The builtin libavcodec now uses yasm to assemble hand written
h264 code. The older x264 we currently have in pkgsrc is not supported
by mplayer, so I had to do some hand tweaking to make it work.
It may contain bugs because of this, so report any fallouts with h264.
(stack-based buffer overflow in the str_read_packet function in
libavformat/psxstr.c)
-add (a modified version of) the ffmpeg 4xm patch which fixes
possible memory corruption
bump PKGREVISION
to version 1.0rc2 (as 1.0rc10).
Changes since version 1.0rc1 (known as 1.0rc9 in "pkgsrc"):
- A lot of new audio and video decoders and other improvements
- A large number of bug fixes
- Updated documentation
- Support for Mac OS X Intel
Approved by Thomas Klausner (because it fixes the Darwin-i386 build).
Check wLongsPerEntry before using it.
This fixes a potential crash for some values of it.
As a side effect it works around broken callocs with an integer
overflow vulnerability, but using MPlayer on such systems should
never be assumed to be safe!
This should fix SA26806 (http://secunia.com/advisories/26806/).
bump PKGREVISIONs
sync mplayer and gmplayer buildlink includes. Add the following:
- to gmplayer to match mplayer: libXinerama libXv
- to gmplayer only: libdvdnav
- to both: libXvMC libXxf86dga libXxf86vm
is upstream 1.0rc1, but we already used rc for the previous versions).
With valuable help from drochner, thanks!
ChangeLog:
MPlayer 1.0rc1: "Codename intentionally left blank"
DOCS:
* German documentation translation finished
* Russian documentation translation synced and almost finished
Drivers:
* IVTV hardware MPEG audio/video decoder output
* ALSA audio output: AC3 passthrough now works even when the device name of the digital output port has been set by the user
* bicubic OpenGL scaling works with ATI cards
* md5sum switched to the libavutil MD5 implementation
* support for libcaca 1.0 via compatibility layer
Decoders:
* liba52 updated to 0.7.4 (slightly faster)
* SSE optimizations for mp3lib
* removed support for obsolete and non-free divx4 libraries
Demuxers:
* audio stream switching in MPEG-TS/PS, Matroska and streams supported by libavformat
* audio stream switching between streams with different codecs
* libavformat demuxer now honors -alang
* chapter seeking in Matroska files
* fixed seeking to absolute and percent position for libavformat demuxer
* NUT demuxer using libnut
* Matroska SimpleBlock support
Inputs:
* split of stream layer from libmpdemux to new stream library
* PVR input for hardware MPEG encoder based cards, such as Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150/250/350/500 AKA IVTV but also pvrusb2 and cx88 (requires Linux >= 2.6.18 kernel, featuring native V4L2 MPEG API)
* native RTSP input (handles MPEG-TS over RTP) for generic RTSP servers
* support for seeking to chapters in dvd:// and dvdnav:// streams
* radio support (radio://)
FFmpeg/libavcodec:
* VC-1/WMV3/WMV9 video decoder
* Vorbis decoding speedup, now default Vorbis decoder
* VMware Video decoder
* On2 VP50 and VP62 decoder
* lossless audio decoders: WavPack, TTA, Shorten
* CAVS decoder
* GXF muxer/demuxer
* MXF demuxer
* much improved FLAC encoder
* more H.264 decoding speed improvements, plus support for -lavdopts fast
* Theora decoder fixes
* preliminary Vorbis encoder
* MTV demuxer
GUI:
* Windows version added
* drag-and-drop ignored last file
* save and load cache setting correctly
* working audio stream selection for Ogg and Matroska files
* executable names like gmplayer_old etc. will now start GUI as well
* -gui/-nogui options
* xinerama fixes, now behaves similar to MPlayer without GUI
Filters:
* MMX-optimizations for -vf yadif
* MMX-optimizations for -vf zrmjpeg
MEncoder:
* support of x264 encoding via libavcodec
* rewrite -x264encopts option parser to use the 264 option parser; likely breaks 3rd party tools as the syntax of some options has changed
* removed support for obsolete and non-free divx4 libraries
Ports:
* partial Intel Mac support, --disable-win32 --disable-mp3lib is needed
* OpenGL can now create windows > screen size under Windows
* allow filenames starting with \\ for remote paths on Windows
Others:
* SSA/ASS subtitle renderer
* -endpos option for MPlayer
* -correct-pts option
* UTF-8 used for OSD and subtitles, some bitmap fonts will no longer work correctly and -subcp must be set for all non-UTF-8 subtitles
* more audio-truncation fixes
* libavutil mandatory for MPlayer compilation
* more intuitive -edlout behaviour
* -nortc is now default since -rtc has disadvantages with recent kernels
too many changes to list here, see the ChangeLog
most visible: security patches and DragonFly support were intrgrated
upstream, new gmplayer look&feel (like it or not...)
which we had a patch for
-add another patch from the Mplayer site which fixes CVE-2006-0579
(ASF demuxer overflows)
bump PKGREVISIONS of mplayer, mencoder and gmplayer
