[xine-devel] State of DVD playback on Solaris/SPARC

[KAY R. <kom...@my...>]

i) In the function 'dvdnav_build_nav_list', the statement 'mrl->size =
0;' causes a segmentation fault for reasons unknown. Changing the
position of the statement, the position of the 'size' element in the
'mrl_t' structure, the optimization level, and the amount of memory
allocated for the 'this->mrls' structure have no effect. I'm going to
try compiling with gcc 2.x to see if this is a code generation problem.

ii) Solaris 2.9 has issues with encrypted DVD playback and libdvdread
fails to read some blocks in a consistant manner. I'm going to reinstall
Solaris 2.8 02/02 to verify this.

iii) The new read ahead cache in libdvdnav appears to be causing an
unacceptable performance drop. No ideas.
