- Fixed TS input ( a nasty dead lock had appeared 4 days ago )
- Added base of network support

Things to be done :
- Meuuh : fix the PCR synchronisation so that we can set b_pace_cntrol to 0
- Sam : find a way of specifing the type of media (file, net). For the
moment, the "--input ts" always call input_NetworkOpen
- Maybe sam : for the moment the working syntax is vlc --input ts
servername, it should nbe turned into "vlc --server servername".

Things that don't work (i'll work on this this week end) :
- stopping and retaking a stream
- a nice 'waiting for stream'
- we select all incoming streams. we should be able to select.

Things that haven't been tested :
- broadcast
- only tested with one stream.

Kick me if something is broken by my fault.

* Increased FIFO_SIZE.

found one DVD for which ifo seems false).

-Title and chapter selection on the command line (see -t and -T options)
It will allow to watch some DVD that went through menus by default.

-beginning of menus in gnome interface.

 * Ported the framebuffer plugin to the new module API. As for most of the
   other video output modules, keyboard doesn't work. Except ^C to quit.

 * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible
   deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
 * Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
   be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
   1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
 * Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
   holes just need to be filled.
 * Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
 * The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
   they are using X11 or SDL.
 * The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
   on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).

  * Fixed my old stupid bug that disabled sound after having played the
    first playlist item.
  * Added `Prev' and `Next' buttons to the interface, with the beginning of
    a playlist window (still empty).
  * Added `Slow' and `Fast' buttons to the interface and popup menu.

  Ok, I promise it's the last time I check bloat in, from now the interface
  commits will be much cleaner and actually fix things :)

  Beginning of Interface II
 ---------------------------

 * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
 * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
   intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
   been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
   default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).

  Note that this is _not_ Interface II, it's just a step forward. For
  instance, it lacks the whole message passing scheme.

  Things that should work:

 * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
 * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
 * The old SDL keys still work.

   Things that are broken or may be broken:

 * Xlib calls are not locked yet, which may lead to "Unexpected async reply"
   errors, and make the vlc segfault.
 * Sound only works for the first file.
 * The SDL vout_sdl.c file is absolutely ugly and kludgey.
 * The vlc immediately quits when no filename is given as an argument. Not
   a real bug, but still annoying.
 * The Gnome menu does not work in fullscreen mode.

   Things that will come soon, maybe tomorrow:

 * Complete navigation buttons (fast forward, slow, etc.).
 * File/Open menu to add files to the playlist.
 * Return of the X11 video output for those of us who do not have SDL.
 * Textmode interface for those of us who do not have Gnome.
 * aout and vout autospawn (maybe).

   This commit is a bit early, but it'll save Stef, Henri and me much
 time later, when we don't have to backport modifications to input_*.c

   What's new :
    - playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
    like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
    - input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
    plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/

   What's broken :
    - audio output might be broken on some streams ; have to investigate

   What has changed :
    - fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
    linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
    - `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
     vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
    - module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
    verbosity on

 . version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo
 . --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
 . the vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
   to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation, just script it like :

      for i in ~/mpeg/* ; do vlc --fullscreen --overlay --vout sdl $i ; done


 Yes, I know the --overlay stuff is fucking ugly. But *I* am not the one
  who redefines vout_sys_t in an interface-related source file. I won't
  change it until the vout/intf is finished being rewritten.

 Additional information: if "--overlay --fulscreen" doesn't center your
  picture, try with your screen geometry, eg:
  "--overlay --fullscreen --width 1024 --height 768"

    The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your
  implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
  `--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
  if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
  due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
  actively if you have time, though.

    Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.

    I moved vdec_motion.h and vpar_blocks.h back to /include because they
  will be needed to build motion compensation modules, but perhaps we don't
  need to export everything which is in these files.

    /src/video_decoder/ now has only one .c file, perhaps it could now be
  merged with video_parser ?

 [ include/config.h.in has changed, don't forget tu run ./configure ]

 . fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags
 . updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change
 . removed a few unneeded #includes here and there
 . cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c

   Currently available flags are now :

     --aout dummy
            esd
            dsp
            alsa

     --idct idct
            idctclassic
            idctmmx

     --yuv yuv
           yuvmmx

  --vout works like before, but still uses the old plugin system for now.

. Parsing of ifo file almost completed.
. Still does not work well.

INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ;
video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ;
decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ;
* Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ;
* Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ;
* Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ;
* Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ;
* Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ;
* Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ;
* Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting
(still one left, yaknow why ?)

 . this is a coding style patch which removes all "foo(bar){" constructions
   and most of the tabulations.
 . also, fixed a bug in the default subtitle track.
 . and made a few error messages more explicit, ie. changed "error: %s" to
   "foo error: couldn't initialize bar (%s)"

* Changed behaviour of preparsing code, faster startup ;
* Fixed DecodePSM(), cannot test ;
* Cleaned up ParsePES(), fixed a bug which could reject very small but
  valid PES packets ;
* Fixed cosmetic bugs in vpar_synchro frame_rate display.

who thought it would be cleaner to put config in environment variables
correct what's wrong in my code).

* Fixed a bug in AC3 initialization ;
* PS streams are now pre-parsed (this can take a while) if possible ;

./configure is required after this update.

Change vlan_server_ip to vishnou's ip (but vlans not working yet)

Same changes that were made in the stbale branch ( FB_NOYPAN support )

* Fixed a bug in the video synchro time scheduling
* Made the vout more precise on display dates

NB : it is necessary to re-run ./configure

 * Fixed a bug which made frames go backwards with some displays (the
   video_decoder thread is now niced).
 * Made use of intf_WarnMsg() in the most needed places.
Also simplified the synchro algorithm and fixed a bug with non-(5/1) streams.
Fixed the optimizations in the configure stuff.
Warning : this release needs a full rebuild (make clean; make).
Warning : I might have broken the BeOS port, could somebody check ?

intf_WarnMsgImm
.on active les messages de warning au lancement avec l'option --warning
.le i_level par d�fault est 12 (on ne montre pas les messages de niveau
inf�rieur � 12

J'esp�re que �a correspond � ce qui a �t� discut� dans videolan-devel.

you check I did'nt make a mess of it ?).
* Added todo things in the TODO file.

* Remettage du #define STATS parce qu'en fait sinon on n'a pas les infos
dans la fen�tre. C'est dommage d'ailleurs qu'on ait � le mettre, parce
que du coup �a va nous d�courager de faire des stats sur d'autres
parties.
* Changements cosm�tiques dans les relations video_parser/video_decoder.

* Le warning (late pictures) du vout est d�sormais un DbgMsg (en
attendant les WarnMsg) ;
* Correction d'un bug en mode debug (sic).

  * Fixed a bug in video_ouput.c which made the stream go backwards
    sometimes.
  * Fixed a bug in video_ouput.c which trashed more late pictures than
    necessary.
  * Fixed the DEBUG mode in the Makefile.
  * Fixed a bug in mwait() which made us wait too long.

Ca va tuer.

  piti�, pour ne laisser que � vlc �, � gvlc � (gnome) et � fbvlc �
  (framebuffer) ; les autres restent bien entendu accessibles avec
  par exemple � vlc --vout ggi �.

 . IMPORTANT - nouvelle option --synchro pour forcer un type de
  synchro. Pour le moment les options possibles sont :

    --synchro I     /* n'affiche que les I */
    --synchro IP    /* affiche les I et toutes les P */
    --synchro IP+   /* affiche les I, les P, et la moiti� des B */
    --synchro IPB   /* affiche toutes les images */

   Toute autre valeur de --synchro sera ignor�e et c'est l'algo
  par d�faut bas� sur la consommation de processeur qui sera
  utilis�. Notez que si vous en demandez trop au vlc, il va
  bien entendu planter, ou tout du moins remplir sa fifo comme
  un gros cochon. On n'y peut pas grand chose, c'est la vie.

  * removed float operations in the video decoder, and all emms asm functions
  * borrowed linuxvideo's MMX motion compensation
  * fixed an undefined symbol in the MMX YUV plugin
