New Features:
- Added support for Annodex bitsream format. The Annodex bitstream
format is a subset of the Ogg encapsulation format: it"s basically
Ogg with extra timing information, so that time-based stream
- Added support for VobSub-in-Matroska (Vobsub is raw subtitle
stream from a DVD. This patch enables support for VobSub
- Added support for 44100Hz DTS in .wav files
- Added experimental time stretching plugin: play stream faster or
slower than original speed, optionally preserving pitch
- Added configure option for building xine with external ffmpeg
library
- Added api for finer playback speed control (requires frontend
support)
- Added support for QuickTime 6.3 DLLs
- Added support for mp3 audio in mp4 files
- Added support for using utf-8 for matroska subtitles
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
installation using XFree86/xorg packages from pkgsrc.
Apply patch from FUKAUMI Naoki in PR pkg/26743, no bump PKGREVISION
because there aren't functional changes if XFree86/xorg from pkgsrc
is not used.
assembly language module zoom_filter_xmmx.c breaks when optimized. Some
googling indicates that this is also encountered with FreeBSD and Linux.
A review of the CVS tree for xine shows that this module has been
removed. As as module is only built if MMX is detected (HAVE_FFMMX
defined) removing the module should not break anything; that is the
approach taken in this new patch that removes building zoom_filter_xmmx
from Makefile.in for xineplug_post_goom.la
changes:
rc4a:
Some have experienced problems with rc4 due a bug managing the colorkey
overlay for XV (XVideo). With some video cards (most notably Matrox), it
caused parts of the image to not be displayed properly. These bugs have
now been fixed. Others have experienced compilation problems in our
previous releases resulting in static noise being produced for WMA streams.
This has also been fixed in rc4a.
Users of 5.1 and other audio surround setups will need to reconfigure their
xine settings. A newer, more user-friendly, "Speaker arrangement" config
item is now provided and must be used.
rc5:
xine-lib 1-rc5 contains important fixes from our previous release,
most notably compilation fixes for AMD64 plataform, fixed
downloading of reference files (asx, rm, etc) with HTTP, some
crashes with win32 DLLs and playback issues of some MPEG streams.
There are cool new features as well, like the surround 5.1 upmix
plugin and MacOS X support.
(If you use another platform, please share your details.)
This fixes a problem where under Linux, the sun and xv
plugins are not installed and then 36 additional new plugins
are installed (Linux only). (Thank you to Sebastian Prause
for Linux PLIST information.)
Use PLIST_SUBST for the i386 files and remove PLIST.i386.
changes:
This release improves playback of some streams, reduces flickering
of OSD and brings a whole bunch of updated libraries.
It does also fix a vulnerability in xine's RTSP streaming code.
See XSA-2004-3 for more information!
XXX powerpc asm stuff needs to be checked
XXX didn't test the "arts" stuff
* fix the deadlock with non-seekable input plugins
* guess codeset for OSD if nl_langinfo(CODESET) is missing or not working
* new option - list of domains, where don't use proxy
* fix possible crashes in front-ends that create and delete streams
* send a message to the front-end when the audio device is busy
* revert changes to the DVD plugin that made it impossible to play mounted
DVDs
* use xine network functions in CDDB lookups, fix connection timeout
* preparing for future MinGW port
* improved network buffer management policy.
* asf/mmst/mmsh proper support for "media changing" command.
* improve playback with separate subtitles, fix the seeking and a deadlock
* DVD still menus fixed that were broken in rc3b
[Note: The way the previous was "fixed" is a kluge.]
* deadlocks with network buffer control fixed
* DXR3's letterboxed overlay mode works with pan&scan material
* DXR3: timestamp handling for NAV packets fixes the menu on the first
DVD of "24" season 1
* fixed audio sync method "resampling"
NetBSD. Applied the same symbol hacks that are used to make the Linux
RealPlayer modules work with mplayer -- but also use the native RV2.0 codec
now.
17.03.2004 xine-lib 1-3c3b released
This version adds support for Matroska
files, Flash Video and Sierra VMD files, as
well as OpenDML 2.0 support for the AVI
demuxer. In addition, this new library can
now handle a variety of file formats from
the Amiga computer, including a variety of
IFF files and MOD/S3M/XM/IT/etc music
tracker formats (thanks to the ModPlug
library). The new library version contains
several new video decoders including Sierra
video, Flash Video, Real Video 2.0 Duck
TrueMotion v1, 8BPS, MZSH, ZLIB, ASV1,2,
ATI VCR1 (all courtesy of ffmpeg). Network
streaming drivers are enhanced, including
secure HTTP, MMS, and RTP/UDP. As for video
drivers, there is new support for the CACA
library (colored ASCII art), and
fixed/improved support for SDL and Sun
PGX32 video. As always the core xine engine
has been enhanced for greater stability so
that you can just play your multimedia with
ease.
by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
- Fixed some bugs which caused xine to segfault under certain conditions,
and a long-standing issue that would make xine hang with the NPTL
implementation in Linux kernel 2.6.
- Stabilized core engine and much improved subtitles.
- Built-in VCD navigation, XvMC support and better handling of funny filenames.
- A security hole regarding the "#save" MRL option has been closed.
- Added a feature: append "#save:filename" to an MRL to save the stream during
playback.
- Lots of bugfixes.
