2259 (but still can be overriden by -aid or -vid) [Christoph H. Lampert]
2260 - native MS-GSM audio codec ported from avifile source (-afm 6)
2261 [thanks for the testfile to Christoph H. Lampert]
2262 - README updated (input & codec lists)
2263 - implemented ASF audio descrambling [Dirk Vornheder & Einon]
2264 -> that weird_al_yankovic ASF is not so weird now :)
2265 - AUTHORS file changed
2269 MPlayer v0.11-pre18: Feb 7, 2001
2271 - skip broken ASF fragments (for better seeking)
2272 - seeking code cleanup in sources (now it's in a switch(){})
2273 - opendivx encoding bitrate option changed from -divxq to -br
2274 (for the DivX -> DivX re-encoding)
2275 - TO DO section moved to file TODO
2276 - applied ./configure and Makefile changes patch from LGB
2277 - libvo function changes by Pontscho: x11 (with -fs), xmga (bugfixed!)
2278 - libvo: driver sources renamed from video_out_*.c -> vo_*.c
2279 - libvo: added uninit() function to drivers
2280 - libvo: fork()'ed X11 eventhandler for x11 and xmga drivers [me & Pontscho]
2281 (gl and xv version is coming soon!)
2282 - libvo: sdl driver now closes SDL at QUIT...
2283 - small English fixes (docs & messages) [Balazs Tibor]
2287 MPlayer v0.11-pre17: Feb 4, 2001
2289 - ASF "missing video stream" fixed (stream id & 0x7F) [Christoph H. Lampert]
2290 - added GL-test directory, it contains source and compiler script of a
2291 very simple open-gl texture updating (glTexSubImage) test program.
2292 if it runs well, then mplayer -o gl should work, too.
2293 it works on G400+Utah-GLX, but segfaults in the G400 driver of X 4.0.2/DRI.
2294 try it with different cards/drivers, and please report me the results.
2295 - benchmarking in gltest.c: calculate fps and process times
2296 - ASF seeking v0.01-pre0.1 :)
2300 MPlayer v0.11-pre16: Feb 4, 2001
2302 - Win32/ACM audio codec fixed (most important for ASF with DivX audio):
2303 There was an output buffer size problem with the Win32/ACM audio codec
2304 at low bitrates (usually used for ASF files with DivX audio)
2305 Input and output buffer sizes are now queryed, problem solved :)
2306 - SDL support compiling hint by Michael Durller added to the FAQ
2307 - opendivx support in ASF files [Gérard Lantau]
2308 - ./configure & Makefiles patch by Aaron Hope applied.
2309 (adds --with-win32libdir and fixes --with-x11libdir)
2310 - ./configure fixed, now it defaults to /usr/lib/win32 if detection failed
2314 MPlayer v0.11-pre15: Feb 2, 2001
2316 - ASF parser: now supports other than 0x5D segments [Dirk Vornheder]
2317 - new ASF PTS reading: sync works now, including fps...
2318 (-fps no longer required!) [thanks again to Eugene Kuznetsov for docs!]
2322 MPlayer v0.11-pre14: Feb 1, 2001
2323 small fixes, ASF sync v0.1 :)
2324 - version number incremented :)))
2325 - libvo / Xv driver swapped red-blue fixed
2326 - ASF timestamps implemented - now ASF A-V should be in sync if you
2327 specify the correct fps at commandline (-fps), +-1 fps allowed...
2328 [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from ASF headers :(((]
2329 - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
2330 if you see many warning! messages playing an ASF file, then contact
2331 me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
2332 Don't forget: there is no public doc about the ASF file format, so
2333 everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
2334 we will never have a working ASF player...
2335 - ASF fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...
2339 MPlayer v0.11-pre13: Jan 31, 2001
2340 libvo changes, MPEG bitrate, VCD fix, ASF grouping
2341 - libvo: draw_slice() interface changed, now it has src stride[3] and
2342 destination rect dimension (w,h,x,y)
2343 It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
2344 - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
2345 -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
2346 - MPEG bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
2347 then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
2348 -> fixed seeking for those MPEGs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
2349 - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
2350 - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
2351 [bugreport: Kang Sun]
2352 - asf_parser: grouping implemented! [test file provided by Gabucino :))]
2356 MPlayer v0.11-pre12: Jan 30, 2001
2357 ./configure fixes, improved odivx-encoding, streaming fixes
2358 - ./configure: use /tmp/main$$.c instead of /tmp.main.c, and
2359 remove file after tests [SaPe]
2360 - ./configure: trying the gcc optimize options and fall back on 'pentium'
2361 if it fails (useful for people with old gcc and new CPU :))
2362 - removed -fomit-frame-pointer from OPTFLAGS at config.mak
2363 - version number incremented [Gabucino]
2364 - odivx encoder fix: allow long (longer than xxxx.avi) destination filenames
2365 (sizeof() changed to strlen()...) [Gabucino]
2366 - AVI writer - overwrite disabled (exits with error message if destination
2367 file already exists...) [Gabucino]
2368 - use -divxq to set encoding bitrate (in bits (not kbits!) default: 780000)
2369 - no audio decoding if -encode option is used
2370 - audio streaming disabled if -nosound specified (setting audio_id to -2)
2371 - fast MPEG-ES detection (doesn't read the whole MPEG-PS file)
2372 - compile-time option to disable using soundcard driver's select()
2373 (required for some people with buggy/pre-alpha/etc sound driver...)
2377 MPlayer v0.11-pre11: Jan 29, 2001
2378 streaming fixes, ASF support pre, indeo5 fix
2379 - asf/asfinfo.c improved: now dumps streams to files - needs testing!
2380 (it's ready to be converted to ASF demuxer and integrated into MPlayer)
2381 - stream.c / stream_reset() fix: now really seeks back to position 0!
2382 - ASF file format detection added (no ASF reading yet!!!)
2383 - ASF demultiplexer added, changes in demuxer.c to handle fragmented packets
2384 > it plays ASF video well, but still has problems with DivX/WMA audio. :(((
2385 - indeo 5 playing fixed (removed ICDECOMPRESS_UPDATE from flags)
2386 - xmga resizing problems with some window managers, so default order is
2387 changed xmga,xma... to mga,xmga,...
2388 - found gcc bug: compiling MPlayer with flags
2389 OPTFLAGS=-O -g -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math
2390 causes image sizes negating -> mga_vid kernel driver Oops... :(((
2391 - runaway.bride.sample.avi seeking segfault discovered: AC3 resync fails :(
2392 - improved signal handling: module name is now printed. audio_resync added.
2393 - RGB opendivx encoding implemented, now AVI->opendivx is possible.
2396 MPlayer v0.11-pre10: Jan 22, 2001
2397 OpenDivX encoding, streaming fixes, AVI seek fixes
2398 - new libvo driver: odivx (OpenDivX File Writer)
2399 - AVI file writing support, new option: -encode filename
2400 to encode an MPEG/VOB/VCD to opendivx:
2401 mplayer file1.mpg -encode file2.avi -o odivx -nosound
2402 (sound encoding/copying is not yet supported)
2403 - libvo: default driver priority changed to: xmga,mga,syncfb,3dfx,xv,x11,gl
2404 - AVI writer: index support
2405 - small fixes in AVI writer to be compliant (adjusted chunk/list lengths)
2406 - demuxer.c: stream buffering fixes:
2407 - missing {} in mplayer.c occurring audio reads when has_audio=0
2408 - reordered packet reader and pack count checks -> no more unwanted EOF
2409 - added 4MB buffer memory usage limit to demuxed streams
2410 - CPU flags in ./configure changed:
2411 k7 -> k6 (current stable gcc doesn't support k7)
2412 386,486 -> i386,i486 [Balazs Tibor]
2413 - demux_avi: index check now accepts (raw.len+1)==idx.len [Balazs Tibor]
2416 ** Now we are done with planned features & urgent fixes, **
2417 ** it's time for final testing and then the 0.11 release!! **
2421 MPlayer v0.11-pre9: Jan 18, 2001
2422 OpenDivX fixes,speedup
2423 - solved OpenDivX width problem (stride=width+(Quality?0:64))
2424 now -divxq 0 works, and 0 is the default
2425 - libvo call moved out from my_convert_yuv() so it can be measured (CPU %)
2426 - IDCT code ported from libmpeg2 -> much faster OpenDivX decoding
2430 MPlayer v0.11-pre8: Jan 18, 2001
2431 SDL fixes, OpenDivX support
2432 - added -I/usr/X11R6/include to libvo CFLAGS
2433 - (removed later: applied libvo SDL driver fixes by Jeffrey Boser)
2434 - OpenDivX support, initial hack, maybe not working for you...
2435 (I need testfiles, I have only one)
2436 use -divxq option to adjust quality (1..29 works), 1=default
2440 MPlayer v0.11-pre7: Jan 14, 2001
2442 - ported SDL driver from mpeg2dec/libvo (current CVS)
2443 (it's slower than internal X11 driver, but supports software scaling!)
2444 - fixed SDL driver to support -fs and pass keyboard events
2445 - SDL driver changed to support YV12 and YUY2 formats instead of IYUV
2446 (now works with DivX files, too)
2447 - 'q' (Quit) disabled in SDL fullscreen mode (because it's impossible
2448 to restore screen before exiting so it gets into an unusable state now)
2452 MPlayer v0.11-pre6: Jan 14, 2001
2454 - fixed video_out_xv.c compilation problems [bugreport: Kalle Mellerup]
2455 - modified audio playing: always keep buffer (both internal and card's)
2456 filled using select() -> -alsa audio delays should be fixed.
2457 - updated DOCS/AUTHORS and DOCS/README
2461 MPlayer v0.11-pre5: Jan 12, 2001
2462 xmmp audio support, applied Pontscho's libvo patch
2463 - xmmp audio driver support by Arthur Kleer
2464 - new video_out driver by Pontscho: xmga (Matrox G200/G400 only!)
2465 It does same under X 3.3.x what Xv extension does under X 4.0.x!
2466 (you will have a moveable/resizeable window but see a YUV video
2467 overlay in it using color keying)
2468 - added keyboard event support in X11 windows [Pontscho]
2469 (using mplayer_[put|get]_key() in codecctrl.c)
2473 MPlayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6, 2001
2474 x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
2475 - version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
2476 - inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
2477 - depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
2478 differenciate between 15 and 16bpp)
2479 - x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
2480 - yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
2481 conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
2482 - AVI playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
2483 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
2484 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
2485 - libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs, too!!! fixed...
2486 - all x11 modes tested (and MPEG/24bpp byteorder fixed):
2488 15bpp C convert memcpy
2489 16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
2490 24bpp C convert memcpy
2491 32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
2492 => now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
2496 MPlayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5, 2001
2497 MPEG fixes, fullscreen support
2498 - vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
2499 yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
2500 fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bug report: Gabucino]
2501 - Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
2502 Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
2503 including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
2504 - simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0, too?) users
2505 - homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
2509 MPlayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4, 2001
2510 better user messages, MP3 codec selection, demuxer changes
2511 - w32codec.zip restored at the FTP site (somehow it got damaged...)
2512 - added version.h, and used its content everywhere
2513 - 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
2514 setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
2515 - some more messages added if verbose>=1
2516 - demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
2517 'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
2518 - adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
2519 ./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3DNow! [idea: Gabucino]
2520 - automatic fall back on mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
2526 - AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
2527 inside the chunk, so DivX audio works without big delays!!!
2528 - AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
2529 so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
2530 - A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
2531 Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
2532 - fixed AVI sync in -bps mode, too! :) (perfect except that Desperado AVI)
2536 MPlayer v0.10: Jan 1, 2001 "The new year" release!
2539 - it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
2544 MPlayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
2545 - libvo: x11/xv driver split into x11 and xv drivers
2546 - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
2547 - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
2548 OpenGL thought that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
2552 MPlayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31, 2000
2553 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
2554 - libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
2555 - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
2556 - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
2557 => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
2558 - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
2560 - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with MPEG-2 streams
2561 (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
2562 - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
2563 -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
2564 -> keep information of the header changes (after init)
2565 - MPEG image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
2566 (no more green stripe at the bottom)
2567 - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
2568 - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
2569 - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
2570 if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
2571 else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
2572 - mplayer.c: video output moved out from AVI/MPG init sections and
2573 now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
2576 + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
2577 k => kill/restart the MPEG codec process (for testing)
2578 - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
2579 to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
2580 - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
2581 - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
2582 0 = none (unused yet)
2584 2 = Win32/VfW video codec
2585 - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
2586 #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
2587 #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
2589 - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both AVI & MPEG)
2590 - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (DivX audio and ms-adpcm)
2591 can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
2592 Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
2593 codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/MP3 allows it).
2594 - AVI: audio delay correction if seeking inside the chunk is not possible
2598 MPlayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24, 2000 "Xmas edition"
2599 MPEG signal & EOF fixes
2600 - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
2601 - `term destroys if mplayer (MPG) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
2602 added sighandler to the 3rd process (MPEG codec) to avoid sig. recursion
2603 - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
2604 - MPEG EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
2605 - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
2606 (contains module number where the segfault occurred)
2607 - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
2608 (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
2612 MPlayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22, 2000
2614 - AVI image flipping reworked:
2615 - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down
2616 - image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules
2617 - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
2618 - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from XAnim source)
2623 test release, small fixes
2624 - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
2625 - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
2626 [thanks to David Whysong]
2631 MPlayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10, 2000
2632 test release, verbose mode, new docs
2633 - new option: -v = increment verbosity level
2634 (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
2635 - default level: 0, only some informal output
2636 - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, AVI header, function values
2637 - player debug: 2, print AVI indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
2638 - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
2639 to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level 3)
2640 - bitrate calculation for AVI files
2641 - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
2642 - TVout directory added (only the scripts)
2646 MPlayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8, 2000
2647 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
2648 - AVI: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
2649 - AVI: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
2650 work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
2651 - AVI: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
2652 (disable with -nobps if you want)
2653 - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
2654 - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
2658 MPlayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5, 2000
2659 test release, players merged!!!
2660 - avip and mpegp have been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'
2661 - file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other)
2662 - no redundant code (common code for common jobs)
2663 - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
2664 - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
2665 - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
2666 - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
2667 - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
2668 if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
2669 image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
2671 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
2672 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
2673 [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
2674 - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
2678 MPlayer v0.09: Dec 5, 2000
2679 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
2680 - version changed in the files
2685 MPlayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3, 2000
2686 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
2687 - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
2688 - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting in near-perfect seeking now!
2689 current method calculates absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
2691 - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
2692 - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
2693 I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
2699 - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
2700 Walken told me that standard MPG/VOB streams must NOT use framerate
2701 and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
2702 - CRC support to mp3lib's MPEG audio layer-2 decoder
2703 thanks for bug report & test file to Samson
2707 MPlayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1, 2000
2709 - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
2710 - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and
2711 glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code)
2712 [thanks to Christian Birchinger]
2716 MPlayer v0.08: Nov 27, 2000
2717 Index support, AVI seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
2718 - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
2719 - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
2720 it segfaults if compiled optimized (it does some hacks with
2721 pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
2722 - added new tool called aviparse (read and check AVI file structure)
2723 - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
2724 - termcap usage is optional (for those Debian users without termcap)
2725 - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
2726 - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)
2727 - sse is called 'sse' again
2728 - 'flags' field renamed to 'features'
2729 - Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED
2730 - AVI seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented
2731 no PTS resync after seek yet.
2732 - default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver
2733 new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
2737 MPlayer v0.07: Nov 21, 2000

2778 mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
2779 MPEG codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
2780 Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
2781 image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
2785 mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
2786 MPEG codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was great
2787 stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
2791 mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
2792 The first try, hacked together in half an hour! I've used libmpeg3
2793 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
2794 image quality and speed problems with it.
