3 Please try to keep this file up to date. Also, grep for FIXME in the
4 source files for more and more bugs to fix.
6 For information on how to post a useful bug report, please read
7 doc/bugreport-howto.txt.
12 * vlc_cond_broadcast unimplemented on most plaforms.
17 * DVD raw device support doesn't seem to work.
19 * HTTP input seems to lose packets during pre-parsing.
21 * TS input doesn't work under Windows 98 when the server address is
24 * Stopping and playing again a network stream often makes vlc crash
27 * segfault after "INPUT_MAX_ALLOCATION reached" error message. This seems
28 to be happening when an output plugin isn't "eating" the data buffers
29 allocated by a decoder. This happens for instance when the audio output
30 plugin fails but the audio decoder goes on as if nothing happened.
34 * Under Win32, the a52 plugin will segfault when switching to different audio
40 * Audio output stutters on some audio cards. For instance kwyxz's SB
41 128 with an es1371 chip.
46 * We don't render subtitles on RGB surfaces.
48 * The MGA video output plugin makes the picture stutter when
49 MGA_NUM_FRAMES is set to a value higher than 1.
51 * The SPU decoder doesn't detect when the video output failed to
52 launch itself, and we segfault.
54 * On-the-fly resizing when using a chroma transformation doesn't work for
55 all plugins. Currently it is only implemented for x11 and SDL.
57 * The DirectX video output can't create overlays on some (even recent)
60 * The alternate_fullscreen method of the x11 and xvideo plugins will
61 sometimes not switch to fullscreen.
63 Chroma transformations:
65 * Most chroma transformation modules completely ignore margins.
67 * Most chroma transformation modules restrict the width of a picture
68 to multiples of 8 or even 16. We can achieve better than that.
73 * Most filters completely ignore margins.
78 * Playing like a madman with the `Playlist' button makes the interface
81 * No text in the status bar
83 * No window title on some machines, correct window title on another
88 * The Jin-Roh DVD seems to segfault.
