Modified Czech subtitles fonts with the Vlastimil Pospichal ones
MPlayer fonts are now stored in src/mplayer and are copied in the /tmp dir
Win Codecs are now stored in src/mplayer/codecs
MPlayer is not linked anymore to libxvid since that library is used only for encoding

* MoviX-0.8.0pre3
System:
ALSA drivers updated to 0.9.1.
Samba 2.2.3a added to the distro for mounting samba volumes.
Scripts:
Added checks to avoid consuming too much RAM. This way QT DLLs, samba
and/or MPlayer character sets won't be loaded if the free RAM is not
enough.
Fixed the samba mount problem and the update on-the-fly of the mounted
volumes in the menu.
2003-3-12 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
* MoviX-0.8.0pre2.
Mplayer: upgraded to 0.90rc3.
System: added patch for Matrox TV-out; added support for all possible
SCSI controllers and all USB devices.

choose between ALSA [default] and OSS [patch by William Daniau]
Boot: added TV label and a good number of boot args.
System files: now rc.S should try to load all SCSI modules.
Binaries: added matrox and savage TV-out binaries, added a "true" find
binary to use the "-iname" option, added a few binaries provided by
William Daniau (pump,rexima,joe). The biggest binaries have been
squeezed with upx.
2002-12-26 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
* MoviX-0.8.0pre1.
Mplayer: upgraded to 0.90rc2 - added support for the new "menu" feature
and QuickTime videos.
System: OSS replaced with ALSA - added limited lirc support - added
support for all SCSI and NET cards supported by kernel 2.4.20.
Scripts: fixed many movix.pl bugs; added support for saving/loading
mplayer&movix options in/from a file.
System files: inittab starts now 3 consoles, the first with movix.pl,
the second with alsamixer and the third with a shell.
Boot: syslinux.cfg contains now 3 different labels for 3 different
vesaFB resolutions.
Binaries: added nvtv for NVidia TV-out.
2002-12-3 Roberto De Leo <peggish@users.sf.net>
* MoviX-0.7.0: the movix.pl script has been almost completely
re-written to include a console menu (the original MoviX package
is now called eMoviX) and part of it has been moved in the new
setHardware.pl script [to make it similar to the MoviX2 model].
Perl has been upgraded to 5.8.0 and the Curses and Curses::UI
have been added. The kernel has been upgraded to 2.4.20.
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.
