Important notes:
----------------
+ * This release will need Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), or more
+ recent to work correctly
* The HTTP interface is now only available on the local machine by default.
If you want to make it available from other machines, you will have to
edit the ".hosts" file.
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\old\.hosts
- On Mac OS X, you can find it in VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/.hosts
and respectively in VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/old/.hosts
- * This version of VLC contains a new interface for Windows and Linux. This
- interface lacks a few features that used to be present in vlc 0.8.6:
- - "Streaming wizard" and "VLM control". These features will be replaced
- by a better alternative in the next version. If you absolutely need these
- features, we advise you to keep vlc 0.8.6
- - Similarly, "Bookmarks" will be reintroduced in an improved version at a
- later point
- * The default for --sout-keep has changed. It's now activated by default.
- * The marq, mosaic and logo commands in the rc interface changed. They
- now require a target name as their first argument. Example:
- vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc <somevideo>
- You can then use commands like: @test marq-marquee Goodbye
- These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
- * The "rtp" access output module has been removed:
+ * This version of VLC contains a new interface for Windows and Linux.
+ This interface has a fullscreen controller and simplified preferences.
+ This interface lacks the "Streaming Wizard" that used to be present in VLC
+ 0.8.6, but provides basic profiles.
+ * The behavior of --sout-keep was changed. It's now activated by default.
+ * The marq, mosaic and logo commands in the rc interface changed. They
+ now require a target name as their first argument. Example:
+ vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc <somevideo>
+ You can then use commands like: @test marq-marquee Goodbye
+ If you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to the
+ plugin name (hence 'marq') in this example.
+ These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
+ * The "rtp" access output module has been removed.
Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
- Old: '#std{access=rtp,dst=239.255.1.2,sap}'
- New: '#rtp{dst=239.255.1.2,sap}'
+ Old: '#std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2:5004,sap}'
+ New: '#rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2,port=5004,sap}'
+ * You now need to append --m3u-extvlcopt to your command line to enable
+ EXTVLCOPT options parsing in m3u playlists. Note that only a limited set
+ of options is available to m3u playlists (CVE-2007-6683).
+ * The old access:url syntax is no longer supported to resolve ambiguities
+ with some file names. Use access://url instead.
+ E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
+ udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
+ * The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,
+ avformat, swscale (or imgresample if you use a swscale-less ffmpeg build)
+ and postproc modules.
+ * The web plugins ActiveX (IE)/Firefox/Mozilla/Safari now recognize the
+ following states: IDLE/CLOSE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4,
+ STOPPING=5, FORWARD=6, BACKWARD=7, ENDED=8, ERROR=9. With FORWARD and
+ BACKWARD being reserved for future implementations and are thus not
+ functional atm.
+ * Croping and padding in transcode are now done using the croppadd video
+ filter. For example:
+ transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=croppadd{cropttop=20,cropbottom=30,paddleft=100}}
+ * Canvas setting in transcode is now done using the canvas video filter.
+ For example:
+ transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=canvas{width=640,height=480}}
+ * Glide video output module has been removed.
