91 Description: make everything UTF-8 based
\r
92 Convert everything that deals with strings to a UTF-8 based system. Not very difficult, but needs a lot of checking, testing and allows for easy breakage.
\r
99 Description: no blocking primary interface
\r
100 Do away with the strange primary blocking interface. The first interface should be run in the same thread, but not be the blocking call. Load other interfaces in new threads.
\r
107 Description: OSD Icons
\r
108 Make OSD Icons for Play/Pause/Stop. Integrate them better into the core system.

141 Description: GSM decoder

142 GSM decoder not based on standard reference sources.
\r
149 Description: MusePack decoder
\r
150 Need I say more? <a href="http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?showtopic=21775&">MPCdec</a>. We are awaiting MPC 7.5 or 8.0 specification which should split the codec from the fileformat.
\r
157 Description: 24 bit LPCM
\r
158 - Increasingly more DVDs use 24 bit LPCM sound. We should support it.
\r
165 Description: LPCM on mac
\r
166 The LPCM decoder outputs really small samples which aren't accepted properly by the macosx coreaudio resampler, causing VLC to not output any sound with many DVD's. A test sample that shows this effect on the mac is the Madonna clip.
\r
173 Description: APE decoder
\r
174 Need I say more? <a href="http://www.monkeysaudio.com/">Monkeys Audio (APE)</a> website. This codec is currently not GPL compatible. We will have to await a GPL compatible implementation of this.
\r
181 Description: flash video muxer
\r
182 A flash video muxer. FFMPEG can already output flash video. a wast not to make use of that capability.
\r
190 Description: Closed Captions/Teletext support
\r
191 In order to conform to international regulations, VLC needs to be able to decode the closed captions in TV, DVD, DVB and HDTV video. V4L has a CC api, DVD and HDTV usually have them in a seperate stream.
\r
192 Perhaps look at Xawtv, dvbtext and other vbi, vtx systems.
\r
199 Description: DVB info in NIT
\r
200 We need to get the information of a DVB stream that are in the NIT (current program, next program, ...)
\r
207 Description: IceCast/ShoutCast serving
\r
208 This would be a nice thing for the sake of completeness of VLC's streaming capabilities.
\r
215 Description: New OS X preferences
\r
216 New preferences for Mac OS X. Current not suited for Mac Users and several

224 Description: CoreAudio multichannel audio output.
\r
225 Convert to <a href="http://www.mat.ucsb.edu:8000/CoreAudio/108">AUHAL</a> based sytem.
\r
226 Still no info over S/PDIF output available.
\r
227 Outstanding issues:<br />
\r
228 - G5 S/PDIF not working<br />
\r
229 - G5 PCM not working because S/PDIF is selected by default, even if not connected.<br />
\r
230 - Coreaudio resampler doesn't handle input from lpcm decoder (the samples are too small).
\r
237 Description: Stream text subtitles
\r
238 Find a a way to stream text subtitles, in TS and in RTP.
\r
239 - Find an existing norm
\r
241 (40% done) needs to be tested and validated
\r
242 Status: Assigned to fenrir
\r
248 Description: Fix up text subtitles
\r
249 Currently the subtitle dialog boxes are out of date and not really useable. Also we need more files to test and verify the current support. Other issues should mostly be dealt with after the vout systems are improved. For SSA support positioning and color needs to be added for instance.
\r
256 Description: Rework spu decoder
\r
257 The spu decoder needs some serious work
\r
258 - Split/merge for dvd menu highlighting
\r
259 - Downscaling for divx/mkv etc
\r
260 - Chroma independence (YUVA ???)
\r
261 - .sub/.idx support
\r
268 Description: RTSP server
\r
269 Full implementation of a RTSP server.
\r
270 Status: fenrir has some code
\r
276 Description: Picture filters
\r
277 picture per picture chained filter system that also works on output streams
\r
284 Description: Vout redesign
\r
285 - vout needs distinct splitting into vout_core, vout_window, pic_filter, vout_filter
\r
286 - needs 'assistence' vout windows (clone filters, goom) etc.
\r
287 - 4:3, 16:9, freeform Aspect Ratio
\r
288 - cropping and padding (do at OS level, but provide a core call to set it up and configure).
\r
289 - OSD at window resolution instead of video res (secondary vout channel)
\r
290 - a OSD needs to be bound to a vout stream (no subs on goom vout)
\r
291 - Use OS native calls where appropriate, with 'C' fallbacks. (OpenGL, Quartz, DirectX already has many of the funtionalities we seek and sometimes they are a lot faster too).
\r
298 Description: SPU redesign
\r
299 - multiple subpicture channels
\r
300 - centralized rendering and use of chroma filters
\r
301 - centralized scaling support
\r
302 (also look at ogt/cvd sub work)
\r
309 Description: intf / vout dependency
\r
310 The application specific parts of the intf need to be brougth to the VLC application core. A valid NSApplication needs to be created on VLC opening, with the dock and menu hidden/disabled, only being generated on VLC intf loading.
\r
311 (70% done) need to fix the interfaces again.<br />
\r
312 This is mostly implemented, but some mem leaks are now bothering the macosx part. this should be fixed.
\r
313 Status: Assigned to DJ

319 Description: skins2
\r
320 Port VLC skins to Objective C++ and OSX. Also requires the intf to be a dialog handler. Is slighly dependant on intf/vout dependency todoitem
\r
327 Description: Equalizer Graphic control
\r
328 Now that VLC has an equalizer, we need a way to control it easily from the GUI.
\r
336 Description: informing user.
\r
337 Implement a system to: <br />
\r
338 - Alert the user of critical errors (cannot play file). Should be blocking. <br />
\r
339 - Ask the user a question (Are you sure? or Try to Fix index of avi? or Overwrite File?)<br />
\r
340 - Inform the user, without disturbing him. (Buffering stream). This might require a time bases or something perhaps. Because how do we know how long this information should be displayed? Also think of buffering 0-100%<br />
\r
347 Description: Full H323 Videoconferencing
\r
348 VLC isn't really suited for this yet, because it introduces quite large latencies. This should fixed before the H323 can ever come close to working in VLC.
\r
355 Description: SVCD support
\r
356 libcdio needs to be ported to the Mac to support the cddax and vcdx modules for proper SVCD support
\r

\r
372 Description: Finish Mac Mozilla plugin
\r
373 The Mac mozilla plugin needs some more work to be useable. Basic funtionality is working. However the video-output part needs some more work since it was crashing. See svn history for the old code.
\r
374 Status: Halfway (stalled)
\r
380 Description: Controlling the mozilla plugin
\r
381 The mozilla plugin needs to be better controllable (via javascript).
\r
382 - retrieve variable values.
\r
383 - open VLC media player
\r
384 - default html page to control the plugin

432 Description: mime-type VLC launching
\r
433 Allow application/vlc mimetype to launch VLC instead of plugin for video file.
\r
434 Allows for Progressive download to TEMP folder from browsers. VLC would play the file in the TEMP.
\r
441 Description: rendezvous announces
\r
442 DMAP protocol announce for videos.
\r
449 Description: SDL vout cleaning
\r
450 The SDL vout hasn't been updated for a long while. It needs some cleaning up. New hotkeys support, better resizing, alignment etc. Even though SDL isn't used much, this vout shouldn't disappear, because it is a crossplatform API.
\r
456 Platform: Win32/Linux
\r
457 Description: V4L and dshow tuning support
\r
458 We need an API that allows us to control the tuning of V4L and dshow TV cards.

481 Description: UDP packet reordering
\r
482 Currently we ignore every packet that is too late and just wait for a fresh one.
\r
483 It would be nice to be able to reorder the packets in the buffer to prevent degredation of the signal.
\r
490 Description: Make vlm more user friendly (setup etc)
\r
491 vlm is kinda a pain to setup if you are not entirely experiences with A/V and streaming or VLC for that matter. It can be heavily improved by updating the vlm http interface.
\r
498 Description: Protocol rollover
\r
499 It would be cool if VLC supported something like a protocol rollover mechanism, much like WM server has as well. Multicast, UDP, TCP, HTTP etc.
\r
500 However, how spec compliant can this be?<br />
\r
501 We require a timeout on udp connecting. Beyond this a playlist file can be used to do a form of protocol rollover when one of the links fails.
\r
508 Description: NAT issues
\r
509 Find a way to deal with clients behind a NAT. Multicast and RTSP work 'poorly' in these setups. NATP2P, STUN, UDP hole punching, other techniques ????
\r
510 Protocol rollover can be a solution for a lot of these issues.
\r
517 Description: Gstreamer and Helix API integration
\r
518 See if you can support GStreamer and helix plugins in one way or another.
