Features to add to it:
* Parse more meta than artist/title :)
* Fetch duration for Vorbis files
* Fetch album art in ID3v2 (APIC frames)
* Write back tags to file
Unfortunately, it only works for files, so it can't replace libid3tag
It is built by default since it sends notifications to network (perhaps
we should only build it on macos).
msn.c: should fix a refcount issue (*not tested*)
include/video_output.h: added some members needed by text renderer modules
src/video_output/video_output.c: load and unload text renderer module when needed
src/video_output/video_text.c: implemented some functions to show text on the video
include/osd.h: exported the functions to show text
modules/misc/Modules.am, module/misc/freetype.c: new text renderer module, largly based on the old osdtext module.
modules/video_filter/Modules.am, modules/video_filter/osd_text.c: removed the osdtext module
configure.ac: changes "osdtext" to "freetype" some places
modules/codec/spudec/*: when iconv is available, use it to convert textual subtitles from the encoding given by --sub-encoding to utf8. Use new code to render subtitles
modules/control/lirc/lirc.c: use new code to give feedback on buttons pressed. untested.
modules/demux/util/sub.c: remove all traces of the ugly old osdtext module
modules/misc/dummy/*: added a "text renderer" submodule in the dummy module
src/misc/modules.c: included osd.h as it seems to be needed to export symbols
final notes: you need to give a proper value to --freetype-font. This should be the path to a font file freetype2 can handle (almost any format afaik) with a unicode translation table in it. Windows ttf files will do. In linux at least openoffice distributes some fonts that work. I think macosx and beos also has useable fonts.
+ New build system, using recursive makefiles. Due to the amount of code
in VLC, this had become unavoidable.
+ Removed the check for OS X's stack size, since our automake targets are
a lot less hungry now.
+ Ditto for Solaris's sed.
+ Since automake-1.6 is faster than 1.7, use it first if both are present.
* m4/vlc.m4:
+ New AX_ADD_CPPFLAGS, AX_ADD_CFLAGS, AX_ADD_CXXFLAGS, AX_ADD_OBJCFLAGS
and AX_ADD_LDFLAGS macros that do all the magic to detect possible
modules and register their flags.
+ New AX_ADD_BUILTINS and AX_ADD_PLUGINS macros.
+ Some magic to generate vlc-config.
* configure.ac:
+ Moved most code to the AX_ADD_* macros.
+ Explicitely added all target Makefiles.
* modules/**/Modules.am:
+ Path to sources are now relative to Modules.am's directory level.
