Re-license almost all the playback modules to LGPLv2.1+ with
authorization from their respective contributors (230+)
This includes:
- access, codec, packetizers, demux
- audio filters, audio mixers, audio output
- video filters, video chroma, video output
- text renderers
- XML parser
- ARM NEON and SSE2 optimisations (mostly for chromas and filters)
Some modules are not concerned:
- BDA and DShow access modules because Manol Manolov is AWOL
- Real RTSP, because it is derived from Xine
- x264 and t140 because they are encoders only
- DLL Loader, because it is derived from MPlayer
- DTS packetizer, because Jon Lech Johansen is AWOL
- Shine and WMAfixed, because they are derived from Rockbox
- Real demuxer, as it is derived from MPlayer and Wang Bo is AWOL
- MPC demuxer, as Yavor Doganov is AWOL
- Tivo demuxer, because it is derived from an MPlayer fork
- Playlist demuxer, (WPL and ZPL parts missing), because suheaven is AWOL
- iOS audio output and video display, because author refuses the license change
- Equalizer and compressor, because Ronald Wright is AWOL
- Mono, Headphone and Dolby, because author refuses the license change
- hqdn3d and yadif, because they are from MPlayer/libavfilter
- remoteosd, because it derives from RealVNC code
- MMX optimisations, because Ollie Lho, from SiS, is AWOL
- Rotate, because it depends on GPL motion
Nota Bene:
- Some modules depend on GPL-only libraries, a LGPL module does not mean
that the resulting binary module will be LGPL.
Libraries affected would include liba52, libdvdcss, libdvdnav, libdvdread,
faad2, libdca, libmad, libmpeg2, libpostproc, SRC, sid, zvbi and probably others.
Conversion from FI32 to S16 is already supported by the Laurent's
generic audio format filter. Conversion to FI32 are useless for lack
of (functional) FI32 encoder or output.
aout_buffer_t now looks very much like a subset of block_t at the
source code level. By the way, we might want to revisit the return value
of date_Increment()...
use size_t instead of int to represent sizes
removes unused parameters from:
block_BytestreamInit()
mpeg4_audio/LOASSyncInfo()
cinepak/cinepak_Getv1()
speex/SendPacket()
subsass/ParseColor()
ffmpeg/postprocess/InitPostproc() & PostprocPict()
dvbsub/YuvaYuvp() & encode_pixel_line_{2,4,8}bp()
faad/DoReordering()
vlc_block_helper.h:
use size_t, removes unused parameter from block_BytestreamInit()
struct filter_t:
removes unused parameters from pf_picture_link() & pf_picture_unlink()
cmml: fix a segfault (p_item isn't an input item, despite the name) present for some months, proving that nobody did use that code ?
Missing some cases that I could not test.
Also ffmpeg/chroma.c is locked, so I can but leave it broken.
Fix is for the remaining modules is obvious and the issue is easy to detect.
* Headers in include must contain the structures and prototypes needed
by the plugins and should be named vlc_*.
* Headers in include/vlc must contain the structures and prototypes
needed by external libvlc clients
* Moved and renamed some things in headers.
- Removed vlc_cpu.h, vlc_error.h (merged in vlc_common)
- Removed snapshot.h (merged in vlc_vout.h)
- Removed vlc_spu.h (merged in vlc_osd.h)
- Removed intf_eject.h and vlc_interaction.h (merged in vlc_interface)
- Moved all internal headers to src
- Merged vlc_video.h and video_output.h and move private things to src
- Removed vlc/intf.h, vlc/aout.h, vlc/vout.h, vlc/decoder.h and vlc/input.h
(meta headers for use in modules, and often implying too large
dependencies)
* Removed some useless dependencies
* Unexported a bunch of functions and structures used only in src/
(--> Still some work here)
* Finally made input_thread_t and input_source_t (mostly) private.
Added input_GetItem to fetch the input_item of an input_thread
* Cleaned up deprecated entries in vlc_symbols.h and bumped up symbol
prefix
This commit has a 99% probability of breaking the build, 0.1% of killing
your cat and 0% of getting you hot chicks.
* Each module can declare a "human-readable short name" with set_name
* Modules are sorted by category (set_category, set_subcategory).
Modules configs can be separated by set_section()
* Separated audio-filter and audio-visual
* Separated extraintf and control
* New command and widget : add_module_list() for comma-separated modules
* Vfilters now use "," as separator
