- Update & fix the "internal" FFmpeg use. It now works with a current FFmpeg CVS. To create a new distribution (with this one), launch these following commands:
  -----------
  ( cd ..
    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/ffmpeg co -P ffmpeg )
    cp -a ../ffmpeg/libav{codec,format,util} .

- Try to fix this error "use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated" that appears with gcc 3.4/3.5: The problem was not an Athlon 64 bits bug..... (Thanks to Sorg for his tests).
- Fix a bug from Calimero: A segfault appears if xosd is not activated and if there is no info into the RC file about xosd.
- Del a warning discovered by Calimero.

(Mr Moustache):
- Patch that add the possibility to install in a specific DESTDIR: make DESTDIR=path.

("Hiroshi Hasebe" <hhasebe@dvoi.com>):
- patch that update frequencies for Tokyo or Yokohama.

Update:
(Pingus):
- Upgrade xosd 2.2.8 to the 2.2.14 version. Add the specific code missing in version > 2.2.8 about the management of the foreign characters.
- Update the channels frequencies list: add frequencies for China, Argentina, southafrica, australia optus and us cable hrc from xawtv 3.94.

(Pingus & Alain):
- As Hiroshi Hasebe patch arrived so we update and verify all frequencies for: ntsc-us-bcast, ntsc-us-cable, ntsc-japan-bcast, ntsc-japan-cable, secam-france, secam-russia, pal-europe west, pal-europe-east, pal-italy, pal-newzealand, pal-australia, pal-ireland. Compatibility with old freqtab names added.

(Pingus & Alain & Mat):
- FFmpeg split ffhuffyuv into 2 codecs: "huffyuv" is compatible with the official version & "ffvhuff" contains our improvements => if you use ffmpeg < 4734 (0.4.8, 0.4.9pre1) => huffyuv is proposed as a XdTV supported codec else ffvhuff &  huffyuv is proposed with XdTV.

(shtrom@users.sourceforge.net):
- little patch (1079591) to be able to go back to the previously selected channel using my remote control.

xawdecode-1.9.1 (04/14/2004)

Summary:
A lot of xaw GUI additions and updates were made. BSD and non-i386/bigendian
Linux systems are now supported. The XviD 1.0 and FFmpeg CVS 1032 build 4708
codecs are now supported. Xinerama is now supported. xscreensaver is now
managed. Memory copy management was improved. Fullscreen mode was fixed.
An option to edit/view any record scripts was added.

ADD:
- src/channel.c src/memecpy.c src/memcpy.h: (CuC + Jemino)

    New functions to optimize memory copy (4 categories FPU, MMX, MMXEXT and
    SSE are proposed). For each category several different
    bloc sizes are tested. The CPU profit depend on CPU L1 cache, and could reach 20%.

    Add version = x.y.z in memcpy_method file to probe memcpy methods when a new xdTV
    version is released.

      Thanks to them. Take into account patch #906743 (memcpy improvement)

- src/divx.c src/grab-avi.c: (Alain)

    Support of XviD 1.0

- src/divx_ui.c src/divx.c src/channel.c: (Mat)

    ffmpeg cvs support (tested on a ffmpeg 1032 - build 4708)

UPDATE:
- ./Xawdecode.ad: (Pingus)

      All keyboard shortcuts updated: All of them are now accessible
      from all GUIs: TV, Main Options, Mozaic Channels, Channel Editor, Video Recorder
    Options and Audio Recorder Options

- src/main.c src/divx.c src/divx.h src/divx_ui.c: (Pingus + Alain)

      it's now possible to write, into the DivX GUI, a simple path: in that case the avi
    file name will be movie-channel-date-time.avi, or a complete file path:
    for example path/filename.avi.
      With this 2nd method, when the file reaches the 2Gb/4Gb limit (or when there's
      a new http client) filename.avi becomes filename_2.avi.
      Record filename is now made by the function get_filename in divx.c

- src/channel.c src/divx.c src/divx_ui.c src/divx_ui.h: (Alain)

    Fusion of divx.filename and divx_file_path

- xawdecode_record.sh: (Cyriac)

      Added option to edit/view record scripts and tests in
      order to check binaries existence (grep, sed, wc, at, cron, bash2, ...).
      Added explanation to setup sudo to shutdown computer.
      Bugs corrected (recording path, editing option, ...).

- src/divx_ui.c src/divx_ui.h src/channel.c: (Pingus)

      Add into DivX GUI 2 new buttons: divx_delay_sign
      (the delay between Audio and Video could be negative or positive) and divx_delay
    (value between 0 to 500 ms)

- src/divx_ui.c src/divx_ui.h src/divx.h src/main.c Xawdecode.ad: (Pingus)

      Split DivX GUI in two GUI: one about video and the other about audio.
    It could be possible to access Video GUI from Audio one (and "vice versa").
    keyboard shortcut:  Alt+R => launch Video Recorder Options, Ctrl+R
    => launch Audio Recorder Options. These two GUI could also
      be launched from Main Options GUI.

- Xawdecode.ad: (Pingus)

    Now channels GUI is renamed in "Mozaic Channels",
    Options GUI is renamed in Main Options GUI
    "Mozaic Channels" window has now a better size.

- Xawdecode.ad: (Pingus)

    In Path field, select text and use "Delete / Suppr" keyboard key now works!

- Xawdecode.ad: (Pingus)

    Define useful shortcuts into the Path Text Widget: escape, delete, end line,
      beginning line, ctrl+c ctrl+v ctrl+x shift+insert ctrl+insert etc...

- src/xawdecode.xpm xawdecode-16.png xawdecode-32.png xawdecode-48.png: (Pingus)

    Update xdtv icons:
      add a small tux from GPL pictures (http://da-flow.tk). Remove antennas from xpm icon.

src/grab-avi.c: (Alain)

    In debug mode, display audio properties of the file

- xawdecode.1 src/main.c alevt/alevt_main.c alevt/vt901-01.out xawdecode_alevt-cap.1 (Pingus)
  xawdecode_alevt.1 Makefile.am xawdecode.spec.in:

    It's now possible to add all AleVT specific arguments with this xdTV switch -alevt_arg
    Don't forget to write AleVT arguments between two quotation marks (i.e. "").
    Thanks to qwerty <v50@nm.ru> St. Petersburg, Russia to report this problem.
    -vbi / -oldbttv / -newbttv swiths shouldn't and could't be used!

    Alevt with Hellenic set (Greek support): add patch from http://go.to/sl45sms
    (thanks to the authors)
    To use it: xawdecode -alevt_arg "-charset el"

FIX:
- src/channel.c src/main.c: (Alain)

      little change for the config save: the default settings    does not depend
    on the current config.
    The new rule is:
      "The main default parameters (norm, capture and source) can only be modified
    through xdTV GUI if only no channel are defined (in the xawdecoderc).
    If only one channel is defined, these parameters will be written in each section
    of each selected channel (only if they are different from the main default
    parameters."

    Voici la nouvelle règle:
    Les paramétres généraux proposés par défaut sont modifiables via la GUI si et
      seulement si aucune chaine n'est définie dans le RC. Sitôt une chaine définie,
      il n'est alors plus possible de modifier les choix généraux (via la GUI).
      Le paramétrage de la norme, de la capture ou de la source s'inscrit alors dans
      la section de la chaîne sélectionnée si l'un d'eux est différent des paramétres
      généraux proposés par défaut."

- src/wmhooks.c src/main.c xawdecode.1: (TrueLenny + Pingus + Brian Craft)

      Auto switch resolution (useful for overlay mode; use Fullscreen = *** x ****)
      is repair (new method).
      Thanks to TrueLenny to propose us a solution.
      This patch works well with KDM, FluxBox, BlackBox, IceWM, AfterStep, fvwm2
    fvwm1 and sawfish. This patch doesn't work correctly with Metacity.

      Read this message about FULLSCREEN problem and Metacity:
      http://mail.gnome.org/archives/wm-spec-list/2003-February/msg00001.html

      As Metacity insists on putting a title bar, Brian Craft propose a patch to xawtv
    (applied here to xdTV):

      "Looks like no one is willing to deal with xawtv and metacity not playing nicely
       wrt fullscreen mode.
      Metacity insists on putting a title bar in the way.
      xawtv attempts to address these issues with the wm-off-by option, which works
      by shifting the window on the desktop until the title bar isn't showing. But
      the window is placed at 0,0, and moving it up to get rid of the title bar would
      put the title bar off the desktop. Metacity refuses to do this.

      Here's a workaround. If a wm-off-by setting is negative, it moves the viewport
      forward instead of the window backward. Thus the window is never moved off the
      edge of the desktop."

      => to use it try to configure wm-off-by = +0-Y in your xawdecoderc
    (in my RC Y=-25)
    To use the old XFree switching method, use the-oldswitch parameter.

  is higher than the current video resolution card .

- src/main.c src/divx.c src/divx.h src/avilib.c src/avilib.h ./xawdecode.1:            (Alain)
  Add option -rec_filename (default=divx_path/movie-channel-date.avi).
  Make recording to pipes possible, try this method:
    mkfifo /tmp/fifo.avi
    xawdecode -rec_filename /tmp/fifo.avi -e record &
    mplayer -ni -cache 8192 /tmp/fifo.avi

- ./configure.in ./xawdecode.1 src/avilib.c src/channel.c src/commands.c src/divx.c         (Alain)
  src/divx.h src/divx_ui.c src/grab-avi.c src/main.c src/x11.c:
  It can be possible to record without any specific video codec.
  To use it try this switch : -rec_codec uncompressed
  For Example, try this method:
    mkfifo /tmp/fifo.avi
    xawdecode -rec_width 640 -rec_height 288 -rec_vcodec uncompressed\
    -rec_chg on -rec_mp3 off -e "volume mute; record" \

- ./xawdecode_http.sh ./xawdecode-gen.spec.in ./xawdecode.spec.in ./debian/xawdecode.files    (Alain)
  ./debian/xawdecode.files.in Makefile.am
  This script allows you to create an http server which provides the video of your TV-card.
  To have more robust avi reading, even on network streams, you can try this method:
    sh xawdecode_http.sh
    xawdecode -avi http://localhost:63427 -noplugin

  !!!!!!!!!!    This method is just for fun, do not use for real usage    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  !!!!!!!!!!                Prefer the -rec_http_port option            !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- src/main.c src/grab-avi.c xawdecode.1: Option -avinoaudioout added.                (Alain)

        -rec_height 288 -rec_mp3 off -noplugin & \
    sleep 3
    xawdecode -avi http://localhost:63427 -noplugin

  Have a look at this option: "-rec_chg on". If you use it, you can change channel from
  a far xdTV AVI client on the xdTV AVI server. ( src/main.c src/http.c src/grab-avi.c
  src/channel.c src/channel.h better channel change by http client (Napo demand))

  When someone try to use xawdecode_cmd "keypad X" command, where X is number between 0 and 9,
  xawdecode doesn't wait for 5 secondes to get another number. So I can't reach a channel
  which number is on 2 digits".
  To resolve this problem, you must use these switchs:
      -doublekey on/off : enables double keys (default=on if there are more than 10 stations)
      -doublekey_firstisone on/off : indicates if the first station has number 1, and not 0,
     needed for doublekey (default=off except if lirc-key-1 is mapped to keypad 0 or the
     hotkey of the first channel is 1, KP_1 or KP_End)

- ./xawdecode_record.sh:                                    (Cycyx)
     - Fix a bug: it's now possible to launch a record without being under X
       (only with an xdm|gdm|kdm|wdm open session: only if xhost is correctely used).
     - By default divx_path is now used to save records (from xawdecoderc file).
       ${HOME} is used if a problem appears.

  grabbed frames; To desactivate capt_width use: -force_capt_width 0, -force_capt_height 0 (Alain)
- Add new option: -subpageno number | all | (Number could be: typically 888, 777, 150 ..; default=888).
  First try to make AleVT produce the subtitles (this option does not need AleVT to be run.
  subtitles is stopped after an AleVT start or stop)
  If you use "all", all the teletext pages which look like subtitles are displayed with
  their number, so use this if you want to guess the pageno of the subtitles. (Alain)
- Add new option: -avibench | (requires the -avi option) Does not delay between two frames
  (read AVI File very quickly), stops when the end of the avi is reached and diplays
  some statistics on CPU usage. (Alain)
- Add new option: sub on|off activates/deactivates subtitles (default=off) (Alain)

    - Added expert mode in menu.
    - Bug fixed (when listing scheduled records, then setting a new schedule, the channel
      parameters wasn't re-initialized).
    - Added time format in questions.
    - Changed -d to -D for avi directory
    - Added -d for recording date
    - Added date support in order to schedule a record any day (no more 24h limit)
    - Come back of the 'quick' option, in order to automate scheduling (CGI, scripts, ...).
      Some optimizations.

UPDATE:
- replace recchg by rec_chg (Pingus)
- mixer changes (Alain)
- update debian folder (Napo)
- better startup for new xdTV user (Pingus)
- now cur_volume is in % (Alain)
- update xawdecode wizard : add a new button to launch xawdecode_record.sh. Detete old one
  about old method to see subtitles on screen. This method always works, but the new one through
  the GUI is better (Pingus)
- Update xosd lib support: work with standard library or patched library.
  (Mat will upload patched library when it will be necessary)
      - Subtitles are now on 3 lines
    - defaut subtitles font has changed
    - OSD subtitles doesn't move anymore if the window is moved
      (this function didn't work as well as it have to: it must be rewritten) (Mat)


xawdecode-1.8.0 (14/09/2003)
New name for xawdecode: xawdecode become xawdecode [xdTV]

FIX:
- Change to impose that the recording size cannot be greater than 768x576 in pal/secam and 640x480 in ntsc. (Alain)
- Switching between NTSC and PAL is now safe (Alain)
- More correct code when some problems occur in divx_init (Alain)
- Correction bug with RGB15/RGB16 and recent divx4linux (Alain)
- Correction flip bug with RGB32 and XViD (again..) (Alain)
- Change to impose that the recording fps cannot be greater than 25fps in pal/secam and 29.97fps in ntsc. (Alain)
- Teletext: little change to make "-novbi" option clean (Alain)
- With XVideo the size of the window is not locked during recording and has not the size of the avi file (Alain)
- Correction of one bug in overlay when the message "ioctl VIDIOCSYNC: Bad file descriptor" was sometimes displayed (Alain)
- Configure.in file:disables ALSA by default. (the use of ALSA was used only to mute, and in it causes too many problems) (Alain)
  => Modification in spec.in files to follow this modification:
        - if you want to have alsa support: rpm -ta xawdecode-1.8.0.tar.gz with alsa
        - if you want to have xosd support: rpm -ta xawdecode-1.8.0.tar.gz with xosd (Pingus)

ADD:
- Add options to xawdecode: (Alain)

    * -rec_height
        - examples:
          rec_width 320 -rec_height 0  -->  320x240
        rec_width 0 -rec_height 576  -->  768x576
    * -nbufs | sets the number of kernel-buffered frames (default=3).
    * -capt_width width | sets the width of the grabbed frames; if width is zero then the width is the width of the     X11 window (default) (needs XVideo)
    * -capt_height height | sets the height of the grabbed frames (needs XVideo)
    * -v4l1 | forces the old v4l1 driver. It is not recommended because drivers which provide v4l2 are more unstable in v4l1 mode.
    * -recchg | allows channel change during recording
    * -rec_delay | set recording delay between audio and video in seconds (default = 0.00 second). Value can negative or  positive. The delay will always be between value-gap and value+gap. Use this option if you notice that there is always the same A/V delay in your movies, but normally 0.00 is always fine.
    * -force_visual |force_visual StaticGray|PseudoColor|TrueColor forces to use an X11 visual. Useful on 8-bits display to choose between gray and color.
    * -force_depth | force_depth 8|15|16|24|32  forces to use the specified X11 depth.
    * -avi filename.avi | reads frames from filename.avi. (only used for testing, only work with XVID)
    * -xosd | use xosd library to display a better osd. (still in developpement)

- Add an option to xawdecode_v4l-conf: (Alain)
    * -1 (for the -v4l1 option of xawdecode)

- Add an option to xawdecode_cmd: (Alain)
    * xosd (toggles xosd use for osd display).

- Add support of libxosd: an OSD X lib better than our OSD http://www.ignavus.net/software.html (Mat)
    - New configure options: (Alain)
        --enable-xosd enables libxosd
        --disable-xosd disables libxosd (default)
        --with-xosd-config=LIBXOSD_CONFIG (Location of xosd-config)
    - make move osd when the windows move (Mat)
    - The color of OSD could be modified into the xawdecoderc file like this: (Mat)
        xosd_color = red
        xosd_font = -xxl-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
        xosd_vtxfont = -xxl-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
    - xosd could follow the xawdecode [xdTV] windows. To do that you have to patch the last 2.2.2 xosd lib with this file:
       http://xawdecode.sourceforge.net/download/libxosd_diff.tar.bz2 (Mat)
    - Xosd is not used by default, to install xawdecode [xdTV] with xosd  support run configure script with the "--enable-xosd" option, and execute xawdecode [xdTV] with "-xosd" option. (Alain)

- Add support of 256 colors display using the HI240 palette of bttv cards. (Alain)

- Recorder: (Alai
