The road to xine-lib 1.0
========================
this only relates to the xine engine (xine-lib), not xine
frontends
required for 1.0
----------------
- update xine hacker's guide
- update / rewrite xine HOWTO (stefan, guenter)
- xine bug tracking system?
- fix stream end detection for real streams
- fix mpeg elementary stream playback (especially logo streams
with only one frame)
optional
--------
- double-check rate estimation in demux_mgeg/mpeg_block
- log/verbose output macros
- fix cook audio streaming
- better dvd error messages
- fix streaming of small files (e.g. http)
- rtp / rtsp support:
- input_rtp
- rtsp support (currently only real's rtsp derivate is implemented)
- isma/apple streaming server support (mpeg4ip.sf.net)
- find out what all those people requesting rtp/multicast/... support
really want and how to implement it :)
- videolan streaming server support
- helix streaming server support
- detect broken savage drivers in health check, disable Xv in that case
- id3v2 (guenter)
- directfb video output plugin
- reduce memory footprint (e.g. variable fifo buffer sizes...)
- bring dxr3 video out to work with aaxine (michael)
- Multiple DVD Subtitles displayed at the same time (jcdutton)
- Move read cache code from libdvdnav into input_dvd.c (jcdutton)
- Support DVD "Trick" modes. Super Fast forward/reverse (jcdutton)
- xvid decoder plugin
- opengl video output plugin (matthias, sopra at stuttgart university)
- irix audio output plugin (matthias)
- support changing channel for V4L (event already defined in xine.h)
Open Tasks
==========
- port to other OS (Net/OpenBSD, hurd ...?)
- MicroDVD input plugin
- video output synced to vertical blank
preferably without requiring
root privileges (XSync extension? MAS?)
- direct playback of vcd images
- resolve issues with ffmpeg's live http streaming server
- videolan streaming support
- MAS support (http://www.mediaapplicationserver.net)
- nonlinear video editing and compositing frontend (michael) => enix
- stream format conversion frontend => enix
xine's future
=============
- Separation of lots of audio and video processing functionality into post
plugins:
- Separate plugins for software scaling, colour space conversion,
postprocessing, deinterlacing, cropping, audio resampling, software
volume etc. If it's convenient/efficient plugins can do more than one
thing at the same time.
- Decoders set flags suggesting what needs to be done, e.g. ffmpeg decoder
might suggest postprocessing and cropping.
- Output drivers advertise what features are supported natively and what
limitations there are, e.g. scaling and maximum frame size for Xv.
- Front end informs engine what processing the user requests, e.g. audio
equaliser
- xine engine automatically inserts a chain of plugins for carrying out the
necessary processing.
Doing this would:
- Simplify decoder and output plugins, and therefore make developing new
ones much easier
- Reduce common code
- Increase flexibility of the engine
The api should also allow the automatic insertion to be overridden/controlled
for applications such as video processing.
- see what kind of cooperation can be set up with other media player projects
- mike will look into moving xine's decoder api closer to the one
ffmpeg uses
- check out other media players
- output, demuxer plugins
