1062 exit with message "recompile mplayer with #undef HAVE_AUDIO_SELECT"...
1063 - syncfb driver added to the source tree, under drivers/
1064 (it's very similar to mga_vid, but has syncronization to screen and
1065 de-interlace features)
1066 - draw_slice in syncfb finished for G400 cards (plays mpeg 1/2, opendivx)
1067 (de-interlacing has been disabled, because it's buggy now)

1104 - libvo: added uninit() function to drivers
1105 - libvo: fork()'ed X11 eventhandler for x11 and xmga drivers [me & Pontscho]
1106 (gl and xv version is coming soon!)
1107 - libvo: sdl driver now closes SDL at QUIT...
1108 - small english fixes (docs & messages) [Balazs Tibor]

1111 fixes
1112 - asf "missing video stream" fixed (stream id & 0x7F) [Christoph H. Lampert]
1113 - added GL-test directory, it contains source and compiler script of a
1114 very simple open-gl texture updating (glTexSubImage) test program.
1115 if it runs well, then mplayer -o gl should work too.
1116 it works on G400+Utah-GLX, but segfaults in the G400 driver of X 4.0.2/DRI.
1117 try it with different cards/drivers, and please report me the results.
1118 - benchmarking in gltest.c: calculate fps and process times
1119 - .asf seeking v0.01-pre0.1 :)
1121 mplayer v0.11-pre16: Feb 4 2001
1122 ACM fixed
1123 - Win32/ACM audio codec fixed (most important for asf with divx audio):
1124 There was an output buffer size problem with the Win32/ACM audio codec
1125 at low bitrates (usually used for .asf files with divx audio)
1126 Input and output buffer sizes are now queryed, problem solved :)
1127 - SDL support compiling hint by Michael Durller added to the FAQ
1128 - opendivx support in .asf files [Gérard Lantau]
1129 - ./configure & Makefiles patch by Aaron Hope applied.
1130 (adds --with-win32libdir and fixes --with-x11libdir)

1140 small fixes, asf sync v0.1 :)
1141 - version number incremented :)))
1142 - libvo / Xv driver swapped Red-Blue fixed
1143 - asf timestamps implemented - now asf A-V should be in sync if you
1144 specify the correct fps at commandline (-fps), +-1 fps allowed...
1145 [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from asf headers :(((]
1146 - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
1147 if you see many warning! messages playing an .asf file, then contact
1148 me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
1149 Don't forget: there is no public doc about the .asf file format, so
1150 everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
1151 we never will have working .asf player...
1152 - asf fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...
1154 mplayer v0.11-pre13: Jan 31 2001
1155 libvo changes, mpeg bitrate, vcd fix, asf grouping
1156 - libvo: draw_slice() interface changed, now it has src stride[3] and
1157 destination rect dimension (w,h,x,y)
1158 It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
1159 - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
1160 -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
1161 - mpeg bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
1162 then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
1163 -> fixed seeking for those mpegs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
1164 - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
1165 - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
1166 [bugreport: Kang Sun]
1167 - asf_parser: grouping implemented! [test file provided by Gabucino :))]
1169 mplayer v0.11-pre12: Jan 30 2001

1174 if fails (useful for people with old gcc and new cpu :))
1175 - removed -fomit-frame-pointer from OPTFLAGS at config.mak
1176 - version number incremented [Gabucino]
1177 - odivx encoder fix: allow long (longer than xxxx.avi) destination filenames

1179 - avi writer - overwrite disabled (exits with error message if destination
1180 file already exists...) [Gabucino]
1181 - use -divxq to set encoding bitrate (in bits (no kbits!) default: 780000)
1182 - no audio decoding if -encode option is used
1183 - audio streaming disabled if -nosound specified (setting audio_id to -2)
1184 - fast Mpeg-ES detection (doesn't read the whole Mpeg-PS file)
1185 - compile-time option to disable using soundcard driver's select()
1186 (requires for some people with buggy/pre-alpha/etc sound driver...)
1188 mplayer v0.11-pre11: Jan 29 2001
1189 streaming fixes, asf support pre, indeo5 fix
1190 - asf/asfinfo.c improved: now it dumps streams to files - need testing!
1191 (it's ready to be converted to asf demuxer and intergated into MPlayer)
1192 - stream.c / stream_reset() fix: now it really seek back to 0 position!
1193 - .asf file format detection added (no .asf reading yet!!!)
1194 - .asf demultiplexer added, changes in demuxer.c to handle fragmented packets
1195 > it plays .asf video well, but still has problems with divx/wma audio. :(((
1196 - indeo 5 playing fixed (removed ICDECOMPRESS_UPDATE from flags)
1197 - xmga resizing problems with some window managers, so default order is
1198 changed xmga,xma... to mga,xmga,...
1199 - found gcc bug: compiling MPlayer with flags
1200 OPTFLAGS=-O -g -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math
1201 cause image sizes negating -> mga_vid kernel driver Oops... :(((
1202 - runaway.bride.sample.avi seeking segfault discovered: AC3 resync fails :(
1203 - improved signal handling: module name is now printed. audio_resync added.
1204 - RGB opendivx encoding implemented, now AVI->opendivx is possible.
1206 mplayer v0.11-pre10: Jan 22 2001
1207 OpenDivX encoding, streaming fixes, avi seek fixes
1208 - new libvo driver: odivx (OpenDivX File Writer)
1209 - AVI file writting support, new option: -encode filename
1210 to encode an mpeg/vob/vcd to opendivx:

1212 (sound encoding/copy is not yet supported)
1213 - libvo: default driver priority changed to: xmga,mga,syncfb,3dfx,xv,x11,gl
1214 - avi writer: index support
1215 - small fixes in avi writer to be compliant (adjusted chunk/list lengths)
1216 - demuxer.c: stream buffering fixes:
1217 - missing {} in mplayer.c occuring audio reads when has_audio=0
1218 - reordered packet reader and pack count checks -> no more unwanted EOF
1219 - added 4MB buffer memory usage limit to demuxed streams

1224 - FAQ added
1226 ** Now we are ready with planned features & urgent fixes, **
1227 ** it's time to final testing and then the 0.11 release!! **
1229 mplayer v0.11-pre9: Jan 18 2001
1230 OpenDivX fixes,speedup
1231 - solved OpenDivX width problem (stride=width+(Quality?0:64))
1232 now -divxq 0 works, and 0 is the default
1233 - libvo call moved out from my_convert_yuv() so it can be measured (cpu %)
1234 - IDCT code ported from libmpeg2 -> much faster OpenDivX decoding
1236 mplayer v0.11-pre8: Jan 18 2001
1237 SDL fixes, OpenDivX support
1238 - added -I/usr/X11R6/include to libvo CFLAGS
1239 - (removed later: applied libvo SDL driver fixes by Jeffrey Boser)
1240 - OpenDivX support, initial hack, maybe not work for you...
1241 (I need testfiles, I have just only one)
1242 use -divxq option to adjust quality (1..29 works), 1=default
1244 mplayer v0.11-pre7: Jan 14 2001
1245 SDL support
1246 - ported SDL driver from mpeg2dec/libvo (currect CVS)
1247 (it's slower than internal X11 driver, but supports software scaling!)
1248 - fixed SDL driver to support -fs and pass keyboard events
1249 - SDL driver changed to support YV12 and YUY2 formats instead of IYUV
1250 (now works with DivX files too)
1251 - 'q' (Quit) disabled in SDL fullscreen mode (because it's impossible
1252 to restore screen before exiting so it gets unusable state now)
1254 mplayer v0.11-pre6: Jan 14 2001
1255 audio fix
1256 - fixed video_out_xv.c compiling problems [bugreport: Kalle Mellerup]
1257 - modified audio playing: always keep buffer (both internal and card's)
1258 filled using select() -> -alsa audio delays should be fixed.
1259 - updated DOCS/AUTHORS and DOCS/README
1261 mplayer v0.11-pre5: Jan 12 2001
1262 xmmp audio support, applied Pontscho's libvo patch
1263 - xmmp audio driver support by Arthur Kleer
1264 - new video_out driver by Pontscho: xmga (Matrox G200/G400 only!)
1265 It does same under X 3.3.x what Xv extension does under X 4.0.x!
1266 (you will have a moveable/resizeable window but see an YUV video
1267 overlay in it using color keying)
1268 - added keyboard event support in X11 windows [Pontscho]
1269 (using mplayer_[put|get]_key() in codecctrl.c)
1271 mplayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6 2001
1272 x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
1273 - version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
1274 - inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
1275 - depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
1276 make difference between 15 and 16bpp)
1277 - x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
1278 - yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
1279 conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
1280 - avi playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
1281 - avi playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
1282 - avi playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
1283 - libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs too!!! fixed...
1284 - all x11 modes tested (and mpeg/24bpp byteorder fixed):
1285 MPEG: AVI/VfW:
1286 15bpp C convert memcpy
1287 16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
1288 24bpp C convert memcpy
1289 32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
1290 => now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
1292 mplayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5 2001
1293 mpeg fixes, fullscreen support
1294 - vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
1295 yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
1296 fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bugreport: Gabucino]
1297 - Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
1298 Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
1299 including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
1300 - simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0 too?) users
1301 - homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
1303 mplayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4 2001
1304 better user messages, mp3 codec selection, demuxer changes
1305 - w32codec.zip restored at the FTP site (somehow it damaged...)
1306 - added version.h, and used its content everywhere
1307 - 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
1308 setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
1309 - some more messages added if verbose>=1
1310 - demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
1311 'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
1312 - adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
1313 ./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3DNow! [idea: Gabucino]
1314 - automatic fallback to mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
1316 mplayer v0.11-pre1:
1317 AVI sync fixes
1318 - AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
1319 inside the chunk, so divx audio works without big delays!!!
1320 - AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
1321 so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
1322 - A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
1323 Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
1324 - fixed AVI sync in -bps mode too! :) (perfect except that Desperado avi)
1326 mplayer v0.10: Jan 1 2001 "The new year" release!
1327 - testing
1328 - docs changed
1329 - it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
1330 - release!!!
1332 mplayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
1333 - libvo: x11/xv driver separated to x11 and xv drivers
1334 - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
1335 - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
1336 opengl though that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
1338 mplayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31 2000
1339 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
1340 - libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
1341 - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
1342 - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
1343 => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
1344 - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
1345 when has to display it
1346 - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with mpeg2 streams
1347 (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
1348 - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
1349 -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
1350 -> keep information of the header changes (after init)
1351 - mpeg image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
1352 (no more green strip at the bottom)
1353 - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
1354 - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
1355 - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
1356 if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
1357 else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
1358 - mplayer.c: video output moved out from avi/mpg init sections and
1359 now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
1360 - new keys:
1361 ESC => quit
1362 + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
1363 k => kill/restart the mpeg codec process (for testing)
1364 - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
1365 to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
1366 - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
1367 - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
1368 0 = none (unused yet)
1369 1 = mpeg 1/2 video
1370 2 = win32/VfW video codec
1371 - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
1372 #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
1373 #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
1374 - help updated
1375 - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both avi & mpeg)
1376 - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (divx audio and ms-adpcm)
1377 can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
1378 Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
1379 codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/mp3 allows it).
1380 - AVI: audio delay correction if can't seek inside the chunk
1382 mplayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24 2000 "Xmas edition"
1383 mpeg signal & EOF fixes
1384 - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
1385 - `term destroys if mplayer (mpg) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
1386 added sighandler to the 3rd process (mpeg codec) to avoid sig. recursion
1387 - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
1388 - mpeg EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
1389 - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
1390 (contains module number where the segfault occured)
1391 - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
1392 (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
1394 mplayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22 2000
1395 flipping fixed
1396 - AVI image flipping reworked:
1397 - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down
1398 - image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules
1399 - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
1400 - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from xanim source)
1402 mplayer v0.10-pre4: ???
1403 test release, small fixes
1404 - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
1405 - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
1406 [thanks to David Whysong]
1407 - libmpeg2 upgraded
1409 mplayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10 2000
1410 test release, verbose mode, new docs
1411 - new option: -v = increment verbose level
1412 (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
1413 - default level: 0, only some informal output
1414 - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, avi header, function values
1415 - player debug: 2, print avi indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
1416 - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
1417 to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level-3)
1418 - bitrate calculation for AVI files
1419 - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
1420 - TVout directory added (only the scripts)
1422 mplayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8 2000
1423 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
1424 - avi: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
1425 - avi: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
1426 work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
1427 - avi: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
1428 (disable with -nobps if you want)
1429 - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
1430 - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
1432 mplayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5 2000
1433 test release, players merged!!!
1434 - avip and mpegp has been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'
1435 - file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other)
1436 - no redundant code (common code for common jobs)
1437 - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
1438 - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
1439 - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
1440 - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
1441 - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
1442 if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
1443 image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
1444 For example:
1445 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
1446 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
1447 [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
1448 - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
1450 mplayer v0.09: Dec 5 2000
1451 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
1452 - version changed in the files
1453 - docs updated
1455 mplayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3 2000
1456 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
1457 - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
1458 - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting near-perfect seeking now!
1459 current method calc absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
1460 doesn't work yet...
1461 - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
1462 - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
1463 I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
1465 mplayer v0.09-pre2:
1466 bugfix test-release
1467 - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
1468 Walken told me that standard mpg/vob streams must NOT use framerate
1469 and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
1470 - CRC support to mp3lib's mpeg audio layer-2 decoder
1471 thanks for bugreport & testfile to Samson
1473 mplayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1 2000
1474 bugfix test-release
1475 - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
1476 - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and
1477 glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code)
1478 [thanks for Christian Birchinger]
1480 mplayer v0.08: Nov 27 2000
1481 Index support, avi seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
1482 - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
1483 - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
1484 it segfaults if compile optimized code (it does some hacks with
1485 pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
1486 - added new tool called aviparse (read and check avi file structure)
1487 - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
1488 - termcap usage is optional (for those debian users without termcap)
1489 - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
1490 - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)
1491 - sse is called 'sse' again
1492 - 'flags' field renamed to 'features'
1493 - Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED
1494 - avi seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented
1495 no PTS resync after seek yet.
1496 - default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver
1497 new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
1499 mplayer v0.07: Nov 21 2000
1500 Easier compile
1501 - Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot)
1502 - Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :)
1503 - Updated DOCS/INSTALL
1505 mplayer v0.06: Nov 20 2000
1506 Better codec selection
1507 - avi audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file,
1508 loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this
1509 - yuv support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle yuv properly
1510 yuv works fine with divx, mpeg4, cvid, and upside-down iv50
1511 - DOCS/INSTALL updated
1512 - DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added
1514 mplayer v0.05: Nov 18 2000
1515 Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player
1516 - code merged with mpegplayer, new Makefile, some small modifications
1517 - docs updated and moved to DOCS
1519 mplayer v0.04: Nov 17 2000
1520 YUV (yuy2) support with divx 3.11 dll, some code cleanup, preview-release
1522 mplayer v0.03: Nov 14 2000
1524 mplayer v0.01: Nov 11 2000
1525 first preview version based on new MPEGplayer's codebase.
1526 it contains the win32 loader from avifile, and can decode divx 3.11 video.
1528 mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
1529 Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
1530 Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
1531 image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
1533 mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
1534 Mpeg codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was a great
1535 stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
1537 mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
1538 The first try, hacked together in a half hour! I've used libmpeg3
1539 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
1540 image quality and speed problems with it.
