When anyone who comes to offer code gets nothing but flames from Rich, he might as well speak for all mplayer developers. When he says, "We don't believe in such nonsense here," is that supposed to be the royal "We" or does it sound like he is speaking for everyone? I don't bother trying to send my improvements back here anymore because it's just not worth the abuse, and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. When you get flamed for your quoting style, the format of your diff, or how many siginificant digits you used to approximate the decimal value of 30000/1001 into an email message with, it's pretty clear that what you are tying to offer is of little concern; you aren't welcome and will get attacked regardless of what you say. PS. I already know Rich wants to respon to just my third sentence with, "Good, you are an idiot and we won't want you or your kind anywhere near mplayer. Your existance diminishes us all. The way you reply to the messages from the digest is the most annoying thing I have ever seen, and we all hate you for it." So I'll just save him the trouble and tell him I already know.

Released Aud-X codec DLL
by Marek Dziubinski Aud-X 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hi All, I represent Aud-X Team - group of enthusiasts who released the new free 5.1 sound (surround) coding technology. Basically, Aud-X is mp3 backwards compatible and allows for highg quality 5.1 sound with 128 kbps. It is CBR, thus AVI compatible. Also, we have release an improved edition of VirtualDubMod to encode movies with Aud-X, executable frotnend for transcoding, and DirectShow filter for decoding (to learn more, please visit. www.aud-x.com, or www.videohelp.com, or www.doom9.org or www.hydrogenaudio.org to find relevant info) --------------------- We have released DLLs with our codec for third party developers. Our users suggested that it would be great to incorporate Aud-X in MPlayer, so here I come... Would you consider embedding it in MPlayer? To whom should I send the DLLs (with info on how to use'em) Please let me know, Marek Dziubinski Aud-X Team Member www.aud-x.com

Join the club of people who tried to contribute to mplayer and were attacked for it. Rich simply hates everyone and everything. Don't bother trying to reason with them, they don't care. No matter what you say or do they will just flame you.

[PATCH 11/11] MPlayer <-> GeeXboX patches port : Single binary
by Benjamin Zores 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Final patch isn't really a patch (or repost) but a question. I've sent to this list some times ago (nearly 6 month) a patch for having MPlayer and MEncoder sharing a part of their code (mainly global variables) which resulted in having MPlayer and MEncoder being a shared single and unified binary to avoid code duplication. Is someone still interested in it ? >From what I remind, the patch wasn't rejected but we were stuck with the "howto start mencoder from Windows" problem (as mencoder only was a link to mplayer, as gmplayer is). So if we fix the Windows problem (suggestions welcomed), I might be able to port it to CVS and split it to small parts to be appliable pieces by pieces.

[PATCH] standalone codec-cfg: remove mp_msg dependency
by Reimar Döffinger 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Hi, currently codec-cfg does not compile anymore on MinGW, because it uses mp_msg but does not link to libiconv. The attached patch removes the dependency to mp_msg.c, which I find the best solution. Okay to commit? Greetings, Reimar Döffinger

[PATCH] stupid pragma-len check in asf_streaming.c
by Reimar Döffinger 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Hi, attached is a proposal for fixing $subject. Problem 1: features[len] can be outside the array, since someone forgot the needed space for the terminating 0. Problem 2: The ParseWarnCuttedPragma message is only printed in the (end == NULL) case, not when it is truncated in the else path. This seemed like the best solution to me, though maybe not the one with the smallest diff. Please comment. Greetings, Reimar Döffinger

[BUG?][PATCH] af_equalizer too quiet
by Corey Hickey 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

I noticed that mplayer -af equalizer reduces the volume significantly. Consider this command: $ mplayer file.mp3 -af equalizer (this corresponds to -af equalizer=0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0) Since the suboptions accept a range from -12 to 12 and 0 is the default, I would expect 0 to be the neutral position and to have no effect on the audio. Instead, the volume is reduced by a factor of 40 by line 193 of af_equalizer.c: *out=yt/(4.0*10.0); Is that a bug? If so, the attached patch fixes it. -Corey Index: libaf/af_equalizer.c =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/mplayer/main/libaf/af_equalizer.c,v retrieving revision 1.5 diff -u -r1.5 af_equalizer.c --- libaf/af_equalizer.c 27 Dec 2004 17:30:13 -0000 1.5 +++ libaf/af_equalizer.c 23 Nov 2005 04:00:56 -0000 @@ -190,7 +190,7 @@ wq[0] = w; } // Calculate output - *out=yt/(4.0*10.0); + *out=yt; out+=nch; } }
