RE: [xine-devel] sig* && video_out.c

[James Courtier-D. <Ja...@su...>]

I would have thought that one way to port xine would have been to support
SDL for video and audio out.
SDL is a library supported on both linux and windows, so it might be worth
investigating.
I don't know anything about mingw32.
I expect that the GUI bit would have to be changed quite a lot to work on
Windows.

As for the sig stuff in video_out.c, it controls the pause() statement.
242: pause()
...
248: vo_set_timer sets the timer to kick off each frame duration.

it then displays a frame and returns to the pause() and waits for the kick.

You could easily implement this in windows with a function instead of the
pause() statement.
The function would get the current time, compare it with the time of the
kick, and just sleep for the different in the times.

I hope this helps

Cheers
James
