GUI status
by Uoti Urpala 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

The GUI won't compile after the libvo changes I posted, and I plan to make several more changes that break assumptions the GUI code currently relies on (especially removing globals that the GUI currently accesses). I'm not willing to maintain the GUI myself to keep it working. Is someone else willing to maintain the GUI even if it requires nontrivial changes? If it is basically maintained but not always kept up to date with incompatible changes elsewhere how to deal with that? Do we want to have "last version known to support internal GUI" available to users? One possibility would be to move the GUI code to a separate repository with a dependency on an explicit version of the main MPlayer repository. Then the main repository could be developed independently of the GUI, and the GUI dependency could be updated to a newer version once it has been checked to work with that. Of course this does require that there is a somewhat active GUI maintainer that at least makes sure security fixes appear in the GUI version too etc.

gmplayer "freeze" on TERM signal
by Dion Rasmussen 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hello, I'm starting gmplayer with some default command-line switches and stopping it again with the killall command. Before I wrote the change (attached as a patch), gmplayer froze due to a GTK error dialog, which require a click to terminate and quite frustrating. The easy way out (as the patch will show) is to simply comment out the fatal error "debug" message generated on every signal (as far as i understood), and stop bothering the user with pseudo-debug messages (we're not really crashing). Check it out! Regards Dion (dion.rasmussen(a)gmail.com)

[PATCH] updated old v4lw vo patch
by kirin_e＠users.sourceforge.net 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hi, I've recently been playing around a bit with v4l vloopback and have updated an old mplayer patch i found that added a video4linux write vo. Figured i'd send the updated version to the list in case it's of use to someone else. Patch is against snapshot 2008-04-05. Updated patch is attached, the old original patch is found here: http://www.tibit.org/video/ Just install the vloopback kernel module 1.1-rc1 and then patch mplayer & enable the vo with: 'configure --enable-v4lw' To use: 'mplayer -vo v4lw:/dev/videoX' Now you can read from the other end of the vloopback pipe with whatever program you use, mplayer or something else. Just make sure you specify correct resolution or you will get garbled video output as vloopback doesn't resize or crop. /kirin

[PATCH] Fix dependencies between muxer and demuxer
by Alban Bedel 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hi again, following my previous post, now are fixes for vivodump. They allow to use libmpmux without libmpdemux. The first patch fix the mpeg muxer which use the aac frame parser. The second fix the lavf muxer which use some common tag list with the demuxer. Albeu

libvo changes
by Uoti Urpala 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

These patches remove variable arguments from VO control() functions. I haven't tested most of the changes as I don't compile those VOs, but hopefully there aren't too many bugs. I created these in preparation of creating a data struct for VOs, but that isn't complete yet and I thought I'd post these first.

[PATCH] v4l formats + planar u, y swapped
by kirin_e＠users.sourceforge.net 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

3 other patches i did, separate from the v4lw update in my last mail. First one is a bug fix i guess? planar_swapped.patch: 444p/422p/411p doesn't have u & y planes in same order as yv12 v4l_autoformat.patch: actually check if format is supported so we don't always try to use yv12 tv_format.patch: adds bgr24/32 and 422p as supported in v4l /kirin

[PATCH] More detailed timestamps on OSD
by jeep.REMOVE.SPAM＠gsmpaaiml.com 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Hello, the OSD currently shows only seconds (and minutes and hours) but does not show the fractional part of the pts. This is especially annoying when stepping through a video frame by frame while trying to set frame exact cut marks. The attached patch does not change the default behaviour of mplayer, but allows to show the fractional part of pts either as fractional part or by an estimated frame count. Kind regards, Christian
