1460 - added GL-test directory, it contains source and compiler script of a
1461 very simple open-gl texture updating (glTexSubImage) test program.
1462 if it runs well, then mplayer -o gl should work, too.
1463 it works on G400+Utah-GLX, but segfaults in the G400 driver of X 4.0.2/DRI.
1464 try it with different cards/drivers, and please report me the results.

1497 specify the correct fps at commandline (-fps), +-1 fps allowed...
1498 [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from ASF headers :(((]
1499 - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
1500 if you see many warning! messages playing an ASF file, then contact
1501 me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
1502 Don't forget: there is no public doc about the ASF file format, so
1503 everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
1504 we will never have a working ASF player...
1505 - ASF fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...

1513 It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
1514 - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
1515 -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
1516 - MPEG bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
1517 then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
1518 -> fixed seeking for those MPEGs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
1519 - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
1520 - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
1521 [bugreport: Kang Sun]

1643 MPlayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6, 2001
1644 x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
1645 - version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
1646 - inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
1647 - depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
1648 differenciate between 15 and 16bpp)
1649 - x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
1650 - yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
1651 conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
1652 - AVI playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
1653 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
1654 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
1655 - libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs, too!!! fixed...
1656 - all x11 modes tested (and MPEG/24bpp byteorder fixed):
1658 15bpp C convert memcpy
1659 16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
1660 24bpp C convert memcpy
1661 32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
1662 => now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
1666 MPlayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5, 2001
1667 MPEG fixes, fullscreen support
1668 - vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
1669 yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
1670 fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bug report: Gabucino]
1671 - Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
1672 Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
1673 including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
1674 - simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0, too?) users
1675 - homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
1679 MPlayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4, 2001
1680 better user messages, MP3 codec selection, demuxer changes
1681 - w32codec.zip restored at the FTP site (somehow it got damaged...)
1682 - added version.h, and used its content everywhere
1683 - 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
1684 setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
1685 - some more messages added if verbose>=1
1686 - demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
1687 'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
1688 - adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
1689 ./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3DNow! [idea: Gabucino]
1690 - automatic fallback to mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
1696 - AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
1697 inside the chunk, so DivX audio works without big delays!!!
1698 - AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
1699 so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
1700 - A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
1701 Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
1702 - fixed AVI sync in -bps mode, too! :) (perfect except that Desperado AVI)
1706 MPlayer v0.10: Jan 1, 2001 "The new year" release!
1709 - it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
1714 MPlayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
1715 - libvo: x11/xv driver split into x11 and xv drivers
1716 - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
1717 - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
1718 OpenGL thought that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
1722 MPlayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31, 2000
1723 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
1724 - libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
1725 - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
1726 - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
1727 => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
1728 - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
1730 - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with MPEG2 streams
1731 (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
1732 - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
1733 -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
1734 -> keep information of the header changes (after init)
1735 - MPEG image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
1736 (no more green stripe at the bottom)
1737 - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
1738 - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
1739 - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
1740 if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
1741 else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
1742 - mplayer.c: video output moved out from AVI/MPG init sections and
1743 now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
1746 + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
1747 k => kill/restart the MPEG codec process (for testing)
1748 - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
1749 to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
1750 - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
1751 - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
1752 0 = none (unused yet)
1754 2 = Win32/VfW video codec
1755 - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
1756 #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
1757 #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
1759 - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both AVI & MPEG)
1760 - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (DivX audio and ms-adpcm)
1761 can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
1762 Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
1763 codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/MP3 allows it).
1764 - AVI: audio delay correction if seeking inside the chunk is not possible
1768 MPlayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24, 2000 "Xmas edition"
1769 MPEG signal & EOF fixes
1770 - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
1771 - `term destroys if mplayer (MPG) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
1772 added sighandler to the 3rd process (MPEG codec) to avoid sig. recursion
1773 - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
1774 - MPEG EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
1775 - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
1776 (contains module number where the segfault occurred)
1777 - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
1778 (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
1782 MPlayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22, 2000
1784 - AVI image flipping reworked:
1785 - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down
1786 - image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules
1787 - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
1788 - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from XAnim source)
1793 test release, small fixes
1794 - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
1795 - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
1796 [thanks to David Whysong]
1801 MPlayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10, 2000
1802 test release, verbose mode, new docs
1803 - new option: -v = increment verbosity level
1804 (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
1805 - default level: 0, only some informal output
1806 - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, AVI header, function values
1807 - player debug: 2, print AVI indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
1808 - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
1809 to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level 3)
1810 - bitrate calculation for AVI files
1811 - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
1812 - TVout directory added (only the scripts)
1816 MPlayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8, 2000
1817 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
1818 - AVI: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
1819 - AVI: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
1820 work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
1821 - AVI: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
1822 (disable with -nobps if you want)
1823 - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
1824 - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
1828 MPlayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5, 2000
1829 test release, players merged!!!
1830 - avip and mpegp have been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'
1831 - file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other)
1832 - no redundant code (common code for common jobs)
1833 - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
1834 - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
1835 - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
1836 - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
1837 - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
1838 if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
1839 image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
1841 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
1842 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
1843 [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
1844 - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
1848 MPlayer v0.09: Dec 5, 2000
1849 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
1850 - version changed in the files
1855 MPlayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3, 2000
1856 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
1857 - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
1858 - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting in near-perfect seeking now!
1859 current method calculates absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
1861 - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
1862 - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
1863 I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
1869 - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
1870 Walken told me that standard MPG/VOB streams must NOT use framerate
1871 and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
1872 - CRC support to mp3lib's MPEG audio layer-2 decoder
1873 thanks for bug report & test file to Samson
1877 MPlayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1, 2000
1879 - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
1880 - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and
1881 glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code)
1882 [thanks to Christian Birchinger]
1886 MPlayer v0.08: Nov 27, 2000
1887 Index support, AVI seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
1888 - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
1889 - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
1890 it segfaults if compiled optimized (it does some hacks with
1891 pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
1892 - added new tool called aviparse (read and check AVI file structure)
1893 - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
1894 - termcap usage is optional (for those Debian users without termcap)
1895 - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
1896 - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)
1897 - sse is called 'sse' again
1898 - 'flags' field renamed to 'features'
1899 - Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED
1900 - AVI seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented
1901 no PTS resync after seek yet.
1902 - default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver
1903 new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
1907 MPlayer v0.07: Nov 21, 2000
1909 - Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot)
1910 - Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :)
1911 - Updated DOCS/INSTALL
1915 MPlayer v0.06: Nov 20, 2000
1916 Better codec selection
1917 - AVI audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file,
1918 loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this
1919 - YUV support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle YUV properly
1920 YUV works fine with DivX, MPEG4, cvid, and upside-down iv50
1921 - DOCS/INSTALL updated
1922 - DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added
1926 MPlayer v0.05: Nov 18, 2000
1927 Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player
1928 - code merged with mpegplayer, new Makefile, some small modifications
1929 - docs updated and moved to DOCS
1933 MPlayer v0.04: Nov 17, 2000
1934 YUV (YUY2) support with DivX 3.11 DLL, some code cleanup, preview-release
1938 MPlayer v0.03: Nov 14, 2000
1942 MPlayer v0.01: Nov 11, 2000
1943 first preview version based on new MPEGplayer's codebase.
1944 it contains the Win32 loader from avifile, and can decode DivX 3.11 video.
1948 mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
1949 MPEG codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
1950 Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
1951 image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
1955 mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
1956 MPEG codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was great
1957 stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
1961 mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
1962 The first try, hacked together in half an hour! I've used libmpeg3
1963 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
1964 image quality and speed problems with it.
