I've been trying to do the same thing but have so far been unsuccessfull.

I searched the forums for API-3 and found nothing. I have been able to get the root (stable) to download. Also as a guess I tried to change the path in WinCVS from "\xvidcore" to "\dev-api-3" and it asked for a password, so I'm starting to think that it's only meant for people with developer access. If someone could confirm or deny this I'd be greatful.

Thanks

use the following commands:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.xvid.org:/xvid co -R -r dev-api-3 xvidcore

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.xvid.org:/xvid co -R -r dev-api-3 vfw

As you can see, you do a normal checkup, but with -r dev-api-3

I've got a question about the actual development and thought I could revive this thread. There haven't been any CVS updates in the last time. Still it is just amazing how fast XviD is developing and two weeks without updates are not really a long time. But I heard that dev-api-4 is in development and so I was wondering if the changes take place there. There is no anonymous login for dev-api-4 and I don't want anybody to share their secrets. It's just that I was under the impression that Syskin fixed some blocking issues and these fixes had not been checked into CVS dev-api-3.
Well, that was not the only reason for reopening this thread. Another thing is: I'm to dump to access the changelog. How are you doing this? I'm using WinCVS and neither the history button, nor the diff button delivered the results I wanted. In another thread Koepi posted that surely everybody now how to access this log. I don't :(
Best regards,

hi
dev-api-4 can be downloaded by a simply
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.xvid.org:/xvid co -R -r dev-api-4 xvidcore

but there are no fix or work in cvs for this release since now.. only a fork=)

coders are working debugging dev-api-3 and try speedup dev-api-3

and i'm waiting too new code to play with=)

why not try new b-frame-threshold form RADEK or syskin that has been uploaded yesterday?

byeee

[elcabesa]

Dev-api-4 is only a testground for new api (which in fact is version 3). There will be no other development changes to dev-api-4, and once it's ready, it will be combined with dev-api-3.

Now the important part: there is no dev-api-3 in cvs anymore. Well maybe it's still there, but only because noone deleted it. It has been moved to cvs head! so if you want latest bugs, download the main cvs head. Current version is 1.-127.0 and it will go up until we have 1.0.0.
'Stable' version (v 0.9) used to be there, but is not available by cvs anymore.

It's just that I was under the impression that Syskin fixed some blocking issues and these fixes had not been checked into CVS dev-api-3.Nah, it's still not there :( But I commited a new p/b/i decision code, which doesn't put as many bframes (there was too many) and prevents b-frames from being used in still-motion scenes - because I didn't like them there. Please check it out and tell me if you like it.

@sysKin
Thanks for all the information, I'll check out cvs head next time. No wonder there were no changes to dev-api-3 when it's just there because nobody deleted it. And yes, I want the latest bugs, bugs are great. At least I made the experience, that most of the "bugs" the developers implement are giving a better quality.
@elcabesa
Not that it matters anymore after sysKin's explanations, but do you get access to the cvs with the line you posted? I get an authentification error. But that's not so important.
@all
There is still one question unanswered. How do I access to the changelog? I think it could have been mikeson that posted the changelog in another thread. Did you get this from cvs or from umaniacs binaries?
Thank you,
JimiK

[elcabesa]

ok sorry
this is a script that download dev-4-api
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.xvid.org:/xvid login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.xvid.org:/xvid co -R -r dev-api-4 xvidcore

=)
and umaniacs changelogs seemed to have stopped another time....

please xvid team, give us a changelog

Yes, that would be great!

[Bulletproof]

yes it seems umaniac's hasnt updated for a week+, is his site broken or has there just been no updates?

[elcabesa]

there has been some update since umaniacs site stop

[Bulletproof]

Is there an alternate site that compiles them?

[JimiK]

Sorry to ask this stupid question, but I seem to be too dumb to check out the cvs head. I thought the command would be the following:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.xvid.org:/xvid login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.xvid.org:/xvid co -R xvidcore
But if I do this, there are no changes in this repository. So I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me the correct command.
Best regards,
JimiK

remove -R
dann klapts auch mit dem Nachbarn :D

[JimiK]

Looks like I'm to dumb to post the correct commandline. I used the correct one without the -R. Still it would not update. Maybe it is because I did the first checkout under Unix, then copied the files to Windows. Now I did a complete new checkout under Windows. Let's hope updating will work from now on.
Sincerely, JimiK

[CruNcher]

ah you looking for the update command it sounded you searched for the correct checkout :)
cvs update -P if you allready checkdout and got those /cvs dirs
