530 If you're using the old http interface, it's located in
531 /usr/share/vlc/http/old/.hosts

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

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

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