- README.fr: Updated to reflect changes.
-
- 2003-3-3 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * eMoviX-0.8.0pre6:
- initrd: fixed a silly mistake in the isapnp autodetection script.
- kernel: rebuilt from scratch. Now MatroxFB and Matrox TV-out seems to work!
- scripts: Balazs added support for playing of non-eMoviX CD with audio/video
- files in their root. The standard label has been brought back to vesa for
- slow CPU with non MPlayer-friendly video card (fbdev seems way too heavy for
- those machines) and the "-framedrop" is now always added by default after
- a Balazs suggestion.
-
- 2003-3-1 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * eMoviX-0.8.0pre5:
- initrd: pcimodules and isapnpmodules binaries have been substituted by shell scripts
- in rc.S. **Hopefully now ISA audio cards autodetection will work...**
- awk has been added since it is used in the isapnpmodules script.
- MPlayer: a patch has been applied to let fbdev work when the system is booted from
- the new floppy image (/dev/tty -> /dev/console since /dev/tty seem to be dead when booting
- from the floppy); dvd and audiocd support has been added at the cost of ~100Kb.
- Kernel: MatroxG550 patch applied.
- Scripts: movix.pl now supports "aliases": if called as "dvd", "vcd" or "acd" it searches
- & plays DVDs, VCDs and AudioCDs. This implied just a few corrections in the movix.pl code.
- The "-framedrop" option has been added for the "sdl" vo driver to eliminate the audio/video
- delay.
- A "help" mechanism has been introduced by Balazs to allow interationalization for
- the "user-friendly" eMoviX help at the prompt.
- Autoconf: now the version number in mxhelp files is automatically set by the "make install"
- command.
- Languages: Portuguese translation of boot messages added.
-
- 2003-2-5 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * eMoviX-0.8.0pre4:
- Added Balazs patches to let work cards that need OSS emulation, to let TV work
- and to make the prompt more user-friendly for MPlayer novices.
- Fixed the error that would not set the screen centered for slow CPUs and would
- not let certain Rage cards use the vidix module.
- Added Dxr3/H+ modules that were forgotten in pre3.
- Added vidix option for Trident CyberBlade cards in movix.pl.
- Added boot messages in nl, de and hu and the full README.nl.
-
- 2003-1-30 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * eMoviX-0.8.0pre3:
- System: alsa9 upgraded to 0.9.0rc7
- MPlayer: upgraded to 0.90rc3, included support for QuickTime playback, applied
- fixes for the vesa bug [no more blank screens after the playback!] and a fbdev
- bug [mplayer doesn't crash anymore while playing playlists!].
- These were my first contributions the the MPlayer projects itself, wow!
- Scripts: now the default video driver is fbdev, by far the best on the console.
- Many improvements have been made to movix.pl, in particular for handling
- input from the boot and from the .movixrc file and for mplayer options
- with the fbdev and sdl drivers.
- A few options have been also added to mkmovixiso for setting the default
- boot label, including QT DLLs, and a few other parameters.
- Internationalization: the boot messages are now available in a few extra languages.
-
- 2002-12-21 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * eMoviX-0.8.0pre2: added manpage.txt for the mplayer Help menu entry.
- The "-geometry" option has been added to the mplayer options to make sure
- that the fbdev driver shows the movie at the right place. Set ffmpeg12
- as default mpg codec to avoid the vesa:vidix - mpeg12 crash.
- Added "-nooverlapsub" to mplayer's option.
-
- 2002-12-20 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * eMoviX-0.8.0pre1:
- System: added alsa9 modules, libs and progs. alsamixer substituted
- nmixer in the second console. Fixed stupid problem with the movix
- script in /etc/profile.
- MPlayer: upgraded to 0.90rc1, added support for alsa9 and the menu feature.
- Kernel: added back support for Bt848 tv cards and lirc to be able to use
- the Hauppauge remote. This required also to add the net support as lirc
- uses it :(
- Scripts: added support for new boot options; added instructions to unload
- audio modules not used by the card to minimize the amount of RAM used;
- added lines to load the lirc daemon. Added a few updates to the bugReport
- script.
-
- 2002-12-3 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * eMoviX-0.7.0: changed name to eMoviX!
- Kernel updated to 2.4.20. Additional console added to make easier
- using nmixer. Script files put outside the initrd.gz to make easy
- fixing and developing.
- Eliminated support for net, tv and dvd now that the new MoviX package
- is available.
-
- 2002-11-21 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.6.1pre2: mplayer updated to 0.90pre10. SDL, arts, lirc, TV
- and straming support has been added to it. SDL&arts libraries and TV
- modules have been added but net modules&net support is not yet
- available. New boot labels "vesaFB" and "sdl" have been added.
-
- 2002-11-05 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.6.1pre1: nmixer has been substituted with a working copy.
- "-double" option added to mplayer options to avoid subtitles blinking.
-
- 2002-11-01 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.6.0: MPlayer and SysLinux have been updated to versions 0.90pre9
- and 2.00 respectively. A console mixer [nmixer] has been added. Support
- for DVD, wmv & asf formats and for playlists has been added to mplayer.
- Now mkmovixiso takes all files to include as last arg without any flag.
- Several small fixes have been made to mkmovixiso and movix.pl.
- Many mplayer parameters have been added for the "aa" label.
- Boot parameters LIST, VO_DRIVER and MP_OPTIONS have been added.
- The ".mplayer" dir that was used to contain the distro fonts has been
- renamed "mplayer" to avoid problems with Nero.
- Added a few log messages in the debug script.
-
- 2002-10-20 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.6pre3: MPlayer has been recompiled with smarter flags and using gcc 3.2
- as suggested by Jeff Moe and with a little help by Arpi [mplayer creator].
- MPlayer now should take advantage of specific CPU flags [mmx, 3dnow, sse etc]
- detecting them automatically, so that sw acceleration should be much more effective
- now. Support for Dxr3/H+ cards and for the "aa" (ascii-art) driver has been added.
- MoviX MPlayer configuration flags are available in the src directory.
- Also the kernel configuration has been modified to make vmlinuz as small as possible
- (so now all FB except the vesa one are loaded as modules) to make possible to produce
- a MoviX floppy bootdisk. The kernel config used for MoviX is available in the src dir.
- A stupid bug in mkmovixcd concerning isolinux.bin has been fixed.
- A patch for Rage128 has been applied to mplayer so maybe now it will display again
- movies in full colors.
- The movix.pl script has been updated to take care of all the new stuff.
-
- 2002-10-13 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.6pre2: An autoconf/automake mechanism has been finally built to install
- easily the MoviX package.
- A new Perl script called "mkmovixiso" has been created to make easier
- the creation of a MoviX isoimage; the only documentation available up to now
- is available running "mkmovixiso --help" after the installation.
- Many little but significant fixes and improvements were made thanks to Jose' Fandinho.
- In particular a debug script has been added to make easier putting lots of
- important system info in a floppy & now the movix script is able to select the
- AGP card in systems where an AGP and a PCI cards are present at the same time.
- For easy reading, a copy of the movix script has been put in the "src" directory.
-
- 2002-10-11 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.6: trying to add SCSI support. MoviX should now be able to support CDROMs
- connected to SCSI cards with the following chipsets: Acard, Adaptec AIC7xxx and
- SYM53C8XX. MoviX MPlayer now has been compiled with specific support for 3Dfx Voodoo*.
-
- 2002-10-8 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.5.1: made a few fixes in movix.pl: recent Matrox cards now should visualize
- through the "mga" driver and CD-ROM speeds are limited to 12X to reduce noise.
- Support for i810/815 has been added in the MoviX kernel but I could not verify yet
- whether it really works or not. Got rid of the annoying "MPlayer" green label on top
- of the screen when using the "vesa" driver (hope MPlayer developers won't get upset,
- but when you watch a movie you want to see only the movie ;).
-
- 2002-10-3 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.5: finally the number of kernels has been brought to one; now it is the
- script that chooses the right driver for the video card, so hopefully nobody will
- have anymore to use any label.
- In any case two labels have been left to allow the user to force the use of the
- "vesa" driver and of specific FB drivers, if any.
- To improve the customizability of MoviX a directory ".mplayer" has been left out from
- the initrd image. It contains the font directory, so that the user can substitute
- his own fonts to the default ones before making the iso image. In the same directory
- it is possible to insert an mplayer config file to customize mplayer's behaviour.
- A couple of option to optimize playback quality and speed have been added to the
- movix script after suggestions by Jose' Fandinho.
- The directory isolinux has been moved with all others MoviX ingredients inside
- the dir "src".
- Last but not least, now at the end of the movie a note will give instructions to the
- user on how play another movie without rebooting.
-
- 2002-09-30 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.4.1: this is mainly a bug-fixing release. The booting labels have been
- simplified respect to 0.4 and the choice between hardware or software driver (i.e.
- whether or not vidix must be activated in mplayer) is again done inside the movix.pl
- script (so GeForce again works with the default boot label). Optimization for CD
- playback have been added to movix.pl and a "-cache 8192" mplayer option has been added
- following a suggestion by Jose' Fandinho.
- Many thanks also to Krzysztof Kajkowski for providing a set of eastern fonts that
- should work with both iso-8859-2 and WINDOWS-1250 encodings!
- Finally, ogg/vorbis support has been added to mplayer.
-
- 2002-09-28 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.4: first of all, mplayer version has been updated from 0.90pre6 to 0.90pre8.
- Now besides the FB interface is also available the Vesa MPlayer
- interface, that should allow more cards to work. Besides, support for eastern
- languages has been added (but I still have to find out how to add more languages
- at the same time: after trying hard to make hebrew & polish coexist I gave up...)
- and the movix.pl script has been changed a lot, making finally mplayer play
- sequencially all movie files on the CD!
- Finally, Matrox support has been enhanced through the mga mplayer interface.
-
- 2002-09-21 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.3:
- - added support for nvidia and sis chipsets (but they need to be checked!);
- - added search routine for the cdrom drive containing the movix cd;
- - fixed the routine that sets mplayer "-vo" flag depending on the video chipset;
- - redirected to /tmp/mplayer.log and /tmp/mplayer.err the output of mplayer
- for easier debugging;
- - eliminated the reboot command in case of audio/video problems (the movie will be
- played even if no audio card has been recognized)
-
- 2002-09-06 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.2: just a few minor fixes. Mainly, to avoid mplayer playing failures with
- old cards (S3, G100, Millennium II) now the video codec called from mplayer is by
- default "fbdev" unless the card has one of the following chips (in which case the
- codec is "fbdev:vidix"):
- Matrox G200/400/450/550, Ati Mach64, Ati Rage128, Ati Radeon, NVidia.
- The old logo has been superseded by a new nice logo by ScriptaManent.
-
- 2002-09-02 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
- * MoviX-0.1: first public version of MoviX.
-
