Hi,
I'm looking for advice about how to properly implement the case-insensitive fourcc check of video formats required by the conformance test msvfw32, i.e. how to eliminate the 2 todo_wine in http://test.winehq.org/data/tests/msvfw32:msvfw.html
This would allow the AppDB rating of the application "The Alien Nations / Die Völker" to jump from garbage to silver. Cf. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15915 http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=blob;f=dlls/msvfw32/tests/msvfw.c;h...
The quick and dirty hack (to make the game run) is to change - if (icinfo && icinfo->fccType != ICTYPE_VIDEO) into + if (icinfo && icinfo->fccType != ICTYPE_VIDEO && icinfo->fccType != mmioFOURCC('V', 'I', 'D', 'C')) in files dlls/iccvid/iccvid.c, likewise in msvidc32/msvideo1.c and msrle32/msrle32.c
But I wouldn't even think of submiting that to wine-patches.
Somehow a case-insensitive check is required. For instance, msvfw32/msvideo_main.c:ICOpen() uses the case-insensitive helper function compare_fourcc(). But the above may not be the correct place for this check. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help, Jörg Höhle
