529 If you're using the old http interface, it's located in

541 now require a target name as their first argument. Example:
542 vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc <somevideo>
543 You can then use commands like: @test marq-marquee Goodbye
544 If you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to the
545 plugin name (hence 'marq') in this example.
546 These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
547 * The "rtp" access output module has been removed.
548 Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
549 Old: '#std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2:5004,sap}'

554 * The old access:url syntax is no longer supported to resolve ambiguities
555 with some file names. Use access://url instead.
556 E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
557 udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
558 * The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,

562 following states: IDLE/CLOSE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4,
563 STOPPING=5, FORWARD=6, BACKWARD=7, ENDED=8, ERROR=9. With FORWARD and
564 BACKWARD being reserved for future implementations and are thus not
566 * Croping and padding in transcode are now done using the croppadd video
568 transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=croppadd{cropttop=20,cropbottom=30,paddleft=100}}
569 * Canvas setting in transcode is now done using the canvas video filter.
