Important notes:
----------------
- 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 has a fullscreen controller. This interface lacks the
- "Streaming Wizard" that used to be present in VLC 0.8.6.
- If you absolutely need it, we advise you to keep VLC 0.8.6.
+ 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.
* 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.:
* 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. Use access://url instead.
+ * 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 avcodec, avformat, swscale
- (or imgresample if you use a swscale-less ffmpeg build) and postproc modules.
+ * The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,

* 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
* 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.
