has to be checked in the real small endian machine.
2001/05/08
* significant speed for large movies - memory is now
protected when doing large memory transfers so we are
not loosing the speed too much ion this case - was hard to
figure out and current solution is not very nice - its rather a hach
* changed drawFunc - they are now replaced with list of video renderes
yet function to add them on the fly are missing for now - will
be resolved later - expect some interface changes in this area
2001/05/06
* timing changed more - so more ASF files are played correctly
if anyone has something we are playing completely wrong - let me know
* VBUFSIZE is now in the class which implements IVideoDecoder and
is quite easily changable - maybe configurable option in future...
2001/05/05
* !!IMPORTANT!! general update of several public interfaces
(changes are not that big - but probably require simple updates,
I wanted to make these changes before library get used by more projects)
- unification of various method names doing same thing
- SeekTime replaces Seek(double) - it better visible what's going on
- GetEndPos -> GetLength
- GetEndTime -> GetLenghtTime
- LengthTime -> GetLenghtTime
- Length -> GetLength
- FormatSize -> GetFormatSize
- FourCC -> GetFourCC
- Prev/Next/NearestKeyFrame -> Get*
- ToNext/PrevKetFrame -> SeekToNext/PrevKeyFrame
- SetRealtime -> SetDecodingMode
- config_entry -> ConfigEntry
- GetDrop, GetQuality -> GetAvgDrop, GetAvgQuality
* new code for timing ASF files
* added QualityAuto & PreserveAspect in RegAccess
* many changes across the whole source base because of this
* implemented Preserve Aspect Ratio
* implemented CPU Quality checkbox (still missing setting Quality after Off)
* fixed bug with killHandler destruction - caused crashes with broken videostreams
* found & fixed deadlock in Mpeg layer3 decoding
(now just writes: MP3 Stream reinitialized! and reinitialize decoder)
* we are again playing Video free avi/wma/asf streams.
* fixed deadlock case in AviMediaReadStream::find
2001/05/04
* fixed playing of asf files with variable frame rate - e.g.
when frame should stay on the screen for longer time
current solution allows immediate seeking
* more changes to videodecoder interface class
few things have been made private and I suppose more change will
be made within this class - if you are building your own decode
watch closely these updates.
* fixed some bugs when Videostream is not present
2001/05/01
* code cleanup
* now progress bar shows correct info for direct show DivX
* clenaup of members of videodecoder class
* some updates for Spark i386 architecture
* VideoDPMS is now separate class
2001/04/30
* fixed and rewrote destruction of aviplayer class (now its more clean)
* adding several methods to win32.c so huffyuv codecs almost works
* rewrote & fixed reading .SRT subtitles (takes less space)
also this will be moved to separate class file - also
the support for SMI subtitles will be added soon
* add few more keystrokes to aviplayer to be compatible with movie window
* fixed and repaired wrong image time reading - we were reading time
information for the next image and also it was causing unpleasent
effect on the image redrawing when mouse enters the window - its
the only reasonable way to simulate expose event for this moment - now
its almost unnoticable.
* support for DivX VKI - DIV5, DIV6 - user has to install these libraries:
divxcvki.ax & divxcvki.dll
* implemented several new functions in win32 to make huffyuv work better
so far RGB variant is upside-down in player and corretly in qtrecompress
YUV variant looks OK in player and is upside-down in qtrecompress
* variuous fixes in qtrecompress - but for this moment is still pretty
much broken piece so I would still advice to use VirtualDub.
* many other minor bugfixes - like missing -O2 flag in configure.in,
* fixed uggly bug in videodecoder - we have to use mutex in this case
* we should be now nearly as fast as mplayer I believe
2001/04/27
* fixed compilation some inline for RedHat broken g++ compiler
* reversed wrong idea for using DIV5 & DIV6
2001/04/26
* fixed another problem with audio - it looks like its not the right thing
to divide rate by dwSampleSize - sometimes there are weird values
anyway for now it works - better fix will come later
* modified slightly renderer - remember data only in mutexed part -
otherwice it might lead to possible race
* we are playing huffyuv - for now upside-done in player - but
qtrecompress show normal image - this will be fixed
* fixed few problems with ACEL incorect initialization - it still doesn't
work but at least its not crashing.
2001/04/25
* fixed bug in audio playing - missing division by dwSampleSize
* fixed bug with destroying AviPlayer2 object - setting m_bQuit there
* Cursor keys Up/Down means 1m forward backward in the movie
(similar semantic to mplayer - to not confuse people)
* added few fourCC for DivX VKI we will see if this helps
* played a bit with renderer so it should refresh images better
2001/04/22
* fixed bug introduced by me for software scaling
* added few more calls to PlayerWidget - refresh, maximize
* also extended renderer class for refresh call - we are now
finaly able to refresh/resize image in pause mode too
* slightly modified maximize - it goes to fullscreen mode automagicaly
yet it might look slightly weird when the window has to be resized first
as it first switch to fullscreen for the current size,
that it resizes to the new size and finaly switches to this
new screen mode - weird I know, but quite stable for X11
* news keys - 'f' - fullscreen, 'm' - maximize, 'space' - pause
* left mouse click - pause
2001/04/20
* changed video decoder interface to separate caching code from
actual decoding. Now nearly all caching code is situated in
lib/common/impl_video.cpp ( useful for writing new video decoder
plugins, also more logical ).
* fixed a bug in asf parser code which prevented local .asf files
from playing.
* removed arts plugin & software motion jpeg decoder from distribution
( they are unusable anyway ). Fixed a few small linking problems.
2001/04/16
* complete rewrite of Cache.cpp - now should be quite efficient
(should be almost zero wasted time now)
* fixed couple of fast scrolling problems - now should no longer
scroller switch frames by itself - actually I've tried hard
to get this to the perfection - does anyone notice any problems
with aviplayer scroller ?? please let me know
(similar scrolling will be backported to recompressor later)
* fixed most of problems when doing pause - audio should now continue
at the point it has stopped
* fixed detection of audio stream - also buffered time is now included
into calculation so the audio is not being stopped several seconds
before the actual end of video
* made couple changes to be more gcc3.0 compatible - however
this compiler seems to be seriously broken these days and
needs way to much memory to compile classes with member values
which are classes again (pointers are OK)
also for some weird reason std::string as a member value is also
some kind of brake barrier for this compiler
2001/04/07
* another set of gcc3.0 compatibility patches (by Dirk Mueller)
* started to support /dev/misc/mga_vid (not yet finished)
2001/04/07
* continued with cleaning of audio classes
* added few more locks into video renderer
* fixed problem with opening menu in fullscreen window
* using smaller amount of precached images (15)
(rewritten some part of videodecoders)
* popup menu for midle mouse button and about menu is created only once
* fixed bug in ReadString - def_string has not been copied
* fixed couple bugs in qtrecompres - should not by cycling and should
be showing some images at least
* played a bit with qtvidcap - modified some parts of the gui to be
fully resizable
2001/03/31
* heavy cleaning in many files - creating a lot of new files during this process
* fixed problems which has prevented compilation with optimized of Win32 loader
* fixed loop bug in qtrecompress
* mpeg decoder has to be compiled with optimalization because of inlines!
* started to add more types - like fourcc_t
* modified IVideoDecoder - m_bh is now just pointer to memory which
is copy if format - this way we support longer BITMAPINFOHEADER structures
yet few problems still remains
* some modification to configure.in
* possibly fixed problem with asynchronous sound (not so sure for now however)
but this problem problem has to be checked more deeply
for now I've just checked SDL Audio renderer
* changes some mimetype for artsc (to fix debian bugreport)
2001/03/26
* Quality progress bar should give some meaningful status for DivX movies
* another change in time scheduler
* fixed couple destructors so we are getting less coredumps on program exit
* tried to add huffyuv codec - still doesn't work
* fixed few problems with configure.in - should be able to build without SDL
* few more updates for gcc3.0 compatibility
2001/03/21
* few changes to make compilation of avifile on RedHat with broken gcc
more comfortable (so it doesn't take hours to compile one .cpp file)
2001/03/19
* quality setting from command line stays across movie change
* cleanup of huge amount of gcc -pendantic warnings (mainly in lib)
* slightly changed behavior of slider - when paused you should see the image
with slider movement
* added working Xv render - but it has few reason for segfaults so
it currently available only by code editing
* played heavily with the solution for image flickering
nice solution seems to be my new modified version of mga_vid
device taken from mplayer - but we use only code for interrupts
and we rather use this device as interrupt generator - which is clean
and its highly possible that this will hit mainstream kernel sometimes
in the future
currently mga_vid driver is provided with the avifile package - user
has to recompile device itself
* few more fixes in the behaviour of GUI (switching between image size)
* fixed some problems with subtitles (but they should be reworked later)
* fixed and added some noticing messages were some problems with resize appears
* unified volume_func (using quadratic steps for now)
* applied patch for SUN audio on solaris by Juergen Keil <jk@tools.de>
2001/03/12
* started to use unsigned long in most seek commands (4GB compatibility)
this is a big change in the interface and probably few bugs
are still left in the code
also writing code was not yet modified!
* cleaned some interface header files
* added volume slider and mute button
* added quality progres bar (its not yet fully operational -
support for auto quality selection is not finished)
* YV12 doen's work - FIXME
* SDL double buffer doesn't work - FIXME
