SoC 2008/EVR video output module
As part of SoC_2008 I (Kaarlo Räihä aka VLC_help) will try to implement EVR (Enhanced Video Renderer) video output module for VLC media player. EVR will hopefully be default video output module for Windows Vista but it might also work with Windows XP if the .NET Framework 3.0 is installed (it seems that no XP support is coming). EVR should guarantee tearing free output that also works with Aero.
If I have some extra time, I will try to add some features to Direct3D and OpenGL output module (shaders, rotating video etc.) and possible fix other Windows (Vista) related issues/bugs.
Current status of project
Stage 2 under work. (someone has to verify that they can also compile)
Git
http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-vlchelp.git;a=summary Doesn't compile or work, so the only useful stuff is in contribs folder.
Statistics
- Code: 0.177 kloc (for the output module only, doesn't include random patches, contribs or proto code)
- Comments: 0.125 kloc
- Total: 0.302 kloc
Planned absence / Vacations / Holidays
Midsummer days (19.6.2008 - 22.6.2008)
Timetable
Planned
Coding will start on 26th of May. There should be working module hopefully on first week of July (1st July - 6th July). Coding ends on 25th of August when my studies at university continue. Documentation and some support will continue after GSoC if needed.
Stage 1: Use Visual Studio to create EVR sample code (one image, nothing fancy).
Stage 2: Get that same code compile under Cygwin environment (and make sure someone else can also compile it).
Stage 3a: Implement EVR module to VLC. Stage 3b: Test EVR implementation (include various stress tests)
Week 21 (19.5.2008 - 25.5.2008)
- Soft start (GIT stuff, serious IRC chatting, random patches, recruit beta testers)
Week 22 (26.5.2008 - 1.6.2008)
- Start planning
- make/build changes
- Write some proto code for EVR test
- test some EVR samples found around internet (mostly MSDN)
Week 23 (2.6.2008 - 8.6.2008)
- Get stage 1 done
- Finish Win32 http proxy patch
- Write better proto code
- Get my git branch basecode updated
Week 24 (9.6.2008 - 15.6.2008)
- Complete stage 1
- Start stage 2
- test more EVR samples found around internet and Windows SDK
Week 25 (16.6.2008 - 22.6.2008)
- Complete stage 2
- Start stage 3a
Week 26 (23.6.2008 - 29.6.2008)
- Complete stage 2
- Start stage 3a
Week 27 (30.6.2008 - 6.7.2008)
- Complete stage 2
- Start stage 3a
Week 28 (7.7.2008 - 13.7.2008)
- Complete stage 2
- Start stage 3a

- Stage 1 started
- Simple proto test (failed)
- First git push
Week 23 (2.6.2008 - 8.6.2008)
- Wiki updated
