1. Have vlc compile & run with dummy outputs - DONE
2. Have x11 plugin work - FAILED
or alternatively have sdl plugin work - FAILED
3. Write a native audio output plugin - DONE
4. Port DeCSS-like features - IN PROGRESS [A]
5. Write a native video output plugin - IN PROGRESS
6. Write a native aqua interface - TODO
7. Write Altivec optimizations - IN PROGRESS [B]
* Status :
The latest cvs should compile flawlessly under MacOS X (untested
under Darwin), provided you have installed the dl library :
<http://fink.sourceforge.net/files/dlcompat-20010123.tar.gz>
vlc can then play .mpg or unencrypted .vob files. MPEG audio is
reported to be working with CoreAudio (driver courtesy of Colin
Delacroix). AC3 decoder seems to be broken (output different from
Linux/PPC ??), we're investigating.
* Detailed comments :
[A] Samuel Hocevar <sam at via.ecp.fr> is working on it. He's trying to
get access to key negociation functions.
[B] Altivec IDCT committed but not working, I'm on this ; Makefile
and configure ready. Samuel Hocevar is working on runtime Altivec
detection.
