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.
- This is needed for proper seek/pause/fast forward/...
- The decoder/packetizer do not need to scale packet length anymore as the
decoder thread do it.
I removed:
i_x/i_y: redondant with region i_x/i_y. Now a subpicture always represent the
whole video.
i_flags: unused anywhere in the core.
I may have broken a few video filters (osdmenu mainly). I will fix it if you
report the problem and the way to reproduce it.
If the TS demux signals initial page 100, then this inital page is likely NOT the subtitle page. Since we can only really handle subtitles, let the teletext decoder figure out which pages are subtitles on its own.
Per request of Marian Durkovic
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.
"This is part of a former submission stripped out for easier
assimilation. It modifies vout_subpictures to use the existing alignment
field on each region, rather than the alignment on the subpicture plane
itself. Modifications are made to everywhere that depended on the former
behaviour, to make it use the new alignment location instead."
for different languages. Slightly changed the way the dvbsub parser
works to allow correct streaming with --sout-all or --programs.
* modules/mux/mpeg/ts.c: Changes to allow descriptor pass-through with
telx and dvbsub. This is kind of kludgy.
* module/codec/telx.c: Got rid of the ugly static variables and use
info from the TS demux.
- the stream provided by thedj containing some kind of VPS informations know works fine (they aren't displayed as subtitles anymore). It also solve the same issue on two examples streams on the vlc file repository (called stream-demux-telx-1.dump and stream-demux-telx-2.dump)
- got rid of a kludge that used to be necessary on the "has-subtitles.ts" example stream to avoid subtitles disapearing too fast in some cases. I don't know exactly why it's not anymore necessary, probably because I handle better the subtitle flag now.
- now the page number is handled independently for each 8 magazines
