[MPlayer-cygwin] bug hunting

[Samuel Liddicott]

Diego, can you please add to that list of cygwin bugs the playing of encrypted DVD's which is reported only to work with S.Somer's patch which I can't track down; certainly CVS and rc3 cannot play encrypted DVD's.

Also there is a problem playing titles on unencrypted DVD's that start more than 2GB into the disk, a seek error is given, I obtained this with the Bagpuss 13 episode DVD where episodes past episode 4 won't play and mplayer gives a seek error.

Hi!

We are wrapping up the 0.90 release but there are still some bugs
lingering in our Cygwin version.  A few things broke between releases,
maybe you can help me find the exact date and/or commit that broke it
so we might hopefully fix it.

- Sometime between RC1 and RC2 compilation with --disable-streaming
  broke.

- Real DLLs have been working at some unknown point in the past.

- QT DLLs work for some people and not for others.  Maybe we can do a
  bit more detective work around this issue.

- Win32 DLLs would be really cool - Sascha ? ;-)

Any help/research/patch is appreciated.

Strangely --disable-streaming works if I remove the ifndef lines in
libmpdemux/demux_mov.c.

// inclusion of fcntl.h cause cygwin gcc crash
#ifndef __CYGWIN__
#include <fcntl.h>
#endif

gcc 2.95.3-10 then gives an internal compiler error, gcc 3.2 is fine.
Does anybody still use 2.95.3-10 with Cygwin?  Should we remove this
and stop supporting that compiler or is it not worth it?  Any better
solution?
Thanks

Diego

  Do you have this patch, or is it no longer applicable?

  BTW I have also found on a unencrypted DVD with 13 titles only thr first few play, the rest give seek errors.
  I will post more on this later.

  My unencrypted DVD seemed to show signs of slow and jerkyness.

  Thanks
