mplayer project, and the next release after 0.1.10 (the one we're coming
from) was 4.1.1.
libdvdnav (4.1.3)
* an embarassing amount of fixes regarding potential memory and resource leaks
(patches contributed by Erik Hovland)
* added dvdread-config (dvdnav-config's younger brother)
* added pkg-config support
* split dvdread to a separate tree; now you need to check it out
and install it before building libdvdnav.
In order to configure libdvdnav We need the executable dvdread-config
somewhere in the PATH or explicitly specified to configure[2] with
--with-dvdread-config=~/bin/dvdread-config
libdvdnav (4.1.2)
* multiple build system fixes
* added dvdnav_describe_title_chapters(title) to get title and chapters
duration
libdvdnav (4.1.1)

* fixed dvdnav_time_search() in multi-angle dvds (but it still needs
improvements)
* added dvdnav_audio_stream_format() to identify the codec used
in audio streams
* starting DVD playback at specific title/part positions with
dvdnav_{title,part}_play() works again
* removed wrong SPU stream change event filter
(fixes unwanted subtitles in the trailer of "Girl, interrupted", RC2)
* fixed error "Expected NAV packet but none found." occuring sometimes
on resume from menu
maintained by the mplayer project and according to the changelog, this
dvdread package was split out from dvdnav in 4.1.3. Check the ChangeLog
in the distfile for the full drama.

this is a quick way to connect to the local server without having to
check the log files to see what port was used this time.
* Bump PKGREVISION
it's disabled (fixes a build problem).
Add patches from upstream SVN to fix build problems with newer x264
snapshots, like the one in pkgsrc.
Bump PKGREVISION for pulseaudio change.
This video thumbnailer can be used by file managers to create thumbnails for
your video files. The thumbnailer uses ffmpeg to decode frames from the video
files, so supported videoformats depend on the configuration flags of ffmpeg.
This thumbnailer was designed to be as fast and lightweight as possible. The
only dependencies are ffmpeg, libpng and libjpeg.
This is a shared library built from source provided by Adobe and
modified by the PulseAudio project which enables the use of
the PulseAudio sound server in the multimedia/ns-flash and
multimedia/adobe-flash-plugin packages.
Non Linux platforms will probably also need www/nspluginwrapper
Netscape plugin for Adobe Flash player. This package contains
a plugin that enables Netscape to render the Flash format.
The nspluginwrapper option (enabled by default) permits the use of
the the Linux x86 flash player in Firefox browsers on other x86
systems.
Systems tested with nspluginwrapper:
- NetBSD 5.0 - works
- firefox 3.0.x - works
please see the repository for more information. I'm doing this update
our version is over a year old and some software is starting to require
a newer version.
Totem is simple movie player for the GNOME desktop based on GStreamer and
Xine. It features a playlist, a full-screen mode, seek and volume controls,
as well as a pretty complete keyboard navigation.
This package contains a mozilla plugin for playing back media from a
web page.
PSPVC is an FFMPEG front-end to convert video files for the PSP. It allows
you to queue severals conversions with different parameters for each.

* MPEG4/SP (all firmware)
* H264/AVC (firmware 2.0+)
* H264/AVC 480x272 (firmware 3.03-OE-B+)
Clutter-GStreamer (clutter-gst) is an integration library for using GStreamer
with Clutter.
Clutter is an open source software library for creating fast, visually
rich and animated graphical user interfaces. It uses OpenGL for drawing
primitives and has multiple backends, allowing its usage on different
platforms.
GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters
which operate on media data. Applications using this library can do
anything from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just
about anything else media-related. Its plugin-based architecture means
that new data types or processing capabilities can be added simply by
installing new plug-ins.
GStreamer is a library that allows the construction of graphs of
media-handling components, ranging from simple Ogg/Vorbis playback to
complex audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.
Applications can take advantage of advances in codec and filter technology
transparently. Developers can add new codecs and filters by writing a
simple plugin with a clean, generic interface.
GStreamer is released under the LGPL.
This package is part of the 'good' plugins for GStreamer. It provides a
plugin to access devices via HAL.

Theora is Xiph.Org's first publicly released video codec, intended for
use within the Ogg's project's Ogg multimedia streaming system. Theora
is derived directly from On2's VP3 codec; currently the two are nearly
identical, varying only in encapsulating decoder tables in the bitstream
headers, but Theora will make use of this extra freedom in the future to
improve over what is possible with VP3.
This package contains the API documentation for libtheora.

the files which can be accessed.
2.) Add a startup script to start the server automatically.
Bump package revision because of these fixes. Changes approved by
Alistair Crooks.
Phonon is the Multimedia API for KDE and QT.
In Phonon there are three main concepts: MediaObjects, Paths and Outputs.
The MediaObjects control the playback/capture and provide the media data.
MediaObjects can be connected to Outputs using Path objects which also

0.5.4 ("2 advanced")
Features left and right make this release. Unfortunately a lot of reorganization
was necessary. In particular this release contains:
- Swfdec supports FutureSplash movies now
- rewrite GStreamer audio and video back ends. They work perfectly now and are
the default and only enabled back ends. Other back ends are still available
via configure switches.
- support for the TextField object. This makes YouTube show the time correctly.
- support for ActionScript exception handling and inheritance actions Cast,
Implements, InstanceOf, Try and Throw.
- support for the MovieClipLoader object and loadMovie functions. This allows
Flash movies to load other Flash movies.
- support for loading JPEG and PNG images.
- add an initial and incomplete implementation of the Flash security framework

- lots of small improvements
0.5.3 ("Tennis")
Lots of new built-in objects and code cleanup are the highlights of yet another
Swfdec release. And a little less condensed:
- rework of what APIs call into the script engine. This greatly simplifies using
libswfdec in applications.
- rework invalidation handling. Less parts of the screen need to be redrawn on
changes, but the SwfdecPlayer::invalidate signal changed.
- support the built-in Date, XML, Sound, System.capabilities and TextFormat
objects plus MovieClip drawing functions
- add initial support for blend modes and filters (full support is expected with
Cairo 1.6)
- clean up initialization, video engine, sound engine and shape parsing code.
All the code should now be more robust, easier to read and have less broken
corner cases. And Swfdec supports VP6 alpha video now.
- lots of old Flash files that use Flash 4-style paths to lookup values should
work correctly now.
- a huge list of bugfixes and little features, see the git log for details.
0.5.2 ("Kittencannon")
This release saw a lot of internal cleanups and only little new features. But
even that made a lot of files work and work better. Here's some detail:
- add initial support for Keyboard events. This makes quite some games work.
- add NetStream.close() functionality. This makes Youtube fullscreen work.
- export more API for debugging, like SwfdecScript and SwfdecAsDebugger.
- add new Vivified internal debugger that makes use of those.
- Swfdec can parse Flash 8 Buttons now.
- Swfdec should now set and handle all property flags correctly.
- implement LoadVars object
- make lots of native functions more correct for weird situations.
- various bugfixes, including some very visible ones. This should improve
playback for some Flash files a lot.
0.5.1 ("Heeeeelium")
Features! This release got some. And they even give you the long awaited
embedded Youtube support. At the cost of lots of API changes, but who cares?
- rewrite SwfdecLoader. Add SwfdecURL support structure in the process.
- implement AsBroadcaster actionscript object.
- implement Stage actionscript object. Movies can now do the scaling themselves.
- change the HTTP in swfdec-gtk from gnome-vfs to libsoup
- add an OSS backend for non-ALSA operating systems.
- various fixes to super and DefineFunction2 flags.
0.5.0 ("Meet Plan Party!")
Here's the long overdue update. Lots of backend stuff was rewritten. The only
thing that is missing now is more features. Expect them in the next releases.
- New and more correct script interpreter engine. The engine is even exported
for your coding pleasure.
- New instance placement handling algorithm. This one seems to produce much
better correctness results than the old one.
- More ActionScript bytecodes are supported, in particular CloneSprite and
RemoveSprite
- improve String reading in earlier Flash versions (Flash <=5 is Latin1, not
UTF8)
- implement some more Actionscript functions (most important is probably
createEmptyMovieClip ())
- lots of bugfixes
0.4.5 ("Death of the Desktop")
This is strictly a bugfix release. Have fun.
- fix linking issues on Solaris/BSD.
- fix various crashers.
0.4.4 ("Birthday Cards")
This is a stability release. The number of new supported Flash features
is limited.
- add initial support for some tags from Flash 8 (in particular
DefineShape4 and PlaceObject3)
- audio and video can now be decoded with GStreamer
- add new API in the form of libswfdec-gtk for people that want to
include Swfdec in their applications
- improve the JPEG decoding code (less crashy, more JPEGs decoded)
- throw zzuf (http://sam.zoy.org/zzuf/) at Swfdec and fix exposed
issues
- various fixes that make writing bindings simpler
- lots of bugs fixed, including: 10551, 10629
0.4.3 ("Your tube")
This release can play Youtube video. While this alone is enough for a
release, this was needed to make it possible:
- add lots of new features to the script interpreter, in particular
support for inheritance and the Object.registerClass function.
- rework the streaming and implement the NetStream, NetConnection and
XML script objects partially
- support passing variables to movies
- improvements to the JPEG decoder
- improvements to the debugging framework and the debugger
- support some more Flash 8 tags (in particular DefineFont3)
0.4.2 ("Two completely different numbers")
The main change for this release is changing script execution from
compiling to SpiderMonkey bytecode to executiong it manually. This made
it far easier and a lot more stable to run scripts. Other changes:
- Implement color transformations on images.
- Support some more ActionScript codes.
- Added swfdec_loader_get_filename() function to exported API.
- Allow compiling tests and tools without ALSA support
- Lots of bugfixes.
- Lots of new tests and debugging tools.
0.4.1 ("Dragostea din tei")
This release introduces video features. Quite a bit of internal
restructuring was necessary to achieve this. The API has been changed
from 0.4.0. Changes:
- swfdec_player_iterate has been replaced by swfdec_player_advance
- some functions (like swfdec_player_set_audio_advance) have been
completely removed. The same effect can be achieved by using
swfdec_player_advance.
- Add support for video playback. This does not include scripting
video.
- Add native FLV support to swfdec.
- Fix the caching layer. So SWF files with lots of images no longer
crash swfdec.
- Lots of bugfixes.
0.4.0 ("festivally plump")
This is the result of 3 months of refactoring, testing stuff and
generally playing around with swfdec. I'll try to list the big
changes:
- rip out support for outdated libart
- rip out included glib
- rework the object system to have a lot more objects
- split objects into "live" (SwfdecMovie, SwfdfecAudio), "static"
(SwfdecCharacter) and Javascript (JSObjects)
- compile Flash Actionscript codes into SpiderMonkey bytecode
- add testsuite
- reverse engineer script execution order
- reverse engineer seeking in sprite movies
- implement lots of other Actionscript functions
- documentation for public API
- removal of all plugins (the Mozilla plugin exists as a seperate
package now)
- new small test application (not installed)
- slightly bigger script debugging application (not installed)
0.3.6 ("5.11d")
This is less of a release and more of a "toss a bunch of code into
the air". You're not going to like this release, really. So don't
bother compiling it. Don't even bother downloading it. It really
just differently buggy than the last release. Certain parts may
feel more solid, like the mozilla plugin, but the entire experience
will probably just be slower and less featureful. I already know
there are problems, don't bother reporting them, since it will
simply remind me of how crappy this release is. The only redeeming
factor of this release is that it doesn't crash. Ever. Well,
except for the bugs. Backtraces and media files welcome. You
could even use the handy new pop-up menu in the Mozilla plugin to
report a bug, except that I don't have the website backend running
yet.
