Creating new modules (for Windows) without compilation

[arof3000]

friends,

I would like to create a new demux module without recompile the entire player. is it possible?

if positive, is there any Wiki entry explaining how to achieve this objective? if not, could someone explain me and I assume myself the task of creating this wiki entry.

Yes, but this is quite difficult, for Windows.
Compiling VLC on Windows is not that difficult.

http://wiki.videolan.org/OutOfTreeCompile , anyway

j-b,

thanks for your reply. I already rebuild VLC on Windows changing a demux (I'm studing it before start contributing).

But, unfortunatelly, my own version appears to be much unstable relative to the official build, even without any changes.
I got latest contrib from your personal folder.

Llogging isn't working when I force verbosity -vvv and ---extraintf=logger on command line.

i cleared %appdata%\vlc from official 1.1.0 build..

is there any way to get the exact parameters used to generate the official build for windows?

thanks

1.1 is unstable by essence, since it is in development.

[arof3000]

Sorry j-b, I meant 1.0.1

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Are you sure that your version has all the modules ?

[arof3000]

I followed wiki instructions (MSYS) and downloaded latest contribs from http://people.videolan.org/~jb/Contribs/.

maybe should I use a specific contrib to build this 1.0.1 version?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

No, that should work fine.

[arof3000]

j-b,

unfortunatelly, following these procedures, I found that video colors are diferent from when I use media player or other player.

look that first time when I tried, with 1.0.0 version and CYGWIN (now I'm using MSYS) I had same behavior, event when running the software on other computer.

any idea ?

thanks, lex

All video outputs?

[VLC_help]

Known issue for Direct3D video output.

Vlc_help,

When using production version (1.0.0 or 1.0.1) it plays well my AVI videos (colors are "ok")!

Is this a known issue just for development versions?

[VLC_help]

Is this a known issue just for development versions?

Yep, 1.1.0 has this issue.

[arof3000]

VLC_Help,

Is there any version that doesn't produces this problem?

thanks,
Lex

p.s.: should we mix the forum threads as we are talking about same issue on two diferent places?

[arof3000]

*I mean, should we merge the forum threads

[VLC_help]

Separate threads for separate issues is always best option.
