| | | | The existing short prefix, br://, was not very intuitive.

* Remove dvdnav support (DVD menus)wm42012-08-161-34/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the internal mplayer MPEG demuxer was removed (commit 1fde09db), the default demuxer when using dvdnav was set to libavformat. Now it turns out that this doesn't work with libavformat. It will terminate playback right after the audio runs out (instead of looping it like the video, or whatever it's supposed to do). I'm not sure what exactly the problem is, but since 1. even mplayer-svn can't handle DVD menus directly (missing highlights), 2. DVD menus are essentially worthless, and 3. I don't directly watch DVDs, don't bother with it and remove it. For basic playback, there's still libdvdread support. Also, use pkg-config for libdvdread, and drop support for in-tree libdvdread. Remove support for in-tree libdvdcss as well.

* manpage: add initial documentation about changeswm42012-08-071-0/+2
| | | | | | | Documents changes from mplayer-svn and mplayer2. Most of this should probably not be in the manpage, but on a website. But there is no website yet.
* Remove teletext supportwm42012-08-031-9/+0
| | | | | | | | Teletext requires special OSD support. Because I can't even test teletext, I can't restore support for it. Since teletext can be considered ancient and obscure, and since it doesn't make sense to keep the remaining teletext code without being able to use it, I'm removing it.
* stream: remove stream_cuewm42012-08-021-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | stream_cue, which provided the cue:// protocol handler, was extremely hacky and didn't even manage to play some samples I tried. Remove it, because it's plain unneeded. There is much better support for .cue files elsewhere: - libcdio can play pairs of .cue/.bin files: mplayer cdda:// --cdrom-device=your_cue_file.cue Note that if the .cue file is not accompanied by a .cue file, but an encoded file for example, this most likely won't work. - mplayer can play .cue files directly: mplayer your_cue_file.cue This works, even if the .cue file comes with encoded files that are not .bin . Note that if you play .bin files, mplayer will assume a specific raw audio format. If the format doesn't match, mplayer will play noise and destroy your speakers. Note that format mismatches are extremely common, because the endianness seems to be essentially random. (libcdio uses a clever algorithm to detect the endian, and doesn't have this problem.)

* manpage: merge new manpagewm42012-08-021-0/+685
About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2 master branch after revision 159102e0cb. Committers: * Clément Bœsch <ubitux@gmail.com> (Initial conversion to RST.) * Uoti Urpala <uau@mplayer2.org> (Many updates.) * Myself (Minor edits.) Most text of the manpage has been directly taken from the old manpage, because this is a conversion, not a complete rewrite. [1] http://git.mplayer2.org/uau/mplayer2.git/log/?h=man
