gmerlin-0.1.5pre3 is finished

Get it here:

http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/gmerlin/gmerlin-0.1.5pre3.tar.gz

This is hopefully the last prerelease for gmerlin-0.1.5.
It has again lots of bugs fixed.

There could some cosmetic changes be made (some dialogs look a bit ugly), but in principal I would release this as gmerlin-0.1.5 in a week or so.

Please test it and report any bugs. These parts are new and need special attention:

- Up/downmixing routines: There are now routines for mixing every loudspeaker combination to every other. Since their number is really large, not all of them could be tested. If you hear strange sounds or nothing at all, please copy the audio formats of the input and output
plugins from the info window and paste them into the gmerlin help forum.

- Avi read/write support: Some codecs are known to have colorspace related bugs. If you get the wrong colors when playing back an avi, please send me the video formats of the input and output plugins for playing, and, if the avi was encoded with gmerlin, for encoding. In this case, the console output from gmerlin is also important, because I need to know, which codec shows the behaviour.

- The mpeg video support and the VCD plugin are also new. They were tested a lot, but since there are so many variations of mpeg files in the internet, I can't say, that mpeg video support is completely stable now. So try with as many files as possible and report problems (the best way is to upload them somewhere, so I can analyze them).

Or simly tell, that everything works for you and what you tried. That's also great help, speeds up the release cycles and makes developers happy :-)

Changes:

- Added all audio up/downmixing routines
- Gmerlin can now be compiled without the vorbis libraries installed
- If no plugins are found, gmerlin exists with an informative message instead of a segfault.
- Many other bugs are fixed
