MPlayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes - libvo: x11/xv driver split into x11 and xv drivers - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only OpenGL thought that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :) MPlayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31, 2000 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes - libmpeg2/decode.c modified: - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows when to display it - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with MPEG-2 streams (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101) - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg) -> keep information of the header changes (after init) - MPEG image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed (no more green stripe at the bottom) - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction) if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size - mplayer.c: video output moved out from AVI/MPG init sections and now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global) - new keys: ESC => quit + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second k => kill/restart the MPEG codec process (for testing) - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again! - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video 0 = none (unused yet) 1 = MPEG-1/2 video 2 = Win32/VfW video codec - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options: #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis. - help updated - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both AVI & MPEG) - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (DivX audio and ms-adpcm) can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks. Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/MP3 allows it). - AVI: audio delay correction if seeking inside the chunk is not possible MPlayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24, 2000 "Xmas edition" MPEG signal & EOF fixes - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho] - `term destroys if mplayer (MPG) called from mc.ext` bug fixed: added sighandler to the 3rd process (MPEG codec) to avoid sig. recursion - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player()) - MPEG EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults (contains module number where the segfault occurred) - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files) (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1') MPlayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22, 2000 flipping fixed - AVI image flipping reworked: - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down - image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga) - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from XAnim source) MPlayer v0.10-pre4: test release, small fixes - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again! [thanks to David Whysong] - libmpeg2 upgraded MPlayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10, 2000 test release, verbose mode, new docs - new option: -v = increment verbosity level (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent) - default level: 0, only some informal output - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, AVI header, function values - player debug: 2, print AVI indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level 3) - bitrate calculation for AVI files - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections - TVout directory added (only the scripts) MPlayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8, 2000 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled - AVI: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect) - AVI: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile] - AVI: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default (disable with -nobps if you want) - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility? - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc] MPlayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5, 2000 test release, players merged!!! - avip and mpegp have been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer' - file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other) - no redundant code (common code for common jobs) - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files) - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp) - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports) if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise image size will be scaled to <value> pixels. For example: 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h] - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision) MPlayer v0.09: Dec 5, 2000 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3] - version changed in the files - docs updated MPlayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3, 2000 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger] - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting in near-perfect seeking now! current method calculates absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it doesn't work yet... - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format) - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format) I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps? MPlayer v0.09-pre2: bugfix test-release - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c Walken told me that standard MPG/VOB streams must NOT use framerate and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller. - CRC support to mp3lib's MPEG audio layer-2 decoder thanks for bug report & test file to Samson MPlayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1, 2000 bugfix test-release - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...) - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code) [thanks to Christian Birchinger] MPlayer v0.08: Nov 27, 2000 Index support, AVI seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option) - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because it segfaults if compiled optimized (it does some hacks with pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it) - added new tool called aviparse (read and check AVI file structure) - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped - termcap usage is optional (for those Debian users without termcap) - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*) - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11) - sse is called 'sse' again - 'flags' field renamed to 'features' - Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED - AVI seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented no PTS resync after seek yet. - default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11 MPlayer v0.07: Nov 21, 2000 Easier compile - Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot) - Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :) - Updated DOCS/INSTALL MPlayer v0.06: Nov 20, 2000 Better codec selection - AVI audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file, loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this - YUV support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle YUV properly YUV works fine with DivX, MPEG-4, cvid, and upside-down iv50 - DOCS/INSTALL updated - DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added MPlayer v0.05: Nov 18, 2000 Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player - code merged with mpegplayer, new Makefile, some small modifications - docs updated and moved to DOCS MPlayer v0.04: Nov 17, 2000 YUV (YUY2) support with DivX 3.11 DLL, some code cleanup, preview-release MPlayer v0.03: Nov 14, 2000 MPlayer v0.01: Nov 11, 2000 first preview version based on new MPEGplayer's codebase. it contains the Win32 loader from avifile, and can decode DivX 3.11 video. mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000 MPEG codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance. mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000 MPEG codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was great stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!) mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000 The first try, hacked together in half an hour! I've used libmpeg3 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were image quality and speed problems with it.
