The minor reformats are mainly about adding more line breaks to fit a 80
column limit.
Using the new VO API implies removing all non-const global variables
(because that is one important goal of the new API), so do that as well.
The code already had all variables in a context struct, and changing all
the functions to pass this context struct along was all what had to be
done.
Also handle redrawing properly: if something changes that requires an
immediate redrawing operation (e.g. setting video equalizers when paused
or when playback is slow), vo->want_redraw should be set, instead of
redrawing on your own.
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
'./configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information
about the reasons for the failure.
Libraries specific to particular video output methods
(you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv):
- libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards)
- libGL (OpenGL output)
- libXv (XVideo output)
general:
- libasound (ALSA audio output)
- various general X development libraries
- libfreetype
- libfontconfig
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries
and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
