Or we could support both types of output. I haven't compiled the
latest mplayer cvs, but maybe that's the better solution.

It would save me from having to patch mplayer for this every time. :)




* MythTV file support


What's that?

MythTV uses a modified nuppelvideo format that mplayer can't play. Someone on the list asked for this because they had some myth files they wanted to play in Freevo.




BTW, from my point of view we could release this weekend, but IIRC Rob
needs some more time. Rob: Any suggestion for the next release?

Well, I still have some things to update in the runtime. Most of it is not too much of a problem but adding directfb support for SDL is a pain and need to come up with a new way of inclidung the drivers.


I am trying something new this time around for the runtime and hope it will reduce problems and support questions. All of the runtime 'apps' I provide will be staticly linked, and stripped. I know this will take up more space and make the download bigger but that is a price I am willing to pay. Also right now the runapp program segfaults while running a static app from inside the runtime because it still tries to use the preloads. So, I will be fixing that prob with runapp.

I think we should have a util function called util.runapp() or something and replase ALL os.system() calls with it. In util.runapp() we can simply prepend '/path/to/runapp --flags ' to the command (it should also empty LD_PRELOAD). This should eliminate all libs preload errors which also occur while running commands located outside the runtime. So the only preloaded libraries we will need are those needed by python modules.

Also, I would like to change the runtime/ dir to have dirs like lib, include, bin, src instead of dll (redundant) and apps. I may not get around to that for this release though. I would like to also move and other binaries (chchan, rominfo, runapp, others) into the runapp bin directory.

Oh yeah, I am hoping updating things in the runtime will fix that mysterious audio crash while changing songs. I think this definately needs to be fixed before the next release. If it isn't the runtime we will need to track it down.

P.S. - hmm, I probably need a few more days :)
