[xine-user] major 0.4.01 bug found

[Henry W. <ha...@nc...>]

Found the root of a lot of the 0.4.01 problems. 
In video_out.c the vo_set_logo_mode() function is 
responsible for creating and joining the 
video_out_loop thread. But the thread isn't
getting shutdown in the case of transitioning 
between files in the playlist, the exisiting
thread is left running and a new thread is
created. As you advance through the play list, 
more and more threads are created until 
contention between them causes a hang. I 
changed vo_reset() to stop and join the 
thread and similarly changed vo_set_logo_mode()
as a failsafe.

With that fix, some more queuing tweaks, and other
odds-n--ends -- playback is much smoother with fewer 
discarded and skipped frames. Once I've done a 
some more testing, I'll put together a patch.
