What kind of effort was made and what's the reason of failure?

Did anybody try bringing in test automation to VLC, especially regression test? We know there are too many new features and changes that potentially could block the basis function without notice, if the automation regression test is there.

I used the same environment to build 2.2.0, and it works fine for DVD. However it does not work for latest version.

Is there any new dependancy or packages?

Hi, I found the recent development built (for example, with the commit b8c639dd6c19) can not play DVD at all. The main menu of DVD can be shown and the menu items can be highlighted, but when I click any of the menu item, it does not have any response. I tried to trace and debug, and I found out the...

Patch sent.

I adjusted the way to share the subtitle data and it makes more sense now. And I added the function of prev/next sentence, repeat current sentence, based on the subtitle data. The brief idea is: define the data structure of "main subtitle" in the input thread internal structure. Add APIs t...

What you should do is probably a new text_renderer module that could output the raw data. Do you mean that when rendering the subtitle, output the raw data of that subtitle at the same time? By doing this, can the interface module access all subtitle data randomly? What I want to do is that the int...

* The interface module should have a way to access the parsed subtitle data. After a digging the code, I found out the following piece of code shall be able to access the subtitle data from the interface module (like qt4): THEMIM->getInput() -> p->slave[0]->p_demux->p_sys Please comment if this is ...

I am trying to understand the related code and figure out the way to achieve the features I mentioned. My rough idea is to enhance the QT interface module (or in the future, clone and develop an indepedent one). * Add a text box showing all the subtitles, and highlight the current sentence. * The in...

Let's make it more simple now to just the two basic feature I mentioned. Say, if we have a text based subtitle file with the video file there. If we add two buttons in the interface, one is to skip to next sentence, and the other to reverse to the last sentence. Isn't possible that when the button i...

the subtitle decoder does not pass the raw data.

I don't quite understand. Sorry. You mean the decoder does not pass the raw data of what?

I know it is not a trivial, but I really want to try. What did you mean "the subtitles not exported". I mean for the videos with independant subtitle file, we can use it and build the above navigation features I metioned. If the video is with subtitles in its own, for sure it can not be ut...

Just curious isn't this interesting to anybody?

Many people watches movies/series to learn different languages, and there are tons of sources of this kind of material. Most of the time the learners depend on the caption as a help of learning. The mode of watching the video for language learning should be quite different than that of just entertai...
