Last change: 2008-02-03 This is the source code of KCeasy。

Since version 0.10 KCeasy uses the VLC (http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/) as its
internal media player.

SimpleVLC
---------

SimpleVLC, a simple DLL wrapper around libvlc was written for this purpose.
It currently works only on window but porting to other platforms should be easy.
Some work is required for it to be universally useful though. Any volunteers?

To build SimpleVLC for use with KCeasy first install cygwin and get the VLC source
tree. Patch Makefile.am and configure.ac in the root of the tree and apply any other
patches currently in kceasy\controls\VLC (Things which haven't made it into the
official VLC tree yet).
Follow the VLC instructions on how to build VLC with cygwin and use the
--enable-simplevlc configure option to also get SimpleVLC built.
You can also use svlc_config.sh to configure a minimal build of vlc for use with
KCeasy.

Copy the resulting simplevlc.dll into the same dir as KCeasy.exe.

Note: directx_fullscreen.diff seems to no longer be required as of VLC 0.8.1.

access giftstate
----------------

The giftstate access module allows to play incompleted files from gift state files.
Copy giftstate.c to modules/access and path Modules.am before running ./bootstrap.
