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)
- 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) when changing view modes
- Colour palette corruption was reported by two users (Neil, Piggz), but
may be a XServer problem.
- Screensaver: shutdown problems (app is killed and has no chance to mute
audio)
Minor QUIRKS:
-------------
- no DOCs :-)
- 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
- Toolbar configuration fixes.
FIXME Config action removed for now until it works correctly.
DONE:
-----
- No focus for TV Widget at startup.
Fixed.
- 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
- 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.
Fixed.
- XVIDEO does not support snaphots (possible?)
- Not possible. Maybe in a later version of XFree v4l bridge.
