From 6879d1162c13a39cdfc231e7052711db0926d590 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Pigozzi Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2012 10:13:18 +0200 Subject: vo_sharedbuffer: remove this VO Since slave mode is not planned to be kept, this VO is useless and I'm removing it. This VO was useful for OSX GUIs. Since in cocoa you can't embed views in windows from other processes, this VO was writing to a sharedbuffer with mmap. The OSX GUIs would then read from the buffer and render the image with an external renderer. If in the future we will want to support GUIs we will need to reasearch the IOSurface framework. This allows to share kernel managed image data across processes and integrates well with OpenGL. --- DOCS/man/en/vo.rst | 11 ----------- 1 file changed, 11 deletions(-) (limited to 'DOCS') diff --git a/DOCS/man/en/vo.rst b/DOCS/man/en/vo.rst index 75ef3ae784..5f501f0348 100644 --- a/DOCS/man/en/vo.rst +++ b/DOCS/man/en/vo.rst @@ -712,14 +712,3 @@ image JPEG DPI (default: 72) outdir= Specify the directory to save the image files to (default: ``./``). - -sharedbuffer (Mac OS X 10.6 and later) - Mac OS X headless video output designed to interact with GUIs.
