Instead, sd_lavc.c and spudec.c (the two image sub decoders) always
output indexed/paletted images. For this purpose, add SUBBITMAP_INDEXED,
and convert the subs to RGBA in img_convert.c instead. If a VO is used
that supports the old OSD format only, the indexed bitmaps are converted
to the old OSD format by abusing spudec.c in a similar way sd_lavc.c
used to do.
The main reason why spudec.c is used is because the images must not only
be converted to the old format, but also properly scaled, cropped, and
aligned (the asm code in libvo/osd.c requires this alignment).
Remove support for the old format (packed variant) from the OpenGL VOs.
(The packed formats were how the actual OSD format was handled in some
GPU-driven VOs for a while.)
Remove all conversions from old to new formats. Now all subtitle
decoders and OSD renderers produce the new formats only.
Add an evil hack to convert the new format (scaled+indexed bitmaps) to
the old format. It creates a new spudec instance to convert images to
grayscale and to scale them. This is temporary for VOs which don't
support new OSD formats yet (vo_xv, vo_x11, vo_lavc).
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 (for libass)
- libfontconfig (for libass)
- 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.
