-- needs 'assistance' vout windows (clone filters, goom) etc.
-- 4:3, 16:9, freeform Aspect Ratio
-- cropping and padding (do at OS level, but provide a core call to set it up and configure).
-- OSD at window resolution instead of video res (secondary vout channel)
-- a OSD needs to be bound to a vout stream (no subs on goom vout)
-- 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).
-- Allow a vout to reuse a window by resizing it (instead of closing and opening). -- better hotkeys integration -Status: Todo - -Task -Difficulty: Medium -Urgency: Wishlist -Platform: any -Description: Subtitle work -- better SSA support with postioning, colors etc.
-Status: Todo - -Task -Difficulty: Easy -Urgency: Wishlist -Platform: any -Description: Automatic charset recognition -See if we can use ENCA for automatic charset recognition on subtitle files.

Also requires the intf to be a dialog provider. There is already some code in the VLC sourcetree.
-Hints:
- - In a first step, the need for a dialog provider can be easily omitted.
- - In theory, only a small amount of classes (6 or so) must be written for OS X, implementing predefined interfaces.
- - The code of FLTK could be really helpful to identify the correct functions and see how to use them. -Status: Todo - -Task -Difficulty: Hard -Urgency: Wishlist -Platform: any -Description: informing user. -Implement a system to:
- - Alert the user of critical errors (cannot play file). Should be blocking.
- - Ask the user a question (Are you sure? or Try to Fix index of avi? or Overwrite File?)
- - Inform the user, without disturbing him. (Buffering stream). This might require a displaytime or something. Because how do we know how long this information should be displayed? Also think of buffering 0-100%
- - present a user/passwd dialog when we get an authentication failure on a stream.
-Implementation ideas:
- - via variables and callbacks. How to give answers back ?
- - via p_intf->pf_* functions.
