i think carl is asking whom did the deprecating in ffmpeg. carl: if this new api works with kodi and mplayer, whats the problem? are there still users of this api in 2015? yes or no? carl, do you use this api? what for? to test vdpau? carl is maintainer of this vdpau code, wm4. its right there in MAINTAINERS. http://ffmpeg.org/developer.html#Contributing 1.4 Development Policy 7. Do not commit changes to the build system (Makefiles, configure script) which change behavior, defaults etc, without asking first. The same applies to compiler warning fixes, trivial looking fixes and to code maintained by other developers. We usually have a reason for doing things the way we do. Send your changes as patches to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list, and if the code maintainers say OK, you may commit. This does not apply to files you wrote and/or maintain. specifically says do not change code without maintainers approval, twice. feel free to change developer policy by rfc'ing a patch.... i'm just trying to help. -compn _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
