Should I clean up and submit patches?

Hello list,

For the past couple of years I have been applying my own set of rather rough patches to the xine library.  Although this list seems curiously devoid of traffic I thought I'd ask if there was enough interest that it would be worth me spending some time to clean them up and submit them?  There are three that might be of interest:

1. An amendment to the stdin plugin (fd:// url) to allow a supplied file descriptor number.  This is used by my pvr software which handles the creation of a pipe by itself and then passes the descriptor number to xine for display.

2. A Topfield rec file input plugin derived from the MPEG-TS plugin.

3. A closed caption teletext spu plugin which decodes and displays the DVB teletext captions broadcast in Australia.  This is probably the most useful but it also the most rough and I cannot guarantee it will work elsewhere in the world.

Any interest?

Roger.

The first step is to post them here with suitable subject lines and
descriptions. If you have a local xine-lib repository (cloned from [0]), then
you could commit them then use "hg email" to send them.

They'll probably either end up in the patch queue [1] or be committed to the
master repository (and if you want to test stuff that's in the patch queue,
that'd be useful).

BTW, you should check if any significant changes are needed for porting to
the 1.2 branch.

I haven't received any responses other than your own so I'll leave it on the back burner until I have time to clean things up.  Fixing deadlocks and changing my code so it can execute MHP-like java xlets will get a higher priority.

The input and demux patches will probably be fine but the teletext spu decoder will at a minimum need tweaking for the different API.  I've never managed to get the 1.2 branch to properly compile and link so I can't say what else might be needed.

Regards,
Roger.
