[linuxtv-softmpeg] Current project status

[Michael Hunold <hunold@convergence.de>]

Hello all,

it's been really quite on this mailing list, so I'd like to manifest the 
current project status so far.

"Unfortunately" libsoftmpeg works "good enough" for my purposes, so I 
have shifted my workload mainly to developping the upcoming Linux DVB 
API version 4.

Colin has made some improvement on the cle266 MPEG hardware decoding 
support, but it's not production ready yet. Because of the fact that 
pure software decoding works on the C3 1Ghz/M10000 platform, I didn't 
investigate this further.

I know that corrupt input streams can cause segmentation faults, because 
buffer size checks are not nonexistent at some places or are too lazy at 
other places. I'm looking forward to fix this.

Adding proper trickmode capabilities or at least some stuff to improve 
vdr playbacks to run more smoothly are planned next, although I cannot 
promise any dates.

CU
Michael.
