Hi,

I'm currently working a bit more on gmerlin than I did in the past
months. This is what I achieved:

- A v4l2 video output plugin (e.g. for the player), which works
   with v4l2loopback [1]. You can use the player output as source for
   programs, which usually read from webcams (e.g. video conferencing
   apps).

- More files are supported, most notably HD Matroska files (with DTS
   audio and H.264 video) and HD DVB broadcasts with H.264 streams.

- An OCR module, which can convert graphical subtitles into textual
   ones. It calls tesseract as an external program, but can be
   extended for other OCR backends.

- The ffmpeg encoding plugins now accept compressed packets, which
   means I can now (re)multiplex MPEG streams without using temporary
   files.

- A lame broadcast plugin, which sends an mp3 stream to an icecast
   server. Also supports streaming the current song name to the
   client.

- A plugin, which takes a bunch of audio files, shuffles them and
   plays them as if it was an audio recording plugin. I use this
   together with the lame broadcaster and an icecast server to
   make my audio playlists available as http streams in my LAN.

- And of course lots of fixes (but probably new bugs as well).

I try to prepare a prerelease by end of March. If you are curious or
want to help, you can download and compile the current svn, try to
make it crash and tell me if you succeeded :)
