Previously the core sent VFCTRL_REDRAW_OSD to change OSD contents over
the current frame. Change this to VFCTRL_REDRAW_FRAME followed by
normal EOSD and OSD drawing calls, then vo_flip_page(). The new
version supports changing EOSD contents for libass-rendered subtitles
and simplifies the redraw support code needed per VO. vo_xv doesn't
support EOSD changes because it relies on vf_ass to render EOSD
contents earlier in the filter chain.
vo_xv logic is additionally simplified because the previous commit
removed the need to track the status of current and next images
separately (now each frame is guaranteed to become "visible" soon
after we receive it as "next", with no VO code running in the interval
between).
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.
