Important notes:
----------------
- * On Linux, localization will be disabled if you have glibc 2.6 or 2.7 due
- to a major bug in libintl with these glibc versions.
* 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.
- 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". 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.
- * 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
- These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
- * The "rtp" access output module has been removed:
