Revision as of 14:55, 5 June 2006
This is a list of small independent improvements to VLC.
These do not require advanced knowledge of VLC internals but they can still vastly improve many parts of VLC
For each project, we list a contact person, who knows the subject best. We generally are very often present on irc.videolan.org, chan #videolan, so please don't hesitate to drop by or to send a mail if you are interested in a given problem (our mail adresses are generally <nick>@videolan.org).
Contents
Network
RTCP support
Our RTSP implementation (for broadcasting and video on demand) does not support the RTCP protocol. This is a must to have a real support for RTSP. Some work has already been started, but there is still much to do.
Contact: JPSaman
Video
DirectX 9 video output
DirectX 9 features some improvements that we could use in our video output
Contact: Quovodis
Improvements to the X11 video output
Fullscreen support to improve .
Interfaces
Streaming profiles
This is a big subject, that has barely started. Interested persons will need to work closely with existing developers to implement this. Not much information is available yet. The idea is to make streaming very easy, and yet powerful by using parametrable profiles. These could be used either by the graphical interfaces or through HTTP/command line interfaces

Playlist
Improved Podcast support
Our current podcast support is very weak. We can read them, but that's all. We need a real infrastructure to handle them correctly. This will require some changes to the playlist code, so you will need to work closely with existing developers.
Improved ASX support
ASX is a playlist format used by Microsoft stuff. We can read it but we could do much better. More information is available at https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/20
Contact: Dnumgis
Disc probing
We currently have some miscellaneous code to detect discs (DVDs, Audio CDs, ...) but it's a bit scattered and it could be used much better in the playlist.
Contact: Zorglub
Misc
Subtitles autodetection
Our current subtitles autodetection feature is not very good, and far behind some other implementations.
The key problems should be identified and fixed. We already know we have many problems with encoding, but the detection features themselves seem to be weak.
We should also enable the subtitles when they are detected
