---------------------------------
Important notes:
----------------
- * This release will not work with Windows 98/ME and Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther)
+ * 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.
- 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.
+ 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.:
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 ;
+ 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)
For example:
transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=canvas{width=640,height=480}}
* Glide video output module has been removed.
- * Due to lack of maintainer, the Skins interface might not work properly.
