[Kwintv] The road to beta1...

[Dirk Ziegelmeier]

Time to update the buglist again:

BUGS:
-----

- CC plugin is broken and needs small fixups from someone who can try it
  out (no CC in Germany). Should be very easy.

- v4l plugin consumes much CPU time and makes heavy use of Qt Library
  Mutex. This has impact on the vbidecoder/teletext plugin, it is slowed down
  very much. Maybe station name retrieval from VBI is also impacted (but
  works for me).
  -> Not fixed, but on Kernel 2.6 it performs remarkably better. If only 2.6
  systemes are in use, there is no need to do something...
  The v4l plugin generally has a much smoother video playback for me on 2.6.
 
- V4l plugin: overlay is broken; software video scaling is not
  implemented (but not necessary for modern systems)

- Mouse cursor hiding is broken again since main window is a
  KDockMainWindow. After every popup of the elegant OSD, the mousecursor
  remains unhidden. Happens only in fullscreen mode for me.
  
- video on desktop does not work properly for me. It is always "one repaint
  event behind" when I use the XVIDEO plugin, this means I always see the
  shadow of the last visible window on the tv background. V4L works OK, but
  hides desktop icons until I click on them...

- Teletext plugin is painting VERY slow when toggeling transparency.
  Transparency and repainting sometimes does not work correctly.
  -> Again, with Kernel 2.6 it's much better. The guys did some _real_ good
  work this time, the new scheduler ROCKS...

- Flickering (sometimes excessive) at startup or when changing view modes

- XVIDEO does not support snaphots (possible?)


Minor QUIRKS:
-------------

- channel DCOP interface does not always work, there are situations where
  two channels can have the same name (import, scan) so the DCOP name is not
  set correctly


DONE:
-----

- No focus for TV Widget at startup.
  DONE, but fixed at the cost of flickering at startup

- Toolbar configuration fixes.
  FIXME Config action removed for now until it works correctly.

- Kernel 2.6. compiles OK. ALSA plugin works. A few more reports (or absence
  of complaints for a few more weeks) would increase my confidence in it.

- Timo Nentwig reported that the ALSA plugin looses it's config when two
  sound cards are present.
  Fixed. 

- v4l: X11 mode should work (but some things are hardcoded), X11 startup crash
  is fixed
