Rules

Payment

The bounties are paid to a legal entity that can create an invoice. It can be done by an independent worker too.

List of bounties

VLC bugs

AC-3 Volume

1000 €

Fix correctly the AC-3 volume issue. See #3994.

The issue can come from a mis-integration with liba52, or could come from some channels being wrongly discarded.

This must work on Windows.

Screencast

500? € Currently the screencasting is poor:

No interface to correctly select both
No loopback on Windows and Mac

* Need to check that all input are using mdate()-based PTS

HTTP/AVI seeking

500? € VLC behaves poorly with AVI over http connections. This is true for mp4 too. MPlayer does it way better.

See #2151.

VLC Features

libVLC API for filters

1000? € This task consist on doing a correct set of libVLC API for audio filters and video filters.

This should include equalizer configuration.

This would be useful for phonon, tomahawk and other libVLC application.

libVLC API for smem

1000 € Create a libVLC API to be able to use smem. This might include a libVLC API for sout.

libVLC API for imem

200 € Create a libVLC API for imem to map to a libvlc_media_t object, in order to use it like the rest of libVLC.

ARM optimizations

ARM optimisation for core and important filters.

Ideas:

Audio conversions
Chroma conversions
Transform filter

Local resampling

1500 € Stop audio resampling for local files (???).

RTP packetization

Each item: 100 €

Opus
WMA
WMV
VC-1
VP8

See #380, #1289, #1323, #6443, #5178 and #6505

libVLCcore SD API and Upnp

200 € The Upnp SD is very slow because it needs to fetch recusively all nodes. This needs to change.

This task will likely need a change of API for the Service Discoveries.

See #4437.

DVB scanning

1000 € In order to compete with TV software, we need some DVB scanning, working on all platforms. See #7248.

HDMI pass-thru

1000 € For other codecs than the normal AC-3 and DTS.

See #4940 and other.

Preferences for LUA extensions

1200 € Be able to add preferences for LUA extensions.

Downloader for LUA extensions from addons

1000 € See libattica.

Libavcodec bugs

Bug -mt on Mpeg-4 video

300 € Fix the Mpeg-4 resolution change for -mt in libavcodec. See #6579 and #6533.

Bug -mt on H.264 video

300 € Fix the H.264 resolution change for -mt in libavcodec. See #7306.

VC-1 interlacing

500 € Fix VC-1 interlaced and adding missing B-frames support in libavcodec. See #5887.

Libavcodec features

MSS2

1000 € Add a MSS2 Decoder in libavcodec. See #750.

G2M

1000 € Add a G2M2/G2M3/G2M4 Decoder in libavcodec. See #2327.

VoxWare

500 € Add a VoxWare MetaSound Decoder in libavcodec.

DTS-HD Master Audio

3000 € Add a DTS-HD Master Audio Decoder.

This can be either in libavcodec or in libdca, but it must work in VLC in the end, including 8 channels. This is probably the XLL extension to code.

BD+

2000 € Work on libbdplus to play BD+ BD in libbluray.
