commandline problem:
if you can't start the non-gui version without a X server, try to call pjx with the 'headless' option
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar ProjectX.jar [options] <file>


Project X 0.90.1.00 30.09.2005

collects all patches from 0.82.1 and solved problems from 0.90 pre-release

now it is possible to compile and run it without the gui (javax.swing.) (means all source files in /gui/..).
so there is no requirement of running a X server or similars anymore, calling it from the commandline.

the source/key/settings handling has been changed completely, that means i.e. CL + ini parameters.
old one's aren't compatible and won't work anymore.
tell us, whether or not more CLI switches are wished. (with examples)

the gui and its placement of options has been changed again, don't cry..

there are so many changes inside, that we would be happy when it works as before at this point.

this is the 1st step of refactoring, what we will continue in following releases.
don't expect better error handling. that will come sometime later.. we still have to make a lot of changes.



fixes:
- append extension to PES didn't work
- GUI hasn't started, forced by the CLI switch

- allow gaps in audio didn't work on pre-scan
- CRC validation didn't work on 44.1khz AC3 data
- FTP: problems with some national characters in filenames
- 'add sequenceheader' didn't work properly
- 'yield()' removed, solves some process probs on linux.
- some file access probs with local filesystem
- ...

changes:
- 'audio pitch' option removed from gui
- 'd2v parameters' options removed from gui
- allows writing of normal and big log at a time
- enhanced VPS,WSS and RDS decoding
- loading a file immediately performs a pre-scan of it, a wrong detection can be overidden by manually assignment
- file info is shown in the OSD, and can be copied to the clipboard
- direct conversion of mpa48 'single to dual' removed
- all primary parser modified, less errors
- pes-prebuffer removed, allocates it automatically
- file naming rules of multiple streams
- dragndrop mod, when using MacOsTiger
- changed CLI switch names
- ...

new:
- teletext: optional text export in Unicode
- pre-processing of wrong ac3 PES files, written by the Hp SW
- pre-processing to strip raw audio data from DD and DTS-Wave files (possibly doesn't work with some formats, don't use it with unknown files)
- create a DD/DTS-Wave from Ac3/DTS streams (only meant for the use with Audio-CD-R's, possibly doesn't work with some formats)
- direct conversion of mpa48 'single to 3D stereo' (adds a delay to ch B)
- PMT-autofilter, makes a preselection of linked TS-PIDs in PMT (spares the Pidlist)
- 'sPES->MPG' option, handles PES files as mpg2ps data
- set chapters in preview (bytepos. cut), will be written into celltimes.txt on demux
- FTP: option to specify server 'resume' property, jumps now to the 1st cut startpos.
- FTP: allows elementary streams as input
- TF header: 3rd option (new TF5x00)
- option to update the timestamp of a (wrong) file (outside of our calendar)
- ...

change - a lot internals

new - <messages>: option to append the current process time index to any log info
new - <messages>: option to disable the 'PES header in ES'-message(demux only)
new - <options>: option to close program after the job has been finished
new - <video>: option to insert an additional sequenzendcode if a change in video format occurs (demux only)
new - <video>: option to add/patch the sequence.display.extension/SDE, an emtpy field repeats the encoded size (recommended), otherwise key in any other value (e.g. '720*576') (demux only)
new - <special>: option to catch a little backward glitch in video pts (demux only)
new - <special>: option to handle different cell_times in VOBs (pts's in cells are not continuous) (demux only)
new - <subtitle>: teletext: option to draw outlined text char's (if less than 4 colors/pic in source) instead of a complete half transparent background for the whole subtitle picture
new - <GUI menu>: online connection to verify the latest version info and availability (may not work with a proxy)
new - <CLI>: accepts a batch (txt-)file/URL as input, with the extensions 'bfl' or 'tpl' (then this must include one file segment per line as input). ATM, this batch file doesn't support full unicode for FTP input URLs, so keep them simple.
new - TS export: additional PMT entry to fit AC3 to some players
new - scan fileinfo: TS: shows VPS(VBI)-PIDs and PIDs stream identifier of this service, and with better sorting of multiple media PIDs
new - TS: VPS(VBI)-PIDs will now be ignored (less misinterpretation with other private data streams)
new - preview: some code outsourced for faster decoding; usage is optional/system dependent (copy the Win32's '.dll' in the "/lib" folder to the .jar's working or system directory)
new - <coll spec.>: preview: option to udpate picture while scrolling
new - <options>: preview: buffersize is user defined, lower values read/store less data to find next I-Frame

new - new input interface:
- implements a FTP-Client (ATM read access only), provided by Apache's Jakarta Project libraries 'commons-net' and 'oro'
(both are required! take care that the compiled versions are suited to your JRE, there's no backward compatibility!)
* supports any ports, remote rename and resume(aka. 'REST', ftp-server should provide it for preview/cut and hexviewer)
* supports user specific FTP commands (executed before processing) (<extern> panel, multiple commands delimited by '|')
* simple FTP access is possible by adding a known URL in the file context menus or as a CLI argument
* enhanced FTP access with directory listings is possible through the 'autoload panel', by choosing and testing a connection
(ftp settings will be saved, but chosen directory listings not, because an offline server to connect on startup blocks)
* dependent on the ftp-server, some features are not available or do not work as designed
(we encounter problems with 'spaces in directory names', 'inaccessible big files', 'no support of resume', 'slow response time')
- File- (also as file:URL) and Topfield-HD access should work as before
- now, slow data input shouldn't result in data-lost (wrong file pointers) anymore


Project X 0.81.9 29.10.2004

modified sources: all ;)

- change: source handling + GUI options modified, some standard settings are changedNote: some ini parameters have been replaced and may not work with old settings anymore!
- change: resource data handling modifiedNote: optional/required files (e.g. language file, ac3.bin) can be placed into the .jar or (outside) in the working directory
- new: language menu is now available, starting with the system standard languageATM, there is an english language file (required) and, optional, one for german and danish (spanish planned), support for languages is welcome
- new: creation of a chapter file (txt) incl. all mode changes of audio + video (timecode + comment, esp. for M2S)
- new: option to save the output of a collection to a new folder called "date-time-name" based of the first sourcefile
- fix: PTS continue problem combining file segments > 2GB
- fix: failed renaming of right soundtrack file when split 2channel to 2 singel channel
- fix: exception on enabled d2v option, but missing video export
- fix: ES demux: prevention of buffer overflow on too much loaded GOP sizes (> 6MB not allowed as in PES)
- change: DVB subpicture streams now also accepted in VDR/PES format
- change: adaption (new option) for parsing of special Humax file format, incl. preview
- change: "out of sequence" msg. carries the latest video timecode
- change: pre-scan of mpg/pes etc. now shows also multiple audio + video streams + subtitle streams
- change: pre-scan, 2nd try on unknown file types, filepointer will be positioned at ~10% of file size
- change: post commands are now called as commandline, not arguments (what's actually the same)
- change: reading cutpoint files allows comments following any timeindex/number, at least one whitespace char must separate them
- change: cutpoints now also apply to stream2stream conversions. depending on the source packetization, the cuts are 'clean' (no pixel garbage)Note: even if cuts are possible now, there is no error/timecode correction as before
- change: 59Hz framerate calculation (only simple adaption)
- change: last selected folder in the systems file dialogue will be saved
- change: multiple file selection in the file dialogue box (not supported by some JREs)
- change: TS parse: better PID content detection (less mis-detection)
- change: now, the sourcecode adaptions for Topfield HD access are included. if you wonna try the AddOn from chrisg, just load and install the required .dll's only


Project X 0.81.8.01 04.09.2004
- fix: since V 081.7int06, some TS file segments of dreambox were not combined properly (wrong packet sequence error), even if that option was enabled

07.04.2004 int18
IDDBufferedOutputStream.java
- simple adaption of .idd export (exclude psb. wrong IDs)
MPVD.java
- preview infos of prog/interl. re-arranged X.java SUBPICTURE.java
- support of 'Subpicture demux' added (from VOB/MPG-PS/ES) with check, preview and resync (cut). uses preview window of teletext. if it's visible, demux process is slower caused by decoding of the picture. the colors in preview does NOT represent the colors defined in the belonging .ifo file! take care of it by re-authoring the new .sup files..
- if creating/rewriting 'SUP' format, preview background color depends on the last active/found source video_resolution, subpicture must not exceed the 'good gray' display area into the 'bad red' area..! it has then to be re-adjusted.. X.java TELETEXT.java
- teletext decoding (chars of LATIN 1 codepage) and syncing revised and optimized X.java AUDIO.java
- support of LPCM (48+96kHz/up to 8-ch) demux added (from VOB/MPG-PS) by creating a .wav file (intel byte order) it's still under development; check and synchronize isn't yet optimized, but may produce usable results SCAN.java
- fix: array exception
- shows the first frame of a subpicture ES
- parsing of TS-PMT displays now languages and other stuff of V/A/T X.java
- fix?: conversions toXYZ with split does not continue with the next free 'mapping ID', if a new PES-ID of the same type has been arrived after a previous split part.
- {global PTS shift} value now editable as a double (maybe better definitions than hours only)
- GOP/frame graphic now displays an interlaced sequence with a 'tiled yellow symbol'
- fix: issue 'pts mismatch', if cut of ES Video with ES Audio with 'later' cutpoints
- fix: preview: autosearch video pid of ts
- fix: demux
- array exception on too short payload sizes
- cutpoint files now include the cut_mode depending on the GUI setting (allowed in any line). if exists, loading such a cutpoint file the cut_mode will be changed
- PES header in an ES (what's not allowed) will be messaged an replaced by zero bytes
- pidlist is now uppercase
- some other fixes..
- beginning GUI (and also internal) revision, starts with a new MenuBar and moves lots of options.. TS.java
- 'toTS': generated PMT of incl. teletext services contains static links to often used subtitle pages (deu150, ger777, eng888) X.java
MPVD.java
- <extern> {autosave each 1st I-Frame of GOP as bmp} export to the given base output directory (if subdirectory export is chosen). using GUI, saving the 1st pic requires a confirmation or changing of the out directory using CLI, 'last chance to change the directory before overwriting' is not implemented. X.java StartUp.java
- lic. agreement moved to startup-'wait'-time until GUI is completely loaded it will disappear only if the user has confirmed the terms of use once. Html.java
- new 'Help' option opens a html frame to surf in lokal files, starting at "htmls/index.html" anyone can add own pages/links for it


20.02.2004 int17
StartUp.java
- little startup window for future use X.java
- some Log messages extended
- some fixes
- gopcheck: fix? sometimes wrong delivery of a PTS in 1st gop
- <extern> {create index.vdr when making VDR} , if enabled, the written files are also renamed to the usual .vdr segment names indexed by the index.vdr
- <extern> {autosave PTS values of cutpoints} , if enabled, any cutpoint will be exported as its belongin' GOP# PTS start value to <"file".Xpl> (does not apply to additional set export limits!)
- <coll. specials> {use PTS for cuts} is intended to use these PTS cut lists (preview is not available in this mode), load an existing cutpoint file via drag'ndrop onto {load cutpoints..} or the points 'key-in' field.

13.02.2004 int16
X.java
- some Log messages extended MPAD.java
- decode to PCM: .aif (Apple) format for output added
MPVD.java
- preview: shows field_encoding_type of I-picture (F-rame,T-op,B-ottom) in addition to top_field_first flag (non-frame encoded pictures are not handled correctly when demux by Pj.X, ATM)
- preview: <coll. specials> {fast/worse decoding} uses only the 1st pixel of each block in a macroblock.


07.02.2004 int15
X.java
- MPEG1-PS: split on simple conversion 'to VDR/M2P/PVA/TS' has stopped after 1st part
- fix1: 'action: to..' options: enabled split wrote the last PES packet of a split part into the next part, too. (even when overlap disabled)
- multiple input files: consecutive PTSs of file segments less than 10sec. assume one recording. (fmly. 2sec.), otherwise next files must contain a sequenceheader. if not, demux will not export further video data (because of unknown 'real' picture resol. of next parts)
- change MPEG-ES: sequence_end_code does not stop the demux process anymore.

MPVD.java
- shows coded framerate in preview


05.02.2004 int14
X.java
- MPEG1-PS: simple conversion 'to VDR/M2P/PVA/TS' added
- some messages changed
- fix1: arrayexception on PES sources
- fix2: arrayexception on ES sources


31.01.2004 int13
X.java
- teletext: adaption for 'non-System B' DVB-ttx stuffing lines (2* 46bytes length), prevents lots of 'missing..' messages and resulting errors (seen on Pro7.ger) SCAN.java
- preparing file support of ES-Subpicture (.sup) as input


29.01.2004 int12
SUBPICTURE.java
- preview area extended (prevent exceptions on big char sizes and/or 2nd Y-Offsets) SCAN.java
- search for TS-syncbytes extended (at least 1MB, refers to scan_buffer_size) (better detection of clear PVR files from emTech320) X.java AUDIO.java
- add: {use Timecode for cuts}, timecode must be formatted like "hour.min.sec.frame" (allowed separators: "." or ":"), starting at "0" (missing values are set to 0) ATM, a cutpoint refers to the start-timecode (recalculated to first PTS occurance) of a GOP.
- changes for message: "missing startcode.."
- change when concatenate different files (PTS gap extended from min. 5sec to 20sec between foreign files), sometimes 5sec didn't reach.
- change for audio_insertion_message (sometimes wrong calculation of inserted time_length for log_display only, not insertion itself)
- RIFF/X-PCM (step 2, ATM not LPCM) incl. multichannel support added (to enable cut with video), ATM no insertion/add message, if so.
- {specials1} -> {join file segments} , attempt to join splitted TS packets on boundaries of file segments (dreambox) (thx2Ghost for the implementation)
- fix: exception on multichannel TS data (with an empty PIDlist and more than one video PID data), wrong delivery of 2nd video PID data


30.12.2003 int10
X.java HEXVIEWER.java AUDIO.java MPAD.java SCAN.java TELETEXT.java SUBPICTURE.java
- GUI re-arranged (video,options,extern)
- {extern} execution procedure of post commands incl. arguments changed (and: packing the main application line into " chars, it's used also for the arguments)
- mods to allow multiple (independent) teletext sub-ids/-streams in one stream (0x10..1F)
- fix: Exception, if GOP/Sequ. did not contain any frame
- {options} -> {append new file extensions (PES)} : for secondary PES streams like multiple audio/Ttx, it only appends the new extension instead of replace the existing for the new file.
- {hexviewer} info line while saving binary part of file
- {decode to PCM} a not yet decodable frame (with MPAD), but of known format (as mp3) in the stream, will be replaced with the corresponding number of silent samples (resampled if necessary), to fit the given time_length to keep PCM audio in sync.
- {scan} pmt-info: PMTcheck fixed
- {audio} -> {allow spaces between frames} (handle with care! and only with _good_ data) (it does not verify the frame length of given valid frame header data, so the results are undefined and maybe corrupted frames.. )
- {files} file-info: detect & display RIFF WAVE data (Audio ES) , for planned (L)PCM support
- {teletext} SUP-format only: ascii chars with non-black background are now written in italic_style (e.g. commentarys) (note: many fonts seem not to support an optional italic_style in the same font name.., sans serif does, comic sans not)


22.12.2003 int08/int09
X.java
- fix: {parse MPG as VDR} -> MPG_startcodes_check was disabled when activated.
workaround for memory overload when reloading TTX PTS data (what can exceed the max. memory, caused by using PTS data (same value) for _every_ small TTX packet)


20.12.2003 int07
X.java
- nextfile PTS check_buffer now depends on {pre-Scan buffersize} (options) AUDIO.java SCAN.java X.java
- now support of DTS Audio (thx to R_One for the first implementation) should work for all input formats.. only limited tests are done ATM, may not work in some circumstances.. notes: * RiffHeader option as for AC3 does not work ATM, so don't activate.. * don't confuse DTS-wav with 'pure' DTS data (what X 'hopefully understands') * DTS-wav is what you burn as 'faked' PCM data tracks to Audio-only CD-R/DVD-Rs. * usually it has to be converted externally (see -> http://hypercubemx.free.fr/html/download1.html for tools)


14.12.2003 int06
X.java, IDDBuffered....java
- better handling of low bitrate video data (as in MPEG1)

12.12.2003 int05
X.java
- change in time formatting of .ssa subtitles (caused by several JREs)
- {options} -> {start path for file selection} in a filechooser # empty = std = user.home # <path> = start here at 1st call of chooser in a session # ?<path> = start here at every call of chooser in a session


06/10.12.2003 int03/04
SCAN.java
- fix for "added pre-Scan buffer field for user choice " (exception while detection of ES)


04.12.2003 int02
X.java SCAN.java
- changed handling of filetype 'vdr packsize0' due to a cutpoint mismatch increase the I-buffer size if necessary, so that you don't get 'missing next startcode (packsize=0)' , but lower values accelerate the process at least twice than before..
- added pre-Scan buffer field for user choice (increase for better detection of filetype mentioned as above.)


01.12.2003 int01
MPVD.java preview -change issue 'cannot find sequenceheader' -> temporary removed
