User-side requirements
- working hotkeys in embed, windowed, or fullscreen mode
- Partially related to GUI, but some work will have to be done, see lower
- ability to position subtitles virtually anywhere (eg outside the picture)
- Ok, planned. See vout_render, cropping/padding
- screen-resolution OSD
- Planned, see subpictures
- ability to switch from embed to windowed vouts with the mouse
- screenshots
- Already existing ... Want something more ? Answer: yes. The current architecture is meant for interactive use, but is not really usable from an external application embedding VLC (cf MediaControlAPI for an example). Screenshot functionality should at least provide :
- the ability to use a destination other than a file (think embedded)
- a small cache of pictures to take into account the reaction time
- precise timestamp of the snapshot (in movie time)
- Replace image video output cleanly
- Already existing ... Want something more ? Answer: yes. The current architecture is meant for interactive use, but is not really usable from an external application embedding VLC (cf MediaControlAPI for an example). Screenshot functionality should at least provide :
- close helper vouts without stopping the stream
- More or less planned
- chained video filters
- on-the-fly AR correction
- enable/disable video filters on the fly
- Should work, currently buggy (suxxor thread suxxing). Planned
- stream video filters with stream output (eg start a stream, deinterlace it, invert the colors, distort the picture, add a logo and a rss feed and stream the result to your grandmother).
- Screensaver desactivation
- Screensaver output : maybe having sub-module with screensaver capatibilities and a way to ask the core to use a screensaver module instead of a regular vout module
