			I am new to this wiki, and I don't want to jump too far
			ahead. However, I have modified the tutorial code so
			that it compiles and runs on cygwin gcc 3.4 and windows
			XP, using the latest released vlc version 0.8.6c.

			I will paste the code here, in the talk page, in
			case it would be a violation of etiquette to just dump
			the code on the main page. Note the code on the main
			page has syntax errors at least, and either it has
			big prototyping problems or else the related API's
			are substantially different in whatever vlc version the
			author used to compile against.

			Note for linux, remove <windows.h>, change
			"Sleep (10000)" to "sleep (10)".

			#include <stdio.h>
			#include <windows.h>
			#include <vlc/libvlc.h>

			static void quit_on_exception (libvlc_exception_t *excp) {
			if (libvlc_exception_raised (excp)) {
			fprintf(stderr, "error: %s\n", libvlc_exception_get_message(excp));
			exit(-1);
			}
			}

			int main(int argc, char **argv) {
			libvlc_exception_t excp;
			libvlc_instance_t *inst;
			int item;
			char myarg0 = "-I"; char myarg1 = "dummy";
			char *myarg2 = "--plugin-path=c:\\program files\\videolan\\plugins";
			char *myargs[4] = {myarg0, myarg1, myarg2, NULL};
			char *filename = "c:\\video\\main\\Everybody_Hates_Chris_Feb_26.mpg";

			libvlc_exception_init (&excp);
			inst = libvlc_new (3, myargs, &excp);
			quit_on_exception (&excp);
			item = libvlc_playlist_add (inst, filename, NULL, &excp);
			quit_on_exception (&excp);
			libvlc_playlist_play (inst, item, 0, NULL, &excp);
			quit_on_exception (&excp);
			Sleep (10000);
			libvlc_destroy (inst);
			return 0;
			}

New page

This code doesn't appear to compile. I am using gcc 3.4.
But some of the problems are obvious, eg line 6, the
parentheses don't match.

What version of libvlc was used to create the tutorial?
Functions libvlc_media_... don't appear to exist in the
latest release version, 0.8.6c. If an unreleased version
is used for the tutorial, that would be fine, if the
text mentioned that.
