Working on Video Filter

Postby ErichJason » 12 Nov 2013 03:45

Hello, I am interested in helping VLC. I saw that there was a miniproject section on the wiki, and saw that a project was an "old movie" video filter feature that I would definitely be interested in creating. I have never worked with VLC before, and I think this would be a good starting point for me. I looked through some of the video filters on this page, to get a general idea for the code structure: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=tr ... deo_filter. What would be the best way to attack this project? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to helping out with VLC!

Okay. Is there another filter type someone has requested that was not on the projects page?

There are many possible ideas. Look at the mpv or mplayer repo to get ideas.

I have been working on making my own filter, and think I am close to having it working. I am having some trouble implementing it however. I was looking at how the sepia filter fits into the code, and was trying to find out how it was added to the effects and filters ->video effects menu. I was looking in the modules/gui/qt4/ directory, and got into the menus.cpp, and also dialogs_provider.cpp. Where else would I need to add to the code? When I was looking at sepia, I made some changes to modules/video_filter/sepia.c that should've made the filter not work properly, but my changes had no effect, so I became confused as to where to actually look at the code. Thank You
