[Kma-anyg] Status 0.4 code

[Jarl v. K. <ja...@xs...>]

Hi All,

A little update about how the 0.4 code is coming alone. When I started 
it things went pretty smooth, but now I'm working on a few issues that 
take a lot more time. I didn't got a single bug report for 0.3.2 so I 
guess this one will do for now.   Basic functions in 0.4 are now all in 
place and working, memory corruptions and other bugs mostly fixed, and 
the new code has been made much faster as it was before.

1) Large mpeg file support: I'm working on getting KMA to support mpeg 
files which are larger as 2Gb. This is needed before I'll continue to 
work on the DVD module. KMA vitually cuts these files into 2gb chunks so 
the KiSS can play them. It's working, but not all the time. I think it 
has todo where KMA cuts the mpeg.. not sure yet.

2) Caching engine: KMA will pre-read all sources so it can supply the 
KiSS with data as fast as possible. Working, but not as fast as it 
should be. Caching for local files will speedup things, but for very 
slow sources like http streaming it will be crucial.

When these 2 are done I continue working on the various modules (DVD, 
SVCD, Http, etc.), after which it all will be ready.
