2518 - ASF "missing video stream" fixed (stream id & 0x7F) [Christoph H. Lampert]
2519 - added GL-test directory, it contains source and compiler script of a
2520 very simple open-gl texture updating (glTexSubImage) test program.
2521 if it runs well, then mplayer -o gl should work, too.
2522 it works on G400+Utah-GLX, but segfaults in the G400 driver of X 4.0.2/DRI.
2523 try it with different cards/drivers, and please report me the results.
2524 - benchmarking in gltest.c: calculate fps and process times
2525 - ASF seeking v0.01-pre0.1 :)
2529 MPlayer v0.11-pre16: Feb 4, 2001

2532 There was an output buffer size problem with the Win32/ACM audio codec
2533 at low bitrates (usually used for ASF files with DivX audio)
2534 Input and output buffer sizes are now queryed, problem solved :)

2552 small fixes, ASF sync v0.1 :)
2553 - version number incremented :)))
2554 - libvo / Xv driver swapped red-blue fixed
2555 - ASF timestamps implemented - now ASF A-V should be in sync if you
2556 specify the correct fps at commandline (-fps), +-1 fps allowed...
2557 [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from ASF headers :(((]
2558 - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
2559 if you see many warning! messages playing an ASF file, then contact
2560 me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
2561 Don't forget: there is no public doc about the ASF file format, so
2562 everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
2563 we will never have a working ASF player...
2564 - ASF fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...
2568 MPlayer v0.11-pre13: Jan 31, 2001
2569 libvo changes, MPEG bitrate, VCD fix, ASF grouping
2570 - libvo: draw_slice() interface changed, now it has src stride[3] and
2571 destination rect dimension (w,h,x,y)
2572 It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
2573 - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
2574 -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
2575 - MPEG bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
2576 then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
2577 -> fixed seeking for those MPEGs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
2578 - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
2579 - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
2580 [bugreport: Kang Sun]
2581 - asf_parser: grouping implemented! [test file provided by Gabucino :))]

2587 - ./configure: use /tmp/main$$.c instead of /tmp.main.c, and
2588 remove file after tests [SaPe]
2589 - ./configure: trying the gcc optimize options and fall back on 'pentium'
2590 if it fails (useful for people with old gcc and new CPU :))
2591 - removed -fomit-frame-pointer from OPTFLAGS at config.mak
2592 - version number incremented [Gabucino]

2596 file already exists...) [Gabucino]
2597 - use -divxq to set encoding bitrate (in bits (not kbits!) default: 780000)
2598 - no audio decoding if -encode option is used
2599 - audio streaming disabled if -nosound specified (setting audio_id to -2)
2600 - fast MPEG-ES detection (doesn't read the whole MPEG-PS file)
2601 - compile-time option to disable using soundcard driver's select()
2602 (required for some people with buggy/pre-alpha/etc sound driver...)
2606 MPlayer v0.11-pre11: Jan 29, 2001
2607 streaming fixes, ASF support pre, indeo5 fix
2608 - asf/asfinfo.c improved: now dumps streams to files - needs testing!

2611 - ASF file format detection added (no ASF reading yet!!!)
2612 - ASF demultiplexer added, changes in demuxer.c to handle fragmented packets
2613 > it plays ASF video well, but still has problems with DivX/WMA audio. :(((

2628 - new libvo driver: odivx (OpenDivX File Writer)
2629 - AVI file writing support, new option: -encode filename
2630 to encode an MPEG/VOB/VCD to opendivx:
2631 mplayer file1.mpg -encode file2.avi -o odivx -nosound
2632 (sound encoding/copying is not yet supported)
2633 - libvo: default driver priority changed to: xmga,mga,syncfb,3dfx,xv,x11,gl
2634 - AVI writer: index support
2635 - small fixes in AVI writer to be compliant (adjusted chunk/list lengths)

2637 - missing {} in mplayer.c occurring audio reads when has_audio=0
2638 - reordered packet reader and pack count checks -> no more unwanted EOF
2639 - added 4MB buffer memory usage limit to demuxed streams
2640 - CPU flags in ./configure changed:

2665 (I need testfiles, I have only one)
2666 use -divxq option to adjust quality (1..29 works), 1=default
2670 MPlayer v0.11-pre7: Jan 14, 2001
2672 - ported SDL driver from mpeg2dec/libvo (current CVS)
2673 (it's slower than internal X11 driver, but supports software scaling!)
2674 - fixed SDL driver to support -fs and pass keyboard events
2675 - SDL driver changed to support YV12 and YUY2 formats instead of IYUV
2676 (now works with DivX files, too)
2677 - 'q' (Quit) disabled in SDL fullscreen mode (because it's impossible
2678 to restore screen before exiting so it gets into an unusable state now)
2682 MPlayer v0.11-pre6: Jan 14, 2001
2684 - fixed video_out_xv.c compilation problems [bugreport: Kalle Mellerup]
2685 - modified audio playing: always keep buffer (both internal and card's)

2694 - new video_out driver by Pontscho: xmga (Matrox G200/G400 only!)
2695 It does same under X 3.3.x what Xv extension does under X 4.0.x!
2696 (you will have a moveable/resizeable window but see a YUV video
2697 overlay in it using color keying)
2698 - added keyboard event support in X11 windows [Pontscho]
2699 (using mplayer_[put|get]_key() in codecctrl.c)
2703 MPlayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6, 2001
2704 x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
2705 - version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
2706 - inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
2707 - depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
2708 differenciate between 15 and 16bpp)
2709 - x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
2710 - yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
2711 conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
2712 - AVI playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
2713 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
2714 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
2715 - libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs, too!!! fixed...
2716 - all x11 modes tested (and MPEG/24bpp byteorder fixed):
2718 15bpp C convert memcpy
2719 16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
2720 24bpp C convert memcpy
2721 32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
2722 => now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
2726 MPlayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5, 2001
2727 MPEG fixes, fullscreen support
2728 - vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
2729 yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
2730 fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bug report: Gabucino]
2731 - Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
2732 Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
2733 including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
2734 - simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0, too?) users
2735 - homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
2739 MPlayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4, 2001

2742 - added version.h, and used its content everywhere
2743 - 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
2744 setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
2745 - some more messages added if verbose>=1
2746 - demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
2747 'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
2748 - adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
2749 ./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3DNow! [idea: Gabucino]
2750 - automatic fall back on mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
2756 - AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
2757 inside the chunk, so DivX audio works without big delays!!!
2758 - AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
2759 so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
2760 - A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
2761 Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
2762 - fixed AVI sync in -bps mode, too! :) (perfect except that Desperado AVI)
2766 MPlayer v0.10: Jan 1, 2001 "The new year" release!
2769 - it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
2774 MPlayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
2775 - libvo: x11/xv driver split into x11 and xv drivers
2776 - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
2777 - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
2778 OpenGL thought that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
2782 MPlayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31, 2000
2783 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
2784 - libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
2785 - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
2786 - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
2787 => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
2788 - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
2790 - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with MPEG-2 streams
2791 (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
2792 - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
2793 -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
2794 -> keep information of the header changes (after init)
2795 - MPEG image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
2796 (no more green stripe at the bottom)
2797 - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
2798 - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
2799 - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
2800 if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
2801 else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
2802 - mplayer.c: video output moved out from AVI/MPG init sections and
2803 now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
2806 + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
2807 k => kill/restart the MPEG codec process (for testing)
2808 - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
2809 to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
2810 - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
2811 - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
2812 0 = none (unused yet)
2814 2 = Win32/VfW video codec
2815 - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
2816 #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
2817 #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
2819 - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both AVI & MPEG)
2820 - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (DivX audio and ms-adpcm)
2821 can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
2822 Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
2823 codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/MP3 allows it).
2824 - AVI: audio delay correction if seeking inside the chunk is not possible
2828 MPlayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24, 2000 "Xmas edition"
2829 MPEG signal & EOF fixes
2830 - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
2831 - `term destroys if mplayer (MPG) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
2832 added sighandler to the 3rd process (MPEG codec) to avoid sig. recursion
2833 - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
2834 - MPEG EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
2835 - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
2836 (contains module number where the segfault occurred)
2837 - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
2838 (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
2842 MPlayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22, 2000
2844 - AVI image flipping reworked:
2845 - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down
2846 - image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules
2847 - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
2848 - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from XAnim source)
2853 test release, small fixes
2854 - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
2855 - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
2856 [thanks to David Whysong]
2861 MPlayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10, 2000
2862 test release, verbose mode, new docs
2863 - new option: -v = increment verbosity level
2864 (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
2865 - default level: 0, only some informal output
2866 - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, AVI header, function values
2867 - player debug: 2, print AVI indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
2868 - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
2869 to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level 3)
2870 - bitrate calculation for AVI files
2871 - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
2872 - TVout directory added (only the scripts)
2876 MPlayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8, 2000
2877 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
2878 - AVI: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
2879 - AVI: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
2880 work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
2881 - AVI: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
2882 (disable with -nobps if you want)
2883 - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
2884 - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
2888 MPlayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5, 2000
2889 test release, players merged!!!
2890 - avip and mpegp have been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'
2891 - file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other)
2892 - no redundant code (common code for common jobs)
2893 - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
2894 - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
2895 - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
2896 - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
2897 - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
2898 if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
2899 image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
2901 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
2902 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
2903 [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
2904 - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
2908 MPlayer v0.09: Dec 5, 2000
2909 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
2910 - version changed in the files
2915 MPlayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3, 2000
2916 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
2917 - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
2918 - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting in near-perfect seeking now!
2919 current method calculates absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
2921 - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
2922 - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
2923 I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
2929 - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
2930 Walken told me that standard MPG/VOB streams must NOT use framerate
2931 and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
2932 - CRC support to mp3lib's MPEG audio layer-2 decoder
2933 thanks for bug report & test file to Samson
2937 MPlayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1, 2000
2939 - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
2940 - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and
2941 glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code)
2942 [thanks to Christian Birchinger]
2946 MPlayer v0.08: Nov 27, 2000
2947 Index support, AVI seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
2948 - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
2949 - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
2950 it segfaults if compiled optimized (it does some hacks with
2951 pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
2952 - added new tool called aviparse (read and check AVI file structure)
2953 - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
2954 - termcap usage is optional (for those Debian users without termcap)
2955 - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
2956 - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)
2957 - sse is called 'sse' again
2958 - 'flags' field renamed to 'features'
2959 - Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED
2960 - AVI seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented
2961 no PTS resync after seek yet.
2962 - default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver
2963 new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
2967 MPlayer v0.07: Nov 21, 2000
2969 - Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot)
2970 - Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :)
2971 - Updated DOCS/INSTALL
2975 MPlayer v0.06: Nov 20, 2000
2976 Better codec selection
2977 - AVI audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file,
2978 loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this
2979 - YUV support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle YUV properly
2980 YUV works fine with DivX, MPEG-4, cvid, and upside-down iv50
2981 - DOCS/INSTALL updated
2982 - DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added
2986 MPlayer v0.05: Nov 18, 2000
2987 Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player
2988 - code merged with mpegplayer, new Makefile, some small modifications
2989 - docs updated and moved to DOCS
2993 MPlayer v0.04: Nov 17, 2000
2994 YUV (YUY2) support with DivX 3.11 DLL, some code cleanup, preview-release
2998 MPlayer v0.03: Nov 14, 2000
3002 MPlayer v0.01: Nov 11, 2000
3003 first preview version based on new MPEGplayer's codebase.
3004 it contains the Win32 loader from avifile, and can decode DivX 3.11 video.
3008 mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
3009 MPEG codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
3010 Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
3011 image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
3015 mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
3016 MPEG codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was great
3017 stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
3021 mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
3022 The first try, hacked together in half an hour! I've used libmpeg3
3023 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
3024 image quality and speed problems with it.
