[vlc-devel] VCD plugin status & problems

[R. Bernstein]

The code to read keyboard input for the VCD plugin is in CVS. It's
better than before although there are a number of problems. 
See -- -- -- below for some of them. 

I've mapped the ACTIONID keys as follows:

symbol             kbd symbol      VCD name 
ACTIONID_NAV_LEFT  (left arrow)  : previous 
ACTIONID_NAV_RIGHT (right arrow) : next
ACTIONID_NAV_UP    (up arrow)    : return
ACTIONID_NAV_DOWN  (down arrow)  : default 
ACTIONID_NAV_ACTIVATE (enter)    : ends numeric selection

You can prefix the previous/next keys with a number and it will be the
same as if you pressed that key that many times. 

As mentioned in my last note, numeric keys are hard-coded to the ASCII
digits since there are no hot keys symbols for these.

I welcome suggestions or comments on using these key bindings.

I seem to have a lot of problems with the video/audio dropping out
when changing between still frame and video clips. These may have different
resolutions (SVCD PAL still frames can be say 704x576 while MPEG's are
limited to 480x576). 

This may be related or not, but right now I'm getting messages like this: 

[00000170] main input warning: clock gap, unexpected stream discontinuity
[00000170] mpeg_system input warning: mux_rate changed, expect cosmetic errors

What's the right way to tell the back end that such a change has
occurred?

Thanks.
